WHEN Chamberlain by proclamatio
commanded the rebel rifle clubs of South
Carolina to lay down their arms and dis
perse, their leader, Hampton, at once ad
dressed letter to Chief Justice Moses, ask
ing his opinion upon the necessity for such
action. As might have been expected, the
Chief Justicc-feeling chagrined because
Chamberlain would not commission his
SOD, F. ]. Moses, jr., as a judge last win
ter-assured Hampton that the Governors
proclamation was premature, and that
peace and order prevailed everywhere.
Three scurvy characters (Willard, Mackey
and Cooke claiming to be judges, also
rushed into print on the occasion, and tes-
titled to the peace and good order generally
prevailing. The creature Mackey even went
so far as to charge that Chamberlain was
conspiring against the freedom of the ballot.
Now, these men may not be as well known
in the North as they are in the South.
For the benefit Of our readers we will state
that the Chief Justice, F. ]. Moses, ST., has
long been known as one Of the most cor
rupt men in South Carolina, and has more
than once stained his ermiBs by accepting
bribes. Willard has 30 demeaned himself
since he took up his abode at Columbia as
not to merit or receive the countensnce of
gentlemen, while Mackey and Cooke are
known to have been ever the most plant
tools of the corrupt Moses family. Mickey
has been detected in several questionable
transactions, while no man who knows
Cooke would trust him with ten-dollar
note. These quondam judges are fit tools
10 subserve the purposes of Wade Hamp-
ton. STEPPED to their eyelids in iniquity
and fraud, they are peculiarly adapted to
the work of Democratic reforming" We
congratulate the South Carolina Republi-
cans upon the fact that these judges, to-
gether with the fellow ]. G. Thompson,
late of the Union Herald, have declared
for Hampton and reform" They will
now cease dealing blows at the Republican
party, which their past recognition by Re-
publicans has enabled them to do. Hamp-
ton is more than welcome to all such
cattle

In ACCORDANCE with our usual custom,
we have perfected arrangements for receiv-
ing full and accurate returns Of the cleo
lions which are to occur to-day, and they
will be displayed from the NATIONAL Re-
PUBLICAN building this evening for the
accommodation of the public by Professor
Gardner, with his superior stereoptlcan ap-
paratus. 1t is confidently expected that
the returns will be of such character as to
reassure all doubling Republicans. Those
who remember the display at this Office four
years ago can appreciate the convenience
that will be afforded tonight by availing
ourselves of all the improvements which
science and art have developed during the
time which has interviewed since the last
Presidential election. The display will be-
gin with the earliest returns received, about
8 o'clock, and continue till midnight

THE condition Of affairs in Cuba is really
slarmiDg. Martinez Campos, who has been
designated to succeed Jovellar as Captain
General, is the most successful Of Spain's
living generals, and the fact that he has
been sent to this new field of duty is plain
proof that the Madrid Government has
reason to be exceedingly anxious regarding
the encroachments of the Patriots. The
prominence of Campos in his country is
similar to that of General Sherman in the
United States, and his detail to command
the forces engaged in subjugating the So
called handful of Cuban insurgents could
only find parallel in this country if Gen.
eral Sherman should be sent to relieve
General Crock. The capture and destruc-
ton of Las Tunss, the other day, was a
Patriot victory of no mean significance.
1t plainly indicates disafection among the
Spanish forces, and, as plainly, superior or
gaDization among the Patriots. 1t should
be understood in this connection that the
latter do not now receive supplies OF any
description from the United States. Their
superior organization would consequently
be matter of wonder if 1t were not for a
suspicion which exists that large numbers
of the Havsnese themselves, including ma
tives and Spanish-born, are in deep sym
pathy with the Patriots. Meanwhile we
continue to receive braggadocio dispatches
about the number of troops shipped from
Spain to Cuba-sixteen thousand, twenty
thousand, &C., &C. But any man who
knows anything of the cost of that kind OF
transportation must know that to ship such
a large number of troops such distance
would cost millions of dollars. and Spain is
practically bankrupt. At any rate, she is
unable to pay the troops promptly that are
already on the island. We repeat, then,
that the condition of affairs in Cuba is
alarmipe-to Spain.

