His Views on the SituatiOn--No Comfort
for the Implacables.
Special Dispatch to St. Louis Globe Democrat.
WASHINGTON, D. G., April 1.-THE
Republican Congressional Committee,
though not composed Of ardent admirers
OF the administration, is considered as
fairly representing the different ele-
ments Of the Republican party. Secre-
tary McCrary to-day, in speaking upon
the political prospects and the attitude
Of the administration before the coun-
try, said that he thought the lesson of
Howe's speech would be sufficient to
show that the people, whilst in a temper
to stand much criticism Of the Admin
istration, are not disposed to be inhuen-
ced by such attacks. He said that it
should be clear to all Republicans that
harmony would alone accomplish the
important results which were expected
of the party in the approaching cam
paign; that it was particularly import
ant that there should be a Republican
majority in the next House Of Repre-
sentatives, and that, with proper activi-
ty, he could not see why the Republi-
cans should not succeed in overcoming
the Democratic majority Of fourteen
TO- existing in that body.
He said that he felt confident that
there would be gains in Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland and Pennsylvania. 1t was
also anticipated Republicans would be
able to carry certain districts in the
South, and particularly several in the
State Of Louisiana; that he believed the
latter conclusion upon the existence of
the Commissioners law, which, if pro-
perly carried out, will insure a fair cleo
ton. In answer to a question as to the
course the President might pursue in
the event the Democrats in the South
should interpOse to prevent a fair cleo
ton, he said the President would do all
the law permitted him to do to put
down violence and insure a fair election.
He added in addition to the fact of
regaining Republican ~ascendency in the
House, that he shared in the opinion of
other members of the Administration,
that the next President, in all probable
ity,, will be chosen by that body; that
with the closeness Of the vote of the
two parties, and the probable diversion
to other tickets, that it would be impos-
sible to secure for any candidate a ma
jority of the whole electoral vote cast.
He said that the Administration was
Republican and had no desire to commit
any acts which would be contrary to the
interests of the Republican party, but
that the members of a coordinate
branch Of the Government should not
arrogate to themselves the right to die
tate the course to be pursued by the
Executive, as the latter was responsible
to the country for his acts. In c%onclu-
sion he said that he had no doubt that
when the subject came to be fully dis
cussed that everything would be arrang-
ed in harmony, so that the party might
enter into the campaign without that
bitterness which has heretofore cropped
out in various ways.

WI copy in another column the views
of Secretary McCrary, expressed to a
correspondent of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat, upon the present political
situation, and the duty of the Republi
can party regarding the coming cam
paign. The advice he gives and the
opinion he expresses are such as we had
a right to expect from a man of Mr.,
McCrary's high character and well bal
anced judgment, but that they will not
be acceptable to the little band Of howl.
ers who are trying to precipitate a quar-
rel with the Republican administration
in the ensuing State convention, we can
we'll conceive. He defends the Repub-
lican integrity of the administration,
gives assurance of the disposition of the
President to do all that he properly
may do for Republican success, and ad-
ministers a fitting rebuke to the dis
gruntled Senators who, for selfish ends,
would grasp power and prerogatives not
their right. In all of which the Secre-
tary but represents the real Republican
sentiment of the State which has de-
lighted to honor him, and which has
never lost faith in his wisdom or integ-
rity.

Now that resumption is practically
accomplished, it is about time to think
of an epitaph for the Greenback party.
We suggest the following:
After a brief and feverish existence,
during which it illustrated every phase
of financial quackery, and gave shelter
to every crazy theorist in the country,
here lies the Greenback party. 1t was
conceived and brought forth in ignor-
ance, nurtured in prejudice and dema-
gogueism, and died of the logic of
events. Gone to meet its father, Anti
Monop.

MILwAUKEE's response to the speech
of Senator Howe is pointed, and one the
significance of which even the Wiscon-
sin Senator will appreciate. Nearly a
thousand of the leading Republican cit
liens of hat city have addressed an
open letter to the President, assuring
him that they heartily approve his
course, and that Howe's speech "does
not reflect the sentiment of any consid
cradle portion of the Republican party
in Wisconsin" The Milwaukee Senti-
mel, the leading Republican journal in
Wisconsin, characterizes it as a sore
headed h%arangue,' and says that it will
meet with no favorable response from
the Republican party Of the State.

