National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-10-14

SECRETARY EvARTs' cheerfully ayowed
intention to make a speech for the Repub-
ican ticket in New York is the cause of n
great deal of discontinue in Democratic
circles. But, to add to this disgruntled
feeling, it is reported that he has actually
been in consultation with General ARTHUH
and Mr.. CORNELL. Thereat an obduratc
Opposition exchange exclaims, despairingly
"Well! The Republican party is unified
To which we add, Yea, verify! And, tha
it is a party of principles, not men. Mr.
CoRNELL's election is not half so importan
in the eyes of good Republicans as the de-
feat of Mr.. ROBINSON, and with it the de
feat of the Democracy.

IT now appears that TILDEN's neglect or
refusal to carry out his attempt TO purchase
an electoral vote i'll the South in 1876 was
occasioned by his penuriousness. He made
the bargains, OF attempted to make them,
in South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida,
Mt very high figures At the same time
another bargain at comparatively low
figure had been made out in Oregon
TuLpEN "threw off" on the expensive
bargains, possibly for the reason that his
"immoral audacity" was of the economical
kind, and stood to win or lose by the cheap
one. In the end, however, his corrupt
efforts all failed, for the reason that the
honest impulses, which are the safeguards
of the Republic, prevailed and none of thes'
bargains we're consummated.

THE Democratic press has assumed that
Consul MosBY has been removed. This as
sumption was necessary in order to furnish
d basis for the assaults recently made from
that quarter upon the Department of State
The truth is, however, he has not been re-
moved, nor has the idea of his removal been
contemplated for moment, although hC
has been guilty of acts which might justify
his immediate dismissal from office. Nor
we add, has he been prohibited from max
ing all the investigations he may be in
clined to make into the affairs of his prede.
cessor at Hong Kong or into those Of any
other consulate. But it is true that he has
been properly rebuked for having given tC
the press er parte statements Of his inyesti
cations before sending them TO the Depart
ment or to his superior officers.

TIE idea that the election of Demo-
cratic President in 1880 will insure Repub-
ican success in 1854 is, to say the least,
unique. 1t provides that the Opposition
shall get control of affairs, from which they
were driven when they had it before only
by an appeal to arms for the purpose of
breaking up Sectionalism; this in the face
of the fact that there is no such thing as
Nationalism in the Democratic party. The
promoters of this scheme should Pool their
issues with JOHN KELLY and GEORGE
WILLIAM CURTIS without delay.

The ART Of Going Away.

1t has been said that one of the most
important social complishments is that
of entering the room gracefully; but to
our mind that of leaving one easily and
iudiciously is to be preferred. 1t is pain
full to see people anxious to beat a retreat
from a call or visit. and yet apparently
as unable to escape as rats in a trap, al
though nothing bars their egress. and all
persons concerned would gladly dispense
with their company. The art or science
of departure both from localities and
positions is worth studying III great as
well as little matters. To understand
when to bring to an end a morning call
or public career requires, in a lesser or
greater degree, the exercise Of the same
faculty. No visitor is likely to be Popu-
lar who has not the tact TO leave at the
proper time q house at which be may be
staying. 1t is one of the greatest merits
of novelist to know when to wind up
bis story, and the orator who can SIC
down at the right moment and in the
right way is master of good half "a
his art.
