National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-10-03

Why cannot Gen. Eppa Hunton, of the
Eighth CVa.) Congress district, be half
decent or half honest in his political course?
Last Monday, at a meeting at Fairfax Court
House, he made bitter assault upon Gen.
Grant and the Administration, and next
day came to this city to solicit appoint
ments for his friends in the Departments.
OF course he failed. As long as the South
persists in sending useless and inefficient
men like Hunton to Congress it need not
expect to be in any other position than
what it is. They are powerless to help
their section, powerless of their double
dealing and treachery. Mr.. HuntOn is one
of class of men whom the South for her
own good should throw overheard as soon
as possible
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-10-03

In VIRGINIA, where the people boast of
extraordinary intelligence, and of an in
tense desire to maintain conciliatory rela-
tons with citizens of other sections Of our
common country, it might be expected that
the fanatical and brutal ISLANDERS of the war
and the excited political campaign which
preceded it would receive no recognition.
But it seems the contrary is the case, The
Fredericksburg Ns1os, the organ of Mr..
Beverly Douglass, Conservative candidate
for Congress, is sustained by these people
even when it utters such unutterably foolish
stuff as the following:
"Iincoln was a nigger,' said Northern
man this summer. 'How do you prove it p
was asked. Because they could not embalm
him. was the reply. You can embalm a white
man. continued the Northerner, but you can't
embalm Niger; his blood don't permit it,
1t is said that Lamon, u in his Life Of Lin
coln,' omitted to mention that Lincoln's
mother, Susan Hanks, before she married Lin
coins reputed father, lived with negro who
was a steamboat hand, and who was Lincoln's
real father. So our Northern friends, If the
above be correct, have had rather more Of the
'colored element than they supposed. Exit
the 'sainted Lincoln"
So far as the writer of the foregoing is
concerned, we can afford to let the matter
drop; but we insist that if Mr.. Douglass
should unfortunately be elected to Con-
gress, owing his success to influences which
are sustained by this kind of argument, Z"
he will find it difficult to obtain hearing
when he desires to advance the especial
claims of his constituency.

PLOMACY
The uninspired man is able to understand
how the extraordinary changes that have
been wrought in the physical condition of
Washington within the last four years have
opened a future for the Federal capital of
the nation before which the imagination
halts in contemplating. The result of this
graceful metamOrphOsis is already seen in
the multiplication of costly edifces, the in
CTeasing evidences Of accommodating wealth
and the iOcking Of people of refinement
from every section of this vast continent to
the beautifed metropolis. 1t is not only the
wealthy and best educated classes of the
American people that resort TO Washington
as the healthiest and most eligible place of
residence, but the Governments of Europe,
freed, no doubt, from all apprehension in
regard to the fantastic schemes of capital
movers, are seriously debating the expe-
diency of building luxurious residences for
their respective ambassadors, and Great
Britain, always eminently practical, has
developed the idea by the erection of a pal
ace for the accommodation of her repre-
sentative and his official family.
In times past, owing to the struggling
and ungainly appearance of our city, the
souafid looks of the majority of the build
ings marring the beauty of the few elegant
structures, which some capitalists had
erected in their midst, and the paucity of
social attractions, mission to Washington
was regarded by foreign diplomats as a
species of exile to penal colony; hence it
Is that the intellectual calibre of the persons
selected to represent the sovereignty Of

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE FL
NANCES.

