The Somerset Herald STSUKWSUAT December H. WTT. Mr. John W. Garrett mint week elcrtefl l'reoident of tbe Paltimw A Ohio Kallrnad Company for tbe twen tieth time Thb Indiaa-poli Journal waroa l'retidcnt Hayes; that if he decline to adriec freely with llopiblicans, be may wake up some Ece morning and fiod himself without organized aup port i Congre. The Journal wye tbe President is a good iLepublicao, but he is neither good enoogb nor great enough lobe able to adrairater this government witboota party. The Pemocrau in Congress pro pose raising a half dozen new commii teee with power to go nosing around tbe departments, to etnell out if pos sible something from which political capital can be manufactured. A pre tious eeseion was devoted almost exclusively to tbe peep-hole business, to the exclusion of legitimate legisla tion l!y all means let us have the new committees. Incapable of orig inatiug any policy of their own, and existing only as obstructionists, about tbe best use tbe averape Pemocratic Congressmen can be put to, is play ing dog, layiog on the cold trail of political adTerearU s. The Albany Journal has arrived at tbe conclusion that conciliation does not conciliate, and, quoting tbe recent utterances of Pemocratic pa pers in South Carolina, eays: "These words mean that at tbe chief city of a State which has been conciliated to the top of its bent, white Pemocrats are as intolerant, as vindicative, a mean, as un-American as ever. They mean that South Carolina, so far as Wade Hampton's party is concerned, still holes that a negro who has it in mind to vote tbe Il. publican ticket Las no rights which his political op ponents are not bound to violate." On Monday of last week Mr. Eus tis (Pern.) was admitted as a U. S. Senator fretn Louisiana Tne Senate is full for tbe Erst time for notnc years, tbe body being com posed of 7 - Senator", 39 of w hom are Republicans and 3? Pemocrats, classing Tatterson and Conover with tbe Republicans and Davis with the Pemocrats. Eustis by tbe way proves the truth of the old adage 'there Is lock in leisure." He gets nearly fonr years ot back pay, about $20,000, besides two or three thous and dollars mileage, while contesting the seat, and for all tbe time be draws this handsome arrearage cf salary, he was a member of the Louisiana State Senate, gettinir his pay, and assisting his white league brethren to bull doze tbe Republicans out of the State. Mc. CuifnoLM. the widow of the murdered Judge 3itbolm, of Mist-ia-eippi, and mother of tbe brave young girl who gave up her own life in trying to defend that of ber father, recently said to a correspondent of tbe Cincinnati Gazette : "The curse of God is on Kemper county, and it will remain and tbey cannot prosper." Tbe murderers of ber husband and daughter b1h de scribes as old residents, who repre sented all religions. There were Catholics, Presbyterian ciders and Methodist class-leaders, one of whom had often labored for the good of the C'bibbolm family. At a camp meet ing this man had 6hocted at a great rate, and, throwing his arms around Mr. CLihLolm's neck, cried out, "All you lack. Judge, is religion and the pious exhorter, she says, helped to kill her husband. If any woman in the sunny South b&& cause to be cynical, not merely as to National pacification and Civil Service Re form, but even as to the commonest instincts of humanity, it is Mrs. Chis tiolm. Te strtggle between tbe Presi dent and tbe Republicans in the Senate, culminated on Wednesday last, and tbe result was tbe rejec tion by a vote of 21 to 25 of Lis ap pointee tor Collector and Naval officer, for tbe po.t of New York Of those voting in favor of confirm ing tbe Presidential nominations, all save six, were Pemocrats, while the vote cast against tbera was composed of 2 Republicans and 3 Pemocrats. Thus tbe Trepident is virtually with out a party in tbe Senate, and witb a majority against him to both houses of Congress. These nominations were not re jected because tbey were improper ones, so (ar as tie character and iuali fixations of the nominees are concerned, but because the present incumbents, who are entirelj accept able, and men if admittel ability and integrity, have not yet nerved ont the time for which they were ap pointed, and their removal wouH be squarely in violation of the Civil Ser vice policy laid down by tbe Presi dent himself, that competent and efficient officials ehould not be re moved, except for cause. This in cident Las created considerable ex citement in political circles, and a strong effort Is being made by the mischief making portion of the press to create the impression that tbe af fair fs simply a personal attack of Senator Cockling on the President Tbe New York Times, that every one knows is hostile to Mr. Conkling, ! takes a different view of tbe matter j and eays: j tic iTcfcuicuiuugui to unucrsunu, as he docs not sacra to dot, that if a Urc part of the mnt earnest Republicans in the Mute and throwpbout the country are eith er tusuie indiflereo'rr weary by the course Lie AdniiuustraUtc, it is not because 1U7 do not heartily desire reform ; it it not because they do n A wish to see the Standard of political action made higher; it is not tucaovetbey are at heartily in fa vor ol coetlacung tbttlMisinwan ot the Gov- irtiuotil y tsuaiqia uwlhvtia.

