The Recofd.
The extra session of Congress has
been fruitful in developments, givirg
the people a clearer insight into the
principle and objects moving and act
uating the political parties in this
country than has been accorded for
many years. It has demonstrated the
fact that the same principles and
measures contended for by the old
Federal party are boldly avowed and
form the creed of the present Repub
lican party —the centralization of all
power in the National Government
and the repudiation of the doctrine of
the reserved rights of the States as
provided in the Constitution. This
was clearly made apparent by the
speech of Mr. Garfield, prepared with
great care and delivered in the House ,
of Representative on Friday last, in
which he denied that there was any j
sovereign power in the States and ar
gued in favor of the largest centrali
zation of power in the Federal Gov- j
eminent. This speech was made to
sustain Mr. Hayes in the position he
assumed that the National Govern
ment should be and remain in ps
session of the right by its military
and civil power, to police and control
elections in the States. Indeed the
same doctrine is embodied in nearly
every speech made in the Senate or
House to sustain the infamous ami
unwarranted vetoes of the Fraud in
the White House and was very hand
somely and effectually demolished by
Mr. Hurd in a speech in reply to Gar
field by reading article tenth of the
Constitution, which says : "The pow
ers not delegated to the I'nited States
by the Constitution nor prohibited hy
it to the States are reserved to the State*
respectively, or to the people." And
yet, in the face of this article of the
Constitution, our Republican friends,
in speech and in the press, speak of
the "exploded doctrine of State rights"
as if no such thing existed, and the
jieople and their States were mere
slaves of an over-shaddowing power
erected by fraud in the city of Wash
ington.

Hon. A. 11. Cotfroth, who represents the
17l)i District, was interrogated with tin?
following result:
V- What do you take to IH> the general
result, politically, of tho extra session ?
A. This extra session of Congress has
for the first time since the war aroused the
people to a true sense of the great danger
that environs our free Institutions and the
freedom of the citizen. At lirst this was
not properly understood by tho people,
and there was an impatient demand t<>
have Congress adjourn, but the discussion
on the Army and Judicial appropriation
hills has defined the true is.ue, and the
proplo are n>w far in advance of their
representatives in demanding a fair and
hottest election where the elector can dc
[aisit his ballot unawed by military or
federal civil power. They demand that
the military shall not interfere with our
elections, and that alt the odious laws
which authorize tho appointment of sujs-r
--visors and deputy marshals shall bo re
[>oa!"d. These laws were unlo-nrd of until
after tho war, and were passed by the
"bloody shirt" representatives to keep
themselves in power. These same men
now struggle to keep them in the statute
books, and as it was through these infam
ous laws that Hayes was fraudulently put
into the Presidency, we must expect that
he will oppose their r''|s-al. 1 look ujHin
this extra session of Congre-s as being of
great advantage to the Democratic party.
If our men had been here, as they should
have been, then we would ail the time
have had a quorum and wo could have
prevented the revolutionary flllibustering
of tho Republicans and much legislation
for the goad of the peeple would have been
passed. Thii extra session has had its ad
vantages and disadvantages, but, taking it
ail in all, the Dermxrats have g.xxl reason
to be gratified with the result.
V- What about tho troops and deputy
marshals ?
A. The Democrat* being in power in
both branches of Congress have mado the
Republican leaders They have
determined to regain jiower through the
army and by the use of debases], degraded
and desperate partisan deputy marshals.
In order to carry the election in IHH4I they
will have pi overrun theKouth with Irooj*
to drive the voters from the polls, and in
the larger cities of the north they will
resort to the appointment of felon* and
desperate characters as deputy marshals to
intimidate and terrify the voter. This is
their plan. Do*p*>rate people resort to
desperate means. Rut these means will
not succeed. 1 tell j'ou it has already
been decreed in the hearts of the Ameri
can people that tho next President shall he
a Democrat— a man who will approve the
repeal of all the odious and infamous law*
that trammel tho rights of the voter in
dep*>#iting his ballot. No military or civil
Federal interference will prevent the peo
ple from exercising their elective franchise
in the selection of a Democrat to the Presi
dency, and no frauds will prevent him
from being inaugurated.
if. The certainty that the Silver bill
would be vetoed, and the determination of
tho radicals to prevent any general legis
lation load thein with the responsibility
i of preventing any relief to the taxpayers,
I does it not 7
A. I certainly think Hayes would have
vetoed the Silver bill if it had passed tho
.Senate. The money power own him, and
he <los their bidding. It was impossible
| to pass any bill which would have given
| relief to the people in their financial dis
tress, because of the flllibustering of the
Republican*. These flllibusters should lie
held resfsinsiblc for their action by tho
people.
