General Grant Condemned bD
Republicans.
The Party HOpelessIy split.
The PA

HARPER's WEEKLY, which has always /
been an advocate of Gen. Grants ad |
ministration, and published many car |
toons of his opponents. now maintains
that the action towards Louisiana and
the South is splitting the party and
charges the split upon Grant and Con-
gress. 1t says:
"The Republican party III this coun-
try is strong by the intelligence and in
dependence OF its members. 1t has a.
fair proportion Of regulars" who look
only for the party label, and swallow all
TINT it covers, but It has very large
and controlling multitude Of supporters
who care nothing for labels, and who are
more patriotic than partisan. Now there
is not a Republican leader in Washing
ton-Secretary, or Senator, on Represen-
tative-who must not have felt when the
news from New Orleans was first pub
hshed that the party, as such, wonld not
Justify or sustain the action Of Governor
Kellogg, but would demand its prompt
disavowal."
In concluding this article it says:
The press may be Supposed to know
and to represent the feeling of the party
at least as fully and accurately as Con
faithfully studied at Washington it will
be seen that the way to split the party"
is to approve General Sherdans unfor-
tunate dispatch, and to justify Governor
Kellogg for ordering the soldiers into
the State House. ..
In another article the same paper says
As mere party tactics the first thing
to do was to assume the truth and de-
clare it, and that was the party condem-
nation of all unconstitutional and hasty
action in Louisiana, whether taken by a
Republican local Executive OF not, and
whether with the approval Of the Ma
tional Administration or not And nov
that enough facts are known, Congress
ought to understand that there is on,
sure way of splitting the party" anC
that is by timid, hesitating, paralytii
policy. Mr.. Schurz said nothing bette
in his speech than that he hoped thu
Republicans would not attempt an,
strained or doubtful Interpretation 0
law in defense of the New Orleans ac
ton. The vital interest of the party
the avoidance OF party split" re
quires that the proceeding Of the Exec
utiv6 OF Louisiana, so far az it has n
clear and simple and unquestionabl
sanction i'll the Constitution, and wheth

Congress as it is by Republicans through
out the country. That so few Republ
cans in New York signed the call for tn
meeting Of protest was not that they di
not feel that a great wrong had bee
done. And Congress should see tha
even if it must choose in this matte
between the President and the party, {
the great mass of. intelligent Republ
cans, it must choose the latter"
1t is of little consequence how actis
the office-holders and self-interested R
publieans may be in defending the inf
nous course of Grant and Sheridan
when it is so clearly apparent that on
half Of the party is convinced that a
error of the most damaging and mi
chievous character has been committe

IT is BY NO MEANS difficult to find in the
columns of the Southern rural press, so to
speak, indications of desire for renewal
Of the State Rights war; but it is safe to pass
them by as mutterings of turbulent under
cuuent in politics, only to be feared as the
active agent Of revolution in the event of
extraordinary encouragement. In the
larger journals published in cities, how
ever, most discreet policy prevails, and
an effort is made to conceal the drift of
this under. current. Gen. Preston's in
fammatory appeals at the Virginia Uni
versity semi-centennial are, therefore, de-
nounced, and Alex. Stephens Independ-
ence Day address commended for its con-
servative tone. The Macon Telegraph and
Messenger is an example of this kind of
journals; but in a recent editorial APPROX
ing Mr.. Stephens address it shows the
cloven foot in the following significant
threat OF renewal of the war:
"That grand fundamental idea of popular
liberty has been terribly obscured, but we hope
not fatally lost in the subsequent struggles of
combinations the States and the peoples there
of to enforce their social, political aud moral
dogmas on the minority. Peace by force, sub
jugation and submission has substituted
government by consent of the governed, and
this peace can endure, on the same principle,
only until neaU points and questions Of difference
shall rise to demand the same method Of compWl-
sion By the SDord, unless we return as gOgerR-
nent and people 10 the ancient landmarks Of
State independence and non-interference in the
local concerns of the sovereignties composing
the confederacy."
Here is an impudent reiteration of the
principles that led to the war, and reas-
sertion of the political belief, the burial of
which was solemnly pledged by the South
when her soldiers laid down their arms and
renewed their oaths of allegiance to the
United States when the Southern States
were readmitted into the Union, and when
the Constitutional amendments were rati-
fed. The "ancient landmarks of State in
dependence: are :revived as guide-posts
for the present, and the sword is talked of
as the arbiter of future differences arising
from question which the public generally
accepts as settled.
National Republican., 1875-07-16

AND NOW, for want of better mate
rial, the Democracy quotes the following
assurance of DR.. Sears, agent of the Pea
body Trust Fund, as proof that the South
is intensely loyal:
81, too, have made tour Of the South, and
l tell you the war is over. The Southern peo-
pie simply ask not to be annoyed by reckless
adVenturers. Treat them right and you win
their confidence. Send no injudicious man
down there, with friction matches. Such a
man may set whole States on fire. For
heavens sake, keep your rash, partisan men
at home"
1t should be understood that DR.. Sears
is himself an unreconstructed rebel. In
fact, he is one of the excitable and infiam-
mable kind that does not require match to
set him ablaze. He is not exactly the man
to cry "for heavens sake, keep your rash,
partisan men at home" His evidence,
however, will be acceptable as proof that a
condition of rebellion exists in the South
which only requires an imaginary provoca-
ton to cause it to break out in open insur-
rection. The idea that an American citi-
zen, no matter how rash or partisan, should
be prevented from visiting any section of
his country for fear of ofrenewing the war is,
to say the least, little strange, when we
learn from such authority that the "War is
over"

