THE OLD FLAG AT THE SOUTH.

The TELLER Committee, recently engaged
in investigating the late election frauds and
outrages in South Carolina, has brought to
light some matters that are entitled to seri-
GUS consideration throughout the country.
One is that the American fag-that emblem
of our independence and power, and which
is respected by all the civilized nations of
the earth-is unpopular in South Carolina,
and incites hostility and trouble. This
shows, what we have contended for during
the past year, that the South in heart and
spirit is as much in rebellion now against
| the Union, the Constitution, aud the old
llag as it was when the war of rebellion was
raging. The only form in which the old
flag can be tolerated in the South now is
when it is attended by an appropriation.
| Under all other circumstances it is regarded
there as "an emblem of oppression This
is Southern loyalty and devotion to the
Government and the emblem Of its power
We have received the following sketch
of the testimony Of CHARLES NOISE ad-
iutant of Sumter County--a prominent
Democratic lawyer, and brother Of the Ad-
iutant General of the State of South Caro-.
lina-as taken by the TELLER Committee
recently. Read it. II is rich with the evil
dence of latent and irrepressible hatred
on the part of the late Coniederates toward
the Government under which they profess
to live In loyalty. We have been kindly
furnished with an advance copy of the tes
timony alluded TO, as follows:
BY Mr.. KIRKwooD-Q Now, you say oil
the 18th of October everything was quiet NJ
to the time the Republicans passed along with

Q. Did you SEQ them when they came alonl

Some Tafry for weichmaun.

TO he Editor Of the National Republican:
sIR. While sympathizing with the general
tenor of your article on "The Hanging Of Mrs.
Surratt," | wish to take exception to the man
ner in which you speak of one of the Govern
ment's principal witnesses in the trial of the
conspirator- r-assassins male and female, who
plotted and carried into execution the mur.
der most foul" of President Lincoln You
speak of him rs "a poor, Insignificant person
named Weichmann."
All who know Mr.. Louis j. Weichmann will
feel somewhat surprised at this disparaging 6
and uncomplimentary notice of gentleman
of large intelligence, culture, and refinement
and a brave and true-hearted, though modest
man, who had in the dark days Of our coun-
try's peril-peril and danger from unseen foes
tho courage to step forward and utter his
testimony at the imminent risk of his life,
that the conspirators might be brought to pun
ishment. You probably have not intended to
do him injustice. Though poor man, he is
not insignificant" and this adoption of the
the terms of obloquy, invented by sympathiz-
ers with assassination, is calculated to give
currency to tho lies which 1t was the purpose
of your article to condemn.
Let us have done with all compromises with
those who are doing all they can to bring back
the, dark and bloody times" upon our coun-
try, and be careful how we admit in any de-
gree their unpatriotic fallacies. The execution
of all of those assassins was a necessity and an
act of deserved justice and richly merited pun
| ishment. Yours, truly, y.

THE HON. zAOHARIAu CHANDLER.

The probability, if not certainty, of eX-
Senator CHANDLER's return to the Senate
recalls the departure four years ago in Mich.
igan of the Republican party from the con-
sistent methods of good discipline by which
he was defeated for q reelection to that
body in which he had rendered manlul SER
vice for many years. That defeat was re-
corded by the Opposition as the overthrow
of st the machine in the West and rs an in
dication of q certainty that Utopian Reform
had dawned upon our political existence.
But subsequent history shows that neces-
sity for the services of such persistent con-
servators of stalwart principles as Mr.
CHANDLER has always proved to be, was in
stantly asserted, and led to his appointment
to be Secretary the Interior and to his selec-
ton to be the managing spirit of the cam
paign of 1876. And now that he is about
to be returned to the scenes of his former
achievements the almost unanimous ac-
claim of the people, regardless OF party, is
that he deserves the vindication, if such il
may be called, that will soon be vouchsafed
to him.
As Senator his record was exceptionally
good, and as partisan it has always been
exceptionally brilliant But as Secretary
of the Interior his unilinching courage,
great executive ability, aud purity of pur-
pose combined TO elevate him in public es-
timation and win for him the confidence
and respect of the nation at large He
1; a. L. a
practical reformer in the true sense of the
term and when he left the Department his
commanding administrative success ex-
torted from all parties the highest need OF
praise.
But his most illustrious victory was ia
the successful endeayor, made under his
direct management, to overthrow the DEM
ocratic conspiracy by which it was at
tempted to fraudulently install TILDEN
into the Office to which President HAYES
had been legally elected. In this manage
ment he made his impress upon the ma
tion's history in such iorcble way that
his name will stand for generations to come
as a synonym for all that is patriotic and
devoted in the integrity Of that support
which every good citizen yields tt
his earnest political convictions II
was ZACH CHANDLER, in shert, more
than any other single individual in
the country, who rescued the government
from the hands of body Of infamous con
sprators who would long before this hav,
transferred it, bound hand and foot, to th,
Bourbon Democracy of the South, Wher
the telegram was made public

Lincoln Hall-The Swedish Lady Singers and
Ereygang, the Harpist.

An entertainment replete with novelty and
melody was given last evening at Lincoln Hall by
the Swedish Lady Vocal Quartette and Alexander
Freygang the eminent Russian hGrplst The ladies of
the quarette possess voices of great excellence and
their several selections may well be characterized
as the perfection of quarlette singing They al
forded our first experience in hearing four.part
songs rendered by female singers whose gifts OF
nature enabled them to present harmony under
the striciest Interpretation of its laws.
In appearance they are ladyllke and refined, and
in features moro than usually handsome. Their
selections were most acceptable IN rendition and
excellent In style and taste. Mr.. Freygang Is an
artist IN the highest acCeptatlon Of the term. His
touch is firm but delicate, and his tecptqae gener-
ally Is wonderful. The instrument he used is of
surprising elegance and sweetness of tone. A
matinee viii begvcn this afternoon by this splendid
combination, and their engagement In Washington
will terminate with this evenings performance.
