Borne time af» one of onr oity cotemporariee
had a tw§ eofctonn editorial, under the cap
tion I>tocus*|*>s of Demooraey,” or so mm
thing of the soft, which, as wc anderaUnd Ik
meant an abandonment, or oontemplatsd
abandonment of the “Democracy.” if, indeed,
it meant anything. It aet forth the opinioo
that the name “Democracy, ” had not only be
come a synonym of disaster, but au offensive
uuiaauoe with the manned. Not only waa the
name oheolcte, and therefore defseMve; hut
ihe pxinoiplee aud isenee whereon the name waa
wout to rest, wore res judicata settled, effete,
oUiduio, dead and beiougiug to a former
*poch in American history. Gratified at this
•videnoo of awakening to the roulitiue of the
prsotical things of life, and stimulated by the
1h1|m* that bcuceforth one “Democratic” paper
in U. orgin would have tho inonlimas aud iu-
dcpettJoiice to deal with Boituj issue*, we
hasteutnl to offer our oougratnhaiona, and to
give words of genuine encouragement.
But what waa our surprise when, iu the very
next issue of the paper above referred to, was
a second editorial explaining away the only
|xiiut made in the first; and wiuding up with
a couiplaiut that the Kka had tnisappruhciuled
i(H meaning, aud expressing Ihu hope that the
matter would be set right by ns! And lest we
ahould misinterpret this last editorial expla
nation of political position, (as wo did tho
first), it was distinctly asserted that it really de
signed to abandon nothing of the ‘ ‘Democracy"
bat the namei The old issues - those res judicata
aud all were to be rigdly adhered to; but the
n.itue “Democratic,"—aud the name only—
was to be abandoned; and that for uo better
r.Nison tli iu that there seemd to be a “puerile
prejudice" against it!
Well, wu hasteued U> make the correction
as desired. Aud uow comes another “Demo
cratic" paper of still greutcr protrusions—
published iu another State, aud which, if
nistuke not, is recognized as the. l>enio-
■ organ of the Mississippi Valley - with a
two column editorial bearing upon the
same subject wherein it asserted that —
“ It (Democracy) embraces au organization
that is splendid in discipline and in numbers;
but it bus uo common ground to stuiid on
that is distinctly its own. It has no national
policy which it pretends to set up as the rule
and principle of its action iu every part of the
ooantry.”
Such is the opinion of the Louisville Courier-
Journal, as given in words cf its choosing.
How it and our neighbor of the Constitution
will be able to reooucile the differences be
tween • Democracy” iu Kentucky (as ex
pound ud by the Courier-Journal), and Demo-
in Georgia (us explained and taught by
tho Constitution) is a matter wherein we
propose not to meddle. We only uote the
fact that, according to the teachings of the
representative organs of the “party” in each
State, Democracy means nothing in Kentucky,
and quite another and a difficult thing in
Georgiu ; and the same is true, according to
similar authorities, with reference to any
other two States of the Union. And yet, we
btliuvu it claims to be a national party!
The truth is, there never was a political
party iu such sad need of repairs 1 It needs
somuthiug like a dozen first-class funerals to
begin with- even the Courier-Journal admits
this. Then it needs new issues, a new set ol
principles, a new organization uud a new pol
icy. Lastly, it needs a new uutue ! In other
words, like the Welshman's shoo, which had
boon so worn down ns to hnvo neither vamp,
sole or lied piece in entirety, “it used* a new
everything”—men, leaders, issues, principles,
platform, organization, editors, even name
itseli! Was there ever a party in such utter
dt stitntiou ?

