Special To the Tribune.
WASHINGTON, April 30.--Nine employees of
various grades in the office of the Sergeant
alarms of the Senate received verbal notice
this afternoon that their services would not
be required after to-day. Among the number
were the postmaster of the Senate, Mr.. w
+. Creary, who served as an officer in the
army during the entire war; g. W. Smith
an eX-Union soldier, who was taken prisoner
and confined for eight months in Libby and
other Southern prisons; and Charles Bridges
also an ex-Union soldier, who was severely
wounded in battle
These gentlemen, together with the other
six who received notice of dismissal to-day.
are removed for no other reason than because
their places are wanted. 1t is probale that
their successors will be drawn chiefly from
among those who served in the armies of the
Confedcracy. Last Friday several men were
discharged from the office of the Secretary
of the Senate, among the number being
Henry +. Fi,z, an ex-Union soldier, and Ma
jor Cummins, an cx-officer of the Union
army,
These removals serve to illustrate the
worthlcssness of Il formal democratic prom
ise even when made with all the publicity of
a Senatorial debate. When Senator EdnuudS
moved. the other day. to amend the Wallace
resolutions SO that no employees of the Senate
who had served in the | nion armies should
be discharged, except for cause stated i'll writ
ing and approved in writing by the President
of the Senate the democrats made a show of
Indignation because Of the implication that
they could be guilty of such a thing Senator
Wallace, the recognized spokesman of the
democratic caucus. and the nominal sponsor
for the very resolution under which the mat
ter was to be governed, said that such pro-
vision was unnecessary and that his party
had nc intention of dischargng ext Mon sol
diers. Although this amendment was lost.
this formal and undisputed declaration of
Senator Wallace was received rs pledge on
the part of the democracy that this class of
employees was at least safe.
Among the men discharged from the office
of the Sergcanta at Armes to-day, was Mr..
Goliath brother of the late President
Wilson. ay-haired gentleman who has for
many years filled position as doorkeeper to
one of the Senate galleries.

Coming Down.

After all the brave words of the demo-
Gratis about Withholding the supplies, they
are backing down and will pass the appro-
priation bills. The advice of most of THEN
leading organs is that they had better yield
must yield if they do not mean TO des-
troy their party. The vote in the House
Thursday on passing the army bill over
the veto. shows a weakness in the back
bone of the democratic members, wonder
fully in contrast with the appearance of
stiffness which it presented at the begin
ming of the extra session. The bill origin
ally passed the House by vote of l4s to
l22, showing a majority of 26 in favor
of the bill. The vote on Thursday
was l20 to 10. only a majority
of 10 in favor of passing it, with 40
less voting than on the first OCCASION
There is no doubt that this is the largest
vote which can he secured in the House to
make radical opposition to the veto. Two
thirds of the greenbackers who voted for
the bill at first are now in favor Of passing
it without the political riders and "A sufficient
number of democrats will Join them TO in
sure the passage of the bill in that shape.
The action of the Senate will disclose
similar weakness on the part of the orig
inal supporters of the bill. If Mr.. Davis

publican side. 1t would also be against
the principles of his party to vote twice
upon the same side. as that would inevita-
bly, destroy his equilibrium and thrust him
from his roost upon the fence. Mr.. Davis
may be safely counted on the next vote
upon the republican side, and there are
several democratic Senators beside who
will not go to the extreme of refusing ap
preparations to run the government
The remarks of the Maine democratic
papers upon the veto indicate that they
are in a savage and unhappy mood over
the result. They need large dosing with
soothing syrup. 1t is trulya hard case to
be obliged to swallow all the valiant words
they have uttered about sticking until "the
crack of DOOM against passing any ap-
preparation whatever if the President
thrust a veto upon them, but far worse is
it to see what black thunder cloud the
extra session presents to darken the dem
ocratic prospect for 1850. If democrat
would not be savage and discouraged and
Inundated and crcst-iallen and chop-fallen
over this veto, he must be as blind rs a
bat and as stupid as donkey.

Truth from a Southern Source.

Northern democratic papers feel called up
on to charge upon the republicans the present
exodus of the coored people from Louisiana
and Mississippi to Kansas and to speak very
bitterly of them for melting the colored peo-
pie to leave their homes simply to spite the
Southern leaders and interfere with their
prosperity. But while the democratic organ
of the North is flashing itself into fury of
epithets about the republicans in this connec-
ton, let us read what moderate democratic
paper in the vicinity of the recent movement
has to say of the causes of the exodus. We
refer to the Memphis Avalanche, from which
the following extract is taken:
"There are in many isolated Southern com
munities awless elements whose chiefmis sion
is to keep alive the fires of partisan and sec
tional strife The chief objects of their per-
secution are the colored people, between
whom and the whites the Bourbon politicians
have been for ten years seeking to build up
an impossible wall of antagonism. The in
cendiary teachings of the Bourbon press and
politicians have furnished in great part the
material now feeding the emigration move
ment that so alarms the planters of the Mis-
sissippi valley. These presses and politicians
have taught only bitterness. They marked
for social prescription all who refused TO sub
nit without question to their partisan guild
ance. This became the partisan creed. The
brunt of their denunciations fell on the col
ored people The lawless classes. like those
the Brookhaven Citizen denounces, were but
too ready to begin the dastardlv work of per
secution. They found certain means Of sup
pressing the ballot. They inaugurated reigns

killing became necessary, and prcyed on
the fears of the unprotected blacks as to prac-
tically disfranchise them in every locality
where the buldozing programme was adopted.
And the Bourbon presses and publications.
instead of demanding protection for all classes
under the laws, pronounced all charges false
hoods, and, at least indirectly encouraged the
dastards to further deeds of violence. This
is the truth and the truth should be told.
The Bourbon journals are still ready as be-
fore, to deny; but it is fact known of all
men who choose to learn the TRUTH and whom
partisanship has not blinded.
The point has been reached where the roads
fork. The question is, which shall be trav-
eled! The question is whether the people in
terested in the material development of the
Mississippi valley shall take charge of public
affairs, retain the present laboring classes and
add to them, or whether, under the continued
reign of the professional politicians backed
up by the Bourbon press, the farest. richest
agricultural valley in the world shall be grad
ually converted into wilderness. Either the
people or the politicians who encourage the
bulldozers must go to the wall. That is the
issue. Which shall il be ~

From the reports that reach us we
judge that the manufacturing business in
Maine was never brisker than 1t will be
the present season. The cotton, wooden.
and other factories are in operation or
starting up. with large demands for their
products. The prospect of good season
for lumber manufacturers is better than
has been seen for several years And as

them alive and to make the people believe
they are terribly oppressed, and resump-
