To SAVE SAREs.-The Detroit (Mich.1
"Free Press" (Dem.) says that robber.
les Of county treasures have become
so numerous in Ohio that citizens feel
like paying their taxes direct TO the
robbers and thus saving damage 10
safes.
A SETTLED FACT.-That tho Senate
must be Democratic soon has been &
settled fact for some weeks, aud 1t is
better for the Republicans thAtit should
be so, rather than that they shold have
4 nominal control through the Vice
President .-LIudiauapoli News, Ind.
Rep.
GETTING UNEAsY.-It is rumured
among theLouisiana men at Washing
ton that the lost books Of the Audi.
tors Off: in ]. ,uisiana are in New
York, and that the persons mainly
instrumental in taking them away
from New Orleans are getting uneasy
and would like to make terms with
the State authorities.
WILL De GLAD TO HAVE A NEW MAN.
1T Ia said that Senator Sharon has de.
clAred his intention to resign, but not
before the Nevada Legislature shall
have met to elect his successor. As
The Legislature is Republican, MIR.
Sharon's party will, no doubt, be glad
TO have a new man who will attend 10
the duties Of Senator, and not prefer
his own private Observation-Disclosures
Record.
HoSEsTY A CRIME.-Republican dc.
n%unciation Of Patterson and Conover
comes a little late. No matter what
their motive in voting TO admit the hon.
eslly aud legally.Glecled Senator from
South Carolina, il ia the most meri-
l%orious act Of their Senatorial careers.
Their rascalily never troubled the Re-.
%publicans, but a faint evidence Of re-
turning honesty Is aggravated into a

Is A NEGATIVE STATE.-The polili-
cal checks and balances in both branch
eS Of Congress are o so evenly adj.
justed as TO insure the consideration Of
each public measure on lie merits, as
members understand them. No longer
can the majority ride rough.shod over
the minority. as a few years ago, when
the rule of the caucus was absolute,
aud The party drill.masters drove men
like mules. = Memphis Avalanche,
(Dem..Rep.)
a DEATH.BED REPESTANcE.-It
might look like a death. bed repentance
il Republican Senators should now,
for the first time, decide The question Of
a contested scat solely upon an honest
investigation Of the law and the facts
OF the case, but II Is not ton soon for
one party or the other TO try this novel
experiment, and perhaps the Democrats
are not now in a sufficiently chastcnGd
frame Of mind TO warrant any hope Of
such a moral reviving in their ranks
N. Y. Tribune. Ind.
A REPUBLICAN HowL.-The Demo-
Gratis have got tho ascendency in the
Senate. And by what means? Pal
pably by the purchase of these two
persons, n OF whom they have &c.
cused as a felou, and have tried to Dust
from his seat as a felon, and whose
felony, 1t is believed, they have agreed
to compound for this act of of treach-
cry. BY such fitting mean does the
Democratic party return to the control
of the Senate after its vacation of six
teen years. Surely it comes back with
its old colors aud the ancient odOr.-
