POLITICAL NOTES.

THE New York Times says; "when Demo-
cratic organization arouses itself to make q
strike for Offices, therc Is certain to be serious
work."
THE New York Herald thinks that the yir-
ginia expedicnt for taxing the retail trade in
alcoholic drinks deserves to be considered In
two aspects-ns q revenue measure and as q
temperance measure.
ONE Of our Senators Is about to introduce q
bill declaring that David Davis must either
move little more to one side of the Senate
chamber, or else submit to having an aisle cut
through him. These long walks are taking all
the stamina out Of our public men, besides
using up rnuch valuable time that might be
employed in attending dog fights, horse races
and quadroon balls.-Ddnbuyy Ners
THE New York Tribune says: 'The Demo-
Gratis have two especial causes Of alarm about
tho outcome of tho fall elections. They arc
afraid Of the Nationals in the East and West
and Of independent movements In the South
The latter are sufficiently threatening in nearly
all the Southern States to induce the Democratic
State Committees to fll their addresses to the
faithful with solemn warnings against them.
If the Nationals do them no more serious in
jury than these Southern splits are likely to,
they need not worry much. Any split In the
South will bring forth nothing moro nor less
than another variety Of Democrat, who what.
over his name, will DO solid every time"

COMMERCIAL SUBSIDIES.

When the commercial interests of our
country languish hard times very generally
ensue. The protection and encouragement
of our commerce should invariably COM
mand the attention and judicious legislation
Of Congress. But we have had no enact
ments by that body looking to the further
ancc and welfare of our commercial inter-
ests thus far. Those interests have had
naught to encourage, but everything to dis
courage. The ignorance and demagogery
displayed the past few years in our National
Legislative Halls have been lamentable and
very disastrous to the prosperity Of the
country. And shall it continue? -
Statesmanship, in the modern acceptation
of the word, is not now 50 much needed as
sagacity-that sagacity which sees in the
far-Off country its needs of our domestic
calture and domestic manufactures, and
would strive for our ship and our flag to
carry thither. A subsidy-a wise, prudent
and judicious subsidy is what should be
given to United States vessel flying the
flag and carrying our mail-that is, where
the service was regularly performed-to any
foreign port. Subsidies have proven the
financial argosy to the British government
They have enabled 1t to carry its flag across
every sea and to every cline in the globe.
They have proven to be the drant coureurs
of civilization. They have produced where
before was naught. They have brought in
return the wonders of the universe. They
have shown the work and errors of the past,
and taught that government lessons for
the future. And why should not we en-
courage IL?
We haye been very libera with subsidies
to our great railways to the Pacific. These
railways develop the internal resources,
mineral and agricultural, and acluaint us
still more with the great natural wealth OF
our land And now let us be liberal to the
commercial interests of the country. There
are dozens and dozens of foreign ports where
cargocs rich in wealth can at any time be
laden, and yet the United States flag has sell
dom been seen to wave there. Our shipping
laws need revision; the insane opposition ia
subsidies just and beneficial, must cease and
then young and progressive nation like
our own will surely assume the lead in the
commerce of the world. And in that pro-
lection and encouragement will be found
the panacea for much of the privation, dis
tress, and misery Of hard timesw

Thus the issue is stated plainly, the Dem
ocratic party Is called upon to do honor to
the Confederate element and u those who
desire soto do are beaten, then the sooner
they form an Independent party the better.
Mr.. FRANKLIN has the merit Of having
stated the issue sauarely, and IL must here
after be understood by the American peo-
pie that the very fact Of bav-
ing been prominently jealous in efforts
to destroy the nation Is to be q special
recommendation for Office Whether the
Executive branch of the Government will
coincide and cooperate with this mandate
only the future can determine. We confess
to be seriously in doubt on thS point, when
taking retrospective view Of the appoint
ments already made. Tho rank and file Of
the Democracy will Of course follow their
| leaders. We are reminded of the PROPOSE
tions offered by Mr.. RIcHMoRE JACKSON,
made in the Baltimore convention that
nominated GREELEY as their candidate,
and which was commented upon at the time
in THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. He sub
mitted tho following declaration TO be in
serted ia the platform of his party:
First. An act Of universal amnesty and res
toration of political rights
Second. Repeal of all acts iniuriously affect
| ing the Southern States.
Third. Extension Of the pension laws to
soldiers Of the South.
Fourth. Payment for liberated slaves from
the National Treasury.
Fifth. A change In the National flag, to
mako 1t acceptable to the people Of the
country.
And to this complexion have we come at
last. The suffragcs of the American people
are asked for by party who can entertain
such propositions as those Of RICHMOBR
JACKSON and Mr.. FRANKLIN. Shades OF

