AN ORGANIZED BAND.

The tramp question IS just now as
summing much importance throughout
the Western States and California.
This peculiar being who only few
years since was introduced into public
notice, is essentially modern produc-
ton and an indirect outgrowth of the
war, the demoralizing effects of which
will long be felt throughout the land
He first made his appearances in the
agricultural districts Of the West, and
more Eastern States, IN the role of a
common nuisance, harmless sort OF
chronic outcast. whose importantly was
quite amazing and whose persistent
need, usually for something to eat,
even surpassed that OF Psnurge. He
always appeared alone and was easily
disposed of. We soon heard Of tramps

bolder and their tendency to organize

do we hear of their attempting to seize

made in Wisconsin and Iowa. Since
then this vagrant horde has been rapid

able rowing banditti The selling of

by brakeman Morris in self defense,
who. it is satisfaction to know
was wholly eXoneratcd by the coroner's
jury. Again we are informed of a
similar attempt to seize train at Rose
vile, eighteen miles east of Sacramento
The gang successfully boarded train
and was so numerous as to occupy all

They were bold and defiant, and their
leader declared it as their intention

A New Republican Policy

Intelligent Republicans are beginning to
discover what they could not or would not
see two years ago-that the anti-Southern
spirit, which they cultivated as a political
force was a mistake-and they are now
proposing to alter their treatment of the
Southern states. Necessity sometimes
teaches lessons that some persons will not
learn from any other source, and the loss
of the ten Southern states which they
once absolutely controlled has awakened
the Republican leaders to the fact that,
unless something can be done to reclaim
several OF those states, their party must
surrender its national ascendency. Even
as late as 1876 the Republicans sought to
strengthen themselves both in the North
and the South by teaching the people of
one section to hate those of the other-by
attempting to persuade those of Ohio and
New York that the whites of Louisiana
aud Mississippi were rebel" and slayers
of helpless negroes. and that, if they were
permitted to regain power, colored Repub-
licaus would be massacred by hundreds.
On this wretched policy they were beaten;
the whole South passed into Democratic
hands, and the assertions of the Republic
an leaders were found to be ialsehaod, The
negroes are more kindly treated
and are better contented than they we're
under republican rule, and the Southern
states, which under Grant, were hardly held
10 subsection by troops, are now perfectly
tranquil without the presence OF O single
federal soldier. Clearly, then, the bloody
shirt and hatred of the south as political
makeweights are failures. The southern
states are SO firmly re-established IN the
union that they cannot be remanded to
provincialism; they cannot be again re-
constructed, and they cannot be again
governed by the army. Some other re-
publican method of treating them must DE
adopted. The ten southern states are
now absolutely in the hands of the
whites, and if the republicans are ever to
regain their lost footing in either of them
it must be by conciliating the whites.
1t would not be disadvantage if both
the whites and the blacks of the south
could be divided between the two nationa
parties, instead of being separated by g
color line. With the whites all democrats
and the blacks all republicans, there mus
of necessity be estrangement and antagon'
ism between the races at the south and 6
reflected bitterness between their friends
at the north; but with the two races dis
tributed promiscuously between the par
ties, the hostility would vanish and there
would be freedom to discuss other ques
tons than those connected with race pre-
dominance If this better state of thing:
is TO be ever brought about the republican
party must begin the work by adopting ,
more reasonable and fraternal treatmen
of the southern whites; and for the SAKE
Of the national peace it is to be hoped they
will do this. st, L. Rep.

The republican state convention has
made its nominations aud framed the party
platform. Our morning cotemperary says
the ticket and platform will generally re
celve hearty republican support. Prob
ably it will-that is the ticket will. 1t will
get about all the support there is amorg
republicans to give any ticket. but the
enthusiasm of former days will be some
what lacking if one may Judge of the mild
hammered way in which the enthusiasm
displays itself in this locality. By the
way where is the customary Endorsement
of the national administration. A strange
spectacle it is that one after another the
conventions of the several states should
meet, nominate tickets, solemnly gorify
the greatness and goodness of the republi-
can party, and yet leave their poor presi-
dent without a word Of commentator.
