ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.

Randall! is radiant, and Tilden trium.
plant, Blair is blatant, Blackburn bill
Gus, and Wallace cieious. 1t is hardly
worth while however, TO predict VIVA,
will be done and said by Congress,
now controlled by party divided upon
every question except that of obtaining
possession of the Executive branch Of
the government in 1880
Nor can much be argued from the
success of Mr. Randall as to the course
that will be pursued by the Democratic
House, for among his supporters are to
be found some CT the most Bourbonish
of the reactionists. lie is praised as an
enemy Of Jobs, but the truth seems to
be that it is only small jobs that he is
opposed to. Such tremendous drafts
on the Treasury as are made by Pen
sious Bills and River and Harbor I'M
provement Bills developed no eifectual
resistance on his part The main rea-
son for his success over Blackburn ap-
pears to have been that being a North
ern man he could more safely carry out
Southern ideas than his competitor To
this manifest advantage were added
Randall's experience and political craft,
which far excelled those of Blackburn.
No real principle was involved in the
struggle, and its result indicates little
as TO the future action Of the House. IL
is safe to assume, however, that the
House will be more radical and revolu-
tionary than the Senate.
A few days however, will develope
the purposes of the Democratic majority
so plainly that there will be no need of
studying vague indications But we
can be certain that the Republicans in
Congress will need the utmost harmony
of councils, the wisest leadership and
the most undaunted determination
They are now situated as they were
when Seward and Chase and Sumner
and Fessenden and Trumbull and Ste
vens all worked together, in spite of
the most marked Emergencies Of views
and Of character. for the maintenance of
Freedom and Nationality, both Of which
are as directly threatened now as they
were swen.y years ago. Our hope is,
that as the present crisis requires the
same common devotion to great princi-
pies, SO it will develop among our lead
ers and in the Republican party. great
ter unity, enthusiasm aud earnestness.

The people are not particularly hap
py over the reassembling Of Congress
from which no one expects much good
TO the country, while the recent acts
and utterances Of its leading members
have given rise to the gravest apprehen-
sions. And it must be said the men,
bers Of the new Congress do not show
any symptoms of confidence in making
the special session a success, even for
their own personal and party ends.
They have to deal with very grave
situation, and can not see how they are
coming out For the first time since
the Southern wing Of the Democratic
party left the halls of Congress in
search of their rights" that party has
sole control over the furnishing of the
supplies for the government 1t shows
the continuity of Democratic practice
that the first proposed use Of this con-
troll over the appropriations is to coerce
the Executive department, which they
have not got, but hope to get, provided
they can remove the barriers against
fraudulent voting.

TOO MUCH ''SOLID SOUTH FOR CON.
FORT

The Democratic majoritv in Congress
will soon begin to feel an unpleasant
sense ofresponsibility The recklessness
Of the last Congress in voting for all
manner of extraragant appropriations,
aud in taking off at least s.. 00G. 900
from the receipts from the tobacco Tax,
was a fragrant case of burning the
Candle at both ends How is the gov
ernmcnt to he run. The Western and
Southern men naturally turn at once 10
the expedient Of re-mposing the most
odious, inqusitorial, unjust and unfair
OF taxes,-,hat on incomes. They take
great prospective delight in squeez-
ing the "plutocrats :" of the East. L, is
to be hoped that they will try it on
There is no class Of people in this csun-
try who stand in greater need of punish
ment at the hands of the rampant
Southern Democracy for neglect of their
political duties, than Eastern capitalists
with large incomes. 1t would be for
their permanent advantage to learn. as
soon as possible, that the most expen.
sive luxury this country ever maintain
ed is the Democratic Party which ever
where readily absorbs and assimilates
all dangerous political elements.
But the wiser Democratic leaders in
Congress see very clearly that their
party is likely TO lose all its chances for
the next Presidency and for The next
Congress, by too early and free dis
plays Of its dangerous and destructive
tendencies. They have but seven ma
jority in the Senate, and, in 1850, the
Legislatures will be chosen which will
elect the successors to Eaton. Herman,
Randolph. Wallace, Thurman and Nc
Donald. II would not require much of
a political revolution to carry all these
Legislatures for the Republicans and
then the Senate would lie again Repub-
lean
That these facts of the situation are
appreciated in Washington is shown by
Washington dispatch to the Herald"
which says, speaking Of the sort of
Democrat who has good common sense:
This Kind Of Democrat. therefore, is
disposed TO caution. He remarks in
private that it is not best to go ahead
too fast; that the Speaker of the House
ought not to appoint any committees at
this extra session except those on the
Appropriations and the Judiciary: that
the session ought 10 be short; that a
deadlock ought by all means 10 he avoid
ed; tina; it is not wise 10 insist on the
repeal of the Supervisors law, and that
If the Republicans insist on retaining
the Deputy Marshals law tits better 10
adjourn and appeal to the country than
to make deadlock on that with the
President ofthe Republican party. The
difficulty is that the prudent and con.
servative Democrats are just now, To all
appearances, the under dogs. They
grumble, out they doubt very much
whether they can rule. With 100 out
of the las Democrats in the House
Southern men, and ihirty-tbree out of
the forty-two Democratic Senators
Southern men also. the South il incIin-
ed to have its own way. and there are
Democrats who think that there is al.
most too much of the solid South for the
good Of the party
So that there is such thing as hav-
ing too much Of " Solid South" for
the comfort Of q sensible Northern
Democrat.
