POLITICAL. cnnKERY

The Democrats of New York, in their
late State convention, cooked up and served
TO their initiation brethren a rich dish Of
hash, Seldom do we meet with parallel
case of serving up political odds and ends
as in this instance. We commend the re-
past to the appetites of the infationists and
repudiationists of the South and the States
of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and "may good
digestion wait on appetite"
The platform adopted by the New York
Democracy, so far as it has any significance,
is made up of stolen planks from that of
the Republicans. 1t hits from the shoulder
on the financial question and puts the eye
of imitation in mourning. This feature of
the case has our hearty approval, except so
far as larceny, insincerity and hypocrisy are
involved, and they seem to cover it as a
mantle. When these are culled from the
melange there is nothing of value, either in
principle or in practice, left. The declara-
ton of principles is a mere tub in which
Tammany proposes to put Governor Tilden
TO sea as a Presidential candidate, and
unless His Excellency is an expert swimmer
he is in great peril.
The selection of candidates, like the plat
form, is made of material stolen from the
Republican ranks, and which can be spared
without serious dctriment to that party.
The Hon. John Bigelow has been a Re-
publican, for all that any one knows, up to
the hour he accepted this nomination, and
may be so still His selection is no doubt
made for the reason that Governor Tilden,
who appears TO have been the nominating
power of the convention, could not find
man within his party that could be trusted
in this position. Mr.. Potter having de-
clined, Lucius Robinson, the candidate for
and shared honors at the hands of that
party. The candidate for State prison in.
spector is Of the same political stamp.
Thus of the seven candidates on the ticket
three are Republicans, and the balance, in
most instances, are obscure and unknown
men in the party or 10 anybody else out
side the localities in which they live.
Ifa stolen platform and such q ticket can
succeed in the State OF New York at this
important crisis, we greatly mistake the in
telligence and patriotism of the people Of
that great State. Very many Democrats,
who do not fancy being driven through a
convention like cattle to the market, are of
opinion that if they are to support Repub-
lican principles and men at the ballot-box,
they may as well do it in the Republican
ranks.

RAPID NAIL COMMUNICATION.

The recent "new departure of the
Postmaster General in the way Of increased
expedition in the transportation of mail
matter is receiving general commentator.
1t is an enterprise of that practical charac-
ter which must of necessity prove success
full. The decrease of time required by the
new system results less from an increase of
the maximum speed of trains than from an
economy of the time formerly consumed in
the frequency and length of stoppages. 1t
is simply division of that labor between
"way',' and through" trains which was
formerly accomplished by a single "ex-
press" mail train.
This new arrangement is demanded alike
by mails and passengers. There is no good
reason, in the present magnitude of travel
and correspondence, why persons destined
TO distant points should be compelled u
stop at all intermediate places, where they
have no business and can derive no pleas
ure. To compel them to do so would be
simply in conformity with the principle of
OBTAINING all mails until full car load had
accumulated. The Inauguration Of the
" fast mails" does not detain or impede
"wsy" mail trains, which continue to per-
form the same service as before, but 1t does
confer immense benefits upon those living
at remote points. The economy OF time
alone is of almost inealHlsble value to
business men. Practically business day
is saved in trip between the various cities
Of the seaboard and those of the Mississippi
valley by these " limited express trains"
What formerly occupied thirty-six hours is
new accomplished in twenty-four, without
increase of the maximum speed or Of the
danger to the lives of the passengers. If
we take the number of passengers that viii
be transported annually by these trains and
estimate the time saved at one day each it
will be found that the economy of time to
the passengers will far exceed all the extra
expenses incurred.
We have said that the danger to life is
not increased by these rapid trains. In ex-
PLANTATION and qualification Of this assertion
It is only necessary to call attention to the
fact that large proportion Of the time Of
ordinary mail trains. and even express
trains, which stop on signal, Is consumedi in
the length Of frequent stops, in getting un-

