PAuPERIsN AND CRIME,

It is TO be hoped that the recommends
tons Of Col. Timothy Lubey, in his report
as superintendent Of the Washington asy-
lum, will not only be carefully considered
by the District Commissioners, but that
they will be referred by them TO Congress
with favorable Endorsement. 1t should
be remembered that a community which,
by permission, encourages sale and use of
intoxicating beverages, is in large measure
responsible for the misery, degradation,
want, wee, immortality and crime that re-
suits fl ON their use. While it is true that
their exposure for sale is no excuse for
their excessive consumption or palliation
for the crimes committed under their in
ffuence, because the consumer is free to use
or refuse of his own volition, with full
knowledge Of the consequences Of eXces-
sive indulgence, yet when We consider the
insidious manner by which reason is obfus-
Gated through partial indulgence and de-
throned by immoderate use Teare brought to
consider the defects of our license system.
When, too, we reflect that nine tenths of
our immortality, vice and crime may be at
tributed to the use of alcoholic stimulants,
with all the attendant expenses, we are
impelled to inquire if there is not some
thing radically wrong in our system of per
hitting the indirect cause of crime to
flouish among US without some proportion
ate responsibility attaching in aid of the
LIQUIDATION of these attendant expenses.
Statistics show that nearly all the unfortu-
nate and criminal classes referred to in
Col. Lubey's admirable report attribute
@sheir downfall to the use of stimulants.
Tine inst steps in vice are taken when IN
der the influence of the wine-cup. The
seducer plies his destined victim with wine
before he attempts to debauch her. The
hardened criminal, who seeks the c1rrup-
ton and destruction of the youth, first en-
Hyens bis imagination and heats his pas
sions with the bowl. And 50 each down
ward step toward final ruin is paved with
rim. And for the discriminate and unre-
stricted sale of tasty intnxicanis we are as
a community responsible because We per-
NIT it. We do more. We encourage the
traffic. We countenaBce it by our own
patronage. We fail to frown upon the
practice of drinking. We patronize the
dram-shops prodigauy, We psy them
three or four prices for our drinks because
we are ashamed to buy it Wholesale and
take il home as we do flour or butter. We
study economy in everything else except
the qualification of our appetites and pas
siops. By this very conduct we confess to
the wrong. If we thought alcoholic slim
ulants and nicotine narcotics were useful
and necessary and wholesome we should
prove our consistency by purchasing them
at wholesale and using them freely in our

ABRAM s. HEWITT is very wise. Like
Jack Bunsby, he thinks 'there may be
trouble and there may not" Well, now,
we are glad of this. 1t is so good of
Hewitt to let US know this as Tilden's
chairman, you know. He thinks 'the
people of this country will not submit to
bayonet rule, but he thinks it quite right
for the majority of the people of South
Carolina to submit to minority rife-club
rule. He has no doubt that Hampton was
fairly elected. He cannot see why Edge
field, Laurens, &c, were thrown out, al
though he knows that some of them, with
a VIGOROUSLY large Republican majority,
were returned as having given larger
Democratic majority than there were
voters in the county. Hewitt is obtuse.

THE following is an extract from letter
received yesterday by gentleman of this city
prominent in scientific and legal circles from
one of the foremost merchants of Louisiana,
under date of November 24, 1876: y =
eYou can tell all our folks in Washington that
Louisiana is as strongly Republican as Yer
mont, and that, despite the most outrageous
frauds ever heard of even from Democrats, we
shall carry the State for Hayes and Wheeler.
Fourteen parishes, counted up to las night,
give Hayes and Wheeler Z 300 majority. The
Democrats have about 5000 majority in the
city. If the Returning Board throw out the
five bull-dozed parishes, as they must In JUS
tice, we shall beat them from 5000 to 5000
in the State. If we could have had fair,
free and full vote in Louisiana the Republican
majority would have been fully $4,000, and
with the same Mississippi would have given
40 coo, Ihaye lived in and travelled over these
States for the last ten years, and know this to
be the truth"

A PROGRESSED "Republican" writes sug-
costing that sin view Of the fact that Repuo-
licans are ostracized In the South because Of
their political opinions, and also because
many of the merchants of this city have mani
tested so much eagerness for the removal of
Republicans from Office here, Government
employees form an association for the purpose
of bestowing their patronage upon Republi-
cans" He adds that "it is poor rule which
won't work both ways" Republicans con-
denim ostracism everywhere for political
opinions sake. If they now stultify them
selves by retaliatory policy here, are they
any better than those Democrats in the South
they accused Two wrongs will not make one
right. We protest against the formation of
such an association as "Republican" suggests
as being un-Republican. He can rest as
sured that those merchants who advertise in
the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN are worthy of
his patronage provided they sell as cheaply as
others, and 1t is safe to take it for granted
that they do that very thing.

LAST YEAR there was q great outcry
came up from some portions of California
against the importation Of Chinese labor.
While it was asserted that the labor of this
foreign element was not necessary to the
development of the resources of the Pacific
coast, the greatest stress was laid upon the
obscenity and immortality of the Celestials
who were brought out by companies, the
males as kind of peon or serf and the fe-
males for the immoral purposes of prosti-
tuition. Everybody on the Coast appeared
all at once to be Mortified at the prospect
of an infection of moral leprosy from this
immigration. A committee of Congress
was sent to inquire into the details of the
matter and report remedy. Now, none
of the allegations were half as horrible as
those which we were constantly printing
in our Southern correspondence from Ala
bams, Mississippi, Louisiana and South
Carolina regarding the outrages and i'm
moralities of Southern White Liners and
Rifle Clubs. What was complained of in
California was professional prostitution aud
lewdness practiced by Chinese females.
What was reported from the South was
the assassination of white and black lead
ing Republicans. and the forcible beating,
torturing and ravishing of their bereaved
women. Lewd women, brazenly plying
their vocation on the streets and enticing
unsuspecting youth to their densof pollu-
ton, is bad enough au1 occasion for abund-
ant alarm; bat it cannot compare in devilish
ferocity, to say nothing of immortality, with
the conduct OF the Louisiana White Liners,
who sought the cabin of Pinkston, killed
him with slow torture, slaughtered his in
FAINT like sucking pig, and then shot,
MANNED and. at the pistols mouth, raw
ished his bleeding widow by turns. Great
God! Let US hide our faces in shame!
Let US ease our talk of Chinese bestialityl
Let us 10 longer deride and point at the
polygamous MormonI Let US be silent
about the Bulgarian atrocities of the Bashi-
Bazouksl Let US not shudder at the Gus
ter massacre or any other of the modern
barbarities which have recently stirred
our strongest sympathies and aroused our
warmest indignation until we have found
some way in which to stop our own "ban-
ditti" from the commission, in the name
Of liberty and reform, bloody, fendish
barbaritles, which shock Chrlstendom and
shame our puerility as nation through

WADE HAMPTON and Senator Gordon
emphatically insist that all IS at peace in
Columbia. No doubt of it. That is just
what the President instructed General
Ruger to preserve. And the General had
no instructions to go any further. The
President and Cabinet never designed that
the troops should be used for any other
purpose. There was some misapprehen-
sion of instructions by subordinates, butthis
was rectifed the moment Gen. Ruger was
made aware of it. The alleged interven-
ton of troops at the State house was greatly
magnifed by the Bull-dozing correspond
ents for the purpose of gaining sympathy
atthe North. Aud the kilograms of Hsmp-
ton and Gordon and HeWittkwere all for
the same purpose. They are all part and
parcel of the Bull-dozing tactics.
