His condemnation of the demo-
cratic party is peculiarly appro-
pirate, when he says:
Heretofore, democracy has been

From these extracts from an ar
ticle literally unanswerable, it will
be seen in what a healthful frame
Of mind Capt. Washington really is
They show that he stands exactly
in the same position that the repub
lican party does. He evinces thu

The New York Times scheme for
assisting Gen. Grant has been the
cause of much discussion as to the
provision that should be made for
our ex~presidents and many sugges-
tons thereto. The Charleston
News and Courier VERY bourbon)
takes the following view Of it, one
that we are inclined to favor:
It may sometimes cost the people as
much as sec, 900 a year, but this is a
bsgatelle in comparison with what
will be gained in avoiding the occasion
of scandal and in declaring the wish
of the people that he who has been
president shall, for the rest OF his life,
be relieved from the necessity OF en-
tering the political arena, or engaging
in trade or commerce. The present
cor gress is democratic, and, while the
presideL tial pension bill should net be
treated as party measure, we should
expect it to receive the support Of the
senators and congressman from the
south.
This is in regard to pensioning
all ex-presidents, the amount to be
oao-half of the presidential salary,
The man who has served his term
as president Of the United States,
upon his retirement finds himself in
very peculiar position. The ordi'
nary avocations of life are closed tc
him, and the popular idea looks
upon him as different from other
American citizens. He is COMPEL,
ed by this public opinion to hedge
himself around with certain restric'
tons and to keep up an establish
ment which, often times, is beyond
his purse. How much wrong there
is in this view is not the question
Certain it is that it is quite a re'
verse Of our forefather's primitive
ways of thinking on the subject
With them an ex-president wal
theoretically citizen and nothing
more. Now he is a semi-oficia
parsonage, with an influence decid
eddy strong. For these reasons W
are inclined to commend our esteem
contemporaries suggestions of pro
viding for them by coDgressiona
action. 1t is extremely probabl
that the question will be brough
before the next congress.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. "a, 1880.
CAPT. wASHINGTON'5 VIEWS

As We supposed, the cemmunica4
ton published in the city papers
has caused much comment, part of
it favorable, part Of it decidedly
unfavorable. It is quite noticeable,
however, that the latter is confined
to class of men whose opinions
are not much sought after except
by a very small and uninfuential
part of the community. The CON-
munication is vigorous attack on
bourbonism and some very hard
and unpalatable truths are told of
the alleged democratic party. They
come with especial force from Capt.
Washington, inasmuch as he has
been prominent in the councils of
that party and was the chairman of
their last Tennessee convention.
They are only what the republicans
have been charging ever since the
war, but in this case they can not
be attributed to partisan causes.
Some of the sentences in the card
are gems in their way and altos
gether deserving of extended
notice. For instance
"One taiDg, however, is certain. If
democracy Ia DESTROYS Of future, it
must turn over q new leaf. 1t must
unload the dreary and improbable
traditions of dead eras, and take
aboard few IDEAS. What the devil
do We care about the past?"
This is good advice and should be
taken.
Again:
THE world moves-ideas move !!
there are thirty-eight states in the
union. and will be fifty perhaps. For
all national purposes, under the con-
stitutiop, this is p Nation, and with q

An0tneT truth :
"We have just witnessed campaign
in which no democratic orator as,
signed q solitary substantial reason
why there should be change Just at

hold a once grest party crawling over

self-government as we are, the issue

as well. They are business from head

They haven't got time to hate any
body. So let's drop the sounding

TIRE CONGRESSIONAL APPOR,
TIONMENT.

In recent interview Gen. Walk
err, superintendent of the census,
said that he knew no reasen why
the congressional apportionment
under the new census should not be
made at the next session of congress.
The official figures will be laid be-
fore it within week after it meets.
When this subject does come be-
fore congress a fierce fight will be
made on all its points. If the basis
Of representation should be left as
it is the lower house will have 1868
members. The New England states
will lose four representatives, the
middle states six the southern
will gain three and the
western, seven. If the basis is en-
larged then each of the New
England states will lose one, several
of the middle, and some Of the
southern, among them being Ten
nessee. Anyway it is approached
the matter furnishes material for
much discussion and diversity Of
views and interests and the debates
will fill volumes.
