Chairman Democratic .Standing Coiumittec
An anonymous circular has recently
been scattered broadcast throughout the
community, containing some severeand
unjust reflections upon Hon. James H.
Graham, in connection with the Presi
dent Judgeship of this district. We
have no desire to elevate this contempt
ible exhibition of petty malice in to more
importance than it deserves ; but it is
due to the cause of truth, and to the,
dignity and character of the Democratic
party; to state that .this circular is a
weak Invention of the enemy—written
by a Republican and published under
Eepublican'auspices. In the card we
published last week', from Wm. H.
Miller, Esq., Judge Graham’s competi
tor for the nomination, ha states that
this circular was issued without his
knowledge, and by one who is no way
interested in him as a candidate. We
have felt it our duty to say this much
in vindication of the members of the
Democratic party from the charge of
resorting to this species of electioneer
ing. . We have never known a docu
ment, such as the one referred to, to
have been issued by any of our candi
dates in the past, and we never expect
to see anything like it in the future. As
to the circular itself, we desire simply
to say that Judge Graham must indeed
have lived his life in vain in this com
munity, if such an assault as tills can
have any other effect than to increase
his chances for re-nomination. We
would say as, much if a similar attack
had heen wade upon Mr. Miller, and we
know that"each of the gentlemen prom
inently named for the Judgeship al
ways speak of each other in the highest
terms. ,J
The President of the United States,
on Wednesday, issued a proclamation
announcing the ratification of the Trea
ty of Washington by .the United States
and the Queen of Great Britain and Ire
land, and the exchange of ratifications,
at London between Minister Schenck
and Earl Granvil/o,
Senator Pinchbeck, of Louisiana,
has sued the New Orleans and Jackson
Railroad Company for $25,000 damages
for refusing- him a berth in a sleeping
car on account of his color.
TUT COLLECTION OF TAXES.
The records show that over eighty
thousand men are ediployed in the col
lection of the income tax. They are
chosen, not on account of their fitness
for the position they are called upon to
fill, but solely on account of their poli
tical relations to some Radical Con
gressman ‘or other official. Many of
them are destitute of business talent,
not a few lack honesty, and multitudes
of them are mere bummers and brawling
pot- house politicians, To keep up this
vast army of inefficient officials costs
the people many millions of dollars
every year, in one way and another.
The Revenue Department has been con
verted into an asylum, where many of
the worst men belonging to the Radical
party are pensioned off and supported
at the public expense. The masses of
-that, party-cannot -be--sa...completely
blinded by prejudice as not to see the
evils which exist, and we are sure that
thousands of them would gladly vote
to remedy the abuses which affect nil
classes of the community alike.
In our judgment the best and the
cheapest way to collect the taxes which
are necessary to support the general
government, would be to apportion the
amount among the several States, ac
cording to their ability to pay, and to
and in sueli a way as its authorities
might deem proper. The same officials
who collect the State and County taxes
could collect ail taxes levied for the
general government, and the. whole
army of/ederal officials might be thus
dispensed with. The States being re
sponsible, would hold the county offi
cials to a strict accountability, and they
would exercise a like restraint over
their subordinates. The people would
choose the men who would gather the
tax from them, and they would select
honest and capable persons. The Leg
islature of each State could apportion
the faxes in a more equitable manner
than Congress does, and the whole sys
tem being brought under the immediate'
view and control of the people, would
be vastly simplified, improved, and
cheapened.
One of the greatest curses of this
country is the increase of Federal office
holders which has taken place since the
Radicals obtained control of the general
government. This garden must now
be weeded out; and whole crops of use
less officials cut up by the roots. The
people are all interested in cheapening
the expenses of the government, and
they begin to see how they have been,
imposed upon. Let them apply the
remedy at the ballot box.
jgylf we may judge from the tone of
an editorial in the Press of York-, the
Democrats of York county are some
what demoralized. The Press appeals
to them hot to send Delegates to the
approaching County Convention who
can he bribed, and intimates very plain
ly that bribery has nominated men in
York county heretofore. The Press is,
correct in its views, and we are only,
sorry, that it did not make the same
appeals to the Democrats of York just
one year ago. We hope our friend will
continue ins appeals to the good men of
York county to weed put and repudiate
the corruptionists who have brought
disgrace upon the party. The great body
of the Democrats of York are a noble
set of men, but like honest Democrats of
some other counties, they have, without
knowing.it, on several occasions, per
mitted bad and corrupt men to speak
for and misrepresent them. Let the
remedy be applied at once, without any
attempt at disorganization.
