A Review of tho Case Of Captain Jouett
TO the Editor of The NaHond Republican,
SIR; An article appearing in the Sunday Her.
AID of yesterday, misroproscnting the facts in
the case of Captain james Il. Jouett, u. S. NJ,
recently nominated for promotion to tho grade
of commodore rs u reward for distinguished
conduct in battle, deserves u reply. The Hon
orable Secretary Of the Navy, in communi-
cation addressed TO Senator Williams upon
tho subject of Jouett's promotion, after re-
viewing his war record makes use of tho fol-
lowing language: "For these eminent, con.
spicuous aud signal acts of galantry Captain
Jouett has never received appropriate and
special recognilion-has never received that
reward by advancement In rank which his
marked and prominently gallant conduct mer.
ited."
The writer Of the article in question denies
tho truth of this statement, declares that the
law of July, 1866 was passed for tho purpose
Of giving special recognition In just such cases
as Jouett's, and that under this law he did
receive the reward which his splended record
for gallantry entitled him TO. In support of
this statement, he quotes part of tho law of
July, 1865 but carefully avoids giving the last
clause, clause that specially provides that
the existing law In reference to advancement
of officers for extraordinary heroism shall
remain In full force, thereby showing plaiuly
that the law OF July, 1866 was intended for
general aud not ior special advancement OF

Tho Two Principal Political Parties and
Their Difference.
From the Washington Volks Tribun (Gennan)
Edited by Carl Roesor.


Edited by Carl Roesorl
Frequently We notice the superficial re.
mark that no difference exists between the
dominant parties of this Gountry-the Demo.
cratic and the Republican; that both arc cor.
rupt, and other similar charges. A substantial
difference, however, exists which may be
traced back to the formation of this Republic
and Is found in tho Capitalization and deCen-
tralization the unity rs nation, or the State
sovereignty. The contest between these two
ropugnant tendencies originated with the es
tablshment or creation of this Republic
The Democratic party always favored cen.
traliaation, the subordinatiOn of tho National
Government to the State governments, aud
considered the former only the agent Of tho
latter. The decentralization theory developed
and cultivated the nullidcatiUn doctrine
later the secession heresy, and eliminated
finally in open rebellion against the National
Government. The Federal, aud afterward
the Republican party, have always advocated
and adopted the Capitalization theory, based
on tho Constitutional declaration that the
Constitution and the laws of Congress of the
United States are the supreme laws Of tho
land aud places the authority Of the National
Government over that of tho several States.
Tho contest of both parties in framing the
Republic eyaded the.questions of centrallza-
tion and decentralization by defective COM
promise, and this compromise was the Consti-
tuition ITSELF by inserting that tho National
Government shall have only such power and
authority as is specially delegated by the
States; all other right aud authority is vested
in and reserved for the different States.

been written and published, yet we remain In
