Draw the Line There.

The Nation is the thing. The States
are mere geographical conveniences, hay-
ing no more sovereignty than counties.
If the old Southern doctrine of States
rights was true, then the conquest by
military force of the States that asserted
it was monstrous wrong and a mistake.
If the people of the United States con-
stitute Nation, is has the right to pre-
serve itself, and the law providing for
the appointment of Supervisors of Con-
gressional elections is precisely in point.
The political legislation fastened upon
the appropriation bills by the Democracy
was all in the interest of the States as
opposed to the Nation, and reasserts in
the strongest from the Confederate doc
trine. The supporters of this doctrine
maintain that the Southern COnfederacy
was right and the United States wrong
in the war, and they are attempting to
denationalize the Union and disintegate
the Nation. Draw line OF battle there.

Ia Fit to Govern?

1t is about year since the O'COnnor
Legislature reorganized the different
State institutions on Democratic basis
Let US see what is the result:
Unspeakable disgrace has been fasten-
ed upon the Orphans Home at Xenia, by
the conduct of the men placed at its
head.
The Athens Insane Asylum has al
ready come to the pass where it is found
necessary to ask the leading officers and
employees for their designations.
The penitentiary management had to
be recognized before it had been in ope-
ration six months.
Longview Asylum, which was Demo
cratized at the same time as the State
asylum, is the subject of two investiga-
tions and the center Of a fierce Demo
cratic family row. If attention were di-
rected to the other State institutions, no
doubt like state of things would be
found to exist. .i lts-pF
In the light of this record of one short
year. it is pertinent to ask, Is the Demo-
cratic party fit to govern Ohio ?-Cin.

THE EXTRA SESSION:

Congress received a short message
from the President on Wednesday, call
ing attention to the unpassed appropria-
tion bills, and giving an estimate as to
the revenues and expenses, and at once
proceeded to business. In the Senate
there appears to be little inclination to
extend the scope of the work of the ses-
sion, but as much cannot be said of the
House. The appropriation bills, as they
passed at the last session, will be intro
duced and passed without delay, with
the political amendments, which also
appear in the Senate as separate bills
The first bill introduced into the Forty
sixth Congress was a private claim offer
ed by Senator VOORHEES,.
The House and Senate held a short
session on Thursday, the Senate adjourn
ing to elect Democratic officials in the
place of Republicans, and the House to
arrange its political plans for the extra
session. The opinion prevailed that
very little should be done except pass
the appropriation bills and repeal the
obnoxious" political legislation. 1t is
probable that the latter will be passed
first, and, if vetoed by the President,put
on the appropriation bills as riders,
making the continuance of the different
branches of the government dependent
upon their passage. The strongest can
didates for senatorial offices were almost
all defeated, the places being secured by
men not especially prominent.
The Democrats in Congress show no
strong signs of changing their policy, and
are busy deyising plans to carry on their
poll :ical legislation and increase their
majorities. A political discussion about
the expenses and acts of the United
States marshals at the November cleo
tions occupied the time of the Senate on
Friday. The House considered the
question whether it could unseat more
Republicans by increasing the number of
members on the Election Committee, or
by establishing more than one such COM
mittee.
Congress was not in session Saturday,
but the Democratic Congressman were
busy. The joint caucus committee held
a long meeting. 1t was decided to in
corporate the political legislation in the
bills. The repeating clause
which failed during the last session is to
be modified so as to repeal only those
sections which authorize the appoint
ment of chief supervisors and deputy
marshals for elections, together with the
sections conferring police powers on the
thus continuing the author
ization for the appointment of two SUI
pervisors of different politics to serve in
a testimonial capacity at each poll as
witnesses of the count of votes. As no
punishment for offences is provided for,
the remaining supervisors become sim
ply ornamental, and the whole act might
as well be repealed. 49,.

