IT is rumored that the Democracy of a section of the Territory IS to take up cudgels in favor of resigned Federal official. If there is any truth in the report, the Democrats who use the cudgels will do we'll to beat their own political brains out, before the party accomplishes that very meri- torious action for them. It is some- what cheeky of couple of lawyers to imagine that because they have lost desirable part of their practice the fact should be made political issue.

JUDGING from the railroad speech of last year, and Dibble's school-boy parody on good taste and com mon sense, of this, it would seem as thovH the Fourth of July, in TombAlBne, is put to use merely as a whetstone upon which to sharpen pri- vate and political axes. There can be nothing in worse form, than such insults to the intelligence of a people whose sense of the fitness of things can but repudiate partisan appropri- ation of ceremonies belonging solely to the patriotism of all American citi- zens, irrespective of political or per sonal affiliations. Democrats and Republicans alike condemn the bad taste that conceived the subject mat ter of Dibble's so.called oration.

MnshingtOn Notes.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-In the House, Taylor, of Ohio, asked leave to put upon passage bill for the relief of Lucretia R. Garfield, but as it would give rise to debate, Hiscock objected, and the House then went into Committee on the whole.
 CHICAGO, July ,.-The Times Washington special says: Senator Kellogg received bill to-day from a member of the Louisiana Legisla. ture, of an extraordinary character It appears that the Republicans have two Congressional districts in the State, and expect with the ald of the In dependents to capture two more this year. The bill in question so puts the power of manipulating elections in the hands of the doml. nant party, that it is not very clear how a single Republican vote in the State can be counted hereafter.
 The announcement that Corbin i; to be transferred from Washington to Arizona causes some unfavorable comment Corbin having been s close friend of Garfield, it looks d: though it was an effort to get hi: friends out of the way.
 In the contested election cases 1T the House before adjournment, 1t k scarcely probable to be able to get ! quorum. Out of twenty. two con tested election cases in the House six remain.

WE have hitherto had an abiding faith in the political judgment of H. c. Dibble, Republican aspirant for Congress. Since the oration we are forced to admit that he would not make successful leader of even ward faction. He IS like a man with a passion for writing his name in places of general resort, de- stroying the harmony of natural sur roundings, and inviting the ridicule of every passing wit.
