National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-05-10

Coke was not as squeamish as congress man
Hancock.
The LATEST man is on Western paper. He
spells photograph "4tograph." There have
only been three worse than him. One lived
in Kansas and dated his letters "11worth,"
another spelled Tennessee "10aC," and the
other wrote Wyaniotte "Y&.",
:: The New York Sun denies the rumor that
the friends of Senator Coukling have sub
scribed 5000, 900 worth of stock for the pur-
pose of starting new daily in New York, to
be run in the interests of the Senator and
edited by Louis J. Jennings. 1t adds that,
with the Sun and Herald circulating every day
200 900 copies or more to advocate his nomi-
nation, he has no need Of the new enterprise.
Bob Toombs says he thanks God every night
that he has lived to see the day when the
id abolitionists are met face to face by
Southern gentlemen (O and taught whole
some lessons. He prophesies that the day
will soon come when the "wretched Yankees"
will be made to know their places as well as
they did when he, Brooks, Keitt ct al. were
wont to bully around in Congress generally.
Columbus, Georgia, furnishes the latest
Southern scandal. A Baptist minister of the
name of Kendrick, who for years has stood
very high in Southern communities, has been
accused of debauching young daughter of
leading merchant of that town. Having a
large flock under his charge, who persist ia
declining to believe him guilty of the offense,
. &c fo;r 60 hat he x.yflI ha
turned loose upon the community to continue
his avocation.
Hon. Zach. Chandler appears to have a
proper appreciation of the "rebel House" of
Representatives. When called upon the other
day for some papers, by the dough-face chair
man of an ex-Confederate committee, he
showed the applicant the door, and with
grim smile strongly limited that the sooner he
got outside of 1t the better it would be for all
concerned. Mr.. Chandler is the right man in
the right place, fact which doughfaces and
rebels have perhaps ascertained.
During the progress of the work upon the
tax-list in this Office, remarkable instance of
physical endurance has occurred. One of the
compositors commenced type-setting at six
O'Clock last Wednesday night, and has not
slept wink since, working continuously for
IA hours and taking his meals in the COM
posing room. When asked about sleep, he
wanted to know what it meant, and after be-
ing informed, remarked that perhaps he
would take little nap some time during the
present week.
Ran. Tucker is said to be preparing an elab-
crate speech on the subject of State rights.
He expects TO prove that the word Nation, as
applied to the Grea. Republic, is misnomer.
He will also show, to the satisfaction of Bob
Toombs, Sdmmies Cox and Randall, and Ben.
Hill, that the Union has no rights which the
States are bound to respect, because the for
mer was the creature of the latter. Messrs.
Kelley and Banks, neither of whom possesses
any political identity, will absent themselves
on the occasion, and barring few pulls at his
coat-tails, nothing but the utmost courtesy
will be extended him during the important
event.
The critic fiends of New York, feeling
piqued because Anna E. Dickinson chose to
make her debut in Boston instead of the En-
pire city, are attempting to burden her with
"cIown of tborns" by their singing critic
isms. Anna Dickinson has never yet been
cowed by the wreathing sarcasm and pungent
thrusts of critics, and she will undoubtedly
overcome the faults in her great endeavor, and
ultimately surmount every obstacle which may
now stand in her way with forbidding pres
ence. The undsphlogisticated critics of the
Empire city, in their operose comments on the
play, have woefully failed to suppress a certain
amount of animus which ought to have. been
covered up, if they intended their criticism to
be effective.
Now let the eagle scream until his bird
ships voice fills the universe with the melody
of its music. Unfurl the flags and let them
tremble in the breeze until the canopy of
heaven is obscured by stripes and stars. Ring
out the wild bells until their jingle melts away
into one vast sea Of harmony. Let the festive
little mortal boom and bark until its merry
thunder rolls far to the inland and sweeps
across the sea. Let patriotism, that cd
which dwells within the hearts of all true free
men, burst its confines and carry everything
away in the rush of enthusiasm. And more
than all, let those who love the nation and its
flag exclaim, "God bless America in this CEN
tennial year, and may He bless us all.'
