THE WEAKNESS OF rHE ENEMY.

A higher compliment could not have been
paid the Lawmakers of this nation during
the eighteen years that have transpired
since the rebellion broke out than is inn
piled in the conduct of the Democrats
during the present session of Congress.
This extra session has continued for more
than three months, and hut two laws on
the statute book have attracted the hos
tility or even the attention of the Demo-
Gratis, and these are the supervisors elec-
tion and the jury test oath laws. All the
rest of the laws that have been spread upon
the stathte book under continuous Re-
publican control for eighteen years are en-
phatically approved by tho Demo-
Gratis, otherwise they would have been
attacked. This is, exceedingly COM
plimentary to Republican wisdom and
craftsmanship, and leaves the Demo-
Gratis very small field of complaint and
effort at reform. The war upon the SUPER
elections, and that upon the test-oath is
based in desire to restore, as far and MS
rapidly as possible, those engaged in the re-
beilon TO the fun enjoyment of their for
fcited rights and privileges. The trouble
with the Democrats is that they have n
greater desire for mischief than they have
talent to accomplish it, and hence they stand
revealed before the country as sad failure
so far rs the last three months of their his
tory is concerned. They will have sorry
reckoning with the people over their attempt
ed revolution aud miserable failure to ac-
complish their wicked purpose. ....

The New York World has entered upon
the sensation traffic with considerable zeal
and enterprise, but with very questionable
material. 1t gives the public several col
umns of what purports to be an interview
between one JOHN +. MINES and General
STEWART L. WooDFoRD, of New York.
The object of the publication appears to be
to establish the fact that General GRANT
appointed General WooDFoRD United States
District!Attorney for the southern district
of New York, and to explain why that ap-
pointment was made. According TO MINES,
the Worlds Baron MUNCHAUsEN, and what
he doesn't know is not worth knowing, the
Democrats had concocted deep-laid scheme
for putting TILDEN instead of HAYES
in the Presidential chair on the 4th
of March, 1877, TILDEN to be sworn
is on the City Hall steps in New York, and
then to be borne by WATTERsoNs 100000
unarmed lambs to Washington and placed in
the White House, where he would quietly
remain, like ALEXANDER SELKIRK, mon
arch of all he surveyed. MINES has it from
General WooDFoRD-or MINES romances-
that the country was in great peril, and
President GRANT, discovering that fact, sent
for General WoODFoRD, and he repaired to
Washington to be informed of the great ma
ional danger, and to yield TO Presidential
solicitation that lie should accept the re-
sponsible position of United States District
Attorney, that he might when TILDEN
should be sworn in on the City Hall steps
grab the usurper, hurry him on board gun
boat, and remove him to place
of safety where the dogs couldn't
bite him. This frightful conspir-
acy against the liberties of the Ameri
can people, supposed to'be cooped up under
the jacket of SAM TILDEN, the cipher ogre
is TINS laid bare before the country ut thi.
excited epoch to warn timid women and
children Of the perils which have environed
the Government, and from which it has
had fortunate escape. The history o.
Brobdingnag and Lilliput bear no compar.
ison to the astonishing record which the
veritable and HQuidus MINES has furnished
to the World and it has handed over to the
country. General WooDFoRD will now
please to rise and explain and illustrate by
a properly-prepared map the affair that
haunts the imagination of the aforesaid
MINES.

CONKLING AND LAMAR,

The country has been startled and panied
by disgraceful scene in the Senate of the
United States, the best and most reliable
history of which comes TO us in the Con-
gresSiOnal Record, the true historian of what
occurs in our National Congress when not
tampered with by Senators or Representa-
tives themselves. II the Record is ever
falsifed it is by those who make the his
tory, and not by the official hand
that records it, DESTROYS that the
people should know just how the
pending difficulty between Senators
CoNKLING and LAMAR originated, it is
proper to state that the majority of the SEN
ate had evidently determined TO push the
army appropriation bill through that body
in the pending days session without giving
Senator CARPENTER and Others in the mi
nOrity an opportunity to express their views
in relation to its character and merits. The
minority resolved TO resist such an act of
discourtesy and insult, and prepared TO
make such resistance as effective rs their
parliamentary rights and privileges would
permit. When it became evident
that the minority was to be
gagged into silence by dom
ineering and tyranniGal majority, Senator
CoNKLING threw himself upon his reserved
rights, az well as upon the rights of paria-
mentary law and usage, and presented to
the Senate mastcrly review Of the stua-
tion, which led to the disgraceful part
assumed by Senator LAMAR, that has
already been given to the public, and which
is its own best interpreter We make no
excuse or apology for devoting the space
we give to these remarks Of Senator CoNK-
LING from the Record, for they are due to
correct understanding of what had
occurred when Senator LAMAR assumed
the role of the uncouth bully and the
arrant blackguard,
II will be recOllected that the majority of
the Senate, under the most peryerse persist
ency and bad faith, had worn out the day
and more than half the night in an effort 10
force the army bill through without debate
an effort which had heen met stubbornly
by the minority for long, weary hours under
q sense of tire wrong that was being perpe-
trated by tyrannical majority, in violation
of parliamentary law and usage and plight
