National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-08-22

We notice that tho report of Special
Agent Simpson in the Bamberg affair
gives great satisfaction to tho Charleston
News and Courier This Is not surprising.
Mr. Simpson adopted the theory that had
been claborately worked up by the corre-
spondents OF that journal, namely, that
the attack on Postmaster Robinson was
instigated by Postmaster Nix. The case
against Nix is thus stated by the NeipS
and Courier:
II Is well known that there Is sort OF u feud
between Postmaster Robinson and Fred Nix
IL rival republican leader, who is postmaster
ut Blackvillc.
This is all that the NGlOs and Courier
can say in support Of the charge that Nix
was concerned in tho attack. BY the
way, tho organ Of tho South Carolina de-
mocracy and tho ready apologist of the
South Carolina kukluy hos somewhat
modified the theory of tho Bamberg
affair which its correspondents imposed
on Special Agent Simpson. 1t now says:
nix probably acquiesced in the attack,
if he did not advise it," Special Agent
Simpson should amend his report so Us
to correspond with this modification.
Tho Nous and Courier further says:
The pOstoGce authorities ut Washington are
not satisfied with Inspector Simpsons report,
because he has not found ont the causes of the
attack, and who were the attacking parties.
These good people in Washington evidently
fail to appreciate the difficulty Of getting at
the truth under such circumstances. Probably
the real cause of dissatisfaction Is the fact that
Inspector simpson, who, by the way, is a
straightOut republican, made an honest re-
port and did not attempt to put upon the re-
spectacle white people Of Barnwell county
the responsibility for an act which they did
not commit. This il II campaign year, but In
spector simpson feels, we presume, that the
dcsirability of obtaining campaign material
for his party does not justify an honorable
man in inventing facts or misrepresenting
| them.
We do not know what tho postofice
authorities think about tho matter, but it
is very plain to outsiders that Special
Agent Simpson allowed "tho respectable
white people OF Barnwell county" to foist
upon him an explanation Of tho outrage
which is not sustained by particle OF
evidence, and which is absurd in itself.
The complaint against Special Agent
Simpson is that he did invent and misrep'
resent facts as far as Postmaster Nix Is
concerned. If the postofiice authorizes
have not called him to account for this
they have been dirolict in duty.

A Now Trmnrrnnee orgnn.

The New York Times has taken charge
of the prohibtionists. II affects high
regard for their honesty, their devotion
to principle, and oven for tho object
which they arc trying to attain. Wero
1t not that tho Tines is recognized as tho
distinctively Cleveland organ, we would
say that 1t supports st. John and Daniel,
and it is most anxious that large body
of republicans should voto for tho tom
peranco candidates.
Whatever tho failings OF the temperance
people may bo, they cannot be accused OF
/ lack Of intelligence. They arc readers
of newspapers, and are thoroughly posted
touching political events Probably
majority of them have already read
the fulsomo editorial article on Glove
lands letter of acceptance which ap-
peared in the Times on tho day the lotter
was published. Tho man was exalted
above the party ho represents, and his
individual views wero hold to be of moro
account than tho democratic platform.
Ellis lottor Of acceptance" says the Times,
"makos tho duty of those who desire
practical reform palmer than over. 1t is
| a statement which will bear the closest
examination, and on which tho indo-
pendonts eau go forward in tho canvass
with confidence not only in tho sound
ness of their cause, but in its signal
| triumph"
Let lis see what this letter, which the
Times adopts as its platform, and COM
monds to all the good and virtuous as tho
very embodiment of political wisdom
and morality, says concerning tho aims
aud objects of tho prohibitionists: "The
limit between tho proper subjects Of gov
ernmental control and those which can
be more fittingly loft to tho moral sense
and self-imposed restraint of tho citizen
should bo carefully kept in view. Thus
laws unnecessarily interfering with the
habits and customs of any Of our people
which arc not offensive TO tho moral SON.
| timcnts of tho civilized world, and which
arc consistent with good citizenship and
/ public welfare, arc unwise and vex-
atious."
This is part of tho letter which the
| Times 10 warmly Endorsed on wednesday.
on Thursday the Times, in leading ar
ticle, headed Justice to the Prohibit
tionists," says it has insisted that the
end aimed at by tho prohibitionists "was
a good one, and of increasing importance,
and that it was tho duty of the ropubli.
can party to do all that il consistently
could to accomplish It,"
Thus it is seen that between two days
the Times can swing from tho position OF
u free-liquor Cleveland democrat to that
of II total abstinence st. John.sud. Daniel
prohibitionist. The object on both days
is to promote the election of Cleveland,
but the means employed arc radically
different. One day it dovotcs to on
attempt to frighten the German republi-
cans from the support of Blaine by hold
ing up Gov. Ceveland's absurd bugaboo
of ''sumptuary laws; !" on the next IL tries
to wheedle temperance republicans into
voting for 81. John and Daniel by telling
them that the issue which they present
is of the highest importance, and that as
honorable men they are bound to follow
their conscientious convictions.
