SENATOR MERRIMON REQUESTED TO
RESIGN.

The Associated Press, with the partisan
ship which invariably charact 2rizes its con-
duct in the Southern States, neglected last
week to forward any information regard
ing the introduction of resolution in the
North Carolina Legislature, cOndemnatory
of United States Senat or Merrimon and in
structing him to resign. We learn from
the Raleigh newspapers that latter some
discussion as to the admissibility of the
resolution, it was ordered to be placed on
"the calendar" This information seems
to indicate possibility that we may hear
from it again when it is reached on the
calendar. In the meantime it is to be
hoped that either the Raleigh newspapers
or the Associated Press agent will give us
the full text of the resolution. 1t is ofsufi-
Gent importance to attract widespread
attention. This man Merrimon stands &C.
cused before his brother Senators of having
charged upon the Republican party of his
State the responsibility of enacting lobby
jobs into laws, which were prepared and
submitted to the State Legislature by his
own hand. He was at that time in the
employ of certain railroad interests as a
paid attorney, and acted as fugleman for
his masters during the entire session of that
Legislature. When it is remembered,
however, that he owes his election to be
United States Senator to foolish and mis-
guided Republicans, and that he has since
then repudiated every promise made to
secure that election to be Senator for all
the people, to be truly conservative, and
to avoid partisanship as far as possible, his
contemporaries will cease to wonder that he
has, in turn, attempted to deceive them by
palming off some of his own disreputable
jobs as the work of others. OF all the
despicable creatures in American politics,
the Southern sham Conservative who gains
Office by chicanery and false promises is to
be the most despised, and those who know
Mr.. Merrimon best, know that he answers
this description in every particular.

THE ELECTION IN CONNECTICUT

The campaign in Connecticut has been
fairly opened. The election will be held
April 8, and in Ithe meantime leading
speakers of both parties are at work giving
the people information. The Democrats
have been wise enough to conceal the
Bourbon tendency of their party to some
extent by Withdrawing from the stump
those eminent Democratic speakers and ex-
Confederate Generals, Messrs. Gordon and
Lamar, who, while working for their party
in New Hampshire, did so much TO procure
its defeat. Although some of the most
notorious copperheads in the country, of
whom Senator Eaton is a fit representative,
vote in Connecticut, the overwhelming
majority of the people are not yet ready to
embrace the red-handed, unrepentant lead
ers of the rebellion as fully fraternized
citizens. General Hawley, acknowledged
to be the most prominent leader on the
Republican side, has demonstrated this re-
peatedly in his previous campaigns, and
while explaining his course regarding the
bill to Protect Electors, has not, in the
present campaign, failed to present the
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-03-23
A Bad-Temperad Man.

rFrom the New York Commercial Advertised
The editor of the New York Times is becom-
ing personal. The other day he denounced
the editor of the Commercial as Capitalized
Irishman." To-day he seems to be in very
bad humor and calls the editor of the World a
"Jeremy Diddler," and charges that he is a
"pillager of friends house, " "a thief" and
adds: ''There is no rascality, no swindle, no
robbery of the public which the World has not
justified and defended" This would be very
severe language, if it was not generally known
that the editor of the Times is common scold
and a common nuisance. His heartless con-
duct in striking his most intimate and devoted
friends, we are afraid, may lead the public to
believe the false stories that he strikes those
that are more dear to him, notwithstanding
the Commercial has pronounced them false,
wicked and scandalous. A man with a tenn
per so bad is to be pitied. Poor fellow, his
sufferings are intolerable.

THE SENATE DEBATE.

The pending debate in the Senate on Sen
general attention, not because the subject
the Louisiana question-is new, but be-
cause the new Senators seem to be allowed
to do most of the talking. 1t has taken a
wide range, and the speakers have assumed
in some instances most unwarranted latl-
tude; but as the question has been worn
threadbare no new ideas have been adj
vanced regarding it. Senator johnson yes
terday disappointed many Of his auditors
who expected that he would be able to
give them something new to think OF, but
aside from revelations of personal char
acter, it must be admitted that his speech
contained but little of interest to the gen.
eral public. There are few if any men in
public life who are so fortunate as the
ex President in the possession OF large
personal following, composed of men who
admire him as an individual, and who yield
to him cordial recognition of his sterling
merits. For this reason his speech was
looked for with more than ordinary inter
est, but we think a perusal of the synopsis
of it, printed elsewhere in this issue, will
Justify our criticism that it contains but
little that is new. OF course, he did not
disappoint those who expected from him
ungraceful illusions to President Grant.
1t is possible that the debate may be
closed to-day, and that the Senate will ad-
journ tonight. The passage of the reso-
luton seems to be foregone conclusion.
Its adoption will set at rest much of the
gossip about difference of opinion between
the Senate and the Administration, and
will show the people that the more truly
conservative and deliberative branch of
the National Legislature is in practical &C.
cord with this pertinent point in the Presi-
dents Southern policy. The people will
then understand that, while the way was
clouded with doubt and uncertainty, and
Congress had failed to give him needed
power, the President, in suppressing the
iBcipient rebellion in New Orleans, pur-
sued the only course left open to an execu-
tive who sincerely desired to serve the in
terest of peace and quiet.

