The Chicago Times adheres to it's
opinion that the Democratic party is
dead. The returns Of the recent
election do not Justify the opinion.
The total vote cast for President
by the Republicans and Democrats
was 8.675,429, of which Garfield got
4,439,4i5 and Hancock, 4,436, Oh
leaving Garfield the neager major
ity of 3,4O1.
A party that is beaten by barely
thirty -four hundred votes in q con
test where nearly nine million votes
are thrown can hardly be regarded
as dead or dying.
Hancock's defeat may be likened
to the failure Of a party at q State
election to carry it's candidate for
Governor by thirty-four votes in a
contest when 8S,754 are cast.
The opposite party which had
saved itself by such q hairs breadth,
would be apt to look upon its antag-
onist as anything but a corpse.
The Democratic party never cast
so many votes as at the late election.
It gave Hancock even q larger Lum.
her than it gave Tilden in 1875,
when the latter was elected, but
was cheated out Of his Office by the
present fraudulent President.
The Democratic party has votes
enough. What it needs is leaders
who are not knaves and not fools.

New England, says the Boston
Herald, has always been interested
in the States rights. and will always
defend them when assailed. Tenn
porarily it was turned aside by the
assumption of State Sovereignty
which led to the war, but that cpl
sode being over, the Herald looks
TO see its section return to what it
calls the the correct principles under
the constitution. 1t recognizes the
strength of the nationalistic princi-
pie in tire young and growing West,
and says that it is not impossible
that the East and South may yet
stand shoulder to shoulder in de-
Tense Of State Rights against the
West. Finally, it doesn't believe
that the two parties are divided on
the question, and instances the Re-
publican support of Senator Ed
munds' plan to count the electoral
vote, which recognizes the rights Of
the State 70 the fullest constitutional
extent, and Democratic advocacy of
the Morgan resolution, which gives
Congress the power to overturn the
decision Of State, as q proof of it's
proposition.

Hayes proposition to put Gen.
Grant over Gen. Tecumseh Sher-
man, by creating the grade Of Cap
tain -General, is particularly rough
in view Of the assiduous court which
both the Shermans have paid to
Hayes for the past four years. One
or the other has attended him faith
fully at agricultural fairs and on dis
tant journeys. Tecumseh Sherman
has twice been with him TO the far
West; only q short time since he
was his companion day and night
Ter months on q visit to California,
Oregon, and Washington Territory.
Wherever he went, Sherman sound
ed the praise Of Hayes. To have
the latter, on their return, coolly
propose to sat up Grant above him,
giving him, in effect, notice to quit,
was a bitter dose.

Brudder Jasper may go astray in his

when he has thousands of witnesses.

under way, he said, "Dat DIR. Mar

Our old uncle John, who runs the
wind pump for the amusement of the
readers of the Eaton Register, seems
to take great satisfaction every two
or three weeks in quoting what we
said about the support the DEMOCRAT
received from the party in this coun-
ty. Uncle Johns wind seems to be
the only machine about him that age
has not impaired. 10 is inexhaust-
ible. 1t never runs down on any
subject. We verify believe he could
furnish wind to run all the air
pumps in Preble county, and still
have sufficient reserve to cater for
the readers of the Register. How
ever, as publishing our complaints
has helped us, we feel like compen-
sating uncle John for the kindness,
and will do it in advice. Cut of
your wind on many editorials and
use the in reading proof of
your paper, and it will not be so I'M
mercifully criticised by the school

is bliss, It's folly to be wise"

The following which we clip from
the Cincinnati Commercial of Thurs
day last, will lie of interest to the
people of this place and on the line
of the old Evansville, Seymour and
Bellefontaine railroad:
The late interview between Col
onel R. Pattison, of Evansville, and
a reporter on the Evansville Journal,
relative to the Evansville, Seymour
and B~ellefontaine railroad, has re
vivifed our hopes.
We want that road, and anything
looking to a realization is pleasant.
Col. Pattison, during a recent Wis
it to New York city in the interest
of the road, was successful in form
ing u syndicate that will undertake
the enterprise and carry it to com
pletion.
1t is expected tiat work will be
commenced in the spring, and in
two years from that time the road
will be completed the ensire length
Of 285 miles. The contemplated
route connects Evansville, Ind, with
Bellefontaine, Ohio, passing in In
diana such towns as NewbuFg, Tay-
lorville, Seymour, Columbus, Green's
burg and Brookville; and in Ohio,
Eaton, West Milton, Troy, and st.
Paul. Already q tax has been voted
by the townships of Franklin county
through which the line runs, and
the people will regard the expendi-
ture as made upon an enterprise that
will do them substantial good.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D.. c.,
Dec. "a, 1880.

