SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE SURRENDER

The Republican party of the North has act
cd upon the idea and principle that the South
has been hectored and intimidated by her de-
feat in war that she is laboring under fear
of the North. We tell them, the people of the
North, all men and all parties, that the South
fears nothing. She neither sacrificed nor sur
rendered any of her cherished principles, and
she is ready at any time TO viudicate her
honor and rights whenever assailed. Like a
wounded man, lying bleeding and helpless
after having fought as one 10 four. or four
against one will take insults and injury be-
cause he is powerless to resent them.
Such was the condition Of the South when
she came out OF her tour years struggle with
the North. We cheerfully admit we cannot
with 1000 men whip 100000. We admit
that, but we admit nothing else. Brute force
recognizes no law but brute force, and the
South surrendered to brute force.-Sarannah
Recorder.
The Recorder entirely misapprehends the
attitude and feelings Of the Republican
party of the North toward the people OF
the South When the war closed the Re-
publicans wanted no more, for they had had
enough off All they desired was that
the South should accept the issues oil
the war with respect and observe them
honestly. This the Southern people did
not do, but, instead, have been constantly
quarreling with these results since and with
the Republican party for insisting that they
should stand as the united judgment OF
the Nation. Here is where all the trouble
has come in. The South had been whipped
on the field of battle and there the matter
should have ended under perfect submis'
sion to the result on the part of the fallen
But not so. The South was guilty of @
fraud when it pretended TO surrender and
did not, as the Recorder now admits, Fol
practicing such deception upon the coun
try the vanquished seem to deserve greater
punishment than they have already re.
ceived.
The smile used by the Recorder, repre-
senting the South as "a wounded man
lying bleeding and helpless after having
" fought az one 10 four or four against one
" who will take insults and injury, becaus,
" he is powerless to resent Them" though
presented in the interest of sympathy, doe

TOT the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: While l deprecate as much as any one
can the practice OF appointing Democrats Of
any shade to positions in the Departments. /
think there is great injustice in directing all
the abuse at tho Administration for making
such appointments believe that every man
should shoulder his portion Of the responsible
ity. it isa fact, perhaps not well understood,
that in almost every instance where Con
fed" has been appointed in II Department he
has been strongly Endorsed and his appoint
ment persistently urged by leading Ropubl-
cans in and out of Congress. Of course they
are recommended by Democrats too, but in
many cases the Republican indorsers predomi-
nate which makes IL look just the least mite
like trick to deceive the appoint ng power,
as to the political proclivites of the applicant.
Whether it is the result of trick or trade
ut the Capitol, or neither will not pretend
to say, but would mildly suggest that x.Unon
| soldiers might, with good deal of propriety,
train their guns on the other end of the Ave-
nue.. If they will take the trouble to investi-
gate the matter am sure that some of them
| who complain SO bitterly will find that mem.
bers Of their own delegations have indorsed
and urged the appointment Of these Rebs.
The truth is, Mr.. Editor, these recommends
| tions to office are entirely too cheap. They
are as plenty as investigating committees.
There is scarcely dead-beat, male or female,
| in the District who cannot 60 to the Capitol
while Congress is in session and secure hat
full of character" in an incredibly short
time. He will be perfectly astonished, when
he reads them over, to see what an intelligent,
influential, religious dead.beat he is; and just
in this feature of our civil service, in my
opinion, lies one of its greatest evils
| In your paper recently case is men,
| toned where one of the secretaries promised
a certain soldier place and failed to keep that
promise. Possibly this is true, but very much
doubt it, for know the Secretary TO be very
cautious about making promises, and also
know that applicants are prone to torture the
least encouragement into a DOWNRIGHT sure
enough promise when it was not intended al

TIE tidal wave ofgood times and general
prosperity which is now flooding the coun-
try after the very low ebb of Resumption
has reached the rock ribbed coasts OF Maine,
and there, as elsewhere, the result is bene-
fetal to the Republican party. The tales
of ruin and disaster upon which the Green
back party builded itself into Aeeting ex-
istence can no longer be truthfully told.
To illustrate this meaning the Kenebec
Journal announces that "the number OF
persons helped by the authorities in Au-
"gusta this year is less than one-third what
it was last year" This means that even
the pauper class has felt the improvement
of the times, fact which gives certain in
dication that the industrious classes and
the able-boded laborers Of the State have
employment full and plenty. And this
encouraging fact is supplemented by the
statement Of another observant journal
which sails under the striking name OF
Honest Truth, that there never was time
since Maine became State when its pro
ducts would exchange for so large portion
of the products of the outside world. Fur
ther, that there never was time when n
bushel of potatoes or ton of hay woul d
buy so much corn or so much 6our-sc
much of woolen goods or cotton goods, hats
caps, boots aud shoes. Verify, this mus
be discouraging situation to the Green
back Democratic combination, whose onl,
hope of success is based upon the discon
tent ofgeneral public calamity.

THE Boston Herald from the exaltation
of an Independence in politics which
amounts to absolute indifference of results,
proposes that the tickets Of 1876 shall be
renomiuated by their respective parties in
1880. In concluding this suggestion, how
ever, 1t remarks in effect that President
HAYES is more popular with the Republi-
can party now than he was when Domi-
mated, which is not the case with TILDEN
and the Democracy. But the Herald seems
to forget that President HAYES is irrevo-
cably pledged to the one-term theory, fact
which leaves TILDEN alone as the only
available candidate in this proposition TO
revive the old antogonisms. The result,
then, of its suggestion is simply and practi-
cally an Endorsement Of the Cipher Ogre
but an Endorsement, we are inclined To
think, that is not heartily supported by the
Massachusetts Democracy.

Army and Navy, and the puny arm Of Con-
gress has no power 10 disarm that prercga-
tive. When the public peace is violated
and the rights Of citizenship are trampled
upon by ruthless Democratic mobs, whether
armed or unarmed, it is the province of the
President to use the army to suppress vio-
lence, restore order, and enforce the law.
Troops never have been, and never will be,
used under any other circumstances and
the President fails in the discharge of his
constitutional duty when he shall neglect
to enforce the authority of the Government
in preserving the peace and protecting the
right during Federal elections. None but
those who desire to debauch the elections
and defraud the people of their rights have
ever yet objected to the election laws and
the suppression of wrong and violence by
United States troops, and never will. None
but Democrats do that thing.
