snuTHRRN cHIYALRY.

The recent disgraceful fracas between
Generals Bradley T. johnson and ]. D.
Imboden, Of Richmond, Is only another ex-
empliication of the evil so prevalent at the
South of taking the law into ones own
hand for administration. Perhaps we
should have more properly said the evil of
taking vengeance and the punishment of
wrongdoing into the hands of the individ-
ual, instead of leaving them to the minis
tiers of the law. Here are two gentlemen
who distinguished themselves as Confede-
rate officers, and who are both somewhat
ambitious to be thought well of politically.
One of them has just been elected to be
law.maker. Was it in order to show his
fitness and capacity as q law!maker that he
hastened to demonstrate his ability as a
law-breaker2 If he is amenable to the
charges which rumor alleges against him
he is liable to be prosecuted and disbarred.
If he is innocent of the practices of which
he is accused, his breach of the peace in
attacking his accuser neither establishes
that fact nor vindlcates his competency as a
proper legislator What can be the use of
making laws if they are to be broken at
The will and pleasure of the parties who
make them? Or what is the impression
made upon the minds of constituency by
these exhibitions of lawlessness On the part
of our legislators? 1t certainly cannot be
salutsry. 1t cannot be construed as rec
ommendaion of fitness to legislate for the
public peace and general welfare.
General johnson is under bonds to keep
the peace for twelve months. Hsmpered
by these bonds he must take his seat in
the Senate of Virginia as a law-maker for
the State. General Imboden is in attend
ance upon convention in St. Louis, Mo-,
TO devise means of cheap transportation,
and telegraphs thence asking suspension
of public opinion-not law :, he, too, evil
IDENTIFY thinks the laws are not made for
such as he; but of public opinIon-until
he shall return and justify himself by de-
monstrating that he should have gotten the
best of the fight and chastised his opponent
then and there if they had not been summa-
rily separated. And he appears to think
that would have been satisfactory ter
mination of the matter. The majesty and
supremacy of the law and its importance
seems to be entirely ignored by this brace
of Generals as of no consequence. ThisI Is
the humiliating feature of the case, This
is the feature of Southern character which
gives rise to most of the outbreaks against
the peace of that section.

If THERE is sny truth in the report con-
tanned in q recent number of the London
Hour 10 the effect that an investigation of
the affairs of the Emma Mine shows Gen.
eral Schenck, our Minister to the Court of
St. James, to have received gratuity of
$4,000 in paid up stock of the company,
with written guarantee that it should
yield an annual cash dividend of eighteen
per centum, in consideration Of his indorse-
ment of the validity and genuineness of the
concern, he should be Immediately recalled.
We must say, however, that the statement
is incredible. 1t bears upon its face the
evidence of stock jobbery, envy and malice.
Nevertheless the charge is OF sufficient
gravity to demand the most rigid scrutiny
by the State Department and that promptly.
The charge referred TO embraces the firm
of Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co., Baron
Albert Grant and others as being in the
same category with the American Minister
in this " Emma Mine" business, except
that the latter did not exact the eighteen
per cent. guarantee of dividend. It's be-

Another "word About virginia politics.u

To the Editor Of the National Reps6licdn:
SIR You will bear me out in the assertion
that did not write your article, "a Word
About Virginia Politics" in your paper of this
morning; but It is so nearly what / said and
repeated several times during yesterday that
am astonished at the similarity. 1 indorse in
toto the first paragraph. The second is almost
word for word as would put it, and the re-
mainder of the article, barring few words
that would soften somewhat, sounds like an
echo. Parties are not made. They come.
Men may propose, but circumstances will dis
pose. Until there is some more potential and
tangible bond of union between the Republi-
can purity of Virginia and those who acted in
opposition to the regular nominees of the Con-
servative party at the late election, than is
afforded in the call for conference" of Vir-
ginia Republicans in Washington, to which we
do not see the name of a single recalcitrant
Democrat or Conservative attached, or to
whose action not one of these gentlemen has
authorized any one to bind him, we must re-
gard all such moves as the smallest sort of
fudge. To say they were "delusions" and
"snares" would be to dignity them and give
them character beyond their deserts. But, as
nOu NOiACSbAy oas bhO AeSpuDuCaA 80 q
party, has no part or lot in this move. Who
got it up, and who were to have been bound by
its action? 1 assert, without fear of success
full contradiction, that not twenty men in the
whole State, outside of the small coterie who
got It up, would have given its recommenda-
tions any sort of consideration, or considered
themselves in any way bound by its action.
But am pleased TO believe that the poor
little iH-gotten bantling has been strangled in
fits birth, and you have the sincere thanks of
every true Virginia Republican for your agency
in the good work. Nevertheless, in conclu-
sion let me say that 1 think q conference of
the party of the State, properly gotten up, in
which the intelligence and worth of the party,
as well as its stamina, would be represented,
and to which all recalcitrant Democrats or
Conservatives might be invited, might be of
incalculable advantage to the party. Itwould
probably bring all kindred elements into har-
monious cooperation. 1 simply make the
suggestion. WIN you aid us in the movement
Respectfully, &C., G.K. GHMER.

