To Me Editor of The Ndtioaai RcDibtican:
SIR: In your article called Democrats in
Office" you seem 10 wonder at the Adjutant-
General appointing an cx-rebel IN his office.
Why, bless your dear soul, the Adjutant-Gcn-
eral never smelled powder during the late war;
and in consequence, Us ho always performed
clerical duty In the war Office, he never has
any sympathy for u Union Soldier-not even II
wounded soldier-and therefore he never can
see any difference between Confederate and
a Union soidier--a Democrat and Republi-
can. He told wounded man one day that be-
cause he had leg Off he could not expect the
Government to keep him employed; that the
Government gave him pension, aud that was
enough.
Its fine business for the Republicans to search
around the country to find some one of their
opponents to put in Office. Is IL possible that
there are no Republicans or ex-Union soldiers
that can fill these positonsY But then these
appointments are not so bad, as the appoint
ment of Secretary Schurz of one Smythe as
chief clerk to Cuss, the superintendent of the
Patent Office building. Here is an English
man appointed to the exclusion of hundreds OF
cx-Union soldiers, who apply every time there
is an examination of candidates for clerkships
This Euglshman has not been in the country
long enough to vote OF know anything of its
institutions, and will bet he don't know the
streets of our city. Who recommends these
men and who recommended this "bloody
Britisher 2" AN EX-SOLDIER.

believe understand what is and what Is not
needed 70 strengthen q party, and now VEN
ture the prediction that II the Administration
continues 10 favor the rebels and Democrats
for the next three months rs thoy have in the
last three that Charles Foster will be beaten
in Ohio 10000 votes. Not that
| think Republicans will vote the
Democratic ticket, but they will not vote at
ALL IL Is like tearing down your broastworks
In front Of an enemy and building up theirs,
thinking thereby to conquer them. No, sir
you cannot doit. I hear murmuring all along
the lines, the Stalwarts are falling TO the rear
as they sec their old enemies smlingly step
to the front. IL they must be rewarded for
their treason say hang them as they deserve
to be; but do not on the eve of an election
promugate 20 the ex-Union soldier that there
Is no longer premium on loyalty. / do not
blame the rebel for asking and receiving, but
do object to the Administration for giving.
The Secretaries of tho different Departments
tell MS that they are compelled 10 favor these
rebels, and must do SO in order to reconcile
the southern Senators and Congressman.
But l will let Mr.. Secretaries into a Sc
crct, aud that is that for every rebel
they recompcnse by giving him position they
make fifty enemies In the Republican party.
The Republican party is composed of intelli-
gent men, who read and think Independent of
its leaders. Each man In the party Is q sover-
oign, aud cannot be bought or baffled by it's
leaders. The health of the body polite can
only be retained by the application of the
proper stimulants. The difference between tho
rank aud file of the two contonding parties is
plainly perceptible. The balance OF power in
the Democratic party are creatures of force and
circumstance. Ignorant of right and wrong,
they become the plant tools of their leaders,
who mold them as the potter does his clay.
They only know aud adhere to two words
whisky and Democncy-andwith an abundance
Of the former their love for the latter becomes
an infatuation. You might as well ask mule
to quit kicking as 10 ask one of them TO change
his politics. They lack the manly courage to
appreciate kindness, and any favor bestowed
upon them Is like chaf thrown 10 the winds
The problem Is solved that reconciliation Is
not n success, and tho sooner the Administra-
tion changes tactics the better for the Repub.
lican party. An easy victory is within our
grasp, II we but heod timely warning aud
weed out every Democrat in the different De.
partments and appoint no more. Honor to
whom honor Is due. am, yours, an cx.Union
soldier, II. b.

A SHOW or RELENTING.

