The National Republican.

CFrom the Selma (Alabama) National Republican,
Promising that we have no disposition to
make ourselves party to the quarrel ("'tis
very pretty quarrel as it stands,") going on
between the Washington NATIONAL REPUDLI-
CAN and Ex-Governor Bard, of the State Journal,
we feel constrained by sense of gratitude to
say that the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is, in
our Judgment, a sound, orthodox, fearless and
able exponent and advocate of the principles of
the Republican party. 1t would be well for
the party If it had hundreds Of just such papers
as the Washington REPUBLICAN to keep the
North posted as to the outrages committed by
the Ku-Klu dssperadoes on the colored peo-
pie. It is for this manly course that we feel
gratitude to the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN and
that we indite this article. Too. many leading
Republican papers in the North have thought
lessly Joined in with the New York Tribune in
snesring at accounts of Southern outrages, and
by so doing aided the Ku-Klux Democrats of
the South in concentrating their schemes for
seizing power in the South. The NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, has boldly and persistently de-
nounced these outrages, and has shown itself
to be well posted concerning affairs in the
South; consequently we think Ex-Governor
Bard, in moment of evaporation, has done
The REPUBLICAN injustice by questioning its
Republican orthodoxy. The REPUBLICAN
styled Ex-Governor Bard a "stupendous fraud"
which was of course, calculated to irritate the
most placid temper and to provoke q sharp re-
tort, but the orthodoxy of the NATIONAL Re-
PUBLICAN is foreign to the controversy that
has sprung up (much to our regret) between
these Republican editors.
We advise all Republicans in Alabama to

THE INSTRUMENTATION

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: 1t Will be remembered that Judge Brad
ley, ofthe United States Supreme Court, decided
In effect that the enforcement acts of Congress
were unconstitutional and void. The cases so
decided were appealed to the United States
Supreme Court, and were argued last March
before that court. But no decision Is yet rem
dered. Is it not unfortunate for the peace Of
time been reachedl No man can doubt 1t
who has taken any notice of the many political
murders committed by organized bands OF
White Leaguers in Alabama, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and in other Southern States.
That very decision of Judge Bradley has,
beyond doubt, prompted the White League
assassins to murder hundreds, perhaps thou
sands, of tie best Republicans in the South.
1t has perhaps caused the shedding of more
innocent and loyal blood, and inflicted more
real injury, and brought more disgrace upon
the wholecountry than any former decision or
act OF any one man. 1t emboldenedthe White
League assassins to do just what they have
done-to wit, TO murder at will. They have
murdered at will, and will continue it, unless
the United States courts punish them and
make them afraid. They have no fears of the
State courts, because such courts are either
powerless to punish them or they are manipu-
lated and used to screen them and Cypress the
innocent, if the innocent happen to be Repub-
licans. State courts do not punish White
Leaguers in the States named for the murder
of Republicans, because they tgiH not.
In view of the facts, 1t does seem that there
issuch an abandonment Of. protection to human
life as is perfectly unaccountable. Millions of
loyal citizens of this great American Union
have been, and are now, praying increasingly
for that security to life, liberty and property
in the South which they would speedily have
if proper decision was had at once in those
appeal cases. JUSTICE.

IT Is SAID that every head of family in
Vicksburg, Miss, invariably sleeps with q
Winchester rifle, or some other firearm,
under his pillow or near his bed. This
p1ecau ion, they seem to think, is abso-
lutely necessary, because they are in con-
slant fear of an instruction. There is not
one Of them, however, who does not know
that the blacks, if left undisturbed, would
be pcaccable and law-abiding, and conse-
qucniIy that the rowdy element among the
whites is responsible for the condition of
insecurity from which they are suffering

W GIVE sp.ce his morning 10 All im

regarding the condition Of affairs in AIissis-
sippi. Ii will he read with interest; but it
should he understood that the opinions con-
tanned in it cIa2atc from a man who &C
know lodges his opposition to Governor
AmIs, and who seems 10 be inclined TO fol-
low The fortunes of Senator Alcorn. We
do rot hesitate 10 dispute his deductions,
although we admit many Of his facts, and
We cannot see that he has made out very
strong case. The effect of following his
advice would be to place the State in the
control Of the Democrats, Temporarily he
no doubt believes, but permanently, we
think. AS We have said before the way
TO reform the party when it needs reform,
as 1t seems to need 1t in Mississippi, is to do
il within the party lines, and not by giving
aid and comfort to the enemy. 1t will be
seen that the Senator is opposed to calling
out the militia, and in this takes strong
grounds against the position assumed by
the President and Attorney General Pierre
point, both Of whom have advised Cover
nor Ames to exhaust every resource in his
power TO preserve peace and secure the
punishment of criminals

