The Radical ObstruetiOnists Re
arranging Their Lines.

arranging Their Lines.
Having decided to assist the consum-
nation Of the Malone Gorham bargain,
the Republican moderates Of the Senate
have advanced the argument of the
majority rule, as their platform in the
matter. Heretofore, the contest has,
avowedly, been over the "spoils;" an at
tempt is now being made to raise a prin-
ciple as a mask for the real object of the
Republican struggle. An abandonment
Of the point that Mahone's creed is "free
suffrage" ETC., instead of Debt Repudia
ton, was early necessitated by the re-
fusal of the people to ven give it a hear
ing. The Republican Senators are now
r~earranging their lines upon majority
rule" Such Republican Legislatures
as are still in session will be called
upon to support them. In the
Pennsylvania body, however, a caucus
was necessary in order to procure ODE
dience to the demand. Soon the de-
mand for aid will reach all trade and
commerce organizations which are con-
trolIed by Republicans, and the "busi-
ness interests" will then be pointed to as
arrayed in support of Malone and Cor
ham. If the Democratic Senators still
hold out the Republican pulpits will be
called upon, and will, of course, respond.
Such is the programme whenever the
Republican managers find themselves in
a strait, and there are indications that it
will be carried out in the present in
stance. 1t is the Republican method of
manufacturing what is, when com
pleted, called public sentiment"

An appeal has been made in New York
through the Consul General of Greece
for aid for the sufferers by the recent
earthquake which destroyed Chic. Some
idea Of the extent of the calamity may
be formed when it is known that On the
island, the area Of which is only about 400
qua miles, and whose population does
notexceed so. 600, 5000 personsperished.
Besides this terrible loss of life, the suf-
fering is described as of the most heart
rending character. It is to be hoped
that the appeal for aid viii not be made
in vain. When calamities far less seri-
Gus. both in our own country and abroad,
have occurred in the past, the appeals
met with quick and liberal responses,
and we feel assured that the spirit Of
charity in this instance will not be il
yoked in vain.

SENATE ABsENTEEIsM.-A Washing
ton dispatch says: In the votes which
have been taken in the Senate in the last
week, on an average nearly or quite one.
third of the Senators have been recorded
as absent. The fact that during the
whole week a number of these Senators
were in the city, and could have attend
ed the sessions of the Senate if so dis
posed, furnishes strong proof of the
want of interest in the wild hunt for
Office. Several Senators have left the
city, not intending to return during3 the
executive session, and to day a number
of others have announced their intention
to do the same. These departures will
then cut the Senate materially, and if the
Republicans persist in refusing to trans
act the business for which they were
called together, there is a possible con-
tingency that the Senate may find itself
without a quorum.

There Is a revolt in Tammany Hall
against John Kelly, and a movement is
on foot TO depose him at the next annual
election, which takes place on the 18th

fess to have thoroughly examined the
internal condition of Tammany affairs,

Divorce has become a steadily increas-
ing feature in Continental countries of
late years. Statistics recently presented
to the Societe d'Economic Politique of
France showed that in the four years
between 1910 and 1874, inclusive, the
number of divorces in Holland had been
one for every So, COS inhabitants in Bel
GUM, one for every 196.5O2, and in
France, one for every 1882. Compar-
ing these proportions after an interval Of
thirty three years, we find that the fig
ures are: In Holland, one for every
25, 49 inhabitants; in Belgium, n for
every 43, O97; and in France, one for
every Is, $40. The formula of proceed
ing in France is classed under the head

Should the contest in the Senate re-
solve itself into one of physical en-
durance the Democrats will have an
overwhelming advantage, because only
One-third of them need remain in the
Senate chamber at one time, while two
thirds can take their natural rest. Upon
a test of who can stand it longest, it is
therefore evident that the Democrat,
who sleeps two nights out of three, can
easily outwork and outlast the Republi
can who gets no sleep at all.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. &. February I, 1881.


The Senate Democrats have acted sem
sibly in proposing 30 fair and easy solu-
ton OF the electoral count question that
even the most unreasonable Republican can
not object tp II without blushing For some
time it has been certain that the original
Morgan resolution could not be forced
through the House, and, indeed, have been
unable to find many Democrats who believed
| it to be the best solution of the question.
The fuss over It has not helped the Demo-
crats at ALL The election of Garfield being
conceded, and there being no doubt as to
counting The vote of any state but Georgia,
and as there is no partisan dispute even AS
to that state, | fail to see why both Repub
licaus and Democrats should not at once
unite upon the proposition which originated
In the Senate yesterday. 1t is to the effect
that the two Houses shall meet in joint con
vention in the hall of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes the Senate appointing one teller

The amendment to the Constitution of Il

The amendment to the Constitution of the
United States proposed in the Senate by
Hon w. A. Wallace on Friday last pro-
viding for the election of President and vice
President by direct vote Of the people is
attracting general attention. Senator Wal.
lace's proposition divides the several States
into convsnie ut districts, each State to con
tain as many districts as it has Senators and
Representatives in Congress and each dis
trict to cast one vote for President and Vice
President. plurality vote to elect. The
votes of the several districts are to be certi-
fed to the Federal House of Representatives
by.a State board of canvassers. The idea of a
direct vote for President and Vice President
has long been favored by this journal. 1t
was suggested by Andrew jackson when
President in one of his messages to Congress
and advocated by Thomas II. Benton IN
the United States Senate who introduced a
bill to carry it into effect. Senator Wallace's
plan, however,is an improvement on former
suggestions of direct vote for Pres.den.
The district plan preserves the present pow
er ofthe smaller States and at the same time
desectionalizes the canvass for the Presiden'
cy. Under it many Northern districts would
cast their votes for the Democratic candi'
dates and many Southern districts for the
Republican candidates. The frauds com
mitted in the great cities, too, would be rem
dered less efectual as they could affect only
few districts instead of controlling as now
the voice of an entire State. The amend
ment should speedily become part Of the
Federal Constitution.-Pa Patriot.

Few men express themselves more CO.
gently and clearly than Col. Forney. In a
recent Progress. when speaking of the stu
alton OF affairs in the States late in rebel
Ion, he says The theory that the Solid
South will dissolve under the genial innu
ence of new processes is not true as applied
to politics, or if correct as to tho South, is
still more SO as to the North. That which
is surest to disintegrate is the Republican
system Of bribery aud corruption. Such a
system cannot last. The fact that it only
won last November by narrow margin
of votes, that its majority is made up Of
negroes, aud that on the basis Of the white
votes Garfield was beaten by balfa million,
shows that the Republican organization is
sham and shadow, to pass away in a
short time; whereas the tremendous poll of
the Democrats against such AZ array OF
oddsshows that it is the only true, stern, and
lasting reserve Of the nation.
