The National Republican League.

The Independent Republicans have
organized new party on the Re-
publican platform in Pennsylvania.
Their object is to secure an organiza-
ton of 1000 members in each county
of that State, and then to commence
operations in other States. Its Presi-
dent is William r. Wister, and
among the names of those composing
its Executive Committee is.Attorney
General Wayne MacVeagh. The
platform is as follows:
The National Republican League,
standing squareIy ON the platform of
the Republican Party agreed upon
by the. Chicago Convention of 1880,
adopts as the basis OF its future action
the following articles:
l. To purify and elevate the Re-
publican Party.
ii. To place the party machinery
in the hands of men of superior
character.
III. To stimulate the moral senti-
ment of the people in behalf of polit-
ical activity.
w. To maintain that the United
States is nation, and its government
is invested by the Constitution with
all the rights and powers necessary
for the maintenance of our national
existence, including the protection of
voters in the exercise of their politi-
cal duties.
V. That the principle heretofore
sustained blythe Republican Party of
meeting all financial obligations.
whether in the form of bonds or cur.
rency, with absolute good faith,
should be adhered to strictly, and
any effort of Cemmonwealths or
municipalities to escape by direct or
indirect means from their financial
contracts should be condemned and
opposed.
vi. The national well being re-
quires continuance of that policy of
protection to our industries which
has always been leading principle
of the Republican Party.
VII. That the worst OF the exist
ing evils of our national life, being
the results of former Democratic rule,
should be remedied by the rsstora.
ton in our local, State, and national
Governments Of the tenure Of rou.

tine officers for life or during good
behavior, with the establishment OF
pensions for superannuated officials
and merited promotion within each
department of the public service.
VIII. That the relations establish
ed Ivy the National Constitution be
tween different branches of the Gov
eminent should be scrupulously pre-
served in order to defend as well the
Executive in its duties from such
encrochments as are now being made
by portion of the Legislature, as to
protect the Legislative and Judicial
branches themselves against i'm
proper interference on the part of the
Executive or of each other.

The Victims of Hate.

The fate of southern generals, no
matter how brilliant their career dur
ing the war, who have ventured
since the peace to entertain opinions
disagreeable to their fellow citizens,
many of whom remained at home
during the conflict, is not a pleasant
one.
First we have Longstreet, sold
Ter of approved valor and superior re-
nown, who was second to Lee in the
command of the Army of Northern
Virginia. He gave his blood to his
cause. Longstreet at the close of the
war believed that the south could do
better than by following the dismal
lead of Bourbonism. From that
hour until the present he has been
denounced and renowned by the
South.
There was no more Brilliant parti-
san leader in the south than Col.
John 5. Mosby. The history of the
war shows that Lee expressed the
highest admiration for Mosby's skill,
energy and devotion. At the close
of the war Colonel Mostly ventured
to think Virginian might do as
well under republican government
as under the government of the men
who brought ruin on her fields and
disaster on her firesides. From that
hour to this Colonel Mostly has been
an outlaw in southern society
And now Malone! General Ma
homes record in the southern army is
a part of the history Of the Confeder-
acy. He began with The beginning,
he fought to the end. When the
end came it found him on the side Of
Lee, a trusted and brilliant subord-
nate. General Mahone's name Was
then and for some time after an en-
bodiment of devotion to The cause Of
the south. So long as he remained
in sympathy with the Bourbons he
was the darling Of the southern De-
mocracy. When he discovered that
possibly there was better way TO
serve Virginia than keeping her un-
der the heels of men who had done
so much to wound the old Common
wealth, he found himself an outlaw
and held up to scorn by men who
were hiding in bombproofs while he
was fighting through the Wilderness.

Postmaster General James may not
have got to the bottom yet of the star
route iniquity, but the arrest of straw
bidders in Philadelphia shows that
lie has some of the contractors en- the
ragged edge. Straw.bids are we'll
known game to let in contractors at
high figures. A man bids for mail
contract at such low figure that he
is sure to get it. When he is called
upon to give bond he has disappear
ed, and the contract agent awards it
to the next lowest responsible bidder,
who has made sure to bid high. The
other bidder was simply his "stall."
This way of doing business is an old
one, and has been SO thoroughly ex-
posed that there are express provi.
sions against it in the Revised
Statutes, under which, indeed, Black
man and Funk have been arrested.
Brady seems to have been so sure of
his position that he thought he could
afford to revive the straw-bid bust
ness. in addition to his raised contract
jobbing. The arrest of these parties
will probably lead to ether disclos-
ures. 1t shows, anyhow, that Post
master General James means bust
ness, and that he will convict for one
class of offences, if he cannot secure
point-blank evidence as 10 those of a
graver character. BdltO. Ame7ican.

The frantic appeals of the Bourbon

The frantic appeals of the Bourbon
papers In Virginia to the Democrats
not to desert to Malone show how
strongly they have become impressed
with the fear that many will take
that course. And well they may be.
The last two general elections in that
State give good ground for trepida-
ton in the Democratic ranks. In 1879
the party first split into the debt
payer and readjuster factions. The
election that year resulted in a near
ly equal division, each faction polling
about rs, 900 votes. In the Presiden-
tial election last fall the regular DEM
ocratic electoral ticket received 96, 600
votes, the Readjuster ticket $1,000
votes, and the Republican ticket 49,
900 votes. 1.-the two last named par
ties unite on a State ticket there will
be an end to Bourbon rule in Vir-
.ginia.

