We shall i have to take the Demo-
eratic party by the ear and lead it
back, and confront it.with its record
and its utterances during thu Admin.

ation of General Gworr. That
party has a triel: of forgetting all it
has said and done at the end of every
live years. Its
leaders deprecate il
lusions to party action dating b4li
more then a year. They are always
saying something not pleasant to
member, and doing something they
make 'Taste to disclaim and, deny.
But prior to the time at which Mr

the:Tarty, the leaders had never been
able to devise a method by which to'
escape the ainsequenceg of their fol
lies 4 Mr. GREELEY never did any
thing by halves. lie• saw the disa-
bilityi under which the Demoed . ey

When caught in lies and inconsisten
cies, they pull on a lone,face and say,
" But that was a long tie ago—let
bygones be bygones."
But we cannot pen tit bygones to
be bygones. If the Repdblicans have
said and done foolish 'things, they
are held to account; and with the
best reason. That is th&way to make
Marty leaders` circumspect. We do
apt - cdaim the, ; „privilege of' oblivion
for the •Repul,tlicari pa,Tty, and shall
not admit such claims-urged by oar
opponents. We cite them:- to their

ambition, a National Greenback Con

\ .--
The forty-fifth Congress, which
came to an end , by constitutional
limitation at noon on the fourth of
March, having failed to make the
1 • \.
necessary appropriations for . carry.
\
ing on the governmenyt became the
,duty of the. President tO \ provide for
{an early meeting of the new \ Cougress,
'that the wheels of the government
might not be blocked for want, oflhel
;ITI ean sto pay expenses. Thiancees-
Isit,y was brought about by the e
fn
',tious course of the Democrati c`ma
jorityt in the House, who sought, to
force the minority and the President ,
into acquieseence with certain meas l,
ures which were deemed essential to
•
Democratic partisan success.
Prominent amongst, the unreasona
ble demands of the Democratic lead
ers, was the repealing of test-oaths
for United States jurors in the South;
repealing the law authorizing and
'paying United States Marshals and
Supervisors to regulate elections;
and repealing the clause of the army
law authorizing the use of Federal
troops at the elections. These unjust
demands were insisted upon by the
Democratic majority in the House,
with the alternative of an extra ses
sion if not conceded, and of with
holding the necessary approprktions
should the President inteilere with
his veto.
The persistency With which these
arrogant, demands were urged and
insisted upon was probaely strength
ened by the fact t hat the new Con
gress, which is called to meet on the
18th instant, will foe the first time iii
many years be Democratic in both
branches, and will be unmistaka
bly under, the control of the Con
federate or Southern element: In
the-Senate the Democrats will have
forty-two members, the Republicans
thirty-two, Independents one; so
that the .Democrats at the extra ses
sion will haven clear Majority of nine
votes. In the House, there are 287
A..
members elect. The Democratic vote
is put, by the best .judge 4 at 146 ;
the- Republican vote, 127; with 14
1
_members who were chosen by a corn
bination•of the Nationals with one or
the other of the great parties. In
this list is placed M.essis. WRIOLIT
and Yocum, of this State, who are,
we judge, good . enough Democrats
fur all practical purposes. In all
i events, the Democratic majority will
' be'suflicient to secure the control of
the organization in both bodies, and
to direct and mould their action;
The probable action Of Congress may
be reasonably inferred from the rev
olutionary disposition manifested by
the majority of the House which has
just ended its legal existence. The
sameLapirit will dominate the new
Congressin an enlarged degree, and
will force upon the Republicans and
the ExecutiVe the issues raised by
the factious contract of - the late
House. The assembling of Congress,
and the re-opening of these irritating
qUestions is a national calamity, but
the fault is not with the Republican
party. The responsibility rests with
the men and the party which would
wipe out of existence all legislation
that reminds the country of treason
and rebellion, and remove all the•ob-
I stacks Put in the way of illegal vot
ing and bull-dozing in the South.
1 The same intolerant, rebellious 'spirit
'that - brought , upon the nation the
horrors of civil war now dominates
in the councils of the land, and-the
result it is neither easy nor pleasant
to forecast. All the barriers broken
down that stood in the way of intim
idation of the voter and the corrup
tion :of the ballot-box; . all the re
quirements of loyalty and devotion
to the government removed ; all; the
guarantees of a free and untrammelled
. vote set aside, and 'the solid Smith
will be a unit in favor of the Demo
ceatie. candidate for President at the
next 'eleetiOn.
The great struggle is for the con
trol of all the branches of the gov
eminent. So long as the President
stands ready with his veto•to prevent
the - consummation of the- scheme of
plunder already matured, the De
mocracy will be unhappy, though the
country may be the gainer by it.
Congress will leave nothing undone
to promote the success of that party
at the next Presidential election.
Should it then succeed, the Union
and our institutions will be in greater
peril • than when - the first jun was,

