Congress will no sooner adjourn than
heated discussion will begin in the
newspapers as to the responsibility of it.
When the Forty-seventh Congress as
sembled the Senate stood 81 Repubh-
cans, 81 Democrats, and Senator Ma
hone, Readjuster, and David Davis, In
dependent. In other words, it was a
tie, with Davis and Malone holding the
balance of power. Taking advantage of
Some Republican absentees one day at
the commencement of the session, the
Democrats elected Mr.. Bayard, of Della
ware, President pro tenn. of the Senate,
thus placing him in the direct line of
Succession to the White House in case
of President Arthur's death. The ability
to do such a thing really looked "to a
man up tree" as if the Democrats had
some power and responsibility in the
Senate. To make President or to
place man in the official position where
he is liable to become the chief execu-
tive officer of the Nation, by the progress
OF events, seems to indicate that those
who are able to do it should not now
plead the baby act.
But the best-laid plans of the politi-
clans often miscarry, and when the alb
sent Senators returned, it was proposed
that David Davis be elected President
pro tenn of the Senate; whereupon Mr..
Bayard stepped down and out; probably
repeating to himself 81 was so soon
done for that wonder what l was begun
for" However, Senator Bayard made
very respectable presiding officer the
few hours he was permitted to occupy
the chair, but the Republicans went on
by the aid of Davis and Malone and Or
ganized the standing committees of the
Senate.
The political situation in the House
was almost identical with that of the
Senate, but not quite. The House stood

POLITICAL POINTS.

Ex-senator Dorsey authorizes the
statement that General Garfield rendered him
the position of Secretary of the Interior, and
repeated the offer several times. Mr.. Dorsey
says he declined it both verbally and in writing.

If the Democrats had secured the sup
port of all the members who were not
classified as Republicans, they would
have elected the Speaker and organized
the standing committees of the House at
the commencement of the present
session. Indeed, the parties were so
evenly divided, and the attitude OF the
Greenbac9ers so uncertain, that the
Democrats were encouraged to believe
that, with the aid of the old Democratic
Chief Clerk, they might be able to con-
troll the organization. But the result
was that the Democrats and the other
elements of opposition failed to make
the usual alliance, and the control OF the
House passed into the hands Of the Re-
publicans, but by majority SO small
that it was often easily destroyed by
sickness or absenteeiSm. For days to-
gether the Democratic minority has had
the practical control of the House, and,
by refusing to vote, could easily break
the quorum and defeat the passage of
any measure, no matter how important
it was. And this obstructive power
they invoked whenever the opportunity
to do harm presented itself. Thus the
Republicans are made responsible for
the evils which have been inflicted upon
the country by the Democratic minority
in Congress.
We have shown that the Senate is re-
ally tie, and that the Republicans only
succeeded in defeating the Democrats in
the election of President pro tenn. by
voting for David Davis, an Independent.
1t was victory that was first cousin to
q defeat. In the House similar uncer-
tainty existed until it was known what
course the Greenbackers would adopt.
II they had united with the Democrats,
as they had in previous Congresses, this
would have been called Democratic
Congress, and Joe Blackburn or Bill
Springer, instead of Gen. Keifer,
would have welded the Speakers gavel.
We wish to particularly emphasize this
fact, in order that the people may thor
oughly understand, clearly and distinct
ly, Just where the responsibility rests,
and why it is that the first session of the
Forty-seventh Congress has been able to
accomplish so little practical and useful
legislation. The Democrats in Congress
are like so many burglars, who, after
robbing a house and setting fire to it and
running off by the light, are now com
planning of the neighbors, who vainly
tried to extinguish the flames.
The New York World, the leading
Democratic organ in the United States,
has the cheek to say, speaking of the
River and Harbor biz, that lit was
brought before the House as a party
measure and PASSED as party measure.
This is the kind of shallow falsehood
that is easily exploded by Analysing the
vote by which the report of the confer
ence committee on the bill was adopted,
and by the vote it obtained in both
houses over the Presidents veto. Re
publicans will do well to fix these fig
ures in their minds, as they furnish
perfect answer to all charges made by
the Democrats that the Republicans are
solely responsible for the passage of the
act. In the House the vote on passing
the bill over the Presidents veto stood,
politically, as follows:

A Hard Headed "Grey 4"

An unsophisticated country youth came
TO town Yesterday and stopped at Bonner
restaurant He proceeded 10 take i'm the
sights" and continued his sightseeing to
such late hour that when he returned TO
his boarding house he found himself locked
out. He was permitted by the police To
sleep on bench i'm front Of the restaurant,
but when officer Barnett attempted To
awaken him al daylight this morning, he
did not seem inclined 10 get up, AMI il IT.
quired some rough handling by the officer
10 dislodge him from his roOsting place.
This rough handling enraged the young
man from the rural districts, and he got
up and made lunge at the officer with a
knife. The officer reteated with ringing
blow on the young mau's head with
his billy, but the aforesaid head seemed
impervious TO any injury that could be
inflicted with club, and even after the
third knock down he came up IN good
shape.
Barnett finally began to get tired ::of
this kind of business, and drawing his gun
ordered the fellow To surrender. The
sight of the revolver scared the grey"
ing calm, explained that he did not know
he was fooling with an officer, but thought
it was some fellow trying to rob him.
After disarming him OF his knife he let
him 60.
Subsequently the same yerlant youth
encountered Officer Barnett on the street,
and accosting him. said, Hello, Mr.. Mar
shall, who is that other marsh al
with star on about twice
as big As yours, young. smooth
faced fellow, not much more than kid"
Il don't know" replied Barnett, why ?"
well, he injured me this morning" and
he proceeded to detail the whole story,
much To Barnett's amusement. The young
man concluded by saving that the officer
who dubbed him had no letters on the big
star he wore and he believed him 10 he a
fraud. Doubtless he saw a myriad of
stars when Barnett's "bilIy" came in con-
tact with his frontispiece.

deem it a special favor if the Republican
can beat the Review out of its Jumbo"
