the REoRoANIzpp COMMITTEE.

The election of Senator CAMERON to be
Chairman of the Republican National Com
mittee was foregone conclusion even be-
fore the Committee met yesterday, and was
the result of the desire Of the majority OF
that distinguished body to place mt the head
of the National party machinery man who
is known not to be the pronounced or
recognized advocate of any especial or in
diyidual aspirant for the nomination. 1t is
nevertheless fact that Mr.. CAMERoNs
earnest preferences are for the denomination
of General GRANT, and his selection will ac-
cordingly be recorded as an indication of
the growing strength of the so-called
GRANT movement But his relations with
Secretary SHERMAN and Senator BLAINE
are of that acceptable, intimate and friendly
character which will insure harmony,
unity and conciliatory endeayor for
the success of the grand, Iallying
principles of the party, no matter upon
whom the choice of the nominating con-
vention may fall. These considerations
were no doubt the prompting motives of
the eulogistic speech made by the Hon.
GEORGE C. GoRHAM, a pronounced GRANT
man, when lie placed Mr.. CAMERON in
nomination, and they served The purpose of
inducing decisive majority of the COM
mittee to vote for him. In fact, and in
short, Mr.. CAMERoNs accession to the
chairmanship must be accredited TO an inn
pulsiye recognition Of the peoples move
ment in behalf of fair play for the distin-
guished soldier-tourist, whose name and
fame have been so constantly upon the lips
OF his countrymen since the erection of the
Solid South in our political autonomy as
to leave no doubt in the minds of reason.
able men that lie stands higher in public
esteem to-day than any other living Ameri-
can.
The selection of the Hon. THOMAS 3.
KEoGH, of North Carolina, to be Secretary ol
| the Committee vice MCCORMICK, resigned
was another recognition Of this same inn
pulse, for Mr.. KEoGH is avowedin in his SYM
pathy with the GRANT movement, and rep
resents the most respectable and consistent
| element of the Southern wing Of the party,
the overwhelming majority of whom find
in prospective Third Term n hope of es-
cape from the political bondage they are
now suffering.
In conclusion, the party is to be congrat'
ulated that the executive authority of the
Committee has been vested in such capable
hands With CAMERON and KEoGH at the
helm there will be no deviations from the
Straightforward course indicated by the mos
Stalwart compass, and the stauch old Re
publican craft will make the voyage o
1880 in smooth waters and under the disci'
plined orders of experienced aud skillfu
commanders.

The First virginia District.

To NE Editor OF The National Republican:
SIR: / saw recently an article IN THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN in which II alleged that the First
Congressional district of Virginia can be carried by
the Republicans in the next election, and that It
was not too soon to prepare for the contest.
There is but one Republican ia the district that
carry 1t, aud that is Judge w. G.. Riley, now in
Washington. Judge Riey's relatives and connec-
tons are very influential and wealthy, and, in q
contest where he was a candidate, would either
support him or would take no part In the election.
would overcome Major Douglass in the county,
which was ,272 in 1876 The same influence would
operate in the county OF Northampton, when In
1859 1t gave Wells a majority over Walker OF b32,
and the same in 1872 for Grant Greeley. Judge
Riley Is a most effective speaker and, combined
with his boldness and political consistency makes
him most formidable candidate aud would Sc.

THE chairman of the Republican National
Committee is naturally and necessarily a
man of great influence in the party ooun-
cils but he does not WELD the absolute
power in the control Of the National con-
vention of the party that some people seem
to imagine is vested in him. In fact, his
duty at the organization of that body is
simply to call il to order and name for its
temporary president the person who may
have previously been selected for that posi-
tion by the National Committee. He has
nothing whatever to do in a direct or OFF,
eial way with the selection Of members OF
the committees Of the convention, includ-
ing those on credentials and resolutions,
for they are selected by their respective
State delegations and their names sent to the

GoRDoN's Golden Silence is the new
name bestowed upon the cowardly do-noth-

Bourbon majority in Congress. This is the
very ecstasy of political euphemy. A
better and more apt characterization of this
cringing reimbursement and selfdistrust OF
so-called statesmen would be to charge
them with wearing muzzles like ours in
dog days for fear the rabies may break
ont among them at any moment to their
own destruction as well as that of their
betters.

SENAToR-ELEcr MALONE, Of Virginia, is
in danger of being torn in twain, rs it were.
The Democrats claim him as their own,
while the Republicans are pulling him
into their camp by the logic of his pledges
TO them pending his election. Meanwhile
oil the straight-out Bourbon journals in
that State denOunce him as Il traitor and Il
deserter, and a dcsecrotor Of the altars and
firesdes of the Old Dominion, and all that
sort of thing. If he can forgive these fran
tic sham Conservatives for the insults and
ISLANDERS they have heaped upon him, per-
haps he may wander back into their ranks.
Bnt it strikes US it will not be to their in
terest to permit him to do so, He has too
many grudges to pay off among them, and
his presence in their counsels would enable
him to settle those accounts more effect
lively than he could if he were to be kept
under the ban Of their atTrighted dis
pleasure.

SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND people paid
dignifed and proper homage to General
GRANT who appeared before them in Phila-
delphia on Tuesday last as the most Illus
trious citizen of America. The demonstra-
ton was gigantic and unparalleled in the
history of this country. The Democratic
version Of it, however, seems to be deliber-
ately intended TO insult every man. woman
and child who participated in it, by charg-
ing them with having been guilty of debas-
ing adulation. Partisan prejudice aud Bour-

Republicans and the South.
From the st. Louis Republican
The New York Times saws:


There lie no room for doubt that the
Republicans who left the party because
they believed that il was not doing its duty
toward the Southern whites have return
ed or are returning, because of the gross
offences against liberty and justice that
to give the government again to the Re
publicans is the only way of rebuking
warning and checking the wilful and wick
ed despotism to which the South is given
over"
How many Republicans left the party
because they believe that it was not doing
its duty toward the Southern whites,
may be inferred from the simple aud sufi
Gent fact that the moment Mr.. Hayes un-
dertook to treat the southern whites de.
Gently, the party was practically unit
against him. No time was allowed TO test
the new policy. 1t was denounced in ad
vance, as another covenant with death
and agreement with hell" and Republican
president found himself absolutely desti
tute of Republican support 10 or out Of
congress, and his administration was only
saved from total COLLAPSE by Democratic
aid.
AS for "the gross offences against liter
ty and Justice that the Southern whites
have committed" and the wicked and
wilful despotism to which the South is
given over." they exist mainly. if not
wholly, in that fruitful Republican imaein
alton which never hesitates to invent any
thing to serve electioneering purposes.

aud prolific fancy has been allowed to re-
main dormant, but as the presidential con-
test draws near 1t is sgain at work, hoping
