WHAT THEY THINK OF MAHONE
The Washington special of the Tunes
says the sentiment expressed in and out
of Congress regarding the Hill-Mahone
vow of 14th isas wide as party poli
tics. It is generally believed among the
well informed, however, that Hill made
his speech to produce just what it did
the smoking out of Mahone and to break
the Virginia Senator down in his own
State. The most enthusiastic Mabooe
man here does not believe that the pres

The New York Times, a leading repnd
lican organ, talks some sound scase in
speaking of Mahone, It says:
Gen, Mahone has made his fight to his
State professedly on the issue of repudia-
tion, If his present co-operation with
the Republicans involves the use of pat-
ronage in Virginia to promote that doe
trine it will be very dearly bought. The
party cannot sustain the public faith in
the nation and nurse repudiation in a
Btate. Such compromises are far-reach-
ig in their influence, and wherever it
aches that influence is vicious and an-
olesome.
re fp
Mahone, the Virginia Senator, whom
the republicans have bribed with the
promise of patronage, is the chief of the
Virginia debt repudiators and a rebel
general. Thro’ his vote the republicans
have gained control of the Senate, and
now think him a fit ally, altho’ during
last summer the republicans professed to
papers were filled with abuse of them.
This new alliance shows also the hypo-
crisy of their profession against rebel
brigadiers. Mosby was the worst of
rebel guerillas, but as soon as he joined
the repubs, they hugged him asa saint.
Now its Mahone, repudiator of honest
debts and rebel brigadier, whom they
are in bed with.

The Judiciary Committee will, at any
ry one-half the votes his party polled in
the late election. As for any bargain be-
tween the President and Mahone beyond
his to-day’s basket of flowers, there are
Republican members of Congress from
Virginia who have something to say and
will insist on saying it. Two of them
have already openly threatened that if
such a bargain was made on the basis of
Federal patronage im that State they
would vote with the Damocrats to organ
ize the House. They will go to any ex
treme to prevent Mahone from realizing
on his investment, It may be, after all,
that the Virginia Senator has, to use a
Western phrase, “bitten off more than he
can chaw.” Between the jealousy of Vir
ginia Republicans in and out of Congress,
the hgsility jof the Democrats in the
Senate and the scorn and contumely he
must meet at the hands of his deceived
constituents at home Mahone may con
clude the Readjuster’s life is not a happy
one. A notable comment with regard to
his position yesterday is that he was un~
prepared and failed to make the most of
it. His speech in cold type reads poorly
compared with the extemporanecus er
forts of Hill, Conkling, Hoar, Davis and
many other Senators, The situation was
one rarely vouchsafed to any public man
in a lifetime. He knew this beforehand,
but failed to grasp it with digoeity and
strength, and was driven to the resort of
the bully—a threat of personal violence
This is much that is said, boiled down.

The plan mapped out by the democrats
of the senate is to allow the Republicaus
to organize the committees and then tu
demand that the body shall proceed to
consider nominations without making
changes in the officers of the Senate.
This will precipitate a'conflict, and the
Democrats are determined that this bar-
gain made by the Republicans to Ma-
hone shall not be carried out this session
at any rate. The Democrats say that af- |
ter the committees are formed, if the Re- |
publicans insist upon changes of officers
and prolong the session the blame will
rest with the Republicans. The Demo-
crats will go before the country and say
that they were willing to proceed to
business, but that the Republicans are the
obstructionists. The feeling against Ma-
hone is so bitter that the Democrats will
use every endeavor to thwart him,

Post says Gen. Sherman,
in a recent letter to Gen. Hartranft com-
plimentary to the National Guard of
Peansylvania, as they appeared at the
inauguration of Garfield, says:
I have no doubt that the knowledge of
‘the existence of such a body of men, sub-
ject to the call of your Governor, and un-
der your orders, will add largely to a
sense of security for life and property in
the great Commonwealth of Penusylya
Our experience in this State does not
confirm the statement that the miliary
adds to a sense of security for life and
property in Pennsylvania. On the con-
trary, their presence adds fresh terror
where there are threatened outbrakes,
and as between a mob and the National
Guard, such as this community had a tri-
al of, give us the mob. The regulars are
quite a different kind of soldiers, who do
not get frightened at brickbats, nor fire
without orders, nor run without being
pursued. The next mob we have in this
Btate, we suggest the Governor ask for a
squad of regulars instead of regiments of

