:.rOHF To STAY

"The South is here and she has come to
stay. BIN Hi7Ts e,logy q JET. Daeis aI.d
ARderS0nrslJe
If this language might be construed to
mean that Mr.. Hill and those whom lie
is pleased to designate a. ''the South,
had repented of their act of trying to
disnember the nation and that they
were determined henceforth to perform
the role of loyal citizens OF the Republic,
il would be hailed with JOY throughout
the length and bredth of the land. But
his eulogy of the leaders of the rebellion
in the same speech, his defence of the
atrocities Of Andersonville, and his fierce
arraignment of the national administra
ton which throttled secession, precludes
the entertainment of any such idea.
No; Mr. Hill meaEs to say that 1.-THE
South" has returned TO Congress united,
as in ante 6eVum times, ''to teach fanatics
to obey the Constitution. ''The South
is here" Now, let us look for mo-
ment how ''the South" got ''here."
First we will take three districts i'll
Georgia, represented by Democrats who
go to make up ''the South" of whose
presence in the House Mr.. Hill boasts.
We take the figures in each case from
the report of the State Comptroller of
Georgia The Fourth Georgia District
returned for taxation 7,470 colored
''polls, get not a single Republican vote
was returned from the District. The
Seventh District showed 8, 733 colored
.'polls" and only 1877 Republican votes.
The Eighth District showed II, 405 col
ored ''polls" and only IL Republican
votes. The Second and Sixth Districts
both show a preponderance of colored
over white 'polls, yet each was carried
by large Democratic majorities. In view
of these and other notorious facts, it
may well be doubted if there are not
three, at least, of the Georgia Confeder-
ate Congressman who represent minoIi-
ties of their constituents, who are seated
in the House by means of a process thor
oughly oppressive, and designed TO null
lily indirectly the rights guaranteed to
colored Americans, as well as to all
others, under the amended Constitution.
Taking the case of Mississippi and its
Democratic representatives, SO called,
and the vote will show that the Georgia
policy, even more intensified and vigor-
ous, was pursued at the last election.
The following comparative table will
prove this:

WHEREIN THEY BOAST.

Apropos of the elimination from the
House Directory, by Mr.. Morrison, Dem
ocratic leader of the House, of that por
ton of his record which recounts his
services to the Union cause, we are struck
with the unanimity with which the Con-
federate officers in the House blazen
forth their treason. Of the forty-seven
Senators and Representatives now sitting
in the Forty fourth Congress, who served
under the stars and bars, "and attempted
by force of arms to destroy the Union,
all but six state at lenght the fact that
they early entered the Confederate army
as well as the rank they held. Some of
them particularize the service they rem
dered; as, for instance, Representative
Dibrell, of the Third District, Tennessee,
who writes that he ''entered the ConfeG-
crate army as a private, was elected Lieu
tenant Colonel, and was promoted Col
onel and Brigadier- General of cavalry;
was detailed to escort tie ErectGtiUe OFF,
Government after the evacuation Of
Richmond, and did so, from Greensboro,
North Carolina, to Washington, Georgia,
tcltere his command lOGs pdrOted, MGy,
1865" We are told of the treasure that
takes wings, and are advised in the Sa-
cred Book not to lay them where thieves
might have refreshed the public curiosity
by a narration of what became of the
Confederate treasure" under his escort.
Not all of it was captured; some pOr-
tions are reported TO have gone to
smoothing the declining paths of sundry
Confederate leaders.
Here is another illustration of the
"pride of sefvice"so characteristic of the
ex Confederates. Charles J. Faulkner
Virginian, well known in ante belLuH
politics, has been resuscitated, and now
represents the Second District of West
Virginia. This admirably preserved po-
litical fossil occupies more space than
any other man in Congress In telling
what and who he is. A. II. Stephens
fills twenty-three lines, and Faulkner
twenty five. The following delicious
piece of rebel egotism is in point: Mr.
Faulkner states that he was held a pris
oner for some time by the Federal au
thorities '.from an apprehension that he
would unite his fortunes with the South
ern Confederacy," and, further, that
after being exchanged be entered the
Confederate army as a member of Gen
eral Stonewall Jackson's staff, and serced
as hfs chief Of staff until has death, hGr-
ing toritten all the official reports that
bear his signature"
Thus we find that while those Demo
Gratis who sought to destroy the Union
are anxious to make a public record of
the fact, the Democratic leader of the
House seeks to hide from the world his
efforts towards its preservation. Straws
show which way the wind blows. TIE
loyal people of the land will not be likely
to underrate the significance of facts so
marked. They establish more, even,
than bold words would do, the inexpugn-
able subservieney of the Northern 10
the Southern Democracy.

