THE Southern claims now pending in
Congress will not in all probability be
acted upon this session. but Democratic
paper published in Augusta, Ga, says ;
After the Presidential election the chances
may be improved for all claimants. How
"evcr disagreeable the necessity, we appre-
"hend that they must possess their souls
with patience another year, We COM
mend this to the attention of all Northern
men-be they Democrats or Republicans.
This is only one of the many conspiraeies
now being contemplated by the leaders of
the Democracy. They are, with the most
unblushing effrontery, at present endeavor-
ing to steal the vote of State If the Presi-
Dental election should be thrown into the
House of Representatives. They will enact
the contingent process wherever it can
be done. A Solid South must cast its vote
for the Democratic nominee, no matter who
the man. They are endeavoring to destroy
the purity of the ballot by removing the
safeguards for its protection and an honest
count. They are desperate and every de-
vice in politics, corrupt or otherwise, will
be resorted to by them to achieve success
But the god of battles, who gave us GRANT
for a leader of our armies, will again give
us GRANT to guide the ship of state safely
through all its troubles.

Mr. COBB, of Indiana, made q speech on
the Deficiency bill on Tuesday, which was
mixture of efGrontery and hypocrisy
that only Bourbon could utter. Among
other thingshe said "he defied the Republic
"cans to point out single prohigatc Off
"cer whom the Democrats had kept in
"olfice." 1t is nearly two decades since the
Democracy lost control of the Government,
and Mr.. COBB, who about that time was a
member of the Indiana State Senate, can
certainly rem ember one JOHN b. FLOYD,
who sc peculations were enormous, and yet
who was not dismissed from Office, but
probably would have risen to greater honors
only for the civil war. And then there was
JACOB THOMPSON, Secre tRry of the Interior
during the BUCHANAN regime, whose
$S50000 steal was hut n morsel of corrup-
tion during that delecta BILE Administration.
And his Indian Commissioner, Indian
Agents, etc, all, all were guilty of the
most enormous frauds. But were they
punished? If they were, history fails to
record it. Mr. CUBB's memory is treacher-
Gus. He only has sad emory for his
political enemies not for his friends We
would advise that gentleman to cease his
assaults upon the Republican party and
not accuse it Of prohigacy, when the his
tory of his own party since it's foundation
breathes nothing but corruption, dishonesty
and antagonism to the purity Of our repub

GEORGE DAWSON, esq, the present youth
ful and volatile editor of the Albany
Ereaing Journal, is being urged to accept
the position of Regent of the University of
the State of New York, but modestly de-
clines for the Difference he has TO age. He
thinks that position belongs to those who
are ripened with years and seasoned by
age and he cannot consent to step in from
his youthful sphere and bear off honors
which belong TO that class. This is very
considerate aud unambitious, and leads to
the wonder how the editor who was in the
prime of life in 1910, when he was cheering
for Tippecanoe and TYLER too, and was en-
tightening the people of Michigan through
the columns of Wing daily journal at
Detroit, and has since been in the editorial
harness at Albany, has preserved his youth

degree. Such selfabnegation is rare and

hood can have failed to discover how bitter
is that hatred which comes of breaking
up of the internal hOrmonies of party rela-
tion. The Republican party has been for
eight years subject to schsms and aliena-
tions that have grown out of disappointed
ambitions and defeated hopes within its
own embrace, until to-day we find these
fires of dissatisfaction and detection bum
ing as hercely as when they were first
lighted in 1872, by class Of Republicans
then known as Liberals, who, having failed
to secure from the National Administration
u full qualification of their hopes, wishes
and ambitions, turned upon the party to
rend it.
