Congress and the Admivistration are mak Ing up a record which will insure success to the Democrate in the contest for the next House, provided the latter exhibit good gense in their conduct of the campaign. Whe Democrats can present before the peo- ple a fearfully long indictment against the Republicans for their eins of omission and commission since Gen. GRANT took the oath of office. For example: The Republicans, as a party, have not shown the sli t eympathy for the Cu- bans in their struggle for independence, but, on the contrary, have humbled our Govern- bicut at the feet of one of the weakest and meanest despoticms {in Europe, bartering human rights tor Spanish gold paid to the son-in-law of one of the Republican leaders, They have done nothing toward the set tlement of the Alal: but, on the contrary, Senator SUMNUR some time ago fot off a string of rhetorical extravagances on that subject at which England became angry, and all the rest of Europo made sport; while our Minister at the Court of St. James's seems to find time only for dining with aristocratic flunkeys and drawing his balary, They hi n of official par.ty on ade on ostenta Pp! in driving from Congress or two small carpet baggers for bestow: ing eadetships in retarn for presents; but when asked to strike at like offenders of a lottier grade they have skulked away, leav. ing corruption undisturbed in thie high places of the Government. the question whether appointed any juest of ALT. 8 wag any reason for st nts except that Strwant had goven Giant money, They have refused to abolis! ond wu of their e They would not even Gen, perhead investigate GRANT had the odious ational income tax, and boast nance because, by keeping up War taxes in time of peace, they are able to bull the stock market, and Luy five-twentics at a prew When Congress is in segsion, and en- gaged in niatusing the most important biils of the year, and when the lurid cloud of an Indian war is rising on the Westera hor Dn, the Republican Pre-ident rans hither and thither over the country to participate In small jollifications at the invitation of charla- tans and demagoyues, to the negleet of the public business aud the disgrace of his high offler, It is onsuch a record that the Republican party propose to go to the country in the coming campaign for the choice of the next House of Representatives.

In the famous protocol negotiated by Gen, Bancock, “ Aide-de-Camp of His Ex- cellency Gen. GRANT,” with President BAEz, it was stipulated that the latter should re. ceive, pending the ratification of the treaty, from the Chief Magistrate of the United States, one hundred thousand dollars in gold as a species of pledge for the consummation of the bargain, and fifty (houeand dollars’ worth of arms besides, v which to terrify his rival Cannan. This amount of $150,000 has been actually paid over by Grant to Barz from the secret fund of the State Department. The treaty having been rejected by the Senate, the American people have conse- quently the right to claim the restitution of this large sum thus paid over to Mr. Barz; and should the latter decline to disgorge, war may have to be made upon him for its recovery, service ——__- The Indians Disgusted. The riticulous display made at the in- stance of Secretary Fist in the White House, befure Rep CLovp and SroTtep Tatt, seems to have filled the aboriginal mind with boundless contempt for their Great Father, and they have their native wilderness deten him to the bitter end. " ¢ grim chieftains of an exasperated and ferocious race came to Washington to lay the'r grievances before the President, In. stead of being received in a manly way, they were treated to strawberries and ice cream, and to the sight of fashionable dowagers and gaping aliens. They left the White Houee in disgust, determined to make war upoa the whites, whose unseemly ed ir savage returned to ned to fight exhibition in the national wigwam ec like a farce and a mockery to th feclings.

Would it not be well be the adjourn. ment of Congress to look into this little matter, now that war has happily ceased to call for such enormous and irresponsible ex penditures? Gen.

It was proposed during the administra. tion of the State Department by Mr. Sewann; but that great man responded in such a manner that it never came up again during his time. Now it is revived by Mr. Motuey, who appears to have assured Lord Cianenpon that Gen, Grant and Mr, Fist have agreed to make the change. From whom did Mr. Motey receive this informa- tion? Is it possible that Mr. Fisr, in view of his own probable transfer to that post, encouraged Mr. Mottey to make such a representation? However, it makes no great difference; for Mr. Motter is soon to come home, and nobody can say that Mr. Fis will succeed him wotil bis nomination has been confirmed by the Senate.
