The contest for Congressional honors la Ilia
Tifth district lu Massachusetts constitutes a
curious episode In the present cauvas. iho
district ia now, a is wll known, represented
iiy the irrepreesiUe General Lutler, ami tUu
war is, onriouhly ehool), waged by the radi
oftg 0f whoui Jlutier has been an acknow
ledged leader against the Uoueral, to oust
him from Beat in the Houe of Represen
tatives. This is plastically thu war between
Orant and Miitler revived in a new suapa.wUu
What rebult remains to be Been, liatler id not
a saint, lie does l'ut profess to be a saint,
liirt antecedents ami procilivitie3 are alto
gether of a different character. 11 occu
pies the position of Satan visiting Elen,
and if elected to Cougress the radical
Jiden ho will be as full of mischief, and create
as much of a row and rioting among the
faithful as his great prototype did in the early
history of mankind. II- is made of just the
Stuff to give the radicals in Congress a great
deal of trouble. If ever a State of things
existed that invited the presence of the Ddvil,
Confess next tes.-iou will be thd piaca and
15en liutler the rpreaentative man. 1Ij will
lip np all the radical plot, corruptions, jobs,
and juggleries from top to bottom, lie will
expose the rottenness of radicalism from root
to branch. The radicals knew and feel this,
and hence the opposition that besets him In his
district. Hence it is that by a singular up
heaval of the political elements we liud the
party mummies of a remote age cemiug to the
surface, and, joining hands with the long
haired radical nondeecripts of the present pe
riod, the still-necked and Puiitanioal embodi
ments of the hour, the "bloated bondholders,"
the bubbling Bohemians and the babbling
blue stockings of Massachusetts, going into a
ight against a fiery-tougued, satauic, unscru
pulous, and audacious publicist like Ben But
ler. Certain iniquities can only be fought
with fire, and Butler is the fitting torch
hearer. The Democrats should go en masse for
him. There is no chance for electing their
candidate, and Butler will answer all their
Purposes in shaking up the radical dry bones,
f he should turn out to be a reformer, bo
much the better. It will be a new rule for
him, and one in which, properly and vigor
ously carried out, he will win much applause
end perhaps distinction. So, then, let the
Democrats of the Eisex district unite with
Sutler's friends and secure his triumphant re
election to Congress.
Insufficient Grounds.
From IheN. Y. World.
General Grant is a candidate for the Presi
dency on two grounds first, a supposition,
and second, an aspiration.
I. The supposition appears to be that, a3 a
Successful military man, the highest civil
office is Lis due; on which hypothesis General
Sherman, as the next most successful mili
tary man, ought to be Vice-President; General
Sheridan, as the next, Chief Justice, and so
on, until we would have colonel-senators, captain-judges,
and oorporal-eUeritt's. Further
more, on the same hypothesis, as the navy
did only less than the army, Admiral Farra
gnt, as the most successful sailor, ought to be
our next succeeding President, with a Cabinet
of post-oaptaius, and a beuuii lull of powder
hoys. .TLl, it ja submitted, is not according
to the eternal fitness ot things. Grant is a
Boldier, a suooesbful soldier. Let him remain
the head of the army. Seymour i3 a states
man, a eagaoious statesman. Put him in the
White House. Lot us have the right man in
the right place.
II. As to the aspiration, it is let us have
pcaoe. This ia a good aspiration, If capacity
to form it entitles one to the Presidency,
every mother's son of us ought to be in the
White House to-day. We all want peace.
War hasn't made any of us generals with un
exampled rank, emoluments, and pay. When
we say let us have peace, we are in deal
earnest about it. We don't dictate the senti
ment to our chief of staff, and then go out
and order Meade to proclaim martial law oa
the eve of election in five great States. Not
much. We don't have fiity horses in our
Stables, and reoeive each day eighty poor
men's food at the public cost. War hasn't
made us great; and when we come out for
peace we are not turning our back on the best
friend we ever had in the world.
