While the Republicans are prcmaturely
active in preparing for the Presidential
campaign, the Democrats seem TO have
no policy or purpose. They see and feel
the mistake Of the extra session, but they
shrink from any positive action to cor
rect that mistake, evidently hoping that
by doing nothing--ceaSing from Dlunder-
ing-thcy will lull TO sleep the apprehen-
untenable ground they took last Spring.
That will noC do. The Democrats must
do something TO regain public confidence,
which they have forfeited. They must
develop some policy besides that oI oppo-
sition and desire to enjoy the SpOilS.
One Of the best things they could do
would be To promptly pass a fair and
equitable measure for countiog the cleo
toral votes. They ought, also, to pro-
vide for the perfect security of the ballot
under men of both parties. These meas

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune

been most anxious for an end Of sectional strife.
But 1t saw two years ago. and was the first persist

from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
TaTnmany Hall. Against that danger 1t sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment Of personal
diskes, and set the example. 1t called for an end
to attacks upon each other instead OF the enemy :;
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster hae
been turned back every doubtful state has been

TEXAS POLITICS.

The Williamson County Sun says:
$50 far as the men are concerned, we
like Sayers as we'll as we do Roberts
but when we consider the surroundings
we are bound to acknowledge that
Roberts is the most suitable man to be
elected governor next fall. We shall
therefore do all we can to elect him.
The Post, in a rambling editorial
upon the work of the Galveston con-
vention, concludes that it Is all nom
sense for the Democracy of Texas to
take any interest in a presidential nom-
inatlon. 1t says the country Is against
Democracy, which means that the
Post is opposed to it. The Telegram
believes to the contrary.
The San Saba Nesos says: 'In the
gubernatorial race, Governor Roberts
will be the choice Of large majority
of the people in this county. But
should Lieutenant Governor Seyers be
the nominee of the Democratic party,
he will probably be voted for by ninc-
tenths OF the people. Several of the
leading papers in the state are bitterly
opposed to Roberts, but we believe
that the people are satisfied with
his administration, and will elect him
for the second term"
The following paragraph is given
simply as an index to the general
character of the telegram: San over
zealous paper hurrahs for Governor
Roberts and quarantine The idea Of
comparing the two is admirable. Both
are OF q decidedly repressIve nature,
and the cause which establish either

is nonsensical for the Texas Democracy
to take an interest in the approaching
presidential election. We congratu-
late the STATESMAN on its independ-
ence. Let il now come out, and lnsid-
iously promulgate Radical doctrines
under the independent guise, and its
assimilation will be perfect" !"
In giving this extract it Is simply
the purpose OF the STATESMAN TO refute
6 falsehood by the record. The ground
for this charge. which comes from

THE MIssIssIPPI JRTTIES.

Evidently a strong conviction pre-
walls in the minds of those who under
stand the ropes about Washington,
that in the Eads jetty scheme there
has been huge job. Senator Burn
side put it mildly when he said he was
satisfied that large portion Of the
money consumed ostensibly for work
on the jettles had been applied to work
not yet done. Engineers of the high
est character are bold in asserting that
this jetty system, as applied to the
mouth of the Mississippi, is gigantic
fraud that instead of permanently inn
proving the channel, what has been
done will eventually work to its injury,
and it is claimed by some that this in
jury has already been accomplished.
1t is intimated by some that Bibcock
system Of measurements has been
palmed off upon the government,
which of course would involve its re-
ceiving agents; but this.i bare rumor,
and may arise from spirit of jealousy
that is always applied to such affairs.
The Washington Sentinel, among other
papers, has no faith in Mr.. Eads'
associates. 1t asserts that Mr..
Eads has surrounded himself by 8
ring OF sctive and unscrupuious per-
sons; that money has been spent with
lavish hand and found It's way into
the pockets of the cormoranIs OF the
lobby: that expensive entertainments
have been given by Mr.. Esds and en-
joyed by senators, members Of the
House and high officials at the Capitol.
The same paper admits that there are
congressmen who think there is moth
ing wrong in mixing promlscuously at
the banquet table with lobbyists and
schemers. with jobs before Congress,
who need their votes, but 1t says they
are generally OF the impecunious type.
Mr.. Eads and his associates have at
least had . gOodsthing Of II, proba-
bly,, in two ways-in drawing money

their expenses, and in giving enconr-

Do WE LOVE OUR ENEMIES MORE
THAN OUR FRIENDS.

Why any Southern Democrat would
oppose Mr.. BsYard Is hard 10 under
stand, but one of the most dangerous
features of the Democratic party is an
ever-prevailing disposition to attack its
leading members. The New York
Sun, which is owned and controlled
by Republicans, supports Mr.. Tilden,
and 1t was the first paper that
made an onslaught upon Mr.. Bsyard
because of his Dover speech in 1861.
Strange to say the bringing 10 light
of these expressions of the Delaware
senator made no unfaYorable impress
sion on either the Democratic or the
independent press OF the North, and
it remained for certain journals and
politicians of the South to pass judg-
ment upon him because he would have
averted 9 terrible frstricidal war by
adopting the policy of not coercing
the South. Had Mr.. Bayard's
opinions, these of young man just
then entering political life, prevailed,
all breaches between the two sections
would long since have been repaired,
and the South and, the North, by force
of circumstances, would now be united
in brotherhood stronger in ties than
this which was enforced by arms, and
it was stated by such sterling papers as
the Springfield Republican and the Bos-
ton Herald, that there was nothing in
the utterances of Mr.. Bsyard in 1861,
which could injure him among North
ern people. A Northern exchange,
how before us, says:
1t was strangely enough that in the
South, among the very people on whose
account Mr.. Bayard was assailed, that
ready credence was given to the pre-
tence that malicious assault had been
fatal to him, and it is Southern news
papers, alone, which have continued
the talk about the wonderful revelation
made by Mr. Tilden's personal organ in
New York concerning the rival he
most feared, revelation, by the way,
which Mr.. Baysrd would have cheer
fully made himself had any one asked
it, sipce there is nothing in his career
as public man which the entire coun-
try is not welcome to know.
1t is strange indeed that any one in
the South should present an opposi-
ton to one whose only offense in stall
wart eyes is that he battled for the re-
lease of the Southern States and peo-
pie from the loathsome oppression Of
carpet-pag rule. A correspondent of
the Boston Herald, writing of the
quick desertion of Bayard by certain
Louisiana politicians, spoke OF it as an
exhibition OF base .ingratude, and we
ask: Do Southern people propose to
assume the role of sacrificing friends
because the enemies of the South at
tack them2
