These sinister influences prevailed in leg-
isiation. and ius:caa i a rigin system oi
economy, such sis was at once adoj.ted in
Fiance under a similar condition of things,
a vicious ingenuity w-is employed to keep ,
up the expenditures to the highest possible
point, to create oftices, and to expand in
every direction. Of course the appropria
tions had to be reduced from the war foot
ing. but no (hanks to tlnse in power, for
tlie country would never have submitted to
the continuance of such burdens.
Uut this diminution was never honest or
earnest, Kvery million of reduction had
to be extorted, and wherever one was
yielded, two at least ought to have been
obtained. This truth w as demonstrated at
1 1 1 o last session by the facility with which
the House cut oil at a single blow forty
millions of dollars, and would have struck
at lifty millions but for the 'logged and
bitter hostility of the President and the
Senate, who tinally succeeded in impairing
the work of the people's representatives to
the extent of ten millions of dollars.
The howling of discharged officeholders,
the outcry of Rings depiived of their ac
customed plunder, the resentment of offi
cials thieves and their confederates at.
short appionriat ions, and the lying of thr
Administration about cripplingthe service,
only mean that honest and resolute men
have commenced n practical reform, which
cannot stop until the rotten and proliigate
system is torn up root and branch. The
close corporation that has been running
the (Government fjr sixteen years, and
would never admit outsiders to its secrets
or its dividends, is very much disturbed at.
he actual situation, arid a great ileal more
so at the outlook, which plainly reveals
that its days of power for evil are number
ed. It makes the blood mount up with hot
indignation to think how the ieopleof this
country have been cheated, robbed, be
trayed and misled during the last elevens
jeais of so called peace. If the saving of
the last session alone, forced through by a
Democratic Houso fiesh from the people,
bad been applied during the decade which
closed with I he depai tnreof I he Republican
majority from that body. 1he state of the
country would bo far diiTi-eut fiom what
it now is.
Leaving out of view entirely the moral
.fleets that would have resulted from econ
omy in national affairs, instead of the reck
less exti a vagance which has been in prac
tice, the material results alone are well
calculated to excite the deepest feeling at
the profligacy of the paily which origina
ted, erfi cted, and carried on the atrocious
system to which we have referred. This
rati. of reduction in ten years would have
j yielded a capital of thrco hundred millions
i of dollars, exclusive of interest !
JVopeily invest ed and applied, the fund
thus saved from extravagance or dishonesty
would have enabled the Government t.o re
sume payments in specie, would have ad
justed all our financial tionbles, would
have harmonized conllicting interests, and
would haro made the peoplo prosperous,
instead of being bank.upts and weighed
down by oppressive loudens. Thews arc
palpable, facts which cannot be disputed.
They put the responsibility of the present
bard times on the Republican naifv. and
they prove that retrenchment is the short j
and sure cut to reform. In view of this
demonstration, which I he plain people see
ami know to be. true, it is no wonder that
there is distrust of the uieu who brought
on this prevailing distress, and a loud and
geueral demand for a change of adminis
tration, of measures, and of men. Y. Y.

Tuts Plot to Cawbt Indiana. A
' Lover of Fair Play" from the Fourth
Ward, New Yoi k, writes as follows:
To the Editor of the World. Sir : On
Monday night, as many a man can be
found to make affidavit to, a gang went,
from the Fourth Ward, leaving it lo go to
Indiana. These men are sent there by the
Republicans, for what purpose can well be
understood. Now these men also are to
have their expenses paid there and back.
Mr. Editor, I think this an outrage upon
the intelligent and honest voters of the
whole country, and should be attended to
at once.
The Philadelphia correspondent of the
World writes fiom that city that picked
men are to bo sent from New York and
from Pittsburgh, and that they are to be
paid all expenses and $100 each in addition.
This scheme was actually worked in Ohio
at the election of Hayes and Allen last
year, with this variation, the bogus tickets
were adroitly dropped into the ballot-box
at intervals during the day, instead of
waiting until the boxes wero being empiied
for the purpose of emitting. The ballot
boxes in all of the cit ies and most of the
populous towns of Ohio, were worked in
that manner, and it. was by that process
alone that Hayes was enabled to sccuie his
majority over Allen. The Republicans in
portions of Ohio having been initiated in
this art. of manipulating the ballot boxes
last year, it is not considered necessary to
send as ma.iy men to that State this year,
but to turn their efforts to introducing the
science in Indiana. My informant admits
that he visited Ohio last year and helped
to instruct some of the local officials in the
execution of the Philadelphia scheme, as
lie calls it, but knpt himself out of reach on
elecliou day.
FnTotiTFO. Railroad Accident. A
terrible accident occurred at an early hour
on Friday morning last, at Blacklick sta
tion, on the Pan Handle road, about twelve
miles from Columbus, Ohio. The train
was running at a late of speed perhaps
forty miles an hour., when from 6ome
cause oi other four cars of the train jumped
the track, and rolled dox-n the embank
ment, which is some twenty-five or thirty
feet at that place. The engine, baggage
car and mail car remained on tho track,
while those in the rear went off. This
leads some to think the accident was caused
by a broken rail, whilo others are of the
opinion that it was caused by jumping the
track while making the curve. Tho cars
that went down the embankment are in a
terribly broken condition. One gentleman
who was on the t rain states that tho cars
are fine, enough to make kindling wood,
and that, there is not a single wheel on any
of the cars. Four persons are known to
have lieeii killed outright, two men and
two children. It is variously estimated
that there must have been leivcen thirty
and forty persons were more or less injuied !

