Taking The Back Track.

AS soon as the Democrats in con-
gress began to hear from home,
they concluded that they had made
a mistake in applying the gag
concerning the fraud Investigations
and at once set about trying to I'M
do the mischief they had unwilling
ly done to their party. For FIVE
days they fought strenuously against
the proposition of the Republicans
to extend the investigation to the
states Of Oregon and Mississippi,
and then they suddenly wheeled
around and passed resolutions au-
thorizing the committee to ;nvesti-
gate Sin any states where there is
probable cause to believe that
frauds were practiced.'' On its
face the resolution seems fair enough
but it will be found simply a
dodge. The Democrats are in a
majority on the committee, and of
course they will be unable to find
probable cause to believe that frauds
existed anywhere except in just such
localities as. they may please to-.
They have tried to convey an idea
that the investigation will be full
and fair, but the Republicans on
the committee will find themselves
as thoroughly gagged" there, as
they were in the House pending the
passage of the Potter resolutions,
and will consequently be unable to
elicit any facts which the Demo-
Gratis are not willing to have made
public. AS that committee was
organized to "smudge" President
Hayes, of course the Democratic
members oft intend to see that the
dirty business is we'll done.

How 1t Works.

Referring to the situation of the
negro and the effects of leaving him
at the mercy of his late rebel master
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial writes as follows:
Were the ballot perfectly free in the
South there would be no Democratic major
ity in the present Congress. Or were the
negro taken out of politics and out of the
basis OF representation, there would be no
Democratic majority. Their majority coz
sists exclusively of 'gains" through sup
preston Of the negro vote. The enlarge
ment of the basis of representation so as to
take in the black population has given
South Carolina three members, Georgia
fo9r, Alabama four, Arkansas two, Texas
TWO, Mississippi four, North Carolina three,
Louisiana three and so on. Yet in al. the
states enumerated the Repu blicans have but
1--WE members, one from North Carolina,
one from Louisiana and three from South
Carolina. In these States alone there are
rwenty-6v members who owe their seats
70 the enlargement of the basis OF represen-
taticn to take in the blacks; yet the blacks
have proportionately a small voice in the
matter. Without negro suffrage for in
stance Georgia would have FIVE Democratic
members, but with it she has nine Demo-
cratic members. Yet to elect all of those
nin- there were only polled little over
10000 votes. That is to say, Minnesota,
with total Congressional vote of 100, 900
bss but three members, while Georgia with
total Congressional vote of 10000, has
nine members
These are facts, and they cannot be
sainsaid. The Southern whites have
sill larger advantages now than they
formerly had under the three fifths
representation for persons held to ser.
wise. Not only does the chance of the
negro for work depend on his voting
or bis not voting the Democratic ticket
but the peace of bis ZONE and his per.
sonal safety depend on his not med.
ding with politics as an Independent
citizen. He is set upon and maltreat.
ed on the least possible excuse; and if
he is the least intractablc, some moro
ing be may be found dead by the
roadside. Only the other day, q
negro aud bis wife were hung 10 Rock
isgham county, Virginia, By mob Of
''ssspectable and intelligent gentle
ssn." on the bare suspicion of having

'as barn was burned BY e white negro
Asssr-and, of course. nothing was

generally.

No man who could be guilty of conniving
to attain to the honorable and exalted pos
lti0n Of President of the great American
Republic by means not strictly fair and
honest should be permitted to disgrace
proud and high-minded people for a mo-
ment, cost what it may.
So says the Democrat, and in the
very next breath it argues in favor of
Tilden's right to the Presidency, leav-
ing one to infer that it thinks the
following dispatches from Tiiden's
agent in Oregon to Tildcn's nephew
were legitimate, ''fair and honest"

point they are to be SO considered,

TIE New Orleans Democrat does
not shrink from endorsing Jeff Davis.
1t is annoyed, even outraged, by the
manner in which Northern journals
have criticized his recent letter, read
at the laying Of the corner stone of
the confederate monument in Macon
Ga. The Democrat pronounces Davis
"rhe grandest and most consistent
champion of civil liberty the age has
produced. We think this is about
the measure of Southern sentiment
