The Duty OF Congress.

The Philadelphia Times says; al
the Democratic leaders of Congress
desire to act wisely for the welfare OF
the country and for the welfare OF
their party, they will resolutely resist
all efforts at legislation on any other
subject than the necessary appropria-
ton bills and the legislation germano
thereto.
The country wants peace. Busi-
ness is more healthy to-day than it has
been at any time since the panic of
1873. 1t has reached the bottom of
depression, and needs but to be let
alone to advance surely, however slow
ly, towards the prosperity the nation
needs above all things.
No legislation of any kind can
hasten the tide of substantial thrift in
commerce, industry and trade, but f.
nancial tinkering and political strife
may greatly hinder it.
The people have come back at last
to the sound doctrine that the only way
to make money is 10 earn it and the
only way to wealth is through frugal
ity. They have listened to the dema-
gogues who hoped for political pre-
terment out of the misiortuncs of their
fellows, and have dismissed the dclu-
sion.
The business interests of the country,
like other convalescing patients, are
sensitive and liable TO relapse from
trivial causes and no one cause could
more surely give renewed business
paralysis than sectional disquiet from
Congressional agitation, or the general
distrust that must follow such action
by Congress a will stamp uncertainty
upon the financial policy of the ma
ton.
Every dictate of wisdom and pa
triotism demands that Congress pass
the needed appropriation bills, with
the repeal of the test oath for jurors
and the use of troops at elections, and
the notifications of the national elcc-
ton laws so rs to afford the best pos
sible guarantees against fraud, and
then adjourn"

IT is claimed by the Republicans
that by the recent election of Mayor in
Cincinnati, by II majority of AZ, they
obtained great party victory, and an
emphatic condemnation Of thc deter
mination Of the Democratic Congress
to eliminate from the statutes the vii.
lainous test oath, the authority to Use
the army in controlling elections, and
the employment Of deputy marshals
and supervisors to manipulate the polls
in the interest of fraud. The majority
for the Republican candidate was
somewhat meagre upon which to erect
so large an edifce, but our Republi.

the past two weeks? When has de
bate in Congress been so free, so able,
so unrestrained and yet so temperate

duct of public business in the House

When has legislation been more care
fully prepared and more thoroughly
maturcd by those responsible for it :?
When by Monday adjournments has
the orderly business of the House been
better protected? When have the only
true conservative American doctrines
Of State rights aud liberty protected by
law been more worthily, more earnest
ly, or more calmly vindicated than by
Southern men? What have candid
Republicans to say of the constrast
between the speeches of men like
Frye, Conger aud Garfield, and the
speeches even of Representatives elect
ed as Nationals? If the majority in
Congress continues to move steadily
onward in the path it has trod since
the extra session began, puts the army
into its proper place, organizes Impair
lial juries for the Federal courts and
brings it to pass that State elections
shall be honestly managed by State
officers, Democrats need have no fear
Of the popular verdict, no matter
what a Federal Executive, who was
never chosen by the people or by the
States, may say or do. The people
will have government which shall
trust the people aud which the people
