In 1R74 the country thought It •houkl like to hare a Democratic Uoaie of Reprawnlativea at Waahlngton, and it went to the potla to eecuro that ewect boon, and it did aecnre it; and if it doea not now with it bad not tocnied it we are ready to conical that wo know nothing about popular »entlmehL The lain Bepubllcan Home of Itopraieotativca wa. not a whit better than It jhould hare been; indeed, it woo far from lelng u good M it iboald hare been, and yet It bad leaden who knew how to control It; it bad prinoipics by which it waa governed, and It had a system by which it did Us work: Tim Democratic Hoorn has virtually done nothing to offer as an excuse, and Us sins are not only of omission

InqulrtT. If there is any Democrat in Philadelphia who has.any doubts as to tho utter desperation ami unfairness of the Ilomocratlc loaders In Congress, tins doubt ought to bo dissolved by the manner In which the. committoea of his party have pursued Mr.. Blaine since his defeat by the Cincinnati Convention and daring bis retirement In Washington, and alsoTiy-thc leas investigation they have instituted in regard to the telegrams of Presl. dent Thomas A. Scott in roll this same enso. Tho whole . Ing Is so base and unworthy and Illegal that we think even thi ted member of the Democratic party will hold up his hands In horror of it. There is, indeed, very little difference between these practlcca and the Spanish Inquisition, and It would seem jib ir the sudden Democratic majority in tho pnpeut House of Representatives had resolved, not only to hasten tho overthrow of their party Jn thq next election, but to cover it with unutterable disgrace and shame at the same lime.—Press. Public spirit is on ths flood-tide among our men o! wealth, and wo hope it may conlluoo to rito without coming to nn obh. Among tho latest manifestations Is that by John I. Blair, of Now Jersey, a millionaire, who has engaged to build, at his own expense, a railroad from Blatrstown, the place of his residence, to Delaware Station, on the Delaware River, at the crossing of tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. Tho road will bo about eighteen nilloa long, and will pota through a rich farming district. It will give the farmers direct communication with Now York and tho WoaL Tho property owners along tho line have donated the right of way, and Mr. Rlalr will build rood at a cost of $330,1100. and present It to tho people of Illulrstown.
