National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-12-30

Eeen found wanting-none know this bet
ter than the people of Wisconsin.
His labors in that State during the late
canvass give unquivocal proof of his tran
scendent power with the people. bis dis
tinguished colleague in the Senate, Judge
Howe, has recently written q letter ascrib-
ing to him the chief agency in securing the
result of the election in their State. Dur
ing the contest he spoke in different towns
forty-four times, and wherever he went the
political effect was as visible as that which
the farmer sees between those rows of
corn where cultivation has done its work,
and those where it has not. In this con-
nection it must be remembered that the
Republicans of Wisconsin entered the field
with strong odds against them. The year
before under another leadership they had
been beaten throughout the State by an
average majority of fifteen thousand, and
the Opposition had the Legislature on joint
ballot by majority of twenty Un-
der this mans leadership during the last
canvass the result was reversed by hand
some majority of the popular vote, and by
giving to the Republicans the present
Legislature by majority on joint ballot of
thirty-one.
The whole policy of the Republican
party will there be most violently assailed.
Questions of vital importance will arise.
The Republican Senate will be the only
breakwater to the food-tide OF evils then
to be let loose upon the land. In that Sen
ate should be found the most able and ex-
perienced men that Republicans can select
men VINO from their thorough acquaint-
ance with the history of legislation and the
progress of events, from their parliamentary
proficiency and tested wisdom and courage
will be strong to cope with the whirlwind
of the time and guide the issue of our ma
tional affairs into the Port Of safety.
The Republican Legislature of Wiscon-
sin have now to say who shall represent
them in the Senate of the United States in
these coming stormy times. 1t is but yes
terday that the Senate have the second
time expressed their highest confidence in
the man of whom We are writing by elect
ing him president pro tenn. of their body
during the absence of the Vice President.
Can his own Legislature turn away from
him for any other man however worthy?
Justice to him, to themselves, to their
State, to the country, to the Republican
party and to the Senate of the United States
imperatively urges this one act as the eli
max of this work, and we confidently ex-
pect that during the coming month they
will choose the distinguished Senator,
Matthew H. Carpenter, to be his own sue
cessor.

2. By means chiefly Of the White
League and its teachings and practices the
$50 called Democrats of the South have
already got control of most of the late slave
States, and they are determined to have all
Of them before the election for President in
1876, and thus cast the one hundred and
thirty eight votes of those States as unit
for their candidate. Violence and fraud in
every form and phase are the means
by which this infamous League" which
is only another name for the Ku-Klux-
Khan, has accomplished its purposes thus
far in most of those States, and there is no
reason to doubt these means will be used
TO carry the election in 1876.
3. 1t takes one hundred and eighty -four
votes to elect the President. If all these
late slave States vote for the Democratic
candidate only forty-six votes in the free
States are required. New York, New Jer-
~sey and New Hampshire will be more than
enough; so also would Indiana and New
York
Now we do not question the right of the
people of these late slave States to vote the
Democratic or any other ticket, but we do
insist that in those States, as in the free
States of the North, the people shall be
permitted to vote without fear, and for such
candidates as they prefer; that the election
shall be conducted without violence and
fraud. If this is not done, then the one
hundred and thirty eight votes of these
States are made 10 set off the same number
Of votes in the free States, where such vio-
lence and fraud do not obtain. And this
brings us to the consideration of an impor-
tant question in this connection, viz: How
are the States in which elections are con-
Quoted peaceably and legally to protect

themselves against the counting of votes
obtained by fraud and violencef
The Constitution simply provides for the
opening and counting of the vote on day
named in the presence of both Houses of
Congress. When the vote for President
and Vice President in 1876 is opened and
counted it will be in the presence of Re-
publican Senate and of a largely Demo
cratic House of Representatives. If the
vote of any one or more States should ap-
pear TO have been obtained by fraud and
violence, to such an extent as would render
it wholly nugatory and void in the election
of any other officer, must it be counted the
same as if nothing of the sort existedl 1t
seems to us il should not,

''HE MAY sing with us, but he can't lead
the choir, was the remark Of a leading
Democrat the other day in allusion to
General Banks prospects for the Speaker
ship of the next House. We believe that
before the time for the election of Speaker
arrives General Banks sonorous voice will
be heard among those who: will join to
swell the grand chorus Of Republicanism
and opposition to the rotten Democracy.

THE Equal Bounty Bill is a measure
which should receive the immediate atten-
ton of Congress. In these hard times the
demands of hundreds and thousands of vet
eran soldiers, who never received any bounty
for recognition on an equality with their
more fortunate comrades, should be favor
ably received. We believe the bill is a just
one, and although it may call for the appro.
priatiOn of large sums of money, the funds
of the Government could not be devoted TO
a better purpose,

In THE South, where the lives OF black
men are in danger, there is a cry for some
thing more substantial than ''civil rights. "
1t is for protection against outrage, instead
of the privilege of going to a theatre or be-
ing buried in a cemetery supported, in
whole or in part, by taxation" In fact,
the majority of those interested would
rather not be buried at all.

MIR. JOHN P. FOLEY, for two years past
the managing editor of this paper, has re-
signed his position, to enter new fields Of
journalistic enterprise. The record of his
success is written in the increasing influ-

his connection with the paper he made many
friends for the journal and himself and he
leaves it with the best wishes of all con-
nected with it for his future success.
