IT ghould not be forgottcu that it
takes over a quarter million dollars
annually to reward and pay the ras
cals who had a hand in stealing the
Presidency. They draw this amount
from the Hayes administration.
W. E. CHANDLER was accustomed,
not many months ago, to qteak of Mr.
Hayes in very coarse terms as a "trai
tor," who would sell out his party.
Now, Mr. Chandler having become
one of the back-bone setters, be pro
claims his fraudulency a "true repub
lican aud the hope of the party."
Well, he may be such, but it is a
Jor lorn hope nevertheless.
STANLEY MATTHEWS is said to ex
press a desire for the nomination of
Mr. Tilden as the democratic candi
date for President in 1880, to ascer
tain whether "he can be elected again."
Well, it is not at all unlikely he will
be gratified both in Mr. Tilden's nomi
nation and election. If so, be assured
he will not again be defrauded—no
8 to 7 commission will seat his com
petitor.
IT is said the only presidential bur
glars Mr. Hayes has not yet rewarded
and placed upon the pay roll of the
Treasury is Jim Anderson, Bill Chand
ler, Eliza Pinkerton and Agnes Jenks.
The only exception to this roll of
worthies, that might be added, is per
haps Zach. Chandler. He was not at
New Orleans or Florida, but wa
prominent in fixing up for the rogues
that were there.
THE police of Chicago arc keeping
a sharp watch upon the communists
of that city at this time. That or
ganization, it ia alleged, have, within a
few days, distributed over 13,000
rounds of ammunition and 100 stand
of arms. What these war prepara
tions mean is unknown, but it is pro
liable it bas no significance beyond the
celebration of the uprising in Paris,
the anniversary of which, we believe,
is on or about the 22d of March.
To HAVE expense, the congressional
election in lowa was held in October ,
at the state election, instead of No
vember as required by the act of con
gress. This will probably give rise to
some difficulty in seating all the mem
bers from lowa. Two or three mem
bers elected in October, to make
things doubly sure, again run the po
litical gauntlet in November, but they
will have no certificates for the elec
tion in November, they having been
given in the October election. It is
somewhat mixed.
RIOT DAMAOES. —By request, we
publish in another column "The plea
of Allegheny County" in favor of the
State assuming the riot damages, a
bill for which is now before the legis
lature. In doing so, we do not adopt
the views expressed in the paper or
favor the passage of the bill. The
question of the liability of the State,
or of Allegheny county is in issue.
It is calmly and respectfully discussed
in the paper, and however it may re.
suit, is one of great hardship, and
should be decided with the calm judg
ment of our representatives, and at
least not be set up as a lobby job in
the interest of roosters who may by ac
cident or corruption occupy seats io
(be legislature.
A Nice (•ante Spoiled.
The nice little game of Mr. Hayes
and hia friends, culling the extru K
sion of congress at us early a dute us
the 18th, a time when it was believed
it would not be possible for the sick
members to be present, to participate
in the organization, has been frustrated
by the recuperative energy of the sick
members, aud the rallying power of
the democracy when put upon their
inetal. The members are all present.
Neither Mr. Garfield nor Judge Kel
ley are therefore elected Speaker, und
the object of the disagreement on their
part is a failure. A Washington pa
lter says," A short time before congress
adjourned, on the 4th inst., Mr. Gar
field said to Mr. Blackburn and sev
eral others : "Well, it's now too late
to hope for any agreement. The con
ference committees have finally dis
agreed, and, as a matter of course, an
extra session must come. Now, when
do you democrats suppose it will be
called ?"
" Oh, pretty soon ; about the 20th
of this mouth, perhaps," suggested
Mr. Blackburn.
" You are within two days of it. It
will be called to meet on the lHth,
ami you democrats have overreached
yourselves."
"How?" was asked.
" Because you have a few sick and
disabled members who can't IKS here
by that time, and without them you
won't have votes enough to organize
the house," retorted (iarfield cxult
iDgly.
Before the adjournment Charles
Foster had a copy of Hayes' procla
mation in his pocket; he said so after
wards. These two circumstances furn
ish conclusive proof that the calling
of the extra session at once was a
Radical scheme and that they exacted
to have the democrats at disadvant
age. Their plan was to make (iarfield
speaker if it could be \loue, but the
thing wouldn't work."
CONORERS convened on Tuesday
last in extra session, and for the first
time in many years with a democratic
majority in both Houses. The agitat
ing question of the session will IK; the
repeal of those infumous laws enacted ;
by the republican party in their long
lease of power to hold ami control the
elections of the people, regardless of;
any desire that might be apparent for
the change of either men or measures.
Prominent among these are those pro
scribing the intelligent white mnn of
the South, and making him subordi
nate to the ignorant negro, as in the
Jury test oath, the Federal supervi
sors of election, the employment of the
Federal troops, and thousands of arm
ed deputy marshals, to overawe and
prevent a fair expression of the people
by the ballot. These infamous ineas- 1
ures will have to give place to intelli
gent and fair legislation, or the ad
ministration will IK- short of funds to
to make them effective hereafter. It |
is not to he supposed the democrats
will surrender their vantage now that
they have the power to correct these
oppressive political outrages upon the
people. The threat of the man in the
White House, or his stalwart parti/an,
to make free use of the veto to prevent
these reforms, should only stimulate
1 the majority to determined anil thor
! ough action, and warn the fraud to be
careful that he does not overstep the
bounds of discretion and prudence.
The elections should be free in the
states, and the people allowed to choose
their rcprenentatives without being
subject to either the Federal troops, or
the thousands of marshals, whose work
was so recently traced under the man
agement of the notorious Davenport of
New York. This freedom Congress
have met to wrest from the vandals,
and good people bid them Qod speed.
THF. breach of promise ease of Mrs.
Mary B.Oliver against the Hou. Simon
Cameron, was again before the Court
of the District of Columbia last week,
on a motion to set a day for trial. The
ease is on the calender, but the court
declined to take it up out of order.
Mrs. Oliver claims $50,000 damages,
and no doubt would be quite as happy
in receipt of the money as in the em
brace of the veteran ex-Senator.
IT is intimated by the Stalwarts of
the Chandler stripe, that Mr. Mayes
is getting up a large stock of back
bone and muscle, preparatory to a tilt
with congress on the question of the
repeal of the test oath and troop
management of elections.

