New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-07-23

n
The tasks il was called to perform were Of
unusual importance. The civil war was over.
Its logical results, the abolition Of slavery
and the organization of free labor society
in the South were just being reduced to
political form, and imbedded in the consti-
tuition of this republic. The first great OBJECT
Of our policy should have been TO renatOn-
alize the South, revive among SOutherners
feeling calculated to attach their hearts
to the fortunes of this Union; for let us not
indulge in the delusiOn that the holding
together by force of its component parts
is basis upon which republic can safely
rest or long endure. 1t requires a band
which binds together the hearts Of the peO-
pie, and not their bodies only, to create
that bond which was for us the highest
object of craftsmanship. He then referred
in detail to the different acts of the admins
tration party, gong over the ground ira
versed by himself and others in the Senate.
In regard to the San Domingo matter, he
made the following statement: When the
San Domingo scheme was pending, two
gentlemen in intimate relations with the
White House came to me; each were
separately soliciting my support OF the
project. They assured me if l would give
that support or abstain from opposition,
all the patronage / desired would be at
nay disposal, making me, 10 that respect,
one Of the most influential men in the land
One of these gentlemen subsequently, adj
mitted to me- In writing, that the offer was
made to me with the consent of the Presi-
dent himself. He said he had withheld this
statement long time in spite OF the many
prOvocatiOns, and made it now only be-
cause, az papers have recently stated, the
President himself put forth the assertion,
in a published interview, that he lSchurz)
has opposed him because he had not re-
Ceived as much patronage as he wanted.
He then dwelt upon abuses, patronage,
and the evils Of the civil service, stating
that there never was time when the latter
was more like thoroughly drilled and dis
ciplined organization of political agents, or
when the public interest was more shame
lessly Overruled by political exigenCy. Re-
ferring to President Grant, be said:
should prefer not to speak Of him, did he
not stand as the embodiment and persOniti-
cation of the perniciOus system which
derives from his individuality its pecu-
liar character. Gratitude for his mill
tary services and respect for his office
have long restrained many from expressing
their real opinions concerning him. / shall
be the last man to forget or to carp at the
great services he has rendered in the
field of war. The hOnOrs he has won, the
laurels he has gathered, shall not be touch
ed. Now he is a civil officer, and he asks
us to continue him at the head of the civil
government. With this question his laurels
have nothing to do. When he assembled
the presidential chair it may be said
the whole people surrounded him with
cordial offers of their confidence and
willing aid in all he might do to give the
country a good government. There was
not statesman in the republic who would
not have been ready, aye, proud to serve
him at his CALL
The Senator continued at great length
discussing these topics, and alluded YigO-
rously to the need of a perfect recOncilia-

storatiOn of local sefgOvernment at the
South, and the development of the highest
and nOblest aspirations of many OF the
Northern people.
WLLAMsPoRT, Pa, July 22.-The strike
of mill wOTkmen in this city has assumed
a serious phase. The strikers assembled
about ten o'clock this morning and moved
to the upper Mill yards. At the mill of
Hilbert g. Otto the policemen were drawn
up in line, when the crowd assailed them
with brickbats, charged through and went
into the mill. From there they went into
all the mills, the men at work fleeing
through the lumber piles for life.
Several fights occurred and many were
wounded. One boy was struck with a
handspike by the foreman of the mill and
seriously wounded The chief of police
came near having his arm broken by a
club. A special policeman was seriously
wounded, being struck in the head with an
iron bar. Policeman FOresman was hit in I
the face with q brick and badly wounded.
Policeman Stryker was struck by two
clubs thrown at him, and Officer Piatt had
his clothes badly torn.
The strikers then moved to the mills be-
low the city, closing those at work. The
military have been called out, and are now
parading the streets. The greatest excite
ment prevails.
The strikers meet tomorrow morning at
half-past nine o'clock Some shooting Oc-
