HN. IDI len - His-l' Wv 4 Ai-'' -
The anxious solicltudc with which Mr.. Henry
Watterson and other Democratic leaders re-
gard the present political situation and the
attitude in which their party has been
placed by the action OF Congress Is
well founded. They are quite right i'll the
observation that the investigation just
set on foot will prove fatal blum
der unless its movers do much more than fill
the measure Of the programme they have an
nounced. For they have established their own
conditions, fixed their own limits to the scope
of the inquiry, appointed their own tribunal,
and at every step in the preliminary proceed
ings made sure of having their own way and
allowing 10 interference. So far as they
can fOresee they have taken no risks nor
chances. The main object has been from the
outset to make a dead sure thing" of it.
If there was ever a court organized 10 con-
Wet it is the high court of inquiry which
Sneaker Randall has selected TO prosecute
this investigation. And the whole business
has been managed in such laundering way,
with such pig-headed stubbOrnness and unrcas-
onng stupidity, as to disclose not only the base
ness of the motive but the deliberate unfairness
of the methods aud patent purpose to pervcrt
truth and justice 10 partisan ends. The public,
as these conspIrators may rest assured, is not
imposed upon in the least by any of the
professions or prctences upon which this
business has been brought forward. To
go back upon their own agreement to abide
by the decision of the Electoral Commission,
was in the first place such IA violation of truth
and honor as could hardly be excused OF pal
hated, even by the discovery of unqucs,i0ned
frauds nyaliGating the election beyond dis
putc But they have done much more than
this They have taken the responsibility OF
repndiating their own promises and OF setting
on foot revolutionary proceedings upon no
better prctcXt than that they have procured
afidavts from election officers who swear
that they have perjured themselves they
have refused to enlarge the inquiry sufii-
cicnty TO include other facts than those they
have prepared and they have so constituted
their court of inquiry as to give the least
possible chance to bring out anything except
the testimony that has been made up for the
case.
The public now waits to see what they have
To produce in the way of evidence OF fraud,
that can furnish any warrant for these un-
usual and revolutionary proceedings. With
all the conditions in their favOr-eyerythlng
"set upn for them, so to speak-it becomes
incumbent upon them to prove something
much more conclusive than anything
that has yet been intimated. They
have taken the responsibility Of dis
turbing, or attempting to disturb the peace of
the country, and they will DO held to strict
account for it unless they can show some
adequate cause for 1t. The people will not
excuse them for trying revolutionary expert
ments with nothing but er-parto and un-
Trustworthy testimony or foolish conjecture to
base them on. Nothing indeed will excuse

The people OF the Southern States have n
matter to settle with their Representatives.
We do not doubt that a majority of them have
honestly desired to put an end to sectional and
partisan strife, that the South might become
peaceful and prosperous. But Their rcpresen-
tativcs have voted to reopen the contest in
its ugliest and most dangerous form. We do
not doubt that a majority Of the people Of
the South meant to act in good faith, keeping
the pledges 80 freely made in their behalf when
the electoral controversy was settled, and again
when troops were withdrawn. But their rep
resentatives have broken every ouch pledge,
and with a degree of bal faith which in phi
vate life would make a man Infamous,
have decided to dispute the finding of
arbiters demanded by themselves, to upset it
if they can by a Onc-sided and fraudulent in
vestigaton, and to open fi0od-gates of SANDER,
bribery and forgery against a President who
is assalled by some members of his own party
only because he has not kept the South under
the harrow.
In the face of opposition from old friends,
and at the cost of the good will OF some of
them, THE TRIBUNE has urged for years that
the South should be trusted, generously and
fully. 1t has insisted that under the rule of
force, the better elements at the South were
overbOrne. and had no chance to bring about
a more healthy, peaceful and loyal feeling.
To give these elements an opportunity to show
what good there was in them and what power
they had for good, THE TRIBUNE has sustained
the course Of President Hayes toward the
Southern States. Within one short year, the
result is a new revolutionary movement sus-
tanned by nearly every representative from the
Southern States. 1t cannot be said that the more