THE CENTENN1AL MUSICAL JUB1LEE

The proposition that the people of the
District shall celebrate the Centennial an
niversary of the nations independence by
a grand musical jubilee continues 10 grow
in favor, although thus far no definite steps
have been taken to assure its success. The
time is so far distant that it is deemed to be
hardly necessary TO do anything more than
discuss it just now. The suggestion that
Paddy" Gilmore should be employed to
direct it is a good one, and coming from
the Sunday Herald is entitled to considera-
ton. A correspondent, however, objects
to it on the ground that Mr.. Gilmore might
too closely initiate his great Boston jubilee.
Another correspondent insists that the
Germans, who delight in Sengerfests,
should take the matter in hand. Still en-
other suggests that Theodore Thomas is
the man we are looking after, and adds
that Clara Louise Kellogg, always a favorite
in Washington, might be induced to lend
her aid. This is all very good so far as it
goes, but it is merely beginning. Let us
hear from others, both professionals and
amateurs. Apropos is the following from
the Sunday Herald!
THE REPUBLICANS suggestion that Wash
ington should have a musical jubilee in 1876
seems to US a good one. We have many ad
vaDtages for such an undertaking, among
which are the possession Of several of the most
fourishing musical organizations in the coun-
try. Our Choral Society, it must be remem-
bered, carried of the first prize at the, recent
New York S8ngerfest. What more suitable
than that they should take the initiative in
inviting their musical brethren to contest
here-a sort of friendly ''return match" as it
were? Such an enterprise, we are sure, would
be supported by our German musical societies,
which are strong, both In talent and numbers.
THE REPUBLICAN calls its scheme Centen-
NAL Musical Jubilee, but the form the enter
prise should take might properly be a subject
| of discussion among its projectors. Whether
Peddy Gilmore should be hired and the Boston
affair initiated and improved upon, or a more
| regular S9ngerfest be undertaken, the main
| result would be the same. We should be ben
| Gifted by renewed interest In musical culture
| by the gathering of a great many strangers in
| Washington, and by good and lively time
| generally. The summer of 1875 would be a
most favorable time for such an event. Con-
| gress will probably be in session until some
| time in midsummer. Then the multitude of
| visitors at the great Philadelphia Exposition,
being within a few hours ride, will not want
to return without seeing the National Capital,
and the proposed jubilee would offer another
| inducement for them all to come to Washing
| ton. By all means let US have the Jubilee
| project thoroughly discussed, and then taken
| up and carried through.

contestant State governments, or any ques-
tions of local politics.
Briefly, this is exactly the positiontakeu
by us on the very night of the outbreak, when
every wire was trembling with excited tele-
grams from riotous New Orleans, and 1t is no
little Vindication of that stand that, after ten
weeks of discussion, the entire Republican
party, as represented in the highest repre-
sentative body in the land, compelled by an
irresistible logic, accepts it as the party plat
form-the first plank Of the platform on which
we are to move forward to victory in 1876.
Truly they were poor prophets, and poorer
leaders, who finched from action in the crisis
of grave emergency and predicted the dsin-
tegration of a party, because of its asserting
the integrity of the nation at all cost and at
all hazards. They little knew the fibre or the
faith of the American people. The logic of
events has now confirmed the instinct of the
loyal masses ard COMPOUNDED the treacherous
counsels of the lukewarm and halfhearted.
On January we thanked God that we had
President who would not finch from accepting
responsibility in behalf of his country. To-day
we thank Him again that we have people
who will stand, although half their self-styled
leaders WaYer and fall back,

THE Gould, Drew and Vanderbilt gold
corner is getting weaker daily. Theil
organ, the Tribune, trembled visibly the
other day when it announced the advent Of
Secretary Bristow in New York, and i'm,
mediately demanded to know if his errand
was sales of gold. Receiving a negative
reply it gained courage, but, nevertheless,
the market weakened, and. something had
to be done. As nothing is as easy as lying,
that was resorted to, and Wall street was
startled with the announcement that the
Treasury exhibits Of gold on hand in coin
were false and fraudulent; that there was no
such amount of coin held in the Treasury
This statement strengthened prices little,
and the gamblers sought means and ways
of hedging, but at last accounts they had
not found any parties weak enough to take
their corner off their hands. 1t is q stag
gering load, and lies will not be able to
sustain it much longer. The tumble is
coming. The Government has the coin,
and the $50, 1000 will come in right
rapidly while gold maintains its present
rates