KLOT/..
Hon. Robert Klotz, of Maurh Chunk,
who represents the 11th District, was
asked :
If. " What do you think the effect of
the extra session will be on the country T"
A. "For tho last six weeks the effect
has been splendid. The peoplo begin to
understand the issue, and the general effect
is therefore good. You hsvo no idea how
many letters I have had from country
peoplo endorsing what we have done and
asking us to stand Arm."
<f. What dfes the light over troops and
deputy marshals at the polls mean 7
A. lam satisfied the Republicans know
that wßhout the troops and the marshals
they cannot carry the elections. It Is part
of the machinery to subvert the popular
will and make the minority rule the ma
jority ; part of the grand scheme of cen
tralization to control elections in the cities
until the money power, united with the
radical oligarchy of officeholders, can re
! gain possession of Congress and elect the
next President. The deputy marshals un
intended to frighten foreigners, and men
who fear being arrested and dutuined from
their work or business, away from the
poll#; many can he kept away by asserting
{ that their naturalization papers are illegal.
What is needed for Democratic suci ess Is,
that the people should he enlightened a#
jto the practical issues at sluke. The great
1 fault of the Democrat# in Congress is, that
they do not take advantage of their power
a# the llepiiblicali* do. If they had a little
backbone and would only stand firm they
1 might divide the patronage of this govern
ment with the Republican*. This would
only bo claiming a right on behalf of their
constituents. When wo do win we neglect
our friends. Why we ought to compel the
Republicans to divide the public advertis
ing of the Federal government with our
newspapers. Then we ought to have put
the political assessment hill, which the Re
publican* killed hy llllihu-lerillg, into the
Legislative appropriation hill, us a rider.
Hayes could hardly have vetoed that in
the faro of his civil service reform talk.
The clerk* would be glad to he protected
from this political black-mail.
Who is responsible for the failure
of Congress to do anything to relieve the
|H-oph• s burdens ?
A The refusal of the Republicans to
go into general legislation at this session
was part of the grand scheme t" allow the
country to go to destruction, originated
between John Sherman and the money
capitalist* of the country, in order to de
press pries that proja-rtv could be pur
chaied below its real value, thereby ena
bling them to get the valuable real estate
of the country into fewer hand* in order
to create a lamh-d and monied aristocracy
like those of the old world—thus central
izing capital as an adjunct to a centralized
government. This, with tlie mal-admini--
tration o| the pat ten years, and the with
drawing of their capital from furnace*,
rolling mills, coal mim-* and railroads, has
ruined our trade, especially in iron and
coal, so that it has brought all the o|x-ra
tor# to the verge of bankruptcy, and de
pressed !alir -o that hundred# of our l -l
workmen are now in a -tarving condition ;
and the Demos rats are piw rlo# to afford
any relief a# long as the Kserulive can
veto all the bill# they pa.

