DEMOCRATIC KUKLUXISM IN
CONGRESS.

Ihe proposed unseallnS ol MI.
Washburn in the House, and Mr..
Kellogg in the Senate, by the Demo
cratic majority in Congress, is fair
sample of some of the methods used
by them in obtaining control of Re-
publican States in the South. and by
which they expect to secure complete
control of the National Government.
Their purpose is so clearly disclosed
in these two cases, that no intelligent
man can be mislead as to their in.
tentions.
Mr.. Washburn was elected to Con-
gress from one of the Minnesota dis
tricts by over 5000 majority, yet the
INSCRIPTIONS Democratic majority
avow their intention to deprive him
of his seat Their object in this is
exceedingly clear. Though the Re-
publicans have not a numerical ma
jority in the House, yet they have a
majority of State delegations,
and. if the election of president were
thrown into that body, would choose a
Republican president. To defeat this
and secure their own triumph at all
hazards, is now the desperate deter
mination of the kuklux Democracy.
Bv turning out Mr.. Washburn, they
destroy the Republican majority by
States, and thus make it possible for
the iniquitous scheme to steal the
presidency to succeed.
The action of the Democratic Com
mittee of Elections in the Senate to-
ward unseating Senator Kellogg, of
Louisiana, is equally illegal, unprece-
dented, and for purpose kindred to
that for which the House is pursuing
Mr.. Washburn, namely, to secure and
perpetuate Democratic ascendency in
the government. At the time of the
admission of Mr.. Kellogg in 1877.
the Democrats objected to his being
sworn in, and at the same time the
Republicans objected to the swearing
in of Hamburg Butler, of South
Carolina The matter was compro-
missed by both being sworn in with
the distinct understanding that neith-
er one was to be disturbed during the
term for which he was sworn in.
This was well understood by the
leading men in both parties, but now
the Democrats in the Senate, seeing
their majority growing small and
beautifully less by degrees, are will
ing to avail themselves of any un-
scrupulous means by which they may
perpetuate their power. The inde-
pendent thinking voters, of whatever
party, can see in these measures a
sample of the means by which the
kuklux obtained untimed control OF
Republican States of the South, and
it is for them to decide whether the
same kind of tactics shall succeed in
controlling the National Govern
ment. If after all the rebel Demo.
cracy are to rule this country
through fair or foul, means, what
good was there in snppressing the
rebellion. But they will not succeed
The people are opposed to them; and
the coming election will show thai
they have underrated the true
men of the North. They will
receive "a backset ! that vii
relegate them to their rightful posi-
ton, that Of conquered rebels.

The Outrage.

The conduct of the Whitaker investi-
CATION has been from this beginning an
outrage and travesty upon justice. There
seems to be conspiracy to shield the
guilty parties and ruin the "n;gger" The
West Point authorities had better have a
care how they trifie with this matter, for
the patience of the people has been tested
to the utmost limit in this affair, and it
would require very little to raise popu-
lar clamor against the institution.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The difference Letween the records
Of Arthur and English show up very
clearly and strikingly.
On the one hand Arthur, as public
servant, is denounced by President
Hayes and Secretary Sherman, acting
as agents of the people of the United
States. He is denounced and kicked
out of office in disgrace for winking at
the rascality of his subordinates and
for criminal carelessness in the admin
istration Of his office.
On the. other hand, Mr.. English, in
long and active career, has never held
position of trust from which, on re
tiring, he did not receive the enthusi
astic commendations of those whom he
served.
Can the intelligent and honest voters
Of Indiana find any difficulty in de
ciding which is the better man and
which IS more entitled to their conn
dence and suffrages.
Besides, Mr.. English is native In
dianian, and thoroughly identified with
the interests of the people of his native
State. No man can doubt that h
would, in the future, as the past, b'
faithful to any public trust committed
to him, and especially would all busi
ness men feel that the great materia
interests of his country would be en-
tirely safe under his management.
Offices should be bestowed for tn,
benefit of the public, and not as ner
reward for partisan services. MIR. En-
glish is plain, practical business MAJ
Of undoudted integrity, who woult
transact the public business as he doe
his own, on strictly business principles
No danger of his ever being kicked on
of office, like Arthur was, in order, a
President Hayes said, that the ofic
might be honestly administered.