But it is argued that because General Grant
utters the aspiration he will make it a fact. If
elected he will enter the White House at a
time of great tumult and anarchy. He will find
that life is not as secure as it should be, that
liberty ia much in danger, that property is far
from safe. In one word, he will iind that those
things whioh it is the province ot a good gov
ernment to conserve are not properly attended
to; and now, what in this exigency will he do f
How will he let us have peace ? Once before
he has been called on to meet such a state of
ail air s as this, and iu his course then is to ba
found an uuerriDg indication of his purpose
now. In the State ot Texas it was reported to
him last year that there was a condition of
things analogous to that now extending over
much of the country, and this was his view
thereon: "Believing it to be the province
and duty of eveiy good government to
afford protection to the lives, libarty,
and property of her citizens, I would
recommend fcthe declaration of martial law in
Texas to secure these euds." Nor was this
view oonfined merely to Tex, but expaudod
Into a general rule, thus: That "the applica
tion of martial law to one of these States
would be a warning to all, and, if necessary,
could be extended to others." Nor, further
more, was this view promulgated undr cover
of the so-oalled Koonxtruution acts. It was
not until March 2, 18137, that the State of
Texas was, among others, by Virtue thereof
"made subject to the military authoiity of the
United States," and yet, ou the 2inh of the
January preceding, General Graat coolly re
oommends "the declaration of martial iw a
Texas." It took au act of Congress, you see,
to make Texas subject to the military autho
rity of the United States, even in the minds of
radical Congressmen, aud yet Goneral Grant,
more radical even than they, recommends
martial law without nny act or acts at all. It
Is submitted that this is au ugly commentary
on a serene text.
Is the South a A'cw Ireland J
F atn the N. Y. Timet.
"Shall we make a new Inland in Amerla?"
asks General Blair; aud then he goes ou to
answer that the reconstruction nolinr of Can
grass has resulted in a "new Ireland" an
nnhsppy land, "proscribed; and persecuted
and trodden down as the old Ireland is." Of
course, this is some of Blair's blarney. Ho Is
bidding for the votes of Irish-born citizens,
ana appeals 10 lueir prejudices oy UKuntug
Congress to the l nglUU oppressor and the
Southern States to the ill-used couutry from
Which they sprang. The appeal would be
legitimate if it were true. It would be effec
tive If it were not bo directly at variance with
faots that only a fool oan honestly give it I
credence. ... , '
The South ia not a "new Ireland" in any
respect. Its treatment by Congress bsars no
analogy whatever to tne treatment 01 ireiaui
by the English Government. Not a single
Irif h grievance has a parallel under the its
construction acts. Not a solitary right now
claimed by or in behalf of the people of Ire
land is withheld from the people of the South.
The Republican policy iu regard to the latter
can have no more uotnp'ete vindication than
in the contrast it affords to the policy o( Britain
as the conqueror and ruler of Ireland.
England, as the ruler of Ireland, has ahoTO
us how a powerful nation may deem itself at
liberty to vindicate the authoiity of the con
queror aud to uphold the attributes of a g)v
tinirg power, it has never dealt generously
with armed oppression or leniently with sup
piepped rebellion. Its acquisition of control
has from the first been signalized by harsh
punishments and stern repression. It did not
wait for rebellion to justify confiscation; it
found excuf e for that in a mere difference of
religious foiui?. It proscribed aud persecuted
men simply because they wore Catholics.
It hunted them like wild beasts buuaus in
matters of faith and opinion they dilfored
from their Kuglitsh masters. It robbad
them of lands aud houses, and sent them
forth as outcasts for attempting to exercise
the commonest privileges of freemen. Aud
having by tyrrany and wrong driveu them
into insurrection, it shot or hanged all it
caught, appropriated their po3esiions, and
transferred tbe lands of relnlliou distriots to
its lojal adherents. It imposed upou the
country au insolent hierarchy, representing
an iuFignifioant minority of the people, de
graded the tillers of the soil to the level of
serfs, and instituted a policy designed to
depress domestics industry and rentier depend
ence upon Britain abje t and complete. The
Efevere measures recently called out by Feni
aniem, and the sufferings indicted upon Fenian
agents and leaders, prove that the British
Government has not materially changed its
tactics when resistance to its authority is in
question.
Supposing, then, that Frank Blair means
what he says when he asserts that the Repub
lican policy has created a new Irelaud in the
South, what might we expect to Had in that
section of the Union f In the first place, every
captured leader of the Rebellion executed as
an example. Next, the banishment of thou
sands of their more conspicuous adherents.
Next, the forfeiture of all their landed estates
and their subdivision among the freedmen.
Next, the erection of a strong military govern
ment, with officers instructed to puuish sum
marily all who attempted to produce disaffec
tion or indicate resistaune. Such would bs a
partial reproduction of the British policy
toward Ireland, which Blair tells us has been
adopted aud applied by Congress.
