the introduction Of foreigners to drive ont

ing the people to those lands aud furnishing

The Fourth Virginia District.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 3, 1873.
TO The Editor of the National Republican:
DEAR SIR differ with your journal In
political faith. In fact, l am a Democrat. 1t
is an unusual thing for member of one polit.
ical party to express a preference for Que of
opposite faith for office; yet write you this
morning to say u word seconding the kindly
sentiments you have expressed for Hon. Joseph
Jorgensen, of the fourth Virginia district.
During the session of Congress Just closed
had an excellent opportunity Of knowing DR..
Jorgensen. His urbane manners, culture, in
dustry, aud unObtrusive worth attracted my
attention. and am free to say that among the
many members with whom | was intimate,
none made more favorable impression than
DIR. Jorgensen. lie Is p .eliable, earnest man,
destitute of the bitterness which too frequently
sacrifices the public good to the Interests Of
party. The Virginia delegation, with one or
| two exceptions is made up of men Of DIR. Jor-
gensens type. They were reliable, earnest,
and conscientious, knowing their duty well and
well discharging 1t. In those measures
wherein the interests Of their State were seri.
! ousy affected they labOred with intelligent
and harmonious zeal, aud | am safe in saying
that the honorable gentlemen who compose
the Democratic portion will bear witness tt
the fact that DR.. Jorgcnscn labOred as eff.
lively to advance the interests Of the "Od
Dominion as an other member Of the delega
ton. Indeed, the fact of his being a Re
publican gave him opportunity and means pos
sessed by no other member to labor with tn,
opposition. His popularity in his party en-
abled him to secure aid to the passage of meas
ures which otherwise might have been do
feated. know that his valuable services wcr,
recognized by his cOntreres, and they SHOULD
be appreciated by his constituency.
Again, Mr. Editor ! am opposed to "soit
South" just rs lam opposed TO a"solid North.
There should be no solid South" and hop,
there will not be. The great body of Republi
cans in Virginia are certainly entitled to SOME
representation, and the Democracy of that
State will be wise IL it recognizes this truth
and aids in returning Dr. JOrgensen to Con
grIss. lie has been a true and faithful repre-
sentative, jealous Of the interests, aud indus
trious and intelligent in the discharge Of hii
duties. DEMOCRAT.

ONE Of the howls OF the Nationals and
other modern finance doctors is that the
General Government, by placing the per
cent. loan on our home market, becomes a
competitor with the regular business interests
of the country. 1t is Il successful one, too, for
investors prefer that loan at certain though
low rate of interest to loans upon other Sc
curities which are not so certain. But the
howlers forget that the interest on the 4 per
cents. thus placed is paid out at home, and
goes into circulation among our own people
If ii were all placed abroad this interest, as
well as the sum required to redeem the
principal of these popular bonds, would &c
abroad. The national debt may not be .
national blessing, but II can be saved from
becoming a national curse by arranging t.
save it's benefits for the enjoyment Of oul
own people instead of foreigners.

fully as it should. The facts as admitted
except where evasion or perversion inter
vene, show the case of the Government suf-
ficicntly clear to disarm II Of the charge of
murder The revenue officers were In the
line Of duty armed with Federal authority
to arrest Illicit distillers and suppress Illicit
distilling They had reason to think that
LADD was connected with the violations Of
the law, and approached his house to
satisfy themselves as to the Just ground Of
their suspicion. He appeared on the
threshold Of his door aud confronted the
officers with arms in his hand. They ap-
preached him and he snapped his gun at
them for the purpose of killing them. They
returned his attempted fire before he
could fire again, and he was
killed. This is the affair in a
nutshell, as admitted substantially by the
Ne'cs, and is the makeup Of the case of the
United States. The State authorities step
in, arrest these officers on a charge of muir
der, throw them into prison, and substan-
TALLY set the laws and authority Of the
General Government at defiance, and pro-
coed TO wreak vengeance under this spirit
upon the United States through its officers
and agents. who had used no more force
than was necessary to execute the laws and
defend themselves and their lives against
armed resistance. II LADD was an inno-
cent, law.abidng, aud order-loving citizen
he would not have met the ministers of the
law with arms In his hands and with IN
attempt to kill them when they were only
approaching his residence in the strict
line of duty. Under the admitted facts
Of the Ners there was no murder in
tended, neither was there any per-
petrated, and il the case were reversed
South Carolina would be the fist and loud
eat to commend the action Of the officers
under the circumstances. But the affair
affords pretext for setting up State sover-
eighty over the laws and jurisdiction oi
the United States in the South, and nullitica-
tion steps to the front with much boldness
and offcnsivcness The duty of the General
Government is plain. 1t should act delib.
erately, but with decision and firinness oi
purpose which will assert its sovereignty
and integrity above and beyond all future
question. Notification feeds OH federation
and its aliment should be cut of at the
earliest practicable moment

