The War and the Bloody shirt.

There are two catchwords of which
Democratic orators never tire. These are
that " the war is over" and that the Re-
publicans are still Haunting the bloody
shirt" If man is killed for being a Re-
publican land thousands have been killed
in the South for no other reason) any
mention of the crime is met with
the stereotyped reply that "the
war is over" Southern Bourbons
appear really to think that they
are not to be restrained from anything
but war. The war having ended in 1865,
they do not understand why the active
and uncomfortable young men should be
complained of for indulging in their in
nocent amusements of buil-dozing ne
groes or assassinating white Radicals.
The war is over; why rake up the old
issues? Why may not barbarism exist
and thugs thrive so long as the war is
over? If the proofs are brought-the
dead body among them-the true Bour-
bon turns away in disgust and asks if you
will never cease Haunting the bloody
shirt"
Now, it is admitted that the Democracy
of the South were as sparing of life as the

WASHINGTON, D. C, APRIL I, 1881.
Population Of The National Capital. 100000.

THE unprecedented increase of circula-
ton of The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has
necessitated an entire change in the car
rier system, about which there have been
SO many complaints recently. Un-
doubtedly in the putting on of new car
riers to deliver the many thousand copies
of our daily edition numerous omis-
sions, delays, and Irregularities will oc-
cur for day or SO; but we assure our
subscribers that the new system will work
much more satisfactorily than heretofore,
as we have largely increased the car
ner force. We beg indulgence for a
brief period, and request that all COM
plants be made prompt and direct to the
business office, and all omissions will be
promptly corrected and further disap-
pointments prevented. THE REPUBLICAN
proposes to be as efficient under its new
management in the matter of prompt de-
livery to its subscribers as it is bright,
spicy, and interesting in its varied con-
tents

Some sfention OF Wade Hampton.


CULPEPER,, Va, March 31.-Be SO kind
as to inform me whether the Senator Hampton
who talks so virtuously about bribery and cor
ruption" can be the same man who sold out Tilden
and the Democratic party in 1876 TO secure his
position as Governor of South Carolina, and who
in 1880 made speech in Staunton that he tried
hard to wriggle out of by denial until he was
convicted by the testimony of his friends, and yet
at later day wrote foolish bull-dozng letter to
Secretary Sherman from charlottesville, Va, in
forming h i'm where he was to be found and then,

If this be the same man, then let him bark on with
the rest of the pack at his masters heels-he can
do no harm. Thank God, Virginia has once again
a Senator as of old, who has brains and nerve
sufficient 10 meet an army composed of such as
old ]. Brown and the like. The assault of such
cattle only endear him all the more to the people
of Virginia, and when they are dead, rotten, and
forgotten, Malone will live fresh in the memory
of the American people as one of the noblest
statesmen, heroes, and patriots America ever gave
birth to. A VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT.

The District NIarshalship.

The report of the situation concerning
the District marshalship in yesterdays
REPUBLICAN was given as the news of the
day only, and not to disparage Mr.. Doug
lass. The Republicans of the United
States honor and esteem that illustrious
representative of his race, and his great
services in latter days, as well as his sac
rificesin in former times, entitle him to the
highest consideration. We hope he will
be continued in the marshalship, unless
a place more desirable to him shall be
designated.

circumstances would permit. The Mis-
sissippi plan," so successfully adopted in
that State, and SO successfully followed
in other States, was based upon the un-
lawful taking of human life rather as
preventive of than a punishment for
voting the Republican ticket. 1t
has been supposed by many that the
young men" went out cunning for
"niggers at all times, and killed as
many of them as they could. This is an
error, and does injustice not only to
those who managed the job, but those
who profted by it. The real truth isthat
the plan was to kill enough negroes be-
fore election times to show the race that
they must not fool around" exercising
their political rights. The massacres
were all timed well, and served their pur-
pose. Possibly half the number of
murders might have served the
purpose, but it is not easy to
prove that. 1t is certain that the killing
had the desired effect, and that a contin-
uance of it has not of late been necessary
to Democratic success. The capture of
the Southern State governments gave the
ballot-boxes and the counting OF the
votes into the control of the Bourbon
Democracy. From that time on the kill
ing became unnecessary. 1t mattered
not who voted, or in what numbers
party came to the polls, the counting was
the thing. Occasionally, however, some
aggressive negroes insist ON q show, as
they did in Louisiana and South Carolina
in 1878. Then comes killing and maim-
ing, any allusion to which is of course
" Haunting the bloody shirt"
And now the latest expiring groan of
the old Bourbon party, as it struggles
against death, is that the war is over"
and it ought not to be assailed for what it
has done since the end of that war.
Dickens represented "Old Fagin" as
looking through the prison bars all
the night preceding the day of
his execution and begging those
within the sound of his voice
not to be too hard on him. And so this
old offender, the Democratic party, means
at every lash it receives for present
crimes, that the warts over, and whines
and snivels about the bloody shirt when
confronted with the proofs of the
atrocities by which the South has been
made solid since 1872. Cain, too, depre-
Gated the Haunting of the bloody shirt!

