" IT is an excellent recommendation for a republican candidate to have served as a soldier in the Union army , but he ought also to have a record as jvu honest man before he can expsct the support of the people.

Council HOWE in already putting out feelers for the next speakership. Pto Church would be a eplendid man to } > ack the committees and report as he did during the list session , that no legislation was needed to protect the people against discrimination and idS abuses of railways. Games presiding ever the senate and Howe over the house would make a fine team for jobbers and monopolies. THE proposition made in the council inme cil to request Engineer Cook to name n man to act as Inspector ofwakr pipes is decidedly original. Mr. Cool is now employed by the water work c-impany. The object of inspecting the pipes is to compel the company live up to its contract. Is Mr. Cook the proper person to recommend sucl n man ? If so , we .might aa well Ic Icwn Ilia water company appoint their OWE iirpactor and save the expense to wn.h city. _ THE progress of the republic campaign in Indiana and Coimecricu : is reported to ba of the most cheering nature. In New Jersey the state BIX congressional nominations have great ly strengthened the national ticket nnd give substantial grounds for hopes of republican success in November. Ohio is safe beyond doubt , and the hardest fought battle will take place - in ISew York state , where the princi pal efforts of the republicans will be devoted to keeping down the fraudu- lurk l nt voting of democrats in New York nn.l Brooklyn and bringing out the f jll vote of the busincsj element. The state outside of Now York ant Kicgi counties ia good for 40,000 re publican majority. YEBMOXT fires the first gun and goes fiOOO better than was expected.

There is a cjnstaut tendency of the republican majority to decrease , owing to emi- sjritioa of the thrifty classes to the wejt and the increase of the foreign population. la Tuesday's elections the republibans elect all three con gressmen , aioin one in the election ' 'TO' "W Grour , who -will take tbe : \ THE SPIE1T OF THB SOUTH.- About six weeks ago an able address was delivered the Academy of Mo- sic in this city by Col. A. P. Huggm , Kcntim- his observations and personal experience in shot-gun governed Miss issippi. The gr-phic picture drawn by Mr. Hupglns of the intolerant , auto- crel'c spirit of the ex-confederates very J naturally roused a spirit of indignant-l patriotism atttong the re-uiljTinn-LL _ _ . . _ - r- < * T " -r- jiresent. To counteract tBe cfl ict-oT thcsa personal diEcloEurOT.leUtsK are published now in the aid , from Aberdeen , nouncing Mr. Hoggins FE an impostor * and libeller cf the south. The editor of the Herald , * northern man with , southern sympathies , flaunts the rebel wg in the face of loyal Uobraskans , and in its own language "perforates" Mr. Huggins with Mississippi buck shot. shot.The The editor of THE BEE has no personal knowledge of the present spirit oFlhe south , but he4ia--vivzd recollection of how it was down there at the outbreak of the rebellion , when he was a resident of AUbama. jllo remenVDers very xJintlneHy how Stephj en A. Douglass was rotten egged at Huntsville by chivalrous southrons during the memorable campaign that culminated in the election of Abraham Lincoln. He remembers how free pr-BS and free speech -wore trodden under foot , and how men.who dared to avow loyalty to the American flag were ostracised , hunted down , and driven into exile. But the Omaha Herald and northern democrats as sure UB that the spirit that kindicd- the flames of the rebellion has died out , and the south is now tolerant , loyal , and even patriotic. They pro nounce Ool. Huggins a blatherskite and fraud , and clinch their denuncia tions with letters from MisEis'ippians , who testify that HuRginscame there an a "mule feeder , " was promoted to the guperintendency of schools , edited a radical paper , displayed his ignorance in various other ways and was soundly thrashed , by "unknown parties , " for fostering negro equality , and teach ing the blacks. As an offset to the value of souUi- ern testimony , we will republish ex tracts from letters of Jeff Davis1 and citizecs of Iforth Alabama concern ing the editor of this paper. Ia the spring of 1875 ex-Postma die General Crasswell , while -stumping Maryland , reiterated the historic charge that Jefferson Davis had in his speech delivered at Stevenson , Ala. , prior to hia inauguration as president of the defunct confederacy , foreshad owed an. aggressive andbaibaric policy in case tha north should resist peace able disunion. It had been the aim of Jeff. Davia to place himself before the world as a great Christian soldier who only drew his sword in nelf-de fence , and never sanctioned the barbaric , baric waif are which sought to spread p-stilential diseases among the in * habitants of the great northern oities > y the Introduction of Infected cloth- ng , mercilessly butchered negro cap- ives at Fort billow and tortured maimed and starved Union prisoners it Andersonville. He very promptly > renounced Gen. Creswdl's charge as utterly false , emphatically denied ever ; laving uttered the sentiments attrib uted to him , and also denied evorhav- ng made any speech at Stevenson , Ala- > ima. At thia juncture Tun OMAIIA SEE produced positive and incontrovertible oi. vertible evidence corroborating Gen. o i.IE Jre.ss well's charge. The editor of THE BEE declared that ho was present nth fthen Davis made that speech and furthermore that he reported that speech and transmitted it by iele" graph to the Nashville papers and the associated press. In order to extricate tiin cate himself from the dilemma in which thisiestimony placed him , Jeff Davis addressed a letter to the editor of the Huntsville ( Ala. ) Independent S who in turn-wrote to Stevenson for 1 1ed record of the man who had nailed Jtff Davis. This correspondence was published in the Huntsville Independent idol. ent on September 0,1875. As in Col. ol.ch Huggins' case , witnesses to impeach Rosewater's testimony were very > prompt and emphatic. Mr. George \V. Rico and five others in a lettei dated August 10,1875 , gave theeditoi tc of THE BEE the following character I was well acquainted Avith him , beinp at the time a-ent of the NftRlmlle ind Chattanooga railroad ' . this i > * acc , .nd . having coustrnt Lusiness to trncsact for tkuroad with the telegraph office.

