doms in Europe, the people having be
come tired of paving taxes to support
courts, and she recommended him to
keep clear of any conspiracies to put
the Prince Imperial on the French
throne.
MODEL BEVOLt TIONIMT4.
The Democrats are always commit
ting revolutionary acts. The “rebel
brigadiers” have the capitol, and yet
they have the daring to projiose
measures of policy which will restore
freedom of -elections to every part of
the Union. They had the power to
|)ass these without debate, but con
trary to every precedent set them by
their foes, they allowed the freest
discussions. They have taught their
opponents some valnable lessons re
garding the Constitution, an instru
ment regarding which the Republi
cans appear wofully ignorant. The
ex-Confederates have very kindly'
given them needed instruction which,
it is hoped, will result in lasting
good. The Senate is doing the same
thing that the brigadiers permitted
in the House. There is nothing self
ish about the rebels, if they are rev
olutionary.
Another of the acts which en
danger the country ami imperils its
existence is the course in regard
to Mr. Bell of New Hampshire. The
term of Senator Wadleigli expired by
limitation on the fourth of March.
The Legislature does not meet until
November. The State was so nar
row minded and stingy that the Gen
eral Assembly was not called togeth
er in extra session to elect a Senator
to represent the State in the inter
regnum; so the Governor stretched
his jiower and appointed Mr. Bell.
The majority' of the coininitee on
elections reported, the Governor
had no authority to do this,
as there was no vacancy as contem-
platled, by the Uonstituion. The
minority said Bell is entitled to the
seat, that there arc precedents for it.
Now the Ueimhlicans are strong on
precedents when they are on their
side, and ignore them when against.
Precedents were convenient for them
to kick about as they pleased when
they were in power. Bayard and
other Democrats supjsirtcd the mi
nority report; Senator Hill argued
for the majority, and so did Carpen
ter, a Republican. The result is Bell
was seated by thirty-five to twenty-
eight. Intensely revolutionary was
thi-.
The Democrats are now finding a
way to pay arrears of pensions to
Union soldiers against the opposition
of such Republicans as Secretary
Sherman. Certainly nothing can be
more highly revolutionary than this.
The minority to which Senator
Bruce bolongs did not ask his wishes
or advice in arranging the Republi
can representations on committee
The “man and brother” was left in
the cold by the anti-revolutionists,
who love liis race so much. Where-
ui»on Senator Garland, of Arkansas,
an atrocious rebel and Confederate
brigadier, moved for the appointment
of a special committee to inquire into
the condition of the Southern ne
groes, witli Senator Bruce as chair
man thereof, and the rebels adopted
it. Such as this will not do. The
Republicans ought to call an indig
nation meeting, yell, shout and howl
over such outrageous proceedings.
Unless they are stopped the Union
will be fully restored, partisan feel
ing be banished, and the country be
ruled with wisdom, justice and mod-
•ration. The Republicans ought at
nice to condemn such a revolutionary
policy. It will destroy them if they
do not.
haps hardly so man v—represent
what may be styled without offense
as the monied power of the country.
This small minority of the party*
are in full accord with the majority
on the questions involved in the ar
my bill and the legislative bill; but
they are utterly opposed tb disturb
ing the existing status of the finan
cial, currency and taxation questions;
hence a few of the timid and time
serving who agree with a great ma
jority of the party as to the necessary
reforms, go with this small minority
rather than split the party. This, I
think, is a correct statement of the
issue. Hence I think unless public
sentiment is aroused and the Democ
racy throughout the land shall be
fully awakened to the responsibilities
resting upon them and the expecta
tions of our oppressed people from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the
gulf to the lakes, there can be little
hope for any improvement in our ex
isting state of affairs from the present
session, or from the present Congress.
Mr. Stephens says the subject of
pensions to the soldiers and the wid
ows of soldiers of the Mexican war
are covered by' the considerations
alluded to. Members of Con
gress are paid by the year,
they are salaried officers of the
Government, and should remain at
their posts as judges do and perform
their duty. If they are direlict the
country will hold them responsible.
He thinks that President-making
is Hie chief trouble. There is not so
much regard paid to the fitness of the
man and principles as there is a
scramble for office.
Mr. Bayard, on the 8th, asked tho
unanimous consent of the Senate to
consider, without reference to the ju
diciary committee, and pass the bill to
repeal sections 820 and 821 of tho Re
vised Statutes, which impose a test
oath upon jurors in the Federal
courts. Mr Bayard mado an earnest
appoal for immediate passago of the
bill, but Edmunds, of Vermont, ob
jected to tho repeal of section 821, and
the bill therefore goes to the judiciary
committee. Nothing could moro sig
nally illustrate tho rancorous hostili
ty of tho Republican loaders for tho
South than this course of Edmunds.
It also marks their hypocrisy. Mr
Bayard’s motion puts the Democratic
party in Congress on stronger ground
than they have heretofore occupied,
the Republicans having pretended
that they wore all roady to agree to
this repeal of tho test oath as a seperato
bill.

