A DEMOCRATIC TRIcK.-A Washing.
ton correspondent, in alluding to the
election Of Thurman as Vice President
pro tenn. says: Mr.. Wheeler, the Vice
President, is not expected to return to
Washington during the present scs-
sion. He had planned to leave there
about the LIST of May and not return
until next winter, and now that he is
called away he will not think it worth
while to come back. This will make
Mr.. Thurman the presiding officer for
the remainder of the session. Mr..
Wheeler's going away has interfered
somewhat with the reorganization Of
the force in the office Of the Secretary
Of the Senate, and perhaps also in the
office Of the Sergeant-at.Arms. These
officers have completed their plans fol
making numerous changes in their
respective offices, and in accordance
with the rules of the Senate they pro
pose to submit their lists of appoint
ments to Mr.. Wheeler for his super
vision. They have consulted him hith
erto in regard to the subject and would
have settled the matter with him to-
day. The installation Of Senator Thur
man as President pro tenn. puts the su
pervision of the proposed official re
movals and appointments in his hands
and rather spoils the arguments o.
the stalwarts that tho Democrats in
the Senate would have to yield TO the
wishes of Mr., Wheeler in regard to ap
pointees.

AN ALARMED PArRIoT.--Tbe editor
of the Huntingdon Globe manifests his
claim in this way:
while speaking In the Senate on the admission
Of Mr.. Bell as Senator from New Hampshire, Ben
Hill said, "If the Governor Of New Hampshire
Senate" Then suddenly remembering himself,
be corrected the slip Of the tongue amid Taught
Yet, Ia the presence Of ninsteen ex rebel soldier,
be was merely speaking the sober truth.
Senator Hill, besides being an able
statesman, is also good joker. In
associating with Radical Senators, he
finds but little use for his talents in
the former relation, but he has lots Of
fun with them in the former sense. II
is said that If two Of "the Confederate
Brigadiers" happen to blow their noses
at the same time, onc-half the Radical
Senators jump TO their feet for the
purpose of running off; and it is evi.
dent from the foregoing that the
Huntingdon mans feminine feelings
have been awfully worked up over
Ben. Hills joke. We hope the Monitor
man will see that our mutual friend
and cotemporary is properly set up
with, should he be suddenly unnerved
and stricken down,

The DIFFERENCE IN PRIcE.--The
Centre Democrat, in speaking of recent
developments, says: according to
the late Secretary of tho Senate, in
his testimony before the Wallace CON-
mittee, It cost sl50,000 to elect the l22
Republicans TO Congress who now
vote TO MAINTAIN o standing army to
terrorixe and control honest voters at
the polls This money was squeezed
out Of the ofiicc-holders, with Hayes
and SchurE's contest II cost over q
quarter Of a million besides that for U.
s. Marshals and Supervisors. This
amount was stolen from the taxpayers
by order Of Devens and Hayes. On
the other hand, to put the 148 men in.
to Congress who voted last Saturday
for free ballot and unintimidated
elections, it cost less than $4,000, &C.

principles. Carefully studied, there
will be found 10 be much food for
thought in these simply stated facts. "

finding and captiousness. A contem-
porary says: Senator Blaine in his
speech made q great outcry against
the Democratic party in Congress for
putting ex.Cenfederates at the head
of committees. Senator Beck, when

manships which Blaine, the Speaker Of

tried parry the blow by saying in the

MAD, oy CouRsr.-Some Of the Rad.
ical leaders are highly incensed over
tho verdict rendered by the Military
Commission in the case Of Gen. Porter,
because he saved the Federal army
from capture at the second Bull Run
battle, under Pope. Those who for
twenty years previous declared against
the Union by proclaiming through
their newspapers and from the stump,
"No Union with slave holders" feel
mighty mean because the Union was
not divided, as they contemplated il
would be if they could bring about o
civil war. The war came, and has
been over for fourteen years. Still the
Union is undivided much to their NOR
ti6cation. Hence, the revelations in
the Porter case are particularly annoy.
ing TO the Radical disunionists.

WHEELER CLEANED 0uT.-The Rad
ical Senators die hard. Tboy kick,
strike and blow, but they eventually
come down just like Davy Crockctt's
coon. A few days ago Senator Wal
lace introduced a resolution in that
body in effect giving the Secretary and
other minor officers Of the Senate the
right to appoint their subordinates, in
stead Of consulting the de faeto Wheeler
who draws the salary Of the Vice Pres
ident, although never elected. Some
of the Radical Senators nearly disem
boweled themselves while discussing
the revolutionary resolution" but il
passed nevertheless, and gold keep,

"a member of large church-got

had their little faults, such as driving
bargains, screwing the laborer down
to low wages, loaning money at illegal
rates, misrepresenting articles they
had for sale, etc But they were a
good people and pressed the lawyer to
come before the church meeting to own
to bis sin Of taking glass too much,
for they were temperance people be-
tore temperance societies existed. The
sinner finally went to the confession ;

THEJURY QUESTION.

One Of the most infamous measures
placed on the Federal statute book by
the Radicals is that which excludes
nine cut Of every ten tax payers IRON
the jury box, in tho United States
Courts throughout tho Southern States.
The Democrats in Congress have TAX
en- steps to repeal this war measure,
and il so annoys "the loyal millions OF
the North" that the leaders are nearly
ready TO start another rebellion-by
substitutes. The editor OF the Phila-
delphia Times, in alluding to this in.
fanny, says
"The duties of organs are most hu'
initiating these days. The Republican
policy of reconstruction made the re-
stored insurgent citizens eligible to any
office from the Presidency down to
tide water, but left them ineligible as
Jurors in the United States Courts
Postmaster General Key can sit in O
Republican Cabinet General Long
street can hold o Federal Post Office
Colonel Mosby can be Consul at Hong
Kong, and Judge Settle can preside
over Federal Court; but none O
them could sit on jury. Ninety-nin'
of every hundred citizens Of the South
who own property and have the larg
est interests in the administration o
justice, are excluded from the jury box
while the most ignorant and charac
terless, many OF whom think of pos
sessing property only as they steal il
are the class who must render verdict
lin the Trr;.ad State. cs-.ts. r.oSi
dent Hayes does not conceal his will
ingness to assent to the Justice Of th
repeal of the provision that was ex
cusable in the early days of reconstruc
tion, but the revolutionary partisan
leaders in Congress are yelling abou
rebels on juries and the organs mus
follow the leaders. The truth is tha
no Senator, Representative or publ
journal making any pretentions to sell
respect or to any appreciation of jus
tice, can insist that Judge Settle shoul
administer the law from the benc
while he would be ineligible to dscid
case as a juror under the instruction
from the court, or that Judge Ke
; might sit in Republican cabinet Will
he could not be sworn as juror in
court of justice. Weak organs WI
pipe on in that way, but as they hav
no selfrespect or influence to lose,
E matters not. Congressman who are
g be judged somewhat as Statesmen
9 however, should pay some Difference

tion of the laws"
