The mild winter has been exceeding ly favorable, and never before, at this season of the year, laethe wheat looked so aell. jLt the present time the most dis tinguished southern men are Confed. erstes and the most odious and per secuted are the loyal southerners who stood by Union. Such is the Demo cratic notion of peace and conciliation. It looks as if the fcaokrupt law lad about run its race. A genersl acquiescence in its repeal appears to prevail in Congress. Persons who desire to bsre their debts wiped oat, or rather their estates consumed by this process, must make haste, ere it is too late. A consuming desire to pay 102 cent for more than one ninety-two cent dollar, is not manifested by the public. The mint has not got fairly to work yet, but the cashier has al ready got three times as much on band as there is any demand for, and the Secretary of the Treasury is bar ing his vaults clesred out prepsrstory to their storage. Tut Democratic State Committee has issued a call for the assembling of the Democratic State Convention at Pittsburg on the 22d ot May. The fight in the committee was sharp, but the wing of the psrty that thought an early Convention would perhaps bead off the greenback or "National party" movement carried tbeday. Now the wooing of the green backer will commence. "Won't you walk into my pirlor'' SM the spider to lb fly. fce. Til e National party bas begun to split already. A city convention was held in Cleveland a day or two ago, and resulted in a rtpture and a second convention. The leaden of the party were re out vehement in their denunci ations of Democrats and Republicans, declaring that no members of either of those parties could enter the new fold, and also that no admittance would be granted to "bondholders and bollionieta." The assemblage was small and impressive only in noi&e. Si sce the Supreme Court of Louis iana knocked the stuffing out of tbe Returning Board prosecutions, and ordered the release of Andersou, the Democrats have as poor an opinion -r . x. of its ability, as they have of the loyal acumen of "Joe Bradley." What a pity 'tis, that Supreme Courts cannot be run as easily as the balance of the Democratic machine. What business bas a Democrat who, by mere chance, bas a conscience or a regard for the law, on the bench anyhow f Conciliation', to be effective, will in the end prove rather a costly af fair. Southern claim bil'.s were intro duced in the Senate and ia the Uouse previous to the holiday recess, aggre gating over (150,000,000, and that was only the beginning, Since tnea they have beec multiplying daily, and the Tribune is now having an investigation made to ascertain the total amount If these things are done in the green tree, what will be done in the dry, when the Soother n Democracy obtain control of both Houses, and possibly of the entire government? With Democratic control ia Con gress, have returned the old scenes of drunkenness and violence formerly familiar to the country when the Southern Chivalry ruled that body. Douglass, a Democratic M. C. from Virginia appeared on the floor of the House in a state of beastly intoxica tion, defied the Speaker and the Sergeant-at-Arms to remove him. And yet not a single Democratic statesman or journal has dared de mand the expulsion of this drunken bully. Such is the "reform Democ racy" of which the country bas beard tell! The prime reason for theremoneti ration of silver was because we ought not to depreciate our own product. We were the greatest silver producers ia tbe world aod so ought to make the greatest use of it. But the very first move of the London baukers is to tell us five millions below tbe price at which it was offered here. Besides that, silver can be brought from Lon don to Xew York for one fourth the cost of freight from San Francuco.aod in tbe same time. Will tbe silver men now attempt to put an import duty on money? for silver is money. Xorth American. Di UNO tbe last campa gn Demo cratic orators and editors made a wonderful hullabaloo over the rigid economy of that party ia Congress, and the numerous millions saved to the Treasury by their careful scrutiny of National expenditures, and just now they are boasting of the large amounts to be saved in tbe army and navy appropriation bills; yet during last week, bills to supply deficiencies in tbe necessary expenditures of tbe government, for the current fiscal year, were considered ia both houses of Congress, a fact which furnishes its own commentary upon the so called economy of the pact and pres ent Democratic Congress. When all tbe deficiencies, resulting from their blind paring down of necessary ap propriations, are summed op. it win be fonnd they have been attempting to deceive tbe country, and while tbey bave beet playing economists, it costs about the usual amount to rnn tbe government I JgJ IgiB!atar of rnnsjlTM is coDBiderioff & bill tliat strikes at one of the Democratic inalienable jrjgbti, xiz.. tkst of beinjj "treated."

The naughty fling at the "Cameron lackeys" in the Legislature was intended to be vic ious, but we presume the recipients of it will consider the source, as the fellow said when the jack ass kicked him.