The following private letter, re
ceived by Messrs. Sella <Sc Co., of thia
citv, from East C'arroll pariah, Louis-
iana, indicates very plainly that the
negroes who are leaving that section
of the South for Kansas are the dupes
either of some scheme to rob them of
what little thev have or some conspi-
raev to injure and embarrass the
planting interests of the South which
thev are deserting. The letter is
written by an entirely responsible
party, ami is of interest as reflecting
some little light upon a subject con
cerning which a^good deal of infor
mation yet remains to be ascertained :

March 31. 1879. )
Mr**r*. Sellid- Co., St. Louts:
Gentlemen—Referring to the sub
ject of your recent letter, I would
state that the emissaries of some one
tell the negroes here that they will
be furnished by government with
laud, implements and provisions
on ten years’ credit; and they are dis
tributing, secretly, illustrated hand
bills. representing enormous potatoes,
apples, peaches and prodigious
growths of corn, etc., as the yield of
the lands, and black men riding in
carriages, smoking cigars and wear
ing enormous gold watch chains, etc.,
as the ordinary condition of the dar
key in Kansas, and the poor creatures
believe it all. St. Louis will feel the
exodus, as every one who goes is that
many less for you to supply. There
is absolutely no reason why they
should leave, save for the lying rep
resentations made by these secret
emissaries. Who can be at the bot
tom of it all?
I notice the terrible stories told by
some of the emigrants of the slaying
of the negroes down here by the
whites, and some papers, particular
ly the Globe-Democrat, seem ty ex,
lilt in giving credence to them. I
think I would hear of such occur
rences if they really took place, and i
pledge you ray honor, so fur as I
know and believe, nothing of the
kind has ever happened here. What
are our lands worth without labor ?
Would we not be seuseless idiots to
drive away our sole dependence for
working them ? The negroes are ten
to one here, and have just voted for
the candidates of their-choice. Our
police, jury, sheriff - , recorder, deputy
clerk, senator and representative are
all negroes. The negroes dominate ._ „
over us, not we them, and a pretty for*three veamnnd says 1
mess they make ot it.
I wish some of those who write
thus slanderously of us had <to live
iiere for a time. I can assure you
they would soon give the public a far
different view of the situation than
that given by a fewignorant refugees.
Yours truly, &c.,
T. L. Van Fossen.

Unscathed by shot and steel, he passed

Oh! God, that he hath lived so long and

Along the war-worn wasted ranks that loved
him to the last,
With saddened face and weary pace the

