DEMOORATIC INCONSISTENOY, Democrats oro not uaually embarrassed by any taunts of inconsistency, but their present attitude in regard to tho proposed ropeal of tho National Etection law, as compared with the position they took in tha Inst Congress, ig so illogical and contradictory that it can hardly fail to mako an improssion upon think. ing people. When tho Democrats in the Inst Congress insisted upon the repeal of the Election statutes, and upon attaching such ro- peal to the appropriation billa asin means for assuring its pasengo, thoy justified the pro- eceding upon tho allegation that the statutes in question wore unconstitutional and hence should be expunged. With one House op- posed to them, thoy had not tho courage to avow the purpose of ropenting tho Election statutes in order to facilitate and encourage frauds on tho ballot-box, and unconstitution- ality of tho Inw was alleged ns the oxcuso for their action, But the Demoornts: of tho presont Congress, having n majority in both Houses, coolly abandon this flim- sy protext, ond propose now to repoal only such portions of the Election law as will ronder it practioally inopera- tive, and utterly impotont ns a praventivo against frauds or for tho punishment theroof, But, in nliowing a portion of the Inw to stand (evon though that portion be a dend letter), they admit that the Ganeral Govern- ment has a constitutional right to supervise the Congressional elections, aud theroby sur- render tho only logitimate ronson that could havo beon urged for tha ropent of Inwa for the protection of tho ballot-box, It is rathor strange that a man of Lasan’s ability did not recognizo tho absurdity of the uituation whon ho argued in his eauens speech that tho entire systom is unconstitutional, but immediately added that “'Tho Democracy would placa itself in 9 good position by ropouling tho parts proposed and rotuluing tho sections as to the two Suporvisors.” It would not have ‘beon an easy matter for tho Mississippi Sen- ator'to oxposo more clenrly the glaring incon- sistoncy of the present Democratic position than by indorsing it in those words, ‘fhe caso may be plainly stated ng follows: If the laws which authorizo the Ganeral Gov- ernment to exercise a supervision over the Congressional elections bo unconstitutional, then thoy ought to be repealed tn toto; if they aro not unconstitutional, then thoy ought not to be emasculated, as the Domo- crate now insist they shall be. No man who bolioves: in the American system of olective govorumont will dony that tho ballot-boxes shonld be protected from fraud by every le- gitimate and proper moans; if not, then the sooner wo abandon the olectiva syatem tho hetter it will be for the country, for no des- potism can bo so irksome and offensive os that which the triumph of corruption and violence at the polls would establish, ‘Tho United States Election Inw was passed to pro- tect the ontiro country in National olections from local frauds and violence which might be tolerated in cortain States and districts, and from which the rost of tho country, though suffering the injury, would have no apponl in the nbseuco of a National taw. ‘Tho United States Courts were very properly selécted a4 impartial ayonts for the protection of the National elections, and the Inw pro- vides for the appointinont of two Suporvis- ors, ono roproscuting cavh of the leading political partios at overy voting dintrict, who may appeal to the ofleers of tho United Statos Courts to protect them, to check frauds which thoy discover, and to arrest offenders ogainst tho law.

