Samuel Waking Tn.

Messrs Tilden, Bayard, Seymour Han
cock, Randall, Hendricks, Trumbull, and
other and lesser Democratic lights at
tended or wrote letters to the Iroquois
Club Mt Chicago on Wednesday, on the
occasion of the banquet given in honor Of
the anniversary of the birthday of An
drew jackson. General Jackson will be
remembered the coercionist who was
on the point of hanging certain Demo-
Gratis of the Calhoun persuasion about
fifty years ago. lie was then President,
and has been voted for at every election
since. His birthday was as good a one
as any other for the sachems of the Iro-
quois TO greet the familiar names above
mentioned. The writer's and speakers
were all very eloquent, and very
trcmulous lest they might not be
loved where most they wished. The
next presidential nomination is the Bun
thorne around which, like twenty love.
sick maidens, they languish.
Twenty years hence we shall DO
Twenty loye.slck moidens still.
The letter of Samuel ]. Tildcn con.
tains few phrases worth noticing. Fol
example, he said of Jackson: He rep
resented the eXultant nationality Of senti
mem which had always characterized the
Democracy" If it had not been for the
unpleasantness" and the "Solid
South" sectionalism Mr.. Tilden would
have substituted "has" for chad" He
concludes us follows:
The Government can never be restored and re-
formed except from the inside, and by the active
intelligent agency Of the Executive We mus
hope that Providence in its own good time vii
raise mp a man adapted and qualified for the wis
execution ofthis great work, and that the peop
will put him in possession of the executive ad
ministration, through which alone that noble mis-
sion can be accomplished and the health AM
life of our political system be preserved and rein
vigor0tcd.
What man would the dear old fox hav

so the fact can be proven. 1t is to be
hoped that the New York Tribune, which
is so anxious TO vindicate General Gar
field against all assailants, will induce
MIR Blaine to call for the authors name
and to publish it. Or the Philadelphia
Press might get Wayne MacVeagh to ask
for it. Or the Ohio papers could all
unite in request TO John Sherman
TO demand the vilifor's name.
Or Carl Schurz, of the New York EUcning
Post; George w. Curtis, of the Hnrpcr's
Weekly, or Ellis IL. Roberts, of the Utica
Herald, could call on Mr.. James TO come
TO the rescue of his dead patrons cause.
Or right here in Washington the leading
friends Of General Garfield might pre-
vail upon Secretary Kirkwood or Hunt or
Lincoln to ask Mr.. lIutchins for the
name Of the man whose letter has 80
deeply wounded the public sensibilities.
Thisis fair We ask. The Cabinet friends
of Garfield can unlock the secret If they
do il they will deprive the Tribune and
kindred papers of the luxury of charg-
ing it upon all who opposed Garfield at
Chicago.

ARTHUR AND CoNKLrNG.

The faCtional Republican press of the country
has hardly been able to regain its accustomed
equanimity since Roscoe Conkliug refused to COM
nit high treason in his letter to the President de-
cining the position of Associate Justice of the Su
preme Court of the United States. The first effort
required on the part Of the conductors Of these
organs was to understand that anybody could de-
cline anything. This was scarcely mustered until
they began to wonder how any man, especially
Mr.. Conkling, could decline anything without in
sulting the man who had offered him the compi-
mcut of such place without consultation. Hence
the demand was echoed and re-echoed all along
the line for the publication OF this correspondence,
when Il was found to be the mildes most kindly
hammered note which had passed between the
gentlemen IN many day. When the Half Breed
press comes to the recognition of the fact that men
In politics do sometimes manifest the character
istics of showing themselves true gentlemen its
editors will have mastered an elemental precept
which comes instinctively 10 most men of the
ability to occupy positions on newspapers. 1t is
however, unnecessary to add that when this time
comes the New York Tribune will have changed
editors VdshinGtoa Post.

Mahone's Tobacco Tax Resolution.

