HOME RULE.
Its Application to American Politics.

Its Application to American Politics.
To the Editor Ofthe National Republican:
SIR: The phraseology with which certain
cotemporaneous sheets serve to dupe the
''innocents" is an interesting story to the un-
initiated. How many of the New York
Worlds readers, think you, pause to question
its Interpretation of "Home Rule" the ogre
of American politics, assuming one form and
then another, but essentially the same in vital
purpose. For no matter how much men may
differ as to its precise meaning good or bad,
all must confess it carries with 1t the germ Of
agitation and discord, and from the earliest
dissension in the household of the Union up
through our whole history, till, eliminating in
all the horrors of internal war, our hills and
valleys were strewn with the slain, this same
Home Rule dogma has been the cloud, small
at first, and family perceived, that must inevi-
tably presage storm. Assuredly the States are
now, If ever, in condition to estimate its
value as an agitator, within the Constitution,
to war upon the Constitution, denying the
power TO suppress, the ill-omened star of q
covert, insidious rebellion
In marking the career of Home Rule we in
variably find its advocates were and are expe-
rienced agitators of their respective eras-
some led, doubtless, by an honest conviction
as to the desirabih ty of the ends to be OBJ
tanned and the ultimate success, all with spe-
cifc interest to be secured. In this category
is to be placed the press, or that portion of it
whose province it appears to be to keep alive
in some form or other discomfort and disturb
ance, thus obtaining for themselves the IN:
enviable repute Of arch-agitators. This is the
proud purpose of the Southern Democratic
press especially, and the ideas thus dissent
mated, hot plowshares in the soil of the print
tive Southern mind, soon gather volume and
strength, bearing their own bitter fruit. The
higher, better-informed class, from reasons of
self-interest, make no effort to rectify and ind
better understanding, but rather lend them
selves to the deludiug views.
1t is most deplorable evil that men of char

THE New York World says THE Ma
TIoSAL REPUBLICAN sis now openly ad-
''vocating the reelection of Grant for q
'Third term" This assertion is about as
true as the greater portion of the Worlds
statements regarding the views of political
opponents. The truth is we have never
discussed the Third Term, except as an
abstract question. If President Grant is
renominated, as he may be in response to
the demands of the patriotic people, we
shall rejoice, because we believe he is de-
serving and because we believe his decision
of character may be needed in the trouble
some times with which the country is
threatened. But we have never argued
the Third Term proposition in his behalf,
although we have been urged to do so by
hundreds of devoted Southern Republicans.
Our position is this: lift is proper toelect
and re-eIect Senator, like Benton, of Mis-
souri,, or Sumner, of Massachusetts,, for
example, as recognition of faithful ser
vice, it is also proper to re-elect other Off
Gals, of higheror lower grade, who deserve
the same kind of recognition. Does the

FoRNEY' S Sunday Chronicle thinks the
Republican party, and consequently the
country, would be better off to-day if the
Republican members of the present Con-
gress had ''done more caucusing one year
ago." This is true enough, and in our
opinion the habit Of meeting in caucus
should be continued in the future. Dis
cussions of important questions under such
circumstances are always conducive to
that kind of an understanding which re-
suits in the preservation of party discip-
line. The bill to Protect Electors would
not have passed the House if it had not
been agreed upon in caucus and discussed
under circumstances that prevented the
weakened element of the party from
being frightened by the blatant mouthings
Of the Opposition. In former times,
when the elder Blair was the editor of the
Globe in this city, it was the custom to
read caucus boilers out of the party

Mr.. POLAND, of Vermont, IS accused Of
having used very energetic language to
Gen. Butler in private conversation with
that gentleman. The accusation comes
from the Independent Press, the source
from which he received so many uncompli-
mentary criticisms regarding the so-called
gag law" Of course Gen. Butler feels
very sad; but there is reason to believe he
will survive the catastrophe.

THE Civil Rights bill is about to become
law. 1t will be the occasion of great re-
joicing among our colored citizens. We
admonish them to be calm, considerate and
conservative. The bill is, as we have
said before, piece of legislative sentiment
talism. 1t gives no man any greater privi-
iege than has always been conceded by in
telligent people to those who behave them
selves, and who are entitled to considera-
ton on grounds of personal merit. The
intimation of Mast, the caricaturist that
the daughters OF pro-slavery Democrats
will now be compelled to marry negroes is
without foundation, except in the personal
inclinations of interested parties

Now LET Us have some vigorous work
in behalf of Mr.. Wards Arkansas resolu-
ton. 1t is really stronger measure than
the bill to Protect Electors which has
already passed the House, and is certainly
imperatIvely required by the emergencies
of the case. 1t is, perhaps, impossible that
both Houses will be able to pass upon it;
but some indication to the authorities of
the State and General Governments seems
to be needed regarding the opinions and
desires of the majority party.

WITH DUE REGARD for the feelings of
the gentlemen in the House who so iber-
ally advertised THE NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN last Friday night as the advocate of
extreme opinions and the exponent of rev.
dictionary ideas, we repress a natural and
excusable inclination to boast that our
judgment regarding the sincere belief of
the majority of the Republican party proved
to be more correct than theirs. We are
satisfied, however, that they were forced to
acknowledge the leadership of this journal
in matters involving the vital interests of

were in each case worked out 1t is scarcely
proved as yet that American humor itself is
shallow or unsubstantial because some of its
sources have dried up. The San Francisco
Chronicle is, therefore, hasty in coming to the
conclusion that the time has arrived for an
absolute return of the sweet, genuine and de-
icate humor of ELLA" and Irving; while it
may be much nearer the truth in judging that
some of the self-appointed opponents OF
American humor are rapidly declining--Chi-
