National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-09
The Texas and PACIFIC.

[From the Philadelphia Press.l
The very general favor with which the PROPOSE
tion of this eompaDy-that the Government Of
the United States shall aid the speedy compile
tior of the line of railway between Fort Worth,
Texas, and San Diego, California, by a simple
guarantee of FIVE per cent. interest on bonds to
the amount OF forty thousand dollars per mile
has been received in all sections of the country is
the best possible evidence Of the fairness and
feasibility Of the plan 1t involves no outlay of
Government money, and is so guarded as to leave
no room to believe that any risk will be incurred
by the nation in the future. All existing facts
and reasons, as well all future indications, go
to show that the road, when completed, will be
abundantly able to provide for all its obligations
and every safeguard is provided to protect the
Government against the contingency Of having
to pay any portion OF this interest charge at any
time. The country realizes the necessity of CON-
plotting this railway line, and hence the favor
with which the simple and safe plan now pending
before Congress for its completion is received.
In view of these facts it is somewhat surprising
that a newspaper generally so fair as the New
YORK Times should persistently dissort the
such distortion, should eDdeavOr to make its de-
termination partisan issue. Representatives in
Congress should consider cases OF this kind upon
their merits, unbiased by partisan appeals or de-
nun Citations. 1t is lowering the dignity of great
party to declare that its representatives must Op
pose national improvement or votes will be lost
to it at future elections, and such designations
show an incorrect knowledge of the American
people. To the great majority Of these right is
right, no matter how it may be denounced or dis
tOrted, and in this case, we'll as in all Others
these people expect a due consideration and de-
cision upon its merits, and will be satisfied with
nothing less.
The promoters Of the Texas and Pacific rail-
road have concealed nothing. They have openly
and clearly presented their case and their claims,
and they have cOurted investigation while they
challenged discussion. The response, SO far as
popular sentiment is heard, has been most de-
cided approval of their course, and an indorse-
meDt of their plan. Should that plan succeed,
it will put in active circulation large amount OF
now idle money, and cannot fail, therefore, to
benefit the business Of the country, and it
will insure the speedy completion OF q work
necessary to the Government aud advantageous
to many sections of the Union. There is not
much in such a proposition to call for denuncia-
tiOn from any party, and journals will find it
rather difficult to convince Republicans that
opposition to it is essential TO their future

The True Doctrine of State Rights.

from the Greensboro IN. CO. New North State. J
The Federal Constitution expressly declares
that the United States shall guarantee to every
State In the Union a republican form Of govern.
ment. What Is q republican form Of government
under our federstiVe system? 1t is one where the
people Of q State exercise the rights OF sover-
eighty, in obedience to our established Constitu-
ton and laws, so long as such Constitution and
laws exist, and until repealed or modified by
proper legal method. Who are the people in
whom are vested the sovereignty of the State?
The people, in a legal sense, must be under
stood TO be those who, by the existing consLitu-
tion and laws of the State, are clothed with po-
Htical power, and who, while that instrument
and those laws remain, Will be the sole organ
through which the will Of the body polite can be
rightfully expressed. The citizens OF State
are much bound to respect and obey their
State constitution and laws as they are to submit
to the Constitution and laws Of the United States.
A contrary doctrine is in hostility to and sab
Versive Of republican government Any attempt
State, in violation OF its constitution and laws, is
revolutionary in character, and would call for and
demand direct Intervention on the part of the
Government Of the United states, upheld, II need
be, by the military power Of the Union.
These principles OF republican government are
applicable to all the States of tie Union, are
founded IN common sense and Justice and neces-
sity, and we'll sustained by the courts, and by
statesmen and Jurfsts who have written on the
subject.
Apply these principles to the LouisIans case,

cit Is MORALLY CERTAIN" says the st.
Louis Democrat, eff the situation at the
g South is not greatly changed, by more
"prompt and thorough legislation than we
" can now anticipate, that contested cleo
&c ton of President will occur in 1875.
States at the South will be carried in de-
" fiance of the will of the majority of le-
60 gally qualified voters, and either two sets
" of returns will be made, or there will be
" formal and reasonable protests against
20 the electors returned as chosen. These
I" conflicting votes, cast by two sets of cleo
&c tors in a State, or these protests, declar-
I" ing illegal and void the choice of the
electors returned as elected, will go be-
fore Congress in joint session of the two
I" Houses--if such a session is ever held.
According to the joint rule adopted in
1869, the vote of a State shall not be
counted if either House objects and de-
clares its vote Illegal The Congress
"will, then, be composed of Republican
"Senate and Democratic House, and, the
" rule of 1869 remaining unrepealed, there
might be grave and well-founded objec-
tons raised by the Senate which the
House would refuse to consider. But in
"ioint session the numerical majority of
90 the Democrats in the House will exceed
20 that of the Republicans. in the Senate,
90 and, should the Senate consent to recog-
e nize the joint session as one body, to be
governed by its numerical majority, the
Democrats would repeal the rule of 1859
and refuse to entertain any objection,
however well founded, to the vote of any
g Democratic State"
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-09


WHILE the Opposition enjoys itself with
exulting declarations that Senator Carpen-
ter's defeat is Democratic victory, there
seems to be no reason why Republicans
should feel exceedingly downcast The
Madison (Wis.) State Journal, the leading
Republican paper of the State, while ex-
pressing a regret for the defeat of its can
didate, says: eve shall be much mis-
taken in the character Of Angus Cameron
" if he does not make good Republican
Senator. His record gives us right to
expect this; the fact that he has strongly
urged the election of Mr.. Carpenter since
" the Legislature met, and, as we under
d" stand, has urged his friends to stand by
&c the nominee Of the party, since Mr.. Car
"penter occupied that position, gives us a
d" right to expect that Mr.. Cameron is and
- will be true Republican" So it seems
that Mr. Cameron was ga Carpenter man"
Let our Democratic friends put that in
their pipe and smoke it.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-09

If THE Northern Republicans in the
House were, as a body, one half as anxious
as their Southern contemporaries to secure
Republican victory in 1876, there would
be no halfway work in the action to be
reached regarding affairs in the South. 1t
is true there are few political traitors and
moral towards in the Southern wing Of
the party, but they have been spotted, "
so to speak, and will not be allowed to as
sumo leadership, as their counterparts in
the Northern wing are permitted to do
Bold and comprehensive action is required
now as it was required in 1S60-'61; not
because an immediate dissolution of the
Union is threatened now as then, but be
cause there is war within the Union
against the authority of the Government;
against the rights of large class of our
citizens, and against the very spirit of our
institutions. To meet this emergency we
have President on whom we may rely to
execute the laws of Congress faithfully.
The people understand this thoroughly,
and will therefore hold Congress to no un-
certain responsibility in the premises.

The mixture Of chance and Judgment renders 1t
