THE NEWS OF TIE DAY.

1t is with Il pardonuhlc I'VE think self
satisfaction that We p0intto THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN as among the most successful
news-gathering journals in the country.
This boast is fully sustained blythe fact that
its columns in the past four or five weeks.
since the Title Investigation conspiracy he
gan TO develop itself have presented on the
instant Of accomplishment the ever varying
phases of tins absorbing subject And our
course in the premises has been far from
partisan, fer we have not scrupled on Oc-
Casion to give Democratic and Republican
news and views with equal prominence.
To illustrate, the interviews we have printed
lately have been plain and reliable rrproduc-
tions Of the views and spcculations of such
Democrats as McsSrs. WILLIAMS Mich.
BUCKNER, SPRINGER, LOCKWOOD FINLEY,
BLAIR, POTTER, and other Opposition
leaders. nrther, on Wednesday of last
week, we printed, exclusively Of all COM
petitOrs the Democratic tale that two of the
signatures OF the Louisiana electors had
been forged to the electoral certificate sent
to acting Vice President FERRY in 1S16.
and on subsequent days the full details OF
/ the alleged Archer Precinct and Alachua
| County frauds. This bit Of enterprise
served to aid the Democracy it Is true in
the effort to reopen the counts in Florida
and louisiana but THE REPUBLICAN, like
the Republican party, does not object to
that rcopcning, provided it is done for the
purpose of serving the ends Of equal and
comprehensive justice, and not to subscrv,
partisan interests alone. At the same tim,
the policy of meeting the Democratic
fraudulent cry OF fraud with serious and
truthful charges of real fraud was suggested
in these columns as the true one for the
Republican party. Our local news has alsC
been complete and up to the times, and offer
anticipating actual occurrences. 1t is tru,
our columns are short and narrow. but they
have been sufficiently large to accommodate
us in our desire to outdistancc all competi
tons in presenting news of such importan
incidents ~ the sO-called CONKLING-MiNE'
interview. the Mr!IN confession, the Den
Ms statement, the st. AnthOnN's Falls flour
mills fire, the TILnEN-BLAlR conspiracy
the Louisiana electoral certificate iorgcrics
the alleged completely Of AssOciatc-.Iustic
FIELD in the Title conspiracy, the full tex
of JEFF DAVIS Macon monument letter
the proceedings Of GLOvER's biundering in
vc,tigations, and the action of Couglcss re
garding District affairs, besides the routin
aud current news OF the Executive Depart
mrnts of the Government We repeat wha
we have said before: There is an obvi
Gus moral in these facts-One that appeal
to advertisers and subscribers, viz: tina
their wants are best subservcd by patromiz
ing the best newspaper in their community

TEE FARCE DEVELOPING.

The Democrats are beginning TO hedge
alre ady through their organs, and assure
the country that it is not HAYES that they
that has not as yet been named. The
Baltimore gazette says 1t is not the title
of Mr.. HAYES that is now at issue. If
the resolution, as proposed, he adopted,
and the committee appointed, and all the
suspected frauds proven incontcstibly, the
report of the committee would in no degree
unsettle Mr.. HAYES in his seat
If frauds have been committed they centre
in the President, and If he is not to I've dis
turbcd, what is the good of all this Demo-
cratic pow-wow? 1t makes the whole thing
a sheer farce to he laughed at and secuted
of the stage, and especially so when n wide
area Of election frauds are TO be condensed
into one or two States, where if any frauds
or wrongs have been pcrpetrnted, these sink
into insigniiicance when compared with
those Of other States to which investigation
is invited.
The real purpose of this latter-day move
ment Is fast becoming apparent through the
admissions of its friends and architects. A
long session of Congress has been frittcred
away by the fOllies, hlundCrs and pcrvcrs-
tics of a Democratic majority in the House,
until day for adjournment is talked of,
and then survey of the field shows that
nothing has been done comparatively dur
ing six months for the good OF the country.
Come tO look up their own record they dare
not face the people with it, and they now
resort t. Tie fraud resolution to raise II
smoke with which 10 envclop and hide
their shortcomings by attracting attention
thcrcirom through this new means Of eX-
citement and disturbance. When they ad-
nit that they do not propose to dis
turb the title of the President, they
strip their enterpri2c of its Cnuzc
and reveal it rs one of the most needless
scnselcss, and purposelcss Of all modern
| Democratic inventions to deceive and de-
lude the people They will fail to hide
their shortcomings and the responsibilities
therefor by any such COmtriyance as this
one. They will only add to the measure ol
popular distrust and contempt by this shal.
low attempt 10 cast dust in the eyes of the
people through scheme that has no object
or aim and hence involves II criminal waste
of valuable time while the country con
tinucs to suffer for the want Of relic,
through wise and just measures of leSisln
tinn. This last Democratic fraud upon til,
people is so transparent that it will utterly
fail to deceive the people, and its iniquitou
inventors will become the butt Of ridicu
and scorn throughout the entire country.

THE UNITED ,rATEs ARMY.

We observe that the Democratic reiOrmers
in the House are moving on the army from
q new point of attack. Finding that the
BANNING and BRAGG bills would not stand
on their own bottoms, they have been
turned over to the Appropriations Commit
tee, and Mr. HEWITT has attached them to
the army appropriation bill, which it is
supposed will pull them through or the APP
preparation bill under. Such course Of
legislatIOn to say the least Of it, is rrvOlu-
tionary, for it enables n small majority Of
the House, at it. pleasure tostOp the whce Is

change It after few comparatively in
formal meetings? 1t seems to us that sound
sense would dictate that this business
should be laid aside for the present, and
that n commission be appointed TO consist
of three Representatives, two Senators, the
Secretary of War, the General of the Army,
and one or two major or brigadier generals
of the army, to thoroughly investigate the
matter and report their views to Congress.
This is rational view of the subject, but it
may se that it is not what the party
wants. 1t is barely possible that instead of
having an eye to tho best interests of the
country they are looking to the next cleo
tinn
