THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COM.
PANY,

The indianapolis journal of the 10Th in
slant contains strong editorial which calls
attention to the neglect on the part
of the officers of the Western Union
Telegraph Company to repair the
wrong and injustice done Hons JAMES
n. TYNER and JOHN w. FOSTER of
Indiana, by the testimony of its employees
before the POTTER Committee in relation to
the observation-disclosures kilograms.
1t is quite time some reparation were made,
for, as the matter now stands, the company
stands accused not only Of betrdying that
"sacred confidence" of which President
GREEN had so much to say in his recent
speech before the Lotos Club, but of SEEM
ing TO aid blackening characters The
witnesses examined by the committee were
JAMES o. GREEN, son OF the president of the
company; CLARENCE CARY, the attorney of
the company, and FLOYD GRANT clerk in
the general office at New York, all Democrats.
These gentlemen were sent there by Pres
ident GREEN himself to testify of what
was simply II matter Of gossip among the
employees, CARY had never seen the dis
patches, and GREEN and GRANT had not
seen them for two years and Il half. One
of them admitted he could not repeat q
"word in them, and that what he said
was probably gratuitous" CARY adj
mitted that he had never seen them, and
didn't know what they contained yet
impressions" and assumptions are freely
given, by means Of which it is attempted
TO smirch the character of three gentlemen
whose official positions are no higher than
the esteem in which they are held in In
diana. Fortunately General TYNER had
secured the messages of President ORroN
before his death and was able to produce
them, showing the testimony volunteered
by the company's attaches to be not only
inexcusabe and malicious, but so false that

upon as q signal of danger 10 the Republic
and to the safety ofour institutions. And 1t
will not do to pooh-pooh this danger
in the face Of the constant proof
which now exists of their determination TO
restore the dnte-bcll,m condition of affairs
all over the country. Every mail from the
South comes freighted with proof of this
kind some of it hot-headed and rampantly
impudent, like the editorial vaporings of
the Okolona Southern States, and some Of it
evolved in the cool and deliberate argu-
ments of such leading Democratic journals
as the Mobile Register. To show what big
otry and perveision can accomplish, as well
as to prove the existence of this conceited
assertion OF political heresies, we copy the
following editorial extract from the last
mentioned journal OF recent date
The great ofrcnse of Mr.. DAVIS Is that he
has never asked for pardon at the hands of
the Government Why should ho ask for par
don Why should any at the South have been
compelled to ask for pardon? IF the Southern
States were simply conquered provinces at the
close of the war, there might have been some
reason in the demand. But the theory of our
Government was maintained, although for
years it had very little practical effect and the
South was considered TO be again part Of the
Union. There is no Government in this coun-
try except that made by the people. Hence,
as the South soon assisted in forming that
Government, IN asking pardon she addressed
her petition partly TO herself This was man
| ifestly absurd, but the Republican party has
never been careful TO have it's practice conform
to the theory Of our institutions.

srALMARr SPEECH MAKING.

Senator ZACK CHANDLER's famous speech
on the question of pensioning JEFF DAVIS
was not his maiden effort in stalwart elo-
quence. In the Thirty-ninth Congress Sem
ator HENDRICKS, of Indiana, took occasion
to taunt him with having written letter
in 1861 in which he said " The Union is
hardly worth preserving without little
blood-letting !" and his reply to that taunt
opened up a rich quarry of his stalwart
power of speech which has lost nothing of
its force and power by having been laid
aside and out of sight for decade or more.
1t was rs follows:
The Senator from Indiana has arraigned me
upon an old Indictment, for having written
certain letter in 1861. IL is not the first time
that have been arraigned In that indictment
Of blood-letting' WIS first arraigned for
IL on this floor by that traitor JOHN c. BREcK.

| fought against our flag. was arraigued by
another Senator from Kentucky, and by other
| traitors upon this hoorr. l expect to be ar
| raigncd again. 70 my prophetic soul y l wrote
| that letter. and l stand by the letter; and
what was it2 What was tho position of the
country when that letter was written2 The
Democratic party, as an organization, had ar
| rayed itself against the Governmental Demo-
cratic traitor in the Presidential chair, and n
Democratic traitor in every Department Of
| this Government; Democratic traitors
preaching treason on this floor, and preach
ing treason in the Hall Of the other
| House; Democratic traitors in your army and
in your navy; Democratic traitors in every
| Department of this Government. Your flag
was fired upon, and no response. The Demo-
cratic party had ordained that this Govern
mcnt should DO ovorthrown, and i, as Scna.
| tor from Michigan, wrote TO the Governor of
that State, Unless You are prepared to shed
blood for the preservation of this great Gov
ernmcnt, the Government is overthrown."
| That is all there was of that letter. That |
said, and say again and / tell that Senator
| II he is prepared to go down in history with
the Democratic traitors who then co.operated

"blood-lctting" letter, and i stand by the re-
cord Us then made.

THERE are those who now begin TO see
why it was that General CAMERON resigned
from the Senate, If he had made up his
mind to resist the efforts of black -mailers
in the shape of would-be widows as sternly
few years ago as he now does, he would
have deGed age and intimidation until the
end and retained his seat in that body. But
this is not the first time woman has been
at the bottom of the unseating of a states
man.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-03-24

The compromise. proposed by the Demo-
cratic caucus is nothing more nor less than
an evasion of the principles at stake in the
existing controversy. 10 accept it would
be to surrender those principles and to hoist
the flag of fraud and corruption in all of our
great cities. A pure and free national cleo
tion is, as matters now stand, an uncer-
tainty, but with the acceptance of this bas-
tard compromise it would become an abso-
lutte impossibility.

UNDER the proposed amendment of the
national election laws by the Democratic
caucus managers, all national supervision of
those elections would become mere sham
perfect farce. The proposition is charac-
teristic of the Democracy. Here is law
which is obnoxious to them because it pro-
vides for the punishment of fraud, and they
propose insidiously to extract its faugs and
then leave it as harmless nonentity upon
the statute books

IT is unanimously conceded by the de-
feated candidates for offices in the Senate
that Mr. VOORHEES, was the most uniformly
pledged member of that body during last
weeks canvass. And some of them in
sinuate that his pledges were worth less, If
possible, than the Fiat money he advocates.
His Fiat followers should not object, how
ever, for an Office is an office, provided only
you think il is an office. And all that is
necessary to get an Office is to get promise
of it. This is as plain as u pike staff-ex-
ccpt to those who will not see it.
