WHILE the Democrats all over the coun-
try are bonsting that they are the especial
friends of the laboring classes, it is well not
TO forget that in the last session they voted
as party to reduce the salaries or wages OF
all government employees, from clerks down
to messengers and labOrers to the lowest
rates. The Republican majority in the Sen
ntc did what it could to restore these rates

Az effort Is to be made to induce SeCre-

take it for granted it will not he successful
unless q few Democrats join in ii, just to
take the tinge or taint of partisanship out
of it. The unmentiOnable and unparIona-
bic crime Of advocating fixed principles
without being asked to do so by the oppo.

\ FEW among large number Of COM
mCnications received by us, complaining of
the i'll luck and unjust treatment OF North
ern settlers in Virginia, have been printed
in these columns. The result is exactly
what We anticipated. The Democratic
press Of Virginia is irate over these disclos-
ures and prOfuse with denials of their state
ments. This is all right 50 far Us it goes
but it will have no influence in changing
the public sentiment which has now set in
strongly against Northern emigration into
the southern States. We propose duliber-
erutcly TO encourage that sentiment
and foster its growth in every legitimate
way at our command. We will not suffer
any Misrepresentation Of facts TO appear in
our columns, and do not propose TO give only
one side Of the C.lsc. For this reason we
have printed several letters defending Ger
tain portions Of the Old Dominion against
the broad charges that have been made
against tie entire State. We add that these
! PORTIONS or localities are circuIhsrrbcd to n
geographical limit which is within the r,.-
dius Of influences here nj Washington. In
Fairfax, Loudoun, and q few other neghbor-
ing counties the Northern settler has but
little to complain Of. Until the same can be
said of other sections of the state We pro-
pose, as we have said, 10 warn the public
against the deceptive inducements held out
by Virginia to "carp,t-baggers. This, IN
Our humble opinion, IS one way and "A good
way to aid true reconstruction.
TIE newspapers Of the country are dis
cussing the local aiiiirs OF the District Of
Columbia with some vi-or just now, the
discussion being inspired by exaggerated
and sensational reports Of tho doinss of
COHEN, the Arkansas tramp. The Phla-
delphia DnY,tn says:
II the city government of Washington were
good for anything, which It evidently Is not,
it would have ended Mr.. CoHES's little cLu.
pagn several days ago. In this city man
who behaved as he has done and Is doing
would lnd himself suddenly in prison or Ia
the House Of Correction for breach Of the pub
lie peace. It l. di-gracuiu that the capital OF
the nation should he subjected for weeks to
the tcrrOrs born Of the supremacy Of the mob
which follows at the heels Of this vngab,md.
The Ba1ciia is right In every particular in
this paragraph except in the assertion that
the Capital has been subjected for weeks
to the terrors bprnof the supremacy Of the
mob The trath is that the law is su-
prcme here, and, while it has not been exc.
Cuted with as much yiGor, or, perhaps, rs
much discretion, as it might have been in
other cities, under similar circumstances
COHEN has been efleCtually squclChed with
out having enjoyed a chance to martyriz'
himself 1t is to be regretted, however, that
our non-eective city government has sub
iected itself to this kind Of uniavOrabl
criticism. If it were composed of officer
elected in whole or in part by the people
things might be different. Either COHE!
aud his handful Of ragamultins would be su
preme at the polls, or the better classc
would have their way and say. At any rat,
there would be no dilly-dallying.

THE black man has no right under the
"sun to vote" shouts the Gknlona Miss
.S,dt,s. "He has never had the right" it
goes on to say, for the ballot came into his
possession by illegal means, and it must he
taken from him" This is the under
lying sentiment of the true, because 1t
is the Bourbon, Democratic policy of this
country to-day. The North is engaged just
now in war over the financial question,

great topic, the Southern Dourbons, who
