Full returns of the Georgia
election put the majority at 78,-

in which not a single radical

only one was cast, ten with less

republican in the Senate and
seven in both Housee. Thous-

county not radical vote has
been cast in three years. The

are unaccustomed in our city of

ceeded from No. 80 Texas street,
occupied by L. A. Levy, and
stepping in, it was explained to
our satisfaction, and the sensa
tons experienced have scarcely
yet subsidized.
California pears as large as
SMALL watermelons-golden in

fruit ever gets to be. We tried
them-grapes, pine apples, figs,

petite.

omnibus, or a Saratoga trunk
with you, and on your return,
stop at our sanctum and hand
out a few of THEM PEARS.

to bolster up their continually fail.
ing influence in their section. They
have played upon the humane fears
and the ignorance of Northern re
puDlicanS until their wretched and
selfish misgovernment in the South
has brought the national republi-

of defeat. And, after all, they who
have done this are not republicans
in any true sense. They are mere ~
political Adventures, whom the hon
est and real republicans in their
States dislike and fear with all their
hearts.
Whatever efforts the republican
party makes in the South during
the present canvass will inure solely
to the personal advantage of this
class of men. Whatever success
the party may secure down there
by its efforts will be the gain of the
Kelloggs, Packards, Spencers and
Chamberlains. That is now una
voidable. Those people have the
machinery in their hands; they are
the candidates for office, and they
cling to Office with a death grip.

The Gamblers Yield.

1t is gratifying to announce to the public
this morning that our war against the gam
bleIs and their mysterious hackers has been
crowned, at least temporarily, with success.
Every gambling house in Washington was
closed tight last evening, and the click OF
the ivory chip was heard nowhere within the
purlieus of "Rum Row." We are informed
that the men whom we have thus routed
after but two discharges from our Hoe press
assert confidently that the suspension
of their thieving operations is but
temporary; that THE REPUBLIcAN's moral
squirt will shortly cease, and that every
thing will be lovely again in week or ten
days. We can assure the swindlers that they
are in error. They must expect no 'slet upY
from this quarter. The war will be carried
into Africa, and If these infamous Shells"
survive this last blow it will not be
for lack of an efficient and vigorous prosecu-
ton of the campaign on our part. And with
the support of the public, which we unquali-
fiedly possess, we have no fears of the result.
1t must be well understood, however, that the
gamblers are a powerful class. We are not
quite ready, but when we shall fully reveal,
at no distant day, the extent of their ramifea-
tions, the wheels within wheels that form .
part of the intricate machinery of this nefa-
rious business, the dullest mind will then
comprehend how 1t is that gambling has been
carried on SO boldly and defantly. We are
not through with our task by any means.

A Warning to the InsurrectionIsts.

In the "Revised Statutes of the United
States" under the head of "Crimes Against
the Existence ofthe Government" the lawssys:
Every person who incites, sets on foot, assists
or engages in any rebellion or insurrecton against
the authority Of the United States or the laws
thereof, or gives aid or comfortthereto, shall be
punished by Imprisonment not more than ten
years, or by fine of no more than ten thousand
dollars, or by both of such punishments; and shau
moreover be incapable of holding any oftice under
the United States"
We call the attention of the chairman of
the Democratic National Committee to this
law and its provisions. Civil strife and dis
cord can be kindled by such revolutionary
manifestoes as was recently issued from the
Democratic council chambers. It's temper and
import means opposition to the decision con-
stitutionally rendered at the ballot-box. In
other words, 1t means Tilden or armed resist
ance to Hayes. It means open insurrection,
and open insurrection is q crime against the
existence of the Government. The way to
crush this is to nip 1t in the bud. The men
who have power on their side will have peace.
Be patient, for when the budding comes the
nipping will follow quickly.
National Republican., 1876-12-16

EVERY INTELLIGENT man in the country
knows full well that the last pronunciamento
issued by the National Democratic committee
is not supported by the fact, the equity or the
law of the case, and Mr.. Hewitt knows that
no such conclusion will be accepted by the
great Republican party. If, therefore, the
object of these men is to play game of bluff,
to foment civil discord and strife all over the
land; If it be the purpose of the desperate
Bourbon Mortimer to force an issue which
can only be decided by crossing swords, they
may as well understand in the outset that the
Republicans will be prepared for the worst;
that there will be no soft play this time; that
the men who have power on their side will
have peace, and that the disturbers Of the
public tranquility will be dealt with in q
manner to teach them that this country has
yet great and grand mission on the face Of
the earth

AnAmer1can ProtectOrate for Mexico.
The ever-tottering fabric of Mexican
Government is rapidly crumbling away. With
all her bounteous endewments, her delicious
climate, her luxuriant forests and long reaches
Of fertile plains, with a soil Of unsurpassed
fertility and q wealth OF fruit and agricultural
productions, with mines of fabulous and mex
haustible treasure, with wooded dells and
towering mountains, and sylvan lakes, with
all these to bless and make her great, Mexico
is still a wretched and unhappy country.
This condition arises from the instability of
her Government, and the restless and un-
governable temper of her people. From So
nora to Tamaulipas a military banditti rove,
sacking, pillaging, robbing and desolating the
land. Where might be business, thrift and
industry railroads and telegraphs, wooden
mills and iron manufactures, there is nothing
but prostration, Incidence and poverty, dis
cord and bloodshed. What Mexico wants,
and what she must have if she would remain
on the face of the earth as en independent
nation, is a stable Government that will pro-
tect and encourage peace, industry and enter
prise, and make of her, in material wealth
and prosperity, the marvel of the Western
world. With the present temper Of the peo-
pie nothing can be accomplished in this direc-
tion except through the benign influence of
come great and powerful Government, and
there is no nation so happily situated as is
the United States to aid in delivering this un-
happy people from the plundering banditti
which are fleeing her of rich heritage. An
American protectorate for Mexico will sup
press internal discord, establish law and order
and build up the waste places of the country
into prosperous and peaceful State. 1t is the
duty of the American Government to estab-
Hsh this protectorate, and should It perform
that duty, the oppressed and despairing peo-
pie of that distracted country will gladly sub
NIT.
