Clinton Locals.

Clinton Locals.
A little daughter of Mr.. Crosby Roundy of
Benton fell Nov. 18th, and dislocated her left
forearm at the elbow. The joint was badly
injured. Thursday, the thirteenth, the re-
mains of Mr.. Dennis Written, son of Mark
Written of Canaan, reached home from Cal
ifornia. He was crushed to death few days
since by heavy log while loading trucks.
Obsequies Saturday. This makes a strange
coincidence. as George Gowen, son of Samuel
Gowen, their nearest nei. hbor IN one direc-
ton, was instantly killed by log in the same
manner Oct. I'd. They were both estimable
young men.-Mrs. Cyrus Powell Of Clinton,
has an infant who when born had two under
teeth almost fully grown. What will anx-
ious mothers say to that, who have been
watching their darlings this six months or a
year for one to pip. Won't it make 'em
jealous?-Last evening Mrs. Bryant Nc
Nally of Benton, was thrown from a carriage
in Clinton village, and fractured the smaller
bone in her leg, beside receiving other
injuries. She was taken to her home Thurs
day morning.

TILE nEMOCR4TLC REcORD.

The party of the Solid South has now made
I'D its record. That prominent Democrat was
right who said that his party could gain moth
ing by prolohging the extra session, and
might as well adjourn at once. Nothing that
the Democrats in Congress can now do will
materially change the situation. Whether
they pass once more, in some new form, the
Objectionable features of the Army bill and
the Legislative bill, or publish a partisan
report" on the subject and abandon the
attack, will make no serious difference. The
party is fully committed, both to these
measures and to the attempt to cOerce the
President into an assent TO them, by coupling
them with appropriations necessary for the
support of the Government Whether some
members of the majority back down, or all
of them, or none of them. the fact will stand
that the party has tried to bully the Presi-
dent and the country, has forced an extra
session by its refusal to appropriate means
for the maintenance of the Government, has
repeated in the extra session its attempt to
coerce the Executive, and has pushed its
threats aud its revolutionary conduct just as
far as it dared. If it backs down now, no
matter how, the country will understand that
the Democratic party has been defeated in an
attempt to establish the rule that bare
majority of the House has the right to starve
the Government to death, unless all other
branches of the Government submit to Its die
tatiOn.
Under these circumstances, perhaps the
party, as a whole, has no better course than
to break up at once. If portion of its men,
bers bolt, refuse to obey the orders of the
caucus, and unite with the Republicans III
passing appropriation bills, ii will still be in
the power of the majority TO insist that its
threats were not mere idle talk, but ex-
pressions of a fixed conviction. A majority
of the people may hate such party, but
could not then entirely despise it. The peO-
pie would, we believe, refuse to trust it with
power, and would hold it responsible for the
reckless and revolutionary acts of the ma
iorty of it's members But some of the mem
beers Of the boiling minority might avoid cOndcm-
nation, and the party. as whole. escape the
contempt which the behavior of a cowardly
braggaTt provokes 1t is possible to have
some sort of respect for a man who stands
unfinchingly to false ideas and wrong mo-
tives even if they lead him into armed re-
belllon. But If South Carolina had backed
down after planting its batteries before Fort
Sumter, it would have excited just the feeling
which a breakdown by the Democratic party
will now excite.
The appropriation bills can be defeated only
by filibustering. Some of the Democrats, ac-
cording to all accounts. are disposed to vote
the money necessary for the support Of the
Government, and to adjourn without delay

PENTFCOST.

Our clergymen need not be in any doubt of
a subject tomorrow. 1t has been the day on
which for eighteen centuries many Christians
have celebrated the anniversary of one of the
most incredible events told us in the Bible
and oven those church going people who do
not keep these Christian fasts and feasts
would do well TO look into the matter little.
We, practical NEWCOMERS, are asked to
believe that once, centuries ago. on q Spring
day, body of ordinary men just such as we
meet in our daily business-tax- gatherers,
fishermen and innkcepers-Deng assembled in
an upper rCOm the little house was suddenly
shaken as by a mighty rushing wind, and
these men, who until then had been uncul-
tured and commonplace, with no genius or
special gift Of mind or body. were instantly
filed with the Divine Spirit and became to a
degree as gods, inspired to speak the highest
truths to every man in his native tongue.
Now the question which comes into every
mans mind when he hears this story is, Why
is not this thing done nowY The world surely
needs the truth Just as much as then.
There is as much drunkenness, and fraud, and
unchastity in New-YOrk this morning as in
Jerusalem Under Plate. The men and women
in Broadway are no whit different in nature
from those who crowded mp to the great ORR
entail mart Their God was really our God.
Why does not the rushing wind come to us,
and the tongues of fire
Our clergymen could make good use of to-
morrow in considering this question. We sug-
gest this in all eamestness, and it is entirely
within our province to suggest It, secular
newspaper is not the index to the popular
mind it is simply mass Of facts-a record
of the stock market, Of the hunting down of
the Nihilsts, of police reports and party policy.
But under all these flow the great currents of
right and wrong, upl to civilization or down
to brutality-that Is the meaning of it
all. Every small item Of daily news hints at
the progress of man OF Nation toward God

But when asked to explain the absence OF "a

giving any satisfactory answer.
And all this grew out OF the ambition OF

DISPOSED to make all the mischief possible,

required by existing laws for Its support
and they will find that ii can-was 1t worth
while TO force an extra session ana peglh
game of coercion in which they were sure TO
be defeated!
One other artifce is suggested, namely, the
passage Of appropriation bills with conditions
that no part of the money shall be expended
for certain purposes. A little reflection must
satisfy the Democrats that this will only
render them moro contemplate than they
have become already. Every man IL the couh-
try will see that this artfce is intended TO
repeal by trick statutes which the Democrats
have not the power to repeal DJ law.
The President would be certain to tel
Congress, in curt and singing words
that it is not more able TO cheat hlln
out of his veto power than To Duiy
him out of it. Bills embracing such conditions
wou.d be sent back, without doubt, ana Con-
gress would be reminded That it had not vet
been able to repeal the statutes which the con-
d,tions would Indirectly destroy. The country
would despise the trckery, and uphold the
President in demanding that all laws, so long
rs they remain uurepealed by constitutional
methods, shall be Obeyed by Congressman as
well as by others. This is IA case IN when
small lodges will not serve. manly adhe-
renee to the revolutionary policy OF coercion
would be more respectable and respected than
resort TO such articles.
The Democrats have openly undertaken to
force the Executive to consent TO bbe repeai
of certain laws He will not consent, ana
gives good reasons. There is no way OF
evading the issue now. The country has VIII
messed the attempt, ana heard the threats,
and seen the cOerclve bills which were framed
by Democratic caucus, passed by the votes
of all the Democrats in both houses. 1t re-
mains for the Democrats either to back down,
and accept all the disgrace which that course
Will bring upon them, or to 20 to pieces, give
up the attempt to do anything as a party, ana
put an end to the power Of caucus dictation
over Democratic votes. Ii is not cheering
alternative. But the Democrats have them
selves to thank for it,
