Democratic Incspacity.
New York Tribune

AS the end of Congress approaches,
the condition of the Democracy be-
C mes more and more pitiable.
Wnatever Of good has been accomo
plished at this session has been
accomplished in the face of Democrats
ic opposlloo. Their attacks upon the
public credit and their efforts to
create disturbance about the elector
al count nave been defea5ed by the
superior generalship of the Republi-
cans. The session has displayea in
stronger light than ever the incanac-
ity OF the Democrats for public af-
fairs. Toey pass from power dislrust
ed ny the public. and thoroughly
disheartened as to their own future.

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. 16.-Paddy
Rian, prize-fghter, was arrested
last night on a requisition of the
governor of West Virginia, certified
by Governor Cornell, for his partici-
patton in fight with Joe Goss in
that State last summer. After his
arrest, and just previous to his be-
ing taken to the midnight train to
New York, habeas corpus was
served on the officer, the writ being
returnable this morning. Rian was
held in custody at the Globe Hotel
all night by officers. This morning
he asked permission to visit his sa-
loon to arrange his business matters,
and was accompanied thither by one
of the officers. After he had enter
ed the saloon a crowd collected, and
he walked out, the crowd holding
the door shut in the officers face,
preventing pursuit. Rian jumped

THE SPRINGFIELD MOB.
Governor Hawkins is Determined
to Prevent Violence.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 16.-The
governor has been notified by Judge
Stark that the latter had discharged
the military at Springfield in the
belief that no further danger is to
be apprehended. The governor
ordered the companies back to Nash
vile. The governor afterward re
ceived a telegram from the attorney
general saying: Without strong
guard of military the prisoners will
be mobbed." The governor has tel
egraphed the sheriff to summon the
entire power of the county to pros
tect the prisoners against unlawful
violence, by all means, and that the
court, civil officers, and the good
people of Robertson county could
maintain the dignity of the law and
good name of the county if they
would.

AS TO THE CABINET.
Rather Diverging Views as to
Sherman's Successor from New
and Dorsey.

Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
New YORK, Feb. IA Herald re-
porter yesterday interviewed John
G. New and ex-senator Dorsey. The
former gentleman said:
"Of course Indiana ought to be
represented in the Cabinet, but we
all recognize the claims of New York
and feel that her deserts are para
mount"
"Then it is likely that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury will be taken
from New York"
''Not only likely, but possible.
Her commercial Importance, the fact
that she is the great financial center,
and certainly that she did SO much
to cause the great victory in Novem-
Der, are arguments in her favor that
cannot be gainsaid."
"Have you any definite opinion as
to the man likely to be selected?"
81 have.
"Who is he? Morton
eyes; Levi P. Morton. He is to
the manor born. He is staunch
Republican, competent fnancier, a
favorite in Washington, and New
Yorker. Very few know of the val
liable services rendered by Mr.. Nor
ton during the campaign. He was
always ready with advice and ma
terial aid, and if efficient service
counts for anything, he should have
a position
"And you really think he will be
selected?'
II do, and furthermore, I believe
if he accepts, it will be at great
personal sacrifice, for he will be com
PEELED to give up his private bust ;
ness, and however competent man
may be assigned to it, common sense
teaches that Mr. Morton will be the
loser"
"But the honor
"Oh, yes, there is plenty of honor,
but there is no money in the posi-
ton without stealing, and Mr.. Nor
ton is not thief. If he is treated as
he deserves, and, as I believe, he will
be, he will accept that position at a
great personal and pecuniary sacri-
fce."
Senator Dorsey is very different
man from Mr.. New. He is more
phlegmatic, more conservative, and
less inclined to speak. After his
Indiana campaign work, his health
was pretty we'll broken up. He ran out
West, where he has an enormous
rancho, stocked with horses, cattle,
chickens and hogs. A few weeks
rest and rural contemplation recu :

