the tables are actually turned, ana that 'ne
men who strove to destroy the Government
now rule it, We have no disposition 10
taunt any of these gentlemen with their ms
take or their defeat, when we cite their
record. What we do mean to do Is to show
by theirpast record and their present utterances
that they are the same in spirit ana
in purpose as when they were In arms
against the Government. They have been
frankly forgiven for their rebellion and iully
restored to their rights as citizens. We would
not take from them a single right they now
enjoy. Nor would we revive the animosltles
of the past. If they are revived, it Is their
own work, not ours. They do 1t when III
carrying ont the work Of reconciliation, OF
which they claim to be 40 deslrous, they
clasp hands, not with their former opponents,
the supporters of the Government, but with
their old allies, the Northern enemies OF the
Union. The motives of the Southern leaders
lie too near the surface to he concealed. III
they do not like to hear their Confederate
record referred to- they should cease pursuing

POLITICAL NOTES.

It's useless for the party to squirm; Tden's grip
is sure.
As n Democratic wake, the extra session is y
rafting success.
Ciphers stuffed balot-boxes and illimitable cheap
money-,hat'o a noble platform!
1t Is incredible that even Democratic stupidity
can consent to an attack upon the National banks
The next time Senator Bayard rises above party
he ough: to consider the wisdom OF jumping out OF
1t forever.
II Tilden doesn't twist the breath out Of tho soft
money movement his mortgage on the party won't
be worth It's weight as old junk.
A shudder runs through the business OF the coun-
try as soon as the Democratic majority in Congress
unmuzzies itself Tor debate on the finances.
The decrepit Innocent of Cipher Alley notices tho
sly little gamo Of tho former tail of the Reform
kite, aud observes: Don't You wish you may get

New-York tribune., 1879-04-11

as if the yexation of the Summer SESSION
would be we'll paid for Most of us antcl-
pated a season Of mischievous, or at best
fruitless, wrangling; it may be that our IlrSt
experiment of a Democratic Congress, TINS
carly under the restoration, Will be reckoneu
hereafter as n singular piece of good fortune
Certainly it is a good thing that the tendep-
cies as well as the avowcd aims OF the two
parties are made manifest before the tiine
comes for selecting candidates and construct
ing platforms. Mr. Tilden would probably
have been elected i'll 1876 if a large proper
ton Of the unattached voters OF the East
had not entertained we!l-grOunded suspicion
that the conduct of his party in power would
vary widely from its promises out of power
either that the leaders made inslncerc profeS-
sions. or that the acts OF the Democracy must
finally he controlled by extremists whom Mr..
Tilden and his friends were trying to keep
quiet. 1t is plain enough now that conserva-
tive Democrats who voted for Tilden
and Hendricks, trusting in the specious
declarations Of the st. Louis Convention, were
grossly deceived. But the extra session OF
Congress will go far to make such deceptIons
impossible another time. In the excitement OF
these debates at Washington the real enar-
acter of the Democratic majority Is shining
out, and we are learning what the party
would do if it had the chance, rather than
what its more astute managers think 1t prll-
dent to talk about doing in public. TO break
down the safeguards of free ballot, TO de-
stroy the constitutional checks upon the power
of an aggressive majority, to doplete the
Treasury, and to unsettie the bases or or
financial system,-these are the purposes toward
which the conduct of the Democracy clearly
points.
We may regard it then rs, in one sense,
piece of good fortune that the lnfiatonist fac
ton have succeeded at last in throwing oil the
restraint which more cautious Democrats have
hitherto placed upon them. If these extrem-
lists are not strong enough to control Their
party the demonstration which they threaten
viii do no harm, and may soon prove their
own ruin. If they are the ruling element o.
the Democracy, IT is important that the coun-
try should know the fact without further dc-
Law, so that sensible men of business may
come out of that sort OF company. IL Is
high time to draw the lines. There has
been too much training under false
colors,-hard-mOnc candidates felgning to
accept soft-money platforms, dubious res
olntions framed for the purpose OF cOnceahng
principles stiffness, evasion, cowardice dis
honesty, downright falsehood dissracins the
record of the party, the behavior of the can
didates, the votes and speeches of its repre-
sentatives and Senators. If the session runs
on into Summer there will be an end of tins.
The Democracy will be forced TO tell MS what
they mean, and people who support them next
wear will at least know what they are voting
for.

ONE THOUSAND DOGS

Dog Show of this year-the third of its kind under
the auspices Of the Westminster Kennel Club
Nearly one thousand animals were exhibited, many
of them of extraordinary beauty and in excellent
condition. A finer opportunity could not be desired
of studying the different varieties of this special
and ancient domestic favOrite-whether in the form
of petted playthng of trusted guardian or of use
ful servant. Nothing, indeed, was wanting TO the
enjoyment, except a feeling that tho dogs them
selves were not enjoying 1t. We do not know that
any better method Of placing them could be hit
upon, but hardly one seemed at home in his narrow
cell, while the constant barking howlng and whin-
ing showed how Ill at ease the creatures were. One
of the plcasantest things in the exhibition was the

4 BLESSING IN DISC USE.

The calling of the extra session was regarded
by most people-by all Republicans and Il
great many DemOcrats-as serious msfor-
tune. Our country suffers habitually from
too much political excitement and too much
Congress. We need long periods of repose,
to cultivate the finer arts of life, to look
after our business interests, to encourage the
development of industries which cannot grow
except in time of public quiet and still
more perhaps is truce in the conflicts OF
partisanship necessary to enable the popular
Judgment on political issues to ripen by ex-
perience and reflection. But it looks after all

through long series of rcsurrectiOns, and
come up each time with new stock of i'm
pudence and persistency. Every Congress
and every Legislature is confronted with
host of these veterans III new clothes. one
old soldier has reappeared at Albany this year
whose head has been punched by the united
press so many years III succession that ne
might have been supposed to be incapacI-
tated by this time; but no, here he Is
again. The same old bill to create
bureau for the inspection of steam boilers has
been twice introduced in the Assembly, once
by Mr.. Seebacher, and once by General
Sharpe, but in the latter instance by request.
The scheme proposes the formation of a
bureau with highly-salaried officials, handsome
fees for boiler inspections and engineers
licenses, and with large powers over the
business and property of steam-users, which
might easily he abused. The project might
be Justly defined as one to provide offices for
Office seekers. There is no good reason for
executing it, because exactly the same service
as is contemplated under the bill is rendered
under the present law at less cost, 10 charge
being allowed now for boiler inspections and
engineers licenses There is not even de-
cent pretext for the bill, because within the
city limits, to which it applies, there have
been 10 explosions for several years, and the
present law seems to be working well. The
bill should be l1illed-as usual.