THE PowKR OF THE sOUIHsRN REPUP-
IIEANR-

The New York Herald complains that the
Southern Republicans in the last Congress
combined with their Northern friends"
to prevent and accomplish certain kinds of
legislation, as their interests at the time
seemed to dictate. The Herald knows
very little Of the inner workings of this
combination, which we admit did exist
because its representatives here last winter
were not of the kind entitled to the recog-
milton or confidence of respectable Repub-
licans. The truth is that it was begun
before the holiday recess, at q caucus of
Southern Republican members, convened
in pursuance of a suggestion made by The
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. AT that caucus
it was determined to subordinate every
thing of political character in the way of
legislation to the acknowledged necessity
for the passage of some law for the protee-
ton of Republican voters in the Southern
States. 1t was agreed that the appropria-
ton bills and other purely Government
measures should be passed without delay
and should not be interfered with but that
the bill to Protect Electors, described by
the Herald as the Force Bill, should be
urged in preference to any other question.
Finally, the matter was brought before a
general caucus of Republican members of
both Houses. Then it was discovered that
such Gushers as General Hawley, Mr..
Speaker Blaine and q few others had made
a combination to prevent the execution of
that determination. This was really the
perniclous combination from which fol-
lowed an the dissatisfaction which has
since then been the occasion of such wide
differences of opinion in the party regard
ing the Southern question. But the result
was that the Southern Republicans sue
ceeded in carrying their points in the House,
and would have succeeded in the Senate if
so much time had not been wasted by the
weak kneed element of the party ia discuss
ing needed change Of the rules They do
not despair in the future, however, and in
the next National Convention will pursue
the same policy. Determined as they are,
to compel the Government and the people
of the North to recognize the villainy of
the Southern Democracy, they will leave
nothing undone that can be done to pledge
the party once more to the protection of
the colored voters of their section. They
will make themselves felt in that body ten
fold more than they were in Congress, and
will see to it that the party is placed once
more in a thoroughly consistent position as
regards its past record and past pledges.
The GusherS and the pinned backs" will
then find it imperative upon them to stand
from under.

We have already declared our belief that
Mr.. Douglass advice was unfortunate, but
perhaps e1cusable under the circumstances,
and it will appear to be more excusable
now to thoughtful people, when such Dem
ocratic authority as the ViHdteGtor charac-
terizes the free cOlored citizens as "pea-

the better it will be for the whites even in
Virginia, in which State, it must be ad-
mitted, there is less molestation of the blacks
than in any Of the reconstructed Common
wealths of the South. The fact that it does
exist shows how far they are from full
appreciation and complete recognition of
the meaning Of the war amendments to the
Constitution.

THE Alabama rcYOlutiODists, now en-
gagged in amending the Constitution of that
State, have done better than we expected
they would as regards the question of the
right of secession; but they have not yet
declared, nor will they, that the right to
secede is a reasonable right, and can only
be asserted as such. They have simply
contented themselves with adeclaration that
from the American Union there can be no
secession Of any State In other words,
they admit that the superior physical force
of the General Government will serve to
repress secession; but they do not squarely
and unqualifedly admit that the right Of a
State to secede was settled adversely by the
war. This manneriof begging the question
may close the eyes of those who are willing
to believe that the Southern Democrats are
thoroughly loyal; but it will not deceive
any one who is thoughtful enough to
scrutinize it closely for the purpose OF
reaching clear understanding of the mo-
tiyes which prompted il.

THE Pennsylvania Republican Associa-
ton was induced to do very foolish thing
last night in the adoption of a resolution
regarding the controversy between the
union and non-union printers. The fact
that many of the non-union printers now
employed by the "down-town" offices in
this city are Pennsylvanians and Republi-
cans seems to have been entirely over
looked. The whole affair was evidently
conducted by men who were either igno-
rant of the facts of the case or were capable
of willfully disappearing them. After
all, it is a matter with which the Associa-
ton has nothing to do, and its action, there
fore, appears to be decidedly meddlesome.

