Some ofthe democratic members Of Congress-
though voting 10 the House for the bills agreed
upon by tho caucus Of their party, are en-
rhatic 10 their denuuciation of them, and ear
ntsIy desire, though without hope. that some
thing may yet turn up by which both the bills
nay bo defeated, or be vetoed. Wo don't
wonder; for they could have gotten as liberal, II
not more favorable terms, during the last ses
son of Congress as those they have now agreed
to accept, and thus have saved all tho expense
Of the prescott session, and spared their party
the serious Injury it has received at their handP.
The republicans in tho last Congress agreed to
repesl the test oath-indeed it was already re
pealcd, and was only on tho statute book by
mistake, and they were wil!iog to prohibit the
use of troops for police purposes. Tho adop'
tiou OF these two measures. after more than
th.uo months, has baen finally secured by the
consent of Mr.. Hayes and his political advisers.
Tho republicans 10 tic last Congress would not
agree to The disuso Of deputy marsha's ct olec-
tious, aud after hundred days tho democrats
have agreed to adjourn withou! securing that
dsuse. for, when MIR. Hayes vetoes the mar
shals' bill, as no will do, tho law will staod as
il is now, aud Mr. Davenport and men like him,
aud their deputies, will have as much authority,
and what's mora. will exercise it, to iutmidato
democratic voters at the next congressional
election as they had at tho last. Verify. the
mountain has been in labor and has brought
forth mouse. A sad and impotent conclusion,
Tut net unexpected by those who are familiar
With The material of which a majority Of the
democrats national law makers is composed.
No wonder so many Of them ran away from
Washington so as not to be in at tho death.

A STIRRING APPEAL
OF THE
JASPER MONUMENTAL ASSOCIATION
OF SAVANNAH. GA.

To Irishmen aud the Friends of Consti.
tutional Liberty An Association, under
the name of the "JAspER MONUMENTAL
ASSOCIATION" has been formed for the
pupose Of erecting monument to the
memory Of Sergeant Jasper.
1t will be remembered that on the 9th
day of October, 1779, Sergeant Jasper fell
In the attack on Savannah, and it is tho in.
tention Of this Association to lay the cor.
ner stone of the proposed monument on the
9th day of October, 1879. No occasion
could DO more appropriate than the ccnten.
nial Of his death; no place more ftting than
that whereon he fell. While other Irish.
n'en rose higher in tho Colonial ranks, yet
mono there was who more truly represented
Ireland in America than the brave aud
modest William jasper.
Born in ireland, he emigrated to Amer.
ica and settled in South Carolina. The
war of the Revolution found him devoted
patriot, and on the 28th Of Juno, 1776, he
was engaged in the defense Of Fort Moul
trie. His conspicuous gallantry in leaping
over the ramparts of tho fort during the
hottest of the fight and fixing anew the flae
which had been shot from its staff, won fol
him the admiration Of his comrades, anc
inspired the brave defenders Of old Moul
trie with loftier heroism.
For this act he was offered commission
by Governor Rutledge, who said to him

A Horse Thief Captared.

Dir cry
The authorities of this county were
notified Wednesday by Sheriff Cook, Of
Denver, that a horse, saddle, bride,
white gum coat, and other minor arti-
Giles were stolen from Sedalia, Douglas
county, Colorado, on the 7th inst. Ac-
cordingly the various officers were on
the alert for the thief.
About 9 O'Clock yesterday morning
Thomas +. Talbot saw a man riding
along leisurely, west of Crow creek, in
the direction Of Fort d. A. Russell,
whose outfit correspondent to the de-
scription given of the thief. Mr.. Tai
bot at once mounted his horse and
went in pursuit. When he came up to
the horse and rider he found that he
was the party wanted, and placed him

name as John Baird, but refuses to
give any further information of himself
or as to how he came into possession of
the property in his charge. He was
lodged in the county Jail and Sheriff
Cook notified of the capture. There
was a reward of 1875 offered for his ar
rest, which Mr.. Talbot will, of course,
be entitled to and receive.

Mr.. Belford's Return.

Hon. J. B. Bedford, representative
from Colorado, dropped into the LEAD
Err office yesterday afternoon while
waiting for the Denver train. He had
just come from Washington, tired and
dusty, but was affable as usual. Mr..
Belford says that the democrats in con-
gress are the sickest and most disguised
set of ROSTERS he ever saw. They are
anxious to adjourn and thus get rid of
the intolerable annoyance OF defeat.
Mr.. b. thinks they will gather them
selves up and adjourn.,on or about Tues
day or Wednesday next, regardless of
the presidents prospective adverse Sc
ton OH the judicial appropriation bill.
There is a good prospect that Mr..
Hayes will step on this with his little
veto, but the other bills will no doubt
he signed by him.
The heat of Washington Mr.. Bedford
represents to be severe, while the usual
summer ailments incident to that place
are ife.--7Every congressman is more
or less anxious to get home, and when
congress does adjourn, there will be such
a sudden exodus of law makers from
Washington that the transporting ca
pacity of all the roads will be tested to
the full.
