In New York city the people are get
ting greatly alarmed about the extrava-
gance of the city government and the
rapidly accommodating municipal debt.
Between 1870 and now their debt has
increased from seventy-three to one
hundred and thirty millions, whilst the
annual expense Of carrying on the city
government, then nineteen millions,
has been increased to thirty-siX mill
lions. The real estate of the city which
was then valued at seven hundred and
seventy millions, is now valued at eight
hundred and eighty-four millions, an
increase of one hundred and fourteen
millions, which is almost balonced by a
decrease in the valuation of personal
property of ninety millions. New York
may we'll be alarmed when the value of
property is practically stationary, yet
the cost of carrying on the city govern
ment is almost doubled, and the debt
increased oyer tWO-thirds.

DEAR SIR-Mr. w. H. Boyd, agent
for r. H. Hudgen's Combined Harrow

for me OH the 22d day of September
with the. harrow he represents. The
piece of land was red bottom, and as
rough land as ever saw. 1t was stub

very nice and regular stand three days
sooner than some that I plowed in the

National Republican., 1875-06-21

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has had no
quarrel with the Typographical Union, and
will have none. 1t is owned and edited by
men who have been practical printers, and
who entertain the warmest sympathy for
the craft. AS the friend of working men
of all kinds, its columns have ever been
open TO a reasonable defense of the Union !;
but it appears, on investigation, that the
present rates Of prices paid for composition
as established by the Union are really dis
advantageous to the printers themselves.
1t is not necessary to explain this fact more
in detail, and it would be injudicious to 90
so, because it would inure to the benefit
of strangers if the public were fully in
formed regarding it. We merely allude to
it now, pending the discussion of prices by
the Union, for the purpose Of warning the
members of that body that unless some ac-
Commodation is reached between them and
their employers public sentiment will GER
tainlY justify the latter in the adoption OF
extraordinary measures. We do not wish
to be understood as advocating any sudden
change, or resort to undermined and
sneaking substitution of nom Union men
but, in a friendly way, we advise the
printers that their beet interests will be
served if they come to some reasonable
agreement before Congress meets. Every
employing printer in the District will gladly
yield something for the privilege of retain.
ing skilled labor, and the skillful Union
men should yield something in return.

STRICT ADHERENCE TO PARTY PRIEcI.
PIE AND RECORD.

The necessities which brought the Re
publican party into existence were not
fieeting and unstable. They had their
origin in the desire of loyal people of the
country to destroy the fallacy of State
rights The struggle between the pro-
slaveryitesi.a and the esnti-slaveryites was sub
sidiary to this consideration, although the
discussions which occurred as part Of that
struggle were active influences in centering
public thought upon the question of q
divided allegiance between the governments
of States and the General Government.
The times required Capitalization Of
power in the latter. To accomplish this
without shocking the sensitive love of the
people for forms which are free from even
an appearance Of strong or arbitrary gov
eminent was delicate task. But while 1t
was being accomplished the war occurred,
and the people were taught the absolute
necessity of it by the stern experience Of
civil and sectional strife. In this way the
PRINCIPLES of the party were fixed and its
record was made. To deyiste from those
principles now or hereafter, or from the
path of consistency which is plainly laid
down by that record, would be both dis
graceful and ruinous. The history OF
National Republican., 1875-06-21

THE prevailing centennial excitements
have induced great deal of research into
the past history Of the country and un-
earthed many of the peculiarities of the
public men Of the earlier period Of our his
tory. Among other things, it is discovered
that Washington always rode in coach
and -four, " that the hoOGs Of his horses were
blackened and polished like a dandy's
shoes, and that their teeth were picked and
cleaned by careful groOms This has all
been published time and again; but we
have failed to perceive that the Detective
press has discovered in it any evidence that
Washington was an aristOcrat or any enemy
Of his country. President Grant, plain,
unassuming man, is described by them as
grasping tyrant simply becluse he loves
and admires a good horse

SENATOR CHRIsTIANCY, of Michigan,
is among the latest accesslons to the
list of those who prophesy that there
will be no Third Term" Of course the
Democratic papers take up the prophecy,
and comment upon it favorsbly. In fact,
the assurance it contains is the sweetest po-
litical morsel the Democrats have had
between their lips since Buchanans admin
istration. Do they relish it because they
appreciate it as declaration of principle, or
because it carries with it the assurance that
the hardest man for them to beat next year
will not be a candidate?

Ex-SPEAKER BLAINE is being talked of
as the leader of the Republican party in the
next House. By right of experience,
ability and former position he is entitled
to it, and if he maintains on the floor the
principles he has asserted on the stump
since the last session, he will satisfy the
most ardent friends Of the party. Now
that the Third Term project is out of the
way, he will probably be satisfied that the
Republicans of the South can be protected
from violence without insuring the re-
election of President Grant. The So
called Force bill would have become law
if this assurance had existed when the first
Republican caucus was held, just before
the holiday recess.

WHEN TWEED was convicted and SEN

rrrAm The chic.rn Tribunal

Rumor has it, and with an appearance OF
unusual directness, that Senator Morton Is
openly in the field as Presidential candidate,
md that his recent visit to the East was made
wholly for political purposes. The friends Of
the Indiana Senator profess to be informed of
the object and result of his conference with The
President at Long Branch; and they state
with more of exuberance than authenticity, we
imagine-that Grant has privately declared
for Morton, and has assured the latter that the
influence of the Administration will be exerted,
SO far as it properly may be, in his interest as
a candidate for the Presidency in 1876. The
story goes that Morton confidently relies upon
the support of the West and South, but that
he is not sure Of the East. Just how far this
expression of enthusiastic friends may be taken
as Morton's own estimate of the situation we
can only guess, but in all probability they
have pronounced more freely than he would
be willing to do, and have dealt more largely
in hopeful representation than in accom-
plished fact.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY

After all that has been said in the gush
of fraternal sentimentalism which is now so
prevalent in the country, the following
communication, written by R. W. Joynen,
an ex-Confederate captain, of Pitt county,
N. c., to the Tarboro SoutherHer, will
prove to be refreshing reading.
We noticed in your last issue an article
copied from the LOUisylLe Commercial, and
written by an eI-Confederste officer, endors-
ing an article from the pen of Prof. G. W.
Rauck, advocating joint decoration of those
who wore the gray and those who wore the
blue in the late war. As an humble follower
of the "stars and bars" we protest against
any such proposition. We hope the day will
never come when the long-suffering people of
the impoverished South will cease to remem-
Der, with grateful hearts, the sufferings, hard
ships and self-sacrifcing devotion OF those
noble Southern boys,

say he has the support of the President. Sena,
tor Morton is a very able man, and is entitled
