government their regular rates, which
would have made the aggregate cost much
more than THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
charged, and not two thirds less, as the
committee falsely state. Their conclusions
regarding the course of this journal and its
status are so transparent as to deserve no
notice. Its influence for good has been, is
now being and will continue to be felt both
at LONE and abroad, the efforts of the little
clique of disappointed Democratic misers
who run the jackson Association to the
contrary notwithstanding. The goodwill
and the patronage of these gentlemen are
equally worthless to any:enterprise, and
will never be sought by those who know
certainly not by this journal, which
has been opposing them politically for fif-
teen years, and which during that period
has seldom been able to discover anything
about them personally to commend. Not
satisfied with the misstatements spoken OF,
some of the meanest of them took advan-
tage of an opportunity which was offered
to insult the memory and reputation of Col.
Thomas B. Florence. He needs no de-
fender, and the simple publication Of the
disgraceful assaults, while they do no harm
to the respected deceased, show in its true
colors the character Of the men who assume
to run the Democratic party in the District
of Columbia. If the rank and file are salts
fed with such leaders, they are not as hard
to please as they ence were. The public
spirited and progressive members of their
party long ago found themselves compelled
to secede from their organization and set up
for themselves

THE wise men, usually denominated
"The Dem. Jackasses," did US too much
honor at their meeting last night. A
few more such denunciations as were
vouchsafed to US and the late Col. Thomas
B. Florence on that occasion would fully
establish their claim to the cognomen above
mentioned. By reference to their proceed
ings in another column it will be observed
that they have written to Western city to
learn whether our advertising rates ex-
ceeded those of Western Democratic jour-
nails. We submit that st. Louis papers paid
considerably less for composition than the
rates ruling in Washington at that time,
and could reasonably have afforded to ad-
vertise the tax list for less than we could
afford to do the same work here. But the
aninaus of these Dem. Jackasses" is made
manifest by the fact that they have been
prying into our affairs, and writing to all
sorts of people in all sorts of places to see
if they could not find some reason for de-
nouncing US. And this was all the comfort
they obtained. Why THE NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN alonef Why not all the papers
here which have advertised taxesi Simply
because we are most obnoxious to the
"Dem. Jackasses." Well, we feel COM
plimented by this fact. 1t is the strongest
possible Endorsement of our RepubIcanism.
1t is also the best evidence of the black
guardism of the "Dem. Jackasses." We
are not injured by their anathemas one bit.

lfrom the Alhpem1 STATE J0urnAlJ
The Republican states but the truth when IL
says that the Republicans Of AIabama will re-
gret the necessity which deprives them Of the
able and experienced counsels Of Alexander
White. We think we can safely speak for an
overwhelming majority Of Republicans In this
State, In expressing our unqualified regret that
the party Is to be deprived of ofits most hon
ored and trusted leaders. Dol. white is intellect
ually fitted to adorn any position In the Judiciary
ofthe country, and would reflect credit upon the
Government In any station to which he might be
assigned, but we cannot sustain such loss to the
Republican party In Alabama without serious
detriment to Its future. We do not see why sll
our able and influential leaders are picked out
for the adornment Of positions abroad, while the
party is LEFT 70 grope Its way along like . ship
without rudder or compass
We are aware that Col. White has made him
Gems Of our State. They charge him with being
an enemy to the State, and with seeking to retard
what sane man believes that Alexander White Is
the enemy Of Alabamaf What sane man be-
lisves that Col White is opposed 70 the material
Democratic leaders as TO the policy Of rehsbilita
tion and regeneration. That Is all. Every effort Of
his brilliant life has been directed to the glory
and honor OF his State; and while many Of his
accusers have fattened themselves upon the pub
lilo purse, Col. white Is to-day poor and depend
half Of the peopleof Alabama have been unselfish
and unrewarded. His character or reputation are
not tarnished or besmirched with one single dis
reputable act, and his worst enemies can only
allege against him that he is Republican. It IL
true the Democratic leaders fear Ool White, and
attempt to dishonor him by constantly heaping
abuse and denunciation upon him. Abuse is their
fsyorite weapon; but when leveled at such men
as Alexander White is utterly powerless-ss the
waves which dash against the immovable rocks Of
the ocean That they will rejoice to hear Of Col.
Whites probable absence from the State, Is very
true, but we do hope that the Government will
hnd position worthy Of Col. Whites talents
which will not deprive us Of his wisdom and his
counsel.

DIR. RANSOM, who was chosen to be
president of the North Carolina Constitu-
tional Convention yesterday, was elected
ss an Independent Republican by the peo-
pie of Tyrrell county. Exactly how much
honor he expects to realize from this will
depend somewhat upon his future course.
If be repudiates the pledges he made to his
constituents during the canvass, and pro-
ceeds to act with the Democrats, he will
earn lasting and deserved infamy. The
majority of the people of the State have
expressed q determined desire tina: the
constitution shall not be tampered with,
but it is to be feared that this man, single
and alone, has been placed in position by
the Democrats where the temptation to
thwart the will of that majority is, to ssy
the least, very enticing. He can, however,
use the power thus placed in his hands to
do justice to the party TO which he owes
his election to be a delegate, and thereby
disappoint the Democratic schemers.
Will he do it2

