We are not, u la Herald, niakiiigr a new
President every day. Tin: Sex has no
time jnst now to make. Presidents, engaged
aa it is in making itself a first-clasr. news
paper, lint if people null talk about
Presidential candidates the liv,e newspapers
.'" print wh it they say. Kecently Tin:
Sr. h is spoken of Senators Thurman and
Dayard. To-day it devotes itnlf 1o. (ien
eral Hancock.
If E ist and West get into a sn rl over
the financial plank and the Republicans
Hoininatc (irant, the South will bring oit
u "middle man" not one of her own sons,
for her po'ni have a bigger thing befere
ihein than even running for -President of
the United States, but they will announce
as the great national candidate Winfield
S. "Hancock, the brave Pennsylvania who
dared to remember that he was a man when
he reflected that he might be ordered to do
a mynnidon'8 work.
Gen. Hancock. has alw.ivs had a follow- 1
ing in the South. Our people will never !
forget the heroic staud he took ..for liberty j
when he refused to -play sat raj) in Loui.-- j
iana at the bidding of the (irant adminis- !
tration. He is a soldier with a clear head j
for C'vil affafrs and tin honest respect for j
something beside shulder-straps. For this i
he is not u f ivt iite of, William Tecumsch
Sherman and the powers that be.
There is little u k of Dark Horses. The
country': wants, her very best and most
prominent citizens in public stations. The
man for President is the Wvdl-'knwn "man,
and the great m w. In connection with the
Presidential nomination Tim Sex has
heard only lho-c s jvokvii of who a re tru'yrep
resentative men of our times. Ontfof these
is .(Jeiierai Hancock, the most intellectual
. man in t!ie army and one of the truest pa
triots in the country.
IIt TIM; THE COURT.
Considering his previous experience in
disenssing constitutional questions with
Mr. Lamar, we are surprised if anything
Mr. Blaine could do could surprise us
that the Senator from' Maine should at
tempt to discuss a point with the brilliant
Senator . from Mississippi . involving a
knowle'dge of the Constitution. Elsewhere
The Srx prints that part of the discussion
in the Senate on Monday,' which
related to representations, of, the
States iu Congress and the con
struction put on this part of the Constitu
tion by the Supreme Court. Blaine
claimed that there was an unfair . dispro
portion in favor of the Southern States?
and that the Court was wrong in constru
ing the Constitution. Now, Mr. Blaine,
as is well known, is no lawyer, and, like
the "necessity" which drives hint to great
straits, '"knows ho law" by private read
ing', lie would set up his prejudices against
the solemn and deliberate pinion of the Su
preme Court of the ' land. He would, ia
order to please the unreflecting men of his
party, take an absurd position which places
him before the world in the attitude of a
supple-jointed fool grinning at hjs own
nbundautj and - irredeemable folly. It is
needless to say that there has been no such
exhibition recently in the Senate. Other
Senators on the Republican side either know
something of the Constitution or are wise
enough to keep their lips closed. It must
have afforded Messrs. Edmunds and Conk
ling infinite satisfaction to see the junior
Senator from Maine thus commit hari-kari.
Mr. Blaine poses as the leader of the stal
warts, and these men know how little able
he is to lead them when questions of law
and other delicate and complicated ques
tions are to be discussed.
But, shock or no shock, Mr. Blaine dif
fers from the Supreme 'Court. And we are
sorry for the Court.
A WISE MOVEMENT.
The fact was published in yesterday's
Sun that Mr. N. Dumont, a Northern
man residing in Charlotte, had issued a
call for a contention of Northern settlers
in North and South Carolina and (Georgia
to meet in Charlotte on the 15th if Jan
uary next. The purposes of the gathering
are stated in Mr. Humont's letter, printed
in another place in to-day's Sex.
This movement, which seems not to be a
crotchet or personal scheme of the prime
mover, but the result of conference
Trith other settlers from the North,
iv as we understand it, in no po
litical or . monopoly-ring interest, but
is a spontaneous effort to have the truth
known with regard to social relations and
industrial matters in the South. As such,
we cordially herald it as the harbinger of
a Utter era to come, w& trust speedily ;
and we pledge in advance, to the generous
pioneers in the work of organized good
will, the cordial support of the larger and
better part of the Southern population.
The movement ii warmly endorsed by the
Charlotte GL&ervc)r. r
C OIlUl I'TIOX and MISMANAGE-.
NEXT. .
No Department in the Government ha9
leen as badly managed since the warasthe
