The People Remember.

While claiming to be proud of its
record the Radical party is just now
making strenuous efforts to escape
from it. The people do not propose
to permit it to do so. The people
have the operations of Belknap
fresh in their minds and they are
determined that the radical respon-
sibility for the bride taking by which
the army and the country was swim
died shall not be cast aside. The
people remember the operations OF
the whisky thieves, and how, when
guilt had been fastened upon them
by the courts, radical executive
clemency stepped in to turn aside
the punishment so richly deserved.
The people remember the scandal
that was brought upon the country,
in numerous instances of taking
by the head of the Government and
OF the radical party, the giver being
rewarded by public place. The peo-
pie remember the humiliation under
which the country bowed by reason
of the disreputable character of
very many of these appointees so
rewarded for their personal gifts.
The peopleremember social scandals
that found their way to other coun-
tries which had their origin in the
envy and jealousies of the 'sladiesn
OF official circles and which ladies'.
like the intriguing danes of old
world courts in wicked and shame
less, appeared to rule and use the
government as personal append
age. The people remember that an
arm of the public service was used
unhesitatingly for the purpose of
controlling the ballot boxes in the
interest of party in numerous SOW
ereign States. They remember that
the public money was diverted from
legitimate channels for the same
purpose. They remember that pub
lie property was sold and the pro
ceeds never accounted for. They
remember that ships and men were
~ used by private pleasure parties and
the bills paid by public monies.
They remember that corrupt prac-
tees were condoned by their Presi
dent and culprits assisted we'll out
OF the clutches of the law. They
remember that rivers of wealth
were diverted from their proper
channels to the pockets of thieving
public servants and that when some
OF these thieves were convicted that
a pardon by the President was ready
signed to restore them to the COM
munity they had outraged. The
people remember these things and
hundreds Of other disreputable acts
shamelessly committed by the rad
lcal party, and they do not propose
that that party record shall pass
INTO OBLIVION. Are the radicals, in
TRUTH proud of it, Columbus
(Indidna) Democrat.

The Old Strain-With a V ariatiOn.

The Republican minority had the satisfaction
Wednesday of witnessing great battle in the
House over the Military Academy bill-the sat-
isfaction of one looking upon battle who has
no friend, no brother there. The fierce debate
hsdits origin some days before in hasty
proposition by Mr.. Aiken of South Carolina
to put the West Point Military Academy up
at auction. This proposition was so shame
less that it even quickened the slow blood of
a Northern Democrat, and Mr.. Hewitt of
New York sharply responded, insinuating
that the Southern desire for the destruction
of West Point had its origin in sulkiness over
the failure of the rebellion. OF course the
New York member was at ouce bitterly as
sailed by the Southern Representatives and
subjected to no end Of abuse.
BY Wednesday Mr.. Hewitt had repented
himself of his brave words and after the old
manner of the Northern doughface, pro-
ceeded to make an apology. His attempts to
explain away the truth were not however,
received in conciliatory spirit by his South
ern brethren. He was taunted with the
cowardice of the Northern Democracy during
the war. (which was proper enough) and ac-
cused of selling out his party; he was told
that he lied in his heart and lied in his foul
throat, and his name was pleasantly coupled
with that of Benedict Arnold. To the spec
tators it seemed that the good old plantation
days had come back, when the chlvaric
Southerner ''whallopped his nigger'' at home
and his Northern opponent In Congress
The Southern man who used the most abu-
sive epthets is said in the associated
apparently ilr'-probably euphuism for
"evidently drunk.' Mr.. Hewitt was not
however disposed to make any allowances on
account of the intoxicaton of his opponents,
but got very mad and charged upon the
Southerners that they had sold out their party
in order to secure the withdrawal OF the
troops from South Carolina and Louisiana
Thereupon a general debate sprang up, and
many men felt called upon to deny that any
bargain had been made. Indeed there was
over-much protesting.
The debate lasted nearly two hours, and
showed that the South has not abated its
high pretensons nor reformed its insolent
manners during its long exile from Congress.
The discussion was almost wholly confined to
the Democrats, who called each other liars
and rogues with great earnestness and not a
little appearance of truth. One thing how
ever was shown: that Northern men with
Southern sympathies cannot cringe and fawn
so readily as in former days. A determined
attempt was made, but it was not entirely
successful. If this sort of thing goes on we
shall have a solid North before we know it,.

Ten Points for Silver.

The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette has carefully studied the argu-
ments of the silver mea in Congress, and finds
that up this time they have proved, to their own
satisfaction, the folio wing points:
/. Silver was demonet zed when no silver
was 10 use as money.
g. Demonstration drove it out of use.
3. Demonstration in the spring of 1873
caused panic IN the fall of 1873, although
T. Nobody knew silver had been demone-
tizad till the fall of 1874
.. The people have right to pay in the
cheaper metal
G. Silver will not be any cheaper than gold
after it is remOnetized. Senator Thurman
allows it twenty-four hours to equal gold In
value, but others think some months will be
required.
z. The people prefer to use silver as money.
8. After reconciliation the people will not
use silver. but greenbacks redeemable on de-
mand in silver.
8. No silver dollars were in existence when
the bonds were issued. But
10. 1t was part of the understanding that
the bonds were payable in silver dollars.

AS Mr.. Hale said in the National House
Wednesday, the South is determined to Grip
pie the army. Little by little it is impairing
the efficiency of our national police. Its
object is evident. It was admitted by a DEM
ocrat on the floor of the House Wednesday
that there would have been another rebellion
had not the troops been Withdrawn from the
Southern States. Perhaps when the army is
sufficiently crippled the new war will come.
Meanwhile Northern Democrats are aiding
the South in its schemes. The necessity OF
solid North is every day becoming more
apparent.

PRESIDENT Hayes is naturally very much
shocked and grieved that the Louisiana peo-

says ominously that if they don't behave
better he will do something 10 them which
