bus correspondent of the Cincinna
ii Gazette says
| Representative Stone, of Gailia, de.
liyered an amusing lecture in the hall
of the House tonight, on what he saw
and heard while making a trip TO Wash
ington City.
The correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Times speaks of the lecture as
follows:
The lecturer, in spirit, took his
hearers from Columbus to Philadel-
phia, where he fingered for a time
among the things Centennial that do
there abound. He touched the old
liberty bell; Illuminating over an old
pair of Washington's small clothes;
saw John Hancock's picture face to
face; wiped off the dust from ia
nous chair with the seat of his panta-
looms; visited the mint and wished he
owned it; speculated upon the size
of the Centennial buildings: said a
good word for hotel keeper, and
sped away to Washington.
This being the gentleman's first
visit to the National Capital, he was,
to draw it very mild, much pleased
with what he saw. His pen pictures
of prominent men we're in the main
very good, while the mountain seen
cry along the Pennsylvania Road en-
route home was full of those words
which only a highly delighted man
can utter. The Speaker generously
remembered to give first-class no
tice to the Pennsylvania Central
Road as desirable medium for visit
ing the Centennial.
The lecture, as a whole, was very
interesting, and was so voted by the
audience.
IMPORTANT SOCIAL NEWS.
Among other incidents of the
trip that interested as yell as panied
me, was the account of a delightful
ride taken by Mr.. Stone in a carriage
owned by Hon. John L. Vance, the
youthful Congressman from the Gal
ia District. The lecturer in graphic
words told of the elegant appear
ance of the blooded team which
lrew the comfortable carriage with
is yielding upholstering, its silver
plating, and its highly vanished sur
ace. | could have stood all this, but
when he states that the equipage was
lriven by a coachmarf in livery of
broadcloth, it was too
much, too much.
Ii this high toned rig had been
he property of some hloated Repub
lean bond-holder, it would be bad
nough, but to have it owned by a
Democratic defender of the peoples
iberties who wants more money, is
nough to make lover of Demo
ratio simplicity weep.
We who knew Vance as the red hot
ditor of Democratic county print (
ng so recently, did not expect he
Tould so soon fall into the hollow !
ormalities Of the Republican court.
'ruly it is sad.
Here was man much respected by :
is neighbors as a plain honest coun-
" editor. A man who knew a good
rticle of leather shoestrings when ,
e saw it, and whose unbiased judg- /
lent on reversible paper collars |
'ould be of real value to an honest
Dung man just starting in life, and
ct he has so rapidly fallen in the /
'ays of those who live amid the !
thinner and glitter of the courts of
fete despotism! A blooded team,

Oh, John, go. to! go to!

Hendricks on the Lincoln ASA ssination.

tFrOm the ALAMEDA County (Csl.) Gazette.l
At ten O'Clock on the morning after the Lin
coin assassination great meeting was held in
the State-house square at Indianapolis. The
war was over, the President had been foully
slain, and the object was to gather in, rehab-
ilitate and reconcile all the leading inhabitants
Of that great State, and wipe out the dishonor
of the Camp Morton conspiracy. The great
crowd was prodigious. Most of the foremost
men of Indiana were there, Democrats and Re-
publicans, ,on great occasion such as had never
condemn and deplore the only kind of regicide
that is possible in this great nation.
number of appropriate speeches were
made, and among the others one by Judge
Mcdonald, the present Democratic Senator
from Indiana, who spoke humauely, maguif-
Gently, like cultured American citizen, and
was Vehemently applauded by the great throng.
Then there was call for observation-disclosures
A. Hendricks, major general of the Knights of
the Golden Circle and head conspirator in the
Camp Morton insurrection.
Mr.. Hendricks rose reluctantly and In ap-
parent trepidation. His face was very pale,
his voice quavered and he was evidently i'll at
ease as he con 'ronted the majestic State of
Indiana in her loyalty and deep grief. He be-
gan to speak, to deprecate and deplore the
errors and Unconstitutional acts Of the late
President. A tremor ran over the vast as
semblage, and presently man stood forth
and cried:
"Take him down! Damn him, take him
down."
A number of citizens collected around the
excited man, quieted him down just when he
was about to communicate his passionate i'm

THE DEPARTMENTS AND THE REPUBLI-
CAN PARTY.

1t is said, and we think truly, that every
man has his influence for good and evil. A
Cabinet officer may not have as much
weight in giving direction to public opinion
as the President, but his power is great a
head Of bureau may not command as
much respect as the Secretary, but his in
fueDce is not small and so on down in
regular graduation, until we come to the
lowest employee. The messenger, the
watchman, the laborer, the poor woman
that scrubs the stairs, all have an influence,
and though some may seem to be too small
for notice, yet drops make up the bucket
lul, and in the aggregation every drop
counts, has its due weight, and the bucket
that has the most drops in it will be full and
running over. This may illustrate the elec-
tion of President, when every vote counts.
Hence the importance of every influence
that gives direction to votes, for the man
who receives the most votes will be elect
ed, just as the bucket that had the most
drops in it was full and dripping over.
We would naturally conclude in looking
into the actual condition of the Depart
ments of Government now under the con-
troll of the Republican party, that it was a

WHAT THE NATION WILL NOT PERMIT.

