THE SPEAKdUSIP.
Next to the Presidency the Speakership is
the most important position in the American
government. It is very natural, therefore,
that, as the time fixed for the extra session of
the new Congress,which is to choose a Speaker,
approaches, there should be an unusual move
ment In political circles. If the two national
parties stood squarely on their platforms of
principles it would not be very difficult to
forecast the issue. But in the rapid whirl of
events the centripetal forces in the Republican
party seem to be yielding while the centri
fugal threaten to scatter it to the four winds.
In the East there remains little either of
Democracy or Republicanism. The press
and people of that section of the Union have
given themselves over totwo ideas--the gold
standard and bitter hostility to any govern
ment aid to Southern and Western works.
With the restoration of local self-govorn
s mont in all the rebel States the fierce fanati
shm of w o gle S l has tevved, and re
pression of the development and expansion
of Southern interests and Southern ideas is
the only polities known among the Puritans.
In the West, Radical or bloody-shirt Repub
licanism still retains a lodgment, but the
spirit 9f conciliation dominates there and a
large majority of the Western people cor
dially indorse the action of the President in
withdrawing the troops from the capi
tals of South Carolina and Lotlisiana and the
restoration of the constitution in those States.
In the South, the broadest spirit of
nationalism pervades and inspires all
classes. The aspirations of the South
is for union and peace. Her people de
sire to support any national policy which
will advance the prosperity of every portion
of the Union. They desire to bury the ani
mnositioes engendered by the war, to hush
forever the language of sectional jealousy and
bitterness, and to allay the passions and
prejudices which men like Mr. Blaine seem
determined to foster and strengthen.
This, we think, is a. quite correct presenta
tion of the political elements and antagonisms i
which will be engaged in the election of I
the Speaker of the House of the Forty-flfth
Congress. In that House there will be i
some seventy-five Southern Democrats. r
The object of these Southern mom- '
hers will be to preserve the or
ganization of the national Dom)ocratic I
party as the only party, of the constitution, t
and to secure government aid for those great I
'natlonal works in which the ommerce knd d
industries of the whole nation are concerxned, a
but in which the South and West have an e
especial and peculiar interest. (I
The East is not violently Republican. i
but it ls so aggressively, we may say c
fiercely, devoted to the interests of the bond- v
holders and creditor classes and hostile to I
every Southern enterprise, that the election a
of an Eastern man, whatever his politics, to F
the Speakership would be a disaster certainly c
to the South, and we honestly believe to the g
whole country. There are many Eastern a
Democratic members of the House who, we a
believe, would like to accord the South all just
and legitimate aid. We believe that Mr.
Cox would like to do so, and we are not in
credulous of Mr. Randall's good intentions.
But there is no member of the House from
the Eastern States, whatever his views and
power, who could as Speaker defy the power
and influence of his constituency solidly
united in favor of a policy calculated to ag
grandize the wealth of the East mnd to re
press and render subordinate the interests of
the South and West. Mr. C(ox, in the Speak
er's chair, would be an Eastern man first and
a emocrag'next- a Mississippi levee man:or
a T i.xrPacic lemnan, never.IThe influences,
inexorable as death, which! wouldl operate
upoli him are those which created such a
leader as Mr. Tilden and such a statesman as
Abe Hewitt, and lost the country the grand
est civic victory ever won in a demoralized
and degenerating age. Neither the national
Democratlni party nor the South has any
thing to gain by the election of an Eastern
'man to the Speakership. s gouia ig
Of late a strong movement has been organ
iaed with the view of using the great strength
of the Southern Democrats to oompel the elec
tion of a Southern man to the Speakership.
This movement seems quite practicable and
It is apt to captivate the Southern people. It
would certainly be very gratifying to
us to see a Southern Democrat in the
Speaker's chair, and we have an array
of able and brilliant representatives, any
one of whom would fill that high
place with great .ability and distinction.
But we question the advisability of elect
ing A Southern man Speaker at this
time. The need of the South just
now is not political advancoment; she is
not stripped for the race for political
power and distinction: Her homes are
laid waste; her people are poor; her trade
and industries are enfeebled. Her chief aim
just now should be to restore these material
Interests. Possessing again the blessing of
local self-government, the highest political
ambition of her people should be the purifica
tion of the laws and manners of their States.
The election of a Southern Democrat as
Speaker would arouse in all its original fury
the sectional bitterness of the North. With
a Southern man in the Speaker's chair,
Blaine's crusade would assume a great po- I
litical significance; he would become again a
great leader; Packard's and Chamberlain's t
tirades against the South and the President
would be clothed with the elluence of In- 1
spired teachers. The centripetal forces in the
Republican paxwUould regain their power I
and that orgali'.ation would again become as t
compact and pliant to the will of its worst i
and most fanatical leaders as when Thad Ste- I
vens damned the constitution and Grant over
threw the government of Louisiana without i
exciting a protest in the ranks of his follow- I
org.
