Perfectly Consistent.

It would be perfectly consistent for the
Democrats in the Senate to show stubborn
fight over and resort to extreme parliament
tary devices to obstruct the organization of
that body by the majority. The question
at issue is the only one on which they have
ever shown consistency. 1t is contest for
the spoils and that is the primary concep-
ton of the mission Of their party Were 1t an
issue over policy affecting governmental
administrations great principle growing
out of the Constitution, or touching the ma
ture of our institutions, or the welfare of
the people, we would expect them to sur
render or back down, as usual. AS to these
there is no conviction with that party. Its
sole principle is opposition to the Republic
can party, regardless Of what is opposed or
how it affects the interests of the nation.
But when it comes to holding on to few
petty offices, which the verdict of the peo
pie has notified them they must vacate,
their patriotism is touched-all the fire and
fight of their virtuous souls become aroused.
and the very wheels of government would
be made to stand still before they will let
60. We expect therefore stubborn cons
test in the organization OF the Senate, be-
cause the matter involed reflects the dear
est principle of the Democratic party the
spoils of otflce-the only principle it under
stands, or ever manifested any interest in.

Standing Firm.

There was an unusually large attendance of
country people in Staunton last Monday, the
first day ofthe March Court The weather was
pleasant and the sky clear, which induced q
vast concourse of the citizens of the county
to meet to attend to business, compare opin-
ions and hear and discuss the news The
leading, representative Re-adjusters of the
county were in full force, and many who did
not aspire to that distinction. We mingled
with them freely, and found every one enthu-
siastic over the brilliant debut of Gen. Ma
hone in the United States Senate, and heart
lily in accord with the position he had as
sumed and the sentiments to which he gave
utterance. Not only this, but a number of cit
liens who have not heretofore acted with him,
expressed their admiration for the effective
manner in which he resented the offensive as
sault of Senator Hill, of Georgia. The 81
mon-pure Re-adjusters were in high glee, and
had grown several inches since we last saw
them.
We also met representative Re-adjusters
from Rockingham and Page counties, and they
report a unanimous sentiment of appro-
val of the course of Gen. Malone with their
constituents. From all we can learn we think
the Re-adjuster column will be considerably
enlarged by next fall, and if the same policy
and purpose manifested last Monday directs
in the campaign this year, there will be live
ly and very aggressive canvass.

agent Lancaster as being involved in the de
reelection of certain government officials, de-
manded an investigation of his official con-
duct IN this district, by the grand jury, and
after most thorough investigation and the
examination OF numerous competent and in
telligent witnesses, the grand jury returned
into Court the following report, signed by
every member of the jury, and requested that
it be spread upon the records, which was ac-
cordingly done:

The Administration.

The estimate formed during the late can
vass as to what would be the character of
President Garfield's administration has
been fully sustained. thus far in his inau-
gural address, the selection of his cabinet
aud the appointments he has made. The
address was a masterpiece of craftsmanship,
showing his clear conception of the duties
of his high position, the principles involved
in administrative policy and the obligations
which the Constitution and laws inn
pose. His choice of constitutional advisers
drew to his side gentlemen of high charac-
ter and ability, representing the various
shades of differences in the constituent
body of the party, designed to harmonic
all elements, and present solid Republi-
can front during his administration. The
appointments thus far, and notably those
in New York, seem to haye been directed
to the same end, the purpose being to re-
cognize and satisfy. as far as possible, the
known leaders of the party, and to give
neither just cause of complaint. Through
out every act thus far the master-mind Of
the President is visible, asserting that his
influence will be exerted to crystalizing and
vitalizing the power of the Republican par
ty.at the same time that he is the real active
embodiment of the Presidential preroga-
tives: The concurrent testimony of all
who have approached him and have had OPP
portunity of learning his methods is that
there is to be straightforward, liberal Re-
publican MISUNDERSTANDING to a
broad policy to strengthen and extend Re-
publican influence, and convince the coun-
try that there is nothing inconsistent in be-
ing Republican with devotion to the true
interests of State or section. The cast of
his mind is too robust and bis patriotism
too broad and comprehensive to be dwarfed
into narrow partizan channel, or to toler-
ate any other ambition than to be Presi-
dent of the whole country-only demand
ing that the laws shall be equally obeyed
and respected, and the rights they assure
enjoyed in one State as in another. Very
rarely has it bee the fortune of the gov
eminent to be presided over and directed
by President of such varied experience
and enlarged and cultured intellections,
and seldom has it been that the Chief Execu-
tive of the Nation has entered upon the re-
sponsible duties Of his office under auspices
more propitious. His high attachments and
great abilities are recognized by political
friend and foe, and supplemented by ripe
craftsmanship and generous emotions, the
country has a right to expect one of sxe
most brilliant and successful administra-
lions that has ever illumined the history
of the nation.

