WASHINGTON, d. e., July 2s, 1873.
To The Editor Of he National Republican,
SIR; AsI have seen Il reported In the uewspa-
pers that General Palmer, late Governor of ILL
nois, Is 10 be examined before the Potter COM
mittee on Monday next, and as he now pro.
fesses TO be one Of the most radical Of States
rights Democrats and great aimiror Of the
Whispering mummy" 1t may not DO uninter-
csting to the public to lcarn tho extreme op-
posite sentiments entertained by this gentle
man as late as 1865.
While In command Of tho department OF
Kentucky, Ia 1885, number of prominent
loyal citizons and officers OF the army sta
toned at Lexington, KY, invited General
Palmer to deliver an address on the political
situation. lie complied with their invitation,
aud In an address occupying several hours, In
response TO an inquiry from an officer In the
audience as to whether the army should be
used TO interfere In the elections which were
then about to take place In that State las thu
Democratic press throughout the country
were charging that tho army was being re-
tained there after the war had closed for tho
express purpose Of controlling the elections in
the interest Of the Republican party, he made
use Of the somewhat remarkable language;
u rere a soldier, rih mnsket in my hands,
standing at the polls, and sdw a rebel approach
ing rith the mfeution Of poti,q, / should arrest
him on the spot, and, II need be, shoot hin. dOTA."
Mr. Editor, comment Is unnecessary.

THE Raleigh IN. c. Obscrrer was badly
reconstructed when the war closed. II was
a very bungling sort OF job, without form,
comcliness, or harmony of spirit It sur
rendered to the fate of war, but continues
to make war on the conditions of the sur
render. This does not tend to foster the
harmoniss or promote the ends of peace
conciliation, nor pacifcation seem to avail
anything in the way of calming its per-
turbed spirit. II now declares from the
depth of its grief "all our troubles now
" come from the same source that the bull
lets came from during the war-that is to
"say, from the Yankees and their friends"
This shows exceeding bad reconstruction,
and leads to the thought that the time is
coming rapidly enough when that job will
have to be done over again. 1t may not
he inopportune to advise our unrecon-
structed friend that when reconstruction
shall he reconstructed the work will he done
70 that 1t will last for all time TO come. The
victors ask of the vanquished that they
shall dcport themselves with becoming
respect for the results Of the war and the
Yankees TO whom rebellion pretended to
surrender. 1t is scarcely manly after we
fogged you to your hearts content at the
time for you to be making mouths at us,
and using insulting language toward us,
now that we, in spirit of clemency, have
consented to forgive you and let you 20 in
peace, instead of visiting upon you the pun
ishmeut which the law holds in store ior
armed traitors to the Government. Mr.
DAVIS aud his admirers are living under a
lease of forgiveness, and it is in very bad
taste for them to take advantage Of and
abuse the kindness that has been meted out
| tn them since their surrender

The Newark Daily advertiser thinks that
" the only thing apparently that will not
"'run in a rut or go of itself is news
paper. The duller the times the greater
" the tax on brain and body. Even the
Government stands second to this grand
popular institution in the necessity for
constant supervision. The President finds
" time for attending fair assortment of all
" the popular assemblies, or to go on fish,
ling party or for q days shooting. The
Secretary of State is at his country place
" in Vermont the Secretary Of the Treas
"ury is at Atlantic City; the Secretary Of

"tary of War is inspecting something or
other, and the only Cabinet officers ut
their desks are KEY and ScHuRz."

We are in receipt of printed letter from
Governor HoYT, of Wyoming Territory,
which repeats the old, old story of no -four,
lturlimplcments,n no schools among
the Shoshoue and Bannock Indians, but many
broken or tardily-kept promises on the
part of the Government, and many white
trespassers on their reservations. The Gov
ernor has been looking those Indians over,
and he knows whereof he AYERS. Isn't il
about time that the Indian Bureau should
send fresh commissioner or two to max c
things lively for some of the commissioners
now engaged in fishing and hunting on the
Indian reserves?

THE echoes are awakened on the political
sounding-board by the New York custom
house removals. In the South, where every
movement that bears the slightest rescm-
blance to encouragement of Liberal Republi-
canism is accepted as blow in favor of the
Democracy, the removals are still the subject
of Democratic congrntulation. The Augusta
Chronicle, for example, has this to say on
the subject:
President HAYES has had his revenge upon
Senator CoSKLISG aud probably beaten him
for reelection to the Senate. The President
did not intend by this stroke to elect q Demo-
crat; but that is what will likely come out
Of IL.

FoRTUSATELY for the peace and good or
der of this community the sham labor elc-
ment in our midst is practically unorgan-
lied, while the bona yfde labores of the Dis
trict are thoroughly organizcd aud are in
earnest sympathy with the cause of law aud
order. Ii this had not beeu the ease, the
troubles Of Friday and Saturday last would
have been so serious as to put our police
force to test of their mettle. As 1t was,
the emeute is hardly worthy of being digni-
fed with the name of skirinish. But it
was of enough importance to serve as a
warning of what might have been"

JUDGE KERsHAw, of the South Carolina
State Circuit Court belongs to the ilfth dis
trict but was transferred TO the eighth for
the purpose, evidently, Of assuming juris-
diction in the revenue cases which have
brought the Palmetto State TO the verge Of
conflict with the General Government. The
GoD-like HAMPTON probably had covert
finger in this judicial transfer, for KERsHAw
is reported to be his judicial mouthpiece.
He undoubtedly knew that KERsHAw
would not hesitate to pronounce the act Of
Congress providing for the transfer of these
cases to the United States Circuit Court un-
constitutional, and there is every evidence
In the concluding sentence of KERsHAw's
decision that he rendered It with full and
complete understanding that it would he

it impossible to observe or maintain the
