BOURBON Botches" is the appropriate
heading used by the Chicago Times to char
acterize the record it prints of current Dem
ocratic proceedings in Washington.
SOMETHING must have broken. The Gin
einnati Gdzetteis authority for the statement
that Colonel LEN HARRIS declines to link
his fortunes with the EWING campaign. 1t
now looks as if the thing wouldn't hold to-
gether until the election.
NEXT to the appearance of JEFF DAVIS
IN the Senate the temporary disappearance
Of Senator EDMUNDs from his seat in that
body brings the greatest Joy 20 the average
Bourbon heart. But EDMUNDs will return,
and JEFF DAvIs-well, we shall see what
we shall see.
As ANDERSON was transferred from the
witness stand to immediate service on the
Democratic organ here, after he had un-
loaded his lies, it is not unreasonable TO
suppose that the latest importation of Lou
isiana liars will share like fate, unless the
lying corps of that concern is already full.
THE beginning of the new fiscal year is
upon us. Little more than fortnight re-
mains, during which existing Government
appropriations will be in force. But during
that time the onfederate-Democratic back
down will be completed and the starving
out process will be adjourned indefinitely.
SENATOR HILL was very unfortunate in
his attempt to fay Senator BLAINE day be-
fore yesterday. His performance reminds
one of the awkward, olden-time thresher,
who was quite rs likely TO hit his own head
MS the threshing-1oor with his fail. HILL
has gathered no laurels from this contro-
yersy.
THE Sandusky Register takes some excep-
tions TO our suggestion that Secretary
SHERMAN shall antagonze General EWING
Oh the stump in Ohio, and we accept the
exceptions without adopting the reasons.
Ohio politics, we notice, are among the oc-
cult sciences, and we fail to comprehend
them in all their relations and personal
Tamifcations. We pass.
THE Democratic organ still insists that the
Confederate Brigadiers are not inimical to
the interests of the ex-soldiers Of the Union
army 1t is nevertheless a fact that a score
or more of those veteran patriots have been
ousted from the offices they held under
Congress to make places for the immediate
friends of these same Brigadiers, Verify, as
the organ itself remarks, "JIM ANDERSON
"must give up the belt"
IT appears that Minister WHITE has al
ready been inducted into the active duties
of diplomacy in his new position at Berlin.
He is now engaged in negotiations with the
German Empire for the settlement of dis
putes arising out of alleged violations of the
rights of certain naturalized citizens of the
United States, 1t is gratifying TO know
that this negotiation is in competent
hands.
THE probabilities are against an adjourn
ment next Tuesday the possibilities being
that Congress will remain in session for a
week or ten days longer. 1t is to be hoped,
however that they will get away very soon.
The people with one acclaim will mark that
day whose low, descending sun goes down
upon the vanishing Brgadiers as n red-let-
ter day-the better the day the better the
deed, SO TO speak.
THE opposition in the Senate against the
army bill is characterized by the Democrats
as n GRANT boom, In fact every move
ment in politics nowadays having for its
object the free, untrammeled and equitable
enforcement of the laws is a GRANT boom in
their estimation. In other words, the sim.
pie name of GRANT is Synonymous, in theiI
vocabulary, with a fair and unprejudiced
administration of the Government,
HERE is a rich specimen of journalistic
nrcasm, which we find in the Augusta
ChrOnicie and Sentinel;
Senator MATT CARPENTER has returned from
Florida, looking very badly II is said tina
he is killing himself by excessive smoking o
strong cigars. The Wisconsin Senator is one
the most intellectual Of men, but wanting il
the lofty morale that makes BAYARD uniyer
ally respected and THURMAN a tower O
strength,
BAYARD and THURMAN playing statuary
OH "lony nordie" pedestal is decidedly
rich aud sarcastic,
THE precedents during President JOHN
sons administration in the matter of the
rejection of Executive nominations by the
Senate are not pertncntly applicable to the
present situation. But even If they were
the Democratic criticisms Of the partisan
course Of the Senate during that period
would sound very strange If repeated Just
now in connection with the pending nomi'