to the effect that the third Congress
sional district of that State received
from the public treasury more than
the amount of taxes which had gone
into the treasury from the whole
State in five years, and that through
the exertions of Mr.. Kenna a golden
stream had poured into the third
district, refreshing the hearts of
working men and their wives and
children.
Mr.. Kenna enquired if the gentle
man did not wish that somebody
would write that way about him.
In so far as the article read implied
that he had done faithful duty to
his constituents and to every inter
est of the county, it was no more
than just.
Mr.. Cox said he never yielded to
the shrieks of locality. Let the
House call halt and proceed to the
apportionment bill. The amend
ment was rejected by vote of Sc
to 73.
Mr.. Van Voorhis, of New York,
moved to strike out the item of
$4,000 for the Shananoh River.
Rejected.
A large number of amendments,
most of them similar to this, were
offered, but all were either rejected
Or ruled out.
An appropriation for the improve
ment of the Mississippi River having
been read Mr.. Robinson, of Massa>
chusetts, offered an amendment pro-
vieidg that no portion of the money
appropriated for the Mississippi
River shall be used in the repair or
construction of levees for the pur>
pose of preventing injury to lands
by overflow or for any other purpose
whatever except for means of deep
ening and improving the channel of
that river.
Mr. Thomas, of Illinois, offered an
amendment forbidding the use of
any of the money for the purpose of
reclaiming the swamps overfowed or
alluvial lands along the Mississippi
River, but providing that it shall be
confined strictly to improving the
channel of said river.
! Mr.. Gibson, of Louisiana, ex-
pressed mis- desire that the amend
ment of the gentleman from Missis-
sjppi (Mr. Robinson) would prevail.
Mr.. Thomas amendment was re-
iected, and Mr. Robinson's adopted
without division.
Mr.. Marsh offered an amendment
providing that the work of improv-
ing the NJ ssissippi Rever should be
extended from st. Paul to New
Orleans, and striking out the clause
providing that the money should be
expended under the supervision of
the Mississippi River Commission.
Rejected.
The item relative to the MISSISSIPPI
pi River having been passed from a
large number of items followed for
the improvement of small rivers in
Maryland and Virginia.
These items as they were read
were opposed by Mr.. Updegrof, of
Iowa, who made several very brief,
but sarcastic speeches, which were,
however, of no avail as, all his
amendments were rejected.
Mr.. Updegraf warned the Demo-
cratic party, particularly the South
ern section of that party, that it
would be held responsible for the
passage of this bill
The committee then rose and the
House took recess until 1880.

ton of Mr.. Eaton.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, req. lO.
The House met at 10 o'clock in
continuance of Tuesdays session.
The post-ofice appropriation bill,
with Senate amendments, was referred
to the committee on appropriations,
and then at 1915 the House went
into committee of the whole, Mr.
Carlisle of Kentucky in the chair,
on the river and harbor bill.
The pending amendment increas~
ing the appropriation for the i'm
provement of the harbor at Colen-
nent, Illinois, was rejected, Mr.. Van
Voorhis, of New York, W ithdrawing,
at Mr.. Reagan's request. the point
of order that no quorum had voted.
Mr.. Updegraff, of Iowa, offered
an amendment striking out claims
the appropriation of $25,O00 for the
improvement of Monongahela river in
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Rejected; ayes 81, noes los.
Mr. Fort, of Illinois, offered an
amendment providing that the gov
ernment shall regulate the rate to be
charged by the Monongahela Navi-
cation Company over the Monon-
gahela River. Referred.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, offered an
amendment providing that no part of
the money appropriated for the i'm
provement of the Monongahela
River shall be expended until the
Secretary of War shall be satisfied
that no part of the river so improved
is subject to exaction of tolls by any
private corporation for its use He
called attention to the fact that
every amendment offered was voted
down, He had endeavored to do
his duty here on this bill. Other
measures might be lost because he
had been too impulsive or forward
in opposing it. His friend from
West Virginia (Mr. Kenna) did not
understand why he opposed every
appropriation, whether it was for his
Own State or not. He could not
vote Tor them even for his own city or
state, because he knew that they
tended to the corruption of the gov
ernment. His friend from West Vir-
GINA came here because he had been
faithful to his constituents. How
faithful he (Cox) would show.
He sent to the Clerks desk and had
read an editorial article in the
Chicago Tribune of June 80, 1880,
in which Mr.. Kenna is described as a
Representative returned to Congress
in consequence of his gift as a
''grabber" on the river and harbor
appropriation bill.
Mr.. Cox here interrupted the
reading with the remark that he did
not know that word, "grabber" was
was used, and that he withdrew that
word.
The article went on to quote from

A LULL IN THE STORM.
The New York Friends Of the
President and the Opposition
Alike Confident

ALBANY, N. Y, May 24.-Vice-.
President Arthur and ex-Senators
Conkling and Platt are expected here
on The train which leaves New York
at 10 80 o'clock this morning. It is
reported that ConkliDg will make q
public address.
1t is now stated on good author
ity that it was one of the conditions
of Conkling's coming here that no
public demonstration should be
made, therefore it is said that unless
compelled by public demand he will
make no speech. The situation on
the Senatorial question remains
unchanged. The Garfield section
still maintain their position of
refusing to enter caucus
and be bound by it's decision, and
they claim to number more than
sufficient to defeat the election of
Conkling and Platt. The Conkling
section says that If the Senate eau
Gus committee refuse joint in call
ing a joint caucus they will get the
signatures of a majority of the Re~
publican members and thus force a
caucus. Still the Garfield men
say they will not be gov
erned by such proceedings,
and if they hold fast to their
position. There is no way to pre-
vent deadlock. Some of the Gar-
field members, among them Mr..
Alvord, are 50 confident of their
strength that they believe they have
a majority against the reelection of
Conkling and Platt. The Conkling
members laugh at this claim, and say
if Garfeld's supporters really be-
live that they ought not to hesitate
upon entering a caucus. They say
the same claims were made last JAMS
ary, prior to the election of PIatt.
