NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION.
The object OF the Committee Attained
and They Adjourn,

The committee 0f the National Bar Association
which has been IN session here adjourned yester-
day, to meet in New York February .. While nc
conclusion was reached or definite plan agreed
upon, the COMMITTEES attained the object of their
meeting here by obtaning the views of the emil
nent juristS of this city at tho reception held at
Judge Merrick's residence Thursday evening.
The justices of the Supreme Court, the leading
lawyers of Congress and OF this city were present,
and there was very general interchange of
views. In fact no other subject was discussed
during the evening When the committee
met yesterday II was ascertained that
several novel ideas had been presented,
and SO 1t was determined to formulate these ideas
into propositions, the purport of which, Judge
MeTrick said last evening. was private. The OBJ
Ject Is To allow the members to obtain the views
OF prominent jursts in the several sections of the
country represented. and also TO allow time for
further consideration. At the next meeting II Is
expected that the subject will be sufficiently d.
gesed, so that the committee can agree upon some
plan. II this does not prove 10 DO the case,
then two plans will he reported by the
committee, The members Of the committee speak
of their visit here with great satisfaction and are
Of the opinion that the general discussion OF the
subject by so many OF the most eminent jurlsts OF
the country has proved of great advantage to
them In the discharge OF the duty which the asso-
citation intrustcd to their hands. Several of the
members left last evening for their homes, and
the Others will remain over for brief visit. The

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is the lead
ing Stalwart and champion newspaper of
America in the readjustment Of politics
in the late Solid South.
1t is more largely quoted from than
any other paper in the United States.
The increase in its circulation is un-
precedented in the history Of Washing
ton newspapers.
1t contained 5S7 more advertisements
in November, 1881, than in the corre-
spending month of 1880.
1t contained 3,973 more new advertise
ments for eleven months ending Novem-
ber 30 1881, than in the corresponding
period of 1880.
1t has more readers than any paper
published at the National Capital.
1t contains all Of the news of the day,
as well as live, interesting advertisements.
On the 5th of January it will commence
the issue of its weekly, which will un-
doubtedly reach larger circulation than
any paper ever published at the national
seat of Government.

The South and the weekly Republi.


Every mail brings us most intelligent
and hopeful letters from the Southern
States, showing clearly that there is to be
a grand political upheaval in that section.
The revival of national feeling is pro-
crossing. The Bourbon Democracy do
not look for an alliance with the Repub-
lican Administration. The weather.
beaten Bourbon Republicans are aban-
doning all confidence in the influence of
Democratic Bourbons at Washington.
Delegations Of Southerners are here from
nearly all the Southern States, and men
of differing political antecedents
are comforting together for the
overthrow Of the common enemy.
The men who think they can longer keep
alive political party, based on regret at
the preservation of the Union, the aboli-
ton of slavery, and the enfranchisement
of the blacks, will gradually learn that
the present has attractions, and that Ma
tional citizenship is now valued as never
before. They will observe that North
erners are becoming trustful as they learn
that Southerners are reasonable and pa
triotic, But they will also learn that tho
old Democratic party cannot be amnes-
tied. 1t is the ghost Of the confederacy.
IL is q reminder Of trouble. 1t lags
surperhuous on the political stage.
The Northern Democracy has proven
unable to be of any use to the South.
The Southern Democracy has been of no
use to anybody. The Federal patronage
has kept the latter on its legs since 1877.
That nourishment it will hereafter lack.
The liberality of Republicans will exhibit
itself in appreciation of those old oppo-
nents who now aid in putting the Demo-
cratic party out of the way, and not by
patting Bourbons on the back.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN proposes
to commence the publication of weekly
edition on the 9Th of January. 1t hopes
with that weekly to penetrate every town
and settlement in the great South. 1t
will announce no doctrines not accept
able to all antiBourbons. 1t will be the
advocate of great party for 1884, which
shall embrace not only the Republican
party, but all others who desire TO place
the Nation above the State and
to overthrow Southern Bourbonism.
Our efforts in this direction have
not been fruitless. All Virginia comedies
that this journal was a powerful aid to
the noble leaders of Liberalism in Vir-
ginia. 1t made the North acquainted
with them and with their patriotic pur-
poses The more we can circulate our
weekly edition through the South the
more good seed we can SOW for future
political good. Restoration has fairly
commenced, To promote its progress is
now the best political work that can be
done.

rue American Company which Claims the
Gunmo Royalties fI'om Peru and chill.
The cause Of the great interest which Secretary
Blaine and some others have manifested in tie
conflict between Chill aud Peru has become X known
since me departure Of the diplomatic commission
,ast week. II Is part Of the constitution of the
Peruvian government that whoever makes an
original discovery OF any Of the counrys resources
shall be entitled 10 one.thrl OF tho profits result.
Ing from such discovery As long ago as 1888 Alex.
ander Corbet, Frenchman, discovered both the
existence and valuable application Of the
ouANo AND NITRATE DErosITs
ofthe Republic, and ia 1874 another Frenchman,
named Landerau, discovered additional guano
beds The claims Of both ofthese discoveries were
acknowledged by the Peruvian government, but
Der Of unfulhlled promises. Corbet died In poor
house In France, aud the other man became q
pennies wanderer., The claims Of these mon,
however. were acquired by what Is known as The
PERUVIAN Company corporation organized un.
der the laws OF New York. Its held that If jus.
iice had been dono TO Corbet he would have real.
ized S1OO,OOOOO0 The total amount which this
gigantic company proposes to collect, including
interest on the original claim aud the value Of the
discovery, Is 81, ,2OOOoOOoO. The legality Of the
claim has been pronounced sound by some of the
most learned lawyers in the land, and Congress
hastakon favorable view OF the case In the past.
THIS PERUVIAN COMPANY
has been very quiet in all its steps, but II has,
nevertheless, made very exhaustive examina
ton OF the title which 1t has acquired and II has
little doubt Of ultimate success in forcing the pay
ment of the immense sum. It has made a formal
demand on the representatives ut Washington and
the presidents Of the Chillan and Peruvian ro-
pubics for the release In Its favor of all custody,
control, claim, or assertion of title. The company
expects Chill 10 account for whatever g,iano she
has removed or suffered 10 DO removed from the
original deposits In Peru at any time since
January 1, 1871; also that Chill Is OK
pectod OH and after the day of no
tice to recognize and protect the
title SO long as the military forces OF Chill shall
continue therein, and for any failure of these OBJ
seryances the company will hold Chill responsible
aud rely upon the protection Of the American Gov
ernment. There will be no delay in pressing this
immense calm to an immediate issue, and II Is safe
to say that IL these claims had not been in exist
ence tho special commissioners recently appointed
by Secretary Blaine would not now be on their way
to the Peruvian capital. Some OF the individuals
interested In the success of the claim have held the
very highest official places In the American Gov.
