DEMOCRACY UNDER FIRE.
Republican Leaders and Papers Grow
Very Bitter.

Washington, Sept 25.-The prompt and
decisive action of Speaker Crisp
in his management of the
republican would-be obstructionists,
during the past few days, is bearing fruit
The republican papers are teeming with
abuse of him on account of his course.
They pick him out as a proper target for
denunciation, and they are firing at him
their biggest and most noisy guns.
The New York Press a very bitter par
tisan paper, has a cartoon headed THE
south in the saddle sure enough" Itrep-
resents Speaker Crisp mounted on buck
ing horse overriding ballot-boX on
which is inscribed the words: Honest
ballOt--fair count" The Tammany tiger
is at one side, setting on top of Tammany
hall: on the other side is President Cleve-
land undertaking TO manage an elephant
labeled democratic party"
Such things are what might be ex-
pected, and they are all right. There is
no higher praise for true democrats, than
republican denunciation. To be called
Gear Crisp" by those who blindly fol-
lowed Speaker Reed in his tyranny, is the
the highest order Of commendation to all
genuine democrats.
ACAMPAIGN OF vITUPERATION.
The republicans are getting ready for
vigorous work in the two weeks of debate
on the repeal of the federal election law,
which will begin tomorrow. They are
going to wave the bloody shirt and fight
the war over again. The southern people
will be denounced and vilified with all
the vehemence Of a republican cam
paigner whose bread depends on his hold
ing office, and with all the volubility that
can be supplied by diligent
use of Webster's International
Dictionary. The English Ian
guage will be strained to its utmost, and
other languages will be invaded to furn-
ish words with which to protray the
viIlainy of the southern people and the
woes of the poor freedmen growing out of
that villainy. Corrupt elections, fraudu-
lent counts, shotgun policy, white caps,
lynch law, summary dealings with ra-
pists-all these things and perhaps others
will be freely dilated upon in the next
two weeks. Vitriol is being stored up in
vast quantities and it will be poured out
in a deluge. The food is coming-look
out.

the first fire of any consequence last

like tinder. 1t was burned to the ground
in few minutes.

and caught from it. 1t was burned to
the ground.
Another unoccupied livery stable ad

ing but superhuman efforts on the part
of Quitman's fire company saved it from
destruction.
A block of brick business houses ad-
joined this last stable, and had it caught

New Orleans, La, Sept. 25.-The bar
barous cruelties that have disgraced JEFF
ferson parish have not ended. Last night,
it is learned, the negro arrested Saturday
night on suspicion Of being Julien, uwas
bound hand and foot and then tortured

negro was arrested for stealing a horse in
the parish of Jefferson. just below the
city, although he denied the charge,
He was arrested in Kenner, the
home of Judge Long, the leader of the reg
ulators, and as his description tailed
almost exactly with that of Julien, the
murderer, movement was set on foot to
lynch him. Persons in the crowd who
knew Julien, denied that the prisoner was
he, and then the mob decided to torture
him with the intention of extracting in
formation from him, regarding Julien s
whereabouts. He could give none. His
feet were horribly burned and swollen.
The mob claims that he attempted to
burn his way out of jail, and in the at
tempt burned his feet. This story is not
generally believed.

ferences With Them.
Washington, Sept 25.-The lengthening
of the sessions in the Senate to seven
hours per day had no effect on the cause
of repeal to-day. The extra time was
taken up by Senator Stewart discussing
his resolution declaring the independence
of the three branches of the government,
so that although the Senate met an hour
earlier, no time was gained. The policy
can, and probably will, be followed by the
anti-repeal senator's and nomore progress
will be made thai when the Senate met at
noon. The situation is substantially un-
changed.
Senator COlquitt, though confined to
his room several days holds daily confer
euces with silver men, and will do all in
his power to obstruct the passage of the
repeal bill. He expresses himself very
strongly against unconditional repeal and
says he is willing to expend his last
breath in an effort to prevent this great
wrong from being inflicted on his people.

that he is doubtful if the tariff bill will
be ready to report to the House by Nov. l.

it seems doubtful whether the reserves

except as infantry, the men showed no
evidences Of having. been drilled "As

instruction, be utilized in coast defense.
