The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1876-07-27


The morning papers OF New York reach
Washington at II noon and lie over in that
city until 1888 at night (nearly twelve
hours) before leaving for Richmond, reach
ing this city twenty-four hours after leaving
New York. Again, the northern mail ar
rives here at 1 p. NJ, while, If it came all
rail, might reach Richmond ut IL A. NJ. ;
and the mail for the North leaves here at
$3.50 P. NJ, while it might leave as late as .
p. NJ, all rail, and make the same connec-
tions for New York, thus giving the oppor-
tunity OF reply to the daily mail.
The mail train from the South reaches
Richmond at 1850 P. NJ, and leaves here at
$50, standing idle on the track two and q
half hours. not only to the great annoyance
OF passengers but to the unnecessary deten-
ton of the mails.
We are assured that schedules can be ar
ranged closely connecting with the New
York and Washington trains, by which
passengers and mails can reach New York
from Richmond four hours sooner than they
do now, and from Wilmington, n. e., and
points south thereof twelve hours sooner, II
the existing lines forming the all-rail route
will run in harmony.
A perverse disregard OF the business in
terests of this city and State has seemed to
govern the management Of the mail lines,
and it is not for want of railroads, but alto
gether because OF the jealousy and rivalry
of the roads between here and Washington
and the subordination OF one OF them to
other interests.
| We respectfully suggest that the remedy
is in your hands; you can take the mails Oh
| lines that Use their power to obstruct rather
than facilitate mail transportation, and to
you alone can we appeal for such mail facil'
tiles rs you have secured to other important
sections OF our common country. We beg
you will make an investigation Of this mat
ter. and correct the great injustice done us.

but late military ordeIs show a
determination to improve on the
former plan. Tie departments
have heen changed so as to place
this State under Sheridan. who
has given proofs that be is merely
the blind, bruta! tool of the
Grant, and General Morrow who
has the misfortune to be a just
and heightened gentleman has
been removed from command of
the troops in this State, and his
position filed by Col. Brooke, on
whom the powers that be seem to
rely to carry out the design of
terrorizing the state. AS the N.
o. Republican praises him he must
necessarily be capable of anything
tyrannical and oppressive, but
confident in the Justice and
strength OF their cause, the con-
s%eFvarlves of Louisiana defy all
enemies, whether they come clad
in a once honorable, but now pros
tituded uniform. or in the more
familiar guise Of thieving carpet
baggers and deluded negroes.

The District J~udgeship.

It will be observed that Judge
Bpattie, in announcing himself Il
candidate tor reelection to the
Office of District Judge, declares
that he does not wish the nOmina
ton Of a "political party or person
al eoterie": in other words he is
III independent candidate. This
desire OF the Judge was respected
by the radical convention in Hou
ma, which cOntented itself with
simply endorsing him; though it
is difficult to say what alternative
they had, as he Is the only man
IN thai party in the District capa
bic Of filing the office. In view of
this fact, the course of Judge
Bpattie is neither more nor less
than Il bid for the vote of some
weak kneed conservatives, aid
coming out MS independent is a
weak salve to the consciences of
some who would shrink from the
idea Of voting for the nominee of
u straight out radical convention;
it. is also something more than
this; it is the the first attempt ut
the dlsintegratiOn of the conserva
tive party here, and the first step
toward the formation of that third
party, or personal following, on
which the Judge missed fire two
years ago. We do not think that
this insiduous attempt to weaken
our array will meet with any sue
cess ; while conceding to Judge
Beattie talent and position, our
citizens cannot forget that he has
identified himself with all that is
inimical to their best interests
AMI exerted himself to organize
and marshal the ranks of our
enemies. Thank heaven, it is not
necessary to so out of our own
party to find talent, learning and
eligibility, and we prefer these
united to answering devotion to
the honest party of Louisiana, aud
hostility to her foes.

The Plot Thickens.

It cannot be doubted that the
Republican Party will make a
desperate fight and hesitate at
no means to carry the next cleo
tiOn, for defeat means humiliation
to them ; all the power of the
Administration will be brought IT,
bear OH those States especially
which, by fraud and trickery have
been made to appear doubtful.
The most significant indication of
this resolve yet displayed is the
late interview between Grant and
Kellogg in which the former pro-
missed to furnish all the troops
necessary to insure a fair election
this tall ; We all remember the
part the soldiers of the best gov.
ernment the world ever saw play
ed in securing a fair election in
1874 when prominent democrats
we're arrested or driven of by
scores in the Red River Parishes
on the eve OF the election f; these
Efforts were not successful then,

The Republican District Con
.S ventiOn.

Last Saturday the parti colored
Republican convention met in
Houma to make nominations for
Senator, District Judge and At
tOrDey; black seemed the winning
color as far as the Senatorial nOmi
nation was concerned, Thomas A.
Cage, the present incumbent, be-
ing chosen by a large majority ;
an effort was made to have the
nomination unanimous, but six
delegates from Assumption re-
fused to alter their votes, thus
leaving George Drury, their man,
to derive what consolation he
could from their devotion. The
whites who took part in this con
vention seem to have been CON-
pletely shelved, aud some of the
supporters of Drury seemed to
feel keenly that the good old days
when the negroes pr0nlest ambi
ton was to obey the behest of the
carpet Dagger, are past. For DIS
trict Judge, the convention en-
dorsed Judge Beattie, who an.
~nounces himself an independent
candidate, ~reserving to the com
mittee the right to fill vacancies
that may occur ON the ticket. No
nomination for District Attorney
was made.
The usual clap-trap aboutnatiOn
al affairs was pleasantly relieved
by a facetious resolution praising
the Administration for "zeal in
feri citing out and Furnishing Oil
cial corruption" As the majority
preserved their gravity at this, it
is supposed that they have not
yet heard of the Investigations.
or, if they have heard, are good
enough republicans to sympathize
with victims in the tolls. Another
suppOsition is that. oppressed
with the heat, the convention
needed something cool /; they Ger
tainly had it in this resolution.

SHERMAN, THE MALIGNANT.-
The occasions for the application
of the ineffable NAL .adjective ma
Hgnant are fortunately few, aud
even the bitterness of the late
civil war failed to provoke it's use
between natural enemies arrayed
in deadly strife for four long and
bloody years. 10 the rule there is,
however, at least one exception.
No one familiar with his record,
both during and since the war,
can fail for one moment to recog
nize the peculiar fitness of the
term when adopted to designate
w. Tecumseh Sherman.
The latest evidence of it's appli
cability to this person is to be
found in the following extract ia.
ken from his speech, recently
delivered at a reunion of the Ar
my of the Potomac, held in the
City of Brotherly Love, land which
reads as follows II am anxious
that perfect peace shall reign
but it there should be any further
dissatisfaction, and q remedy
should be required-(pointing to
q stack of guns)-Mere Msw
The impression which, as is
snnnOsad ha inSiunn1 IN ccpvav
in an indirect way to uuforg,ving
"rebels," was that, in the event OF
their ever again tab ing up arms
against the beneicent govern
ment under whose protection they
now recline in dreamful ease, the
Malignant himself would take the
matter into his dreaded and arm
ed hand and apply the remedy in
