WE doubt if General BUTLER, who has
had long career and wide practice as n
criminal lawyer, has ever had a case so en-
tirely in accord with his tastes and abilities
rs the one in which he is now engaged in
defending Mr.. CAMERON from the vile APP
proaches and assaults of the Widow OIL
YER. The circumstances involved the high
literary character of the correspondence,
and the refined modesty of the plaintiff, as
developed in the trial, all seem 10 contrib
ute to make the case unctious in the high
est degree TO the vein of mischief which
underlies the very nature of the eminent
barristcr who handles the defense.

THAT the Conlederates waltzed away
with all the honors and nearly all the Off
ces in the late reorganization Of Congress is
now an admitted fact. And ii is fact
which does not set well upon the political
stomachs of numerous Northern Democrats
who were ambitious to serve their country
in the soft places thus so greedily gobbled
up by their Southern brethren. Among
the few, however, who bear their defeat
with becoming grace is Colonel BROWN, of
Youngstown, Ohio, who was candidate
for the executive clerkship against
Colonel PEYToN, of LEES staff" But
Browns even temper had been rufIled on
Saturday by the suggestion of a wiscacrc
that PEYToNs election was all along a fore
gone conclusion. "How's that?' inquired
BROWN. why said his tormentor,
didn't you know that PEYToN had letters
" from JEFF DAVIS, SToNEwALL JACKSON,
"and WIRZ?' 1t is proper to explain, how
ever, that these letters, if they are in exist
ence, were not placed on file when, as it is
reported, Mr. PEYToN applied for a Fed
" eral appointment in New Orleans few
months ago.

THE average ex-COniederate is a man of
unbounded personal pride and self-conse-
quence He considers himself as good, if
not little better, than his neighbor which
he has a right to do; but the logical conse-
quence of this self-assertion is an aggressive
determination to push his political beliefs
upon the community at large, which he
also has a right to do, and when he does ii
honestly no one will complain, Still, there
is a deep-seated sentiment among loyalists
that the Coniederates, while they are re-
stored to power and the privileges of citi-
zenship, should not persist in pushing those
political beliefs for the support of which
they once forfeited that power and those

The extract from the Washington RE.
PUBLICAN quoted above, with the reply of
Mississippi paper which calls itself the South
eyn States, has been quoted by Republican pa
pers in Washington and telegraphed over the
North for effect. If it is genuine it only shows
that there are still Southern extremists WHO
are ambitious to occupy the role of purveyors
to the Republican party, as BANKS and POPE
supplied STONEWALL JACKSON with provisions,
or else that there are men who are willing to
deliberately furnish ire.eating articles ready
made at call. Whether it is folly or treachery
matters not. Such stuff has 10 political place
now. Indeed, a little folly has good effect,
for it serves to point the contrast between the
prevailing Southern sentiment and the opin-
ions of the few fools who are left TO fret them
selves out. Mississippi has large conserva-
tive population, and it is to be regretted that
her citizens should furnish the most of this
material, or that the Republicans should have
arrangements made for obtaining such material
from ississppi.-NdShcNe (TeRn) AmericaL
The Americm is the journal owned and
edited by Colonel BURCH, the new Secretary
of the Senate of the United States, and we
are gratided to find it breathing milder
atmosphere than characterzes its fre-eatng
cOtemporary of Mississippi. 1t evidently
has power Of suppression which the South
ern States has not. 1t covers its true in
wardness,' while the States is too hot to
conceal its gushing ardor, That is the diff
ference on the surface, while we do not
think that away down at the bottom there
is wide difference between these two
Southern journals. The Southern States
blurts out feeling of hostility toward the
Government and the North which the
american adroitly hides under caution
that the other does not possess. This may
be harsh judgment, but thus far our cxpe-
rience in dealing with the South has taught
us that, when boiled down, the residuum is
about the same.

THE ARKoGANoE OF POWER.