We
iiuiiot say that we aru gratified at the
position of tin* Louisville Courier-Journal, in
its ehdorsiueut of tho views long held by the
Era, respecting the impersonality of the press;
hec.iUMc our vo ws are right whether so en
dorsed or not. But we are pleased to know
that til*' disgustingly puerile habit of some
editorial writers, in their use of “wo" where
“1" is meant, is attracting the attention and
eliciting the criticism of some of the leading
journals of the Honth and West.
The Courier-Journal, Speaking ou this point,
■ays :
1 Im most rigid impersonality should be
ducted of writers using tho word ‘ we,"
which is plural as well hs impersonsl. It
does not refer to the editor or to the writer,
but to tho audience, groat or small, which
the paper is supposed to*represent. Hence
its impressiveness. If it referred to ouly one
man, and wero even sitniily s tnodeat way ol
saying “I," it would lie no belter than
the first person slngnlar.
Tho principle here laid down is so plain,
and addrosse* itself so foroibly and |*oiut«Mlly
to tbs common sense of every rational mind,
that it does seem strange that sven the most
inexperienced members of the editorial pro-
ssion should be unable to comprehend it.
The paper just quoted from closes its ad*
iruhly written nrticle in these words, which
we Ixg leave to commend to Urn prayerful
consideration of all concerned ;
That which thorough journalism demands
of its sevants is that they shall not mix up
their piivale transactions with it« concerns. -
Iu like manner society demands of them that
they leave tliuir shop behind them when they
go abroad. They must stand on their own
merit*. A fair practice of these simple prin
ciples will save the public and the press a
( ;ood deal of awkward coo/usiou and not a
ittle absurd misconception.
A reform in the matter hereinabove indica
ted, seems as necessary with certain journals
and editorial writers in the Booth and West,
as in their too frequent use of mere slang and
denunciation. The fact that a man happens
to be on editor of some paper, does not, in
Unelf, mako him a man of sufficient impor
tance to be constantly paraded before hia
readers in hie own projrrium.