The Bargain. Z"

The consternated Bourbons are very in
dignant because the Republicans, as they
allege, have made bargain with Gen. Ma
hone, and that each has sold out to the 9TH
er. They seem very apprehensive that it
will iniure the high character heretofore
maintained by the Republican party, and
unfavorably affect the good name OF the
been made is that Gen. Malone saw prop
er to vote against Bourbon Democracy in
the United States Senate which he has been
warning against for five years in Virginia,
and the Republicans saw fit to recognize his
great services to the country-North and
South-in his independent action. by sus-
tanning and encouraging him. That is all
the bargain that was made, or is likelyto be
made. 1t was perfectly natural when the
whole force of the FOSSIL zed Democracy
cans should come to his aid, and that the
administration should indicate by its action
that he had its sympathy. Nothing would
please the Bourbons better than that Gen.
Malone should be crushed out of political
existence by the combined opposition Of
Democrats and Republicans, but the latter
understand that when Democratic Sen
ators and the Democratic caucus determine
to demolsh a man or a cause, there
must be something to be commended in
that man or cause. They see Gen. Malone
singly and alone of the Senators from the
South demanding that the Constitution OF
the United States and the laws Of Congress
shall be respected-that their guarantees
shall be practically recognized, and that
the ballot-the great source of Republican
institutions-shall be preserved in its pu-
rity, with every man protected in its legit-
innate enjoyment and the unembarassed
exercise of its privileges. Could they do
otherwise than come to his support, when
he is assaulted, one after another, by al
most every Democratic Senator? Could
you shall have the support of the govern
ment in the unequal contest-its moral and
material aid, so far as it can be given le-
Ultimately and in justice to the Republi-
can party? This is the bargain, and all OF
it. The Republicans are ready to assume
the responsibility of it, and when neces-
sary go to the country on it. When the
issue is made before the people there will
be a wonderful shaking of dry bones in the
South, and many well laid schemes for the
advancement of Democratic politicians will
feel the effect, The people are tired OF
Bourbon rule and will give such evidence
of their protest as will startle the leaders
from their repose, and cause them to re-
alize that there is power in this bargain
that is onsweeping and resistless.

drawing next year, and getting over six
teen per cent. profit beside his interest. So
it will be in subsequent years, every year
proportionate amount of the loan, Sc
lected by lot, will be paid off at par. Yet,
with this fascinating inducement Of large
and speedy possible profit, the bonds could
not be sold within sixteen per cent. of par.
The French people subscribed for fifteen
times the amount of the loan, but they
would not give over S34 for three per
cent bond. These facts show that not even
the French people are willing to take
three per cent. loan. And much less will
the American people be disposed to do so,
when the vast industrial enterprises now
springing into existence are offering induce
ments for renumerative investments rarely
ever presented for the consideration of the
citizens Of any country?
No man or party is the true friend OF the
country who seeks to daily with public
credit, or mislead the people by delusive
and deceptive statements affecting public
credit. 1t is the work OF the reckless
and dangerous demagogue and him alone.
1t is the duty of good citizenship and states
manship to educate the popular mind up to
the observance of conservative methods
and practical agencies for the attainment of
the public good. ?andering to the cupid
ity and passions of the masses, and seeking
to lead them from the path Of right and
justice-to inculcate looser notions of public
duty, and looser notions of public policy.
and subordinating the great interests OF the
country, affecting alike the rich and the
poor, to the base purposes of party. is
something no true man or patriotic citizen
will be guilty Of The people want the
truth that they may learn their duty. They
are Inherently honest, and their departure
from it is the result of the vicious teach
ings of those who know better, but have a
selfish and unworthy motive in misleading
and deceving the masses. The newspaper
is, or should be public educator, and its
ambition should be only to inspire the pub
lie mind with a love of truth and fairness
and justice, and not to debase it to better
subserve the ends Of parties and partizans.