After all, the recess does not com
mence soon enough. An earlier be-
ginning by two days would have
saved US the infamous personal al
tercation of yesterday between Rep
resentative Weaver and Representa-
tive Sparks. Happily or unhappily
i don't know which-no blood was
shed, but such words as liar, coward,
villain, scoundrel, etc., were freely
used, and blows were prevented only
by the interpretation ofmembers who
managed to keep their heads. One
excited gentleman rushed around
the place where Weaver and Sparks
were ~disgracing themselves, pulled
off his coat and shouted, "If this is
a free fight / want to be in it," No
doubt MIR. Weaver was much more
blameworthy than Mr.. Sparks, but
they both acted and talked like den
liens of the Five Points. The House
ought to refuse 5he apology both
the gentlemen will probably make
to, day, and censure them.
Mr.. Wood was unable to get ac-
ticn on his funding bill when he
called it up yesterday. More oppc-
sition was developed than he expect
ed, though there is undoubtedly a
majority of a hundred In favor of
the bill. He hoped to get a vote to-
day prior to adjournment, but will
not be able to do so. Messrs. Mills
and Weaver opposed the bill yester-
day.
The Army bill being the fifth APP
preparation bill, was reported on
Monday in the House. It provides
for $4,000 men. Amendments will
be offered increasing the number.
The amount of money named in the
bill is $29, 00O,O 600.
The Pension bill for next year, al
ready passed by the House appro-
PIRATES $50, 100000 The appropria,
ton for the present year, which was
about 10000, 900, is nearly exhaust.
ed, and the Commissioner asks for
$16,000,0 600 more. l have some
knowledge of this subject, and dc
not believe the $50, 600, 900 just ap-
propriated will cover the pension ex.
peuditures of the next year by
twelve or fifteen millions.
An unexpected amount of opposi.
ton to the confirmation of Judge
Woods, nominated to the Supreme
Bench, has been developed. The
vote On confirmation showed but
eight Senators opposed, but q motion
was made to reconsider, and the
subject will remain open until seVe,
raj absent members return.
The course BIr. Hayes has taken
in relation to army matters-pro
noting personal or political friends
without regard to regularity OIL pre-
cedent, and retiring or emitting to
retire officers for the the same insult.
ficient reasons-is sure to have q de
moralizing effect upon the force.
Some feeling is being manifested
IN favor of the Ollohoma settlers
Payne's band. Their agent is here,
and will e Mr.. Hayes and the Sec.
rotary Of War. He has talked with
many members of Congress. Per
sonally he is not the man to make
many converts, OF to secure Execu.
tive favor, but the case of the set.
tiers now stands better than evel
before with all classes IF officials be
cause several trusted army officers
who have knowledge of the subject
recently declared their belief in the
righteousness of what the settlers
demand. Colonel Dodge, just ap.
pointed on the staff of Gen. Sher
man, is one of these officers

A Mississippi newspaper hopes
that the "South will remain solid
until the elections are as free and
fair in Massachusetts as they are in
Mississippi" just so, and there is
solid truth and fact in the remark.
If the negroes are bull dozed and in
Inundated in the South, there are
equally as many white employees
served the same way in the North
among the apufacturers, and before
the Republicans whine and snif1e
about reform in the South in the
matter, they should correct the evil
at their own doors. The New York
Sun remarks that the reports of the
Senate Committee furnish ample
proof OF the statement, if official evi.
dence were needed to establish q
fact, of which since the election Of
GARFIELD the bull-dozing manufac.
turers make a boast, and offer it as
just basis of future consideration al
the hands of the party they SO efec
tually served in this way. We arc
for a free ballot everywhere. We
want it not only as free in Massa.
chusetts as it is in Mississippi, and
Oice Veysa, but absolutely free; and
we believe it quite as great a crime
to suppress the intelligence of 6
white laborer by threats of dismissaI
from employment, as to drive a ne.
gro voter from the polls by threats
of personal violence.
