He Puts 1t Strong.

Speaking of the probable opposi-
sition to the regular Democratic
ticket next fall, the Yazoo Herald
Uses the following strong language
of the men who will belong to the
opposition party;
In every State ther9 may be found a
certain number of politicians OF the
Dugald Dalgetty stripe who are always
ready to draw their swords and WELD
them in hehalf of the party that gives
the most pay and provant, and Missls-
sippi is no exception to the rule. Pat
an office big or little at the heels OF
these, and forthwith their souls are
seer marching down with the slow but
intrepid tread of a hungry quadruped
of the assinine species to ribble az it,
1t is as easy for them to change Their
principles as 1t is for a man to discard
an old coat for q better one, and as to
the thing called conscience hurting
them for anything done by them, no
matter how shabby, it is a thing UNI
heard of-for such creatures as them~
selves have not the faintest idea OF
what conscience is. 1t is a sealed book
to them. 1t is to them IA moral terra
incogntta, and they become amazed as
they see their betters refusing to do an
unworthy act.

the public gain, we venture to predict womb
be far greater than the loss.
THE FACTIONS IN THE CITY.

The pure patriots who make mp the Demo-
cratic party in New-York are getting into
line again. The results of the November
election, the displacing of John Kelly, the
discovery that Mayor Grace could not
be led by the nose by Tammany, and
the efforts of the Committee of One
Hundred to turn the party inside out, made
such mess of Democratic politics that even
the old veterans hardly knew where they
stood. Order has not yet been evolved out OF
the chaos, but the shadows of coming events
are visible. 1t seems likely that all the pother
will end where it began, and that we shall have
again only the two old camps OF Tammany
and Anti-Tammany. The latter may float
new banner and be called by new name.
But the leaders and camp followers will not
be new.
The reorganization, from which so much
was expected, will probably accomplish
nothing except to reOrganze John Fox back
INTO Tammany Hall. That would be some
thing, for it would prove q severe blow to
Tammany. 1t does not profit any party TO
gain Mr.. Fox. Yet, no doubt, Tammany will
welcome him with open arms. She ~has
always had soft place in her heart
anu HlSH sldJ III HUI hdli iol .iOp'nt"n"
sinners-and, indeed, for many who were not
rcpentant. Unpleasant illusions to Mr. FOxs
tricks in the old Board of Supervisors will be
heard no more. Perhaps Mr.. Kelly and Mr..
Fox Will "make it up" and forgive each
other III public for all the bad language of the
past. TO see the two embrace on the Four
tecnh-st. platform would he as pathetic as the
famous reconciliation scene at the Cincinnati
Convention. And the sequel would probably
be similar. Nothing was really recOnciled at
Cincinnati, and Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Fox are
not fitted to dwell together in harmony long.
Each is apt, when he falls on the neck of an
old enemy, to feel furtivey for his fifth rib,
and the stab is not long delayed. AS
a stlrer-up of strife in any faction of which
he has been a part Alr. Fox has had few
equals in city politics. H. is too restless an
ntriguer to remain faithful TO the Tammany
leader. Faithful and submissive he must be
or ont he goes again, for Mr.. Kelly toerates
no rival.
All this plotting and contemplating
is an old story. Since the earliest
days of the Democratic party there
have been divisions in this city.
The real cause at the bottom of it all Is
simple enough. "Therc are not offices enough
to go around" And there never will BE-
enough. The number is now vastly too great
for the good of the city. The people have II
right to demand that this Legislature shall
cut down the excess, and cut it down I'M

tional system altogether. and the Worldwide
reputation of many houses in this city, which
are not connected with the National system at
all, proves that such connection is not essen
tial to the success of bankers in the great
commercial cities. The question for Congress
is whether it will make the National system
stronger and safer, or weaker and more ex-
nosed 70 disaster. But it cannot with safety
weaken that system i'll the great commercial
cities where the reserves of the whole country
must necessarily be held. There, more than
anywhere else, it is important to all that the
National banks should be strong Ill capital,
reserves and resources. But there, more than
anywhere else, it is true that circulation yields
an insignificant profit, and involves restraints
which banking capital finds irksome, and bur
dens which Congress now threatens to make
iutOlprable.

the Constitution. This Congress VIII refuse
TO consider any such measure. But either 2S's
or 322 members wonld give the minority Oh
voters less relative power than the bills pro-
posed by the Democratic Committee OF ny
Mr.. Cox. There is no necessity OF changing
the number. but if it is to be increased, tna1
increase should not be such as to give a'larger
proportion of power to the smaller proportion
of voters. That is not consistent with the
principles which underlie republican govern
ment.
But the vote at the South was small, 1t Will De
said ONLY because a part ofthOse who were emitted
did not vote. The country understands thae
fact, and understands also the shameful reason.
Thousands did not vote at the South because
they could not vote freely, save at the peru
of their lives. Thousands more did not vote
because they knew, as the result proved, that
their votes would not be honestly counted. In
the Northern States are 62.51 per cent OF the
population of the States, and they poiied
G,441596 votes. Had the Southern States
cast as many in prOportOn-and they shonld
have cast more, for they have fewer unnatur-
allied fOreigners-they would have CAST
3,S64O00 votes instead Of 2,776.9o4. over
100000 voters were robbed of their rights
by force, terrorism or fraud. And now the
perpetrators of these infamies want to cast
hereafter, not only the votes to which their VIC
tins would be fairly entitled. but enough
more to choose several members OF Congress
who ought to be elected by Northern voters.
1t is about time to put limit to this whole
sale robbery Of political power.
