National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-07-17

C. Robinson for Governor. Governor Ingersoll
has positively declined q denomination by the
Democrats.
Raw recruits for the army are not as album
dant as they were before the bloody scenes on
the Little Big Horn. When the recruiting
officers ask man If he would like to join the
army, he jerks down his vest and remarks:
''Not by q long shot"
The people are determined that Hayes shall
not Guido Tilden in generosity. The former
declines an election for second time; but the
people 60 further, and decline for Tilden an
election for even the first time, and it's the
kind of generosity that will save the country.
Once more we are called upon to announce
the last farewell of Uncle William Allen. He
now, for the twentieth time, bids adieu to the
world of politics, and seeks the quiet seclusion
of his dear old country home at Fruit Hill.
His first farewell took place. one hundred years
ago.
August Belmont has to eat the following
lean and tough crow: "Those who claim that
Tilden is unassailable are as dishonest as he
is, if they make the claim with a full knowl-
| edge of his record. He has been counsel for
all the broken down corporations with which
New York has been afflicted for the past
twenty years, and he has come out of them
with befouled hands"
A correspondent in South Carolina says:
"At Newbury, the former residence of Brooks,
the assassin of Sumner, the rebel Democracy
| turned out on the Fourth in large numbers,
and spent the day in abuse of the Government.
One James N .Lipscomb was even more violent
than the unreconstructed Edgefeld villains,
and pronounced his anathemas against the
| Yankee Government with fearful force. He
made no bones of his opinions, and gave ut
| terance to them with as much freedom as he
would have done had he been speaking under
| JEFF Davis government, instead of that of the
Union. He openly advised his hearers to kill
off the white and colored Republicans, as the
| surest means by which they could place the
Democracy in power. He said that after the
election of Tilden they would drive every Re-
publican from place and power, if they had to
do it at the point of the bayonet or at the muz-
zle of pistol. This sentiment was received
with rounds of applause. There is an under
current of feeling here among the good rebels
that the country is fast going to pieces, and
that If the spirit of 1860 and 1861 is kept alive,
| the day is not far distant when the Lost
| Cause will be resuscitated and the old Bour-
bon leaders again restored to power. To show
the readers of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN an
| evidence OF this statement, inclose the fol-
| lowing extract from letter from Ex-Governor
B. F. Perry, who was appointed by Andrew
johnson Provisional Governor of this State,
just after the war, on account of his supposed
Union procliyities. Here is the letter:
81 was at a very handsome entertainment
in st. Louis, where l saw the Confederate flag
| waving over the supper table. As l conducted
| the lady of the house into the supper-room, she
| said to me: 81 knew that all my company this
| evening, both ladies and gentlemen, were good
Confederates, and thought they would be
pleased to see once more the flag of the Lost
Cause" She was an accomplished and most
charming South Carolinian herself, but now a
citizen of st. Louis. B. F. PERRY
'Suffice it to say that Perry is to-day one of
the most blatant Democrats in the State-a
fre-eater of the Toombs stripe, a man who is
anything for power and place; doubtless as
good rebel at heart during the war as Mem
mineer and Trenholm were, but with not moral
courage enough to own it. He took the IRON
clad oath with no computations Of conscience,
although his sons and other relatives were in
the Confederate army"