THK body of Bayard Taylor wan re

Gillert, on Thursday last, with impos

WAMUXOTOR, March s.—The constitu
tionality of the legal-tender act, ao far
aa it applies to the issue of government
note* in time of peace, having the qual
ity of legal tender (or private debts, ia
about to be brought to a teat in the
Courts, and of course finally In the So

Mr. 8. B. Chittenden, mem!>er of Con

The New Departure,
AH the long-standing controversies of
of our politics, all conflict*, intrigues,
and schemes respecting office* and can
didates, all the ordinary political que*,
lions of the day, says the New York
Sun, must sink into comparative unim
portance in view of th more vital and
momentous issue which has been raised
and which is soon to absorb the atten
tion of the people to a degree without
precedent, unless we may find one in
the times of the civil war and of recon
struction.
This great and over mastering issue
is briefly whether the constitutional
prerogative of the Kepreseritulivcs of
the people shall be maintained and en
forced against the will of a party and
the dictation of the Executive.
What is this prerogative? It is set
forth in the first article and seventh
section of the Constitution of the United
States; "All bills for raising revenue
"bull originate in the House of l>pre
sentatives." In other words, the House
of Hepresentatives has exclusive origi
nal power over the purse of the nation.
It is the right and duty of the House to
determine for what purpose the money
of the people shall be appropriated.
Ibis is what makes the House peculiar
ly the guardian of liberty. When it is
called upon to appropriate money to be
used for purpose* hostile to liberty, it is
the duty of the House to refuse. It is
its duty likew i*e to stand firmly in such
refusal. Not one cent should it grant
for end* antagonistic to the spirit snd
the ancient uauages of our free govern
ment.
The cry is already raised that in in
sisting upon it# amendments to the ap
propriation hills, the late House ol
Representative# went beyond it*
authority, and that it had no right to
demand that these amendment* should
be enacted as the one condition with
out which appropriation* should not be
voted. This ia a false cry. The author
ity of the House ws* perfect, and it was
conferred by the Constitution for the
very |uir|>o*o of making it a barrier and
a bulwark against Executive encroach
ment* and against all undertaking* per
ilous to republican self-government.
The doctrine upon which the House
stood in insisting upon thewe amend
ments, was the essential doctrine of the
t onstitution. It wo* the venerable doc
trine of popular rights, decended to our
fathers and to u# from the ever memor
able struggles 1-etween the King and
the Commons of England.
In this doctrine there i* nothing new.
nothing revolutionary, nothing unsound
or doubtful. It is a doctrine centuries
old. It lie* at the root of our republi
can institutions. It is the very corner
stone of freedom.
The struggle is to lie renewed jn the
approaching extra session of Congress.
So we *re told hy the organs which
speak for the present Executive. Very
well; Welcome it! It is s wholesome
struggle, and not renewed a moment
too soon. A'e have no fear# re.pecting
the decision which the American peo
pie will finally record upon this great
question ; and once more we emphat
ically commend those wise and far-see
ing member* of the recent Congress
who raised thi# noble issue, lifting our
|K)litical interests out of the lower rut*
of personal ambition, local dispute*,
snd jetty objects into the high and
clear sir of constitutional and (terms
nent principles.
A urrBMCAK organ. the Pittsburg
Commercial (iaullt, tliink* the democrats
have not been at all successful hitherto
"in carrying through their |>o!itico legis
lative schemes." It ssys they started
out two year* ago to prevent t*be use of
the army at elections t.y larking their
plan a* a rider to the appropriation bill,
that the measure failed, and that an ex
tra session of congress wax held without
any result. The organ fail* to appreci
ate the result of that struggle. when
rongree* met in extra*eaion Mr. Hayes
formally ahandoned all pretention to
employ the army, a* it had lieen no
frequently employed by hi* predecen
•or. for interfering in the election*.
A great victory we* gained for thecau*e
of constitutional liberty by the resist
ance of the democrat* in congreM. No
President will hereafter dare to uae the
army a* it u ue<l by Grant to prop
up utttrpation* in the Mate*. The rep
reaentatire# of the people in eor<gre*s
are preparing for another victory. In
view of the approaching struggle the
organ from which we have quoted *ay:
"The jurorm' teat oath, the machinery
for drawing juror*, and the refusal to
have the army u*ed to keep the peace
at elections would have been conceded
at the Us* session had the democrat*
been willing to yield the supervisors
repeal," This is very true. The re
publicans have been driven from every
position but the last, but with a major
ity in the senate they held out a* long
as they could. They have nothing left
but the veto power in the hand* of a
Fraudulent Preeident to resist the de
mands of the representative* of the
people. With this last remnant of po
litical power they propose to fight the
two house* of congress for the super
visor law of which John I. Davenport
is the greet agent and exemplar. This
law is of a pattern with the rest of the
iniquitous partisan measures which the
republicans have been compelled to
abandon, and it must fall with them.
The (Vmwcro*/ Gasrtu utters the taunt
that "where a reel resistance is made
the democrat* cannot carry their pur
poses I" It will not be long before It
will be determined hoir much justice
there is in this taunt.- -lljmdmrp /V