Flowers From Royal Hands
and the Royal Garden.
itis recorded by the different Waxh-
ington correspondents that Senator Ma-
hone of Virginia, the morning after he
voted with the Republicans, found on
his table a magnificent bouquet, from the
Government Gardens, with the compli-
ments of President and Mrs, Garfield.
This may be regarded as a very trivial
matter. Of what account is a bouquet,
many persons may ask.
There was a time when the difference
in color between a white rose and ared
rose signified a great deal.
So, it seems to us, this ostentatious
crowning with flowers the desk of a par-
ticular Senator, with the compliments of
the President and Mrs, Garfield, may
justly be looked upon as carrying with it
a disagreeable and hateful meaning.
First, it means that the President holds
himself in readiness to reward votes in
his favor—to pay for them. The gift of
flowers cannot signify less than that they
are to be followed by the bestowal of
patronage.
Again, it is a direct affront. It is a
declaration that the President believes
that United States Senators may be pat-
ronized by him.
Did the President ever live who would
have dared to place upon the table of
Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, Jobn
J. Crittenden, or Henry Clay a bouquet
as a token of White House approval of a
vote?
It 1s a little thing in itself, but very
significant. The flowers have no fra-
grance, but emit 3 .ateful and offensive
odor. So saysthe Sun,
nin
Senators declared they will not vote for
Gorbam becanse he divided the party in
California ; but these two dissenters will
be compelied to follow the dictates of the
caucus to save the organization.

The slaying of the Czaris the visable
harvest of the seed sown by Michael
Bakunin, who may be ealled the futher
of Nihilism, who said in the course of a
speech made in 1868 at Geneva: “Our
first work must be the destruction and
annihilation as it now exists, You must
accustom yourself to destroy everythiog,
the good with the bad; for if butan atom
of this old world remains the new will
never be created.” In another speech
the thoroughgoing Bakunin said : “Deeds
of political assassination and incendiar-
ism are not the offspring of any sentiment
of personal hatred or vengeance. We
know full well that one Emperor killed
will merely be succeeded by another,
who in his turn will again nominate the
chiefs of police. Such deeds are justified
by the necessity of rooting out from
men's minds the habit of respect for the
powers that be. The more attacks are
made on the Czar and his officials in-
crease the more will the people get to
understand the absurdity of the venera-
tion with which these personages have
been regarded for centuries.” Poor Byng

The Republican organization of the
House is not ome of the certainties of the
future. They had elected to the next
House before they lost Messrs. Morton,
Conger and Frye, 147 seats, just a mujori
ty. They counted on five or six Republi
can Greenbackers, but the present finan
cinl situation , the loss of the Funding bill
and the feeling aroused in the West by
the banks, makes the Greenbackers in
clined to think a good deal more of their
own organization than they did three
months ago. These areall reasons aguin:t
an extra session, And one will not be
called until existing vacancies are in the
way of being filled.
There is very positive talk about serie
ous dissensions having arisen in President
Garfleld’'s Cabinet over sppointments in
Pennsylvania and New York, four of the
members of the Cabinet inclining tv lis
ton to what are the demands of Senators
Cameron and Conkling in this re-pec,
while two of them show a disposition to
ignore the special desires of these Sena
tors, and the third, or seventh man, rath
er favors an equal division of the honors
and profits between the Republican fue-
tions of the two States concerned,

from Aodrew Eilicutt wo General Irvine,
the veeriug of popular sentiment on that
question ;
The treaty with Great Britain has a
length been carried into effect. The
tute of this treaty has been singular,
From being obnoxious to the people of
United States from one end of the Union
to the other it has now become a favo
rite and enjoys their warmest wishes,
All this magical change in a few months,
aud, although we are so highly gratified
with thus treaty, Great Briain scarcely
knows that it exists, The spoilstious

vur sexmen have continued unto this
hour without iutermission, but what ap

politics has been wholly changed since
1776, and if the fashionable doctrines
now taught be true, you, myselt and ali
the Whigs of that day were damnea

We ought to thunk Gud for our escape.
THE WAB OF 1813,
Mr. Gregg did not vote sgainst a decls-
ration of war in 1812, but be was of opinion
thatlit would be better not to declare war
until the country was better prepared to
prosecute it with vigor, While our trad-
ing vessels covered the ocean and our
hurbors and frontiers were defenseless,
and the government without arms, soldiers
or money, he believed it inexpediont to
rush into a conflict with the most powerful
nation in Europe, then completely prepars
ed for military and naval eperations, Hp
accordingly used his influence to prevent
a declaration at that time and to precure
he issuing of letters of marque and repris
sul to protect our own commerce and
bring the British Government to reason
by retaliating upon theirs. The disasters
we should enter upen it not with divided
but, as far as practicable, with united
councils, and he supported it as became »
friend to his country and a Senator of the
United Siates.
A careful survey of Mr, Grogg's politi-
cal history indicntes that although, he hud
strong party predilections, he wus remarks
uble for his independonce of character,
nlways acting according to the convictions
of his own mind, even though they somes

frior.ds; that ho was in fact what he was
