Some Mistakes of Both.

~ tte L-tHof " 4hc ItluOsttun
Several times in my newspaper expert
ence L have felt that L wanted to start little
graveyard and fill it full of printers but never
was this desire quite so strong this morning on
reading my article in THE REPUBLICAN, on army
recollectiOnS, and War Times in Chattanooga" ,"
The compositor who Z" set up" part of the article
must have been taken very dry all at once and gone
out for drink, and returning instead OF finish
ing the sentence which he was at work on, COM
menced on another, which he probably thought
would do Just as we'll and perhaps it did for him.
though it made material difference to the writer
and played such havoc with the sense As if to en-
phasize the error, a sub-head on another subject
comes in between the unfinished sentence and the
following one: and the effect is to mix up Presi-
dent Garfield and General Hazan as Buttercup did
the babies, till their most intimate friends could
not possibly tell them apart.
am the more surprised atSuch an error because
the typographical work on THE REPUBLICAN is rs
rule exceptionally good. and although l know
that accidents will happen in the best regulated
newspaper Offices still, / never am willing to be
the writer to whom they happen: therefore thirst
with unquenchable thirst after the blood of the
blood of the printer; long start a grave yard,
and pant to furnish printers copses with which to
people it. Yours on the war path. JESSIE.

Senator Voorhees, did not shed any
blood in the cause of his Southern friends during

late day he will take the field in defense of The
Lost Cause. BOSOM Trareller (Rcp)
William H. English has been heard
from, and Bourbon like, is very hopeful of the fu-
ture of his party. Indeed he says that the party
is in far better condition to-day than it was forty
years ago, and is not likely either to die or dis
band.
If the President did not begin by con-
sulting his Cabinet officers before making appoint
ments in their respective Departments he cannot
turn over new leaf any too soon. The general inn
preston is that this is what he has Cabinet officers
for, among other things.-Boston Herald.

Henry Watterson tells the Democratic

Concerning Carpet-Ba pgers

rience with contempt and avoidance.
classed as earpet-baggers, and set down as
enemies of the native people. The re-
suit is that the tide Of emigration which
is sweeping toward this country passes
.by the garden-land, with all its rich op-
po1tunities, and goes westward to a. re-
mote country and rigorous climate
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1881-04-05

1t is important that the people should
| understand that in the Senate the pre-
vious question cannot be moved, nor the
main question ordered put, as can be
done in the House of Representatives.
In the interest of free and full debate
the Senate has always refused to provide
for thus closing debate and dilatory mo-
tions. This cannot now be changed, for
action on any proposed new rule
on the subject would be delayed
by the same tactics as those
which are now causing the deadlock.
After month or two Of minority OBJ
struction the people of the country will
begin to inquire why the majority can
not rule. Perhaps sixteen Bourbons
may be found in the Senate who are
wholly insensible to public opinion, and
who will not surrender to the majority.
If so, the best way to overthrow
Bourbon power is for the majority to
compel them to show their mulishness,
and next year will see Pharaoh's army
dispersed, and the new South will send
Senators to take the places in 1888 of
some of the following whose terms will
then expire Morgan of Alabama, Gar
land of Arkansas, Salisbury of Delaware,
Hill of Georgia, Beck of Kentucky, Lamar
of Mississippi, Ransom of North Caro-
lima, Butler of South Carolina, Har-
ris of Tennessee, Coke Of Texas, John
ston of Virginia, and Davis of West Vir-
ginia. All these Senators are but mortal.
and if they believe they can defiantly in
augurate new style of opposition to the
Government Of the United States, and
still maintain themselves in some of the
States, the people of which they must
please or be defeated, then we think they
have failed TO read the handwriting on
the wall. If their hope is to defeat
the friends Of the Government in Viz
ginia by such policy, then is the
mole less blind than they. They
will swell the ranks of the Readjusters.
for Bourbonism is weakened by every
new outrage demanded at the hands of
It's adherents. The summer cannot be
better employed than in compelling the |
Bourbon party to give the people the
final proyocation which is to consign if |
to the tomb which it has cheated too long. |

