Waa'nt tba; red hot Southern editor
lelling the truth, when be said a few
days aiuce. that the Confederacy bad
"at last captured the Capitol !"
Senator Dawes ot Massachusetts,
thus present tbe iseue between tbe
two parties : "Tbe Democrats en-
- .k.t tk mill break up tbe
UUU ULC iUMi. J
government if they are not permitted
to break into tbe baliot-boxea. We
shall unflinchingly deft d tbe elec
tion law!., and let tbe Democrat
carry out their threats of refusing
i,tvr..iritinn8 if tbev dare. On this
-r .
aftrstioa I think there is bnt eu
opinion and one will among Repub-
licans."
The President's menage is short
aod to the point. It is as plo
vtn Paddv's biot, that the country
ia'ot dyiog of anxiety for tbe pres
ent aeion of Congress He briefly
inform this Congress that be wax
couetraioed to call it tigetber be
cause its immediate predecessor fail
ed to make pprop-ietiooa for tfce
eunp-irt of the army and tbe judicial i
and executive branches of tbe O ov.
eminent This, and nothing more.
One of the firi-t bills introduced in
tbe Sepa:e, was by Mr. Betk, to
"repeal so mnch of tbo revised stat
utes as prohibits the appointment to
tbe army ot persons engaged in tbe
late rebellion." Oar Southern breth
ren who deserted duriag tbe late
war, want their old places back
again.
By all means let tte army be
reorganized, deserters restored to
their former positions, traitors placed
in control of it, and then back pay
be voted to these worthy gentlemen,
covering tbeir nineteen years of en-
-nce. Tbe Sauth must be
conciliated, yoa know.
Tut Southern Brigadiers evident
ly thought they bad as mnch Penn
sylvania Democracy as they could
stomach tn Randall, whom they
were forced to elect Speaker of the
House, to save themselves from the
follies of Blackburn ; so tbey sana
caarily kicked Heister Cly trier out of
tbe Chairmanship of the caucus
Committee to make way for John F.
House, of Tenessee. Steoger got
just one vote for Secretary of tbe
Senate and Uncle Jake Zsigler for
Sergeant-at-Arms was nowhere. Tbe
old days are presumed to be back
gain wben the more yoa kick a
Pennsylvania doughface, tbe lower
be grovels in tbe dirt si the feet of
bis Southern masters.
Hebe is a comforting assurance of
Democratic sweets to come, for the
business men and tax payers of tbe
country: at the Uemccratic caucus
held on Thursday last, Alexander II
Stephens of Georgia, one of tbe
most conservative Southern men in
Congress, advocated tbe ufcue of "at
least'' $500,000,000 ia greenbacks,
and tbe total repeal of all Internal
Revenue taxes. It one of tbe most
conservative Democrats in Congress
thus proposes to start with a flood cf
irredeemable greenbacks, and tbe
wiping out of f 20,000,000 of revenue
ennually, obtained from taxation of
m bitky, tobacco, Ae. What may not
be expected, when tbe irresponsible
bot beads and fools in Congress get
tbe Legislative machine fairly started
and under control ?
Tue Union soldiers must feet
!eculiarly gratified, wben tbey look
ever tbe present roll of tnited States
Senators, and count nineteen ex-Confederate
officers and only four men
wbo risked their lives for tbe old
flag, in tbat body. Here is tbe roll
call, ex-Confederates Morgan, Gar