A FEW years ago the NATIONAL RE
PUBLICAN warned the people of the North
that the South Carolina rebel Democrats
were arming themselves with the latest i'm
proved rifles and recognizing the shat
tered battalions of the Confederate armies.
at that time our warning was met with
derision and with cries of ''bloody-shirt, "
Southern outrage organ" &c. Subss-
quently, when Gov. Chamberlain began
his tempOriziug course with the Opposi-
ton, we admonished him to halt before it
was too late. Now Chamberlain, the en-
tire North, even including the New York
Tribune, recognize the truth of our asser-
fions

WE MAY look for full exhibition of
plantation manDers when Congress assem-
bles. The ex- Cdnfederates will be fresh
from defeat, and will vent their spleen
upon Republicans generally. Singleton,
Whitthorne, Tucker, Lamar, Hill and the
entire rebel crew will vie with each other
in reasonable utterances. Hill will give
Us few more of his SMILES, and Tucker
will again try to prove that this is not
nation. Verify, may the denizens of the
District expect racy time when the rebel
House convenes.

BEN HILL writes to friend in this city
to state that he will be unmuzzled when Con-
gress again convenes. Whether his friend
Tilden is elected President or not he expects
to deliver himself of his ''true inwardness"
upon many matters which the muzzling
process of Sdmmies Cox and Randall pre-
vented last session. We congratulate Ben
upon the fact that he can air his eloquerce
next winter without the annoying twitch
at his coat-talls which he experienced for
months. Ben was mighty with his muzzle
on, but he will be whole team with it re-
moved

IT IS to be hoped that the Republicans
Of Indiana and Ohio will be on the alert
to-day and promptly arrest the hoodlums
and plug -uglies of Baltimore and other
Democratic strongholds who go into those
States to vote for "Tilden and reform"
Some of the Baltimore villains who went
to sttend the rebel "Boys in Blue" conven-
ton at Indianapolis, and who will try to
"repeat" today, are fit subjects for any
thing short of Judge Lynch, and we trust
that they may be well taken care of by
those interested in the purity of the ballot.

IT is PAINFUL to reflect upon the happy
time the rebels of the District of Columbia
would have with Tilden in the White
House and JEFF Davis in charge of the War
portfolio; how the men who served the
Union in its bloody trials would have cause
to hang their heads and retire into hiding
places; how faithful service to the Confed-
eacy would be made test for preiermen:

If SUCH men as Hampton, Butler, Perry,
Gary and others of South Carolins, who
have been liberally educated, can syste-

zens because of their Republicanism and
the color OF their skins, what msy be ex-
pected of the ignorant masses who never
knew the school house and have always

!. To those Northern persons who have looked
upon the many well-authenticated reports of
outrsges and murders in the South as mere
products Of the ''outrage mill, J" manufactured
for political purposes, we commend perusal
of the address of Governor Chamberlain and
the statement of United States District Attor-
ney Corbin; the one the chief Executive of the
State, who but q short time since was so
loudly praised by the Democratic party for his
conservative course, and even spoken of as
their candidate for Governor, and the other an
officer of the General Government, occupying
a responsible position, and maintaining pro-
fessional character that would be destroyed
by evidence of falsiication in regard TO the
subject matter Of his report. Coming on top
of the mass Of testimony that has already
been presented, none but those who will not
be convinced will fail to be satisfied that
reign of fterrorIand an era of crime and blood
shed rest upon what might otherwise be one of
the fairest sections of our country, and all good
citizens will rejoice to see effectual means
adopted to protect every person in the peace
full enjoyment of "life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness"

One Andrew Gibney, former laborer at the
Treasury Department, and promoted to assist
ant superintendent of the Treasury building,
from which position he was removed for ir-
regular practices, seeks to court Democratic
favor by initiating Whitley in the manufac-
ture Of statements against those who fostered
him until his baser nature was found out.
He publishes q statement to the effect that
when Secretary of the Treasury, Mr..
Boutwell,, had sent to his house certain office
furniture belonging to the Government, and
for which he (Gibney) took q receipt. The
character of the furniture shows that It was
such as could only be used for official work,
and was not such as any gentleman would care
to lumber up private residence with, and the
fact that receipt was given would show to
those base enough to suppose such Q thing
that there was no intention to appropriate the
property to private use.. Any one with
knowledge of the duties of the Secretary of
the Treasury knows that most of his time at
the Department is occupied with visitors, and
the real work has to be done at his home or
elsewhere out of the Department, and that the
articles named in the following receipt were
absolutely necessary for the transaction of
that business: r.. ... g.. .. ... .s.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

