SATURDAY, JULY IL, 1879.

A CHANGE of localities makes a
great difference sometimes. In the
State of Ohio, the Democratic pol
iticians are doing everything in
their power to conciliate the Green
hackers. They call them pet
names, and try to persuade them
that the Greenbackers and Demo
Gratis are one and the same on the
currency question. One reason why
Gen. Ewing received the nomina-
ton for Governor was because he
was thought to be friendly and pop
ular with the Greenbackers. Ohio
is Republican State, and without
the Greenback vote the Democrats
have no hope of success.
But in Mississippi it is differ
ent. The Nationals, or Green
hackers, have an organization
there and propose put full tieke
in the field. They are acting indie
pendent of Democracy, and it il
amusing to see how the Democratic
editors heap upon them all sorts o.
abuse. No epithet is too harsh OF
too coarse and vulgar to bestoW
upon them. They are as severe in
their denunciations of them as they
used to be when they prosecuted Re
publicans. 1t is only difference
of locality. In Ohio the Demo
Gratis want the greenbackers' sup
port, and can't get along without it
In Mississippi they do not need it.

a Confederate, with, possibly, one
exception. All the executive officers
in the State are ex-Confederates.
And SO it is in other States.
If it had not been 50 uniformly
true in oil the Southern States that
Union men in the Demo
cratic party were kept out
OF positions of honor and
trust, it might be regarded as acci,
dental, but it is the rule, and if any
Union man gets a nomination fol
office in the South, it is a rare ex,
eeption.
If the Union men in the Demo
cratic ranks do not complain a
these things We do not kno tina
we have any right to, but We men
ton it as fact, aud as a publ
journalist we have right to speal
of it. Ex- Confederates have a per
feet right to hold the Offices if the,
can get them, but they ought not t
prescribe others because they tool
the other side. They ought not t.
be clanish.
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1879-07-12
DON'T BE CLANISH.

We cheerfully accord to every
ex-Confederate soldier all the rights
enjoyed by every other American
citizen. We would not if we could,
deprive him of a single one, OF
abridge a single one in any way.
They have perfect right to vote
and to hold Office, and the laws of
the land will protect them in the
enjoyment Of these rights. But We
do not believe it is right to make
service in the Confederate army an
exclusive consideration. But, says
one, this is not done. The facts
are against such an assertion. We
have just read speech made re-
Gently by Hon. Walter Evans, Re-
publican candidate for Governor
in Kentucky, in which he
comments on the persOnnelle
of the Democratic ticket in
that State. There were only
about fifteen thous and men in the
Confederate army from Kentucky
against sixty thousand in the Union
army. There are a large number
of ex-Feaeral soldiers there who
have voted and acted with the
Democratic party. But there is
not single man on the Democratic
ticket who was not participant in
the rebellion or an earnest and
avowed sympathizer with the lost
cause. Before the Democratic
Safe Convention, no man could win
unless he had loved the Confeder-
ate flag, and given his energies and
sympathies for the overthrow of the
Federal Government. It can not
be possible that there are no Union
men there, now in the Democratic
party, capable of filling the Offices.
Both of the United States
Senators from that State were
sympathizers with the rebellion,
and one of them fought in the last
ditch. A majority of her Repre-
sentatives were Confederates OF
Confederate sympathizers.
And it is so in others States
There was large Union element in
Tennessee, but since the Democracy
came into power no man has beer
elected Governor, who had no
served in the Confederate army
With single exception, all tn
Democratic Representatives in Con
gress are ex-Confederates. Oul
Senators were both actively en-
gagged in the rebellion. Every
member of the Supreme Bench was

pecial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, July 8.-The re-
ports which Democratic newspapers
are industriously circulating, to the
effect that the civil service order Of
the President is to be disregarded,
are untruthful. There is no doubt
that some machine politicians have
been seeking lately to secure Fed
eral appointments on the basis of
some trades and to have certain
Democrats removed Republicans ap-
pointed in their stead, but it can be
stated, upon the authority of the
President, that he has no intention
of abandoning or even modifying
the civil service order. The Presi-
dent said if he made any change in
the order, he should simply make it
stronger and more inhibitory than
it now is or was intended to be.

Who Is Responsible !


That most entertaining and accomplished
fault-hnder, the Nation, calls upon the New
York Times to correct that pernicious false
hood that the Southern brigaders in Con-
gross revived the sectional controversy. The
Nation must be troubled with defective
memory. or else it has become so Democratic
that 1t Will not see facts as they are. Ii may
not be the 'Brigaders" themselves who have
raist tbs sectional controversy. but their
supporters, or perhaps their leaders in the
Democlatic party. The Nation assumes that
the revival of the controversy took place in
lS7G Such is not the case. In the cam
paign Of last year, the Republican press and
speakers ut large made no allusion to the
Southern question. During the period be-
tween tie Inauguration of President Hayes
and the meeting of Congress, there was no
accusation against the South by prominent
Republicans. 1t came after the elections of
last November, when ii was disclosed that
the Southern leaders had not kept their
pledges to the President and the country, but
had permitted, if they did not aid, in carry
ing the elections by fraud and violence. 1t
came when the leaders of the Democratic par
ty in Congress undertook to force the repeal
of Federal election laws and to wipe from the
statute book every vestige of war legislation.
The sectional controversy was revived by the
Democrats when they insisted that jefferson
Davis should not be excluded from the bene-
fits of the Mexican pension bill, and when
Mr. Lamar defended the heresy of secession
and Mr.. Thurman said good word for Da-
Wis. 1t has been kept alive ever since by the
action of the Southern Brigadiers, who con-
troll the Democratic organization by force of
numbers, by their denial of the right of the
Federal government to protect itself by pre-
venting fraudulent elections, by advocating
measures to deprive the Federal courts of
their power, and by futile attempts to so
change existing statutes that rebel claimants
for war losses will be placed on the same
ground with those who are able to prove 10y
atty. The Nation should wipe its glasses.

