Tho Coming" Struggle. jfk Tho struggle that will bo begun in nbout a fortnight, says tho Atlanta (On.) Constitu tion, will not bo ono hotwoen tho two houses, lt will be hotwoen tho executivo powor fighting for tho rotontion of tho passionate results of a eivil war, and tho legislativo powor fighting for a froo ballot and a return io a patriotic and national policy. In rory many respects tho oontost will rcsomblo thnt hotwoen tho Marshal Prosidont of I'ranoo and tho Cham ber of Deputies r.flor tho 10th of May. Thc Democrats have a similar battle to make in ' favor of popular liberty, nod tho Radicals will roly, Uko MucMnhon, upon bayonets, cont ral i/.ai ion und a swarm of ofliciils, ready, if nood bo to reheat thc criiuo of 1870. This is tho oontost in a nutshell, and tho Demo crats will assuredly not bd found wanting. And public sentiment in cv ."?ry part of thc country will sustain them, after vcars of peace, when everybody is hoping for a rcii'r'i of prosperity. Who is ibero that wants a law that would, if strictly enforced, put only ignorance or malien in tho jury boxes of fifteen S?nica? What business man wants 'tho polls surrounded by soldiers whenever tho necessities of tho d?minant party demand it? Who dosiros to givo tho Republican managers full swing to bribe with tho money of tbo people mon by employing thom ns Doputy Marshals or Supervisor?? Tlieso questions present the pointant ?asno between tbo two parties, and ibero is not an honest and nt thc samo timo fully iuformcd man who will answer ono of thom in tho affirmas ti vc? Tho exact course that will bo adopted at tho extra session ?rf not determined. Mr. Beck says Congress will pass nets repealing tho obnoxious statutos, thus giving tho Presi dent and opportunity to aot upon them upon thoir morita. If ho vetotla thom, they will bo attached to tho appropriation bills. As most of tho legislation sought to bo repealed was inflicted upon tho country by tacking it upon tho appropriation bills, it is plain that thc mouths of tho Radical blatherskites aro stopped ns to that particular method. But whatovor tho programme may bo tho Domo .crnts aro plodgod to insist upon nn erasure of these unjust laws from tho statute books, no matter how long it may tako or how much the Chandlors and Bogans may flounce and fumo. Tho probable result is that tho army and tho legislativo bill will go to tho Prosidont with tho Democratic amendments attached. What will ho do about it in that case? That is tho problem of tho day. If ho vetoes thom tho wheels of tho Qorornmont would bo blocked, nitor tho first of July, un loss Mr Hayes again concludes to run tho machino outside of ah laws'. If ho vetoes tho legisla tivo bill bo cuts off hi.-} own salary; and bc is a prudent man. Ho wOu'.'d hardly attempt to draw bia salary under his poeuliar title, unless Ibero was a fund from v. ..iel' '.' Pp'lld lawfully bo taken. Ho would hardly oon cludo to dissolve tho army. In a word, thb Democrats can compel tho Republican party to uudo ita wickod work, thereby giving tho country rest, pence, and, niter a while, pros' polity. Public Bcntimont is with them, justice and patriotism aro arrayed on thoir sido; all that is lacking is bnckbono in our roprosontativos to stand up against tho bowl ing Jaoobins of tho minority sido of tho two ohambors. That is all, but that has long been a missing ingredient. -. ?>. Adgor College.

A Strang? Way to Dispose of Stolen Property. On Inst Sunday tight about 9 o'olook a nogro by tho nnmo of Alfred Byrd ontiio into Fair Piny nnd notified Messrs. It. F. Pullon, W. S.

Tho vest lins no mark, and is a coarso ono worth about $1.25. Tho glovos aro of tho chinchilla brand, faced willi leather, nnd the but has T W--1.60 marked on it. Why Mr. Byrd (?) wns singled out or rather his gateas a depos itory for thc goods, or why they woro left by tho omer at all anywhero, aro tho two ques tions first to bo solved and whero they came from thc third. There is no suspicion attached to anybody? Any ono proving property cnn get possession of ibo goods from Mr. It F. Pullen. Alfred seems to bo very much troubled about tho mutter. 0, Tho Democrats Cannot Yiold. The Democrats did right in insisting upon tho repeal of the laws for intel dering with nnd carrying elections, even though tho re sult is an ostra FOSbion of Congress. Tho Republicans wero tho obstructionists, nnd | r upon I liciii thc blain o lests for defeating thc I fi appropriation bills; mid now their pm ty j r papers urge Mr. Hayes io pursue a course that would be practically little less than re volutionary. They say he ought to veto the appropriation bills containing ibo repealing clauses, when thc new Congress passes thom, and run thc risk of leaving his administra? (?on without tho money to carry it ntl. Of course b>th houses, being Democratic, will retain these clauses, and while Mr. Hayes might exercise his e institutional power of the veto, ho would hardly venture to stop the wheels (if Government by resisting measures so wholesome in themselves nnd ho in con formity with our free institutions. Tho Democrats, representing so fully the people and tho States in both houses of Congress, cannot yield in this case. There is an impor tant principle bearing upon the integrity and preservation of mr form of government, involved, and they cannot give way. I AY,e York Star. ' ll! Southern Baptist.
