Among the republican senators who
have participated, the last two weeks, in
what may be styled the Malone debate,
none perhaps have dealt more ready and
sturdy blows than have the senators
from Massachusetts. One of the Bour-
bons, smarting under the we'll sustained
charge upon Bourbonism, inquired what
it was that it should be so arraigned.
Mr.. Hoar instantly arose and said that
at means a man who never learns any,
thing, aud who forgets great deal. ="
Mr.. Hoar was equally happy in his
argument that the coalition of the repub-
licans with Malone did not commit them
to reputation. Salmon P. Chase was
elected to the Senate by coalition Of
the democrats. but he remained true
republican in like manner John P
Hale in New Hampshire and Charles
Sumner in Massachusetts, owed theil
election to the Senate to coalition. Evi
IDENTIFY the logic of this debate is on thu
republican side.

that neither party will be found to have

The condition of the Irish peasants
goes from bad to worse. The passage of
the coercion act has, on the one hand,
crushed out open defiance to the laws,
and on the other. encouraged and enabled
the landlords to eject such of their ten
ants as can not or will not pay the rents.
Election rights have been issued by the
hundred, and large number of families
have been turned into the highways.
As they are all miserably poor the suf-
fer1ng among them is intense. There is
great curiosity to learn the provisions Of
the Land bill which the government is
supposed to be ready to introduce, but
thus far they are known only to its au-
thors. That they will be satisfactory to
the Land League party is scarcely
possible.

A delegation of cOlOred men, repre-
senting a convention of colOred repub-
licaus recently held in Baltimore, waited
upon the President Saturday and pre-
scented an address setting forth the
grievances of the colored republicans of
Maryland, who we're almost entirely
ignored in the distribution of the Fed
eral patronage in Baltimore. The Pres
ident replied that, in the appointment
to public Office, fitness and qualifications
of the individual should be considered.
His color, whether black or white, could
in itself be neither recommendation mol

The Senate of the United States, still
in session, is in serious deadlock over
the question of the minor officers of that
body. By the help of Malone, Vir-
ginia Senator, the Senate was organized
by the republicans. and that party OBJ
tanned control of the committees, but
when it was attempted to displace the
democratic understrapper, their party
came resolutely to their rescue and by
sharp practice, not unknown to the re-
publicans, have succeeded in preventing
the appointing of a secretary, seargent
at arms, etc. 1t is but just to say that
each of these officers has that in his rec
ord and character which makes him IN
worthy the place he has been named for
by the republicans. We wish the party
had put up men for these two places
above reproach, then the opposition Of
the democrats would be both factiou'
and disadvantageous to them as party

The question of the restriction of the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic llq-
uors is under discussion in many OF
the State legislatures now in session.
The action of the Massachusetts. Wis
consin and Pennsylvania legislature is
already known. New Jersey and In
diana have refused to adopt local OPP
ton, and Michigan, Illinois. West Vir-
ginia and Texas have rejected prohib-
itory constitutional amendments. A
stringent prohibitory law has been pass
ed by the Senate in Delaware, and it
will probably be concurred in by the
House. North Carolina has passed a
law subject to the opinion of the people
of the State, which is to be taken at an
election on the first Tuesday of next
August, prohibiting not only the sale,
but the manufacture, and even the i'm
portation of alcoholic liquors. The
question is undergoing active discus
sion in Ohio, and South Carolina has
prohibited the sale of liquor except ii
municipal corporations, where saloor
keepers must pay 500 for a license,tht
amount going into the county treasury.
