Democratic leaders have schemed

enter mourners, no rood can
sibly come of tbia, besides its
tendency is to tooulcate a pern fel
ons sentiment by placing a sort of
premium upon crime and invest
lag the criminal with the glory of
martffdom. If we remember tbe
facta 'Ooz was tracked down and
arrested by the detectives about a
year ago for the murder of Mrs.
Hull of New York city. Be oon
frrsed to having entered Mrs.
Bull's chamber and robbed ber,
aod also to having rooghly seized
and gflffged her in such a wav as
6produoe death. It ia true that
Cox's primary ot jMt waa robbery,
but bis violence toward Mrs. Bull
shows that he was resdy to do
murder if necessary to the suooess
ot bis design aud hia own aafety.
By his own confession be was
guilty ot burglary, and as the di
rect agent of Mrs. Bull's death
while feloniously engaged in rob
bing her, by a proper construction
ot tbe law of New York he was
guilty of murder. In North Caro
lina and other Statea simple bur
glary, like arson, ia a capital
c ffeoue ; for tbe law tightly pre
sumes that one who is so depraved
as to forcibly enter a dwelling
.house tor the purpose ot robbery
is possessed of a murderous spirit,
would uuhesitstingly take human
life if bis own jife or personal
security became endangered while
perpetrating his crime and is
therefore a murderer In will if not
in faot.
We think that Oor was fairly
.tried an:! justly executed. Bad
Oov. Cornell yielded to the solici
tations of Cox's friends, and by
thee-jclse of his prerogative
shielded him from thejost punish
ment due on account of hia orime,
bis oondoct would have been oen
t&ftjtbe highest degree.

Of tbe strong feeling excited
against Cox when on being appre
hended he confessed to tbe rob
ftoiy end murder. Bis trial failed
to develop a single faot to palliate
tbe enormity of his crime. Io the
eyes of tbe public at large bis guilt
wa neither heightened nor exten
uated by tbe trial to which he was
subjected. The fact of his being
a murderer was already establish
ed, and the popular verdict was
that be Ought to suffer tbe extreme
penalty of tbe law. There are
some com mom ties io this country,
New York city being notable
among tbe number, where feelings
of horror, and indignation at first
excited by tbe perpetration of an
atrooioae murder eventually give
way. to sentiments of pity for
tbe wretch who commuted tbe
deed. Tbe case of Cox la illustra
tive of this. Such miserable, de
praved snd vicious sentimentality
cannot be too severely condemned.
Oar colored leaders and editora
who ar lamenting Cox and de
nouncing Oov. Cornell have quite
enough to do in considering and
seeking to redress the real grlev- j
a noes of the race. The colored
people labor under many wrongs
in this country. These wrongs
must be righted by themselves.
They must cry out against them
from tbe press, tbe polpit aod tbe
public platform. Iu tbe end tbeir
rights as men snd citizens will be
folly conceded, and race prtjudioe
and ioaMoe will bo baoished
from the land. But let colored
men take high moral ground in all
things.. Let tbem beware of put
tiug themselves aod tha race they
represent iu bad odor before tbe
country by dilating upon such
instances as the hanging of Cox
as a negro grievanoe.

politioiaaa to keep thdt dirty
practice oi mod throwtag. They
know that Garfield is aa honest
man, that his character above
reproach, aod that he Is respect II,
admired snd even hoaored by the
leaders of their own party. These
democratic Lilliputians whose at
tacks upon Garfield's reputation
are aa impotent as they are. con
temptible aud disgusting, take
their cue from tha Democratic
Brabdiognag, the New YorkW
Dana, the editor of that slander
ous and vulgar j mrnal, ia aa un
principled blackguard, a sorehead
Republican, and bas long been tbe
inveterate personal enemy of Gen.
Gai field. Several years ago be
made a desperate attempt to de
feat Gen. Gai field for Congress io
the nineteenth Ohio District. The
Western Reserve waa fl joded with
regular editiona of the tfua, to
gether with aopplemeeta aud
other matter inspired by Dua
detailing the' aame old charges
that are now being industriously
circulated with tbe view of crip
pling our caudidate. These no
scrupulous i ffjrta against Gailield
resulted in a signal and humiiit
ing failure. Tbe General was
nominated in Convention on the
flrnt ballot by a turee-fonrtbs vote,
lectivtd au overwhelming majori
ty at tbe polls and. waa duly re
turned to Congress by bis faithful
aud admiring constituency.
These declarations impeaching
Gai field's honesty are lies, aod
Dana is the father of them. Bat
they are powerless for harm, 'they
aie stale, . flat aod pn fit less."
They have been used before but
vainly. Gaifldd has tbe ooutt.
dence of the intelligent aud pain
otlo element of the country, and
be will be triumphantly elected to
tbe Presidency in November,
Dana rd his puny imitators to
tbe contrary notwithstanding.
, With this issne we complete
our first volume. The success of
tbe Republican seems now to be
eeeredr We h- largely over
coma tha d'flenlttas "ander which
the paper struggled io the outset
and feel warranted in announcing
that we have established it at last
on a permsnent basis. It is our
object to make the Republican a
useful aod popular journal, and
through its oolamtis to wield tbe
most effective atiuence in behalf
of the Republican party and tbe
advancement of the negro. We
are compelled at length to call
upon our subscribers who are de
linquent to settle op at once. We
can indulge them no longer. Oar
subscription rates are low and
there are tew who oannot afford
the moderate charge made for
valne reoeived. We. most con
da ot the Republican 'a strictly

our list the names of those who
rail to pay after due notice.

They ssy Judge Cox is ut wil
ling to sgree to a Joint canvass
withMaj Bledsoe, his Republi
can competitor for Congress io
this District. Maj. Bledsoe Is s
terror to the Democracy and we
are not surprised to find Demo
cratio politicians extremely reluct
ant to meet him. Judge Cox will
lose rather than gsin however by
skulking through the district at
tempting to dodge Mm). Bledsoe.
Tbe people will not be slow to
learn that Cox has more than bis
match in Bledsoe, aod that his
refusal to canvass Jointly with
him ia tantamount to a confession
that he is unable to defend tbe re
cord of bis party against tbe dam
aging attacks of his dangerous
opponent