Among the brilliant triumphs of Mr,
Grant’s administration must be reck
oned the organizntion of the new terri
tory of Columbia, with its Governor,
Legislature, and the-imposing array of
high dignitaries who have been selected
to conduct the imperial affairs of Wash
ington, Georgetown, and Ihelittle patch
of ground which formerly constituted
the District of Columbia; The govern
ment of the territory seems to have
been modelled on the system pursued
in the reconstruction of South Carolina
and other lately rebellious States. Mr.
Fred Douglass Was imported from Ro
chester via San Domingo to give to the
concern but he very soon
became disgusted with his associates,
and with his carpet-bag in his hand
took a new departure for his legitimate
home. The new territory commences
life with a debt of between three and
four millions of dollars, and which the
territorial authorities propose to imme
diately increase until it roaches propor
tions commensurate with their raagni
ficient ideas of territorial dignity. In
the mepntimo the tax paying citizens
of Columbia utter unpatriotic growls
about jobs, rings, and extravagance.
jjarMr. Jefferson Davis writes to the
Atlanta News that he has been falsely
reported in his Augusta as well as his
Atlanta speech. He had not tho most
remote idea of counseling any renewal
of armed resistance to the Government
of the United States, He says that he
expressly declared that, in saying the
South could wait, he only applied his
remark to the time for a removal of the
more obnoxious features of the recent
Congressional legislation. Above all,
he did not intend to counsel the people
of the South not to tolerate thesituatlon.
He looks wholly to the good sense of
the North for relief from the evils which
now oppress the Southern geople, and
not to any forced or factious opposition
•to facts as they now exist.
We are justly severe on the wretches,
the Thenaides, who follow the army
and strip the dead on the field of battle.
But what words of execration are there
for the base creatures who seek to rob
the heroes of the war of their fair fame?
These creatures are now busy in their
calumnies of Gen. McCandless. After
devoting three years, to the services of
the country, in the course of which his
bravery was illustrated on many a battle
field, he is denounced for not staying in
the service long enough by wretches
who never gave an hour to their coun
try, or one thought which was not bent
on plundering her.
The jury could not agree in the case
of MoQeehan, in which Mr. Vallandlg
ham was the (Counsel. He, it will be
remembered, .was demonstrating that
the man who was slain might fi.avo
killed himself accidentally in a pertain
way, .which unhappily proved possible
In Mr. Vallandigham’s own case. As
far as that went, Mr. Vailandigham
unhappily preyed hi 3 pojnt only too
clearly.
THE HE KLTX COMMITTEE,
Tlie “Southern Outrage Committee”
just at this time, are paying their re
spects to Alabama, endeavoring to make
out a case upon which to report upon
the reassembling of Congress. The Hon.
Richard Busteed, United States District
Judge for Alabama, who it will be re
mem jbered was an appointee of Mr. Lin
coln’s in ISfio, and an extreme Radical
partisan, was summoned before the
"ommittee on Friday last, and to their
astonishment and disgust, no doubt,
testified among other things, as fol
lows : ,
In reply toa question tw the chairman,
he said he had been told confidentially,
a year and a half ago, by a citizen of
Huntsville, that there was a Ku Klux
organization in the northern part of the
Stale. His informant, however, did not
tell him its,object, nor did he know from
any other source. He believed now that
there was no such organization in that
State: Havitlg bcen askeri whether there 1 '
was any danger to person or properly, be
replied that they were as'safe as in any
other Stale of the Union. Since the ad
ministration of Gov. Lindsay, and' the
retirement of Gov. Win. H..'Smith puh-
Ifc quiet and tranquility were .essentially
preserved.
As to the character of persons holding
subordinate official positions under the
.State constitution, he said it was gener
ally notoriously bad. both as to intelli
gence and honesty ; he had been in the
State aince 1563, have previously been
appointed Judge by President Lincoln ;
tne iaVvs‘di-ino-r»oh?*sn«HpP-Ao4bg. ad--
stance when the Republican Auditor of
the State disobeyed the injunction of the
court, for which he was fined and im
prisoned; the greatest respect was paid to
the jurors, and all other parties.
With regard to the feeling of the peo
ple towards the General Government, be
thought it was to obey the laws, however
' obnoxious they were, although there was
a deep seated conviction that they were
not equal and impartial. Having bepn
questioned as to the testimony of the Rev.
Mr. Lakin. parts of which wefe read to
him, he said it was entirely untrue. La
kin had represented that thirty-three
indictmenls hail been found in Busleed’s
court for violating the civil rights bill,
and had been tried, but the truth was
that only one indictment bad been found,
and that had not yet been.tried. On ex
p'arte inquiry il appeared to be a serious
case. Lakin is a man who is apt to make
wild statements without accnrate__ basis.
