National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-10-13

THE record of ex- Governor Walker, Con-
sentative candidate for Congress in the
Richmond CVa.) district, regarding the
James River and Kanawha canal, extends
as far back as December, 1872, when, in
message to the General Assembly of the
State, he declared that he had never en-
"tertained the slightest faith in the move
"ment. The assumption of an undertake
ling or enterprise like this is not in con-
"sonance either with the principles or
practice Of the Federal Government. "
g 1t might lend its credit upon safe and
satisfactory conditions; but beyond this 1
"am satisfied that it will not, and really
Fought not to 60" His idea then was
"trat the canal should be completed by
"pIiYate capital and ability" Mr. Bur
CESS, the Republican nominee against
Walker, is the declared advocate and sup
porter of the canal scheme, and always has
been. Walker has lately changed his base
somewhat; but the people have not forgot
ten his past record. Under any circum-
stances he would, in the event of his cleo
ton, be in the minority in the House, and,
consequently unable to serve his constit-
uents as efficiently as his Republican an
tagOnist

THE ELECTIONS TO-DAY.


The people of Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and
Nebraska hold elections to-day, the signii-
canoe of the results of which is conceded by
politicians Of every creed. 1t must be adj
mitted that the Republican strength in those
States is liable to decrease from past elections
fer several different causes, main among
which is the fact that while the people
have lost none of their love for the princi-
pies OF the party, they have, under the per-
sistent and wearing influence of the 0pposi-
ton press, been led to believe that the days of
Republican usefulness have passed. They
do not appreciate so thoroughly now as
they will, in the event Of 2 Democratic
victory to day, the fact that the moral force
of Republican success is sufficient to re-
strain the malcontents of the South from
acts Of violence, while Republican defeat
would be accepted as a reputation OF
the recent action of the President in sup
pressing the new rebellion in that sec
ton, and as a justification for the renewal
of that rebellion. We know that
these are strong words, and we speak them
plainly and strongly, with full apprecia-
ton of the responsibility resting upon us
ASar their use. We believe that all Of the
- of the war; or rather the results of
contest, for which the blood and
Re Of the nation was poured out with
extravaganza, are as much at stake
Y as they were when the clash Of arms
md the heroic struggles of our citizen
,soldiery served to rouse the enthusiasm of
the party and gain victories for Republi-
canism both on the battlefield and at the
baIlot.box. But we repeat that the peo-
ME have fallen into lethargy, and have

we condemn them for not perceiving be-
yond their sphere2 Shall they be held re-
sponsible for the advanced views of re-
ligious duty that inspire those who have
made that life-study? Our position then
is that the consumers of spirituous bev-
erages have it in their power to stop their
manufacture and sale at once by placing the
veto upon consumption. Ifthey will not do
this, the temperance people will scarcely
be able to suppress them by change of
the responsibility for the demand to the
shoulders of those who furnish the sup
plies. This journal has ever been the
avowed friend of temperance and good
morals and will ever so continue. In that
capacity it does not wish to see the Union
fritter away its usefulness by fighting the
imaginary instead of the real enemy.