After some eighteen years of minority
experience, the Democratic party, on attain
ing to the estate of a majority in Congress,
have come to the deliberate conclusion that
the minority of that body have no rights
that the majority are bound TO respect. This
was made apparent in the Senate on Friday
last, when Senator WALLACE offered n reso
luton calling upon the Secretary Of the
Treasury to furnish the Senate with de-
States marshals in the States of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts,, and
Maryland, and the payment of wages or
fees charged for services performed by them
or their special deputies i'll relation to the
elections in November, 1873. Mr. CoNK-
LING moved to amend so as to include all
the States where marshals and supervisors
were employed. The admonition came
promptly from the Democratic side, Don't
accept it! But it was accepted.
Then Senator EDMUNDs gave great Of
fense to the majority by proposing another
paragraph to Senator WALLACE's resolu-
| tion, directing the Secretary of the Treasury
to give all the information in his possession
rs to the reasons why these marshals and
| supervisors were employed and the author
ity under which they were appointed. To
this the Democrats strenuously objected,
seeming to regard the proposition of Sena-
tor EDMUNDs as an improper interference
| with the purposes of the majority, if not an
act of absolute insolence. Senator SAULs-
| BURY, to use common phrase, got up on
his ear" at once, and rebuked the minor
| ity for their audacity in presuming to in
| terpose any views Of their own on the sub
| ject of legislation. He reminded the Re-
publicans that they are in minority, and
must deport themselves with becoming sub
mission to the will of the majority. lie put
on an imperious air and informed the mi
nority that the Democratic party is respon-
sible to the country for the conduct of af-
fairs and did not intend to permit any in
reference on the part of anybody.
1t is often so with narrow-minded men,
such as SHAKESPEARE referred to when he
said:
Man, proud man
| Drest in little brief authority
| Most ignorant of what he's most assured;
His CLASSY essence like an angry ape,
| Plays such fantastic tricks before high Heaven
As makes the angels weep.
The unseemly and arrogant conduct of
Senator SALISBURY called forth applause
from the ex-Confederates on the floor Of the
Senate and from their cldcquers in the gal
lery, but it did not escape n proper rebuke
from Senator EDMUNDs, who reminded the
imperious and offensive SALISBURY that he
hoped to see the Democratic party in the
minority before he himself ceased to be n
Senator. This little episode only goes to
show that in the first hour of their triumph
the Democrats forget the usual amenities of
the Senate Chamber, and assume the mien
of the slave-driver, if not Of the bully, to-
ward their peers who are now in the mi
nority. 1t further develops the fact that the
slave-driving spirit of ante belium times re-
turns to the legislative halls of this nation
with return of power to the Democracy.
The country should make note of this
fact.

THE majority of the Southern leaders
want the rights of individual States in
some things but not in others When 1t
comes to the public treasury they want as
much and even more, for local improve
ments, than the loyal people of the North
and West Had they the power they would
evidently spend millions Of the public
money in the Mississippi levees where the
next food would leave naught to mark the
spot where the money was expended. We,
however, are glad to see them acknowledge
the General Government in some things
even though they be little inconsistent in
making their demand, and we hope that
they will receive fair share of the public
money for internal improvements of n ma
| tional character, but not one cent for any
private schemes that would only benefit in
dividuals or contribute solely to the ad-
vancement of the State Rights idea. As
! companions interested in a common govern
ment we will share with them generously,
but for measures robbing the public treas
ury for the Lost Cause" idea we will not
share one cent, but on the contrary will op-
pose them to the utmost Of our ability and

IT is represented that we have Demo-
cratic majority in both branches of Con-
gress. Legally, or as to mere external form
of law, we have, and in this respect 1t is n
fact that cannot he denied; but morally we
have no more right to grant this than we
would TO admit that some thief is n rich man
simply because he happens to have much
stolen money in his possession. This So
called, and, to all practical purposes Demo-
cratic majority, is an insult to the great
Republic and to the moral justice of the
age. Yet here we are in the position that
the earnest Republicans have repeatedly
ioretold would, under the doctrine of the
"genteel" and conservative class, come to
pass The class of men at the North and
South who instituted the rebellion have
earnestly labored for peace (?) and share
in the administration of the Government
that they sought to destroy, and they
promise all sorts of happy results if they
can again be put in charge of the Gov
ernment, and threaten all sorts of mis-
chief if deprived of this honor; and all
the while they proclaim how good
they will be, that they will bury the past
and strive only for the public good. But
they no sooner get possession than they put
their best efforts forward to trample upon
all those laws that were necessitated by
their rebellious actions and force all the
Lost Cause" ideas possible into the minds
Of the people at large. Claiming honesty
they have resorted to the most contempti-
bic dishonesty and stupendous frauds in Or
der to hold the power of Legitimate maiorites
in both Houses of Congress. This is re-
markable era in the history of our Govern
