PROOFS OF CANCELLATION.

Scarcely day passes that does not de-
velop in some shape the remarkable pro-
gress that Cancellation, reconciliation, and
a love for the Government and its flag is
making in the South. The Quitman Free
Press furnishes recent instance of recon-
ciliation and love for the Old Flag. II ap-
pears that man who loves his country and
its flag, and who tunes pianos for liveli-
hood in and around Quitman, called on the
editor of the Free Press on the morning of
the Fourth strongly impressed with the
spirit of American independence. He took
occasion to criticise the lack of observance
of the Glorious Fourth by the people of
Quitman, and TO do so in his own independ-
ent way This aroused the ire of the afore-
said editor, who Immediately interviewed
him by hurling goblet Mt his head, with a
female accompaniment in the form Of his
wife, who pitched into the offending patriot
with the vigor and policy Of q butcher boy
The patriot escaped with his life, and on
the next day the Free Press contained the
following account of the scrimmage in terms
more vigorous than ornate:
The miserable old villain, named HOLDER
who comes around annually aud makes his liv'
ing out of our people tuning pianos, was terri
bly, incensed while In Quitman on the 4th be
cause our people were not shooting guns ant
flying the Old Flag. When told by us that the
people had something else to do and that indi
vidnally we were not particularly in love with
the Fourth of July or the Old Flag the old
cuss made personal matter of it, declared
himself the champion of the flag, and advised
us to leave tho countryat once. The difficulty
was of his own seeking and commencing; hi
language was insulting and intolerable; and il
the goblet missed his head 1t was because III
ducked. We consider him Il prejudiccd, sore
headed, bloody.shirt warrior OF the first water
without discretion or serse to hide his vndic
tveness when in the South. We advise ou
people to let him pass in the future and en-
ploy some more worthy person to tune thei
pianos.
II is evident that pNc6cation and patriot
ism are as much out of tune at Quitman a
their pianos, and that it is not safe for
man who reveres his country, its flag, ant
its birthday to even attempt to ply tn
harmless vocation of tuning pianos unles
he first renounces all these Great an
pactied country

DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE.
The "Sun's" Clever Whine.
r ~

To The Editor Of he National Republican:
SIR The Baltimore sun has an article on the
above subject, which is II clever whine in be-
half of its kind. 1t says There are likely
enough, as is claimed, good many persons in
the Departments whose political sympathies
are not in accord with tho Republican party,
but no case has been established Whcre any of those
hare oJirtided their rie,rs or permitted them to
interfere in any Tdy rih The proper discharge
Of their duties II rou'd therefore appear red-
sondJle that Whdterer clamor may be raised III
regard 10 The matter, he President ir0nld not
icy 10 such an extent as 10 eject bodies of men
from Office when no complaint can be found piM
their manner of diSchdrging their duties. Tho
italics arc mine. Suppose these men In Office,
whose "sympathies are not with itho Republi-
can party" do not obtrude their views, but do
perform their duties acccptably. did the Re-
publicans in the Senate aud House obtrudo
their views upon the assembled wisdom of either
House, or did they not perform their duties
acceptably? The fact is the debate on the
subject of the removal of the Senate employ
ees disclosed the fact that no fault could be
found with regard to faithfulncss and effi-
cheney of those employees, but that they were
discharged solely for the reason that Ito the
victor belongs the spois." In this instance, AS
in many others, the Democrats were the first
to set aside the principles of civil service re-
form aud now, with cheek that would break
the leg of mule, they plead civil service re-
form when their rebel sympathzers are in
danger OF losing office. In opposition to these
men whoSe sympdthies are not With the Republican
party we urge that there aro plenty of men
whose sympathies are with the Republican
party, who are, everything else being equal, on
| that account better fitted to discharge these
| official duties. We urge further that the Re-
publican party has no right to pursue this sui
cdal policy of furnishing their enemies with
ammunition to shoot the Union to DEATH 1t
is not "to the victor belongs the spoils," but to
the "defenderS Of The Union belong The fruits of a
| restored aud prosperous country"
If | remember correctly an honorable Sem
ator on the floor of the Senate during concil-
| iatory speech on the subject of removals said
The sympathies of the employees of this body
ought to be in accord with the principles of the
majority" &c. So | say and maintain that
the sympathies of tho employees Of the Execu-
| tive Departments Of this Government ought to
be in accord with the Republican party.

