President Hayes is confidently expected
to veto the ant-Chnese bill in " ringing

ents predict that our chief magistrate will
retrieve the national honor imperied by
partisan politics, and intorpose the single
arm that can now avail against the
disgraceful results of congressional truck

exercise of the presidential prerogative,
and President Hayes cannot afford to

to what the clear sense of the common

a Dog Baying the Moon.

TO he Editor of the Naiional Republican
SIR: Don Pot, in last Sundays CdDitdl, cIiti-
cises Whitelaw Reid's address before au asso-
citation of editors and journalists in Ohio, and
characterizes 1t as 'revamped for the occasion
and remarkable for its ahectation, its conceited
prctentousness, that overlies its surface in a
thin varnish of dilletanticism." This is clear
case of a dog baying the MOON" We are of
the opinion thai Don will be as successful in
this as he was in his attempt to crticise Nc
Garraban in the lobby of the United States
Senate. 1t is wonderful with what avidity
small men like Don Pot attack large men,
They always seek them out aud direct all the
venom OF their small natures in the assault.
The idea is, suppose, to bring themselves into
notice, for believe these little fellows dislike
above everything to be passed by unnOticed.
There is certain jealousy In their little bodies
which dislikcs to see any one larger, physi-
cally or intellectually, than themselves and
the effect is about the same on their narrow
patures as a red rag Is to n bull
Don also criticises Senator Conkling and has
"revamped for the occasion" in language "re-
markablc for its aifeCtatiOn its conceited pre-
tentiousness, that overlies its surface in thin
varnish of" pure jealous cussedness, certain
little scenes said to lave passed between him
| (COnkling) and certain other gentlemen.
| You perceive, Don, that we have taken the
liberty of using your own language, only al
tering the phraseology little to meet your
peculiar case, for yours is a peculiar case, even
as yours is q peculiar anatomy.
| Don is getting pompous, and is strutting
about on stills, just because his brother has
been nominated for Greenback Governor OF
Ohio. Why, my dear little fellow, don't you
know that that brother of yours hasn't bit
better show for being Governor of Ohio than
you have of ever becoming oven second-clas'
journalist?
There may be such thing as reflected
greatness even in being near kin to a man
| who is nominated for an important office, even
| if there isn't a ghost Of chance for his elec
tion but my dear Don, there is none in thi,
case. It's all mistake my pompous editor OF
the capital, and the sooner you are made ac-
quainted with the facts in the case the better
| it will be for your digestion. 81

The Notes of ReconoIIIn,iou,


Harper, Of the Okoona states kneeling at the feet
of Jefferson Davis cllnglng to his knees, while
Herman, locked right hands with him and placing
his left Ground his neck swore his was the grandost
speech he had ever listened TO-
The States itself calls back to the frightened
Bourbons of tho North, which have impugned
its Democracy:
They know full well that our Democracy is the
Democracy of the SOuth-the Democracy Of eight
out OF ten followers OF our party flag on their side
OF the ONO ana the Polomuci
They know full well that our Democracy was
their Democracy in l6bOi
They know full well that our Democracy Is their
Democracy today unloss they are Radicals at heart
and only remain lin our camp TO capture the loayes
and fishes IN the community where we have Il ma
jority;
They know that the Democratic party is
The State Rights party
The Secession party;
The White Mans party,
They know full well that the peace men, the Val.
landigham men of ls6l-'6j, were heart and soul in
sympathy with the old COniedoracy;
That they rcIoced IN our Victories
That they lamented our defeats:
They organized their "Sons Of Liberty" and
party and hamper Lincoln and his hireings in
their devil work of destruction.
And a later number of the States gives fur
ther aud fuller definition
Democracy means State Rights, and State Rights
means secession,
Democracy means white supremacy and white
supremacy means the abolition of the Amendments.
Democracy means the swlii and total overthrow
of the last sainiul memory Of Lincolnism.
Is not the status of the States now so well
defined that he who runs may read And do
the war Democrats desire longer to train In
company like this2

CAPITAL MOVING.

Now the New York Herald has severe
attack of REAvIs and lashes itself into
foam on account Of the bad location of the
Federal Capital in Washington, for the rea-
son that it is among the least healthful of
f" American cities" and liable to be captured
by any great naval power; and for the fur
ther reason that the moral atmosphere of
the city of New York adapts it peculiarly
to the elevation of the morals of the wives
and daughters of the members of the Ma
tional Legislature who accompany their
husbands and fathers; and further 1t in
sists that the seat OF government of great
Nation should never be located in a provin-
cial town.
For these reasons the HeroH asks, with a
ioot-pad's assurance, that the National Capt.
tai shall be removed to that moral ulcer
" on the body polite the city of New
York. There is refreshing GOODNESS in this
proposition that far excels anything yet ac-
complished by GAMGEE's refrigeratng pro-
cess. Tho deatl-rate of Washington and
New York show the utter fallacy of the
claim on account Of the superior healthful-
ness of that city over this, while the dis
parity is still greater and more largely in
favor of Washington when the moral
aspects of the two cities are considered.
The very paper that clamors against tho
moral status of Washington is laden with
wrongs murders, and outrages committed
in its own city on the Fourth of July.
There are no less than five outright muir
ders, a steamer capsized by drunken roughs,
besides a vast catalogue of lesser crimes,
showing how the day was kept by that
highly moral, order-loying and law-abiding
city.
! If we did not regard the HerdlFs spasm
of Capital moving u sort of REAvIs pastime,
for the want Of other and better employ
ment, we might correct its misrepresenta-
| tons regarding the climate, the health, and
| the moral condition of Washington but that
would seem TO be uncalled for with intelli-
gent people who are at all conyersant
with the true condition Of the National
Capital, as beautiful city, located in the
most healthy climate during all the seasons
of the year in the United States with ex-
tensiye and beautiful parks, wide aud highly
improved streets-with superior facilities
for education with q police Of unparalleled
vigilance; with Sunday laws that are en-
forced, and with q larger per centago Of at
