Some Consolation. Tho Philadel
phia Xorth American believes that
Whipper, Moses, Patterson, and the
rest of tho plundering gang who Infest
South Carolina, wero sent there as a
punishment for the sins and fully of her
people, and meekly accepts theilccrpCR
of Providence.
Still the Same. Grant went to
hear Moody and Hankoy when in Phila
delphia two weeks ago, looking at tho
Centennial arrangements, but nn ex
change remarks that in threo days
after his return to Washington ho was
as bad ns ever. His most intimato
friends givo him up for lost.
Radical Morality. Tho memlwrs
of the whisky ring, like tho Povil, were
nblo to nuoto Scripture when it served
their purpose. Whenever im agent of
tho Treasury Department was about
to start out on an investigating' tour
ho would telegraph to tbo distillers
and gungers, "Isaiah xl, 4," and they,
knowing that ho was coming to make
"crooked" straight, would prepare to
"sec" him.
Another I!ki.ative. Tho rule ol
nepotism at the White House has in no
sense abated. Tho President has
just promoted his nephew by marriago,
Second Lieutenant Campbell, of tho
Twenty-second infantry, to a vacant
assistant quartermastersbip over tho
heads of a dozen other young officers
of tho army who woro struggling for
promotion. Lieut. Campbell has been
a relative only a few months. Grant's
son-in-law, Saintoris, will no doubt bo
made a ilajor General somo of theso
days if Queen Victoria will givo him up.
Dried I' p. An industrious reporter
of tho Now York Sun tried to draw out
Gen. Sherman on tho question whether
tho sectarian issues would affect tho
next Presidential election, and got the
following reply from tho General :
I wouldn't for tba world tar word about tbat.
It in a thing about which people ought not to
peak, or aren to tbink. I believe In the Comli
Itilino of Ibe I'nlled State, and the Tea Cora
tnnndmeat.. That'i enough for me.
The General may not know as much
about war as Col. Fred. Grant, but ho
is sound on tho Ten Commandments
(the Golden Rule) and the fundamental
law of tho nation.
A Specimen Kancal "Brick."
Goorgo Lear, recently appointed At
torney General by Gov. Ilartranft, was
a member of tho Constitutional Con
vention two years ago, and ho was so
"put out" about the now Constitution
that ho refused to sign that instrument
even nftor it had been adopted by the
people by a majority of l H,flfl(). We
. wonder whether he took an oath to
support it when he entered upon the dis
charge of his official duties under it, or
whether he liascommencod business "on
his ow n hook" and wholly ignored tho
parchment
A Small Oitraoe Mill. South
Carolina has beenmo the scene of an
other outrngo, but 1Mb time tho Demo
crats aro not "tho fellers what did it."
Therefore there is no howl along tho
liadical lino. Tho outrngo is, that tho
legislature elected somo judges, two ol
whom, a white fellow nnmed Moses and
a negro named Whipper, aro so in-
famously corrupt and low-lived that
even tho Rmlical Governor can't swnh
.low them. Ho denounces tho rascals
in fiercest terms, and refuses to com
mission thorn. What glorious Iruit
wo do pluck from Radicalism !

