that the time for the purchase went by, and
the money remains for use another time.
But TILDES has got money, and as he has
obviously little conscience, and the Demo-
cratic politicians who serve him are willing
to turn "an honest penny" by the grossest
political debauchery, his money may yet be
intended to play m important part in the
contemplated Democratic movements which
are the subjects of these rumors.
All, 1t Is said, will be dependent on the
Forty-sixth Congress being Democratic
This, Of course, will depend upon the apathy
or the energy Of the Republican party. If
the rumored conspiracy be true, Republic
cans can defeat 1t by going to the polls and
taking there every Republican on the regis
ter. If they do not, the remorse for failure
will be Of no avail when victory might have
been secured for the Republican party which
Republicans would not seize. Democratic
leaders are, therefore, calculating upon a
looking with pleasure upon the criminal
disaster Of Republican defeat In case of
a Republican defeat, 1t Is said that at the
next session of the present Congress the
plans are laid to delay the passage of the
most important of the appropriation bills, so
that they cannot be put through in time.
1t Is said to be the intention of the Demo-
Gratis so to arrange affairs as TO force the
President to call special session of Con-
gress Immediately after the 4th of March,
1879, for the purpose of passing the appro-
priaton bills. Or bill may be introduced
at the next session, and great efforts made
to pass it, requiring the Forty.sixth Con-
gress TO meet on the 5th of March, 1879

The slayc-owners' war with Mexico was

That the Democratic party in the NORTH
is controlled by the rebel Democracy of tn,
South cannot he denied, and that some sucl
plan has been talked over we do not doub
for a moment. That the Democratic lead

the disloyal Democrats, South and North
will think twice before they invoke col
lison which would rouse the country from

South have been so disgustingly deiian
since the close of the war that any overt &C
of disloyalty in the direction mentioned b.
the rumors would summon such an infu

would shrink from encountering it. Ther
are wise men on the watch, who love tn
country and its free institutions. TIL
rumors may be mere wind, like HILL

strongest defense of the country will be til