Mr. President, , twenty years ago, I, in
company with Mt. Jefferson Davis, stood
up in this chamber; and, with him, 'swore
by Almighty God that I would 'support
the Constitution of the United States.
Jefferson Davis clop: from the Cabinet of
Franklin Pierce into the Senate, of. • the
' United States and took the oath with me
to be faithful to this Government. During
four years I sat in this body with Jeffer
son Davis and saw the preparations going
on from day to day for the overthrow of
this Government. With treason in his
heart and perjury upon his lips he took
the Oath to sustain the Government that
he meant to overthrow.
Sir, there was method in thisimadoessi.
He in co-operation with other men from
his section and in the Cabinet of Mr. Bu
chanan made careful preparation for the
event that was to follow. ir our armies
were scattered all over this broad land
where they could not be used in an emer
gency. Yonr fleets were scattered where
ever the Winds blew and water was found
to that them, where' they could not be
used to put down a rebellion. Your
Treasury was depleted until your bonds
bearing l per cent 'interest, payable in
coin, were sold. for 88 cents on the dollar
for current expenses and no buyers were
found. Preparations were carefully made.
Your arms were sold under an apparently
innocent clause in an army, bill providing
that the Secretary of War, might in his
discretion sell such aims as ho deemed fit .
for the Government to sell. •
Sir, eighteen years ago last month I sat
in this hall and listened to Jefferson Davis
delivering his farewell address, informing
us what our constitutional duties ‘,to the
government were, and then he left and
entered into a rebellion lo overthroir the
Government that be had sworn to serve.
I remained here,. sir, during the, whole
of that terrible rebellion. I saw our brave
soldiers by thousands—l might almost
say millions—as they passed on to the,
theatre of the war. I saw their shattered
ranks returning. I saw steamboat after
steamboat and railroad train after railroad
'trail] bringing back the wounded; I was
with my friend (pointing to General Burn
side, when be commanded the Army of
the Potomac, and saw piles of legs and
:inns that would make humanity shudder.•
I saw the widows and orphans made by
°this war.
31r. President, I little thought at that
time that I should live to hear in the Sen
ate,of the United States eulogies upon
Jefferson Davis living—a living rebel—on
the floor of the Senate of the United
States. Sir, lam agrazed to bear it, and
I can tell the eentlemen,on the other side
that they little -know the spirit of the
North when they, come here .at this day
with bravado on fheir lips, utter.ng eulo
gies upon him whom every man, woman
and child in the North believes to have
been a double-dyed traitor.

