THE DEMOCRITIC NEEEAT.

1t is useless to deny that the Democratic
party has been temporarily beaten i'll
the contest which practically closed
by Mr.. Hayes second veto mes
sage. 1t Las been beaten not by the peo-
pie or their representatives, but by men who
do not understand what the people desire.
1t has been beaten by a man who occupies
the highest Office in the nation without sane
ton of the people who heretofore have desig
mated the incumbent of that Office, and by a
set of mon who have been notorious for
years as obstructionists and perverters of the
constitution and the laws. But the defeat
is not irretrievable. If we only have
patience and moderation, time viii! surely
set all things even.
The contest has been one of the most
memorable in the history of the republic.
It has been conflict between free govern
ment and despotism-a struggle for suprem-
acy potent with grave results. During the
days of the war and the reconstruction
period that succeeded it, laws were enacted
that portended great danger to free institu-
tions. In times of national disturbance Ii
cense is too apt to bavo free rein and ex-
pediency to usurp the place OF law. 1t was
SO in the case Of this country. Measures
were enacted that, it was thought, were de-
signed to protect the people i'll their right tc
free exercise of the suffrage, but that were
in direct antagonism to the perpetuity o.
frea institutions The constitutional amend
ments abolishing slavery and forbidding any
discrimination in citizen rights on account
of race, color, or previous condition of ser
vltude were both necessary and proper, ani
none are now found who desire to chang
them i'll any respect. But there wer
other laws passed under the au
thority granted by these amendment
to enact legislation to properly enforce then
that menace the entire structure of the gov
ernment. 1t was sought by Congress to re
peal some of these obnoxious and destructiv
laws-the authority granted to tho executiv
to use troops at the polls in defiance of th
constitutional provision on that subject; th
law giving to federal supervisors of election
and deputy marshals authority to arbitrari]
arrest persons suspected of desiring to exc
else the right Of suffrage illegally, and to a
sumo general control of elections for Repr
sentatives in Congress; and that requirir

Description of The beautiful Ayad Girem to
Ulysses by the SMltam.
A correspondent writes from CONSTANT
nople: In March last, when Gen. Grant, in
the course of his cruise in the Vandalia,
came to Constantinople, his first visit was
paid to the Sultan. Immediately after this
interview his majesty charged Munir Bey,
tho master of ceremonies, to present the
General with an Arab horse from the impe-
rial stables. Accordingly number wero
led out, and one chosen and set aside for him;
but owing to some misunderstanding the
gift horse was not sent, and the Vandalia
sailed without him. Recently, the question
having been revived, the steed in question
was hunted up among the five hundred and
seventy horses which compose the imperial
stud. He was found, and, accompanied
bys another horse, also for Gen.
Grant, transferred to tho care of the Ameri-
can legation. Arrangements have been made
to send them in few days on the Norman
Monarch, a steamer of two thousand tons Ca
pacity, which will probably sail direct to New
Haven. They are to be housed on deck, pro-
vided with canvas belts to swing in, in rough
weather, and treated as saloon passengers.
So it is to be reasonably hoped that the
end of their thirty days. passage will
find them both sound in limb and wind.
One is a dappled gray of fair size. and hav-
ing all the traits characteristic of the Arabian
blood small, we'll set, restless ears, wide
pink nostrils and large, soft eyes, waving
name and long tail, reaching almost to the
ground, and a skin of such delicacy that the
stroke of lady's whip is sufficient to draw
blood. The other stallion has all these
points. He is a glossy black, with white
star on his forehead and white hind feet
When the long forelock falls over his fore
head the large black eyes have all the express
sion of a Bedouin woman's Their gait is
perfect, be it either the rapid walk, the long
swinging trot or the tireless stretching gal
lop, while a rein of one thread of silk ii
enough to guide their delicate mouth. LIE
one of these Arabs, in the mad rush of {
charge or flight, lose his rider, and that in
stant the dooile steed will stop as though
turned into stone. These two horses are o1
the famous Saktan race, the purest Arabian
blood, only found inand near Bagdad. Th'
dapple gray is appropriately named Djeytal
Clhe Panther), and the black Missirli 9Th
One From Cairo), which cognomen he de
rives from the fact that he was bought a

horses their blood and gentle temper ar

that our great general will be highly please
with the sultan's gift.

