Has any one seen a Democratic miwriliit armraved the COUTSa of I I - -ri Congressman Bragg in denouncing rebel claims ? Tbe Democratic party claims to be a Union party, but bag any Democratic paper come to tbe defence of Bragg for expressing Union sentiments? On tbe other baud fcundreds of ex-rebels ctaad ready to read him out of the party. So sire power is now wielded by Confederates, and official rewards are showered upon them so thickly, that southern Union men are abso lutely under tbe ban ia the very Union to which tbey clung so faith fully. The Confederates are now the Ruminant element in fifteen States and in Congress. THEB.K has beeu a bill reported from the Ways and Means 'Commit tee of the Uouso at Harrisbarg by which it is contemplated to make tbe State pay for losses suffered by tbe riot at Pittsburgh, which occurred some eighteen months since. The bill authorizes the appoint ment of a Commission to ascertain and adjust tbe losses. It appropri ates $1,000,00. for that purpose, and provides that Allegheny county shall pay twenty ive per cent, and the Slate seventy-five per cent of the amount agreed upon by the Commis sion. Tbe interests of the Pennsyl vania Railroad are carefully guard ed. It ia empowered to collect from tbe State and county tbe value cf the goods lost ia its bands, and is made liable to tbe owners for tbe amount received, less freights earned at tbe lime of their destruction, and if tbe County of Allegheny defaults ia the payment of her portion, the State mtiHt nevertheless par its share. This is about the substance of tbe bill. It is against tbe law, rests on no basis of equity or justice, and is simply an outrage on tbe honest and law abiding portion1 of the people. True, it would be a great hardship on the peaceable portion of the citi zens of Allegheny county to pay for all the losses occasioned by its riot ous citizens, but that is a misfortune happening through bad.loeal officials of their own selection, and such is the law of tbe laod. It is tbe gen eral belief, outside tbe immediate lo cality most interested, that had energetic measures been pursued Lj j tbe authorities of Pittsburg and Allegheny county, most, if not all the loss might have been prevented. Every gocd citizen was bound to give his aid for tbe preservation of peace and order, and yet an appar ent apathy existed until tbe property cf individuals was threatened with loss by tbe anarchists, and frantic attempts were made to slaughter the military sent there for the protection of citizens. To compel tbe State to pay these losses would be monstrous, and would be establishing a prece dent of immanity to other communi ties, for responsibility for future out breaks. In short, if these losses are to be saddled opon the people of the Slate, what inducement will there be in tbe future to any ssaa to take tbe slightest risk to protect bis own property, if he caa have recourse up on tbe State for its value? Tbe manner ia wbtch tnis bill was introduced and hurried tbroogh com mittee smacks strongly of a pre arranged job, and it is charged Jhat powerful lobby is at work urging its passage. There is no good reason why aay member outside of Alle gheny county should support it, and n) one can do so without having his mrti res suspected, and being beld to rigid accountability by tbe tax payors, opon whom be would . th'm unnecessary burden. After fighting eby of tbe matter a long as it possibly could, tbe Pot ter committee last week commenced the investigation of the cipher dis patches that passed between leading Democrats of New York Tilden's self or I i.:- confidential friend-aod bim aome one lor cira resiuiuBj m he strueEl for his tie UUUDV a ' Presidencv, af.er the election in 1S7C Mr. Smith Weed, Telton, Tilden's nephew, and Manton Marble, former editor of the World," all confidential f-;ri. r th ari-at Reform canai- iiivuuo v &v date, have been called as witnesses. and compelled to testify, lnej an admitted substantially the truth of tbe dispatches as translated and pub lished by the New York Tribune, and thereby confess to tbe attampt to purchase for Tilden the Presidency of the United States, after the people bad decided against bim. So shock- iog a revelation oi puuutu al depravitr the world has never before witness? d. Tbe confession is forced from these men, these ruling oiri'ia tA thn Democratic party, that two of them, Weed and Marble went to South Carolina and Florida for tbe purpose of "capturing" the vote of those States for Tilden. That eea entered into negociations with cer tain persons for the purcbaee of the vote of South Carolina, that ce agreed to pay $G0,000 or $30,000 to bribe tbe electors, and tbat as be supposed, be bad completed the arrangements, and that be telegraph ed to Pelton residing with Tilden in his own house for tbe money. Mar ble in F-rida, received and forward ed to Ptlton propositions for tbe purchase of the "Returning Board" of that Slate, far a sum first filed at 1200,000 and afterwards reduced to $50,000, which latter proposition was accepted by Pelton, but too late to be carried out On the witness stand Peltoa corroborated tbe testimony wrung from these precious scoundrels, .Emitted tba truthfulness ot tne cipher communications, and that he had agreed to pay tbe sums bargam- ed fcr. These men were not willing or swift witnesses, they shuffled, prevaricated, didn't remember, and had conveniently short memories, but in the face of their telegrams could not lie outright, and so were (nrnf.A to admit their nefarious and dirty conspiracy to buy tbe 1 rest dency. 7'bey all three agisted tbat the transaction was their own, C was unknown to Tilden, whom they were particularly anxious to eerecn, but in the course ct cress examina tion made such admissions, as must satisfy the public tbat be was priry to the transactions, or is tbe most guileless, unsuspecting simple old niDny in the country, w hen ia truth and in txl he is known as one of the coolest, wide awate, sharp and foxy old lawyers in tbe land. lie tod his nephew (Pelton) reside together, the dispatches were all traced to that bonce, Ptlton is personally not worth a pe&or, and sharp rogues like Weed and Marble, would never agree to aavance such immense sm for their principal without his assent More over Pelton testified tbat the South Carolina scheme did come to the knowledge of his uncle, who recalled bim from Baltimore, wbitber he had gone to meet Wood and band over tbe money, and scolded him severely and said he would never assent to such a transaction. Rut within ten days this hopeful nephew was again at work trying to purchase the Flo rida vote through Marble, right under tbe sose of this guileless old man, wto of course never suspected the naughty transaction. It is estab lished however by the testimony, tbat Mr. Tilden did know cf the at tempt to buy the vote of South Caro lina made by one of bis intimate personal and political friends in com plicity with his nephew, wbo was also his confidential political agent and representative during the cam paign, and it is verv evident tbat he was not dangerously shocked nor outraged by the transaction ; as he afterward continued his amicable personal relations with them. It will be interesting te observe how, in the face of these revelations, Mr. Tilden's party friends will accept the situation, and tbe public will wait with bated breath to catch the first faict .echoes of the renewed "fraud" cry, which eonnded so lusti ly through the land about tha time of (be inauguration of President Have?. The preposition before the Legis lature to pay tbe losses arising from the riots of 18 7 in Allegheny county and from jbe destruction committed by Confederate soldiers in the border counties involve an expenditure of oerbapa $7,000,003. In the present condition of tbe yearly revenue of the State, tbe payment of such a vast sum, in excess of ordinary and oeces' sary expeuditures, is out of the ques tion. If seven millions oi money are appropriated to pay these claims, ir.O&WWO must be pulled cut of tbe pockets of the people to replenish the Treasurv. A necessary part of Ibis organized raid opon tbe resources of tbe people is, therefore, tu oy-tax bill. If a State tax is laid upon oil. tbe money will be forthcoming. If the Legislature could be depended upon to act wits fairness and pro dence in a matter of eob grave im portance, the people of Pennsylvania slight rest ouconcerned. Tbese schemes, poe and all, would only re ceive such pItry support as tbe claims of locality and t&e ambition for buncombe would iospire n the breasts of legislators who find their reward teas in doing tbeir duty than in obliging their friends.

