PlTH OF THE PRESS.

New York Tribune (Rep.): Whlle the
Democrats in the House are waiting for
something to turn up they might i'm
prove their time by unseating the Iowa
delegation, and putting in their places
eight or nine Copperheads for whom no
body ever voted.
Nashville Banner (Dem.): The best
thing for the country, the Democratic
party and himself, would be for the cd
itor of the Okolona States to begin the
practice of kindling his fire with kcro-
sene oil. We think the final result would
be entirely satisfactory.
Chicago News Gnd.): We sincerely
hope that Providence, or sound common
sense, or both, will come to the rescue;
but the indications at the present writ
ing are that the Harrison Administration
is going to be the very worst administra-
ton Chicago has ever had.
Boston Transcript (Rep.): Gen. Grants
nomination would constitute a Repub-
lican blunder of such magnitude as to
cast all Democratic errors into the shade,
unless the Confederate Brigadicrs' and
their Northern allies do something be-
sides play at revolution"
New York Star (Dem): The Mr.
Hayes who now deplores any "coercion"
Of the Executive by riders to Appropria-
ton Bills, is the same Mr.. Hayes who
voted in 1867 thus to coerce President
johnson, minus varnish of sophistry
furnished by Lawyer Evarts.
Albany Journal (Rep.): If the whole
art of craftsmanship consisted in going
in at the big end only to come out at the
little end of the horn, then of truth
there would be reason to believe that
with the dissolution of the Democratic
party craftsmanship would take its place
among the lost arts
indianapolis Journal (Rep. }: The South
crn gentlemen who are forbidding steam
boats to carry negroes North, and cut
ting off their supplies on shore, are the
same who a few months ago begged for
Northern aid during the yellow fever
scourgc. Aid was sent to the amount of
several hundred thousand dollars. The
recent course Of the South has probably
caused good many persons to wish they
had their money back to give to the col
ored refugees.
New York Sun Denny: The greatest
objection that we had to Mr.. Hewitt
when he was in Congress was that he was
always walking and talking and negotiat-
ing with leaders of the Republican party,
and by such means seriously compromis-
ing his own party. Immediate and par
tial success may often be purchased at a
fatally eXtravagant cost. If the Demo
Gratis have any real and distinctive prin-
ciples, why do they not stick to them,
leaving the Republicans to pursue their
own course?
New York World (Dem.): 1t is curl
Gus and instructive coincidence which on
one and the same day brings us from St.
Petersburg vivid picture of the sort of
order which alone can be maintained in
a great modern nation by the bayonet,
and from Washington the message of al
American President insisting that TIL,
American people can no longer be trusted
to elect their own Representatives fairly,
excepting in the presence and under the
pressure of hired military force com.
manded by public servant more or less
directly interested in the choice of those
Representatives.
Leavenworth (Ks) Times: The only
proper disposition 10 be made of the col
ored refugees of the South is to scatter
them about throughout the State wher
ever their labor is needed. There is plen
ty of work, all over Kansas, for willing
hands; there is employment for all who are
willing to work; but the refugees can moi
be maintained, at the expense of public
charity in large bodies. either in thi.
city or elsewhere. The plan of coloniz
ing them on the prairies is neither feast
BILE nor practicable. After supplying
! their immediate wants, whatever is con
tributed for their benefit should be uset
in bearing their expenses to those towns
and districts, in, various parts of thu
State, where they are needed as laborer
and farm hands, and where they will re
ceive cheerful and liberal compensation
! for their work.
