WASHINGTON, MARCH 28, 1879.
PRESIDENT HAYES amiable obstinacyn
seems to be too stern to be placated by
Bourbon intrigue.
TuLDEN's b0rl of money has reached Har-
risburg, and the Democratic members of
the Pennsylvania Legislature are loudly
proclaiming for him in 1880.
OUR couchant aboriginal bovine, some-
times known as the Hon. S. BULL, is about
to become rampant, For Sitting Bull he
exhibits some astonishing evidence of pere-
grinating activity.
MORE than a week has passed since Con-
gress met under the promising auspices of
complete Democratic restoration. The only
result accomplished has been peculiarly
characteristic of the Democracy. The Off
Ces have all been given to the Bourbon
spol-hunters.
IF the Republicans desire 10 assume the
responsibilities of the extra session they
have only to compromise the questions of
disagreement in the late session now, and
thus virtually admit that there was no me-
cessity for it, as it was as easy, no doubt, to
compromise then as now, if such policy is
wise and just. BE firm, consistent and
true, and trust consequences to themselves.
This is no time for compromises with wrong.
JEFF DAVIS name was "chiseled out " of
the inscription on Cabin John Bridge,
Government structure up the Potomac, he
cause it was believed that the name of the
arch traitor should not be permitted to dis
grace the face of great public work. Now
the Bourhons propose not only to replace
his name on the roll of the Senate, but also
to place it on the nations roll of honor
the pension list.
The revoutOnists had not completed
their caucus tiEkering yesterday morning.
The House was accordingly compelled to
adjourn. And this is called legislation.
The interests of great Government and of
great people are being submitted to the
dictates of star Chamber procedure. Calm
deliberation and earnest patriotic consider
alton of the public benefit are ignored.
Partisanship rules the hour, and everything
is sacrificed to the advancement of Bour-
bonism.
GENERAL GRANTS apt comparison of the
Bourbons to the hogs and pail of milk is
now receiving pertinent Interpretation
In getting control of both Houses of Con.
gress the Democrats became possessed OF
the pail he talked OF, and at least score OF
them have already succeeded in getting
their feet into it, 1t remains to be seen
how much farther the facts will bear out
this rather homeIy illustration, and how
long it will be before the Bourbons will tip
the bucket over and spill its contents.
JUDGE RGvES' sO-called Interference
with the rights of the Great Commonwealth
of Yirginyaw, Sab, is to be overhauled by oul
Confederate House as soon as convenient
A thorough and impartial investigation o.
this matter will not rebound boisterously tC
the credit of the judiciary of the State in
question. The beginning of Judge RrvEs
interference was based upon palpable
violation of national law by the Judges o.
the State courts, in which innocent, if no,
inoffensive, citizens had been made to suffel
The most iniquitous persecution.
THE Mission Mirror lSan Francisco, fe,

motto:
FO, President in 1880,
ULYSSES GRANT, OF ILLINOIS.
We object to this, first, on the ground
that it is not calculated to placate thing.
and concliate anyone who may think he
needs Cancellation; and second and mainly
because General GRANT does not belong to
the State of Illinois. He is a citizen of this
entire country, and several other countries
besides. He belongs to the universal fam.