A Choice Social Brick.

TO The Editor of The National Republican;
SIR: The Democratic organ is in ectacies.
Its editor has been practicng the interview
business on himself, and announces in his
own columns that "the HON. ~ Stllson
Hutchins is hell ofa fellow in his way"
should think so. The people of Dubuque know
$50. The people of Peoria entertain the same
opinion, and in st. Louis the claim can be
established by cloud of witnesses among the
police, the gamblers, and the cdndiHe general
ly. Stilson lived in st. Louis Us "a hell of u
fellow" and he left only as "a hell of fellow"
would leave. He came here as "a hell of q fel-
low In his way" and has maintained the char.
acter only as "a hell Of u fellow" could possibly
do. Nobody but "a hell of n fellow" who was
out of meat, would have attempted to steal the
Government Printing Office bodily, leaving
not shred to mark the spot where ii stood.
Nobody but "a hell of n fellow" could have bled
Belmont, Tilden, ard Jay Gould to the
tune Of tens of thousands of dollars
each, aud then satisfied them that a
chattel mortgage on 5000 worth of traps, in
| the shape of worn printing materials, was am
Pile security for $4,000. Nobody but "a hell
| of fellow in his way" could utter such shame
less lies as he does and then look honest people
| in tho face. Nobody but "a hell of fellow"
| could have duped members of Congress into
heavy contributions to sustain him in his &C.
| centricities of social aud financial habit. No
| body but "a hell of fellow" would have bled
John Roach and then mulled his case into. de-
| feat by too great prominence in the matter
Nobody but "a hell of a fellow" would put his
foot into every job before Congress and by his
greed tip all their dishes over
Mr.. Editor it takes "a hell of Il fellow" to dc
| all these things, and under a casual observa-
| tiOn of his multitudinous performances, here
and elsewhere, l have come to the deliberate
conclusion that the Hon. (Yl Stilson HutchinI
is just that kind of fellow.

REvIvING STALE CHARGES.

We do not pretend TO deny that there vas
rather aggravating in Senator WIN
DoM's challenge to the Democracy the other
day to name one Republican whom their thir-
ty-three investigating committees-which had
cost the Government from u quarter to half q
million dolars-had proved to have stolen a
dollar from the National Treasury.
The truth of the matter is, these gentlemen
are trying to revive stale charges for campaign
purposes. 1t is too late. They have been used
and exhausted. No one denies-at least the
Tribune does not-that there was period dur
ing General GRANTS administration when
continued success and protracted possession
of almost unrestricted power had come to have
upon the Republican party their inevitable
and invarable effect in drawing mercenary
seli-seekcrs and camp-followers into its ranks
at the same time that they induced careless
ness and negligence on the part of its trusted
leaders. That abuses crept In and loose prac-
tces became alariningly prevalent can
not be denied. Republicans saw the
evil tendency. and first protested against and
rebuked it. Thousands emphasized their pro-
test by refusing to support the men in power.
At this point we are free to say the Demo-
cratic party was q boon. Republicans who
never had the remotest thought Of joining 1t,
but who thought they could not conscientious
ly act with their own party, used it as re-
minder to the latter of its responsibility to the
the best purpose it had ever served. The
withdrawal of so many honest men from their
party brought Republican leaders to their
Senses They promised reform within the
party" We do not need to say that they full
filled their promise. 1t is a matter of history
that they set Oh foot the most thorough and
searching Investigations in every direction in
which suspicion pointed, aud that wherever
dishonesty was found it was vigorously pun.
ished The best tribute that could be paid tO
the thOrOughuess of that work and the com
pleteness with which Republican promises
were fulfilled, Is found in the barrenness OF re-
suits attained ty the thirty-three committees
that have since followed. There is no capital
to be made by Democrats on that score now.-
Ne,D York Tribune.
If the thirty-three Congressional com.
mittees who failed TO discover one Repub-
lican who had stolen dollar from the Ma
tionaI Treasury were unable to furnish SEN
ators DAVIS and BECK and SALISBURY
with the ammunitien TO fire of in response
TO Senator WINDOWS challenge, we think
il was altogether unnecessary for the New
York Tribune 10 attempt q vindication ol
President GRANTS administration es'
pecially as Democratic yindication OF his
administration, is more gratifying to the
Republican party and to the millions ol
"honest men" in our party who did not
believe that "reform within the party" was
TO be gained by desertion to and coalition
with the corrupt and dsloyal Democracy
than anything that could be said for it by
the New York Tribune. Indeed many "hon-
est Republicans" will think that the New

