PITH OF THE PRESS.

Columbus Statesman: Colonel Woolley
will show Moses wh6 Is "wretched."
Chicago Inter Ocean tRep.): Looking at
the performances Of the uncle and nephew,
we feel particularly glad that there are no
| sons 10 swear
Louisville Post (Ind.): Neither party
seems to be winning much glory in this
Congress. Both are dreadfully uneasy, 1t
is to be regretted the worst fears of both
can not be realized.
New York Star (Dem.): The Cincinnati
Enquirer says that Tilden will get the NOM
ination or know the reason Why. He can
know the reason why without waiting for
his failure to get the nomination.
New Haven Union (tnd): Democrats
who read Republican sheets are apt to be
led into the belief that Senator Bayard is a
Republican, SO lavish is the praise accorded
by the radical journals to this scion Of aris-
tocracy. AS q matter of fact Bayard is
Just as good q Republican as President
Hayes.
Pittsburg Telegraph lind J: LET no man
be put out merely because he is friend 10
Mr.. Arthur, and no man be put in merely
because he is our friend" There is the
history of an administrative revolution,
and specimen of multum in parvo which
will stand comparison with the best of
Grants pithy sayings.
Boston Traveller (Rep.): Scores of New
York bellies would have sent Bachelor Til
den valentine, but they didn't know how
IN Unt tho loft Tor to q. f,,s
ther than to the door OF No. Is Gramercy
Park. And, of course. if they had been left
that way, he never would have seen them
or heard word about them. He never sees
letter that is sent 10 his house. At least
hardly ever.
St. Louis Post and Dispatch: Cincin-
natl will have very fine exposition this
fall, and that will be good reason for our
not undertaking one. But the intelligent,
energetic, public-spirted and wide-awake
Directors of the Fair can do neat piece of
business by laying out military pro-
gramme that will lay out anything else in
the country. and draw the crack companies
from Boston, Frisco, New York and every
other city in the Union, and if they do we
won't miss the Exposition.
New York Tribune (Rep.): Mr.. Represen-
tative Bragg doesn't seem TO have suffered
seriously from the recoil of his guns. al
though his volley OF grape was sufficiently
sweeping to throw the Solid South into a
universal futter. On the contrary, quite
the reverse. The Democrats in the Legisla-
lure of his own Wisconsin now pat him ap.
provingly on the back and call him a good
boy. This looks as if there might be two
kinds of Democrats after all, which would
not be fortunate thing for the red-hot
Southern kind and their obsequious under
lings in cooler latitudes.
New Orleans Democrat (Dem): Thomas
Settle, who was President of the Philadel-
phia Convention which nominated Grant
for second term, was a captain in the Con-
federae army, and an original and bitter
secessonist After the war. with that keen
prophetic drift which is the highest moral
quality known to Radical ethics, he turned
Republican, and was rewarded by Grant
with The district judgeship of Florida. III
that capacity he is now performing the
same dirty partisan work that Billings, in
this State and Bond, in South Carolina, are
engaged in-the arrest of reputable white
Democrats on the attidavits Of professional
perjurers in the employ of the fraudulent
administration, and in trying them before
iuries from which all the decency and vir-
tue of the State are excluded by test oath
these worthless could not take themselves.
New York Times [Rep.): The Anti
Democratic policy of the Mississippi Demo-
Gratis affects, and may Re said to control,
the political complexion of the House of
Representatives and influences that of the
Senate. Next year it may determine the
choice of the President. 1t is, therefore, a
grave concern for the entire nation, and
one which can not with safety be neglected.
1t is particularly the duty of the Republi-
can party to defend the country from the
consequences of this outrageous violation
of the principles of free government Their
first most imperative obligation is to oppose
at all hazards the repeal of the election law,
which, under President ready to do his
duty, and a Congress willing to support
him, may yet be found a potent instrument
to enable the people Of the South to rid
themselves of the despotism TO which they
are now in several States subjected.
