In the United States Senate, Mon
daV an effort was made to revive con-
sideration of the Warren Silver bill,
but the matter was postponed until
yesterday. The Senate then took up
the Troops.at- Elections bill, and Mr..
Harris opened the discussion. The
principal section reads as follows: "That
no money appropriated in this act is APP
prop,iated or shall be paid for the SUBJ
sistence, equipment, transportation, or
compensation of any portion Of the
army of the United States, to be used
as police force to keep peace at the
polls at any election held within any
State"

Gan Audible litter"

It was stated in the Associated Press
report of the proceedings of the House
upon the reception Of the Presidents
veto message last week that when GER
tain portions Of the document were
read there was ian audible litter" on
the Democratic side. The tittering
was occassioned by the stupendous
election frauds in this city in 1868,
and the need of some such measure of
prevention as the laws which the
Democratic ::Oongreas has determined
to repeal The idea seemed 30 funny
that it sent an audible litter through
the party. They are apt to be affected
in that way by any practiced sugges-
ton in the direction Of preventing
fraud or purifying politics. They will
howl themselves red in the face for
Reform upon the stump and in the
press, when they are out of power and
want to get in; once in, they greet any
practical movement for Reform with
an audible litter. No doubt there was
an audible litter among the crowd of
Democrats who pushed on to Washing
ton with the advent Of their party to
power, when they were told that the
party was opposed to the use Of official
patronage to reward party service.
There must have been very audible
litter in the Tweed Ring when, in an
swer to the protests against the rascal
tiles and robberies of The Democratic
rule. "the Old Man" said with leer,
"Well, what are you going to do abcut
it?"
Titterers they are, indeed, and al
ways have lifted up by conscience or
patriotism or sense of duty or philan-
throphy or love of justice to grea t aud
serious and unselfsh work, then and
there just such men of those who are
fighting for free fraud at Washington

the party press from Maine to Mexico.
There was the same audible litter in

President Lincoln had issued call for

WEDNESDAY, JUNE IL, 1879.
THE opinion prevails in Wash

THE opinion prevails in Wash
ington that Senator Thurman's
presidential prospects are utterly
ruined, and that if Ewing wins the
fightin Ohio. Thurman will not be
mentioned thereafter in connection
with the presidency but that Ewing
will go into the nominating conven-
ton with the great body of Ohio
Democrats at his back.
THE Buckeye greenbackers, like
their brethren in Iowa, were not
able to hold a state convention
without a little domestic row of
their own. Many of the delegates
at the Columbus convention left III
high dudgeon and resolved to issue
a call for another convention to
meet at Toledo, June II, to nomi-
nate a new ticket. The spectacle
Of two greenback tickets in the
same state must be politically edify-
ING to the itinerants who have been
roaming around in search of new
party.

There is never bloom too rare
For loving hands to spread
Where our heroes repose.
But our tender thought will stray
For moments space away
Away from these mounds fower-strew
To those sadder ones. where sleep
Our well-beloved, our own,
With only the dews to weep,
And only the stars to keep
Watch above them. Graves
Washed by the southern waves,
Graves which the southern moss,
Trails its green length across,
Where never a flower ca n prove
Our unforgetting love.
Oh, southern skies bend tenderly above them!
Oh southern wlnds and waves,
Sing to them softly, for we love them,
These nameless graves!
With strong resistless hand Time sweeps in
all
Flowers will perish, stone and cross will
fall.
On the great deed alone Time has No power.
Upon it rests the mighty dover
Of linn ortality! Oh! Soldiers who
March still in earthly ranks, and you
Passed to the front, unto the. heavens doth
rise
A nations voice, that cries
IT'S the great deed that lives!
And 10, the answering sky this echo gives,
'Tis the great deed that lives
Oh, Liberty! all of thy daughters we love.
We send them greeting what skies bend
above
Them we care not; though strangers in life
and in aim,
We are one in thy bounties and one in thy
name.
But dear as the blood in our veins that flows,
Aye dearer than that. God knows,
Is our own Columbia See she stands
And lifting unshackled hands,
BIDS all the nations come
And find in her heart home.
Up to the morn Of brighter day,
Obi land of our love lead the way
Set on the hIll-tops of lite the sign
| OF a liberty all divine!
Leader and guide mayest thou be,
| And the nations shall follow thee!

Perry, for many years resident Of this
city, at the Decoration Day ceremonies q,
Whitewater Friday, May Goth, will doubt
less be perused with interest and pleasure
by our readers:
So many years ago, and yet
Although prosperous peace has set
Its seal on all, and though, from shore to
We learn of war no more, Shore
We know to-day that we not forget.
Above all else, on this memorial day,
The sorrowful, splendid Past has sway,
Aud we know truly we do not forget.
You RENE mber, soldiers; the call to arms,
The patriot impulse, the hearts quick
ened beat,
The waiting for action, the battles alarms,
The valiant advance and the bitter retreat,
The day before battle, when up to the north
Your souls in an anguish of longing went
forth,
The raining of shot and the bursting of
she'll
The death-ploughed ranks, the dire prison
hell,
The long dreary marches, the sore discomfort
The songs that you sang in the camp, for
the blue
Through the darkest skies will sometimes
break through.
You remember the soldier who fell by your
side,
The letter you wrote for the comrade who
died;
For out of your dangers true friendships
were born
"You were brothers at night who were
strangers at morn.
When the name of G ettysburg no more
brings
The old days back, when you hear no more
At the mention or Lookout thedin and roar
Of the fight; when no more emotion springs
At the name of Shiloh, when memory
Thrills no more at The March to the Sea,
You will have forgotten all earthly things.
You remember it mothers and sisters and
wives:
Who gave, not only the precious lives
Of your best, but received in your breasts
the blow
That on the far field laid the dear one low,
Bitter the agony, I'D the cost,
But the end that was won made the life
we'll lost.
We remember it all; but looking where
The old flag floats on the summer breeze,
We think of naught but the victories,
We see but this that the stars are all there.
Before the lingering May
Turns from our sight away,
With lavish hand she strews,
In woods, and in garden bed,
Her gifts of fragrance aud bloom.
For well the proud May knows,
That the loyal nations heart
Sets all her treasures apart;
That the summer with beauty rife,
Is given to life,
But her beauty is garlanded,
For the graves Of the Nations dead.
They wore no victor's crown,
Unknown. unknelled they went town
In the terrible storm of DEATH
Whether by bullet and ball,
Or the fever's pestilent breath,
They were heroes and heroes all.
Bring then the sweetest and best,
To deck their honOred rest;
Purple and white and red,
Lily and lilac and rose;
There is never flower too fair,

