had the courage to make parliamentary OBJ
lection he was Immediately surrounded by
friends of the bill from both sides of the
House, and in few instances only was the
member resolute enough to persevere in his
objection. All the Republicans and Green
hackers voted in the negative on the adjourn
ment resolution.
The Democrats early in the session boosted
of economies which they had accomplished,
and among other things claimed to have re-
duced the salaries of the House employees ten
per cent. The action of the Democrats to-
day was q singular commentary on this one
pretended economy and on the whole system
of bumbug measures which are claimed as
Democratic reforms. 1t was true the salaries
of the House employees in some instances
were reduced ten per cent. below the sum
paid for similar services in the Senate yet the
House to-day by unanimous Democratic
vote, gave gratuity to all the employees on
the annual roll of an additional months pay,
giving them thirteen months pay for the year,
during only six months of which, at the most,
these employees are on an average employed.

admit that this proposition was really to vote
thirteen months salary for twelve months
work, and half of that vacation. This Dan
Voorhees, thought was mock heroism, and
Bayard and Thurman came in to help him.
Yebit is probable that the Democrats in their
stump speeches will still insist that an econ
omy of ten per cent was effected in the sala-
ries of the House employees. The claim will
be fraudulent
There was another expedient to which re-
cource was had. The Sergeant. alarms has
employed number of person without author
ity of law, relying upon the Democrats to
pay these employees. Among them were some
gentlemen who have been very useful to the
Democracy as whippers-in, go-betweens, and
in many curious capacities Resolutions to
pay nearly all of these were finally forced
through the House, the drafts to be honored
by the contingent fund.
Finally the rapacity of the Democrats be-
came SO great that their leaders were forced
to compel the House to take recess of an
hour and a half in order to protect the Treas
ury. Assembled again at 4 o'clock, similar
attempts were made, and a number of other
clerks and persons unlawfully employed re-
ceived gratuities from the reformed Democra-
cy.
Finally, at o'clock, with n graceful word
of recognition to the House for its uniform
courtesy although the customary resolution
of thanks to the Speaker was forgotten,
Speaker Randall dropped the gavel and de-
clared the first session of the Forty-sixth
Congress adjourned without day.

The extra session is ended, and the Presi-
dent has appealed from Congress to the peo-
pie, The closing afternoon was entirely with
out event in the Senate except perhaps the
speech of Senator Window, in which he stat
ed the Republican position, and closed the ar
gument that has lasted for nearly four months
on the Republican side. The Senator from
Minnesota presented the facts in strong,
matter of-fact way, that can but have an ef-
feet upon the thinking men of the country.
There was an interesting debate in the
Senate ON the removal of the duty from quin-
inc, aud the bill placing that medicament on
the free list was passed and signed by the
President.
The House was intent upon one object to-
day, which was to act upon the proposition
for adjournment from the Senate at the ear
lest possible opportunity. 1t was received
with cheers and passed with applause, and
the leaders appeared pleased to be relieved
from a disagreeabe situation In the early
part of the day, before the adjournment reso-
luton reached the House, there were several
votes more than a quorum, but from the mo-

As soon the adjournment was fixed there
WAS a scramble in the House TO secure the
floor and large amount Of business was done
by unanimous consent 1t was curious to no
tice the effect of the rapid approach of the
close of the session. Measures which would
have taken an entire day, possibly, for their
consideration at any other time, were passed
by unanimous consent and If any member

The Boston Transcript: Ex-Secretary
Borie, who has just returned from a long
tour with General Grant, while saying dis
tinctly that political affairs were not subject
of conversation between them in their travels,
asserts very emphatically that the general has
no intention of allowing himself to be used as
"A shOw-card by any American politicians.
Borie means well, but is something of a bore.
He thinks that because his small circle favor
third term, the people will press General
Grant into the service as presidential cand-
date next year. By extending his outlook he
would see that the dan ger of such an untow-
ard event is daily diminishing

The mississippi plan, as the method was
styled by which the negroes were driven and
scared from the polls in that state in 1879,
has just been made public by a quarrel of
two of tine Democrats who had hand in its
execution. The ''plan" was put into sever
est operation in Yazoo county, and SO effectu-
ally that its vote was changed from 2499 Re
publican and G3S Democratic in 1872 to Re
publican and 4O44 Democratic in 1879. A
mob led by P. J. Mccormick and II. NJ. Dix
on killed Patterson, Republican member of
the legislature from that county at the time,
and robbed his corpse of large sum of mon
ey he was known to have on his person. The
change taking place in Democratic ranks at
the South has now arrayed Dixon and McCor-
mick in hostile political camps, Dixon run
ming as sheriff on the independent ticket
Dixon, having been charged with appropriat-
ing the money found on Patterson to his own
uses, lays bare the whole iniquity of the 1873
campaign He says the money was turned
iutO the regular Democratic campaign fund
and that $4,000 was paid to have the ballot
boxes stuffed, the party generally acquiescing
in the outrage and bribery.

The IssUE.-The issue made up in Con-
gress is reduced to fine point. Existing
laws authorize the appointment of deputy
marshals to keep order at elections. In some
cases these marshals have done good service.
In others the power to appoint them has been
abused, and the wages paid TO them have
been a corruption fund for party purposes.
The Democrats, who lose by it, wanted to re-
peal the law. The Republicans, who gain by
it, refused. The President vetoed the re-
pealing bill The Democrats thereupon re-
fuse to appropriate any money to pay the
marshals and their deputies for any service.
This goes TO the country Are the Demo-
Gratis justified in refusing to make legitimate
appropriation in accordance with existing
laws, because they were not strong enough to
change those lawsY The court of appeal is
practically the northern people-leaving the
solid South" out. What viii be the verdict
in this court We think it will be against
the Democrats. The abuses of deputy mar
shals at elections have not been SO grave as
partisan cheating and "bulldozing." The
northern people will not believe that any
marshal has ever prevented a citizen from
voting as he pleased. They do believe that
great many people have been prevented
from voting and cheated out of their votes in
the count by partisan force and fraud. The
issue which the Democrats have made TO take
before a northern jury is bad one for them.
They have done all they can to help the Re
publicans -BOStOn Herald.

Just what the Democrats have gained by
this special session of Congress which closed
on Monday is not evident to the average COM
prehension. They have been obliged to pass
the executive and legislative, the army, and
the Judiciary appropriation bills in a form in
which the President could approve them, not
withstanding their threats in the beginning,
and, as a sort of parting blessing, they have
been sent home with veto of the bill pro-
viding for the payment of the United States
m arshals, on account of the Objectionable
riders attached. Their attempt to browbeat
and bulldoze the President has utterly failed,
and the only effect of the session has been to
demoralize the Democratic party, while the
Republicans have been Enthusiastically united
and consolidated.
