TUESDAY EVENING. MAR. Q. 1877.

TIE NEW YORK and Brooklyn dem
ocrats are wise men in their day and
generation. They have determined
that the men who deserted them last
fall shall have nothing to do with the
management of their party until period
of probation shall at least indicate
whether they will not prove traitors
again at the next election, and join the
republicans, as they did last November.
They then proved that their profession
of faith in a low tariff was not sincere,
and also that their expressed desire for
the gold standard was not real, as the
party they put in power has declared
for bimetallism. The politics of such
men cannot be trusted, and now that
the republicans have ''shook" them,
and they have no where else to go, if
thew want to come back to the fold they
abandoned in its dire extremity, they
should be glad TO be allowed to do so,
and to serve willingly as high privates in
the rear rank. The New York and
Brooklyn democrats have set wise ex-
ample to all the other democrats of the
country. For party to be successful,
its discipline must be as rigid as that of
a successful army.

zell Mr.. Hopkins said he knew how
long it took to build an armor plate
and how much money it took. He call
ed attention to the fact that while the
companies which furnished the armor
plate for the Kearsarge and Kentucky

for it, they were selling the same armor
to the Russian government at S249 q

The request of Mr.. Boutelle was
agreed to.
Conferrees on the District of Colum-
bia bill were appointed and then at
lilo on motion of Mr.. Dslzell the
House adjourned until - o'clock.
When the House assembled for Tues
days session Mr.. Dalzell asked and
obtained unanimous consent to address
the House for 80 minutes in reply to
the structures passed upon the official
conduct of Justice Shiras by Mr.. Nc
Millin and Mr.. Dearmond during the
consideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. Leave was also given to
the democratic side to respond for the
period of 80 minutes. Mr.. Dalzell
quoted the remarks OF Messrs. McMil-
lin and Dearmond and said that if
Mr.. McMillin in the use of the elegant
and classic language he used in regard
to Justice Shiras, that he had at last
"got under his thick hide" thought
that the defense of the decision of the
court in the income tax case, by Mr..
Martlett on that occasion, was inspired
by Justice Shiras, he was badly mis-
taken.
Mr.. McMillin reafirmed the charge
that Justice Shiras had changed his
mind and referred to Mr.. Dalzell as
the mouth-piece of the Justice.
II deny it," interjected Mr.. Dalzell-
'I forestalled the gentleman by state
ment he should accept as coming from
me-"
EFF not his mouth-p piece" retorted
Mr.. McMillin, "then his apologist and
defender. And I challenge the gentle
man to say that Justice Shiras was
in favor OF the law on the first
decision aud opposed to it on the Sec

Mr.. Dalzell-Will the gentleman say

the court knows how the eight justices
divided upon the question?
Mr.. McMillin replied that there was
one who knew (name him, name him,
many republicans shouted), and that
was Justice Shiras. Sarcastic cries Of
'oh, oh'D.
Mr.. McMillin said that if any person,
court or power, attempted by any
means to tear down the constitution he
should stand unmoved, even by the elo-
quence of the gentleman from Pennsyl-
vania, and hold up the consttion as the
supreme law Of the land and ever to be
preserved. (Applause).
Mr.. Desrmond said the decision of the
court was but temporary, because, he believ.
ed, the American public would never accept

against Justice Shiras, he warned the gentle.

ONE OF THE boilers organs in the
the North objects to the conditions I'M
der which Mr.. Bryan says those who
deserted the democratic party last fall
should be allowed to come back to it,
and says she ignores the fact that
there is decided difference of opinion
as to who abandoned the party
last year." Well, as 6,509,O56 demo-
Gratis Submitted to the arbitramentso of
the national democratic convention, !"
and 1872, O56 refused to do so, the differ
ence of opinion as to who deserted the
party seems to be by no means as de-
cided as the organ referred to would
have it appear. Indeed a comparison
of the votes received by Bryan and
Palmer naturally suggests the old story
of the three tailors of Tooley street,
who labored under the vain deiusion
that they spoke for all the other people
of London.

Virginia, as reported in yesterdays
GAZETTE, correctly reflects the opinion
of the other republicans of the State in
respect of the reimposition of high
tariff on what the people of the State

tie need for Virginia democrats to bother
themselves about restricting suffrage,

may desire at next fall's election.
Very few people have money enough
now to pay for the articles they must
buy, and could i'll afford to pay the ad-

would put on them. Most of the Vir-

want is, not restrictions upon trade,
but the privilege of selling in the dear.