The strong hold which the administration
of President Hayes has taken on the conf
dence and respect of the country-a hold
which is every day growing stronger and
deeper-is so evident that now not even his
most stalwart opposer of eighteen months or
two years ago attempts to dispute or belittle
the fact. What the people begin to see is
that in every way, the administration is
clean. From the beginning there have been
no scandals, and there has been no self-seek-
ing. The President and all his cabinet Off
GERS have appreciated the purpose for which
they hold their offices, and they have had an
eye single to the furthering of the interests
of the whole country, and not of any party
or class. In whatever has been undertaken
or accomplished there has been no blowing
of trumpets or seeking for applause, but ev-
erything has been done quietly and conscien-
tiously. In spite of the malicious cavil against
Mr. Hayess method of ''civil service re-
FORM it is an admitted fact that the public
service has not been as honestly or as eco
nomically administered in many years As
regards the policy Of Cancellation toward the
South with which the President began his ad-
ministration, there has been no change or
backing down. He is as ready now as he was
in the beginning to give the Southern people
the management of their own affairs and as
anxious to have them feel that neither the
government nor the people of the North owe
them any spite or ill-will 1t is simply the
misfortune of the Democrats that, in attempt
ing to eneroach upon the prerogatves of the
Executive and take away the safeguards of
an honest election, they have given him the
opportunity to show the stuff that is in him,
and to read them some of the plainest lessons
that ever emanated from the executive chair
We're Mr.. Hayes in a position to accept a
nomination for second term, no man would,
at the present time, be more talked of for the
next President than he, and We note as a sig
nihoant fact that leading Ohio politician
is quoted in the New York Herald as saying
that, in the utter absence of any effort ON the
Presidents part TO secure a denomination, il

The Northeast Passage.


The news from Professor Nordenskjolds
arctic exploring expedition if authentic,
means that northeastern passage from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean has been accom-
plished. This feat will place the Swedish explor-
er in the front rank of those daring men who
have so many times braved the dangers and
discomfOrts of the Arctic region, and so oft
en- with little to show as to practical results of
their labOrs. Most of the yoyagers whose at
tempt5 to reach the pole or to seek northern
passage between the two great oceans make
up the exciting story Of Arctic navigation,
have sailed from east to west and have mad {
the waters north of America the scene of
their explorations. Nordenskjold determine d
to solve the question whether or not there is
navigable water north of Asia, and he has
proved that there is.
1t is too soon even to speculate about the
practical value of his achievement It may
seem at first improbable that valuable vessels
of commerce will ever undertake the passage
to and from Europe by way of Berhing Strait
when Nordenskjold has accomplished it only
after encountering great peril and after fears
had been entertained that he and his ship
were lost. But it must be remembered that
he is the pioneer voyager over this route,
and, now that it is established that such a
route exists, clear of ice at certain seasons fu.
ture explorations and surveys may show that
the voyage may be made with comparative
safety. The Bennett expedition which will
soon sail from California will find much en-
couragement in Nordenskiold's success, and
will probably add greatly to our knowledge of
a region which is now at least open to explO-
ration,

Twenty fifth Anniversary OF the Re
nuDIiCau Party,

The Republicans of Massachusetts are pre-
pairing to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of the formation of the Republican party
in that State, which came into being at Wor-
cester on the 10Th of July, 1854. 1t appears
from the records that Vermont was a trihe
ahead of Massachusetts in this respect, a con-
vention adopting the Republican name and
platform having been held at Montpelier on
the 18th of the same month. To Michigan
however, is awarded the honor of having first
formed and christened the Republican party,
her convention having been held week pre-
vious to Vermont's-July 9Th, 1854. Hon.
Lawrence Brainard of ST. Adams was presi-
dent of the Montpelier convention, which
was participated in by several prominent
men from this section of the State, among
whom We're Jarvis F. Burrows of Vernon,
Hon. j. d. Bradley DIR. Francis j. Higgn-
son, Rev. Addison Brown and o. H. Plat of
this town. The convention nominated Gen
L. p. Walton of Montpelier for Governor
(who afterward declined), and o. II. Plat,
then editor of the Bratteboro Statesman, was
nominated one of the delegates to the nation
al convention. The Republican party has
had grand career, and the proposal for n
celebration of its twenty fifth anniversary is
good one but it is sad, and not little
surprising, to think how few of the men
whose names are associated with its forma-
ton and early history are left to join in the
celebration.
