SENATOR BAYARD has usually been
considered above the ordinary partisan
narrowness and intolerance of his
party-not without some eommendable
patriotic impulses, and willing to be found
sometimes stemming the current of revo-
lutionary recklessness and ferooity, as in
the recent case of denouncing as revolu-
tionary, the scheme Of the party to force
the repeal Of all impediments to fraudulent
and illegal voting, or stop the supplies Of
the government. That was an honest and
patriotic impulse. But he proved 'pigeon-
ivered, and went back upon himself. In
other words party drill and subservience
found him too weak in the back, in view
Of the Presidential goal, and were too
much for him, and he surrendered uncon-
ditionally to the demands Of the solid
South. He turned short corner and now
goes with the noisiest demogogues of the
party in demanding the repeal Of the su-
pervisors' section Of the Revised Statutes,
or vote against necessary supplies for the
government. Thus the better Impulses of
Individual members of the party cannot
Withstand the party lash, and right is
crushed to earth, while wrong and wicked
ness flourish over them. But though an
honest difference OF opinion cannot be tol-
Grated, subserviency breeds contempt and
Bayard is done for.

The hOpefulness of the conciliation un-
dertaking of the President stands out in
bold relief in the light Of late congressional
proceedings. The Southern Democracy
are fine set of fellows in accepting polit-
ical advances, but they never grant any
thing. Since gaining control Of Congress,
they have shown a fereeness that threatens
to stop the wheels of government unless
every inpediment is removed and the larg-
est liberty is given to making sure Of the
success of their elections. Looking ahead
to the Presidential canvass everything is to
be put in order for securing Tilden or some
equally uuscrupulous person for the Ex-
ecutive Department. There is no differ
enee in the rampancy of the spirit Of the
present time from that which marked the
year of the Inauguration of the rebellion
and they are in a situation to make it more
Odious if possible. The capitol is garri-
soned by confederate brigadiers, and the
White House is in state of seige. The
President now sees that his overtures OF
Cancellation were pearls cast before swine,
and every Republican friend of the Presi-
dent cannot but see the folly of his attempt
to reconcile men who have no reconciliation
in their make up unless it came through
absolute power.

Secretary Sherman is doing big busi-
ness in the sale OF bonds, and the hard
times cry seems lily to compare with these
sales by many millions in a day. On the

fifty-nine millions. The annual saving ot
interest on this sum, by the change ot slAes
for fours, is computed al 81, 1886 OOO' Whicn

that this fact could be construed in some
wav into crum of comfort to our green

A national emigration aid society, with
the object of regulating the emigration
from the South to the West, has been or
ganized in Washington and dignifed by
the choice of a somewhat numerous Nation
al Executive Committee, consisting Of Sen
atO-s, Representatives, and other gentle
men. Senator Windham is the President.
This is a humane movement in behalf OF
the poor, fugitive, bulldozed freedmen.
But perhaps some Democrat will rise up
and undertake to swear that there never
has been any such thing as bulldOzing and
brutal tyranizing over the eOlOred people
of the South, and after denial-like our
logical friends of the Stdndard-call for
proof of the fact.

AmImy Brothers Keeper.

Long ago when first the human heart
strings felt the touch of deaths cold fingers
there lay upon the earth-shroudless and
cofinless remains-the first victim slain by
the hand of violence. His murderer fed,
but on his brow was fixed stain which
couldn't be erased. AS he fed a voice pur-
sued him to the wilderness saying Cain
where is thy brother? His response was
Am I my brothers keeper? That same
voice in thunder tones said to him, Thou,
art thy brothers keeper, and his blood
cries to Heaven against thee. Every stone
will find tongue to curse, and the winds

Our friend of the n. o. Journal contin-
ues the nse Of his nomenclature of Gen.
Garfield, as "James Annaniss." As Mr..
Chambers cannot but feel his own want Of
reputation and personal consequence to
give force or significance to such an ex-
erusisting name, his endowment of will
power and dogged endurance must be equal
at least to the measure Of his sanguinary
and malignant taste.

IL Is the custom, to some extent, in
counting the votes after an election to Sc
Iect from the ballot box a number of
straight votes and tally them up for the
sake Of dispatch. This affords opportunity
for fraud and is violation of law. The
statutes Of Ohio require that the tickets
shall be taken from the ballot box one at
a time, and the names upon such ticket
read and ''tsllied" up before another is
taken from the box.

The death Of Madame Bonaparte, in Bal
timore, on Friday the Sd inst, at the age
of ninety-four years, is notable from the
fact that she was probably the last person
who was in any way connected with orig
NAL members of the Bonaparte dynasty.
Her husband was Jerome Bonaparte, the
last survivor Of his family. He died in
1850 at the age of seventy-six years. His
marriage with Miss Patterson was annulled
by his brother, the Emperor, in 1905. and
he subsequently married daughter of the
King of Wurtemburg. The deceased was
the first wife

Ex-senator Cameron threatens to send
Mrs. Oliver to limbo for attempting TO

the charge, during the trial, that she was
led into it by her attorneys who were to di-

Thus, if both attorneys and cliant could be
dealt with, and each could have few
months time to ruminate behind the iron
network it might be productive of good to

Mr.. Baker, of Indiana, wanted the army
bill so amended as to make it unlawful to
have deadly weapOns-clubs, bludgeOns,
&C., on election day near the polls. The
catalogue of dangerous weapons should
have embraced quart bottles, or improvised
Bascom's groceries. These are more dam
gerous weapons on election day and cripple
more Democrats than any other. This
omission, probably, had something to do
with the amendment being ruled out of
order.

Men with purposes born Of earnest convic-
ton do not pose before the world for weeks
and tell in set speeches what they mean to

apply to the rebellion? Did we not have
all that bluster and brag of what the fire
eaters were about to do, for long months
before they were ready to carry it into ef
feet? Even when the overt act was made
no one believed that they was going to be
much of a shower-as asserted TO old Noah
by the fellow who couldn't get into the ark.