He hud charged the jury to obey the
laws, however distasteful, as it was with
in the power of Congress to enact them,
and it was for tlie best interests of the
community to respect them.
The above report of Judge Busteed’s
testimony we take from the columns of
Forney’s Press, and yet that paper, in
common with the entire Radical press
of the country is daily perverting facts
in relation to the conduct and feeling of
the Southern people, bolstering up by
Infamous falsehoods their rapidly fail
ing cause, and attempting to sustain
their political temple upon a foundation
of hatred, malevolence and bad-blood
engendered between the sections.
Grant spent a day in Washington
trying to catch up the “raveled threads”
of the administration, and then made
haste to get back to Long Branch for
the races and other jollities. He has
directed Attorney General Ackerman
to define the duties belonging to the
respective offices held by Boutweli and
Pieasonton, and has informed the an
tagonistic officials that he will expect
them to square their conduct to the
rules laid down. If Ackerman should
not show a eiearer head in this than ho
has exhibited in other matters, the
quarrel will only he aggravated, and
Grant may be compelled to endure the
fatigue"of another trip tp Washington,
a city in which Democratic Presidents
found it possible to live the year round.
The Radicals of Pennsylvania are
far from being a harmonious party.—
The old feud between the adherents of
Cameron and Curtin is breaking out
like an eruption in various places. In
Philadelphia, the ticket which was set
up by a corrupt ring, is openly repu
diated by a majority of tho Republican
journals. And ■ now comes the news
that the old quarrel in Huntingdon be
tween Senator Scott and a large element
of bis party is raging with more than
its former bitterness. In all the squab
bles of the Radicals there does not seem
to be any principle involved. That is
something the leaders of that faction
know not. They fight for the spoils of
office, and for nothing more noble.
Phii.adelphia Nominations.— The
Democrats of Philadelphia have com
pleted the ticket by putting up the
most unexceptionable men for every
city and county office which is to be
filled in October. Nothing can prevent
them from being elected, except it be
the most outrageous frauds under the
provisions of the Registry Law, which
tho Radicals of the Legislature refused
to amend. Bill Mann would not now
be a candidate for District Attorney if
he did not expect to put himself and
his comrades in crime into official po
sition by the use of the foulest means.
The Democrats of Philadelphia must
see to it that the designs of the villains
are defeated.
The owners of (pal estate in the city
of Washington, held a large meeting on
Thursday night, for the piMttse of pro
testing against the gigantic scheme of
robbery which has been concocted by
the Legislative Council. The project
appropriates nearly five million dollars
in such a way as to give the best pos
sible chance for plundering the City
Treasury. Two-thirds of the property
of the district was represented at the
meeting, but it -is not known whether
tho protest of the tax-payers will I e
heeded by the gang of harpies who are
anxiously waiting to seize upon their
prey. Wherever the Radicals have the.
control evtravaganco and corruption
prevail. ,
The Sharon Times of a late date says:
“We are gratified to see with what
a hopeful enthusiasm the Democracy
everywhere look forward to the election
next fall. Ourtipkpt is accepted by the
masses of the party as the very one to
whose support they can rally enthusias
tically, while the platform is just the
one.they have long wanted. Indeed,
we have received so many encouraging
assurances that we now look upon the
election of the Democratic ticket as • a
foregone conclusion. We earnestly hope
that the nominations made by the party
for county officers will be such as to
increase the ardor which already pre
vails.
Free Beer triumphed in Boston on
Friday week by a large majority. The
vote was small, which will be held by
the prohibitionist's to leave the question
still opep ppcj unsettled. The vote in
faverof the sale of beer was 7,421 ; In
opposition 1,405. This indicates grppt
weakness on the part of tlio'prohibition
ists in .one.of their boasted strongholds.

ever may be the result in Ohio this fall,
we shall not lose hopes of carrying that

the next Presidency. New Jersey, an
old Democratic State, was carried by
the Radicals last .year.cn account of a

are that she will be all right in 1872. —

her in the Democratic column. __ No

THE FUTURE INDICATED.
The fact has been generally known
for a long time that Beast Butler la
about to seek the nomination of the
Bepublican party in Massachusetts for
Governor, but none of the politicians or
party press have until now brought his
name prominently before the people.
The Newburyport Herald, published in
Butler’s district, has finally spoken in a
leader, of three columns’ length, and
boldly nominates the Beast on a new
departure Bepublican platform. The
article reviews the present political sit
uation in the country, and establishes,
to its own satisfaction, that the old is
sues of the war are now settled, and will
not do to go into a new campaign with;
The future is Ipdicated in the following
paragraphs:
“The fact that the new departure of llie
Democracy baa met with such general
acceptance is not to be construed within
these narrow limits. Other considera
tions are to betaken Into account. With
the changed circumstances of the times
there Js a change in the relation of par
ties, both to the country and to each
other. The Democratic party is no longer
a party of mere' negotiations; it has dis
tinctive principles and ideas of its own,
and they are unmistakably such as com
mand popular sympathy and support.