The same element which, with its far
reaching sway, menaced the Republic in
1861, is now rampant, and, aided by the
copperhead and dough face combination of
the North, is making strenuous efforts to
obtain control of the Government, and in
the language OF Ben Hill, Succeed in &C
complishing by peaceful means, and
"within the Union" what it failed to
accomplish out of it with its armed bat
talions. No sane man doubts the results if
by any mishap the Democracy gains con-
troll. Everybody knows how rebels will
domineer over loyalists, and how treason
will be rewarded. 1t requires no fertile
imagination to see ex-rebels filling all,the
offices of profit and trust under the Govern
ment and those who fought to maintain
the perpetuity OF the Republic retiring into
hiding places. Those who know the men
are aware of the promptness with which
Toombs, Wise, Davis, Lamar, Hill and
others will flock to Washington and die
tate the policy of the Administration. As
the South held the balance of power prior
to the war, plunging the country into
ghastly difficulties, is it not safe to assume
that she will do so again to the nations
Sorrow?
Are the people o. the North prepared
to admit that the war was a failure, and
the blood and treasure expended in its
prosecution wasted Surely Democratic
success means all these things aud more.
1t will be q foul stigma upon the gallant
youth of the Republic who died that the
nation might live. Democratic success
means the virtual reinstatement of four
millions of unfortunate citizens, who are
toiling hard to better their material condi-
tion. 1t means that they are to be re-
manded to a condition Of peonage, to the
end that the Southern chivalry may again
live by the fruits of unrequited labor. 1t is
not possible that the intelligence and virtue
of the American people can entertain for
moment the idea of turning over this great
Republic into the hands of blood stained
rebels and their sympathetic Northern
allies. While the clemency Of the people
has allowed Southern arch traitors to es-
cape with their liberty, and permitted
them to live only to traduce the lenience
which spared their Improbable lives,
they will not permit them to again man
the great ship Of State, whose mission is to
afford safety and protection to all. The
class of men who are now aspiring to gain
control should hide their heads through
sheer shame. They ran the rebel ship
ashore, aud should not be intrusted with
the pilotsge Of another. Their statesman
ship is on a par with the Confederate
money which is locked up in their trunks.
A defeated, impoverished and discounted
people; q land filled with widows and
orphans, oripples and premature graves.
these are results of the maladministration
of the main supporters of the Democratic
tricksters who are now making such
herculesn efforts to obtain control Of the
Government

WE OBSERVE that Hon. William A. Piper,

WE OBSERVE that Hon. William A. Piper,
of California, has gone home to eat his own
words. A recent press telegram from the
Pacific coast says that he denies having
asserted while in Washington that "gold
"pieces were his constituents" and that
"he did not know what in the HI the
"people of California sent him to Congress
I" for unless it was because he was richer
ethan old Christ" or that he had asserted
in substance that gold had elected him be-
fore and would elect him again if he wanted
to come back. That Mr.. Piper did make
statements to the above effect during the
session is susceptible of proof by the most
irrefragible testimony. Whether he was in
that condition of body and mind to know
and comprehend what he was saying at
the time is another question. II he wants
to lay the blame on whisky let him say SO;
that's all But don't let him deny it, be-
cause it is Of no use. There are too many
witnesses against him.

THE Associated Press agent at Charles
ton, S. c., is pestiferous Democratic car
pet-bagger by the name of Dawson, who is
never better pleased than when inditing
lying missives to Northern newspapers.
His most recent lie was when he charged
that the recent Charleston riot was caused
by Republicans making an onslaught upon
colored Democrats. We have been reliably
informed that such was not the case, and
that The difficulty grew out of the predeter-
mined plan of the Democrats to break up a
Republican meeting by demanding "half
the time" What manner of men are these
Charleston rebels, that they cannot learn
that American citizens will be guaranteed
the right o. peaceable assembly if it takes
the entire army to enforce that right?
National Republican., 1876-09-09


