SENATOR BAYARD has returned from his
European trip, and is evidently suffering
from an enlargement of the Presidential
maggot that is lodged in his head, for his
understanding of matters appears to be
little confused. He has submitted 10 an
interview, out of which issues the following
utternce, among others equally inconsis-
tent with existing facts
1t has been sottled beyond all doubt that
this is to he Union Of States, indissolpble and
whole. Theu why should the North be edu-
Gated TO look upon the South with dishonor
aud distrust, aud regard her people as cut
throats aud murdercrsY
That this Government is to be Union OF
States so long rs it lasts is true, but when
the Senator intimates that the Republican
party is sectional, except as the South raises
and presents the issue in that shape, is not at
all oreditable to his candor or clearness ol
apprehension, The people of the South are

FUNDING ANO KEADJUSrNiENr.
The Lynchburg Vjyginidt is now at log
gerhcads with Lynchburg correspondent
of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN on the
question of Repudators and Debt-Payers
in that State. 1t alleges that the Repudi-
ators' ticket "were all Republicans Now,
whether this be true or false, we know not
but if true, all we have to say is that the
Republicans have lent themselves to poor
purpose, and are TO suffer the reproaches
that we have anticipated, and which we
have warned against when we have urged
the Republicans of Virginia to keep mp their
party organization and make fight under their
own flag. We have taken no stock in this
fight over Funding or REIMBURSEMENT for
the reason that it is merely Democratic
fight, involving but one principle of Repub-
licanism and that which contends for the
full and honest paymentof all honest debts,
whether individual, State or National.
This principle should have been fought for
under the Republican flag, upon which it is
inscribed, and not by minging with either
Democratic faction which brought the dis
creditable contest upon the State. What
ever we have published on this subject has
been from correspondents who are respon-
sible for their own utterances. Neyerthe-
less, the VHginian says:
We wonder that the Washington REPUBLT-
CAN could be so easily imposed upon by a
transparent lie! Having published that state
ment, will our contemporary publish this?
Tell the truth and shame the devil" is an
adago that is not much respected by Republic
cans in anything that relates to the South.
One thing THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
has learned from observation and expert
ence during the last two years-no politi-
clan of any stripe in Virginia is to be
credited with telling the truth in any state
ment he may make, allowing his neighbor
who differs with him in views and opinions
to bear testimony rs to its merited veracity.
Under such circumstances we have studi-
ously avoided giving credit to anything
communicated to us so far at least rs to
make the statement our own, and hence we
propose to leave the Virginidn and our Re-
adjusting correspondent to settle their local
differences without further interposition.
Our only regret is that the Republicans OF
Virginia have not kept themselves to them
selves in this contest and allowed the DEM
ocratic party to wrestle with its own
blunders and corruptions without their in
reference. Had they done so, they could
have marched between the two divisions
to victory under their own flag. But sup
posing they had been defeated, as they
usually are in that State, by being counted
out, they would have come through with
clean hands and vestments unsoiled by the
Democratic mud that now bespatters them
under an improbable and unnatural coali-
ton with either side.

CONGRESS meets again on the first Mon
day in December-and for what purpose :?
Ostensibly TO pass needed laws, revise and
amend those which are regarded rs imper-
feet, make needed appropriations for the
support of the Government, and draw their
pay. Will the majority confine themselves
to these plain and well understood duties !;
or will they come to the front with a
whoop! and rebel yell and devote their
time aud talents to wiping out the meas
ures born of the war, passing rebel claims,
and doing work of a purely sectional and
disorganizing character? 1t will not take
long for this Congress to develop its real
purposes; and what is more and better, the
country is prepared for the worst it may I'M
dertake. Judging from the extra session, the
people have n right to expect that section
alism of the rankest type will step to the
front and mold and shape the action Of the
body from first to last but the late express
sion of public sentiment throughout the
North and West may admonish the ma
jority that moderation is wisest and best
for the moment, and q more statesmanlike
bearing may mark the history of the coming
session. If, so, its work will be soon
done and its term will be comparatively
brief. If, however, it has mischief stamped
upon its purpose, the session will be pro-
tracted stormy and Improbable to the
Democratic party.