St ill, ourj readers tnv teel some iou-rest in the! following report of an interview be tween the Prefid- nt and him which we find in diripaU-bes from Wac bin?- ton. Tbe Senator from Snath Canons ! tolrlth VrmAM. frntiklr that . i. i nolicv of bia Admioitrtioa tuwnrrJ t tbe South, since the 4tb of lart Mrcb, bad destrojed tbe Kepubliran party there. Wben a.-ked wtiat hi? rcnsoiiF were for expressing such aa opinion. Mr. ratterson relerred to the lesis- lature of South Carolina, which f merly bad a good workin! majority f Republicans, but now Las onlv "ne llenabllcan mnr:b'r a t in it. aaa even that one is about t i reslt-n. Mr. Tttterson also said that t.inee Wade Hampton Lad been placed in 'ffir-e by the President, not a Repub lican meeting had been held in the State of Sonth Carolina, and further, that he challenged the President to name a eirglc instance in which a Republican meeting had t-Aco place anywhere ia the South since tbi Administration came to power. "If yon will point to a single meetirrr," be said. "I will resign mv Feat in the Senate." Tbe President replied that he Lad never tboopht of thnt before, lie a lmitted that be did not remerrrje hearing of any such nieetiotr. Mr Patterson alRo directed bis attention to the fact that tbo neproos are vrrv fond of public raeetinfrs, and of taking oart in elections, but tbat now throughout the whole South, no ne gro can be induced to ?o to either, fearing that be would forfeit hi life if be should do so. Mr Pattersna accused the President of intrust in? the management cf the Republican party in the South to the Pemocrats lie begged that tbe Admicistration would give tbe Republican ia South Carolina a chance. He did not want soldiers, he said ; the party caa'get along: without an army ; but be want ed recognition for tbo Republicans white and black. TLe President thought it possible that tbe Senator was in error in re card to some of bis statement; but. Mr. Patterson quoted facts nd pave reference to prove what he said and which be told the President could not be gaiosayed. He professed to en tertain for tbe President tbe kindest personal feelings but be did not con ceal tbe fact that he thought his Southern policy was ruinoas lie bad protested against it t the Presi dent, be said, again and again, but no attention had been paid to Lis ap peals. He therefore decided to ap peal to tbe country and he had been answered. Mr Patterson told tbe President that his speech Lad gone from one end of tbe country to the other, and that be h td received ha v dreds of letters of congratulation and requests for printed copies He was not vain enough, he said, to suppose that this was doe to any personal popularity which bo posaessed, Imr it could be attributed only to the char acter of tbe fac's be sot forth, w!rcb appealed to everv Republican in the country. Even Republican Senators, he said bad ordered larg-? natures rt' copies of the ppceb. I ne t resident disclaim! J anv la tention of injuring the republican partT, and said he does not think h- baa done or is doing so. His coarse, he said, has been prompted by a de sire for peace and good feeling, and be believes there are sigas that it is steady at hand. He told Senator Patterson that he is always anxious to learn the facts and is always ac ccfsible. The Democrats in Congress ere again in troubleover their appointees. It is only two years eiccc they got control of the offices in the House, and have been compelled to make sundry changes.
