WASHINGTON. d. c., April 5th, 1880.

Correspondence OF The True Northerner.
1t is evident We have got the Democratic
party too much demorahzed to do much mis-
chef this session. The elections last fall pre-
pared the way for mild temper on their part,
and the few little speeches and the determined
action OF the Republicans this year, have com
blned to condrm it. OF course the fire eaters
are not satisfied with any conservatism, but
il IS clear that the Presidential aspirants in the
Bourbon party, and they are many, will en-
courage and enforce conservative action so far
as possible. But after all the threats that were
made 10 unsaat certain Republican members to
give place 10 Democrats, the actions OF the
election committee was remarkable in voting
chat neither Washburne nor Donnelly were
entitled TO a seat from Minnesota. Like 4 true
Democrat, Donneliy at once kicked the Demo-
Gratis who stood for the simplest measure OF
justice, and he charges Springer OF Illinois,
with corrupt motives in voting that he (Eon-
nelly) is not entitled to the seat. Tie Demo
Gratis who want 10 steal seats are growing less
every day, and Donnelly will find Ohio out
when he comes to the polls for new election.
At any rate when We can have the Democrats
quarreling among themselves, and accusing
each other OF corruption, we may feel pretty
safe as to the result OF the next campaign.
Congress is still making very slow progress.
The appropriation bills are not 80 far advanced
toward enactment as they have often been in
January. Only the pension appropriation bill
has become law. The West Point Academy
bill is before a conference committee, and the
Fertilization bill will soon be in the same con-
di.ion. The House has passed the Consular
and Diplomatic appropriation bill, and has yet
to act Naval, the Postal, the Legislature and
Executive, ;hs General deficiency, the River
and Harbor. and the Omnibus bills. Each one
OF these will require time for consideration in
the House. and Will than have to be acted on
in the Senate, so that It is almost impossible
TO terminate the session before July. The
next week CT two will be very interesting to
politicians as many of the States hold primary
elections for their Republican State Conven-
tons to prepare FOR the National Convention
at Chicago, End several State Conventions will
occur. Connection. is the first, and its delega-
ton will be divided between Blaine and Ed
munds, probably. On the 14th, Iowa, Ken
lucky and Missouri will also have Conventions,
the first viii lie for Blaine, the second for
Grant, and the other divided, Massachusetts,
will also be divided in its choics.

The following SPECIAL dispatch from Shelby
vile, Indiana, appeared in the Chicago Tribune,
Ap-il 9th. and tells its own story:
SHELBYvILLE. Ind, April 5.-The Democracy
of this county to-day inaugurated the true
Yazoo principles and mode OF operation. A
negro citizen presented himself to vote, his
vote was challenged By Democrat, lie sw ear
ing that no damned niger should cast a VOTE
At this a qualified Republican made out the
proper affidavit taking the man to have him
swear to It. When lie presented himself he
was set upon by gang OF Democratic hood
lums, who ran him off the square, threatening
to xii! him il be attempted 10 vote, at the same
time using clubs on white man who took the
negros part.
After the wounded man was cared for and
the excitement somewhat abated another
negro, who has lived in the State all his life
went up to vote, the same action being taken
as before. The Democratic mob, he AIDED by
Lee Amsden, County Treasurer, swearing tha.
not another niger should vote, commenced
beating the negro and dragging him out into
the middle OF the street. where be was almost
killed. While Amsden was urging on his
roughs he was hit over the head with a club

the outrages Just committed, whereupon Spragg
jumped on him, holding him with one hand
while be beat him with the knucks. Later in
the evening a young Republican was met on
the street aud ordered off, his assailsnts swear
ing that they would shoot him II he failed to
do as lie was told. About midnight another
man was met by four of these low down rascals,
each armed with club, intent on killing him.
Fortunately, an unlookedfor friend appeared,
preventing murder.
To-day Lee Amsden is confined 10 his bed
from the effects OF the blow received yesterday.
For once in his life lie has IN a small degree
received his just deserts, the only pity being
that the work was not more effective. Amsden

WASHINGTON. d. c., April II, 1880.

WASHINGTON, ~. u, ApEAi IL, looO
The Democrats who were so warlike last year
are holding IN their prancng steeds, having
made up their minds that they never open their
mouths without furnishing fresh political capt.
ta for the Republicans. How long this will
last nobody can tell. When they found they
could not choke off debate on the troops 1.-THE
polls clause OF the army bill. they sat right
back and SAID Talk al! you want to; we will
no. reply" But the severe words OF the Re-
publican leaders have burned them almost be-
yond endurance. and / should not wonder If
they open their mouths to blunder again shortly.
The best evidence that the Democrats are
frightened is the hesitation in unseating Sena-
tor Kellogg OF Louisiana. For many days the
Democratic Senators have been caucusing on
his case and the Elections committee have
earnestly urged action. But there is no action,
and now it!leaks out that several Democratic
Senator's have SAID that they would not vote to
steal that seat and hence the fire-eaters dare
not move for fear of ignominious defeat. Their
seat stealing career in the Senate and House
both therefore appears to be suspended, if not
ended Tie approaching campaign has whole
some effect ou them.
take occasion here 10 contradict report
circulated by the supporters OF Grant and Sher-
man that the National Blaine Club OF this city
is circulating documents attacking rival candi
dates. Though The accusations have been made,
not single document has been brought for
ward to prove them This club is not carrying
on a campaign Of SANDER or personal detraction
against any one. 1t simply advocates the nom
ination Of Mr.. Blsine. 1t was organized with
out consultation with the Maine Senator, and
in bis absence from the city: and even il the
club had sent out documents as is charged
Senator Blaine could not be made to suffcr-he

Mr. Bartlett the Secretary. says that the oper-
atoms Of this club in the canvass will DO such,
that no matter who wins, there will be no hard
feeling among the supporters of defeated can
didates. I repeat the Blaine club has never
sent out document attacking any rival candi-
date.
