Mr.. Bright from the beginning of the suits
to their ending. At the succeeding legis-
lature, it being Republican, the accounts of
Mr.. Bright as state printer were fully in5
vestigated, and he was exonerated and the
action of the jury and the State
official fully justified and approved.
Since that time no resident of
Indiana of any responsibility, 80 far as
I know, has ever attributed to him anything
wrong in connection with these matters.
Last year Mr.. Bright was a candidate for
sheriff of Marion county, the most desira-
BILE Office in the State, and although there
were several popular candidates for the
nomination, he was nominated almost by
acclamation. In the canvas an effort was
made to revive this same old slander, and,
notwithstanding he was opposed by one Of
the most popular men in the Republican
party, who was a candidate for re- election
and who had the aid, not only of his party
organization, but the power and influence of
the Office, Mr.. Bright ran about 700 votes
ahead of his party. In his late canvass for
the Office of sergeant-at-arms he had not
only the hearty support of my colleague and
myself, but of every Representative in Con-
gress from Indiana, both Republicans and
Democrats. Very truly,

The contest now in progress at Washing
ton shows the desperation of the Repubh-
cans at the loss of power, and their readiness
to shipwreck the government rather than
surrender their hold upon the treasury.
When Tilden was elected the Republicans
deliberately determined upon revolution
rather than surrender, and but for the
patriotism of the Democracy, conflict
would have ensued. There are, however,
limits to forbearance, and when the Presi-
dent threatens the representatives of the
people with veto unless they consent to
throttle the ballot box, it is time to call a
halt. The Democrats should never surren-
der the principles of free government, fol
which they are now contending. If Mr.
Hayes desires to inaugurate revolution and
rebellion let him take the responsibility.

of negroes who are the peers of Washburn
both as to ability and honesty. If the Re-
publicans were anxious to honor the colored
race why did they not elect some of the very
able representatives of that race instead of
chronic of6ce-seekers and political charla-
tans?
1t comes with a bad grace from the Re-
publicans of the North, who have never yet
given place to colored men, to accuse the
Democrats of driving them out of Congress-
The negroes Of the North are far more in
telligent as class than those of the South,
and are therefore better qualified to hold Of
fee. Though they have in the main ad-
hered strictly to the Republican party, they
have received no favors from it. The Irish
have been given Office; SO have the Ger
mans and Scandinavians, but the negroes
have not received the slightest attention. To
charge the Democrats with ignoring their
claims is the rankest folly, for the Demo-
Gratis owe the negroes nothing for political
support. Let the Republicans set the ex-
ample here in the North of electing colored
men to Office, and then, if the Democrats ig-
more them it will be time to complain. The
Republicans owe much to the negroes of the
country. They have furnished the party
with all the political capital it has ever pos
sessed they have clung to its fortunes with
rare fidelity they are even now its obedien1
slaves, except in few localities where the
hollowness of the pretenses of the party ha.
been specially prominent. If the party con
tinues to ignore their claims it need not long
expect to retain their allegiance. For Re
publicans to ask the Democrats to elect mel
to Office who are politically opposed to then
is the height of folly. It would be as rea
sonable to ask them to commit hari-kari.

Meeting of Citizens In the Interest of the

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April AT represents
tive meeting Of citizens from all parts of the
State of both political parties, held here to-
day, the following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The legislature of Tennessee, at
it's recent session, passed an act, proposing to
the bondholders of the State settlement of
liabilities of the State of Tennessee at the rate
of SO cents on the dollar, with 4 per cent. in
terest.
WHEREAS, Without discussing whether this
rate of settlement meets our views not,
whether we. as citizens and taxpayers, would
have been in favor of favoring more, or would
have preferred less, we recognize the action Of
the legislature entitled to our respectful con-
sideration. This result was reached after
long and laborious effort by compromise in
which every view of the situation was elaborated
with signal ability and research; and
WHEREAS, There must be an end of all strife,
whether between counter views of policy or
op ,,osing physical forces and we are desirous
of peace and repose, we, citizens of Ten
nessee, representing all shades of partisan
political opinion,

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago Tribune
processes great indignation that O'Meagher
Condor, the released Fenian, has been given
an Office in the treasury department., and
asks if it is lawful to give a government
Office to an alien. We would answer that
there is no law to prevent any competent
man from filling clerkship, whether he be
alien or to the manner born. If aliens had
been forever excluded from Office, we fear
that the public service would have been but
inperfectly discharged.

A SPRINGFIELD correspondent of a Chicago
paper alleges, on the authority of statistics,
that the railroads in that State average a
profit of forty per cent. on their cost. The
figures are probably none too high, for it is
notorious that the profits of these corpora
tions are much in excess of the dividends
they declare. The figures may be useful,
however, in determining the rate of taxation
that ought to be imposed upon them.

