Sk*x the Philadelphia llecord: “What

gressman from Maine wav trying hi* little
best to destroy fraternal feeling in the re-
stored Union, anil wo* rebuked by an ex
rebel from Virginia!” Gently friend—ex-
Goutedetale. You sco time still works
wonders.
Tint Philadelphia Record puts it thus
neatly: “If the Senate of the United States
deliberated upon Presidential nominations
to office openly and publicly, it might have
some ground for demanding the reasons for
making appointments and removals. But
why should the President givo to the Sen-
ato his reasons for a removal when the
Senate acting in secret executive session
gives the public no reasons for a rejection'?'’
Tbk Boston Herald says: “The fiery
Captain lioutelie, who represents the East
ern Maine District in Congress, is rather
late in bis efforts to flrn the Northern heart.
It was some ten years ago that Senator Sum
ner favored removing inscriptions of bat
tles from the tings of the army, for which he
was roughly abased, and even censured by
the Massachusetts Legislature. But he
lived to.aee the censure removed and the
wisdom of his view generally recognized.
The Greek idea was a good one—to build
none but wooden trophies to commemorate
the victories of civil war."
Tlia New York Sun declares ngainst the
government postal telegraph scheme. “The
assumption by the government of the hnsi
neas of telegraphy,” it says, “will he speed
ily followed by the purchase and operation
of the telephone lines. The principle of
onr simple political system being thus
broken down, the assumption by the gov
ernment of the railroads will logically and
inevitably follow. It cannot be avoided.
Trooping at the heels of this political revo
lution will vne the mob of destructive so
cialistic schemes, each demanding recogni
tion. And they will get recognition. And
after them, in the ripeness of inevitable
communistic rot, will como national. State,
and municipal bankruptcy, then chons, aud
then opportunity of a great soldier with a
heart of iron and bands of steel."
Tna Washington correspondent of the
New York World writes: "Business men
who are acrutinizing the work of Congress
anxious to find out what is to he done cau
rest assured ot ono thing—that there will
lie no legislation by this Congress relating
to the financial question or to the tariff.
The House may pass a tariff bill. There is
n good majority there of revenue reform
ers, hut the Senate will not agree to it. No
financial legislation can he passed in either
branch. If any legislation could he per
fected it would bo advene to the President's
financial polio) and would, therefore, meet
with e prompt veto. The anti-silver Sena
tors think that it the President should exert
his influence he might he able to carry
through the Senate a proposition to tempo
rarily suspend the coinage. Bnt if ho could
carry it through that body he ronld not now
carry it through the Ilonse, no matter what
influence be ahould exert. At least, this is
tho opinion of the beat observers and
judges in and about Congress.
"The cold
Tax Philadelphia Press says:
foot is— what neither the negro nor his de
fender, Mr. Cable, seems to have ever per
oeived—social distinctions exist among
whites toe. unreasonable and unjnst an ex
tent ee between the white and the black.
They are foolish, baseless, cruel, if yon
will, bnt they are inexorable, and their
existence is recognized by all practical peo
ple. Black, who is a lawyer and a man
of influence in Phiiadelphia,doea not invite
White, who is a mechanic, to his table nor
to his wife's receptions. White does not
ask Green, who is a laborer, to hia house,
and Black, when he goes to England, does
not expect to be entertained by dukes and
marquises. Probably each one of these
men is as honest, aa refined in feeling,
aa self-respectful as any of the others, yet
none of them grumble because the lines
are sharply drawn. They are more comfort
able among people who have the name hab
it*, tastes end friendships as themselves.
The separation of the colored man from the
white in aocial relatione it no more of a
grievance than this. In cities where he has
been able to achieve fortune, education,the
habits of leisure life, as in Philadelphia,
he is wisely indifferent to the lines of de
marcation between him and th* white.
They are no stronger than those which he
draws to keep back the poor and ignorant
of hie own color. The wealthy colored
people in this city have as ranch enjoyment
in their culture, their amneementa, their
decorated house* as their white brethren of
th* same claee.
The Duly of Democrat*.
The readers of the Tzdwiiui-h will reea 1
its words of warning when a few political
sleight-of-hand performers were endeavor
ing to persuade the Democratic party to en
trust its fortunes to the guidance and con
trol of ono of limited experience and educa
tion.
When the party in convention had been
induced to commit this great mistake, onr
readers will remember that the Trxiontait
again expressed its serious doubts if a Dem
ocratic administration could successfully
conduct the affairs of the party, with the
official machinery of ita great and mortal
enemy, the Republican party.