NANCES.
The position of the Democratic party
upon the fnances-the most important SUBJ
ject before the country-in which every
man in business, every man who earns a
dollar as a day laborer, every mechanic,
every man who draws a salary, is alike in
terested, is contradictory, unsatisfactory and
absurd. In New Jersey, for instance, that
party fsvors 'the restoration of gold and
"silver as the only true basis of the cur
"rency of the country" In Michigan the
Democrats "demandthe repeal of the legal
tender act, to take effect no later than
July, 1876, a specie basis and free banks,
land a secured currency" In Ohio they
are clamoring for ''such an increase in the
circulating medium (greenbacks) as the
business interests of the country may
"from time to time require" In Cincin-
natl they demand 'tan immediate increase
"of greenback currency" In Maine the
party wants ''an immediate resumption of
metallic currency" Dan. Voorhees,, of
Indiana, declares the ''greenback currency
the best the world ever saw"
Suppose these gentlemen were to obtain
power tomorrow, that the representatives
they have nominated upon the above inan-
cial platform had taken their seats in the
Capitol and were called upon to legislate on
a financial bill, what a happy family it
would be! No two of them could possibly
agree upon Anything. They would by their
wrangles and disputes put the whole coun-
try on the tender-hOoks Of anxiety, disturb
all commercial relations, and create so much
financial uncertainty that no man of the
least prudence would dare to make the
slightest commercial venture. The me-
chanic who went to bed at night with q
hundred dollars would wake in the morning
to find that it was worth only fifty. The
Teal-estate owner who bought a piece of
property this week would find the next
week that it was worth only one half of
what he had paid for it. The Republican
party has done some unwise things upon
the finances, but as a general thing it has
been consistent, and all classes of the COM
munity, as a rule, know where to find and
TO place it. There is some stability to it;
there is not the slightest prospect that there
would be any stability whatever if the
Democracy were in power. With them we
should have chaos, an era of the widest
neutrality-suspicious. to-day, hard
money tomorrow; an unlimited supply of
greenbacks this week, severe contraction
the next. When the Democracy can agree
upon financial policy-the question of all
questions in which the country is inter
ested at the present time-the nation will
perhaps agree to place it in power. To do
so now would be to inflict the severest blow
that has been inflicted upon the Republic
in commercial way since 1861.

THE Richmond Enquirer says: "The policy
of intercourse with the North by the South
persisted in for a few years might possibly
bring that section to its senses. We may
trade direct with Europe if we will; or we can
manufacture everything we want at home, and
need not spend a dollar north of the Potomac"
The South attempted that policy with good
degree of persistency for about four years with
the most Indifferent success. She claims that
she lost some four or five thousand millions by
the operation. Under a pretence for desire
for peace, she has since been clamoring for
capital and immigration from the North, re-
ceiving which she proceeds to absorb the capital
and murderits representatives Gas in Coushatts)
because they happen to differ from white
Southerners in political opinions. Now, be-
cause the President has notified them that this
murder by detail must stop, the boyish cry
Of ''won't play" (non-intereourse) is raised.
Some people believe cooperation is more con-
duciye to success than non-intercourse. This
idea prevails generally in communities Of an
advanced state of civilization. China and
Japan, who have been welded to the practice
of non-intercourse for centuries, seem to be
coming over to the theory of commercial inter
course, and their conversion is applauded
throughout all Christendom as an advance
which will result to the mutual benefit Of the
nations of the earth. But in the Southern
view this is all a mistake. Let the South
build Chinese wall. Even let her ''bottle
up" if she will only cease to efferVesce. 1t will
be rather hard on the North which owes her
so much, but still she may be able to survive
the experiment. She has been dependent upon
the South so long for political wisdom and
practical sense, for brains and applied indus
try, that it will at first be little rough to
have to rely upon her own resources. Still she
may soon acquire a spirit Of independence and
be able to ego it alone" And if she should
succeed, only think what an advantage it will
be to the poor dependent North to feel that she
is no longer indebted to the genial, hospitable,
generous South for her means of living and
the right to enjoy them.

THE RICHMOND Wing is delighted with
the position of the New York Times upon
the Southern question. 1t quotes, with
appreciation, an extract from that paper of
a recent date as follows: 1.-THE time has
come when both parties ought to agree
"to treat the Southern question not from
ga point of view of a Republican, or a
Democrat, but from that of an American
"anxiOus to guard against disaster to his.
Country. Patriotism should for once drive
"out partisanism. 1t is very evident that
the present editor of the Times is not IA
miliar with the history of Reconstruction
and with the events that took place imme-
diately after the close of the war. For the
last ten years the Republican party has
been acting towards the South not from the
partisan but the patriotic point of view
Every act of Congress and every Executive
order shows this TO be the case. Thaddeus
Stevens was in favor of treating the South
in that way, but the party declined to fol-
low him. If it had the condition of affairs
would in all probability be better today
than it is.

THE ex-organ of the defunct Liberal Re-

not satisfied with the present leaders and

1t wants to drive out large number of gen.

editor as Lincoln incurred it in 1864. Per-
haps the present leaders are not all that
they ought to be, but they never attempted
to bctray the party and hand it over to its
enemies as the Tribune did in 1872; they
have never been so bad, corrupt and unpa-
triotic as to conspire to place the Demo
cratic party in power as the Tribune has
done; and they are angels OF light and
grace when compared with the Fentons,
the Ashleys, the McClures, the Cochranes