form, at the polls, is a standing monaco to
the citizen-a threat that if he fails
to vote as ho is desired to
vote by the authorities at Washing
ton, he will DO placed III duress. A military
force is not a part of our system of govern
ment except so far as it is employed to repel
foreign invasion and secure domestic tran
guilty, and the presence of troops in any
State, except for such purposes, is wanton
invasion which ought to be repelled.
Scarcely less at variance with our system
of government is the law which gives to fed
eral officials supervision over elections. 1t
is pernicious doctrine, calculated to IN
crease the power of the central government
to the verge of absolute despotism. 1t is no
part of the duty of the government to exer-
else such CONTROL and besides is wholly un-
necessary. During our whole existence the
States have performed that duty and per-
formed it we'll. Frauds upon the ballot box
have been detected and punished vigorously,
and the people have been fully protected in
all their rights. What, then, is the
reason of the change that has been
made? But one can be imagined-a desire
to unduly increase the authority of the fed
eral government and make thu States sub
servient to it. This is fraught with the great
est danger. It is aimed at the idea that the
people are to govern the country, and will
! eventually lead to the building up of ar
oligarchy at Washington that will assume
the control of all the individual affairs of the
people.
The Jurors test oath when enacted .eas sim
ply piece of petty spite, and has already
been declared unconstitutional by learned
Judge of the supreme court. Its effect has
been to exclude from the jury box all per
sons of intelligence in the Southern States
and to put litigants at the mercy of the mos
ignorant and vicious of the population. l
has done it's worst work, however, and few
years, at most, will correct it entirely.
In seeking the repeal of these obnoxiou
laws tho Democratic party has suffered de
feat. But it has not been defeat of whicl
it has reason to be ashamed. In the debate
that have taken place the leading orators hav
presented the most cogent reasons for thei
action, and can now appeal to the people il
the confident assurance of being sustained
They have been moderate in discussion, hav
presented united front, and have sougt
to do nothing that was not inspired by th
highest motives of patriotism. They ca
afford to rest on such record until sue
time as the people may be called upon
enter their verdict in tho promises. Whs
that verdict will be does not admit of
question.

A slightly amusing feature Of Mr.. Windom's
speech in the Senate, yesterday, was his re-
buke of the Democrats for their obedience
to caucus orders. Some of the Democrats,
he said, were unwilling to attach political
legislation to appropriation bills, but "King
Caucus issued his decree that there should
be no stragglers from the lines,' and the or
der was obeyed. The Minnesota Senator en-
tirely forgot that he was himself obeying the
commands of caucus, and that caucus de-
crees are so potent in the Republican ranks
that even the President of the United States
is constrained to violate his promises in
obeying them. Caucus domination isn't a
good subject for Republican Congressman to
preach on just now.

This veto, if the veto comes, will, more
distinctly than any other veto in our history,
draw the line of demarcation between the
Democratic and Republican parties. The
great vetoes, the Jackson bank veto, the
various vetoes touching the policy of internal
improvements, all the yetoes do not present
such an issue as this will present. Such an
act on the part Of the President, not his own
act, but the act of his party, will stamp the
two political parties in this country-the
Democratic party and the opposition-as
they have not been labeled before. The
Democratic party appears with the Declara-
tion Of independence and the Constitution
in its right hand, and the Republican party
appears with the Federal bayonet in its
right hand. This is tho contest It is one
phase of the war upon local self government
upon the rights of the States. And shin
ing out from among the declarations of the

this from that tribunal when Salmon P.
