National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-11-17

PANIC, deep-seated and well-founded,
blanches the otherwise Bourbon-hucd
cheeks of the Democracy as the time for
the reassembling Of Congress approaches.
Demoralized by their rout in the fall cleo
lions this year, repudiated by the people,
and staring the inevitable fate of certain
defeat next year squarely in the face, the
Southern Brigadiers and Northern Dough-
faces come together again trembling with
rage and disappointment over the past or
fear Of the future, They must repeal or
renew their attempts to do so, the National
election laws, and now, if eyer, deprive the
National Government Of all power to super
wise the election of its own officials. In the
late extra session they pledged themselves
irreyocably to this repeal policy, and con-
sequently will not dare to abandon it now,
especially in view of the fact that the laws
in question become particularly and eff
fectively operative Mt the election next
year. But they know and feel that every
stride they take in support of this policy is
q step downward in the well-beaten path
of the minority, where, by the grace OF
public patriotism and the numerical
changes to be effected by the next census
they will soon rest in permanent and well.
deserved obscurity.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle alludes to
the organization of the committee in this
city to make arrangements for the recep-
tion of General GRANT as follows:
They seem to have mixed up things very
badly in Washington. DON PIATr, the editor
Of the Capital, is one of the committee ap-
pointed by the city authorities to receive Gen.

THE Hon. JOHN ID. DEFREEs has been
overtaken and pumped out by an inter-
viewer of the New York Tribune. The prod
DEGREES is consistent with his political
position when he opposed General GRANT
in 1872. There is nothing like consistency
in politics. In referring to this interview
the New York Commercial says wickedly ii
is almost as good as a Democrat could say,
"but we don't believe Mr., DEFREEs would
"have ever suspected it if somebody else
had not been Public Printer under Gen
"eral GRANT.

THE busy season incident to the long ses-
sion of Congress is upon us. Washington
grows in favor as place of residence and
increases as the point of popular interest
with each recurring period of this season,
and the outlook now gives promise of great
activity in politics, society and business
affairs during the coming six or seven
months. The wary advertiser understands
all this, however, and begins TO boom his
goods without delay.

THE Sunday Gazette of this city is honest,
if indiscreet, enough TO admonish the
Southern Representatives to set a watch
"over their lips and keep the door of their
mouths locked" In due return for this
able advice, the Southern Representatives
will probably admonish the Sunday Gazette
that it has made an ass of itself in admit
ting the existence of necessity that they
should wear muzzles But the simple
minded Gazette is not to be blamed for re-
peating parrot-like what it hears on every
hand.

THE CONDITION OF IRELAxp.-lt
Is matter Of real grief 10 thousands Of
Of honest young Irish people who are
laboring diligently in the United States
for living, to be reminded that the hard
condition of friends at the old home
steads are made greatly worse by the
failure OF the crops. The hard demands
Of the land lords are added, sweeping
away almost the last bushel for rents
that are due, and there are no resources
upon which the young brother or sister,
or aged parent may depend. These rent
exactions have produced outbreaks that
threaten to involve the people in civil
war with the British government. Fam
inc is threatened in some sections, and
so great is the suffering, that the farmers
and other classes involved have pro
claimed their grievances in public meet
Jugs, demanding the remedies which
alone can prevent the suffering Of other
days and insure contentment in Ireland.
Unless something be speedily done the
people will be in danger Of actual starva-
tion. A report just made BY the Irish
local gov ernment board says:
There will not be half an average crop
Of potatoes, and these are Inferior In
quality and affected by blight. The sup
ply of turf, owing to the long continued
rains, will everywhere fall short. Much
was cut, but was rotted. In the western
and midland counties, where turf Is the
only fuel used, this loss falls heaviest
Added to these causes OF suffering 10 the
scarcity of emp oyment, owing TO the
unsettled relations Of landlord and ten
ant. In Ulster, Munster and LeinsteI
great destitution seems imminent. The
board have carefully examined the ie'
turns of the Poor-Law unions to discover
the actual present suffering, and fine
that in one union alone seven thousand
five hundred aud fifteen more persons
applied for relief in one week OF Octo
ber, 1879, than in the corresponding weel
Of last year. The Times still states tha
the pressure will not become really grave
until Christmas. Amer that 1t will b,
severe, unless outside relief Is given.
This is indeed gloomy picture. Th'
leading members Of the Catholic churcl
, have proposed several schemes. One
: that the British government reclaim tn
d waste lands in Ireland, thus giving EN-
} ployment to the idle poor and at th
I same time adding TO the health an
g wealth of the country. In the event {
4 famine the American people, as in fol
e mer days, will contribute their propol
! tionate share for the relief Of a peopl
r who have given so much toward buildin
up our population and the wealth Of tf
Union. During the Mexican war, viii
Ireland was visited by famine, 1t was al
propriately said that the American p.,
. pie presented the singular attitude
). conquering one nation while preventir
y another from starving. And it is graif
u ing now to witness the arrangements b
ing made in various cities to again e.
., tend sympathy and substantial aid
- suffering Ireland.

