WAsuNGroS, d. O., March Is, 1881.
To day sees the Senate pass from
Democrats control, and the orgaui-
cation Of the House, whenever that
may occur will undoubtedly be in the
interest Of another party. The SUI
prcme Court is Republican too In
short there IL no part Of the Govern
ment which is Democratic. do not
hold this to be OF such Importance
to-day, however, as ii was few years
since The questions which people
are discussing now are not those oil
1865, 1865 or 1872 The President
Of 1881 Is no, the lawiess soldier OF
any Of those years. If Garfield shall
have the drmness TO resist the radical
demand for an extra session of Con
gress-and I believe he will shall
think that half that Democrats have
fought for has been won. Cool re-
Election for the next few years will
satisfy the people that sucl is the
fact, and bring about o RESTORATION
Of conadenoein the Democratic party
Nothing is truer and nothing will
be palmer 10 people in the early
future, than that everything proposed
by a Democratic Congress since Con
gress became Democratic, has been
exactly IN the line Of q restored and
harmonious Union, and therefore has
tended TO The strengthening Of public
credit the increase 40 confidence
among the peope, and generally to
the good OF the county
The means by which The Senate has
been made Republican will helm the
Democracy, too, hereafter. Clear
bargain and sale Of Senatcrs has
never been popular, and never can be
made so, and there certainly never
was a palmer case Of the kind than
that by which 5 natOr Malone. OF
Virginia, was transferred from. the
Conservative TO the Republican party

is no small thing in ITSELF nor will It

to but one side Of a case, and who
takes his opinion Of the opposition
from what is said in debate In House
and Senate, as Mr.. Hayes was com-
PEELED to do, will inevitably have mar

President Garfield has already shown
that in this respect he knows nothing

Fireman's Ball.

The Custer City firemcn are to give
a dance and oyster supper next WeG-
nesday night. The dance will be at the
Crook Street hall, to which all are ill.,
vitcd. They propose to hire n room,
probably the dining room Of the Occi-
dental hotel, where oysters will be serv,
ed from half past seven till rs late as
any one wants to eat. The boys desire
to get up a fund sufficient To buy a lo;
and erect a building for their hook and
ladder truck, and in it fit up a reading
and assembly room. The object is Il most
worthy one and should be encouraged
in every way possible by the people OF
Custer. Our firemen have had but little
aid thus far, and as they number in
their company most Of Il young men,
it will be readily seen that the object
they have in view, namely a reading
room, is the very thing that will con
duce most TO their mental and moral
improvement.