LIN! We are told to bury dead issues
when rotten carcasses are constantly disn-
tered by shame-faeed politicians, ghouls
and hucksters filling the loyal atmosphere
with rank and fostering odors There is not
the slightest doubt that beneath the velvet
glove these conciliators wear are hands Of
steel to wound the hearts Of the patriots Of
the Union If not to grasp and destroy the
liberties of the Republic.

THE Chicago Tribune is distressed by q
fancy that Mr.. BLAINE "will go into the
next Republican convention backed by the
solid vote of his sister.in-law." 'iIe may
be reinforced" it adds, "by part of the
Maine delegation, even though his own
town, Augusta, has just gone Democratic
for the first time in ten years. The
1ribunes solicitude is amusing, considering
the fact that when it was tho most promi-
nent angle OF the famous journalistic
quadrilateral of 1872, it besecchcd Mr..
BLAINE to join the Democracy in support
of GREELEY; ; and, further, that the feminine
attachment to the distinguished Senator's
political establishment has laid not q few
strong and masculine lashes upon tho cring-
ing backs of those four-cornered conspira-
tors. Augusta, it is true, did 20 Democratic at
the late election, but the explanation of this
deplorabls result resides in local and purely
municipal considerations Mr. BLAINE is
rs strong, and national Republican princi-
pies are US strong, in Augusta and the en-
tire State of Maine now as they were in

soduce the entire State into the Democratic

FORMAL RECOGNITION OF THE CON.
FEDERATES.

1t is not alone that the money claims of
the people who rebellcd against the Govern
mcnt are to be henceforth recognized as
controlling and shaping the revenues and
expenditures of the country and its future
policy, but those persons who were prom
inent members of the Confedcracy are, for
that very reason, to be singled out for places
of profit and honor. We know that the cry
of bloody shirt will be raised at any oppo-
sition to this, but it is the duty of all who
love their country to inform themselves of
the opinion of their representatives in this
direction, so that they can determine un-
dcrstandngly whether or not tho mission of
the Republican party is ended. AT the re-
cent caucus of the Democracy, convened to
select candidate in place Of the deposed
Doorkeeper of the House of Representatives,
Mr.. FRANKLIN, of Missouri, opposed the
nomination of General SHIELDS because he
had been Union soldier, and said it
was time now to recognize the
claims of the soldiers of tho Con-
fedcracy. He said that the Speaker, Ser
geant-at-Arms aud Clerk are Northern men
and of the Union army; he was not from
Confederate State, but had been with them
in heart, and thought they were entitled TO
a small share OF the patronage; AS he was

UNFuRL THE OLD flag.

II is apparent that the Republican party
in the North is everywhere awakening to
the necessity of unfuring the old flag, un-
der which it has won so many victories on
the Congressional and Presidential field, and
following 1t to fresh conquests. The major
principles of the party are unchanged.
Equal rights to all men before the law the
guarantees of tho Constitution, with all its
amendments inviolate; the cause of educa-
tion; aid and foster influences for tho in
dustries of the country; protection and ex-
pansion Of American commerce on tho
ocean; the purity of the elective franchise,
are all tho same to-day as in the last de-
cadc, and have the same claims upon Re-
publican loyalty and devotion now as then.
The men of the Republican party may have
changed, but its principles are as unchang-
ing rs tho natural laws of creation, until by
mutation of circumstances they may be-
como temporarily effete. This may ensue,
but Republican principles are immutable.
They are as stcadfast as the foundations of
the Government to which they relate.
We think the time has come to put the
Republican army under drill, preparatory
to the fall campaign. When the roll is beat
lat every man fall into line. Let those who
love the cause manifest their devotion, each
for himself If there DO those who hesitate
make room for them in the line. If the
President is n true Republican he will be
found among the Republican forces. No
word should be uttered to entreat him to
duty or to rcpel him therefrom. The laws
of political gravitation will control his ac-
ton and that Of his Cabinet and his army
of officials throughout tho country. When
this force begins to move, if they belong in
its ranks, they will tako up step to the Re-
publican music and move on in harmony
If they belong elsewhere they will soor
seek their political ailinities and theil
favorite camping-ground and by that sign
we shall know them.

