At a time when it should be the object
cf every one to throw as much light as
possible upon the politicalsituaticai North
and South, the studied misrepresenta
tions of certain journals in regard to the
designs of the dominant party, are very
reprehensible. W^e do not object to a
discussion of the issues of the day; on
the contrary, we deem it indispensable
that they should be thoroughly canvassed
and presented in all their bearings, in or
der that a proper knowledges! them may
be disseminated among- the people; but
we do contend that now, if ever, they
should be perfectly ingenuous and free
from false coloring.
Tue necessities of the case require that
"the most perfect understanding should
exist between all sections—that every
disguise should be removed, and no ef
fort spared to restore confidence and
make the path of duty plaiu to the end,
that our steps need not be halting, but
steady and firm towards a happy reconci
liation. Any oue actuated by other mo
tives than such as will promote this, the
aim of loyalists everywhere, is an enemy
of the Government and cannot be a
friend of the South. On occasions of
great political excitement many filings
may be said and done which, though not
exactly harmonizing with our orthodox
vieivs of morality* may be passed over
without special animadversion, but under
circumstances like the present the same
' offences should not b6 tolerated, and
ought to be frowned upon by every patri
otic citizen.
The manner in which President John
son has dealt with the insurrectionary
States has established the fact, that he is
entirely free from all vindictiveness, and
has unquestionably secured for him a
warm place in the affections of our peo
ple. This of itself is a matter of small
moment, and only becomes important
when we consider him the representative
of the party which supported him for the
office he holds, and whose wishes he will
be most likely to respect to the end of
his administration. There is no political
fetichism about it. He was chosen be
cause he endorsed their views, and not
because he entertained peculiar ones of
his own, which they were determin
ed to adopt. They cannot be said
to reflect his opinions—he must be and
s guided by theirs, and whatever has
been dcuc which meets the approval of
the Southern people, is not to be attri
buted to any individual, but must be con
sidered as the action of that party or.
gauization, which is pre-eminently re
publican and loyal in its objects. Tjxey
are friendly to us, to the very same ex
tent that Mr. Johnson is, and every effort
to lead us to believe to the contrary is
nothing less than a covert attack upon
our in'erests to subserve the good of a
mere faction, and if not eounteiacted by
the sound sense of the South, must re
sult disastrously to the whole country.
There are a few plain truths to be kept
in mind, and we urge our readers not to
lose sight of them for a single moment.
Those who are constantly prating
about the terrible radicals, whom, they
allege, are placing every kind of obsta
cles in the way of the President’s paci.
fic measures, have not been, during the
war, favorable to the Government, and
are not now entittled to the confidence of
the country. They are seeking to -re
build their shattered fortunes, and in
their great extremity, db hot scruple to
use material which they rejected not long
since as utterly worthless. There is no
dependence whatever to be placed in
their professions of .devotion to the
President and the cause of the Uhion.
The name which a few months ago was
. held up as infamous has too suddenly
becomes endeared to them. There has
been nothing to warrant their con
version, and we are justified in being
somewhat incredulous as to their sinceri
ty. They are not to be trusted. The
Union party—so magnificently great in
its proper time as to be able to shadow
a!! others in obscurity and with which
-4hey cannot claim fellowship—is the one
in which all dur interests are centered,
and if we consult the well being ol our
State we will nave nothing to do with any
other. The President and Congress were
called into existence by its voice, and it is
vain to expect anything but unity and
harmonious action in the workings of
each. The cry of radicalism is the wedge
used by the opposition tb divide the pow
er which recently administered to them
such crushing defeat, and' they would
have us unite our efforts with theirs and
participate of their misery, for reasons
which no sensible person caii fail to un
derstand. The party, of the Government
rr—call it Republican if you choose—has
~ Bhown a disposition to meat us on the
most friendly terms, and -nothing is re
quired of us but to come forward in the
same manly spirit. We should not seek
to incur their displeasure, bat everything
should be done to encourage the belief
that their confidence in ns has not been
isphced. Do otherwise—revile them
ome do—consort with their enemies
accept their teachings, and we will

Lftst night the great and pleasing
event which has been on the tapis for
several days was consummated at St.
Andrew’s Hall. For three weeks fairy,
fingers, and fingers that are not fairy
have been plying vigorously to enrich
the Orphan’s Fail- with all the rare
articles that tender, loving woman’s
skill can produce when, her
warm heart is enlisted in the
cause of eharitp. Entering the hall
we find it transformed into a beautiful
bazaar,’glistening with’Oriental splendor
wherever the eye is ^.turned. W e have
not sufficient time or space at our com
mand to devote to a detailed descrip
tion of the attractions that are presen
ted at this fair, but we shall hastily
glance at a few' of the most prominent
articles that met onr gaze.
