TIE GENERAL APPROPRIATION BnL-WHY
TIE Two HOUSES DISAGREED The Senate
passed the appropriation bill without clause
appropriating $1,000 to pay the expenses of
funding the public debt, and $1,000 to pay
for preparing historical papers, because it
turned out that the $4,000 appropriated to
pay the expenses of the funding bill was
applied as to $1,000 to pay temporary
clerk in the Treasurer's Office, who had been
there as temporary clerk since 1871. and 2720
to pay an interior guard for bis office. The
Codesays that no temporary clerk shall be
employed in any of the basement offices. The
House inserted the appropriation of $1,000
"for the expense OF funding the public debt"
and the appropriation of $1,000 for index
ing historical papers. To these amendments
the Senate disagreed, and there was COM
mttee Of conference, which last night agreed
to report that the House recede from both
amendments. and that in lieu Of them
should adopt one appropriating s720 to pay
an interior guard at the Treasurer's Office.
The report of the conference committee will
be made to both houses this morning.

New York was excited few days ago by
the marriage of the Rev. Il. s. Lake, a
Catholic priest, with Miss Sara Genevra
Chafa. The sequel to the romantic story
has Just been given to the public. Father
Lake was the son Of a'wealthy New York
merchant. He embraced the tenets of the
Catholic faith at an early day, and was Or
dained priest. His sacerdotal career was
marked by an undisciplined fervor,in which
his zeal constantly outran his discretion.
His brilliant oratory caused him to be
placed prominently in the leading churches
of New York; but he fell into disgrace,
owing to several sermons which were very
rash and Incorporate in tone, and he was
finally placed in an OBSCURE charge. He
here became acquainted with Miss Chafa,
who was kindred spirit, Of high but ill
regulated aspirations. They were thrown
very much together and were finally mar
RED. MIR. Lake was very much. attached
to his wife and unsettled in his beliefs, but
it would seem was never quite reconcled
to his abandonment OF his priestly vows.
After living In seclusion in New York un<
der an assumed name, for some time, their
identity being discovered, the pressure OF
Catholic sentiment, it is alleged, inconve-
nienced them so far az to induce them tC
move to California. Here they lived fol
some time, until finally he fell into con.
sumption, and died last December, leaving
his widow in strange land.

The radicals and their allies, the
Independents, have adopted the
strategy of the Curates, who saved
the historical infant by elashing
shields to drown the cries of the
child wanted by the devouring mon
ster. In their anxiety to persuade
the Democracy to peaceably permit
the minority to steal the Presiden
cy, and to keep their thieving hands
in the public treasury foug years
more, they insist that somebody
proposes war as a remedy. This is
a contemplate device, and will de-
ceive no one. It is the clashing of
shields TO drown the cries of the
people against fraud, villainy, and
made in the interest of knaves and
tricksters, who seek to frighten the
people with the cry of war while
they are robbing them of their lib
critics. No one proposes armed re-
sistance to any infamy which the
Radicals may enact. The National
Democracy has counseled peace,
and propose to prevent fraud only
by legal remedies. The Southern
Democracy is still more serene and
conservative in the expression of
its views. As evidence of the tone
and temper of the Democracy of
Tennessee. we refer the reader to
the extracts in another column,
from those two leading Democratic
papers, the Murfreesboro Mea0s and
the Pulaski Citigen They give the
lie to the Radical twaddle about the
danger of war. In every section Of
the Union the Democrats are united
in counseling the true and only
remedy for the crisis, and that is an
appeal to the laws and the patriot
ism of the people to prevent the
consummation of the attempted
outragcs. The Southern people do
not think Of war, and never talk of
it as a remedy.-Memphis AppeqI.

There has been bulldozing else
where than in the South. We were
bul.dozed in Philadelphia Saturday
before the election, and a negro
was subjected to the same treat
ment at the same time. A profes
sor Of Girard College was drunk
and was cursing a negro for saying
he was a democrat. We were stand
ing by and feasting our eyes upon
a negro who could stand up in that
city of radical hate and boldly as,
sert his opinions, but we didn't
dare to open our mouth. Atlength
the drunken professor turned to us
and asked us where we hailed from,
and right tremblingly did we tell
HIM. Then he took it for granted
we were a democrat because we
looked honest, we presume, and
assuming that we didn't endorse
Brownlow, he took that worthy
old blackguard and held US up to
gether and praised one and cursed
the other-fnally working ont the
problem to his own satisfaction, de
ducing as carrollary that we were
n d-n fool. We did not believe it,
but were willing to let him believe
it and say so just for the satisfac-
tion we experienced in hearing him
curse the negro. We call upon
Congress to take this fact into con
sideration when it comes to count
the vote of Philadelphia.

