National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-05-05

The California Republican,, few days
since, declared that the Democrats would, if
they should come into power, pass laws to
pension Confederate soldiers. to liquidate
rebel cotton claims, and to satisfy other un-
reasonable Southern demands. People
smiled at this. They were unthinking people,
though. They knew nothing about the. com.
pleXion Of the party now in power in the
House of Representatives. They would not
have derided the expressions of the California
Republicans had they known that the army of
ex-Confederate brigadier generals now in
Congress are not showing their true colors,
except now and then, as in the case of Vance,
who offered resolution looking to the pay
ment Of old Southern mail contractors
claims. In the tidal wave of gush
which swept over the country some time ago
their eyes were dashed full of soft sentiment,
and their heads became turned to the true con-
dition Of things. We should be fair and just,
hut we should not be foolish. To allow this
element the privileged power of government
is simply giving them that for which they
fought. To this they are not entitled. It
cost us enough to prove that We are a nation,
without now meekly giving the purchase back
into the hands of the vendor. People may
laugh at the idea of the National Government
paying pensions to ex-rebel soldiers and in
Identifying the South for its slaves, but such
a thing is possible, and all that is needed to
make 1t probable is the full restoration of
Democratic rule

The murder Of the two Louisiana politicians
day before yesterday at Coushatta is but
mid foretaste Of what will transpire this fall.
The White Liners are organized to do some
foul work. The taking off of Twitchell and
King is but a prelude to the sanguinary
entertainment which these men have in store
for the Republicans of the South. "Dark
deeds done under the mask" will be the title
of the play, and the actors will all be stars In
the superb manner in which they will render
their bloody parts. People who read this will
exclaim, "There, you are Haunting the CORY
garment againr" Perhaps SO; but is It not
true? Have we not two more shirts dreuched
with the blood of two innocent men to be
added to the thirty thousand of these CORY
garments already secured by the White Line
element! These are facts, and they know no
criterion save truth.
