tions, conspire to make them, to all IN
telligent people not under their influence
an element of great danger. To-day the
potent leaders in the Democratic party
are inspired by the same revolutionary
spirit which they exhibited on the eve
of the civil war. In that period which
has interviewed since their defeat on the
field, they have not been changed for the
better. So long as they were in mi
nority they did not exhibit their natu-
raj disposition and inclination. This
had led many well-disposed people to
mistake this moderation for change of
sentiment and for such profting by the
fate of the leaders which organized and
sympathized with the Rebellion as would
enable them to adopt different policy.
The recovery of partial power and the
hope of full control of the Government
have caused these leaders to throw off
their assumed moderation and caused
them to appear in their true characters
which is not whit better than it was
from 1860 to 1865. Now, as then. the
Democratic leaders are hostile to the
peace and the progress of. the country.
We shall not be wise if we forget these
facts.-BostOn Journal.

THE NATIONAL CAPIToL.-A new Ger
man book about America, Ernst Won
Hesse- Wartegg, has this appreciative
passage on the capitol at Washington
"Upon the plateau of low hill rises the
snow-white mass in grandeur of form,
and costliness of material than can
nowhere in the world be matched. A
stately park surrounds the edifce, and
out of its green expanse the iron and
marble limbs of this monumental giant
tower against the blue southern sky.
Whatever may be said about it, the
capitol is simply wonderful. A skill
full architectural critic may tell us a
hundred times that the great structure
does not come out of one mould-that
the dome is faulty, that the building is
too much repressed here and too bold
there-his judgment makes no impress
sion upon US, but our eyes return with
fresh admiration to this blended pomr
of Corinthian columns. these granidose
flights of stairs, and these blooming
architraves and capitals carved in mar.
BILE. The impression of magnifcence
which we first receive never leaves us"

THE MAINE AFFAIR.

The republicans stole march on the
fusionists some days ago, and organized
a legislature composed of the republic
cans elected at the late election. At a
time when the fusion legislators were
out on adjournment, the other party
quietly walked into the House and SEN
ate Chamber and completed the organi-
zation in legal manner. They then
passed resolutions, which will bring the
legal points in question before the SUI
preme Court. The fusionists were taken
completely by surprise. The fusion
President of the Senate acted as COVER
nor for few days. until his party count
ed out another republican and put a
democrat in his seat where they claimed
to have quorum. They then chose
Smith, the greenback candidate COVER
nor, after the manner of choosing gov
ernors in the Maine legislature. The
republicans take no part in the proceed
ings of the rump legislature. and claim
every act illegal. Gen. Chamberlin, an
old veteran, commands the State militia
and has been able, thus far, to prevent
any blood letting. The court was in
session during the latter part of the
week, and it is expected that there will
be a decision as to the legal status Of
the affair very soon. In the meantime
party spirit runs high and there is dan
ger of collision at any time. Gen.
Chamberlin is vigilant and hopes tc
keep peace, until there is some change
in the affairs.

BEEcHER ON IRELAND.-At one of
Parnells Irish reform meetings, held IN
Brooklyn last week, Henry Ward Beech
err, being called out, said that the gran
aries of the west are theirs when starva-
ton comes to the Irish people, but the
journals say that this is to be the end
of our effort. The man who stops at
this point and goes no further is not
worthy of the title of man. II am in
favor of long and earnest agitation in
America for the emancipation of the Irish
people, and there is no more important
question than the land question" He
protested against the land system as
despotism and predicted that unless the
system was revolutiOnized, England
would be revolutionized. He hoped that
Ireland would never be quiet until she
is free. Parnell has issued an appeal
to the people of America soliciting sub
scriptions for the distressed people in
Ireland aud stating that all contrlbu-
tons can be forwarded to Drexex, Nor.
gan & Co. of New York. who will remit
money to the treasurers of the land
league in Ireland.

In the coming promotion of Gen Gar
field from the lower to the higher branch
OF Congress, tho Senate makes a great
gain, and the House sustains a great
loss. For the last four years he has
been the recognized chief of the Repub-

with signal ability and success. 1t is
not at present apparent who can FIJI his
place. In the Senate he will at once
take rank among the foremost. AS he
enters aud Thurman goes out, the Repub-
hcans make very important gain, the

four years, and the amount of capital
greater than in any year since 1875,
except last year. The average amount
per road is. however, considerably smaller
than last year. This would appear, on
the face of it. to be rather bad show
ing. But it must be remembered that
foreclosure is the last stage in bankrupt
icy, and frequently removes disturbing
elements from the business world. The
record of Receivers appointed is much
more encouraging. The number has
gone down from ~ in 1878 to last

has decreased from 6,662 to Csc and
the capital invested fnom $l67, 100000

nothing in these statistics to change the
general conclusion that railroad business,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MoNIToR.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ii, 1870.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is, 1870.
The Republicans are rejoicing to-day
over the election of their Maine brethren
in taking the bull by the horns, and Or
ganizing the Legislature there with a
large majority of those who were elected.
The fact that they went to to the State
House after the fusionists had adjourned,
and quietly set about presenting their
claims to the Supreme Court goes far in
their behalf as a party of peace and law.
All who know the facts in the case. be-
lieve that the Supreme Court will con-
firm their action aud thus let them out
of the very bad position, into which they
were forced by the Democratic thieves.
Just now there is good deal of talk
in political circles here about the next
Governorship of Illinois. For many
weeks letters have been pouring in fav-
ori1g the nomination of Hon. John B.
HaWley, now assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, and it is no secret that he is a
candidate for the honor. In honoring
him the Republicans of Illinois will
honor themselves. He is one of the most
popular officials of the National Govern
ment. He was appointed to the place
by President Hayes, without the asking,
and confirmed unanimously by the Sen
ate, without reference to Committee, a
very unusual event. He had already
served three terms in Congress with
much credit, while people who do bust
ness at the Treasury, and his thousands
of friends in Washington will regret to
lose him, yet they will rejoice to see
him Governor of the great state of Hi
nois.
The Democratic caucus last nigh
agreed upon programme more moderate
than last year. They will pass all the
fqgEfRaRgEdatjRggn s bith s Hhb sf6fIse R TIL
exception of the bill to pay the United
States Marshals. On that they propose
to make fight, and say that they neve
shall be paid for services at the polls
In reality it means also that they shall
not be paid for services in enforcing tn
; revenue laws against the law breaker
in the South.
The Republicans will welcome thi
contest, and are willing to 60 to tn
: country on it.
/ Rebel animosity was noticeable in tn
House recently when Mr.. Coffroth O
> Pennsylvania, introduced bill to pen
: sion the survivors of Mexican, Greek
Seminole and Black Hawk wars. Tn
e introduction of similar bill last winte
was the occasion of the famous debat
: upon pensioning jeff Davis. The bi
would take about 100000 dollar
: from the Treasury and benefit few ez
y cept those who have since been in r.
bellion. 1t also provided for the repe;
|. of the law that no money on account {
u pensions shall be paid to rebels.
e This bill was, of course, opposed b
q the loyal members. Mr.. Coffroth the
: introduced bill to bestow the paymel
'e of pension claims to the loyal soldier
e but the Southern Democrats out of r
IL venge for the failure of their bill
