The promised season of Mr. Golfers company,

last evening The public have already been made
well acquainted with the peculiar attractions ORA

son 1.-THE National. Its rendition at that time by
Messrs. James. flanagan, Denham Downing Miss
Joyce, Mrs. Allen, and others of Mr.. Ford's last
years company was among the most crcdable
efforts of those excellent actors and naturally fur
OF even a New York combination would
be exactingly considered. Mr.. Golfers com.
pany Is, however, made up of good and
generally efficient performers, several OF
whom have attained deserved prominence In
their profession Mr.. Narrcy the iube'crre of the
play, is an old friend whose return to the National
although temporary, we are glad TO note. He is an
actor OF considerable versatility. and especially
liked as an mpersonator of the courtly old gentle
man of the dHcicn regime. His presence with us
this week will afford an opportunity of reviving
or making an acquaintance which the patrons OF
the National cannot but regard as plcasurable.
Mr.. L. X. Collier is promising young member OF
talent and whose jean Rendud, if rid of certain
oddities in elocution and prominent manner
isIns, would combine attraCtveness with
its strength. Mr.. OBricn, Dennis OROuke, is
excellent in dialect and altogether acceptable in
depicting the gallant Irish soldier and the faithful
of great experience, and long and fRyorably known
to the habitues of many American theatres.

THE NATIONAL REruBL1CAN

is the only daily Republican journal at the Ma
tional Capital. Its general and local news
facilities are such as to render IL tho most
thorough newspaper south of Philadelphia.
Its telegraph arrangements are far more per-
feet and reliable than those of any other
morning Journal here. Its corps of local, de-
Partmenial, and Congressional reporters arc
intelligent, experienced, and efficient, and IL
never allows uselfto be oltttlone in editorial
enterprise or news In any direction.
Politically THE NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN is n fearless and ready defender of the
Republican faith-never shrinking from duty
responsibility, but dealing with all ques-
tions of political concernmcnt in n just, frank,
and fearless manner. II battles for the right
in politics as it sees the right. 1t respects all
tile decencios, proPrieties, and moralitics of
life in its conduct, sacrificing none of these to
policy, eNpediency, or so-called journalistic
enterprise, and in this way 1t strives to secure
public respect, confidence, and success. 1t

for many years, and II is laboring, and will
continue to labor, to increase the measure of

THE GREENBACK SURRENDER.

The Nationals, or Greenbackers, as they
are pleased alternately to call themselves,
delivered the goods on Saturday, and now
everything is serene. This is as we ex-
pectcd. The laws of grayitation have
wrought their legitimate mission and land
ed these patriots where they belong. When
a Republican loses hold upon his political
faith and virtue and begins TO daily with
strange political gods he inevitably abnn-
bons himself to the deepest political prosti-
tuition upon the first favorable opportunity
and bid. The bid was made and the yielding
occurred on Saturday, and now the Green
hackers in Congress, with two or three honor
able exceptions, are fairly enrolled on the
Confederate roster, Some belonged there
from the first, but the balance, who surren-
dered, most cheerfully prostituted them
selves to the uses and purposes of the Con-
federates for less money than JUDAS IsCA-
RIOT got for the betrayal of his Master. II

Judgment against the signs of the times
which are pointing to the contest of 1880
In recent number it says
The decided and almost enthusiastic
preference of Republicans for GRANT, al
most to the exclusion of any other name, Is a
political phenomenon arising from such q COM
pleXity of causes that it is difficult to state
them. The general revival Of his old popular
ity is undoubtedly due chiefly to the reaction
of Northern sentiment caused by the spectacle
of q Solid South actually controlling one branch
of the Government and preparing to seize
another. The threatened restoration of the late
Southern Confederacy to the control Of the Gov
ernment naturally alarms the patriotic sent-
ment of the North-perhaps TO q degree entire
ly disproportionate to the real danger--and in
this emergency it is natural tho Republicans
should turn TO the great chief whose fortune
it has been to be popularity accepted as the rep =
resentative and embodiment of the patriotic
sentiment of the country. Various circum-
stances have contributed to restore and increase
his popularity, and the unfortunate scandals
which tarnished tho lustre of his administIa-
tion are nearly forgotten in the recollection Of
its marked general success-and tho failings Of
some of his subordinates, as well as his own,
are lost sight of in the general recognition OF
the solid strength, firmness, practical prudence,
and patriotic spirit of his administration, and
of the sound common sense which generally
controlled it, The third term objection weighs
apparently still less in the popular sentiment
which is rallying around GRANT with an en-.
thusiam which is inspired partly by real sem
timent of admiration for the man, partly by q
general confidence in his strong practical
horse" sense, but more by sort of spon.
taneous recognition of the fact that he is, in
spite of all objections, by far the most availa.
bic candidate for the Republicans; thut the

one whose leadership would be accepted as q

gency demands the sinking of all factious diff
lerenCes and the union Of all the patriotic ele.

IT is claimed that the army bill as it now
stands awaiting action in the Senate does
not prohibit the President from responding
to legitimate call for troops" in the event
of domestic violence in the States, nor does
it restrict him from the proper use Of the
army in emergencies which are disconnected
with the proceedings Immediately attendant
upon national elections. But this construc-
ton is at variance with the ideas of the Re-
publicans of the House, If it were correct
there would be nothing in the law to which
the President entertains any serious obiec'
ton, and it would be safe to assume that he
would approve it without delay as an inde-
pendent proposition.

AND all this only moves us to say that there
never would have been any trouble between
the races in the South If the Republican party
had not instigated it.-LyHchJlTg Iirginidn
And this assertion moves us to say that it
is base falsehood and calumny upon the
Republican party. The trouble between the
races in the South has arisen out of Demo-
cratic social and political ostracism for color
and opinion sake, and the introduction Of a
system of Democratic intimidation and MUIR
der on account of colored citizenship and its
exercise against the Democrats at the polls.
As well might our purblind cotemporary
charge that the Republican party fired the

Ir any man can read in the light OF ordi-
nary intelligence the debates in the House
of last week without reaching the conclu-
sion that modern Democracy is indissolubly
welded to the Lost Cause we are sadly mis-
taken. From first to last the Democratic
assertion was in favor Of the supremacy Of
the State over the NATIONAL Government
and the utter inability Of the latter TO pro-
tect itself in the matter Of the election of its
own officials against the encroachments Of
the former. This is secession, mildly as
serted, and nothing less.

The Boston Globe is thoroughly dough-
face Bourbon, and it says it thinks that
General GRANT cannot carry single North
ern State. If it has any confidence in such
a declaration and is as thrifty as the aver
age New EnGlander in the way of money
making, we can, we think, put it in the way
of turning an honest penny one way or the
other We are authorized to offer it a wager
of 500 on each Northern State if General
GRANT is the candidate in 1850, that he
will carry each in that contest. We are not
favorable to betting on elections, but we
have u friend who has some idle capital and
some confidence in General GRANTS popu-
larity, and to sweeten such a wager he will
add to the above proposition another of SlOO
that GRANT will carry all the Northern
States, should he be a candidate.
