The long agony is over in the U. S.
Senate and kellogg and Butler have
both been admitted to seats and sworn
In. Conover and Patterson voted for
both Kellogg and Butler and thus de-
Gded the question. Senator David
Davis, of Ill, "dodged" in Buffers
case, and did not vote. IF he had vot'
ed No, the vote would have been tie
and Butler could not have gained ad-
mission. Much surprise is felt that
Davis should have connived at Butler 8
being seated in this way. He was
elected as an Independent, and claims
to belong to neither political party, but
It is evident he is soon going to unmask

tested seats and voted steadily with
them except as stated above when be

to vote Aye, if it had been necessary
for him to do so. The admission of
Butler is a great outrage, but probably
If the Democratic party can stand it the
Republicans can. AS the hero of the
Hamburger massacre, be is more deserv

brutal record as citizen of South Ca
rolina, he was never legally elected.
He was chosen by trump" legislature
which had no lawful existence. There
was not constitutional quorum Of the

A Democratic Plot.

There are rumors at Washin gton
that Tilden and his managers are dis
posed to try and unseat President
Hayes. Their programme is to get a
majority in the .. S. Senate, the
House of Representatives already being
Democratic, and then they affect to see
no hindrance to the fulfillment of their
little scheme. It will be remembered
that Tilden took the oath Of Office on
the 4th of March last. Having done
this, be thinks that he could set him
self up in business if he only had a
Senate to confirm his Cabinet appoint
nents, aud put the wheels of his ad-
miBistratlon in motion. But here is
where the old gentleman would find
himself baf1ed. Notwithstanding the
Democrats may have control of the
Senate, which by the way they have
not yet secured, majority of them
will be found opposed to any such re-
evolutionary proceeding as this perform
ance of Tilden's would be. No occu.
pant of the Presidential chair was ever
asst gned it under stronger color of law
than Hayes, and Tilden may as we'll
abandon all hopes of supplanting him.
However much Tilden may personally
desire to attain the presidency, he will
find that the people are not disposed to
place him there in defiance of law or
by revolutionary means.

Was 1t a Republican Triumph?

We alluded last week to the appoint
ment of G.. W. Griffith as Superintend-
ent Of the Poor, by the Board of Su
pervisors of this county, as a Union
League triumph. The Democrat
falsely asserts to the contrary and says
that it was Republican victory.
Nothing can be further from the truth
Mr.. Griffith formerly voted the Repub-
lican ticket, but has not done so for
years. The Democrat knows, or ought
to know at least, that a Democratic
Board of Supervisors would not have
elected Mr.. Griffith to this position if
he had not been sound politically.
The Board may not have understood
that it was comforting its honors upon
a member of the Union League, but
the fact certainly was known to Mr..
Mulberger an! other Supervisors
from this city, who supported him, and
to Under Sheriff Giles and others who
contributed their influence towards his
election. That the Democrat should
seek to have the impression go abroad
that the League has not tailed another
point is natural enough when We re-
member how streneously it has opposed
and denounced that organization. But
the Democrat will find it difficult to
maintain its proposition. However
unpalatable to the Democrat the truth
may be that the League is the Demo-
cratic party and controls its nomina.
tons and appointments, the public we'll
understand that such is the case. The
election of Finn last year. and again
this, to the Legislature, proves wha, is
here stated. Reubhausen's election
last spring as Mayor was League tri-
umph. So was the election of Ga;lae.
her and Volkman as Assessors. to saw
nothing of the numerous minor places
which have been filled in the various
wards by the nomination and election
by Democrats of active and prominent
members of the League. All of the
ABOVE being now supplemented by the
appointment of Griffith, who is Secre.
tary of tie League. and next to Finn
the recognized leader and most inAuen.
tial member of that organization, points
unerringly to the complete absorption
of the Democratic party by the League,
and shows to how little purpose our
nelghbor has labored for months to
prevent his party from being used as
tail to the Union League kite.
