Unconditional Surrender.

The breakdown of the Democrats in
resDect to two of the bills which they
asserted their determination to insist
upon 'sto the bitter end" is now COM
piete. They have passed the Legisla-
tive Appropriation bill without any of
the political conditions originally de-
manded so stubbOrnly as to render
necessary an extra session and subse-
0uent veto. IN fact, the bill was put
into such shape that no Republican
voted against it, and the twenty-five
negative votes were all cast by last
ditch" Democrats. 1t will be under
stood by the country that this uncondi-
tional surrender by the majority of the
Democrats was not more merItorlous
than that of the rebels at Fort Donel-
son. The ''last ditch leaders were
those who originally controlled the
Democratic caucus, caused the extra
session and committed the party to the
plan of cOercing the Executive or stop
ping the wheels of Government.
The proceedings as to the Army bill
were still more discreditable to the
Democrats. The bill originally passed,
as the Presidents veto showed, was in
tended to deprive the Government OF
all power to employ its military force
in enforcing its election laws, or in sus-
tanning its officials in the prevention OF
fraud or violence at the polls. This
was the measure which the Democratic
caucus solemnly resolved to insist upon
as a condition of the further support OF
the Army. When the majority found
that it could not hold itself together in
the attempt to cOerce the Executive,
the committee of exploration framed a
bill which merely prohibits the use OF
troops "as a police at the polls" mas
much as no Republican of any sort or
shade has ever desired to have a single
soldier employed in that way, the bill
was satisfactory to the Republicans OF
the House. and they moved to pass it
Immediately. But the measure does
not seem to have been equally satisfac-
tory to the Democrats, though they did
not dare to permit direct vote upon
it without further laboring with the
stubborn brethren. Accordingly, near
ly all the Democrats voted to adjourn,
while every Republican except two
voted in favor of immediate action up
on the bill. In the end, the Army bill
will also pass without any feature of a
coercive cbaIacter.-N. Y. Tribune.

At War With the Facts.

The following statement has been
made to do frequent service by class
OF Journals whose utterances frequently
lead one to believe that the men who
were on the wrong side in the late war
now mOnOpOlize all of the patriotism
and wisdom that the managers of such
journals do not possess:
Northern travellers fresh from the
south and republicans themselves re-
port the business men of that section as
longing equally with the commercial
class OF the north for cessation of this
prolonged and vain political wrangling
at Washington. Most of all they ask
for peace, for opportunity to develop
their material interests, to retrieve their
fallen fortunes. The wisest of them are
only too glad to welcome the assistance
of northern capital and northern brains.
Be it remembered, too, that the south
stands substantially with the east on
the financial issue"
it the above is true, the business men
of the south have no weight in politics
The men who introduced the wrangline
at Washington and have kept it up
come chiefly from the south. At least
they have no power to stop the wrang-
ling. Further, the men in Congress
from the south control the action of the
party which is responsible for the re,
vival of sectional issues in Congress an6
of sectional feeling throughout the
country. The business men OF the sOutl
must therefore be in such a minority al
to have no influence in the selection O
men to go to Congress. If there is any
thing but peace in the south, the loca
authorities are responsible for it, and i
the business element is not strong
enough to influence the local authori
ties, we scarcely see how business mel
can hope for peace. .lsN s. .

Would Eayes Run Again

Washington Dispatch to New York Herald.
NOBODY knows. | doubt if any man

fuse, but | say with great confidence
that he will not manipulate or work for
ii. 1t will not disturb his mind nor in
tlueuce his political action i'll the least.
He was perfectly sincere in what he
wrote, disciaiming any intention to look
for a second term, and you will see that
he will adhere to this strictly ill the
sense that he will absolutely abstain
from using the patronage or influence
of his office to secure q denomination.
But if he is clearly blameless in that re-
spect and resists that temptation, and
If. after all, the convention should re-
nominate him, he could, in my judg
ment, not only accept without any vio-
latiOn of d promise, but he would be the
stronger candidate with the people
under such circumstances. What some
of us see is that, with bis usual good
fortune, his conduct of the adminiStra-
ton begins to tell, not only with the
country, but with the party. 1t begins
to De seen that there are no great Scan
dalS in his administration. 1t is clean.
The public service has not been as hon
estiy o. as economically conducted for
many years. His policy has given the
country quiet and rest, and the demo-
Gratis have done MIN an invaluable ser
vice in giving him the opportunity to
show the stuff that is in him and his
opinions on this class of subjects. 1t is
year yet before the convention will
meet, and you may see that i'll that
time he will secure a strong foOthOtd
with the country and the party. So far
he has undoubtedly strengthened the
party with the country, and much
stranger Things have happened than his
denomination next year would be. But
he will not move toward it by any ma
nipulatiOn or use OF patronage just as
he did not turn finger to secure FOs-
ter's nomination, which is really Sher-
mails gain and strengthens the astute
secretary in ali his weak places.

as crimes, and it is not crime for a