REPUBLICAN
State Convention.
Wednesday, March 80, 1876.

STATE REPUBLICAN CENTRAL
AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Rooms,
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. "a, 1876.
The next Republican State Convention
will be held in the city of Columbus, on
Wednesday, the 29th day of March, 1876.
The Convention will nominate candi-
dates for
Secretary Of State,
Judge Of the Supreme Court,
Comptroller Of the Treasury,
Member Of the Board Of Public Works,
And TDo Electors IF President and
Vice President oftte United States.
1t will also designate four Delegates
and four Alternates to represent the
State in the Republican National Con-
vention to be held in the city of Cincin-
natl on the 14th of June. The delega-
ton from each Congressional District
will also come prepared to announce or
select two delegates and two alternates
to that Convention.
We recommend that the meetings in
the several counties for the selection of
delegates to the State Convention be
held on Saturday, March 18th, 1876, and
that efforts be made to secure a large
attendance at these meetings, so that
the people shall be fairly represented in
the State Convention.
The basis of representation in the Con-
vention will be one delegate for every
four hundred votes cast for General r.
b. Hayes for Governor in 1875, and one
additional delegate for any fraction of
two hundred votes and upwards in each
county.
Under this basis Hancock comfy is
entitled to 6 delegates.
All voters, without regard to past
party affiliations, who desire the success
of the principles of the Republican or
ganization, are cordially invited to join
in electing delegates to this Convention.
BY order of the Committee,
A T. WIKoFF,
Chairman Republican State Ex. Com.
j. G.. DONALDSON. Secretary.

TURKEY and her vassal States &C

TURKEY and her vassal States con-
tinue profoundly agitated by the revolt
in Herzegovina. Despite the Turkish ac-
count, 1t is clear that the recent victor
les near Trebigne were of great strategic
importance, which the Turks stubborn
ly defended last year. The Servians are
ardent for war, and seem likely to
depose Prince Milan because of his
timid policy. The Montenegrins are
likewise excited, and are preparing
actively for Spring-campaign. Amid
all this commotion the Sultan continues
the work of repression, relying evidently
more upon rifles and cannon than on
Count Andrassy's scheme

IT is said that some 200 bills have
already been introduced into the Ma

the Democratic House of Representa-

half are for the reimbursement of rebels
for losses sustained by them during the
war. The sums claimed aggregate over
$50, 900. 900. and yet this same Democrat

and economy IN all branches of the gov

be granted, there remains but a step to
the assumption of the rebel war debt,
and the difference between the majority
Of these claims and the rebel debt is that
which may be supposed to exist between
''Tweedle 6e-dum' and ''Tweedle de-

MR.. RANDALL, of Pennsylvania, voted
eight times for the Salary Grab, argued
for it, drew it, poeksted it. and kept it.
Bear that fact in mind whist the an
nouncement is read that Mr.. Randall has
proposed in the CoInmitte on Appropri-
ations that all the clerical force in all the
Departments shall be reduced one fifth
in numbers; that the salaries of those
retained shall be reduced one tenth, and
that the hours of work shall be increased
by ope third And this is from the Mr.,
Randall who was conspicuously foremost
in the successful effort to increase the
pay of Congressman fifty per cent
without increasing their hours of labor,
and to give the members of the Forty
second Congress five thousand dollars
each more than they had agreed TO serve
for, without theif having done anything
emitting them to extra pay. Retrench
ment is a great thing, but what a figure
