ENACT the part of the good Samaritan
to-day by sending succor to the yellow
fever sufferers in Savannah. Washing.
tonians, ever blessed with large proper
ton of health, seem to be hardly able to
realize the depth and breadth of the ca
lamity under which our sister city is now
laboring. Her population of 5000 is now
reduced to pitiful 5000, only one seventh
of her ordinary number, and of these there
are dying an average of fifteen to twenty
daily. A like proportion of deaths in this
District would give daily mortality of $50
to COO. Just let us imagine such condition
of affairs here, and then let our sympathy
take tangible shape in such contributions
as We would have others send to US in like
circumstances.

hands. The Democracy will hardly
christen its statements as Radical lies, 1"
for the reason that the Richmond papers
OF Wednesday verify the truthfulness of
the fning and Imprisonment of these poor
people. This miserable creature Dungee
not content with prostituting himself to
Democratic uses for paltry gain, and in eff
forts to betray, to their own undoing, the race
he disgrRces, must needs call into requisi-
ton the Democratic employers of Rich
mond to help him make ''colored Conser-
vatives, and when this fails the Demo-
cratic courts must be utilized to punish
those who refuse to kiss the hand that
smites them. AS we have said, the letter
speaks for itself, and we commend it to the
consideration of those who have heretofore
been charitable enough to believe that
there is anything good in Southern Democ-

REV. VIC. MCCARTHY DENIES.
We are in receipt of the follow
from Rev. W. c. Mccarthy:

We are in receipt of the following letter
from Rev. W. C. Mccarthy:
AsHEvILLE, N. c., Sept. q, 1876.
To the Editor ofthe National Republican:
SIR In an editorial article of your issue of
the 22d instant you see fit to make very free
use of my name. The article states that l am
a Baptist preacher. So much is true. Every
other word in the said article denounce as an
infamous lie. l demand by what authority
you publish such libel.
As we have no desire to injure a crimi-
nal, and much less an innocent man, we
cheerfully give place to the above denial
1t is time Rev. Mccarthy should know that
very serious charges, among them those
published in this paper, have been preferred
against him in letter addressed to Mr..
Bishop, one of his sureties, and to the In
terror Department. These charges, by re-
sponsible persons ready to make proof and
to answer the consequences Of failure, set
forth that the gentleman is guilty of great
abuses of his trusts that he did pack, or
help pack, the council. as charged, and the
minutes of the council show that he, by his
own act, placed ]. W. Hilderbrand, a
western Cherokee, citizen of Polk county,
Tennessee, and not member of the E. B.
n. c. Cherokees, in the chair that Hill
derbrand appointed as an organizing COM
mittee Rev. Mccarthy, (white man and
agent L. W. Davidson, (white man, in
dicted with Blunt for conspiring with Blunt
and Swetland to collect fees fraudulently
from this band, and released as States evi-
dencC-a cousin of r. B. Vance, and one
of the men for whom Vance procured the
passage of claim through Congress- N.
]. Smith, Indicted and released as wit
ness, and in'debt to the Indians, as clerk,
some $7O0,) and two others-all Blunt
men. This committee organized the coun-
Gil by repudiating the constitution of the
band, rejecting twelve of the regular dele
gates, and substituting Georgians and Ten
nesseeans in their place-foreigners and
without any rights whatever in the band.
By this means it is alleged Lloyd R. Welch,
another western Cherokee, and special
agent of Blunt was appointed chief and
sent to Washington, and when there, with
Blunt, Vance, Davidson and others, sought
to influence Congress and the Departments
favorably in the interest of the Blunt fraud
ulent, contract. 1t is also charged that he
illegally issued rations to the attendants,
members and others of two councils, July
10 and October, 1875, for a period of two
weeks each This was contrary to the
usual custom, and wholly without legal
justification. These charges are on file in
the Department, and an inspector is now
in that country in the act of investigating
the conduct of the agent, and we abide his
report. If that shall be found favorable,
we shall hasten to make the ameDde honor
able, reminding Rev. Mccarthy that in
these days of investigation Indian agents
are liable to suspicion, eyeR if they are
Democrats.