Having cleaned his slirts by thi contradiction of Rcsawatcr'a testimony oelf ny , Jeff Dav's vindicates himself through the Memphis Appeal , whose editor sums up at follows : _ -Ro ewater was regarded at that very time with suipicion as a northern man , a stranger , and perhaps a spy. At all events , hi * statements , naked acd uncorroborated aB _ to the tone and temper of Mr. Davis' brief extempore remarks from the platform of the depot , are flatly contradicted S quite a number of the best citirens cf Ste- \etson who were present , and distinctly remember the character of that p ch. This grave misapprehen irn of Mr. Davi ' remarks at Steen on has found it * way into a so-called history , and been copied into Grader's "American CoBflict , " Dra per's "History of the American CirilTVar" ind into other northern publications .r"of lesser weight and authority. The whole libel , however finds its origin in this fel- ( ow Bo ewat r"s unfounded statements. Ho is the sole , tinsustsined , unc rroborat- ed cathority for it all. He is now contra- dieted , discredited and irspenched. aUs falce utterancts will now find their level in the refuse of political slanders of the pact , and in this matter , at least , the truth of history -Tll be vindicated.

Government Otvnership ofEaUrvads. American Eicba'ge. Advices from Berlin s ate that the German government is about to as sume the" exclusive ownership of iti entire ralroul syEt-m. The dispatch which we have received states that public opinion in Germany is strongly in favor of the policy of the govern ment owning and opcrMing the rail road * . The benefits which the people ple "receive from the railroads run by the government , it is claimed , are greatly superior to those which ara af forded by the reads owned and man aged by private corporations Further , the dispatch contain * an expression of the opinion of some ono that the en tire railroad system of Europe will be eventually bton out of the hands of" % hose-who now control them , and be .piade the property of the countries in which they are locatsd. We have -ood remon to doubt that any scchiiyvuiaioua notion will be tkcji in Europe , evpn altho'UEh many and Belgium nro redded to 'such a policyj and Fr > Hce may be thinking of it. It is altos-ether un likely that Enghnd will ndojit such a course rhli it& vast network of rpil- roads , its policy in the past havinu been to maintain i governmental supervision over the railroads , while it left to corporations the responsi bilities ru well as profits of operating them. But wliatex er may be the pub lie sentiment of Europa rega-d- uis ? the mailer , nud what ever may .bo the benefits which the people directly derive from uov- piument ownership railroads , there - is much room to doubt the feasibility of the course sujg stod in our dis patched , and as will the advantages which are depicted. Wo ara not be lievers in the desirability of govern ments uicddiicp with matters purely compierchl , ahd entirely nonpolitical , cal , exctp'.ingso far as their duties 11in protecting the rights of their subjects ; required them to take notice of exist " inj ; wrongs , and to prevent them. Running railroads , no tnoro than keeping hotels or cultivating farms should bo the prerogative of a gov * ernment. What may ba the particular necess ity for pulling into tbe hands of the , government the exclusive manage ment of the railroads , which exists in a Germany , wa are satisfied that no such necessity exists in this country. Neither is there any suc'i popular de msnd for governmental intervention . that is reported to exist in that oror try. On the contrary , public opinion is strongly averse to the governmeni ry entering into nn enterprise that can be equally SB well , if not bettor , con ducted by individuals private or car porationa. And it is well that this is the general view , for wa feel perfect : ; ly assured that the putting of tha rail wads of the United States into the hands of the general government would be a step fatal not only to tha free institutions of the mtion - but it would endanger the private in tsrests of the entire psople. Were - the isilroad system of the Unite < - States to come into the ownership o - - the government , a vast political ina chino would ba created , the existence - of which would ba constant threat to the liberties of the people. Every employe on tha roaiis wouid become political officeholder , owing al'cgiancc ' . to the powers that be , and yielding i on every occasion , for any purpose dictated to them no matter how dan gerotis or vicious it might ba. There are other and equally aa crava objections to the plan suggest ed , ono of which is the inefficiency stol service wliich would bo likely to fol - low the putting in control of the rail " roads persons whose only qualifica tions consisted in their political influ : euco. While however , , wo nre on posed to the policy of the government § owning or oparating railroad ? , we mie lieva that it has functions to perform in the superyisinj ; of their inanace ment , and in protecting the people from extortion and inju tico. llns duty the government ought to per form , with perfect fairnc-s and im partiality to the people and the rail- roads. In the performance of iln * duty ic will violate none of the prin ' ciples which attach to a free govern ment , and it will exert no power not properly belonging to the people which created it. 1 he Bte on Corporations.

