over the old party aud it proposes
henceforth to progress as the people

OF the people OF this country are now
opposed to intempersnce, opposed to
free whisky opposed 10 the doctrine
OF secession: hence the Democratic
party. being the party OF the majority,
has gone "back on itself" hasreform-
cd as it were, to suit tho demands of
the times. A new Democracy has. in
truth, grown up in the United States
since the late rebellion; a union, 10y

the Dispatch confessing the sins OF

The Democratic convention held at
Columbus, Ohio, Wednesday OF last
week, nominated Gen. Thomas Ew-
ing, the we'll known leader Of the soft
money wing of the Democracy in
Congress, for Governor. Ewing will
probably make a good race. though
many OF the hard money Democrats
are bitterly opposed TO him. and de-
clare that they will not vote for him.
But you cant most always tell" how
a Democrat will vote. But il Ewing
Is elected, then the soft money men
will control the Democratic national
convention or divide the party. In
either case the Republicans in our
opinion would elect the President
easily. We make no claim to supe-
rior political wisdom but we conf
IDENTIFY predict that the success OF
Ewing in Ohio will insure the success
OF the Republican candidate for
President In 1880; and his defeat will
so demoralize the Democracy OF the
west as to make victory for the Re-
publican party almos; certain. The
Democrats did good days work for
the Republican party when they
nominated Ewing.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Indianapolis Journal says the
Republicans gave the Democrats a
genuine surprise Monday. Ryan,
Republican, OF Kansas. having the
floor, sent up the army bill exactly as
the Democrats reported it last week,
and moved to suspend the rules and
pass it. To prevent it thus becoming
Republican bill, Mr.. Atkins moved
to adjourn. Five Democrats voted
with the Republicans to prevent this
and force vote on the bill, but two
Republicans, Kiefer, OF Ohio. and
Sapp, OF Iowa. refused to vote with
the rest, and defeated this great tri.
umph for their party. Still. this is a
public notice OF what it has been the
desire to keep secret.namely, that the
Republicans would almost unani-
mously support the present modified
army bill.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, June 6, /

w uhO W iC'S'
The House Democracy commenced
work yesterday where it commenced
work two months or so ago, The
Legislative, Executive and Judicial
bill was introduced, 1t makes no
provisions for payment of any officials
to supervise elections. 1t will be
pushed through as fast as possible,
and get before the President before
any thing is done with the Army bill.
The popularity OF this latter bill, by
the way, Is that it seeks to make
Congress commander in chief OF the
army. This is not the constitutional
doctrine, but it Is Democratic doc
trine just at this time.
Examination OF witnesses has COM
menced In the Kellogg Spofford Sen
atorial contest. The investigation
will be pushed. The outside facts are
familiar to ALL In addition to what
is known, each party proposes to
prove fraud and bribery by the other.
Senator Ingalls,, too, it seems, is to
be investigated. His friends claim
that there is no proof of any offense
on his part, while those who have
secured the investigation say they
can prove that money was paid by
the Senator's direction TO members
Of the Legislature who voted for him.

He has differed with the majority OF
his party on important matters, but
1 can hardly name any man OF promi-
nence in the party who has not at
times done so. This Is as good a
time as any TO attempt to heal party
differences.
Senator Wade Hampton made his
first extended speech yesterday. and.
among other patriotic and un-Demo-
cratic things, said he would under no
circumstances vote to deprive the
army or he courts OF the money
necessary for their support.
1t Is not now believed by any one
that the Warner coinage bill can pass
the Senate. There is opposition from
unexpected sources. Democrats who
were expected to support 1t for the
purpose OF bringing about another veto
which would il iare the Republicans in
many sections, have announced their
determined opposition. The bill is
dead.
Ex-senator Conover was yesterday
nominated to be Collector OF Internal
Revenue for the district OF Florida.
1t is not possible to guess at what
the demoralized Democrats in the
House will do. the day OF adjourn
ment is uncertain. II, as is now the
intention of Mr.. Atkins, chairman Of
the appropriation committee. the
Legislative bill Is pushed through
the House to-day and through the
Senate early next week, Congress
may adjourn by the Goth. No earlier
day than that is now talked OF.