The decision of the Louisiana Su preme Court in the Anderson case is, in effect, that the Democrats bad no case at all, and that the persecution of the Returning Board members was not countenanced by law, and was wholly without excuse. This decision takes the wind out of the Democratic sails, and virtually ends the prosecution agaiast the members of the Returniog Board. To Gener al Anderson, personally, the decision is a vindication, aod is the more gratifying to him. as it saves him from the humiliation of receiving a pardon from a Governor who would have tendered it with the pretentions, patronizing air of a monarch confer ring a favor on a menial. It is the more gratifying, too, that it. cemes from the State Supreme Court, rather than from the United States Supreme Court, and that the decision sweeps every vestige of the verdict of the jury out of the way, and presents tbe proceedings in the Criminal Court in their true light The stout hearted man who bas made so good a fight aeeerves all tbe warm congratulations he will receive. All future efforts to annoy or persecute bim on this score will be reckoned as enly so many manifestations of petty spite and low malice. Inler-Oeean. Doorkeeper Polk has to be boonced, and the Democratic journ als are trying to convince the peo ple, that it is Democratic Congress men who are voluntarily correcting the gross abuses that be had intro duced. Bah ! Such stuff is too thin. Tbe outrages and extravagances per petrated by this Democratic reformer were so flagrant, and the proof so positive that he could not be defend ed, and while two Democrats on the committee of investigation were constrained to vote with the Repub licans, reporting in favor of his ex pulsion, the balance of them tried to whitewash bim in a minority report What a charming spectacle is pre sented by these reform Democrats ! Twice ia four years has the House been organized corruptly, and tbe organ iration bas fallen to pieces by its iuberent rottenness.

The clamor of needy applicants has been sufficient to overcome all the restraints ot law. Democratic Con grcstuen who wanted places for hun gry friends, winked at their employ ment where no duty was performed and none needed. Tbe lawful force was multiplied, and positions giren to men who farmed them out, and when those and an unnumbered mul titude of other misdemeanors abso lute thefis in fact were shown up and Polk bad to go, tbe laughable assertion ia made that the Demo cratic partr will tolerate no abuses in its own organization. Too thjn too thin ! ! A C"rlaseratln. From tbt New York Tribune. Tbe curious observation is put forth by a devoted defender of tbe Adaiioiotration that if tbe opposing Republicans do not bave a care tbe President may go to work next year and br the aid of a Democratic ben- ate, fill tbe 60,000 Federal offices with Hayes Republicans. Yes, but if tbe Administration pursues its present policy for a year longer where will it find tbe C0',000 Hayes Republicans? Tbe Worcester Sjiy, without any unpleasant warmth or unnecessary display oi reeling, soliloquizes as fol lows: Tbe President is an amiable, hope ful, honest gentleman, but sometimes it is quite as important to see clearly as to be amiable. Moreover, it is impossible for bim to regenerate such people br means of intoxicating illu sions. It is atwavs safest and best to see clearly, judge justly, avoid "gush," and act with due magnanim ity. It is not safe to cherish angelic dreams of loveliness, wbiLs con templating tbe White League gen try of tbe South.

On the authority of a Washington Democratic paper, it ia said that the Democrats bave always had trouble with their House Door-keeper. To the average citizen, this may seem a strange story. Why should the great Democratic party bave trouble witb a man who opens and shuts tbe door ot tbe House of Representatives? What is there about door-keeping tbat is calculated to sow dissension in Democratic ranks? Men wbo would ask such questions as thes9 would simDly show bow little thev know about the functions, responsi bilities, and dignities of a House Door-keeper. He has tbe appoint ment and oversight of a brigade of door-keepers, janitors, pages, clean ers, folders of documents, clerks, and various other employes. The list is a long one; and an investigating com mittee is yet engaged in trying to find out mow many men may be law fully employed by the Doorkeeper. Nobody seems to know. Hat it will be seen that the patronage of the place is very large. And wherever there is patronage, there will tbe Democrats be gathered together. We bave said enough to indicate what sort oi trouble the House Door keeper may caufe tbe Democratic Party. The capacity of the House is limited, and even when three door keepers lay hold of a door and beg leave to open it tbey cannot all he paid. But there is no limit to the Democratic place-hunters. They come up to Congress from the tan gled caoebrakes of the South, the sand-barrens of tbe Jersey coast, the fever-stricken fields of Missouri, and the prairies of tbe great West. Aod each man of them has a member of Congress behind bim. Door-keeper Polk, wbo is just now stsggeriog un der a load of obloquy and specific charges, is tbe latest victim of this insatiate appetite for place. He suf fers from tbe same evil which bas af flicted every Democratic Door-keeper since 1840. There is something pathetic in this man's testimony be fore tbe investigating committee. Polk seems to be a well-meaning per son. He did not "put on airs," as bis predecessor, Fitzhugb, did, and swagger about, swearing that be was a "bigger man tban old Grant;" but he anxiously tried to eatisfv the de mands of tbe Democratic members of Congress. This was like pouring water into a sieve. Poor Polk, in his testimony before tbe committee, said that he "never felt authorized to op pose the with of a member of Con gress" wbo wanted certain appoint ments. Of course, if