me latter IN spite calls it the organ Of
BetknSpery and Babeockery in this city,
These are hard names to apply to any de.

woald have preferred to have been called
a rascal at once, Now. let the Republican
reply by terming its adversary the organ
OF the Grant and Williams southern

Hoe the Negro Is HOOfed on the
kPpubficdHs.

&The Commercial boasts that although
the anti-Ring men were defeated, they
got majority of votes of the white Re-
publicans in Wilmington and intimates
that the Ring carried the wards by ne
gro votes and by the aid of irish Demo-
Gratis engaged on the streets.
To this the Republican makes reply
in which it says the Commercial grossly
e1aggerates, as follows:
FALSE ACCUSATION The statement that
two-thirds of the white Penublicans OF this
city voted against the election of the Scott
delegates. is gross eXaggeration. In the
FIRST Ward. where there are not twenty
colored voters. the votes stood 1872 to 81,
making "a malorlt' male up OF white voters.
In the Second Ward ere are flew colored
voters, and yet the vote stood los to 70, show

In the third Ward. u colored men ivoted,

very equal division of the white vote, even

We do.not believe that there were 100 cOlored

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York bulletin says it is evident from
the tone Of discussion there,that while all
the members Of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee knew repeal of the
Resumption act would pass the House,
it would be defeated in the end. There
was an earnest desire to bring out some
thing like postponement of the date Of
resumption named i'll the act OF January
IA, 1875, cause of the we'll understood
fact that the PRESIDENT would veto a total
repeal OF that act, even if the Senate
sustained the House. In the event of
veto it would require two-thirds OF both
houses to everturn the verdict of the
President, and it is well-known that the
House, where the disposition to repeal
the Resumption act is rampant. cannot
raise working majority Of over twenty
tive, under any circumstances, in favor
Of repeal, while fifty majority is abso-
lutelI necessary to pass bill over a veto
Sc the only action that can be had 10y
committee or the House fsvoring abso-
late repeal Of the Resumption act is to
be either postponeuent Of the date or a
repeal bill fer political purpsse1. The
committee itself is opposed to repeal, but
in favor Of postponement Of date, but
the disposition is to de nothing till next
year. They want to tide the ma tt n over

In view OF the astounding develop

citizens to attend this meeting and help
effect a thorough organization of the
Great Democratic Party for the ensuing
campaign; SO that it may effectually bat
tie with and overcome corruption and
radicalism in all its forms. The only hope
rescuing our beloved country from
the control of unprincipalled men, FROM
bankruptcy and reputation, rests upon
tie success of the Democrat: Party in
the coming contest.

Of Constitutional right. A ,.gh.eous re-
gard for that sacred instrument should be
matter of congratula,ion when properly
and sensibly directed, but in the matter
under consideration, this solicitude comes
from rather suspicious source, and al
though there may be, and doubtless are
members who, although mistakingly ye
conscieutiously believe that they have sui.
