Mr.. Herman, the distinguished Democratic

truth penetrate the mystery of this Oregon

With section piece ofthat So, 900, which Mr..
Kernsn would pronounce legal fees, he &C

Every community is infested by this ON
niVerUus family, whose representatives. pene-
trate everywhere, preying upon its vitals and
seeking to destroy the regulations and charac-
tiers OF its members. Like their vulgar proto-
types, they reject all wholesome sliment and
crave the tainted refuse of the camp, thriving
best on intimatiops and innuendos of evil
thrown out concerning some good man who
has previously been thought we'll of, and who
has qualities rendering him worthy of the
general esteem, which they find lacking In
themselves. Such insinuations are rich me,,u
to their tastes, and fill them with the glut of
feasting. And when it happens that there Is
whisper against the fair fame Of one whose
good name they have not hitherto dared to
attack, they receive the germ of shame with
easerness and roll It as q sweet morsel under
their tongues, uttering such president words
as these: 81 told you sc" 81 thought IL would

greater joy from the circumstance than they
would feel If score of persons had been re-
deemed from reproach and returned to their
places among honorable men. Their element
Is evil, and good is their bane. To poison the
minds of men against those of whom they have
before had good opinion is the special mis-
sion of these agencies of the devil, lurking for
opportunities to spread or beget malice and
mischief in the byways Of life, that they may
be thus converted into avenues Of death
Such as these are always persons whose
plane OF ability ranges midway between me-
diocrity and imbecility, and whose lives glide
along in the barren wastes of idleness or of
routine duty, with no occasion for the use of
intellect, If they had any, and with nothing to
employ their leisure but the eliminations of
scandal and envy. One of these will tell you
in q trice all the weaknesses of each particu-
lar person within the circle of his acquafnt-
ance, personally or by reputation; will mar
rate the full catalogue Of his irregularities or
indiscretions, as communicated from mouth to
8 mouth among them, without there being the
slightest foundation in fact for any imputa-
ton, and without shadow of evidence Of the
truthfulness of the accusation. But II either
or all the persons mentioned had just per-
formed good act, without ostentation or
wish to be conspIcuously credited with it, you
would never hear q breath Of the fact through

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1877-01-15

The reasonable plotters who threaten to
override the Constitution and established pre-
cedents fume and rage and rant and paw their
pens deep into the liquid blackness of the ink
stand, and swear vengeance gloomy and fore
boding, because we announced recently that
any person who incites or sets on foot insur-
rection or armed resistance to constituted
power will be clapped into limbo so quick that
It will make their heads swim.
It is very natural that these scheming con-
spirators should not like to have the law and
the certainty of its fulfllmnt in case of q
breach presented to them in the very teeth of
their nefarious schemes. 1t places them be-
fore the country in light their guilty con-
sciences cannot endure. 1t ct once points out
. specified and summary remedy for the un-
constitutional, revolutionary, and reasonable
disease with which they are designing to in
feet the country. 1t is holding them up before
the people as execrable fools and would be
traitors to the supreme law of the land.
The Republican party is ready to stand by
the forms of law and the Constitution COM
bined with its traditional powers in settling
the great Presidential question. It will stand
by these as 1t stood by the Union-irm as the
EVERLASTING hills; true a. the needle to the
pole. The tricks Of demagogues and the
schemes Of party leaders, backed by mob Of
reasonable eonspirators, aiming to seize upon
ABSOLUTE power, will be bafiied. The Consti-
tuition, the forms of law, justice, equity and
the Republican party stand as insurmountsble
obstacles in the way Of one of the most trea-
sonable plots to overcome public servants in
the constitutional discharge of their RESPONSE
Bile duties that was ever Matched to curse q
nation and disturb its needed peace.
Constitutional liberty Is religiously cherished
by the Republican party. Traditional powers
and presidents have a respect as strong and
lasting. Neither Of these bear proof that Con-
gress has the power or right to veto the cleo
ton Of President made by tn ELECTORAL Col
leges. These colleges have made their choice.
1t Is Rutherford B. Hayes. The Republican
party must see that he is inaugurated.

has cost their party whatever of respect aud
sympathy it had enjoyed from honorable and
decent men. Add this last,to the three mil
lion they spent in the canvass, and you have

bankrupt in money and character.

Mr.. Hewitt and the warIike Men.


