Especial to the ST. Louis Republican,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2G.-The inefficienc
, of the party lash yesterday, when the effoi
was made to whip in the Republicans VIII
had exhibited disposition to wander out @
! the ranks and seek some other path than tina
on which the Southern Republicans wishet
them to walk, has continued to be the subjec
of general conversation to-day The carpet
baggers, not willing to give it up entirel,
with one discontinue boast that they viii
make another trial of their strength mex
Monday; meanwhile king caucus has beer
again invoked, and they have succeeded il
getting another meeting called for this even
ing to devise the ways and means Of accom-
plishlng their purpose
The effort to whoop up the weak ones is
quite apparent and lea Ting to all species OF
desperate tactics. The leading men of the
| party are threatened with all manner of dire
| revenge if they continue to disobey the man
dates OF the caucus, andthere is the very best
reason to believe that President Grant APP
proves, II he does not actually inspire, all the
extreme measures resolved upon in recent eau
cuses. In this connection an editorial article
in the household organ Of the White House,
the National Republican, this morning deserves
great attention.
Your correspondent has reliable infOrma-
ton that the proof of the editorial referred to
was sent to Attorney General Williams for in
spection and approval at a late hour last night
and was revised by him. tits significant then
as an authoritative expression OF the views Of
the Administration upon the present crisis OF
the party After the r ference to the fact that
the maj ority Of the Louisiana committee did
undoubtedly sustain the position of the Sub
Committee with reference to Southern affairs,
two of the committee being Democratic, and
tyUn nd R..,,
only, the editorial proceeds as follows:
OF course the selection of such a commit
tee was an error-a blunder, of which many
man less sagacious than Mr.. Speaker Blaine
might have been guilty; but it is a mistake
from the effects of which it is not impossible |
to recover. The House will have it in its
power, when the facts are reported by that |
portion of the committee now in New Or |
leans, to act adviSedly. regardless of the evil
dent partisan reports of the majority of this
truly named "outrage committee" At the
same time it will be advised regarding affairs
rs they exist in other Southern States by
reports from Alabama Mississippi and
from the information embraced in
he reliable reports furnished by
such conservative and unpre JUDGED
officers of the army Of Major General Nc
Dowell, and equally reliable officials of the
civil branch of the service. With this ex-
ocit intelligence as the basis of its action,
here will be no excuse if the House fails to
'ecover from the effect of the blunder to
which we refer. In the meantime it will be
he part of discretion to abstain from intima-
ions that the selection of the Louisiana com
nittee was intended to cast discredit upon the
southern policy Of the Administration, or as
to the President himself Let
IS treat it as an error, of which the authors
re now as regretful as the most earnest
Vell-wisher Of the party or as the most earnest
pponent of the State rights secession element
1 the South.
