No matter what faults thu New Y o.k Herald
may have, it has means enough 10 afford to be
independent. and is usually pretty fair expo
nent of the feelings of the better class Of north
ern people; and We believe it truthfully reflects
those feelings when it says -
THE American voters see very we'll that the
Republican leaders bar the way to all heslthful
and progressive political action they have been
ready for six years past to give the Democrats
chance; but whom theDemocrsts swing back to o
tramp" platform, put their hsthersktes to the
front and send their men Of brains to the rear,
the voters, who are in the main respectable
property owning citizens. are shy of the Demo-
cratic party"
Experience, if a harsh, is an efficient school
master, and though the democrats have been
hard to teach, they must in the end learn wis
dom enough to refute Gen. Grants assertion
respecting them, which is, that whenever they
are on the point of attaining power they are
sure to commit some folly that effectually
places it beyond their reach. Some say
the fault is not With the rank and file
Of the party, but with the leaders, but this can
not be so, for if the leaders were not fair rep
resentatives Of their followers, the latter would
avail themselves more frequently Of the oppor-
tunities afforded by the elections for changing
them.

As fair sample Of the extreme iitlencss of
which rad:cllism is guilty in its efforts to keep
alive the animosiy between tho two sections
into which it has divided the country, We
mention the fact that some of the newspapers of
the radical party have made the non possession
ola United States flag by the students ola Viz
ginia school who paid their respects to tho
President, last Saturday. tho occasion for bloody
shirt articles, in which it is said that the money
that would have bought fsg has been expend-
ed in tho purchase of books teaching the right
of secession. The worst of this positive evil
denoe of the existence of ill feeling on tho part
of certain men in the North, not merely toward
Individuals, but to the people of the whole
South, for those students represented many
southern States, is that it is not oouined to
those who write the articles alluded TO, but is
also entertained by the readers of the nawspa.
pers in which they appear. fer tho almost daily
repetition of similar articles shows that the edi.
tors arc not only gratifying their own, but the
tastes of their readers, by such attacks upon
their fellow couotrymen of tho South. Will
the cruel var ever be over? If by no other
process the sooner We have Cear tho better.

Congress will assemble two weeks from to

Congress will assemble two weeks from to-
day. Ia an article in tho late number of the
International Review, on the success OF second
and third rate men, the writer says that tho
happy faculty such men have of inducing the
maority of those who know them, not only to
have, but to continue to hold, exalted opinions
of their qualifications, is we'll illustrated by a
cartaio set now 10 Congress- He is urques~
tionably correct, aud though the utter incapacty
of these men is we'll known to the few familiar
with their legislative words and deeds, the
generality Of their constituents can not be ln--
ducad to believe so, and consequently they are
returned year after year, while men OF hne
natural parts, and wao have made the study OF
craftsmanship speciality since their youth, arc
allowed to remain ia private life. There is an
easy way, however, for the incompeents to ir-
duoa the people of the whole country to express,
if they really do pot entertain, the same high
opinion of them that is held by their most do
luded constituents, and that is to make the
reduction they have Instituted in the expenses
of the government apply to their own salaries.
Every oae of them will receive fifty five dollars
and fifty CENTS. besides mileage aud perqusites,
for each day, Sundays included, CT the next
session, and that too, whether he be prcseut
or not; and as the people Of the whole country
are taxed to pay this exorbitant amount they
will BIO obliged to any men who will relieve
them of the burden, aud, in their gratitude, be
willing to accord all who assist 10 stfording
them that relief thu reputation OF first class
statesmen, no matter whether they be entitled
to it or not. When they reoollcct that thous

their brains for twenty dollars week 10 at
tempting to help the country, they should not
ing at least some proportion to that which they
have caused ia the pay of thoss over whom
they havo contro, aud be willing to accept for
their services such compensation as Clay, Cal.
houn, Webster and statesmen of that class we're
glad to get for theirs. and that, too, when the

A Glimpse at Tramp life.

The four men detained at
the statlOn-house on suspicion
of their having been con-
cerned in the murder OF
officer Scott continue to assert their
innocence of the murder, and that
they were not in the northeastern
portion of the city that night. They
appear to be quite frank in their
statements as to where they were
on the night of the murder, and, If
ii were not for the fact that several
citizens identify them as having
been in that portion of the city
which they say they did not visit,
their statements, made separately,
each man being Kept in different
cell, would have much weight.
They give in their statements
an amusing glimpse at tramp
life. One of them-the one whom
citizens have identified as having
worn a long overcoat-declares that
he did not have any such garment,
but would have been very glad to
have possessed one, as the nights
were very cold. His friends, he
says, are very respectable people,
and, if necessary, he can prove his
innocence of the murder by them.
He admits that the name given by
him to the police is not that which
belongs to him. In accounting for
his whereabouts lie states that he
arrived here Saturday evening on
the steamer Centennial from San
Francisco, the steamers arrival
having been delayed long time by
am accident to her machinery. That
night he endeavored to obtain lodg-
ing in a freight car on Sixth street,
and found it occupied by eight or
nine tramps, who received him
quite cordially. They inquired
whether he had any blankets, and
being answered in the negative,
they told him that it was very
cold in there and he would
not be comfortable If, how
ever, he wanted good warm
bed, he should go TO the vicinity of
Ninth and | streets, where he
would find stable, and if he
walked as If it was matter of
course through the stable down

ask him any questions and he
would find plenty of hay to sleep in.
He went as directed, and, finding
everything as stated, had good
sleep. Next day he fell in with the
three men, now his fellow prison
ers, one of whom he was acquainted
with. That night they all slept
in car, with number of other
? irresponsibles. During the even
