/ Washington, ID. c., July 1.-THE
policy and evident purpose o
the so-called Republican party ha,
been TO strengthen the extreme oppo
sition party of the South. IL build'
IN the organization there which 1t cal
fight most effectively here. II consoli
dates and gives potency To those In the
I South against whom 1t may most sue
/ cessiully consolidate the North. Key

| Woodcock, the Union soldier recently
elected from the internal revenue ser.
wee at Nashville, has been supplanted
by Hughes, furious secessionist OF
ls6g-'6l. John Hancock, nativ,
Southern Unionist, who left
Texas and went into the Union
service, was pursued, as candi-
date for congress, by the tools of the
administration with unparalleled fc-
rocity. With them the original seces-
sionists co-operated, and by this UNI
natural coalition Russell, conserva.
tive native Republican, was pIosccut-
ed, and by Hancock, now elected, has
been twice beaten Tor congress. Ex-
United States Senator Alcorn, q South
Carolinian by birth, but always Il
Wing and Unionionist and Republic
can since 1865, is only too con-
servati,e and too decent Il gen
tleman TO be approached by the
masters of the now dominant PARTY,
Houk is lis proper impeisonation. He
is the beau ideal of Southern party
leaders. 70 him has been conceded
the sole privilege of distributing offices
and public plumber in Tennessee. He
has corrupted n once respectable, hon
est old Wing district, and is its per-
feet master. He urges the payment of
claims and pensions from single
county amounting to greater sum
than Was the taxable wealth of this
county when slavery existed. He is
thus claim agent, directly or indi-
rectly, for two-thirds of the people
he represents, and each of his clients
supports him that he may have
protracted opportunities for the collec-
lion of their claims. Public morals
are vitiated, all decency is violated
and perjury is MADE commonplace
through the shameless depravity of II
party which has polluted popular and
Official Legislative morals, until the
people themselves in mauy localities
are us thoroughly depraved as their
worst representatives.