MARRIAGE
VIIAVH OF HON. A. II. NTKI’IIRNM
• Mr. KtcphuiiH (loca not think Mr,
Huyt'8 will veto the army bill
Since the beginning of the Govern
ment, he ways no act of Congress rt
pealing an act has been vetoed by a
President. He cannot claim that the
repeal is tin* result of hasty’ or inoon
siderate legislation. Surely lie would
not* veto a hill regardless of the fact
of its eonstitutionality or not. Mr
Huyfs voted for the impeachment of
Andrew Johnson because of his exer
cise of tho veto power. If he doe
veto it, sufficient unto the day is th
evil thereof.
Mr. Stephens thinks that two-
thirds of the Democrats and a major
ity of the Green hackers are in favor of
legislation on the line he urged upon
the Democratic caucus. Wheth
the thirty-four Democrats who voted
with the solid Republicans to adjouri
over Monday to avoid consideration
of questions for the relief of the
people will continue firm, he
cunuot tell. The Republicans de
sire tile situation to remain as it is,
and if the Democrats continue with
them further general measures will
he estopped.
Mr. Stepheus thus explains; A
large majority of the Democrats arc
decidedly in favor of the renewal of
the unlimited coinage of silver.
England and Germany are about to
change their policy on the silver
question. A like majority’ of the
Democrats are also in favor of an in
crease in the volume of currency,
resting upon a sound basis. Some
are in favor of coin and bullion cer
tificates, such as suggested by me.
Some are in favor of the issue of
greenbacks backed by the faith and
credit of the Government for their
redemption. But these points of dif
ference could easily’ he reconciled on
consultation. The object on all sides
is relief against present contraction
and such relief as shall be founded
upon the soundest principles of
political economy; three-fourths
are In favor * of u modi
fication of the present iniqui
tous system of internal revenue and
three-fourths of them, nay, nine-
tenths of them are in favor of a mod
ification of the present unequal and
unjust taritl*. A like proportion, I
think 1 may say, are In favor of re
pealing the present prohibitory tax
on State banking. On all these as
well as other important questions an
overwhelming majority of the Dem
ocrats in the house are for remaining
here and legislating in correcting j
the abuses and reforming the evils of
the maladministration of public af
fairs of the last ten years which has
reduced the country to its deplorable
condition. The trouble of progress
ing with this business of reform^ is
this; About twenty Democrats per-
Lafcor in tho day Moody, tho revivalist,

hor death spiritual advisors wore pres

Accoriving to tho official report,quoted
by tho Now York Sun,moro than thirty’
million dollars are paid annually by
tho United States for imported fibres—
llux, hemp and jute—and this, too, not
withstanding tho fnct that in no "other
country in tho world can thoso fibres
bo grown so well and cheaply. It has
boon demonstrated that jnto can bo
profitably grown in South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Toxas,
and wherever there Is a hot damp cli
mate, and a soil of sandy, clay, or allu
vial mould. It is four times as produc
tivo as cotton or llax, and requires not
moro than one-tenth tho labor to pro-
duco it. In its manufacture thore is not
half tho loss thore is in hemp and llax
while jute bags are worth more than
llax and last longer.
The act recently passed by tho Ten
nessee Legislature regulating the sale
of pistols, makes it a misdemeanor to
bring into the State eithor for tho pur
pose of soiling, giving away or other
wise disposing of any belt or pocket
pistol, except army or navy pistols.
Any person guilty of-a violation of this
law Hlmlh*pay a lino of not less than
$25 nor more than $100, and may be

present persons charged with violations
of this law, and they may be presented

Mayor Auiikky, of Marshall, Texas
writes to tho chairman of the relief

tho murdered actor at New York, that
tho peoplo of Texas are tilled with a

I'oiiiiuorioi-o YanderblU and Horace
Greeley.
When CommodoreVnnderbilt heard
“Corneel” hud been borrowing large
sums of money from Mr. Greeley, he
became very angry, and assuming
that Mr. Greeley bad loaned the
money in the belief that he, the Com
modore, would repay it, determined
not to pay it, as a warning to others
not to lend money to this wayward
son. After thinking over it, lie set
of!' in high dudgeon to see Mr. Gree
ley, and “give him a piece of his
mind about it.” Mr. Greeley was
very busy when the Commodore
eutue, pulling and indignant, into ills
ofliee. In ills usual bluff, impetuous
way, the Commodore said: "Mr.
Greeley, I understand you’ve been
lending my son, * ‘ Corneel,’
money?” Mr. Greeley, look
ing up quickly, " and then
almost instantly resuming ills work
replied, in his usual drawling way,
“Yes, Commodore, I lmve let him
have some money.” “You have, eh ?”
hiufled in the Commodore, “you
have—well, 1 wantyou to understand
that I ain’t responsible for it and I
shan’t payiyou a cent of it.” Mr.
Greeley ran liis spectacles upon his
brows, stopped writing for a moment,
and, turning a full face on the Com
modore, fairly yelled out, “You won’t,
eh ? Well, who the devil asked you
to pay it? I didn’t, did I?” Mr.
Greeley dropped his glasses over ills
eyes and bent again to his work. The
Commodore, nonplussed and boiling
over with fury, steamed out of the
ofliee, and it is a matter of rumor
that tiie two men were never after
ward on as good terms os they had
previously been.
Stanley Matthews, ex-Senator
from Ohio, and formally known as tho
“acting-assistant-president” of tho
Ciiitod States, is still in Washington

hills just as often as they aro presented