something more than surleIt, with not one

the Potter resolution seems to cap the climax.
These gentlemen were dissatisfied with the
result of the Presidential election as first
officially declared. They clamOrcd that they
would have none of it, They would have an
Electoral Commission decide it, or they would
make trouble They had their Electoral
Commission, and it decided against them.
They were still dissatisfied, and SOL
EMMY resolved that they had been
cheated. month ago, according to inter
views published in The HerGId, and uncontra-
dictcd, the Democrats in Congress, almost
without exception said they were opposed to
reopening the Presidential question. Last
week they voted, nevertheless, almost unan-
mously, for the Potter resolution, which does
substantially reopen it. They seem to
recognize no obligations; to be bound
by nothing. They do not submit to the
laws they repudiate their own express prom
Ise and agreement; they pay no regard IN the
vote of to-day to what they said were their
opinions yesterday. Nothing satisfies them, or Is
final with them. They have been beaten at every
point, and still, to the disturbance OF Che cOun-
try's peace and the hIndrance of its prosperity,
they PERSIST. The comfort OF it is, however,
that they are pretty near the end of their
tether. The people are tired of their empty
clamor and constant laundering. Their pres
ent contract is to startle the country with
some fearful disclosures. If they fail to full
ill it they will be bundled out in the Fall.

THE DEMOCRACY MOVING.

| That the Democracy are moving in the di-
rection of candidate for Congress is made
known to us through the Silver State of
Thursday as follows: The good people of
Washoe county appear to be devoting goodly
share of attention to political affairs cor
respondent writing from Reno, which appears
to be the political hub of Nevada, states, as
appears in his letter in another column, that
the relative merits of Senator Cassidy of Eu-
reka, and Attorney General Kittrell, are be-
ing discussed as probable candidates for Con-
gress on the Democratic ticket Each of
the gentlemen named is well qualified to fill
the position, and undoubtedly would faith
fully attend to the interests of the State at
Washington, but we are authorized to state
that they have a formidable rival in the per-
son of H. X. Mitchell. We do not wish to
be understood as saying that Mr.. Mitchelsee
the nomination, as he does not, but he will &C
cept it if rendered him by the convention
He has many friends throughout the State,
who will undoubtedly urge his nomination.
In point of ability he has no superior in either
party in Nevada, and we believe his candid
acy for Congress would be as acceptable to
the people of Nevada as that of any man yet
named for the position.

A bothered looking citizen came into

respectfully asked to be let look at the

To the Democratic Party OF South
Carolina.

The State Executive Committee extend
to the Democracy of South Carolina their
warmest congratulations for the magnifi-
cent victory achieved i'll the recent cleo
tion, which has been as peaceful as it is
triumphant. It is especially gratifying
that so many thousands of the colored
people of the State have united with us
in perpetuating home rule and good
government. We extend to them our
most eordal appreciation of their good
sense and patriotic action, and we would
impress upon our people the necessity of
continued unity and harmony. We have
achieved grand results, and every true
Carolinian's heart responds with graft
tude, but much yet remains to be done.
We must keep our armor bright and
girded on, and our ranks closed up, to
meet any exigency the future may de-
velop. And now that the campaign is
over. and it. work done. We feel that we
cannot lay aside our active duties with
distressing accident which has befalen
our beloved Chief Magistrate. This
alone mars the completeness of our
triumph. In his suffering he has the
sympathy of n grateful people to cheer
him, and their fervent prayers that n
kind Providence may soon restore him to
his wontcd vigor and usefulness.

)THE OTHER FEMALE MAsON.-Re-
Gently the Observer, after referring to the
fact that the Hon. Mrs A!dworth, oi
England, is supposed to be the only fe-
male Mason in the world, divulged the
fact that Mrs. b. B. darlington, who was
at one time resident of this State, was
also member of the ancient and hon.
orabie order. The Odssrper's article has
brought the Shelby Amorn to the front,
and in its issue Of yesterday, the editor
Mr.. J. p. Darlington, writes as follows:
"Inasmuch as the lady referred to in
it our duty to rcpublish it and make the
necessary corrections. The story is cor
rect with the exception of places and
age. The lady's father was native of
New York, and moved to Greenup coun.
", Kentucky, where our mother was born
and raised. The place where she was
made elason wns in an unfinished
church room. She secreted herself under
the pulpit. going in at an entrance from
the side, and was eventually discovered
while leaving her hiding place after the
lodge had adjourned. She was about Is
years old when she was made n Mason,
and our father did not join the order for
nearly 90 years after they were married.
We do not belong to the order, but we
have it from men who do that she is
brighter in Masonry than large num-
Der of men who have passed to the third
degree. Our mother is still living, and
is now in Boyd county, KY, few miles
from where she was first initiated into
the mysteries of that ancient order of
Masons." ."-Chariotte Obserrer.
