tirely blind and deaf to these. They met again
in December for the regular session, having
heard the volume of a nations hiss, and since
then they seem a different set of men. This
has been a velvet-fOoted, pussy-cat session.
One hardly recognizes this lot Of scared-looklng
statesmen going about softly with fingers on
their lips, saying "S-s-h-hW as the Congress
that bounced in a year ago in such precipltate
haste to exploit itself and get in its work at
reforming everything.
1t is the same Congress, but all, how
changed! how chastened and subdued Then
1t had large programme and brilliant future
It had things to do and things to undo, and it
went at them with confident gayety and large
loose chin. It has accomplished nothing that
it set out for, has accumulated nothing but ex-
perience and it is doubtful if it reaps any
benefit from that. A year ago it was bowling

Is this the same Congress7 One would
hardly recognize it as the slittish and high
spirited body that came prancing in little
moro than year ago. paving the air and
champing the bit with Impotence to be at its
high and holy mission Of political reform. A
Democratic House in the preceding Congress,
FESTIVE under the limitations Of a Republican
Senate and the restrictions of Il Republican Ex-
ecutive, had paved the way for its early COM
ing, and by Withholding the supplies forced
the Executive to summon lit In special session
nine months before its time. 1t was done de-
liberatcly, with purpose precOEccivcd and
openly proclaimed to demonstrate their own
capacity and show up the mGtness of their
OpDOncnts. Their impotence could not bido
the period of CESSATION. Nothing would do but
they must spring ut once into being and begin
their work. Great things were promised in the
way of undong the mischief wrought by the
opposition III eighteen years OF power, and OF
setting on foot the benciiccnt reforms which
the people demanded and the oppressed
country waited and lOngcd for. Possession OF
one branch Of Congress had given them only
partial power to carry out their plans. All
this they had used with the utmost diligence to
probe and investigate the record Of their adj
versarlcs in the search for rascaities to be held
up for popular dcnunciation, and they had
turned tit to such poor account that tho only
damage done was to themselves.
Now they were to have full swing to rip up
everything unhlndcrcd; "wipe out the legsla-
ton Of eighteen years of Radical misrule y;
make laws such as suited them, have free course,
run and be glOrilied. Everybody remembers
with whata Hoop " they came boundngIn !;
how they cleared out the Senate of Republican
officials at the start, swung their club over the
head of the President, and undertook not
merely to wipe out laws but to mnul the func-
lions Of the Executive. 1t was wild dance
they undertook to lead the country. The firm
handvOf President Hayes and the inteIpOsitOn
of the Executive veto put upon them gentle
constitutional restraint and kept them from
going to the mischcvOus lengths which they
woul, have reached otherwise; and at The end
of a few months exhibition of themselves they
tapered off, still threatening mischief in mOdi-
fed FORMS but with tucked tails and general
aspect of disappointment To the Christening
and subduing influence of the veto upon their
freshness were added little later the sugges-
tive lessons Of the Fall elections, and something
more than hint of popular dsapproval CT the
pranks they had been playing. Let US do them

THE NEW ELECTORAL PLOT.

Our Washington dispatches rehearse the
significant facts of the latest Democratic plot
to make Presidency-stealing easy Its author
ship illustrates the traditional Democratic care
lessness of Inconsistency. Senator Morgan,
who stands sponsor to it, cordially approved
the Edmunds bill on the electoral count when
that was brought before the Senate, and the
Edmunds bill and the Morgan resolution arc
dramatically opposed. The Edmunds bill
proposed that where two electoral returns
were made from a State, the highest
court of the State, or tribunal specially
constituted by the State for that purpose,
should decide which was the proper return,
and that decision should be binding upon
Congress. The right Of the State to say
what its vote should be was thus fully
guaranteed, and the door was firmly shut
against Mexicanizing disputes in Congress.
This true State Rights bill the Democratic
party now puts under its feet, and proposes,
apparently, to adopt q scheme for counting
the vote which would throw the whole
election into Congress, there to be fought
over as in a Vigilance Committee. 1t
should be observed that the bill has been
put into the form Of a concurrent resolution,
which will not need tho Presidents signature,
and can thus be moulded in any shape the
Democrats DESIRE Under this resolution the
two houses can not only reject one electoral
return where there are two, but can do the
same when there is one only. Nay, more,
the majority can put its finger on any one

