the portraits of two arch-rebels alongside
that of the Father of His Country upon the
anniversary of an event which gave life to
a Republic which LEE and JACKSON didnll
in their power to destroy, involves alike an
Inconsistency aud an exhibition OF disloy-
atty which cannot be defended or excused.
This our cotemporory must admit, and
hence should not resent the ullusion of " F."
to it with so much apparent ill-feeling. 1t
is the constant repetition of such needless
and offensive acts as these that keep alive
the bitterness of alienation and strife which
prevent the two sections from being unified
and fraternized in feeling, sentiment, and
interest.

IT appears from recent developments that
WADE HAMPToN's election to tho United
States Senate from South Carolina was due
TO his having been kicked by mule more
than to any other one single fact, When
that inglorious incident in his career cul-
minated in the amputation of his leg, the
women Of the State at large began to pray
for him in response to the opportunities Of
some of his more religious admirers, and
thereby an impulsiye sympathy was created
in his behalf which served TO silence all OPP
position to him. If this situation had not
prevailed it is quite probable that General
MAT GARY, Of red-shirt Democracy fame,
or some other rival, would have appeared to
contest his election on the gronnd that he
is an imposter and not q steadiast repre-
sentative of the principles of Palmetto
Bourbonism. This charge is in part sus-
tanned by the awful assertion that HAMP-
TON once "dined with lot of niggers.'
Aud the assertion is undoubtedly true, for
it is known that in his campaign for Gov
ernor, in 1873 he did visit the Clailin Insti-
tute, negro college, and not only partici-
pated in the commencement exercises but
partoolS of a dinner with the faculty. AT

Carolina gives 20 hor citizens, and SwArrs Is
entitled 30 e MS fully aud completely rs any
other citizen OF any State Is The General
Government cannot intervene to compel the
State 30 kcepits engagements. For their ful-
flment the guarantee Is tho learning and in.
teerity of the courts aud The consciousness Of
the people at large that it is to their interest
to enforce the law and be governed by 1t.
If the assurance now given by the No'os
and Courier had any validity beyond its
bare utterance, oil controversy on that
question would end. But nobody knows
better than those Republicans like Mr.
SwAIrs, who have been prosecuted into
rciugeesm on account of their political
principles, that these assurances are rs hol-
low as every other pledge given on that
side in the interest of conciliation. The
first open raid was made upon Mr.. SwAILs
while he was in attendance upon Repub-
lican meeting, when he was besct by body
of mounted and armed men, who surrounded
and escorted him into the town where he
then resided and where his family still
remain, and where in the court house he
would have lost his life but for the inter
position of friends. Shortly after this n
committee of Democrats called upon him
formally and gave him notice that unless
he left his home and family and departed
from the State they would not he respon-
siblc for his personal safety. lie left and
came TO Washington, where he still re-
mains. Does that chapter of history show
that the Government of South Carolina
holds n, cnr fltn .srnnratitnnG nf ita
constitution? If it had, neither mob nor
n committee, could have driven Mr. SwA1r-s
out OF the State when the constitution de-
clares that no person shall be despoiled OF
his immunities and privileges without pro-
cess of law. Bat the constitution is not
respected, and Mr.. SwAiI-s had to go. That
fact is sufficient to show the hollowness ol
the guarantees worded in the organic law
of the State. Good preaching aud bad
practice do not work well in convincing the
public mind.
Then the Ncics and Courier says: The
General Government cannot intervene TO
compel the State to keep its engage
ments.' Our cotemporary has n poor
memory for history, or it would not so soon
have forgotten that in 1861 the State ol
South Carolina violated its engagements tc
the General Government, and that in 1866
the General Government had intervenet
with its power and had compelled the STATE
to keep its engagements to the Union. W.
arc greatly surprised that our cotempo-
rary should cultivate such an abridgmen
of memory or such q profound ignorance o

THE policy of making water an expen-
sive luxury instead of convenient COM
modify ora cheap necessity might have been
established in this District years ago when
the water works were first built, without
much opposition but it will not do now.
The people have become accustomed to its
free and unrestrained use for sanitary and
household purposes and they will not sub
nit now to au increase in the taxes therefor
without protest. After all that has been
said on this subject, however, no one has
yet attempted to show why our water de-
partment should be made source of
profit TO the District government. Every
one who talks or thinks about it regrets
that it is not rs free as air; and if the Dis
trict Commissioners were desirous of com
plying with the public demand in this mat
ter their efforts would be directed TO the re-
duction of water rates instead of an in-
crease. Let the city and District at large
be taxed for the support of our water sys-
TEN, and reduce the rates for service in
dwellings, at least to the lowest possible
figure, so that the enjoyment and con-
venience of its use for bathing, cleansing and
other household purposes shall be within
the reach of the poorest among us.