Navy. Under Grant Robeson undoubtedly
abased hLs high position, to what extent
precisely it can only be kp.own by close in
vestigation., jln their report the majority
of the Honse Committee make tome figures
which throw light on the, misnaagement
that has prevailed in naval affairs.
The majority report thows that the ex
penditures of the Navy Department from
1870 to 1877r inclusive", was 182,496,033
ia money, to which ii? to be added millions
of accumulated material. Altogether $900,
000,000 ha been expended on the navy, of
v.hich 410,785,272 have been expended
since 1864. A tabulated statement sub
mitted shows a constant and almost cease-
less disregard and violations of several tec- j
tions of the Keyi-sed Statutes, which pro-
videa that all purchases and contracts for j
supplies shall bo let to the lowest bidder, j
who is a regular dealer or manufacturer of j
the article he desires to iunnlv. Under
the contracts over 20,000.000 has been ex- ;
i ended in violating these sections. It is
shown that thirtj'-onc ships, whose original
cost was $iy, TTo.fsi" .V2,- were .sold -for
5542,524 47; awd tweiity ships that cost
the Government. 1-2,G1'4.. '190 45 werebroken
up and sold for .5;41.K.'Jb 1G, from which
take the sum of lUt.fctT 44. cost of de
struction. Materials, whose cost is not
ascertainable, have bc-en sold, bartered an 1
exchanged -for comparatively trilling sum-,
and these sums have 'been applied '"without
being first appropriated bylaw, tims dis
posing of vast amounts of the pepTe's
money unlawfully.- Id the ease of -the
building of the Puritan it : shown that
the interests cf the government were not
duly guarded by Isaiah Hanscom, chief t!"
the bureau of coustnietion, and it is the
c'ticlus:on of the committee that the res
ponsibility of his action in regard to said
vesse'l is not his afone, but should be shared
by Mr. Ilobesoo. Five doubfe-t arreted
monitors cost the government over
$10,000,000 in property, and in money over
1,500,000, and by present estimates it will
take 2,500,000 to complete them, making
the average cost over 4.000,000. The
committee hold that the law requiring the
Secretary of the Navy to make reports of
s;des and contracts to Congress Las i;pt
been complied with, which is a misde
meanor. The committee claim that the report,
the facts in which arc taken from .official
records and reports, shows that all the
protective and prohibitory enactments of
the law made for the security and preser
vation of the public money and amounts
of public property have been illegally
vested, 'expended and disposed f without
any compensating benefits. j
In the further discharge of their, dttfy;
the majority of the committee say that
for the existing indebtedness of. the navy
department, and that for the unlawful sale
and disposition of large amounts of valua'
ble property belonging to the naval service
and the unlawful disposition of large sums
cf the public money appropriated, to the
naval service,- George M. Robeson j late
Secretary of the Navy; W. W. W.
"Wood, late Chief of the Bureau of Steam
Engineering ; Isaiah Hanscom. late Chief
of the Bureau of Construction and Repair,
and James II. "Wat mough, late Chief of
the Bureau of Provisions and Cloihinjr,
-i :i.t i c l 1
are cuieny respondent:. j hc report, iuriner
says there are other agents of the Govern
ment whose conduct in the public service
deserves to be inquired into by the execu
tive, department, and they are. Chief En
gineers Stewart, Finian and Henderson,
whose hasty examination of material at
the Boston navy-yard does not evince a
veryjiigh interest or regard for the public
service.
The committee conclude that, in order
that the law may be vindicated and re
spect for its mandates maintained, it is the
duty of the House to mark its condemna- !
tion of the illegal practices of these former-j
officers of the Navy Department, and tore
commend to the executive department of
the government the arraignment and trial
of George M. Robeson, "V. "V. W. Wood,
Isaiah Hanscom and .fames II. Watmough
before the naval and criminal tribunals of
the couutry, to the end that, if upon such
trial they are found guilty, they may be
Dunished. The committee 'cencluae-with a
resolution providin- for the proposed inw
vestigation.
This beingamatterpfsnpreuje importance
we priut this full summary of the majority
report of the Naval Committee The Re
publicans, in order to screen Robeson and
his associates and throw a shield beforp
Grant, refuse to jbin in these exposures
and recommendations, and make a minority
report. Let the, country know how the
public money has been misappropriated.
A special investigation will probably re
veal more than the committee were able
to find.

