Devens also said ii was the Presidents in

The Upshot Of the Special Session.

The Boston TraueiltI- gives it about as it
lis, when it says: "Thc extra session has
resulted, from the first day to the last, in a
continuous and unbroken series of Demo
| cratic defeats and humiliations. Setting out
with the loudly Wanted determination to
starve out the White House, disband the
army, leave the ships of the navy to rot at
their wharves, close the courts and shut up
the custom houses and postoffices, they are now
adjourning after three months campaign
that has never yielded them single triumph,
with paltry refusal 10 provide for the
United States Marshals, involving the tri-
vial sum of 5000, 900, and, in its practical eff
fects, accomplishing nothing except to
throw into the boldest prominence the
Democratic determination to use its first
hour of power in striking at the defences Of
the ballot-box, and assailing the Supremacy
of the National authority. To summarize in
a sentence the final stand of the Democracy
with notice that their slogan for 1880 will be
Free fraud at the Northern polls, free force
at the Southern polls, and State sovereignty
everywhere"
If this be thought to be partial verdict,
for the Traveller is thoroughly ''stalwart" in
its Republicanism, then We will leave the
Characterization of the session to the ''inde
pendent Springfield Republican. Having
stated that Congress adjourns with no single
public interest bettered by its presence in
Washington for three and half months, the
Republican adds that ''such thing is with
out parallel in the history of this govern
ment, and one must turn TO the eventless sit
tings in which the Continental Congress went
out like gathering candle TO find a likeness
for this utter failure in every object for
which Congress meets or may be summon
ed" After showing that what has been done
might just rs well have been done at the
regular session, ourindependent contemporary
recounts what the Democracy has lost. 1t
says: Its control of the two chambers has
proved fruitlcss, its prospects of carrying
national issue and began 10 regain when it

Congress has adjourned, and the Presl-
dent, it is announced, will not call another
special session at present. The adjournment
will be great relief to the country but
the general rejoicing will be tempered
by the feeling that the lull of folly,
insanity and reckless partizanship at Wash
ington will be but brief one. 1t will be
like the temporary cessation of disease,
certain to return soon and for Il longer and
perhaps severer attack. The extra session
has rendered some service TO the country by
exhibiting in clearer light than ever the in
capacity of the Democracy for wise legisla-
ton, and their utter unfitness for control of
the Government. Hundreds of thousands of
citizens, who a year ago were inclined to
think that change in the politics of the Adj
ministration might be an improvement,
now see that no disaster could possibly be
greater, to all the interests of the country,
than a return of the Democratic party to
full control of the government. But this
knowledge has been gained at heavy cost
Aside from the needless direct expense of
the session, il is certain that it has post
poned for some time the strong and general
revival of business, which So many signs
promised ut the close of the last Congress.
There has been a sufficient Improvement
in business, as it is, and in spite of Congress,
TO show that had the country been left free
from the anxieties occasioned by the reck-
lessness of the Democratic and Green
back majority the revival would have
been great, general and genuine. of the
benefits of such a return of commercial pros
perity, the Democrats have largely deprived
the nation. And the time is now too short
before they will again be tinkering the
finances and tampering with the public Gre
dit, and voting the public money for Jobs
and Southern claims and railroad subsidies,
to allow ANY great material benefits from it.
But the moral benefits OF the session havebecn
very great. The attempt to browbeat and
bulldoze the President into violation of his
official duty has utterly failed. The failure
has shown that while the President desires to
be the President of a people rather than of a
party, he will not attempt to conciliate the
opposition at cost of his convictions of duty.
The session has disgraced and divided the
Democracy. 1t has united and consolidated
the great Republican party. For the injury
to public interests, occasioned by the with
holding of some necessary public appropria
tons, the people will hold the Democrats to
strict account, and the score will have full
cressmcn and electors.

The Democratic regard for economy and

pened into one of the Senate Committee

The Mississippi plan" for controlling
Southern elections was lnaugurated in the
State from which it takes its name, four
years ago. Then two Mississippi Democrats
p. J. Mccormick and II. VI. Dixon, were
co-laborcrs in the work of organizing the
plan" Now they belong to different fac
lions. Dixon is running for sheriff of Yazoo
county, Mccormick is fighting him, and the
feud is bringing their former rascalities to
the front. In their mutual elimination and
recrimination the method by which those
men and other Democrats changed the vote
of lazoo county from ., 400 Republican and
63S Democratic in 1872 to Republican and
4,0H Democratic in - has been exposed
1t is also shown that Mccormick and Dixon
led the mob which killed Patterson, Re
publican member of the Legislature. and
robbed his corpse of large sum of money
he was known to have on his person. As
Dixon is running for office, the Democrats
who oppose him have charged him with ap-
propriating the stolen money, whereupon to
get even Dixon let out all the secrets in re-
gard to the bull-dozing plan by which the
negroes in that State were virtually dsfran-
chised in 1875, and have been kept out of
their rights ever since 1t is due Dixon to
say that he denies having appropriated the
stolen money, and declares that it was turn
ed into the general campaign fund and used
with the approval Of the Democratic party
in bribery and in hiring Hallot-boxes stuffed.

Tie st. Louis Globe emocrdt, speak
ing Of the unjust treatment by gov
eminent OF the Territories, asks: "Why
should these fair portions Of the ma
tional domain be longer deprived Of
their rights, and why should the pco-
pie who have committed no greater
crimes than to leave their old homes
ia the States to better their condition
in yassalage?' The same paper urges
that Congress has the power to remedy
the wrongs now borne by the Terrific
ries, and should promptly exercise it,
in giving the right Of selfgovernment,
as it is enjoyed III the States. It
wants the citizens Of the dependen-
eies to have the right to choose their
own officers, to make their own local
laws, 10 bo represented in Congress
and in the electoral college; and says:
"The hardy outposts OF civilization

blerights as American citizens. The old

find no difficulty in devising ways and