Ushered into the hall amid a bust
ling throng of visitors, with bewitching
bevies of handsome ladies sandwiched
between the crowd, each armed with
tjjpse formidable weapons, raffle lists
and pencils, an armament that will sink
every dollar afloat in the hall, we were
lost in astonishment. We have occa
sionally, while quietly perambulating
our streets been captivated with the lustre
of eyes that shone out from beneath the
aunty hat and feathers, but if you want
to be afflicted with the palpitation of the
heart visit the fair, and we will wager
you can depart without humming the
bachelor’s sonnet :
“No one to love, none to caress,”
Roaming this World’s wide wilderness. ”
We innocently (of course, all newspa
per people are innocent,) wended our
way to one of the tables^ which we shalj
appropriately style Fatal Table No. 1,
inasmuch as we were rash enough
to “takej a chance ” in a chair, (not a
cradle,) and before we had time
to indite our name on the list and pro
duce tbe two dollars, we had no chance
to get away from that table until
purse was depleted, our resources ex
hausted, our riches fled, our money gone,
greenbacks non est, and the last piece of
postal currency vanished, w hile our pocket-
book presented the appearance of having
been trod upon by an elephant of no
mean proportion^ According to a rough
calculation, we took chances in every
sort of an article that human .ingenuity
can devise, -from a pin-cushion to a rock
ing chair. If we win half of the articles
we subscribed for, we shall start a little
Orphan’s Fair on our own account and
donate the proceeds to the same worthy
object-
We have read of the Pardon Bureau,
where the applicants for amnesty and
clemency throng in resistless currents,
but if that Bureau is beseiged as we were
at the Raffle Bureau, we desire to extend
our heartfelt sympathy to the clerks in
attendance. “Now do please take a
chance in this elegant cushion—only §1
a chance !” “Ah ! here you are ; just
write your name on this piece of paper—
only a few more chances left in tins mag
nificent chair 1” “You promised to take
a chance in my wedding cake!” “I
know you will put your name
down for a chance in . this fine
embroidered lady’s handkerchief!”—
“This silver sett is to be raffled for the
benefit of tbe poor orphans, and I know
you will win it.” “Before you go take a
few chances in this superb album.” “A
wedding cake, with a gold ring in it, sir ;
list almost full.” And so we might aon-
tinue the grand chorus of the irresistible
intercedes. One thing we found out
last night—that it is one and the same
thing to be captivated and captured, for
we were literally flanked, outwitted, sur
prised, taken by storig, taken without
storming, and were finally driven
back in wild disorder, losing heav
ily in ammunition. We surren*
dered once, were paroled and then
exchanged, and of course went to fight
ing again, but it was no use, ancj we con
cluded it was best to capitulate, which we
did as gracefully as .we could under the
galling fire of the enemy, and thus ended
the financial battle at the Fair, which we
presume is all right, as “everything is
fair in war.”
The Tables.
At Mrs. Cass’s table the visitor- will find
many very rare and beautiful articles of
vertu, while the extraordinary skill and
artistic handiwork will amaze the spec
tator. Two elegant Piano Covers, with
elaborate floral designs, splendidly
wrought in the richest colors forming the
borders. A rich Aff g h«m Quilt,
of gorgeous colored worsted; an
elegant black walnut ' frame rock
ing chair with stuffed back, and
seat embroidered most artistically; an
exquisite Papier Moche Checker Board
or Backgammon Table beautifully
with pearl ornaments, surrounded with a
the world’
the favor
employed in
for being in
Of c _
the whole ornamented with
dallions and fine gilt trimmings of
the most unique and tasty dpsigas.,
Whoever wins this article will draw a
fine prize. On the centre of the table,
rises a massive wedding cake beautifully
frosted with,pint and white sugar orna
ments, with the words, “ Help the Or
phans” worked in pink. A handsome
cake at the end of the table is surmount
ed with a miniature design of a convent,
the tower with the bell and cross, while
bending over the steep crags of the moult *
tain is the picturesque Palmetto tree.
There are cakes with, crouching lions,
cakes with innocent lambs, jellies, Ac.
We should not fail to notice the elegant
Bridal Doll at this table, as well as the
Papier Mache Desk and Backgammon
Board.
Mrs. Prendergast’s table is surely invi
ting and radiant with beautiful articles,
while the air is redolent with the deli,
cions aroma of rich cake, tempting
ly environed with the pure white ja-
ponicas. 'Here are cakes and jellies of
the most beautiful description, both in
color and form. Cornucopias. Rabbits,
Acorns, in fact we cannot describe their
various shapes and designs, but if you
step up there you will be Waited uptou
by fair ladies in the most courteous man
ner, wffiose very smiles are worth—well
we don’t dare to set a price upon them,
but the beauty of the seis that they are
not to be raffled, but are freely given
away to all.
Mrs. Fernandez’s table -is equally as
attractive, and last night was radiant
with feminine loveliness, throwing the
wedding cakes, jellies, and other deli
cacies and good things completely into
the shade. There -are plenty of sweet
meats at this table and we are sure it is
sweet—to meet, such pleasant ladies,
even though they do succeed in relieving
you of the last dollar. There is strategy
in selecting pretty ladies to wait upon
Fairs, but as that is no affair of ours we
will not object to such fare.
Ferre.
If you are hungry go to St. Andrew’s
Hall and taste the “good things of this-
life,” prepared in. the most palateable
style and soM at moderate prices. Y'ou
will have a good appetite because your
conscience will tell you that for every
mouthful you eat you are helping to feed
the orphans by patronizing the table.