„Ttrr. Supreme Court of the State
Made a very important• decision last
week, which is of vital importance to
most owners of real estate. Under ex
isting rulings and practice holders of
properties purchased and sold” under
and subject" to a mortgage have been
held personally liable for the differ
ence between the face of the mort
gage and the proceeds of the sale of
the property, in case it has depreciat
ed below the amount of the mortgage.
Divested of its technicalities, afi
elaborate opinion delivered by the
Supreme Court, reverses the rulings
of the lower courts and a long exist
ing practice, ancl!makes the holder of
the mortgage dependent wholly upon
the property itself for his satisfaction
unless the ownerhas expressly prom
ised to be liable for any deficiency.
If the property falls in value below
the amount of the mortgage there is
no claim on the owner beyond what
is satisfied by the sale of the property
itself. TEN ruling settles a principle
of great importance to all owners of
real estate upon which there is any
mortgage.
OVER one million and five hundred
thousand dollars of, appropriations
made last year by the Legislat4e of
Pennsylvania remain unpiovided for.
There is no money in the Tres*miry
which can be applied fur the purpose
of payment, , except the money which
may be diverted from the sinking
fund. By proper legislation the
sinking fund money may be made
available tolpay present 'obligations
and to defray current expenses with
out resort to further taxation.
SHOULD the bill • now before the
Legislature making Lackawanna a
separate judicial district ,become a
law, it will be necessary for.the Gov
ernor to •appoint a judge for Luzerne
County. It is said that the place will
be tendered to STANLEY WOODWARD,
of Wilkesbarre. - Mr. W. is a son of
the late Judge WCiODWARD, has al
ways been a staunch democrat, but
supported the election of Gov. HOYT
upon personal grounds. lie would
adorn and dignify the bench.
Tna sight of JEFFERSON DAvis
drawing upon the United States
Treasury ( — fi - ra pension would not be
a peculiarly encouraging one to the
loyal people who spent their blood
and .treasure in maintaining the in
tegrity of the nation he sought to
destroy. But it. is within the'clear
probabilities of the near future.
Ex-Senator Saxon , Caatiaott cele
brated his 80th birty an Saturday
last, having been' born in the village
of Maytown, East ponspl township,
Lancaster eounty,. 'On the ' Bth of
Mitch. •1799; The house, in which
he was born is yet stiunliug. The
ndfather of General C. was
named SIMON CAMERON, who with
his brether, JOHN . CaMr.iolt, came
from the Highlindi of Scotland,
s the beginning of the Heroin-
On in company with a..Presbyteritut
clergyman named MAO . FARAPTARAIN
who preached at the D4negal church,
and the Cauttioss became tenant
farmers on the sharei of the glebe
lands belonging to the church. The
father was .CIMILLIIS CAMERON, and
his mother's name was Manna
PrOUTZ, a daughter of CONRAD
PIVOT; who resided near Strasburg,
Lancaster county. The Pro :Tura
were Huguenots, and came to
America, as did most of the German
Continental emigrants, that they
might enjoy 'religious liberty. The
father of General CAMBRON'S mother
'was evidently a man of considerable
ability, and was a companion of the,
celebrated SAM BRADY, famed for'
his daring in all the wars of his time,
and for his many adientures with, ,
and escapes from the hostile savages.
The General informs the editor of
the Lancaster Examiner, from which
paper we glean these 'genealogical
facts, "that all the talent I have,
came from the Proultvzss, all the
good I have from the teachings of
My mother, and her mother, and very
much of my inclination to "kick
back" from old CONRAD. and the
Scotch rebels."
\Few men attain the age of eighty
years retaining so much of mental
and \ physical vigor as General CAM
ERONI:Id the lives of few men are
crowded, with so many honors, and
the reminiscences of so many gen
erous and noble deeds.
AN animated contest for Speaker
of the House \ sis now going on be
tween RANDALL, who presided over
the late House, and Repiesentative
BLACKBUBN;of Kentucky. The con
test for the Democratic caucus nom
ination• is between these two gentle
men, and both profess ti;; be sanguine ,
of success. The Nationals claim a
sufficient number of votes to prevent
the election of the DemNtralic nomi
nee, if a coalition can be made with
the Republicans, but we Judge they
•are counting noses which, when the
time comes, will be found in the
straight Democratic- ranks. From
present indications we prophesy that
SAM RANDALL will easily capture the
Democratic nomination, and that he
will have votes enough to make him
Speaker of the next House. Proba
bly; will be generally as accepta
ble as any member who is likely to
be selected for the place.
AN interviewer from the Cincinnati
Commercial has been roaming about
the country talking with TILDEN
Democrats to find out who they de
sire to have nominated for President
in 1880, and he has come to the con
clusion that there is a very strong
feeling in favor of the renomination
of Mr. TILDSNJ This condition of
things is, perhaps, not wh`olly mar
vellous, and if lie will take a little
trouble he can find a very strong
sympathetic feeling among the Re
publicans for his renomination also.

ed vehemently at every step by the

Usurp Octal StUl.
When Henry Watterm said,
about a year ago, to Manton Moses
Marble,-" You and I are probably
the only two Democrats of any prom
inence in the country who would like
to see ,Sammy renomisated," he left
out of the select party of admirers of
Samuel J. a very important and in
fluential member in the person,. of
Samuel J. Tilden himself. This was
a great mistake. Mr. Watterson's
remark was true, and the Democracy
is in dreadful alarm, not of Tilden's
growing popularity with the party,
bat at the settled conviction St Gra
mercy Park that the proper thing to
do is to renominate Mr. Tilden. The
party has been undecided as to what
they ought to do with Tilden, but
bless their innocent - souls, the real
question is what will Mr. Tilden do
with the Democratic party. He has
sacrificed his reputation for intelli
gence to save 'his character for hon
esty. The scapegoat has started for
the wilderness, and the leaders who
had only-intended to give him a de
cent and respectable burial, find that
he is altogether too healthy for a
corpse.

