Whether Mr.. Blairs memorial shall
amount to anything or not; whether the
fraudulent seating Of Mr.. Hayes shall be
reversed by the Supreme Court OF not, Of
which We think there is but little prospect,
1t we're criminal in Congress to permit
another Presidential election to occur
without such legal provision against fraud
as shall free the ballot from all obstruc-
tons similar to those encountered in South
Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida. AnOth-
er such trial to the American people
would result in revolution aud bIoodshed,
ard they escaped it last March only through
the prudence or cowardice (Which shall
it be called Of two or three men. The
country ought never to take another such
fearful risk, but eifectually guard against
it in time. Unless il does, there is a
strong probability that 1880 will again
drench our land in fraternal blood, and,
like Mexico, we shall become a by-word
and reproach among the nations. The
Democratic party, resting under a sense
Of the deepest wrong, will enter the next
campaign with determination to succeed,
at all hazards and at s0haterer cost, if, as
atthe last Presidential election, they should
be successful at the polls. Entering the
contest of 1880 with desperate energy,
they viii make everything subservient to
success No more returning-bOard frauds,
no more electoral commission cheats, will
be tolerated for moment.

A Divided Authority.

When we first saw it stated that Mr..
Key was not the Postmaster General, ex-
cept for the Southern States, and that First
Assistant Tyner managed all the Northern
States, we set it down to the account OF
mere ordinary party fault-fnding, and sup
posed there was little or no truth in it.
But recent experiences, in this State, have
proved its truth. Mr. Keys authority
does not even reach as far north as Mary
land. While he is the nominal head, Mr..
Tyner is the actual head Of the Post Office
Department, in all except the Southern
States. He regulates the appointments
for Maryland, and in all the States North
and East Of Maryland. And, what is
more, he is very careful to inquire into the
political status of all applicants. He is
not going to be imposed upon so far as to
appoint Democrat to a postmastership
if he knows it. Hence he is exceedingly
careful 10 inquire whether applicants are
Republicans. IF not, they are turned
down without any ceremony. Mr.. Key
is only a nominal Democrat, at most
We're he entitled to be considered any
thing more, his position Of actual subordi-
nation in the Department he is supposed
to fill, would be one Of absolute humilia
tion. But his milk-and-water partisanshiI
qualities him for the secondary place he
fills.

The Syndicate and its Commissions.

At the Cabinet meeting, on Tuesday,
it was decided to notify the Syndicate of
the termination of their contract. A much
needed inquiry has at length been started
BY DIR. Hereford, of West Virginia, call
ing on the Secretary Of the Treasury to
furnish information in regardto the amount
of Government bonds issued since March
4, 1861; the net amounts received for each
issue; the currency in which they we're
paid; the commissions paid Syndicates or
persons for placing the loans in the mark
ct, and the currency in which said COM
missions we're paid. The enormous amount
paid by this Government to the Syndicate,
combination of wealthy bankers and
capitalists, for placing its loans on the
market, will startle the country when it
comes 10 be made public. The people are
not aware of the extent of this shave. 1t
viii open their eyes to the manner in
which this government has been plucked
by money-sharks, when the facts are re-
ported to Congress and the country.

Great Destruction of PrOnartH.

Details of the disastrous storms, which
prevailed last week, in some of the Northern
and Southern States have been received. Dis.
patches on Saturday state that the heavy rains
of the past two days in Virginia have caused
another rise in the rivers. The bridge over
the Stanton river on the Richmond and Dan
vile road, which had Just been repaired was
again swept away, this being the third time
inside of two months The bridge over the
same river on the Virginia Midland road, be.
tween Lynchburg and Danville, was also
washed away. The bridge was destroyed du-
ring the great food in November last, and
had been but recently replaced.

dispatch from Norfolk, Va, 10th instant
says The whole Roanoke river country is
laid waste by the recent floods, and presents
startling scene of devastation. Those who
have been up and down the river say that the
farms along its course for one or two miles
back are nearly all destroyed. Farm houses,
barns and stables are swept away, fences de-
stroyed, all things portraying a general ruin
caused by the waters. The complaints of the
farmers are heartrending and real The floods
have ruined them and left them destitute of
the means to recommence life on their barren
and wasted land. The picture is a piteous
one, and must be seen TO be realized. The
Roanoke again commenced rising to-day.

before it was founded, it must have had
prophetic reference to that city. The

The Almighty Dollar.

We are not at all afflicted, like a great
many others, with the orimania, and en-
terrain none of the prejudices now so rife
against silver. The ''dollar of the dad
dies, the "trade dollar" the 'greenback, F"
or the bank note, are all acceptable to us,
aud none of them come amiss. The only
trouble is, we can't get enough Of either.
But, our case is not singular. There are
others in the same category. That word,
"enOugh," is an unknown quantity, aud
but little understood. Itwas we'll defined
on one occasion, however, by father, in
reply to the question of his son. "Pa, y
said he, show much is enough?" "Why,

That's it precisely. We all want ''little
more, and then We shall have "enOugh, y

WOMAN SUFFRAGE parcel of wo-
men-Old notwithstanding fossils-whO
are pleased with the sound of their own
voices in debate, aud who are full of cranks
and crotchets, and who meet annually to
get their names in the papers and to keep
the world from forgetting them, met in
Washington, last week, to urge upon Con-
gress the subject of woman suffrage, in the
form of what they are pleased to call the
sixteenth amendment TO the constitution.
The average Congressman is very gallant,
so the ladies' were heard, in committee,
and Senator Sergeant moved the measure
on Thursday of last week. The ''strong
minded woman" as rule, is very persist
emf, when she gets hold of an idea she
never let's it 60, and so We shall have this
subject resurrected annually, until each
one and every one Of this renowned con-
clave shall have shuffied off this mortal
coil, for We cannot suppose that such a
measure can ever pass Congress, unless
that body takes leave of its senses.