Vance, Ransom, Withers, Johnson,

We just envy tbe feeling ;f tte
Republicans wbo voted for Coffrotb,
wben tbev read tbe proceedings of
tbe organization of tbe House, and
see that by barely one vote bis
vote tbe Southern confederates were
enabled to obtain control of that
body and the Government for tbe
coming two years. We congratulate
tbem also on tbe fact tbat, tbe first
vote be gave, after the organization
was complete, was to deprive a Re
publican of the seat to wbich be was
elected, aud give it to a rebel, whom
the Supreme Court of bis State de
cided bad no title to it
Tut U 8. Senate has thirty four
committees. Twenty-four of these
bave chairmen from the South. This
most clearly ebows bow the South is
deprived of ber rghta, and ber legiti
mate power in tbe Government.
Having lees tbao oDe tbird of tbe
population of tbe country Including
negroes wbo have been fraudulently
deprived c f their votes she is given
two-lbirds of the power in 'ubaping
legislation" and jet tbe country is
treated to a bowl about tbe iniquitous
election laws, and troop, and Re
publican Supervisor and Marshals
depriving ber of ber rights ; and this
extra session of Congress was forced
on tbe country, for tbe purpose of
repealing theee safeguards of the
ballot box aud giving the South a
chance.
Bom Houses of Confess met for
tbe new session on Tuesday last
(lDtL). Tbe galleries of both cham
bers were packed by crowds of long
fcaired, lauk, tobacco stained, hungry
looking individuals who came up
from tbe Soutb, to see "ourn" take
pogaeeeion of the National Capitol
again, afer an enforced absence of
nineteen years. Randall was elected
Speaker of the House by a bare
idj rity of one vote. Tbe solid
South wa afraid to trUBt Blackburn
iii thiscrixis, as he is too iodiscree',
and too itucb of a blatberrkite, so
tbey permitted Randall, whom tbey
cau "count on." 1J tbe lime, to be
elected. It was a tight eqaec Z9 ;
they bad brought in all tbe siik, bad
hurried oua man from Oregon, across
tbe Ccntiuent in a special train, at a
fearful speed, and then bad just ono
of a mnjrity.
Of course, Hull of Florida was
admitted ; the Democrats could'nt
have stolen tbe organization of tbe
Houe, and secured tbe offices with
out Lim. Here is a history of his
title in brief. Despite the most
bh sra el tea frauds, HuU was defeated
at tbe election. The Democratic
canvasi-iasr officers threw out tbe
vote of certain p&ritbes and declared
him elected, and Governor Drew
tiim a ceruticate, wbtco ne pre
sented to the House. Meantime Mr.
Btfcbee Lad appealed to tbe Supreme
Court of tbe gtate ; it decided that
tbe canvassing board bad exceeded
its authority, and ordered a r-can-vass.
Tbts re-canvass was made and
resulted in showing tbat Bisbee bad
a majority of the votes. He then
demanded tbat tbe Governor should
issne him & certificate. This be
refused to do, although b? Attorney
General a Democrat wrote s-o
opinion tbat it was bis duty so to do:
The Supreme Court certified tbat
Bicbee was elected. Some cf tbe
scoundrels wbo perpetrated tbe
frauds bave been convicted and are
ia the penitentiary. Hull himself is
under indictment for complicity in
tbe frauds, and yet a Democratic
House "Oar Alec" voting yea by
strict party vote gave this indicted
scoundrel tbe seat to which Bit-bee
was elected.
The President was compelled to
eall tbe present extra session of Con
gress, because tbe Democrats insisted
upon taring the so-called, "Super
visor's law" repealed, and added it to
one of the appropriation bills. Tbey
refused topas8 the biil without it, and
by this revolutionary proceeding com
pelled tbe President to assemble
Congress again, or to Jet tbe Gov
ernment stop fot want of money to
pay its expenses. We publish tbe
law in another culumu, and ask wby
any honest man, we care not of
what party, should desire its repeal.
It is not partisan in any aspect, ap
plies to all the country, and is intro
duced as a safeguard against flection
frauds. The only reason or its re-:
pea; is, tnat tbe trauds committed in
tbe Soutb, ad in such cities as New
York, may bo maUiplied. Observe,
it applies only to I ha detica ofj
Presidential electors and Members of
Congress. Repeal this law. and tbe
Democracy sill capture tbe next
Presidency, if tbey &re thousands of
votes in tbe minority in two-li;;ds of
trie Mates, mat is wby tbey are
bowling (or its repeal, and are swear
ing if tbe President uses lis veto to
prevent it, they will vote no ijjoney
to carry oa the Government.
At tbe instance cf an esteemed
friend in Pittsburgh, and in the in
terest of "fair play," we publish else
where a brief communication in sup
port cf tbe Riot bill As a native of
Pittsburgh, having many friends
residing therein, ve bare always
felt a deep interest in ber welfare, a
corresponding pride in ber prosperi