Mr. Blaine We are going down to in:
diet no. man and to try no man. It is to
ascertaut a "question
far beyond and far
above the rights or
th
wrongs of anv in-
dividual, and that is
whether there is a
fair and impartial representation is; the
: make-up of the Congress of the United
IStates: and in this connection 1 beg here
to n-ply W a remark made by the hotior
r.b!e Senator from Mississippi Mr. Lamar
on the day when these resolutions were de-
i bated before", and that remark implied that ;
even if there might be some advantage for
; the Souiii in the popular branch of Con
j gress it was. an advantage more than com-
! peusated by some 'countervening advantage ,
; wri.cn vte liem m uns oiancn. oir, w min
ever that phase is brought to light, know
! ing that' it is held up as a dreadful exam
; pie, let me tell the honorable Senator from
Mississippi and the country that I can
! name six Southern States that send twelve
Senators to tins, floor with one-half the
white population, of .the six New England
States and with less than the aggregate,
population. So that if the remedy hinted
at by the Senator from Mississippi should
be resorted to, that scalpel would cut more
deeply into the South than it would in the
North. Let me tell him, . sir, that of the"
thirty-two Senators who sit here from the
Southern States and forty-four from the
Northern States, a much larger number of
constituents are behind each . Northern
Senator than behind each Southern Sena
tor. Then if you take in the classes be
tween the North and South the advantage
is overwhelmingly against the South. If
yoii.take the frightful example of New
England, always held up, I will gather to
gether six States of the South that ii:
lustrate in a. far more striking manner what
the Senator intimated by .the injustice of
representation in this branch.
Mr. Lamar Mr. President, the Senator
from Maine misunderstood the position
which I took with reference to the repre
sentation of States in this Senate, owing
entirely no doubt to the want of clearness
in my own statement. If I did not misap
prehend the- Senator from Maine on that
occasion his argument was that under the
amendments . which conferred freedom and
citizenship and suffrage upon the black
race, the South through cert tin irregular
methods had obtained a representation in
the House of Representatives dispronor-
tioned, not to her population but to the
actual voters at t! e poll?, and if I did not
mistake him he quoted from the Supreme
i rn r t r a rC b r J'm't a 1 t i .1... '
Court reports of the United States a deci-
sion that, the power oi Congress did not ex-
tend far enough to remedy that dispronor-
tioti of representation in the other Mouse.
i( I utiderstood him he said that that deci
sion which denied' the power of Congress to
legislate so iong as the laws of a State it-
j m t A y aonuge any ot these
gress was powerless to intervene was in
dorsed by him as being true to the letter ;
of the Constitution which killeth. I un-
.derstbod him to say that the Constitution '
as thus construed was a killing Constitti- j
tion and that the letter of it stood up as a. i
barrier to the enforcement of the rights
conferred upon the colored citizens.
Mr. Blaine The Senator misunderstood
me.
Mr. Lamar Owing to my own obtuse
ness no doubt. i
Mr. Blaine Such might be the ruling
of the courts. I said, on the letter which i
killeth, but I, protested against the equity j
and justice of it. I did not at all admit I
that that was what in my judgment the '
Constitution was designed to be.
Mr. Lamar Precisely. He did not ad- i
mjt 'that it was what it.was designed to be; j
but do I understand now the Senator to ;
say that he differs with the. Court in its
construction jsf the Constitution?
Mr. Blaine I do. That may not be a 1
very great shock to the court ; but, never- I
theless I do. j
Mr. Lamar I differ from the Senator. ;
The court will be greatly shocked, but,
perhaps, will survive the attack. (Laugh- 1
ter). men, str, i laougnt n was not amiss
to suggest that if there were remedies in ;
the American people to prevent tnis dis- j
-proportionate representation, and if we ! whole force, with two extra men, were en
could so legislate as to make, not popula- ;
tion, but actual voters at the polls., to be j -,1 everT minu;e, a git-at mat-v had to
the limit of the representatton of a State: : - . " -
and if Congress, or the people, by their 1
amenoung power, snoum iuus mwrruvw i ;
reform the Government, and to make it a j
Government based entirely on numbers, j
not that New England alone, but that the
gouth, also, might apprehend that you
would go farther and crumble into rain cut

