CONKLING-LAMAR.

II is said that Senator Lamar has been well
coined at his home in Mississippi az "the de-
"fender of the South against Northern SLAM
"der.n This tribute is paid him, we presume,
because Of the fact that on a recent occasion,
in the Senate, he thrust himself Extensively
and impertinenty forward as having been
personally aiironted by a not unreason-
able criticism of the action of ais party
and vulgarly denounced IL statement made
on the floor as a falsehoOd, while ex-
pressing his "unmitigated contempt" for
its author. 1t is this, and his clinching of the
unmannerly outbreak with the addition that
his charge was such as no good man deserved
and no brave man would wear, that cOnsti-
tute him, in the eyes of his constituents, " the
"defender of the South against Northern
Islander" Stated briefly and cOmpactly, he
goes home wearing the honor of having
charged Northern Republican Sena-
tor with being in the first place
a liar and in the second place a
coward for not resenting the insult
This is his decoration. For this he is
welcomed and applauded. Doubtless to the
average Democratic mind of Mississippi it
seems very heroic thing to have done, and
Mr.. Lamar is in their esteem much more of a
statesman for it than for anything else he has
said or done in his public career. He was
applauded once before, but not by his con-
stituents. When he spoke kindly of Sumner,
IT was the North that rose to him with
generous enthusiasm, while Mississippi sat
sullenly and made no sign. Now he has re-
trjeyed that slip; he has regained the con-
fdence of his people. They will pardon his
eulogv of the dead Senator for his insult to
the living one.
Well let them make much of it. To citi-
zens of cooler chimes the performance seems
hardly to deserve such distinguished ree0gni-
ton but tastes, rs well as theories of govern
ment and notions of craftsmanship, differ. We
only embrace the opportunity of this demon
stratlon to point out a fact which seems not
vet to have dawned upon the Mississippi mind.

Tainted with the barbarism and savagery OF
that regime, and the bully skilled with the
pistol was often enabled thereby to drag into
n deadly encounter in the field the opponent
whom he had failed TO overcome by argument
i'm debate. Even at the North IL was hall
thought that Member Of Congress or Sena-
tor lost caste if when given the lie or insulted
he did not reply with n challenge while at the
South, then as now, to be posted as coward
for unreadiness to shoot and be shot at, was
the end of mans usefulness, and the utter
loss of character, standing and reputation.
We beg the attention of the Mississippi adj
mirers of Senator Lamar to the indications OF
a great change in the public mind In this re-
gard. When the defender of the South
BUSTED forward so abruptly, denouncing Mr..
Conkling's statement as falsehood, ana ex-
pressing his unm;tigated contempt" for that
gentleman, he openly invited quarrel ana q
challenge. lie showed that he meant to pro-
yoke it by bis subsequent remark, and all ms
after conduct indicated that he expected the
dispnte would eliminate in that. Mr.. C0nkling
disappointed him. From his somewhat
ample vocabulary he readily drew reply In
kind. sent il back and cIncbed 1T. Whatever
excitement there was after that, was in the
breasts of Mr.. Lamar and his friends-the ex-
pectancy of something further. But Mr..
Conkling was through. He coolly asked for
the order of business and for the remainderof
the night and ever since has gone on rs though
nothing unusual had happened. There was
much talk among Mr.. Lamar's friends about
the probabilities of duel, and upon whom
the challenge deyolved, and all that sort OF
nonsense, very much as though the Code was
still recognized and there had been no change
in public sentiment about it. But outside OF
that circle there was no excitement nor any
expectation of a duel. There was no
excitement on that score among Re
publicans in Washington or anywhere at
the North. Mr.. Conking was not ex-
pected to challenge anybody or accept
anvbody's challenge. He did not need to
express in words his unmitigated contempt
for his assailant He did it much better by
his silence about him. And we do not suppose
that even Mr.. Lamar's friends will say they
believe Roscoe Conkling is a coward on ac-
count of 1t.
1t was not pleasant episode. But there Is
this comfort to be taken from it, that 1t
shows we have made some progress since the
old d,vs of hullyinp and duelling.

AB4FFLED CONSPIRACY.

The result of the extra session of Congress is
now definitely known. Whether the adjourn
ment comes sOoG or late, 1t is settled that
there is to be no change in existing laws.
The Election laws will stand. Whatever
mower has existed for the prevention OF fraud
will still exist, and the laws will be neither
repealed nor emasculated. The Army, also,
will remain under the control of a President
armed with all the constitutional powers for
the enforcement of the laws. Every power
that President Hayes or his predecessor has
had, to employ the Army and Navy III the SUP
preston OF resistance to law, and III The pro-
lection of civil officers in the discharge of
their duties, President Hayes will retain to
the end of his term. So much is settled. The
conspiracy of the Democrats to capture the
next election by force and fraud, so far as it
depended upon any change OF the laws, is
beaten already.
The Democrats DO not yet confess a final
defeat. Their backing down from the posi-
ton taken and the threats uttered when the
extra session was made necessary, and again
Mt the opening of that session, has indeed
been complete; no change whatever has been
or will be made III the laws which they re-
solved in caucus to wipe ont. As to the pres
ent session, they confess defeat but they still
declare that they will renew the contest at
the beginning of the regular session in De-
cember. But this they could have done with
out refusing appropriations in February, or
making an extra session necessary. OF what
use has been this long and costly session, the
country will ask. What excuse was there Tor
it. il the contest could after all have been
postponed until the regular meeting III De-
cember next7 The practical people OF this
country have a wholesome contempt for so
called statesmen who make desperate efforts
To do impossible things at unnecessary times,
thus involving great expense and long turmoil
without any practical excuse. BY adJournlng
the contest, as the Democrats OF the Senate
have resolved that they must, they confess
that the public contempt has been richly de-
served.
But they know that a renewal of the strug-
ole next Winter VIII not help them. No
change in the laws is possible even then.
The President has taught them what they
ought to have known from the outset. that
enactments cannot be defeated by mere re-
fusal to make appropriations. He has given