Senator Malone has introduced con-
current resolution in the Senate provid-
ing that in the event of any reduction in
the tax on tobacco manufactured in the
United States a rebate equal to such re-
duction shall be granted on all stamped
or tax-paid tobacco manufactured in the
United States after the adoption of the
resolution and between such date and the
time when any law making such reduc-
tion shall go into effect then remaining
in the hands of the licensed dealers or
other than manufacturers.
The Senator's Objects to save the great
tobacco interest in his State from the
panic and consequent paralysis TO which
it is annually subjected. lie simply pro-
poses that Congress shall now declare that
any reduction in the tobacco tax which it
may make shall be retroactive, taking
effect from the date Of the proposed dec
laration. Also that the owners Of the
tobacco shall derive the benefit Of the
drawback, whether they be manulac-
turers or purchasers. The proposition
seems a fair one, and simply insures the
dealers against the uncertainties of legis-
lation.

the name Of the writer whenever Nny member Of
President Garheld's Cabinet calls for It, Washing
ton Post.
The above refers to the writer Of the
letter signed Justice" attacking the
late President recently published in the
Post, and republished in such papers as
the New York Tribune and the Proyi-
dence Press. 1t is the Indian mode of
warfare TO hold a whole community re-
sponsible for the act Of one unknown
man. and the Modocs Of the Tribune are
entirely at home in such fighting. We
do not believe any SAIwart wrote the
letter The Tribune charges it upon all
who opposed Garfield at Chicago,
The Post offers to give the
name upon request Of either Of
the gentlemen who composed President
Garfeld's Cabinet. That is fair. The
letter was doubtless written by Il mean

The Railroads and the pCoDle,

The railroad lobby is here in full force.
They are pressing tho House Commerce
Committee against the Reagan bill with
much vehemence. They are also putting
on the brakes against the inquiry as TO
the unearned land grants. 1t is soon to
be demonstrated how many friends they
can muster in Congress to prevent the
restoration to the public domain
of 80 much of the liberal land
grants made to them in years past
as have been clearly forfeited by
non-perrormance of the conditions
accompanying the grants. The Depart
ment of the Interior has maintained
that however clear the delinquency of
the railroad corporations in the construc-
ton of railroads, to aid which the grants
were made, no lands could thereby be
forfeited except by act of Congress. 1t
only remains for Congress to act. Let
the railroads have their rights and moth
ing more. Render unto Caesar only the
things that are Cesars.

IT is plain to be seen that the atmos-
phere of the House is very excitable
The heated discussion on Wednesday
over trivial point of order was very
unwholesome. The desire of Mr.. Money
to say something on the bill so impor-
tant to his constituents was natural, and
if he was q little testy in his complaints
against Mr. Hiscocl for not giving him
time it was not such dangerous or revo-
lutionary proceeding as to require extraor-
dinary remedies. Then the Speakers
use of the word reprimand," as applied
to his power to preserve order, while it
may have been unfortunate, did not
carry with it any such claim on his part
rs was suggested-via., that he
was usurping the power of the House to
reprimand members. He said he could
not rcprimand rs a penalty, but he could
insist that members cease violation of
the rules. The Speaker can certainly tell
member he is violating the rules or
that he is disordcrly. lie may tell him
to take his seat, and may even order him
under arrest for excessive turbulence
In either case member might feel re-
buked or rcprimanded, although the
latter word il not generally used in that
connection. Grown men should try to
be cool and patient where boys would be
heated and quarelsome. This is not II
reprimand.
The report of the Senate committee to
investigate the Treasury contingent fund
contains nothing which had not been al
ready made public, some Of it in an ex-
aggerated form. The report shows small
dishonest practices in the use of Govern
mont property and calls for legislation TO
make such practices more difficult None
will doubt the positive testimony of John
Sherman that he knew nothing of the
paltry methods of his silly friends, by
which the Government was made to pay
his electionoering expenses. His denial
was hardly necessary.
