An Ohio letter, on another paire, reviewing
the work of the Pcpubliean Convention, shows
in what exe??lient, shape the patty begins tlie
campaign. With a sound plat form, and can?
didates whose records are warranted not to
explode, with the party well consolidated by
the llt'inocrutie attacks upon the President,
and with the diegroi-eful record of (ho Demo
cralic Legislature as a local issue, the pro p. ? t
is bright for good news fron the Pinkeye
State in October. The wisdom with which
points of difference were avuiiled in (his coun?
cil may famish n moral for Republicans in
States not so far W?
It ought to be no mote easy for the nieni
l? n of the Berilo Congress to look in one
another1! faces without laughing than it was
for the ancient soothsayers. The announcement
that Uii-sia has entered into a secret agree
nietit with Austria M well ?is with Ellgland,
reduces the OoBgresB to the level of a conven?
tion for which the candidates and platform
are prearranged. Then- will ht ill DO BO lack
Of vevatiou-i questions if the iliploinali-ts an
willing tO discuss tilt in, but (he siib-tantlal
result of (he Congress is clearly fon shadowed
in the settlements which Piissia, guided by
Germany, has wea lit to make.
It is to be hoped that the Socialist 1
meeting! will coutume. The s-n i;*li-t way of
pntt?ng Boaalisl doctrines is llieir best anti?
dote, and a periodic*! outpouriBg of gro
and piofaiiil.v like that of Saliiiday night
will serve as an occasional reminder of
the character of these 1'iiends o? hiiinanity.
One speaker gBTi an illustration of their sin?
cerity in deooanciog Nobiliog when h?
that they were *- oppoocd to the taking of the
"life of any individual by an individual,'' but
that "for society" they reaerred the right to
the life of any individual. Put, how? v? r
Willing t?a s" people are to t;.!k about killing,
they ore not likely <?> do any. The manual
involved would be an iiisupeiablc objeo
tion.
?
There is ground for abundant congratula?
tion in the fact that the attempt of the Hi.iiM'
to scale down the Army has been iinalU de?
feated IB all its Important features. The (?in?
ference commit tees have agreed?and tie
houses have assented?that the lone shall
aft ut 25,000 men, and that the whole
i)iu -tion of reorganization, including the pro?
posed enlargement ef the functittns of the
War Deportment by the transfer of the In?
dian Pureati, shall he retened to the COBj
atonal Com mission pTOpoped by tho ?i-uate.
With a vexatious Indian war in piospect, thi
is a iraatnrlng dedrioa? which will be useful
aleo as a precedent to be qnoted agalnri the
people who will go on howling for reduction.
The controversy i- to be reri?rs*i, for llr,

Important position it had taken.
Tin; cheat 1 OLLAPSR,
Tho overwhelming vn'.eg by which the HOOM
of Peprestnt.ttives declared IB 1'nduy that the
attempt to unsettlo tin? Piesident's title to
office was "revolulionary," niaiked the end ?if
a great danger. With that declaration the
plans of a MW rebellion were brought t<?
naught, and disiirgauizcrs v. ho intended that
government by law should be overthrown and
the unrestrained authority of passionate and
law-defying factions should be set up in its
place, rccei\cd a fatal blow. Tho defeat has
so anick and so cru??htiig that the people
have hardly had an opportunity to reeliat the
pe? il. For some weeks the country was really
on the rerg< of revolution. A majority of (he
Democrats' Who voted for the 'Jurchard and
HarilidgO resolutions were more or lOMdeeply
involved in the plot, and in obeying tin? incsi-t
lble public Opinion which demanded the repu?
diation of tho scheme, they simply recorded
the general condemnation of their own pur?
pose 8.
We shall now hear from the baffled revolu?
tionists that they never meant to make any
disturbance. In ordoriBf an inquiry into the.
I'n -?dent's title they were merely indulging
an idle curiosity; they had no Intention of
pushing the investigation to a practical result.
