Republican Ex-Confederates to
The Front.

The alliance of the Republicans in
the Senate with Confederate briga-
diers" and repudiators, shows the ut
ter hollowness of their protested fears
at the last Presidential campaign
that the "unrepentant rebel" Demo-
Gratis of the south would get possess
ion Of the government, pay the rebel
debt, pension confederate soldiers,
and do and perform d great many
other atrocious acts. The Boston
Herald in commenting upon this Re-
publican change Of front, scathingly
remarks:
And yet it was only six months
ago that the stalwart leaders were at
tempting to make the people, believe
that the "nnrepentant rebels" medi-
tated seizure Of the government,
payment Of the "rebel claims" and
no end Of diabolical mischief. Has
anybody "repented" since then? Not
SO far as heard from, unless it be some
of the Virginia Democrats, who aided
in sending 10 the Senate a man who
fought for "the principles for which
Lee and Jackson died." and now sus.
tains a financial policy which would
dlshonor the soil they are buried in.
If politics is TO continue to be a mas.
querade, the stalwart chiefs ought, in
common deccncy, to get a new cos
tune before another campaicn.

The following is the opinion of the
New York Times Rep.) upon the
little fellow who is now attempting
tofeadjust his position in the United
States Senate so as to assist in ad.
jasting the position of the Republi.
can minority in that body:
The substance Of the matter, SO far
as Gen, Mahone is concerned, seems
TO be that he is not a repudiator, be,
cause he proposes that the State
should pay part Of its just debts.
Tho refusal TO pay the remainder is
not, be says, Reputation, but read
lnstment. The explanation is feeble,
The J., bill which the Malone party in
Virginia succeeded in passing a year
ago lasfch |, $780, reduces The rec
ognized principal OF the debt to S20,-
900, 600, !. Q, it cuts off half. But it
does cut of that much absolutely,
and, moreover, it reduces the inter.
est TO 70 per cent. makes the bonds
taxable, depriyes the coupons of the
privileges of being received for taxes,
and abolishes the sinking fund pro.
yided by law for the payment of the
debt, In other words, it reduces the
maximum amonntof principal which
IN any event can be got by the cred
itors, and then by an elaborate series
of injurious provisions reduces the
money-value of the obligations which
are acknowledged. In addition to
which it must be remembered that
such trickerY with the credit of the
State in itself depreciates its bonds.
1t is only modest estimate of the
effect intended by this bill that it
cheats the creditor of at least one.
half his due. If this is not repudia
ton, then man is not a thief who
robs you Of one-half the contents of
your pocket-book and leaves you the
other half.

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Apr. /, 1881.
The political situation in the Sen.
ate has become exceedingly interest
ing and critical, and the week has
been characterized by fllibustering
in the interest of executive sessions
on the part of the Democrats, and q
series fadjournments when the en-.
durance of the minority has worn out
the patience of the majority. The
President has given notice, by his
appointments, OF numerous and im'
portant changes affecting large cir
Gle Of Office holders with their fami-
lies and dependents; the Supreme
Court has been prevented more than
once from sitting by lack of u quo
rum; the District of Columbia is
withouta Marshal, and important
treaties are gathering dust on the
shelves.
There were all kinds Of rumors
afoat again yesterday regarding Cab.
met designations; it is still reported
that the complications over at least
one obnoxious nomination are such
that, unless it is withdrawn by the
President, or rejected by the Senate,
the retirement Of one Cabinet official
is inevitable.
The President, from the best au.
thority, is determined to stand by
Robertson's nomination. He declares,
it is stated, that he positively in,
formed Senators Conkling and Platt
of his purpose to select officials from
both wings of the party in New York.
Despite the positive declarations Of
war on the part of the stalwarts,
many believe that they will hesitate
ABOUT making a break with the adj
ministration upon o personal issue
of this kind, and where they are
pretty sure to be defeated. A fight
against Robcrtson's confirmation
will undoubtedly result in tho de-
feat of those who inaugurateit it. The
Democrats will generally, and per-
haps unanimously, vote for confr.
nation, and it is not to be doubted
that, at least, half Of the Republican
Senators will support the admins
tration. Should the commerce com
mittee withhold report, then u mo,
ton to discharge the committee and
to bring the nomination before the
Senate will certainly be made, and
just as certainly DO carried. 1t is
doubtless true that the Democratic
Senators dislike the nomination OF
Mr.. Chandler, on the ground that in
carrying out his idea Of politics he
would resort to all sorts of stalwart
means to make it unpleasant to the
South, but this feeling is not likely
to drive them over to Mr.. Conkling
in his fight against the administra.
ton. In truth, with an equally di.
yided Senate, and out Of Il disposi.