We dl not believe that the interests of the n
South or of the country would be subseWed i
by the election of a Southern Democrat to the I
Speakership. On the contrary, we think that I
the l*reets of the National Democracy, of r
the sth 0at o the country at large wll be c
best served by a oordial co-operation of the
Southern Democrats in the election of a West
ern Democrat. We think true patriotism will
prompt the Southern representatives to con
code this election to their brethern of the West.
The hope of the South is in the Democratic
party and in the identification of its interests
with the fortunes of that party. The South is
itselfsupremely Democratic; every Southern
State is a Democratic State. The national
Democratic party has no fixed supremacy in
any eastern State. Political power in the
East is constantly fluctuating. It is, there
fore, of the utmost importance that we
should endeavor to build up the supremacy of
the Democratic party in several of the great
Western States. The tendency of politics in
several of them is that way, and the South,
in a large and generous spirit, should push
it on.'
Mr. Hayes, if hie ilopes to obtain the sup
port of any party for his administration,
should look to this alliance of the Southern
and Western Democrats. He has no hope in
the Republican party, and unless he is willing
to be crushed he must ally himself with the
Democratic party. He has apparently realized
this fact, but is yet moving in the dark.
He has evidently mistaken the sentiments of
the Southern people, and has recognized as
representative men men who represent noth
ing, in Louisiana politics at least, save lust
of place, time-serving and trickery. Lou
isiana conservatism is an unknown quantity,
a something without shape or purposewhich
is heard of on the eve of our conventions,
clamoring for recognition and office, full
of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
The representatives of this nonenity in Lou
isiana politics the President has accepted as
the representatives of the people of Louis
inna. We assure the President that the peo
ple of this State are Democratic, and that the
Democratic party will control the politics of
Louisiana for years yet to come. If his pur
pose is to rally a support to his administra
tion and advance the alliance we have sug
gested, lie must recognize Democracy as the
controling power in Southern politics.
n A PROUD LINEAGE,
e Gen. Hugh W. Mercer, who recently died at
. Baden Baden, Germany, was a distinguished
f officer in our late civil war. He had gradu
1 ated at West Poiat In the same class with
I Jeff. Davis, Rosencrans and Buel, and was a
gentleman of the highest character and a sol
I dier of brilliant courage and military ca
l pacity. Gen. Mercer was the uncle of our es
teemed fellow-citizen, Col. Isaac Patton, Ad
1 jutant General of the State.
The lineage of these two gentlemen was one
I of which they might justly be proud. The
I grandfather of the one and the great grand
father of the other was one of the most illus
trious inen In our military history. Gen.
Hugh Mercer, who fell at Princeton in our
Revolutionary war, was not only the beloved
I and intimate friend of George Washington,
but was his preceptor and the inspirer of that
military pride, ambition and knowledge
which, with his noble *atrltisnm and de
votion to the cause of freedom, marked
Washington out as the leader of the Om
tinental armies jr the revolution of 1776.
Hugh Mercer was a Hcotehman and, when
quite a youth, engag'ed in the memorable
struggle (of 1740(, on tile side of the Pretender,
and was badly wounded mtt the battle of Cullp
den, where the cause of tile Stuarts receivel
its final and annihilating blow. With many
others, incluling tile outlawed clans who
were involved in tllat disastrous struggle,
Mercer fled to the Americlan colonies and
settled in the ancient and historical town of
Fredericksburg, Virginia. Having been edu
cated to the profession of physician and drug- i
gist he secured employment in a drugstore
and from his previous reputation and service
as a soldier soon drew around him the spir
ited and adventurous young 'men of the town
and country, who regarded him with special
respect and idolatry as a chieftain of great
prowsds. His narratives of his narrow es- 1
capes and thrilling adventures in one of
the most brilliant tlhough brief campaigns
in English history were of the
m1ost exciting and interesting character.