Maloney. Maloney expected to be
able to get the money, and promised
to give the reporter 81 900 if he would
work with him, and gave the news

bargain. Immediately after leaving
Maloney the reporter went to Alder

AN ENCOURAGING EXHIBIT
The March report of imports and ex-
ports shows balance in favor of the
United States of nearly $4,000. 900.
Instead of a falling off in the exports,
as had beer feared, they seem to be
steadily increasing, as for six years
past. The excess of exports over i'm
ports for the fiscal year ended June
30. 1876. was S79, 643. 481. In the next
year the excess was nearly double.
For the fiscal year ended June 80,
1879, the excess was S264, SCI ,666. In
the last fiscal year the excess was
$l67 ,908, 1853. which was a verv con-
siderable decrease, but for the nine
months of the present fiscal year end
ed March 80, the excess was 1924, S44,-
27S. The excess of exports over i'm
ports, including the fiscal year of 1876
to March last, inclusive, was the
enormous sum of nearly 81 200, 000,-
600. This is a magnificent showing,
and goes far to sustain the glowing
predictions of the future wealth and
prosperity of the United States

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

special Correspondence to The Republican.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., May 10, 1881.
The Republican Senators held
caucus yesterday, at which the NOM
nation of Judge Robertson was dis
cussed. Senator Conkling made a
long speech complaining of his treat
ment by the President, and asking
that, in order to soothe his wounded
feelings, the nomination of Judge
Robertson be rejected. 1t is thought
that when the time fer voting comes
only ten Republican Senators will
vote against the confirmation of
Robertson. 1t is also said that the
adoption by the caucus of the rule to
let all contested nominations go until
last, was not adopted with any inten-
ton to defeat the President, but SIM
ply as matter of convenience, and
that as soon as all the other nominal
tions are acted upon the contested
nominations will come up. Never
theless it is certain that the caucus
rule gives Senator Cenkling consid-
cradle advantage over the President.
The Chairman of the Republi" an
National Committee has issued IL
circular inviting expressions of opin-
ion from Republicans throughout the
country in regard to the best meth
DDS or rules that should be adopted
for electing delegates to the next ma
tional convention in 1884. The cir
cular recites the requirements of the
last cony ention, for the National
Committee to prescribe rules and
announce rules on this subject in
twelve months from last June, and
also narrates the preliminary action
taken by the Committee in March
last, when the whole subject was re-
ferred to a subcommittee consisting
of VIM. E. Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, Thos. G. Plat, of New York,
John M. Forbes, of Massachusetts.
John M. Martin, of Kansas, and
Chauncey J. Kelley, of Missouri.
Chairman Jewell now gives notice
that suggestions on the important
questions in vOlved are desired, and
will be received by him at Hartford,
Conn, or By any member of the sub
committee.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
yesterday morning voted to report
adversely on the nomination of Stan
ley Matthews as Associate Justice cf
the Supreme Court. The nomina
ton was reported accordingly to the
Senate IN executive session in the
afternoon. 1t is understood that the
vote in Committee on this nominal
ton as follows: Mr.. Lamar for
confirmation against confirmation.
Messrs. Edmunds, Logan, Ingalls,,
McMillen, Davis of Illinois, and
Bayard. Absent, Messrs. Conkling
aud Garland.
The President sent a message to
the Senate yesterday Withdrawing
the nomination of w. A. M. Grier,
of Pennsylvania, to be Third assist
ant Postmaster General. Mr.. Grier
having been selemnly promised the
Second Assistant Postmaster Gener-
alship by the President, refused to
take the other place, and wrote the
President a letter Of declination.
Hence the above action.

Either MalOneY's Miracles.

The pretended raising of girl from
the dead and various cases performed
by Father Maloney at Erie, Pa, have
been exploded by the investigation
OF a reporter of the Cleveland Leader.
The Bishop of Erie ana all the Cath
Ollie clergy of that city had previously
denounced him as a fraud, and Ma
Ioney in turn complained of them to
Archbishop Wood, of Philadelphia,
but as he was formerly guilty of GER
tain violations of his priestly vows,
no attention was paid to him by the
Archbishop. The raising Of Ellen
McQuillian apparently from the dead
was performed at Summit township,
and was witnessed by a number of
people who saw her lying cold and
stiff, when as Maloney called upon
God she raised 10 a sitting posture,
and made the sign of the cross. 1t
has now been ascertained that there
was collision between the girl and
the priest. He, however, had numer-
GUS believers, and was receiving
letters from all parts of the country
asking his prayers, and enclosing
money for masses. The reporter after
becoming acquainted with the priest
was asked by him to further his
plans, by spreading the news Of
miracles throughout the country.
Maloney informed the Leader repor-
ter that lady in San Francisco had
offered to give $4,000 to the Lord II

The Washington correspondent of
the N. Y. Times states that the Pres
ident is reported to have said that
his action was not prompted by I'M
kind feelings toward the New York
Senators, nor to invite contest with
the Senate oyer nominations. He
had made the nominations for New
York IN the public interests. and
with view of harmonizing and
strengthening the Republican party
in that State by recognizing fully and
fairly all the elements. There was
no issue in the nomination of Judge
Robertson to-day that did not exist
when it was presented to the Senate,
and the withdrawal of the others did
not affect that issue. The Senate
could have acted on the nomination
intslligently any day since it's pre-
sentation. He desired successfully to
carry cut his purpose to give fair
recognition to all the various ele.
ments of the Republican party in
New York and in other States, and
he felt that he would be unable to do
this II the Senate first proceeded to
act upon those Of one class. leaving
the Others subject to a contest that
might terminate In such way as to
leave him at disadvantage and
without resources to provide for new
complications. He therefore with
drew the FIVE nominations referred to
in order that should Judge Robert.