The llepid llcnn l'anic.
There is a panic at Washington in tbo
Republican camp, in regaid u Ohio aud
Indiana, which is fast spreading to the io
Ittital cfuires iu the states. Cbuudlo.'s
recent vnot to this city for more money,
the luyslerous movements of bis confideu
tial agents, and tlie suddeuly changed out
look of tlie canvass in both bttites, berve to
explain the cause of alarm.
All accounts that pretend to be impartial
now agree that the Germans are diily con
soliciting Iheir strength on tne Tilden
ticket. Various causes have contributed
to this powerful accession.. The Germans
as a body are intelligent, frugal, indejeiid
ent, honesty, and for refoim. They favor
a policy which embodies these ideas more
than they do either party. Hence they
may be called a fluctuatiug force in our
polities, voting this year for one side and
the next for the other side, according to
changed conditions. They know what
Gov. Tilden lias achieved in this State,
arid they see in him a candidate fit to be
tiusted for genuine reform.
They know, too, that in the event of
Hayes's eh c ion, the influences which now
control the pa.ty would necessarily con
trol him, as they have held Grunt, who is
infinitely stronger and more self-willed.
The Germans, like other adopted citizens,
regard Hayes as completely identified with
a secret proscript.ive Know-Not hing or
ganization, which lias for its leading dogma
"the exclusion of all foreigners from oflico"
and nr toleration tor Catholics. They also
consider Haj-es as representing the fanaii
cal temperance interest, wh'ch the male
and female crusaders in Ohio cariied to an
extreme of folly, and as fa vo. ing sumpt nary
laws and other offensive legislation. These
reasons may be classed as partially per
sonal. They are operating not only iu
Ohio and Indiana, but in Wisconsin. Illi
nois. Michigan, Minnesota, and other States
of the West, as well as here in the East.
The Germans hold the balance of power
between tlie two parties in Ohio and Indi
ana. Within the. last ten da3's especially,
they have united in a manner to surprise
both Demoeiats and Republicans. The
drift is all one way now. t'arl Schurz has
completely lost his grip on his count iy
men, and lie feels the pangs of a false
position and of a ruined leadership. There
is no probability of a reaction before the
10th of October, and if the current sweeps
on as it is now doing in the West, there
will be a practical end of the campaign in
a fortnight.
No wonder they are panic stricken at
Washington, and that the most desperate
efforts are made to turn the tide into a
new channel. Frantic appeal wiil not.
stir I lie German vote this year ; and if the
Democratic managers w ho have charge of
the campaign here will do only half their
duty in bringing out the vote, in organiz
ing st every point, and in confronting
Chandler's intended trickery and frauds,
the election of Gov. Tilden may be pit
down as sure as any human event can bo.

even people with self respect and Christian I
proclivities listen to Ins ribaldry and blas
phemy without demur, in the hope that the

lo the understanding to call this mau ait j
oratoi. He is a man of evil impulses and !
bad passions, capable of influencing men
like himself and of attracting others of the
better sort, who come to his meetings be
cause the show is cheap and the entertain
ment comic. Pateut soap peddlers and

staple utterances of this model Hayes or

lack of the amenii ies of life that we most
find fault. His defects in this regard are
no doubt the legitimate lesult of early
tiaining or had associations. He is au
avowed unbeliever and a shocking blas
phemor of evotything a Christian holds
sacred. His attacks upon Mr. Tilden are
trivial in compai ison with his utterances
against tho God that made him. To en
nbie the reader to see what manner of man
this is that the Radical party a party
claiming all the morality and all the de
cency in the country delights to honor,
wo append an extract from a led tire de
livered by Rob Iugersoll a fow years ago r
"Search tlie records of the whole world,

None of his diatribes against Tilden aud