THE New York Herald and other cap
tious Opposition journals are just now en-
gagged in finding fault with the President
for making a number of recent appoint
ments from the somewhat extensive ranks
of Representatives who were members
of the last House. Mingled with this non
sense we find more nonsensical twaddle
about the abilities Of these appointees.
Now let some of these fault-fnders tell us
something about the precedents in such
matters. From the earliest days Of the
Republic, if we are correctly informed, it
has been the habit to select men of public
experience from the ranks of the supporters
Of the Administration TO fill offices of the
kind alluded to, and no reasonable man
will find fault because President Grant has
deemed it to be proper to continue that habit.
So far as the civil service rules are con-
cerned, if they were yet in full force,
which they are not on account of the fail
ure of Congress to make appropriations for
their support, they would not apply to the
appointment of Messrs. Orth and Maynard.

THAT grey headed old sinner, Charles

black mailer, associate of thieves and dis
reputable people of all kinds, dreams that

advertisements of all kinds, except of his
own infamy, shall be excluded. This is
what we have all along expected. Dana

seemed to promise extraordinary useful

possession of remarkable abilities as a
writer and culture as scholar, but for the

COMPTROLLER Brodhead,

From the Washington Correspondence OF the
Boston Commonwealth
One of the liveliest of the fights in this war
has been that waged by R. Holland Duell for
the Office of Second Comptroller, now held by
DR.. Brodhead, a well-known officer, whose
salary of $4,000 per annum is not an item
which a man of his discernment is likely to
hold in light esteem. Mr.. Duell is New
Yorker, who was in the Thirty-sixth and
Thirty seventh Congresses, as well as in the
Forty-third, and, as a lawyer who has been
District attorney and manipulation of the
Legislature of Albany, 1t is not to be sup
posed that he came to the encounter with any
light ordnance, or out of reach by his strongest
reserves. But DR.. Brodhead, though not bel
hgerent by nature, showed himself not ayerse
to fight q duel under due provocation, and he
is one of the last men to be caught in an un-
fortified position. We have all heard of the
stage-driyer in the Rocky Mountains who goes
around the precipjtous curves on a dead run
with the coach balanced on two wheels, and
yet brings up in due time with entire safety in
spite OF the apparent peril |; and, as political
teamster, the Second Comptroller drives with
q skill not much excelled by the noted whip
who made Horace Greeley's hair stand on end
during his descent of the canon of the Sierra
Nevada. Brodhead is not improperly named,
and his head is as level as broad. He was
brought up in the school of Nat. Greene,
David Henshaw, Ben Hallett and that set, who
run the Democratic party in Massachusetts
when, as John B. Derby was wont to say, it
was the policy to keep it from attaining a
stature that would prove unwieldy. Able,
agreeable, dignifed, smooth as oil, sharp as a
razor, and one eye at least always open for
breakers, the Doctor, on his political box, is
always poised and ready for any possible
right position, smilingly contemplating the
vanishing coat-tails of his reckless and incon-
siderate adversary. The affair has caused
almost as much interest as would contest
for a place in the Cabinet, owing to the promi-
hence of the parties and the reputation for
political skill in fencing which the winner in
this dnellum has long and deserYedly borne

Stand By the President !

lrroln the fnIAoelpnla fress.J
To-day the Senate of The United States is
debating the question whether or not the
country should "stand by the President" in
his recent forts to protect the peace in Lou
isiana and save the land from civil war.
After much discussion the question has shaped
itself down to the single issue of approving or
disappearing the Presidents action in
protecting existing government, and on this
issue the party lines are sharply drawn. The
Democrats denounce, the Republicans support
the action of the Executive in this crisis. Mr..
Anthony's resolution, on which this battle of
party is fought, is worded so as to limit its
effect simply 10 indorsing the act and intent of
the President without committing the Senate
any further in the way of any differences
which might be drawn by such action in favor
Of or against any recognition of either of the
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-03-23

ACCORDING to Mr.. Speaker Blaine,
Charles A Dana's patriotism and his
"honesty push him forward like the I'M
controlled steam-power of the engine. ="
Was it patriotism or honesty that pushed
Dana forward to lift from the forms of the
New York Sun an article entitled the
"Welchers of Wall street" and put in its
place another article assailing President
Grant and his administration The first
article was, perhaps, true-at any rate,
Jim Fisk and others of his kidney were
willing and did respond to matchmaking
demand for money to secure its suppress
sion. The second article was, of course,
untrue, as Dana's extravagant and lying
structures upon the Presidents course
always are. Patriotism" and Honesty, p"
fOrsOOth
