represented in either house of Congress
and we think that they had no right in law
or equity to voice in the ratification Of the
amendments. But others think differently
and have right to their belief. It is mere
~ an abstract belief, for the supreme court
having declared the amendments legal and
operative, they have no resort but to obey
them.
We regret greatly that this discussion has
been forced upon the Senate. 1t can accom-
push no good, and is occupying the time
that should be devoted to the public bust
ness. 1t will fail as political dodge, for the
Democracy cannot be driven into q position
hostile to the constitution or any of its
amendments. They have already expressed
themselves in favor of declaration affirm
ing the validity of the results accomplished
but do not propose to be committed in favor
OF the assertion that the States that were
temporarily out of the Union had no rights
IN the premises. 70 do SO would be to deny
the right of the representatives Of the party
TO free opinion on what every one will ao.
knowledge to be debatable ground. II
would be at variance with the policy of the
organization, for it has always accorded tc
al the utmost freedom to hold and to OK
press whatever opinions they might thinl
to be right.
Less than month of the existence of the
present Congress remains, and yet the Sen.
ate has scarcely considered any of the ap
preparation bills that must be passed before
the 4th of March. The time has been frit.
tered away in useless and hurtful political de-
hate-in attempts to excite sectional ami
mosltles for partisan purposes. These de.
bates have been causeless, and have beer
precipitated uniformly by the Republican
members for no avowed public good what.

sible, and must inevitably react upon the

We should not, perhaps, rejoice at the
calamities of others, yet when benefit comes
to US by reason of them, we may not be
blameworthy for taking advantage of the
circumstances. The Russian plague, it ap-
pears, is likely to very materially benefit the
farmers of this country by creating an in
creased demand for breadstufs on the con-
tlnent, and an increase of prices and brisk
er trade is expected to ensue. The plague is
seyerssL in the grain producing section of
Russia, which has hitherto supplied large
part OF the continent. Fear of spreading
the epidemic will prevent exports, and it is
not probable that the same amount of grain
Will be sown the coming spring. If these
speculations prove true cur farmers will have
reason Of thankfulness. It's an ill wind
that blows no one good.

THE CIPHER INYESTIG dTTON

The inquiry into the alleged cipher dis
patches was begun at New York on Wednes-
day, and Smith Weed, one of the 'coparcen-
ers,' was put upon the stand Out of a
score OF more of dispatches that have been
imputed to him, he acknowledged the
paternity of but two, and these not of a
very alarming character-at least for Mr..
Iilden. He acknowledges having entered
into negotiations with the South Carolina
electors, and found that he could purchase
them, but Mr.. Tilden would not listen to
any such proposition. In what be did he
acted entirely without authority of Mr.
Tilden or any one in his confidence, and all
efforts of the Republican members of the
committee to draw fxom him an acknowl-
edgment that Tilden was privy to his con-
duct failed. he insisted, ON the contrary,
that that gentleman knew nothing whatever
of what was being done.
MI. Weed denied the authenticity of the
alleged TRANSACTIONS placed upon his tele-
grams, but he did not give his version of
their meaning. This is to be regretted, for
it would satisfy great deal of curiosity to
ascertain just how near the New York
Tribune came to defining the mystery at
tached to them. It will be gratifying, how
ever, to fix the responsibility of the tele-
grams where it belongs. Mr.. Weed has not
performed very creaitable part, even if we
give him full allowance for all of his own
pretensions of virtue. One thing he and his
friends may as we'll understand: The faint
of corruption will hereafter attach to what
ever transactions he may engage in, and the
sooner he takes back seat and surrenders
all claims as political manager the better
it will be for both himself and his party.
Probably the most suggestive evidence
given was that of Edward Cooper, Mayor of
New York, who exhibited the books of the
National Democratic committee. BY them
it was shown that there had been expended
but $15,34O from the day of election up to
the present time. When we recall the fact
that representatives Of the party were sont to
and there maintained for several weeks, it
Will be self-evident that no corruption could
have taken place. This single fact is suffici-
ent to relieve the party of all suspicion of
having consented to any transactions other
than those that will bear the fullest scrutiny.
We are glad that it has been brought out, for
it will add greatly to the credit of the party
and its chosen representatives. We have
never entertained even the faintest suspicion
that the charges Of corruption were founded
in fact, but the fact stated will dispel what
ever distrust may be lingering in the minds
of others.

followed farming and teaching school. Since
