DISCUSSING the prospect of war with
Spain the Charlotte On. c. Observer takes
occasion to remark that 'there are enough
" volunteer military organizations in the
States, composed of men who have seen
service in the Federal and Confederate
g armies, to wipe the standing army of the
United States out of existence, and the
Administration doubtless desires to hatch
Cup foreign war as an excuse to increase
I" the military force to over-awing proper
" tions. Besides, the regular army, as at
present differed, is said to be not as de-
Ct voted to Grant as the ola guard were
" TO Napoleon, and probably could not be
Z" relied upon in an emergency. The new
&c force could be differed and recruited
81 from the loyal clement of this country
a. and the negroes. With an army COM
posed principally of negroes and differed
by such men as Sheridan, Merrill and
Kirk, Grant might attempt to overawe
the American people, but, we opine
there would be several mammoth mig
&c ger killins' before he succeeded" 1t is
such hair Drained, hot-headed and injudi-
Cious declarations as the foregoing that
keep the South in a condition of constant
turmoil. The feverish excitement which
prevails in that section of the country
needs only the most casual allusion to
''nigger killins'' to incite riot and assassi-
nation. And yet these citizens pretend to
be law abiding citizens.

Republican voters were sufficiently inundated
and the ballot boxes so well fixed up as to
give very large Democratic majority.

my party in the United States Senate, but
never used any threats to secure my election.

party and also thirteen Democratic votes,
some of the same thirteen Democrats that
voted for me also voted for General Gordon
when he was a candidate for the seat he now
holds, as the journals of the Georgia Legisla-
ture will show. 1t does seem to me that had
made the threat alleged by General Gordon
that the thirteen Democratic members would
hardly have voted for me. As to superinten-
dent of roads will only say that the appoint
ment was rendered me by the Governor of
Georgia without any solicitation on my part
whatever. l was not anxious to hold the posi-
ton, for soon after l took charge l personally
rendered my resignation to the Governor in
presence of Gov. Benjamin Conley and Judge
J. r. Parrot. 1 was, however, induced to
withdraw it at the earnest request of all three

that did withdraw it.

made by General John B. Gordon, so far as re-

THE editor of Frank LesEis's Illus
trdted Newspaper thinks that President
Grant ''relies too much on aide-de- camp
information. The real difference be-
tween the President and the horde of Dem
ocratic disbelievers, of which this editor is
a fiji representative, resides In the fact that
the President does place implicit reliance
upon the reports of faithful subordinates
both in the civil and military branches of
the public service, while the Democrats
rely wholly upon the lying reports of the
Southern agents of the Associated Press.
The people have learned to Judge between
the two and are now ready and willing to
accept the superior intelligence of the Pres
ident as satisfactory.

SENATOR GORDON,

A Personal Explanation From Foster Blodgett.
Mr.. Morton said It was not verT safe to
make public the names of the Republicans in
the South.
Mr.. Gordon replied that the reports of out
RACES were exaggerated, and said in one in
stance, when he was a candidate for office,
and his opponent was declared to have been
elected, a Republican there asserted that,
unless he was made United States Senator
and the superintendent of roads, he would
show that Gordon defeated his opponent by
six or seven thousand majority; that man was
elected United States Senator and superin-
tendent of roads, too.
Mr.. Morton. Who was that man?
Mr.. Gordon. Foster Blodgett.
Mr.. Morton, resuming, said the Republican
vote in Georgia had fallen of greatly.
NKwBERRY, 8. c., Jan. IS, 1875.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: The above slip cut from a paper sent
me by friend, and in reply to the statements
made by General Gordo desire to say that 1
never at any time or place asserted any such
thing as is imputed to me by General Gordon.
never for one moment have entertained any
such thought. It was my belief at the time
OF the election alluded to by General Gordon,
and since this belief has been confirmed, that,
had the election been fairly conducted, and
the votes honestly counted, General Gordon
would been defeated by over twenty thousand
GO, 0OO) majority, and have so stated more
than Q hundred times. . .. ...
A short time after the result of the election
was known prominent Democrat, and one,
too, who that party has delighted to honor,
told me that he was astonished at the defeat
of General Gordon, and would have wagered
largely on the Generals election. l asked him
why sol he replied that the Republicans had
the voters but the Democrats had the ballot
boxes; and said, in conclusion, that might
set this down as the last Republican majority
in Georgia. My reply was that no number Of
voters could contend against ballot-box stuff
ing. The sequel proved that my Democratic
friend was right, for at the next election the

IT Is UNDERSTOOD on reliable authority
that a strong effort will be made by the
friends in Congress of the Southern Mary
land railroad to engraft an amendment on
one of the great railroad bills now before
Congress, when they are brought before
the House or Senate, for the Government
to guarantee the Southern Maryland rail-
road bonds. As national measure, giving
the Capital of the Nation an outlet to the
deep waters of the Chesapeake bay, and in
the interest of cheap transportation, as an out
let for the grain of the West, we wish the
Southern Maryland railroad success. But
in our opinion it has sufficient merit to sue
coed as an independent measure.

