Letter from ~ m. g. King.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Feb. ls-A long letter
has been received from Wm. S. King, ad-
dressed to the Legislature, 10 response to res
o!ution requesting him to explain bis conneo-
ton with the Pacific Mail business or resign as
q member elect Of the next Congress. Mr..
King denies the right of the Legislature to n-
quire into his private affairs, to undertake to
censure or to demand his resignation, and de-
uouuces as legislative lie (which epethet be
puts in italics) the assumption that he had
dooe anything wrong. He then adds: "Wbat
did with a large sum of money about the
time of the passage ef the Pacific Mail Subsidy
bill, is q matter which do not propose to dis.
close to the world, except in my own good
time, nor until evidence which am unable to
reach can be secured, to the end that the exact
facts 10 the case can be presented to the pub
llo which will bring to me the fullest and most
complete vindlcatlon against the falsehoods
which you have specified upon your respective
journals. Until that time, which trust ia not
far distant, have only to say that not one
dollar of money received by me, of which so
much has been talked and written, was ever
intended or applied to the Influencing of vote
for the Pacific Mail subsidy, and 20 word or

during this long abd most searching investiga.
tion ever points to any such conclusion, and 60

MARYLAND.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 2, 1875.
To the Editor OF the National Republican:
SIR; am Maryland Democrat, but pro-
pose to cast my vote for Harris for Governor,
provided you keep your mouth out of the
contest. 1t is hard matter for me to cast
my vote for any ticket advocated by TIE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, and think / reflect
the sentiments of great many Democrats.
MARYLAND.
We are very unhappy about this. While
we do not wish to drive away Democratic
votes from the Reform ticket, we have a
strong desire to see 1t supported by full
Republican vote. We are not SO thin
skinned as to prefer to defeat a good cause
rather than have it assisted to success by
olitical opponents. The issues in the
Maryland campaign are local and refer to
the management of State and municipal
affairs. Our acquaintance with Maryland
Reform Democrats does not warrant US in
believing that any considerable number of
them will join our polite and refined cor
respondent in opposing reform simply be-
cause THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN advo-
Gates it. In 1872 General Grant received
sc, 760 votes in Maryland. In 1878 the
Democratic candidate for Comptroller re-
ceiyed 79, 651, which is the highest vote
that party has lately cast. Buf the average
Republican vote is about 0,000 as counted
by Democratic judges, aud the average
Democratic vote, as determined by the
same mathematicians, is a little less than
O,OO0; so that 10000 disaffected Demo-
Gratis voting the Reform ticket, and sup
ported by full Republican vote, would
insure the triumph of Reform.
Now, the question naturally comes in
whether we shall use all our influence in
favor of Reform and do what we can to
obtain the full Republican vote for that
ticket, or whether we shall keep "our
mouth out of the contest" as Maryland"
elegantly expresses it, for the sake of win
ming one Democratic vote for Harris.
Really Maryland" will have to excuse US
if We cannot see our duty in the line of
his cheeky proposal. Hurrah for Har-
ris, Wallis, Wilkins and Reforml

A NUMBER of respectable Republican
newspapers in the North have lately ex-
pressed the opinion that: the Republicans
of Massachusetts made mistake in re.
fusing 10 nominate Charles Francis Adams
as their candidate for Governor. They no
doubt get their cue for this from such
unreliable journals as the New York 1rs-
6une A very brief examination of the
facts would have enabled them to form q
better opinion. Those facts are that the
enemies of the party. including Sam
Bowles and Whitelaw Reid, began the
movement in favor of Adams nomination
for the purpose of destroying the consist
ency of the party and injuring it as it is at
present organized. Mr.. Adams had many
friends, some OF whom-such men as Geo.
F. Hoar, for example-Were entitled to
consideration. But the fact that he stood
third on the list when the balloting began
in the convention shows that he was not
popular with the masses, whose instincts,
when unembaTrassed by preiudices, are
always right. The plotting, intriguing, or
wire-working was all in his favor, and if
it had succeeded the probability would
have been his defeat, as TIL same impulses
which secured the nomination Of Mr..
Rice would have been active at the polls
to rebuke such selfimposed leaders as
Bowles, Wilson and others, who were in
the fore as leading Adams manipulators.

THE NEWS from Cuba that the Spanish
residents of Havana have petitioned to the
Home Government to arrange for cessa-
ton of hostilities with the Insurgents is In
strange contrast with the Associated Press
kilograms heretofore received from the Ever
Faithful Isle. Those dispatches, it should
be understood, have always been manipu-
lated to put the brightest side forward in
behalf of the cause of Spain. They have
consequently been written with the distinct
object in view of showing that the lnsur-
gents have no sympathizers in Havana, and
that the native as we'll as the. foreign-born
Havanese are unanimously opposed to the
freedom of the island. 1t is only few
weeks ago, for example, that we received
dispatch announcing that they had cheer
fully submitted to an additional and ex-
traordinary levy of taxes by the Captain
General for the support of the Government
troops in their campaigns against the Pa
triots Now, however, we are informed
that they are weary of being taxed to main
tain a useless and cruel war. No true
American will receive this news without
feeling of exultation. because it is one more
certain indication of the final success and
independence of the Cuban Republic.