There must have been rather q remarkable sceno
in the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Mon
day evening last. That Mayor oflwhOm San Fran
cisco is not particularly proud, tho Rev. Isaac II.
KalIoch, was in the chair. The Judiciary Committee
of the Board made long report, charging the
Mayor with having encouraged the lawless and
Disconnected element, and with having excited pop
ular outbreaks whenever it would suit his purposes.
Mr.. Kaloch heard himself denounced as unscrupu-
lous Likewise, as unprnCiplcd Moreover, as devoid
of integrity aud Of fidelity to the public interests

vote shall not be counted. The provisions LOT
preventing investigation in such cases ana
choking debate are in full harmony with
the rest of this infamous bill. 1t seems
incredible that the majority should dare to

Now that the progress of the canvass has
seemed to show that General Grant cannot
be nominated at Chicago, unless there is some
great and unexpected change in the situation,
one thought is uppermOst in the minds OF
Republicans VINO think more of the success OF
their party than of the success OF any partlcu-
lar candidate. That thought ThurlOw Weed
suggests when he says, in the talk
reported elsewhere, cit is plainly and
imperatively the duty of ex-President
"Grant to withdraw from the canvass"
1t would be difficult TO overestlmate the sig
nifcance of Mr.. Weeds reasons for taking
this stand. This veteran Republican,, who has
enlarged his native shrewdness with long
and remarkable experience until he knows
more politics than q whole generation of
Younger politicians, says that il General Grant
should persist and obtain the nomination after
all. he would surely be defeated. 1t would
NOT make "any difference" who should be the
Democratic candidate. Even Tilden, with his
back breaking load of ciphers, tax suits and
marty ouarrels, "wOuld be stronger candidate
ethan Grant, This, be it remembered, is not
the talk of "Scratcher," but OF Thurlow
Weed. But will General Grant withdraw

One of the oddities of the POLITICAL situa-
ton is the use of Mr.. Washburne's name as
an anti-Grant candidate, in spite of all his
protests that he is for Grant first. last and all
the time. This was done in Wisconsin
the otter day, and was done again
in Chicago on Saturday, when the Blaine
and Washburne men worked in unison,
elected together large majority of
the delegates to the State Convention, and
thus defeated General Grant badly in tho
leading city of his own State. 1t is too soon
TO say that this will cause his overthrow in
the State Convention, but it is certainly
enough to justify high hopes on the Part of
rival candidates.

If benches were placed upon the platforms at the

close little waiting-rooms, an improvement would
be made which would be appreciated by that por-

Phil Sheridan and the Planter

During the pursuit OF Lees army
from Peterburg to the Appomattox,
General Phil Sheridan commanded the
advance of Grants army. At dawn on
the eth of April all rebels were on the
north side of the Appomattox, with the
Union troops close on their heels.
Sheridan, ever at the front, stopped at
a farm house near Prospect Station,
~dismounted, tied his horse, and started
up the walk. =.
Upon the piazza stood a middle-aged,
typical Southerner, with long, straight
hair, combed behind his ear and cover
ing his neck a swallow-tailed coat, buff
w~aistcoat, nankeen pantaloons, and mo-
rocco slippers. A gorgeous shirt frill
adorned his bosom, and from the en-
brasure Of a wall like collar he shot def
ant chances. He bowed stifiy to the
General, who, nodding carelessIy, sat
down on a step and pored over his maps.
Soon he looked up and SAID:
"Have you seen any Of Lees troops
about here to-dayT
flantcr-CiT, ds L cau Iiu'y BOY e""1
none have been seen by me, l will say
SO but, if l had seen any, 1 should feel
it my duty to refuse to reply to your
question. l cannot give YOU any in
formation which might work to the dis
advantage Of General Lee.
The General, with q little whistle OF
surprise, pulled away at his cigar, and
continued to study his map. In q few
minutes he looked up again, and asked
"How far is it to Buffalo riverT
"Sir, 1 don: know"
Sheridan-The - you don't How
long have you lived here2
Planter-Ail my life.
Sheridan-Very well, sir it's time

him down to Buffalo river, to show it
to him.
The Virginian of the old school en-
joyed the pleasure of t%ramping through
five miles of mud to look at the river
with which he was perfectly familiar.

He was safely bound, and hen ques-

brother and I troubled him toe much.
