THE MASK Is oEF.

Senator DAVID DAVIS of Illinois has
written letter, in which he throws off his
neutral mask and plants himself squarely
into the democratic party. This is as it
should be, for it is far more honorable than
to masquerade as he has done for
some years on pretended neutral
ground. The guise is now entirely OFF,
and we congratulate him and the coun-
try on his assuming the role of an honest
man, who has cast aside his tricks of politi-
cal legerdemain and put on the real garb
of copperheadism, which he has been con-
cealing heretofore under his neutral cloak.
DAVIS will now be known in his real charac-
ter, but his letter will not weigh feather
with the people Of Illinois or elsewhere, who
were deluded into the belief that he would
be republican senator rs he was repub-
lican justice of the supreme court when
LINCOLN appointed him as such. The de-
ception is broken.

sECTIOSALIsNI.

THE reply of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
to our article on this subject is Characteristic.
Though very lengthy, it may be eptomized
thus: The republican party will never ac-
cept the professions of the southern people
or regard them as loyal to the union until
they accept the rule Of the republican party,
ii. C., become members Of that political or
ganization and thereby make it dominant in
every southern state. That is the only pro.
fession that can purge them Of "the infamous
crime of rebellion"
The Lynchburg Virgiaidn ought not to
indulge in such statements as the above, for
they may lead us to change our mind as to
its truthfulness if kept up in this tone.
We have no quarrel with a democrat for
being SUCH 1t is the right of q citizen to
be what he pleases politically. The rebels
were all democrats when they went into the
war to destroy the government, and we do
not expect them TO change their natures
and instincts politically. But what we had
q right to expect Of them was that when
they pretended to surrender to the govern
ment that they should manifest their good
faith by respecting its constitution and the
laws TO which they surrendered or pre-
done in all or in majority of the states
that were in rebellion. In five of those
states the amendments to the constitution
which guarantee to every citizen, be he
white or black, republican or democrat,
the right of ofopinion the right Of suffrage
aud the right of being without molestation
or interference from any one are openly
and delantly trampled under foot. This is
what we object to and correction Of this
practice is what we demand. This is
what the democrats in at least five of the
states of this union have denied, accom-
panying their denial with force, outrage
and even murder The republicans have
submitted TO the unlawful and outrageous
policy and methods Of the south as long as
it is safe to the national welfare to do so.
They propose now TO hold the south at bay
with its 13s electoral votes by making the
north solid to degree that will preserve
the government from any powOr on their
part in the future TO control or shape its
policy. This is the remedy, and it is
within our reach in this contest, The north
never could have been made solid had the
south respected the constitution, the laws
and the rights of every citizen as they are
guaranteed therein. But the page of his
tory-uncontroyertiblc hstory-has estab-
lshed the fact that the right Of opinion, of
suffrage and Of life finds norespect in five of
the late insurgent states. This is the great
wrong that is to be righted-not in blood,
unless the south shall again resort TO that
expedient, but by holding the south away
from federal power with d sternness that
! will be eficctual and with power that is

THE FIRST VIRGINIA DISTRICT.

