GA SUBSCRIBER - rites to us from Wis
consin to inform US that we were in error
when we classified Senator-elect Cameron
among the Independent or Doubtful mem
bers of the next Senate. ''He is certainly
" as good Republican as the President, "
writes our correspondent, 'fand will not,
"under any circumstances, prove himself
" to be anything than a warm supporter of
IS the Administration in its Southern policy.
&c He may not be so eloquent or so effective
" a man as his predecessor-there are few
"men who are-but Wisconsin, will have
" no occasion, so far as his politics are con-
" cerned, to regret that he succeeds Car

GEN. NEGLEY is entitled to credit for the
boldness and truthfulness with which he
characterized the Rbsenteeism in the House
and the motives prompting it last Thursday
night We quote from the Record:
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts. 1 believe
have the right now to move that all further
proceedings under the call be dispensed with.
Mr.. Negley. hope not. desire the odium
to attach to the Republicans who have coal
esced with our enemies as well as those who
have remained away from the sittings of the
House Sinking their duty in a shameless
manner and OBTAINING US here all night, and
who have so far prevented us from enactirg
any legislation to secure the better enforce
ment Of the laws and equal protection to all
American citizens in every section.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts. wish to have
that done as much as anybody, but their names
will appear in the list of absentees and that is
all the good you can do. You can only show
them to their constituents in the Record. We
have quorum!Of Republicans in this hall now.
Mr.. Negley. should like to see the spectacle
of the candidates for the Presidency, for
Judges and for prominent positions on commit
tees in the next House arrayed before the
House for absence from the House without its
leave. leave the country to surmise the real
motives of these absentees.

MOE LAW prevails in many sections of
the South now, sustained by armed or
CARNATIONS known as the White League.
1t is proposed that these organizations
shall be dispersed, that the rioters shall be
punished for their crimes, and that peace
and quiet shall be restored. The State
governments and local authorities are in
capable of accomplishing these results, and
the power of the General Government
through Congress has been invoked. This
is the whole story in q nutshell The
House will partially settle the question to-
day. If the caucus bill to Protect Electors
passes that body, as it should, every law
abiding citizen will rejoice. If it fails to
pass, every masked assassin in the South
will throw aside his disguise, and thereaf-
ter repeat his crimes in broad day light.

"YoU MADE a mistake about Georgia,"
writes ga Reader" -possiblya Democrat
" in your estimate of Republican Southern
States. Georgia is Democratic by sixty
" thousand, and will always cast her cleo
q toral votes for the Democratic candidate
sc for President. Our correspondent is in
error. Georgia is Democratic simply be-
cause the Republican majority in the State
has not been allowed to demonstrate its
full strength at the polls for several years.
In fact, the colored voters Of the State,
with rare exceptions, have not even at
tempted to exercise the right ofsufrage
since President Grants first election. No
better illustration o. Ku-Klux and White
League peace-a peace which is the result
Of overshadowing intimidation-can be
found than is presented in tbs present con-
dition of affairs in that State But it is the
peace Of death-death to the very spirit of
free institutions.

NEW TOWN TOWNSHIP, February p, 1875.
at meeting held near Clarksville, the follow
ing resolutions were unanimously adopted:
James B. Sener has misrepresented the Repub-
licans Of this district in Congress, and has be-
trayed the trust replaced in him, for which The
NATIONAL REPUBLloAH has very properly sx-
posed his treachery and held him up as " Judas
1scariot," an epithet which expresses the charac-
ter Of the man. He has secured the appointment
Of number Of Conservatives to:otice In this Dis
trict, who instead Of being any advantage to the
party, are q hindrance and q drawback, bringing
for the most part opprobrtum upon our party In
stead Of bringing strength. He has even, in some
Instances, had worthy Republicans removed and
Conservatives put in their places, and has, In many
instances, secured the appointment Of Conserva-
tives less worthy and capable than Republicans
who had been recommended by their party.
Therefore, be it
/. Resolved, (by the Republicans of King and
Queen County in convention assembled,) That we
repudiate Judas 1scariot Sener."
2 That we cordially approve Of the civil rights
bill passed by the House Of Representatives, and
respectfully ask the Senate Of the United States
to secure to all Republicans their rights by the
passage Of the bill during its present session.

which position he has secured for Conservative,
We demand that this Conservative be removed,
and Mr.. W. L. Vessels appointed in his stead.

The Aim of the southern COnspirators.