IT is in vain that the Democrats attempt
to answer Senator CoNKLING's great speech
on the revenues of the Government. When
these same Democrats, and particularly the
Southern portion of them, sought a reduc-
tion of the taxes on whisky and tobacco,
they claimed 1t in behalf of their produc-
ing constituents aud denied that the con-
sumer alone always pays the tax upon any
article ofimpost. Now, however, they claim
that Mr.. CoNKLING's figures showing that
receipts from the customs and internal reve-
nue. duties for the support of the Govern
ment are nearly all collected in the North
were wrong. They no longer deny that the
consumers, not the producers, nor the inn
porters, pay the taxes. II makes some diff
ference to them, it would appear, whose OK
is being gored, But the people are not to
be blinded by this inconsistency, nor will
they be misled by the sophistry with which
it is enveloped. They know that the con-
suming class pay all the taxes; that the
producing classes derive great benefit from
the consumption of untaxed goods in origi-
nal packages and that the preponderating
population of the North furnishes the larg-
est number of consumers. This latter fact
is alone sufficient to sustain the correctness
of Mr. CoNKLING's theory.

York Tribune is as liable 20 attempt to re-
vive stale charges, where they might possi-
bly, serve its purpose to defame General
GRANT as any Democratic Congressional
committee.
"No one denies Cat least THE REPUBLI-
"hns had some mercenary self-seekers and
"camp-followers in its ranks" but at this
point we are free to say the Democratic
"party was boom" rs their withdrawal
into its ranks under the pretense of con-
scientious desire for reform within the
party" generally worked the desired OBJ
ject, since it relieved the Republican party
of some few hundred Of canting hypocrites,
who arrogated to themselves the right TO
dictate TO il terms of leadership, with them
Others in the party. Nor do we deny that
these uncO' righteous "reformers" succeeded
in leading some thousands of honest men
into the error of Democratic affiliations in
search of superincly pure party. These
honest men, however, soon saw their error,
and it is gratifying TO know that they soon
returned TO the true faith. 1t is not, how
ever, so gratifying to know that many of
their so-calletl reform leaders sneaked back
into the Republican camp, after their mis-
led followers, as soon as possible, when they
found that the Democratic party appreci-
ated them at their proper value. They
came back because hypocrisy always sue
ceeds best among good, honest people.

Multiplying that aid. The time had come,
however, when that statute was nothing
more than dead letter The number of
young men in the South who had grown to
the age of complete citizenship since the
war furnished au abundant resource from
which jurors could be drawn, all of whom
could take the test-oath and yet all of
whom sympathized with the rebellion or
against the class of voters in question
The only significance in the repeal was
therefore found in the Democratic desire to
destroy another barrier for the protection
of free suffrage in the South.

ments has been brought about by the accounts he

shake Off These same parties he has been In.

expresses the greatest aversion, He has therefore
made up his mind TO exile himself until after the
