WAsmINGToN. March 2G, 1879.
THE DEMOCRATS NOT YET ORGANIZED.
The House held session of half an bour
and adjourned. 1t is not possible vet for the
democrats to organize. New difficulties arise
ever day. The position of the greenbackers
is an additional embarrassment The demo-
Gratis have certainly hoped that the greenback
ers would act with the Bourbons. In this
they are mistaken. All grcenbsckers, with
the possible exception Of two, will act with
the republicans in opposition to the repeal of
the Supervisor law.
A DEADLOCK REGARDED As INEyIrApIr.
This will make success of the BOurbons in
contest Of physical strength much less certain
Their majority ill then be reduced to three or
four. This will compel every democrat to be
present at every roll call In flibusteriny
contest which would be one Of the earliest
results Of a deadlock. the democracy would

selves. The republican minority, aided bv

could divide into reliefs, q, il
viii not be necessary to have more than forty
members present al one time. That uum-
Der would be all that would be necessary to
call the roll meantime the remainder could
be sleeping. But every democrat would be
required to be in his place at every vote, and
could have no opportunity for rest A dead.
lock appears inevitable, and the result i, is
impossible TO forecast. 1t is expected that the
radical Bourbon element in the democrscy
will gain control in the joint caucus. and
that the contest between the Legislative
branch Of the government and the Executive
will soon begin.

The following story about President Lin

he went to Washington he attended the Foun-
dry Church, occupying seat within the altar
while Bishop Simpson preached a missionary
sermon. Alter the collection was taken at
the close of the sermon, and as the congrega-

BILE brother rose and proposed to be one of IA
given number to raise one hundred dollars to
make President Lincoln life director of the
missionary society. The proposition was put,
and brothers, A, b and c responded glibly
But the inevitable pause finally came. Part
Of the mouey was wanting. When the Bishop
announced, "Who will take the balance -
the pause became slightly oppressive. Then
the tall form Of Lincoln was seen TO rise, a
long, bony arm was extended imploringly.
and he said. Bishop, this is the first time
have ever been placed upon the auction block
Please let me pay the balance myself, and
take me down"

The Hartford Courant states that there is
throughout New England very complete and
extensive organization of professional horse
thieves. Some livery stable keepers have a
close connection with the gang, their ostensibe
business being merely kept up to deceive the
public. Others of fair reputation wink at the
traffic, because it enables them to buy stock
cheap. Some facts that have been learned
in connection with the matter show the ex-
tensive and profitable character of the rob
beers. Some months since Christopher Car
ter, a notorious thief was arrested in Provi-
dence for horse stealing, and was sent for a
term 10 the Connecticut State prison. He
had operated all over New England and kept
a regular account of his transactions, from
which it appears that during the season of
1873 he stole ninety horses, on which he real
lied nearly $4,000, the sales being great
deal below market rates

The Gray Above the Blue.

Such was q title Of leader in the Journal
of the oath, and no one could read it, who
took part in the Union cause, during the war,
without feelings of sadness arising when those
terrible days were recalled
What a spectacle to behold Nine
teen members of the United States
Senate, fifteen years ago, were bearing arms
under the flag Of treason, against the life of
the Republic On the other hand among the
members Of that body, only four are to be
found who were in the Union Army Why
all this? In the language of Tennyson, "Some
one blundered," and it would not be time
spent amiss for us all TO pause for a while in
order to reflect over the situation. Much of
all this comes from the evil engendered
through the shilly shaly nonsense, in the cry
of amnesty and reconciliation. the weakening
of some of the great leaders in the cause of
freedom, like Chase, Greedy, johnson and 9TH
ers, who having participated in great cause,
at the point when the labors of lifetime
were about to eliminate in glorious triumph
for all they had contended for, turned their
backs upon their past record. Such men
and their worshippers led to the extremely
conservative element that sprang up in the
North, an element that had once been vehe-
ment, but now became SO extremely tame

conspicuous in the Southern army pushing
them always politically to the front, and the
result is what we to-day behold. Two points
out of three they have carried, the third one
they are now preparing to assault. With the
House and Senate in their possession, the
only remaining obstacle to a complete cap
ture Of the government. is the Presidency
which they mean to carry in 1880 by any
matters not what.
Will they do it? That is the question of the
hour The answer is plain. BY fair and
impartial vote of all the States, the republi-
cans would have majority of the Congress
men and OF the electoral votes. Shall we
have that kind of vote, or will the scenes
of the past few years at the South still BE-
permitted to go on, and ballot-box stuffing
and intimidation rule instead of free suffrage:
II SO then the days of the republic are num-
bered and its doom already sealed.
4 republic can only exist through the pa
trotism of its people. Love of country is
the handspring in such form of govern
ment. We need to rekindle the fires Of 1861
we need to stir up the blood that sent millions
forth to save the nations life. We need
again to arouse the slumbering recollections
Of our ancestors, who founded this Union, and
then the end will be sure and certain.
That there is to be such an uprising begins to
be patent SIXTY-oNE.

The Board Of Education is discussing the qucs-
ton of completing the 9th ward building. The
new members, especially who rccolcct the fact
that the Board owes $1,000 in bonds on which
have been paid $4,000 interest, are loath to go
into further expenditures till this is wiped out,
and are seeking - way to get around building.
1t is believed that the vote taken has no force,
from the fact that a vote on the amount OF the
appropriation should have been had. Besides
this, there are unoccupied rooms in the buildings
already up: one in the fourth and one in the sec