THAT TILDEN preferred wounded and
sick soldiers should starve rather than help
them; that he was in sympathy with the
rebellion, and yet willing to sell iron and
extract OF coffee to the stronger party for
gain; that he was willing to defraud the
revenue by conce tlug his income; that he
is mean enough to plead the statute of limi-
tation ON the price Ot the furniture adorn-
ing his house, and thus defraud the manu-
facturer and laborer, are not now to be
questioned. They are matters proved be-
yond doubt AS a substitute for merit in
Tilden, the Democrrtic press are parading
the virtues, patriotism, benevolence to
the poor soldier and economy of the pres
ent House of Representatives, and credit
ing them all to the account of Tilden. This
is by odds the cream of the joke Of the

THE TrIdenites in Georgia boast of the

THE Tlldenites in Georgia boast of their
shame. They say the vote was very light.
and the Democratic majority will reach
seventy-fve thousand, or the largest, much
the largest, ever given in the State. These
declarations are equivalent to a boast that
the negroes in most places were not allowed
to vote. This fact is too transparent to
allow any one to be deceived. A light vote
in Presidential year where free suffrage
obtains is unprecedented, except where
terrorism reigns. The result in Georgia
speaks volumes more of the true condition
OF things than all the asseverations Of the
Democratic press, North and South. Those
who, in view OF these facts, gloated over
by the Democracy and blatantly published
forth as joyous tidings by an unscrupulous
and imbruited press as patriotic victory
for 'treform," still contend with Mr.. Chas.
Francis Adams for peace on such basis,
are unworthy the citizenship they enjoy
themselves, but ere unwilling to guarantee e
to others. Mr.. Adams late rather was
willing to sacrifice his life to secure the
sacred right of petition, but his degenerate
SOD is willing and anxious to be inundated
upon the altar of disfrsnchisement.

Oh OUR FIRST PAGE will be found an
impassioned letter from "Vindex," an
ardent Southern Republican, who wishes
to know what the Administration and the
Republican party and Col. Bob Ingersoll
mean when they say the American flag is
broad enough, the Government of which
it is the insignia is powerful enough to
protect the humblest of American citizens,
at home as well as abroad. His language
is plain and to the point. Why is not the
present good time to answer his ques-
tions? South Carolina is in armed rebel
lion and deties the Government to disarm
the rebel banditti and protect the unarmed

The Louisville COurier-JournaE gives
its editorial sanction 10 the falsehood that
Indian Commissioner Smith shipped goods
by rail which could have been shipped by
water. The fact is that at this season there
is no safety in shipping by water. The
mountain SHOWS have ceased to melt; there
are no fall rains, and the waters commence
to go down in August, and in such season
as this soon become too low for navigation.
This misfortune is due wholly to the re-
fusal of the rebel Democratic House, of
which the editor of the Courier Journal is
one, TO make the appropriations in due time

campaign. Now, we have not been aware
that the House has any piety to loan ou',
or that Tilden will be made any better by
adding its virtues (O to his vices, and its
positive acts to his eternal negation, except
when the opportunity occurred to swallow
an entire railroad, including contiguous
counties. A candidate with no positive
virtues, overloaded with positive vices, and
redeemed by the vicarious atonement-
substitution, trans substantiation - of the
virtues of the late House of Representa-
tives, is the most irredeemsble cuss exposed
to intensified caloric or popular repudiation.

THE Indiana Republican Greenbackers
are coming down to hard-horse sense.
They have determined to vote for Harrison
in October and for Hayes and Wheeler in
November. They have taken Bob Inger-
soils advice to save the country first,
because greenbacks will be of no use with
out q country. 1t will be seen that Wal
colt, the Independent greenback candidate
for Governor, has declined IN favor of
Harrison, and the candidates for Congress
in several districts are also Withdrawing in
favor of the Republicans. This shows their
