NOT GUILTY..

Our contemporary, the Houston
County Review, takes us to task for
some remarks we made in an article
entitled "gush," which we put forth
two weeks ago, and another of last
week to the same effect. He accuses
us Of desiring to read him out of the
Democratic party, which is the fur
theSt possible from our desire; we
desire to keep all in it who are there
and to bring more there. But we
have not much time for this subject,
so many others of greater impOr-
lance pressing upon us. We will
therefore answer the two questions
he puts to us very briefly and then
put one to him. He asks us "DOes
the CHRONICLEapproVeOf President
Hayes Southern policy or disap-
prove of it?" We approve Of it.
"And if so can there be any harm in
saying sO?' None whatever; we
have said so dozen,times ourselves.
We have attacked nobody for the
course they took during the Presi-
dents visit to Nashville; we simply
gave our reasons for pursuing diff
ferent one.
And now, having answered both
the questions of the Review, can we
be allowed to ask another? What
on earth does he mean by the fol-
lowing passage?
II is welIenough for him to bear in mind
that when such men as James ID. Porter ana
John +. House eSpouSed the cause OF Jn9
people and Joined the Democracy, they dld
not understand themselves delivered over,
body and soul, to the Bourbon faction.
Who is a Bourbon Who has
been trying to bind over Gov. Porter
and Col. House to anything? And
what have they to do with the ques-
ton anyhow? When the President
was in Nashville the Governor OF
the State did exactly what public et-
iquette called upon him to do when /
a gentleman in the highest official .
station visited the Capitol. As for
Col. House, he was not there and did |
not go there. We have always been !
in perfect accord with our represen-
tative's public course and an honest /
admirer of his private character, and /
have long ceased to make any dis
tinctiOn between old line Wings and /
old line Democrats, and if the Re- /
view desires to revive those distinc-

travelling to and from between the National
Capitals, in consulting with other Cover
nors, in providing sanitary stores and hos
pital care, in combating disaffeetion, in re-
pressing desertion, in aniHiating efforts for
the care of soldiers families, in selecting
Officers, OF whom he commissioned no less
than eighteen thousand eight hundred and
eighty -four during the war; in protecting
the border, in repelling raids, in raising
money for both civil and military service
when left without appropriations, beside
conducting all the duties of the civil adj
mintstration, and for two years against the
embarrassments of an adverse Legislature,
made his life during these four years one of
incessant activity requiring a degree of
physical strength as well as mental force and
persistence rarely found combined.
Had he only died at the close of
the war, his record would have Sc
cured for him universal recognition
throughout the North as one who
done more than any other to cause
Victory to alight on the standards
of the Union army. But the war
and the Union restored, he looked
around for means to maintain his
party in that ascendency which it
had held during the four years of
civil war, and unhappiiy he saw
in the growing spirit of reconcilia-
alton peril threatening its supre-
macy. He at once rushed to the
conclusion that it must be maintain
ed in power by keeping alive the
passions of the war, and whenever
he saw them RENTING in their in.
tensity he made it his business to
lash them to renewed fury until, in
the absence of the cause which first
provoked them, the very intensity
of sectional rage produced its final
exhaustion. This state of things

through the unhappy details of his
political career since the war; i

a NEW NASHVILLE PAPER.

The Evening Record is the title of
a new paper which we are glad to
welcome to our desk, and to which
we freely tender the courtesies of the
press. We give here its platform,
so far as there is anything peculiar
in it:
Greenbacks to be made legal tender for all
debts, both private and public, including
debt.
Coinage of all gold and silver offered at the
mlntS OF the peOple-even ii ii be in spoons,
forks or battered teapots-free from seign-
forage, save the trivial and actual expense
OF the operation.
The decentralization of the silver dollar pre-
cisely as it was before 1873.
A reimbursement of the state debt upon
basis of the enforced decline in public and
private property upon which they are pre-
Dictated.
The other clauses aresuch as might
be introduced into any platform,
and we infer that these are the main
topics it proposes to urge before the
people in other words, it is what it
is now the practice to call a green
back newspaper. We very much
doubt the expediency of starting a
political paper upon one idea in this
manner. Weare in accord with our
new contemporary in denouncing
the process, now rapidly going on,
of substituting an increased national
lnT NJ
greenbackS. We are also in favor of
the reconciliation of silver, but we
believe that there are other reforms
as much needed as these, which we
do not like to see kept out of sight
by others not more impOrtant-the
tariff, for instance; and we see in a
paper quoted from the New York
Mercantile Journal with apprOba-
ton that the true greenbacker never
assents to the discussion of the tariff
or any other similar issue as having
any specially important connection
with the question. We ourselves
believe it to have an 0U-impOrtant
connection with it; consequently,
according to the standard of the
Evening Record, we are not true
greenbacker.
There is one clause which the
Record has inserted in its platform
not given above, to which we should
like to make Il little addition. 1t
claims "the right to do business of
any character that receives the sane
ton of the law unmOlested and I'M
with by officers Of the
Government" We should like to
add to this, "unmolested and unin-
terfered with by armed mobs."
Could our new friend oblige us ?
However that may be, we expect to
be a regular reader Of the Evening
Record.

