A Government which American. pstsst

Some statistics Of the trade between Cuba and
the Atlantic seaports Of the United States may
explain why there are q vast number OF people In
this country who feel very lively interest in the
political affairs Of the island, and anticipate its
future with deep concern. The figures are for
the year 1874, and have Just been made up at
Havana. During the year We bought from Cuba
sugars tobacco and other articles Of export to the
value Of eighty Ave millions Of dollars for which
we paid mostly in American gold. From Havana
alone the exports to this country were OF the
value Of twenty millions OF dollars, Of which
twelve millions were in sugar, and nearly all the
remainder in tobacco. But while we sent this
huge sum Of money TO Cuba, she purchased from
the United States only fifteen million dollars
worth Of goods and products OF all kinds, leaving
a balance Of trade against US of seventy millions
So long as the present anarchy and nisrule con-
tinues on the island there is no prospect of our
side Of the ledger showing any better account,
and for that reason 1t would be fortunate day
for US when any turn of the wheel would restore
peace to Cuba, no matter under what political
auspices, and open up market for the manufac-
tured articles which busy and Industrious popu-
lati0n would need and have. As the situation
now stands, the United States is the best GUS
toner Cuba has, and 1t Is American gold which
is very largely paying for the maintenance of a
Government which Americans detesE, and con
trIbuting TO the support of a war which IL would
be to our eventual interest to have brought to o
speedy termination.

EACH succeeding day develops the wis
dom of the course pursued by the Southern
Repu bliCan members of Congress. 1t is
true that recent events have aided them in
assuming the determined position they now
occupy; but it is also true that, if they had
not assumed such a position. the force of
those results would have been wasted.
With each recurring caucus discussion of
the situation, the necessity that something
shall be done to retain or regain for the
party the one hundred and thirty eight
electoral votes cast by theISouthern States,
becomes more apparent. In fact, the i'm
portance of the Southern wing Of the party,
as an integral part of the whole and
necessary element to success, is being as
serted now for the first time. Heretofore,
since the days of reconstruction, the South
ern Republican members of both Houses
have satisfied themselves with a course
calculated to strengthen the party in the
North, and have not demanded attention
to the pressing political needs Of their own
section. Now that they have taken firm
stand, however, there is q fair prospect
that their demands will be acoeded to.

WE PRINT in another column, this morn
ing, an extract from the BUening Star COM
mending the passage of the Southern Mary
land railroad bill, introduced in the House
yesterday, and take this occasion to cor
daily indorse all that our contemporary has
said on the subject This is a measure the
prscticability and necessity of which is sat-
isfsctorily demonstrated by the reports of
competent engineers and the existing ice
bound condition of river transportation.
Congress evidently expects to collect large
amounts of taxes from the District and in
return therefor it can do no better than to
enable us to pay those taxes by enhancing
the value of District property and devel.
oping every available resource to sustain
and advance our business prosperity. Let
the bill be passed without delay.

No great Republican measure, perhaps not
even the army appropriation bill, can be
carried without a change Of the rules-it
certainly cannot without a suspension of
the rules.
This record should be carefully studied
by every Republican in the country, espe-
cially the oppressed Republicans of the
Southern States

THE senior editor of the Daily Chronicle
and the editor of the Sunday Herald, of
this city. deny the imputation of having re-
ceived any of the Pacific Mail corruption
fund, either while serving the public in an
official capacity or as journalists. We con-
graduate them that they are able to make
this statement, and give them the benefit
Of q wider circulation than they could
otherwise reach, by printing this explana-
ton in our columns. In this connection,
the following, from the managing editor of
the defunct Patriot, will be read with in
terest
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. ., 1876.
To the Editor Of The National Republican:
SIR l observe that Mr. Irwin, in his
testimony before the Ways and Means Com
mittee, makes the statement that he paid
81, 800 to sundry newspapers, in this city, for
editorials and similar services, among them
the Patriot, of which, at that very time, the
undersigned was the managing editor.
If money was paid to the Patriot for its in
fuence, (Which do not believe, 1 certainly
received none of it. cannot recall a single
editorial published in favor of the Pacific Mail
subsidy. But if money was paid, the public
ought to know rho received it; for to state
simply that it was paid to the Patriot, is, to
say the least, somewhat vague. Would it not
be well for the committee to investigate Mr.
Irwin as to who was the recipients Let US
have some light on the subject.
Very respectfully,

THE RECONSTRUCTION SHAM is what
the Louisville Courisr-JouTHal calls it. If
there was less sham loyalty in the South,
the reconstruction of that section would
now be a decided success. But the truth
is, no law passed by Republican Congress
will ever be accepted by the Southern white
mslcontents in good faith, and the sham
which really exists is to be found in their
pretended submission to condition of af-
fairs with which they are really at war;
When the General Government becomes
strong enough to protect the majority of its
citizens in the exercise of their constitu-
tional rights, it will be discovered that. as
we have said, reconstruction is a decided
success; but not till then.

Voting Governmelst Employees.
New York Herald Of Yesterday.
Government employees in Washington who
from time immemorial, have been allowed
to vote in this city without hindrance, seem
to have unusual difficulty in the present
campaign in exercising here the right ol
suffrage. Several cases bringing up the
question of the right of such employees to
vote here have already been before the
courts. In Supreme Court, Chambers, be-
fore Judge Lawrence, yesterday, Michael
Frees, who is employed in the Government
printing establishment in Washington and
who has been in the habit Of coming ON
here every year to register and vote under
the law that man BY entering the govern
mente mploy neither gains or loses resi-
dence, stated, or rather his counsel did for
him, that he had been refused registration,
and mandamus was applied for against the
Registers to compel them to register his
name. 1t was contended in his behalf that
even on general principles man does not
lose his residence here if he went into pri-
vate employment in Washington, not intend
ing to remain there permanently. On behalf
of the Registers i. was urged that their re-
tusal to register was founded on the pro-
visions of the new law, requiring residence
for thirty days previous to the election in
the district to entitle him to register there
To this law, they insist, there is no excep-
ton, and that being subsequent enactment
to the one cited in favor Of the applicant for
registration the old law is necessarily abro-
gated. Judge Lawrence took the papers
saying that he would give an earlyly ision.
