WHY DON'T THEY GO noMEq


The Comedy of Errors" has been on the
stage at the Capitol, under the direction OF
the Gar of the Caucus for some two months,
without any dividend to the country, save
that which has come Of more full and per-
feet understanding of the intentions and
purposes of the actors The extra session
was called by the President for n special
purpose-to provide, by appropriations, for
the necessities of the nation. The Demo-
Gratis by their ma ority in both Houses,
wete clothed with full power to pass the
appropriation bills within two weeks, If
their purposes and intentions had been hon
est but they put themselves in the hands
of caucus, and have followed the pro-
gramme of conspiracy which sought to ac-
complish certain party purposes inconsist-
ent with the public veal under the menace
of submission to their behests or the bring
ing of starvation TO the Government
Twice these caucus conspirators have
made assaults upon the national welfare
and in each instance they have been re-
pulsed and left helpless on the scene oi
action by the hand OF the Executive. They
are now consulting what it is best to do
They find themselves harmless for evil and
without any disposition for good 80 they
arc just now engaged in nursing their Gus
g sedness," while they are waiting like theil
yeritable prototype MAcAwBER, for some
thing to turn up" In this way they have
excited alarm throughout the country b!
their insane performances, and have brough
no good results by way of compensation
Their trumpeter has relapscd into sullel
silence, or it would advise the Democracy Il
throw up the sponge, retire from the ring
and go home at this period in the contro
versy. This they dare not do. They hav
not the courage to consummate the ful
measure Of their contemplated mischief
nor to so home and meet their constituent
face to face. So they are now halting unde
the promptings of pervescness and cow
ardice, the objects of mingled pity and con
tempt.

der "a free ballot" the total vote was
81 800, the Republican vote being 2,OG7.
The sixth district, represented by JAMES
RONALD CHALMERS of Fort Pillow, is com
posed of all the counties along the Missis-
sippi River, and was made after the Demo-
Gratis got control of the State for the pur-
pose of massing as many negroes as possible
in one district. The district contained, ac-
corling to the census of 1870, 5000 white
and 2O,000negr voters. 1t is not pretended
but what the negro vote of this district has
increased largely since the census was taken,
and yet JAMES RONALD CHALMERS, of Fort
Pillow, represents (?) it on 6,G63 votes
against $40 cast for a Republican. The
(so-callcd) Representatives, from Mississippi
represent an average of 5000 voters. If
these men knew what shame was they
would blush when they think of these fig
ures. Is il to be wondered at that the
negroes are fleeing from country where
they are denied their rights as citizens?

ship and the Professor have gone into the
dry dock of disappointment, without any
service to perform except in the field OF
idlcuess This enterprise, like many others
in life, fails because there was wider
spirit of dead-hcndsm extant than of
genuine liberality under confidence in the
success and benelicence of the scheme.
There were far more who were willing to
20 free that they might lend the charm of
their presence to the voyage and give II
rsspectability, than of those who were
ready to plank down their $500 with half
as much moro for extras, to render the en-
tcrprisc paying one, and hence it is stated
the bubble has bursted. The men who in
vested their money and have sunk it have
our deepest sympathies, as has the Amherst
Professor who is left high and dry by the
failure, and especially do we feel for that
class who hoped to secure II free excursion
around the world in mendicant sort of
luxury, and are now bewailing their sore
disappointment. This latter class are the
greatest sufferers for they put in their
thumb and didn't pull out plumb.
