SECRETARY EvAHrs' SPEECH.

We regret that our space forbds the full
production of Secretary EvARTs' great
speech at Cooper Institute, New York, on
Thursday evening last. We regret II the
more Tor the reason that we think it should
be read by every Republican in the United
States. The distinguishing relation held by
Secretary EvAETs US the Prime Minister of
the Government under the present Admin
istration imparts more than ordinary weight
and importance to his utteranCes at the
present moment No one connected with
the Cabinet holds nearer position to the
Executive than the Secretary of State, and
no one, outside of himself would be re-
garded rs rejecting the political views and
sentiments Of the head OF the Government
more distinctly than the Secretary. For
this reason public expectation has been
much excited in anticipation of what Mr..
! EyARrs might or might not say upon this
occasion.
The speech Is in every sense bold out
| spoken eloquent, and able. 1t Is, from lrst
to last, an orthodox Republican effort 1t
meets all the pending issues with boldness
and power. 1t gives the go-by to no i'm
portant question relating to the pending
political contest, but discusses them all with
an ability, power, and fidelity that chal-
lenges admiration. The financial issue Is
discussed with a force Of argument that is
euliycned aud pointed with rich hImor.
The duty of the Government to protect all
the citizens of the United States in all their
rights is strongly presented and elo-
quently pressed upon the public mind, with
the forcble admonition that so long rs these
rights are disregarded and this discOrd in
the harmony of our restored allegiance ex-
lists, 50 long the Republican party will have
its duties, which it will not hesitate to per
| form.
This speech has the true ring throughout
so far as it discusses the principles, the po

THE new National party OF New Orleans
Is explained to be natural or sporadic out
growth of the residuum of the old Know
Nothing organization which 1ourishcd In
Louisiana years ago. When It was at It's
greatest flood Of success FRANK" NICHOLS
now de .Gdcto Governor Of the State, was
leading member Of the organization and
served rs president Of one of its strongest
lodges. 1t now numbers, possibly, about
1000 voters in New Orleans, many OF whom
are desperate men, who would not scruple
now, as they did not years ago, TO resort to
acts OF violence If necessary to secure vic
tory at the polls. No wonder that NICHOLS
is frightened for he knows from experience
how it is himself. He has accordingly or
dercd that the arms of the militia shall all
be stored in the Mechanics Institute,
and made other preparations for serious
trouble in the not FAR distant future.
Meanwhile the Republicans, who have
practically abandoned their partisan
organization, are holding themselves
aloof, with decided sympathy, however
for the Nationals In other words, they ar,
not averse TO giving NICHOLS bull-dozinl
dose of his own mob-law medicine. Sooner
or later tho infamous methods by which
NICHOLS, HAMPTON, LAMAR, and other
of like kidney obtained power, will return
to plague them. They have sowcd the seeds
of the whirlwind.

THE Syracuse Courier accuses Mr.. HIS
COCK of absenteeism from the House in the
last session of Congress. The Record appa-
rently bears out this accusation, for Mr II
is frequently recorded therein as not voting
on many roll-calls. But the Courier could
find ample and satisfactory reasons for his
absence from his seat on those occasions if it
desired to do him justice. The fact that he
was 4 member, and an active one, of many
committees, especially the POTTER commit
tee, service on which required him to be
frequently absent from his seat while the
House was In session, is all that is necessary
for his complete yindication from this charge
And it should be added that Nh. HIsCOCK's
devotion to this kind OF exnctinS duty should
be counted to his advantage ra,.cr thar
otherwise.

OF that real, devoted, intrepid kind, regard
ing which intelligent people have not the

traitor during the war, rs we have before
explained; first, to his country by joining
lhe Confederacy, and second, to his State,
which never did secede. And of such is

ONE incident in the proceedings connected
with the electoral count in South Carolina
in 1876 is worth relating as circumstantial
patches exposure. Judge SHELLABARGER,
OF Ohio, was engaged with Judge SETTLE,
then of North Carolina, in preparing an ap-
plication for writ Of mandamus to trans
fer the judicial contest over the offices Of
elector from the State to the United States
courts. All Of the electors, except Mr..
NASH, the colored man whom the Tilden-
ties were then, at that moment, attempting
to bribe, had signed the necessary docu-
ments incident to the application, and the
little assemblage Of deeply interested Re-
publicans in the room where the Electoral
College met, were waiting anxiously for
NAsH's appearance. II was known TO them
that NASH had been in the company of tho
corruptionist that morning; that he had
been seen TO enter the somewhat famous
under the control Of the always sick witness
CLARK; and IL was believed that he had
been tampering, so to speak, with the enc
my. Ten o'clock, eleven, and finally twelve
o'clock passed, and still NASH failed to ap.
pear, although he was due at the first men
toned hour. Finally he came into the
room and abruptly proposed Three cheer.
for TLDENm 1t will probably be admit
ted by those who know him, that Judge
SHELLABARGER is not a handsome man at
the best, and the expression that stole over
his features as he heard NAsH's voice
uttcring those four words did not add to hi.
placidity of facial expression. There were
other. in the room who felt like sinking
through the floor, and who did not recover
their equanimity until after NASH had set
tied down to serious business and voted
honestly and squarely for HAYES anC

DR.. VAN AERSAM. the Republican can
didate for Congress in the thirty-thrd New
York district, has sued some OF the Demo-
cratic newspapers Of that section for libel
The complaint on which the suit is based
declares that the plaintiff is damaged to
the amount of $50, 900 by certain false pub.
ications charging him with having been
complicated in certain land swindling op.
orations, through which, it is alleged, the
Government lost 100000. The Doctor has
adopted q very sensible course, for although
these groundless charges against him will
have no weight where he is known, the
arraignment OF his libellcrs at the bar OF
justice may have the Effect to close the
flood gates of slander which are aIway,
opened in the columns of the Democratic
press against Republican leaders.

THE Posi-erior asserts that in the contest
between Messrs. LEE and RAINEY for a seat
in the House from South Carolina two years
ago the Democratic committee decided
against LEE, although 1t was proven that he
was legally entitled TO the seat. This ad-
mission is made inadvertently, no doubt, in
an article intended to show that LEE is now,
and was then, disreputable person. But
the entire statement is false LEE did not
contest as Democrat, and RAISEY was
awarded the seat because IL belonged to him.
The preceding campaign between them had
been fought as between two Republicans in
district wherein the Republican vote is so
strong that ths Democrats have no legal
show Of success whatever, even when the
Republican vote Is divided, as II was then.
These facts should show that in the pend
ing election, when all OF the Republican
vote that will be pollcd will he concentrated
In RAISEY's favor, for LEE is supporting
him now, RArSEY's success is legally ns-
sured. When the certificates come to be
issued, however, we fear this legal assur'
