polls with the express intent to inter-
fere with the rights Of voters. Pass
this bill as the triumph Of the reaction.
airy party against the spirit OF the
union. Pass it in defiance Of all the
teachings that have come from a bloody
and abortive rebellion. Pass it and
make it as the tide Of that reaction
which were it to rise higher could lead
only to another and more fOrmidab le
rebellion against the authority Of the
Union. = This sentiment was loudly
applanded. Then sturdy Zach. Chand.
Ter arose in his seat and punctured the
Confederate Senators until they tried
to steal the floor away from him as
their only means of defence. ..You
tell u.s. he said, .'that you are going
to undo all that. the Republican party
has done, to repeal all the laws made
necessary by the war. Where do you
begin! At Appomattax or before! Sir,
there are IL Senator's on that side Of
the chamber who every man on this
side believes have poorer title than
the Senator from Louisiana kellogg
whom the Democrats are trying to UNI
seat. By fraud and violence you hold
your seats. Show us the road how to
vacate seats in this body if you dare. !"
This was too much for the B0urbons;
it was too much truth condensed, and
they demanded that Mr.. Chandler
should be stopped. But it could not
be done. He repeated his charge
against them, and went on; ssY on have
your day in court; make the most of it,
your time is short. The people of the
North have taken this question in hand,
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific
the people are aroused and alarmed at
the action taken in this chamber and
the other House during the last sixty
days. The effect of these title speech
es of Blaine and Chandler was electri-
cal and the Democrats had to threaten
to clear the galleries to repress the en-
thusiasm.
OF course, however, the Democrats
passed the bill, and now it goes to the
President. Will he sign it? He cannot
possibly do it. That is the verdict of
all fair-minded men The sentiment of
his former veto message is opposed to
this bill, which is simply new form
of robbing the Govt of all control over
Federal elections. The Democrats must
back down and pass the appropriation
unencumbered by any political legisla-
ton. And even that act at this late
day will not save them from cOndemna-
ton in every Northern State.
The effort alluded to by Mr.. Chand-
Ter to unseat kellogg of Louisiana, APP
pears likely to succeed. The Confede.
rates are fearful of losing the Senate
in 1881, and that seat may save them.
Then there will be but one seat in the
whole South held by a Republican, that
of Bruce, of Mississippi. A significant
sign in this crisis is the effort to pro.
mote the election of jeff. Davis to sue.

tee. He is the best campaign director
in the party, and many are hoping that
the New Hampshire Legislature will
send him to the U. S. Senate at it's ses.

friends not only in the party but among
business men. =
Elk Sec'y Broie says that Gen. Grant
will not again run for President, that
he and his best friends are set against
it. He has had all the honors he wants
and could gain nothing by going into
politics again. Mr. Borie is one OF
Gen. Grants most intimate and trusted
friends. STANDIsH.
