used to secure honest elections. 1t is
the first instance in the history OF the
country where the pay of the United
States officers has been withheld by re-
fusal to pass the necessary appropria-
tions for fear part of their duties
may be to carry out United States
laws which the Confederate Democrat
cy do not approve. The Confederate
Democrats act upon the principle that
all laws that do not meet their APPROX
al shall not be carried into effect if
the want of an appropriation can de-
feat them. What can loyal and law
abiding people think Of a party that
resorts to such revolutionary methods
to carry their points. The whole OBJ
ject Of this extra session on
the part Of the Confederate
Democracy las been to do away
with all legal restrictions to secure
honest elections to enable them to car
ry the presidential election in 1880 by
frauds, being perfectly satisfied tina
an honest election in all parts of the
country would result in an over
Whelming Republican victory. Their
pretended objections to the use of Unit
ed States Supervisors and Marshals at
National elections will be used by
them, in case of a close election in
1880, to throw out the electoral vote
of all Republican States where they
have been used against the protest of
the leading Democrats.
The Confederates having a majority
in both branches Of Congress will I'M
doubtedly under some pretext count in
and declare the Democratic nominee
elected unless there is such an univer~
sal condemnation Of their course as to
afford them no excuse whatever for
pursuing such a course. [ have heard
it predicted that the next Inaugural
ton of President would not be accom-
plished WithouJ bloodshed. 1t would
not be a very strange occurrence to
witness under existing circumstances.
When we reflect that the men who
once stroye to destroy this Govern
ment control the counting Of the cleo
toral votes for the next President, men
who proclaim under all circumstances
that their cause was just and holy, and
from analogous reason the Union cause
tyrranical and unholy, when these men
find that they have failed to obtain the
victory Of their pet views through the
ballot box would it be at all strange if
they should resort to arms to prevent
the inauguration Of Republican Pres
dent?
The bill authorizing the Secretary of
War to use certain moneys appropriate
ed by act Of Congress approved March
3, 1879, "for the protection Of the high
sandbanks On the Chippewa River"
in the completion and protection of
improvements in and near the mouth
Of said Chippewa River has become a