Tlie work of emancSpa tionis _ undoubtedly as much of a ne- cemtynowaa it was in 1862.

Aftpr all , the underlying issue in thia presidential canvfos is the old is sue of state or national sovereignty the old question whether this is a na tion or a Isaguo. This is what Sena tor Hampton meant in his imprudent Virginia speech , which he has tried with additional imprudence to soften and explain away. Senator Hamptoa expressed in that speech the universal sentiment of the intelligent white pop ulation of the south. Ti.ere is no sort . of doubt about that. The democrats n of South Carolina and Virginia and , ot'ier states lately in rebellion still cherish the sentiments which led them iuto rebellion ; for wlrch they fought under Leo and Jackson , and which they did not surrender -ohon they laid down their arms. These sontimentg guide their political action now as they guided their military activity in . the valleys of Virginia eighteen years ago. The ballots that are drip ped Into the Virginia or Carolina billet lot box for Hancock next Novem ber arc- directed by the the sama im pulse and to the same purpose as the bullets that were fired from the de fenses of Richmond upon the advanc ing union armies , from 1801 to 1805 s This is a fact so plain , so simple , i5so natural and inevitable , that it should be recognized without bitterness upon side and without one apology upon the other. A real or imaginary per sonage in Memphis writes to The Chicago , cage Tribune to protest against Wade Hampton's apologies for his on speech and to condemn the ly policy of the southern leaders uho covtr up their real sentiments and af fect a change of opinions they do not feel. This candid younp southerner dechrea it is the simple truth that the issues Leo and Jackson fought for aie . a helm ; retried with the ballot instead of the bayonet , and insists that Will H. Kernan , the maniac of The Ok : illi loni Southern States , is a fairer and mose honest representative of southern sentiment than the and suave hypo critical apologists whom the suuth chooses as senator ? and representa tives. Whe'her this letter is genuine or not , it is true. There has been no change in the sentiments and purposes of the south since the men who now represent those states in congress led regiments and brigades under Lee and Jaakson in defense of slavery and state sovereignty. The only change is in the m-thod by which it is sought to accomplish those purposes and realizi those sentiments. The men who were seeking to destroy the nation by war then , are seokiug to destroy it now by politics , whether they are candid like Bob Toombs and Kernan , or politic like Wade Hampton. It is not nee essary to announce this with anv declamatory fustian. It is nol necessry to denounce these ! men as traitors while they seek to accomplish their dangerous purposes by peaceful and legal meth ; ods They were traitora when they took up arms aeainst tha nation to disintegrate it and accomplish its te - ctruction. When tern they seek to accom plish the same objects with tbe civil weapons which the constitution and the laws place in their hande , they 7 are simply dangerous politicians , to be overcome by the same weapons in the hands of citizens holding broader and juster views. In our ar form of _ government , the holding id expression of opinions dangerous to the nation does not constitute sedi tion. Tbe attempt to break up and destroy the nation even , if made with the con .itutional weapon of daa fraa ballot , does not constitute trea son.

We congratulate _ the people of the itate upon the rapid increase of popula tion and \vealtb , and upon the good meas ure of prosperity that has rewarded their Hbor , upon tha rapid upbuilding of our material interests since the success of re sumption and the revival of trade. G We pledge our support to such legis lation in congress and such measures by state legislatures as may be necessary to effect a correction of abuses nnd prevent extortionate discrimination in charges by railroad corporations. 7. We most cordially invite the aid and co-operation in the latest defense of the national integrity nnd national purse of all republicans and war democrats who have differed with us on temporary issues , or haxeclnmr to the party name. Jletolied , That we heartily join in the reciinmendation made by General Garfield in his letter of acceptance in urging upon congress the speedy improvement of the Missouri river for barge navigation.