THE repeal of the federal election laws
has been shown to have its origin in the
Democratic necessity of carrying the
State of New York in order to elect a
Democratic President in 1880. A story
has been circulated at the Capital that
the President will sign a modified feder-
al election bill, perhaps such as is pro
posed by the Springer compromise, but
Republicans have not the least fear that
he will give his consent to any modifica-
ton of the laws as they now stand. A
large number if not a majority of the
Democratic members of the House look
upon the caucus compromise in regard
to election supervisors and marshals as
weak and unworthy, and advocate
wiping out every Vestige of federal cleo

tions were laid before the Senate from
the Postmaster General asking addition
al appropriations for railway letter car
riers and from the Secretary of the In
terror asking an appropriation for the
payment of clerks in the Educational
Department. Bills introduced: Provid-
ing for the settlement of accounts with
certain railway companies; to prevent
the introduction and spread of infectious
diseases in the United States. A resolu-
ton was passed requiring the Secretary
of the Treasury to furnish the Senate
the amounts of money drawn and paid
Supervisors of Election, general and
special, in 1876 and 1878, as cOmpensa-
tiOn in excess of fees as allowed by law
for Circuit Court Commissioners, and
state the amounts expended in New
Yord, Philadelphia and Cincinnati for
the years aforesaid. A lengthy discussion
ensued on a resolution that the Senate
elect Chief Clerk, Executive Clerk and
Sergeant-at-Arms, participated in by
Messrs. Anthony, Hamlin, Wallace,
COnkling, Bayard, Beck, Voorhees,,
Blaine, Hill and Eaton.

THE work of the extra session has
been pretty well mapped out. For OBJ
vious reasons the Democrats do not care
to have the session long one, but as
they forced the extra session, they de-
clare that they are determined to carry
their point at all hazards. The federal
supervisors law must be repealed. If it
is vetoed, and cannot pass over the veto
as a separate bill, it will take second
ride on'the appropriation bill and stick
there, if necessary, all summer. As the
leaders did not hesitate in making the
extra session necessary, so they will not
hesitate to leave the chief departments
of the government without funds to ac-
complish their purposes. Until this is
settled it is quite probable that no other
important legislation will be acted on.
This is the programme just now. Later
on it may lose its charm.

INDIANA has followed Ohio and Mis-
souri,, and, in accordance with a bill
which passed the Hoosier Legislature on
Thursday. the State is to be redistricted
in the interests of the Democratic party.
In the Forty-ffth Congress Indiana was
represented in Congress by eight Repub-
lieans and FIVE Democrats, while in the
present Congress the parties are equally
represented, De La Matyr, the Green
hacker, holding the balance of power.
Not content with these gains, the State
is to be gerrymandered in such way as
to give the Republicans but one sure
district, leaving the Democrats nine,
with three more which they can carry
with the aid of the Greenbackers. ..s.

The Belmont County Seat.

One OF the most Irritating contests
arising from the attempted removal of a
county seat is before the House from
Belmont county. Mr.. Danford has intro
dued bill providing for the removal of
the seat of justice from st. Clairsyille to
Bellaire, and to-day presented petition
signed by $500 voters and taxpayers
praying for its passage Tomorrow re-
monstrances signed by $500 voters and
Taxpayers will be presented. The bill
has been read the second time and re-
ferred to the Committee on New Coun-
ties, and Tuesday night has been fixed
for the first hearing Both Bellaire and
st. Clairsyille are respectfully represent
ed in the loby. st. Clairsville is situated
about in the center of population of the
county, has been the seat of justice for
seventy years, has got macadamized
roads leading to all points in the county,
and a good narrow gauge railroad lead
ing to the Central Ohio Division of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Bellaire is
situated on the extreme eastern edge of
the county on the Ohio river, and claims
population of 1000, as against 1900 at
St. Clairsville. 1t is the southern termi-
nus of the River Division of the Cleve-
land & Pittsburgh Railroad, and the
eastern terminus of the Central Ohio
Division of the Baltimore s. Ohio Rail-
read. There is also a partly finished
narrow gauge road extending toward
Monroe county. The chief claims of the
removalists is. that Bellaire is more ac-
cessible on account of her railroads. This
is denied by the st. Clairsville people,
who assert that Bellaire is the most in
accessible point in the county by the or
dinary means of travel. With the re-
cent experience of similar contests where
the question was submitted to vote,
still fresh in the recollection. of men,
bers, it is not likely that Mr. Danford's
bill will meet with much favor, especial
ly as it is claimed, and will probably be
shown, that a majority of the people arel
opposed to its passage Columbus Cor
