All concede that the party Of
great moral ideas" has but q
short lease of life. Even the
leaders themselves admit that it
cannot much longer control the
country. Newspaper correspon-
dents at Washington say there
is discord and disunion, amount
ing to little less than disintegra-
ton, among the Republicans at
the capital. The leading Re-
publican organs entertain no
hope Of their party ever again
winning any great victories,
either in State or Nation. Mr..
Curtis, editor Of Harpers' Week
", talks about the Dangerous
division" in the party, and not
with alarm that s.the Democrats
already hold the House, and
within q short time they will
control the Senate" and that
"the fact that the Republicans
seem to be hopelessly divided,
will band the Democrats togeth-
sr for the coming elections" -
The speech Of Howe in the SEN
ate, the Republican caucus re-
Gently, and the signs Of the times
in all directions, make it clear
that the Republican party is
losing its grip. In 1879 Congress
passes entirely out of it's con-
troll, and in 1881 the Presidency
also. The cohesive power OF
public plumber once removed,
the party win soon disintegrate.
It has long been bankrupt Of
principle; nothing but the spoils
has kept it from crumbling fo1
years. Once deposed at Wash
ington, the Republican party
cannot much longer maintain
its hold in the States. The lead.
ers see this, and feel that the be.
ginning Of the end is at hand.

Congressman A. s. Hewitt, OF
New York, is entitled to the cred
it Of an eminently sensible sug-
gestion, which is this: That a
new hall shall be fitted MP for
the accommodation of the House
OF Representatives, in which
there shall be neither speech
making, writing, private CONVEX
sation, reading, sleeping nor
loafng-nothing but strict at
tention to legislative business.
Mr.. Hewitt thinks that with this
supplementary hall congression-
al sessions would be lessened in
quantity and improved in quail
~, to the great satisfaction OF
the taxpayers and the general
Improvement Of politics.

Tweed, with all his faults, had
one redeeming trait, which was
that he did not steal under the
cloak OF religion. he stole his
millions, to be sure, but he did
it openly without any pretense
to honesty or piety.

The Republicans are having
their periodical scare again

Fifth Congressional District.

Already the campaign has
opened over in the Fifth Con-
gressional District. Several can
didates have "come OUT for
local Offices, and campaign clubs
are being organized. From the
present early indications things
promises to be pretty lively over
there. The greatest interest, Of
course, will be in the selection
of a Congressman. The most
prominently mentioned gentle
man for that Office is Col. John
s. Young, of Claiborne. We
notice that he receives the CON-
mendation of many newspapers
in his District, and several out
of it. When a mans popularity
extends so far, it is pretty good
evidence that he is meritorious.
We hope he will receive the
nomination, for several reasons.
First, he is as competent, if not
moreso, than any man in the
District, and, in the second
place, if there is any such thing
as reward for party services, we
believe that he is entitled to it.
On two occasions, when Radical
oppression ruled, and when
Democratic success was improb-
able, even impossible, did this
gallant gentleman lead a forlorn
hope. At great loss of time,
expense, etc., he canvassed his
District, endeavoring to arouse
our oppressed people to action
and to a defence of their politi.
cal rights. He knew, that his
defeat was certain. But he led
a forlorn hope, with a view of
infusing fresh life into a decay
ing party and rallying it to the
front for combined action in
overturning Republican rule.
While success was improbable,
and carpet-baggers ruled by
force and fraud, we do not recol-
lect of any one who acted more
zealously and did more service
to the Democratic party than
Colonel John s. Young, of Clai-
borne. He valiantly lead the
party when success was not pos
sible; let him now lead it that
success is probable.

Tho Coming PigtaiI.

ITOO8Oly the next issue t0aL
the people of this grand Repub-
lie will be called upon to wrestle
with will be that of Chinese
suffrage. There are about 2OO,-
600 Of them in the United States.
In a few years they will become
more numerous and influential.
Then they will demand the elec-
tive franchise. Some political
party will advocate "Chinese
suffrage" as the Republican
party did negro suffrage. The
colored man and brother must
then take a back seat, and the
"poor, down trodden heather
Chinaman" will be the pet.
When John becomes a voter, we
must quit calling him a heather.
He then becomes our respected
fellow-citizen," just the same as
the darkey. The issue will come,
and the extreme West will resist
it, even to the extent of civil
war, We, of the South, can
look on with that serene indif-
feren that the West did, when
universal suffrage was rammed
down our threats.
There is not one Chinaman
in a thousand but who knows
how to read and write, in his
own language, at least. The
objection is that they do not
come here to remain permanent
ly, but come as slaves for q term
of years, and that they are
''heathens." We have no right
to 60 behind the face of the re-
turns and come to any such con-
sion, and as for their slavery,
this great and glorious country
does not recognize any such q
peculiar institution. And as for
their being heathens-that is
what they say about us. They
profess to worship the same God
that we do, and deny that they
worship images, as images, any
more than does a Catholic in
bowling before the emblem OF
the Cross. Buddha, the founder
of their religion, lived and wrote
nearly 1900 years before the
Christian era. Confucius lived
and put in motion his system OF
philosophy more than 500 years
before the birth Of our Savior.
Their priests claim that the
forms Of ceremony in the Greek
and Catholic Churches are
adapted" from theirs. At any
rate, history shows the Chinese
were printing books 1 900 years
before Roman or English history
began, and China was a civilized
nation long before England ex.
listed.
| We have no especial friend.
ship for these people, but, from
a liberal standpoint, we argue
as above. There are a few
things about John that we dc
not like: He will steal but te
one another, they are truthful
and honest. Again, he eats with
his hat on, and uses "chop.
sticks" instead of a fork o.
spoon, but that is not as bad az
showing a knife into the mouth

ESCAPE OF A GARRETT COUNTY
ANIMAL.-Yesterday a deer, closely
chased by hounds, ran into Mr.. James
j. Hoblitzell's garden, where he was
headed off and cornered by Messrs,
George Huston, George Hoblitzell and
others. She was Lot going to be
caught that way, however, and jump
ed the enclosure and sped away. She
is native of Garrett, though whence
she came and whittier she went is
merely matter Of conjecture. 1t was
doubtless an excursion son the fly"
very much aided by the enterprise of
the hounds.