" FALL INLINE.u
what a Leading Colored Man OF Virginia
Has TO Say.

To the Editor Of The Republican,:
In my recent letter to the Richmond
Whig meaSS to explain my position in the col
ored convention held in Petersburg, Va, March IA.
also tried to define my position in regard 10 the
report Of the committee on address and resoiuuons
bnt failed to give my reasons for such approVaI,
which ] desire to do in your paper. Now, Mr.
Editor, you shall have reason number one: For
fifteen years we have experienced continual de-
feat party trying to succeed and only with one
exception, and that was when the contest was be-
tween General Grant and Horace Greeley for
the Presidency. Prior to 1876 We had
no capitation tax law pre- requisite to voting,
and with q much larger white Republican vote
than we now have. With this advantage in q
Presidential election we were unable to procure
the adoption Of the law, under which we are now
required TO pay 81 before we can vote; thus we are
deprived of thirty-fye or forty thousand eolored
votes. besides the falling off of the white Republi-
cans vote. The committee on address and reso-
lutions ofthe Petersburg convention set forth IN
their address the inability of the Republicans 10
accomplish anything as party. However deplor-
able this may be- it is nevertheless true. The COM
mittee respectfully recommend the eolOred men to
cast their lot with those who have pledged them
selves to do for US politically what S we are are
is to repeal the eapitation tax law as
precedent to voting, the whipping post law, and
Otner laws ctIu8iiy ODnOXIOuS 1HlS
tainly cannot be departure from the principlesof
the Republican party, as some would have il: but,
the other hand it is the only correct way of car
rying them out under the present circumstances.
The eoiored men do not mean, as charged by some,
to array themselves against the whites. Such
charge is unyarranted and must fall TO the ground
from the fact that the colored men offer their
support to $1,000 white men as meansnf securing
equal rights before the law in common with other
citizens and TO secure protection at he ballot box
that we may have q free ballot and
fair count and thereby bring about a
more friendly relation between the white
and the eolared people of this State We are
sorry to be compelled 70 differ with some Of our
Republican friends; however, we try to do so re-
spectfully. deem it to be proper 70 remind them
that ifs after defeat is no longer consoiing
provision for the colored voters, who are always
the injured party. Therefore, we most earnestly
appeal to our friends, of all shades. who want to
build up a party In Virginia that win accord to
every man his equal civil and political rights be-
fore the lew, to fall in line, for justice demands
it. We are politically sick; We have prescribed
for ourselves to. no advantage. Now, then, let
US try another remedy. Respectfully. DC,

THE suicide of another of the inmates
Ofthe Soldiers Home suggests the thought
that there must be disadvantages con-
nected with the life of comparative idle
ness to which these veterans are assigned.
1t has often been observed that men re-
firing from active life TO what they fancy
is to be the easy and comfortable leisure
of old age find that they have made
mistake, and that discomfort and broken
health is speedy result. The fact is,
occupation is necessary with most people
TO cOntentment. In the case of these
soldiers the time they have to spare in
purposelesS thought and talk with each
other only makes more vivid the condi-
tion of dependence and homelessness to
which they have come in their old age.
Their fellows have lost the buoyancy and
hope of younger years, and they all natu-
rally fall TO grumbling. and the condi-
tions follow which make despondencv
Rllnsst Il necessity. The spirit lef! in the
man chafes under this restraint Some
fiHd relief in occasional sprees; others, it
seems, in suicide. Leisure is mistaken

part of office-seekers for Department posi-
tions as to the lack of candor displayed
by officials supposed to control appoint
ments. The applicants say that they
keep them dangling, hoping. fearing, and
on the ragged edge of expectation, or de-
spair generally, without uttering the posi-
tive no or the charming yes which would
relieve their feelings. Many are on ex-
penses in the meantime, and vibrate in
a most uncomfortable state between an
increasing board bill and decreasing
prospect of employment. 1t would be
