National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-09-15

SENATOR JOHN Brown GORDON, OF
Georgia, has returned home from his re-
cent electioneering trip into Mississippi,
and talks of the political prospects in that
State In the following manner:
mississippi has been Republican since the
war, but the people are determined to wrest
the State out of improper hands at last. They
have been apathetic TO great extent for the
last three or four years, because they have
been cowed by the heavy negro majorities
against them. As one of them said to me ::
Eve are SO effectually squelched down here
that we haven't chirped.' They are chipping
now, though, all over the State, and they will
redeem Mississippi. believe 1t to be sbso-
luteIy certain that whenever the white people
Of State make up their minds to carry the
elections they can do it, no matter what the
negro majority is"
He adds to this significant allusion to the
''chirping'' of the Mississippi Democracy a
few words of explanation to show that the
blacks are capable Of being lead by their
former masters into the Democratic party,
and concludes by predicting that L. O. C.
Lamar will be elected to, the Senate. No
doubt his words are prophetic, and will be
proven to be so unless the Democrats are
prevented from carrying the election by
the policy of DISTINGUISHING whole counties
in which they are now operating to pre-
vent q legal and complete registration OF
colored voters. He has not one word to
say, so far as we are advised, in condemns
ton of the riots in Hirds, Warren and
Yazoo and Tallahatchie counties, a fact
which will be generally accepted as proof
of his countenance and support of that
policy of disfranchisement. It is in line
with his demand that non-native voters
who vote the Republican ticket shall be
driven from the State.

a REPUBLICAN Congress imposed the
'tiron-clad" oath as a test upon the mem
bers of the constitutional conventions of the
Southern States at the close of the war. A
Republican Congress passed upon the con-
situations as reconstructed by those conven-
tons before thoss states were readmitted to
the Union. They all provided for equal
suffrage, and Republican administration
stands pledged to support the humblest as
well as the highest citizen of the South in
the exercise of that right 1t vas not in
tended originally that any except loyal men
who could take the test oath referred to
should participate in the reorganization of
the Southern State governments. After
they were recognized, however, a Repub-
hcan Congress removed the disabilities of
the masses of the Southern people with the
understanding that they would one and all
sustain and submit TO the imposition of
equal suffrage. The Southern Democracy
has violated this understanding, and is now
seeking by the most criminal methods to
effectually destroy equal suffrage. Eyi-
IDENTIFY this is exactly the time when the
pledges of a Republican Administration
should be kept iuviolate as the only method
by which the designs Of the Southern De-
mocracy can be circumvented.

Has He ANY Judicious Friends 7

[From the New York Graphic.l
If Mr.. Henry Wilson has any friends they
should interfere to prevent his writing any more
letters. His latest effusion is a whining and
pitiable exhibition of personal weakness, and
awakens a suspicion that he is unconsciously
afflicted with softening of the brain or some
worse disorder of mind. His advice to the
Republicans is not merely puerile, but is fool
ish and absurd. The idea that the Republican
leaders have locked and bolted the party doors
against all outgoers and incomers, and stand
at the windows with arms in hand to shoot
whoever approaches with intent to steal In, is
idiotically preposterous. Their doors are wide
open; they are far more anxious to welcome
back the runsways than the said runa-
ways are to return, and actually weaken
their position by their extreme effort
to conciliate the Liberals. In this
State they have nominated General Merritt on
their State ticket, and in Ohio have given
them conspicuous places in the canvass. So
far as his suggestion respecting reform Is prac-
ticable it has already been acted upon, but
getting the old men Of the party to lead its
affairs and shoulder their clutches and show
how the old battles were won would be suici
dial. They have had their day and done their
Work, and their work cannot be done over
again. The new times have developed new
issues and call for new leaders and another
strategy. Mr.. Wilson is afflicted with ire
pressible garrulity, which Is all the more IN
fortunate from the fact that his office calls for
dignified reticence. 1t is certainly pitiable to
see one who has excellent traits and rendered
good service in other years, clustering and
clucking like poor old hen whose grown-up
chickens no longer need the coddling of her
maternal wings. He ought to be protected
from himself

