The ReyOlutiOnists.

The Reyolutionists in the House have
TINS far been bsff1ed in their plans. Mr..
Potter's resolution has failed to receive a
massage. The united and determined
stand of the republicans against it has
been successful up to the present time.
and unless the Revolutionists can increase
their strength by bringing in recruits
enough TO give them the needed quorum
the fraud" movement will be failure.
Beside blocking the passage of the Pot
ter resolution, the delay and debate upon
il have been productive of excellent re-
.uIts. whether or not it finally passes
as we presume it will pass under the whip
and spur of the democratic leaders-the
DELAY and discussion had have brought the
iniouitous measure fully to the attention
of the country, and allowed fair exam
ina,ion of It's dangerous, revolutionary,
extremely partizan character.
II is now understood that the movement
Is deeper than was at first supposed; that
il has for its object nothing less than to
overthrow the title of President Hayes to
the Office which he holds and to Install Mr..
Tildeu in his stead. 1t seemed impossible
that partizan meanness and greed OF office
could lead even democrats to this length,
bu, the opinion has vastly strengthened
within the last forty-eight hours that the
real purpose OF the consprators is to
overturn the decision of the Electoral
Commission, expel President Hayes from
the seat which he legally holds. and begin
a revolution that may shatter the founda-
tons of the government and end no one
knows how or when.
Such is the situation as it appears at
Washington. Potter's resolve means Rev
oluiiop. 1t is not a resolve for investiga
ton. because it excludes investigation in
every State except Florida aud Louisiana
II jsa measure which restricts investiga-
ton. 1t is as narrow and one-sided as the
measures by which the victims OF the In
QUESTION were dragged to the most hsrri-
bic deaths. The testimony which the in
yestigating committee $50 called) will
have before it. and upon which it will base
it's decisions, will come from men who
have been pronounced rerjured villains
over and over again by the democratic or
gans. And this the public is informed is
the proper manner in which so grave a
question as the validity of the President
title to his office is to be treated.
Let us give support and honor to the
bold and able republican representatives
who have resisted so successfully and
manfully the threatened Revolution. II
the conspirators continue their anarch-
ical work the people will be heard com
manding them to desist. The community
at large, irrespective of party, will set its
face against the monstrous wickedness of
plungng the country into useless, per-
nicious. unfopnded agitation, if nothing
worse, over the result of the last Presi-
dental campaign. Republicans of all
shades OF opinion upon other matters will
unite as one man to resist the threatened
evil There will be no division upon this
question

PARTISAN Investigation.

All the malice, all the cowardice, and
all the shameless partisanship, which the
worst enemy of the democratic party
could wish to see it exhibit. it has dis
played in the matter of the Florida inves-
tigation. As we predicted, it does not
dare to have full investigation, and does
not dare to have an impartial investigs-
ton. With indecent disregard for COM
mon justice and the public interest, it re-
fuses to inquire as TO frauds by democrats
Being without proof of accusations per-
sistenty made, the democratic party pro-
poses to create committee of scaven-
gers, in the name of the Congress OF the
United States. to hunt up scandals that
may damage its opponents, but to refuse
a hearing to proofs that may damage it.

a democratic House being sufficiently I'M

Sinking or opposing investigation, they
have only demanded that it shall be full

THE HdRYEST.

We give to-day additional crop reports
from various parts of the State. It is no.
table that nearly all of the reports from the
portions of the State where damage has been
reported show that that infallible test--the
threshing machine-is proving the injury to
be much less than reported. Where crops
were alleged to be an utter failure the yield
as threshed, proves to be ten and fifteen
bushels to the acre. There is
no doubt that expectations were
raised too high. The belief that we were to
have an immense crop, surprising everything
the world had ever seen, had grown into a
conviction and now they look upon yield
of ten and twelve bushels per acre as almost
an absolute failure. In the Northern and
Western part of the State, traversed by the
st. Paul and Pacific and the Northern Pa
cific respectively, there is no damage what
ever, and from twenty to twenty-five bushels
is being harvested.
We become moro confirmed with each
days improved reports that in quantity the
Minnesota crop of 1873 will equal that of
1877. The increased acreage, the splendid
northern crop and the excess over the sup
posed yield in the damaged districts, all tends
to the belief that in bushels Minnesota will
keep up to last years product.

the Democratic party entirely. Once they
are given to understand that the Democratic
government means the driving out of thieves
from places of honor and trust; that it means
economy in the administration of the affairs
of the country; that expenses must be re
duced and thieves punished; that it means
perfect freedom to vote as one chooses and
an honest count of the votes cast; that pecu-
lation. bribery, perjury and military interfer-
ence will be promptly checked, and honesty
and simplicity restored, then will the
Republicans, instead of stealing a
part of our thunder, steal the whole of it.
or come over bodily and assist in making
the victory of the party of reform complete
and lasting. But until this result can be
brought about we will be only too glad to
furnish the Republican party with princi-
pies of real value to the country, trusting
that if we cannot wholly convert them to
our platform, we can at least induce them to
adopt few wise measures which shall in
some degree mitigate the evils of Republi-
can rule in those sections where that party
still retains its dominance.

THAT conflict of authority between the
State of South Carolina and the federal
officials that the Republican papers have
been SO greatly exercised about. has been
finally adjusted, and the "ghost of nullifca-
tion'' has been laid. It was a very simple
matter-scarcely worthy of mention, far less
the great TODD raise abont it; the charges
that the authorities of the State were in re-
bellion against the government of the United
States. It's adjustment is thus told by the
dispatches, and at this distance the whole
affair looks like farce:
United States Marshal Wallace went to a
room in the Jail and made a demand upon
Sheriff Gilhrath for the prisoners Kane. Dur
ham and Moore, confined for the murder of
Amos Laid. The sheriff said: 81 shall offer no
resistance. but according to my conception of
duty cannot give them up. There hang Il !,
keys" The marshal took the keys. and the
prisoners were then brought down stairs by
the marshal and delivered to the sheriff, with
committant issued by the marshal. The sheriff
thereupon took the prisoners in charge and
turned them over to the jailor, who remanded
them to their cells.

An equity of this kind may well rest upon the
justice of requiring the tenant who seeks to
charge his co-tenant for receiving more than
his just proportion of the rents and profits to
make allowance for moneys expended in the
defense or protection of the common estate as
for instance in preserving it from forfeiture on

The Colorado Republicans denounce the
Democratic House for withholding proper
and necessary appropriations under the
specious cry of economy and reform, as u
cap-trap conclusively proved by the numer-
Gus deficiency bills passed by the succeeding
Congress. Wouldn't it be in better taste to
denounce the lavish expenditures of the Re-
publican officials which have made the pass
age Of deficiency bills necessary? The Dem
ocrats appropriated abundant means for the
proper administration of the affairs of the
government, but the Republican officials per-
sistently squahdered the money, and created
the deficiencies.
