ONLY FOR FIN.

General Hancock, in his letter on rebel
claims says that nobody expects or
wants such an unnatural action as the
payment by the government of debt,
grant, pension or reward of any sort for
waging war upon its own existence.
The rational inference is, then, that the
south, IN filing over $2,OO0,0OO,00O of
southern claims at the national capital,
and its Representatives in congress, in vot-
ing against an amendment forbidding
their payment, were only INDUCING in a
bit of political pleasantly, OF as it were.
perpetrating a sort of practical joke.

The platform contains this passage:
The Republican party, in forcing protec-
ton for American industry, is entitled to
the gratitude and earnest support of
every Irish American in the land. No
people have greater reason to dread the
results which the Democratic doctrine
of free trade, if once adopted in this
country, would bring upon themselves
and their families. In this connection
Irish American citizens, without regard
to party, are earnestly implored to con-
slider calmly and carefully this vital
question, remembering that at the pres
ent hour agents of England are travelling
throughout the western states ciFculat-
ing speciously written documents and
expending British gold in their efforts
TO secure the election of some president
pledged to enforce tariff for revenue
only, and which if accomplished will
enable the party 20 food our markets

PARTY UNION AND uARMoNY.

The Republican party has had bitter
experience with that element which has
been injected into it, and which is far too
liberal to respect its principles and usages
In party relation. 1t has much that il is
unpleasant TO remember and difficult to
forget, but which may he made prof table
in guarding the future, The Democrats
now control the Senate aud House of Rep
resentatiyes, a fact which is chargeable
largely to the influence Of those who glory
in the term Observation-Disclosures
and who have ignored and refused to sup
port their own party tickets when they have
not been strictly formulated under their
special dctation. In this way they have
given aid and comfort to the enemy until
he has been successful in capturing the
legislative branch of the Government, when
Il would have been otherwise but for the
unllithfulness of this class Of pretended
Republicans. This affords u salutary lesson
for the party to study in shaping its future
action.
The Republicans Of the District o
Columbia can profit by this lesson, II can,
not afford to trust its interests with men
who are influenced by the bitterness Of dis
appointment in their political action sore
heads are not the wisest and sllest counsel
ors in party. Their feelings and iUds-
ments are warped out of line and their OBJ
jecls are too often inconsistent with the

taken cognizance of the movement or
countenanced or aided il to any extent, and
the attempt of Senator VOORHEES, to make
IL responsible for the emigration of q few
hundred men, women and children from
the State of North Carolina to Indiana will
prove a miserable failure.
In view of what has been elected by this
investigation after duration of some weeks,
and the examination of witnesses from
North Carolina, Indiana and the City OF
Washington, at heavy public expense, if
Senator VOORHEES, is statesman of the
good sense and catholic view he is held to
be by himself and his admirers, he will
summarily take down his sign, put up his
shutters and shut shop as an investigator,
for his enterprise is rapidly "petering out

which to escape the rdicule of the eSGntry
if the farce is pushed much farther with
such pitirul results. The game is not worth
the candle, for the more Of the real truth
that is connected with il is known the
more ridiculous the adventure is made to
appear. Settle up and subside are the
wisest things now to do. Has Senator VooR-

TIE EXOpu, INVESTIGATION.

Probably no greater farce in the way of
investigation has occurred in Congress
since the Democrats went into the whole
sale investigation business than Senator
VOORHEES, attempt to magnify the colored
exodus from North Carolina into a matter
of public interest and wrong. What the
Senator hoped to accomplish when he in.
stituted this inquiry, or what lie desired to
bring to light to reward the effort has not
as yet been made apparent If his hunt
for something was wild adventure; if he
suspected that something Of public inn
portance was lurking somewhere, and has
been dag-netting at random TO find it; if
he had leisure time on his hands that he
did not know how 10 utilize in any other
direction, then, perhaps, he may find for
himself some excuse for initiating this ex-
peusive aud farcical performance. But If

the Republican party is engaged in .

II Is DYING OUT.

The odious cry of Capitalization which
has been so loudly and so persistently
echoed by the Democracy is now but sell
dom heard, and then only by some extra
benighted Bourbon living at Nasby's Cross
Roads or thereabouts. Capitalization was
a favorite weapon so long as the Democracy
were in feeble minority and helpless in the
control of the Government. But when ac-
cident, fraud or other causes placed them in
positions where the loaves and fishes were
obtainable, discreet silence began to be
preserved regarding Capitalization! In
fact, ever since the labor riots of 1877. the
Bourbon press have been more reasonable
than otherwise in their State. Rights
utterances, and Capitalization has not been
the bugbear it was few years since.
The Republican party is the one of prog
ress, power and good intent toward the
country. Its teachings are not sedItious,
nor are its principles inimical to State con-
situations or State Rights when neither
comes in conflict with National supremacy
or National laws. Each State is power in
itselfwhen it flies the flag of the Nation AT
its masthead and defends the unity of The
Republic. This the Republican party be.
| lieves and is prepared at all times TO de
fend. If this be Capitalization, make the
most of it,

IT is now stated, on what appears to be
good authority, that Colonel THOMAS
KEoGH, secretary of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, and his friends in North
Carolina feel much dissatisfaction over the
appointment of SHERMAN delegates to the
National Convention by the State Central
Committee Indeed it is said that so wide
is this feeling OF dissatisfaction that con-
vention will soon be called in the State mt
which other delegates will he appointed
Much fault is found with the State Com
nittec for assuming to appoint delegates
without calling a convention, and it is init
mated that the committee will be summur-
lily endorsed for its oliiciousness. This is
in accord with our information from that
State. States are not TO he stolen with i'm