In the midst of the storm of oppiobrinm,
misrepresentation and undisguised lying
hurled at us by ignorant, short-sighted and
in some instances malignant contempora
ries, tho growth of our business in all de
partments gave evidence that we had reach
ed the minds of the sober, thinking and in-
d-gendent public.
'Die situation of the party to-day is ample
vindication of the sound foresight and fear
lessness of the Tzlkgkai’H.
Holding but one branch of the National
Congress, the party is torn nnd distracted
in council, dissatisfied with the adminis
tration of its affairs, and ripe to engage in
an attack upon the Chief Executive on the
silver question, an issue that in no way
belongs to a sectional or partisan policy,
Tije period has arrived w hen tho Demo
cratic party Bhonid put Mr. Cleveland be.
hind it, and devote every energy to tho hus
banding apd employment of nil of its power
nnd resources for its own present safety
and permanent nsefnlncss. When the
safest and most experienced leaders of the
party consider that n conflict between the
Executive and the Senate may bring the
President to nn understanding of his just
responsibility to the party which has eleva
ted him, and in tho nbsenco of this the loss
of the House ot Representatives to the Dc
mocracy at the coming Congressional elec
tions may subserve this puipose, Ihertis
little left to be said to reasonable and think
ing men.
Beyond (he hope held ont in these con
tingencies there is nothing to be expected
of the President, who holds himself ns bet
ter und above his party, and who entertains
visionary notions of the formation of n par
ty composed of tho better elements of both
of the present parties.
There is nothing in sight or expectation
to warrant the belief, that three years more
of the policy of the lust will intrench the
Democratic party in power for tho coming
twenty-live years.
Tin-re are grounds for grave apprehension
that if beaten at the polls at the next
Presidential election, it will go into a mi
nority, for a long nnd weary scries of years.
There is nothing to he made by a fight n]Kin
the Preaident over the offices. His ''amiable
obaUnacy” la likely to be strengthened rather
tbnn weakened. Bnt the Democratic party
owes a duty to it'.elf and the country. Up
on it depends the hope of good and elcun
government for the futura and the correc.

push It should proceed, with cau
tion, courage and vigilance,
put itself so plainly upon the record upon
all vital issues that the next national con
vention, shall bo absolved from the task of
going before the country with a double
headed platform, nnd a leader whose in
spiration shall come from bis own sublime
complacency, or the advico of a handful of
political free lances.
There can be bnt two great competing
parties in this country, to wrtstio for the
control of the government. Upou the
flank of one of tbeso hong the bushwhack
ers and deserters from its own ranks. The
other is threatened with the catting of its
communications liy a hand of fools, knaves
and honest fanatics, who, inspired by local
aucoesses, hope to attaiq power by forcing
a moral issne into politic*.
The danger is great and imminent, and
the Democratic party must look to itself
alone for the wladom, strength and nnily
to avert it.
Whenever Mr. Cleveland shall approach
to the Democratic party near enough to be
in aympathy with it, he should be wel
comed and sustained. In all else the port
of wisdom in this organization will bo to
abape its tutnre destinies in entire inde
pendence of hie peculiar views and wishes.

Sometime since it was announced that
Fleming G. DuBignon, Esq., solicitor-gen
eral of the Eastern circuit, had been re
tained by the Attorney-General to prosecute
a moonshiner in the United States District
Court at Savannah. .
This is th i sequel as related by the Sa
vannah Times:
“Thomas Johnson, the Montgomery
connty moonshiner, convicted on Satur
day night, was the first one that has legally
been punished by a verdict in the United
States Court, end sent to Albany, N. Y., the
government penitentiary, since Abram
Barge was sentenced two years sgo for
forging orders. Hu conviction was
somewhat of a surprise, and the
government witneaeee even did not expect
such a result. The case was pros
ecuted ably, and not a point was
left in which the defense coaid find a
weak or an assailable position. Johnson
was excellently well defended, and hia tal
ented lawyer worked with zeal and ability
to properly present his ceae and secure if
possible hie acquittal. Notwithstanding all
this the accused was convicted, and many
were surprised, simply because the plea of
not guilty ravened the usual and ordinary
ran of criminal cases in the United States
Court in this district, when nine ont of ten
prisoner* *r* acquitted. The court wa
lenient with the prisoner, and gave him the
tightest penalty it could impo«* in th*
shape of imprisonment,”
The retention of Mr. DnBignon was a
virtual reflection upon United States Dis
trict Attorney Darnell, for there is nothing
intricate or difficult in the prosecution of a
moonshiner, with the court always with the
prosecuting officer.