EVEN Senator THURMAN descends to the
most contemplate prevarication in attempt
ing to explain the great victory" won by
the Bourbons in the late extra session of
Congress. He insinuates indirectly that
they succeeded in maintaining the princi-
"ple that the Federal Government shall not
interfere in the election of officers of the
States" The fact is that no one ever at
tempted to assert the right Of the Federal
Government to such an interference All
that has ever been claimed in its behalf by
Republicans in Congress or elsewhere is the
right to supervise the election of its own
officials. This il not and cannot possibly be
construed as an interference with State
elections, unless it is admitted that mem
bers of Congress and Presidential electors
are officers of the States. If Mr.. THURMAN
believes they are, let him say so in so many
words; but if he does, it will be at the risk
of his reputation as a man of ordinary com,
mon sense.

THE Democratic newspapers are all de-
claring that it never was the intention of
Congress TO refuse to the Judiciary the neces-
sary money supplies to carry on its legiti-
mate work. But Congress did it, all these
declarations to the contrary notwithstand-
ing; and when it is proposed that the
United States marshals, who are the minis
terial agents of the Judiciary, shall 90 ahead
and execute all of the laws which remain
unrepealed relating TO their duties, these
same scribblers join in the further declnra-
ton that Congress VIII refuse to make re-
quiste deficiency appropriation for their
remuneration. Sensible people will not
fail to see in this Inconsistency of assertion

LIEUrENANr-GovEK DoRsHEIMER.

LIEU iENANi-boNFS FShNOh oofShEiMEN.
This distinguished politician of New
York seems just now to be in bad way,
and under the nursing care of the New York
Tribune and Sun The cause ofhis present
political condition is that the Lieutenant
Governor indulged too freely in the Fourth
of July at Tammany Hall, where he got
up a rhetorical pyrotechnic display,
which has scared his fingers and scorched
his eyebrows and what there is left
of him has fallen into the hands of the
Tribune and Sun, where cremation is
going on over slow but steady fire. DORIS
HEIMER appears to have been quite un-
fortunate in his Tammany Hall effort. His
rhetoric and his subject were far above the
heads and comprehension of his audience
He talked of popular educatian and such
matters, in which Tammany and its votN-
ries neither take any interest nor have any
knowledge In the course of his scholastic
and stilted effort he called attention to the
danger of being educated beyond their sta
tion, and alluded to "the differences of con.
dition, every day becoming wider anG
deeper, give ample security agans
it, This was poser for the De
mocracy, and every sachem begar
scratching his head to scrape therefrom som,
idea of what such use of terms could pos
sibly mean. His anti-Tammnny opponent
seized upon this expression and began I,
inquire, "What sort of Democracy do yor
call this ?" And thereupon DoRsHEINIEI
took fright and began to deny that he hat
ever said what they said he said. This de
parture from the text of his discourse cooke,
DoRsHEIMER's gubernatorial goose, and h
is now wondering what has happened tina
the sun of his aspirations should have beei
so suddenly eclipsed.
Mr.. DoRsHEIMER has our warmest sym
pathies in this sudden turn in his wheel 0
fortune. He is an educated gentleman, a
orator. and a statesman. But his organiza
ton is not balanced with artistic skill A
Republican he was highly rCspectabl
until his ambition became subject t
disappointment, and by some strang
phenomena he was thrown into tn
Democratic party in 1872, where his educ q

came into fair play in sustaining q Reput
lican candidate for the Presidency on til
Democratic platform. This venture failet
but DoRsHEIMER survived. He was mad
Lieutenant-Governor to compensate his sci
vices in behalf Of Mr.. GREELEY and tn