It ia getting to bo a favorito theory with lawyers who havo murderers for clients that, so far from delays being dangoroua, theroin lies an clement of safety, as public senti- inent,is fickle and forgetful, and the longer o triel can be put off tho less likelihood there is that a man-killer or woman-killer will be hanged for his crime, Pete Srevexa is the griner in this way by that tender atat- ute which permits a criminal to take a oliavga of venne without so much as on honest protonse of fear that ho eannot ob- tain « fair trinl. Tho privilege of playing tricks with justice might be safely abridged without in the lenst endangering the life and liberty of innocent porsons charged with crime. : Senator Tuunsan is about to attompt o reply tothe strong speech of Mr, Hoan on the dangerous and revolutionary encronch- monts of tho Democracy upon parlinmontary precedent in attempting to bulldoze their measures through at tho tail end of nppro- priation bills, Tho Senator from Ohio hag cast his lot with tho ultra-Bourbon wing of the party, and his defouse of tho caucus methods will afford him the opportunity of showing how serviceable a tool ho would prove if ho should be clocted President, Mr. Baxanp, on the contrary, eau hardly be ex- pected to mako a vory vigoroms dofonso of the courcion plan, since ko has fought it with all his power in tho caucus, Taunsan seeins to have the inside track as tho cham- pion of all that is hateful oud unsafo in the Democratio policy, Tho Army Appropriation bill so far as agreed upon by the Honso yesterday: is identical with thnt passed at the closing sos- sion of tho Forty-fifth Congress, Itincludos the clauso authorizing the use of railway telegraph lines for commercial and news dis- patch, but excludes tho reorganization plav and tho reduction clause, tho Jattor being ro- jected by a heavy majority, in which the Greonbackers sided with the Republicans, ‘The only remaining clause to bo conatlered Ly the Hons is that forbidding tho station. ing .of Federal troops near tho polls, ‘This will of course bo pnssed by both Houses, being o necessary element in the goncral scheme of the Democravy to remove all ob. stacles to freo frauds and successful bulldoz- ie at Congressional and Presidential elec- lous, si portunities of the famished hordo of Domo. erats who have rushed to Washington to fill the places ofthe Republicans now holding the subordinato Bennte offices, In every point of viow it fy essontinl that those ex. perienced and compotent officors ahoutd bo retained without regard to politionl changes, ashas been the practice in the Senate for iifty years or more, but the crowd of ap- plicanta will toko no denial, and givo the Domovrats no pence until. thoy uro provided for, 0 it would bo in Chicago if by any misfortune a Democratic Mayor should be elected this spring; it would bo found impossible to resist tho importunttios of the famlahed horde of place-seckora in Chicago, and tho men of skill ond oxpori- ence would be crowded out to make room for thon.

It is for tho purpose of securing immunity for those who have been violating the law in tho past, and in order to facilitate local corruption aud violence at Congrosmonal olcetions in tho future, that the Domvorats are oliminating from the United States statutes overy ling and every word which, if left on tho rtatulo- book, would porn tho iutorferonce of United States authority to prevent and pun- ish frauds in clections whore tha United Slates ns.a whole are concerned. And this ig done, under the present programme, withont ovon 9 protonso that tho Inw is un- constitutional, but morely asa Domocratta expedient. If the Domocrate shall be abla to carry ont their programme and sond tho appropriation bills to the Presidont londed down with anch a echemo of iniquity, he will bo oven moro justified in vetoing those bills than ho would have boon if they had contained an entire repeal of the Etection atntutos ; for, instead of a protenso of un- conatitutionality, they wil contain a confess- fon of corrupt purporor THE CANADIAN TARIFF, Our Canadian neighbors lave beon grati- fled by a now tariff, for which ihe majority so earnestly clamored, but the posscasion does not seem to afford all tho gratification that was expected. No class is antisfied. Tho Govornment followed the publio demand and framed Inw. simed at the exclusion of Amorican products, This, theoretically, was very gratifying to the anti-Yankeo sontimont of the country; but nevertheloss, whon tho blow at the Yankees ia also felt soverely by all classes nt home, thoro is considerable dis- content, ‘The intorests of tha maritime States of the Dominion diffor from those of the in- torior Provincos, ‘Tho Atlantic Provinces export sovaral mill- ions of dollars’ worth of bituininous coal to the United States anuually, and buy cheap flour and othor goods in exchangs, Ontario buys anthracite coal from tho United States, In making up the now tariff a duty is placed on Amorican coal taken into Oannda, but o duty in also plnecd on the American goods whioh the Nova Scotians have been gotting in oxchango for their coal sent to Nowfound- Innd, Exactly how protection protects m that case is yobto bo found out. ‘Tho Ca- nadinn