Mr.. SECRETARY BURCH, of the Confed-

IT brgins to be understood that the is.
"sucs presented by the late extra session
of Congress are not the only ones of absorb
inginterest to the public. Secretary SHERMAN
has already aroused at the very beginning
of his political summer tour adeep interest
among commercial people, especially on oul
financial situation. He has shown that
resumption, with all its attending blessings
has been the work of the. Republican party
and that necessity exists, in order to per
petuate and give them lasting stability, that
the Republican party shall be retained in
power. The Democrats are now, aud al
ways have been the enemies of resumption
1t is therefore natural that they should
view with alarm the excited interest ex-
National Republican., 1879-07-21

WHENEVER Secretary SHERMAN has any
thing to say in public about theaccomplish-
ment of resumption, it is the habit of the
Democratic press to expatiate and enlarge
upon the deplorable and unfortunate,
though necessary, incidents Of commercial
disaster and individual distress which ac-
companied that act. They omit all refer
ence to the more remote, though more di-
rectly responsible, causes whichled to these
incidents. They forget TO say that re-
sumption would not have been necessary, so
to speak, if there had been no war, and that
the Democratic party was alone responsible
| for that war. In the light of these facts it
| appears that the Democracy, and not Mr.
| SHERMAN, nor the resumption act, is to be
held TO account for the misfUrtunes which
befell the country during the period Of con-
traction, for the wealthy men reduced &c
beggary," for the honest and industriou,
men degraded to tramp-lilc, for the many
wrecked families, for the homes blghted
| for the lives embittered, and for the in,
crease of the inmates Ofour alms-houses and
lunatic asylums, US we'll as for the hundreds
and thousands of gallant men slain in battl,
aud millions upon millions oftreasure spen
in sectional strife. Every line written O.
word spo ken in detraction of resumption
reveals these facts, and, despite the Demo
cratic perversion Of them, serves as an ad
monition against reposing further trust in
that party. If MX SHERMAN accOmplishe'
nothing more than to evoke this adinonitior
by his present tour in Maine aud OHIO, h,
will deserve well Of his party and his coun

THE public lands in the State of Louisi-
ana are now offered for sale at prices so low
as to place them within the reach of almost
any and every body. Despite this seductive
fact, however, the browny laborers of that
State began an exodus to Kansaslas spring,
which will undoubtedly be renewed next
year, If not sooner. Is it not little strange
that poor people should fly in terror from
such seductive offers of homes upon their
native soil? The answer to this question
can be found IN the fact that the rich and
productive lands of the Pelican State are
blighted by the effects of partisan tyranny
and murderous political prescription, while
Kansas, with inferior advantages, presents
the encouraging invitation of civil liberty
and free government.

Is GENERAL "JoE" WILCOX, once an Off
eel of the United States army, educated at
West Point, afterward rebel General, and
ernment, still on the roll and receiving pay
from the District? We ask the question
because for some months past General VIII.
COX has been employed by the Senate, and
there is lingering idea in our minds that
the law forbids any one from receiving pay
in two different capacities from the United
States, and the United States pays half til,
expenses of the District. Will the Commis
sioncrs rise and explain?

JUDGE REUBEN NOBLE, of the tenth iu-

it on the ground that he was already under
contract to serve his constituents in a certain
capacity, and that he could not seek or accept
any other contract until he has served the
time for which he was elected, There seems
to be some difference between him and Tom
