Democracy Anxious for Office.
Washington, April 23.-There was a
sharp discussion in the senate to-day
over the resolution to rescind the rule
regarding the removal of the senate
employees, in which the democrats suf-
fered. The republicans assailed the
course of the democrats and put them
on the defensive. An amend
ment proposed by Pendleton, that the
employees shall only be retained so long
as it was acceptable to majority of
the senate, was adopted by vote of SO
to %. The discussion continued until
the expiration of the morning hour
without the resolution being dis
posed of.

Senator Davis Speaks.

Washington, April 23.-Prominent
democrats in congress express great
qualification with the speech delivered
in the senate yesterday by Judge Davis,
of Illinois, and attach much Importance
to it as means of influencing public
sentiment. Its general character was
a surprise, for everyone expected legal
argument from the ex-justice of the
supreme court rather than plain talk
in popular and somewhat discur-
sive vein, which embodied his conclu-
sions without any elaborate statement
of the processes of reasoning by which
he reached them, and without indeed
making any attempt to establish the
truth of several important propositions
upon which these conclusions were
primarily based. His speech, neverthe-
less, produced stirring impression,
and was listened to on both sides Of
the chamber with close attention. Al
striking passage was that in which he
referred to his personal intimacy with
President Lincoln, and emphatically
expressed his belief that so far from
there being any foundation for the idea
that the repeal of the law in question
would he reflection upon the memory
of the president who signed it, Mr..
Lincoln, if now alive, would be one of
the first to desire its obliteration from
the statute books, together with other
war measures not needed in time of
peace.
Senator Davis assumes that the ex-
listing authority for the use of troops to
keep the peace at federal elections,
originated in time Of war, and that it
is no longer needed, will undoubtedly be
made the basis for some very trouble
some replies, for which several republic
can leaders were to-day observed to be
taking notes during the delivery of the
judges complacent remarks from his
carefully prepared manuscript.

THE RENO TRIAL
walton.

The tenor of the dispatches from Fort
Meade, renders it quite evident that the in
vestigation now being conducted by the court
martial in relation to the very serious charg-
es preferred against Major Reno, will result in
the acquittal of that officer. The preponder-
ance of testimony in his behalf seems to be
based on the fact that the prisoneri is not the
only officer of the post who gets drunk, boist-
erous and warlike. Other military gentle
men of Fort Meade, it appears, have been On
many occasions fully as much intoxicated as
was Major Reno. The testimony elected
shows that gambling, drinking and other
vices are very common at the officers quarters,
and to punish Reno for indiscretions of which
many of his brother officers are occasionally,
if not frequently guilty, would be so mani
testify unjust that his dismissal from service,
which it was generally thought would be his
sentence, is not likely to be recommended by
the court.
However, the investigation has already had
one good effect. 1t has opened the eyes of
Congress to the fact as brought out IN the
testimony that the young officers of the army,
the men on whose nerve, endurance and
brains the country would be dependent in
case of war, are weakening their bodies, ruin
ing their morals and destroying their intel
lects by midnight carouses, excessive drink
ing and indulgence in a dozen other forms of
enervating dissipation. Accordingly, on the
4th instant, Senator Plumb, OF Kansas, in
PRODUCED a bill in Congress providing for an
additional article of war which shall prohibit
all gambling by the officers and soldiers of
the regular army. There is little doubt that
the measure will receive favorable action at
the hands of the national law makers.

From the fact that we hear no more COLI

1t IS necessary in order to preserve a solid

for the preservation of a solid South that Re-
publican corruption shall be discovered.

perhaps, the best mineral and agricultural
land in that State, and their removal there
from is sincerely to be desired provided they
can be placed where they will not retard pro
sress to an equal extent in some other State
or Territory. This proviso, however, does
not enter into the calculations of Mi. Bedford.
AS long as the Utes are removed from Colo
RADIO, he cares not what other section of the
country they aflict, and doubtless thinks that
Idaho or Montana, being far from his little

place for the establishment of the new reser,

There seems 10 be a general desire on the
part of the leaders Of both parties in the pres
ent Congress to leave the financial question
severely alone. They seem to understand
that the people are satisfied with the money in
present circulation, and that however many
improved measures p" they could bring up,
the result of making their schemes public
would be the instant loss of their popularity.
1t is deemed wise therefore to let we'll enough
alone, as further experiments would be dam
gerous to our prosperity.

A SELFISH CONGRESSMAN.

The bill just introduced in Congress by
Bedford for the removal of the Utes provides
that all laws establishing a reservation for the
Utes in Colorado shall be repealed and that
lands constituting such reservation shall be-
come public domain. 1t further provides that
the President, with the consent of the Senate,
shall appoint five commissioners to select in
some one of the Territories, a reservation for
the Utes and arrange with them for a peaceful
removal. The bill proposes an appropriation
of 100000 to meet the expenses of removal.
Representative Bedford may be an able pol
~itician, and is, perhaps, very DESTROYS of pro-
noting the interests of his constituents, but
the above extract from our dispatches of We'd
nesday proves that he is narrow minded, sell
fish and dishonorable. The mere fact that a
man is elected to Congress from one State
does not justify him in endeavoring to secure
legislation inimical to the interest of any other
section of the country. No statesman will
consider that he performs his duty simply by
attending to the private wants of his few con-
stituents. No patriotic Congressman will
regard the particular district in which he
happens to be elected as the only part of the
country possessing a claim On his time and
ability.
If a representative from California were to
bring up a bill providing for the removal Of
the Chinese to Colorado, the gentleman from
the Centennial State would be very apt to
characterize the proposed measure as a grossly
unfair n villainous imposition, and would
in all probability stigmatize the proposer as a
senssless and corrupt political ~demsgogue,
whose sole aim was to make money by engi-
neering ~disreputable jobs through Congress.
It may be urged that in using the words som
of the Territories" he intended more partic-
ular reference TO Indian Territory, to which
we contend all the aborigines in the West
should be removed, but If that was the idea
