wise: "When in after years this South

when it shall break away from this bond

ciled now and not half rs happy as when
they wore the grey uniform and were en-
gagged in the work Of tearing down the

all such. They were not sufficiently sub

gle to bring them freedom and happiness.

WE would not attempt to stay or COM
pete with the volubility of a blackguard,
for the Shiny flood, though impure, can do
no harm. For that reason we care but lit
tie for the ribaldry and abuse of the Demo-
cratic organ. 1t is not worthy of notice
but when it makes u plain statement, like
the following affecting our business inter
ests, we cannot pass it by in silence:
Three papers wcro more than Washington

controlling interest in THE REPUBLIcAS rs

We pronounce this statement, so far as 1t
relates to The REPUBLICAN, bold and iu-
deiensible ialsehood. If any person has
offered to sell the business interests of THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN il has been with
out consultation with, and without the
knowledge or consent of those holding a
majority Of the stock, and hence the sale
could not possibly have been followed by q
transfer even if bargain had been struck
by the contracting parties. We simply refer
to this matter now to put our contemporary
right, and, if il is not lost to all sense of honor
and decency, TO give ii an opportunity tC
correct its false andiniurious statement.

Mr.. DooRKEEpER FrELD-"Khizlar.aghan

Mr. DooRKEEPER FTELD--"K Khizlar-agha"
declined the other day to place Penn
sylvania crippled Union soldier on ths
"Disabled Soldiers Roll" because that
State, as he said, already had its quota.
This quota" we learn, consists of two men,
both of them soldiers, and good ones, no
doubt, but neither of them were disabled
during the war. 1t IS true one of them lost
leg in railroad accident, and the other
has the rheumatism but the applicant to
whom we refer lost leg in front of Peters
burg. He writes to us as follows:
~ found the New York quota also to consist
of two, both holding Certificates Of disability,
procured recently, and something after the
style Of Mr.. KSIGHT's affidavit regarding his
disability. Upon further investiga | found
that there are just three men ON the soldiers
roll, who, while serving in tho line of theil
duty in the Union army during the late war
received such wounds us in the opinion of thS
Pension Office entities them to bo considered

only ones by Law entitled 10 pay on this roll

The New York Times finds its hostility to
Senator CoNKLING irrepressible. 1t crops out
upon the slightest occasion, and is as unrea-
sonable as 1t is unjust in its utterances. The
Senator has abjured the fraud palmed of
upon him and the country by the New
York World, and yet the Times insists that
1t bears internal evidence of accuracy"
Whatever motive may impel the Times to
this malignant line of conduct toward Sena-
tor CosKIING, a due regard for Republican
opinion in New York and elsewhere would
counsel it to a more temperate and just
course toward that statesman.

disappointment Wednesday night. A cloud
Of them, like the locusts of Egyp, or u
shower of disgusting, warty toads in North
Carolina, overwhelmed the avenues of polit-
ical information seeking for news regarding

CoNKLrNs. According to their own admis-
sions, printed next morning, nearly every
respectable official to whom they applied
for an interview respectfully declined the
doubtful honor Of such contamination with
the stereotyped excuse, mot in" Thus it
happened these energetic, youthful Journal
lists from the wild, wild West filled their

more colored servants or doorkeepers. This

WHAT Is "CONsrITurIONAL MONEY :

WHAT Is "COSsTITUTlONAl MONEY ?'
To thoughtful observer Of the practical
working of legislation under form of gov
ernmcnt in which the supreme law is set
down in n written constitution, there is a
constantly phenomenon which
invites attention and threatens danger. A
close scrutiny discovers that this arises
from the elusive nature of the Sovereign
power" and the prOtcan facility with which
it is ever escaping from its constituted
ions. Not unfequently an attempt on the
part of the officials to exercise the unques-
toned prerOgatiyes Of thissupreme authority
discovers the usurpers of this sovereignty
securely entrenched behind constitutional
bulwarks This difficulty arises in great
measure from the rapid progress of civliza-
tion, which finds ever new uses forpower and
new forms for its activity, so that not
only are phrases but even ideas rendered
rapidly obsolete. The executive and legis-
lative departments of government are often
reduced to undigni1ed and precarious shifts
in their efforts to cope with and thwart
these new complications. Clauses and
words embodied in the constitution are put
to singular and unanticipated uses, aud the
ingenuity of the judges Is taxed to find in
words used by the trainers of the constitu-
ion provisions for contingencies, which
