Extend the Line of Ilnrch.

10 INC Edt5CT y Inc IsepuostcGR:
The inaugural procession is, to the mind
of the writer the principal feature that will attract
the thousands of visitors to our city Oh the 4th of
March next. General Sherman, according to his
autograph memorandum, as published in one of
this mornings papers, says that is estimated that
there will be 5000 strangers in this city who
come expecting to see and hear, and this number
is exclusive of the $1,000 armed men, The last
census places the population of this city at about
10000 and, inasmuch as it is contemplated that
the pageant on this occasion will surpass any
thing that has ever taken place here it naturally
follows that there will be proportionately larger
number of our own citizens who will be anxious 10
see it than on ordinary occasions Furthermore
the day being legal holiday, many will be added
to the hosts of spectators who, were such not the
case, would be otherwise employed, and conSe-
quently would not be present 10 swell the numbers
of lookers-on. According to the auto
graph memorandum hereipebfore alluded to-
the procession win not occur until after
the Inauguration at the Capitol, and, according TO
the programme OF the grand marshal, will, as the
writer understands it, be confined in the main to
Pennsylvania avenue, between First and Seven
teenth streets. Ofthis space twenty-five PAGES. or
siXty-two and half feet is to be reserved for the
marching column, exclusive of the space REQUIRED
for the third and fourth divisions between First and
Fifteenth streets. The residue is 10 be left for
spectators. In view of these facts. If the writer is
correct regarding the programme as laid down. il
Will be impossible for thousands of those who de-
sire 10 witness the procession TO do So and for the
very simple reason that the space allotted on
pennsylvania avenue between First and Seven
teenth streets Will not accommodate them. The
writer is of the opinion that for the good name
OF our city every facility shonld be accorded our
guests, as well as our own citizens, to view the
grand demonstration, and that the line of march

Is This the same Judge? ?

To the Editor Of The Republican:
Is the Judge Osborne Lochrane, of
Georgia, mentioned in the Sunday Capital as pos
sible member of General Garfield's Cabinet, the
same Judge Lochrane who advocated Grants NOM
ination at Chicago, but Topped over" into the
Democratic ranks after the Cincinnati convention,
announcing his change of heart in speech from
the balcony of the Imperial Hotel in this city on
the evening of the day of Hancock's nomination?
You may remember that the unterrifed and then
very jubilant Democracy of the District under the
leadership of the veteran Norris gorified on that
evening, and our Georgia friend was allowed the
TO the Democratic faith and his intention to sup
port the Democratic nominee. Now the conun-
drum is: If this be the gentleman who is
pressed for a Cabinet appointment at this time,
when did he return to the Republican fold? And,
even If he has fOrsaken the error of his ways what
claim has he in view of his action in the past, to
consideration at the hands of a StalWart Republi

should extend over such space as would admit of
It. He suggests that, instead of the column break
ing Immediately after passing the reviewing stand
1t proceed via Seventeenth street and Connec-
tleut avenue to K street, and thence to Seventh
street, where the break could be effected with
out IN the least interfering with that portion OF the
column passing in review. Many of our
own citizens who have for years been accustomed
TO see the genial face of General Garfield, and VINO
Will have ample opportunity to behold it again
after he shall have been inducted into the preSl-
Dental chair, as well as to view the decorations,
would II the line of march should be extended,
prefer leaving to our guests the of the Avenue
and at the same time add to their own comfort by
avoiding the jam. 1t is true that all the prepara-
tlons have been made upon the Avenue, ana IL Is
also true that thousands in our midst are not and
will not be in condition to psy from s. to SO for
window, nor from fifty cents to 81 each for seats
for themselves and families, .and insofar as the
children are concerned, what mother would take
her children on the Avenue excepting those pro-
being crushed or smothered in the surging mass,
II they knew that the procession could be viewed
from other points less likely to be so crowded? BY
an extension of the line of march other than that
as laid down by the grand marshal the Avenue
would TO a great extent be relieved of that pres
sure which otherwise, in the humble opinion OF
the writer, viii make confusion worse confounded,
and also compel visitors to leave the city with the
impression that, although they had eyes,, they
saw not, and ears had they, but they heard not,
insofar as it related TO what they had come mere
erpectiRg TO see and hear. WASHINGTONlAN.

Eya,as and tt,e Ionroe Doctr1ue.

Representative Newberry says it looks
to him as if Secretary Evarts has succeeded
in dominating the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee of the House, as the latter has
not seen fit to take any action with ref
erence to the matter of the fraudulently- -manipu-
lated trade statistics concerning the Canadian fish
cries. which formed thesbasis of the five and one
half million dollars award paid by the United
States. This suspicioR' is reasonable, because Mr.
Eyarts has foied his chief Mr.. Hayes, in more than
one of the latter's purposes among which may pos
sibly be numbered the establishment of United
States naval stations on the ISthmus of Panama. as
the first step in securing foothod on the isthmus
as ameans of enforcing the Monroe Doctrine. Mr.
Evarts is alleged to be attorney of the Panama
Railway Company, and, as such, is charged with
having obstructed the advancement of United
States interests on the American Isthmus.-Detroh

The soufh and the War.

