WARM TIMES IN CONGRESS.

Anent the Lamar Conkling affair in Con
gress We endorse the animus shown by rhe
Emte,prtse, and are perfectly willing to see al
much reciprocal skull cracking as the Rebe
Democracy shall desire 10 precipitate upon
the floors Of Congress. 1t is high time that
secession should be fought with its own weap-
ons and tactics. The same old brow beating
spirit again shows itself, and Lamar seeks to
be It's exponent 1t is quite evident that in
the war Of words between himself and Conk-
hing he gained no advantages and that the
Senator from New York caused him 70 writhe
under bis polished and Inerciless invective
1t IL evident that Lamar and his crowd are
emblttered over the lamentahle failure Of the
Democratic ma prity in Congress to tie the
hands Of the government, as was done in Blu
chanans time, and we must expect nothing
much short Of assassinatiDns by way Of revenge
It's the old story. The South are trying again
to Mexicanize the Republic. But the loyal
sentiment in and out Of Congress, aided by
experience, is allowing the {: solid South no
advantages that can be withheld Treason is
met every moment by such resistance from
the Republican minority as shows wildly to
the nation both the secret and avowed objects
Of the Confederate Brigadiers In ilustra-
ton Of the grand defense that is being made
III Congress, let the noble words Of General
Logan be read and pondcred by every thought
ful, loyal citizen. In the debate on the Army
bill IN the Senate on June 20, Logan said:
am willing to let by-gones be by-gones,
but cannot be 80 80 long as the Democrats
are the lrrtators IN this country. You in |
dOrsed barbarIties that would make civilized |
nations shudder; you indOrsed conduct that !
was not according to civilized warfare, for at
tempts were made to discriminate the small |
pox and disease, and TO fire the Northern cit
les. You are not in position to tell us we
must stop talking about the war You cen
sure the Republicans for speaking Of what oc-
Cured during the war, and say we are trying
to hre the Northern heart | say, unless you
stop tins talk yourselves, we Will have a solid
North, and when the North becomes solid
again, it will be SOLID to remain go | do not
know what the President may do, and it is
none Of my business, but | am free to saw.
and | want my people to understand it, that
the only difference between this aud the re
peal positive Of laws IS, that one would be
the proper way Of legislating, and the other is
not. The effect is the same One repeats,
the other negatives. The man that votes for
this section to-day, must not explain to his
constituents that 1t amounts to nothing; that
1t only cuts off supplies for day. 1t means
the same as If it forbade the supplies for
year Whenever you will quit distressing the
people III your country, We viii respect you
heneVer you will protect the poor man as
'on do the rich man, and the coIored man as
'"u do the white man, we will respect you.
Such fiery words as these are necessary to
no" the country that the BrigaIier majority t
re trying to render the army powerless in it's +
Constitutional duty, under the orders of the Il
resident, to maintain free and honest Fed e
raj elections. Such is the issue that to day a
isturbs the Union and threatenens again the II
fe of the Republic. No wonder Lamar t.
ants to shoot somebody. Let him try his
aud on Logan. h
