MR. JOHN S. WISE, in the current num-
Der of the North 4mtrican RerielU, takes
pronounced States' rights ground, by deny
ing the jurisdiction Of u S. courts in the
matter of prohibiting States from passing
laws that will impair the obligation Of pecu-
MARY contracts. And yet this same Mr..
Wise, at this very time, is assisting the fed
eral government, TO the utmost extent of
his power, to destroy States rights by
usurping authority prohibited by the Con-
stitution, and by interfering in matters over
which the States alone have control.

WASHINGTON, ID. g., Feb. IS, 1884.
Mr. Barnaby, member of the national
democratic committee and large cotton
manufacturer of Providence, Rhode Island,
appeared before the House Ways and
Means committee this morning and argued
for the protection Of cotton manufacturers
stating that unless such protection was con.
tinued he would have 10 close his factory
His argument did not seem to be very ef-
fective, at least with the chairman, who
said that he thought about fifty five millions
Of the people ofthe country thought the du-
ty on cotton goods should be reduced.

In the Senate to-day Mr.. Riddeberger
introduced bill for the relief of Edwin b.
Hay.
Intelligence here to-day from the South
is to the effect that the Logan boom in Vir-
gnia and North and South Carolina is on
the increase, and is spreading to other
parts of the South The President
is becoming a little uneasy at the
swelling of this boom, and Mr.. J. D.
Warren, leading republican of New
York, 10 here, it is said, for the pur.
pose of bringing about satisfactory agree
ment between the Presidentaad the opposing
factious of his party in his own State AS an
evidence of Logan's desire to make friends
it is mentioned that he has recently earn
estly recommended pension agent who is
under indictment for fraud, and that the
agent referred to with this recommendation
went to the department and demanded that
the papers upon which he was indicted be
withdrawn from the office ofthe District At
torney and returned to him,
Mr. Charles A. Dana, editor Of the New
York SIM, who has not been here before for
ten years, and who is under indictment here
for libel, is now in the city, and was present
at the dinner given BY Representative Bel
mont TO Senator.elect Blackb burn. He is
here to advise the democrats to let the tariff
severely alone, but his advice, it is said,
will not be needed.

ing to the pension roll the names of per-
SONS dropped therefrom on account of the
civil war Well, why shouldn't it be pass
ed? The service for which the pension was
given was rendered before the war, its eff.
fects still enure to the benefit Of the coun-
try, aud what was done by the dropped
pensioners during the war referred to did
not in the least diminish the value of that
service The work was done for which the
pension was the recompense; and the re-
fusal to pay it is very much like the repu
diation Of Just debt.

the support Of all ''who favor free educa

GENERAL MAHoNE's home organ wants
to know how n "man can be good demo-
crat and at the same time be free-trader?''
How a good democrat could be any thing
else than free-trader? would be question
that would evince better knowledge of the
cardinal principles of the democratic party.

THE MAHoNEITEs denounce the demo-
Gratis for gerrymandering the State, and yet
claim four, and say they will probably carry
two more, of the ten districts. Could any
party having the power to redistrlct the
State been more liberal? Aud does not the
non partisanism thus exhibited by the dem
ocrats deserve the praise rather than Tue
censure Of their opponents?

SENATOR SHERMAN, at General Mahones
reumest, is now attempting to make the peo-
Me of the North believe that the merchants,
doctors, lawyers, editors, manufacturers,
AID mechanics of DanvlIe, the most i'll
fiueptial men of the city, deliberately enter
ed iuto conspiracy, in which they sue
ceedsd TO marder poor, ignorant, unarmed
and fleeing negroes, for the purpose of in
tindating other negroes from voting two
DAYS a!t.rward, and that, too, at county
election, and in a county in which the
whites had large majority. Why General
Mahoue's own home organ, two days after
the riot, and when it supposed that the
Mahuneites would carry the State, and even
Pittsylvaul, and that the democrats in the
latter might make the riot the ground of
contest ia case of dcfoat in that county, said:
"Weare glad To know that the airay had no
connection with politics, but grew out of All
accidental rcncountre or collision between
q white man and colored man on the
sidewalk" That statement of the cause OF
the riot was true 10 the letter. Why the
whole attempt is so absurd that Mr.. Sher-
man rhinoceros hided rs he is, ought to be
ashamed of the ridiculous part he is playing.
