4 Characteristic Democratic
Argument.

Q
Last week when Senator Sher,
man was discussing Louisiana af.
fairs, Mr.. Bogy interrupted him in
his usual clustering style. and de-
nOunced Gov. Packard as an "in
famous robber." ThcreuDon, the
galleries, filled with the vanguard
OF WattcrsOn's one hundred thou
sand unarmed Democratic army
perhaps, cheered him yociferous-
ly. Senator Edmunds promptly
moved to clear the galleries. Mr..
Sherman said, ooh let the CALLER
leries applaud such sentiments if
they chose. have passed through
such scenes in 1856 and 1860"
Edmunds insisted on his motion,
however, at the same time admin
lstering a sharp Tebuke to the
bulldozers, and the galleries were
cleared, when Mr.. Sherman went
on with his remarks uninterrupt-
ed, except by the little Senator
from Missouri.
It's doubtless a part Of the reg
ularly organized plan Of the Dem
ocratic party to intimidate Con
@ress in that way. We trust that
Republican Senators and Repre-
scntatiyeshaye back bone enough
TO spUrn all such demonstrations.
AJu5tcausc never needs such in
iluences as that to prop il up.
Only ruflians and reckless adven
turcrs resort TO such arguments,
and they have no weight with any
but moral and physical towards.
The fact that these men resort to
such means is in q reflection on
the character for courage of those
whom they intend to influence.
The same spirit acted out would !
bring about a repetition Of the F.
Brooks-Sumner outrage. Men |
who do such things would carry /
their points by brute force if they |
dared to. They who have any /
respect for their country or them |
selves, never indulge in such dem
OnstratiOns on such occasions. |
Such conduct comes from the off
scourings Of cities-the gamblers.
thieves, pick-pockets and bawdy
house pimps, who have nothing TO
gain by fair dealing, and we pity
the United States Senator who
feels ccmplimented by their ap-
plause. It would cause honest,
intelligent men to hesitate and
look carefully to their position,
lest, meeting with the favor Of
such cattle as we have described,
they might not be wrong. The
Senate did right to clear the gal
.eries, and honest men present
were fortunate if they escaped
having their pockets
picked.

He Would Not Mourn for VAN
GePbilt.

Everybody did not love Como
dore Vanderbilt, and even when
death has switched him off, some
people cannot learn to look upon
him with affection. asGsummer,
when he died, the first time the
vessels in our harbor put their
flags at half mast. Among the
rest was one vessel, the owner Of
which stood at the foot of Madi-
son street just as the captain, who
had been out to his vessel to put
the flags at half mast stepped on
shore, The owner of the vessel
met him with a terrible squall
depicted on his face. Captain"
said he, "get right into that boat
and go back to that vessel and
raise those flags clear to the top
Of the mask. None Of your half
mast business on my vessel in
honor Of old Vanderbilt. lie
cheated me out Of $4,000 once,
and you bet yo ur lifoI wont put
on mourning for him." And thus
it happened that on that day one
vessel of all those in the harbor
had its colors flying as gaily as if

Washington Special 10 Cincinnati Gazette.
Advances have been made by
the Democrats looking toward
dropping the examination Of tele-
grams, and having the dropping
begin before the Oregon tcle-
grams are made public. II is not
likely that any such proposition
will be agreed to, as the members
Of the Republican Committee as
sert that they have sent no dis
patches which they are not fully
able TO defend.
On the contrary, certain indis
Greet Democrats have admitted
that some Of Colonel Pelton's tel
egrams about the Oregon matter
are Of an exceedingly indiscreet
character, though they stoutly
claim that Mr.. Tilden did not
know about them when they were
sent, and repudiated them the
moment he learned their con,
tents. From these admissions,
The Republicans are disposed to
attach much importance to their
production, and for this reason no
compromise in regard to the tele-
grams seem probable.

New Years day dawned bright
and beautiful, and il was a merry
party that left Glendale that
morning in handsome turnouls,
well-tucked up in 1eecy robes,
with jingling bells ming!ing with
their own lively conversation and
ringing laughter.
Mabel herself looked lovely as
she skinned over the sparkling
snow, with Guy by her side. Hap
piness and excitement gave ami
nation to her countcnance, and
when they came TO the great
woods that lay a few miles out Of
Glendale, Mabel declared she
hadnevcr before seen anything so
beautiful. The ice Of The preyi-
ous day had not yet melted, and
every tree and bush seemed laden
with flashing CRYSTALS, while the
sunlight danced over the snow
drifts and hills, dazzling the eye
with its ei'ulgent brightness.

Go kneel as l have knelt;
Go weep where l have wcpt

Go weep where / have wcpt,
Der loved fathers fall;
See every promised blessing swept,
Youths sweetness turned to gall,
Life's fading fowerastrewn all theway
That brought me on 20 woman's day.
Go, see where I have seen!
Behold the strong man bow,
With gnashing teeth, lips bathed in
blood,
And cold and liyid brow;
Go catch the wlthored glance and see,
There mirrored his souls misery.
Go, then, to mothers side,
And her crushed bosom cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide,
Wipe from the cheek the bitter tear;
Mark her worn frame and withered
brow,
The gray that streakB her dark hair
now,
Her failing frame and trembling limb,
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith, in early youth,
Promised eternal love and truth,
But who, forsworn, hath yielded up
That promise to the cursed cup,
And led her down through love and
light,
And all that makes life's prospect
bright,
And chained her there, mid want and
strife
That lowly thing, a drunkard's wife:
And stamped on clildhood's brow, SO
mild,
That withoring blight, a drunkard's
child.
Go hear, and feel, and see and know
All that my soul hath felt ana known;
Then llook upon the wine-cup's glow,
See if its beauty can atone,
Think if It's favor you will try,
When all proclaim, "tis drinkan die!"
Tell me I hate the bowl?
Hate is feeble word,
I loatho, abhor; my very soul
With strong disgust is stirred,
When're l see, or hear, or tel
