therefore, of little consequence TO him, ex-
cept in the light Of the fact that boom
may be evolved out of it as the natural re-
suit of unjust persecution. How would the
Tribune like to see CARPENTER boom, ell ?
THE opposition of Congressman Tom
BROWNE, OF Indiana, to Judge SETTLEfor the
Vice Presidency because he is Southern
man is refreshing in the extreme. We
happen to know that Mr.. BROWNE owes his
present seat in Congress to the zeal and
tact fone of the ignored Southern Rcpub-
licans who, in September, 1873, telegraphed
to the indianapolis Journal, at his own ex-
pense, the charge made by ex-Doorkeeper
FITZHuGH of Judge HoLMAN's duplicity
toward a one-leGged Union soldier of In
diana. otonly did the aforesaid Southern
Republican obtain certificates from FITZ-
HUGH, buthe secured such strong corrobora-
tive evidence rs to leave no doubt of HoL-
MANS guilt, aud the Union soldiers repu-
dated him on the day of the election, re.
turning Mr.. BROWNE by over 500 majority.
MIR. BROWNE may have thought that the
Southern Republican who thus efficiently
served him and the Republican party was
a "carpet-bagger," but we assure him that,
like Judge SETTLE, he is to the manor
born" The fact is, that no Southern Repub-
lican since the war has ever acted trcaoher
ously toward the Republican party, The
little upsavory acts of few persons in
louisiana and Florida in 1876 were per-
formed by men who scarce had a two.years
| residence i'll those States. The two most
disreputable characters furnished by the
South after the war were ANDREW JOHN
son and Governor MOSES, of South Carolina.
The former was u lifelong Democrat, while
the latter was also of strong Democratic an
tecedents, having MS the private secretary
of Governor PIcKENs, of South Carolina in
1861, aided in pulling down the flag from
Fort Sumter. Southern Republicans are
not made of the stuff to yield TO Democratic
Establishment, and class of men whose
nerve and integrity made possible the pres
ent Republican Administration should be
exempt from the insinuations of men like
Mr.. Tom BROWNE, who, above all others,
should not speak slightingly of them us

UNWILLING or the STATUE.

We publish elsewhere the details of the
proceedings connected with the unwilling
of the statue of General GEORGE II.
THOMAS IN ertenso and hence there is
no call for further remark than such
as will characterize the affair us
whole. We regard the occasion rs an emf
nent success, though perhaps there may
have been some defects in carrying out its
minor details, such, for instance, as the fur
nishing of tickets to the seats in the Circle
where the unwilling took place when there
were no numbers Oh the chairs correspond
ing to those on the tickets-a circumstance
which led to some confusion and disap-
pointment on the part of ticket-holders
This shows that the details were not per-
feet, inasmuch as it enabled those who OBJ
tanned early admission TO the Circle surrepti-
tiously or otherwise, to gobble up the sit
ting space and leave many who were en-
titled thereto to betalle themselves to the
cold earth for standing room. Aside from
this the arrangements seemed to have been
very perfect and satisfactory.
The unwilling ceremonies were peculiarly
appropriate, interesting and impressive.
The address of the Hon. STANLEY MAT
THEws was very able and eloquent through
out Its history of General THOMAS.
though brief, was exceedingly instructive
and faithful. Its treatment of the causes,
issues and incidents of the civil war was ex-
ceedingly able and forcble, and called forth
unbounded plaudits. From first to last it
was rich in its rhetoric, forcible in its argu-
ment and instructive i'll its history, and il
may be briefly summed up as the gospel of
true American patriotism. There is much
in it to challenge the admiration of the
| loyal people of the United States, and Dor
tion which should be read with candid care
by those who attempted to take the Ma
tional life, for its teachings are so plain and
so just-so profitable for precept and exam
truths aud arguments cannot result other
wise than in q conversion from the dogmas
of State sovereignty and the right of seces-
sion TO the.higher doctrines of loyalty
aud patriotism which sustain q united and
indivisible Nation, in which the States shall
be respected in all their municipal rights
md interests.
The presentation of the THOMAS statue
to the President as the representative of
the United States was happy in expression,
and its ac2AotanCe for the Nation by its
Chief Magistrate was couched in brietf Int
exceedingly appropriate and lelicitous terms.
The other exercises were marked by pro-
priety throughout and the display and
ceremonials were really among the most
agreeable and interesting that have ever
marked the history Of the National Capital
1t was fitting tribute to the personal and
soIdierly virtues Of true hero and patriot,
the incidents Of which will long have
pleasant place in the memories of his COM
rades-in-nrms during our civil war.

