tive qnarter hours. She walked in her

their hands clean of all such alliances and
consequences by taking bold ground against
both repudiation and adjustment. Hon
esty is the best policy in private or
public dealings, and every Republican
should insist that the full debt
of Tennessee, principal and interest, should
be bonded at such time and at such rate
of interest rs her resources will warrant.
That every State in the Union should pay
its honest debts is simply principle of
right, which cannot he departed from with
out bringing discredit upon the American
people A great and growing State like
Tennessee, which is full of undeveloped re-
sources and has future greatness before it,
cannot afford to write itself down q Repudi-
ator or an Adjuster. 1t is prospectiyely
able, and should bond every dollar of its
debt under the plighted faith of the State,
and then future generations of its people
will not be called upon to blush when it is
charged with reputation in whole or in
part. Every Republican should vote sternly
against reputation in every shape, and
then, if they are outvotcd, the odium OF
the result will rest where ii belongs-with
the Democratic party.

SOLDIERS TO THE FRONT.

big sensation in limited political circles is
the rumor OF a new oath-bound political organ
ization of ex- Union soldiers of the late war. 1t
is said to have originated in this city and al
ready spread into larger cities all over the
country. 1t is composed of ex-Union soldiers
of all parties who are dissatisfied with their
treatment by both political parties, and insist
OH a more liberal recognition of their rights.
They propose to do this by selling their votes
en- nasSe to the party that will bid highest.
The above Washington dispatch to Bal
timore evening paper may be, and we be-
leve is in part true. We are told that
new organization of soldiers is being formed,
but it is not intended to sell it out to any
political party. There is serious dissatisiac-
tion among the soldiers of the Union army
and u feeling Of fear that rebels guns never
gave them is abroad. The more thoughtful of
them see danger ahead. They offered their
lives to preserve their country and saw
thousands of their comrades fall in the
effort. They succeeded but danger, dam
ger even greater than the one which they
confronted in battle array, now threatens it.
The soldiers see it. They want no more
wars; no more bloodshed, and they are
combining to preyentit.
During and since the war the soldiers
have known that the Democratic party was
opposed TO them and TO what they did This
has been so well understood that but few of
the soldiers Of the war can be found acting
with that party, aud these few are becom-
| ing fewer since the Confederate Brigadiers
took command 1t. 1t is true that I'm oc-
| uin al al ho in 1yg
of the Democracy, but in almost every in
stance he will be found to be one who was
not valued rs highly by the Republican
party-the party of the soldiers-as he val
ued himself General EWING is one of this
class.
While the war was in progress the Re-
publican party upheld the hands of the
soldier in his efforts to preserve the Union,
as AARON and HUR upheld the hands of
MOSES when he prayed for the children of
ISRAEL. ince the war that party has done
all that II grateful country could or should
do for its brave defenders. They have been
given all that they asked in the past. Times
have changed. The soldiers have seen both
branches of Congress pass into the power of
the rebels whom they conquered. This
created alarm, as it should have done. But
they now see something that alarms them
still more, The Executive Department Of
the Government is in the hands Of Republi-
cans, and the soldiers see these Departments
crowded with rebel soldiers who are in po'
litical afllliation with the Democrats of the
North, the men who during the war, KEEP

A Confederate soldier Heard from.

To The Editor of The National Republican:
SIR We notice with interest and pleasure
the various communications from United States
soldiers which you havo published from time
TO time, and we do not hesitate to add that the
position they assume is founded in reason and
good sense. To them, moro than to any other
earthly agency, is due the credit of preserving
the autonomy of this Republic, and 1t seems
that justice and gratitude alike would dictate
that these men should be especially cared for
by the Government. Neither can it be doubted
that the Republican party is immeasurably i'm
debted to them for the grand triumphs 1t has
won, both in the council chamber and in the
field. Therefore itwould seem to an unpreju-
diced observer that the United States aud the
Republican party should take care that these
men,who have given tho best years of their lives
to the service Of their country. should DO pre-
ferred aboveall Others honesty and ability being
equal, whenever au office of honor, trust or
profit Is TO be filed by an American citizen.
| Especially should the disabled soldier receive
the amplost measure of their protecting care
| Now Mr.. Editor, we fought with General
Lee, on the other side and had the great CON
test resulted differently we would have con-
sidered 1t strangely unnatural and moanly un-
| grateful II, in nominations for Office, the Con-
| iederate Cabinet had preferred u stay-at-hOmo
| Union man or an Ohio Copperhead to n Con-
federatc soldier. Yet the cases are precisely
analogous The Democratic party aud the
| Union soldier have but few, If any, real ties
of sympathy, and it is natural that the Demo-
Gratis should bounce Yankee soldier on the
| sly whenever opportunity offers; but that the
Republicans should turn the cold shoulder to
| their natural allies, is u monstrous species of
conciliatory officiating in the last degree re-
| pulsivc to all generous minds.

OUR RIVER FRONT.