But mark the difference ! Not a single
Southern Rebel has been hanged or banished.
On the contrary, they go about unmolested,
travel to the North to construot Democratic
platforms and nominate Democratio candi
dates, abuse and defy the Government which
has treated them magnanimously, aud actu
ally boast of their determination to trample
upou its laws and overthrow its work. Nor
has there been any confiscation of Rebels'
plantations, or any continued interference
with the political privileges of those who
would have destroyed the Union if they
could. They cultivate their farms aud pursue
their avocations unmolested. Beyond the ex
clusion ot a very limited class from Federal
office, the whole people of the South share
the rights and benefits of free government,
Tiiny nave ausoiuie control ot their local
affairs, and participate freely iu national gov
ernment. For the "proscription and persecution"
which General Blair declares distinguish the
Reconstruction policy, we look in vaia any
where. In the seven States which have been
restored to the Union under the law, not ono
citizen is disfranchised by the General Govern
ment. No disability of any kind, in oonneo
tion with the suffrage, is attendant upou reoon
Btruotion. With the trilling exception we have
named, no penalty whatever is inflicted by
reconstruction upon any class; Rebel and
loyalist are equal iu the eye of the law in
their freedom and opportunities. They thare
Federal representation and the management of
their State's concerns. Reconstruction, there
fore, gives the Southern people the fullest
liberty. Io oppression taints any part of it.
If the Rebels are not content, it id not because
they are proscribed or persecuted, but be
cause the law which restores them to the
freedom of the Union provides guarantees
against the infliction of injustice upon the
freedmen.
General Blair and his party violate truth
when they represent the South as the victim
of Federal tyranny. Sorrows it may have, the
penalty of its own guilt; but it suffers no
wrong from Congress, and should rather be
grateful than rebellious.
Seymour and liluir.
From tht N. Y. Herald.
Seymour has been West making half a dozen
speeches a day. more or Uss, and on every
thing in the heavens aud in the earth and in
the waters under the earth except Seymour
and Blair as the Democratic ticket and except
ing the main plank of tbe Democratio platform
Blair comes to New Yoik, and, regardless of
his tabooing by the Manhattan Club and the
warnings ot the Bohemians who dance about
that club, he stands and speaks bravely and
Equarely on the main plank of the Ddiuooratio
Plattoiui, trie unconstitutionality oi tuo reoon
btruotion laws, and the Democratio masses ap
plaud him to the echo. He is not to be put
down or kept out of Bight by the Mauhattan
ring, nor does he intend that the Democratio
platloiiu shall te hid away in tue oark.
Blair, too, goes the whole ticket, Seymour
and Blair, while Seymour ignores Blair and
goes only for Seymour as the representative
of the Democratic faith. Hence, as the real
embodiment of the Tammany creed, Blair id
the man who ough to te at the head of the
ticket; for, eink or swim, he stands by his
colors.
Uncc Hlore Unto Hie Dreaeli.
Fivmthe Wmhinaion Halion'xl Inttlliyeneer.
It is gratifying to know that throughout the
vX"iM extent of the Northern States the De
xnocrata aua.fl0nBt)rvatiyf3 are ,ui)y arjiuae(i
to the necessity oi ...mea, active, and indus
trious exertion to carry the election next
week. The people themselves are all-powerful.
They can achieve vh.tory if they will,
even when leaders are recreant. It is a souroe
of peculiar satisfaction to witness this demon
stration on the part of the masses, in dwtlan jo
of the indifference and the treaohery of the
Tammany clique, which assumed to manage
the campaign, aud up to this time have
managed it only in tbe iuterest of our oppo
nents. Never before was a party cursed with
tueh management. All was confided to the
Tammany ring, whioh, with large promises,
undertook to manage the whole affair. The
Congressional Comraittee at Washington was
abrogated. The whole control of the canvass
wb impudently assumed by the New York
nianageis. The result was, nothing whatever
was done. Tammauy was content with the
local triumph in New Yoik State, aud was
willing to let the rest of the country take oare
of itself.
Fortunately, the October eleotions panel
the eyes of the Democrats and cousorvatlves
to the faults, follies, and deliberate errors of
oujission and commission through, which thy
had failed to realize the success to whioh they
were entitled. They have been prompt to
repair these errors. They have, not only for
the present, but for all future timn, iguoro t
the cabal of New York lobbyists in every poli
tical eampa'gu, who assumed control only for
the most pelll-h purposes. The misses hive
discovered that they cm no longer rely upnn
Hith miserttble charlatans iu politic), and,
laving aheady RuH'ered, are determined to
suffer no longer from this poiirei. Thy have
d terminal to act for t!u iustles. If they
will do this in every voting froiiiot through
out the country, they will even yet wm a
glorious victory.