A CONSTITUTIONAL VIEW OF THE sITUA.
TON IN MISSISSIPPI,

1t cannot be denied that Gov. Ames,
Soutte rn Republican though he may be,
and, therefore, in the estimation of certain
unthinking classes, a 'fcarpet-bagger" or
'fscalawag," is a Governor of State, and
as suchis in legal and constitutional view
entitled to the same degree of consideration
as though he were the elected executive
head of the wealth and intelligence of the
State of Mississippi. His being low. in an
aesthetic point Of view, and his followings
humble, does not diminish his consideration
in the eye Of the law, or affect his status
when tested by the impartial ordinances of
written constitution. Rights anchored
there are as sacred and secure to the hum
BILE as to the loftiest, and within its pale
the weak and the poor find shelter and
protection from persecution and violence
The supremacy Of law for the regulation OF
all and the preservation of all, the restraint
o. the vic 'ent AID support of the law
abiding, the maintenance of rights and
preservation of wrongs constitute its vital
essence. To it the oppressed in every
State may fly, as to "the shadow of great
rock in weary land" To it the GOV.

A Mr. HUGHES, the spokesman OF the
extreme infationists in the Pennsylvania
Democratic convention, made the following
definition Of the worth of q greenback
note:
"The greenbacks were not promises TO pay,
whatever they may profess. They were real
money. A ten-dollar gold piece is a promise
to pay 80, as much as the teu-dollar green
back is. The Government has said to the
holder of the greenback, Il will pay s10.'
How pay it offer my friend ten-dollar
note for debt owe him, and the Lay of the
Government says he shall take it. That is re-
deeming it and fulflls the promise"
In other words, it is the deliberate opin-
ion of the acknowledged leaders of the
Democratic party who afterwards procured
the adoption of the initiation plank in the
State platform, that the greenback issue of
the Government is not debt, and that the
Government is not expected to redeem it.
IfEthis is not reputation, what is its

manual labor at home. They consider it de!
grading. 1t is mental in their eyes. All such
should go to other localities where labor Is
popular and enuobling.
Spotted Tail seems willing to part with his
Dakota home for six millions of dollars. Spot
ted Tail is diplomat. He is q wary states
man. With clear perception he sees that
the tidal wave Of public opinion must eyentu-
ally unseat him from his Dakota throne and
mercilessly drive him to q spot where the
progress of civilization will not be impeded by
the presence of his dusky race, and he
therefore, with cunning shrewdness, places
price upon his beloved heritage. In a vision
OF the future, which hangs about him like q
gloomy shadow, he sees his people-the wo-
men andchildren, aged and decrepid, miserable
and wretched-forced to leave their native
hills for land unknown and strange to them.
In this depressing visionary picture the embers
die upon the hearth. The curling smoke goes
up no more from the deserted wigwam. The
shouts of the children in their sports
on the plains are hushed. A dreary, dreamy
look Of despair fingers upon their faces,
but he hears no complaint, he sees no signs of
obstinacy. They pass on with slow and IT,
different tread. They heed not the busy hustle
Of civilization that is swapping and snarling at
their heels. They gaze once more at their
forsaken cabins. They glance again at the
graves Of their fathers. They take a long,
lingering look at the hills and wales of Dakots,
and then pass silently on. There is a deep
feeling of sadness in their hearts which passes
all speech. Their countenances CLEAN with
an expression, not Of spite or
vengeance, but severe necessity which
stiles both, which smothers utterance
and leaves their actions without aim or
method. It seems as though their wonted
fortitude were enveloped in despair. With
one more look back upon the deserted scene
they hurry on and cross the limit of their Ia
tive domain which can never be recovered by
them. As the king of the Black Hills gazes
upon this visionary scene the solemn and i'm
pressiye truth breaks upon his untutored mind,
and he sees there is but one permanent home
for them which is neither far removed nor
unseen. 1t is the happy hunting grounds be-
yond the western waters. This is why he
sells his heritage.

holding Office as member of the State

says of him:
"There are some lawyers who hold the
strange theory that they can receive fee, as
lawyers, for voting to order, as a member of
a Legislature. Pershing, who never faltered
in voting as the railroads ordered him, is a
lawyer. 1t would be interesting to know what
he thinks of this theory of large part of his
professions! The unbroken record of his votes
would seem to indicate his belief in that pro
fessional' screen"

pleased with the present apparent attitude
of the General Government regarding aE

an exceedingly cautious approval.