An Expositor. Tho Now York
Herald has set out on a general expose
of secret societies which it thinks aro
of a political character, or bias. Theso
Orders dispute the charge, but tho
Herald sticks to it and goes for them'.
Having dono up the Order of the T'nitcd
Americans, it paid its attention a few
days ago to tho Order of tho United
Amorican .Mechanics, anil published
what it claimed to bo an exposo of tho
initiation, grip, signs and passwords
of tho Order. As it has tho Patriotic
Order Sons of America down in its list,
wo may expect next that it will do np
that Order by turning it insido out.
Just how they get hold of theso things
is past tiny fellow's finding out but a
paper that sends an explorer to Africa,
and docs other such during things,
Intighs nt the secrecy of most societies,
and finds a way to got at them and
publish what it wants if there only bo
an incentive sullicicnt to start them
on tho job.
The 0i.ii Scandal to nn Renewed.
Mr. Frank Moulton has instituted,
through his counsel, General Roger A.
Pryor, a civil suit in tho Supremo
Court of Brooklyn, for 150,0(10 dnmngos
against Rev. llonry Ward lleccher.
Only a singlo question will bo at issue
in tho coming suit. This will bo tW
truth or falsity of Mr. Moulton's alle
gation that Mr. lieecher had commit
ted adultery with Mm. Tilton. ror
tho determination of this question, Mrs.
Tilton will be a vital witness, and will
bo called, as well as a number of others
whoso testimony wus excluded on t'io
great trial. On tho other hand, the
quostion of Mrs. Tilton's character not
being in any way at issue, tho testi
mony of a large number of witnesses
produced ut tho Tilton-Beechcr trial
will not ho competent. Tho trial will
therefore bo a brief one, and It is an
ticipated that it will not occupy over
two weeks' titno.
A Government Movement. Nows
from Washington soems to indicate
that Grant will turn off both Fish and
Bristow tho former for preventing
him from making a war on Spain, and
the lat tr fi r imprisoni ng his" crooked "
whisky ring butties. Grant wants to
get np a war to cause an excitement
among the pcnplo and call their atten
tion away from tho huge robberies per
petrated by his confederates, which
arc now being brought to light by a
few honest men In his employ, and who
expect to be assisted by a Democratic
Congress. There are a few officials in
the ranks ot tho opposition who have
become ashamed of the larcenies per
petrated on tho people by a Godless
crew which has infested every depart
ment of lh Government, both Stifle
and national, lo tho disgrace of civiliza
tion. . '
A Grand Fizzle. Tho '7(5 conven
tion, held at Tyrono Inst week, wus
the greatest " State firzle" ever enacted.
Wm. J. Hemphill, cx-mcmbcr nl tho
legislature, assessor, revenue collector,
general Radical political manager, etc.,
of this ootinty, was tho substitute for
Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, and our cor
pulent and discreet friend, Mr. Hum
phrey, superseded Judgo Kellcy. A
few other small potatoes woro thrown
in to make u p tho delegation of WO R IC
ING MKN from this county. If work
ing men and reformers are made out
of this kind of stuff, wo aro greatly
mistaken and must unlearn a great
deal. Not one of tho delegates from
this town has dono a ilny'.i work in
the past five yeurs, and yet they assume
to regulate tho working man's affairs.
What hypocrisy and demagogism.
Poon Fellow I Tho editor of tho
Wnrrcn Mail, E. Cowan, who has hold
a clerkship under Congressman Sco
field for twelve years, has been turned
out to piutturo by tho Democratic
Congress. Ho was a stay-at-homo pa
triot during tho war, but now bo
puckors up his patriotism in this way :
The maimed bey in blue art lent to the rear,
while the boya in gray are ealled to the front.
Cowan rover smelled powder, yet
in tbo whole Iwelvo years ho novor
offered his 2,000 desk (with only four
hours work per day) to a maimed boy
in blue. Now, since ho is kicked out,
lie is hunting up "tho boys in blue!"
Get out,you hypocrite? Your patriot
ism is loo thin and comes too late to
prove of any virtuo whatever.
Another. It has been discovered
that tho account of tlu !adical Treas
urer Bork, of Buffalo, New York, is

Charles Korhoff, in the oharaotor of
a Alothodist layman, enters a ringing
protest against the efforts of any Jloth
odist Bishop to commit the Church to
a third term, llo says that Bishop
Haven has dono a great deal at tho
South to widen tho biviteh between
Northern and Southern Methodists,
and to weaken the- bond of brother
hood between tbo sections, or nt least
to increase causes of Irritation. Ho
closes tt letter to The Herald on the
subject by a sharp complaint of tho
conduct of Methodist clergymen, in
endeuroring to use their influence nt
tho While House for political purposes,
llo says of this course : "It seems to
mo dishonorable, and they have un
doubtedly and within my own painful
experience brought contempt and dis
grace upon tho Methodist numo by
by such misconduct. 1 n my judgment
and in that of inuny other Methodists
the lavor in which our more prominent
clergy have been held ut the Whito
House, and consequently in tho de
partments, during a number of years,
has had an evil influence upon them,
and has worked badly for the Church.
For my part I should bo vory happy
if tho next President should prove to
have an unoonquorablo aversion to all
Methodist clergymen. It would bo a
fortunato thing for tho denomination."
Centennial Movements. An ox
change says : Thero was a grand time
at Trenton last Monday, celebrating
tho ninety-ninth anniversary of Wash
ington's i famous passage of tho Dela
ware and his early morning nttnek
upon the Hessians. A sham battle
was fought in which Goorgo was rep
resented by a inujestio looking Jersey
man, and tho full details of . tho real
battle wero carried out. Thero was
somo difficulty in getting men to play
Hessian lor tho occasion, but it was
overcome by Importing a few hundred
hisbanded Pilgrims from Philadelphia.
Tho editor of the llai risbnrg Tcl graph
was offered tho command of tho "foreign
mercenaries," but declined. Tho-cos-lunies
wero historically correct, and
the muiKcuvors admirable, thero were
more Jersey men in tho sham fight
than the combined forces of both ar
mies amounted to ninety nino years
ago in tho real battle of Trenton.
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, ol
Georgia who hits hud so many struggles
with the monstor death in rocont yeurs,
is reported unable to reach Washing

