become the tools of local politicians whose
synpathies are in opposition to the Repub-
lean party and the Administration. In
some of the larger cities and towus, the
editors Of Democratic newspapers are en-
ployed to supply the news; and the result
is the utter subsection efthe foremost news
gathering agency in the country to the con-
troll of the Democracy. The dispatches
invariably expose the fact; and notwith-
standing the very general inclination in
the North to discredit all kinds Of political
news that comes over the wires from the
South, the result has been to create mis-
taken impression regarding the condition
of affairs in that section. and to materially
aid the Gushers in their recent attempts to
deceive the people Of both sections regard
ing their actual relations toward each

THE Cincinnati Gazette seems to think
that the next Democratic National plat
form will embrace a hard money plank.
We are not SO sure of this. Ii is true that
the certain defeat of the party in Ohio on
that issue may have some influence in
this direction, but the tendency of the
Democratic leaders to oppose everything
suggested by Republicans will have the ef-
feet to induce them to adhere to their soft
money policy. II they do attempt this
they will simply be guilty of stealing re-
spectacle livery in which to serve the devil.
All the pledges to maintain the nations
faith, either as regards the constitutional
amendments and the reconstruction acts, or
the integrity Of its credit belong naturally
to the Republican party, and the Demo

IT costs the Typographical Union five
hundred dollars week, in round numbers,
to maintain its unjustifable ''strike" against
the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Here is
five hundred dollars taken from the
pockets Of men who are at work and
put into the pockets of others who
are willing to work but who are
prohibited from working by the arbi-
trary rules of an organization which is con-
trolled in the interest of certain class of
Government employees. If these involun-
tary idlers were allowed to resume their
work in this Office they would be able to
earn about six hundred dollars week, In
stead of spending five hundred dollars of the
money earned by their fellow union men.
And this is only one item of the cost Of the
"strike." It shows, however, that more
than q thousand dollars q week-at that
rate more than $50, 900 q years. taken
from the families and dependents Of the
Union men, and virtually thrown away.
Besides this, the Union men are taxed to
support so-called workingmen's organ,
which never can be made to pay, and
which exerts no beneficial influence in any
direction whatever.

DR.. SPAKE, one Of the three Independent
delegates to the North Carolina convention
turns out to be Democrat, pledged to at
tempts to amend the Constitution. The
two others, Messrs. Ransom and Wilcox,
will, no doubt, vote with the Republicans
for an immediate adjournment. This will
be sufficient to overcome the Democratic
conspiracy for the destruction of these con-
stitutional safeguards for the preservation
of which the people of the State have IN
mistakably declared by very large vote.
But it seems certain that the Republican
delegates from Robson county will be ad-
mitted. The Republican success will
thereby be assured beyond all doubt If
the Democrats should by foul means, of
which they are capable, succeed in obtain

Art OF DRESS IN CONGRESS.

tFrom the Home Journal, Augusta
Take Congressmen o. o class, probably they
are as badly dressed . set Of men Is one can ind

are Olarkson Potter, OF New York, In the
House, and In the Senate, General Burnside
Clarkson Potter adheres closely to the English
style Of dressing. His whiskers are cut after the
English fashion, and he Affects the English style
Of pronunciation. Yet there are but few men In
the House who are his equals In ability and
capacity for work. General Burnside, the
best dresser In the Senate, Affects the undress

more than ordinary notice. He was once Q tailor

THE statement of our imports and ex-
ports for the month Of July, furnished by
the Chief Of the Bureau of Statistics, and
published in another column, shows
a considerable falling off in our mer-
chandise imports, as compared with those
for July, 1874, the latter having amounted
TO SAT, 162, 476, while those for the same
month ofthe present year had value of
only 81, 2S6. 391. The values of our ner-
chandise exports for the same two months
were nearly equal those for July, 1875,
amounting to $37, 3S3, I'll in gold coin,

Harper's Weekly, in a long article dis
cussing the charges against Secretary De
lano and Commissioner Smith, which it
admits have not been proved, says
"The President, however, seldom conforms
to what he regards as hostile suggestions, or
those which proceed from question of any act
or officer of the Administration; and he would
probably think 1t wiser to leave the whole sub
ject untouched until the report of the inyesti-
eating commission appears"
There is a great deal of truth in this
suggestion, of the kind that is based upon
common sense, and desire to do equal
justice to all the parties concerned in this
controversy. 1t is, in short, an
explanation in brief Of the views
of the thinking public regarding
the matter, and viii serve to justify the
President in the adoption of the policy he
has pursued. He can ask no better justifi.
cation nor can the officials whose conduct
is now being investigated find any fault
with it. They may object, naturally, to
the character Of the charges and of those
who make them; but now that public at
tentioa has been 50 generally aroused, they
are as anxious as anyone else that the in
vestgation shall be thorough and convinc-

THE Wisconsin Democrats are in hot water
again. Governor Taylor. who was elected
as a Reformer by boiling Republicans,
although nominated by Democrats, is try
ing to command the nomination from
that party again. An informal consulta-
ton or leading Democrats was held in Mil
waukee lately, the proceedings of which
were published by the Sentinel of that city,
and included remarks not at all oompli-
mentary to Taylor. Among other things
he was called 'jackass" by one
speaker, and q fraud" by others, the
evident drift of the meeting being to throw
him overheard. and nominate an out and
out Democratic ticket The Republicans are,
as . matter of course, rejoiced at this, and
take no pains to conceal the evidence of
disafection in the ranks of their opponents.
The result will be the reclamation of the
State to the party in the principles of which
the overwhelming majority of the people
have implicit faith.
