HARPER's PERRY.

Just now the attention of thoughtful peo.
pie is being very earnestly directed to the
interests, State and national, involved in
the historic site of Harper's Ferry For
sixty years a Government armory was To-
Gated there, but during the war it was de-
stroyed, together with all its works and
machinery. After the destruction the Gov
the armory had been located, including the
water power on the Potomac and Shenan-
doah rivers. This sale was unfortunately,
or perhaps fortunately, made to a company
of spectators, who were fthe opinion that
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
were not possessed of the right of way, and
that for this right of way they could easily
charge the company sufficient sum to
raise their purchase money. BY the terms
of the sale they were not required to pay
dollar in cash, and they never have. To
the infinite surprise of the purchasers, the
Baltimore and Ohio Company presented a
title to the property in the shape of for
NAL document, officially giving the company
the right of way, from Mr.. Poinsett, Secre.
tary of War during Mr.. Van Buren's ad-
ministration, and also a deed from Mr..
Burn to the property. At this point the
purchasers gave up even the pretense of
ever paying for the land they had bought.
judgments in law and a decree in chancery
were obtained for the purchase money, and
a resale of the property was ordered, but
the spectators somehow succeeded in in
ducing the Government to join them in
q suit against the Baltimore and Ohio
Company, to determine the question
of the right of way and the title, and
this cause is now pending in the Uni
ted States district court at Wheeling. 1t
is probable that a decision will be given
about the 9th OF September next, and every
weIljudging person informed of the facts
is of the opinion that the decision will BE
fully and squarely in favor of the railroad
company. Anticipating this, it is under
stood that the purchasers are now willing
that the Government shall reinstate itself
National Republican., 1875-06-03

in its title, and we have the highest
authority for stating that early in the next
session of Congress Mr.. Charles J. Fdulk-
ner, member Of Congress from that Dis
trict, will introduce bill to settle the dis
pute in favor of the Government, and at
the same time accompany the bill with
proposition that the Government shall re-
build the armory at that point-frst as
national necessity, and second, as fair
concession to the South. Harper's Ferry,
only two hours and half ride from Wash
ingtonris one of the most picturesque places
on the continent, and if the great armorial
workshops of the Government should be
rebuilt there it would become still more at
tractive to visitors, and greatly enhance the
business and prosperity of adjacent COM
munities. This proposition seems practical
and most reasonable. The reinstatement
of the Government in its title is matter
in which all are interested, and, as itwould
be manifestly sound in law and in public
policy, the proposition will undoubtedly
command the serious attention of Congress.
At any rate, the interests of the Government
at this point are of a character much more
vital than those of spectators. Harper's
Ferry is situated in West Virginia, but the
time has come when its pretensions to be
classed as a city in Southern State should
be laid aside. 1t is entitled to the rank of
a border State only, and besides, its soil,
climate, productions and industries all par
toke nf the character of a Northern State
and in its fifty-six counties there are not
more than six which have colored voters
to any extent. 1t is probable that West
Virginia has no pride in being classed as a
Southern State. 1t certainly cannot feel
on this subject as South Carolina or Georgia,
and in political-territorial divisions it seems
to us it would be better TO rank it as a
Northern State. However this point has
little or nothing TO do with the question of
the rights and advantages of the Govern
mcnt i'll the Harper's Ferry property.

Wilson and Colfax OF COlfsx and Wilson

To the Editor of the National ReDu5iicG1:
SIR admire your manly article this morn
ing proposing Henry Wilson for President and
SCHUYLER Colfax for Vice President on purely
temperance ticket. l think it should be Col
fax for the first and Wilson for the second
place-he being the older soldier-and have
10 doubt If tie matter could reach the Coun-
try in its true aspect it would sweep the can
Vass.
l. Mr.. Colfax, like the iilustrious eX-Prcsi-
dent Andy johnson and Theodore Tilton, needs
rehabilitation" Such a nomination would
give the country the chance Of rehabilitating
him.
.. Mr.. Colfax has Travelled over more ground,
at less expense, than any man in the world,
except, perhaps, Sam Bowles, of the Spring
field Rcpublicap, who once went across the
plains and back again for one dollar and
eleven cents-the dollar for washing and the
eleven cents for corn plasters. Consequently
Mr. Colfax would secure the votes of the
friends of cheap and rapid transportation.
Mr.. Wilson has not Travelled quite as much as
S. c., but he is gaining on him.
$. Mr.. Colfax, like the lamented George
Washington, believed it better to tell eleven
thousand lies than destroy one cherry tree.
This he showed in his examination before
Oakes Ames. And it will command for him
the support of all friends of economy.
4. Mr.. Colfax would be satisfied with two
terms. One term in the Vice Presidency salts
fed him.
5. Mr.. Colfax is Christian statesman. He
never swore in his life, except on the Holy
Scriptures. He never drank spirits. He has
a straight record upon every issue. There is
no record one half as straight since the retire
ment of the statesman who was the first Vice
President under jefferson, and who, like Col
fax, retired from public life at the end Of
one term.
G. Already there are Colfax clubs in Sing
Sing, New York, and in Auburn. Their motto
is Temperance, industry and rehabilitation" !"
They know how it is themselves. Each mem
Der of these clubs takes an obligation not to
drink, or use tobacco, or even read the news
papers. They are for Colfax to a man, and
will vote for him-if their terms of service are
expired.
:. The election of Colfax would be an end
OF CPsarism. 1t might be the advent of Dick
Turpinism. But in a free country much bet
ter Dick Turpin than Cesar.
Yours, for ColfaX and Temperance,
A RErUBLICAN.