Major Hanneman was assisted in his command by
Lieutenants OConnor, Brouner and Golden.
One of the noticeable features that lent brliancy
to the gay appearance of Pennsylvania avenue last
evening was the electric light In the lantern of the
Capitol building. II seems, however, that this was
but a small flame, and not the large one especially
intended for the top Of the dome when illumnat-
ingly bright, and observable for u circuit of many
miles. J. Harry Rodgers, the electrician of the
Capitol, proposes TO have the electric apparatus for
lighting up the entire building completed by the

dertaken the job of healing the breach be-

than the ordinary evidence OF their esteem

casion of his visit to that section next
month. At the close of the war, in 1865, he
visited that section and was everywhere the
recipient of boundless hospitality. The
Southern people had not then forgotten the
fact, memories of which have been recently
revived, that he extended to General LEE
and his armies at Appomattox the most
liberal and magnanimous terms OF surren-

temptation may be, by his nomination for
the Presidency by the South, if it had not
been for ANDREW JoHNsoN's schemes for
reelection which required his displace-
ment from the exalted regard in which he
was then held by the Southern people, and
especially by his former Confederate OPP
pOnents. That displacement was duly
effected by processes well known to every
man who took the slightest interest in
politics at that time; and he was made to
appear as an enemy Of the South instead of
n friend, as he really was. But times have
changed since then, and unknown numbers

GENERAL GRANT failed to carry New

qualification to the Opposition. But we
rise to remark that Tweedism was soon
thereafter overthrown and that he carried
it in 1872, as President HAYES also did in
1876. The firm of TWEED & TILDEN,
which prevailed to overcome the legitimate

HoRATIo SEYMoUR's advanced age does
not disquaify him as Democratic nomi-

Hoodlum organ, in the columns of which
the cries of the bad boys, mentioned in the
Sacred Book rs having been devoured by u
vengeful ring Of hungry she-bears, are often
repeated ms applicable to Republicans who
are his juniors by several years. But, seri-
ously speaking, the idea of nominating Mr..
SEYMOUR for any office is a cruel one, and
one that will not be entertained for an in
slant by him or any of his disinterested
friends. He went into and through the
campaign of 1868 against the advice Of his
physicians, who plainly warned him that
the hereditary misfortune of his family, in-
sanity, might be developed in him as the
result of undue excitement, and that either
defeat or success in that contest might be
followed by the utter overthrow of his men
tai organism. But, as we have said before,
he was crazy enough to 90 into that contest
under the delusion that Boss TWEED and
s. JONES TILDEN might count him in, and
there his political career came to an end.
He will never tempt fate again

THE Chicago Tribune is amazed that SEN

Possibly the Tribune is right in its dcclara-

premises but we doubt il for the reason
that the average opinion regarding the in

At any rate, il was copied into aud COM

THE escape from merited punishment for
their crimes by the big rogues of this coun-
try is one of the marvels of our system of
government in the eyes of the average for
eIgner. Not only are our late rebels re-
turned to place and power, but such men
as Cipher Ogre TILDEN and his criminal CO.
parceners are permitted to take part in pub
lie affairs, instead of being Gagged up in the
penitentiary, where they rightfully belong
And, despite these self-evident facts, there
are those among us who object to the whole
sale shipment to this country of the convict
classes by foreign governments.