reaoy. These uutmiuui will be I then up un

thud which have *u return!ml i«ch discus
sions during t|* past four years. Without (he
aid of legUlatiOtf, the oourte of events hoe so
shaped itself ae to simplify the task of the
legislator, in his attempts to solve the finan
cial problems of the day. In spite of the
great disadvantages of a fisotusHug ourrenoy,
aud iu spite of high Uxoe, the prosperity of
the oouutry has increased very greatly during
the past year. This is partly due to the in
nate energy of our people, partly to the re
pose and confidence incident to tho election
of a Republican Fresident, and the oouse-
quenl settlement of disturbing political ques
tions, and largely to the bounty of nature her
self in bleasiug u* this year with abundant
bat vests. Then the management of the rev
enues and expenditures of the Government
under the new Administration has infused
new hope and spirit iuto the pooplo by show-
fug them that eoouowy is not cue of Ibe de-
parted virtues, that taxes can be honestly
collected, and that it is not only possible to
meet our curreut expenses without crushing
iudustry by excessive burdens, but also to ap
ply a considerable amount out of our present
revenues to tho reduction of our debt and ol
our annual interest
We have been groping iu a cavern, aud
could acsreely tell whether we wero approach
ing it* eutruuco or getting deeper uud doepor
iu. What We liavs learned MM tho new Ad-
luiuiatraticn came iuto power is that we uro
ou Lin* right way out, for we can uow aee day
light. This is u great point gained. It is
the best safeguard against tho numerous pro
jects of dishouor now beiug agitated, for
wheu the people sue that the relief they keek
can bo found without resorting to repudia
tion or other disbouorsble schemes, they
will willingly consent to travel toward
visible laud of promise upon the hard high
way of honesty. Iu tho midst of darkness
ami eouiuHiou, with the terminus of
road upon which they are invited to walk
wrnpu. d in a common obscurity, it might bo
i>oo»iblo to entice them iuto the wroug path,
but with the coming of light the opportunity
ot tho tempter vanishes. In the fact that light
bus come, we have much for which to thunk
the present Beorelnry of the Treasury and the
CoiumisKiouer of Internal Revenue. Under
the administration of Andrew Johnson,
b it our pockets drained for tuxes uutil
duatry was paralyzed, yet wo saw uo adequate
results. The tmmoy which was takeu away
from us did not seoin to reach the Govern
ment coffers How many dishonest officials
aud kwiudliug manufacturers, distillers, tto ,
were enriched wo shall never kuow; but it is
at least consoling to have learned that the
evil, firmly intrenched as it acemed to be,
was not iuourablo.
Now it will depend upon Congress, at ita
next session, to take advantugc ot the favor
ing circumstances which uow exist, uud turu
them tojhe best possible use. Two things may
justly be regarded as imperative. One is to
provide for the funding of the debt at a lowdr
rate of interest. This probably depends
chiefly upon the vigorous prosecution of Sec
retary Boutwell’s policy of paying it off, and
upon the adoption of some scheme of Annual
payment which shall limit the time for ita ul
timate extinguishment. But it also depends
partly upon skill iu tho selection of classes of
securities likely to prove acceptable or to meet
existing wants; aud it depends still further
upon the stern and indignant repression of
every movement calculated to impair the na
tional crodit. We regret that there are Borne
men, even in the Republican ranks, iu Con
gress who have been guilty iu this particular.
It will be the duty of the Republican mem
bers generally to show that the counsels ol
such men cou huvu uo weight iu uatioual
legislation. Fortunately it was proved by
test votes last winter that there was n large
majority in Cougress in favor of an honest
policy. It only remains for that majority to
net with vigor ami show the world its power.
Tho other essential thing is the establish
ment of a hound carreucy. If auy argument
wan wanting upon this point, it has been fur
nished by the experieuce of the laid few
mouths. Tho property of tho uation is dis
tributed generally among tho people. Tin
exchanges of property are of hourly occur
rence, aud occur in every locality. Yet tin
medium ol exchange, which above ul! thing*
should be unimpeded in its movements and
universal iu its services to the people, is
very large degree subject to the control of
stunll cliques of men, who lock up o
wise inauage for their own advantage large
musses of tho currency. Tlieir ability to do
this is a result of the vices of the system. Tin
evil cannot be remedied until the system is
chungcd. There will ho strong and resolute
resistance on the part of those who are inter
ested in the present order of thiugs, and there
is danger that this resistance will pri
ceoslul. But the evil is a crying ou*<. It is
felt by every honest business mau iu tl
land, and every mechanic and laborer soffe
fiom it, whether he understands or not what
it is from which he Ktifler*. Thu demand for
a remedy is peremptory. Wo must have ■
currency which will serve the ends of the
homst and the industrious; which will facili
tate production and legitimate exchanges
stead of ministering to speculation, nud which
will subserve the interests of the people at
largo instead of pandering to speculators and
usurers.
The Republican party has it in its p
afford the uoeded relief, and next winter will
bo its golden opportunity. By using this op
portunity, it can remove the financial qm
tion from the arena of politics, and at the
same time, make the country its debtor for
vast advance in general prosperity. By neg
lecting it, or by yielding to the temptations
which those who profit by existing evils will
throw iu its way, it will not only court it* own
destruction, but will open the door for finan
cial rogues and charlatans to come in and ad
minister the business of the nation. There
thus on ono aide a glorious future for the par
ty and the nation; on the other, disaster,
ruin uud dishonor to both alike. It is impor
tant to understand, too, that it is uot ouly the
right action which i* required, but prompt,
vigorous and speedy action. Delay will be
dangerous as tho udoptiou of a wroug course.
We trust, therefore, (hat members of Con
gress will come here, when they do come,
prepared to deal with this subject according
to the exigency of the occasion.— \\’ishhi<jlon

from Attorney General Hoar, his opini-
ativo to political affairs in Virginia, and has
transmitted the same to General Canby for liis

of tho Legislature be approved, the Legisla
ture then becomes the Legislature of tho State
of Virginia, and the provisions of tho Cousti-
tntiou fixiug the qualifications of members of
the Legislature necensarily prevails, the
