A BEAUTIFUL FIGURE.

GENERAL STEWART L. WooDFoRD, of
New York, at the Chicago banquet of the
Army of the Tennessee, responded to the
toast "The Army of the Potomac" and
made the following beautiful reference TO
the two armies:
With great advonturesomeness of daring,
with mighty marches with great combina-
tion of will and force, you swept over thou
sands of miles until You had made the Missis.
sppi the pathway of the Imperial Republic
in the future. And so, with weary watching,
with painfulness of discipline, we guarded
the halls wheio met tho conscript fathers of
the Republic, aud we kept from unballowed
touch the ashes that slept at Mount Vernon.
Yours was the inspiration of the Nations fu-
turc; ours was the inspiration of the Nations
past. yet in a common source both had their
rise.
On the sunset slopes of the Allegheny hills
sprang into light and kissed the sun that
stream that by many windings at last emptied
into the Gulf. On the sunset slope of the
same Allegheny hills was born the river
whose deathless name our army bore. So.
from the same mountain heights of loyalty
to law, of loyalty to liberty, your army and
ours were born. BY many miles the waters
OF the Tennessee emptied into the Gulf. By
shorter course the Potomac emptied into the
Atlantic, but with minging tides Gulf and
Atlantic are one ocean, watching the shores Of
that ocean-bound Republic; and so your effort
and ours float into the one great deep of the
Nations unity and the Nations power.

SUPPOSE, for arguments sake, that the
Centralizing powers of the General Govern
ment were to be asserted exactly as the
Bourbons claim the Republican party would
like to assert them-what would be the re-
suit? Would business be interfered with?
Would society be subjected to any per-
nicious upheaval? Would civilization be
retarded Would our governmental system
be endangered? Certainly not but among
other things that would happen would be
the protection of citizens of the United
States at home as we'll as abroad, and
the enjoyment of the same privileges
of citizenship in the same way in
all of the States, North and South.
The power and dignity of the General
Government would no longer rest upon
rope of sand,' and equable treatment OF
every class of citizenship, high and low,
black or white, would be established the
country over. But all this is what the
Bourbons do not want, and what they will
not submit to, except under National Ad-
ministration characterized by the attributes
of stern loyalty to the Constitutional amend
ments and the most intrepid firmness of
cha rnptnr

THE official order of the Grand Marshal
relating to the order of the procession on
the occasion of the unyeiling of the THOMAS
statue to-day was issued by General CRIT
TENDEN last Monday, and copies furnished
to the press for publication on Tuesday
morning. In THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
and other respectable journals it was
printed exactly as it was prepared by that
gentleman. But it remained for the Post
of this city to stultify itself, and, so far as
possible, to disgrace the profession Of jour
nalism by garblng it in contemplate
way, for the purpose of gratifying mean
and low-liyed partisan spite. This was
done by substituting the word Mr." in the
programme for the word President
wherever the latter occurred. In the same
issue of that delectabe sheet is to be found
q plea that to-day's ceremonies shall be
free from all political influences and taints.
But of such Inconsistencies and petty spite
is the average modern Bourbon organ
always compounded.

able point in his character, that he twisted
and turned and jumped on one side and
then on the other of the fence, and finally
straddled it, on The finance question. And
the same explanation is to be offered for
his devious course in the late extra session
regarding the repeal of the National Elec-
tion laws. Thus it happens that he is now
being divested of his official robes, prepar-
atory to the embalming process required

the Government aud people-was not exaotsd
from them.
Under this inspiration the education Of tho
great body of the people, moral, religious and
political, has boon turned into channels
wherein all might unite in common. The
impoverishment Of tbs South, resulting from
war and its concomitsnts tho emancipation Of
slaves and the consequent loss Of substance,
the ambiguity and uncertainty Of political
rights and financial values, as well as personal
rivalries, have all combined to strengthen the
efforts of perncious teachers. The evil dono
has been great, and 1t is not discernible that
ON immediate improvement may be expected.

GEOGRAPHICALLY, the resignation of Mr..
SEWARD and the appointment of Colonel
JOHN HAY as Assistant Secretary of State,
which per Sc is an excellent selection, takes
just so much from the patronage enjoyed by
the State of New York and transfersit to Ohio,
which has too long suffered neglect in this
regard. 1t is barely possible that the Buck

IN one respect, at least the Southern
Democrats and Southern Republicans bear
close resemblance to each other. They are
both expected to vote for Northern candi-
dates of their respective parties, because, in
the self-satisfed judgment of some, if not a
majority, of their Northern fellow-partisans,
it would either he bad policy to go South
for candidates, or that candidates from that
section cannot be trusted. Yet the Repub.
lican party owes the election of President
HAYES to the sturdy and unpurchaseable
fealty of its Southern adherents, and the
Democratic party looks to the Solid South
for the success of its ticket next year. Ii
the former instance it is case of base in.
gratitude; in the latter, the worst kind OF
selfish demagogism.

THE Democratic ticket next year. il is
now very generally conceded, will be COM
posed of candidates from New York and
Indiana, provided, of course, tho BAYARD
boom dies out meanwhile. This concess ion,
or decision, is based upon the hope that
those two States may be carried because
of the selection of candidates from them,
and the certainty that their votes, added to
those of the Solid South, will elect the Bour-
bon ticket But, we rise to remark, the
Solid South may be broken into or broken
up, if the Republicans are wise enough to
pursue a similar policy and select one OF
their candidates FROM the doubtful States
of Florida and North Carolina, in that sec
tiOn. At the same time we willingly ad-
nit that the same result would be as likely

THE average Northern Republican seems
to proceed in his treatment of the Southern
wing of the party upon the assumption that
Southern Republicans cannot be abused too
much, that they thrive best under kicking
and cutting, and that they will not be
driven out of the party ranks. Perhaps
this assumption is true-at any rate,
thousands upon thousands of them have re-
fused to leave it, even under the persuasive
influences of the knife, the torch, and the
revolver. And it is one of the most mex
plicable anomalies of the age that men who
have defed these influences, who have been
tried as in the furnace of fire, and who
have never quailed in the support of their
principles, are deemed to be unworthy of
trust by certain holier-than-thou class of
their fellow Republicans of the North.