GOVERNOR" GARLAND AND HIS WHITE
LEAGUE INVESTIGATION,

Garland, the usurping Governor of Ar
kansas, has been putting on virtuous airs
He directs the attention of the grand jury
at Little Rock to the card of the Union
soldiers of the State approving the state
ments made by Gen. Sheridan as to the
existence of armed bands throughout the
South. This is very thin piece of dema-
gogery on the part Of Garland. In view
of the fact that in a strong Republican
county where his grand jury sits there is
not a Republican member on it, the pre-
tender can very safely direct his prosecut-
ing attorney to Investigate" They did
attempt the investigation, however, as we
learn, and got more facts concerning out
RACES than they desired. The only differ
ence between the "banditti" in Louisiana
and Arkansas is that in the former
State they are called White Leaguers,
and in the latter are known as
Garland's militia, their major general
commanding having been a Confederate
officer, and, later, leader among the Ark
ansas Ku-Klux. His subordiBates are of
the same stripe. They are pursuing the
Uriah Heep policy just bookkeeping quiet
and looking very humble, and only killing
an occasional "nigger, to keep in prac-
tice.
We observe that the accurate and intel
lectual editor of the New York Tribune,
who testified before the Pacific Mail sub
sidy committee that he conducts his paper
on street rumors," puts in an 'falbeit" in
behalf of Governor" Garland on this sub
ject. There Is no doubt but that this "spe-
cially trained" young man of the Tribune
can tell the public more about Arkansas
than those who have lived there for twenty
years past. He is now working up the
virtuous side of those tried friends and
usurpers, Baxter and Garland.
The special training of the editor of Jay
Gould's paper has thus far failed to dis
cover any wrong, usurpation or other out
rage upon the Union men and colored
people of Arkansas. If he should get q
rumor concerning these things, he might
explain why the leading Republican Off
Gals of that State have been impeached
for supporting Brooks, the lawful and
elected Governor Of the State, and why
Garland's packed jury have been indicting
the same class, and ignoring downright
murders of colored men committed almost
within their presence.

Or THE leading journals of the District,
our evening contemporary, the Star, and
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN are the only
ones that have escaped being smutted by
the Pacific Mail corruption investiga-
ton. This is sad. Perhaps if these
exceptions to the rule had not
been made the STR and THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN might have been induced to
play the part of Independent journals or
Of Democratic journals, or to print daily
edition of last years almanac. As it is, we
are tempted to condOle in a public manner
with our honest and fearless little neighbor
over the fact that our joint influence was
not sought. We believe, however, the
lobbyists knew too well that efforts to OBJ
tain the publication of editorials and sta
tistical paragraphs as advertisements
in our columns would have been
unavailing. We arc satisfied to
rely upon the legitimate income of
our publishing business for a COM
petent support, and we know that the Star
is OF the same mind. As the boy said when
he oyercame the temptation to steal mel
ons, honesty is the best policeman" A
due observance Of the experience of this
Juvenile would have obviated the appear
snce in the offices of the smaller journals
of the stalwart form of Col. Ordway or
some of his deputies. We will not attempt
to moralize, nor are we inclined to phari-
saical selfexaltation in connection with
this matter; but sadly, tearfully and reluc.
family we direct the attention of our read
ers to the full report of Mr.. Twins testi.
moDy, which appears on our first page.
Now, it is pity that Uncle Daniel Drew
is not a Baptist. OF course he would
be of the "close communion" stripe.
His alleged communion with other sec
tarians indicates his free will " incli-

cate an inclination in the direction of
that Democratic monstrosity known as
free trade. But the idea of mixing up
business, religion and politics in one dose
is repulsiYe. Only the strongest-eOated,

THERE is a class of creditors in the Dis
trict that should not be required to take
the new bonds in payment of their claims.
We refer to the persons who have made
contracts with the old government for sup
plies and other matters. An exception
ought to be made, for instance, with those
who have filled contracts for supplying our
schools. These contracts were only given
after the lowest competitive bid had been
made. Congress, after proper representa-
ton has been made, can easily do justice
in this REGARD.
