What Will It Do I Ten years ago the Democratic party was writhing in the throes of death. The adniitiistratixn of Janv s Buchanan was drawing to a close. It was a com plete failure. During its term of exist r uce the IVmocratic financial and com mercial policy was brought to a focus, and to-dar. as we look back at the resnlt of that policy, we are greatly refreshed with the facts that it pre cents. We see that the business of the country was prostrated, brought to a stand still ; that the batiks were either broken lip or closed; that property, such as houses and lands, scarcely payed the taxes and j nd Lee were taking their departure up the expenses of "keeping them np ;" Bebel Insolence. . On Tuesday, the 13th inst , Mr. Mo Creery, of Kentucky, offered in the Uni ted States Senate a joint resolution for the benefit of Mrs. Robert E. Lee. This resolution provided Tor the restoration of the Arlington estate to its former own er, Mrs. Gen. Lee ; it also provided for the payment to her of rent for the occu pancy of the property from tbe time that it has been in public use; it also provi ded for the removal of the thousands of Union soldiers, who are buried on the property. Mr. McCreery took ad van- tage of the occasion and delivered speech highly eulogistic of the great rebel, Gen. Lee. A number of Senators replied to this insolence, in spirited speech es, lion. John Scott, one of Pennsylv nia's Senators, was among the number who stood np in their places and east back tbe insolence. Kead Lis speech. Here it is. Mr. Scott said : Mr. President, it may be that long ser vice in this Chamber has enabled some Senators so to control their feelings that it is deemed diguifitd not to give expres sion to tbem. It may be, sir, that it is even prudent aud that older Senators have learned that prudeuce, not to at tempt to give utterance to sentiments when we teel that they are strong ones, sir, even at the risk of being imprudent, 1 cannot refrain from giving utterance to the seutiments which swelled np in my boson when 1 heard the opening scutences of the Senator from Kentucky. 1 hose opening sentences uttered m this Cham ber, coupling together the names of Thomas and of Lee, brought back to my recollection the utterance of a Senator I who once occupied a seat in this Cham ber, aud made at the time when Ihomas that the pnplic credit had been reduced to a point lower than it had ever been be fore; that the Government itself was ac tually a beeser on the streets of our on the paths that were presented them Stephen A. Douglas declared at that hour, that from that day hence there were but two classes in the nation patriots and traitors. And, sir, another feeling arose when I hi. i. . . . i. . i - . ;,- r . . . , . recalled mat sentiment, it was tins: i cities tor money at 1Z per cent., ana , , .... , T . ... , r have heard it elsewhere, I repeat it here. that since the day when the sword flam- Hut this is not the only notable, the e(j ,t the east gate of Eden there has only tepulsivc feature of James Buchan-.' never been such an exhibition of mag aus administration. At its iugoing it nauimity and of mercy as there has been f 3 i, ii .,: . .,;.. by the United States toward those who found the Democratic party a unit; at J , - , , in. . . . . , 1 , , , , engaged in the late rebellion : and it was its outgoing it left it shattered and broken, j illustrated to-day. when the Senate of and one portion of the party in actual ! the United States could sit in patience reU'llum against the Government. Tins . and listen to a eulogy upon the man who is tiuc. It is the record, and time itself cannot efface it. Dreadful days were those. Appalling to the people were the acts of the Democratic leaders The people of the Noith were shocked as they uever before had been. They look ed on with amazement at the woiking of the great leaders of the Democratic party. This was the critical time for President liuehanan. He failed ; he turned Lis face in the wrong direction. If he had thrown himself npon the country, relying entirely on patriotism, as did Andrew Jackson when nullification reared its ugly form, he could have most likely paved his party from dismemberment and tbe ruin of the party for ten years. What effect such a course would have "had on the Republican party it is not onr pur pose here to ak. Hut James Buchanan pursued no such wise course. His pa triotism was lost in Lis fealty to the great Democratic pro-slavery leaders of the South. They were Lis idols, and in their dreadful bloody debauchery they dragged bim, his administration, aud his party to au ignoble end. The Democrat ic leaders South gave the country the rebellion. Its startling tocsins souuded the dinnembermcut of the Democratic party North. The mass of the Democ racy North would not bci.d to the will of the rebel leader.-!, and the party fell to pieces. The sympathizing leaders were compelled to shrink away in silence be fore the popular wrath, and they for a time were not heard of. The first inti- mat ion that the country received that on that day started oat in the path of treason. Has it ever been, sir, that such a rebel lion against constituted government, car ried on for years, has terminated not sim ply without the execution of a single criminal for treason, but without even a tri.il for the purpose of defining the law of treason 1 And Las it ever been before that the highest legislative tribunal of any nation has rat in patience and listen ed to a eulogy upon the chief conspira tor" engaged in tearing that Government down ? If the man upon whom this eulogy has been pronounced bad been successful in the efforts in which the laurels this day thrown over his grave were won, where would tiits Senate nave been sitting I Carted.

News from Paris states that the peo ple have not been discouraged by the de feat of the army of tbe Loire. Their fresh meat consists of horse flesh. They have no light ; the supply of gas has given out. Gen. DePaladines has with drawn from the service. The-Prussians no longer menace Havre. The army of the Loire has been heavily reinforced. It has been divided into four grand divi sions, commanded by Generals Chanzy, Bourbake. Jaures, and Jauressiberry Tub tenth anuual session of the Union League of America was held in Philadelphia at the rooms of the Nation al Union Club, on the 14th inst. The League Council disavowed their inten tion of interfering in the making of nominations by the adoption of the fol lowing resolution : Reunited, That it is not the province of the Union League of America as an organization to interfere in making politi cal nominations, and the councils through out the Union are hereby instructed to confine themselves to the great work of consolidating aud making successful the great Republican party of the country. As we go to press the news from Phil adelphia is that the Democracy have car ried the First District in the election held yesterday for State Senator. The "little Chairman " from Juniata was in the city a few days ago, and that's " Watt's the matter." A fierce local war is now going on in Maryland in reference to the right of shooting ducks and wild game in Chesa peake Bay. The owners of the shore dispute the right of others to bag the birds.

One mistakeafteranother occurring, the leaders increased their Lurrahs a thou- and times sgamst mem, ana not once laid down a course that wa favorable to the Government. Opposition became the political creed of the Northern leaders. Examine their platforms of the times of which we speak, and see their record. Their opposition gradually won back to them numbers of their party who forsook it when the rebellion first broke forth. Through fault-finding they have brought themselves to their present strength. They have no openly avowed principles to give tbem life. Opposition is the life Mood of their organization ; it gathers and holds the mass of the Democracy. This persistent opposition to everything done by the Government, conpled with tbe election of Ex-Governor Vance, of North Carolina to the United States Sen ate, and his threats of retaliation in case of restoration to power, and the lectures of John Surratt, so full of denunciations against the Government that crushed the rebellion, and the impudent demand made in the United States Senate by a Senator from Kentucky, that the Arlington estate should be returned to Mrs. Gen. Lee, and that rent should be payed for the occu pancy of the property by the United rotates and also that the bodies of the Untou soldiers should be removed, bave caused tbe county to ask, what will tbe Democracy do, if it gets the power of tbe national Government ? Viewing the conduct of such leaders as Vance, McCreery and Surratt, it is a natural question to ask, what will it do T The declaration that King William intends to annex Luxemburg to Prussia has again ' set European diplomatist in a flurry.'

It consisted of a man. woman and three children, who were utterly naked, but covered with dense hair. They could not speak, but only utter unintelligible sounds.