The Sunday Gazette is little too indiffer-
ent to the facts when it assumes the pater-
nifty for itself or its friends of the plan pro-
posed by Mr. c. b. CHURCH for the improve
ment of the harbor of Washington, which
was set forth in THE NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN of last Friday. Its claim is set up in
this wise:
By reference to the files of the Gazette Of
November 81 aud 10th, 1873, the letters
written by Colonel BEVERLY KENNoN on
"Our River Fronts " make identically the pro-
posed improvements as illustrated by the
drawing referred to, and We think hc should
receive the credit due him for the same.
We have no intention of plucking single
feather from the nodding plume of the
Gazette, or its friend, which belong there
neither is it just to Others that it should
attempt to deck itself or its friend with bor-
rowed plumage, which, in the light of his
tory, belongs to Others. Mr.. CHURCH is en-
gagged now, and has been since the fall of
1871 us n member and chairman of the sub
committee of one hundred of the Taxpayers
of the District of Columbia, on the harbor
improvement. This subcommittee made
report to the committee of one hundred
November 13, 1877, which was accom-
panied by diagram covering the
plan recently reproduced in these
columns. This plan has met with so
much favor with Congress that two appro-
priations have already been made to de-
velop and perfect and the subcommittee,
which works ardently and faithfully in
q, ;,, Il
in good faith and in the full hope of sccur-
ing to the river front the full benefit of
decided improvementat no very remote day.
This committee, we feel assured, have no
ulterior purposes. Its labor is that of love
for the welfare of the city, and it seeks no
advantage which is not to be utilized purely
in that direction. One thing, however, is
very evident Our Sunday cotemporary
must revise its dates before it can hope to
transfer to the shoulders of itself or its
friend, the honor that attaches to plan for
our river front, which had been published
in pamphlet form year previous to the
time it dates its title deed or letters patent.
In the light of recorded history the Gazette
will make but poor headway in its attempt
to pluck the laurels that belong to the
subcommittee" and transfer them to others,
who seem to have awakened to the subject q
year after areport had been made on the sub
ject, and had passed into print. " Honor
to whom honor is due" and this subcom-
mittee have been too faithful and Jealous
in behalf of the improvement of our river
front to be subjected to any petty piliering
of their well-earned laurels on this question.

TENNESSEE REPUDIATIoN.

The most interesting subject for consid-
Grafton and discussion just now in Tennes-
see is that ofadiusting, repudiating, or pay
ing the State debt, liquidation is the Dem
ocratic process for discharging obligations,
as that makes short work of the matter,
and cuts off all cause for discussion and diff
ferences between debtor and creditor sub
sequently. 1t is an easy and summary way
of disposng of vexed financial question,
and is purely Democratic in principle and
interest. There are some Democrats, and
perhaps few Republicans, who favor an
adjustment or compromise of the State in
debtedness for two reasons-in the first
place they are not so hardened in crime as
the Repudiators and, secondly, they think
it hard for the people to shoulder the entire
debt. They have not the conscience to re-
pudiate outright, nor the honesty TO make
full payment but compound their opinion
on the English beer principle of half-and-
half
We learn from East Tennessee that q
large majority of the Republicans in that
section of the State are in favor of an hon
est settlement of the whole debt. This is
honest and just, and we hope that position
will he firmly and determinedly adhered to
by every Republican in the State, If Re-
pudiation is to come the Republicans can
not afford TO share the odium of it, and
hence should make an unmistakable re-
cord of hostility toit, Adjustment is but tri-
de better-indeed it is not relieved OF the
odlum of repudiation, for it repudiates hali
the debt. This is not honest or just, and the
Republican party of Tennessee should keep

THE ex-Union soldiers are taking more
than usual interest in the matter of ap-
pontments by the Administration, both
present and prospective. They are reluct-
ant to believe that Republican Admins
tration, elected in part by their votes, and
which would have been defeated without
them, in u country saved in part by their val
or, and which but for their valor would have
been lost in revolution, will entirely over
look the class to which they belong, or con-
fer appointments upon Democrats and ex-
rebels. However, we are assured that they
propose to watch the appointments for the
next few weeks and see. If the Admins
tration concludes that the soldiers votes are
not wanted, they have only to let it be
known by appointing u few more ex-rebel
Democrats. This suggestion has been made
to us by n genuine Union soldier, who
thinks that the Union was not saved for the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of ex-rebels but for those
who had patriotism enough to risk theil
lives and received wounds in its defense
and we give utterance to these views, which
are so strictly in accord with our own.

IT is well known fact that the amount
of money subscribed for the relief of the
yellow fever sufferers of last year, was out
of all proportion to the amount accounted
for, or distributed among the needy. Thou
sands upon thousands of dollars were made
up by subscriptions of greater or less sums
in every city, town and hamlet in the North,
and these contributions were sent down TO
the plague-strckcn regions in n helter-skel-
ter STYLE obedient TO the impulse of the
givers. There were no checks upon fraud
or peculation, and no system i'll the distri-
button of these colossal charities, which
were mainly comprised of cash money. A
better way, if the same demands are to be
made this year upon the North, is to send
down food, clothing, and medicines. The

pended under u systematic supervision by