II will be recollected that some time be-
fore the Chicago convention the republicans
of the first congressional district of Virginia
placed Mr.. JOHN W. WoLTz in nomination
for congress. We accepted that action as
final so far as the republican party was
concerned, except that II was bound in
good faith to use its best endeavors to con-
summato the nomination in an election
We took 1t for granted that the republicans
of that district knew what they were about
and had given expression to the hon
est and earnest wishes and sentiments
Of the district. 1t now occurs that
there are discontented and restless spirits
in the district who seek to overturn the
action of the convention, and who desire
our aid in such movement. AT least, we
have q letter inviting our cooperation in
such work. This invitation we must
most respectfully decline, for the reason
that it is part of our duty to sustain and
not break down republican nominations
wherever we have influence. Whenever
and wherever our party puts nomination
in the field we regard it the part of good
faith to yield to it our best endeavors in
behalf of its success
The first Virginia district was given over
to the bourbons at the last congressional
election through n want of unity, harmony
and good sense among the republicans, and
it now looks as if history was to repeat
itself in the coming election. We had
hoped otherwise, but the indications are
that faction and folly still reside there to
becloud the republican prospect. Accom-
panying the invitation 10 cooperate with
the malcontents was a paper containing q
d eclaraton Of hostility aud rebellion in q
published correspondence to which names
are appended which give it some
authenticity. One of these letters, VIC
notice, alleges that the nominee of the
republicans for congress should not be
elected for the reason that he voted in the
Chicago convention for General GRANT dur.
ing the entire balloting for president, when
he was in honor bound TO vote for another
candidate. 1t will be recollected that thC
Virginia delegation was instructed by the
/ otbNV hhiNh uPpoihNSu "
vote solid for General GRANT, and its dele
CATION voted in obedience to that instruc-
ton. One of the gentlemen, who appears
in this correspondence, reprehends the
action of Mr. WoLTz in obeying the in
structions of his constituents, ant
proposes to punish him therefor
while at the same time he admits that h,
was in the district convention and voted
for Mr. WoLTZ under instructions from hi
constituents. This would seem to stamI
his present attitude with an appearance o
Inconsistency.
We leave the republicans of the frs
Virginia district to revise their own errors
if they have committed any, without on
interference If they desire to forfeit tha
district it will be very easy thing to dc
The task will not be at all difficult. On
thing, however, is patent Personal polite
will ruin any party aud becloud the bes
prospects. We are as yet unused to it, an
until we are newly educated we mus
respectfully decline entering its field, eithe
in Virginia or elsewhere.

Mr.. EDWARD ATKINSON in discussing
some of the causes of Americas prosperity
and especially the great advance in the con.
dition of workingmen in this country, states
that the cost of moving whole years sup,
ply of provisions for an adult from Chicago
to Boston is equal TO $1.25. Halfa days
wages of good carpenter in Boston will
bring to him from the prairies of the west q
whole years food supply-he is practically
next door to the Chicago graneries and the
grazing plains of Kansas. 1t is this cheap
ness of transportation which puts it in the
power of laborer of the present day and
country to live better than did the nobility
of England three hundred years ago. The
fruits of the Indies, the coffee of South
America the tea of China, the beef of Texas
the ice of Maine and the wheat of Dakota
are all near his door and at prices which
even laborer's pay will procure, The fal
in the cost Of transportation in the United
States is one of the most astonishing marks
of our progress in the last ten years.
In 1870 the average cost of moving ton
of freight from the west to the eRst wa!
nearly two cents per mile. 1t was thel
thought that the limit of cheapness hat
been reached, and such was the reply made
to all the granger legislation proposed
about that time Now the cost is abou
three.eighths of cent per toL per mile
which, however, is not remunerative, A
fiye-eighths of q cent the railroads say the,
would be entirely satisfied.
IN this connection it is worthy of note
that no considerable reduction has been ac-
complished in the rates charged by railway
for the transportation of passengers. Their
have been vast Improvements in the com
forts afforded to travellers; the ears are safer
cleaner, handsomer the speed has beel
nearly doubled within ten years; the disa
greeable changes from one road TO anothe
have been obyiated by consultations o
combinations, but the fare remains at nearl.
the same rate. We believe that railroat
men viii ere long discover that travel cal
be greatly encouraged by lower fares, ant
that there is more money in running ful
trains at low rates than by maintaining
high fares with fewer travellers. The day

IT has been announced that the republi-
can central committee of the District of
Columbia has appointed member to rep
resent the District of Columbia on the re
publican national committee, The next
inquiry is, Under what authority has this
thing been done? 1t is the prerogative OF
the national convention to make its own
national committee, and failing in this it is
difficult to see how that power can be
properly assumed by committee of this
District The impression is that the same
number of citizens outside that committee
have an equal right to meet and name an
other member of the national committee
When the District central committee called
District convention to send delegates to
the national convention it would seem that il
had exhausted its power in regard to that
body. However no harm is done, as n
highly respectable gentleman has received
the appointment, and it remains for the
national committee to decide whether oil
not it will recognize the action of our cen
trail committee. 1t is of trifling importance
any way.
