Mr. Nasby Visits Washington.

It's long time sence trod the streets NV
the Fedral City. Eff remember arite hewitt
ben here sence the sainted Johnsons time,
wen 1 received from the handsuv thet gileless
patriot my commsshun ez postmaster at the
Cross Roads, wich wuz ruthlessly torn from
me by thet military tirent, Grant. 1t hes
changed much, and thank hevin, for the
better.
Washington hez ben attacked by the Confed-
rits at two different periods. From 1861 TO
1865 they failed to possess it, but ther sekond
invashun wuz more successful. They hev it
now. In the capitol, which is the nashun's
pride, see ez many military men in power ez
ever, but thank the Lord they amt the same
kind. The 'gol-darn" NV the Northern man
is heerd no more, and in its place my ears is
delited with the more familiar "dog-gone" NV
the Sunny South. No more is my feelins ag-
gravatid by seein the tall man from Maine, the
hatchet-faced Rhode Islander OF the stout
Pennsylvania in the capital holding offs.
They are gone and the swarthy Southerner
fills their places and draws their salaries
There are one-armed and one-leggid North
ern soldiers enuff here, but they are walkin
The streets They amt in place no more 'cept-
in those wich is in the departments controlled
by the minyuns NV Hayes, and thank hevin,
when we elect Dimocratic President in 1880
wen clean EN- out. Eff the Confedraey can't
control by the bullet it will by the ballot.
l wuz never more encuridged in my life.
The bar room is crowded with Suthern patri-
OTIS, and they are now in favor. 1t filled my
eyes with teers to reed a petition for the ap-
pointment NV Georgia man to position un-
der the clerk Nv the SENT. I've seen them pc
titions afore They used to reed thet the party
named he'd lost leg at Gettysburg and an eve
at Fair Oaks vile calamity carrying the stars
and stripes in defense NV the Fedral COVER
ment They reed quite differently now. They
all set forth thet the petitioner lost his legs OF
arms or eyes, ez the case may be, in carryiIfthe
stars and bars in defense Nv the Confederacy,
and thet his sacrifices for the South entitle him
to recognition.
/ wuZ amooZed at one Dimekrat from th.
interior of Injeany Nvioh hodn't heerd Nv the
change He in moment Nv insanity forgut
his party obligations and volunteered in the
Fedral army. He come on here with his one
leg and his honorable discharge from the servis
to git place.
lie wuz sternly rebukt and very quickly
made to know thet he pinted his rifle the wrong
way to hope for place in Washington. The
posishun he wuz after wuz given to one NV the
heroic men who fought at Fort Pillow. He
may git place after suffishent repentance, but
1 doubt it.
1 am wunst more happy. The Confederaey
is a success, after all. We shell carry Ohio this
Fall, and thet makes q Dimokrat President in
1880. Then-but the prospeck is too gorius to
think about. o, how i long for the day to
come!

ernor, and for transacting whatever business may
properly come before it.
The basis of representation will be one delegate

vention, to receive the credentials of delegates
In selecting the Delegates the Republicans are
urged to assemble in full numbers and to invoke the
aid and cooperation of all voters who willing to
unite with them to the following ends
l. To maintain the power and prestige of the
Union against all attempts to subvert oppose its
just authority and to insist that the Government of
the United States shall be controlled by loyal men,
2. To discountenance and reprobate the treason
able and revolutionary course of the Democrats in
Congress. who threaten to cripple and destroy the
functions of the Government if eonstitutionaly pre-
vented from enacting their partisan measures into
law.
3. To uphold the right of the United States to
enforce its own laws wherever they to operate,
and to frown down and put down the dangerous
heresy of the States Right secessionists who have
already plunged the country into one bloody war
and who attempting to control the Govern
ment of the Union with the measures that
preceded the rebellion of 1861.
L. To insist upon free electons-not only free
from National military inference which no one de-
sires but also free from the interference and vo-
lence of socaed State militia and the assasins who
with deadly weapons have seized the polls in many
of the Southern States, driving innocent and de-
fenceless voters from the ballot-box and making a
mockery of elections, which upon free suffrage
has been made distinct political issue by every
Democrat in the Senate and House voting against a
measure designed to prevent and suppress it.
5. To uphold the financial credit of the Govern
sound currency, equivalent to coin at all times and
in all places, and redeemable in COIN And to this
end to oppose all dstractng, repudiating aud mis-
chievous efforts against the peace welfare and in
dustrial prosperity of the People.
6. In these aims and purposes all citizens of
Maine are invited to unite, that the hands of the
President and of the Republican minority in both
branches of Congress may be strengthened in their
efforts to uphold the honor of the Government and
the just authority of National Law.