THE Okalona (Nriss.) Herald (Dcmocratic)
says The southwestern counties in this
state are in u bad fix. The report of the
grand jury says that in some instances it is
impossible to get men to appear before the
jury as witnesses for fear OF some personal
injury being done to them. In one instance
q witness, while on his way to appear before
the jury, was foully assassinated, and
Others have been threatened. II such un-
precedentcd outlawry is practiced much
longer in those counties Kemper will have
to draw in her horns" This is outspoken
and to the point, and, coming as 1t does
from a Democratic organ where the CHS
oLM murder was perpetrated, it is some
what remarkable and unexpected. The
Jackson Hiss. Times could not do better
than this. When outlawry is punished in
Mississippi, and witnesses can testify to the
truth without jeopardizing their lives, then
we may believe in Cancellation.

THE story that Secretary SCurRZ brought
on his recent illness by too frequent tippling
of strong green tea is still going the rounds
1t should be stopped instantly, or SOME ir-
reverent paragrapher will distort it into
reflection upon the Administration for its
well-known temperance reform proclivities
The idea Of green tea aS q substitute for the
customary beverage of our Teutonic fellow
citizens could only have been suggested at
q Sunday evening concert, such as Mr..
SCHURz is known to enliven with his skill
full piano playing, at our chaste Executive
Mansion. But he has always been known ~
a Liberal-in politics and in society as well
as in religion-and when his mellow voice,
before it had been puckered, persimmou-
like, by the use of green tea, Joined with
the swelling base notes of the irreverent Bob
INGERsoLL on those occasions, there were
two souls without "'ary thought" OF the
hereafter. Now, alas the green-tea COM
promise has insidiously worked damaging
reform. 1t seems that all of the Admins
tration reforms are damaging; and first
Mr.. SCHURZ is stricken with green-tea sick
ness. Let Bob ISGERsoLL beware, or there'll
be the kind of time in his gastronomic re-
gion described by the parrot after its play
albeit Bob doesn't think there is any evil
dence of spiritual calorc in the future

THE patriotic ardor which carried the
old warrior through the House," This is
the phrase Of the Democratic organ in
abiding to the proceedings incident to the
Doorkeepership imbroglio last Monday.
Without explanation it might he accepted
as an allusiOn to the election of the COnfed-
crate Egyptian old warrior, FIELD; but it
is really intended to describe the impulse
which governed the House in placing Cen
eral SHIELDS on the retired list Patriotic
ardor," indeed Clap-trap is tn. proper word,
for the ardor evoked was inspired by ne
cessity to make the Democracy appear some
what solicitous about the welfare of an old
Union veteran as an Of. set to its disgraceful
promotion of the aforesaid ex-rebel The
truth is General BRAGG, of Wisconsin, is as
shrewd manipulation, politically speaking,
as his opponent, General BUTLER. His
SHIELDS was as devoid Of real patriotic in
terest in the welfare of that discarded hero
~ was General BUTLER s proposition to make
him DOOrkeeper. Both BRAGG and BUTLER
have constituencies cOnspicuOusly interlard-
ed, as it were, with Irish votes, and SHIELDS is
an Irishman. 1t was a clear case Of diamond
cut diamond; but, while it will be admitted
that BUTLER for once met an intriguel
worthy of his own well-known capacity in
that direction, BRAGG got the worst of the
encounter, simply because no was handi,
capped by the dead weight of the Lost
