few lines in regard to matters aod
things an this part of the moral vine
yard, as viewed from the standpoint
of your humble correspondent.
The excitement caused by the late
election is subsiding, and the different
political PARTIES are taking obserwa-
tionS to find out into what Latitude
they have been carried by the late
tidal wave.
Republicans are thoughtful, Dew
ocrats jubilant and Greenbackers--
that's where the laugh comes in.
1t is amusing to notice how .the
Democratic papers all speak of the
election as great Democratic vic
tory. 81 and Peggy killed the bear"

leave the poor Greenbackers out in
cold without so much as civil invi
tatioR to come into the wigwam and
warm themselves.
Nov the Democrats know as well
as any one that of themselves they
were powerless to elect a,governor
or single congressman in the State
of Michigan. The Greenbaokers

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Own Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.
Nov. 28th, 1882.

But few days, full of hustle and
preparation, will intervene before
Congress will again put in an ap-
pearance at the Capitol of the ma
tion for the winters work, or trifling.
Shall it be judicious and popular
work that will commend a Republi-
can body and shame, by contrast, the
Democratic House that is to come af-
ter? or will it be fate that the Democra.
cy by pursuit of their favorite tactics
of obstruction and filibustering, will
cause the short session to be spent to
little profit to the country, or glory to
the Republican party. The country
knows too well the nature and mean
instinct of the Democracy for all
works of obstruction to hope that
they will refrain from it, the coming
winter, when to practice it will throw
obloquy on the Republican party, al
lowing little or nothing to be done,
and SO leave the country, as they
fondly hope, clamorous for "reform."
And it it is altogether likely that
whatever is done in the way of pro-
gress, and Of good to the country,
must be done by the Republicans, as
1t has been done in the past for the
last quarter Of a century in the face
Of the opposition of the Democratic
party.

The SUNDAY LAW DECLARED Warm
The Sunday law came before Judge

The subject was argued at length by
Messrs. George, Anders and Isham.
opposition to the law, and Messrs.
'oinpson and Prosecuting ttor.
"'y Allen IN its support. The Union's
report says that number OF au-
tAorities were cited by the opponents
of the law, with the intent of show
ing that, first, the act was in conflict
with the organic law of the Territory.
because two objects were expressed
IN the title; second, that the law
granted special privileges. A mass
OF authorities were cited by tho Other
side, to show that in all the other
States of the Union. Sunday laws
had been enacted and held TO be
good. AT the close of the argument
Judge Vineyard announced in sub
stance that he did not consider the
act as embracing two objects, or
granting especial privileges. That
while he considered the act based
solely upon sectarian ideas, and
therefore grossly unconstitutional,
he did rot feel like setting up his
opinion and edict against all the
courts in the land, from the Supreme
Court of the United States down,
and he would therefore refuse the
relief asked for, and dismiss the
writ. 1t strikes US as very queer
manner of stating an opinion to say
the least, but as the law is sustained,
more of its advocates will feel dis
posed to find fault with the Judges

result. 1t will doubtless be the
more readily accepted in certain
quarters from the fact that q de-