While, moreover, it has no responsibility,
it has all the advantages of a party in
opposition. On the other band, we find
the Republican cause encumbered and
embarrassed by systems and measures
that are obnoxious to the people, preju
dicial to their material interests, and, !u
some respects, it is seriously believed by
many, inimical to the safety of the gov
ernment. Its pristine principles are still
discernible. It is true, to the eye of a loyal
party faith ; but that they have been
sadly compromised and obscured by sel
fish and secondary interests there is no
one so partisan- to deny. What Is worst
of all, the evils to which we refer have
grown up in such a way that the Repub
lican party Is held to be responsible for
themselves, which must be abolished and
cured, or the days of the party are num
bered, and ought to be, and of which we.
enumerate, ns among the most intoler
able, a financial system under which
capital is aggregated, and Industry re
pressed, and which, levying tremendous
taxes; discriminates against the many in
favor of the few; atariffincomprebenslble
in its exactions; a prodigal waste of the
public lands in the interest of railroad
jobbers and speculators, whereby a mo
nopoly lias been developed to so great an
extent that it is questionable in some
instances which is the stronger, the gov
ernment itself or its creatures, the cor
porations—these and other kindred evils,
excrescences upon the party of the last
ten years, and perhaps unavoidable as
such in the rank growth of a time of war,
but for which no party can he held to
answer save that which has had charge
of the government during that period*of
time-
“We apprehend that the Republican
leaders generally do not fully realize how
profoundly the people are moved upon
these'subjects. Whether It is generally
understood or not, these are the questions
upon which the campaigns of the imme
diate future are to be fought, till they are
as effectually set at rest as haye been the
questions of the war.”
ISySenator Trumbull was the Fourth
of July orator at Galesburg, 111. He
rejoiced at the conclusion of the Treaty
of Washington, said that “ the right of
women to participate in the govern
ment of the country, whenever they ask
it, can’t be denied,” contended against
the exercise of the war power in time
of peace, and declared that ‘‘an attempt
has been made to clothe the Executive
with too much power and centraliza
tion.” This, he said, was the great
danger of the .Republic; and '‘ liberal
and kindly action on the part of the
General Government was now needed
to heal the wounds of the Sout(i.”
Moue Ku Klux.— On Saturday last
tweuty-flve.armed negroes went to the
plantation of Angus Red, in Barnwell
county, Sopth Carolina, about 12 miles
below Augusta, op tlje Savannah river,
Arriving at Red’s residence, the party
fired a volley into it, killing Thomas A,
Lowe, and seriously wounding Red and
his wife and, mother. The alleged capso
of tins raid and murder was the dis
charge of a negro band for stealing.

•• ADMIRABLE.”
We hear-n great deal said just now
by tlio Radical leaders about the admi
rable financial system of the country.
This admirable system bleeds the peo
ple annually In taxes to the amount of
$800,000,000- In fact a revenue of $250,-
000,000 annually would fully meet all
'requirements for Federal purposes if
the government were economically ad
ministered, and reduce flic principal of
the debt $25,000,000 a year besides. The
Interest charge is now-aboutsni,ooo,ooo,
land after this year it ought not to ex
ceed $105,000,000. The charge for pen
sions is about $28,000,000, and probably
will not be much less for several years.
By reducing the military establishment
to a strictly peace footing and disband
ing the noble army of office-holders,
the Ordinary expenditures might be
brought, down to $80,000,000i The al-
is-'-ainple-to ■
cover the increased expenditures' on
account of inflation andadditioual civil
service necessary for the collection of
internal revenues. 'We have then a total
of $213,000,000 actually required for all
purposes, and a revenue of $250,000,000
would give a margin of $37,000,000 to
cover contingencies and discharge the
principal of the debt. This “admirable
system” the Eadicals do not propose to

nal of a young lady in Virginia, who in
1772 visited the Lees-and Washingtons
on the Potomac, gives a different idea
of the Father of his Country from that
which has been generally, entertained:
"t must tell you our frolic, after wo weuttoour
room. We took it intoourheads to want to eat.
Well, wo had a large dish of bacon and beef; af
ter that a bowl of sago cream; and after that an
apple pie. While we were eating the apple pie
in bed—God bless vou! making a great noise—.