His services in the war gave him Nation

classified as military and civic. First, his

IN CONGRESS-.

a very unexpected change in the
Congressional programme occurred
on Monday. Mr.. Bland succeeded
in getting his silver bill before the
House in a form to be voted on, and
in getting it passed by a majority
that must astOnish everybody. In
one way or other the opponents
of the bill have been skirmishing
from the commencement of the
called session to prevent its coming
to a vote. In quite the early part
of the afternoon an hour is allowed
in the House for the entering ofnew
bills and getting them filed On-the
House records. \ little before the
half hour between one and two
O'Clock Mr.. Bland arose and claim
ed that the appropriated hour was
out, and he had the floor. At first
the Speaker objected, but Bland
spoke by the clock and Randall was
convinced; he pronounced that
Bland had the floor. That gentle
man moved a resolution to suspend
the silver bill which had been in
trOduced by him last session and
which passed the House then, but
never got beyond that stage in its
progress towards becoming the law
of the land on account of the session
of Congress ending.
This action of BANDS astOnished
the House; it takes twO-thirds vote
to suspend the rules, and it was not
supposed that he had confidence
enough in the numbers he could
command to risk losing his bill al
together by failure to get the neces-
sary twO-thirds. Bland had better
calculated his strength. Some feeble
attempts at filibustering were inter-
posed. Thus, Mr.. Eames, of Rhode
Island, called on Mr.. Bland to eX-
plain the principle Of the bill. Now,
the bill had been debated through a
large portion Of last session, and
every one in the House then and
every newspaper in the land since
had discussed it threadbare. Mr.. KEEL
ley, of Pennsylvania, saw the pur-
pose and made the point of order
that, by the rules of the House, no
debate could take place on a motion
to suspend the rules, Mr.. Harden
burg, of New jersey, then tried his
hand at delay by moving an adj
jOurnment; if he could call the yeas
and nays on this motion, some de
lay might be thereby interpOsed, but
he could not get votes enough to en-
able him to make the call and the
motion was negatived without
division. The motion was then put
that the bill do now pass and, to the
establishment OF all, it was carried
by overwhelming majority.

So far it has been the privilege of

prefer to see something a little more
reciprocal; at present the reciprocity
is all on one side.

THE LEAF AND THE TRAMP
QUESTION.

The Leaf has not done with the
tramp question we have. The
Leaf defies us to deny that his law is
correct we never disputed it. The
Leaf informs us that the County
Court cannot make new laws; we
supposed not, but thank the Leaf for
the information. What the County
Court can do is to supply additional
means for enforcing the laws already
existing, and that is what we hope
it will do.

S %
Thus was reversed so far as de-
ponds upon the action of the House
the great wrong of 1873.
At that time the demOnetization
of the silver dollar was accomplish
ed by one of the darkest frauds ever
attempted under parliamentary
rules. y bill of mere technicaIities,
relating to the routine business of
the mint, had been passed in the
House. On its going to the Sen
ate some aVOWedly unimpOrtant
amendments were made in it; but
these amendments were made in a
cOnfabulatiOn between some Radi-
cal Senators and some strong lobby
members, among them some Eng
lish bankers and holders of Ameri-
can bonds. 1t was returned to the
House with these amendments, and
brought up under a motion to sus-
pend the rules. The amendments
were not printed and probably not
half Il dozen members had ever seen
them. The amended bill was then
called up and the previous question
moved, which cut off all debate.
Mr.. Holman, who had an instinc-
tive suspicion of everything which
the Radical party did, demanded
that the amendments should be
read; but the mover assured mem
bers that there was nothing in them
but matters of form and the inexor-
able two-thirds declared that it did
not matter, and the bill was passed.
Thus was this stupendOus fraud
perpetrated on the American peo-
pie by a bill in Congress of which
the people knew nothing, nine
tenth of Congress knew nothing
nobody knew anything except half
Il dozen Republican Senators, and
perhaps as many members of the
lobby, most of them interested in
the matter a. creditors Ofthe United
States.
Whether the bill will yet become
law remains to beseen. Mr.. Jones,
of Nevada, who, though a Repub-
lican, is an eager silver man, is con-
fident that he can get it through the
Senate, but some think the Presi-
dent will veto it, and then it will |

PENNSYLVANIA.

The average majority for the State
ticket is about 10000 for the Demo-
cratic party. Philadelphia gave
5000 Republican majority for the
State ticket, but 10000 Democratic
majority for the local candidates;
this was WEAKNESS of the stealage
Of the Radical rings. Sterrett, the
Republican candidate for Supreme
Judge, has beaten Turnkey, his
Democratic opponent; thus forming
an exception to the Democratic sue
cess on the State ticket.
NEW JERSEY
elects Mcclellan, by yer II, 900 ma
jority and gives a Democratic ma
jOrity in both Houses of the State
Legislature.
MASSACHUSETTS
goes Republican, but with dimin-
ished majOrities.
Democratic, with increased MAORI
ties.
MISSISSIPPI,
as before, largely Democratic.
KANSAS, NEBRASKA, MINNESOTA,
all Republican.
No State, therefore, changes its
politics as expressed in the Presiden-
tial election except Pennsylvania,
and in this the Democratic victory,
though by a small majority, is
great triumph in view of the large
Republican majorities given in this
State ever since the war. Republi-
can majorities are everywhere
diminished.
Postscript latest accounts
report positively that Judge Trun-
key, Democrat is elected Supreme
Court Judge, though he falls behind
his ticket.

TIE ELECTIONS THTs WEEK.


Elections have been held this week
in New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland,
Mississippi, Kansas, Nebraska and
Minnesota. A little may be said
about the result in each, though in
none are the returns sufficiently
complete for exact statements.
NEW YORK.
The Democratic party Jared as
well as it deserved, and that was
not very well. They get majority
of from $4,000 to $4,000 on the State
ticket, but fail to get a majority in
either House of the State Legisla-
ture. There is no doubt that there
is very large Democratic majority
in the State, but the party was much
more intent upon the struggles of
Tammany and anti-Tammany for
the offices than the contest with the
Republican party, and the ignomin-
ious result is due to the discord and
corruption within the party rather
than to political causes. Successful
gerrymandering by the Republican
party, however, which has long had
a majority in the Legislature has
bad a strong influence.