In no way could the President show his
perfect disapproval of Mormon institutions
and his intent to make life burden to
polygamists better than by his appointment
of D. T. Corbin as chief justice of Utah ter
ritory. The very name of Corbin is a
travesty upon the idea of justice. No car
pet dagger of the South has worse record.
Honest John Patterson is an angel of light
and saint by the side of him. Ignoble, de-
generate and despised, he has hung about
Washington, associating only with the few
senators who thought that there was some
political capital to be made by advocating
his claim to seat in the senate. With his
record one thing is reasonably certain, that
the Democratic senate will not confirm his
appointment.

REvo1UrIoNARY REPUB11cANs.

REVOLUTlONARY REPUBLACANS.
The speech of Mr.. Proctor Knott in the
House Oh Thursday was very clear expo
sition of the Democratic doctrine. He de-
clared that the Democratic party simply in
tended when it captured the capitol to
throw off the chains that had been thrown
around the people, and to plant it's banner
on the dome of the capitol emblazoned with
the legend "equal and exact justice to all
men, exclusive privileges to none.'' 1t in
tended to protect the purity of the ballot
box, which was the corner stone OF personal
liberty and of free government, and to see
to it that the military shall at all times and
under all circumstances be subordinate to
the civil authority. This is the fundamental
principle involved in the pending discussion
the supremacy of the civil over the mill
tary power, and any attempt to obscure it
or to lose sight of it should be frowned
upon by every citizen.
For nearly twenty years the Republican
party has sought to establish military oil
garchy here. Every effort has been made to
destroy the civil authority and to substitute
for it central military power-to take from
the States the right to control the elections
and give that right to the federal government.
This purpose has been repeatedly avowed,
and was reiterated on the floor of the House
on Thursday by Mr.. Hawk, who pounced
down upon the innocent with the declaration
| that he expected to vote for law next year
which should place the control of all national
elections in the hands of the United States
government. Which party, therefore, in the
light of these expressions, is revolutionary
Certainly the Democratic party is not revo-
lutionary unless it be revolutionary to undo
the harm that has been previously done, and
place the government once more upon the
basis of justice and equality. To reserve t.
the people the right to choose their owl
officers, uninauenced by the central power a
Washington, unawed by a display of bayonets
at the polls, is certainly commendabl,
purpose. Such cannot be claimed fo
a policy that contemplates the super
vision of elections by power tina
is not in sympathy with the people, ant
can only have the purpose of provoking o
influencing the wishes of the people. The
tendency Of the government has not been
toward the protection of the people in thei
rights, but rather toward the destruction of
those rights, and it is high time that hal
was called. When we come to chose Pres
ident next year, we must be left untram

The afternoon. Then about sunset one ad-
litional division on each side was engaged |
near Groveton. The musketry of that last
contest and the yells of the confederate
troops about dark were distinctly heard by
the officers of Porter's corps, but at no other
time during all that, afternoon was the
volume of musketry such that it could be
heard at tile position of Porter's troops. No
sound but that of artillery was heard by
them during all those hours when Porter
was understood by the court-martial to have
been listening to the sounds of a furious
battle raging Immediately to his right, and
those sounds of artillery were by no means
such as to indicate general battle.
SINGULAR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The reports of the 29th and those of the
30th of August have somehow been strange
ly confounded with each other. Even the
confederate reports have, since the termina-
ton of the war, been similarly misconstrued.
Those of the 30th have been misquoted as
referring to the 29th, thus to prove that e
furious battle was going on, while Porter
was comparatively inactive on the 29th. The
fierce and gallant struggle of his own troops
on the. Both has thus been used to sustain
the original error under which he was con-
demned. Gen. Porter was, in effect, con-
demned for not having taken any part in his
own battle. Such was the error upon which
Gen. Porter was pronounced guilty of the
most shameful crime known among soldiers.
We believe not one among all the gallant
soldiers on that bloody field was less deserv-
ing of such condemnation than he.
MD1soREEr LANGUAGE.
~e Iol rSo
case ceases to be material in view of the evil
dence of his soldierly and faithful conduct
But it is our duty to say that the indiscreet
AMI unkind terms in which Gen. Porter ex-
pressed his distrust of the capacity of his
superior commander cannot bs defended
and to that indiscretion was due in very
great measure the misinterpretation of both
his motives and his conduct, and his conse-
quent condemnation.
THE RECOMMENDATION.
Having thus given the reasons for oul
conclusions, we have the honor to report, Il
accordance with the Presidents order, that
in our opinion, justice requires at his hands
| such action as may be necessary to annu
and set aside the findings and sentence O
| the court-martial in the case of Maj. Gen
Fitz John Porter, and to restore him to tn
positions of which that sentence deprived
him, such restoration to take effect from tn
date of his dismissal from the service.
