The deadlock in the senate was, TO
all outward appearances, on Monday,
as firm as ever, but in specially well in
formed circles an impression is gaming
ground that it will be broken towards
the end of the present week or at all
events during next week, by some con-
cession On the part of the republicans.
either open or indirect, such as allowing
a few executive sessions to be held for
the transaction of uncontested business,
or providing that the officers to be cleo
ted shall not enter upon the perform
ance of their duties until December.
The former temporizing course, if adop-
ted, would undoubtedly result in al
informal postponement of the whole
matter of electing officers to next SEES
sion. for it will be extremely difficult to
array the republicans In a solid phalanx
again on this question, if their line be
once broken, it would be next to an i'm
possibility to hold a quorum of the
senate in Washington, after the bulk Of
nominations are confirmed, III less it be
tacitly understood that the contest over
officers, if not previously settled, shall
then be laid aside, in order to. finish the
executive business for which the session
was called.
1t is rumored that certain conserva-
tive republican senators are so DESTROYS
of breaking the deadlock that they
counsel the breaking of the arrangement
with Malone, and substitute some
straight out republican for Riddleber-
ger on the of list caucus nominees, but
this report cannot be traced to any
substantial foundation ,andin view Of the
important bearing Riddleberger's can
didacy has upon the Virginia coalition
movement, it is extremely improbable
that any such suggestion will be
adopted.

THE washington Eyenino Sta,

THE Washington Evening Star OF
April IL, publishes a letter from a
South Carolina republican, correcting
the widely published story that ex-
Congressman Rainey (colored) is at
work as a common laborer in the streets
Of Charleston. Rainey, who is a man
Of fine education, has not been in South
Caronina since last fall, and while there
he was engaged in attending to his
oficial duties as special agent of the
treasury department. He is now SINH
larly occupied in New England. The
Stars correspondent adds. the dispatch,
no doubt, refers to ex-Lieut. Governor
Ransier, who was a member of the AID
congress, from Charleston district. AT
ter being defeated for every office in
the republican party for which he came
up, from the lieutenant governorship to
that OF contractor for chimney sweep
ings in the city Of Charleston, Rensier
threw his fortunes in with the demo-
cratic party and supported the "Hamp-
ton and home-rule ticket- in 1876.
This is his reward. He has been ap-
pointed by the democratic administra-
ton of Charleston to a position Of
common laborer upon the public streets.
and daily may be seen plying that
humble avocation.
Another story which has obtained
extensive eirc llation. is ti.at the
widow of Joun Brown, of Harper,s
Ferry fame, was last week a seeker for
assistance atthe Executive Mansion, has
been set at rest by the discovery that
the Mrs. Brown in question is the
widow Of Mr.. John P. Brown, who is
not known to be a martyr or anything
else in particular, except a government
interpreter in some western region not
yet specified.

SENATOR DAVID DAVIS has written
a letter to John Martin. OF Kansas, on
the present political situation, having
reference to the senate deadlock. Davis
says that both parties are controlled by
the monopolists, and neither can assert
its will or that of its constituents. The
only solution of the political difficulties
is in the reorganization of the parties.
Davis says IL the democratic party
would disband, the republican party
would fall to pieces, because it is only
kept together by federal patronage and
by the agitation Of sectional questions.

for Its object an inquiry Into the neces.
stiles Of the service with a view of

clerical force Of the department, and
recommend for dismissal incompetent
officials, and Strengthening of the
force by increasing it il needed. In
short the duty Of the commission is to
examine infinitely into all the branches

The United states Considered n Penal
Colony.

Colony.
The prompt return of the two women
to Bottstein creates considerable COM
ment in the Swiss press. The Notnel-
liste Vdudois, of Laussane, laughs at the
city fathers of Bottstein and wishes
them JOY at the return of the ladies,
hoping that like wine, their characters
will have been improved by the sea
voyage, taken at the cost Of the COM
mune The Bund, a government paper
published at Berne, condemns the COM
mune's action as rejecting discredit on
the Swiss in America. The Intelligens
Blatt, OF the same city, in announcing
the return Of the women, suggests that
the American government should pros
ecute the commune. A different view
is held, however, by the Journal de
Genere. That paper, which Is one of
the most influential In Switzerland,
treats Of the United states as Europe's
reformatory, and justiHes the ,sending
thither of the Bottstein 1t
compares the United States to the penal
colonies Of Great Britain, and says, ''in
many cases reformation is impossible
at home and a only be attained by
emigration. The English have OBJ
tanned most satisfactory results by de-
%portation, which is, after all, nothing
but forced emigration" The tone of the
article shows that the quick return of
Objectionable emigrants is a wholesome
dose-it is rather a nauseating one.