There are other tables presided over
by most agreeable ladies but we failed to
learn their names. One thing we will
say, take advantage of our experience,
and when you go to St. Andrew’s Hall
provide yourself with plenty of funds,
and don t attempt to resist the advances
of the ladies, biit make an unconditional
surrender.
Miss Freeborn’s table, near the stage,
will draw public attention from the va
riety, elegance and usefulness of its arti
cles as well as for the artless simplicity
displayed by those in attendance. A fine
Silver Plated Tea Set, rich embroidered
Piano Covers, Vases, Cushions, Glove
Boxes, Mouchoir Cases, wrought in velvet,
and other souvenirs of woman’s handi
work, will draw the currency to the or
phan’s treasury, where it is so mnch re
quired, and where we earnestly hope it
will flow.
Mrs. Cercopely has charge of the re-
fseshment table, aided by several atten
tive ladies, whose refinement and
true politeness was extended to us
last evening, in a manner that we
were not prepared for. The viands
that fill the inviting table are of
the richest kind, and embrace all
tbe luxuries of life, prepared by hands
well skilled in the culinary art. Oysters
in every style, Chicken, Lobster and Oys
ter Salads, Boiled Dishes, Game of vari
ous kinds, Jellies and Fruits, are dispens
ed as onty truly refined ladies, laboring
for a Christian benevolence, can bestow
them.
One thing we regretted hist evening.
A fellow, whose name we could not as
certain, was rude enough to enter the hall
filled with ladies and children aiul light
Iris cigar. When politely requested by
several gentlemen present to extinguish
it, or retire from the hall, he replied with
the most abusive language that he should
smoke there, and lie would like to see
any one prevent him-' Being ejected
from the hall, he repaired to the
Provost Guard and made a com
plaint that he had been insulted, and
desired the arrest of the party who had
offended him. The guard arrived with
their bayonets, ready to make the arrest
or restore order, but their services were
not required, for the troublesome indi
vidual was provided with an escort out of
the hall.

SECOND DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
Reported Expressly for the National
Republican.
Savannah, Deo. 18,1885.
r)The public anxiety and interest regarding
this important military trial is increasing in a
faster ratio than its progress. Present, appear
ances indicate that the ease may be protracted
in consequence of anticipated adjournments,
rendered necessary by the absence of evidence
on the part of the Government.
The proceedings this morning exhibited
nothing iD the shape of additional evidence-
the prosecution awaiting the arrival of official
dispatches from Washington.
The Commission assembled at 11 o’clock
with a fall quorum of Its members present.
The accused with his counsel were punctually
in Court.
After the reading and adoption cf the minutes
of the last session, the Court was cleared fo
deliberation, ami upon the doors being, opened,
the Judge Advocate announced that tbe mem
bers ot the Commission, acting us individual 8
and not as representing a .'.fihtary Court, bad

Kimball, Commanding the District of Savannah,
that the accused be “allowed to go at large with
in the limits of tbe City ot Savannah, on his
Parole of Honor to appear belore said Commis
sion when called upon so to do.”
The counsel of General .Vetcer also united in a
separate application to Colonel Kimball, but in
more general terms.
The Court them adjourn'ed until to-morrow
morning at 10 o’clock.

FROM DARIEN.
Raising of the American Flag—Enthusiasm of
People—Arrival of two new Mill Oampa-
the
[From an Occasional Correspondent.]
Darien, Ga., Dec. 16, 1865.
Yesterday we bad an interesting celebration,
held upon raising a liberty pole in front af the
Custom House, Captain Catsbnry, of the U.
8. steamer Nansemond, with/his marines, pa
triotically assisting in placing the staff in pom-
tic n, after which a splendid large American
11 ig was flung to tfie breeze, and honored by a
national salute from the guns of the revenue
steamer. The general enthusiasm of the peo
ple was raised to a high pitch, and fonnd vent
in cheering for the President, our noble An
drew Johnson, and tbe gallant officers and
seamen of that trim and staunch craft, the
Nansemond—the latter returning the compli
ment in- loud cheers for Gen, Grant and Sher
man, and finally for that emblem of freedom
the world over, the American flag.
The participants in this spirited affair were
subsequently invited to a sumptuous collation,
where the choicest of wine, brandy, whiskey,
&c, flowed in profusion—enjoying themselves
to tbe fullest extent.
I regret to say that some of the citizens had
the ill-grace to decline the generous invitation
which was extended to all, and stood frowning
and swearing vengeance, saying that “one of
these days they would regulate things!” It
was done of course in a qniet way, but their
remarks were overheard by a number of by
standers. The fact of the flag raising, seemed
a sore matter to them, and they no doubt
wished that some other man than myself bad
assisted at it. It is just such conduct on the
part of such men that has caused me, as much
as anything else, to become an out and out
emancipationist.
In conclusion, I would remark, that business
at this Post is increasing. I believe that more
will be done in a year from now, than was ever
done before. This fact is shown to some ex
tent, by the arrival of two more new MiM com
panies from the North. In haste.
