THE FATE IN STORE FOR GLOVER.

Poor little Glover is still laboring ener-
getically to attain to the summit of the
ridiculous of this ridiculous Democratic
House. If he fails of success it will be
solely because he is outdOne in the same
line by some Democratic brother whose
opportunities are greater. 1t will afford
scant comfort to the rampant shrIekers for
the impeachment of Secretary Robson to
find in the Hon. Fl. o. Pratt an exact con-
trast to Glover Calm, clear, deliberate,
the powerful mind of Mr.. Pratt punctures
each bubble let loose from the frothy
Glover, and the collapse leaves nothing but
a spot of not over clean debris for the little
man to gather up and present to his masters.
Mr.. Pratt is an eminently firm man, not to
be misled or intimidated. A careful
analyzer, thorough reasoner, a keen de-
batter, first class lawyer, an honest poll
tician, fearless champion of right, stable
and steady in all things, above suspicion
both in his public and private life, an elo-
quent orator, what fatality to overshadow
the diminutive Glover by the mental,

all to pieces. The lightning of discord was
flashing from face to face, and the rumble
of discomfort was running through the
Democratic side of the House. Matters
were getting serious; something "reli-
gious" had to be done; something which
seldom fails in political stress of weather,
so they said, "Let US take up contribu-
" ton from the poor, hard worked, half
fed Clerks
The truth is the Democratic author of
this scurrilous article cannot hear "cheap,
6. sentimental talk about operporked and
underpdid Government clerks" without
a lying protest; but he has no word of
complaint when the Hills and Blackburns
and fuckers fout in the Northern and
Union face that the war and its miseries
and debts are chargeable to the Northern
people, and that the State of New York
had its "Andersonville" at Elmira. He
takes this as meet JUNCTION to his soul, and
he and they, with unholy design, are now
seeking to get control of the Government
in order that they may undo, vacate and
annul all that has been done and suffered
during the EAST sixteen years, and then
turn it over to the men who for five years
sought to destroy it-who now submit be-
cause they dare not rebel, and who to day
inwardly hate the people of the North and
the Union as bitterly and intensely as they
did at Bull Run and Antietam.

SINCE the unfortunate death of Lucius
Il. Chandler the Republicans of the State
of Virginia have had no more effective rep
resentative on the stump than Isaac ID.
Shields, ESQ.,. of Richmond. The lamented
Chandler was one of the most eloquent
orators and active speakers that the party
ever had in its service. In the Northern
States, as well as in the South, his voice
was often heard before his death in behalf
of loyalty and the Republican cause. That
Mr.. Shields is his legitimate and most capa
Bile successor no one who has ever heard
his ingenious and eloquent speeches in
behalf of the same cause will deny. In
the coming campaign Mr.. Shields will take
prominent part and will deserve, as he
will win, the active encouragement of
every good Republican.

ACCORDING to the Washington CORE
spondent of the New York World, the
Louisiana Democracy, as represented in
this city, is well pleased with the nomina-
tons on the Democratic ticket of that
State. "a graduate of West Point, says
this correspondent, serving with distinc-
ton in the Confederate army, in which
" he attained the rank of brigadier general
" and lost an arm and leg in the battles
"around Richmond, he is held in high es-
timation in his native State as lawyer
"of ability, citizen of irreproachable
character and statesman in whose keep
" ing the destinies of Louisiana can safely
"be trusted" In other words, a man
who has foresworn himself, proved to be a
traitor to his country and its flag, is a citi-
zen of irreproachable character and a
statesman in whose keeping the destinies
of a State may safely be trusted. This is
good Democratic doctrine, and the World
should at once reward its correspondent for
having enunciated it at this particular
juncture. If it does not, the Republican
party can afford TO.

TEXAS POLITICS.
A Few Words About Ex Governor Davis.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2S, 1876

WASHINGTON, D. c., July IS, 1876.
To the Editor ofthe National Republican:
SIR: In yom issue of to-day you unwIttingly.
I think, do Ex-Governor Davis, of Texas,
great injustice by charging him with having
injured the Republican party in Texas ire
parably through lukewarm and treacherous
policy during his administration of the Gov
ernment of Texas. In saying this I am sure
you have committed mistake and inflicted
great wrong upon true and worthy Republi-
can. Instead of Governor Davis, Sin whom
tine party confdes its highest trusts" and in
whom it yet confdes to the fullest extent, as
shown by his unanimous reelection as chair
san of the State executive committee,
:'proving himself to be weak, impotent and
conservative in his administration" It was
active, vigorous, and in many instances
blindly radical. And as for ''courting the
favor of the White Lire element and perse-
cutting the loyal and staunch men of the