In came Mr. Washington, .dressed In Hannah’s
short'gown and petticoat, and seized and kissed
me twenty times, in spite of all the resistance 1
could make, and then cousin Molly. Hannah
soon followed, dressed in his coal. Theyjoined
us in eating the apple pie, and then went out.—
After this we took it into our heads to want to
eat oystern. We got up, put on our wrappers,
and went down into the cellar to get them. Do
you think Mr. Washington did not follow, us
and scare us just to.deatn? Wewentup,though,
and eat our oysters. We slept In the old lady’s
room, too, and she sat laughing lit to kill her*,
self at us. (Wonder where the pickles were?)”
If this were not published in an au
thoritative manner, we should doubt
its authenticity. The .idea of George
Washington dressed in a woman’s short
gown and petticoat going with another
Woman dressed in his coat into the bed
room of some young ladies who were
sitting up in bed at night eating bacon
and beef, sago cream and apple pie, and
joining in the frolic, is something as
tonishing.. satisfied with this, it
seems that when the young women af
terward went down to the cellar to get
some oysters to complete their banquet,
Washington followed them and seared
them nearly to death. We are afraid
that our sterotyped conception of Wash
ington’s character will have te be con
siderably modified by tliese revelations.
There is a first-class row now going
on among the Alabama Badicais. Gen.
Grant has just turned .one Dr. Miller
out of the Mobile Custom'House, and
appointed ex-Senator Warner. A large
delegation of Miller’s friends came to
Washington to see Grant about it, but
he had returned to Long Branch. They
declare thpt Grant promised most posi
tively that Doctor Miller should not be
disturbed. The feeling against Grant
is very bitter, and the Bepublican party
in Alabama is torn by dissension, and
on the Verge of dissolution.
jgrOur Democratic brethren in the
different counties of this State are en
tering the field in fine style, and the
indications are that they will make a
gallant fight. Good tickets have already
been nominated in some counties, and
in others pur friends are preparing to
act. All seem sanguine of success. In
our own county we have the material
from which to make an excellent ticket,
and when made we shall give a.good
account of ourselves. In the meantime,
“ push on the column” for McCandless
and Cooper !
The Democratic party is for a gov
ernment for the. people, and by the
people, dn which power goes through
accredited representatives, who, being
responsible to the people for a proper
discharge of the trust, are chosen to
reflect public sentiment and enact laws
in accordance therewith. The Baclical
party would organize a strong central
government, that would wield a, kingly
power and send down its mandates to
control the masses consolidated into one
grand scheme, with States existing only
in name.
ISy-The whole policy of the Admin
istration, and of the leaders ofthe party
which it represents, has been to provoke
resentment; to excite discord; to stimu
late animosity, and, if possible, to bring
about a collision, as an excuse for mil 1-
tary occupation of the South, and as a
means of excluding its votes at the next
Presidential election. A conspiracy for
this purpose, and looking to these very
results, has been deliberately formed by
desperate and designing managers, who
to promote their own selfish ambition,
would willingly precipitate the.country
into another, civil war. In fact, the
tendency qf all thpir schemes is in that
direction now.
In Connecticut, the Democrats are
urging a revision of the Legislative di
visions of that State. In support of such
a course, they state that while the four
counties of New Haven, Fairfield, New'
London and Middlesex, with a popula
tion of three hundred thousand, have
only one hundred and twelve members
in tbe Legislature, the four counties of
Hartford, Litchfield, Windham and
Tolland, with a population of only two
hundred and twenty thousand, haveone
hundred and twenty-seven members.
Of course the Radicals will oppose the
change, as by the present system they
hold the Legislature pf the State against
the will of the people.
Fop every twenty dollars the people
of the United States pay in the shape of
a tariff on iron, nineteen dollars go into
'the pockets of the monopolists and one
dollar into the public treasury. In the
year 1888 the people of the United States
paid, in the shape of a tariff on iron, the
sum of $14,880,000 in gold, of which the
government received $744,800, and the
monopolists $14,141,700 ns n bounty by
the way of protection. This was paid
by those who used nails, chains, spades",
hoes, axes, plows, harrows, horse-shoes,
wagons, carts, and in short everything
made of or having iron about it.

The disgraceful proceedings enacted
during the sessions of the Radical notn
inating conventions in Philadelphia are
thus reported by the Ledger, an inde
pendent journal with strong Radical
proclivities: .
“Upon re-nesemblina, the room was
crowded with an excited mob, whose
uproarious Conduct entirely prevented
the transaction of, business, and it was
twice found necessary to clear the ball
before order could be restored. Finally,
the committee on contested seats return

met with much opposition.deiegates from -
all parts of the bail accusing the commit
tee of unfairness. .