Judging from the result the confidence
in the ability of Mr. DuBignon, and the
lack of it so far as Mr. Darnell is concern
ed seems to have been well laid. Bnt this
very fact ploceB tho Department of Justice
or the administration in an embarrassing
attitude.
If the department could not rely upon
Mr. Darnell who is a Republican and an of
fensive one, why is he retained in so impor
tant a position?
He is best known to the people of Geor
gia as a brawling political orator. The citi
zens of Mucou, will recall the fact, that
while haranguing a crowd of negroes from
the bund stand within a stone's throw of
this office, a riot followed, which bnt for
the immediate presence of the police in
force might have been serious. Why is
Darnell retained and another man paid to
perform hia duty?
Con it be that the Senatorial boss to whom
the patronage of Georgia seems to have
been turned over, finds it diflicult to select
a Democrat for district attorney, who may
best further his Senatorial or Presidential
aspirations on the prohibition line?
At best this transaction reflects no credit
upon our Department of Justice.
Sliver.
It is no longer necessary for any man
who is waiting to see what Congress will do
with the silver question to postpone his
plans for future business operations. If
there were any doubts touching this matter,
prior to the debate in tho Senate, which
was opened by Mr. Deck, thoy heve been
dispelled liy the development in that body
of decided silver proclivities. Personal
contact with Senators who have not spoken
upon the question, nnd with members of
the House who nro making nctive prepara
tion for its coming disenssion, leaves no
doubt that the present law will be sustained
by a largo, perhaps overwhelming majority.
We believe tho position of President
Cleveland with reference to this question is
sound. It is in consonance with the almost
universal sentiment of our great financial
centres. From these wo must obtain at
laat the most intelligent and comprehen
sive views of this subtle und complex
problem.
We think the experience
will justify the statomeut that
policy has been successful
in proportion ns it has been adjusted upon
the judgment of men who have made
finance a study nnd business. I
We have reached the point, however,
when such advico is spurned by Congreee,
and it is clear that the warning! of our
financiers that tho further compulsory coin-
ngo of silver is fraught with danger; an to
be wholly disregarded.
While thoeo who opposo the present
law nre confident that without repeal it
must end in disaater, its friends nre equally
certain that great proaperity must result
from its continued enforcement We con
fess that we do not share to the full extent
the apprehensions or hopes of either the
ndvocatea or opponents of silver coinage.
The advantages and dangers of either poliay
nro overstated by those who favor or oppose
one or the other.
Of ono fact there can he no doutt. Every
administration sinco silver was remonetized
has been dead against it The lavs passed
by Congress for the purpose of assnring its
circulation have either been enforced in a
fitful, half-hearted manner, or htve been
disregarded or openly violated and defied,
It is folly to say the people will not ac
cept it in the face of the fact that the trees
tiry holds eighty millions in gold which has
been sent in by them for silver certificates,
os shown by the report of Mr. Manning.
The administration of the treasury
ngainst silver, and the fact that it was de
monetized by a trick some years ago, have
made tho people suspicious of all those who
favor even a limit to its
coinage, and henea the House
of Representatives, which is closer to the
great masses than the Senate, is overwhelm
ingly in favor ol silver, while in the Senate
the sentiment is equally as decided, if the
majority ia not so large against any inter
ference with present policy.
We regret the partisan spirit that is man
ifest among the silver men. This precludes
the possibility of conservative action,
renders compromise out of the question
and will finally result, if they have the pow
er, in unlimited coinage.
It is apparent to any one who will care
fully note the situation in Washington, that
Congressmen who are disappointed and
disgusted with the President's policy with
reference to appointments, are preparing to
attack the administration through discus
sion of the ailver question. They are afraid
to make tho fight npon him on the score of
spoils, hut, impatient at delay in securing
appointments, they will show their resent
ment by arraying the people against him
on account of Lis position on this question.
The Impend lug Crists.
The Senate has demanded of the Presi
dent and hia secretaries all the paper* con
nected with the removal and appointment
of a United j .strict attorney in
Alabama. This n> a test case. The cabinet
meeting called to consider the demand
failed to reach a conclusion, but developed
some difference of opinion among the
President's advisers.
The precedents on this subject, are on
both sides of it. If the President yields,
the Senate under old Edmunds will bully
him out of his boots, and destroy hi* in
flnence wi.h hia party in the House.