Ihe Central Committee at ftuv torklm
proved a fraud, a deception, au ijnis ii'mif,
leading the conservatives odIv to rtefe&t. 1 lie
pafety of the pirtyis in acting independently,
awaiting no instructions, expecting no aid
from that impotent ource. Our people can
win the lijiht. They cau yet achieve a glo
rious victory. They can drive raiicalistu to
the wall in this contest, if they will a 1 act
together and depend only ou theius lves. Tu
radii nU wore jubilant bo Ions as they fouud
the Democrats aud conservatives' depending
upon this treacherous New York junta; bit so
soon as thpy fonud that ithadbeen denouivin t
and cast aside, they began to despond. We
are gratified to find that the exposition that
has been made has aroused the Democrats
masse3 throughout the country to a sense of
the necessity of self-dependence. This senti
ment will go far to carry U3 triumphantly
through the election. The idea of depending
upon central committee of any description,
whether national, or state, or county com
mittees, is erroneous. It enervates aud para
lyzes the energies of a party. It relieves indi
viduals from the responsibility ot exertion.
It leaves all the work of the many to be done
by a few, who often, as in this iustauoo, do it
badly.
What 13 wanting uot ia for the masses of
the fi iends of tho Constitution, the Union, and
civil liberty the opponents of radical extra
vagances and usurpations to unit together
iu one serried phalanx, to wait for the word or
help of no committee, but to go to work for
the next few days, each for himself, to labor
early and late, and unceasingly, to bring out
tbe fullest Democratic aud conservative vote
in oppo.-ition to radicalism that can be polled.
There should nothing be left undone that any
one man cau do. Tnere should no vote be
left unpolled that is entitled to ba polled. There
6hould be no Democra'io or conservative vote,
whether able to go unaided to the polls, or
lame, halt, or blind, requiring assistance, that
should not be put into the ballot-box.
It is of more than ordtuary importance that
every Democratio and conservative vote in the
country should be oast. The existing crisis
is extraoidinary. I( we are defeated now,
there might be never again a Presidential
election, never any mora constitutional liber
ty, nothing but a military despotism, and
then empire. To avoid this it is necessary
that every vote opposed to empire under the
existing radical mleis shall be oast on the 31
of November. It is especially essential to our
Southern friends that they shall cast their
fullest vote. It is neoe sary to their safety
and to the preservation of the peace of the
country that the full force of the conservatives
and anti-radicals phall be shown unmistakably
iu this election. Let every vote be cast; and
let frauds be prevented, and ail will be well.
The Democratic Slfimjii'dc on Financial
IS MILS.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
The Democratic party, ashamed of their
candidates, and repudiating the. revolutionary
features of their platform, are vainly endea
voring to make a stand and rally their pamc
etricken aud deserting ranks by misrepresent
ing financial issues. Here also they are in
hurried retreat from all their leading positions.
Mr. Pendleton, finding that the . people see
nothing but ruin in paying off the entire Na
tional debt in greenbacks, thus swelling our
currency to $2,500,000,000 and destroying its
value, now declares that he never advocated
that policy, other Democratio orators nud
that the clause in the Damooratio platform
calling for the equal taxation of every species
of property involves a system of direct tax
ation on all real estate and fixed capital, with
out regard to its income; that it admits of no
discrimination in favor of the poor or against
articles of vice or luxury; that tor every dollar
it would collect out or tue national bonds it
would collect forty dollars out of real estate
and other permanent investments; and that it
is, in fact, the moat unequal system of tax
ation which humau ingenuity could devise.
They are, therefore, actively pooh-poohing
this feature of the Democratio platform, and
assuring their hearers that it doea not mean
what it Bays.
Mr. Seymour himself has explained that the
bulk of our National bonds is held by Savings
Banks and Insurance Companies, aud that the
property of their two millions- of depositors
and insurers is invested by these companies in
the National debt. What is not bo held is
owned mainly by our friends in Germauy, not
by the aristocrats nor capitalists, but by the
intelligent middle classes there, wuo believe in
.American institutions. It is clearly base, and
not very clearly profitable, to swindle our
chambermaids aud servant girls under pre
tense of rescuing our "poor taxpayers" from
the clutch of the bloated bondholders. There
fore the great Democratic drama of the
"Bloated Bondholders and the Suffering Tax
payers" reluses to run through the season,
tiuce the hero of the plot is discovered to be a
sneak who is picking the pockets of servant
girls undar pretense of protecting virtue and
aiding the indigent.
