UJSTORYD AND IGHTNiNG."

Mankind has accepted these two things as
general rules That history does not repeat
Itself" and lightning does not strike twice
"In place" OF course there are exceptions,
and they may be taken as proving the rules.
They certainly do not prevent a general accep-
tation of the truth of the proverbs. 1t begins
to look a little as though we were about to
witness something like an exception in the
present course of political events. History may
not be about to repeat itself in terms, and
lightning may not be on the point OF striking
in the same place that it did sixteen years
ago, but we submit that the record of current
events is amazingly like what the newspapers
were publishing in the Winter of 1901, and
that the lightning is playing very ftfully
if not lumnously around the same old
political party that was shvered all to
pieces by it about the same time.
There was great deal of energetic
talk about that time, as many of our readers
will remember, concerning the Constitution,
and the rights guaranteed by it to anybody
who desired TO destroy it, and many distin-
guished persons made eloquent addresses to
their fellow citizens in which they trilled the
RS i'm "The G-r-r-reat Democratic Parity ]"
in way that fairly curdled the blood OF the
nearer, and there were demonstrations Of va
rious sorts in various places at which fluent
orators gave the world to understand that the
Democratic party was bound to have its own
way whether 1t was in the majority or minor
ity. There was good deal OF such loose and
promiscuous oratory INDUCED in by Northern
Democrats, as the same sort Of people seem,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-01-11
MR.. VBRIEN OBJECTS.

There was certainly no harm in the little
resolution offered by Mr.. White of Kentucky
in the House of Representatives on Tuesday
last. The gentleman merely wanted the House
formally to declare that any attempt to preJu-
dice and excite the public mind on the Pres-
Dental question in advance of decision by
the authority which the Constitution provides
is "unwse, unpatriOtic. and full of danger"
And so it is Mr. White likewise wished the
House to resolve that it is the duty of all
good citizens peacefully and faithfully to
abide by the results reached in accordance
with the Constitution. To the introduction OF
these wholesome and scasOnable resolutions
Mr.. O'Bren objected. We are therefore led to
believe that in his opinion 1t Is wise, patriotic,
and safe to prejudice and excite the pubic
mind in advance as aforesaid, and that 1t
would not he the duty of all good citizens to
acauesce in legal and constitutional result.
If this were Mr.. O'Brien's private, exclusive,
and personal opinion, we might chartably set
it down to that love of fight which. both
here and in the Emerald Isle, seems to be
congenital not only with the OBriens, but
with the O'Shaughnesseys and all the other
Os. Unfortunately, there is reason to believe
that the honorable gentleman. in Directing to
such resolutions, expressed the sentiments OF
at least portion of his party. Now, If the
Democrats who do not think that Mr.. Tilden
will have right to take possession OF the
Government al ct arms on the 4th of March
next will be good enough publicly to an
nounce their opinion, we shall then know
little better at least how many insurrectionary
firebrands and desperate adventures there
tln ynttn
There may be nothing Importantly serious
about what Mr.. O'Brien may or may not do I;
but when Democrats, so many of them, are
talking belligcrenty, and when Democratic
editors, so many of them, are writing mar
TALLY, and when Eighth of January meetings,
so many of Them are resolving so combat
lively, we want very much to know why some
Democrat of brains, of honor, of patriotism,
and of prudence does not utter protest pub
lcly against the folly of his weaker or less
scrupulous associates. Where is Charles Fran
els Adams, latest born in the faith, yet man
of long party experience, and one who would
be listened to I If Gov. Tilden, on account of
the delicacy of his situation, cannot speak,
why, we beg permission to ask does he not
request his friend Mr.. Adams to speak for
hmf Certainly between them both they
| might prevent Mr.. O'Brien from again object
| ing should anybody offer another pacific reso-
| luton in the House of Representatives.

TILE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES.

The lobby will look with dismay upon the
list of Speaker SlOan's committees. There mas
been no cleaner list in Albany for many q
vear-no list for years back that the trall or
the striker did not cross. Gen. Hustled gets
the place to which parliamentary courtesy en-
titled him. and which Mr.. Alvord doubt
less tried hard to buy with votes. Sew
eral chairmanships are continued from the
last Assembly, but where there has seemed
to be good reason for change, MIR. Sloan mas
not lacked the courage to make it nor the dis
erection to make it to good advantage. Judge
HogebOom, Mr.. Fish, and Mr.. Strahan are
kent in the places in which they ara
good service last year, and the makeup or all
of these committees, including the Ways ana
Means is in the interest of clean and honest
legislation. The Committees on General Laws,
Cities and Judiciary were, however, sure 10
be sound from the start. 1t was about another
three that greater interest has been eXclted-
Railroads, Insurance, aud Commerce and Nav
igation. These have been in times past the
spots where the strikers have swarmed. This
wear, if they swarm at all, it must be on the
outside. If sound Legislative record Is any
guarantee each of these committees Is now
headed by man of sterling integrity. MIR.
Gilbert of Franklin, Mr.. Graham Of Orange,
and Mr. Webb of Duchess are men whose
characters have been and are likely to be
beyond question. Of the men who stand be-
hind them in their respective committees we
do not know so much, but we feel assured
that Mr.. Sloan has chosen them with con-
scentious care. Mr.. Bakers appointment az
chairman of the Committee on Canals may
excite some criticism, but his friends are so
earnest in the belief that in the past he has
been unjustly treated, that no one will deny
him the opportunity to prove his title to
better reputation.
We congratulate the Speaker on his skillful
and honorable discharge of a perpexing duty.
He has fulfilled at the start all the promises
The TRIBUNE ever made for him. The new
departure in NewYork Republicanism begins
well.

LIGHT HRE1hING IN.


The Democrats begin to see the point. For
warning them that their best, and indeed their
only chance of success in the Presidential dis
pute, was in an appeal to the more candid and
independent members of the Senate. We
noipted out that, however men might dispute
about unsettled questions as to the proper
mode of counting tho votes, one thing was GER
tain. that nobody could be President of the
United States, even to the extent OF forming
cabinet or appointing postmaster, who was not
recognized by the Senate IA President. This
important and significant feature of the Con-
stitution the incorporate Democrats tried to
ignore but in every speculation and at every
step of every plan it was forced upon their
attention. Again, we pointed out that, if
the House should insist upon the extreme
Democratic claim that either house could
exclude an electoral vote. it would fol-
low that the Senate might also exclude
or, il it pleased, debate without excluding
until after March 4. In the end, whatever
theory he adopted, the President OF the
Senate would then be called upon, at least
temporarily, TO fill the Executive station.
For a long time the Democrats were deaf to
all reason. They talked wildly of their rights
and of blood, and "wah " and "gOah," and
made themselves slightly offensive and alto
gcther ridiculous. Even to the worst OF
them, sober second thought may come, it
seems. For they now begin calmly to
discuss whether nine Senators can be found
who will vote to throw out the vote Of Lou

of preparation for the Permanent Exhibition,
and what is vet to be done. This will be OF
such magnitude, if it should prove successful,
as to dwarf all previous attempts at contnu-
GUS fairs, and give Philadelphia nearly the
same prominence as did the larger exhibition
of which this seems to be the legitimate heir.
While the success of the project is by no means
assured it is to have long and fair trial be-
fore being abandoned.