manufacturors fiud asa result that they will have to pay moro for thoir coal be- cause of the protection, thereby adding to thoir cost of production, aud the Canadian railways find in the increased cost of coal a matter of serious oxponse, In anticipation of the change {in tho tariff the country had been pretty generally stock. ed with American goods, which, instead of boing sold at previous low prices, aro now selling to tho Canadians nt the advauced prices seoured by tho protection, Mardly lnd the new tariff been declared in oporation before thera was a general advance in prices of- ovory kind of goods that ontors into domoatic uses. This advance has.fallon with especial novority on two classos, who embraco three-fourths of tho population, The ngri- culturists, tho prices of whose producta aro regulated by foreign markets, find that, without any advance in the price of what they havo to ell, they havo to pay somo 20 por cent moro for overything they havo to buy, Even in tho matter of tea and sugar, 9 heavy duty has been imposed to provent the purclinso of those things from the United States, ‘ho working or tho wages class find thomselves suddenly taxed 20 per cent additional on all thoy have to buy,—that is, it now requires $1.20 to pur. caso clothing, boots aud shoes, conl, fnrni- ture, woolen and cotton cloth, which $1 would havo bought befora the chango in tho tariff, and there is no corresponding incronso in wages. ‘Cho cost of producing overything in the way of manufactures has been in- creased, theroby cutting off whnat forolgn trade the Dominion has had, and the homo consumption. must declino in proportion to tho ndvanco in the cost of production, ‘The policy of ‘the Canadian Government has heretofore been explained in these columns, It is to so incronso the duties on Auerican goody ns to compel tho United States to accept commercial non-intercourre with Canada, or to so reduce the Amorican tariff a8 to establish reciprocal or uniform rates botweon tho two countries, ‘ho sonti- ment of the people of Canada is, porhayis, despite the onti-Yankeo projudicos, in favor of reciprocal trade with the United States, expecinlly as Canada sold to this country Inrgely in excous of her purehases, ‘Tho Government, therefore, has assumed that tha Canadian tariff will havo the effect, costly as it may be to tho Canndinn people, of coercing the United States into a tronty of reciprocal free trade or the reduction of the American tariff to uniform rates with ous to be adopted in Canada, ‘The policy of coorcjon is ona of doubtful succer, ‘Iho United States cau got along very well without any trado with Canada. ‘This country may so modify its tariff as to closo so much of that trado as ix not already closed by tho action of the Canadian Goy- ernment, We think such a’ polley wholly unwarranted ; we think tha best interests of both countries can bo promoted by a cloxo aud inthnate commercinl union, the obliter- ation of all conmoreinl boundarics, and tho {necorporation of the British Provinces with tho United States as ono union for all com- moreial purposcs, We havo looked for— hoped that out of this extraordinary action of the Canndian Government some such union would be established.

It has alone this at tho cost of compelling the peo- plo of Canada to pay au oxceodingly oppres- siva tax, threatening the annihilation of all its foroign trade, If the oxperi- mont should “bo successful, os it is to be hoped it will be, and a Zollveroin or commercial tnioh should follow, the result ‘will fully compensaty the temporary sacrifice. It will open a, uow country to Amorican trade, aud giva to Canada a home market aw extennive au tho American Union, It may iu timo weaken the British connection and proparo tho way for Canadian independence or f political union with tho United States, bnt in such caso that result will be brought abont by pencefal commorco, kind inter- course betwoon tho people, and such a com-. munity of intoreats as will bo irresistible. Such a commercial uvion will bo s guarantes of perpotual peace betweon the two coun- trios, and an extingnishor upon all schomes of violonce or forco to disturb the political autonomy of the Canadinn Dominion. HARRISON AND THE IRISH, Tho Democrntia Campaign Committeo have issned on infamous circular, ‘To the voters of the City of Ohicago.” In this circular it is charged that the Republicans have raised a large corruption fund from the City 'Trons- ury, the County Troasury, and the Fedoral officials, with which to purchase Domoeratio votes. Tho circular proceeds to state that thoy (the Democrats) ‘havo nothing to offer (to voters) but the purity of thelr principles and the certainty of n puro and economical Administration.” Then follows this astound- ing proposition in moral ethics: ‘This mongy [s your money, wrung from you hy. ‘Republican oflclals, They openty proclaim that your votes are for sale, and the only way to ropel this Insult ia to take the monoy and vote uy you please."* chew A curlous illustration of tho Democratic idon of ‘‘ puro pringiples,"—n singular way to ropel an insult,—thatis to say, by tho accoptance of a bribe coupled with a lic to the would-bo bribot! ‘This extraordinary cirentar is signed ‘71.