If he refuse*, the Senators will go to the
departments, copy what papers they de
sire, and use the material thus obtained in
executive sessions. It locks aa though w*
are going to have a pretty mesa, between
partisan aggressions and “amiable ob
stinacy.’'
J. 8. Stewart A Son.
“The Central Georgia Bank, tbo Exchange
Bank, the Capital Bank and the Macon
Savings Bank, make the following state
ment:
“Messrs. J. 8. Stewart A Son have satis
factorily adjusted their indebtedness to the
banks, and they proceed with their busi
ness as heretofore. To the credit of Mr. J.
S. Stewart, although his transactions
looked fraudulent at the time of the fire, his
surrendering his entire property ha* re
deemed his character.”
The appearance of the foregoing state
ment in our columns some days since was
u surprise to the people of this city. It
was agreat 'mistake on the part of the
banks to have attempted to exonerate
Messrs. Stewart & Son from blame in con
nection with their recent financial trans
actions based npon bogus warehouse re
ceipt*.
It is very well known that this firm bor
rowed a laree amount of money, for which
they hypothecated cotton receipts, issued
by themselves as warehousemen, when they
did not have the cotton on hand as repre
sented on the face of tho receipts. The
hunks advanced this money npon their faith
in Messrs. Stewart & Son’s representations
that they held the cotton as specified in the
receipts. If they had not believed
the receipts were straight thoy would
not have made the advances, and
this fact was as well known to Messrs. Stew
art A Son rb to the bonks. When, therefore,
Messrs. Stewart A Son passed these worth
less receipts over the counters of the banks
nnd received advances upon them they knew
they wore practicing deception nnd perpe-
trating fraud, and no amount
of certification on the part of the hanks can
relieve them of the moral nnd legal conse
quences of their action. If the aonrts fail
to punish them, then indeed will overy man

censed to transact this class of business and

1886.—
An Unfortunate Cabinet OMcer.
Before the Chicago convention Mr. Vilns
was little known beyond his bailiwick. He
had distinguished himself by a sophmoric
speech at a banquet to General Grant, and
had been selected as ono of the speakers
when Watterson and others arranged to
have a free trade pow-wow. Perhaps he
had been a campaign orator in Wisconsin.
It wus unfortunate that custom had desig
nated him for a high appointment because
bo had been made permanent president of
tho Chicago convention. It was still more
linfortnnnte that ho shonid have been
placed at the head of a department demand
ing a broad, strong man. Mr. Vilaa is a
phrase-maker and a glib talker. Beyond this
there appoars to bo little in him. A late
Washington letter furnishes this pen-pho
tograph of him:
I'ostmoster-General Vilas is also a man
of wonderful conceit. He came to Wash
ington with the idea that he was a second
lloseoe Conkling. Vilas stands as straight
as Conkling, and he combs his hair in the
same way. He is said to look tike Conk-
ling, hut if he does it is the likeness of the
statuette to the statue, Vilas is a slim tit
tle fellow, of medium height, who struts
about Washington in a dapper way with a
fussy sir. I have called him before tho Si
mon Tappertit of tho cabinet, and I doubt
not, tike Simon, be often looks at his noble
form in tho glass, and, in the words of Tap
pertit, exclaims in his soul if not in words,
'Let sculptors have auch visions and chisel
cm out when they wake.' ”
His administration of the Postoffice De
partment has neither been wise nor satis
factory. It was he who burned the confl
dentlal circular as to “offensive partisans,'
which has given a Republican Senate fight
ing ground.
One ol his interpretations of an “offem
sive partisan” is said to be this: It a Re.
publican here at the South had done every
thing poeaiblo to lnealt and alarm the people
os an internal revenne collector, and Arthur
had made him a poetmaster at the eloee of
his administration, his conduct as Internal
revenne collector shonid oount ns nothing
against him. It is quite safe to say that
the Democratic party will accept no snch
interpretation. Nor is it strange, that in
the face of snch a rating, a Senator pro
nouncing a funeral eulogy npon Vice-Pres
ident Hendricks, shonid deem the occasion
fit, to assail the administration in this very
marked language:
He was a partisan in the highest and
best sense of the term; because be believed
that devotion to party was necessary to the
best interests of hie eonntry. He hod no
respect for a political a-stbeticiam which
could not distinguish friend from foe. Ask
ing and giving no quarter, he did not sprin
kle rosewater on tin enemies of bis party,
or give sweetmeat* to wolves ready to
