THE FIDELITY OF HISTORY.

On the 2Gth ult, during n debate on the
executive, &C., appropriation bill, Mr.. Ar
KIYs, of Tennessee, called Mr. SHALLEN-
BERGER, of Pennsylvania, to account for
having stated, in substance, that the Demo-
cratic doctrine on the floor Of the House af-
firms that the United States is and should
be utterly pOwerless under the Constitution
to protect the polls against the high crimes
of Tennessee, by and through which the ma
iority of that State were forbidden by armed
interference at the polls to hold the State
loyal to the flag, alluding to the election of
1861, and declared that there was not word
of truth in the statement. Mr.. SHALLEN-
BERGER inquired if the gentleman desired
the authority upon which he made the
statement. ATKINS said he did not care
who made the statement, he did not believe
it. Mr.. SHALLENBERGER then informed
him that it was the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency. ATKINS responded
" You allude to Mr.. GREELEY, suppose ? "
TO which Mr.. S. responded, 81 do" Mr..
ATKINS said he was not there to impeach
Mr.. GREELEY. 1t might have been used in
a document, and Mr.. GREELEY might OF
might not have been responsible for it, Mr.
SHALLENBERGER then informed the gentle
man that the Louisville Journal of June 13
1861, and others, including ANDREW JOHN
SON, of Tennessee, was his authority. This
was a sumner, and Mr. ATKINS dried up.

Plenty of Work All Over Kansas.


The only proper disposition to be made of the
colorcd refugees of the South is TO scatter them
about throughout the State wherever their labor Is
needed. There is plenty of work all over Kansas
for willing hands, there is employment for all who
are willing to work; butthe refugees cannot be main
tanned, at the expense of public charity in large
bodies, either in this city or elsewhere. The plan
OF coonzng them on the prarles is neither feasible
nor practicable. After supplying their immediate
wants, whatever Is contributed for their benefit
should be used IN bearing their expenses to those
towns and districts, in various parts Of the State,
where they are needed MS laborers and farm hands,
and where they viii receive cheerful and liberal
compensation for their work.

THE proposition to pass joint resolution
extending the operations Of current appro-
priations for six months is as cowardly as it
is evasive of the constitutional duties of
Congress. If adopted it would only and
simply prove that the Bourbons still cling
to their revolutionary idea of coercing the
Executive in the face OF their inability to
legally accomplish the partisan results to
which they seem to be so thoroughly de-
voted. No reasonable man will deny, now
that the Democrats haYe failed in a cOnsti-
tutional effort to obtain the final enactment
of their cherished project, that it is their
further constitutional duty to submit TO the
inevitable and make the best terms they
can with fate Any other method will lead
them into the mire deeper and deeper, for
there can now be no other construction Of
an additional attempt to coerce the Presi.

If the Administration has any especial
and important project of public benefit to
Subserve, now is the time to bring it for
ward. The Democrats want to do some
thing, anything in fact, to detract public at
tention from the present situation. A war
with Mexico, the annexation of Canada, or
even the canonization Of His Satanic Maj
esty would be jumped at by the Bourbon
leaders in Congress as an agency for the di-
version Of the public mind from the con-
temptation of their recent blunders in

their motto just now.

THE simplest, plainest, and most truthful
answer TO the Democratic claim that the
army bill was not intended to interfere with
the free and legal exercise of civil authority
by the United States is that the claim is an
unadulterated, bare-faced lie. In other
words, those who assert this claim have sup
plemented their covert sedition by lying

Special Attention.

We take pleasure in announcing
That we have made arrangements
with the publisher Of the Chicago
Weekly News which enable US to
club that paper with the Iowa
County DEMOCRAT mt the very low
price of Sl.15 per year, n trillc over
the regular price of the DEMOCRAT
alone. This is beyond question the
first time that Il metropolitan week
~ has been brought within the
reach of subscribers mt So small mn
additional price.
For this comparatively small
amount our readers can place them
selves i'll command Of the whole
situation. All events of interest,
local, national and foreign, will be
presented completely and promptly
by enc or the other Of these puhh-
cations, The single feature Of full

quotations will be worth, to many
of our readers, more than the addi-
tional amount involved in the club
bling arrangement. 10 those who
are not familiar with the character
of the Chicago News, we would say
il is the best representative of indie
pendent journalism in the West.
The Weekly News is u large eight
column folio, "cram full" Of tele-
graph and general news, short and
pithy editorials on the topics Of the
day, written in n familiar yet incis-
i've style, and in all its departments
evidently aims to give facts in few
words, without the vcrbiage and
fine writing which render SO many
