National Republican., 1876-02-09

while the anxious world without waits impa-
tiently for the result. Not because they ex-
pect the result is going to effect any Of the
parties investigated, but they want to see how
bulky botch the Democracy can make of
the matter, and how sheepish they will look
when they have finished.
Robert Toombs dislikes this country 50 heart
lily that perhaps 1t would bs advisable for him
to leave it; but, then, we suppose the Govern
ment would have to bring him back out of
charity, as 1t did those Southcrners who were
staYing in Brazil.
Mr.. Holman has come to tie conclusion that
the American people are living too extraya-
gantly, and forthwith Mr.. Holman pounces
upon the poor clerks OF the civil service and with
wild gesture and fierce mien declares that he
will teach them to be more frugal. If the
American people are too cxtravagaut, would it
not be wise for Mr.. Holman to set them a good
example by pushing to one side his quails on
toast and squarinS himself before a dish of
oat meal before he strikes blow at the en-
ployees Of the Government whose salaries
scarcely afford thcm the ncccSsarics Of life!
We Sympathzc with Private DhlEcll. We
know OF nothing more deserving of sympathy
than man with blasted hopes. The Ohio
Sicts ,JorTiIcl nominated Mr.. Dalzell for the
Presidency and General William 7. Sherman
for the Vice Presidency. General Sherman,
we all know, never did care to be President,
and much less Vice President but with Mr..
Dalzcll, we believe, there were different senti-
mcnts. lie took deep hope when he saw the
-, = L.. l.
ally begun to think about what he would say
in his Inauguration speech, wheu he was sud-
denly cast down in spirit hy the receipt of
letter from the General stating positively that
he has no political ambition. Of course this
ruins all Mr.. DaIze!'s prospects; for, with the
General on the ticket, his chances were $3.50,
but with the Generals name oil OF his ticket
he could not be elected even If he weIe 20
write private letter TO every voter in the
land. The General might have selfsacrifce
enough to have accommodated the Private,
and thus another beautiful illustration would
have adorned the pages of history, where the
magnanirnity of the great benled II. stiieucd
knee OF dignity 10 raise the low.
TIC cN-COnfcdcrate anl B)urJoH>ti: De-
mocracr in Tie House, in their wild AMI iaco-
herent measures looking to tie reduction Of
the army expenses, cyclaim. 1.-THE Treasury is
dcIletc: the Radicals have drained its Golfers
dry II is noticeable, however, that they do
not say why the Radicals drained il IrY. They
fail TO mention the fact that the Republican
party vas forced to Usr lis treasures 10 pre-
vent these same shIicking blatLerskftcs from
rcnding asundcr the splendid fabric of the
J-rspn 1:I
from FerIctuatng tie barbaric system of
bondage, and from dividing forever the great
federation OF States, whose undistur,cd unity
is necessary for the continuation OF the Re-
public. For these things it became an abso-
Lutte necessity that the Treasury, which, when
it came into the possession of the Republican
party, was greatly reduced, should be Sill
further diminished. And yet these men, fresh
from the CORY fields Of interneciRc war,
planned, inaugurated and executed by their
own treasOnablc and faithlcss exertions, stand
under the shadow OF the flag which they be-
trayed, and, with inycctives and curses, at
tempt 10 browbeat the American people into
the belief that the Republican party has
robbed, and is robbing, the Treasury of the
United States by system of prodigality and
useless expenditures. These men should wait
and let their children speak, for the stain of
their infidelity TO the Constitution is altogether
too fresh upon their garments. They should
remember that it is through the magnanimity
Of the Republican party that they are now
enjoying the privilege of unfcttcrcd political
action, and that, such being the case, it does
not become them TO taunt AMI ieer that organ
ization for having accomplished its brilliant
record of the past.
