POLITICAL NOTES

The Baton Rouge Is.) convention mas adOIvd
the name of the peoples party"
Colonel Basil Duke, the noted Western guerilla
second in command to John Morgan during the
war, intends to run for Congress from Kentucky
Congressman wsldron, Willard, BegOIs and
Bradley have been renominated by the Republi
cans Of Michigan, without opposition, making
With Representative Field, of the Detroit dis
trIct i've Of the present delegation who are up fol
reelection.
The whole truth Of the matter Is, says the Chi
cago Times, that the sO-ealled Democratic party
always was split from end to end, not only on
questions of finance, but on every nther political
Question that ever arose. 1t never was anything
but an organized contradiction, facing both ways
on every question, and being AL things to all
men,"
Arizona does not elect delegate to Congress
until November, but there are already io1r Inde-
pendent candidates in the field, and number o.
others are ready to Offer themselves shouid tn
season prove favorable. A Democratic oonven
ton recently recommended one Of the candidates
John A. Rush, to the party, but Rush prefers u
run Independently Of all parties
The Utica New York; Herald says: Every da!
mskes It more and more uncertain what the rea
princIples Of modern Democracy are. They ar
ons thing In one section Of the country, and another
thius everywhere else. Against this divided De
mocracy, which Is bandying epIthsts and feeling
for each others throat, the Republicans present
united mont, with sound principles to inspire then
and good candidates to lead them.
In recent interview g sneral Toombs said: "a
very encouraging phase Of Georgia politics is th'
disposition Of the people to return to their frs
love- that Is to their representative men. Georgia
always did despise msdiocrity, aud she is sick and
tired Of sending men Of clay to Washington. Thi'
was illustrated BY Stephens election to Congress!
last year, and, l hope, will be again illustrated
this year BY Ben HIS election in the Athens dis
triet Hill, think, will be chosen, not so much
from personal popularity as because the people
admire his brains and want to be represented al

these certificates in buying the votes OF
delegates to the convention, &c. After his
Inauguration as Governor, as we have rea-
son to believe, and after the expiration Of
the term of office of the Legislature, Of
which he was a member, he continued
their ISSUE As q matter Of course, the
value of the certificates deprecated proper
tionately with the readiness with which
they were issued, and as the treasury Ct
the State was empty, they finally reached q
very low rate. At this juncture few en-
terprising inn-keepers and printers who
held number of them petitioned to the
Legislature for the passage Of acts provid-
ing for their "relief With the aid OF
Moses bills were passed and became laws
in response to these petitions. This opened
the door for further rascality, and en-
allied him. under the latitude or dis
erection vested in the Office of Governor,
to demand of the State treasurer the
immediate issue of certificates of indebted
ness TO an amount which would have sna-
bIed him to raise q new corruption fund.
But the true friends of the State, and the
faithful members of the Republican party,
who are intent on reform, have taken most
efficient steps to block this little game. The
State treasurer, Mr. Csrdoza, an intelligent
colored man, refused to comply with the
Governors demands. A writ of mandamus
followed. granted by the Supreme Court of
the State, of which Moses father is chief
Justice; but the case was appealed by At
torney General Melton to the Supreme
Court of the United States. A few days
ago Justice Miller affirmed and completed
the appeal. Consequently, final solu-
ton of the question will be delayed for sew
eral years. The result of this extraordinary
move will be to prevent Moses and his
friends from using the moneys of the State
for political purposes during the coming
campaign, and as they are without resources
of their own, and without credit upon
which to borrow money, it is evident that
they will be compelled to abandon their ef-
forts to re-establlsh themselves in power.
We require no better evidence than is gwen
in this instance Of the effectual Gripping OF
the chief of the South Carolina robbsr gang
to sustain our assertion that substantial re-
form in the political affairs of that State has
been commenced.

SUBSTANTIAL REFORMLNSO UTH
CAROLINA.

