HAMPTON AND A MULE.

The New York World demands of the
people of the North high degree of respect
for Governor HAMPTON, of South Carolina,
for the reason that his mule ran away with
and seriously injured him; aud because
some papers do not in the midst of this
calamity conceal their contempt for him, it
denounces the remarks made as "ruflianly
sneers." That may answer the purposes
of the World, but leaving the refractory
mule out Of the question HAMPTON has not
very fragrant or admirable record before
or since he usurpcd the executive chair of
South Carolina. His bankrupt record is of
sufficient depravity to iriglten a mule,
while his conduct during the late election
in which the State of South Carolina was
stolen by fraud and appropriated TO Demo-
cratic use, under his very eye, and with the
aid Of his militia and his own subordinate
officials, leaves him MS bare of honor and
respect as an infant chicken is of feathers.
II he or his friends would claim respect for
him, they must present brighter purer,
and more patriotic record than his history
affords up to the time that unruly mule
took charge of his destiny. Even fright
encd and runaway mule cannot make
HAMPTON appcaras an angel of light in the
eyes Of loyal aud honest people.

THE PLUSDEREH WAR,

Our hghly-rgspcctcd cOtcmporary, the
Washington Post, Is moved to say:

BALTIMORE
The editor of The WAsHISGTON REPUBLI-
CAN has undertaken to show from the records
of fifty or sixty years of Democratic admins
tratiOn that the most skillful and industrious
thieves ever developed in this country were of
the Democratic persuasion. As soon as he gets
through we will astOnish him. We have ap-
piled to tho Treasury Department for Il de
tailed list Of the official Republican thieves aud
defaultcrs who have favored the country with
their attentions since 1861. Owing to the lin
tied appropriation for clerk hire aud tho
amount Of labor involved, the document will
not be ready before the LIST of next month.
Meanwhile we have sent commissioner into
South Carolina, Louisiana, and Georgia to as
certain the sum total stolen by Republican Of
iicials during the carpet-bag regime, and have
commenced to gather statistics concerning tho
peculatLOns and TUbberies of the GRANT whisky
rings, tho rascaliticS OF army paymasters,
quarter masters, post traders, and custom house
cliques. We doubt whether the Republican
party will be able to exist after we afford it
facilities for introspection.- Baltimore Gazette
We entertain the opinion that our Balti-
more cotemporary has at no time been as
useiully engaged on editorial duty as it is
now, in searching the public records for
plunderers of all sorts. We commend it to
the noble work it has in hand. 1t already
begins to feel a crippling influence upon its
efforts at the Treasury Department that
comes Of Democratic parsimony which has
crippled every Department Of the Govern
ment during tho yes,-
It appears from the above extract that
council of war has been held on the Demo-
cratic side of this question, and that an
armistice is called Tor until fresh stock Of
National Republican., 1878-12-05

ammunition can be secured by the enemy.
Another thing is made apparent in this
pooling Of isues by the two Democratic
journals that have put their heads together
in this controversy, that Democrats in this
matter verify the trite saying, "Other birds
" fight in focks, but the eagle fights his
battles alone" Under this Democratic
alliance Of foul birds against us, we de-
sire to remark that we fight this battle
after the manner of "Old Bullion" solitary
and alone, amid the ieers and taunts of our
opponents.
The Gazette initiated this war had the
selection of the ground, and opened fire, for
the reason that we remarked on the ap-
proach of Congress that 'the plunderers are
coming" 1t has exhausted its ammuni-
ton and sends in flag of truce asking
time to ransack the Treasury and to invade
the late rebellious States, where plumber is
reduced to science and disloyalty is taught
in their institutions Of learning with the
aid Of histories forged from the reasonable
and rebellious sentiments and principal Of
eminent Southern men.
We have plenty Of ammunition for our
side, and may send over an occasional charge
during this armistice to remind the enemy
that we are still in field.
National Republican., 1878-12-05

