JOHN KELLEY has been defeated
for reelection as Comptroller of New
York City, and good many people
think this insures the complete
downfall of the great Tammany
chief. They are likely to be mistak-
en-. Mr.. Kelley is made of sterner
stuff. He is not the kind of man
to be put down and kept there. He
still has all his pluck and determine
ton, and a large following at his
back. Tammany sticks to him, and
Tammany triumphant or defeated, is
great power. His defeat, accom-
plished by the means which brought
it about, is not, however, calculated
to insure harmony in the Democratic
party of New York. On the con-
trary it will widen the breach. Kel-
ley and his friends will make it a
point, in the future, to get even with
the men who accomplished his de-
feat. 1t would have been much bet
ter for the future of the Democratic
party to have conciliated Mr.. Kelley
and his friends than to have engin-
eered for his downfall. There can
be nothing urged against either his
ability or his integrity as man or
public officer. 1t is entirely a per-
sonal fight, and man of his pluck
and determination is not likely to
get the worst in the end in fight of
that kind. The American people
like pluck, and John Kelley will
have plenty of sympathizers and
followers.

Congress this Week.

III lIlC oSIldt0 MOuudy Hu III
Der of bills and resolutions were
offered, among them being one by
Senator Whyte, of Maryland, for
the improvement of st. Inigoes
river, in st. Mary's county. A
bill was also introduced looking to
the appointment of officers in the
Signal Service from the navy as
we'll as the army. The bill for the
relief of Fitz-John Porter was ia
ken up, and a debate ensued,
which lasted until the hour of adj
journment. In the House Gen.
Garfield's successor took his seat
after some opposition by Mr..
Hurd Dem of Ohio. Eighty
seven bills and resolutions were
introduced. the most important
being a resolution demanding in
formation concerning the amount
of money paid to Gen. Grant since
he entered West Point, and an
other to make education necessa-
nv qualification for tho exercise of
the franchise. Je#
In the Senate Tuesday bill was
introduced to revive the Alabama
Claims Commission, and another
bill to prevent the spread of cattle
diseases. Mr.. Salisbury, of Della
Delaware, raked up the contest
over Senator Kellogg's seat, but
no action was taken. The r'itZ
John Porter case was concluded, a
substitute for the original bill be-
ing passed, which allows the
President at any time within
eighteen months, to restore Porter
TO the rank of colonel on the retir-
ed list without back pay. The
bill devOting a part Of the pro-
ceeds of the sale Of public lands for
school Purposes was taken up just
before the adjournment. There
was little done in the House be-
yond the shelving of the Electoral
Count resolution, which resulted
from the Republicans refusing to
vote on the previous question and
leaving the House with out a
quorum. The most important bill
introduced was to incorporate the
Maritime Ship Canal of Nicaragua,
with General Grants name at the
head of the list of incorporates.
Mr.. A. w. @. Nov liam was APP
pointed and sworn in as postmas-
ter of the House.
At the hour for prayers in the
Senate Wednesday only ten men,
bers We're present, and some delay
was occasioned in reading the
journal in waiting for a quorum.
After routine business had been
attended 10. consideration of the
bill to apply portion of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of public lands to
public education was resumed,
and speeches were .made in sup
port OF the measure by Senators
Morrill, of Vermont and Brown Of
Georgia. In the House the morn
ing hour was dispensed with, and,
after considerable debate, the For
LITIGATION bill. as reported from
the Appropriations Committee,
was passed. The Com mittee on
Mississippi Levees reported a hill
to appropriate 81 500, 900 to Mis,is-
sippi river Improvements.

AT great Democratic demonstration IN
Evansville Wednesday General Franz seigel
was one of the speakers. One thousand
young men were in the line in the torch
light procession The Courier says;
Along the line the procession met no in
terruption until passing down Sixth street
to Locust, where a bowlder was thrown in
to the ranks, striking Sam James, the
painter. 1t is said that white men were
the authors of this intamy, but the factors
in the outrage could not be asccrtaincd
other than that the black hearted scoundrel
had white face. Turning the corner OF
Sixth and Oak streets, another missile was
thrown into the column this time, however,
by negro, and the act came near break
ing up the ranks. The boys dashed after
hi:a, and had he been caught short shrlit
would have been his.
