IF you will consult Democratic authority
you will find that there has been no back
downs by the Democrats during the present
session. But go among the people through
out the country who are close observers Of
public events and there is no diversity of
opinion on this point Democrats and Re-
publicans alike agree that the Democrats
have retreated from every position Of any
importance taken by themselves at the out
set of the session. They threatened to wipe
out all the measures born Of the war. They
threatened to starve the Government if
their riders" were not respected by the
President. And these are not all the threats
that have been Illuminated by Democratic
orators in Congress and their organs
throughout the country; and yet not q
"rider" survives Nor have the war meas
ures been wiped out. Nor has the Govern
ment been subjected to starvation. Some
body, then, must have backed down, and it
isn't the President. So the people think

SIR on the occasion of your honoring Hong
Kong with your presence, we the undersigned, on
behalf of the Chinese community approach TO give
YOU a hearty welcome and beg to present to you an
address expressive Of our high esteem and respect
for you,
During your Presidency your great name and
noble deeds were well known far aud wide, and by
the carrying out of Just policy you commanded
admiration and respect from all classes OF people
under your rule.
We have been delighted to find that in interna-
tOnal questions YOU have shown n spirit of impair
tlality and fairness, treating Americans and for.
eigners alike, and the Chinese who have been trad
ing in the United States have sung and continue
to sing praises of the many good actions dono by
you while In office.
We had longed to see you, but, being far away,
we were hitherto not permitted to realize our wish
Now that you have favored us with visit, we
avail ourselves Of the opportunity to present you
with a scroll inscribed with these four words
Benefit TO Chinese People" which we hope may
serve u souvenir of yonr interview with the Chi.
nese community of Hong Kong
General Grant replying, said Mr.. Ng Choy and
gentlemen. thank you for this valuable address II
will he kept by me as pleasing memento of the
Chinese community of Hong Kong. In other colo
MES, during my recent travels, have also met
countrymen Of yours and have found the rulers
of those colonies recognizing your good qualities
of frugality, industry and enterprise. Such quail
ties go far to account for the prosperous condition
in which | see you all here l am now leaving
Hong Kong to visit your country and am sure
shall see much that will be very Interesting to me
FOR thls nhusOthc nuureSs must asalll tiiuh you
| most sincerely, ana shalt never forget the kind
| ness shown to ME By the people here. / wish tha
| prosperity may continue to be enjoyed by you.
At the request ofiIis EXcelency the Governor, Mr.
| Ng Choy introduced the other members OF the dep
utation TO the General.
The dcputation then withdrew.
The address, which wasslxteen feet long by four
| feet wide aud extremely handsome was em
| brodercd in gold strip of crimson satin about
ten feet long, with rich deep border eXquisitey
embroidered, The characters were written Chi

IT strikes us that the press generally and

more time in discussing GLOVER aud his

TIE Harrisburg pa Patriot has levitated
itself so far above the ordinary level OF
Northern Democratic Doughfaceism as TO
speak of its Southern masters here in WASH
ington as Bourbons. This must have been
the result of an accident or, possibly, the
Patriot editor was dcsirous of emulating the
example of those masters aforesaid, and
therefore attempted to do something from
which he would be compelled to back down.
He certainly will be expected to apologize
sooner or later for this incidental betrayal
of absolute truth in his mudsill columns,
FRANK HURD was in Congress while its
speeches were printed in the Globe. He has
returned and has recently made speech,
which the Record says is withheld for re-
vision, though the aforesaid effort appears
in ertenSo in the Democratic organ of Sat
urday morning. A Democrat suggests that
HURD is yet ignorant of the fact that the
speech-printing business has been trans
ferred from the Globe Office to the Govern
ment Printing Office, and hence he sent his
manuscript directly to the old Globe Office,
and as it was not furnished to the Record
the usual stereotype announcement Of
withheld for revision was made.
THE rural districts, so to speak, are now
being heard from regarding the CoNKLtNG-
LAMAR affair, and it is amusing to note the
comments of some of the more belligcrent
stalwart editors of that widespread region
thereon. The Iowa State Register, for ex-
ample, thinks Mr. CoNKLTNG missed his
"never-dying opportunity whatever that
is by not pounding the sass" out of La
MAR. This bellicose remark is especially
notable because it is an indication of great
change of opinion regarding such matters in
the rank aud file of the Republican party
change that will now sustain, instead OF
denounce, retort in kind as well as more
extreme measures by Republicans when
they are assailed by the Southern Chiyalry
THE Hon. DAVID DAVIS has been invited
by the Dallas (TeNas) Herald to mako the

would imagine that this allusion to fences
is in the nature of q political slur, aud il
