The stupidity Of the average Re
publican voter in blindly submit
ting to become the tools and slaves
Of ring masters, voluntary beasts Of
burden to be driven, rode and work
ed for the benefit of others far less
worthy than themselves, is simply
marvellous. It was not so strange
perhaps that they should have been
deceived in the first place and led on
in the road to their own destruction
while the results were a matter OF
opinion oaly, but this blind adhcr'
ence to the wrong in spite Of cxpe-
rience, this shutting Of the eyes to
the facts Of history and the teach
ings of common sense while under
going the penalties of wrong doing,
indicates a degree of debascment
that is disgusting. They have been
slaves to party and the obedient SER
wants of political robbcr chieftains
until all are impoverished, hundreds
of thousands out of employment,
many in bankruptcy, some in the
poor-house and others driven to a
life of tramping and bcggary, and
yet they are as ready to throw up
their ragged caps and "rah" for the
"party of great moral ideas, as ever

The masses of the Republican party
seem incapable of learning even in

to vote for such candidates as may be
presented to them through the eau

support party measures whatever
they may be and without regard to

there should be some division or

To manage the Government and
the affairs of the country without the
interference ofCongress, would doubt
less be acceptable business for Hayes
and his Cabinet. Give them full
swing, and they would show how the
thing could be done, at least as long
as their bills were paid. Congress,
and especially the House of Repre-
sentatives, is an annoyance to them.
So keenly is Hayes aware of ITS med
ding propensity that he refrained
fromconveningit this month, though
there are duties for it to perform that
cannot be postponed without the VIC
lation Of law.
Hayes's attempt to manage the
Government in his bungling way,
and to undertake business on his own
account which Congress alone can
authorize, and of which it alone can
direct the execution, is evidently to
be carried as far as possible. He is
already keeping up the army and the
whole military establishment, with,
out the appropriation therefor hay,
ing been made at the last session.
He has empowered Gen. Ord to cross
the Rio Grando, invade Mexico, and
thus commit an open act ofwar, with
out the authority of Congress. He
has done many other things of lesser
consequence, that, in like manner,
involve a usurpation of power and a
contempt for the limitations that are
posed by the Constitution, upon
which he himself is a fraud,

the lady chung to him. On being in

in the water, which was at least twenty
feet deep, until Jones got out, when he,
assisted by others, succeeded in landing

involuntary bath beyond a few slight

more completely done. One of the ends
of all this costly machinery is the pro-
lection of society from crime, and yet we
have a class of men, under the wing of
the court, liable to the discipline of the
bar, whose chief business is to thwart
the ends of the court Of justice, and to
defeat the attempt of society to protect
itself from crime-and then make the
community pay them for such very
questionable services rendered. Is it
right that this practice should be con-
tinued?
