THE Dubuque Herald thus regret
fully surveys the field of the late po-
litical campaign:
The Democrats have made two
egregious political mistakes, the past
year, one the admission of Colorado,
which never should have been done,
as it has not sufficient population.
Without her vote Tilden would have
been elected, even counting all three
of the disputed States tor Hayes.
The second mistake was the selec-
ton of Judge Davis as Senator, and
thus preventing his going on the
Commission. These two errors are
probably fatal. flour foresight were
equal to our hindsight, we would all
be wise men.
The Herald fails to mention the
principal mistake of its party, which
was the selection of the most unscru-
pulous, and consclenceless dcma-
gogue and trickster in the land as its
candidate, and the attempt to impose
the fraud upon the country by hypo-
critically proclaimlng HIM the repre-
sentative and embodiment Of "reform"
in one section, and by the murder
and intimidation of defenseless vo-
tiers in the other. The success of q
scheme SO repugnant to good govern
ment and candidate with a record
and characteristics so distastefal to
honest men was never probable.

ASSASSINATION.

The dispatches in to-day's dailies
give the particulars of dastardly
attempt to assasslnate Gov. Pack
ard of Louisiana, at New Orleans,
yesterday. The Governor was sit
ting in his Office with number of
callers, when young man approach
ed him, and drawing pistol, level
ed it at his head. At the moment
of the explosion, the Governor struck
down the mans hand, and the bull
let struck him on the knee. Gov.
Packard then floored the assassin
by blow from his fist, but he re-
covered his feet and made off Sew
eral pistol shots were fred at him as
he retreated, one striking him on the
arm. When arrested, he gave his
name as VIM. Henry Weldon, and
his home, Philadelphia. He SAID
that four others were concerned
with him in the plot to kill Cover
nor Packard, all of whom deserted
him at the last moment. There is
no doubt that party malignity was
the impelling motive of this crime
it is in direct consonance with Dem
ocratic teaching in the South.

no means settled yet. The Republi-
cans have gained point in the de-
cision about the Florida case, but
Louisiana and Oregon are still to be
passed upon. Il is not impossible
that the ruling may be against the
Republicans in one Of these two
cases; this would give the verdict to
the Democrats. But if, in the mean
time, the Democrats shall have set
the precedent for denouncing the
Commission and declared that they
are not bound by its conclusions,
how can they reasonably hold the
Republicans to it? 1t is poor rule
that does not work both ways, and
and absurd contract that is binding
on only one party. Those Demo
Gratis, then, who now seek to repudi-
ate the verdict before they know
what it is, are merely giving the ex-
IRENE faction of the Republican par
ty warrant for doing the same
thing in the event the decision shall
go against Hayes.
We are averse to the belief that
these extremists represent the fair av
erage sentiment OF their party. The
great value of the arbitration scheme
was the assurance its adoption gave
the country that, whatever the result
may be, it will be accepted in good
faith by the American people. We
believe the masses intend to abide
by it in the spirit in which it was
adopted and approved. TO the ex.
tent that either party seeks to resist
it, to that extent will that party for
felt the confidence of the people and
court defeat at the next election.
The issue has passed out Of the con.
troll of the office-holders and the Of
tice-seekers, and those who shall
howl for "wah" will howl in vain.-

Will the Democrats Resist.

We do not know how closely the
Democrats OF Chicago resemble the
Democrats throughout the country,
but we presume that the average
Democrat is pretty much the same
everywhere. If we are right in this.
then we cannot but regard it as dan
gerous, at this stage of the proceed
ings in the Presidential Commission,
that the local managers of the Dem
ocratic party should begin to agitate
resistance to the verdict in case it
shall prove to be against them. At
their meeting Saturday a resolution
was introduced denouncing the Com
mission as partisan, and advising the
Democratic Senators and Represcn-
tatives to withdraw from it.. 1t is on
ly fair to say that the resolution was
tabled, but not until after a large
number of those present had heartily
endorsed it,-one Hooten again re
viving the swan" talk in the most
violent manner. The inference is in
evitable, therefore, that a large pro-
portion of the Democrats. shifting de-
feat ahead, are in favor of organizing
resistance to any conclusion that
shall not award the Presidency to
Tilden and the offices to his retain
ers.
In one respect this disposition
among the Democrats is infamous;
in another, short-sighted and fool
hardy. 1t is infamous that a solemn
contract, Endorsed by the great ma
jority of the representatives Of both
parties i'll Congress, and equally
binding upon both, should be repu-
dated by one faction at the first sign
tnat it may result to their dlsadvan-
tage. 1t is plain that either Mr.. Til
den or Mr.. Hayes must suffer defeat,
and an agreement to arbifrate was
an agreement to ABIDE by the result.
If Mr.. Hayes is awarded the Presi-
dency, it will be because majority
of the Commission believe him enti-
tied to it under the law, and the
Democrats are bound in all honor
and good faith to accept the verdict
peaceably. 1t is outrageous, then,
before the votes of half a dozen
States have been counted, to de-
nounce the tribunal as partisan and
unfair, and call upon the Democrotic
party to break the compact into
which it entered along with Its OPP
ponents in order to assure peace and
quiet to the country. But there is
another consideration which the
Democrats ignore. The issue is by

PuRMAN, a carpet-bag Congress
man, from Florida, heretofore class
ed as Republican, created sensa-
ton in the House on Tuesday, and
tickled the Democracy by declaring
in set speech prepared for the &C.
casion, that the Democrats had car
risd Florida and the Tilden electors
were elected. Purman has not the
very best character or reputation.
His name is disagreeably mixed up
with charges of selling cadetships,
obtaining loans from the Freedmen's
Bank on the security OF worthless
stocks and bonds, and other practices
peculiar to the INSCRIPTIONS. carpet
baggers. He was a candidate for
reelection to Congress, at the last
election, was defeated and counted
ont by the same Canvassing board
which he now denounces so vehement
ly. He proposes to contest the seat
with his opponent, and hopes probab-
ly,that by speaking for Tilden he may
have the present Democratic Clerk
of the House place his name upon
the rolls. Purman's zeal for Tilden
is contemporary with his reputation
by the Republicans Of his own dis
trict.

The Cedar Rapids Times is still
feeling very uncomfortable over the
arbitration plan, and the majority
vote OF the Iowa Congressional dele
cation in its favor. Referring to
this action, it asks: "Does it mean
that our National Legislators are the
possessors of all the political and le-
gal wisdom of the State?" The Du-
buque Times, without special refer
ence to the conundrum of its Cedar
Rapids namesake, answers it as fol-
lows as it not bold presumption to
arrogate to ourselves wisdom and ju-
dicial impartiality superior to this
great Commission"
1t is quite likely that the Senators
and Representatives from Iowa who
voted for the Compromise bill, 20
called, were fully as competent to
Judge of its wisdom, necessity and
constitutionality as country or city
editors at home, who, until the pro-
mitigation of the plan, had scarcely
given it an hours study. As things
look at this moment, our representa-
tives in Congress will not probably
be under the necessity of explaining
or defending their course in the mat
ter, either now or in the future. If,
however, this should become neces-
sary, the frank expression of Senator
Allison's views in another column,
would seem to indicate that the task
would not be difficult one. There
has been a good deal of loose criti-
cism, bordering on denunciation, of
our delegation in Congress by the
Republican press of the State, that
was neither just or seemly.