The Charleston Ne,cs and Courier has
taken alarm at the bold frankness of the
Kingstree Star, calls halt, and goes to the
confessional in this shape;
We cannot believe that the Kingstree star
is serious when IL says that 1t is the duty Of
the executive committee of the Democratic
party to warn SwAILs that if he intends to
return to Williamsburg County to take up his
permanent residence "he will do so at his per-
sonal peril" The Democratic party cannot
countenance such procedure. IL is the fear
that Southern Democrats acquiesce in such
propositions that makes it SO difficult for the
Democratic party to regain public confidence.
Things were done IN the canvass of 1876 and
ISIS that cannot and must not be done again.
IL was Il supreme necessity. The necessity no
longer exists.
The Kngstree Star has taken an untenable
position. Its threats are already echoing and
re-echoing in the North. This will not i'm
prove the prospects of the National Democ-
racy. What comes as near homo Is the fact
that bull.dozing. of any sort, hurts us right
here In South Carolina.
The Ncrs and CoUrieris is scarcely more dis
Greet in the terms of. its admonition than
the Kingstree Stn was in challenging it,
II the necessity for the outragcs which
marked the elections Of 1876 and 1878 no
longer exist, the disgrace that they entailed
upon the State of South Carolina still ex-
ists, aud cannot be wiped out by their sus-
pension until another election occurs when
they may be revived in some shape. Under
the laws and principles of right there was
no necessity for the banishing of honored
citizens from its soil or Of soaking it with
! the blood of fated victims during the yeors
named, The crime is confessed, and human.

! necessltY. The blotch remnins.

let them remain in office, they are Demo-
Gratis still, and are continually plotting
against the hand that feeds them, in the
hope that another turn Of the wheel viii
save them in the event Of the Democrats
again attaining TO power.
He states that one of the head clerks of
the Department told him that "a clerk
"ought not to have any politics." aud so
far as his influence goes, IL is invariably in
favor of men belonging in the District of
Columbia, who eschew politics because they
have no citizenship, and for the further
reason that the Government Is In the hands
OF the Republicans.
Our correspondent suggests that the cam
paign committee would secure twice rs
large contributions from the Department In
question If they could overcome the senti-
ments which the Democratic clerks are in-
culcating therein. 1t is TO be hoped that
the campaign committee will have the sa-
gacity TO discover the wisdom of utilizing
all the legitimate advantages of the party.
He further suggests that every Republican
in the city ought TO take THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN and the Sunday Chronicle, and
in that our correspondent shows that his
head is level, for these are the only journals
published at the National Capital that adj
vocate Republican principles and interests.
THE REPUBLICAN gives more general and
local news than any other daily journal in
the city-to say nothing of its politics
while the Sunday Chronicle Is equally ms
newsy and quite as respectable in lis tone
and conduct as any of its Sunday cotem-
poraries.

of the panic of 1873 before the end Of next
year. These facts, better than any argu-
ments, prove the utter fallacy of y change
in our financial system. Meanwhile the
rampageous prophets of evil who argued
that the country would go to rack and ruin
on and after the 1st of January last, when
resumption was accomplished, are gradually
subsiding 1t is estimated that this
increasing population will show
total enumeration at the next CEN
sus of 5O,s5s,000. If we do not as
a people launch out into any wild speculn-
tive passion or rage, it would seem probable
from these figures that before the census of
1890 our population will reach 610OO,OOO,
and in 1900 about 90,000,000, for such spec
ulations are as certainly followed by finan-
cial panics as the ebb follows the flood OF
the tide, and panics always have the effect
Of checking the growth, numerically as well
us financially, of any country.

THE rREsIpENr AND TIE PANTY.

II we are to credit the Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press the
President is in most implicit sympathy and
harmony with the Republican party, its
principles, usages, traditions, and policies,
and there will be no break in their step in
the march of the future. 1t is represented
that Mr. HUBBELL the chairman and man
ager of the Republican Congressional Com
mittee, has had long, harmonious, and
very satisfactory interview with the Presi-
dent relative to the political situation and
the part which the Administration proposes
to bear in the elections Of the present year.
The President was cordial in manner and
speech, and indicated his purpose in the
! first place to execute the laws, notwith-
standing the unrelenting endeavors OH the
part of Democratic Congress to cripple his
prerogatives and limit his powers. He ex-
pressed the opinion that it had become ap-
parent to the country that the Republican
party represents the settled issues of the war
and sound National credit, and its failure to
continue in control of affairs would subject
the Government and the people to unfor-
seen dangers. He indicated that there was
nothing in the position taken in the civil
service order which would prevent any Fed
eral officer here or in the offices throughout
the country from giving such voluntary aid
TO the party MS they wished, nor would any
officer be prevented from participating in
the campaign. In this way the President
has relieved the service from all embarrass-
ment in the way of n full, free, and untram-
melled exercise of all the rights, privileges,
and duties Of citizenship in future elections.
The party is to be congratulated that the
President has become the interpreter Of his
own order thus stripping it of all the fustian
that Democratic and unpropitious Republic
can Interpretation had thrown around it to
verse to weakening Of the Republican
strength that is allied to official position
under the Government. Those Democrats
in Departmental position were highly graft
fed when they felt themselves relieved from
aiding the Republican cause by contribu-
tions and otherwise, and accepted Demo-
cratic Interpretation Of the order with alac-
rity aud gladness. They have not hesitated
to play upon the fears of the timid and
make them think the order was prohbitory
of all participation in politics, and that
its violation would bring disaster to the
offender
The position now taken by the President
is highly satisfactory TO the Congressional
Committee which is preparing for thor
ough and vigorous campaign and movement
along the entire Republican line Under
the present understanding of the Presi.
dents attitude there will be the strictest
accord between the committee and the Ad.
ministration. The Republican employees
OF the several Departments are now taking
an interest in political matters and are con-
tributiug rs literally toward the expenses O.
the committee, as under former Admins
trations. This imparts very cheerful
aspect to the campaign.

