are hints beco now that the

throughout the session and is to be
applied to all important legislation.
It is a cari?os condition of affairs. I

ito'has evidently no parp?se of eoo

The lines were drawn to-day and last
night as rigidly as if there were two
opposing parties ta the Legislatore.
' The TiIIman men of both- houses met
in caucus, io their respective chambers
and made a clean sweep. Of coarse it
was right tbatahe-inajority should elect
its speaker , bat for the changes in the
of the houses- there was
oo reason, so far as I am informed,
except thai; the places fiUed^fy faithful
aad honest Democrats were coveted
fey Democrats of another faction so Car
untried. 1
Colonel Sloan, clerk of the House,
heid that position before the war.. The
first official act of the Wallace House
to?er.the e?eetion of iti speaker in 1876
was to elect John T. Sloan, who bad
beeen dismissed by the Radicals, as its
.clerk: \Hs has bees re-elected eyery

recognised as a model officer. Mr.
Browne, sergeaot-at-rrms, filled that
position in the Wallace House aod has

If there was any State House ring
these meti surely were not in it. If
Ib?re has been corruption or an oligarchy
>or any of the other things which ! Capt.
Tii?sao promised to show us, they are.
not responsible. They have been re
elected by Farmers' Movement Houses
, ?ad:e?ery other kind. They have done
' tnefr doty faithfuP.y and unobtrusively
aod earned what they got. It U likely
that in open session they _ would have
beea re-elected. The caucus was
brought to bear on tbem and tbey have
The two Houses will

_ being sadly tangled somewhere j
ila the rash of business wheu it begins
it will be next to a miracle.
The two Houses appear to be com
: posed of good, solid, honest imber, bat
ibe balk of the members appear to me
to be of the kind who will be rarely
beard 00 the floor, who will be a little
alow in seeing points aod reaching con
ci usions and ti id in anqoooeiogytbem,
who will be led and moulded and guided
this way aad that by a few young,
bright, aggressive leaders. . There
* m*j he[ sowever, in the ;body of the
i membership. some of the slow going.
i bard headed kind who will not accept
guidanoe easily, who have the faculty of
telling rad?-; truths distinctly and who
will command' bearing and impede any
- mah in a wrong direction. -.
Let o?s hope so. The start made ap
pears to me toJ>e a bad. ooe. It tends
tio Grivrtb? ftf???v? tbi party-further
. apart/ . It does?-^nat go at all in the
directioo of peace. It keeps, alive all
~t?? animosities of the last campaign.
The caucus system declares in effect
? that Democrats. who opposed Tillmeo's
Domination are to have no part io the
Jcond.act of the State's affairs. Charles

Senate to-day. They had seen fit to
eject Bepreseetatives and Senators who
' opposed Capt. Ti Uaeo's nomination by
the party, end wace puniiaed for it by
\ virtual disfraec% isement.
That ? not right ia? e?ery fair
minded man who reads this fcnows it is
not right. It is not right in principle
<er wise in politics.
After the election every Democrat?
certatolfy every Democrat who voted the
party's ticket?ought to be counted as
good as any other aod ought to have
the same rights sts any other. Fighting
before' the nominations and coming to
gether afterwards is the .doctrine of
every party man. The policy here now
appears to be to carry the fight inde
finitely, to hold open the branch and
widen it, to prevent the possibility of
getting together by ruling the defeated

The Race question.
The. "short and easy way" of saying
H?tt the government ought to protect
jsvefy voter ta the right of votiog does
sot dispose of the race question in the
.Southern States. Two recent practical
movements in those States throw a
great deal of light opon it. In the
fate election Judge Haskell, as an -
dependent Democrat candidate for the
#overnorehip ta Sooth Carolina against
the regalar Democratic candidate, invi
ted the-apport of the colored voters
which hie competitor repelled. Tbel
itepublicari committee advised the sap
x>rt of Jadge H ask el!, as a step toward
he practical recognition of the right
jnffrage among the colored citisene.. '
- Judge-H ositeli was defeated, bat Hie
?andidacy illustrates the truth that the
jolation of the difficulty lies in the
legitimate division of the white vote at
the polls, which carries with it naturally
the division of the colored vote, and
makes it the interest of a11 sides -O have
that vote freely cast, which was the
theory of the reconstruction bills. The
problem is to opeo a clinched band.
A force hiU I :is a vise - whioht holds it |
clinched mora firmly. Congress has
the constitutional right, we. believe,, to |
pass a national election, bill, as it has
right to declare war with Ko gland.
But tbe existence of such a right is not
an argument for its exercise, ?olii it
shown in both cases that its exercise
may be reasonably expected io predace
the resalt sought. f.