Horatio Seymour, in a late lefler, says,
in hia usual vigorous style : "All things
were rude and new sixty years ago, but
men were men in those days. The
stern, rough duties of life develo|>ed
character. Common interests, free as
sociation and the. duties or organising
! society made men wise and filled the
minds of those who lived in log cabins
with a sense of self respect and man
hood which we do not always see now in
great cities, in grand homes, and amid
the displays of wealth and luxury. I
have seen much of men, of social life,
of dignity in these days of our coun
try's greatness, but my mind turns back
with reverence and respect for the
strong, wise men who laid the founda
tion of our pros|erity. I am glad,
therefore, to see everything which lends
to keep alive in the minds of all men
their oidigations to their fathers. The
command that we should honor our an
cestors is not one that merely relates
to family duties; it does not merely
mean that those shall live long who hon
or their fathers and mothers, but itia a
grand political maxim which give* a*
aurance of enduring prosperity and
power to all people who reverently hear
in mind the virtue*, the toil* *nd the

Another awful catastrophe occurred
In-ie today, by which Mrs A. Holland,
of Paris, France, was swept over the
Horseshoe Fall in proacm-i-of her agon
iwd husband. On Wednesday ia-t Mr
arid Mr*. A. Holland,of IM Hue Mognau,
Pari*, arrived here from Chicago and
look rooms at the Falls Hotel. They
could apeak but Lille English, and for
that reason look their rucais ,t a Fn-iii h
restaurant opposite, kept t,y a fellow
countryman, named ,). Ji. ] Coin a in. Du
ring their visit hi re they vi-ilcd ail the
place* of intercut on both sid,-* of the
river, and were to start at noon today
tor New York, whence they were itu
mediately to sail for France. This
morning Mrs. Holland expressed a da
sire to pay a farewell visit to Goat lh
land, a# ntie had enjoyed most the mag
ll i(icon t scenery from that point. They
left their hotel at al-out o'clock, ami
leisurely walked over the bridge, taking
1 the rigiit hand road around the. island.
I hey Slopped on Luuw island, at the
( ave o| the \\ inds, and u!:,o paid a vj-it
m tin- point formerly occupied by the
. Terrapin Tower. They were in high
-pint# and enjoyed the glori u# wem-ry
to the fullest degree from the brink of
the precipice. They moved slowly up
the river hank, ever and anon slopping
to lake farewell glances until the three ;
"hster Island- were gamed. They cross
ed the lirst bridge, and in due time
also passed on to the last Sister, from
which the view up the river is grand be
yond the powers of description. For a
long tune they set upon a log silent
with admiration and then turned to re
trace their footsteps.
As they were bhuUt to step upon the
bridge leading from the third S:ter,
they d;-< overed the "lair# leading down
to the right of the bridge, looking to
wards the Canada shore. Anxious to
behold all the beauties of the fails. lh'-v
descended the few- step-, and. as the)
did so, met two gentlemen who were
corning up. They also saw a ioy dip
ping a cup of water from the river,
which he drank, and tiu-n followed af
ter the gentlemen referred to. A short
distance fr-mi the few steps leading
down under the trees the island ends
abruptly, the c ige of the hank ai-ove
ihe Water being about one foot in
height. Distant only af< w feet is stili
another i -land, v- ry small,and to which
ac.-c* is impossible. Between the third
Sister and tins little island the wau-r
11-w# with great velocity, and it wa
tbere that Mrs. JJ .Hand #,w the boy
'lip up the cup of water, filled with a
strange desire to drink from old Niaga
ra. Mr*. Holland asked her liu-hand lor
hi# traveling cup, which he took from
its morocco ca#o and ii a tided to her.
A# lie gave it to her he st# p|wd back a
few feet to get a better view of tiie river
alxive. and a* he did so site stooped over
the abrupt hank to fill her silver cup. i
A moment pael, and then a blood
curdling shriek was heard above the
rush and roar of Ihe waters, and the ,
husband turned just in time to see In#
wife topple for an instant and then
plunge headlong into th* resistless tor
rent. The husband rushed to the brink i
of the bank, but lie wa> j-nwerle#*. in |
a breath she w.s# washed awav upon the |
crest of the descending water, atid a i
moment later disappeared from view. |
the griel stricken husband #t'*>T and i
gazed after in# late companion, and a <
moment afterward saw bet appear uii|i i
the surface a few rod* la-low. I let i
white face for an instant turned toward
heaven, and the next instant her body
was caught in the resist leas fury of the
undertow and swept away forever.
i'he husband, frantic with grief, rush i
ed madly back to the restaurant and
into the presence of the proprietor,
batless and out of breath, exclaiming
:n French : "MyGsi ! My God IMy
God!" <>n being asked what the mat
ter was h<- clutched bis hair and sobbed
"My wife! my wife! my darling Ma
thihle! ' A# soon as he wa* aide to ex
plain he gave the facta already related
and watches were set to recover the
Irody should It appear in the river below.
This afternoon the A<n oorrespondent
had a talk with Mr. Holland, and from
him learned his history and that of his
wife. Two years ago Mr Holland was
married in I'aris to Mathilda I'reneux,
and since that time their life ha* l-een
a continual honeymoon. Wherever he
went she went also. Leaving Paris af
ter the Exhibition they went on a tour,
and during the |iast eight month#
have visited IndiA. Chin*, Japan. San
Francisco, Chicago and Niagaia Fall*.