AND NOW the New York Tribune comes
out with an unqualified Endorsement of the
Democratic programme to remodel the
constitution of North Carolina. This was
to have been expected. The Tribune,
under its present management, has ever
been ready to aid the Opposition in any of
its schemes, and in the present instance,
without waiting to examine the issues in
volved, has assumed, with instructive ha-
tired of the Republican party-the hatred
of a renegade for his former principles
that the Democrats are in the right. The
truth is, the present constitution is more
complete and satisfactory in its provisions
to meet the requirements of the changed
condition of affairs than any one the Dem
ocrats are likely to frame. The objections
to it are comparatively trivial, and the
gain to be accomplished by their removal
is not Of sufficient value to warrant the
risk that will be incurred by giving the
Democrats a chance to destroy its more
accountable features. The Tribune takes it
for granted that "men of enlarged and
"practical statesmanship, spotless integ-
=" rfty, representatives of all classes Of So
mciety, and whose positions entitle their
+" lsbors to confidence and support . will

the period we have mentioned. We may
confidently assume that the Senate is all
right; but how is it with the Housef Are
our leaders in that body competent 70 breast

fiinching In their support of everlasting
princlplei
Maniiestly, Mr.. Ex-Speaker Blaine. by
force of circumstances, will become the
leader of the Republican side. While the
majority Of his countrymen yield to him
recognition of many of the qualities of
leadership, it must be acknowledged that
others, forming a significant and powerful
element of the Republican party, are in
clined to doubt his consistency. With his
social relations no man of decency will
attempt to interfere seriously. He may
make Tom, Dick and Harry his guests and
receive their hospitalities as often as he
pleases, and so long as he preserves the
proprieties of his position no one will OBJ
ject But if, as it has been suspected
however justly we do not pretend to say
he is in any way engaged in a conspiracy
to lead the party out of its beaten paths for
the doubtful purpose of winning back GER
tain individuals and cliques that have will
fully strayed away from the party folds,
and as willfully attempted to destroy its
organization and the character of some of
its leaders, he may expect that the unani-
nous confidence he might otherwise de-
serve will be withheld from him. On the
contrary, if he remembers the pledges
of the party to support the blacks and
the Unionists of the South in their
efforts to enjoy the dearly-bought benefits
of the war, and if he battles manfully
against the encroachments of the Opposi
ton, no matter in what guise they may
come, whether in the garb of personal
friendship or under the colors of outspoken
enmity, he may find himself on the top
wave of popularity and on the high tide of
success long before December, 1877. In
palmer terms, Mr.. Blaine's opportunity to
make or u3make himself as party leader
ginning to dawn. He has made the mis-
take in times past of yielding to personal
ambitions and jealousies to such an extent
that the party has been injured, its friends
discouraged, and thousands Of its sup
porters left unprotected to the merciless
prescription and murderous designs of their
enemies. 1t will require remarkable
amount of charity to overlook and forgive
these acts; but, as circumstances that are
fortuitous to him have placed him accident
ally in the foreground at time when the
greatest struggle of the party's history will
take place, the eyes of every Republican in
the land will be upon him. If his course
shall justify the hopes his friends entertain
of him, if he shall stand by the Republican
party in its battles against foes of every
description, and if he shall redeem the mis-
takes and almost criminal blunders of the
recent past, he may regain lost confidence
and realize the proudest ambition of his
life. But we are afraid he is too sincerely
welded to strange gods.

The Latest Vioksburg Massacre.

tFrom the Chicago Irter-Oceau.1
The attack of the white murderers was un-
provoked, and the slaughter of unohending
colored men, whose only crime was their cele-
bration of Independence day, was as yillainous
piece OF work as has ever disgrsced the vii
lainous community which permitted it. We
do not say this on the strength of our corre-
spondent's letter alone. A letter to the Gin
cinnati Commercial, paper disposed to treat
such outrages mildly, is equally severe upon
the mob, and characterizes the outbreak as even
more wanton than the massacre Of last Decem-
Der. Perhaps better evidence still is the ac-
count of the affair given in the White League
papers Of Yicksburg, the following from the
Monitor showing what prompted these assassi-
nations: "After Judge Brown concluded his
speech, !" says the Monitor, "Jim Hill, the mu
latto, who Is Secretary of State, made most
ineendiary black-line speech" The account
then continues as follows: -t
BE began By saying that he had not come pre-
pared TO make speech, as he was 80 busy he did
one ought TO say something to-day, ss he under
stood this was the day on which independents was
declsred.n That declaration meant nothing for
the blacks, and never did mean anything for them
until after the surrender OF Lee at Appomsttox.

From this the killing began, and the fright

THE true inspiration of the Southern
malcontents is to be found in the declara-
ton of the Nashville Union and American
that the Southern people will not assume
the part of the Prodigal Son and ask for
giveness. ''If the North has much to for
get and forgive, " it says, $50 has the South. I"
1t must be admitted that on these grounds
no reconciliation can ever be effected.
While both parties may be willing to for
give and forget the horrors of civil strife,
the North will never agree that the South
did not err in bringing on the war. One
side or the other was certainly in the
wrong, for both could not be right, and it
is fair to assume that the side responsible
for the effort to destroy the Government
which both now profess to love and respect
is the guilty one. In short, every profes-
sion of love and regard for the reunited
government of the country now made by
the South is confession of the criminal
character of the attempt to destroy it.
