National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-03-14

shire to. day. Tonight the peans OF Republi-
can victory viii be echoed and re-echoed
through the hills and wales of the old Granite
State.
Whenever Canadian reporter attempts to
interview Marsh on the Befknap matter, Caleb
politely refers him to Hester ely mer for full
particulars, with the remark that she has
plenty of interesting matter which has never
been put OUT" and never will be IL he can
helpit.
Our branding Congressman Robbins as a
bribe-taker has met with general approval by
the press of North Carolina, which is just
now very active in unearthing a mess OF his
official corruption, that will effectually de-
stroy his political influence in that State for
all time to come.
Behold the 'cheek" Of the adYenturer,
Chamberlain, who speaks of himself in his
little penny newspaper, called the Union
Herald:
AN attempt to revive Federal Interference In
elements here, the attempt to stamp out men ike
Bristow and Dyer and Chamberlain will cause
the loss Of such States as New York, Indians,
Of the Republican party is but pinch at best"
We first published the fact that Blackburn
was guerrilla and brother of the infamous
wretch who attempted to make a graveyard
of the North by introducing foul contagion
there during the war. Since our announce
ment of the fact the press of the North and
West have taken the matter up and thoroughly
car
ter. The name Of Blackburn, 80 far as it re-
latcs to these brothers; is held in equal con-
tempt with that OF John Wilkes Booth and the
dynamite fiend.
Mr.. William Welsh will publish this morning
in the Philadelphia papers letter urging the
transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War De-
partment. William has always wanted some
thing done, and generally has called upon the
Government to do it. Several years ago he
said that the Indian service must be placed
under the control of the Peace Commission in
the Interior Department. While it was under
that branch OF the Government, and William
was connected with it; he never LOSE an op-
portunity 10 tell the world what a magnificent
establishment the peace policy was as manipu-
lated by the Interior Department. But as
soon as he was called upon to sever his con-
nection with the Indian Bureau his mind sud-
denly changed. He commenced to assail the
officials of that service with persistency and
violence that amounted to bitter and unre-
lenting hatred. Now he wants the Bureau
placed in the hands of the soldiery. He
thinks the Indian needs it and the army re-
quires it. But the probabilities are that,
should the military get control of this service,
it will not be six months before William will
be out in an open letter urging the establish
ment of a separate bureauor the replacement
of.the service back to the Interior Department.
Mr.. Welsh's opinions respecting the manage
ment OF the aborigines have been as change
full as the chsmelion's spots, and were his ad-
vice to be followed the interests of the Bureau
would be as unsettled and unsatisfactory as
are the business interests of the country to-
day.
Every vital interest of the country rests to-day
under the banner of the Republican party. It
represents the elements of society which
alone can protect and build up the interests
of the Republic. 1t has saved the Union
from disinte grafton, preserved 1t from the
ruinous policy of reputation, which has been
and is the aim OF the Democracy to thrust
upon it. With frank unanimity it now stands
upon a bard-money basis, demanding the
conservation of the national credit abroad
and its financial honor at home. With that
constant persistency in discharge of duty
which has characterized its career from the
hour of its conception it now demands the
prompt punishment of corrupt officials and
earnestly invites thorough investigation in
all the branches of Government. The rebel
yell which is now ringing and re-echoing
through the land is but a repetition of what
the country has heard before. 1t does not
frighten nor intimidate the people. They
heard the same .ominous threatenings from
the Democratic mob-rioters, in 1868, who were
opposing the war and the draft. They then
demanded the overthrow of the Republican
party, and on the same principle they are cry
ing for its destruction now. The yell has
never been forgotten. The people of the
North and West comprehend its import. They
triumphantly defied it twelve years ago, they
will defy and with the strong force of the
elective franchise hush 1t now.
