RH~ Who was it that said the Yankee
yellow fever fund had reunited our Re-
public in bonds of brotherly love; that
there would be no more hard passages
at arms between the North and the
South; that the lion had laid down with
the lamb, and all that kind of fol-de-

Bay- Let no one be deceived II the
folly of Withholding supplies from the
Government be committed, let no one
be deceived as to the result. A more
powerful weapon than such an act fur

of the Republicans, who have lived for
ten years on the blunders of their po-
litical enemies. s.-MemphiS Avalanche

D1~ Mr.. Blackburn proclaims that he
will stand up with his face to the foe
and Z" shoot off his mouth until he ex-
pires by limitation in his tracks ON the
Sd of March, 1881, unless he can have
his own way with the Appropriation
bills. Mr.. Blackburn ought to be re-
minded that the country has heard last
ditch talk before.-N. Y. Tribune.
Raya General Garfield said, "We are
a Nation" with a capital N. The
Louisville Courier-Journdl responds,
"We are, indeed, Mr.. Garfield, a ma
ton of States" with little n and cap
ital S. This is the Democratic idea.
By the way, when the Southern Demo-
Gratis attempted to form a separate
Government, they did not commit the
folly of talking about "a nation of
States" They said a confederacy of
States. They were, at least, logical

Rta5~ 1t is an old doctrine in the South
that the white race of that region was
born to rule in that region. But yes
terday Mr.. Singleton, of Mississippi,
went little further and asserted that
the Democratic party, which is con-
trOlled by the Southern wing, has q
hereditary right to rule" the entire
country. The mass of the people for a
good many years past, have entertained
different opinion, and if Singleton
and his colleagues go on in the present
Congress as they have begun it will
probably be found in 1880 that the peo-
pie are still sticking to that theory. -

Eas~ The Confederate raiders who as
sumo, upon the basis of their own in
tolerance, backed by the pistol and the
whip, that their implacable provincial
ism and spirit of taste, to rule the
whole country, and who presume to
attempt the revolutionary programme
of attaching their insulting legislation,
striking at the Executive, and the
army, and the courts of the Nation, to
Appropriation bills-and to whom thus
far the Northern Democrats have pros
trated themselves, with their hands on
their mouths and their mouths in the
dust-these raiders should, if they
must run against anything, find some
thing hard and pointed, like the mar

BdE- The New York Sun, about rs
bitter Democratic paper as lives, SAYS
TO the Democratic Senate that "the
election of Burch to be Secretary and
Bright to be Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Senate was a scandal and a blunder.
The Democratic Senators from TeRnes-
see and Indiana, who vouched for the
character of their respective candi-
dates, may be the only persons who are
responsible for the scandal, but the con-
sequences of the blunder rest upon the
whole party. There are serious charges
against the personal character of these
men. Against each there is evidence
enough to make a strong eJ pGrte case.
Neither Burch nor Bright has yet ex-
planned in a satisfactory manner the
damaging facts brought out by the Re-
publican press. They may be able to
do so, or they may not. We do not be-
lieve in convicting men upon er pdrte
testimony. We do not believe in put
ting indicted men into high offices and
then calling upon them to make their
defense"
