What ar ant mons ms . this is. As
a matter of fact President Cleveland
receives LEG votes from .-uyal States
as the Republican organs calls I en-,
and lis votes from States which Sc
cecded from the Union. Neither
Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland nor
Delaware was a secession State, and
with New York, New Jersey, Con
necticut and Indiana they give log
electoral Votes to Cleveland.
In addition to these eloval States
Wisconsin which gave Garfield close
upon 10000 majority, was carried by
Blaine by a plurality OF 1000; Mich
igan, which gave Garfield nearly 81,
Don, gave Blaine Il meagre 2.a30, and
Iowa which rolled up over rs, 900 for
Garfield, cut Blaine down to 5000.

JEFF. Davis has written and pub
lished a letter in which he replies to
the statements regarding him made
by General Sherman during his adj
dress to the Frank Blair Post, G.. A.
R. a few days before the election. He
denounced the allegation that he
ever was a conspira:or, or that he
ever wrote a letter which showed he
was scheming for the dictatorship of
the country. He calls General Sher-
man a liar, in saying that he (Daris)
wished to destroy the lIberties or
rights of States. He concludes by
throwing down the glove in the fol
lowing manner to the eX general. of
the army. "If General Sherman has
access to any letters written by me
that will sustain his accusations, let
him produce them or wear the brand
of a base slanderer." General Sher
man promises TO make il interesting
for jeff. before he gets through with
him.

1t is the lasting stain and disgrace
upon our great Republic that two OF
our Presidents were assassinairtf l,y
infamous ''cramks." The weak-brain-

TO believe that President Garfield
was impcriliny the Republican party

For this reason the assassin 'removel"

desperate Mr.. Blaine aud his detected

idiot mind that The assassination OF
Mr.. Cleveland is necessary to the pre-

sents means the destruction of The Re-

reports a falling off of $40. 767,7i in

LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Del
DEG 6 1884

-
Although 135 members of the
present Congress were relegated to
private life in the late election, they
came up smiling as usual last Mon
day, and really seemed pleased at
the prospect of getting rid of the
thankless work of a Congressman,
who has never a moments time that
he may call his own. / might say
however, that there were a few ex
Iceptions to tue number who sought
to put themselves in a happy frame
of mind, among whom were the two
buffoons ofthe House, Herr, of Michi-
gan, and Bedford, of colorado, whose
antics en- the floor have Disguised
their constituents enough to COM
pletely secure a permanent backset.
The humor that used to bring down
the House when Prent;ss and Ran
do'ph were members. was of n sort
That never d~etracted from the dign;
ty of the body, and it is to the credit
of our American Parliament that we
have had q few members who have
I pOSSCoSCu lllC aiiCStiob vi III MINI
of humor. The frequent sallies OF
wit that came from Mr.. Cox, of New
York in the way of repartee, having
won for him deserved recognition as
a true humorist without derogating
an iota from his ability as a states
man.
We lave had not a few of really
eccentric men as the representatives
of the people in both Senate and
House. There was Morrissey. of
New York. whose ambition was that
his children might say that their
father had been a Congressman as
well as a prize fighter. And there
was Foley, of Indiana. whose litter
acy was excused by himself by de
claring that be spelled God with a
little "g" because he would not at
tempt to make capital out of his
Creator, and who accused Horace
Greedy of "mucilating" his CORES
pondence with the great Tribune
editor. The granite boulders in the
Congressional Cemetery here, mem
o~ralize the departure from this
sphere ofmany members of the lower
House who were scarcely up to the
measure of Morrissey Or Foley in
point of solid sense aad Legislative
ability. Laok at the Congressional
stubble that have been sent here
from the West since the close of the
war, and you will see the natural
outcome in the abominablc legisla-
lion that disgraces The statute books
and u civilization.
Well, we have twenty-four thou
sand soldiers in the United States
Army, and the Secretary of War
wants almost twenty seven million
dollars 20 support them for a single
year! Is not this rather an expen-
siye family for SO small IL one? Let
us see. This would make the cost for
the maintenance of each soldier for a
year one thousand one hundred and
twerty five dollars, although we pay
him but thirteen dollars per month
and feed him on hard tack and sow
belly. One of the first things that a
Reform Democratic Congress should
do, is already embraced in a bill to
wipe out these sineeure military es,
Establishments, and stop the payment
of seventeen thousand dollars per
year to a satrap whose duties eau as
we'll be performed by q subaltern.

"Tile rejoicing over the result of tho

that no immediate practical benefit is

two important results will be made

that the North will be made aware

critic President for whose election the
South has been '.soliI," AMI yet The
latter docs not expect The Confederate

debt to be pail as q COOL many OF our
tiaid Northern Republican brethren
have been led to believe. Besides,
the freedom of opinion and political
action will be unlimited untlera Dem

upon which the people congratulate
