CONFEDERATE ECONOMISTS.

The hue and cry on the part of the ex-
Confederate Representatives on the ques-
ton of retIencbment and economy comes
with bad grace fl, M party that plunged
the nation into the most horrible of all
waTs-s fratricidal stritc-a war the most
intense that ever cursed the earth. How
ever grand its Tcsulls-that o. unifying and
making us a nation and preserving free in
stitutiOns-- the blame is on the Confele-
rates for causing the war. Beset as they
were by the bellish purpose OF destroying
the UniCn OF our fathers, and rendering us
as people the .Ly word and reproach for
all coming generations, We have reason
to thank God and a brave, loyal people
they did not succeed. The loyal men
loaned the money, their sons fought and
their daughters worked fol; the crushing
Of the rebellion, while these precious ''re-
formers were secretly aiding the enemy
on the one band, and on the other were
fighting to destroy the Union. Bal grace,

Mr.. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, in the
last number of Harper's Weekly, reads the
President a lecture upon his duties in max
ing and repairing Cabinets and the dignity
of his Office. 1t is in behalf of lost Jewell,
and is not the first of its kind. Well, Gen.
Grant has never written q book for the
Harper's. If he had he might be tolerably
certain of being well spoken of in their
publications. The trouble with Curtis is
that he assumes that all of Dana ISLANDERS
of the President are true, and upon them
bases his criticisms. Dana and Curtis be-
long 10 the same literary Mutual Admira-
ton Club" the members of which are
proficient at the game Of tickle me, tickle
you" Outsiders are to them as smoking
flax" If DaLa were now Collector of the
Port of New York and Curtis chief dis
burser of Executive patronage through his
system of Civil Service Reform, we should
hear different tunes from certain Reform"
organs.

Mr.. THOMAS, oil Maryland, in his speech
upon the Hawaiian treaty, delivered on
the Sth OF May, but printed in tine Record
of July 26, says that the doctrine ICON
blended for by the gentleman from Massa-
"chusetts (Mr. Banks) strips the House of
Representatives, in whicA alone bills for
"the appropriation Of money can originate,
"of all participation in the appropriation
"of money under treaty stipulatlons, &c.
Attention is called to the words in italics.
There is not a sentence or a word of i'm
plication of the Constitution that supports
such a statement. By provision of that
instrument Cart. l. sec. 7, bills for raising
revenue must originate in the House; but
all other bills can, by Constitutional right
originate in the Senate as well as in the
House. Let Mr.. Thomas read the Consti
tuition before he makes any more speeches.

THE Richmond Wig is extremely vio-
lent in its assaults upon the Republicans OF
North Carolina, and especially upon Judge
Settle, the Republic n Candidate for Gov
ernor. At the same time it boasts that ex-
Gov. Vance, the Democratic candidate, is
a man whose name is certain preslge of
victory. We are afraid the Wings ppliti-
Cal prejudIces have led ii astray. Judge
Settle is not only brilliant man and Il
student, but of good family, while Vance
is known the State over as an easy going,
shiftless fellow, whose main stock in trade
is his ability to tell good story. Besides
this, Vance was too subservient friend Of
jeff Davis to be very popular with the
masses. 1t will not be many days before
the people of the Old North State will be
thoroughly posted regarding the manner in
which, when the State Legislature had re-
fused to give him any militia, he allowed
DAVIS TO use, within the limits of the State,
his Confederate troops to force conscripts
into the army. They will in due time be
also informed of the unwarranted execu-
ton of Union men, either with Vance S
connivance or by his direct aid.

IT APPEARS that Wade Hampton, of
South Carolina, was in Mississippi during
the bloody Ku-Klux canvass last year,
when, by dint Of terrorism, mutilatings
and murders, L. Q. c. Lamar succeeded in
wrestling that State from Republican rule
and handing it over to one of the most uu-
scrupulous conspiracies upon record. NJ.
W. Carey, of Edgefeld, South Carolina, is
of the opinion that the lessons taught
Hampton by Lamar will make that gentle
man eminently fitted to run for Governor
this fall on the Ku-Klux ticket. In letter
to Columbia paper Carey says:
"With General Wade Hampton as our leader,
with the experience he had in Mississippi,
where he was when the Mississippans over
came majority of thirty thousand, we can
easily, with the material aid that the New
York Democracy has promised us, overcome
the ten thousand majority that the Radicals
had in the last election in this State"
And 50 Hampton went to Mississippi for
the especial purpose OF receiving tuition iu
the art Of intimidation from the gallant %
Lamar If We mistake not, Gordon, of
Georgia, also rode over the field for the
same purpose.

