National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-23

WHILE HOsTILTTIEs were being threat
ened and the war for secession was impend-
ing, the New York Herald advocated seces-
sion. At the same time the New York
Tribune advocated peaceable submission to
the demands of the secessionists for dis
ruption of the Union. Then, as now, they
claimed to represent public feeling in the
North. Then, as now, they lied. Subse-
quently the people of New York and the
North compelled them to acknowledge
themselves to be liars. 1t will not be long
before they will be compelled to make
similar acknowledgment again. In the
meantime the idiots who accept the lies of
these false journals as truths are in posi-
tive danger Of being swept into oblivion
and of having their present positions filled
with wiser and more courageous men. Who
among the present leaders of the Repub-
ican party were leaders at the time we
refer to? None, except those who boldly
grasped the situation and assumed the re-
sponsibility of progressive action. 1t is
true there were leaders who faltered, as
others are faltering now, but they were soon
displaced and the people voluntarily placed
most extraordinary power in the hands of
new men. Thus history is repeating itself

TIVE NFYr SENATE


The election of Mcmillan in Minnesota
completes the membership of the next
United States Senate, excepting in the case
of Pinchback, of Louisiana, where there
is O contest which may be almost equal TO
o vacancy. We think the following gives q
fair and true statement Of the division of
parties in that body:
Straight-out Republicans-HamIln and Nor

nature.Ferry, Conn; Robertson, S. q; Alcorn,
Miss; Hamilton, Texas; Cameron, Wis; Chris
tiancy, Mich; Booth, CAL.
The result of the above shows thirty
eight straight-out Republicans, twenty
eight Democrats and seven of the indie
pendent and doubtful tenor; giving the
straight-out Republicans a clear majority
over all of three. By placing the vacancy
in Louisiana among the doubtful there is
a majority of tWo. Leaving out Louisiana
the straight-out and Independent Republi-
cans combined have majority of seven
teen over the Democracy. This gives the
regular Republicans the power to organize
and control the new Senate without fear or
favor; but the chances are that four of the
seven Independents will go into caucus and
act with the regulars.

than that the South has righteous need TO IN

With her varied climate, soil :and productions,
to say nothing of the adaptation OF her popula-

which II is to the interest Of the whole Union to
unfold; and the obtusity Of our national legisla-
tors hitherto can only be explained by their pro-

no meagre proportion thereof that saw in Morse's
telegraph, the Missouri Compromise, the fugitive
slave law and Kansas and Nebraska Issues only
abstraction and chimeras, and on the threshold OF
its second century our Government is yet in its
chrysaIis state; this, the weakest, most vulner-
able point in It's economy. Legislation Is too
largely special, wanting in that breadth and fore
sight chRracterizing that of Great Britain, whose
political opinion is more finished and shapened;

astute assertion that 1t is harder to make men see

OF II. And this inability to analyze their own

American Congressional constituencies we w0t

nations prosperity depends upon the success of

will come to be dispassionately considered.
The opportune and extraordinarily favorable
circumstances that attend at this Of polti-
cal lite makes the advent Of this project most
suspicious, and the Texas Pacific promises to be
the lever of q steady, peaceful internal reform,
assimiIating the Texas brigand and the New Eng

the man of commerce and the agriculturist, until
from disaffection and turbulence we become o
homogeneous and happy people.

THE DISTRICT.

The House adjourned last night, pend
ing the consideration of the District tax
bill. A number of amendments not ger
name to the subiect-matter of the
bill were offered, evidently with a
view to provide against the GER
tainty that no bill of any kind to remedy
the evils existing in the present form of
government, the votes on which we are
forced to construe as an evidence of IN
friendly feeling toward the District on the
part Of the majority of the members pres
ent. In short, the evident bent of the
majority was to increase taxation, and to
avoid assuming in behalf of the General
Government anything like an equitable
share Of the responsibility and cost Of main
tanning the District government.
A communication from the District Com.
missioners, protesting earnestly and posi-
lively against proposed amendment TO the
bill providing for a postponement Of the
March tax sale until September, was re-
ceived by the chairman Of the Committee
on the District, and placed in the hands Of
Delegate Chapman to be read, but no op-
portunity was offered. 1t will doubtless
be made public in due time

PACIFIC MAIL IN THE SENATE,


Our Senate report shows that the rough

Pacific Mail subsidy business which re-
suited in the passage by the House of an
amendment to the postal appropriation bill
abrogating the China mail contract, is not
TO be repeated or initiated in the upper
House Under the lead of Senator Thur
man the Senate yesterday began discus
sion of the subject, which was not provoked
by the prevalent spirit ofanimosIty against
subsidies in the House, or influenced by a
feeling arising from a scandalous and scan
dal-breeding investigation. On the con-
trary, Mr.. Thurman argued the validity Of
the contract, and, while not attempting to
foreshadow the decision of the Judiciary
Committee, now engaged in investigating
that branch of the question, gave the friends
of the measure warm assurance that the
attention of the committee would not be
diverted from the law of the case by false
notions of popular clamor, or through the
agency of interested New York stock
gamblers. Messrs. Edmunds, Frelinghuy-
sen and Stevenson, of the committee, and
Mr. Morton also made speeches, differing
somewhat in the tenor of their conception
of the matter, but betraYing no unfriendli-
ness to the company. The discussion will
be resumed to-day, but meanwhile the
committee will have made its report,
Whatever that report may be the country
will be satisfied with it for the reason, as
we have said, that it will deserve consider.

THE ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
SOUTH.

The Southern Representatives in Con-
gress have addressed their political follow
ers in that section, imploring them not to
break out. Their predecessors established
a precedent for this issuing of political
orders from Washington. Some of the
States ''shot madly from their spheres" in
obedience to kilograms sent from the Ma
tional Capitol building in 1851 by peace"

there were gentle shepherds "who watched
their fOcks by night, the cotton State SEN
ators and Representatives of that period
were of that class. Their gentle lutes were
heard accompanying sweetest songs Of

And singing with the reaperA"
Ifthere was one thing more than another
that caused aching in their tender breasts
it was the thought that by any possibility
"fraternal blood should be she'd" They
were nothing if not fraternal. Although
this loving disposition Of theirs was soon
changed into frantic hate, which illumined
the skies with the lqrid flames of war for

Now THAT IRWIN, the embezzler, has
admitted his guilt by flight, it is due to the
interests of American commerce and of
justice that the managing director of the
Pacific Mail Company should exert every
effort to bring the fugitive to punishment
by any means known to the law. Irwin
showed monterey in his endeavor to ruin, B"