Every Democratic senator votea against these resolutions. This fact, per haps, would be void of significance if there waa nothing more to excite suspicion and mistrust of tbe De mocracy. Tney niignt claim toai tbe amendments are in the orgauic law, and therefore no further expres sion or avowal of devotion to them was required to give them foroe, but there are facts behind this which ren der tbe attitude of tbe Democratic party full ot danger to the present and tbe future of the Government, When the amendments were before the States for ratification, wherever the Democratic party then was in power in a Legislature, tbe vote was against ratification; and wherever the Democracy have since secured tbe control of a Legislature which ratified these amendments, the acts of ratification bate beeu revoked. What would be more significant than this, and what better proof do tbe people now require than, the object and purpose of tbe Democratic party in securing power is to pqrsue a rev- olulionarv course in relation to all tbe results of tbe late war which crushed rebellion and emancipated the slave ? Tbe country has had this evidence in the course cf tbe Democratic party in every State Legislature in the country controlled by its leaders. The policy of tbe Democracy in the fiioutb is one of re action, and the whip of tbo Southern slave driver, which all tbe world bad supposed was forever laid away, was the infiuerce that tuas.cd the De mocracy ia the Senate against tbe reaffirmation of tbe results of the war, as these are written la the Federal Constitution.

Tbe Nephew and confidential secretary of Mr. Tilden, and the Secretary of the Democratic National Committee, confesses tbat an attempt was made to bur the electoral vote of Louisi ana, South Carolina, end Florida; acknowledges tbat tbe ciphtir tele grams, as published, are substantially correc, admits that be is tbe author of tbe dispatches agreeing to pay f 30,000 for tne eleotorai roto of a State, and declares tbat Manton Marble, Smith M. Weed, Woolley, ana otner iiem crats were nis con federates or agents in negotiating tbe purchase. Tfcjs is, in effect, a plea of guilty on tbe part of Jbe leaders oi me I'emocranc party. When tbe charge that tbe Demo crats bad attempted to boy the elec toral votes of two or threo States was first made, it was met by an un qualified denial. Tbe people were informed tbat no such proposition bad ever been made or entertained for a moment When the cipher tel egrams were published the correct ness of tbe traulat;oQ was at first denied. Then explanations woro of fered to show tbat all references to money related to campaign expunges, or to expendHures on the part of the committee. Now, after hundreds of letters have been written, and scores of witnesses have testified to ef plain away all tbe complications of tbe Democratso case, here comes a wit oess from headquarters who admits all that was ever charged, and in volves the gentlemen, wbo have been eo prolific in explanation, in new complications. Mr. Pelton is important In this matter only as he plays an important part priven from every position that they bare taken, falling back from the aggressive to tbo defensive and tnen tasing up toe lino of re treat, tbe Democratic leaders find themselves in a corner. In this last extremity, when denial do longer an swered, and when explanations were only Jaugbed at, it was no longer question of father resilience, but one of escape, it wag so longer question as to wbo could make tbe stoutest denial, out as to wtat one could best afford to make open con fessioa. Pelton was chosen, and, like tbe "immortal J. N ," be as somes tbe pressure. Ife taes the sins of tbe whole Democratic mau agement on his shoulders, and stag gers off. It is an amusing and in tereeun spectacle, but it does not clear the skiru cf the Democratic party. There was an ejSTort made to buy the electoral vote of three States, and l elton s coolession simply points out tbe guilty parties. Inter-Ocean FATAL FAX1LT FIUMT. St. Loiis, Feb., 8.

Dis patches were received at Baltimore from Mr. Cooper (now Mayor) say ing that tbe money could hot be raised, and another one ordering Pelton to return to the city.
