The New Orleans Democrat
argues that Arkansas. Texas, Mis-

ceived a large number of emf
grants. The proportion Of these
coming from. northern States is un>

OF the commissioner of agriculture
of the State of Tennessee shows
that in the State ninety-nine out
of one hundred emigrants are f ON
tue North and West ; in Missis-
sippi. all the newcomers are from
northern states, while in Texas.
although there is a large number
of settlers from North Carolina,
Georgia and the older southern
States. the Western emigran,s far
outnumber them. This change in
the direction of interstate elnigra

portant results. 1t must give the
South an increase of representa-

LEADING A CALF.

the calf was probably two months old,
with q development of unadulterated
cussedness that would do credit to q
Georgia Ku-Klux Khan captain. There

went down South Third street bets were
about even as to whether the 10y was

"say, Minister! whoa-give me my
thunderation on you-hat, won't yer"
And the calf kicked up his heels and
b.a-a-d, and tried to run into store, but
the boy sat back OIL the line with all his
strength and suddenly sat down in the
mud as the calf altered his mind and
turned around to look at him. They
went quietly ten steps, till a dog barked,

A philanthropic fat man by the name
of Wilson, a lawrer, went to the boys as

shin and butted him in th5 condenser, so
that he sat down on the curb stone and
tried to die easy. Then tho boy all d calf

how easy to it is to lead a calf if you only
go their way about it.

THE SENATE AFTER 4TH OF MARCH
CIV ashiugton Post.)

Among the twenty five members of the
Senate whose terms expire on the 4th Of
march next are Spencer, of Alabama,
Dorsey, of Arkansas, Sargent, of Caiifor-
MIA, Conover, of Florida, Stanley Math-
ews, of Ohio, and Paterson of South Car
olina-six Republicans, whose Demo-
cratic successors either are already elect
ed or will be beyond the shadow OF a
doubt. This alone would make differ
ence of twelve votes, aid if no other
changes in the Senate occurred, g We the
Democrats clear majority of ten, conn
ting Sharon, who has not been here dur
ing this whole session with the Republl-
cans, or eleven as the session now stands.
The only seats now held by Democrats
that may possibly be lost arc those OF
Mr.. Barnum, of Connecticut, and Voor-
hees, of Indiana. But even in the event
of this Improbable Republican gain, the
Democratic working majority in the
next Senate would still be six. But
while these are the only Democratic
seats at all in danger, there are six Re-
publican seats in more or less danger
those of Oglesby, of Illinois Conkling,
of New York, Cameron, OF Pennsylvania,
Jones, of Nevada, Mitchell, of Oregon, and
Ho 9, of Wisconsin. In five OF these
States the Legislatures are either Demo-
cratic or Indepen dent, to-day, and in the
sixth, New York, the Governor is DEM
GRAFT, and the Republican majority in the
Legislature is exceedingly small. Allow =
ing the Democrats only three of these
six doubtful seats, without any loss in con-
necticut or Indiana, their majority IN the
next Senate would be at least
sixteen. Allowing all the six,
would swell the majority to twenty-five.
But allowing none at all, would still
leave majoity of ten. It is simply a
question of numbers. The fact OF a De-
mocrat majority on the 4th of March
next is as absolutely certain as the ris
ing OF the sun on that day.

AN UNPROFITABLE AGITA-

The readers Of tho appeal arc

ont of the President they had elect
ed. It is known that we re ard
Hayes a. an imposter AID fraud.
But since the electoral commits
sion, which the Democratic party
favored. endorsed, the swindle by
which Hayes was made resident,
the Appeal has uniformly acquies-
eed in the decision, and opposed
any attempt to reopen an agitation
OF the Presidential election. 1t is,
therefore, with deep regret that We
see the legislature of Maryland, on
Tuesday last passed the joint reso-
lutions of Montgomery Blair, pro
posing to disturb the decision Of
the electoral commission. No
good can result from q discussion
Of this question. Every means Of
lawful resistance to the Growing
infamy that has been put upon the
country has teen ex' austed, and
now the Democracy having in their
charge the interests Of the country.
must Get itself to save all that can be
saved out of the wreck and place
itself in q proper attitude to appeal
to the people at the next election.
Hayes must be accepted as the de
facto President, opposition must be
made to any measure of the ad.
ministration that would be hurtfoi
to the whole country, and support
De given to every wise and pru-
dent policy. 1t is useless now to
sit down and sulk over the cheat,
It is useles to vituperate and rail at
The frauds by which Hayes was
made de tacto President, with the
view or expectation of deposing
him. The Democracy of the coun-
try and Of congress will not in
dorse the action Of the Maryland
legislature. The Democratic par
ty will frown down any attemp, to
reopen q discussion of the title by
which Hayes holds the Presidency.
Nev erthe|ess, Democrats unite in
the conviction that they have been
defrauded of their choice in the
right Of suffrage guaranteed them
by the constitution and the law.
They believe that the Presidency
of the republic is hold by one NOT
elected TO that Office, and without
moral title to its powers and its
Aonors. The belief is shared by a
majority of the people. They
yield obedience to an executive OF
fact but not of right, that they
may save the land from anarchy.
They none the less charge this great
crime upon those high officials by
whose conspiracy against law it
was made possible. That these,
their servants, should have certi>
fed faltehood to be the truth gives
them deep sense Of wrong. They
know that this defiance of the peo-
ple's will, if it be made prece.
dent will bring our government to

Partisan Dispatches.

Some time ago we noted the fact thai
the associated press agent at Washington
was puppy and partisan, in that he
sent, and verbatim. full dispatches oil
everything that could favor the interest 81
fraudulent administration. and the most
meagre dispatches, if at all, of any thing
that damaged it. Our charge was very
quickly and Unexpectedly reinforced by the
complaint OF the Louisville Courier Journal
Aud now comes the Washington special
telegraph correspondent of the st, Louis
Republican. under date of the 7th, with
this specific charge
1t is worthy of comment that the
associated press is resorting to its old
tricks OF reporting only that which will
least inIure THE republican party. Yes
terday they sent only short, indefinite
paragraph about the real news, the actual
sensation of the day regarding the forged
returns, but devoted columns to Levissee' s
twice told tale of how bribery was attempt
ed on him by some gamblers, that they
might be financially benefited.
In view of these palpable facts, is it not
high time for the democratic and indie
pendent press to rebel against this Internal
partisan, of a creature who looks to them
IN part for his bread and butter Peoria