CONFEDERATE REPRESENTATION IN THE
AMERICAN CONGRESS.

Congress opens this winter with Confede-
rate representatives in both branches, repre-
senting Confederate constituencies in each Of
the late slave States ofthe American Union.
IT these men stood upon their Southern
ism" we would not object to their presence
in Congress, much as we dislike all forms
of sectionalism, and especially Southern
sectionalism. If these men claimed to be
Americans first, Southerners second. and
Confederates last, we should feel that their
presence in Congress would not be incon-
sistent with the national honor and safety.
But these men do not occupy, nor do they
pretend to occupy, any such attitude. Their
pride is that they are Confederates, and
they claim to be recognized as such. There
is much to encourage them in thus putting
forward this claim. Certain people at the
North have already proposed to erect
monument in the State of New York to
the memory of the Confederate dead. Bos-
ton last summer extended the honors of the
city to Confederate military companies
from Maryland, Virginia and South Caro-
lima. These companies were not received as
State soldiers, or as Southern militia. They
were received in Boston as Contedsrates,
toasted as such, and lionized as such.
We do not RAISE this question in any
spirit of animosity or unfairness. We raise
it because the time has arrived when the
country must deal with the Confederate
element, established, as it is, inside of our
Union. 1t is now an organized political
power within the Union, controlling eleven
States of the Union, and able at will to
revolutionize four others. This power re-
fleets itself in 1913 votes in the Electoral
College, and is represented by its partisans
in the House Of Representatives and in the
Senate of the American Congress. Such
power as this will, if not checked, corrupt
the Government. If it is permitted to re-
construct the late slave States on the basis
of negro serfdom as the corner stone of the
new South, 1t will undo all that the Repub-
ican party has sought to accomplish
through emancipation.
We shall soon see this Confederate power
displaying its true animus and purpose in
the organization of the new House of Rep
resentatives. We shall see it in the selec.
ton of Speaker, in the choice of Clerk,
Doorkeeper, and the appointment of COM
mittees and the selection of minor officers.
In the meanwhile we would direct the at
tention of Republican members to this new
feature introduced Into Congress. Are we
to have Confederate America after all?

THE suggestion OF DR.. Gilmer, in another
column, for a conference OF Virginia Re-
publicaas and disaffect d or recalcitrant
Democrats, with view Of inducing some
harmonious action among all who are op.
posed to the present sham Conservative OF
Democratic organization, is worthy of the
serious consideration of all the best men in
the State. 1t is time to begin the organiza.
ton of the Republican forces for the cam.
paign Of 1876, and it would be well to
construct such platform as all Old-Line
Wings and straight-out Republicans, in
short, all anti-Democrats, can stand upon
shoulder to shoulder, if such a thing is
found to be practicable after full, free and
fair interchange of views.

yosd belief that men of such high charac-
ter as General Schenck and Hugh McCul-
loch, and holding such distinguished posi-
tons in the political and financial world as
are accorded to them, could lend themselves
to this questionable transaction. But for
the honor of the country and the credit OF
American diplomacy we hope the truth In
the matter may be at once made known
and such action taken in the premises as
the merits of the case NAV demand.
