National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1873-05-17

\ serious drawback to the permanent SUE
cess Of the Republican party In Virginia has
been the lack Of organization IN tho Blue
Ridge region. In Rappahannock, Rockbridgo
and other mountain counties, where numbers
Of Old Line Wings and other natural op-
ponens Of the Democracy or sham Conscr-
vativcs vote, much strength has been wasted
for this reason. In the lower counties and in
the tidc-watcr region the party has been
thoroughly and cfTcctually organized rs
demonstrated by the result In last falls cam
paign, when VIC carried the State for Grant
There were certain influences then at work
which may not prevail in the pending con-
test With these facts before Us we do not
hesitate TO advise our friends to pay more at
tention 10 the mountain counties than they
have In the past. Perhaps 1t might be well
for them to place some acknowledged leader
from that section on the tlcket-such a man,
for instance, as Geo. L. Dc Neal, who has
been 30 long a member Of the Legislature,
and so prominently before the re ople In a
representative capacity as a member Of
the House Of Delegates, that his character
Is well known throughout the length and
breadth Of the State. His quarter Of O
century OF public service, beginning almost
In boyhood and continuing until the years Of
maturity, has been severe test Of his quail
ties as q statesman, and he has Issued from
the ordeal with clean aud spOtlcss skirts,
His deserved popularity is uuqucstioued, and
Is proven by the fact that lie was chosen al
the last election as an independent candidate
over the regular Conservative nominee. But
whether he is nominated or not, We insist
that more thorough canvass shall be made
In the coming election than has heretofore
been attempted, and that 1t shall extend to
include the entire Blue Ridge region. There
are Republican leaders In the State who ought
to be able to organize the party in every
county and township as completely as Speaker
Blaine has organized the party in Maine, and
that Is so complete that he Is ready at any
time within three or four days before an
election to prophesy the result with such mi
raculous accuracy as to fairly predict the
official maiOrities

In the country districts tAsE can show no
school-houses, except At rard distances, and
built Of rough-hewn logs, windowless, and
too small to accommodate one-half the chill
dren for whose benefit they arc Intended.
Both In city and country they are compelled
10 admit that the schools arc closed on the
average, six months In the year. Further, II
they tell the truth, they will also admit that
the business or profession Of school-teaching,
except In the university and colleges, and
particularly II the pupils are colorcd, Is re-
garded as akin to dsgraceful by people who
have been bred to regard FREQ school as an
Abolition hot-bed. The law Is compulsory
that each county shall be provided with free
school privileges before 1870 How far and
how reluctantly has II been eXocuted1 All
this is the result Of Conservative rule, and
yet tho members Of that party complain that
the poorer classes, including all Of the col.
ored citizens, who suffer for the advantage.
Of education, arc arrayod against them.

A BosroS rAPER discusses the question,
"What is RestT" II does not attach much i'm
portance to summer vacations TO repair the ex-
haustion OF life such as most Of us lead, and
adds: 1--WE do not want our rest In summer any
more than at other seasons Of the year. What
would be thought OF man who would try to 80
without eating during the winter aud then hope
TO make up by feasting three weeks In June7 1t
is the food and rest, temperately used Us we go
along, which promotes life and happiness. 1t Is
the power Of self-control that we lack as Amer-
cans. Lead us not into temptation, is the irst
prayer We lisp In childhood, and In manhood we
might add, deliver us from eyil,' which comes to
Us when we thirst for wealth, when we sacrifice
Health, when we seek TO CLEAN in a month har.
vest that ought to suflice for lifetime"

A CoURT-MARTIAL convened in Santa Fe in August, 1872, result ed in the dismissal and cashiering of Captain Alfred Hedberg, First Lieutenant Julian R. Fitch and Sec ond Lieutenant Edmund T. Ryan, all of the Fifteenth Infantry. We also learn that the derellct court which was reconvened to try Lieutenant- Colonel Tompkins, former chief quar- termaster of this department, so lar found him guilty as to cause hls sus- pension for one year and the loss ot all his pay and allowances for that perlod' but S75 per month.
 It would seem from these and some other like cases of recent date, that officers of the army are beginning to realize and act upon the realization, that if they would keep themselves above common contempt, they must not rally to the support of a de- bauchee, or a drunken loafer, or a scoundrel, just because such disreput- able man is an officer of the army. It is with sincere pleasure we observe all evidences of self-respect and pur- gation in the army; and in calling conspicuous attention to them, we are giving better proofs of a genuine regard for the welfare of that branch of the public service, than the average courts do.

PRIVATE advices from Yuma state that William Pickens, who shot and killed Captain A. Hahn November 3, 1878, and was indicted therefor by the last grand jury of Yuma county, es- capped jail on the 18th and got away entirely. It is probably just as we'll that murderers get away. early as late, as it seems to be only questions of time and manner about their escape from the laws penalty.
 Since the above was put in type, we learn that Pickens was confined in Fort Yuma and escaped from it and not the jail.

GOVERNOR STAFFORD and J. w.. Hopkins returned on Thursday from an inspection of the Pueblo Viejo set tlement located, as heretofore stated, some distance above old Camp Good win along the Gila river. The Mon tezuma Canal Company has secured large water claim and have some twenty men digging the canal which will be so far completed as to supply many thousands of acres with water in season to mature crops this year. Good land, water and timber are con- venient and abundant as also are fish and wild game both fowl and animal. The climate is healthy.
 Next week we'll give an outline ot ruins of old towns and cities recently discovered in that vicinity, and also ot relics found which go to establish the fact of the sudden massacre of the people who inha bited them and cultl- vated the surrounding country.

THE good work of making peace goes bravely on as we learn by The Prescott Miner of last Saturday. Lieutenant Frank Michler, company K, Fifth Cavalry, en route from Verde to Mt. Graham surprised a rancheria of Tontos on the 23d of January, on Tonto Creek, and killed IT warriors, captured their camp, arms, and all they had. Private George Hooker was killed in the charge.
 First Sergeant Day, of Captain Prices command, Company B, Fifth Cavalry, while out on a side scout, surprised a rancheria and killed five warriors. Lieutenant Woodson's con- mand was fired into during the night, and one horse killed.
 Other scouts were engaged and out, but we have no space to-day for more particulars.