The election Of q Republican member Of
Congress from the twenty-seventh district
OF Pennsylvania may he placed in jeopardy
by the crookedness Of the nominating con-
vention. Under the adopted rules of Erie
County, after the withdrawal of Mr. WAT
son, the present incumbent, the nomination
rightfully belonged to Mr.. REED, of Eric
but 1t was given to Mr.. OsMER, of Venaugo
The Erie County committee met subse.
quently and, by vote of 90 to 10, decided
that under the party rules Mr.. REED is en-,
titled to the candidacy, and he has beer
called into the field and has 81 ,niiied hi
purpose Of accepting. Unless satisfactory
adjustment of this vcxed question is reached
split may ensue which will jeopardize the
district Let wise counsels prevail.

GENERAL MACKENZIE, our bold border
raider, is the officer referred TO by General
GRANT is his famous Hamburg interview as
Young MACKENZIE" and as one of the
most promising younger officers of the army.
The saying is trite that General GRANT sell
dom mistoOk his man in estimating soldicrly
qualities during the war. In this instance
he seems to have been rs fortunate rs usual,
for General MACKESZIE's operations in
Mexico have been executed with skill and
discretion. II is not to he expected, how
ever, and perhaps II is not to be hoped, that
he will continue to avoid conflict with the
regular forces Of the Mexican government.
His duty on the Rio Grande is simply to
pursue aud punish raiders from the south
bank upon American soil. In performing
it he himself becomes dashing raider upon
Mexican soil, and thereby provOkes the jeal-
Gus enmity OF the Mexicins. But he has
succeeded, under General ORD, in keeping
better order on the border than any COM
manding officer we have had there since the
war

GOVERNOR PALMER. of Illinois, q hard
money Democrat, is .,orted by IA Tribune
correspondent as ha.iug said, speaking of
his fellow-partisans in that State: Hard
money Democrats will vote for General
SINGLETON, for example, on the theory
that resumption will be accomplished be-
fore his term in Congress will begin, and
that that will destroy Greenbackism and
make it ridiculous" In other words the
Governor thinks the Democrats will swallow
up the hards and softs and leave nothing but
the husks Of Communists for the Nationals
to feed upon. To certain extent he is
correct, for the question of finances is fast
disappearing from the arena of politics
the question, we mean, as it has been dis
cussed since 1s12-beiore the encroacbing
certainty that the resumption act will not
be repealed. Unless something unforeseen
happens, it will hardly be topic OF discus
sion in 1890. The Republicnn party will
by that time have restored the financial
equilibrium of the country.

IT is remarkable fact proven by the re-
ception of the Chinese embassy in San Fran
cisco the other day, that the pig tailed cheap
laborers of the Pacific slope are sleek, fat,
well-dresscd and clean when they appear on
public parades. Their frugal and parsi-
monious ways account for this, and it seems
they are as happy as can be expected, con-
sidering the hoodlum bull-dozing they are
constantly subjected to. But with all that
they are q nuisance and a national plague
They come to this country, not for the pur-
pose Of becoming citizens, but simply TO
escape from the privations Of their native
land, their allegiance to which they seldom
surrender. II they were like other emf
grants, willing to assume the responsibli-
ties in addition to the enjoyment of the
benefits of citizenship, they might have
some claim upon the tOleratiOn of our
people, and would certainly be entitled to
the protection Of all the laws guaranteeing
political rights to naturalized citizens. As
1t is they shun all connection with other
laboring classes, live unto themselves and
carefully provide for the transportation of
their remains after death back to China
These are the reasons why the laboring
classes of this country object to competition
from John Chinaman and they are also the
questions to he solved or discussed by the
Chinese embassy when it reaches Washing
ton. II the Pacific slope influence prevails
the BURLISGAME treaty will probaly he
amended, and the flow of Chinese emigra-
ton, which has already fallen of to some
| extent, will receive further check.
