There is villainy afoot. When Con-
gress met the House, by a large ma
jority, was in favor Of at once repeal
ing the resumption act. Now a
change has come over the spirit of
their dream; and it is claimed that
they will not repeal it. The Pioneer
Press says:
There will be variety of opinions
as to the cause for this sudden change
Of heart. Rampant intiationists will
probably ascribe the detection to an
invasion of their ranks by emmissaries
Of the money power. barring snbstan-
tldl arguments; but observers having
faith in the ultimate common sense of
the majority. Will prefer TO believe
that the vigorous arguments heard on
the floor of the house. and the unmis-
taxable drift of the most intelligent
public sentiment in the country have
brought the house into wiser and
more honest frame Of mind. Such
speeches rs Garfield and Chitten-
den ) and such demonstrations of cap
ital as those of the New York and
Boston bankers, are great and swift
public educators.
Does anybody suppose that man
whose constituents are clamorous for
repeal will be converted by few
speeches. which merely re-hash the
worn out and half decayed arguments
which have been served upa thousand
times in the hard-money newspapers
No: it IS the substantial argu-
ments, the Z. p. refers to.
Let it not be forgotten that it was
the aggressions and even victories Of
slavery that led to the overthrow of
slavery. Whom the gods would de-
stroy thew first make mad
If the money-power buys UP and
corrupts Congress there will be an
awakening in the land similar to that

for his reputation if he had been alb.