Disgrace and shame to the country follow closoly in tho footsteps of the Domocratic party aa it mounts to tho sent of power, During cightoon yonra of Republican control of tho United States Sonate uo taint of scan. dal haa attached to its corps of servants, A time-honored rulo of the Sennto, dating back to tho days of Demoorntio nscondency, pro- tected thoir tonuro of office during good be- havior; and this rule was observed by tho Republicans throughout all thoir long term, so that on tho assembling of tho prosont term thirty Domoorata wore found on tho Senato official list. This rule the Domocrata inade haste to trample upon, and it is an- nounced that thoy have parccled ont the places, from highost to lowost, according to tho roprogentation of tho States, ‘They have not only done thiy, but thoy have in tho very outset disgraced the Sonnto and reflected humiliation upon the country by choosing, to Mill tho highest places in their gift, two men not of doubtful reputation ‘but of woll-ostablished itl-ropute, It fs publicly stated that Burou, tho newly-oleoted Sacratary of tho Sonate, as Into a8 1878 bought ond paid money for tho offico of Comptroller of tho State of Tonnoraco; that ho bought it for tho pure poso of administering it corruptly, and that ho did administer it corruptly, An invosti- gation developed tho, fact that ono Gon. Manny, of Kuoxvillo, paid Boron $2,000 for the “manipulation” of tho market on 'Ton- nosseo bonds, This ‘* manipulation” was ac- complished through tho publication, in the Nashville American, of such dispatches and editorials os would affect tho bonds in tho intorest of Manny and his ring of specu- Jators, Of Sergeant-nt-Arms Baron it is said thot several years ago ho was indicted in Indiana for fraudnlontly obtaining largo sums on cortain printing contracts with the State, and that ho escaped conviction only on tech- uicalitios, The presumption that Domooratic Senators did not know the charactor of these mon when thoy voted for them will not boin their favor, Tho country will conclude, not that they aro fools, but rather that 9 major- ity of thom are knavos, This theory isborne out by tho high-handed mannor ia which they evidently design to override tha rnles and ctiquotto of tho Sonate by allusions fo caucus action aud the practical introduction of tho previous question as a rule of de- hate. It is n- violation of Senatorial courtesy to cnt off dobato in any way, but the Domocrats, on Tucsday, forced an carly adjournmont to prevont a debate on Hoan’s rosolution declaring tho action of tha Democrats on tho appropria- tion bills “revolutionary.” Tho Demoorntiv sido of the Senate is no match for tho Re- publican sido in dobate, but the Democrats have the votes, and it ia plain that they pro- pose to nse them without regard to otiquatte, rules, or courtoay. .

Tost Buronp, a fino old Kentucky gentloman, has had 9 caso pending for somo timo past in tho Court of Appeals at Frank. fort, tho Ospital of the State. Eightoan months ago the case was docided in tho lower courts against him, nnd the Shoriff at. tempted to levy on his proporty to satisfy the judgmont. Col. Tos: Buronp theroupon barricaded his place, and defied tho officers -| of tho law to do thoir duty. Tho Sheriff be. slegad him, but tho fine old Kontucky gontlo- man came out shead of the Sheriff, and tho Inw officers failed to do theirduty. Gol. Tosr Buronp thon appealed his case, though it is somowhnt singular that ho should have ap- poaled, since ho was ablo to defy the procosses of tho Courts nnd the authority of tie State, Ho had a hoaring in tho Court of Appeals at Frankfort, Justices Exttorr and Pnyon sit. ting upon the Lonch, and tho decision of the Towor Court was ofiirmed. Thon Col. Tost Buronp, the fino old Koutueky goutleman, took his double-barreled shot- gun and wont hunting. for Judgos, He stationed himself at the front door of the principal hotel of the city and waited for the Judges, who had dared to ro- flect upon tho ‘ honor” of a Kontucky gon- tloman by deciding n caso agamst him, to como to dinner, It is probablo that if person should post himsolf at tho front door of nhotel in Chiiongo with a shot-gao in his hands, waiting for somo ono, it would causa somo sonantion, and tho hotel proprietors would request him to leave, failing to do which ho would either bo kicked out by the servants or oscorted away by the police, In Frankfort, howovor, it attracted no moro notice that’ if ‘did when' Cox wont hunting for Arston. It is probably a way they havo in Kontucky, and no one cared to interfore with Col. Tost Buvonn when in quest of amusoment of thissort. Ho had not to