The partisan action of the high joints is
much regretted by patriots. Not single
Democrat voted with the majority.
The latest news from Washington is that
"Justice Clifford ate his breakfast heartily,
and is cheerful. A favorable omen for
Tilden."
Men from all parts of the country loyal to
the Union are preparing to pay visit to
this city to witpess the next parade of Mo-
mus. They do not often have chance to
sit on cold curb stone till twelve o'clock
at night waiting to see American institu-
tiOne inBulted.
On Friday morning there was general
cOmmotiOn among bank directors. The
news from the high joints sent down Sc
curities, with which the bulls have stuffed
their vaults full on margins. A serious de-
cline in prices could not fail to bring in it's
train ruin to many, and where the margins
are narrow the banks themselves may have
to stand severe loss. This is the result Of
basiDg financial operations on political par
tisanism.
The Knights of Momus well illustrated
the Democracy. They have built around
themselves q wall of intolerance and self
suficiency which must be torn down before
they can escape from the prison house it
will prove to be.
The Democrats, regulars and assistants,
spplauded the gross trAveSty of the Presi.
dent, his Cabinet and the government gem
orally, as illustrated by the display of the
"MOmus" procession. The officers of the
army and navy universally resent the un-
called for insults put upon their commander
in-Chief. The "Rex" display Of Tuesday
next will suffer materially in consequence.
When we introduce partisan malevolence
in our mHmmeries, we intimate to the Re-
publicans of other States that we do not
expect their business to be sent to New Or
leans.

All they had to do was to ''bull State con-
sols"-so said the Democrats reliable
Buell-for week or two, and being ''shOrt''
and compelled TO buy they would be bust

The unmitigated malevOlence of the Mo-
mus parade was gratefully relieved by its
Obscurity and cheap designs As a success
it was complete failure, but as failure it
was q complete success.
That during our political campaigns "at
least One-half the population carefully
guard and control their passions and post
pone their anger" is an admission from the
official organ of General Nichols by no
means Creditable, even if it were borne out
by the facts.
Since it is becoming plain that Judge
Bradley declines to join the Democratic
members of the Electoral Commission in
OverturniDg the Republican triumph in
Louisiana, the cheerful threats to rid ''this
people" of the Packard government by as
sassinatiOn are being resumed.
An official count of the vote of Tennessee
gives the following result: Porter lre-elect.

The car companies, the gas companies,
the cab drivers, doctors, druggists and
saloon keepers saw nothing wrong in the
antics of Momus. Prospective profits
sOftened the view.
In the Rhode Island House of Repre-
sentatives last Tuesday resolutions were in
tr0duced and ordered printed protesting
that the reCsnt arrest and imprisonment
of the members of the Louisiana Returning
Board, by authority of the national House
of Representatives, was gross violation Of
the reserved rights of States.
OF the attempt made in the Republican
parish of NatchitoOhes to force the officials
to take commissions from Mr.. Nichols, the
| Republican of the third says:
Consistency is q Jewel. Last Monday 4
committee waited on several prominent
elected Republican officials and notified
them that their commissions from NichOlll
could be found in the clerks office. On re-
| pairing there and asking for them, they
were told they could have them if they
would qualify under them. All we desirt
to ask is, did General Nichols or hii
| claimed Secretary Of State send such in
structiOns with these commissionsl Wer,
they sent to the persons to whom they
were addressed in good faith, or were thel
sent to make fools Of sensible men Eithei
! they belong to the persons to whom thel
are addressed, or else they are no 0ne'
property, and consequently just 80 mucl
waste paper. No private person, under in
t strnctions, has any right 70 withhold an AZ
, I serted official document from recOQnize
officer. Is this General Nicholls' method .
: commissioning Republican officials deolare
elected and recognized as such by bot
I parties If 30, let it be known, and an en-
Is pat to any public confidence in Generu
, Nich0llG' Outspoken expressions Of fairness
) integrity and uprightneas.
4 1t is proposed by the doctors, druggist
and the gas company to present the mai
!. ayers of Momus with suitable testimonin
. The three houra' waiting the other nigl
I greatly increased the business Of ell the,
grateful fellows.