Amolg tilese young men who gathered
aroulrnd the "Hero of Culloden," as he was
called by the young Virginians, was
Georg Washingtoln, whose mother then t
resided with Iher family in Fredericksburg. e
Washington was a protleg of the great and
wealthy old Lord Fairfax, the proprietor of
the whole region of Virginia west of the Blue
Ridge, and had been employed to make sur
veys of his valuable possessions in the Valley r
of the Shenandloah. Washington and Mercer s
became intimate and cordial friends. They I1
were members of the same Masonic lodge in
Fredericksburg, and had been companions in f
many stirring adventures and escapades 1
amnmg the Indians on the borders, wherein.
their courage and skill as hunters and g
scouts had been tested and Illustrated. o
When Gen. Braddock was sent to the col
mices with a large force of regular troops, with
a view of marching against the French forces h
and possessions on the Monongahela, it was t
proposed to him byLord Fairfax to supplement Ii
his regulars with a battalion of scouts and ir
regulars, to be enlisted from among the young
Virginians. George Washington was selected
to command this battalion, and Hugh Mercer
was his second in command. The history of
tills disastrous expedition is familiar to all
Americans. The only honors won therein
were due to the Virginia, scouts. Among the
sufferers from the disasters of Braddock
was Captain Mercer, who was badly wound
ed in the shoulder in the bloody defeat near
and retreat from the Monongahela and, un- It
able to keep up with the fugitives, wandered fl
alone through the wilderness to Foel, Cum
berland, one hundred miles distant, where hie b
arrived exlhaustel Iy wounlld4. hunger and
lHotrning to F(redericksburg atthe closw,
of the disastrous compaign of rald(dock.
Mercer resumed his practice as a physician
in that town. At the breaking out of the
Revolution Mercer promptly repaircel to
the headlquarters of the ContInental army
and, on the demand of George Washington,
the Commander-in-Chief, was appointed a
Brigadier General. How gallantly and nobly
he discharged the dutie s of his command, and
with what efficiency he sustained his old
friend and companion in the fearful perils and
troubles which were encountered by them in
their effort to discipline and control raw
militia in operations against regular troops,
may be learned from the history of Wash
ington's retreat through New Jersey. This
retreat terminated in the glorious death
of Mercer, the tragic circumstances of
which had a powerful influence in sustain
ing and invigorating the courage of the militia.
It was in the assault on the British position at
Princoton that Mercer led the vanguard. His
men beginning to waver before the bayonet
charge of the British, he made an energetic
E .d .L.. VT vUIL nl.iJ ,., JJJ1P L
attempt to rally them and was felled to the
ground by a blow from the butt end of a mus
ket. Though surrounded by British soldiers
he rose and defended himself with his sword,
refusing quarter, and after a long struggle,
in which he was repeatedly bayonetted, was
left for dead upon the field. He was removed
soon After the battle to the house of.a Mr.
Clark, where a week afterwards he died iI
the arms of Major Lewis, Washington's
nephew and one of his aids. His corpse was
followed to the grave in Philadelphia by 30,
000 people.
We have thought it not inappropriate or
uninstructive to our readers to reproduce
these incidents of the career or one of the no
blest soldiers of our revolution, whose de
scendants in our late war proved them
selves worthy of their illustrious ancestors,
Of those descendants, several fell in the
cause of Southern independence, including
two of the brothers of our present Adjutant
General; nearly all of them received severe
wounds, and there was not one who did not
serve with gallantry and distinction in the
defense of the land of his nativity and his
love.
Our morning dispatches contain some very
significant news from France. MacMahon
seems to be justifying the accusation made
against him at the time of his accesion to
the presidency, that he was an "old Marshal
of the Empire with pronounc(ed Bonapartist
tendencies." The government has decided to
call the election for members of the new
assembly within three months'after the tdisso
lution of the old, as the law requires, and has
therefore announced that the first election
will be held on September 16, instead of OctA
ber 15, as was originally intended, and the
second ballot on September 30. Tihe Assenm
bly is to meet on October 8.
But the character of the ticket announced
by the administration overcomes all pre
sumptions arising from this slight conces
sion to constitutional authority; it is com
posed of two hundred and thirty Bona
partists, one hundred and seventy-six Le
gitimists, and one hundred and seventeen
Orleanists, and if a majority of these are
elected, the fate of I (e Republic will become
involved.
However this may be, It is very plain that
under MacMahon's administration, and, in
deed, within the past year, the Bonapartists
have developed ftom a mere faction, com
posed of an insignificant number of Senators
and members of the Assembly, into a very
formidable party. This condition of affairs
in France will lead many persons to believe
that the star of the young Napoleon is de
cidedly in the ascendant.
Gov. Fletcher, the attorney of .Joyee, the
lastof the St. Louis whisky convk'ts, claims
that his client must be releasedl, his time hav
ing expired on yesterday. He has yet a
term of eighteen months toi serve, but the
same point is raised in his belhalf as in the
Tweed case, viz: that cumulative sentences
are illegal. The point was made andu sus
tained in St. Louis in the Maguire case, so
Fletcher regards Joyc!'s release as certain,.

the Sandwich Island mirssion. Nesici has

wrestle with during the Iest of the snummer?
The Baltimore (hJezlle notices thi singular
coincidence that Grant is "doifing" the con
tinent under the title of the "( treat lUnkown,"
which is also tihe title of the leplubliean