teds me that the froutb. is in the same dan-,
ger that the East i.that the New England :

have attempted to impress upon b&th &ec
tions. and that is. that the inviolability of

ii ,..l-;-a I'.-.tCn. ,,f i !if War." baaed on a
'bit of secret bis: or.'" as veracious as the
legend of. K:p V..u Winkle, and the stric

strikingly exhibit the surcrioii;y of retro
-.iwt on ovfr are.-i-nt. I ne iueor t an

without a fleet could he as?ail Grant post-
P1 on t!ie northern bauti ot the Ublo and
I protected by gunboats? Au ofilnsivc
movement, tiien, can only m-an an attack
' on Buell. Now, Secretary Belknap's re
' port (page 53?) shws that Grant had, Feb
i ruarv 1. 1SG2. .27.113 men. and Buell, Feb
j ruarv 20. 1SG2. i03.bf'4. Th se are, of
: course, exclusive of the large r -inforee-i
incuts ent from ilalleckto Grant beiween
! February 1. and February 1G. but they .'
1 form an aggregate of 131.000 men. Seven- '
ty-fire thousand effectives can scarcely be -an
overstatement of Buolrsstrength and 20.000
'df Grant's. Mv volume states correctly I
that General JolmsiOii never had more
than 43.000 effective. -on his whole line,
and the employment of the whole of ibis
forte against " Uuell would have necessi
tated the abandonment of the defence of
the -Mississippi River and of the Tennes
see and Cumberland, thus laving open his
rear to an attack from Grant. Such parlor
strategy might well excite our wonder,
lint had such concentration been possible,
should this army of 4:.000 men have been
led out to assail Buell's 73.000 in their de-.-ensive
lines? Yet this is what the critic
would require General -Johnston to have
done in order to prove himself "a general
of really great character." It might pos
sibly have been done with a disciplined
army against an incompetent commander.
But neither- of these conditions existed.
'I .-verse the casn. and let my critic inform

Federal ireneials ever attacked Confeder

assembled. i
In p'urticular do we desire to rep-eat "what j
we have so. often urged the - necessity of j
thorough local organization. It is the town '
i slrp committe.-s- who are charged with the '
I most important of ad party duties. To them :
' is .committed the duty of supervising the i
' electte-n. ami of d: ising means to brimr out
: every Democratic voter to the polls. They '
ought to meet frequently and advise and lake
counsel together how best to promote the for- i
tunes of that party, on whose success depends ;
so largely the prosperity of themselves and of I
their posterity. . In every township, in every j
neighborhood, there oulit to be appointed a
.committee of active, ejiieient, and prudent I
, party men, who will undertake to see that !
every Democrat in the precinct conic s to the J
; p 41.-; and casts his ballot for our noDiineee. !
We therefore urrc this upon the township :
committees; ana it in any tow nsinp it is ne
glected, we appeal to our Democratic friends
there to send their conveyances for all their
neighbors who otherwise infcrht not attend the
, polls.
Let it be cieariy undcrbtood in every locali
ty that lie who fails to vote for our nominee,
jrive half a vote to the Republican party, and
that the Conservative who casts his vote for
an independent is taking the surest means to
break up and. destroy the only party which
can ive relief to our afflicted country. We
warn ou' fellow-citizens that great ends can
not be accomplished except at tin? cost of some
inconvenience, and oiten throujrh the sacriiicc
of our personal preferences : and we appeal
to every man who has the good of the people
at heart to give a portion of one day to his
country, and subordinating his individual
preferences, cast his ballot for the iiomiru-i? of
the Conservative party.
For the Committee :