WHILE the leading Southern journals
which have printed and commented on the
Presidents message make no effort to deny
its statements relating to the wrongs in
flicted upon the colored voters Of the South,
they attempt weak justification Of these
wrongs under the assumption that few
manufacturers in New England, during the
late election, intimidated their employees
into voting the way they desired. If this
be true, as alleged, the cases are not at all
analogous. These manufacturers had no
armed red-shirtcd rine-clubs to enforce their
dictates; neither did they resort to violence
in any degree to influence the votes of those
in their employ. But, for argument sake,
admitting they did all these things, It af-
fords no justification for the wholesale dis
frinchisement Of n race because they elect
not to vote the Democratic ticket. 1t is of
this that the President and the country
complain, and when the truth Is known it
will appear that there has been no organ
lied or unorganized system Of intimidation
or coercion Of the voters during the late
election in any section Of the North. That
plan of justification for Southern outrages is
all bosh.
National Republican., 1878-12-05

Republicans permitted the violent ex-
tinction Of the Republican party in the
South, the expulsion of loyal men as car
pet-baggers, and the appearance Of numer-
ous unreconstructed rebel Democrats on the
floor Of Congress from Republican majori-
ties; and they welcomed them as If they
had answered their invitation. And when
the inevitable result Of such treachery
developed the South rs an armed camp
ready to attack the national troops If the
were not removed from the rebel States, to
place the unelected TILDEN In the White
House, the nation was found to be powerless
to protect itself, because the force bill had
been defeated, which was measure neces-
sary to restrain the defiant disloyalty of the
South, which the opponents Of the force
bill had by its defeat actually abetted.
The solid rebel South has now become
menace to the safety of the Republic.
And what Is proposed2 The wisest
craftsmanship is needed and needed
at once to prevent the Southern
rebel Democracy from reaping advantage
from their own crimes. The South Is aim
ing at the next Presidency and the control
of the National Government; and to-day,
with the Northern Democrats, is in charge
Of the House. Next session the Senate
passes under Democratic control, and by
Southern frauds at the polls rebel Demo-
Gratis will present themselves for admission
to the next House. These treacherous
representatives who were so much wiser
than their party and than the army, who
periled life and limb to save the Union,
have turned the success of the Union arms
into defeat Of the nation and have handed
over to the enemy all the fruits of the war.
Surely something is due to people thus de-
ceiyed and who have been faithful to the
cause of freedom; and we shall watch with
anxiety to see what part those Republicans
will play who have brought about this great
disaster,

THE NorristOwn Herdh is not altogether
funny" newspaper, as its-casual reputa-
tion would indicate. 1t is serious paper,
in some respects, and generally inclined to
the demonstration of Stalwart Republican
ideas. In recent issue il arraigns the
Southern Democracy for their evident in
gratitude to President HAYES, but admits,
as every sound reasoner will, that the
white people" of the South should natur-
ally prefer the Democratic party to the
Republican" This admission Is based
upon the correct assumption that the Re-
publican party preserved the Union which
the white people aforesaid endeavored to
destroy, and raised to citizenship the race
which they fought TO retain in slavery
These facts alone are sufficient to keep the
ex-savehOldcrs in the Democratic ranks
But they do not and cannot justify any re-
course to violence and prescription in the
conduct of elections in the South. The
Hcrdld, this not always funny paper, adds
this pertinent and earnest comment
1t is no defense to say that the Republicans
who complain Of fraud are none too good to
commit fraud themselves. If Republicans
have broken the laws there are courts and
prosecuting officials, entirely in the control of
the Democratic party, TO bring the offenders to
Justice. II the South is to be solid in defense
of frand, If it Is TO he united in maintaining
the doctrine that Republicans have no rights
which DrmOcrats are bound to respect, the
most ultra partisan will not deny that South
ern supremacy is the gravcst danger that can
threaten the people of the United States.
