A WASHINGTON special to the Cincinnati
Commercial of Friday says: Cabinet officers
say that the Republicans of the country need
have no fears about the attitude of the PEesi'
dent, should the Democrats insist upon a re
peal of the election laws, even at sacrifice
Of Appropriation Bills. They say that the
President viii take his position on this sub
Iject in message he will send to the new
Congress, and will notify them that he is not
to be intimidafed or trifled with. Secretary
Sherman says that If the Democrats insist
upon repeal, there will be prospect of a
continuous session from the 18th of March
next till the 4ih Of March, 1881, before the
President will yield; but the impression 8
gaining ground that Senators Bayard, Whyte
Hill, Herman, and other Democrats in both
houses, who do not approve of such rezolu
tionary proceedings as Beck and Thurman
propose, will assert themselves and force
Congress into decency.

The Ballot Box Suffers.

An extra session of Congress was made ne
cessary by the Democrats who insisted that
the law protecting the ballot boxes against
fraud should be repealed or the wheels. of gov
ernment should stop. The Republicans ac-
cepted the gage of battle, and now, as they
say in England, the question goes to the coun-
try. The issue is very plain one. The peo-
PIE understand it, The.law as it stands is not
only very fair one, but it is very necessary
one. Under it no man who had right to
vote was prevented from voting; whereas in
the absence of it ballot boxes we're stuffed and
elections were carried by fraud. In New
York, prior to the enactment of the law, the
Tammany thieves and bummers, marshaled
by Tweed, stuffed the ballot boxes. This was
fully established by an investigation ordered
by Congress. In several districts of New
York City more votes were counted than
there were residents in the districts, counting
men, women, and children. Those fraudu-
lent votes gave the State of New York to
Seymour. That fact was so fully established
that nobody pretended to deny it. 1t was so
fully established that Samuel ]. Tilden, who
was on the Democratic committee, declared
that Tweed did the dirty work without his
knowledge, as he has recently proclaimed that
the Nephew Pelton, Smith Weed, and Marble
acted without his knowledge in their efforts
to corrupt Returning Boards and buy Elec-
tors.
Our own city ives carried by fraud, notori-
ously, in 1876, whereas, under the national
system, we had in 1878 an honest election.
proven that our citizens all know it. 1t is as
plain that banning and Sayler were elected
by Eph. Holland and his gang as it is that two
and two make four. The trouble with the
election law is that it prevents or aids largely
in preventing frauds. This is The reason the
Democrats seek its repeal There is no proof.
there is no pretense that the presence Of Su-
pervisors at the polls prevented at any time or
in any place the casting of an honest vote.
The Democrats, in the course Of the debate in
Congress, were challenged to show that any
man had been prevented from voting who had
a right to vote, but they could not do it;
they did not even attempt to do it. They ex.
pect to carry the next Presidential election
by fraud, and hence their anxiety to have all
safeguards around the ballot box broken down.
Now let the party leaders go to the coun-
try with fraud pasted on their backs. The
honest people will meet them and give them
what they deserve-an overwhelming defeat.

The Late profiigate Congress.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Ale1ander H.
Stephens remarked to-day that be ''was
ashamed Of the Forty-ffth Congress" 'When
we met" said he sit was widely heralded
that we would find relief for the people, but
instead of that We have been a burden, and
the Forty fifth Congress adjourns in deeper
disgrace than any Congress in the history OF
our Government"
Mr.. Stephens says he hopes for better
things from the next Congress, and is not pre-
Jared to believe that matters can be worse.
Treasury officials are looking over the f.
nancial work of last Congress to learn in
what shape they left the financial legislation
1t is bad enough. Huge appropriations are
made and no means provided for payment. 1t
is remarked, as a striking commentary on the
reckless legislation, that appropriations of
this Congress are about five times CRATER than
any year before the war, when the govern
ment was out of debt and the people prosper
GUS. Secretary Sherman doubts whether
there will be money in the Treasury at any
time during the fiscal year to meet the river
and harbor appropriations. Congress was
swift to vote away an immense sum for this
purpose, but made no provision for payment.
The same is true with the arrears of PEN
sioEs. The Secretary jokingly remarked that
Congress must have had an exorbtant idea OF
his financial ability to suppose he could pay
all these vast sums without the means. He
thought no Congress had ever given Secre-
tary of the Treasury so much power as this
Congress had bestowed on him. He mention
ed On item in the Sundry civil Appropriations
Bill which passed the House giving him au-
thority to lease all the public property in the
United States He went to the Senate and
had it corrected. The Secretary's friends ave
much amused that Congress, members of
which haue abused him so actively, should
give him power over so much Of their appro-
priations.
AS the case stands now, the Secretary will
pay arrears of pensions as fast as there is
money in the Treasury, but he is not dispos-
ed to consume the fund set apart to secure re-
sumption. He thinks this pension can be
met by paying ten or twelve millions annually
until all is paid.

Improved Translation of the
Bible.

The Methodist" asserts that an i'm
proved translation of the Bible is neces-
sary, and says:
1--WE will fortify this opinion by an
example. In Matt. vi, 81, we read In
our version, Therefore, takeno thought
saying. what shall we eat,' etc. TIE
passage is more and more frequently
quoted to prove that Christianity IS
the religion of ofthriftlessness. *** Now,
the first thing to be said is that the
passage was correctly translated in
