POLITICAL POINTS,

JOHN KELLY seems to be friendless, and
there is danger of people beginning to feel sorry
for him.
The colored man was always very dear
TO the Democratic heart. In the old times the
average was about 5000.

eracy has been comparatively patient and
forbearing In the past ten years, while
the late confederate States have been
seething cauldron of crime and spoilation
of the rights of American citizenship (;
but as we reach the end of census de-
cade and new apportionment of repre-
sentation in Congress is to occur, the time
comes when halt must be called. The
South must either surrender portion Of
its representation or it's methods for
DISTINGUISHING the citizen. Every cit
izen counted in the census under the
theory of representative form of gov
ernment is entitled to cast one vote,
and in section Of the country where
the vote is silcnced by violence, in
timidation, or fraud on the part of
those who exercise that power, the man
who is thus bereft of his suffrage should
form no factor in the count of population
as q basis of representation. This is rad
ically right and in accordance with the
strict theory of our Government, and the
time is coming when this right will be
contended for as sternly as was the pres
ervation of the Union when those who
now despoil the citizen of his suffrage at
tempted to destroy the Government.
This subject presents a grave question,
which must be met and definitely settled,
or the Nation is liable to drift into con-
tinually renewed domestic strife, if not
into open and bloody rupture. The sup
preston of votes by violence, intimida-
ton, and fraud are crimes that cannot be
tolerated or condoned. They must be
prevented or punished condignly.

Charity.


In this bitter weather every humane
mind naturally turns to thoughts of the
needs of the poor. Some may toss the
head and say that the poor are chiefly
shiitless people, whose condition is their
own fault. This would not release us
from the obligation of ministering to
their necessities, if it were true but who
can say it is true? How many helpless
widows and orphans are among us? How
many invalids? The side walks are
crowded with the well-to-do, hurrying
about spending money generously for
holiday gifts. Let some go for blessed
charity. Handsome equipages roll down
the avenue whose occupants have been
favored by Fortune. Let them not for
get the unhappy children of Fate
Washington has many charities
Her people are not hard to move to good
works. But let new organizations spring
up all around which shall be the almoners
of the generously inclined. Think of the
ravages which are made by hunger and
cold. Flour and fuel must 20 into miser-
able abodes where now they are SO scarce.
You who are comfortable pity, those who
Il aiewyears agolost the husband or brother
who gave them such comforts as you now
enjoy. Do not wait to be asked. The
most worthy among the needy will not
make known their wants Let it be an
organized business to find them out.
The joys of your homes these holiday
times will be enhanced if you can know
thst you have appeased human hunger or
given warmth to "the looped and win
dowed raggedness" of the destitute.

The Xirrinin NIlcnwhcrs.

There is a mixture of staginess and
drollery in the performances of the Vir-
ginia Micawbers, or, as they call them
selves, Democrats-Funders the Read
iusters call them. Our attention is called
to them at this time by the thunder
ings of Alex Mcclure, who is just now
writing them up in letters TO his paper,
the Philadelphia Times He demon
strates that the selfstyled debt-payers of
Virginia are repudiators. lie says that
by the first Legislature of Virginia after
reconstruction "the one-third of the debt
was set apart to be assumed by West Vir-
ginia, for which a certificate was issued
as claim against that State-a claim, by
the way, that West Virginia never even
so much as considered"
Here was firm and intrepid repudia-
ton, by the debt-payers, of one-third of
the debt. They had neither the concur
renee of West Virginia nor of the credi-
tors. They simply waived off the credi-
tor with new note for two-thirds of his
claim, and draft for the remaining third
on stranger who had no funds of the
drawer, and who has never accepted the
draft. The late wilkins Micawber, esq,
used to give his notes of hand for The tchole
amount of his debts before he presumed
to look his fellow-man in the face and feel
that he owed not a dollar. Debt
payers of Virginia do not us well
us this. Their honor is satisfied
Mt lpwnr ,pint frk,rn
other neat bit of reputation when n
considerable amount of back interest was
paid by giving bonds for one-half of it.
The lofty airs of these debt-payers over
men who ask TO be heard on q PROPOSE
ton to actually pay some interest, instead
of talking about it merely, are hand
some contribution to the humors of the
day. Mr.. Mcclure is very much terrified
lest the Republicans shall disturb this
Micawber party in the control of the
States honor and the creditors interests.
He cannot bear the thought that these
fellows, who, by the way, are now offer
ing to cut the debt down to $i0,000oO0
and the interest to 2per cent, should be
made to stand aside and see if any other
party will pay something. He talks of
et-baggers when he speaks of white
Republicansas ilippantlya as any bull-dozer
Of them all, and in the same sentence
patronizes them by saying that they are
much respected by the Bourbon Funders.
We should be sorry to believe McClure's
statement. We should not be pleased to
see union of the so-called carpet-bag-
gers with the Democratic non-paying
debt-payers-the Micawbers of Virginia.
Such coalition would be infamous, and
the sympathies of Republicans of the
North would be ngainst il.

Exit John Kelly.

The Democracy of New York, acting
through Mayor Cooper, have discarded
John Kelly after electing his friend Grace
as Coopers successor. This has been done
under the immense pressure of public
opinion. The rose-water wing of the De-
mocracy wanted harmony with Kelly.
They gave him list of names from whom
mayor must be taken. He complied,
and selected Grace. The men who had
proposed Grace then deserted him and
made the air blue with execrations of him
and Boss Kelly. The original Grace men,
who bolted him because Kelly agreed
with them, have loudly demanded the sac
rifice of Kelly ever since for having in
jured his party. For our own part, this
has all seemed TO us exquisite fooling.
We are glad to see Kelly again
dethroned, for he has way of
making things lively while on foot. tits
generally admitted that he is himself
an honest man, ut any rate as honest as
the times will permit" as iovial old Dick
schell was wont to say, but his enemies
complain that his followers are the rough
and the vile. What leader will they de-
velop who will be able TO lead the New
York city Democracy to victory without
the aid of the criminal classes? FalstalI
complained of the character of his follow
ers, and said he would not march through
Coventry with them. The difference be-
tween him and Kelly is that his follow
ers will be the ones who will refuse to
march through Coventry with him.
MONTGOMERY BLAIR says in the S,,a
that what the Democracy died of WIS a
lack of Tildenism. He thinks the old
hulk can be brought up from the bottom
ofthe political ocean by steady firing of
Tilden cannon. Tildenism may be a good
thing with which to cnthuse what is left
Of the Democracy. If Mr.. Blair can have
chance he may, perhaps, undo all the
mischief. We would almost trust in him
to lead the deceased hosts of Pharaoh in
another attempt to follow the Israeltes
across the Red Sea. "If anybody kin he