Great Hamlin and Blaine,
Tune up your tocsins and put things in order;
For lawyer Cove Hall
Win open the ball.
As soon as he's ready to bray oer the border.
Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Reed,
1t is courage you need
For 'galnst his rag baby you've wickedly sinned.
And woe will befall
If you encounter Cove Hail.
And broken reed fall at a blast OF his wind.
Billy Frye, Billy Frye,
Fore his whitening eye
You'll cover like Cossack at sight of the Czar;
You may sneer, you may laugh
And call Cove a calf
But you'll be small fry for this whale of the bar.
Mr.. Hale, Mr.. Hale,
Your speeches will fail,
To confuse his calm mind, or ruffie his pate;
For your logic, trow,
On the eloquent Cove,
VIII fall like all hail on imperviols slate.
Maine men remember
That day of September
How the last the check to your prosperous
years;
What caused you to stagger,
But clap trap and swagger,
Like the kick of Cowe's hoof or a flop of his ears?
With many quotations
He writes his oratons
And oils all his joints with the lard of a skunk
He'll soon wag his jaw
To the men of Bangor,
And howl at the voters who dwell in squeedunk.
He'll rattle his elapper
At old Saeearappa,
And belch to the logger at head of the moose;
To cottage and palace
From Kittery to Calais,
He'll blaze till he cooks the Republican goose.

The reasoning of the report of the majority
eliminates at last in ar unconditional avowal
that no law of Congress can control or inter-
fere with the officers of a State at any election
unless the state authorities invoke the aid of
the general government, as provided in the
Constitution. This is asserting the pernciouS
dogma of state supremacy in its most obnox-
ious form. The provision OF the Constitution
of the United States that it land the laws
which shall be made in pursuance thereof shall
be the supreme law of the land, anything in
the Constitution or laws of any State to the
contrary Notwithstanding, is rudey thrust
aside and ignored and the exploded theory of
paramount state sovereignty is substituted in
its stead. That portion of the veto message on
this point is quoted and commended. Under
the Constitution it is the duty of the EXecu-
tive to apply the test of his own Judgment
to every measure submitted to him by
Congress- that duty he cannot neglect with
out the violation of his official oath. The
right to exercise his judgment unrestrained by
the prevailing opinion in either branch of the
legislative department needs no vindication in
behalf of the President Deeming the sugges-
tions contained as we'll III the message referred
to the committee as in the early one COM
mented upon by the majority upon the main
features at issue, and touching the impropriety
of Incorporating general legislation into appro-
priation bills as eminently wise and in harmony
with the course OF legislation and better prac-
tice of many of the States, the minority cannoi
conclude their views without placing on record
an emphatic and unqualified protest against
the undigniiied and disrepectful tone prevailing
in the majority report toward the official com
munications from the Chief Magistrate of the
nation. Concurring as we do with the views SO
well expressed and so strongly enforced III the
message under consideration, we do not deem
ii advisable nor necessary to dwell at greater
length on the subject. We concur in the con-
clusion Of the report of the majority that the
committee be discharged from its further con-
sideraton. A. G.. LAPHAM,