Your position upon Virginia politics
meets with general acquiescence and almost
unanimous approval among Republicans have
long been of the opinion that the hope of yir-
gina lies in the direction of combination of Re-
publcans, and that liberal portion of the heretofore
Democratic element known as Readjusters Such
a combination Will be effected this year upon some
practical and honorable basis if General Malone is
the sagaeous leader we believe him TO be- and ifthe
Republican leaders at the National Capital follow
the sound advice of THE REPUBLICAN upon politi-
cal affairs in this State. To effect such combina-
ton, would suggest tlfe nomination in each As
sembiy district of the man vino could secure the
largest Readuster vote without reference TO his an
tecedents or former political bias. To nominate
straight Republican ticket in the State at this
time would plant the BouTbons firmly in power
here for another decade, bankrupt the State and
eonsign the Republicans to a hopeless political
condition, with at least fourth oftheir number
practically disfranchised by the oppressive capita
ton tax and felony LAWS and amendments devised
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1881-04-05

for that purpose by the Bourbon Democrats. To
secure permanent relief from the operation OF
these odious amendments. and from their present
condition of political bondage the Republicans OF
this part of the State will willingly operate with
the Readjusters upon any tair and honorable basis
By so doing throughout the State sweeping VIC
tory can be secured and the Bourbons permanently
reegated to political obseuriy have no fears but
what such victorious party will treat fairly the
creditors of the State upon some uniform basis,
and the revenues of the State will be properly ap
Piled The Readjusters, on their part, need only
the pluck, manliness, and moral courage of their
great leader in the Senate of the United States TO
enable them share in the fruits of such victory
over their Funder antagonists. They must invite
and encourage Republican assistance and sup
port, instead of repelling it. They must sustain
General Malone in cooperating with the admin
istration of General Garfield in so far as he may
decide that that is the course demanded of him by
wisdom, prudence, and political sagacity. His
followers must be instiled with the moral courage
and sagacity of their leader, and not throw away
the victory which they can only achieve by the
assistance of Republican allies. L will only add
at this time that have freely spoken and promul-
gated these views for months past, and they pre-
dominate among anti -BourbOns in this part OF the
First Congressional District.

To the Editor of The Republican

1 attended Forepaugh's circus last
night. More people were in the tent than it would
hold. More tickets were sold than the seat
ing capacity of the tent. 1t was confusion worse
confounded in seating the spectators, and people
were allowed to stand up all the tent in front
of those having seats thus obstructing their view
Mr.. FOrepaugh should hire help enough to keep
order in his show. which is good one, and Major

OF all cities in the country what is
known as the French fat system of

those seeking rooms are evident, and the
profit to the owners of buildings erected
for the purpose of furnishing such ac-
commodations has been demonstrated in
more than one instance. We confidently
expect to see a number of buildings
erected for this purpose in the near fu-

THE REPUBLICAN has yielded its most
earnest support to the administration in
all things except the nomination of a
collector of the port of New York. The
court butterflies and funkies are much
distressed because upon that subject we
have an opinion of our own. They need
not fear Us. Independence is not catch
ing. We hope to be supporting the Presi-
dent long after sycophants who now
crawl around him and snarl at us are
swapping at him because they got no
bones. But honest support can only be
based on honest approval and honest
criticism.

The long dispute over the question as
to whether or not Edgar A. Poe was a
dissipated man has new light thrown
upon it in letter published in the Balti-
more american yesterday. The letter is
Poe's own, and is said to have been found
among the papers of an editor to whose
magazine Pee contributed. 1t bears in
ternal evidence of having been written
by the poet, and in it he denied with
vehemen'e the charges made against him,
and claimed that his habits were as far
removed from intemperance as day from
night.

For Mr.. Forepaugh 10 Read.


Mr.. Forepaugh may be an able man
ager, but he certainly knows nothing about seat
ing crowd of people. The scenes around the
main entrance of the circus tent last night were
disgraceful. Ladies and children were almost
crushed to death by crowds of hoodlums black
and white, and the pushing, hauling, and shout
ing resembled Pandemonium itself, Mr. Fore
paugh should remedy this, and see that he has
help enough to have his patrons treated decently
