A DEMOCRATIC paper in Columbus, Ohio,
is thus delivered:

is thus delivered:
1t is not the South. She is only tho cats
paw 1t is the North-Ncw York and Phila-
dclphia. At the last election in Philadelphia
United States Marshal KERNs appointed 7j5
deputies for Philadelphia and wherefore? That
ancient village was certainly in II state Of pro-
found peace. What then? To odrvc timid men
from the polls, to encourage Republican repeat
crs, to insult Democrats and devil them into
loud speech, then arrest them and hold them
till next morning when it is too late to vote.
This is sad. Indeed it is blood curdling,
if true; but then there is another side 10
the picture. A Democratic investigation
committee was sent from the Capitol to
Philadelphia and New York, the iated
places named above, and several days OF
most iervent search were spent in n vain at
tempt to find u solitary Democrat who
would swear buntly that he had been pre-
vented from voting at the late election by
any of the influences noted. So that Ohio
howl is waste of air

TIE post feels authorized to remark that
the hope that the present extra session OF
Congress may prove to be II blessing by
waking up the great mass of voters to Il
realization Of the importance Of the issues
now before the country will be gratiied.
There can be no reasonable doubt that the
people will bc'aroused, we think, to an adc-
quate conception Of tho importance of
defeating the purposes which the Bourbon
managers here so blunderingly revealed
since the extra session began. There would
be just cause TO despair Of the Republic If
the prospect were otherwise. If we did
not believe that the people would repudiate
the subordination of the civil power of the
General Government to the military power
Of the Southern States and Democratic
bull-dozers Of that section, we should deem
them fit subjects for monarchical rule
This will be most assuredly the only bcne-
fetal result that can ensuc from the extra
session. and as it will be accompanied by q
relegatOn OF the Bourbons to deserved of.
fetal obscurity, this "called" session will
go down to history as great blessing in
DISGUISE,

To Ne EditOr Of the National EcDNb' icdh
SrR:A republican form of government implies
that II is controlled by the votes Of the people,
and that Congress is the representative wis
dom of the entire nation but since the pre-
scmlation Of n bill for approprating tho sum
Of $27 900 for tic support Of great stand
ing army in time Of peace we are led to ask
who wants It? Tho women and children aud
patrots of every class who compose the largest
norton Of the people do not. The great mass
orworiiugmen whose labor will have to pay the
cost do not. The defense OF the country
against foreign foes docs not require it, for We
are at peace with all the world.
IL is not necessary ON account Of the Indians,
for they ali want peace, and there is no exist
ing difficulty with any of them, not even with
SITTING BULL, but what can bo settled by ar-
bitration much easier and vastly cheaper with
out the army than with it.
President HAYES docs not want it: hence
his vctocs. Neither the South nor tho North
want it to control their respective sections !;
hence this extra session and long discussions.
The ministers of the Gospel cannot approve Of
II, because their vocation calls for peace ON
earth and good will to man.

upon which our Government assumes to he

"IIERE are some State courts,' says the
post, where iuries are occasionally packed
by corrupt officials" Occasionally is very
GOOD in this connection; but invariably
would he the better word. Juries are al
ways packed in the South by partisan
Democratic county officials, so that trials
of Republicans before them amount to sim
pie mockery of justice. 1t is TO offset this
corrupt partisan practice that the national
election laws are imperatiyely required
In communities where the ruling public
prejudice is almost solid against equal sul-
lrage the direct interference of the strong
arm of the National Government becomes
q necessity for the protection Of the blacks
in the exercise of that right.

The Democratic organs reluctantly admit
that the action of the Confederate Demo-
cratic House regarding the eight-hour law
Is inimical to the best interests of the labor
ing classes. This was to have been ex-
pcctcd in view of the fact that the rulers of
that body belong to the saveocracy, by vir-
tue Of their experience, and by the effect of
every political inspiration of their surround
ings. The true friends of the laboring
masses are, as they always have been, to be
found within the Republican party. Cen
cral GRANT, for example, is the recognized
leader of the eight-hour movement in this

participated, sword in hand, in its ranks to
fill the jury list in all of the South

the test-Oath with rs clear l?l n conscience
as President HAYES himself, and at the
same time can be as thoroughly relied
upon to render verdict in accordance
with the seditious requirements of COnfcd-
crate principle as JEFF DAVIS himself
These are the facts in the case, but the Dem
ocrats are keeping up howl over the test
oath and packed iuries, and all that sort OF
thing, the same MS they did over bnyonets
at the polls. Both cries are empty and
meaningless but of such is the partisan

WHETHER Secretary SHERMAN is simply
fortunate man who has reached that tide
in his affairs which, taken at its flood, &C.,
or is really the clcar-headed and managing
statesman his friends claim that he is, makes
no difference with the public at large. The
per cent certificates are going Off faster
than the mythical hot cakes ever did, and
the public debt has been refunded at the
lowest possible rate of interest, Taxes have
thereby been reduced, and the final success
of the Republican financial policy has
thereby been achieved, all under his man
agement of the Treasury Department. This
is all that people require of a Secretary Of
the Treasury Nothing succeeds in this
country or any other like success.