Republican papers, at least the petty
partizan ones, are loudly bowling because
democratic majority of the Senate saw
fit to elect a-democratic presidentpro tenn.
The occurrence was truly sad one. There
is no doubt that republicans were created
purposely to hold offlce--This is chart
able interpretation-and that any demo-
crat, who, by his vote interiors with this
party privilege, sins against high Heaven.
One of the few points ON which our law
is defective is that it does not provide a
penalty for the crime of voting for demo-
crat when there is an opportunity of vot-
ing for republican. 1t IS hard to inn
agine more reasonable offence than to
support democratic principles is il
we are to believe republican newspapers
and ring politicians--bu strange to say
some of US viii persist in doing so: it is
undoubtedly wrong, but we cannot help
it. These democratic Senators are men of
strange ideas. They cannot see how q
Senator can be sworn in before the body
is organized. They are unable to per
ceive how the Senate can be organized
without presiding officer; and they; hav-
ing majority, are so lar lost to all sense
OF the utter treason of the act, as to elect
ono Of that majority. 1t rms wrong, nay
criminal and with tears we acknowledge

The ARGUS has several times stated thai
Tammany Hall is in truth a republican or
ganization. That its influence has been
as often turned in the favor of republican
candidates as democratic ones. That il
would support one partly as quickly as
another il in that support it saw chance
of benefiting itself That it was republi-
can political machine. The proof of these
assertions is contained in recent inter
view of reporter with Col Bliss, prom
inert New York republican and personal
and political friend of President Arthur.
The interview was as follows:
You say that there has been deals with
the democrats heretofore by which the
republican vote has been increasedf'
Yes, that is just what say. ! should
know something on this topic because I
made one of the deals myself That was
some few years ago. however"

With the Tammany Boss himself that

What were the particulars of the deal.

1T was the year that Cornell was run

of course did not care anything for Robin

both agreed to trade votes in this city.

Malone told the Union League club the
other night that the education of the
poor and lowly, and the protection of the
freedman protection from poll tax
form the issue in Virginia; the reputation
of the State debt he keeps in the back
ground while north. The New York
World in referring to it remarks:
while the republicans of Minnesota
nominated a Repudiationist ticket and
ignored the railroad bond question in their
platform, possibly with view to avoid
Offending Malone and his friends of the
Union League Club, the democrats have
pronounced unequivocally against repudi-
alton and in favor of the payment of the
bonds and have emphasized the declara
ton by recommending the voters to sup
port the present Supreme Court Judges,
including Judge Clark. defeated in the re-
publican convention for the offense of
honesty. North and South the democrats
oppose reputation and repudiationists;
North and South republicans support both.
Perhaps Judge Davis will deign to inform
us whether the education of the poor and
lowly and the protection of the freedmen
form the issue of paramount Importance in
Minnesota as well as in Virginia?'

it. Republican papers that are of promi.
nenee in their party, papers which haxe
opinions and express them. are guiltg %
the hefnous crime of statIng
mat republicans would have done
the same thing if they had
chance. Harper's Weekly was culpable
enough to make this assertion, and the
Philadelphia Times says the same. 1t is
hard to believe that republicans would do
such thing, thing which they are so
heartily condemnng now, but there is q
chance that these papers may be right. We
would be sorry to believe that these allie
cations could be true. Having always
been taught that a republican politician
was of that immaculate purity of heart and
way of wings was needed to make full
fledged angel, 1t seems hard to believe that
they could be guilty of anything of SO
atrocious a character as the deed that
democrats have lately done.
But as the papers, that say that under
the same circumstances republicans would
10 the same, and that the democrats were
right in what they have done, are the ones
who have high standing in the party. while
the ones who proffers so much virtue, and
feel so much indignation are insignificant
and wholly partisan, there must be some
thing of truth in the assertion.