Abram Hewitt hesitates. He pauses before
giving his consent to inundate Washington
with the one hundred thousand unarmed plug
uglies, thugs and bullyraggers, with a smat-
tering of respectable Democrats, which Henry
Watterson, John Thompson & Co. have com
missioned for that purpose. 1t.seems to be .
case, too, wherein he who hesitates Is lost.
The wah members of the party have become
bitter towards Mr.. Hewitt since he has shown
a disposition to condemn the proposed demon
stration. They have been goadng him with
the spurs Of stern rebuke and chatting him
with taunts and derision until he sought frees
dom from his tormentors by fleeing to the
bosom of Samuel for consolation and rest.
Last night It was reported that even The
bosom of Samuel has its thorns, aud thu
Tflden chided him smartingly for opposing
the coming of Mr.. Watterson's unarmed
lambs to the city of Washington.
This leaves Mr.. Hewitt severely stabbed b
the house of his friends. 1t was no more than
we expected. The Democracy are at crisis
now where defeat stares them in the face,
and the old mad and foolish fire which plunged
the country in fratricidal war fifteen years
ago once more inspires the copperhead faction
of the party. The destiny of the organizatlon
is in the hands of this element. They are des-
perate, and willing to use desperate means 10
accomplish their ends. Henry Watterson' 8
''unarmed lamb" demonstration is one of those
means, and any opposition to it will be net
with scornful rebuke from the Bourbon North
men conspirators. Mr.. Hewitt offered op-
position, and, being driven away from Wash-
ington by the contempt of the "wsh" m3n-
bers of the party, he fed to Tlden as his only
refuge, and there, too, he was forced to cxf in
agony, at tu Brute?" for it is said that IN
denis rekuke was more severe than that Of
the others. From all appearances the s.Hsh"
members of the party have a controlline In
fuence in the management of the Presidential
fight. a

The sub Committee on the Powers, PriyI-

conversation with Secretary Chandler on Bat
urdsy. He had been summoned to tell The
committee about certain kilograms sent by
him South during the canvass of the vote.
They expected great developments. Their
expectations were not realized. Secretary
Chandler told them that he did tell Gov.
Stearns, Of Florida, that troops would be 5ont
there TO preserve the peace during the count.
This was proper. The troops were sent and
peace secured. When they attempted b

The Louisiana auddle.

With ten THOUSAND armed men tho Nichols
faction in Louisiana has seized the power Of
the State by revolution. It is another eyt-
dence of the lawless, revolutionary, violent
character OF the Democracy. In the midst of
an investigation by the authority OF the Con.
gress Of the United States, and while the
question was awaiting settlement through
the channels of the law, these armed men
seized the courts and placed men on the
bench who have no legal right to the positions.
The mobs who are SO easily controlled by
Nichols in carrying out his usurplns scheme are
product of all mixtures of population under
Spanish, Portuguese and the old buccaneer
rule. They are ignorant, violent and blood
thirsty. Their way of settling all disputes ID

Saxon tongue, and they would As soon have .

Those who are for the gamblers are against
the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. They have
combined in Q wicked and base conspiracy
against the interests of this paper. Writhing
under the smsrting lashes which this paper
laid on their guilty backs, they have become
desperate, and are raising heaven and earth in
their attempt to svenge themselves. They
grasp like drowning men at straws for

weapon in selfdefense. They do not stop at
base perjury; they even concoct vile schemes
and swear to them. Every honest man who
carefully reads the testimony and examines
this fight from fits beginning will readily con-
ceive that the gamblers are at the bottom Of
the police investigation now being prosecuted
in the halls of the Capitol. The detectives
who have testified bear every evidence Of
being under their subtle power. The
gamblers, in their desperate struggle
to ayenge themselves for tho injury
they have received by the crushing blows Of the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, do not pause ct any
deed They want blood; they want their
pound of flesh; they want to slack their
vengeful thirst in the gore of those who have
laid them low and brought them suddenly be-
fore the bar Of public opinion for trial. In the
testimony oftheir allies, the detectives, who
have rendered perjured testimony, they find
a temporary triumph. This will be of short
duration. When the truth Is known, As it
must be known from the alpha to the omega
of this combination of crime and criminals,
these men with their detective allies
will find that there is no rest for
the wicked. We warn all towards, skulkers

now visible In New Orleans. A few weeks ago
q member Of the Legislature elected by Repub-
lican constituency announced, after holding the

think he was legally elected, and would there
fore resign. He took special pains to throw mad
ut the Returning Board. Now comes another
one, Brown, Of Vernon, who writes letter to the

believe the Returning Board honestly returned
him. He was elected BY Republican eonstitu-
epcy. A man with only one eye and that shut