Wo hirpo ho will livo over tho Centen

Tho Democratic party has a great
duly to perforin, and that ut tho earli
est moment practicable. Tho peoplo,
by electing a decisivo majority ol" Dem
ocrats to the popular branch of Con
gress, bavo given an expression of their
confldonco which must not bo disap
pointed. J hoy will not look lor im
possibilities, nor demand any rash or
unjust action from tho members of tho
House ; but they will havo a right to
expect vigilnnco, scrutiny of every
proposition of their political opponents,
ond thorough- investigation of past
wrongful doings where they anect tuo
general welfare.
Tho vanlngo ground which is now
occupied by tho Deniftcratic pari-, hits
not been lightly won, nor is It to bo
lightly regarded.' It has required
years of patient, persevering effort, in
tho face of a powerful political organ
ization, which did not hesitate lo cm
ploy unfair means and to squander
public money, in the vain hopo of pre
venting it. Undoubtedly the struggle
hns been prolonged by the vilest meth
ods ; but truth is mighty, and must
ultimately prevail. Great governments
liko ours cannot long rest upon a basis
of public peculation and robbery.
Theso must givo way, and tho people
must come to their rights, and regain
their own.
Kven so recently as threo years ago.
after battling the enemies of fair deal
ing for seven long years alter peace
was doclarod, the Democratic outlook,
to superficial observers, was not very
cncourutfinir : but to thoso who studied

will do their simple, honest duty to

There must bo no compounding of;
felony, no sncrifico of honorablo prin

Democracy nnd dishonest Radicalism,
is absolutely impossible, and tho sooner
it is clearly understood tbo better. , No

At tho beginning ol the year 1 be

I have to say will bo said with but a
single end in view, via: tno pronseiua
tion of Democratic principles in u
homely way, to tho frud that reason
Mid tbouirht tuny iuido us to a just
view of our political duty, Whut Is
hero said will not be defended. 1 is sole
purpose is to suggest thought and to
reproduce principles sometimes lost
Bight of. In what is said, no attempt
will bo mado to nppcul to passion or
to rally prejudice, but urgumuiit or
criticism, it usou ut an, will no iisen
with calmness sad without sbiiso. The
times are propitious tor sober socond

cuniary disaster bavo reached to eve ry
door-sill. Tho duys are evil and men
grow fearful ofthu future. In such uu
hour it is w iso to draw experience
front the lessons ol tbo past lo Bit nt
tho feet of tho sages of our party and
gather thero wisdom tind knowledge
liir use uniting tbo troubles of (ho pres.
eut. iv the Democrat who loves and
reveres 'tho principles of free Govern

should bo sacredly maintained, the
lessons ol' Joil'erson, tbo Ibiinder of his
part;, aro ulwnys in season, always
respected, und, so Ihr as the progress
of events will permit, are always to be
obeyed. His creed, now nearly throe
quarlciti of a century old, is ns perfect
a compendium of political truth now
as when ho uttered it, and it is the
very cssonco of tlio faith of an honest
Democrat. Lot us repeat it mid
remember it: "Ennui and exact
justice to all mon of whatever state or
persuasion, religious or political ; pence,
commerce and honest friendship with
all nations entangling alliances with
none ; tbo support of the State govern
ments in nil their rtghts ns tho most
competent administrations for our do
mestic concerns and the surest bub
walks against nnti-rcpublicuu tenden
cies; the .preservation of the general
Government in its wholo constitutional
vigor as the shoet anchor of our peace
at homo and safety abroad ; a jealous
care of tho right of election by tho
people ; absolute acquiesenco in the de
cisions of tho majority; a well disci
plined militia; the supremacy of the
civil over the military authority ; econo
my in tho public expense, tliat labor
may bo lightly burdened ; the honest
payment of our debls nnd sacred
preservation of tho public faith ; cn
cournjemcnt of agriculture, and of

