A8mcmz Env TAMDIANY's response to the invita lion to join with other Democrats in an attempt to mriako theparty respected as well as respectable in NOw York city is long, cool and windy. It denies the right of any btly of mon to ask any thing whatever of Tammany, declare-s Tammany to be all that remains of Democracy, wisdom and virtue In that part of the world and charges all the past sins of the party to (lhe bad, bad men who have not (one as Tammany told them to do. Tn United States Senate has passed a bill appropriating a hundred and sevonty-five thousand dollars for the purpose of fitting a Shi) to go in search of the exploring ship Jeannette, sent out by James Gordon Bennett to the Arctic Regions in 1879, and which has not been heard from lin months. The House will probably pass the bill, and a proper vessel will be found at San Francisco. There Is barely sufficient time to get the relief ship ready for sea, and the loss of a month may mean the loss of an entire season. The expedition is more in the -Interest of' humanity than of science. The Joannette Is not the only vessel the secret of whose fate is *locked In the hiozen northiern seas, and( it will be thle duty of the commander of thle re lief ship to search for the missing whalers as well as for the American exploring shilp. IN these days of monument-building, Edgar Allen Poe is not forgottei. Maryland, the State which gave him birth, was the first to erect a shaft to his memory, and now a iovenient is being made in Now York city to raise funds for constructing a Poe monu ment in Central Park, which shall be regarded in the light of a National recoglition of his genius. None of our American poets achieved so great a fIine as Poe Iin the period of his brief life. There was an originality and beauty about his style which won the admiration of his readers and fixed his name enduringly in their minds.

Februiary 5.--Inm the Sonate, o Thursday, the -Iepublicanls resorted to a favorito -.'evico to mortIfy the Dmnocrats. They exposed tle fact that there was no eocratic quormn, although a caucus hti been held to rush througIiSeiiator Morgan's concurrent resolution as to tle power of the Vice-President to count the electoral vote. Subsequent legislation demonstrated that there was an almost absolute agreement upon both sides, but it was a shrewd trick of the mi nority to expose to the country - the weakuicss and want of discipline of the majority. The Democratie Sena tors, paired or absent, were Williams, Ranson), Wallace, Bailey, Birown, Grover, Maxey, Randolph and Voor, hees. Of these, Brown was in Atlm ta, attending to his railroad rneeting, Maxev In Texas, surveying his mended fences, Wallace paired with Don Cain eroni, who is engaged in electing a Republican Senator, and the others "scattering." The specles of Conk ling, Edimunds and Thurman upon the Morgan resolutions were in their ordi nary vemii and not imuch to brag about -t pompous waste of words upon what Senator Butler pithily calls the failure of the Constitution to establish or provide for a returiing board. The isolated vote of Senator rh*to, of Mariyland. is explained in his desire to be consistent with his past record. when the gallant stand lie made for the electoral vote of Georgia, with eight other Democrats -all there were in the Senate-was highly appreciated in the South at that time. Here is all other straw to show the drift of the Wind. Tihe battle over Captain Page and his widow's claim for $130 was par tially resumed yesterday, when Mr. Goode withdrew the bill. Mr. Con ger managed to inject one of his favor ite speeches, much to the discomfiture of' Mr. Goode. Distasteful as the truth is, let our people learn it wisely and bear it becomingly. They have been robbed and plundered, it may be, by various pretexts of war and un friendly legislaticn, but their chances o' getting a dollar from the treasurv upon any' claim thit hints of the Wiar, are of the dimmest description. The fear of bouthern war claims is what, more than anything else. ites the Republican party ill a co0IIImOI1 cause, and keeps the D emocrats at a disad vantage. The Republicans. are not naturally harmoinious. Tihey would split lp if such men as Jolin Goode and other Columbian orators wotild uise at least discretionary valor.

Upon this admissiotthey I will base a "CoiminittCO on Smellhig" to carry a drag-net tlrough the South for the double purpose of party capl tal and the expulsion ad unseatiug of sone forty Congressmen. Keppler's cartoon in Puck repre senting Jay Gould swinging by tle strangled neoks of Commerce an'd the Press has been widely distributed aimong Congressmen. It has created a sensation, but that iN all. One of the "results of the war" Is that we shall have a Master. It Is a daniger ous and uipleasant, catastrophe, but our Northern friends would have it so. What matters it, whether Gould or Grant? For my part I have no fear of' Gould, and the South need not fear him, unless Indeed she should engage in speculating agaltist him commer elily. It Is the eternal Jaw that men who war on Imunity shall perish, in God's good time. It'Is said that Gould Is to-day more powerfuil than. Alexan der the Great or Napoleon. I doubt that; but the Greek conqueror's em pire fell to pieces at his death, and the French Emperor gnawed his heart away on a barren isle of the ocean. Old John Quincy Adams used to say that n1egrro slavery in the United States would Perish "in God's good time." So It did. The slavery to Jay Gould, if it exist at all, will not long endure. Public lilbert is severelv threateied, but it is not wholly lost. It may be throitled and seem to die, but it'will burst its bonds and assert itself, even in the East. J. R. it. CArTUE OF A CONVXCr. Columbia Itegimter, February 9. An esc.iped convict named Sam Davis, colored, was arrested night be. fore last at Killian's station, on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Iailroad, and brought to Columbia yesterday morning. Davis was one of five convicts who escaped ten days ago from the Ashe ville and French Broad Railroad. Ie had been convicted of grand larcency .. the Fall term, 1880, of the Court for Richland county and sentenced to two! years in the penitemiary. It was supposed, from information, that the escaped convicts were in the neighborhood of White Oak, Fairfield counLty, and Captain Sligh accordingly went to that point. There he ascer tained that Davis had gone to Winus boro. Captain Sligh then went to Winnmishoro by private convevance, and found that D.avis had golie further south, as was supposed. to Columbia. Captain Sligh took the 5 p. in. train to Columbia, this being last Monday afternoon, the 7th instant. When tile trait got about three miles this side of Doko, Captain Sligh noticed a ne gro man in the cars who looked like Samn Davis, with a bandage tied over his head aid having only his left eve exposed. The negro also appeared to be watching Caplain Sligh very close ly. After awhile the conduet'or caie ut and asked the itegro for his fare, and in doing so stood for a moment between him and Captain Sligh, when the negro jumlped n n1 d rani to I Ie car dloornd ( jlumplied out. Captain Sligh beiing by this time convymeed ttct hi ws i m t raniaer him but1 gilt to hedoJutuim to see thei fellowv jump oilf tile plattormn.