If GENERAL SHERMAN had contented
himself, when writing his unfortunate
memoirs, with detailed description of
his "march to the sea" he would have
been much better off. As it is, he claims
TO have originated the idea of cutting the
Confederacy in two by that march, and the
consequence is an avalanche of facts to
prove that the idea originated with General
Grant. It will be remembered that Horace
Greeley, among others, originated the idea
of con to Richmond" but some one else
executed it, and has received all the credit
for the movement This would have been
General Shermans s fate if his vanity had
not overcome his discretion. A letter, a
copy Of which is undoubtedly in Sher-
mans possession, was written by Gen.
eral Grant to General Halleck while
the latter was acting as General-in- chief,
In which General Grant gave in detail his
plans for the coming spring campaign. He
was then at Nashville or Chattanooga, and
proposed to march upon Atlanta, and from
thence through the South to Mobile, where,
with the aid of the navy, he expected to be
able TO establish a new base of supplies no
the Gulf coast. The plan involved the
holding or destruction, as the case might
be, of the main lines of railroad running
north and south through the Confederacy.
In the meantime, however, before the
spring campaign was begun, General Grant
was promoted to be Lieutenant General,
and came East to assume command of all
the armies. Among his first acts as Lieu
tenant General was to send copy of this
letter to General Halleck, describing the
plans referred to, to General Sherman,
with an Endorsement in substance that the
information contained therein would be
sufficient without further orders. This in
dorsement virtually amounted to an order

THE New Orleans Picayune, referring
10 Decoration Day in that city, remarked :
''The Republicans arc making great prep
arations for their memorial day" Here is
an admission that the memory OF the Union
dead is cherished only by the Republican
party. However true this may be, the
Pjcogune is guilty Of the very crime
which it charges against its political oppo-
nent when it gives currency to such senti-
ments. The course it pursucs could not be
better calculated to keep alive the bitter
ness Of the war, or to divide the people
into rebel and anti-rebel political parties

mortal day should de devoted to the dec

THE proceedings of the Ohio Republican
State Convention yesterday are printed
elsewhere The ticket nominated is a good
one, although it is possible that the nominee
for Lieutenant Governor will encounter
some opposition, based upon his somewhat
Variegated record. The platform adopted
embraces everything that could be asked
by straightforward Republicans and honest
citizens. The allusion to President Grant
and the "unwritten law of the Republic
was expected. The convention honored
itself and the State by its complimentary
allusion TO his career as a soldier and states
man. This additional demonstration of the
regard of his party for him as a public
leader will serve to disprove the charges of
the Opposition that his Administration has
fallen into disfavor with the people

In ONE of General Boynton's forthcom-

garding the Sherman Memoirs proof
will be given, it is understood, that the
terms of General Joe Johnstons surren-
der O. to General Sherman at Greensboro
were written by Confederate Postmaster
General Reagan, of Texas. 1t is also un-
derstood that letter is in existence from
Reagan to jeff Davis, which embraces the
opinion that the virtual effect of those terms
would be to re-establish slavery. This is
the view Secretary Stanton held of the

that the projected Atlanta campaign should
BE- supplemented by cutting the COnfede-
racy in two" again by direct march to
tie ca. Subsequent events, including the
necessity of Withdrawing sixty five thou-
sand troops, used in guarding the lines of
the railroad north of Atlanta, induced a
change of programme, and Savannah was
substituted for Mobile as the point of des-
tination, the navy being permitted to cap

from the army. And this was the origin
of tie idea of the march to the sea.
