sounding fog horns and bells, in thick

ASSURANCES FROM THE PRESIDENT
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-07-29

This is 80 because this state of things forces
the nation face to face with one of the
two following alternatives:
L. Either the triumph of the Confederate
Democratic coalition, with negro serfdom
as its corner stone and q resectionalized
South as the seat of its political power; or,
g The territorial reconstruction of the
late Confederate States under congress
ional Republican protectorate.
In the face of altimatives like these, it is
needless to say, what the North will do,
and if it will not not do its duty volun-
tarily, what it will be finally forced to do.
The North under the rule of a Confederate
Democratic restoration will be forced to
fight as it was in 1861. Nothing can pre-
vent this result. The men who in 1866
planned the political massacre in New Or
leans, who carried forward the late revolu-
ton in Mississippi, and who have just
lighted cloody cigar as it were at Ham
burg, in South Carolina, will rule at Wash
ington under a Confederate Democratic
restoration. So ruling they will be certain
to produce the renewal of the conflict
which was supposed to have closed with
Lees surrender. Let Southern conserva-
tives look to this! They alone can give the
South and the nation peaceful solution of
the conflic; which has so long convulsed
Southern society.
l say that this state of things devolves
on Southern conservatives solemn re-
sponsibility. But does it not impose an
additional responsibility upon the conserv-
stive citizens of the Northe May not these
Southern conservatives really desire in

THE CONFERENCE.

The letter issued by the Fifth Avenue
Conference, on Monday last, is to say the
least of it, an able paper, though to a very
considerable extent it's suggestions are i'm
practicable. With the opinions of these
gentlemen that Reform is the great issue
of the day. and that candidates for the
Presidency should be men who are bound
by every consideration to carry out the
reform sentiments of the country" and
that ono obscure or untried man should
be selected" we heartily agree; but when
they declare their ultmatum, that unless
the Republicans nominate Mr.. Bristow
they will support Tilden, we think they
desert the very platform they lay down for
others. Whoever has arrived at such
definiteness of conclusion now, will, we
think, find no popular following, though
he threaten never SO loudly. Either Mr..
Blaine, OF Mr.. Bristow, or Mr.. Some one
make the wisdom of that choice clear to
the Conventions; but events this year, will
lead and not the opinions of any set of
men, however able. There are scores of
men within the Republican party, the
peers of Mr.. Tilden in all respects and a
bushwhacking expedition into the Demo-
cratic party in search of honesty would be
a sorry failure.

Mr.. Blaine and his CalumniatOrs.

1t is to be hoped, since the testimony of
Colonel Scott, before the investigating COM
mittee ordered by the House of Represent
atives, that political scandal-mongers, for
the immediate present, at least, will have
done with MIR. Blaine's name. His unre-
served and emphatic denial of his implica-
ton, in any manner, with the $64, 900 trans
action with the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, was accepted as final and con-
elusive by all reasonable men. None, save
those who did not wish to consider him
guiltless, expressed any doubt as to the en-
tire truthfulness of his statement. To
them, however, Mr.. Blaine's denial was in
sufficient; they demanded the name of the
party who did pledge the valueless bonds,
and who did receive the amount in uues
ton. Col. Scott, originally President of
the Union Pacific road, solves the riddle, by
statement of facts which not only clears
MIR. Blaine of any connection with the
transaction, but further shows him to have
had no knowledge of it. Mr.. Scott states
eA"' "A'SA hO hau OCCu L IcSlueuC Ol tne
road about nine months he found himself
financially embarrassed; that he asked the
road to advance him $64, 900 on stock of
the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad.
which he held, and for which he had paid
in cash $50, 200. This the Union Pacific
road did, and which amount he has never
repaid the company, it being in debt to
him in a much larger amount on account
of extraordinary services rendered it in his
capacity as President. Consideration alone
for Mr.. Scott, who did not desire to have
the matter made public, induced Mr.. Blaine
to withhold his name.
The testimony of Colonel Scott places
MIR. Rollins in an awkward position, since
it appears that Mr.. Blaine had been re-
elected to Congress at least two days before
his Mr.. Rollins') intimation to Mr.. Harri
son that an investigation of the case would
damage MIR. Blaine and defeat his election.
Rollins seems to have been the originator
OF the SANDER now completely disproved,
but upon such vague grounds as to stamp
them as absurd.
