fulness. All this has been done by the Re
publican party.
The sneer of the Democracy at the cap
"tnins" and "colonels who fill positions
in the Government is perfectly natural es-
pecially when they wore the blue and did
service under the old flag That party APP
pears to have little or no respect for an
officer or soldier who took part in the war
TO crush the rebellion on the Union side.
The Democrats can and do sncer at those,
while at the same time they are lauding
and honoring in public position those who
fought on the Democratic side, clad in the
grey, and followed the stars and bars into
the forefront of the battle which was waged
against the Union.
If any Of the latter class have been placed
in position, either in the executive or legs-
lative branches of the Government, while
places there at the instance of and at the
urgent request of Democrats. However, the
number thus favored has been compara-
lively few, and these, in nine cases out Of
ten, only out of Difference to the expressed
wishes of Democratic leaders. Fortunately
for the soldier who fought for the Union the
executive branches of the Government are
still in the hands of their friends, and they
will be, rs heretofore, cared for, 50 far az the
crippled condition of those departments will
admit. 1t is well understood that the stingy
policy Of a Democratic House toward these
Departments has reduced them to almost q
state of inelliciency by Withholding the
means necessary to secure and reward SER
vice. But now the Democrats have full
swing in the legislative branch of the Gov
ernment, and it is very easy matter for
them to verify the truth of the declaration
that the Democratic party is the party of
" the people, and, as such, it is bound by
"every tie of interest and sympathy to be
"true to the citizen soldiers of the Republic, y
and TO demonstrate whether or not in this
declaration it counts eX-Coniederotes and
Union soldiers alike within the line Of its
Interest and sympathy" or whether it re-
fers only to the ex-Conlederates Time and
opportunity will demonstrate the truth or
falsty of these gushing professions in the
hour of triumph.
The Senate of the United States has just
begun to make history to match the decla-
rations of the Democratic organ, and thus
far all the important positions, except that
of the Sergeant-at-Arms, are filed by ex-
Contederates This shows very clearly
where Democratic "nterest and sympa-
thy" lead in the earlier stages of the re-
version of power. Time will in no degree
improve the record. One thing is evident
no North beyond the limits of Indiana.

THE FIDELITY OF HISTORY.

When the Republican party had full sway
in the Capitol nearly all the Offices Of any con-
siderable importance were given 10 men who
staid at the rear. Most Of the "colonels " and
captains" on the pay-roils Of both Senate
and House got their titles in the home-guard
service or as honorary members Of the stalls
of State exccutives.-P0st,
It is a little unfortunate for historian to
attempt to chronicle events without under
standing the facts, unless it is his mission
to violate the fidelity of history. The Re-
publican party has steadily rewarded inn
portaut military service during the war to
crush the rebellion with public position
since the close of that struggle, giving pre-
ference to the soldier, all things being equal.
OF course all the positions could not be
given TO soldiers any more than that all
soldiers are qualified for all positions in
government; but TO convey the idea that
the Republican party has been unmindful
or neglecttul of those who saved the na :
tional life against Democratic rebellion is
TO pervert the truth and falsiry history.
Upon the earliest opportunity the Republic
can party made the General Of the Army,
to whom LEE surrendered the sword Of re-
bellion, President of the United States, be-
cause he was eminently fitted for the posi-
ton. The Executive Departments have
many officers and soldiers of the Union
army in positions of honor and trust,
while brave men, who carried the musket
aud who are manned and unnamed, fill
subordinate positions with credit and USE

A FEW days since we published an article
from the Oklahoma Miss Southern States, in
which, in its cxuberanCe of joy, it eX-
claimed: "Yes, thank GoD we have the
" Capitol;' y and pledging its sacred honor
that those who now have the Capitol "will
" proceed to tear your amendments from
" the Constitution and trample them in the
mire." Since that gush the Democrats
have undertaken to deny that the Southern
States is representative journal, insisting
that it does not utter the real sentiment of
the South. To show the absurdity of such
q claim for il we have Democratic authority
The Hon. ]. r. CLYNGER, of Ohio, leading

THE Republican Senators and Repre-
seutativcs are now insolently advised that
if they desire short session of Congress
they must tamely submit to the will of the
majority and yield cheerful acquiescence to
any wrong they may attempt to perpetrate.
Then, of course, everything will be serene
and lovely. We shall see whether the
nation is TO be handed over to the tender
mercies of its enemies without proper
show of resistance. We seriously doubt if
there will be full and volunteer surrender
on demand.

THE first Democratic Congress the coun-
try has been blessed with in nearly
twenty years is now fully organzed but
the fear of blundering and of the effects of
its peculiar craftsmanship upon the people
prevents that distinguished body from ma
terializing its pent up and intangible bless
ings in the form of mature legislation. So
long as this CONSTRUCTED situation lasts, how
ever, the country will be satisfied to foot
the bills, assured that the better part of
economy is to pay these statesmen for do

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL's open letter of
explanation and apology, which has ap-
peared, contends that his legitimate in
debtedness does not exceed Sl,0O0,000, and
that the savings deposits with him do not
exceed half million dollars. The Arch
bishop further contends that the aggregate
liabilities have been swelled by adding COM
pound interest, which is not to be allowed.
Perhaps not but the Archbishop cannot be
unmindful of the fact that had these funds
beon deposited in savings banks in Ohio,
the half-yearly interest would have been
credited on their books, and would there
after have drawn interest. The depositors
only ask this, and it is very doubtful if he
can escape the claim under established
usage. This whole matter is to be deeply re-
gretted both on account of the Archbishop
and his people,who have confded in him so
largely. Money is said to be the root of all
evil, and it certainly has been the root of
much evil TO the good name of this eminent
prelatc. Religion and finance cannot be
safely allied to each other very extensively
