THREE days more aud the Democrats will
begin to realize the full scope of their am
btiOn as regards the legislative branch of
the Government. BY fraud, by corruption,
by violence, and by downright assassination
they have wrested Congress from the lcgiti-
mate control Of the Republican party. Can
it be expected that a majority born of such
heinous crimes can be productive of any
thing but disaster to the Republic?

THE blunders due to clerical iucfliciency
in Congress during the past four years have
all been chargeable to the inexperienced
workers brought into place when the Demo-
Gratis obtained control in the House. In the
period mentioned, and for years before that,
the administration of affairs in the Senate,
under Secretaries GoRHANT and FoRSEY,
has been free from any difficulty of this
kind. Now, however, it is proposed, " in
three minutes ~ Senator BECK puts it,
to turn the clerical work of this great branch
of the Government over to green hands.

SOUTHERN Democratic observance of the
forms of law and obedience to governmental
system was plainly illustrated in the pro-
ceedings attendant upon the adjournment
of the Arkansas Legislature last Wednesday
The lower branch of that body got ready to
adjourn several hours before the Senate did,
and proceeded to do 50 regardless of official
courtesy to the Governor or the require
ments of the State constitution regarding
concurrent action by the Senate. This is
the way the Bourbons obey law under

SENATOR BAYARD stoops to special plead
ing, if not to downright preyarication, when
he claims that the removal of Federal SUI
pcrvisors from the polls at national elections
would not interfere with the punishment of
fraud thcreat. He knows, rs every intelli-
gent man does, that the presence of these
officials at the polls is required to procure
testimony of fraud without which it could
not be punished. Any argument to the
contrary of this proposition must be ranked
as an attempt 10 protect and encourage
fraud and corruption by relieving it from
the possibility of detection.

THERE was an evident dramatic design
on the part of FIrZ.JoHN PoRrER's counsel
in Withholding until the last moment n
certain bit of evidence, said to be in his IA

the country and the court just as the case
was being brought to close. But it re-
mains to be seen how far this adro:t man
agement will effect the calm and cold de-
mands of justice in this important matter.

SENATOR VEST, of Missouri, has arrived
and is described as n man of fine presence
The description closes with the assertion
that he looks like a smaller edition of
MATT CARPENTER" Comparisons are
" "orderous," os Mrs. PARTINGToN said; and
this one, while apparently truthful appears
TO be pertinently impertinent If that VEST
ever gets up in the Senate to be pulled
down by MATTHEW, he will certainly look
like much smaller edition.

THE virescent gleam of Mr.. McMAHoN's
financial record attracts the attention Of
the average Grcenbacll Congressman. But
it depends altogether how much Green
hacker and how much Democrat there is in
his composition whether the attraction will
amount to lasting cohesion. Mr.. MONA
HONS chances for the Speakership are
therefore about Oh par with those of Mr..
KELLEY's, whose verdantique outer cuticle
is popularity supposed to inclose the sub
cutaneous membranes of n Black Republic
can. In other words, MCMAHON, as Dem.
ocrat, is to the Greenbackers exactly what
KELLEY, as n Republican, is to the Ma

Four years of Democratic rule in the

Congress established our present non-repre-

Mr.. CLINT. WnEELER's patriotic offer to
veto the repeal of the supervisors law if
President HAYES does not do it has not yet
been formally submitted at the Executive
Mansion. When it is, it will be duly con-
sidercd, no doubt but it appears that his
services in that especial regard will not be
required by the Administration. All the
President requires of Mr.. WHEELER now is
to impart some of his superabundant Stall
wart backbone to the party at large. The
supply of vertebra at the "White House" is
sufficient for all immediate use.

SENATOR BECK proposes TO "get rid of
"the rule " in the Senate which provides
for the retention of experienced subordin-
ate Offices Sin about three minutes" The
rule in question was the joint production of
Senators MASON, CAss, CLAYTON, BAYARD,
and PEARcE, away back in 1854, when the
Democratic majority in the Senate was inn
bued with some higher notions Of states
manship than piddling division Of the
spoils of Office, and before the patriotic
sentiment Of that party had been demoral-
lied by contamination with the logical
results of State Rights, 1t is very natural,
however, under all the circumstances, that
the Bourbons Of to-day should repeal the
wise provisions matured by the most emf
nent statesmen of the country quarter oil
century ago in three minutes"

who has now passed his eightieth birthday,
seems determined to fight the matter out in
the courts to the bitter cnd-a determine
tion from which many younger man

in high glee. The vain imaginings of n

them. They delight in scandal no matter
what it's origin.
A RUMoR is afloat that Clerk adams, in
tent upon earning his reelection, has de-
cided to throw out the "Octobcr delegation
from Iowa. 1t is known that he has been
notified by J. c. HOLMES, of the eighth dis
trict, and JOHN WILSON of the ninth dis
trict, Democrats, that they will file papers
claiming, by virtue of their election in No
vember, TO be entitled to the seats to which
w. +. SAPP and CYRUS G.. CARPENTER, Re-
publicans, were elected in October in that
State. This fact is possibly the only foun-
dation for the rumor in question; but the
matter is worth looking after. Mr.. ADAMS
is q partisan of the most devoted, if not
uuscrupulous, kind; one who would be apt
to give his own party friends the benefit oil
a doubt in the event of such an emergency
as the one now existing. The non-recogni-
ton OF this October delegation would ensure
Democratic success in the organization OF
the House with less attriton and more in
dependence of the Nationals than is prom
| ised from the pending situation.
