THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.

Causes OF the Alienation OF Former
supporters OF tho Admin nistra tfon-AH
Federal Patronage Given to Carpet-
Baggers-Congressman Smith ON the
Defeat In Virginia.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. 1874.
John Amber Smith, the republican member OF
Congress from the Third (virginia) district was in
the city to-day. MIR. Smith during the last session
voted generally with his party, but on some ques
tons, such as the Civil Rights bil voted with the
democrats. Upon being asked the causes Of the
defeat OF the administration party in Virginia and
the South, he frankly declared that many Union
men who were strong supporters OF Gen.
eral Grant were very much dissatisfied
with many acts OF the admins tratlon.
The action OF Attorney General Williams
in the Louisiana matter had drawn or hundreds OF
votes In every state in the South The Civir Rights
bill had driven on as many more, and the seeming
determination OF olce holders to rule or ruin the
country had capped the climax.
The result in his own State, he believed was due
more to the practical prescription OF all substan-
tial citizens, native and adopted in districts that
had been republican. lie stated as
fact that in Stowels Fourth) district,
in which there were more old, uncom.
promising Union men than in any other por-
tion OF the South, there was not single man
in paying federal office who was in Virginia be.
fore the war. The same thing was true or Platt's
district, the Second. The consequence was that
scarcely white man voted the republican ticket,
and very many colored men, who are fast becoming
disgusted with carpet-baggers, voted openly the
democratic ticket. General Grant is personally
popular in Virginia, and If he would himself look
into the situation OF the people, believe he would
do the old citizens justice. Unless great changes
are made in the treatment OF Southern men, and
that soon, there will not be republican in Con.
