Closing I'm the Ranks.

The November elections very clearly dem
onstratod the fact that there are republicans
enough in this country for one party, but not
enough for two parties. Whenever factional
quarrels and side issues arc put aside and
united contest made victory is assured The
democrats have boon counting much on tho
divisions in tho republican party, and demo-
cratic hopes of success in 1884 have been
republicans would not be abo to unto. The
rocapturc Of tho great states of New York,
Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts,, which last
year returned majorities for tho opposition,
mainly on account of the divisions in the
ranks of the republican party, has taken from
the democracy almost tho last ray of hope
The republican party is q party of principle
and intelligence. Its members are read
ing and thinking men who do not
blindly follow leaders. Differences
are intolligently discussed and when posi-.
bio, adjusted. Because of this intelligence,
when great national contest comes, and it
is a question between tho republican party
with its historyTf great deeds done, and its
pledged devotion to all that will protect and
advance tho best interests of the government
as against the democratic party, with
its damning past, its notoriously bad
methods Of tho present, and its
uncertain position on all questions in which
is involved the future prosperity of tho
country, tho republican party will be found
united. The ambitions of no ono man, tho
preiudices of no faction, will stand in the way
of perfect and complete harmony. From
this tmo on it should be the duty of all
republicans to plan and work to the end that
the party will go into the next great contest
with solidly united ranks. Such d course
means victory.

The District Commissioners and the Lot
tcries,

The District Commissioners and the Lot
tcries.
The New York Times is just now greving
its hypocritical soul over tho fact that lot
terry advertisements appear in the columns
of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,. In an
editorial reference to the letter of the dis
trict commissioners to the postmaster general
the Times takes occasion to lay the whole lot.
terry wickedness at Mr.. Hatton's door, Mr..
Hatton has no more control over the busi-
than Mr.. George Jones has over the
editorial columns of tho New York Times,
which have been daily filled the past two
months with attacks on Mahoneism, while it
is we'll known fact that Mr.. Jones sent q
check for $500 in 1881 to the managers of the
Malone campaign.
If it will relieve the mind of the Times,
however, TIE REPUBLICAN has no hestancy
in saying that, in its opinion, the letter of the
district commissioners was an extremely
silly document, The postmaster general
probably knows the law quito as we'll as
the triumvirate who are charged with the
government of this district. If in the opinion
of the commissioners more law is needed for
the suppression of tho lottery business in this
district and for the protection of government
clerks over whom the commissioners seem to
have assumed especial charge, they should, as
tho governing officers of the district, ask con-
gress to pass such law, and not attempt to
throw the responsibility ON tho head of the
postotlico department Just why the COM
missioners should be SO exercised about
the disposition department clerks make
of their money THE REPUBLICAN can.
not imagine. Why did they stop
with department clerks and the lottery
business, Why did they not include senators,
members Of congress, district commissioners
department officers and employees, and grain
gambling and stock jobbing, pool selling, and
all other kinds of doubtful business In which
chance is involved and in which mon are
liliely to invest money with but slight chance
of return2 The average department clerk is
quito as intelligent as the average district
commissioner, and they no more require the
protection of the law than any other class OF
men.
In conclusion, and for the benefit Of the
New York Times, The REPUBLICAN will say
that tho postmaster general knows quito a:

Frauds Upon Bounty Clnimnnts.
pen,,er TrjL,,pe

The report of Second Auditor Ferris, and
its considerations by Attorney General
Brewster, have led to another branch of in
vestigations connected with the swindling of
soldiers by claim agents. Tho district attor-
ney has discovered that number OF
firms hero have issued circulars sUlic-
itng claims for additional bounty, and
asking and accepting fees in advance for a
pretended prosecution of this class of claims,
Tho fraud arises from the fact that the
time for filing these claims expired under the
law June 30, 1880 Since that time the sec
ond auditor has not received them. The
practice of the firms now found to be engaged
in this business has been to accept these
cases, take the fee and stock the applications
away in their offices
If those who have placed claims for addi-
tional bounty In the hands Of any claim
agent since July /, 1880, will send the par
ticulars and the amounts paid in fees to Dis

Forciun Fortune IIunters.

We would earnestly and afIoctionatoly urge
Miss Robccca Williams, of Baltimore, to take
the advice of Rip Van Wrinkle in regard to
Mr.. Herbert, NJ. P.--givo him cold potato
and let him go. II soems however, as il
warnings against the dangers Of American
girls marrying foreigners are more futile the
moro they are needed. In this case young
lady we'll connectod--she is u cousin of Col.
Bonaparto's mother, who was Miss Susan
Williams, of Baltimore--with fortune in
against foreigners of all nationalitics; for in
spite of the superlatiye stuff they talk about
the beauty and attractivcness of American
women, foreigners arc perfectly well able to
withstand them unless they can limo their
pockets with tho American girls money.
1t is true rich girl is liable to become
prey to an American fortune hunter but, girls,
tako THE REPUBLICANS word for 1t, an
American fortune hunter is better than
foreign fortune hunter. Tho American man
will ut least treat you decently, and the
l
80 much higher in this country than in Eu-
rope that you will stand IL better chance of
happiness with the American. The wretch
ednoss of great proportion Of these mar
riagos is from the very fact that what for
oigncrs call being good husband is what
American women would call being regular
hrut nj ri IIEy
for the liberty in money matters, the digni-
fed position in her own house which she has
seen her mother enjoy. She won't get this
from any but an American man. One radical
point of difference is noticeable between
American men and all foreigners, especially
Englishmen. Not only does an American
woman handle much more of her hus-
bands income than what is merely neces-
sary for her own personal expenses, but the
tendency in American households is rather
to shift responsibilities upon the mistress.
Tho man whose wife will audit tho house
hold accounts, who will engage the servants,
keep an eye on the coal man, tho gas man,
the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick
maker congratulates himself; the man whose
wife leaves all this to her husband is regarded
as an object of comm iseration. But an
Englishman would as soon think of giving up
the magma charta or the bill of rights US to
allow the smallest job. of this household au-
Tnority to pass from his own hands. Either
he must do it himself, or, if he is u man of
wealth, another man, accountable to the
master, must do it. He does not mind the
trouble; he is u tyrant at heart; he knows
no more of that excessive respect for the
privileges of women, which is the character
istic of American mon, than he does about
building railway to tho moon. 1t
would be breaking his moral and
mental backbone to allow that house
hold supremacy which American women
naturally expect. On tho whole, if
Mr.. Herbert, NJ. r., mover puts in an appear
ance, Miss Williams may be congratulated
In tho six weeks during which timo the
doctors say she must not move she will have
time to think over Mr.. Herbert. NJ. p, his
divorce, and other unpleasant particulars
about him. and she will be wise if she con-
cludcs to let Mr.. Herbert, NJ. p, slide.

Tar and Feathers as n Democratic Argu.

Mr.. F. A. Burr, correspondent of the Phila-
dclphia Press, Immediately after the Danvilo
riot, wrote q truthful account of the atrocious
affair to that journal. In commenting on his
letter and the Press editorial reference to tho
same the Richmond papers manifest q spirit
scarcely less commondabe than that which
originated and carried to bloody end the
riot at Danville. Tho Richmond Dispatch, in
commenting on tho editorial article in tho
Press, said:

afford to pass itNyithout notice were it not supple