On all the questions involved in the results OF
the war the South has nothing to apologize for.
nothing to defend, nothing to be defiant about
Atlanta Constitution.
This paragraph is quoted in the Demo-
cratic papers, and seems to be just the
taw. This peculiar unwillingness to la
ment bad acts and this noble scorn of
anything like an apology is very COM
mon trait in humanity. Fortunately,
however, in individuals it is generally
confined to those in jails and lunatic
asylums There is no such stickler for

He Wants His Say.

| To the Editor Of The ReDatLieaR:
Permit me to enter my humble protest
against so much of General Shcrmans order as re-
quires members of the Boys in Blue. Grand Army,
and other civic organizations to take positions
a curbstone guard or in the rear of the regular
army on the 4th pr0ximo. l fear that the Cen
erals order may be misconstrued by the thousands
who will visit our city during the inaugural cere-
monies, and my object in addressing you this note
is with view to having the same rescnded. The
Boys in Blue and other loyal civic organizations
will, in my opinion refuse to be commanded by
Teb general dOOrkeeer for they have in their ranks
enough ex- Union generals who are competent TO
command them. /, for One positively refuse to be
commanded by any rebel general as long as there
is living one loyal Union soldier. Very respect

What folly it would be to say that the
| Virginia Republicans must not aid in
Bourbon defeat in any but party COM
pany Such a course would be treason to
! the laws, which Republicans alone are not
strong enough to enforce; it would be
treason to the Nation, now severed by a
barbarous force in the South, making
| that section solid, and therefore a sepa-
rate people it would be treason to human
nature, which cries aloud for cessation
| of wrong toward the black branch of the
human family; and it would be treason
! against God, who commands justice, and
who Furnishes nations for their crimes.
This declaration of renewed war upon
the blacks in Virginia, and the valiant
acceptance by the Readjusters of the issue
thus offered, makes the latter the cham
pions of law and fair play. If any Re.
publican shall seek to drive them away
from the right side of this struggle, or to
imperil the fight by dividing the negro's
friends in the coming State contest in
Virginia, he will be visibly aiding the
Bourbons, and ought to be held as their
creature anda ally. He should be eXecrated
bywhite Republicans at the North, as he
would be by the black men of Virginia.
He cannot remand the blacks to political
slavery and actual disfranchisement upon
any pharisaical pretense of believing the
Bourbons to be any better debt-payers
than the Readjusters, for the "Conserva-
tive" address, in treating of that ques-
ton and of the attitude of its party upon
it, says:
When that party Jcgs united, it announced in its
State convention of 1877 that whatever scheme of
adjustment might be adopted il should be soor-
dered as to add nothing to the burdens of thcx peo-
pleby way of increased fGra'ioR and doubtless that
resolve Will be adhered 20 when again shall speak
with united voice
How can a government that runs be-
hind 81, 100000 year, as Virginia does,
pay debts without increased taxation or
a readjustment?
The Bourbons can be defeated by a
united effort of their opponents. The
Readjusters cannot be brought into the
Republican party organization. The Re-
publican masses and all but few of the
leaders desire to act with the Readjusters
A few men will not be allowed to defeat
a policy by which alone the Solid South
can be broken. We hope they will have

So far Mr.. Everets political principles are con-
cerned il is only necessary to state that three years
ago he was elected a Republican TO represent
his district in the State senate, and in the last
campaign he was q Republican elector for his
State at large, having been nominated by the Re
publican State convention held at Raleigh He
canvaSsed side by side with Judge Buxton, the
Republican candidate for Governor, and made one
of the best and most brilliant canvasSes ever wit
messed in North Carolina. He is a graduate of
Trinity College, young lawyer of marked ability,
loved and respected by all classes in the com
munity where he lives, and his appointment TO the
collectorship for his district meets the approval of
every man in the district whose wish is an honest
and faithful collection of the revenue.

A Solid South War-Cry.

| The Bombon-Democratic Funder-Con-
servative, negotiating State Central
Committee of the State of Virginia has
issued an address to the Democrats of
that State, which, for malice, pig-headed
perverseness, and general wickedness,
overtops all previous utterances of the
faction which has been left behind by
the march of events.
1t calls piteously upon the Readjusters
of Democratic antecedents to return to
the faction of hate, and make one last
superhuman effort to whip the nineteenth
century. 1t passionately pleads with
those independent spirits to stife their
patriotic instincts, which have carried
them forward to high plane of practical
politics in harmony with the re-
suits of the civil war, and to grovel
with its authors in the Gehenna where
Conservative swine are feeding on the
decaying remains of dead issues. 1t ap-
peals to the fearful passions which car
ried us through hell of war, and seeks
to revive the antagonisms which are
dddplStl " Al vi VA oii1y- ~ -
the last throe of men possessed OF devils,
crying to the power that would exor-
else those devils: Wherefore persecutest
thou me before my timer" 1t sounds
war-cry against race to whose pro-
lection the Nation is pledged, and de-
fies the Constitution and laws, to main
which they ought to know the Readjust-
ers of Virginia are as determined as are
the Republicans themselves. To make
plain what we have said, we need quote
but few lines from this long manifesto,
dipped, as it is, alternately in vitriol and
honey.
This Conservative address says:
Higher in our Judgment, than any other issue
that can be presented TO our people is the preser
walton of their civilization and THE MAINTENANCE
OF WHITE SUPREMACY IN THEIR GOVERNMENT;
this is the life of the State; first duty all else
is secondary to it. To secure it for ourselves, 10
transmit it to children is the sovereign service
imposed upon us by time and circumstances.
This must be saved, whatever is lost; and TO res
cue it and plant it on enduring foundation is an
obligation that mounts high above the domain of
party politics and demands of us every sacrifice.
