THE 1'OllTY-TillItI> ( ONOUEHS.
The forly-tbird Congress in now in bgh-
aion, and from thorn Iho people expect
much. The country 1qo1ch for them to bo
statesmen not partisans, and it is expected
that they take immediate action on tho
present financial panic, and it is to be
hoped a statesman will speedily bo devel
oped that will suggest a remedy for the
relief of the people. Too long, have our
Congressmen limited themselves to tho
narrow field of partisanship, and acted as
if tho capital woro tho arena in which tho
success of party in future political con
tests was to bo decided. The expansion of
the currency is more important than tho
Cuban difficulty, or Pinchbeck's seat, and
should command immediate attention.
This settled, tho Cuban question will bo
in order, and the people will be calmer
and bettor prepared to be fair when thoro
is a showing of commercial prosperity
and fewer men out of employment. The
President’s desire to repeal the odious and
ouerous bankrupt law is houest and wise,
and Congress should not delay action on
it, for if it wore now enforced, ninety per
cent, of the business men of tho
country could be forced into bank
ruptcy, no matte, how largo their assets.
Xuternftl transportation is a vital question
to the “Great WV..;.” and Houth, and it is
the province of statesmanship to devise
and provide for avenues that at ovory
souson of the year will give an outlet to
the grain of ill" Wc.J and tho products of
the South ul low rates. Such an avenue
would do iini' ii to koop money perpetual
ly in cii i.htliou th rough on:, tho country,
and ho prev nt its Ix-iu,.; dammed up in
New York for speculative jmrpoaos. On
ly in water-way:, nan cheap transportation
bo found, and these to bo effective must
pass over latitudes so low ns to pre-
(ludo tho possibility of their being frozen
up in winter. General Cordon has intro
duced a bill in tho Seuate asking Con
gress to appropriate funds sufficient to
pay the into runt on $80,000 for every mile
of tho Atlantic and Great Western Canal
built. We have long had much faith in
this onterpiise. but. any route selected
through the Southern States will meet
• ur hearty approval. Tho back pay ques
tion will bo revived, and us it is tho
child of a Democratic father
and u Republican mother, wo expect to
*eu lively times in the infanticide that will
bo forced on the parents. Tho bill re
pealing tho newspaper postage law should
bo strangled at tho curliest possible day,
without restoring tho franking privilege.
J'oor Louisiana needs tho attention of tho
Government more than Cuba, and such
congressional action as will tend to lift
the yoke and give liberty to hor down
trodden people will tend to make Grant
and his parly more popular with the peo
ple. The insane idea that this generation
must pay tho national debt should bo
crushed out, and no lighten tho tuxes on
tho people. To iinino t he many necessa
ry measures demanding the attention of
Congress would be to write an iiulox to
one-half tho bills that may bo passed.
Financial relief should bo given first, and
then lot Congress take time to deliberate,
aud for once show they are working for
the good of tho whole nation.

Wo have not hesitated to denounce tho
habit of carrying pistols, and wo loam the
Grand Jury is taking active measures to
suppress l o ovil. Yesterday wo reeoived
the following letter, which wo givo verba

linart is alive to tho subject, and it shows
the character of men that go armed, aud
why. We did not accept tho invitation it