THE Ice PIER AT THE MOUTH OF
THE CHRIsTIANA.-Mr. McGlinchey is
working up his evidence by means of
surveys, soundings, maps, &c, to prove
the necessity for an ice pier and harbor
at or near the mouth of the Christiala.
1t 10 little remarkable that, although
there are three times as many vessels
run into the mouth of the Christiana at
the approach of storms as stop anywhere
else on the Delaware this side of Phila-
delphia, no improvement has ever been
made there TO shelter and protect such
as cannot get within the creek for want
of knowledge of the extent of the
fats that make out along the channel on
either side. We hope something will be
dore by Congress at this session toward
making a couple of ice piers at or near
this important light station.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE AND His |
SECRETARIEs.- Memphis appeal |
mentions the fact that last summer,
when Secretary Sherman and Secretary
Evarts were preaching the doctrine of
hate, and telling the country that the
people of the South were banded to-
gether by crime, the New York Times,
perhaps because the Tribune covered al
the extreme Radical ground there was,
manifested consers atism that encour-
aged the detection of the more sensible
Republicans. 1t has continued on that
line ever since, and has at last got to a
place wh+re it manifests an inclination
to tell the truth in regard TO the South.
Commenting on the Presidents S message,
the Times had the following among
other sensibly suggestive remarks:
GAS as least one member of the ad-
minstration labored zealOusly to incul-
cate this lesson, we must assume that
the President is not ignorant of the
facts on which it Is based. If there
really is danger of another sectional con-
fict, he may be supposed to be acquaint-
ed with ali Tue Indications OF danger to
which lis advisers have access Aud as

in vain. Either the great sectional con-
test is product of partisan Imagination
or by an incomprehensible accident tn,
President has overlooked it. The later
hypothesis is hardly probable. Mr
Hayes is not man likely to overlook
the cont ingency of impending civil war
1t would have been the uppermost thin.
in his thoughts. instead Of direfu
lamentations, he is cheerful, hopeful
and even grateful. How is the anomal,
to be explained? Can it be that th
sectional issue, having served purpos
In the late election, has been shelved ur
til next July? Or is it that the Presi
dent is impelled by sense of duty t
quietly extinguish the sectional fam,
and to set forth the only aspect OF tt
Southern question which properly con
Germs the country?"
The secret of Mr.. Hayes's at itut
toward the South, so far as his MESA.
indicates it, lies in the fact that he cou
not officially afford to become respons
BILE for the mere assertions of his Seer
taries. He knew there was and
no such thing as conspiracy at u
South to get possession of the goverl
ment, and that loyal and true to ther
selves the people Of this section mt

NEW YORK DECIpED.-The vote Of
New York was officially canvassed, yes
terday, and Hoskins, the Republican
candidate, declared elected Lieutenant
Governor by unanimous vote of the
Board of Canvassers. Horatio Seymour,
Jr., Democratic candidate for State En-
gineer and Surveyor, was declared elect
ed. The chairman OF the Democratic
State Committee was present, and stated
to the Board that he had received COM
mnnications frc m dfferen mt parts of the
State informing him that regularities
had occurred in the local canvassing Of
the votes and he desired to submit these
communications to the Board for con
sideration. 1t was decided by the Board
that it could not go behi nd the return
as they had been sent in. The under
standing was that the chairman's appear
ance was only form ality, in order t
give Mr. Potter chance to bring leps
proceedings if he sees fit; but Mr.. Potte
Is also said to believe that the canvas
sers had no right to go hack on tn
returns.

THE indications are that there will be
on or about the 1st of January a plethora
OF money at New York: There was in
the New York clearing house banks on
August l, SIT 300 900. Since that time
the imports of gold have reached $71,-
$40, 900, The United States Treasury has
paid out $1l 200 900 IN the purchase Of
six per cen 3, making total of $154 &c.

cumstauces, would be held in New York.

the other $S5, 1000? 1t has gone West
and South in response to the nee DIS Of
the immense harvasts of the current
year. The hog crop, the cotton crop and
the grain crops needed money to "movs''
them to the seaboard and New York was
called on for thus purpose. Experience
has shown that the money thus distri
buted through the West and South ac
compli hes its purpose and gets back tc
New York about January /, and wher
this takes place this year the plethor,
