Negotiating for a sinsie-sculi Race.

Several members of tho Elizabeth Boat Club,
of Norfolk, Va, arc in tho city and have quar-.
tiers at the st. James Hotel. Besides being on
an inspecting tour they arc DESTROYS of ar
ranging for siugle-scull race between Will
lam Murray, of their club, and w. b. f. Rob
erts, of the Potomac of Georgetown. Murray,
who won the junior singles at Saratoga last
month, disputes Roberts claim to tho cham
pionship OF Virginia, which the latter acquired
by beating Hardy at Fredericksburg, Va, the
18th ultimo. A match between these two
oarsmen would give the sport squirt in this
vicinity, aud would undoubtedly be an inter.
esting event. The distance TO be pulled will
be one, two or three miles, at the option of the
challenged party, who will also be allowed 10
name his time and place for the race. In
view of the fact that the Analostan and Poto'
mac have promised to meet each other in order
to settle the question of supremacy, this
match could be made one of the attractions oil

What Mr.. Hudson Had TO do with 1t.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., August Ia, 1873.
To The Editor Of The National Republican,:
SIR: An article appearing in your paper OF
this date does me an injustice In the statement
of Captain Kenible, that 1, as agent for the
charter parties, purchased certain supplies.
What did was as agent for Mr.. Collier and
Mr.. Savage, the charterers of the Frances |
was requested to show Mr.. Rodell the steward
whore to purchase the supplies, he being an
entire stranger in the city, aud l did so. No
responsibility attaches to me for any of the
purchases on which these or other bills are
based. Mr.. Collier distinctly stated to me that
all the bills would be paid before the boat left
the wharf. Very respectfully,
JAMES HUDSON.

aud that the pistols were charged with moth

not ample proof Of this furnished
two years ago in the unseemly
fight which he made against Lud-
ington for the nomination for Gov
ernor? Has he not since shown
himself TO be the mere tool of q
party instead Of Governor of the
whole people? When has Gov
ernor of Wisconsin been found neg
lecting the duties of his Office and
canvassing the State to secure his
election ? The truth is that not
one Of the State officers has been
at the Capital for more than a few
hours at q time during the past
month. The offices have been left
in charge of the clerks and janitors.
The State administration has been
turned into mere party machine,
to aid in keeping the Republican
party in control Of the Offices. Even
should the Republicans succeed in
electing their ticket by pursuing
such a course as this, can it be
called victory? In the history
Of no political party has such inn
positions been practiced upon the
people, and we submit to the indie
pendent voter if the thing has
not been carried quite far enough !?
Is not defeat, when pursuing an
honorable, upright course, to be
preferred to " victory" secured by
such means ms the Republicans are
using2
But if Democrats everywhere do
their duty there is no reason to fear
defeat, as they will be greatly
aided by large independent vote.
The Republicans are by no means
confident Of carrying the State.
This is proven by the way they
are everywhere working and by
the lavish use they are making Of
money. Every Democrat should
be at the polls on Tuesday next.
His duty to the State demands it,
and his duty to his party demands
it. A victory under such leaders as
we have chosen will be perma-
nent one.