COMME.M.HM.
Tho following, headed “Wo Demand,” j
from tho NoW York Rrt'etin reads very
much like oommuhibiu :
Wo appear to bo t i te -i . r the eve of
peremptory “demands a committee
I ruin a self-conatitmed body, called tho
Workingmens’ C nti.il l uiou, waited upon
Mayor ll iwineyer a duy or two ago and
“duiimndt-d that the city resumo opera-
'■ • ® 1 1 the public works not for the
sake o» completing thoso works, whatever
or wherever they uiuy he—hut to provide
employment for laborers who lmvc noth
in to do. A tew d.»yn later, au Assistant
Alderman, us if m tho interest of that self-
consttituted I’uiou, “demanded' that the
corporation take upon itself the responsi
bility of issuing n few millions of “legal
tenders,” or “whinplasters,’’ in order to
find the wherewithal to respond to the
“demand in the first instance. And
while it is just entering tho heads of peo
ple about the City Hall that there is not
•van tho shadow of legul warrant for any
such assumption of power, a like ava
lanche of **d« mauds’ comes iu upon
us from Philadelphia. At a muss meeting
of workingmen in Independence Square,
a dnv or two sinco, we mad, among other
things, cquailv wild, it was resolved that
“wo demaud of tho City Councils that
they find immediate employment for no-
be persuaded to lay its hands upon. Not
to be behind the New York and Philadel- j
pbia brethren, the unemployed of Patter- \
son, N. J., we are informed, on Saturday
gave formal notice that on Monday they
would insist upon the city authorities
complying with a “demand'' previously
made, that work should somehow be pro
vided for thorn at the public expense.
On this occasion they wished to have it
known that they, too, speak in the im
perative mood.
There is nothing particularly novel in
these soveral “demands.” The public
have hoard them often before. The Com-
niuuo of Paris and tho Internationalist
Congress at Genova, if not their birth
places, were their nursery ; but on this
side of the Atlantic, we respectfully sub
mit, they have no proper place. The
great body of the American people, it
Bhould be borne iu mind, are just as much
“working-men,” in the better meaning of
that much-abused phrase, as tho exuber
ant orators who figure at these “demand"
meetings : yet we feel pretty sure that
they would bo ashamed to he thus placing
themselves in tho position, as if by prefer
ence, of public paupers, and an exhibiting
an ignorance of the real ends and pur
poses for which government here was in
stituted, for which there is no earthly ex-
curo in a land so liberally endowed with
common schools. Wo trust, for their own
sakes, the persons who draw up these
communistic resolutions and make these
communistic “demands” will stop and
think that they are neither in Paris nor
at Geneva, but iu a country endowed with
u government to bo administered, not in
tho interest of this or that particular
class, but for all.
In the name spirit with these several
demands, wo observe tho Federal Coun
cil of the International Workingmen
Association, ut a Sunday evening meeting
in this city, indulged in a variety ol
throats which, if there bo any reasonable
men among thorn, tboy must bo, as they
ought to be, ashamed to see iu print
One of their orators went so far as to in
timate that “a revolution was approach
ing,” that “the city would be compelled
to provide work, ” and that “if this were
not done within a certain time, tho work
ingiuon know what they would do.” Tho
proceedings concluded with a manifesto
embodying the following demands:
I 1. Work to bo provided for all those
! willing and able to work, at tho usual
wages, and on tho eight-hour plan. 2.
An advance of either money or produce,
sufficient for one weok’s sustenance, to be
made to laborers and their families in ac
tual dist ress. 3. No ejectment from lodg
ing to bo made for non-payment of rent
from Deo. 1, 1873, to May 1, 1871. Tho
manifesto concludes with tho following
moderate suggestions : “Moro than 200,-
()()() working men are residing in Now
Yoik, and tho same proportions are exist
ing in almost every city and State of this
country. Would it not be an easy thing
for this vast majority of tho adult citizens
to put a stop to tho vile practices of capi
ta), to the greediness and pilaging habits
of our modern highwaymen? Could or
would any authorities, legislative or exec
utive, be bold onough to rosist our de
mands, if sustained by the undivided
front of tho laboring masses?”
Wo do not know* who tho persons are
who make these throats—their names
have a red republican ring about them ;
but wc do know thoy aro not tho friends,
but tho worst foes, of the laborer. It iH
incredible that the more intelligent of
tho working people cannot perceive this
themselves, ami will not take an early op
portunity to disavow, on their own behalf,
tho iucondiary sentiments and tho worse
than incendiary threats thus imputed to
them. Tho disavowal, for their own
sukos, cannot como a moment too soon.

Aldermen—1st Ward, J. D. Solomon; 2d

—Says the Henry County Register:
A few days since a member of tho Ala
bama Legislature introduced a bill to pro
vide against the evil resulting from tho
sale of spirituous and intoxicating liquors
iu the State of Alabama. This is tho cel
ebrated “Maine Liquor Law.” The bill
makes the bar-keeper liable in damages
for the druukeunass, or any for loss oc
casioned or damage reaulting from the
drunkenness of any person to whom snch
bar-keeper has sold intoxicating liquors—
the snit to be brought by the wife, son,
daughter, father, mother, brother, sister
or guardian of the drunken man. It de
clares ail liqaor shops “nuisances,' and
givos great latitude to the plaintiff in ma
king his proof.
—The Savannah Advertiser gives this
black picture of Alabama's financial con
dition : It is not easy to imagine a State
in a worse condition, financially, than
this once opulent and thriving Common
wealth. It has wasted and wilted in the
poisonous breath of Radicalism, like every
other Southern community, only to a
somewhat more miserable extent than
some others. Alabama owes a debt it is
not possible, with her small and now bro
ken and poor population, to pay. No Leg
islature can ever be brought to the capi
tal that will take the responsibility of try
ing to levy and collect a tax to meet, in
full, the diroot debt of the State, to pay
for a reasonable sohool system and the
current expenses of the Government.
The direot debt of the State, when cor
rectly ascertained, will be found to amount
to near $25,000,000. Tho floating debt
will be found to amount to severul other
millions. The State’s treasury is empty,
and likely to continue so. Hor credit is
at the lowest point. She cannot borrow,
if at all, except at a ruinous discount.
The assets of the State we regard as al
most nihil, under present circumstances.
The planters are nearly all in debt. The
few manufacturing establishments in the
State aro either ruined or crippled. We
believe tho Southern and central portions
of Alabama are bankrupt. The State, as
a whole, is bankrupt.
