Tho vote in tho West shows that tho
ticrmans ure deut to tho appeals of tho
bloody shirt ornloin, that Carl Schura
has lost power with them, and that
they discern that the overmastering
issuo of this campaign is the reform oi
tho abuses which sixteen years of Re
publican dominance has ostnblishod in
tho administration of the (iovornment.
Tho (iormnns ot tho East aro of tho
sumo mind with their brethren of the
West. This fact, with others, give
promisoof a heavy majority for Tildcn
in this State, whero tho great battle
will be fought. Tho Republican ora
tors, released by tho close ol the can

they will find that it is not a standard
which will stir tho enthusiasm of our

UEI'i ni.lCA.N PHKSTIGK BROKEN.
Tho Democratic party has struggled
against tcrriblo odds in Ubio and lndi
ana. It has had to contront unlimit
ed renoiii-ws of men and money. It
has had to meet an unprincipled or
ganization, ready to sacritico evory
great pnhbo interest lo carry its own
Bclfish ends. Tho speclaclo of a great
party selling its honor, and entering
into an unholy nllinneo in deflanco of
its own professions, is degrading and
disgusting, and will socuro tho con
tempt of the pcoplo ot tho entire Re.
public.
For tho first tiiro since tho organi
zation of the Republican party, the
Democracy pass tho critical period of
tho Uctober elections without tho in.
fluence of a depressing popular current
against them.
Tho prestige ol tho Republican par
ty is at last broken. At last it must
lace tho jk'oiiIo throughout the entlro
length and breadth of tho land. At
last it must give an account ol its stow
ardship at tho general election in No
vember. No longer can it enter into tho'No-
vemher election with the impetus of
n n avnlunche, sweeping everything be
I'oro it. It must now faco tho sober
judgment of tho country. It must
abandon its appeals to passion and pre
judice. It must abandon ita hopes ol
winning by personal calumny and
scurrilous vituporntion.
Tho questions aro simplo and easily
comprehended by every voter.
1. Will the country prosper so long
as sectional bitterness is permitted to
load the South with heavy and op
prcssivo burdens? Shall tho relentless
persecution ot the South continue T or
shall Iratemity and good will between
the sections prevail? The Republican
parly stirs up tho rancor ol old-titno
hatred ; tho Democratic party seeks to
heal tho wounds of tho war, and to re
concile rneo with race and suction with
section. A united North grais the
pmll'ered hand of tt united South.
Shall it be ?
2. Shall the general administralH
ol tho country bo conducted upon tho
principles or the lathers, or shall the
Republic bo managed by those who
have already brought It to the verge
of ruin?
3. Shall Rolorm and Retrenchment
bo enforced ; or siiall tho destinies of
tho nation bo left in hands utterly un
able lo comprehend its needs?
J ho result ol vcslornay a conloslo is
demonstrating the great impression
mado by Iho Democracy in tho critical
Stntes, give bright promise of final
success in .November, iho conserva

From the N. Y. Herald, Oct. 11.
1 he ilcnublicans lounuca their tin-
peal on what is popularly culled the
"bloody shirt." With tho exception
of Mr. Solium and Air. J. 1). Cox, wo
rcmcmbor no prominent spcuker in
either Ohio and Indiana who brought
into prominonce those reforms which
the country needs. Civil service, cur
rency, economy,respoctability,all went
by tbe board, and press and speakers
urged only and continually tho danger
ot a "united South," the danger of reb
el war claims, and attempt to arouse
me oia war lever, tho feelings ol Int
torncss, hostility and suspicion toward
tho Soutbirn whites. Now, of courso,
this was i ,:ie deliberately. It was no
chance work. In July thoro was still
reason to hope and even to believe that
tho " bloody shirt " would not appear
in lum cumpuigii. nuuoeniy nnu sim
ultaneously it was raised in both Slates
by all tho Republicans, without cause,
and without any reason except ono
that thoy believed that, on tho wholo,
this was their strongest card. Tho
field ol argument lav onon to them to
choose. They could huvo planted
themselves on civil servico reform, on
currency reform, on general good will
and confidence, but tliey prelurred an
appeal to dying and dangerous pas
sions that seemed to thotn their surest
and, wo must believe, their only way
io success.
Well, it has failed them. Substan
tially thoir campaign with tho "bloody
shirt" is a defeat. -It was a desperate
cntorpnso, set on loot by tho unti-ro
form wing ot tho mtrtv. which assum-
od command and had its own sweet
will in the campaign. It was the plan
of battlo of the Chandlers. Mortons,
Logans, tho "war horses" of tho Re
publican side; and tho subordinate
leaders, not oven excepting poor Air.
Sehurg at tho Inst, fell obediently into
line and fought it out, and substantial
ly got beaten. Cndoubtodly they do
served it ; but will it teach tho Repub
lican party no lesson ? Will not Gov.
Hayes and thoso leaders of his party
who desiro reform, now see that tho old
appeal to tho "bloody shirt," to preju
dice, hatred and unreason is a fniluro,
and that it is high time tor them to
oust tho false loaders, to return to tho
true issuos and question, and make
their struggle for November upon
theso ?

