Mn. MILLS, Of ToNR4. should seize his baggage
ard get out Of the Democratic party by the shortest
route ana on mn express train. He evidently don't
belong to that vile organization. lie has II mind Of
his own, and Isn't afraid To exercise II in his own
independent way Hushhsg'on HcpUWicm.
We unite in urging Mr.. MILLS to move at
once to the Republican camp. lie is too good
and pure, and he knows too much. His great
independent mind will never be at ease until
it throbs uniettCrcd upon the bosom Of the
party which stole the PrGsdcuCy.-Bditi
GI-site.
1t remains to be seen whether or not Mr..
MILLS will accept this notice TO quit rs au-
thcntic and seek more genial associations.
The Democratic party is no abiding place
for an American citizen who is intelligent,
Independent, patriotic, and loyal to the best
good ol the Government. A man to be a
Democrat must wear collar, give heed to
tho party lash, sink his seli.respect, his love
of country, his sense Of right, and utterly
abnegate and subordinate himself to his
party leaders. Then he will never become
too good and pure" or know too much" to
be worthy disciple of SAM RANDALL and

PLAYING FOR EVEN.

The highest ambition of q Southern Con-
federate Democratic member of Congress
appears now to be to invent, advocate, and
give success to some scheme, by which the
South can get even with the North. They seem
to regard the late unpleasantness between
the two sections of the country us yet un-
settled, and to think that the old scores of
that difficulty have become matters of book
account, to be evened up by any advantages
that may be taken of the people of the
North, in legislation or otherwise no mat
ter how ill-advised or unjust. The primary
purpose ofthess people appears to be to an
noy, embarrass, or oppress the Northern Sec
tion, by measures that will operate un-
equally or oppressively toward the people
of the loyal States during the period of the
rebellion. The spirit of enmity that led to
the endeavor to destroy the Government
docs not appear to have been placatcd
ltmny sleep; but it rankles in the heart of
the Southron while it appears to sleep, and
gathers venom for some future outbreak in
the mission of mischief and unlricndli-
ness. This has been specially manifest
in the discussion of the question of repeal
ing the bankrupt law The South is COM
parItiyely free from debt, while the North
is heavily encumbcrcd and embarrassed. The
North has need of the bankrupt law, while
the South has not, and hence its repeal was
strongly advocated and championed by the
South rs one of the means of getting even
with the North.
While the question of reducing the tax
on tobacco was under discussion recently in
the House, Mr. CABELL, of Virginia, became
very much excited because that proposition
was antagonizcd by those who regard it but
wise and just to make that product
pay its proportion of the national
debt. lie gave vent to his heated
feelings on tho floor, and then
retired to the cloak-room where he gave
them still more fresh and unguarded flow.
lie there declared in the hearing of
of our informant in substance, that if the
North resisted the reduction of the tax on
tobacco he should urge the imposition of an
income tax, for the reason that the North
had the business, the money, and the in
comes and in that way and with that un-
comfortable measure the South proposed to
get even MS far as possible. In this way
animosity is nursed instead of being
placated, and petty feeling of hate seems
to inspire acts of n vengeful character to-
ward the North upon every available op-
tunty. This is the plane of fraternity and
unity that is at present occupied by our
Southern brethren, and they are constantly
aggressive.

DorBriNG correspondent writes to us
to ask if the startling information" we
printed last week regarding Associate JUS
tice FIELDS suspicious visits to Titlc-Invcs-
tigator SPRINGER and TILDEN's agent, Mr..
MONTGOMERY BLAIR, was based upon ac-
tual occurrence. We reply that it was. Our
reporter, seeking news regarding the con-
spiracy, found himself confronted by Justice
FIELD at the residence of Mr.. SPRINGER
first, and then, at late hour of the night,
at the residence of Mr.. BLAIR The same
correspondent adds, with emphatic truth,
that such q charge, well sustained, against
"a Republican Justice of the highest tri-
"bunal in the country would not only
cause serious and unfivor,blo comments
among Republicans, but be the occasion
for loud-mouthed denunciation by Demo-
Gratis" All of which is very true; but it
has latterly become too much OF habit
among Republicans to rest quiet while their
opponents are scheming for their overthrow.
BELKSAr was mpeached-simply to make
Democratic political capital-on grounds OF
less apparent intention to commit grave
official crime than this mysterious connec-
tion OF Democratic Supreme Court Justice
with the TILDES revolutiOnists.

AITHorGH Mr.. MILLS, of Texas was the
author Of the resolution adopted by the
House of the Forty-lourth Congress, de-
nouncing the "cOunting-in" of President
HAYES rs irregular, he is the acknowledged
leader among the few Democrats who'now
propose TO stand by the proposition that the
Presidential contest was legally settled and
finally closed, despite the alleged Irregular
ity, by that Congress. There is commend
able evidence Of honorable and consistent
submission to the inevitable in this which
deserves TO be followed by other Democrats
as followed il will be if the party-whip docs
not drive the whole gang like so many

Repeal tho Limitation.

WAsHINGTON, d. c., May TO- l87A
To The Editor ofths National Repub(ican:
Sir: Senators and members Of Congress are free
to acknowledge the great injustice the Limitation
act confers upon the pensioner The question then
naturally arises why don't they mature and pass
bill at once granting arrears" The soldiers are
getting wonderfully tired Of furnishing campaign
music. feeling that II they are entitled to pension
granted after the limit that they are as justly en-
titled to receive from tho datS of disability or dis
charge, AZ the ones who applied day before the
quarters. How easily this could b. remedled by
paying the arrears due the soldier It would throw
INTO immediate circulation between sSOOO.OOo and
syOO0,0O0 which would relieve the financial dis.
tress OF many OF our merchants, beside granting

lies OF many CRIPPLED SOLDIERS

IT seems the Democracy in the House,
and out of it. are so suspicious of each other
that the leaders of the POTTER wing have
invoked the watchlul aid of the Democratic
organ to help them drive the reluctant
anti-Title Investigators back into the party
ranks. Whether this kind of journalistic
and partisan bull-dozing is effective remains
to be seen ; but 1t strikes the average mind
as an insult to the independence and intel
ligenCe Of these much-beleagurcd gentle
men. To illustrate: The organ says it
will have a sufficient corps of reporters
" in the gallery to note every Democrat who
votes on roll-call and fails to vote by pass
ing between the tellers." And again
" 1t were better for Democratic Congress-
:" man to have a milestone fastened to his
neck than for him to ask his people for n
" denomination after voting with the Rcpub-
" lcans to stihe an investigation" Growing
warm and impudent in this congenial SER
vice Of whip-lashing the recreants, the organ
inquiries, "What Democrat, seeing as he
does the White House tenanted by the
beneficiary of the great crime, can hesitate
for moment rs to his duty" "If such
"there be" it adds, does he not know that
"he will inevitably incur the opprobrium
"Of the charge that he has been bought by
"Mr. HAYES favor, as MCLIN was bought
"by his officers, and as others have been
bought by his promises or his money ?"
Then it goes to the extreme of advising and
demanding a violation of the obligations of
honor entered into by Democratic members
who are paired with their Republican
cotemporaries There is more significance
in this frantic appeal for aid to Mr. PoT-
TER than appears at first glance. 1t shows,
in fact, that the POTTER resolution is so re-
pugnant to all idea of equal justice and fair
play that even Democratic partisans, vio-
lcntly prejudiced as they are, hesitate to
