The tone Of the Democratic papers yester-
day was an instructive correntary upon the
Presidents Message. With E4rdly an excep-
ton they advised their party t" retreat Really
there is nothing else for the party to DO, and
this has been evident ever b4nce tue debate
fairly opened; but we did not look fo- such q
prompt confession and surrender. What has
become OF the menacing resolves of the .au-
Gus What has become Of The scheme to stop
the machinery of government What has be-
come OF the terrible Beck Wee the threats
that rang through the HI IL % Congress q
few weeks ago wholly i.siJcere, uttered
in the hope of frightening the President and
the Republican party, and without the rCmOtest
intention of carrying them into effect I or did
the Confederate caucus resolve first and de-
liberate afterward, pledging itself to q course
of action which a little reflection wOu.l have
shown that it had no power 10 adOpt9 These
arc questions which moderate ara sensible
Democrats, Disguised at the absurd dilemma
into which they have been dragged, may foel
an interest in having answered. For Us it is
enough TO know that the retreat he's been
sounded, and that the next conflict will be OH
another field.
The organs Of the Democracy are now stry-

OF No bayonets at the polls But the Pres

Outstanding, that the use of the army at the
polls is already prevented by n number OF
statutes which there is no possibility of evad-
ing, even if there were any desire to evade
them, and that this cry is essentially dishon-
est. If the Democrats desire the repeal OF
the Federal Election laws it is not because
they are jealous of military interference; 1t Is
not because, as one of their representa-
tives said the other day, "a free cleo
Ga ton is impossible when even the shadow
"of military power falls upon the
ballot-box," for the danger which they pro-
fess to dread has already been removed by o
series OF statutes, the latest and most strln-
gent of which was passed only year age
and there never has been pretence that these
laws are not ample for their purpose. Fhere
can no longer be any object III the repeal,
except to insure that in States like South
Carolina, where a lawless public opinion JUS
titles the forcible exclusion of colored voters
from the polls, there shall be 10 Federal
power to interfere in behalf of free elections,
and that in cities like New-York, where the
local authorities have an interest in connlvng
at the frauds of repeaterS aud ballOt-DoX
suffers, there shall be no check
upon the manufacture of false Democratic
maiOrities. The demand that every State shall
manage it's elections in its own way means
imply this. that the purity and freedom OF
the ballot shall be trusted to Tammany's un-
natuTaIized repeaters and South Cardinals
ruiiau rife clubs That is the new Demo
cratic claim, and every man in the United
States understands it..
IIpon This issue the ReDuhlican party an
peals to the country in the full confidence Of
overwhelming victory. Upon this question,
whether the faction which could not win by
fair means shall be allowed TO win by foul,
the answer Of the people will not be doubtful.

gentlemen who think to make new hght 1or
Democracy. as now understood, upon the ap-
peals to Northern forbearance and sympathy
on which they won the former-for Democ-

mistaken. They have taken the issue too Tar
back they have removed it to 1860 lnstead
Of 1874. And the State Rights doctrine has
NOT Gained strength or support at the North

The Ring which was busy at Albany four
wears ago trying to legaze the purchase of
District of Columbia bonds by savings banks,
is at work still, il seems. \ bill TO this effect
was ordered to a third reading in the Assem-
bis Yesterday. This scheme has encountered
the protests of two AttOrneys-General for OBJ
yioas reasons, and ought not to be converted
into law.
The Union soldiers do seem to have rather
hard time Of IT. At least OF the five veterans
whom tho Democratic Senate has just dis
charged was starved by the ConfederateS in
SoVthern prisons. and is now thrust out of
his modest place, perhaps to starve, by
Copfederates again. The old mans question
-" Which was right i"-has gone out of date.
The North was right, bat the South is enjoy
ing the fruits of the victory
Let it be recorded that the Senate declined
Yesterday to make a grab for mileage for the
extra session Mr.. .Edmunds, evidently fearing
thas those who are always lying In wait for
perqgsites would vote mileage TO Senators
who he'd not left Washington at all between
the tyn sessions, as well as TO the new Sen
ators, moved to amend a proposition for gen
eral mileage by excluding the class which had
doDe no travelling from the receipt of money
for travelling expenses. But the Senate ac-
tuaily refused 10 interfere at all with the
present statute which makes an allowance
only for each regular session The mileage
hunters must therefore possess their souls in
patience until next Winter.

HOW TWO HUNDRED POUNDS OF pow
1 DER WENT OFF IN THE HAeLEY
YARDS. y - .. = - q
The people living at Dupont's Banks
were awakened from their matln slum-
hers at just five minutes of five o'clock
this morning, by loud and deafening
explosion that ratified the windows in
the easements and shook, the houses from
TOP to bottom. The explosion was
heard quite plainly in this city and
while people wondered what damage
had been done, they generally made the
remark, "only another of Dupont's little
puffs." e A. 1900 go
But the explosion was something more
than of usual extent, and although no in
jury of much account was done to any
one, it was only miracle in the time of
the occurrenc, that prevented it. The
explosion was in the Hagley yard. This
yard is the middle one of the three own
ed by +. l. Dupont de Nemours q Co.,
and is just above Ris ng Sun. The
powder that went off was in the powder
rolling mill. In the rolling mill there is
usually from one to two hundred pounds
of powder and the usual quantity was
there at the time. The mill was run
ming at the time, but the men who tend
to it had not yet come to their work.
Had they been about the resu t would
have been fatal.
The cause of the explosion was the
igniting of a few grains of powder by
friction, somewhere about the machine
ry, and the whole quantity of powder
went off with terrific noise, as already
stated. The roof was blown off the
building and fragments cast into all parts
of the yard and to the other side Of the
Brandywine, that rms close by. The
walls were also in measure injured but
owing 10 the fact that they are of the
heaviest possible nature the damage up
on them will be inconsiderable.
One man in remote part of the yard
was struck by flying fragment of the
roof, or of the stone wall and slightly in
jured. His name could not be learned
He was the only one about and the only
one injured in any way.
A GAZETTE reporter, who visited the
entrance of the yard, found every one
possessing the utmost equanimity, a.
though nothing had occurred, and de-
cided effort was, of course, made to con
ceal every hing in regard to the affair.
The last explosion of any account tina
occurred at these works, was about three
years ago.