EVIDENTLY the New York World either
has not read President Grants Des Moines
speech or it has not understood its meaning.
1t seems to believe that he has abandoned
his Southern policy, and insinuates that,
having induced Messrs. Logan, Morton and
Blaine to join in the cry Of ''bloody shirt, -
he has deserted them as well as THE Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN. If it will t Ike the
trouble to read that speech carefully it will
discover that he is not "harking back, I"
and that this journal is not "oVerrunning
the SCENT by any means. In short, the
President stands consistently on the plat
form he has always upheld, pledged to sup
port the integrity of the nation, both as re-
CARDS its financial and purely political obi
cations So long as he does this, it will be
the pleasing duty of THE NATIONAL Re-
PUBLICAN to support his Administration.
In this immediate connection we would re-
mind the World that the enforcement act
was passed through both Houses of Con-
gress by strict party vote, and that the
Force bill passed the House, and only failed
in the Senate for want of time, in the same
way, and we add for its information that
no Republican leader can afford to clark
back" from the logical results of the votes
on those measures any more than they
could FROM the repeated pledges of the
party to maintain the nations credit sa-
credly invio'ate.

THE formality of Northern ''anti- Third
Term resolution" is phrase used by US in
allusion to the Massachusetts, Republican
platform, to which the New York World
seems TO take serious objection. We SUBJ
NIT, however, that it is correct. ThePr
ident having formally declined to be renom-
mated, there was no necessity for the adop-
ton of such resolution. But the Repub-
icans of the North have got into the habit
of going through the form of repudiating
the Third Term ghost. There is no harm
in the habit, however, except that its prac-
tice sometimes has the effect to frighten the
Democracy with the reflection it suggests
of the certainty of four years of thorough
execution of President Grants policy.
That his policy will be continued for that
length of time no one who understands the
currents of loyal feeling which control the
organization of the Republican party will
deny. The South will demand it as regards
the purely political obligations of the Gov
eminent, and the World itself must admit
that the East and a great portion of the
North will demand it as regards the finan-
cial question

SMUGGLING AND EVASION,

The New York press is commencing its
periodical attack upon the customs division
of the Treasury Department Instigated
by the tidewaiters, brokers, claim agents,
entry clerks, and associations for the anne
Iteration of the condition Of the importers
and agents of foreign manufacturers, the
Detective press Of the great commercial
emporium of the country appears to delight
in doing all in its power to embarrass the
Treasury in the execution of the customs
laws. One is highly offended at the efforts
of the Department to suppress the fashion
able smuggling which has been proven in
the courts of New York to have been car
ried on to shameful degree by the Euro
pean tourists, who almost invariably return
with very suspicious increase of the nee.
essary luggage which they carried away.
These tourists ramble all over Europe, and
quietly submit to have their passports Uised
and their luggage examined at the line of
every little free city, 'dukedom, principally,
State or country, varying in size from a
small city to some of the counties and States
of our own country, without single muir.

land of the free and the home of the brave"
they are highly indignant if hey are
not permitted at once to jump
upon their native heath with five

selves, their families and cousins forty times
removed, inclusive of such step-neighbors-
iD-law as may have intrusted them with a
few little commissions at Worth's Jouvin s,
ct al in the numerous Partisan bazaals of
fashion. Because General Bristow has de-
termined to put stop to this sort of thing,
and issued stringent and well deined cir
cular of instructions to the officers of Gus
toms to guide them in their duties, he is
denominated baggage smashing Secretary
and denounced in all the forcible and choice
billingsgate to be found in the vocabulary
of New York 'longshoreman or snug
gler. Some good, loyal Democrat has been
obliged to pay duties upon the family ef-
fects which he was designing and hoping
to be able to smuggle, and he Immediately
PUSHES OFF to the World and pours forth
his grievances. This journal, which is al
ways law uato ITSELF trots out several
clauses of real or pretended. acts, whether
living or obsolete is much the same for its
purpose, and with them proceeds to demol.

Treasury as lawyer, and to prove him an

a certificate from one John McLave that as

Now THAT the Republican State CONVEX
ton in Massachusetts, is over and Vice
President Wilson has proved himself to be
an utterly valueless instrument or political
agent, not to say tool, the Independent or
gans are beginning to drop him. The New
York Tribune leads off in this new devel-
opment of the ingratitude of these political
miscrCants. In an article discussing the
present political situation in Massachusetts,,
after describing Charles Francis Adams as
one of the fathers of the Republican party,
it says;
'But Mr.. Wilson, who was in a hurry to go
to the Senate, and various aspirants who vera
in q hurry to 90 to the House of Representa-
tiVes, could think of no better way to kill the
Wing party than TO coquet with the Know
Nothings, and the result was third-rate Gov
crnor who couldn't tell the truth, and a dele
cation in Congress which astonished everybody
The influence of Massachusetts upon national
politics has declined from that fatal hour. The
people of the country lost their respect for the
State which, after a noble record of representa-
ton, could send such ragged platoon of no
bodies to Washington"
A ragged nobody, Ell? We predicted
this before the convention met and now
we shall expect to hear from Mr. Wilson
that the attack upon. him by the New York
organ Of the Liberals is perfectly brutal I"

THE same honest inspiration which
prompts private individual to pay his
debts at their maturity should govern the
nation in the management of its financial
affairs. The political party which denies
this proposition is unworthy of being
trusted, and behind the sophistry with
which it seeks to befog the public mind
in its arguments in favor of postponiug
the day fsettlement some dishonest purpose
certainly exists