Polk went into office with this notion of bis duties, he was bound to get ict j trouble. And he says that when be remonstra ted weakly, we must suppose tbe member would say, "Well, let bim stay there; he is necessary; you havn't got pages enough; I will fee about that". And then he would walk off, and tbat would be tbe last of it Poor Polk used to put the ap plicants on his pay-roll; be hid them away in all sorts of odd corners, and by and by, though be kept many Democratic pensioners on half par, or third pay, drawing part of the sti pend of men who were regularly en rolled, he yet had eixty-ibree more men on his pay roll than the law al lowed. If a Kepublican chief of a department should create an office for the sake of making a place for a political worker, a iemocratie Na tional Convention would uonvulse tbe land with its cry for reform. The Democratic Door-keeper of the House under tbe pressure cf bis own party in Congress, creates sixty-three new officers, and thinks cotLbg ef it. There was a person uy the name of Duffy in the nominal employment ot tbe JJoor-teeper; bis case illus trates the general drift of things in tbe Uoose. Duffy is represented as being an influential Iribbman amozg the Molly Maguiret and ethers, ac cording to Polk's testimony. He was put on the force witb tbe under standing tbat he was to draw part of some other man's pay. There was nothing said about doing any work. Probably tbe other man did tbe work. But Duty proved to be a very unpleasant person. He got in. to tbe chairs of tbe members and vent to sleep, and snored so lond as to di.tnrb tbe deliberations of the House. Polk remonstrated with bim, and told bim tbat be post quit going into the House whils druni, and, says tbe unhappy Door-keeper, I told bim thai he was bringing my self and the department and all of us into disrepute. Then Polk told tbe man who was dividing bis pay with Uuffy not to do so any more. Daf fy swore at Polk, anil bis oaths are printed in full in "Mis. Doc Vo. $6, H. of &., 45th Congress, 3d Session," page 321, where tbe curious may set them. Of coarse, Duffy bas bis Rep. resentatives, and to this important personage Door-keeper Polk was compelled, io great anguish of mind, armed bim and sent him baci to Hay to write a letter of explanation. Duf-'ward. fv'a Representative is Hon. Hend- rick B. Wright, a gentleman wbo be- lieves and says tbat tbe Uovernment ought to appropriate several millions of dollars ier annum for the excia sire use of the working classes. Dnf- fy is undoubtediy a member of Mr, Wright's working classes. Tbe investigating committee in Ibis case of Polk has recommended that he be dismissed, and that bis of fice be consolidated witb that of the Sergeant-at-arms. Barring tbe dis grace of tbe thing, Polk ought to be glad to be rid of bis troublesome place in this way. But tbe weak ness of tbe ruling party ia tbe House is strikingly exhibited in the conclu sion of tbe committee. Tbe Demo cratic members bave coaxed and threatened Polk until be was com pelled to provide for more pegs tban be bad boles for; then, when be bad broken down under the lead which tbey laid upon him, instead of re forming the office and agreeing to let the office-bolder manage it as be should and would, tbey recommend tbat tbe ollico be merged in anotber one. 1 be sergeant-at-arms is to un dertake to do wbat two successive Door-keepers bave failed to do find place for ten thousand applicants a few hundred offices. Tbe minori ty report in the case is equally characteristic. It protests against Polk's removal, alleging tbat be bas not been corrupt and tbat be ia inex perienced. Tbe root of the difficulty is in tbe low aod vulgar view with which the Democrats have always regarded office-holding. Tbey he- Here tbat a Government is bound to furnish a huge crib at which office holders may feed, without any re spect to wbat is given in return. Their trouble with their Door-keeper is tbe chronic troable witb tbe entire party. Kctc York Times. Ill Murderers or tha Chlaholu. Jackson, Marcb 18. It appears that the continuance of the cases of those indicted for the murder of Judge Cbisholm and others was ren dered necessary by the absence of important witnesses on behalf of tbe Slate. Application for a writ ofba beas corpus has been made by tbe accused, but tbe District Attorney, with tbe approval of tbe Court, con sented tbat they t-hould be discharg ed without a bearing, on individu als were only indicted, but there are eleven cases pending, so tbat tbe bonds, (o.OUO in each case, will ag gregate $55,000. The Meridian Homestead thinks tbat tbe bonds are tuple to secure the attendance ot t he accused whenever the State is ready tor trial. Tbe Meridian Mercury, which persistently attempted without a scintilla of evidence to sustain its brazen assertions, to make it appear tbat tbe late Judge Cbisholm insti gated tbe brutal assassination of John W. Gully, now has, referring to tbe trials of those indicted for the murder and the murder of other in nocent victims, the effrontry to say : 'Since tbe indictments were found there have been developments that have removed all doubts of the men takea off by tbe mob in procuring tbe assassination of John W. Gully. This terrible crime, heightened by its manner of hiring negroes to do it has been terribly avenged, and it is folly to expect convictions, even upon proof, for deeds done in the midst of a tumultuous riot under such mad dening provocation; and, in our judg ment, tbe Governor wonld act wise ly to yield to tbe recommendation of tbe Grand Jury to pardon these de fendants, wbicb we understand tbey will make almost unanimously in tbe shape of a written memorial." 1 here may be some truth in the statementof tbe Mercury tbat it is fol ly to expect conviction, even upon proof, in such a case, but in every other particular the article of the Mercury from which tbe above is quoted is calculated to mislead.