The blow to the husband is overpower
ing. and he can only weep and exclaim :
"Afy poor Maihilde! my poor Ma
thilde !'* Mr*. Holland wa* 25 years of
age and i* reputed to have Iw-en a very '
handsome woman. Her htishand i#
II years of ago, and is a prominent
manufacturer of firearms at l/cige, Ik-I

with the almost forlorn hope of recov
ering Ihe remain* of hi* wife.

I lie New York Timet, in a leading
editorial, eondetimi the prevalent cus
tom of alluding to the frauds which
placed Mr. Ilatrs in office. It a-r.-rts
that that Mr. Thurnian and Mr. Bayard
and other Dcinocr a tic slate, men in both
llou-es of ( ongrear, are guilty of "raab,
I Unwarranted and perilous indulgence
of pattisun pasaion Because they have
► jaiken according to th.-,r conviction*
on this subject. The 7W* f|is back
on the decision of the Electoral f>.rn
mi-sion which, it says, "was clothed
with the authority to examine tin
giourid* uf the electoral 'iispute," and
hOida that the si tion of ' ongreaa, m
accepting and confirming the work of
that commi-Mon, so settled the whole
question that it is m the highest de
s"" improper to speak of Mr. Hayes'
title to the Presidency aa less sacred
than was that of Washington, .Jackaon
or Lincoln.
We agree with the T.mtt that the
commission "tu clothed with the au
thority to examine the grounds of the
electoral dispute But the Timet, and
everyliody eU, knows that the first
thing which the commission did was to
decide that it would not do the very
tiling it was created to do—"examine
the grounds of the dispute." The
Democratic party had its choice either
to ic-i-t this outrage on the part of the
commission, and thereby incur the ah
most certain risk of plunging the
country into revolutionary strife, or to
accept the [icarcful revolution which
the commission decreed when it refused
to " examine the grounds," and gave
the office to the candidate defeated at
the polls. It patriotically decided to
adopt the latter course so far as to ad -
uiit Mr. Hayes* de facto title, but it was
never guilty of the wrong, the infamy
of agreeing, even By implication, not to
hold up and denounce at all times and
in al! places, the crime committed in
setting aide the election of 1*76, the
men wiio were sharers in that iniquity,
and all who might become accomplices
after the faet.
1 in the contrary the I ternocratic party,
from the very first, regarded it as a
so.emn duty to keep this colossal crime
of the age before the gate of the tieople,
tiiat it might become more and more
hateful as time should pass, and that si
lenoe might not be construed into con
sent or approval, and thus encourage
repetition. There was never a more
imperative duty than the denunciation
of ail the varied infamies that constitu
ted the Presidential theft. Mr. Hayes'
de/atto title is respected, for the I>erno
cralic psrly prefers to suffer wrong
rather than plunge the country into tu
mult and di-graee. But there is not a
Democrat of high or low degree in all
this land who does not feel that he is
bound, as a patriot and as an honest
man, that it is Ins duty to the present
and coming generation, to make thn
revolution which put the minority on
top and the majority underneath, so
odious and so infamous in the sight of
all the world, that no party shall ever
dare attempt the like again.
I his is why the leading men of the
Democratic party s|.eak of Mr. Haves
as a fraudulent President. If they
lacked courage to thus speak the truth',
the masse* of the party would soon re
pudiate their leadership. It is quite
enough that a majority of the Ameri
can people endure the wrong that robs
them of the control of this government,
and keeps that control in the hand* of
the party bee ten in the election, for
the 77m,, to expect theni to l>c *ilent
and thu* stultify themselves and en
courage revolution, i* going quite too
far. Sir. Haye* will get no further
courtesy than such official recognition
of his i 'e factii title as is neoe**ary to the
proper running of the mechanism of
government. Whatever hard things
may be said of the Democratic party in
the future, it will never fall so low a* to
justly incur the charge of silent acquie*-
i*nce in the greatest crime ever per|>e
trated against three principle* on which
l>oth the Constitution of the United
state* and the Democratic party were
built.
