Titc Republicans are once more at
tempting acts of Lo'd and recklos
villiany in keeping with the crime
stained record of that infamous party.
The stormiest scenes of years are be
ing witnessed daily in the lower house
of Congress.
The arch-conspirator, Chairman
Quay, (with ihesanction of the "unco
guid nun in the White House)
conceives a scheme by which seven
teen lawfully elected Democratic
members of the House of Representa
tives can le summarily ejected and
their seats filled by contesting Repub
licans, to the end that his party
majority in that body will be sutiicient
and secure, and the passage of a na
tional election law and contemplated
raids on the treasury Ire readily con
summated. Sjvaker Reed, who owes
his elevation to his peculiar fitness for
this kind of work, proceeds to carry it
it into execution with a high-hand.
The code of rules which have hcre
'ofore governed thej House are abol
ished and the adoption of new rules
ndefinitely postponed, the Speaker in
.he mean time being invested with
autocratic powers and enabled to ride
ough shed over the Democratic mi
nority. The first of the contested
election eases, that of Smith vs. Jack
son, of West Virginia, is called, and
the committee reports that it deems it
unnecessary to consider evidence and
that die Republican contestant is enti-
tied to the scat. The Democrats pro
test against such unfair proceedings,
but Mr. Reed turns to them a deaf
ear.' He violates the commonest par
hamentary usages to thwart them.
But the height of his offending lies
in ruling as to what constitutes a quo
ruin. Mr. Carlisle says : "All have
held from the beginning of Congress
down to this diy that a majority must
not only be present to constitute a
quorum, but a quorum must partici
pate in the legislation." In defiance
of precedent and the constitution Mr.
Reed, the Democrats refusing to vote,
has the names of a number of Demo
crats entered upon the Journal as vot
ing and thus declares the result. Mr.
Crisp, cf Georgia, who is bravely and
ably leading the Democracy in this
crisis, sa)s: "Twenty men voting,
fifteen in the affirmativ;and five in the
negative, under the ruling of the
Shaker of the House he can declare
that there are one hundred and fifty
others present not voting and that
the yeas have it." That this is un
constitutional conservative Republi
can newspapers freely admit. -That it
is rank revolution is beyond question.
The Democrats do not intend to,
:m.ek ei;l;niit to hiive thtir rights
trampled ujion, ;.d have' adopted dil
iatory tactics to obstruct unfair legis
lation. Filibustering under thecircum
stance is not onlv excusable but to
be commended. Desperate cases re
nuiredesnerate remedies. Excitement
1 1
among the members reaches fever pitch
The arbitrary decisions of the Speaker
are recei.rd with eroans and hisses
from the Democrats:.
Itt two instances Speaker Reed
narrowly cscaed chastisement. Whiie
violence is to bi deprecated, yet if
Mr. Cowles, of North Carolina, had
choked him until his tongue hung out,
or Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, pummelled
him until his own mother would not
have recognized his flaby features, he
would have received less than his
deserts.
Denunciations are being hurled at
him thick and test. Mr. Springer, of
Illinois, declared that the assumption
of power is 'tyranny, simple and una
dulterated," and intrepid Mr. Bynum,
standing squarely in front of the
Speaker's desk, in thundering tones
characterized it as "arbitrary, outra
geuus; damnable and in keeping with
1 he acts of the Republican party"
which "stole the presidency in 1876,
stole Montana by fraud in the recent
election, and is harboring a political
scoundrel in Indiana."
It looks as if the Republicans will
accomplish their fraudulent purposes,
unless there is a break in their ranks
and that - is hardly probable. The
three North Carolina Representatives
of that political faith are hand and
glove with their prrty. They, we pre
dict, will certainly be rebuked and
retired from public service at the next
election, and a lik' doom may over
take a majority of their associates.
Republicanism and scoundrelism (the
words are synonymous) are rushing
headlong to a grave from which there
will be noreurrection.