Tbe Dem ocratic Legislature at Columbus is making a record tbat will prove ex ceedingly valuable to Republicans in the approaching Congressional elec tions. It bas gone through all the public institutions aud the large cities of tbe State, and wherever legislation was needed to torn Republicans out of office and put Democrats in, it bas been promptly supplied. Tbe City Governments of Ciccinnati.CIevelaod, Dayton, and Toledo bave been re constructed in a most shameless man ner to suit partisan ends. Cleveland, where tbe Uepubucans bave a popu lar majority, is being supplied with laws wbicL plioe tbe disposition of oinciai patronage in me Danaa or tbe Qorernor, while Cincinnati, whioh bas a permanent Democratic majori ty, is furuiebed witb legislation of a directly opposite sort. The attempt is now beiog maae to Democratize tbe IoIice force ot Cincinnati by put tiog it under the control of a board appointed Brut by tbe Democratic l'robate Judge, and thereafter elect ed annually, all at a time, by tbe people. Tfes bill paie tbe ilouse under the party lash, but wa defeat ed in tbe Senate to-day by one vote, some of the Cleveland Democrats, feeling its application in their ciiv, voting agaiost it It is stated, how ever, tbat the neces?arv vote has been secured, and tbe bifl will yet go through. The inconsistency of the measure was sharply poiott d out io tbe debate to-day, but tbe Democrat ic argument was tbat tbe party juat now needed the legislation, and its representatives were bound to bold it, though the Democratio press, fear ing tbe effect of this kind of work, is urging tbe Legislature to pass tbe Appropriation bills and adjourn. Tbe majority, however, show no dis position to hurry matters. 'Tarww mp Tewr Haat. Deadwood, Dakota, March 20.

Uarrisbcrq, Mar. 23. 1 878. The present legislature is emicent lv a moral one if tbe prevalence of moral measures in its work is any criterion to judge by. One trouble witb these moral measures, however, is tbat after they are introduced tbey are either forgotten or lost in the vo luminous files, or if tbey chance to rise tc the surface of legislation they are most summararily disposed of. As your readers bave already been informed we bave anti-cremation, anti-treating and anti-tobacco bills, all of wbicb will without much doubt when the proper time cemes, go to meet the ill-fated Local Opiiou bill One of the most warmly contested bills in tbe House this session bas been tbe one prohibiting all shows and exhibitions on the Sabbath day, in cates where a fee for admission is charged. As before stated this bill was primarily in'ended to close the Philadelphia Zoological Gardens on Sunday, but when it was introduced, petitions in favor of its passage pour ed into tbe kg stature from all parts of the state. Tbe Philadelphia delegation how ever were almost unanimously op posed to its passage, aod finally on last Monday night tbey succeeded io killing tbe bill. After considerable filibustering on tbe part of its friends to prevent its present consideration it was pressed to a vote and defeat ed by 48 Nays to 5C Yeas. Anotber measure which received its quieius on Monday night, was the bill requiring engineers of steam engines and boilers to take out a li cense before entering upon a dis charge of their business. It stood first upon the calendar and bad con sequently to be disposed of to reach tbe Sunday bill above referred to, and it was disposed of by a vote tbat was many names short of a constitu tional majority. Defeat is the com mon fate of bills on final passage which are considered in the slim Houses which are always to be ex pected on a Monday night. Tbe en gineer bill bas been placed npon tbe colendar again. On Tuesday the bill which is in tended to divide the county of Lu zerne and form a new county after much tribulation on part of its friends passed the lower House by tbe deci sive vote of 151 yeas to 20 nays. Tbe Scraotonians with joy in their hearts bave transferred their attentions from the Uoufe to the Senate. The bill to prevent the taking or charging of more than tbe legal rate of interest was this year especially championed by Speaker Myer. On its Goal passage oa Tuesday. Mr. Osbourne of Philadelphia attempted but failed to bave a proviso exempt ing Building Associations from its provisions inserted in tbe bill Tbe Yeas and Nays were called on the final passage of the bill aod seemed to have resulted favorably. Certain members demanded at this point that their names should be recorded or corrections be made in tbe manner in wbicb tbey bad been recorded, wbicb corrections would bave chang ed tbe result. The Speaker refused to allow any sued changes and so tbe bill was declared passed in the midst of great excitement and up roar in the noose. Legislative investigations are be coming varied in character and wide in scope, l esterday in both Senate and House the fever of investigation was high. Senator Fisher introduc ed a resolution providing that the Senate Finance Committee be intro duced to inquire whether or not the Department of Internal affairs.

