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most of tho legislation sought to bo repealed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.

How to Rob a Stage Coach?
Tho process (if robbing a stage coach is very

flint the American or nny other traveler
sally does is to hand over his revolvers and

nd good that ho luian'i anything about him
f any value, nnd then go down into his
ockots and bring out purses nml watches

THE Oil IN KSK QUESTION.
On the Chinese question he expressed tho
ipinion that Mr. Hayes' notion was right,

T W--1.60 marked on it. Why Mr. Byrd (?)
wns singled out or rather his gateas a depos

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.

cully speaking, to tench tho two brunches of

was shamelessly impudent in tho lust Scnuto

'1. The Jail is in goo l condition, clean mid
eal. We (Ind only two prisoners in jail,
'hey appear lo tie comfortable.
3. We have examined tho county offices and
nd them generally well kept, except that ol'
'oiiuiy Treasurer. This oflioo is not in good
ondilion. The Treasurer has been before us.
lc has failed to mnko his reports regularly to
lie County Commissioners, School Com missioner
nd Comptroller General. We recommend that
committee consisting of 0. K. Maxwell, W. J.
lix mid J. T. Pa id bo appointe ! to examino
Iiis oflice and see whether llioso irregularities
fleet injuriously ibo interest of tho tax payers,
s wc have not thc time to ito so. Thc Treasurer

ray for (ho redress of (hoir grievances.
(J. Our predecessors have from (imo lo limo
ccommended Hint our citizens disoountonanoo
lio illicit tvallie in whiskey, which is in viola
ion of both tho laws of tho State and of (ho
Jnilcd Stalos, and assist (ho officers in bringing

iquors through (ho country demornli/.os not only