been deceived by insidious enemies into
belief in the existence of calm repose, The
shock which flashed across the wires from
New Orleans on the 18th Of last month,
announcing that rebellious mob had over
turned the legitimate government of a SOW
ereign State, aroused them from that
lethargy to some extent; but not, we
are afraid, to a full appreciation
of the true condition of affairs.
In their peaceful and quiet homes, remote
from the sad scenes of strife, prescription,
intimidation and bloodshed, which now
furnish the daily burden of Southern news
budgets, the people Of the North are prone
to disregard the admonitions of the hour
now as they were in 1861, and have allowed
themselves to be lulled into repose by the
deceitful tales of men who at that time
were holder and more outspoken't than now,
because experience has since then taught
them lessons of which they have not been
slow to profit, but whose designs are none
the less treacherous and reasonable. They
may not intend to destroy the Union, to
establish separate form of government, or
to fight under a strange flag; but they do
intend to secure for themselves all the
privileges in the Union they expected to
realize under the Confederacy. To do this
they will labor for the practical re-estab-
lishment of condition of seryitude for their
former slaves; to set at naught the War
Amendments to the Constitution; to drive
political opponents from the homes of their
adoption; to make their section of our COM
mon country as distinctly different from
the North and the great West as possible;
and in the end to foist upon the whole peo
pie the expense of paying foT their slaves
and defraying the losses incurred by them
as the result of their reasonable war.
Every vote cast for Democratic candidate
to-day will be cast in aid of the great con-
spiracy which now exists for the realiza-
ton of all these hopes. From Indiana,
where the Southern rebels always received
more or less sympathy, we may expect to
hear of Democratic successes, while in
Ohio there is a possibility, if not prOba
bllity, Of Republican gains. In Iowa and
Nebraska, where the Granger influence
has played sad havoc with party discipline,
1t is not probable that we shall lose more
than we shall gain; but in all of these
States the people need to be aroused now
in preparation for the national contest two
years hence, to stern realization of the
difference between the two parties, and
made to understand that Democratic sue
cess in the North means mob rule and re-
bellion in the South, while Republican vic
tory means peace and quiet, and the strong
guarantee of the power of the General Gov
eminent to each and every citizen of the
country in the exercise of constitutional
rights.

A Boston dispatch to the Chicago Tri-
6une comedies the nomination of General
Butler in the Essex district, and acknowl-
edges the futility of the tremendous news
paper opposition to him, about which we
heard so much few weeks ago. 1t says:
''The caucuses at Salem tonight take
'faway the LAST shadow Of doubt of the re-
nomination of General Butler, in which
''the most gallant effort was made; and,
although Butler was opposed by General

THErepOrt recently printed in the columns
of the Capital of an alleged. conversation
with Assistant Secretary Cowan, of the In
terror Department, in which that gentleman
is said to have denounced General Baker,
Commissioner of Pensions, in most un-
measured terms, bears upon its face the
marks of absurdity and falsehOOd. Mr..
Cowans attention having been called to it.
he has authorized the statement to be made
that it is false in every particular.

THE New York Tribune evidently finds
it difficult task to avoid complication in
the pending campaign in that State. 1t
tries to serve the Democracy without fly
ing Democratic colors; but does not dare
to exalt Tilden over Dix, and pretends to
have a supreme contempt for both party
organizations. The result is that its in
fiuenceC0 is neither asked nor respected,
and what little standing it has had under
its present management as political jour
nal is rapidly waning.

SOME of the Democratic newspapers are
poking fun at the attempt Of the defeated
candidate for President in Buenos Ayres to
overthrow the Constitutional Government.
They forget that Mr.. Penn, one of their
own kidney, did the same thing in New
Orleans last month.

A GENTLEMAN of this city, lately re-
turned from South America, informs US
that preparations are being made by hun
dreds and thousands of citizens of Brazil
and adjoining countries TO visit the United
States during the Centennial celebration.
His attention was particularly called to this
fact by repeated inquiries regarding the
distance and route from Philadelphia to
Washington. From this it appears that
our citizens will have a direct interest in
the Centennial, which should now serve to
induce them to give it helping hand.

A New Dish.

Up to the time when those superb pala-
ces, the Southern Michigan and Northern
Indiana, were afoat on Lake Erie, no man
was better known or more highly esteemed
by the tens of thousands of travellers who
wentup and down upon its waters than
Captain A. d. Perkins. In every port,
from Chicago to Buffalo, his broad, sunny
face was we'll known and always welcome.
He loved joke, and used to tell this on
himself:
His nautical career as commander was
commenced in q schooner. During one of
his trips he had been so long baffled by ad-
verse winds that the provision chest had
got quite too low for comfort A few
chickens were still left in coop on deck
These he told the cook to prepare for din
ner; but soon after, meeting fishing
smack, purchased some fish, merely saying
to the cook
"Sam, we have got fish now, so you may
postpone the chickens"
At dinner a strange-looking mess was
placed before the captain, who said
"Sam, what is this?"
"To which Sam replied:
"Oh, denis de postponed chickens, mass