The1 i Supreme Court this morning uas. crowded with members of tbe bar, politicians and other persona anx ious to bear the decision in ease cf the State vs. Thomas C. Anderson, convicted in tbe Superior Criminal Court for publishing as true forged and counterfeit election returns from tbe parish of Vernon. Chief Jus tice Manning read a very lengthy opinion in tbe case. After review ing tbe charge, tbe verdict and tbe sentence, the Court took op two of tbe exceptions, as being tbe ouly ones necessary to consider in render ing a judgment These were tbat there bad been no preliminary exam ination and tbat it is not a practice to prosecute by information. Both exceptions were dismissed, the first upon the ground tbat a preliminary examination is not essential, and tbe second, tbat prosecution by informa tion has been a common rule in crim inal prosecutions for many years. The exception to tbe drawing of tbe jury was also dismissed, on tbe ground tbat a violation of tbe spirit of the law is not pretended. Relative to the defense itself tbe Court gave an abstract of tbe elec tion law, detailing its requirements. Tbe exact method prescribed in tbe law was fully described. Tbe rec ord offered in evidence did not con form with tbat mentioned ia the in formation. The document offered was tbe consolidated statement, cer tified by tbe register of voters, aod noc the original returns, aod tbe stat ute of our Siate does not attach much value to this consolidated statement Tbe original returns, not being altered, would not change the result of tbe election, or interfere with tbe interests of tbe people. Tbe paper offered in eridence is not tbe paper charged as being forged. In order to be forgery an instrument wbicb is alleged is falsified must, if true, be legally capable of commit ting a fraud. Now here in law, a consolidated return, required as a declaration or modification can in no way affect the election. If every consolidated return were forged, and tbe Returning Board complied with tbe law and made their statements from the Commissioners' returns, no injury could result It does not ap pear that any paper has been forged tbat is calculated, with a compliance with law, to change tbe result. It is the escence of this crime that it should be committed by a public of ficer, and on a document which would change the result of tbe elec tion. Ibis was not done. Tbe letter of John Sherman, Stan ley Matthews, and others, wbicb ap peared in tbe record, was alluded to by tbe Chief Justice, wbo stated that it should be treated by tbe public in like manner as tbat of a member of tbe House of Commons, wbo attempt ed to influence tbe decision of the Court iu the Tichboroe case It was ordered that the verdict ot tbe jury be set abide and leversed, aod. tbe prisoner discharged from custody The Ead of a Desperado. (Jul Johnson, white, was executed at Rome, Ga., on Friday last, for tbe murder of Daniel Alford, colored, in August, 187C. Tbe procession ar rived at the gallows at 11 o'clock, two Catholic priests attending tbe condemned man. On the scaf fold Johnson addressed tbe people. confessing that be bad murdered two men and aided in killing two others. At 1:40 tbe trap fell, and in fifteen minutes the body was cut down. Over six thousand people witnessed the execution. Tbe fdet that the hanging i f John son was to be the first execution of a wnite man tor me muraer of a cegro in the South since the war, no leas than tbe monstrous character of bis crimes, bas attracted attention to his case. He is supposed to bave mur dered six men, one of them his own father. The crime for which be suf fered death was tbe unprovoked kill ing of a negro ferry man in Chattauoo j;a county. Johnson desired to cross the river. Tbe ferryman was pull iug tbe boat across. Johnson shjut ed to bim to hurry up.