PRIVATE TELEGRAMs from Charleston,
S. c., state that the recent riot there was
precipitated by the Democrats demanding
"half the time" at a Republican meeting
as they have been successfully doing in
other portions of the State. To this un-
reasonable demand the Republicans refused
to acquiesce, when they were fired upon by
White Line mob. The Republicans being
largely in the majority determined to stand
their ground, and play while at the
White-Line game, resulting in the killing
of several Democrats. We find the order
of things for the first time reversed in this
Charleston difficulty. Hitherto in the
South forty or fifty negroes always bit the
dust, the whites "miraculously" escaping
without injury. While we unhesitatiugly
condemn mob law, yet we cannot be too
warm in our commentator of those per-
secuted Charleston Republicans who re-
solved to defend their rights at the risk Of
their lives. A few more such receptions
as that accorded the Ku Klux mob at
Charleston by law, abiding Republicans will
have most salutary effect upon the politi-
cal morality of Hampton and his bloody
followers

matter of small importance whether the
Republican or the Democrat, the patrio: or
the traitor held the reins of Government
For we find five hundred at least holding
places in these Departments who are ex-
erting all the influence they can weld to
defeat the party that nourishes them in its
bosom, and gives them the means to exert
tenfold, yea hundred fold, we might say,
more Influence than they would have if
cast out as they should be, and left to
struggle for subsistence with the wolf at
their door, as many true friends of the party
now are doing because these vipers are
cherished. If the Republican party-the
party Of true patriotism-of progress and
that saved the Union and life of the nation,
and made it what it is to-day, should
be beaten by the party of treason
with its hands reeking in innocent blood,
and that fought four years to reud the
Union and destroy the nation, fearful,
most terrible, responsibility will rest
upon and crush with everlasting infamy
those who might avert the evil if they
would. They may think to shirk the
responsibility. but this is a time of investi-
cation, and the people will find it out.
They know it already, and will hold them
to it so sure as the sun continues to shine
by day and the stars by night. The good
and the true people all over the land are
watching them; the six hundred thousand
late Union soldiers, still alive, who stood
as wall of fire before the enemy to save
the nations life, are watching them; the
widows and orphans of those who died on
the field Of battle, in hospital or the rebel
prison hells, are watching them; and If
they do their duty now, when the rebel
yell of 81 is again ringing in their ears,
warning them of the impending danger,
and the blood of the Union citizen and
freedmen of the South is crying from the
ground for redress, and those yet alive
asking for protection-ycs, If they do their
duty now the blessing Of heaven will rest
on their heads, and Joy like the sunshine
and peace like the dew-drop will come to
them, and future generations rise up and
call their names blessed.

SENATOR CONoVER, of Florida, has
calamity withdrawn as the Republican
candidate for Governor, nominated in oppo-
sition to Governor Stearns. His letter of
Withdrawal is printed elsewhere. This
generous act of Senator Conover has effect
ually harmonized all the factional interests
among the Republicans in Florida, and
primarily insures the success of the Hayes
and Wheeler electoral ticket in that State
Since the Republican State convention, in
June last, there have been two opposing
Republican organizations in Florida, very
evenly dividing the Republicans in that
State. Governor Stearns was supported
by one half of the party, while Senator
Conover was very warmly indorsed by an
equally numerous and by the more intelli
gent element, and by large Conservative
faction willing to vote for Hayes and
Wheeler, but hostile to Stearns. In this
unfortunate situation the two Republican
factions sent delegates to Cincinnati where
the Conover delegates were admitted, and
the National Executive Committee subse-
quently recognized the Conover organiza-
ton. Notwithstanding the strong position
of Senator Conover, it was found impossible
to fully hsrmonize the Republicans in
Florida on either candidate for Governor,
thus imperiling the success of the Republi
can electoral ticket. Senator Conover has
sacrificed his personal claims, and Florida
is now made safe for complete Republican
victory. Too much praise cannot be
awarded to Senator Conover for his gen.
erous conduct under the circumstances, an
act which increases the obligations of the
Republican party in that State to one fits
most discreet, able and respectable leaders,
and which insures the confidence and graft
tude of the national party. He has two
wears more to serve in the Senate.

tee convened there yesterday, for the pur-
pose Of removing Henry Musgrove and J.
Lake, jr., late United States marshal, from
the Craftsmanship and secretaryship of the
State Central Committee, which was done,
ard the Central Committee abolished. The
duties Of the latter committee now devolve

which II. Z. Ware, an uncompromising

United States attorney, is chairman. This

JOHN WINsMTH, or Hon. T. C. Dunn,
would either of them make an altogether
acceptable candidate for Governor of
South Carolina. Both are sterling Repub-
icans, and not SO Objectionable to the
people at large as Governor Chamberlain.
The strength of the Republican party can
be rallied upon for either Of these gentle
men, and under their leadership the State
will be secure for Hayes and Wheeler.
The time is near ct hand when the South
Carolina convention meets, and Republi-
CANS there can rest assured that they can
only retain public sympathy by remanding
TO the rear the vacillating "gushers" who
have been the uiads of all their troubles.
Chamberlain's tool, Cardozo, should also
be required to "step down and out" from
