Maioritias aava Riqhta.

The:senatorial advocates of the divine
right to rule have been effectually taught
that majorities have rights, even though
democratic. The idea of democratic
senate retaining such man as Gorham
as secretary was an impertinence unpar-
alleled. He has been the main instru-
ment in levying assessments for election
purposes, thus breaking down the civil
service reform to which the administra-
ton was pledged, and prostituting his po-
sition to a degree never before matched by
a public officer. For Conkling, Blaine
and the rest of the radical tribe, to object 10
his removal, was little less than an insult
to democratic senators, and an offense of
which none would be guilty but men
whose sense OF propriety has become
strangely blunted. Besides performing
fine functions of the great republican tax
gatherer, this man Gorham was found
hob-nobing to elect greenbackers to con.
gress, when his associates were engaged
so strenously in fighting the battle for
honest money last year. Blaine and Conk'
ling we're well advised this, but aree the
loudest now to complain because he can
not longer practice his Janus faced trick,
and draw on the treasury for compensa
ton for such service. Such shamefaced
ness carries itssown comment with.t-BoS

what they have Accomplished.

4 When the republicans forced an extra
session Of congress they confidently ex-
pected to make political capitol enough to
overshadow the great fraud of 1876, and TO
carry them triumphantly oyer 1880.
1T hey had raised the issue Of
using the Federal troops at the
polls at the close Of the war. it
would have been successful; the cry of
treason" revolution" and confederate
democracy" would have fired the north
ern heart" and the incendiary speeches of
Frye, ConRer and Garfield would have
aroused the enthusiasm of the party to q
white heat; but Is years have softened the
animosities of the war aud brought into
the party management a new set of men
with clearer ideas of what is necessary TO
restore prosperity to distracted country.
In making this fight at this.time they have
antagonized the best public sentiment of
the nation, the established precedents of
their own party, the opinions of their best
men, and even the usages of England,
whose laws forbid the quarterlug of SOL
diers within two miles of voting place.
Let them 60 on. They are making politi.
cal capital very fast-for the democracy.
Commenting upon the extra session the
Springfield Mass Republican says:
'. One good thing has already come out OF
this useless evil of an extra session. The
country is learning the proper functions OF
the Federal army. 1t is not a police
force. There both parties agree. The
long debate which Mr.. Garfield opened
Saturday is confused by another issue.
The mere fact that the repeal of the law
extending the constitutional functions Of
the army to police duty at the polls is at
tached to an army appropriation bill, makes
it necessary, and all things considered, may
make it wise, for the Republicans to op
pose its passage. That they are not OPP
posed to the repeal as a simple proposition
Mr.. Garfield himself made plain at tht
close of the last session. Historically thu
republican party cannot support the ust
of the army in police duty. The early
history of the party was full of protests
against such use. To prevent such a ust

Ds.s-suspicioas Of Foul Play.

At . o'clock yesterday morning. Law.
renee Smith was found dead In m
opium den on II street, Virginia, sur
rounded by all the paraphernalia Of such
places. The oil lamp burned in dimness
aud the body lay in a crsmped position
on the low couch.
Those acquainted with Smith say that
they never heard Of his being addicted
to the habit Of opium smoking. They
think he must have taken to 1t within
two or three weeks. OF that his Arst
attempt may have proved fatal.
Yesterday Smith had 500. He paid
two bills Of $40 each. He was not
addicted to gambling. and must have
had about $50 on his person when he
went to the den. As neither any OF the
money could be found nor the keeper
Of the den. suspicious Of foul play have
been aroused.
Smiths body was removed to the un-
dertaker's after 1t had been viewed by
the Coronor's jury. and presented such
a peculiar appearance that many be.
lieved he was not dead. Hundreds OF
persons visited the undertaker's yester.
day afternoon and last evening. The
eyes were as full and bright as though
the man were alive. and the hands, feet
and limbs were quite limp aud tolerably
warm. The doctors, however, pro.
nounced the man dead. An inquest
was to have been held last evening. but
il was postponed. Not q few persons
we're OF the opinion that the man was in
q comatose condition, out OF which he
might come in dns time. The under