THE SOCIAL ADVANTAGES OF WASHING

AS the country has increased in popula-
ton and in wealth, there has grown up In
Washington society q very considerable
number of persons of fortune, whose means
makes them independent Of the ordinary
circumstances that fix the abode Of Others,
and allows them the choice Of their places
of residence. To persons of this class the
advantages of Washington as home are
becoming more and more apparent
every day, and not few Of those thus
favored by fortune have fixed new resi-
dences here, making their home at the cap
ital of the nation. OF course, during the
summer heats such families always seek
the mountains or the seaside but the
winter residence is home to them, and it is
indeed their actual abode for eight months
Of the year.
The inducements Washington offers to
families of this character are so great that
each family which settles here and learns
our advantages by experience, be-
comes the centre around which gather
other families of like tastes, habits and
associations. To every one q city
has multitudinous advantages that attract
all classes, and of course these conveniences
and advantages multiply as the means OF
purchasing them is increased. But there are
many enjoyable features Of social life that
are beyond purchase; that no money can
buy; that require those who would
enjoy them to come first to the
sources of enjoyment. The mountain will
not go to Mahomet SO Mahomet must
come to the mountain. Washington is
unique in the possession of many social
characteristics which are no more to be en-
ioyed elsewhere than is the balmy air OF
Florida to be found in Maine, or the fairy
rainbow of Watkins Glen in Rockville.
Washington is as metropolitan as Paris or
London. Smaller, Of younger growth,
with decided American modes and sur
roundings, and giving, as yet far less oi
some of the enjoyable things of life; yet
In that adaptability to varied tastes, caprices'
and habits, of men that mark city as
distinct from a big town like Baltimore
or an overgrown village like Philadelphia,
Washington proves its claim to rank
among the great centres of civilized life in
the world. Nowhere can the man oi
leisure bring himself into such close prox.
unity to sources of unpurchaseable enjoy.
ment as in this city, and we may expect
year by year that our population will find
continually increasing accessions of people
who will come here for this reason, and
whose large expenditure will add continu,
ally to the business of the city.

GAS the Washington REPUBLICAN assumes
to advise the Republicans of New York not to
say anything about the third-term business in
their convention, the wisest thing said Repub-
hcans can do will be to take precisely the con-
trary course"
So says the Hartford Courdnt;; but il
seems that the Republicans of New York
are not all so blind to the best interests Of
the party as to take precisely the contrary
course" An article which we reproduce

ion of the masses of the party in that State

THE jackson Democratic Association
after a recess of several months, held q
meeting last night with the same old crowd
in attendance, and succeeded in adding a
few names to the roll of membership. By
the full report of the proceedings published
elsewhere it will be seen the gentlemen
have been paying some attention to the
business Of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
As far as inquiring into the matter Of the
charges Cor the publication of the tax-list
is concerned, they had perfect right, both
as citizens and taxpayers. to do SO, but they
have no right, as men claiming to be honest
and conscientious, to make the willful mis-
statement of facts as they have done. The
ST. Louis tax-list referred to cost proper
tienately as much as did the District list,
and the only paper in this city that Mr..
Norris and his associates applied to for In
formation on the subject made reply that
they would and had charged the District

THE moral effect of the Force bill, So
called, as law upon the statute books,
would have prevented the development OF
the Clinton riots, and the authorities would
not have been compelled to execute its pro-
visions to preserve the peace. The mem
ory of the manner in which the Ku- Klux
were punished would have been sufficient
to repress the mob of White League rioters
if they had not known that no law is in ex-
istence under which they may be punished
by the courts of the General Government.
As it is, the absence of such law, together
with the encouragement extended to the
Southern Democracy by the trucking con-
ciliation of dough-faced Northern Republi,
cans, has borne its legitimate fruit.
National Republican., 1875-09-08

IT is to be expected that the "Great
Dailies" and the Opposition press gener-
ally will at once take sides with the white
assailants who are responsible for the origin
of the Clinton riots, and will entirely ignore
the fact that such leaders as L. Q. C..
Lamar have for years been preparing the
way for such occurrences by teaching their
excitable followers that the blacks are in,
capable of exercising the right of suffrage.
National Republican., 1875-09-08

THE letter of "Tupelo," our intelligent
Georgia correspondent, printed elsewhere,
more fully exposes the white Democratic
conspiracy which resulted in the late
s'scare" in that State. Our correspondent
assumes, with good reason, that gloomy
prospect hangs over the future of the South
ern blacks. The remedy of immigration
seems to be the only one open to them; but
what will then become of the idle white
landowners?
National Republican., 1875-09-08

LAMAR AND GORDON are reported as
having made "concilIatory" speeches at
Holly Springs, Miss, last Monday. Lamar,
q few weeks ago, denounced negro suffrage
as misletoe hanging upon the body polite.
Gordon, just before he was elected to the
Senate, declared that the North had been
engaged for generations in educating her
people to destroy slavery, and that the
South should now begin to educate her
nennle TO destroy the North.
National Republican., 1875-09-08

IT is THE moral belief of the ex-slave-
holders of the South that their slave prop
erty was wrongfully wrested from them by
the Government. They, consequently,
Justify themselves in their attempts to rule
the colored people by the assumption that
they are entitled by right to be considered
and to act as their masters. 1t is this as
sumption that sustains them in their efforts
to deprive the blacks of their rights as citi-
zens, and they will continue these efforts
SO long as they can do SO without incurring
the penalties of the law.
National Republican., 1875-09-08

THE murderers of the innocent) so
proven by the courts) "insurgeRts I" in
Georgia are still at large, and no effort is
being made for their apprehension. The
same thing will occur as regards the origi-
nators of the Clinton riots. And in the
face of these facts the GusherS Of the North
attempt to make the people believe that the
Southern Democracy are law abiding.
