he will put on his war paint in gor-

will go for the scalps of the demo-

Special Correspondence to The Republican :.
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Jan. %, 1881.
The Democrats are making prepa-
Irations to celebrate their political
demise by perpetrating the last of
the many infamies which have dis
graced their rule in Congress. By
breaking the pairs" or rather fore
ing members to break their plighted
faith with each other, they have 149
members III the city, and threaten to
call up and pass the electoral count

the amount of resistance contained
III the Republican minority, and may
have a harder time passing the resoo
luton than they anticipate.
1t is quite amusing to note the nu-
merous lodges employed by the
Democrats to prevent themselves
from being placed squarely against
the bill to place Gen. Grant on the
retired list of the army. Yesterday
Senator Logan called up the bill, and
kept the Democrats lodging until at
last, tired of furnishing sport for the
Republicans, they voted to take up the
Indian land in severalty bill.

| every days paper brings us news OF
accidents in various parts of the
country, This week we notice
wreck of three passenger cars on the
Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Rail
road, by which two passengers Were

wreck on the New York Lake Erie

Mr.. Platt, the newly elected Sena-
tor from New York, has not made
much noise in politics or business,
and has not been ostentatiously con-
spicuous but he has always been
found where there was work to be
done. He has been Republican
since the organization of the party,
and is a stalwart of the most stalwart
kind. Mr.. Plat, his friends say, is a
friend of C0nkling because Mr.. Conk-.
ling is a friend of the principles and
policies which he approves, and they
declare that he will not be an ecEo.

from Jericho TO Jerusalem, and al
though Mr.. CoIten passed over that
dangerous highway in safety, we
warn HIM that he is not yet out of
danger. He may possibly fall among
enemies before he rea hes the eXecu-
tive mansion. In this connection is
it not strange that neither Mr.. A. P.
German nor any other member of
the canal board was invited to the
reception rendered Mr. CeIton at

The Democratic Congress will step
down and out leaying the same old
smell behind it. It's last days are
devoted to an effort to steal q seat in

theft of the Presidency possible.
There is no prstence of respectable
and useful legislation beyond the

real object, il must be confessed that
they succeed perfectly. '"

Legal Notes.

DoSdl NUGOo.
A passenger on the New York Cen
tral and Hudson River Railroad find
ING no vacant seats in the ordinary
coaches. the seats being occupied
either by passengers or their baggage,
nrocesded to "a drawing. room car.
owned by a private individual, but
forming part of the train, and regu-
larIy run with it by contract with
the railroad company, and there to TX
seat. When called on for extra fare
for that seat he refused, announcing
his readiness to 60 into the other cars
if seat were provided for him there.
Thereupon the porter of the draw
ing.room car, employed by its owner,
attefn pied to eject him. The New
York Court of Appeals holds that
the railroad company is liza BILE for this
assault.
In the New York Supreme Court,
recently, Frank q. Thomas sued the
City of New York to recover 5000
damages on account of having broken
his leg by falling upon an ley side
walk. The evidence showed that
once when he came to the place of
accident, on his way to his business,
he crossed on the other side of the
street, considering that it would be
dangerous for him to attempt to walk
lover the accumulation of snow and
| ice which he had observed there
The next time, however. he walked
straight on, and fell, breaking his
leg. 1t further appeared that the icy
place com blamed of covered only a
small portion of the sidewalk and
that it was possible to walk in perfect
safety both between it and the house
line, and between it and the gutter.
These facts, Judge Donohue holds,
show that Thomas was guilty Of con-
| tribut0ry negligence. lnasmuch as,
knowing the dangerous character of
| the piaee, he voluntarily took the
risk upon himself when he undertook
to cross il. The case was therefore
| dismissed.
The Supreme Court of California
has set aside verdict for $4,000
damages against the Central Pacific
| Railroad Company, and in favor of
the widow of one of its conductors,
who was killed in col lision with
two head Of cattle while his train
was rounding cure at point where
the track was not fenced. The Court
held that the conductor knew that
the track was untenced at that point
when'he entered the employ of the
railroad company, and that he took
his own chances of being injured.

not only has convictions and the

With this number THE REPUBLI-
CAN changes hands, and in assuming
our position as editors and publishers
it may be proper for US to say. THE
REPUBLICAN, as its name indicates,
will be Republican in politics and
will be devoted to the interests of the
Republican party. to the develop
lnent of the interests of Garrett coun-
ty, and to the public coed generally.
Personal interests will only be
supported when we deem them en-
tirely consistent with those enumer-
ated above. For ourselves we beg to
say that we have no political aspira-
ton to subserve and. we have not
purchased THE REPUBLICAN,, with a
view to advancing the individual
political aspirations of any person.
We will endeavor to maintain for
THE REPUBLICAN, that high moral
character, which it has achieved I'm.
der its late editor and proprietor.
The composition and press depart
ments will be in charge of Captain
James A. Hayden, and we feel quite
sure, that this announcement will be
sufficient guaranty that this part of
the work will be well done We
hope to secure your patronage by
making our paper useful to you.

NO better illustration Of Demo.
cratic methods and morals has been
furnished for long time than that
given by the outcome of the Bisbee
Hull contest. 1t was just as plain
two years ago as it is to-day that
Hull had no right to the seat. The
evidence was clear, simple and in
disputable. Yet Ii was allowed
to holI the seat, to vote regularly
with the Democratic party, and to
draw pay for so doing. Now when
the term is almost expired, the Dem.
ocrati, Committee, with no fresh
evidence to force convection, de,
cides that the seat belongs to Mr.,
Bisbee. Even yet Hull is not ousted.
Heis likely to draw pay till the very
end of the term. OF course Bisbee
Is entitled to pay for the full term,
and the result will he that the Gov.
eminent will pay double salary for
the same seat for two yeats, having
nothing to show in return but the
votes of an Illegal Congressman
which have been east uniformly
against the best interests of the coun.

Don Piatt says of the democracy !:
"But vitality and pluck have so died
out, with the principles that once
animated this great political organi-
zation, that it can be kicked with
impunity, and covers its bruises with
plasters made up Of dead head stamps
and passes. Samrandalism has made
the Democracy disease, and it is to
the body polite what bots is to a
horse-something extremely irrita-
ting, but only dangerous when the
animal is low in flesh and very
weak"

In disposing of THE REPUBLICAN
/ desire to day to those who have
sustained me in my efforts to build
up a republican paper in Garrett
county, that nay greatest object in
starting TIE REPUBLICAN, was to
furnisk the people of Garrett county
with paper supporting the repuhli'
can party and republican principles.
Having secured that object now re-
tire from the position of editor and
publisher, to accept one less onerous
and responsible. My object in dis
posing of THE REPUBLICAN is to re
lieve myself from cares and response
bilities which come alike to every
party ergan, and which to me are
becoming burdensome. L desire to
return my thanks to my patrons who
have given me their support in the
past, and / ask You to continue your

During a debate on the funding

be placed al that figure. and stating
that there would be an immediate
market for four hdndred millions of

minded him that ethe Democratic
party had never borrowed a dollar at

could not deny it. The Democrats
