DODGING THE ISSUE.

That the leaders Of both the old
parties are trying hard to dodge the
real issues-the living questions Of
the day, and to substitute matters
that have been decided long since.
The party of the future must be the
party of the people, who, forgetting
the hates and passions engendered III
a deplorable civil war, will hasten to
repair, not alone the wastes Of war,
but break the chains of d slavery to
the money power which the supposed
necessities of war first forged and
which the raising Of these false issues
it is intended shall still keep upon the
people. The N. Y. Herald, Dec. 4,
in a Washington dispatch says:
SECTIONAL AGITATION TO BE RENEW
ED-A SWORD THAT WILL CUT
WAYS. {
The Republicans have determined
to force the southern question for
ward at all hazards as a party
IL aneuvre. and will make their first
IiiONC ll1 ClllO I'll CCC-Oll W
new laws to enforce the constitutional
amendm 7nts, especially that relating
to the suffrage. They preteld that
the great body of laws framed and
passed by themselves during the re-
construction period, many OF them
odious in the irresponsible power
they confer upon mere partisan
agents, are not sufficient and that
other laws are necessary. The demo-
Gratis will probably wait to see What
precise new laws the Republicans will
propose. and it is possible that pro-
longed and important debate may
result from this Republican
manGuvre. 1t is not probable that
in the end the country can be deceiv-
ed us to the purposes of the Republi-
cans in dragging this question for
ward once more, but it is possible
that large number of Democrats
will agree to any proposition to make
thefe laws more strlgent. They rea-
son that this whole class of regula-
ton gives the party in power Il great
and decisive control over the cleo
tons in many if not in all the states,
and that they cali be used by a Demo
cratic administration, whenever that
party goes into power, with even
greater than they are now used by
the Republicans. 1t is we'll known,
that when, in 1876, it was supposed
that Mr.. Tilden would be president,
the proposition of the better class
of democrats to repeal the enforce
ment and election laws WAS violently
opposed by Democratic politicians,
who observed that these laws would
be rs useful to them as they had been
to the republicans and that they
would not be in haste to repeal them.

traded deliberately in the blood of
the people. They never stood in the
fire front Of battle, except in the per-
son of Il substitute; and the cry of
disaster to the federal armies was to
them the sweetest Of sounds-for at
it the bonds went down and the gold
went up. Having specialized then
with the fortunes Of the republic in
it's severest needs, they will not hest
tate now to make the most Of any OPP
portunity to cripple it's resources and
enlarge their own. And the determi-
nation Of the bankers to depreciate
the standard silver dollar is but one
Of many indications that there are
breakers ahead.

A NEW army bill is proposed,
wherein several very important
changes are suggested. Among 9TH
ers the adjutant generals, quarter
master generals, inspector generals
and paymaster generals stats are
done away with and system of in
terchangeability of line and staff OFF,
GERS substituted similar to the Euro
pean system of organization.
We can-ot see for the life OF us
why some of these departments
should not be consolidated, for in
stance the quartermaster and COM
missary. Why should it take ore set
of officers to clothe and another to
feed the army, or why could not the
pay department he merged with some
other ana thus reduce the number of
ofscersl There is a great deal of red
tape ana expensive nonsense mixed
up with the otiicering of our gallant
little army. Reform is necessary.

THE NEW ORLEANS CONTEN

The commercial convention neld at
New Orleans last week struck the
true keynote for the entire west and
south in the following resolutions
which, among others is adopted:
That it is the paramount duty of
the general government under its
special direction and supervision, to
construct and maintain entertainments
or levees along the Mississippi river
and its tributaries wherever the same
may be needed to prevent crevasses
and inundatlon of the people who
have their homes and fields en-
dangered.
That it is equally the paramount
duty of the general government to
make such appropriation for the
Mississippi river and its tributaries

THE general disposition OF soft
money men, as they are called, is to
interpose no obstacle in the way of
the experiment of resumption: but
the convietion is wide spread that ii
will prove disastrous failure. We

might resume specie payments if all
men were patriots, rs we can figure
out an Ethiopia il three fourths of hui

Tue resolution introduced yesterday
in the Senate, by Senator Bills, of the
7 wenty.Second District, is good one.
The questions of collecting taxes from

agitation and grievance for long
time. AS the resolution was referred

regard 10 these important subjects, the
Committee will, no doubt, give 1t their
consideration at an early day, and re-
