fraudulent, solid rebel Democratic South
suppose that the power predicated upon IL
shall be exercisedp NICHOLS and WADE
HAMPTON, HILL, GoRDoS, and LANAI are
the mere creatures and spawn Of the rebel
lion. The position they occupy rests upon
the faith the people place upon the oath
they have taken to be loyal to the National
Government. What IL the nation should
proclaim that these men are insincere and
are rebel at heart, and are disqualified by
their practical disloyalty for retaining
their ofllcesH What will they do? And If
the rebel Democrats from the South, with
certificates from NICHOLS and WADE
HAMPTON and other rebel Governors, that
they have been sent from districts where
the Republicans have large majorities, but
who have been defrauded out Of their rights
by stuffing the ballot-boxes with tissue pa

the rebel South, do they expect to pass to
their seats unchallenged9 Is Mr.. ADAMS

and defy the power and intelligence Of the
nationr We shall sec. The NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN will do Its duty
and keep the people informed of the peril
to their interests. And we warn Speaker
RANDALL and Mr.. ADAMS and other DEM
ocrats sympathizing with rebellion, or who
were concerned in it, that they greatly mis-
take the temper of the people II there
shall be any endeavor to hoodwink or trifle
with the men who saved the Union, and
who do not mean that the disloyal Democ-
cracy shall cajole them into occupying
seats In Congress to which they were not
elected, and which they are not legally
qualified to fill. The frauds OF the South
have aroused the people of the North-they
are so mean and unblushing-and we prom
isc them to sound the tocsin and alarm
them the moment the danger appears.
National Republican., 1878-11-30

IT is remarked that the average Demo.
cratic Congressman now arriving in Wash
ington is absorbed with the consideration of
the appropriation bills. He thinks they
will be reported very soon in the coming
session, and will consume the time of the
House, especially to the exclusion of less i'm.
portant matters, such as the cipher-dispatch
Investigation, for example. Ho also thinks
that the material Interests of the country
demand much attention; that the people
want legislation of general character, and
that Congressman were not elected for the
purpose of rummaging around exploring
things, after the style Of GLovER's or por-
TER's smelling committees. 40, sir' That's
not statesmanlike-under these new lights.

WHETHER it is advisable or not, and no
matter how much it may he protested
against, 1t seems that the people are prone
to the discussion of the qualifications OF the
possible candidates for the Presidency in 1880.
At the so-called QUAY banquet, in Philadel-
pha, the other day, for example, this inclina-
ton was naturally developed for it was po-
litical dinner, and the guests were gathered at
the festive board for the deliberate purpose
Of hurrahing over the Republican victory in
the Keystone State. But the feature of the
occasion seems to have been a speech by Coll
onel MANN, alluding to the Republican ma
tional nominee. ave want he said, "a
" man like CoXKLING." "llip" responded
the crowd. 1--WE want" he went on, "a man
" like BLAINE" Hip! hip" was the re.
sponsc. "Or," he added, "a man like
" GRANT" Hip! hip! HooRoAR" was
the cry with which this exclamation was
grceted. And this, they say, is the record
OF the Presidential Thermometer In Penn
sylvania.

Now let us have GLOVER, the investi-
gator, investigated. At the close of the
last session there was a deficiency In the
contingent fund of the House, or that part
Of it devoted to the use OF his smelling
committee, and some of his witnesses and
experts" remained unpaid. One of the
latter, Professor julius KAMsCHATKA
IIELIoGABALus WILCOX, helped himself
to his pay, with GrovER's consent, and
probably with the connivance Of Clerk
ADAMS, out Of the fuel and oil fund. Let
us have some light on this questionable
transaction. II looks very much like bit
OF left-handed thievinc.

The almost forgotten, moth-eaten civil
rights act Is once more dragged into public
attention by decision OF Judge RIvEs, of
the United States District Court at Dam
vile, Va, that trials of cOlOred men by
juries from which coloTed men are excluded
are illegal because they are In violation of
that act The case before him, upon which
this decision was rendered, was not based
upon the omission of colored jurors by
chance or their exclusion by challenge, but
of their exclusion from the venire. In fact
the ycuiro had been made up for the trial
of the original case in the State courts Of
Virginia in accordance with the prevalent
custom in the South Of giving the "poor
" white trash and the "Chiv." the exclu-
sive privilege Of earning Jury fees, and OF
excluding colored citizens from all partici-
patton in one Of the most important prerog-
atves Of American citizenship. TWAS high
time for such decision, for this custom
plainly In violation of the law and the Con
stitution, has grown apace in the South
Judge RIvEs Is to be commended for hi'
action In the premises, and it Is TO be hoped
he will find many imitators on the bench in
| the South.

WHEN WADE HAMPTON begged for the
removal of the troops from South Carolina
he declared that his people only desired
" the establishment of n State government
which would secure TO every citizen, the
" lowest rs well US the highest, black as
" well as white, full and equal protection
in the enjoyment OF all his rights and a
great deal more Of the same kind of sham

Ton usurped the State government, the
legally elected Governor was deprived OF
his rights to that Office, and in the late
election more than 10000 black voters were
ruthlessly DISTINGUISHED. This Is one
among many, of the pertinent topics of dis.
cussion thrust upon President HAYES at
tention while he is writing his forthcoming
annual message.

IT is intimated that the President will
take the position toward Architect HILL
that the retention of q suspected person in
oh important official position is not con-
ducive to the public interests. We cannot
believe that this is correct intimation of
the views Of tho Executive, unless he be-
lieyes the Architect OF the Treasury guilty
in advance of conviction. The precedent

As the day for Resumption approaches
the confidence of the Treasury officials in
the ability Of the Government to meet all

more the privilege of a free exchange of