“During the counting of the ballot the
scenes enacted were of the moat disgrace
ful character, and the President in vain
appealed for order. There were flV t e dif
ferent fights on the floor of the conven
tion, black jacks were freely used, and,
the officers Intimidated and insulted. As
the names of delegates were called, other
persons in the room woqld personate

the business was several times necessarily,
suspended. All kinds of irregular and
disorderly motions were made, but the
ballot was persevered in, and resulted
finally as follows : Hancock; 192; Moore.
114.
Mr. Hancock, was declared by the
President to be the regular nominee of
the Republican party for the office of
City Controller. Several young men then
jumped on the platform, and seizing the
records of the secretaries, made off with
them. Several of the delegates were quite
badly injured about the head during tlfe
fights referred, to. After the announce
ment of the nomination it was proclaimed

fusion and excitement toe Convention
was declared adjourned, sine die,"
Piety and Politic*.
Eev. J. P. Newman, of the Metro-,
politan M. E. Church, of Washington,
D. C., is one of those preachers who
thinks more of providing for himself
and friends the good things of this
world, rather than expounding the
gospel and converting sinners. So in
behalf of “Brother” Harlan,- Senator
from lowa, he writes the following:
. ■* , Washington, D. C., V
• . April 25. 1871. /
Dear Brother i-As a mutual friend. I drop
you a few earnest words In behalf of Senator
Harlan’s re-election to the United States Senate.
Yon know the importance of- early and earnest
action. The members elected to the next Leg
islature elect the next Senator. It Is, therefore,
necessary that the right men be nominated,'
and hence attention must be given to the pri
mary meetings.
I am glad to say to you that Senator Harlon is
regular in his attendance at church, and his in
fluence is in the right direction. I know per
sonally that he stands high with the Adminis
tration, and has influence with the President,
and is held fn high esteem by his fellow-sena
tors.' His speech on San Domingo hosglven him
an elevation few Senators enjoy. Hoping that
yon will in all satiable ways interest yourself
for Mr. Harlan, I am, truly yours,
J.P.Newman.
When Senator Harlan was first elect
ed to Congress he was poor in this
world’s gqpds, now he is rich—the most
of which he acquired during the time he
acted ns Secretary of the Interior under
Lincoln. He has been repeatedly ac
cused of prostituting his office and of
jobbing in the Senate by his own party
papers, but he has never condescended
to notice them. It is not all strange that
such a character should have .the en
dorsement of a political preacher such
as Dr. Newman has proved himself to
bo.
■ It is the Louisville Courier-Journal
that says, now that California has sent
Grant a magnificent palace ear, he will
never be happy until somebody makes
him a present of a railroad!
JS?*ln compliance with the call of the
Chairman, the Democratic Standing
Committee met in the arbitration room
on Saturday. The resolution heretofore
adopted, forbidding candidates from
canvasing, was rescinded, after which
the Committee adjourned.
The Democratic press throughout the
State exhibits the greatest unanimity
in thoroughly endorsing the nomina
tions made at the State Convention.
The Bepublican State Convention
endorsed Grant and his jobberies. The
Bepublican nominees of the State and
county will have to dance to that tune.

Another I.etter on National Teanca nnU
the Condition of tho South.
[From tho Augusta (Ark.) Bulletin.]
Some short time since we wrote a let
ter to this gentleman upon political mat
ters, expressing among other things, the
apprehension that, with Grant’s vast
patronage, most unscrupulously used, he
would not yield the Presidential chair,
even if defeated before the people in 1872;
and that our Republic, like Its predeces
sors of old, is so rapidly drafting into the
channels of corruption that the people.
In despair, may look to oho military lea
der as the only means' of saving them
from thejitter ruin threatened by anoth
er. This was the general scope of our
letter, to which the following is a reply.
It will be seen that Mr. Adams, who
regresents the anti-Badicai party of
New England, indorses the Valiandig
ham and the question with the
South is, can she' save herself if she
throws off her friends in New England.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the other States?
They “accept the situation,” not because
it is right and just, but because it is im
posed upon them by a force they cannot
resist. Bead Mr. Adams’ letter:
Quincy, Mass., June 5,1871
Dear Sir: ■ I cannot pass.over silent
ly a letter which gratifies me as much as
yours, which I received to-day; and yet
I feel shy pf speaking to you or any citi
zen of the “subject States.” I dislike to
earn the retort, “Oh, it is very easy to
preach; but suffer as we have and then
tell us how you feel, and we will listen."