The Republicans came into power on the
4th of March, 1861, but had no responsible
ity for any of the financial measures Of the
Government until after the close of that fis-
cal year. Then came the Democratic rebel
lion, which plunged the Nation into del
uge of expense and debt, with which the
people have been wrestling for eighteen
years The maladministration of the
finances of the Government by the Demo-
Gratis for series of years had undermined
confidence and wrought change in the
public mind which resulted in the total
overthrow of that party throughout every
department Of the Government. Then wal
came and with it heavy Indebtedness The
Republican party inaugurated system oi
finances and revenue under which the coun-
try has been extricating itself from debt
and marching steadily on the road that
leads to prosperity. We have, under Re.
publican guidance, reached resumption
where every dollar of our paper currency is
brought to par with gold and silver. The
public debt is being steadily and somewhat
rapidly wiped out, and the Nation is enter
ing upon career Of renewed prosperity
which cannot be interrupted except by adj
mitting the party which attempted the
National life and threw it into adverse path!
to power again. Then disaster would come
as sure as darkness follows night.

pEMoCRArIC MisGovERNMENT.

Figures, when truthiully used, are very
potent factors in bringing conviction to the
public mind. 1t is an old maxim that
Figures won't lie;" but that depends upon
whether their use is placed in honest hands,
for many false position has been intrenched
with fallacious array of figures that would
shame the Father of Lies. The records of
the Government, in spite Of the efforts of
Senator II. G. DAVIS to impeach them, are
generally accepted as truthful and reliable,
and it needs no other source of information
to establish facts relating to the true condi-
tion of the finances of the Nation. A recent
table prepared at the Treasury Department
gives an analysis Of the public debt Of the
United States from July /, 1856, to July /,
1879, which shows beyond perdventure
whether the Democratic or Republican par
ties are the most entitled TO respect and
confidence in managing the affairs Of the
country. 1t appears from this table that
during the last five years of Democratic
rule the cash in the Treasury was reduced
from more than $1S,000000 to less than
$3,000000 during n period of profound
peace, while the public debt was increased
from less than $29OO0,00O to more than
S90,OO0O0O. The following are the exact
figures for the five years in question::

IN 1869 Mr.. SIDNEY l.. WILSON was ap-
pointed Il doorkeeper of the United States
Senate gallery by Republican Senate. lie
was Il soldier in New York regiment dur
ing the war, aud at the battle of Gettysburg
had both legs shot Off He had supplied
himself with artificial limbs, aud manages
to get around on easy service, such as he has
been performing TO give him respectable
livelihood. Now the Democratic nx has
fallen upon his official head, and he is
thrown upon the world TO forage rs nc best
can for subsistence. This cruel act seems
the more strange from the fact that the
Democratic Senatorial caucus passed reso-
luton TO the effect that no person in the
service of the Senate who was a wounded
soldier should be removed. That resolution,
however seems to have been adopted rs q
matter of ornament 10 deceive the public,
and not TO be respected and observed. 1t
was Democratic false light TO allure the
soldier, for the relentless hate Of that party
| for the Nations defenders would not forego
even this sacrifice. 1t is an outrage, but it
is Democratic outrage.