more arises in its strength and efficacy, and
with the stern weapon of justice destroys
the castle Calumny..reared by these preju-
diced men.
The remarkable developments which
were made at the Muskogee fair strikes q
singing blow at the men who attempted to
bring this infamy upon the Indian Bureau.
The union of thirty nations whose tribal
relations have heretofore been discordant
and belligerent for the purpose of vieing
with each other in the arts of peace and the
products of industry, bears witness of such
force and poignancy to the wise and COM
petent administration of Indian affairs as
to completely overshadow and engulf the
petty and tpitifulschsrges of this clicque of
disappointed and scandal generating men.
That two hundred thousand people should
have been elevated from the most AFFECT
depths Of savagery and social woe to
plane of standardization and industry
within the short space Of decade of years
is in fact monument to this beneicent
policy of peace before which the attacks of
the hbeller and perverter of truth pale into
insignificance.
But the time has come when, like all
other sources of error, these selfavenging
soreheads must fade in their conspicuity
and silently pass away TO other and newer
fields of scandal and shame. The days of
this clique are numbered. They have run
their race in this libelous tournament. They
have failed in their wretched and vicious
schemes, and the public will now be graft
fled to have them quietly retire and appear
no more. The scientific gentleman who
has been led into this unrighteous crusade
from personal spite, aided by cunning men,
will 60 back to his fossiliferous remains
with name not only furnished by the
transaction, but with reputation for hon.
esty of purpose, candor and frsnkness
greatly deprecated. The pretentious
Christian gentleman, who is q slave.d dealer
and has repeatedly told untruths in his
letters, will find it extremely difficult to
once more gain the eminence he held for
uprightress and integrity before he entered
this fray. And their followers--the poor,
miserable tools which they have used, and
which have repeatedly used them-they
are at the best OF no earthly consequence
and of no social good. Thus these men
who came before the public with pomposity
and braggadocio pass away, each perform
ing his comical part in the comedy and
wearing the brand of malicious and selfish
man at its close; and when the coming re-
port of the commission is published, and
the people are congratulating the honored
heads of the Indian bureau, let them lose
no time in consigning this band of scheming
soreheads to those shades of oblivion that
are past the limits of earthly resurrection
ists-into the depths of perpetual obscurity.

der full speed again, and then finally in
SLOWING" up for the next station. All can
perceive that the slow train must require
more steam for the purpose of constantly
increasing and retardIng its momentum
than would be necessary if uniform high
rate of speed should be maintained SO long
a. the supply of fuel and water remains
good. 1t is well known that as rule,
railway accidents do not usually occur dur
ing high rates of speed, but are more gen.
orally occasioned by some carelessness in
the starting OF stopping of slow trains or in
switching them on or off from sidings.
The wear and tear of rolling stock is vastly
greater in fast accommodation trains than
in rapid through trains, owing to the con-
tinual jerking and bufing in changing from
high to low rates of speed. Upon good,
double-track roads, therefore, high rates of
speed for long distances must be consid-
cred the safest to passengers.
Ii the foregoing observations are correct,
we are entering a new epoch in the way of
mail and passenger facilities of transit
And we have good reason to anticipate the
best and most economical results from those
"limited express" trains. As their name
signifies, they are restricted to limited
number of cars and passengers. They are
made up of mail, baggage and parlor cars
by day, and by night the parlor cars are
exchanged for ''sleepers." Of course, thi
mode of travelling is somewhat more ex-
pensive than by the ordinary cars. The
increased comforts, conveniences, expedi-
ton are, however, supposed to be more than
an equivalent for the additional expense.
These are some of the benefits accruing to
travellers. Those to be reaped by cor
respondents and the subscribers to the
great journals by the reception of their
mail matter day sooner than formerly
are Of a similar character, but extend to all
classes of the population of the country,
There is a single suggestion that occurs
to US in this regard, which appears to US of
much importance. Would not the public
be much the gamer by another division of
this fast mail business7 Suppose the New
York Central line should take the morning
mails and New York papers for the West,
and that the Pennsylvania line should
change its time for leaving to evening, thus
giving us two fast mails per day from the
Atlantic seaboard to the Lakes and the Mis-
sissippi Valley2 The latter line, serving to
connect New York, Philadelphia, Balti
more and Washington at the East with
Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Louis
vile in the West, is eminently fitted to dis
tribute the large evening letter mail, which
is naturally ready to leave at the close of
the day, bu which by the present arrange
ment goes off by the slow train, or awaits
the Limited express" run of the following
morning. We hope the Post Office Depart
ment will take this suggestion into serious
consideration. 1t will certainly meet a
hearty response from the general public,
which so fully appreciates the main features

TIE Democrats carried only three coun-
ties in Maine If they had carried more,
judging from their exultation over this
small mite, it is reasonable to suppose they
would have gone crazy. Investigation
shows, however, that even that insignif-
cant success was due to the strength taken
from the Republican ranks by the Temper
ance men. In national campaign, when
the contest is narrowed down between the
two great national parties, and the active
sympathies of the liquor dealers for the
Democracy are not aroused by agitation of
the temperance question, different result
is certain to occur