I do not try to take it home to myself,
and I no not doubt ihac in similar cir
cumstances I sbould be to-day an “unre
pentant rebel,” sqre, angry, beaten and
defiant. And with me it would doubt
less have been as It has been with you,
that “the tender mercies of reconstruc
tion have been harder to bear than all
the horrors of an invasive war.” X
should have been galled by misgovern
ment, robbed by Imparted knavery of
the pittance which the war had spared;
exasperated by wilful and persistent mis
representation, and- oruelty condemned
to hopeless impotence for the imputed
guilt of cowardly crimes I nbhored. I
should have been condemned, too, to
bold my personal liberty at the end of a
mercenary carpet-bagger or the military
satrap. I say that I fear I should have
been an “Irreconcilable.” In such a case
I think I should be sulky; but I know/I
should be silly if I yielded to the feeling.
For, whence must my relief come if my
last estate is not to become worse than
the first ? Is there a man outside an asyl
um who thinks that by such a course the
“lost cause” can be regained? Ry whom,
then ? If the North, believe me that the
experiment of secession has satisfied us
that no cause is worth a civil war. That
war has confirmed, beyond a Shadow of
a turning! the destiny which decreed
thbt there should be but one confedera
ted people of the North American Union.
No. Rebellious I might be; but weak
enough to await the ’ resurrection of se
cession I do not think I could be. You
and I and your friends and neighbors
and mine are of one blood; we were once
“fellow-citizens,” and the old-time kind
ness must Unger yet, in spots, tiur fath
ers were “bietbren,” and that must
count for something. The whole politi
cal problem of tbe future turns upon the
answer to the question, “Khali we live
together as friends or enemies?” Now,
the whole internal policy of the present
administration says war. Reconstruc
tion- meant war; and the Ku.Klu’x bill'
declared war. This Union is now held
together by force. Certainly, if this is to
be permanent, It would have been better
to have parted at first. I f
to east out slavery overthrew the CpnsU
tutlon, what chance Is there for a free
government, If the North 1s to rule the
South? South Carolina la to day the
most shameless parody on republican In
slitutloUß since republican Borne bestrode
all the nations of the ancient world, put
the sword to their throala, stripped them
bare, and then lacked words to laud the
loveliness of liberty. You cannot be sub
lect and we be lone free. The untram
melled exercise of local self-government
by the people of the States Is,'the salt
which preserves our whole system . Take
that away and our frame of polity wut
soon rot Into despotism. Therefore, It Is
that, not as h partisan, but wholly as a
fellow citizen, I trust that all the good
citizensof the seceded States will frankly
and honestly acbept the revolutionary
changes which have been forced upon
the constitution, and with them cheer
fully adopt the now relations of amity
and political equality toward the eman
cipated class which these changes In
volve. And. therefore, I am glad when
<1 see the noble spirit of your lettdr per
vading the Southern people -as it does,
despite the malignity of a partisan press,,
■while the-sterling-sense of-Mr.-Val lan,-.

K.ETTER FROM FRANCE.
U. Si£. Guekrierre,
Mareallles, France, Feb. 23, 1871.
, j Dear Sir —l am Inclined to believe
that tbe mall service between this and
the U. 8. Is somewhat uncertain, for I
certainly have written more letters than
you have received. However, we can't
expect ranch better during the troubled
times in this country.
After making some necessary repairs
and coaling ship,-we left Lisbon fop-VU
la Franche, where, we expected to meet
the “Franklin,” the flagship of (he Eu-
ropean squadron. We coasted along in
sight of laud, past cape St. Vincent, in
sight of Cadiz, between the famous “Pil
lars of Hercules” into the straits of Gib-
raltar, and passed the rock of Gibraltar
during the night. In the morning the
snow capped summits of the Sierra Ne
vadas, on . tbe southern coast of Spain,
loomed up in the far distance. We ran
along with favoring winds until we pans*
ed Cape DeGatta, when the breeze.be
came adverse, and we had to steam, the
remainder of the way against a head
gale. Had the usual ugly weather in
the Qulf of Lyons. The gale continuing,
opr captain resolved to put Into Toulon,
about CO miles from Nice. We went iu
there about two o’clock in the' morning,
and from the fuss there was made tbe
Frenchman must have thought a Prus
sian fleet was at band. Signals were
made in every were
beating on shore, and lights flying about
their batteries, and everything indicated
excitement and . alarm. We were in
danger of being fired into, but they coon
made out who we were and quiet restor
ed.
In the morning, before tbe health offi
cer came abbard, we sent a boat with our
stewards ashore, and theauthorities rais
ed a row about it. Our. Commander be
came incensed, so we up anchor and put
to sea for. Villa Franche.. Arrived in Vil-
Je Franche safely and found there the
Franklin, Juniata, and Plymouth, tbe
latter vessel having on (board six of our
class who had come out last July. You
may imagine how glad they weie to
see us and what eager inquiries were
made about home and friends. I knew
many of tbe others on board tbe other
ships. So had a delightful time.
