Den BUrLER's CAMPAIGN.

We believe THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
was the first newspaper in the country to
divine and map out for publication Ben
BUrLERs more recent political designs.
We predicted several months ago, when
he first began TO make an exhibition
of himself, rs il were, in the POTTER
committee. that he would seek the Gov
ernorship of Massachusetts this year
and the Presidency in lssO and point
ell out as one of his sources of main reliance
the Catholic vote of the country. BY the
Catholic vote we referred to those voters of
the Roman Catholic faith who permit their
devotion to the interests of the Church 10
outweigh all political considerations. BIT
LER was smart enough during and since the
war to become the especial champion of
many Catholic institutions in different Sec
tions of the country, especially in the matter
of obtaining appropriations for them
in Congress. The Boston Pilot, the
leading Catholic organ in Massachusetts,,
now supports him for Governor, aud will,
as matter of course, support him in all Of
his future aspirations.
But we now venture the prediction that
he will fail in his present contest. lie can
not depend upon all of the Catholic vote,
intelligent to be deceived by his demagogi-
cal pretensions of friendship for the Church,
and it is becoming apparent that his candi-
dacy has aroused an unexpected or unusual
interest in political affairs among a class Of
citizens who have never before heen in the
habit of attending the polls The intelli-
gent reader will grasp the situation at once.
KEARNEY's advocacy of BUTLER has
aroused this class of citizens to due sense
of their responsibilities, and the progress
BUTLER has made-or the showing OF pro-
gress-by his petitions has frightened them
with the bare possibility of his success
They have accordingly stepped down from
their positions of exalted and self-suflicient
Indifference to take an active part in the
pending campaign.
Besides this BUTLER has lost much of his
grip upon his former Republican followers
He has declared most emphntically that he
belongs to "no party" and is distinctly
and unequivocally an independent candi-
date in every sense that the word independ-
cnt implies. Ex-Collector SIMMONS is a fair
illustration of the kind of stalwart Repub-
licans who have been driven away from him
by this declaration. At the same time he
has made very little headway with the
Democrats, whose party discipline and strict
adherence to partisan dictalion is more no.
table in Massachusetts, than in any other
State in the Union. In short, BUTLER has
swung himself into the stream with the
current directed Enthusiastically toward the
mouth Of Salt River He has raised the
llag of political piracy over his ship-load of
personal adherents, composed of Kearney
ties and sad mixture of dead-beats aud
political freebooters generally, all of whom
he will land safely and surely on its saline

NORTHERN "HoMEs" IN VIRGINIA.

Of Pennsylvania making n glowing exhibit
Of the peculiar advantages of the soil and

the industrious farmers Of Pennsylvania to

the picture is fascinating, That is all very

HAMPTON roR vICE-pREsIDENr.

The month Of December, 1s7G, ut Column
bia, S. c., will ever I've remembered by those
who witnessed the exciting scenes incident
to the meeting of the Electoral College
then in session in that city. The streets
were filed with regularly organized rifle
club militia, the hotels and private dwell
ings, as well as the buildings at the fair
grounds, were converted into barracks for
the time being, and the capital of the State
presented every appearance Of q great mill
tary camp. The invading (?J soldiery were
eX-Confederate veterans who carried, and
knew how to do it, their blankets twisted
in rolls and slung across one shoulder,
while their haversacks and accoutrements
were bclted about them at all times, and
their arms were stacked at convenient
points, ready for any emergency. They
seemed and acted like veteran command
in light marching order, prepared for an
agreeable though bloody duty. The
meaning of this arllke gathering was
determination to wrsst the State govern
ment from the lawful control of the Repub-
lcan party and vest it in the hands of the
usurper HAMPTON. Some idea of the spirit
which controlled the leaders of this rebol-
lious uprising may be CLEANED from the
tenor OF tho following dispatches sent from

known in his youthful days as "thc chee-ild

would commend him to public favor on the

In regard to the Louisiana outrages, a gentleman
recently from New Orleans who Is thoroughly &C.
quainted with the recent political history Of that

Democracy has had full control Of the courts and

has been made TO bring TO Justice the murierers of
Henry Plnkston and his child, and those guilty OF
of November L. 1876. Immediately after Eliza
Pnkston closed her testimony, she identified four
men who were among those who murdered her
husband and child. But IN n State where politics
is science no attempt is made to punish these

THEcoprophagous tendencies of the Wash

moral ground from which to make any po-
litical deductions, or upon which to frame
any clevnting influences, in the mixed con-
Sition Of affairs; on the contrary, it con-
tents itself with a hodgc-podge Of personal

Orr information from the second Con-
gressiOnal district in Virginia is OF the most
gmtiiyiug character. The Republican part y
is being put under thorough and efficient
organization, Our friends are united, har-
monious, and Jealous. Major DEZENDORF,
the Republican nominee, Is very popular
with all classes, and is applying himself
with much energy to the canvass, and
where some detection and lukewarmness
had been anticipated there now appears
TO be the fullest accord of feeling
and concert of action. The Government
officials are IN harmony with the desire for
Republican success, and will do all in their
power consistent with the civil-seryice order
to promote that end. Under such circum-
stances the canvass is exceedingly auspi-
cIOus, and If fair count is secured the de-
feat of GOODE is Inevitable. This point
must be guarded by the most vigilant and
StudiOus care The entire Republican vote
must be rallied in the contest and DEPOSITED
in the ballot-bOX, and then let the enemy,
if he dare, undertake to subvert or stifle
the popular Judgment The Republicans OF
the second district have large legitimate
majority OF the votes, and nothing short OF
the most shameless and bare-iaced frauds

SIGNS OF rEACE NNp HARMONY.

The New York Tribune is responsible for
the following statement, which every true
friend of the Republican cause will sincerely
hope to fIl verified in the future history OF
our national politics
An active Republican from New York State,
who called on the President Just before his de.
parture for the West, referred In conversation
to the rumOrS Of wholesale removals of Federal
officers in the State, and expressed the hope
that nothing would be done that would look
like war on Senator COSELISG or his friends
The gentleman said that he was not CoSK-
LING man, aud would prefer the election of
seine other Republican in his place, but he did
not believe that tho President OF the United
states had any right to interfere in favor OF
one faction in the Republican party In New
York or against another. He had been opposed
to 1t when General GRANT made war on ex-
Governor FESTOS's friends, and he was op.
posed to 1t now. The President replied that
hO agI eel perfectly with what the gentleman
had said, and that he WAS determined TO know
nothing of factiOnal contests In the Republican
party.
II this line Of policy had been pursued
by the Administration from the day of its
Inauguration to power much protitless mis-.
understanding and consequent bad blood in
the Republican party in New York and
elsewhere would have been saved. But it
is exceedingly gratifying to feel assured
that this spirit ofgood feeling and universal
generosity of action has settled down upon
the Presidential Office even at this era
fractional spirit is bad enough in its incep-
ton, but when it is nurscd upon the breas,
of power it grows maryelously in its capac.
ity for mischief
