National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-03-13

THE Richmond Wing quotes from our
columns an allusion to President Grant :
ga certain demand that some man of his
"pith and marrow shall be elected, 3" and
asks "what does that meant" In the
same article from which the Wing quotes,
the following sentence occurs:
"There are plenty of men of this kind now
in the ranks of the Republican party who have
not been so long out of the Democratic ranks
as to forget exactly what kind of management
is required to successfully cope with the STRAIT
egy of the latter organization"

Lady Mordaunt Guilty.
NNT nv. 70 IHT . UEAsV
From the New York Herald,

From the New York Herald.l
The remarkable divorce suit which occasioned
so much scandal in England q few years ago, has
at length been judicialIy decided. II will be re-
membered that an effort was made to prevent Sir
Charles Mordaunt obtaining a divorce on the
ground of his wiie's insanity. In order to shut
out child he had good reason to believe ilIegiti
mate from succession to the Mordaunt title and
estates, he persistently sought legal redress and
has at length triumphed. Tho appearance of the
heir presumptive to the English throne in the case
gave the scandal unusual interest for the people,
as It seemed likely at one period that the Prince
Of Wales would be joined as correspondent. This
expectation was, however, defeated By the Prince
appearing as q witness and swearing positively
that though he had visited the lady very fire.
quentIy their relations had never gone beyond
the bounds Of friendship. The verdict against
Lady Mor6aunt is q severe blow to several noble
houses in England, as her three sisters-alI re.
markable for their beauty-are married to great
territorial robles

this especial act, if any was sought, will
result from thorough appreciation of the
honest motives which prompted the Presi-
dent to interfere to prevent an extraor-
binary, and perhaps extravagant drain on
the Treasury at time when the resources
of the country are being strained to meet
the requirements of absolute necessities.
But if the Opposition feels so awful bad
about this. they will have the opportunity
in the next House, in which they have
majority, to aid in another passage of the
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-03-13

THE AvIDITY with which the Opposition
press seize upon and print paragraphs to
show that any of the newly-elected Sena-
tors are not in thorough accord with the
majority of the Republican party is some
thing akin to the ludicrous. Let them print
this: The Hon. Angus Cameron, who sue
ceeds Matt. Carpenter, is a better and a
truer Republican than his predecessor.

THE NEWS from New Hampshire seems
to have dampened the ardor of the Democ-

secure a revision of the constitution of the
State. They seem to believe that the people
of the North are, after all, little more Re-
publican than the Republican Forty third

again becomes ''question of policy

prints truthful paragraph like the following:
with all his faults and crotchets Senator An
drew johnson has rarely, in the course Of a long
public career, been accused Of improperly using
money to secure political advancement. Personal
honesty has been of his strong points In nearly
all his hard-fought contests. He can therefore
afford to smile, and people generally may look
skeptically upon the charges now made against
him in the Tennessee Legislature, namely, that
he bought his way into the United States Senate.
But 1t Is proper that such accusations should re-
ceive attention whenever made, and the eX-Presi-

THE DISTRICT LABORERs.

Some misrepresentation of facts regard
ing the Indebtedness of the government of
the District to its laborers have lately been
made public which are calculated to mis-
lead and perhaps to deceive many innocent
and confding persons. The Commissioners
for the government of the District were
charged with the responsible duty of pay
ing direct to the laborers certain sums of
money due to those lsborers by the con-
tractors who had employed them and ne
elected or refused to pay them, An appro-
priation of money to be used in this manner
was made by Congress, and the money was
conscientiously used for the purpose indi-
Gated by the act of Congress. The Com
missioners could do no more and no less.
In the case of one contractor, for example,
the Commissioners found that he was in
debted to his laborers to the amount of
$35, 200, but that the District government
was indebted to the contractor only to the
NO. ~ 900. They accordingly paid
the employees of this actor each one a
pro rata sum of the al It due him, until
the SIS, 900 were exhausted. Another con-
tractor, it was discovered, owed his laborers
$4,000 but as the District government
had already settled accounts with him, and
was not indebted to him, the Commission
ers were not authorized to pay his laborers
anything In this way, in strict compli-
ance with law, all the money appropriated
by Congress for this purpose was expended.
These payments, with others, resulted in the
settlement of all the accounts against
the District government, so far as the labor
ers are concerned, so that it does not owe
single laborer a single cent to-day. If any
contractor has failed to settle with his labor
ers and now owes them anything, the District
government has nothing to do with it ex
cept to protect the laborers in their suits
against those contractors properly brought
before the proper courts. The Commits
sioners, having done their duty in the mat
ter as required by law, are now confident of
the approval of all thoughtful and unbiased
people. The following letters relative to
this subject will be read with interest, as
they contain detailed statements Of all the
facts and figures connected with the mat
ter:

ued to grow cold until A. NJ, when at a
point on the East Concord road it registered
3so below and the mercury CONCEALED. In
other localities in the city the temperature
ranged from go to $50 below. Reports
from other places in the State, all below

The above seductive title is the heading
Of Brashear Necs extra, which comes to
us in the shape of handbill describing a
gift enterprise undertaken for the benefit of
the paper. 1.-The Brashear Neus,' the ex-
ira says, sis published at Brashear city,
Louisiana, and devoted to the reputation
Of the illegal debt which has been fastened
upon the people by usurpation and carpet
bag domination" Brashear is a town which
thrives upon money brought to it in the
carpet-bag Of Mr.. Morgan. The Neus is
evidently opposed to improvements and
Northern capital, to payment OF debts, and
to the government; advocating such princi-
pies it strangely enough gets up lottery to
pay its expenses. The gifts are desirable,
and every subscriber to the enterprise is
liable to get, IN addition to toy, copy of
the Ne,cs for one year, which is not so de
sirable. By the liberal abuse of strangers
and those in authority over disturbers of
the peace, and iudicious distribution of
chromos, the Ners should attain wide cir
culation in Brashear, and we wish it all the
success it deserves.