THE Inter- Ocean, which has been,
among daily papers, the craziest advo-
cate of imitation, and the most rabid as
sailant of the resumption law, has got
to a point of view from which it is en-
abled to see that resumption Of specie
payments is inevitable, in fact, is al
ready accomplished, and it now de-
mands that Secretary Sherman begin to
resume, without waiting for the time
fixed by law, and is using the identical
arguments in favor of that idea that it
used to scout as visionary and chimeri-
cal, when used by others to show that
resumption was practicable.

In the Congressional caucus in Wash
ington, last week, Mr.. Foster, of Ohio.
took up the cudgel for the President in
manful style. In reply to a steering
gibe at the administration, he made a
sharp retort and good point in the asser-
ton that, Mr.. Hayes had run the gov
eminent a year without administrative
scandal, which was more than could be
said of any administration for 20 years.
The fact is worthy of notice that, amid
all the detraction and malice visited up
on the President by disappointed spoils-
men and ~soreheads, no one has had the
hardihood to suggest the charge of cor.
ruption in connection with his admins.
t%ration. His Cabinet are honest and eff
icient men, who are cooperating heart
lily with him in the endeavor to give the
country pure, economical and just gov
eminent. This much must be admitted
by all, no matter what theory may be
held regarding his policies.

THE DEBORAH Republican rather fay.

THE DEBORAH Republican rather fay
ors the programme of making an issue
with the President, in the State Con-
vention. It.says:
The Republicans of low are as capable of
declaring what is Republicanism as the Presi-
dent. We do not wish to see an alienation
from the administration; but we do believe the
course of the latter is greatly dissatisfying to
q large majority of the members of the party
in this State Lest silence should be accepted
as acquiescencc, our voice is for an honest,
candid, plain declaration of the truth, and the
whole truth, as the members of the Conven-
ton hold it.
Now, in the first place, the President
has not, as is inferred above, assumed
to declare what is Republicanism. He
has contented himself with conducting
his administration according to the au-
thoritative Interpretation of the princi-
pies OF the party, promulgated at Gin
%cinati, and the State Convention can
not do better than to r%eafirm the
principles of the National confession of
faith, and let the condemnation, if any,
fall by implication upon those who have
departed from it. The Republican
makes a mistake in assuming that the
overwhelming sentiment of the party is
against the administration. So far as
observation goes, the Republican
masses are very well satisfied with the
way that public affairs are being con-
Quoted, and the Convention, if it cares
for harmony in the ranks, had better be
careful what utterance it puts forth UNI
der the specious guise of a plain dec
laration Of the truth" There might be
conflicting views as to what is truth.

The Cedar Rapids Times, the chronic
crabbedness of whose editorial head has
gathered additional acerbity from the
smashing of the machine" must, in
emulation of the State Register, of
which it is a faithful echo, have its lit

must of course say something about the
post Office. The only special prominence
acquired by the Times since the present

else-excepting always its mentor afore-
said-had become convinced of his

WIN. NJ. TWEED, whose career of ras-
cality gave him world wide notoriety,
died on Friday last in Ludlow Street
jail, New York City, aged 90. The
statement of his physicians is that his
fatal illness was caused by mental anx-
iety, which is very likely, as no man has
ever groaned under a greater load OF in
iquity. The manner of his death and
the circumstances surrounding it, strip
ped of his ill-gotten millions, deserted
by the parasites who fawned upon him
in prosperity, alone and in prison, with
out the presence of his immediate rela-
tives, who, by their attentions, might al
leyiate the horrors of the dark pathway
through the valley of death, afford a
most striking confirmation of the truth,
that the way of the transgressor is hard.

SECRETARY SHERMAN has succeeded
in making a contract with a syndicate
of New York bankers for the sale for
gold of $5O,0OO,OOO a per cent. bonds,
at a premium of Il per cent. The gold
thus obtained, with that already in the
treasury, which is constantly increasing,
will enable the government to resume
specie payments within the time fixed
by law, Jan. 1, 1879. 1t has had the eff
feet, moreover, to hasten resumption by
the banks. A number of banks in New
York, Chicago, Cincinnati, and other
cities, are already redeeming their notes
in gold, and it Is expected that the 9th
ers will follow soon. The premium on
gold is reduced to a nominal figure, from
one-quarter to one-thirdo of one per cent,
and to all intents and purposes resump-
ton is practically accomplished And
now, if there is any reason or sense in
the utteranees of the Greenback party,
eternal smash and ruin should follow
speedily. But nobody is hurt as yet.
