The EURYDIcE DIsAsTER.-Another Of those
frightful accidents which shock the mind on per-

marine architects, these disasters will not cause

some 9th conquered commonweaithso OF
the South This conspiracy could only
be contaminated with the assent OF the
House Of Representatives. Here the
Democracy had the majority; and had
they stood firm the conspiracy must
have failed. But they were unused to
success and unfamiliar with the respon-
sibiiities of power. The Republicans
threatened violence. They assembled a
contemplate force OF thousand sol
diers in Washington and loudly pro-
claimed that with these they would shut
the House of Representatives up in the
old Capitol prison unless the Demo
cratic majority should prove itself sub
missiyel This wretched buster accom-
plished its purpose. The Democratic
House was cowed. Forsaking the sure
and safe ground OF the Constitution, and
turning their backs in panic upon all
our precedents, they agreed to a novel
and illegal plan of determining the cleo
ton, having in it certain vague element
of chance upon which they counted.
Thus through their weakness and Their
folly the conspiracy carried its point, and
afraudulent President was inaugurated.
Coming down to the late campaign,
the Richmond Dispatch has some equally
pertinent criticisms which deserve to he

1--WE have a sample Of the bad policy
of coquetting with third parties that run
upon one idea, and that dishonest one.
The Democratic Larry had the brightest
prospects Lad the game i'll their own
hands-and the elections OF Tuesday
Prove that they have impaired very
seriously their advantages by dalIylng
with the lunatic advocates OF the mon
strous absurdity OF "fat money We
remember no instance in which great
party gained anything by coquettlng
with third party, and the fiat-money Is
the worst as well as the most absurd one
that ever appeared in the political arena
in this country.
We think, however, that when great
party, with its proper objects of public
good and public peace before it, steps
aside to tamper with an Objectionable
third party, it merits disappointment
and that is what it seldom fails to win
1t is time, we say above, that the Dem
ocratic party should profit by its eXpe'
riencc. 1t should stand boldly and
maniully up to its broad principles, and
make no concessions to gain the auXlll'
ary cooperation of men whose objects
are not consonant and harmonious witt
those noble ones it is the end and aim
of their party to achieve. Such apollo!

is good for the body polite that such pol

ont that bad motives and bad measures
would supplant good ones, and the

DEMOCRATIC LAUNDERING

Some right good lccturing is being adj
ministcrcd to the Democratic party by
the press generally, on its much blum
dcring. inclusive OF its unfortunate at
titude in the last campaign.
There is always IN attractive opening
for criticism OF this character when a
party has failed to meet its iull expecta-
tions, and thchind-sight ofthe party SEN
tincls becomes, allof i sudden, wonder
fullymcid. Thcyarc always on hand after
the summing up with their "Ia, va! |
told YOU so, Look at that, See
what YOU have done by run
ming after false leaders and dem
agogucs without principle, whose sole
purpose was to create disscntions in
the Democratic party and contribute to
the success OF the Republicans. va,
va, va, Aren't YOU ashamed OF your
selves
To be just, however, we must say that
no party has given more occasion for
this kind of criticism than the Demo
cratic party. The wonder to its friends,
when We review the history OF the past
few years. is, that it has still maintained
its organization. and still more, obtained
n supremacy in the national legislature.
GRANT is reported to have said of the
Democratic party in effect that it may
always bcdcpended ITO blundcr just at
the moment when within reach OF an i'm
portant victory, and no one had better
reason for 50 saving than GRANT.
In this behalf, the New York San,
dcscants with its usual dircctncsS rs
follows:
I'VE desire to do no injustice to the
Democratic party, 1t is party oigreat
and noble traditions Its original prin-
Ciplcs are most cmphatically the princi-
pies of the American Revolution and of
the Incompatible Constitution in which
the supreme law OF the land is set forth.
These principles are of the very essence
OF liberty. Without them, 4 republic in
this country is an impossihility and re-
publican form OF government is Il farce.
But when from the past we turn to
the present the case is altered, and We
are transferred from an age of heroic
men and lofty ideas into an atmosphere
Of pettiness, timidity, and haseness.
Indeed, it has passed into proverb that
for the last dozen years the Republican
party has lived through the imbecility
and laundering of the Democracy; that
is to say, through its lack Of iaithfulness
TO principle on the one hand, and OF
practical wisdom on the other.
Only two years ago the Democrats
elected the President of the United
States; but the Republicans conspired
10 cheat them out of the election
through certain vicious partisan ma
chinery which they had established in