THE new Democratic policy at
Washington is perfected, latter many
committee conferences and a long
and stormy caucus. It has been
agreed that three new Appropria
ton bills shall be passed: an Exc
cutive and Legislative bill, which
shall not contain any political or
restrictive clause, Judicial bill,
which will contain provision that
none of the money appropriated
shall be expended to pay the salary
Of election officers, and which will
also repeal the test oath, and make
the familiar charge respecting the
selection of jurors; and an Army
Bill which will provide, after max
ing the customary appropriations,
that none of the funds shall be used
to transport or maintain troops at
any place for the preservation of
peace at the polls. This is mere
ehilds play, for it is merely reenact-
ing the old legislation, which the
President has made odious in
slightly different form. 1t would
kxve been more straightforward
snd plucky to follow Mr.. Black
burns lead, and stand out for revo-
Iution, pure and simple. If the
party hopes, by making the bulk
of the appropriations without re-
xtrictions, to escape the odium that
persistency in its original curse
would have entailed, and, at the
same time, to seem to be standing
by its so-called principles, it is likely
to- be disappointed. This issue has
been made so clear that the Demo
eracy cannot made stand on a
single improper restriction without
being judged by the country quite
asseverely as if there were a hun
bred. There will be another Sc
ries of foolish votes, another series
of vetoes, straight from the shout

THE Democrat last week discussed
the question of the proposed new els.
tern for fire purposes on the west side
Of the river, and argued in favor of its
erection by the city instead of the 3rd
aud 4th wards. The Democrat is in
error when it states that 1.-THE reser~
voirs on the east side were constructed
In whole or in part at the expense of
the entire city," They we're paid for
by the LIST and End wards, and the pre-
eedent having been established of re-
curing the wards in which they are
located to pay for them, there is no
sense or justice in now departing from
that rule. We admit the necessity of
more reservoirs to properly guard
against fire disasters, but protest against
the city's doing for the west side what
Is refused to do for the east side. The
board of street commissioners In adopt
inc this view of the matter is clearly
Ia the right, and should stoutly main
tain the principle that if cisterns in the
list and End wards are purely local af-
fairs and must be paid for as such, then
the Sd and 4th wards should be treat
ed.in the same Way.

The Union Soldiers Friend (O

The Madison Democrat is making
a great ado over the discharge of
three surplus men of the State Capt.
tol forces, who we're soldiers in the
late war. Two of the dis charged
men were able bodied, vigorous men
and are entitled to state employ
ment Just as much as thousands of
others, and no more. The claim
that the places of the ex-soldiers
were filled with renegade demo-
Gratis is untrue. The positions
which they occupied are vacant and
will remain so until winter. Two
of the men who were dismissed
held the positions of assistant engi-
neer and fireman. It has been the
practice of the Superintendent of
Public Property to suspend the
person holding the former position
and one fireman during the sum-
mer months, for the good and suffi-
cient reason that there is nothing
for them to do. The third was an
extra man put on temporarily last
winter. The Superintendent did
but his duty in discharging men
for whom he had no work. There
is no just ground for the criticisms
of the Democrat, except perhaps in
the case of the manned soldier and
those acquainted with the man and
the circumstances endorse the &C.
tons of the Superintendent in his
course. The whole thing is worked
up by the Democrat for the purpose
of manufacturing little party CAPT
tai. If confederate soldiers were
being discharged by Republican.
there would be some consistency
in a democratic sheet flying to thei
rescue. Then no one would doubt
the genuineness of its lamentations
Mr.. UPsoN, the new membel
from Texas, who succeeds Mr.
Schleicher, deceased, is not as rabie
as some Of his Democratic cOnfreres
After he was sworn in some of the
democrats were con graduating him.
I when one member remarked: awe
need your vote to stiffen us up. l
is another joint in our democratic
backbone.' This was thrown on
as feeler, and met with the follow
ing response: "I1ell, there is ne
trouble about you fellows backbone
You have got too much backbone
What you need is little more
brains" This very vigorous re
mark from Mr.. Epson had a very
decided effect in dampening the en-
thusiasm Of his reception, particu
larly as in continuing the converse
ton be declared that he would vote
for the regular appropriation bill
| just as soon as he could have
chance. He said that he was thu
freshest Of them all from the people
and that no other policy would h.
at least, pursue. The starvation
policy is evidently in d bad way
and the caucus is losing it's grip.
