National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-07-31

WE HAVE RECEIVED long report OF q
meeting held by the Republicans Of Eau
quier county, Virginia, at FOxville, which
we would gladly print if the crowded con-
dition of our columns would permit. 1t is
sufficient, however, to state that strong
feeling was developed in favor of the regu-
lar nomination of candidate for Congress,
and in opposition to the proposition that the
party shall support Col Mosby as an indie
pendent candidate. This is right. If Mos
by will pledge himself to Republican prin-
-clples as they find practical demonstration
in his own State as plainly as he does to the
same principles as applied to national poll
tics, his ambitious determination to become
a great leader will be entitled to cons!dera.
ton, but until he does this there is no rea-
son why Virginia Republicans should show
him any favor whatever. His election would
not serve to strengthen the party in Con
gress, because, if he is honest in the expires
sion Of his opinions regarding the cOloret
race, he would not 60 into caucus with the
colorcd members of the House, and while h
might vote with the party as a general rule
he would be more apt to bolt from its dis

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-07-31

A FRIEND writes to correct an error into
which we were inadvertently led by a
Southern cotemporary, and by which great
injustice was done to the war record OF ex-
Senator Fitch, of Indiana. 1t was Bright,
of the same State-who was expelled from
the Senate-that was in the mind when we
wrote Fitch. The latter raised brigade
and fought bravely, capturing Memphis.
He was soon afterwards seriously injured
by the fall Of his horse, which was killed
under him, and resigned, although Mr.. Lin
coin offered him promotion in the service II
he would remain.
While we hasten to accord this NEED o.
Justice to the soldier, we have nothing to
retract concerning the ex-Senstor's present
political status. AS the author of the recent
reputation platform of the Democratic
party of the State, he now merits and in
Yites the condemnation of all honorable
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-07-31

A RESIDENT in this city, by no means
friendly to the present Administration, has
Just returned from a trip in the South. He
says the loss of trade and business in sew
eral of the leading cities, which it is the
fashion to attribute to the negroes and the
carpet baggers, is due entirely to other
causes, which might be seen at a glance If
people would only open their eyes, instead
of, in their blind, unreasoning prejudice, at
tributing every calamity to the Republican
party Take, for instance, New Orleans.
The decadence Of her commerce is, he says,
to be attributed to the changed channels Of
trade. A large portion of the cotton which
formerly found its market is now shipped
from Charleston, Savannah, &c, or is sent
by rail from St. Louis TO New York. New