adopted ten years ago, transfers the

The Democratic State Committee
met at indianapolis. Ind, last We'd
nesday and the members gave the
sentiment prevailing in their re-
spective districts. The democrats
throughout the State are convinced
that Tilden is elected and express a
determination to see him inaugura-
ted. They deprecate war, but are
determined to see the right triumph
at all hazards. A State Convention
was called for Jan. 8th, and the
Committee in making the call send
out TO TIE country an address for

the necessity of decided expires

They warn the people against the
designs of the conspirators who
would overthrow the government
AND involve the country in anarchy
and revolution to satisfy the greed
of ambitious leaders who would be-
come usurpers. They call upon
honest, loyal people, irrespective of
party, to join in united effort to
checkmatet the conspirators and save
the government. We hope to see
the whole country follow this ac-
ton. Let there be conventions in
all the States on the same day, and
let an indignant people give such a
decided and overwhelming rebuke
to the usurpers as will forever set
tie them. We call upon the Tennes-
see Committee to issue its call for a
Convention in Nashville on the Sth

ing of the people in the way pointed

In a speech at Peoria, H., on the
8th inst, Col. Bob Ingersol said:


If there is a Democrat here, 1
give him a warning that Samuel j.
Tilden can never be inaugurated.
1 had rather see another war than
see him inaugurated through the
means of that hound in Oregon.
Rutherford B. Hayes viii be inau-
rated on the 9TH of next March I
would be in favor of having it on
the 4th. There cannot be too good
e day on which to inaugurate Re
publican President. The
Republican party viii never turn
this government over to Democrats.
II Hayes don't go in, nobody will.
Grant viii stay.


There never was such an election
and there never was such a time
finding out who was elected. Isay
to the Democrats, hope you will
not lean upon the vote of Louisiana.
The record will be damaging to nu-
manity and to the fair name of the
American people. Think of it,
Democrats, of the kind of company
you have to keep. The best Dem
ocrats in the city of Washington
say that Mr.. Hayes has been hon
estly elected.


See the difference between the
two parties. Not a single charge
of fraud, not a single row has been
charged to the Republicans. The
Democracy have not got the moral
courage to oppose us IN the inaugn
ration of Hayes. They know that
we will protect the honor and in
tegrity of the nation. The Demo
cratic party is not fit to govern the
country. Let them sell out their
fire works; Tilden will never be
President. John Morrissey is the
best Democrat I know. He is the
most influential man 1 know. He
is what he pretends to be. He is
the embodimento of Democratic prin-
ciples. If we don't protect our cit
izens at home and abroad, our coun-
try is a failure. If we can't devise
some plan to keep the Republican
party in power it will be a failure.


By the time we get all the mean
things the Democrats ever did on
the shoulders of their candidate, he
can't run very well. When you
pile the record of the last campaign
on top of that,no man can ever stand
it. There never will be another
Democratic President.


There are some Republicans who
were talking about reform. The
Republican party never needed re-
form. There was occasionally an
individual in the party who ought
to have been a Democrat. But
they were an exception.


If there be any Republicans who
voted for Tilden, we say to them
repent in sackcloth and ashes. Let
us keep every man who ever was a
Republican in the party.


When the news goes through the
South it will strike into the cabin
doors like sunshine, it will strike
every black face like glory.

the commission which ne asked authority q
| appoint last winter was mere subterfugt
for postponing the question. He would hav,
been ready to act on it in 1870 if he had
been Governor at that time, because he had
then no motive for oourting Tammany, bat
he evades it now because the cooperation Of
Tammany is necessary to his success. He
has not forgotten that Mr.. John Kelly was
his champion at the time of his nomination,
and that if Tammany had not fought his
battle he would not now be Governor His
sense of obligation was shown at the last
Convention by the admission of the Tam
many delegates. His success in the Conven-
tion to be held in the spring for choosing
delegates is impossible if Tammany should
work against him, and he will therefore con-
tribute to no reform which Tammany has an
interest in opposing.


One Of the points on which Governor
Iilden has so unequiyocal a record that he
cannot change his views is the necessity Of
holding our municipal election in the
spring. The reasons for such a change are
appreciated by the Governor, and nobody
could state them with more conclusive force.
But the trading Tammany politicians do not
desire spring election. It would prevent
them from subsidizing candidates for State
and county offices and candidates for Con-
gress and the Legislature and making them
tributary to the schemes Of city ring.
We trust that the republican Legislature,
which does not wish to play into the hands
of the democratic Governor, will take up
this question at an early day and pass
amendments to the charter containing such
reforms as Governor Tilden has approved
and cannot veto. Changing the cleo
ton to the spring has no necessary
connection with the organization of the city
government. A spring election would be
salutary, whether the Mayor has much or
little power, whether the other city officers
come in and go out with him or not and
whether he has the sole power Of appointing
them or shares it with the Common Coun-
ell. A spring election would be beneficial
under any form of organization, and even if
no other measure of municipal reform could
be carried at this session it would be worth
while for the Legislature to pass bill trans
ferring our charter election to the month of
April Such n bill would no doubt embarrass
the Governor when it came before him for
his signature, but he could not afford to
veto it.