MEN,


A great parade has been made in
all the political biographies OF Gen
Garfield Of the fact that he was
born In humble circumstances ane
that In his youth he drove mules oJ
the tow-path Of canal. But his rec
ord as the friend OF the class with
whom he associated In his youth
not referred to by his bioPrapher
They deal In glittering ger .ralitie.
They know his acts are not in &C
cordaDce with their encomiums. IL
his exalted station he has become the
friend, the champion, the beneficiary
Of every monster corporation like the
Credit MobiIier of America, which
stole $50, 100000 from the Peoples
Treasury in building the Union Pa
cifle Railroad like the Six Chinese
Companies of San Francisco, that fat
tens at the expense of Free American
Labor; like the CopdeA Free Trade
League Of England, Of which he isan
honorary member.
In the Forty-third Congress, when
Mr. Garfield was chairman of the
committee on Appropriations Of the
House Of Representatives, he brought
In the Sundry Civil BHI with clause
cutting down the wages Of
printers who work in the Government
Printing Office. Gen. HawIey, Of
Connecticut, moved to strike out this
clause, reducing the compensation Of
skilled mechanics. Gen. Garfield in
sisted that the printers in the govern
ment employ were overpaid-tbat
they received more and better pay
than they were entitled to. At the
close OF the next session OF Congress
he engineered through an amendment
to the Legislative Executive and Iu-
dicial Appropriation Bill, which not
only increased his own pay, but ex-
tended it back to the beginning of the
Congress. In the discussion of the
clause reducing printers wages Gen.
B. F. Butler, Of Massachusetts,, took
the floor and said that when Congress
would go to work and reduce the in
terest on the Government Bonds that
only cost SO cents on the dollar, and
by intervening legislation OF Congress
had been raised to the value of S1.16,
he would be willing to consider a
proposition TO reduce the wages Of la
boring men. Capitalists could always
csme To Congress and secure IegisIa-
tion to protec. their interests, and so
long as this continued he was in favor
of the mechanical and Iaboring classes
organizing TO protect their interests.

c4nFIrLD AGAINST FREE sALr.
Mr.. GarAslA opposes The Repeal or Ihe DHty
on salt.

A motion was made by Mr.. Hatch
on January 18th, 1880, to suspend
the rules and pass the following bill
to provide for the importation of salt
duty free:
BE Il enacted, etc, That no duty
shall be levied or collected, directly
or Indirectly, on the importation OF
salt brought into any port of tn Unit
ed States but salt, fine or course, in
bulk or in bags, sacks, barrels or other
packages, may be imported free of
duty.
Sec. 2. That all laws or regulations
of the Treasury Department in con-
fiict with this act be, and the same
are hereby, removed.
Sec. 8, That this act shall take ef-
feet and be in force from and after its
passage.
Mr.. Conger objected to its consid-
Grafton, but the objection was over
ruled by the SpeaF ,r. Mr.. Conger
then moved to djourn, and on that
motion demanded the yeas and nays.
The vote being taken the yeas were
81, nays 12S. Mr.. Garfield signified
his opposition to the bill by voting
yeG.
The motion to adjourn having fail
ed the question occurred on the mo-
tion of Mr.. Hatch to suspend the rules
and pass the bill. The yeas and nays
being called for the question was de-
cided in the negative, yeas lis, nays
115. Mr.. Garfield being recorded
among those not voting (see Cong.
Record, January 18th, 1880, p. 1S).
On the following day Mr.. GaIfield
rose in his place and said
ssMr. Speaker: I find that in the
list of yeas and nays on the Journal,
on the motion yesterday to suspend
the rules and pass the bill for the re-
peal of the duty on salt, I ann record
ed as not voting. l wish the correc-
lion to be be made. I uoted against

first session OF the Fortieth Congress,
Mr.. Fernando Wood asked unanimous
consent 10 offer the following TesOlu-
ton
Resolved, That this House extends
its sympathy TO the people of Ireland
in their pending struggle for consti-

sion of republican institutions in Eu-
rope.

cans, and James A. Garfield was one
of that number.

his hatred not alone of the unfortunat,

adian dungeons for more than fvl
years, but of the whole Celtic race.