The Aim OF the southern Consplrators.
Editorial Correspondence Of the Albany Evening
Journal
All this is not hate or madness without q
method-it has a deep and far-reaching design.
1t aims first Of all at the control of every South
ern State. On fair and free vote, several of
those States are Republican. South Carolina,
Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana and
Arkansas have an undoubted Republican major
ity. To Wrest them from their hands intimIda-
ton is necessary. With the mastery of every
Southern State, the rebel element has two posi-
bilities. In the hrst place, it may enforce its
local policy; and in the second place. It only needs
fifty electoral votes from the entire North and
West to capture the General Government. With
the success of the former plan, It will reduce the
the latter plan It viii bring forward every i'm
aginRble claim. Already in several Southern
States schemes have been proposed with the de-
sign Of shutting out the blacks from the ballot
old masters. Then again the rebel element OF
Arkansas has Just adopted q new constitution.
In the constitution Of 1865 there was prohibition
Of secession. In the constitution Of 1874 this pro-
hibition is struck out. Why?
The country still misconceives very much OF
what It sees at the South. Take the "bandittf"
dispatch Of Sheridan. He simply used language
which Washington himself used. But, whether
justified or not, the country has never understood
Its purpose. Sheridan had no thought that the
plan OF military commission he suggested would
be adopted. The dispatch was not designed for
report TO Washington or for the information Of
the country, but for immediate effect In New Or
simply piece of strategy. Ali New Orleans was
in ferment. 1t was the day after the coup
d. etGt in the Legislature. The city was powder
%sFS spSS T Dssdp an s sx
subdue the inflammatory populace, and Sheri-
dan, with o soldiers keen eye, wrote his dispatch.
Its object was shown by the fact that he sent It,
first OF all, to the New Orleans papers. It had
its effect and he was right. o. E. s,

An Eloquent and Pathetic Appeal.

A IoyalIst of the South, writing friend in this
city Of the situation Of that section In general and
Of Arkansas In particular, concludes with this pa
thetic and thrilling sppeal:
Failure on this Southern question! Who talks
Of falling IN . tWo-thirds Republican Congress?
Who surrenders to rebelsf Tell him to walk up
aRd lay down his arms-or record his vote, which
is the same thing. TIE nation wants list OF their
names. When the good Lord James Douglas
was carrying the heart Of the Bruce to rest in the
Holy Land, he was hard beset by the Moors In
Spain. As soen as he saw his case was desperate
he took from his neck the silver casEet contain:
ing the heart Of the king and threw It forward into
the midst o. his foes, crying Pass thou before as
thou vast wont, and Douglas will follow thee or
die" Six hundred thousand hearts Of heroes have
been flung before these Congressman into the
Tick Of the light, and they alone can redeem
slain brothers Is not wasted.
sit may be easy for Q hero to die when the
shouts Of victory drown the low MORNINGS Of hope
and love; when the triumphant wave OF the old
flag dims the dear vision Of home; but to give up
the life Of early manhood, with all its rich prom
Iss and get no EoSd for ones country in return!
patriotism. Yet this Is what thousands OF their
comrades have done. They love hardship, braved
theif country, and died without the sight. Shall
they have died in vain? Bid them remember the
stslWart, generous men who have gone down at
their side. Think Of the noble lives they have
seen quenched-among them, Lincoln's-to satisfy
the unQuencbable hate Of these men whom they
seem to delight to honor. Shall they be thrown
we'll how many o young wife carries about o
crushed heart in her desolate bosom; how manga
gray-haired father is weighed down with grief Tor
the pride Of his old age; they cannot forget the
mothers who yearn IN agony Of spirit Tor the
brave boys their eyes must never see again; they
cannot have forgotten Libby and Andersonvillel
Shall all this anguish be fruitless2 BY every life
lost, by every heart broken, they-the men into
whose hands the people have intrusted this
blood bought prtZe-are sacredly bound to sue
coed.
"some of them have said, $50 many were sacri-
need and 80 little good gained, we might as we'll
give over Give over shameI cruelty! If we
were going TO do that we might better have done
1t before We began. If We must lose all these
priceless young lives, and then AFTER all let
bloody treason flourish over u.s. we are indeed o
Wretched people. Shall the black throat Of 70
belllon engult our braves and only be fattened
by their blood Never For every patriot It has
cost us its doom should be the more sure and the
more terrible. 1t is because so many have been
sacrificed, and because SO many Of them were Of
the noblest truest, purest, we had to give that
they should conquer. We do not ask them to
avenge their blood. Vengeance is mine, will
repay, saith the Lord; but we do expect of them
to wiring from the enemy the price for which they
gave IT."

Mr.. PIERCE, of Massachusetts,, and
Judas Iscariot, of Virginia, are especially
commended by the correspondents of the
Opposition Press for having worked
" faithfully with the Democrats to prevent
s'the consideration of the BILL to Protect
Electors. Other so-caIled Republican men,
bers Of the House are mentioned by the
same authority as opposed to the bill; but
these two alone are accredited with jealous
efforts in a direct way to aid the Democ

THEY expelled a member from the North
Carolina Legislature a few days ago for
alleged Enthusiastically the Raleigh
newspapers called it. The debate on the
resolution to expel took such wide range
as to embrace illusions to patriotism. This
was straying wide of the mark, and the
discussion was choked off because it was
conceded that the question of patriotism in
a Democratic Legislature in North Caro-
lima was not germane to the subject. If
the precedent of this expulsion is faithfully
followed the political complexion of the
