There is one phase of the present dead
lock business in the Senate, that perhaps
the President has not thought of as care
fully as he ought. In face of strong Re
publican opposition to many of his nom
nations, it is necessary for him to depend
on the votes of the Democatic Senators in
order to have them confirmed, and he
would undoubtedly have secured those votes
had he acted as President of the Uuited
States should, and used his influences tC
expedite the business of the Senate, instead
of bolstering up fight of factions. His
duty was to break the deadlock not to en-
courage it. No wonder that the Demo
Gratis are beginning to feel that they are
absolved by the Presidents own acts
from the usual acts of so-ca1led
courtesy, and the rejection OF
some part of his nominations in the senate
may show Mr. Garfield that when he for
gets his position as President of great
Union in the partizanship of a fractional
leader he is apt to be rewarded in kind
and the men he antagonized in his latter
position are apt to retaliate upon him in
his former

Some state papers are still harping on
the subject of the Springfield hotel keepers
and their refusal to keep the colored sing
ing troupe. We are sorry, but it will be
rather hard work, to make much political
capital, in the shape of colored outrages
out of the affair. The papers are hardly
to blame however, for their whole political
stock in trade consists in just such stories
and the oftener they can refer to some
such matter the more confident they feel of
retaining their grip on the.public offices
and consequently the public purse. When
a mans bread and butter depends on his
being indignant over matters that he would
otherwise view with perfect Indifference, it