WASHINGTON, d. O., Jan. %, 1872. I
Received at Treasury Department December
5, 1871, from Andrew Gibney, assistant super
intendent of the Treasury Department, one
walnut swivel arm chair, for use Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
III. SAvLLE. Chief Clerk.
Two or three other receipts of similar char
acter, one for desk for Mr.. Conant when
chief of the warrant division, and over which
he spent many weary nights In the service of
the Government, are paraded as evidence of an
intention to defraud the Government, when, to
a candid mind, they furnish the best evidence
of devotion to official duties. Certainly Demo
cratic papers must be sadly short of material
when they fall back on such stuff for political
capital. But how does Gibney stand? By his
own sworn statement, q thief and purloiner
of papers by which the rights of the Govern
ment were protected and its title to the prop
erty established beyond question. Although
two years have elapsed since he was turned
out of his position Of assistant superintendent,
he states that the original papers are still in
his possession. If such be the fact he has sub
statute Furnishing the abstraction of official
papers. The probability is that when the
property was returned the receipts were sur
rendered, and the officials neglecting to take
them up, Mr.. Gibney gobbled them, and lie
now trying to use them for blackmail pur-
poses. OF such tools and of such evidence the
Democracy is welcome to make the most.
When scoundrel attempted to blacken the
character of the late Speaker Kerr the entire
Republican press denounced the assassin, but
now when a self-confessed thief attempts to
tarDish the name of Republican, though his
story bears its own refutation, the Democratic
press takes him to its bosom. A fit tool in a

The Administration ''Feeler. D."

la reference to the contradiction of the
the report, originating with the National
RepUJlictn, the "kitchcn organ" Of the adj
ministration, that Carl Schurz had been
authoritatively told that he must either
change his line of argument or "dry up"
entirely, the Boston Transcript well Gays {:
"Carl Schurz has not been rebuked By the
chairman of the republican national COM
mittce, as the Washington Kitchen organ
of the administration stated, and will con-
tinue i'll the canvass every day until Ohio
and Indiana have held their elections. Carl
Schurzs acts show he is far more deslrous
of General Hayes's election than is the 'rc-
publican candidate for congress from the
seventh district in this state, whose views
are dramatically opposed to those of the
republican standard bearer. But to return
to the main question. Why was this
'feeler' against the Influential German re-
publican, who is laboring so successfully
upon the stump, thrown out from Wash
ington? Itemanated undoubtedly from
the Babcock- Shepherd wing of the party
AMI meant mischief. 1t elected an entirely
different response from what had been an
ticpated. The evidence comes from every
hand that the people will not permit the
champions OF reform within the republican
party, to be slighted or insulted by those
assuming the leadership of the organization
This feeling has become SO determined as
to demand the utmost prudence on the pant
of the republican managers. If Carl Schurz
had been treated as theseI Washington pa
pers falsely represented, such storm
would have arisen in the republican ranks
as to utterly ruin General Hayess presi-
dental chances. The republican national
committee sagaciously saw this to he the
case, and promptly denied that the repub-
llcan national committee had any intention
of debating Carl Schurzs method of cam
paigning, although the criticisms of the
latter upon the administration must be in
tensely aggravating to Zach Chandler.

The Old South.

There was much rejoicing in Boston
when the news went out that the Old South
had been saved to posterity. The standing
committee Of the society has accepted the
offer previously made, and the purchasers
will take possession OF the property soon.
The offer as made was the sum of $780,.
900 for the land, with the restriction that
while the building remained on its present
site 1t should not be used for business pur-
poses or religious services on the Sabbath.
There being question whether such terms
would stand legal test, the committee has
taken advice and now agree to sell it for
the price offered and on the conditions
named, except that the restrictions are to
continue for the period of thirty years. If
the church is removed from its pres
ent site the restrictions do not
affect the use to which 1t NAV be
put, nor do they affect the use of the land
after a removal of the building. The use
of the building will be restricted to the
purpose for which it was desired, viz
Historic museum.