We claim the credit for THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN Of having begun the war in
side the ranks Of the Republican party
against the miscreants and robbers who
have In the name of that organization pill
LACED and plundered the State of South
Carolina. When the reform movement was
attempted in 1872, in which the late Gov.
Orr took leading part we did not hesitate
70 declare our belief that its defeat would
prove to be deplorable disaster, not only
TO the State but to the party at large. We
had no confidence In Moses, and have de-
nounced him from the day of his election
up to the present time as prohigate and
unprincipled man, whose crimes and mis-
demeanors would render him subject to
punishment in the penitentiary. His
promises Of good behavior and his pledges
Of honesty were tainted with the foul odors
of past record, which stsnds unequaled
IN this country for Its unblushing frauds.
rs Speaker Of the lower house Of the
Legislature, he Issued more than 81, 500,
900 Of pay certificates TO members Of
that body, topolitlcians Of every stripe, and
70 trades-people as well as hotel-keepers
and restaurateurs. In fact, his nomination
TO be the candidate Of the party for Cover
nor, and his Consequent election to that
Office. was secured hz the cnrTHna,us Of

COMPLAINTS reach us from various parts
Of the country of the irregular receipt Of
TIE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN through the
mails. The latest comes from Jamestn~n'
NY, where only nine cnPiSS nave oeen re-
csiyed during the present month out oftWen-
~ nailed. Our correspondent says he has
thoroughly Investigated the matter at that
Office and has learned that the difficulty Is
not tbes-, ut uust be somewhere on the
me this side Of that point. He has arrived
at the conclusion that route agents are more
careless Of newspapers than of letters. He
further says that his is not an isolated case,
but that other people at other places fail to
get their city papers. We trust that this
matter will be looked into by the proper
authorities and the proper remedy applied.
This journal is regularly delivered at the
Post Office, addressed to our subscribers,
and we know that it is the design and pur-
pose Of the Department that all mail matter
shall reach its destination.

A CARD FROM SENATOR PEAsE


TrTa nasIiny PaIl -Nad Gs,r,ranr hos stnnrod
work in one hundred and thirty-six out of
Is one hundred and forty coal mines. Thus,
says en- exchange, an artificial scarcity is to be
produced, the public are to be forced TO pay a
high and unnatural price to the owners Of tie
mines, and the men who mine the coal are to
be forced Into an unnatural and injurious idle
ness. The benefit accrues only to the few who,
by thus controlling the bounties Of Providence,
levy tribute on the producers and consumers
alike. But the crafty assurance that the STOP
page of work in the mines AMI the consequent
dlminution of the supply of coal will not
increase the prize, is sent throughout
the land by press and telegraph with the
news of the stoppage itself. The only object
OF the monopolists is to affect the price of COAL
1t may not be raised more than gradually, as
the programme Of the monopollsts has an
nouuced, but-the price that will thus be OBJ
tanned is unnatural and higher than It ought
to be. By-And-by, at brief intervals probably,
not merely from mouth to Doath, but as be-
fore in permanently higher pr!ccs for the whole
year, smother step win be taken, end another
link In the chain that binds the people will be
forged. 1t is cur duty to point oEt the facts as
they occur. Practically the lesson TO he learned
for the present from these proceedings is simply
that the rates OF coal are tolefsbly sure to in
crease from month to mouth, anil that it is
be st for every m-u who has not already laid in
his supply Of coal for the winter to do 50 with
OFT delay.

WHo rs the "reteran politician" whom the
New York H>rd,d brings to the front as hav-
inc, at the request Of President Grant, looked
over ''the opinions of Washington and his CO.
temporaries upon this third-term question p
According to the Herald correspondent at Long
Branch, this "veteran politician, who has the
political history Of the country at his fingers
ends" "cheerfully assumed the pleasant
task assigned him, and after the lapse Of forty
eight hours, having completed bis report, went
over to the Presidents cottage, and there read
# to General Grant, much to his ediheatiou
AMI satisfaction" In order to explain the
"edihcation and satisfaction" which the read
ing Of the V. P.'s paper gave the President, the
correspondent informs US that "the argument
of the paper was strongly in favor of third
term 70 General Grant, from the opinions of
Washington and bis contemporaries upon the
subject"
