National Republican., 1876-09-08

The New YORK World, faithful among the
faithless, still keeps at the head OF its columns
the name of Horatio Seymour as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor. 1t should now
take down the name of TEden for President,
and run up Andrew jackson. That name
will take much better with the Democracy.
1t cannot be that civilized Europe will long
permit such outrages as are recorded in our
dispatches from the scene of the Turkish war
to go on. If Turkey cannot carry on her war
in a manner consonant with the ideas of civil
ization the civilized nations must step in, and
by putting an end to the war put an end to
these shocking and revolving barbarities.
Kentucky has public officer, of whom she
should be proud, in the person of Mr.. W. G.
Lobban, aid to the Governor, who, with COM
pany of State troops, arrived at the scene of
the prize fight between Allen and Goss yester-
day, allowed four rounds to be fought while
the troops were disembarking, and then Gd-
yised that the fight be stopped, permitting the
principles and all concerned to depart with the
open avowal that the fight would be resumed
elsewhere. From the facts that the crowd did
not disperse on the appearance of the military,
and the mill went on right under the nose of
this aid to the Governor and his posse conf
tatus, it would seem that the bruisers had been
informed as to the character of the interference
that would be made.
The nomination of Richard D. Hubbard by
the Democrats of Connecticut is virtually q
recognition of the fact that the world
moves, and a reputation of Bill Eaton and
the whole batch of his State rights secession
anti-bellum followers who have cont rolled the
party in that State since the beginning of the
war. Mr.. Hubbard was during the war AN earn
est advocate of its vigorous prosecution, and
although not actually Withdrawing from the
party which, as has been stated, was then
controlled by Eaton and other copperheads,
he stood aloof from it and took no part in its
operations during the war, and when elected
to Congress by the aid of Republican votes he
took an early opportunity to repudiate any
sympathy with Eaton and his followers. The
ex Confederates, in the event of Mr.. Hubbard's
election, which is not probable, would. be able
to extract but slight comfort from that cir
cumstance. If it became necessary to call for
volunteers to put down another rebellion in
the South Mr.. Hubbard would respond as
promptly as any Republican Governor in the
Union.
The accounts of the disturbance at Charles
ton, from the NerS and Courier of that city,
must, like Servian war news, be taken with
some grains of allowance. The difference n
the accounts of this outbreak and the "affair
at Hamburg" from the same source, is no.
ticeable, and will lead to a desire for informa-
ton from other sources before final opinion
is formed. While greatly to be deplored, it is
not strange that the colored people of that
State should, after so many outrages, have
overstepped the limits Of propriety and
taken the law into their own hands.
1t may be found that the whites were
the aggressors, but whether that be
so or not, even the present accounts
do not claim that the negroes got their victims
to surrender, and after disarming shot them
down IN cold blood, as was done by the whites
at Hamburg. We are not apologists for any
wrong-doing of Southern Republicans, white
or black, but we simply desire to remind the
Democracy OF that section that they have for
long time past been sowing to the wind, and
if the whirlwind comes they are responsible
for