Put the people will not be deceived by these
tardy protestaron*. It will bo remembered
that Whoa the quest ion was fairly put to the
originators of this movement, before the ax*
uininntion of witnesses opened, tliey positively
reltised to ?rive any nssiirunro that they would
not try to unseat the Pi evident if they could
find a plausible excuse. It will not be forgot?
ten that Mr. Potter, while apparently admit?
ting that his party was bound by the action
of the Electoral Commission, Derertheleai de*
? land that the action of the Commission might
be reversed by Congress on the plea of fraud in
the ret?irns. At the end of May it was clear
thai tho Democratic House of Pi pr?sentai?ves
meditated the expulsion of Mr. Hayes from
the White House. If now at the middle of
Juno the Bame House condemns that scheme
as revolutionary, to what causes can we at?
tribute the sudden conversion except the dis?
graceful exhibition of Anderson and the men?
acing demonstrations of au aroused popular
sentiment f
It is the superfluous rascality of Anderson
that has saved the public peace. If lie had
a more moderate knavo, if he could have
constructed a story that would hold together
long enough to be nnfolded, if he had not in?
volved himself by palpable and unnecessary
lie? at the very beginning of his testimony,
the consequences of this investigation would
bare been very different. An ?adept in perjury

SENATOR BILL'S LETTER,
Senator Hill, of Georgia, has written n let
1.1 on the subject of the Louisiana mveatiga
tion which lias some political and hist?rica
imp?rtanos, it la ostensibly an argnment t,
prove that the Democratic party ciiinot havi
meant revolution on the 1st of Juno, 1H~H
lu?anse, it disavowed revolution on tin
1 ii11? of February, 1H77. The reasjoning u
not clear, and the few fnoti upon which it h
based do not bear the interpretation which .Mr,
Hill pom upon them. Neveithel?-sa his letter,
a? we have intimated, deserves respectful at?
tention. Mr. Hill has earned the njiplnu a ,,\
i patriotk men by Ins opposition to the ?ehettM ?
of disorganization coneoctid by his Jhmo
eralic associates; and although Ihn plans of
the levolutionists have now njiparently bei n
brought to naught by the failure of Ander?
son's jieijttred t( ?tiinony, wc shall not forget
the courage of Mr. Hill, who withstood the
spiiit of mistihlef while it wus yet strong and
threatening. He invites us to consider the
motives of O?S conduct; niul that we may do
tins tho inoro cii.sily he prints the sp? ? ? h
which lie delivered in caucus when the J >? 111 - - -
cratie members of the Hoit-e met to consider
whether they should filibuster to prevent the
completion of tbe count for l'ic-nlent.
Mr. Hill urged them to go on und lini.-li (he
count: 1, because tho ('(institution required
them to do so; 2, because, having accepted
the Electoral Commission, honor bade them
stand by it ; 3, because keeping out Hayes
would not put in Tilden, but would in?
volve the danger of a civil war and
the establishment of a military despotism;
4, because peaceablo acquiescence would place
the Democracy In a position to pose before
the country as tho party of order and consti?
tutionalism, and assure its victory in 1880.
Here seems to be a very practical and mis?
cellaneous admixture of reasons, and
supposing that there is a moderate al?
lowance of common sense in u Dem?
ocratic caucus we have ccr'ainly no ex?
cuse for surprise (hat Mr. Hnl's advice should
have prevailed. In like manm-r is it natinal
that the conduct of his party associates should
now fill hi in with disgust. Without tho
excuso of sudden excitement, which they
might have pleaded a year ago, they are
tloing some of the chief things which (hey
agreed not to do in the caucus. They have
proposed to turn Mr. Hayes ou(, v?ith 00 OtaS*
sibility of getting Mr Tilden in, and to Sacri?
fi?e, for nothing all the political advantage
v n h they weie sippo-i d to have secured by
accepting the venlict of their own umpire.
No wonder Mr. Mill is ungiy. if he were not
a Democrat himself, he would prob*
Hlily remember that (his is the way
Di iiie.'iats always act. They never get a good
chance at anything without making haste to
throw it away.
In regard to the alleged '* baigain " between
Southern Pernoct?is and the friends of Mr.
Bayes, the statemeat of Senator Hill I
\alue. The pledge which the Southern mem?
bers are s?nd to have made in that famous
mythical compact was that the count should
lie allowed to proceed* Mr. Hill shows that
thi- OOnrSS was agreed upon in caucus, two
weeks before the date of the supposed bargain
?in oilier words, (ha( the p.ir(\ m formal as?
sembly had already yielded, as | matter of pol?
icy, what i( is now protended that they gave up
through S Secret cabal asa matter oi baigain and
sale. We do not think the conduct of the
Democracy in the spring of 1877 was in (ho
least degree eredHable, We have no idea thai
it was i : i tin* meed by any higher motive than
S rear Of tl.c military power and a disuo t.,
iiiaiioiivie for the campaign of L880] but the
talk about a " bargain ** seems to be foolish?