CONGRESS came to a sensible determine
ton upon the army bill, referring the ques-
tions of reduction of numbers and of sal
airy to commission, which is to report at
the next session. Now let them carry their
wisdom into the consideration of the bill
providing for the legislative, executive and
judicial expenses of the Government and
appoint another commission to examine and
report concerning reductions in force and
salary, and in the meantime go no further
in that direction than is conceded by the
heads of Departments. This business of
dumping off, is neither in the interest of
good administration nor real economy. 1t
is that kind of economy which cuts off a

THE MASTERY,

The South, almost from the foundation
Of the Government, ruled and dominated
over the entire country, down to 1860, when,
as it could no longer have its way in the full
control of the Government, it rebelled, set
up for itself, and brought on bloody war
to break up the Union.
Through the dough faced Democracy. for
thirty years prior to the war, the South
was omnipotent. The struggle now is for
the same all-pervading influence and power
over every branch of the Government To
this end Samuel J. TildeH, the trucking,
knavish, unprincipled politician, is nomi-
mated, and should he be elected the South
again dominates the country, and there is
an end to free principles, free thought free
speech and free men.
The South is not never was and never
will be content to accept the conditions of
equality in the Union. 1t must rule or
ruin. and such politicians as Samuel j. Til
den, Thomas A. Hendricks, ct id genus
on1ne, will aid the South in securing this
mastery over the land. The Southern poll
ticians like Lamar, Gordon and Ben Hill
political lineal descendants of Calhoun,
Toombs, Cobb and Davis-want power and
full control in the Government. Tilden
and his Northern crew want the offices and
the spoils. That is all. They are not am-
bilious to rule. They will content them
selves though snubbed, browbesS and
trampled upon by their Southern masters.
Give them the crumbs that fall from their
masters table, and they will be content
They will lick the hand that smites them,
and the only manifestation is whine for
more.
The South knew full well the character
of the Northern Democracy, and how easy
it is to buy them and their leaders with the
spoils of office, hence they are perfectly
willing to give to this hungry horde the
lions share, reserving to themselves the
greater and richer boon Of dominating with
master's power this great Government.
Power with the South is more than. all
else. To obtain this sceptre once wrenched
from their hands they will give to the
obseQuious .fumkies like Tilden, Hendricks
Cox and Randall the spoils of office.
1t remains 10 be seen whether the Ameri-
can people will turn over to these Northern
dough faces and their Southern allies and
masters this great and free Government of
ours; whether they will turn train back
wards and reverse the order of progress and
reform

mitted to him for his examination, when,
on the Goth of April, notics was served
on Mr.. C. by the committee in effect that
he could have access to this pile of testi-
mony ON the following day, (rhursday,)
at 10 o'clock q. m, and that the investiga-
ton must close during the Friday and
Saturday following. This was equivalent
to shutting out defense under fair cir
cumstances, and, on the advice of counsel,
Mr.. Clapp declined, as was his duty, to be
slaughtered in the corner the committee
had prepared for his sacrifice. Mr.. Clapp
did not shrink from fair investigation
into the management of his Office, and
hence it is not fair or truthful for.the
Times to assert that he refused to 60 be-
fore the committee and explain.
1t is true, after this I'm fair and unjust
treatment by the House committee, that
Mr.. Clapp memorialized the Senate in be-
half of an investigation into his manage
ment of the Government printing office,
and that it responded in a resolution direct
ing the Senate Committee on Printing to
enter thereupon. That resolution is now
pending. As we understand, Mr.. Clspp
has sought no other mode of vindication
neither has he declined any fair opportu-
nifty to vindicate himself. All he asks is
fair play, and under that he invites the
most searching inquiry into his official con-
duct.
The Times seems to be greatly disturbed
lest the President may appoint Mr.. Clapp
as Public Printer when his term of office
as Congressional Printer may expire by
limitation of law. What the Executive
proposes doing in that behalf we have no
means OF knowing, but we have confidence
to believe that he will act under wise and
Just sense of duty. We think if Mr.. Clapp
should be appointed it will be for the rea-
son that those who have the best means of
estimating his worth as a public officer
strongly recommend and urge the appoint
ment and for the further reason that the
President regards the appointment as emil
nently proper and subseryient of the public
interest.
The Times may have reason for its con-
duct in this matter, but We doubt if it can
afford to loan its influence To the ex-Con-
federSte House TO aid in the persecution of
good Republicans.

to effect it by aiding in the election of Til

form they would inaugurate would be to
dismiss every Union soldier and honest man
from office and fill their places with rail
road thieves, Tammany men and Confede-
rates. Dans's record as Assistant Secretary
of War would prevent him from holding
