SOMERSET, Pa. WEDNESDAY,. JUNE 4. 1879.
TaE country will be gratided /,

| THE country viii be grati6ed to
hear that both hoases of the State
Legislature have adopted joint
resolution, fixing June 9Th as the day
of final adjournment
DEMOCRACY is the same old six
pence it was before the war, but now
has bile through il, and bad nick
in the SIDE. The material is the same,
however
/ Nor Democrat has come for ward
yet to claim that chrome offered for
The man who has beea scared away
from the polls by 'bristling bay
onets." Yet the Democratic editor
still bowls.
MR FERNANDO WcoD in au un-
guarded moment admits that the
Democrats canno, carry New York
in 1850, unless the election laws are
repealed. This statement is not un-
likely TO set the country thinking -

THE Louisville Courier Journal
says OF the party that believes that
the Federal Government has some
rights "These gentlemen only want
the bayonet to be used where Re-
publicans are in the minority for OBJ
yious reasons" II might come to-
this, to be sure, for the only place
where il can ever be necessary tOl
employ force at The polls is where
Republicans are in The minority for
obvious reasonable obvious rea-
sons being either that they are not
permitted TO vote or that Democrats
vote with promplness aud too great
frequency.
SENATOR CHANDLER is over helm |
ed with letters thanking him for bis
speeches in The Senate, A business
man in Michigan wrote: Il see that
q Washington paper claims that you
were drunk when you went for the
fraud and violence patriots the
other day. If this is the wsy the
old thing works with you, Michigan
wants you to get drunk every day on
the same kind of whisky" Judging
from The hearty delight expressed
about the same speech in other parts
Of the country, this is the prevailing
Republican Sentiment.
ALL this wreiched business, which
has thoroughly disgusted the country, /
honorable Democrats aud Republi-
cans alike, rs the FIRST performance OF
a Congress Democratic in both
branches. If there were also q Dem
ocratic Executive, we should have
seen the remarkable spectacle OF the
6rst Administration after the war
which was controlled by the late
Copperhesds aud late rebels striking
at the Army of the United States in
a bill founded upon the doctrine of
secession, and defended by the same
arguments that Jefferson Davis urged
to justify rebellion. This is a fact
which should go very far toward tie