AFTER the partisan vote yesterday, by
which Goode, the cheeky intruder, was
seated for the remainder of this Congress,
that first-class fraud. Gilbert C. Walker,

tons. They are a pair of worthless
Goode, who holds q seat by reason of a
partisan majority, to which he is no more
entitled than the King of the Sandwich
Islands, and Walker, whose blank and
expressionless face, made up on the prin-
ciple of q doll-baby. to be looked at AMI

his face is of intelligence, hobnobbing over

THE attempt to prove that President
Grant entered into the prosecution Of the
whisky ring reluctantly has failed. 1t rests
almost entirely on the testimony of the dis
charged detective Ysryan, and now it turns
out that Bluford Wilson, the acknowledged
"bos," of the an'i-Admlnistration con-
spirators, has been guilty of an effort to
destroy the records which prove the Presi-
dents assiduous attention to this subject
OF course Wilson has an explanation to
make, but the fact remains that if it had
not been for a fortuitous circumstance the
let no-guilty man-escape letter would have
disappeared from the Government archives

party" can only say that this is another un-
intentional Misrepresentation of the truth.
When the Democratic Congressman from
Texas read this 1 am quite certain they
laughed at vonr Innocent attack on q man
whom they despise politically for having done
just what you are condemning him for failing
to do. The White Line element of whom
you speak would rather see his Satanic
Majesty in the Executive chair of the State
than to have the quiet, unassuming, but
manly and determined Edmund ]. Davis oc-
cupying it. 1t was through the weakness,
cowardice and imbecile conduct of Webster
Flanagan and B. Rush Plumly-the latter an
Abolitionist of forty years standing-and
other pretended radicals, such as w. 7.
Clark and s. B. Sabin, who were either jealous
of Davis or ambitious of political preferment,
and thought by advocating liberal policy and
crying down military government their own
selfish and dishonest schemes would be pro-
portionately advanced, and l fear these very
same men or their friends are responsible for
these false and base misrepresentation which
appear in the columns of your paper of this
date. l simply state the truth when l say
Governor Davis is the strongest and most pop
ular man in the Republican party in Texas to-
day, and he has always enjoyed their conf
deDce, and certainly he could not stand so
well with his party If what you say of him is
true. AS Republican of Texas and as a
friend of Governor Davis l have felt it my
duty to address you this communication.
Yours, most respectfully. II. E. C.

moral and physical magnitude of Pratt
The ex Confeds misteok the man. Quiet
and observant, he is so dismetricslly the
opposite of the raging, noisy leaders of the
majority that they did not dream Of the real
metal of the man or they never would have
committed the egregious blunder of putting
Glover in his power. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Pratt will let himself be heard
upon the floor before adjournment, when
he goes to open the campaign in Maine. 1t
would afford pleasure to those ofhis numer-
Gus friends here who have never heard one
of his electrifying speeches, and it would
be bombshell in the camp of the enemy,
while little Glover would be but as a puppy
in the lions claws.

WHEN President Grant gave permission
to THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN to make
public his Endorsement upon the Barnard

charges and insinuations had already been

which proves that the President at no time

IT IS GENERALLY conceded that our

Whether this is the fault of the present

Ex-Governor Gilbert c. Walker said the
other evening at the Tammany ratification
meeting "that if he had been Governor of
South Carolina during the Hamburg horror
somebody would have felt hemp in mighty
short time" This sounds very so so, but it
does not compare well with the record Of the
Governor. Shortly after Mr.. Walker was
elected by the Conservatives of Virginia mob
of White Liners collected in Northumberland
county, and, after beating colored citizens and
pillaging their houses, they finally murdered
negro in cold blood. After great difficulty the
ringleaders of the mob were arrested and in
carcerated in Richmond. They had been in
prison but short time when Governor Walker
turned them over to the local authorities, and
they were soon discharged. When Mr.. Walker
turned these men over to the local authori-
ties he knew full well that he was placing
them in the hands of their friends, and that
they would escape punishment. They were
his friends, and he rendered them a service.
This is the way the Governor made these muir
derers feel hemp.

than humane. There is a tinge of blood
thirstiness and animal spirit about the sug-
gestion which does not agree with our code of

Sheridan believes of Indians, that the only
good one is a dead one. Without the Demo-
Gratis the Republicans would not experience
that delightful sensation which comes of
its regular triumphs at the ballot-box.

until after November. Then the Democrats
will be go scarce that it will not pay to hunt
