THE NEW REGIME AT WASHINGTON
Prom the Albany Journal

FROM tue AiDkhg SVhihAisl
II great change which is to take place
upon the meeting of the new Congress.
The eulogy OF JEFF Davis, and his being
compared with Washington, in the Senate
Chamber, foreshadow one phase or the
present condition OF affairs. The defiant
attitude OF the Democrats in the House,
wherein they propose to block the very
wheels OF the Government, unless they are
permitted TO cheat, bulldoze and stuff bal
iot-boxes to their hearts content, without
any Federal eye to report their doings,
marks another phase, while the present I'M
heard-of rush for all the petty places in the
Senate indicates another. The people OF
the North will go straight to the marrow
OF all these matters in their estimate OF
them. They now have no quarrel with Jeh
Davis, but the spirit and temper which
prompt United States Senator's 10 mention
him i'm the same breath with Washington
cannot fail to be sternly denounced and
by every true man.