Villa Franche is only three miles from
Nice, situated* in* the Southeastern -part
of France. Nice is celebrated for its ol
ives and its delightful climate/ Here, as
in all parts of France, wine Is found of
all kinds, and in the utmost profusion.—
So cheap that .the poorest may drink, it
seems that almost as much vinuous juice
is consumed as a beverage as water. The
scenery about Nice Is magnificent.—
There high mountains, tbe tops white
with snow tower grandly to the clouds.
Here in tbe valleys, in tbe shadow of
those proud old hills, are orange and
lemon gro\eB, .tbe trees burdened with
ripe fruit, the air heavy with their de
licious and balmy perfume. There win
ter, here Summer.
The roil road here is a master piece of
engineering skill where it runs, along
the coast. High walls are built up in
places, and then a spur of the mountain
Is tunneled. A very expensive work,
and one that hardly pays. Prom Ville
Franche to Meuton, about 30 miles, there
are fifteen tunnels through solid rock;
and between V. Franche and Nice there
are ftwo, one of them about two miles
long. I don’t recollect anything In the
U; 8. that equals this. '
Quite a number ot American families
are spending the winter in Nice, enjoy
ing the equable temperature and purfe
air. Hops are given weekly onl hoard
the Franklin, and are always well at
tended from ashore. We gave a little
dance just before we left; but It was spoil
ed by the departure of the “Plymouth”
and “Juniata” in the midst of the fun.—
The Plymouth bound for Malaga, and
the Juniata for Tunis. Both vessels left
at the same time, their officers, or neaaly
•all of them, were aboard of us, and as
their vessels came abreast of us they bid
us good bye, stepped into their boats, and
as they shoved off the band struck up
“The girl I left benlnd me.” then as
they mounted the sides of their ships
“Should Auld Acquaintances, as
“Auld Long Syne” was pealing over the
calm, quiet bay, so still In jtlie starlight,
l Uotlocd that some of our fair Amerl r
cans bad to stop waving their handker
chiefs to wipe away the tears that would"
gather in their eyes'. How ah old famil
tune will affect us when far away from
home, and an air well known to our ears
since childhood recall scenes and inci
dents far,,for away. Some of the young
er officers of the departing vessels had
cultivated an intimacy with certain of
the demoiselles, and perhaps that made
the parting a little sad; but whether the
poor fellows felt disconsolate, or whether,
at the next port, they would seek out a
new face, I leave* you to imagine. Tou
know the old saw aboutsallors and sweet
hearts.
While lying In Ville Franche General
Sheridan visited our fleet and was re
ceived with all honors. Had fleet exer
cise and boat exercise and all that for bis
benefit.
While lying and Nice there was quite
an excitement. It appears thq police
seized a* newspaper: the friends of the
paper assembled about the Prefecture
and stoned it; the police fired on the
crowd and the brown did likewise to the
police. All the sailors on the French
iron clads were sent up to Nice, and two
gunboats anchored off the place to shell
it in case of necessity. The disturbance
lasted about a week! and quiet was only
restored after considerable trouble. The
French, to use a common expression, are
about “played out.” Prussia ha% the
country in cow, and it is no
The people here in Southern France ap
pear to be a lazy, unpatriotic set. The
streets of Nice and Marseilles are crowd
ed with stout, able bodied-men, who sent
boys, into the army in their stead. Ail
they care for, is a good dinner, plenty to
sfimfl-Pn_e.to_pay_tho fiddler.
Since we have been here I have bad
my eyes opened to the unwelcome fact
that the United States would have an
extremely small show in case of a foreign
war, and, that we are reduced below the
most insignificant power in Europe, as
regards a Navy, Spain, Italy, and Por
tugal, countries head-over-ears in debt,
support an iron clad navy that could
blow our vessels out of water. In a for
eign war the .navy would be our main
and only reliance. This needs no dem
onstration. No nation wouldatterapt to
invade us, nor could we invade another
country, so the war must be on the water.
Every little power has belter navy yards
than any weean boast. Italy has, at Spi
ezza, a yard far superior to the Brooklyn
yard. It has seven large docks, and we
have one. We are fond of telllng'iif our
prowess, hut wo are now sadly behind,
and It cannot be denied for the truth i •
too plain to be disputed. American tour
lets and travelers rant and dilate nbiw’
our superiority, ability, strength 4.
but they dont know the truth or the,'
would be ashamed to open their mouth, -
Our commercial marine is worse (hi.