half tbe weary accumulations of a

flames, while (cores of onr neighbors
fared much worse, we never can for
get tbe eegec sympathy extended
personally to our unfortnnate people
by many citizens of Pittsburgh, and

This sounds rather wild; aud the
gentleman who is screaoiiu? is prob
kblv a person of no individual con
sequence, as bis paper is certainly
not an organ of commanding import
ance. Yet the most extravagant
outcries of the Southern press are
not without their significance. Tbe
literary swashbuckler wbo fills him
self witb gunpowder and new whis
ky, and lays a raw-bide on the table
before bim when he begins to de
mulish tbe Radical parly and defend
tbe sacred rights of the South, is not
an awe inspiring figure but be does
very often express the sentiments of
bis neiirbb rbood. aad forecast tie

ed Stales and to sweep away all tbe
"Radical lews" by wbtibtbe Repub
lican party attempted to secure tbe
results of the war wben the rebel
States ware allowed to return to
tbeir old places in the Union. Equal
rights, free suffrage, a fair vot, an
bocest cunt, protection for the weak
and ignorant, were the only demand
wbich we made of tbe defeated party
at tbe end of tbe contest, and it was
to guarantee tbese things that tbe
Amendments and the "Radical laws"
w-ere enacted. WbiJe the Republi
can party beld an ondisputea majori
ty in tbe country, we were asfured
tbat the South accepted c verytbiog
on good faith. Tbe Lost Cause was
lost forever. The .doctrine of equal
ity wad oo more to be denied ruber
in practice or in ttcory. Tbe Amend
ments were recognized witbuyt de
mur. Tbe laws parsed in accord
ance with tbem were net to be dis
turbed. Nothing fould have been
more satisfactory tban tb behavior
of tbe Confederates 60 long "as ttey
were out of power, witb no immedi
ate prospect of getting hi. Tbey
were so pr.ouss in promises and pro
testations tbat tbey aljsoet seemed
to be more deeply attached to the
Union tban the soldiers wbo fought
for it.
With tbe first sign of a possible re
turn of tbe Democratic party to pow
er all these pjesat pretences are
soddenly abandoned. Tbe fpirit of
secession, nullification and rnxliion
flames np as bot as It was io I80.
The Lost Cause is airaio a cao-e to
be fought for. Tbe Northern Radi
cal is an eaetoy to be cursed wiib
great soundiug oatLs. The South
ern white Radical is an "inceodiV)'
to be driven out of tne country. The

Radical laws and Radical auand-

other evices of "oppression," are to
be prompil trodden the mire.
There is nothing lilio sudden pros

tbe estimates, $28,310,500 yet to be
appropriated for the support and
maintenance of that branch. None
of the' legislative, executive, and ju

WAsniNOTON, March 17 By
recent adjustment of posh ffice sala
ries, according to the stamps cancel
ed, newspapars sent and cash receipts
of the offices, 145 were added to what
is called the "Presidential list"
tbat is, the salaries were fixed at
over $1,000, and postmasters "receiv
ing tbts salary or auoye are appoint
ed by tbe President, wbile under tbat
bey are appointed by tbe Postmaster
General.
Judge Key thinks that tbe growth
of postoflite receipts is a pretty fair
iudtpaiioq of tbe growth of tbe busi
ness of tbe uouqut. "The sale of
tamps and postal cards and circula
tion of newspapers," says be, "are a
good bavtp;;?!fr to measure tbe busi
uess and iniciligBUbe of communi-
ties " 1

prise, in tbe recent readjustment 01