Mr. Everhart, chairman of the special
joint committee appointed borne weeks
ago, for that purpose, submitted aPream.
ble and resolutions in reference to: the
death of- Bayard Taylor., The Senator
'followed the reading of 'gm report by the
Clerk with a mast eloquent and touching-
lq beautiful oration upon the : life and
character of the distinguished traveler;
historian and poet. He was listened to
with the most breathleals attention, by ev-
ery Senator that he inight.the better see the
orator, and
. catch every word of his im-
passioned eulogy, I When the happy ef
fort was concluded, the report was unani
mously adopted, as was a motion to print
2500 copies of the oration nand the pro
ceedings in the two Houses on the sub
ject, for the use of Senators and Mem
bers.
Fifty-lour bills were passed in the Sen
ate on Thursday, on second reading, but
as those of Wein that pass finally will - be
noted hereafter, it is not now deemed
necessary to give their titles.
The session of the, &into on Friday
was almost wholly taken up talking about
the judges' salary bill.. On Thursday last
it had been 'made the special order for
next Wednesday, but the vote fixing this
time for its consideration was reconsidered
.
to enaide a Senator to get an amendment
In giving the judge in his Clistrict4.l,ooo.
After thiS was done and several Senators
had given their views on tile till, it was
again made tiles pedal order for Wednes
day afternoon next.
.Senator Davies said while the talk was,
going on, as he Would necessarily be ab:
sent from • his seat in the Senate next
week when the bill - would probably be
considered, he desired, in 'the most em
phatic manner,. to put himself on record ,
against this bill, or any other increasing
the salaries of 'the judges, which he
claimed were now high enough, and that
not ten -of those on the bench made- as
much when practicing law. The . Sena
tor contended that this was no time for
increasing salaries. It may be added
that there is not the least danger of- the I
dill passing. , • •
In thellouse on Friday after the,trans•
action of \ routine business, the 'general
appropriation bill was reported favorably
from conniti c e. . . '
The rest lqf he day Yeas devoted to a
kind. of legislative circus, frequently in
dulged in on Friday, upona resolution to
place the Colurnbidam'removal bill, pre
viously reported With a negatlve - meow
mendation, ' upon the, calendar. After a
considerable amount o!\filibustering the
resolution was lost by a Vete of 30 to 122.
Senate adjourned until Tuesday morn
ing and the House'until Monday evening.
The Monotony of legislative - business
was relieved or varied a little oh Wednes;
day morning, during 'the session- hoofs,
in the rotunda, immediately ontiithi the
door of the Senate Chamber, wheret re
sort to personal violence was ihad, and a
member of the House of Representaties
assaulted Mr. N.. M. Jenkins, of Phil 7
adclphia Times. . Mr. Jenkins in aletter`
which appeared in. the Times, stated that
Rep. Petroff was meant in an affulairit
that spoke.of "Pete" in , connection With
something not exactly spuare in reference'
to the appropriation fur the Norristown
Asylum. Mi. Petroff, who was expelled
from the House in 1876, for „alleged ir
regularities, feeling aggrieed at the men
tion made of him in the Times, called out
its reporter, and upon that gentleman re
fusing to give the name of his informant,
dealt him a blow over the left eye. Mr.
Jenkins is a small, quiet,lineffensive look
ing little Quaker gentleman, a.non.resist.l
ant by education,.and apparently by in
elication, hence, it is g,ernaKilly thought
the fiery Frenchman did not. cover himself
with glory in striking a man who . could
not strike back. - . I •. .
Immediately after Petroff committed
this outrage, ,he :went hate( the . House,
where no cue knevi;` What he had done,
and made a statement about the "infernal
lie," as he called it, that had been told on
hint in the Ti.ini.e, when a resolution was
passed calling - upon Mr. Jenkins to give
his authority, .k.c. The\ next day Mr. J.
sent a respectful note to the!House justi
fying his conduct and denouncing:the at
tack made unon - him as an uncalled for
'outrage, but declining to' give the name
of his author. 'The members of the
House in the
,meantime, having learned
that Petroff had taken the matter into his
own bands, in the ruffianly manner he
did, appeared entirely willing to let the
matter drop. It is needless, perhaps, to
add, that the sympathy - 'oi - all decent
people is with the newspaper man,

IN 1867. during the
. great excitement
- which Oillowed the discovery of oil iu
Pennsylvania, •the King Oil Company was
formed in 31irbiletown, N. Y. The lease
of a large tract of laud from owners in
the Bradford district was secured. The
terms of the lease made it incumbent upon
the company to sink a well within two
miles of the tract. A well was sunk 900 feet
-200 hundred feet deeper • than usual at
that time, without finding oil.' .The stock
litdders became. discouraged and one after
the other, -they withdrew. Boring was
.finally discontinued, and the company
Ithrety up its lease.
Five years ago wells in" BradfOrd were
-sunk 1,1100 feet, resulting in the produc
tion of oil in large quantities. The tract
of land previously leased . by the King Oil
Company was situated in; the very heart
of the most Produetive belt - of the oil•ter
ritory: An effort was made by the corn
way to establish its title to the lands, but
it was found that the property bad been
sold and re-leased.aini was. covered with
Wells yielding more oil ',than- any of tte
other wells in that region. The-occupants
lefused to . acknowledge the validity of the
previous lease, whereupon , the company
sub-let its claim to an extensive operator
in oil at Bradford, with the understand
ing that the company's • title to the land
should be contested hi the courts: The
case came on in Lie lower courts several
months ago; and a deision was rendered
adverse to • the King Oil Company. An
appeal iitto.be taken. The present value
of the property is estimated at $2,000,-
000..