wait long before Judgo Exatorr mado his apponr- auce in company with his-bench associnte. Col, Tost Buronn inyited him to take a drink, which he declined, and thon proceeded on his way. ‘Thon Col, ‘fost Burchp turned round, drown bend on him, and shot him dead on tha spot, coolly romarked that he was sorry, and put his hat undor his head, Having disposed of Judge Exurorr, Col. ‘Loxs Buronp then proceeded to disposo of Judgo Payor in the some satisfactory manuor, but thoro wore some childron in tho way, and, having sufi- cient consideration for them not to rivk slaughtoring sone of thom, ho hosltated long onongh to givo the Judgo an opportu. nity to make his escape, Thon Col, ‘ost Buronp quiotly'gavo himsolf up and wont to jail, and van hug tha certainty to his hoart that nothing will-bo dono to him, If tho murder had becn committed in somo rural soction of the Stato, up in Bronthitt County, for instance, the relations of the decoased would have clubbed togothor and taken revengo by killing Gol. ‘Yost Buronn, and then Col. Tom Buvonn's relatives would have ‘yYevonged hin, aud so on, ‘Mr. Henny Warrensoy, in his rocant article intho North American Review, laid it down a8 ouniversal weakness of the poople of his section that in thelr public sposches and writinga they wero too rhetoric and bom- bastio, and did not give sufllciont attention to solid fncta aud mathomatics, In view of tho long aud bloody ecatalognes of inurders that aro sont over tho wires ovary day from tho South, it would appoar that the Southorn rhetoric and bombast aro displayed in their public actions quite as much as ih thelr pub: liv speeches, It would seem to bo in order now for Mr. Warrenson to give ns an article on Southern savagery, and especially upon thia infamous nud cowardly assassination, From all accounts tho ducoased was a jurist ot high attainments and a kindly-disposed gentlonina who was respected by all who know him, Ilis decision was undoubtedly just ond correct, since it was snetainod by his asgoviato on the bench, aud affirmed tho decision thot was mado in the lower Court. 'Lhero was nothing political in tho fssuo, for the deceased was a Demoorat, and had fought in tho Confedorato armies, and itis only Republicans thant aro usnally solected in tho South for killing, In tho samo article to which wo linve reforred, Mr. Warrenson sighed because the South did not have the mathomatical and practical bent of the North, Perhaps we can help him, thora- fore, in tho solution of the problom of South- orn savagery. Tho mathamatics of such a ease in tho North would bo that tho iufamous scoundrel would bo speodily hanged, and that is whore tho Southern pooplo aro: at fault, "Thoy hang plentyof pooplo, but they hang the wrong ones, as thoy only hang Republicans who are rash enough toavant to voto or aro audacious enongh to express opinions hos- tile to tho sentiments of Demoorusy, ‘hoy must commence hanging these sneak. ing, cowardly murdorors, Wanging is o cold, hard, mathematical — fuct that con be easily appreciated, aud if the Bouthern people want to commence the study of Northern mathematics, thoro is no hetter place to begin than at hanging mur- derors, If thoy will poralat in hanging them instead of lotting them go soot free, they will be astonished to find how quickly this indiscriminate slaughter will begin to dispp+ pont, and how few Southorn gontlomen will dio with thelr boots on. — ‘Tho Bounte ‘Damocrats aro Nkoly to hava ag much trouble about their now Sorgennt. al-Armaas tho Ilouso Democrats have had with n succession of unfortunate Doorkeep. era, Dntanr was formerly Btato Peintor in Indinnn..

Southorn justico is still further oxomplificd by tho oruol treatment of tho nogro Pyyperarags, who had tostt. fiod for tho Government in tho Kings- tred election disturbaness. Tha unfortunate nogro told the truth about the Domocratia outrages in that State, which haveaince boen mado: matters of matioual record. Jor thus testifying to the truth ha was arrested for libel; dragged bofore ono of Hasrrox's Judges, was rofused tho right of having counsol, and was sontenced to two yoara in the Penitentiory. In Louisiana thoy carry this thing still furthor by running witnessoy for tho Govornmont off into the woods and hanging them, or driving them out of tha Stato altogether, Probably the Lonisvillo Courier.Journal would call tho treatment of tho poor wrotch in Sonth Carolina tho result of tho rhetoric, ideality, aud impulse of the Sunny South; but the mors practical North regards it as an act of infamy that onght to consign overy one coucerued in it to tho Ponitontiary for life, . . _——_—_—— ‘The Iion, A.