IT was to have been hoped when the
champion liar of the Democratic party emf
grated from the National Capital to the
State of New Hampshire, to poison and
dilute the sentiment of the Granite State,
that some slight improvement for truthful
ness might come upon the sickly adventure
left here to mark the track of the tramp,
but "just as the twig is bent the trees in

to take up the role with youthful vigor
The following is specimen OF loves young
dream of Justification. Iu referring to Gov
ernor CORNELL, it says:
1t is true that the man whom Republican
Administration degraded for much inferior
position because his methods were too corrupt
for further tolerance has been elected to the
Chief MRgistraCy of the Empire State, and the
Administration that thus degraded and branded
him has contributed its moral" pecuniary
aud oratorcal aid TO his election to that high
and responsible position.
The above is gross perversion Of the
truth and a shameless slander of the man
who has been honored with the Executive
chair of the State of New York. Whatever
OtlleI ledSOn may nave Dccn ulseu LOT Jhe
displacement of Mr. CORNELL from Ma
tionul position, the statement that it was
"because his methods were too corrupt for
further tolerance is bald and indefensi-
Bile calumny, for which there is not n shadow
of justification. The writer of the caum-
nious paragraph knew it to be gross slam
der when it was uttered and hence its ut
terauce will he reprehended by every decent
man in the Nation The official methods
of Mr.. CORNELL have never been impeached
or even questioned by friend or foe before
on the score of corruption. Either STOP
slandering your betters or go West, young
man.

liical discussions more than IL does upon
the facts to sustain its case. History does
not confirm the truth of the assumption that
the South is by nature placable;" !" on the
contrary, the evidence greatly preponderates
on the other side of such proposition. 1t
is undoubtedly true that all its interests lie
and have lain upon the side of the fullest
" the most familiar interchange of CONNER
cial, political and personal relationship"
us it asserts, but it is equally true that
whenever Republican has transferred his
residence and his capital to the South, those
interests have been sacrificed by the feel
ings of local and political hate. The South
are no doubt placable when they come
North to purchase merchandise on credit
for heretofore they have done that to q
large extent, and have subsequently saved
millions to themselves through the agency
of q bankrupt law that was passed
largely in the interest of the South So
far they have been placable until their
peculiar ends were answered. but
when Northern Republicans have attemp-
ted to take up residence and hold busi-
ness interests and relations in common
with the Southern people, they have almost
invariably found themselves the victims of
social and political ostracism. And under
this implacable spirit the white and coored
Democrats have alike been divested of their
rights of citizenship through illegitimate
agencies, until at least seven Republican
States have been captured by the Demo-
cratic party This the C-J. charges upon
the Republican party substantially, when
it is in fact born Of Southern implacability.
1t complains that the Republicans charge
the people of the South with being mur-
derers and assassins. Well, are they
not ? While all the people of the
South may not be personally guilty of
murder and assassination, n portion of them
are, and the balance so far approve their
action that it has not rs yet been possible
to convict of either of these oflcnses unde r
the plainest proofs when the murdered
man has been n Republican and the MUIR
derer a Democrat. This fact, which stares
the country in the face, has led the North
to stigmatize the South with the response
bility Of these crimes. They have been ap-
plauded and shielded from punishment by
the Southern people until they are justly
held as particeps criminis in all the ofTenses
of this character that have been perpe-
trated there in the name and interest of
Democracy. The North, under the circum-
stances, has exercised a patience unparal-
leled in the history of any people.

THE Cincinnati Gasetc wildly suggests
that that city shall be selected as the place
for holding the next National Republican
convention, but admits that there are
"prejudices about Ohio" We add, with
emphasis, that the cow-shed accommoda-
tions afforded to the last National conven-
tion have possibly increased the prejudice
against Cincinnati in particular