of information, and tho arraignment of
all abuses at tbo bar of public reason ;
freedom of religion; irecdom of the
press; freedom of person under the
protection of tbo htibea cormx, and
trial by juries impartially selected,
This should bo tho creed of" our politi
cal faith tho touchstone by which to
try tho services of those we trust."
As tho. great truths that inako up
tho aggregate of the Christian religion
never loso their font) nor their value
in the world of morals, so theso great
doctrines aro of binding lorco and clli
cacy in tho world of politics. Our
form of government can only be suc
cessfully administered when they are
rigidly observed. Neglect of tho ob
servance of those principles, or viola
tions of their teachings, invariably re
act uimn the people and bring in their
train countless ills. Tho man who
does not seek office, or who neither
sees nor feels nny direct benefit to him
self from theperiodicul changes of rulers
Unit occur under our syslerStvery otlcn,
thinks it does not matter to him who'
rules or what principles govern. Hut
when financial distress pervades every
part of tho country und comes to the
daily lifo of theso uien, thoy.are taught
by sail experjeneo that it is a matter
of grave importance to them who gov
erns nnd what principles prevail.
Jefferson's maxims woro good for
tho people of bis day, and they are in
valuable for all tho peoplo of our day.
"The preservation of tho general Gov
ernment in its whole constitutional
vigor," if faithfully observed would
have mado secession impossible and
saved ns of nil tho woes that flowed
therefrom. "A jealous Care of the right
of election by the people" would pun
ish with just severity tbo frauds and
outrages upon the bnllot by which the
verdict of the people have again and
again been reversed. "Tho supremacy
of the civil over tho military authority"
would have spared us tho spectacle of
a Louisiana legislature dispersed at tlio
point of tho bayonet. " Kconomy in
the public expenso to tho end that la
bor may be tightly burdened " is plainly
tho need of the present, but labor helps
its enemies' and liljo a blind giant
wastes its strength in aiding those who
are tho very agents of extravagance.
"The honest payment of our debts and
sacred preservation of the public faith"
may well bo commended lo those with
in tho circle of our party who forget
tho intrinsic value of a promise lo r.
and ignore our traditions in tbo hope
of porsounl gain.

OR A XT, THE POPE, AXO THE
SCHOOLS.
Something must bo dona. That
something is to voto for tho schools
nnd against tho Pope. After tho elec
tion wo aro comparatively safe. The
country has been frequently saved
from the encroachments of tbo Jesuits
in this manner. A Republican victory
always diminishes the swelling of tho
Pope's too. It acts liko an ointment
administered to it. Theso Republican
fioliticinns, who are so vigilant in be
inlf of tho Bible and the public schools,
aro themselves, nut Christians. Their
knowledge of the Scriptures is chiefly
derived from what they bear of them
rather than actual rending. But this
doesn't make any difference. It is
easy to bo religious and not pious.
How much easier to bo concerned for
the cause of religion nnd yet have no
religion I But in this class ol politi
cians, we beg leavo to bo understood
wa don't include General Grunt. His
but fitting thut ho should be the choice
of tho clergy. Ho baa always led a
p.ro and gslly lite; his habits aro
known to bo irreproaehablo ; be never

his lips are never profaned by an onlh;
he has a horror of a horse-racer ; ho is
regular in his attendance at church ;
his leisure bom's uro devoted to earn
est religious discussion with eminent
bishops, doctors of divinity. There is
n propriety in calling upon Grant to
save our religion nnd our schools. Ho
has nil end v saved our lliiou. Wo

A CEXTEXAItlAX PREACHER.
Tho Rev. Henry ' Bochin, belter

Mothodist preacher in this country, and
probobly tho oldest minister in the
world, died on Tuesday ol' Inst week,

Bishop Ashury again chose this preach
