DIoGENEs AND HIS LANTERN.

Senator DAVIS, of West Virginia, who
has been waltzing through several sessions
of Congress upon the point of imaginary
deficiencies in the Treasury Department, has
struck new lead by way of diversion. He
has offered u resolution in the Senate call
ing on the Secretary of the Treasury for u
detailed statement of the amounts expended
for the last fourteen years under the head
of permanent annual appropriations,
The Senator regards this resolution as the
train to a mine, which, when exploded, will
astonish the world. He contends substan-
tally that he will expose the dire fact that
appropriations far exceed the expenditures
under them, and that the unexpended bal
ances are not honestly covered into the
Treasury according to law, and that the
heads of the Departments are held to no
responsibility for these balances, and hence
they must be plundered in the Departments.
He contends that lie has made these won
derrul discoveries while searching through
the recesses of the Treasury Department in
pursuit of conjectured DEFICIENCIES In other
words, failing TO discover what he was
after, he now hatters himself that he
has discovered something else. In view OF
this last discovery he proposes when the
regular appropriation bills come up fol
consideration to move an additional section
to one Of them repeating all the permanent
annual appropriations except that provid
ing for the payment Of the interest on tn,
public debt. Congress can then make reg
ular annual appropriations, ~ may be ne
cessary to meet the expenditures now EN-
braced under the head of permanent Rp
propriations," The trouble with Senator

DURING the late contest in Louisiana
General WooDFoRD, of New York, demon
strated to the country that Northern
statesman and orator can 20 into that sec
tion and speak the words Of truth and
soberness, and criticise with much force and
plainuess the policies and methods of the
Democrats and bring his life back with him.
He Haunted the bloody shirt in the face of
the Rife Rangers and ballot-box suffers
with a vigorous hand and drove the simple
truth Of history into their very teeth, and
they stood it like little men. This shows
what nerve and pluck, clothed in marked
ability, can do for the right, where there
isn't too much daren't about it. Louisiana
is quite noted for killing colored men and
poor white trash" when they have the
law in their own hands, but when brave,
honest and able man goes among them from
the North to preach the gospel of constitu-
tionnl right and the sanctity of citizenship
everywhere within our borders and under
the old flag, he can do so withimpunity. II
our Northern Republican statesmen and
orators did but know IL, the late Conieder-
at States present n most attractive field ior
Republican missionary work. The heather
are hungering and thirs,ing for the sincere
milk of Republican principles. They are
tired of Bourbonism

DAVIS now is that the discovery has been
made, az he thinks, that the starving-out
policy of the extra session, when applied to
the supervisors of election, was failure,
inasmuch as there were funds found with
which to pay them, Notwithstanding the
action of Congress to prevent it. 1t is to
be hoped that the Senator will do nothing
under this resolution, should it pass, that
will increase the volume of public ridicule
that he has already contracted under his
former Utopian performance.

families arrived, with twelve Workingmen out
Of eighty persons. The bedding aud clothing

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The joint CAUCUS
committee had q prOtrActed consultation to-
day. the session lasting from ii o'clock In the
forenoon until nearly o'clock In the after
noon. They went over the whole situation
exhaustively, and decided to pursue, to the
end, ths programme erlaipally marked out.
Some uneasiness is felt on account Of the pos
sible detection OF certain Democrats In the
House, as noted In these dispatches night be-
fore last; but members Of the caucus COM
mittee express confidence that when it
comes to voting, every Democrat
will be found In line. It has been decided to
put the repeal OF the test oath In separate
bill, SO that Hayes will have no excuse for ve-
toing 1t. An effort will be made to pass all
the separate repeating clauses without de-
bate, in order to clear the boards at once for
the silver bill, which will be pushed In the
Senate next week with all possible vigor. No
other legislation will be attempted, and 1t is
thought the final matter Of joint resolutions
to continue the current appropriations until
December can be reached by week from
Monday. The only question OF policy not
definitely settled In the caucus committee to-
day was that OF adjournment, but the bulk Of
opinion among members and Senators seems
to concentrate on June II as the date likely to
be selected. A. @. B.