PARsoN BROwNL0w never fails to hit the
nail squarely on the head when he attempts
to characterize a political opponent
Writing of Henry Clay Dean in the Knox
vile Chronicle, he says:
IA special dispatch to the Gazette notes the
arrival of one Henry Clay Dean, at Chilli
Gothic, TO take part in the canvass for Allen
and Cary. He is a representative of the great
'unwashed' wing of the Democratic party
He is literally an unwashed Democrat. His
valuable time is so engrossed that he scarcely
ever finds time to change his linen. The
leaders of the party in Ohio expect him to in
fluence a small class of ignorant people who
regard a dirty shirt and unkempt hair as the
badge of a workirgman. He is fit companion
of Sam Cary. He is a demagogue of the
dirtiest sort, and never fails to gain the con-
tempt of decent men. He is a sweet pink for
the Democratic nosegay, prepared for the de-
location of Buckeye Democracy. 1t is a bless
ing that he did not canvass the State in warm
weather. The odor would have been unbear-
able -

subscribe for the Washington NATIONAL Re-
PUBLICAN, by way of showing they appreciate
its manful efforts to have them protected from
Ku-Klux violence. We have not such hosts of
staunch friends in the North that we can afford
to willfully ALLEVIATE such q paper as the Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN, and we enter our pro-
test against so much of the State Journals
article as impeaches the Republican orthodoxy
of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. We have no
concern with the personalities which the State
Journal INDUCES in toward the editor of the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, but we may be al
lowed to say they are rather inconsistent with
the attitude assumed by Ex-Governor Bard
upon taking charge Of the Journal, viz that
when newspaper INDUCED in personalities
toward him he would not reply in kind, but
treat It with silent contempt. Well, all of us
are liable to let our "angry passions rise"
under provocation, and to act contrary to what
we preach in our quiet mood, and Ex-Governor
Bard cannot be blamed for possessing the in
frmities of human nature. 1t is much to be
regretted that editors will use personalities in
lieu of argument.

a safe custodian Of the earnings or savings
OF those who may place confidence in him.
From what has been said it will be I'M
derstood that the only legitimate use for
coin and its equivalent is that of effecting
exchanges oflabor. All beyond this is the
credits or risks which are used in specula-
tons. The quantity or volume requisite to
effect the exchange of the products of labor
in this country is varied by the activity of
its circulation. 1t is far less per capita now
than it was thirty years ago. Railways
and telegraphs, by the economy of time and
space in the facilitation of exchanges, have
also greatly multiplied the efficiency of
money. Practically, money can be turned
over in trade now twelve times year, in
many branches of industry, where formerly
it could be turned but once. Cash trans
actions are therefore most favorable to the
activity of circulation of money. The labor
of the country should be paid weekly. The
weekly wages of the laboring man are
needed by him TO procure subsistence
for his family. But this amount or a large
proportion of it is at once expended for the
various necessities of life and is not with
drawn from circulation. Our laborers in
the United States may be fairly estimated
at about ten million. Their average wages
do not probably exceed ten dollars per
week While the small proportion of
skilled labor is higher there is great deal
of unskilled and inferior labor that COM
mands less than a dollar per diem. At the
above estimate our weekly pay-rolls would
amount TO one hundred million. This
would aggregate, if paid only once a
month, four hundred million or about
one halt the present volume of the cur
rency in the United States. The other
half-and, in fact, the half necessary for
the payment of wages, which Immediately
returns to the channels of trade-is used in
speculations of various kinds. We all
know that the head of family who labors
for dollar and half a day is obliged to
find the sum of nine dollars week, equal
TO the exchange of his labor into subsistence
for his family. And so it is with those
who receive either higher or lower rates
of wages throughout the country. 1t is,
therefore, clear tliat upon the cash system
and weekly payments our necessities would
be covered with one hundred million circu-
lation kept in constant, active movement,
and with monthly payments four hundred
millions would suffice. Why lit then that
with about eight hundred million of au-
thorized currency aioat we hear the insane
cry for ''more money! 1t is simply be-
cause some broken spectators want to
traffic in the products of the labor of others
upon borrowed capital in the hope of re-
cuperating their fallen fortunes. It's really
surprising that such men as Wendell
Phillips and Gen. Butler should be led
away by the false lights of the initiation
school of finance.

As A MATTER OF COURSE the New York
Times joins in the hue and cry raised over
the testimony of Cheever, the lobbyist in
the bankruptcy case of Clews & Co., and
insists that the matter should be investi.
gated by the next House. The trouble is
that Jennings, the unnaturalized English
man, who edits the Times, has natural
sympathy for the English firm of Barring &
Bros, and corresponding dislike of any
American institution that in any way con-
hicted with the interests ofhis countrymen.
Right here it may be as well to recall the
fact that when Clews & Co. were selected
to be the financial agents of the Govern.
ment the unanimous voice of the press of
this country was in approval of the act, be-
cause it was believed that whatever of profit
or honor that ensued from the appointment

belonged by right to Americans. The
failure of this firm since then has nothing
whatever to do with the wisdom or policy
of the appointment because no one ex-
pectea at the time it was made that such a
misfortune would occur, and if it were not
for the unjust differences made from
Cheever's testimony, no one would new
attempt TO criticise it unfavorably. But
the investigation which the Times asks for
will show that Cheever is pretentious
fraud, and that those who have taken any
stock in his wild statements have simply
made fools or asses of themselves

YESTERDAY, October TO- Was the seventh
anniversary of the declaration of indie
pendcnce by the Cuban Patriots. The
American Revolution which resulted in the
overthrow of British authority in this coun-
try lasted seven years; but did not cost half
as much in blood and treasure as the Cuban
struggle has. There is something in this
coincidence that cannot fail TO attract the
attention Of the American public, and in
crease the natural sympathy which our
people feel TO- their Cuban neighbors.
