If the present bill, which has already

A Carpet-Bag kxOdus,

It's reported that certain Senators
and thirteen Representatives, of the
variety called carpet-baggers, have
signed an agreement to withdraw
from the Republican party. The
news is too good to be true. They
promise to give the Democratic
party control of both houses of Con-
gress, but, if even that advantage
could be gained, it would be pur-
chased too dearly by affiliation with
these persons. The Republican
party has been carrying them long
enough to know what they cost. If
they and their respected leader, Mr..
Butler, wish to do that party the
greatest service in their power, we
trust they will "stand not upon the
order of their going, but go at once"
That they do not mean to do the
Republican party this favor, and
viii not go at all if they can help
it, we are fully convinced.-NelC