'J hbu there was a very ni littld devioe by
which the national bonds were all to be paid
(11' in twenty years by a simple tax on the
bonds themselves. Upon this policy the
national credit would flourish as the fabled
ferpent grew fat by perpetually consuming his
own tail. But it is found on careful study
that this policy results in no revenue that
wLat we collect in taxation on the bonds we
pay iu increased rates of interest.
The Democratic platform has also a nice
little clause in favor of one currency. But on
inquiry it is ascertained that the Democratio
paity in Congress voted almost solid for two
currencies, "one for tho bondholder and
another for tho laborer aud pensioner," while
the Republican party voted by a heavy major
ity in favor of paying the interest on the
public debt and duties on imports iu green
backs, hoping thereby to keep the greeubaoks
at par with gold. We are indebted to the
Democratio party, therefore, for our two cur
rencies. Hence they are beginning to fight
shy on this question.
They talked loudly of eoonomy. Bat it is
fjnnd that the eame city government of New
Yoik which our Republican Mayor Opdyke
ran in 18U1 and 18(i2 tor less than $12,000,000
a year, costs under Mayor Hoffman over
$24,000,000 a year, being twice as much per
head for our whole population under a Demo
cratio Mayor as under a Republican, gold aud
other prices remaining the same. As for
national expenditures, notwithstanding all the
abuses of President JobnHou'g Administration,
the checks thrown around It are such that it
oosts 115,000,000 leas In gold per annum to
run the entire civil gervioe of our natloual
Government under Johnson than it did un t-r
Buchanan. These facts olose the discussion
on economical points.
in answer to their allegations that tin n
tional debt is ou the inorease, we siow thtt
Biuce June, 180,5, the whole amount of dibt
then incurred aud outstanding, inclaiin t'ut
for which no bonds were ever issued, but
vthiih wi met and paid by taxes, hs b irt
reduced from :j,;iUt,tU(,(no to $2,000, 000,0 ).).
In short, that the national debt with whi.th
wo ended th war is hot one-fourth pid. To
their complaints that w-i are still as far fro a
specie pnyments as ever, and their luqulri-M
why gold does not, come down to r, w-i
pnswer: During the p.ist three years tin
Government has been compelled to fuul about
i?l, 100, 000, 01 10 of Bhort and aojruiug obliga
tions into bonds pajabli in twenty years or
at tbe option of the Government after five
j ears.
This funding process has kept the Govern
ment constantly a borrower, has cotnp'l! tI
it to keep steadily pouring on the nnrkt, i's
new obligation?, with which tho market wis
already glutted. So long as this process con
tinued its credit could not rise to r. But
now that the funding process is complete, and
the Government is no longer a Imrrover,
nothing but Democratic threats of repudia
tion will prevent us from ultimately borrow
ing ell the money wo want at three or four per
ctnt. This would reduce our annual iuterest
by 00,0(X,000 a year. lUn :o, the first grettt
messure of national economy is to crush all
attempts at repudiation as incendiary, trea
sonablo, and too costly to be even agitated.
In veiillcation of the3e rants, we how thit
bonds declined two per cent, when Seymour
aud Blair were nominated, and recently ad
vanced Eeven per cent. whm it wa3 generally
announced that their success hal ceased to be
possible, and Democratic orgaus iu despiir de
clared for a change of measures aud of men.
There is, therefore, a3 general a cessation of
the Democratic fire on the financial questions
as on reconstruction. Seymour tells them to
"push the debt and taxation issue," but, hav
ing grasped the sword by the blade-point iu
Bteadof the hilt, the harder they "push." it
the deeper it wounds them.
Republicans of New Y'ork and Pennsylvania!
take up the challenge whL-h Mr. Seymour ha3
thrown down, and "push the financial ques
tion. The Democratio party can be compelled
to break ranks and run as far and as fast on
that battle field ss on any other. Let your
watchword be, "We entered upon the war for
tie Union with pure motives, we conducted
it for wise ends, we fought it with noble
blood, and we will pay for it with good
money ."