THI TRIUMPH OP Ti r.SDAY.
On Tuesday of this week we fought
a great battle where we had everything
to win ana evory chanco ot losing.
nest Virginia was so surely ours that
in our preliminary views we did not
even admit tho chanco of its loss. Wo
had hopes of Indiana, principally lo-
causo ot tho local sympathy that Mr.
Hendricks as a candidate on the na
tional tickot was sure to attract ; be.
sides, the average majority there to bo
ovorcomo was comparatively small
At the same time wo had our tears. 01
all our antagonistsMr. Morton is tho
clovorost, least scrupulous, most vorsed
in the dirty and despcrato wars of pol
itics. In Ohio we had confidence that
our Western brethren would mako a
gallant resistance: we could hardly
havo hoped for more. Ohio is ono of

It can bo easily understood from

full effect on the canvass can be faith
fully rororded. Ot courso the cluims
of Republican victories niado by tho
j tines and j rtuune are baseless, and tbe
exaggerated triumph of the Domocra-
ic organs, the llo;W and Nun, aro pre
matura, to any the least. At the pres
ent writing it npperao to bo certain
that tho Democrats havo carried Indi
ana and West Virginia, and that Ohio
is Republican by a small majority,with
a baro chanco of tho election of the
bend of tbe Domocratlo ticket. This
is quito enough to show that all the
advantage of the election rests with
tho Democratic party. Gov. Tildcn
was supposed lo be weakor in Ihe
States of Ohio and Indiana than in any
other States in the Union. In Ohio ho
was sunnoscd to havo been instruinon
tnl in defeating Gov. Allen a year ago.
Indiana was sore over Hendricks' de
feat for tho Presidential nomination,
and was reported as incensod against
Tildcn on the financial question. The
Republicans held tho advantage over
their opponents on every point iu theBe

power ol their enormous pntronago on

lected on thoir part to insure a victory,
and in Ohio tho nomination of Gover
nor II ayes had been inado with tho
express purpose ot securing thcro one
of tbo sweeping, old-fashioned Repub
lican majorities this month, ns a "snnd
off" for tho Presidential battlo in No
vember. Tho fact that the Democrats
havo carried Indiana despite tho heavy
odds against them, and havo tnado a
splendid fight, even it they havo not
won a substantial victory in Ohio, bo
sides gaining a signal victory in West
Virginia, is sufficient to increase Gov.
Tildon s chnnces in the Presidential

At all ovents, the Democrats nro not

llEANINOOF INTERFERENCE IN THE SOUTH
A constantly increasing number of
Republican voters in thoso, as well as
n other bouthern Mates, being tired
of the corruption and maladministra
tion practiced by their lovol party lead
ers, refnso to support tho local tickot.
it is this split which threatens l ack
aid in Louisiana and Chamberlain in
South Curolina, with the overthrow
which bofel Ames in Mississippi last
Fall, and as Ames called for Federal
troops to help him in his extremity, so
inamoeriain now prepares to loilow
is example. 1 ho object ol thus com
manding Federal soldiers into one of
these southern Mates fs thrcnlold.
They aro used, as by Packard, to in
timidale Democrats ; their presence at
tne same time helps to arouse and
organize tho most ignorant part of tho
negro vote; but, finally, their most
important use in such a stato ot thing
as we havo doscribod, is to discourage
and cripple the cttorU ot tho opposition
Kcpublicans. 1 no mass ot colored
voters in a Stato liko South Carolina
have a disposition to follow tho posses
sor of power. They believe in tho
superior power und strength of tho
federal Irovornment: it thoy sea that
nt Mr. l.batnberlain s request General
Grant sonde troops to act under Cham
berlain's orders, argument and appeal
aro aliko useless to pcrsuado thorn to
voto against Chamberlain.
Unserve, tuorclnro : tho troops are
scd to ro-lcct Chamberlain ; Unit is
the object. They were used to elect
Kellogg in Louisiana. Packard hopes
to use them to elect himself ; Ames
asked for them to re-elect himself, and,
not getting them, was beaten, and
promptly resigned and removed from
tho Stato. Can the Republican party
hope to succeed if it thus misuses its
possession of tho Federal power to
oep in their places corrupt or inelll-
cicnt State officers to coerco, not Demo
crats alono, but independent Republi
cans, and drive thorn back into the

Tho moro wo learn about Chamber
lain's proclamation tho more clear our
'onvietiou grows that It is a mastcr-
lecool villainy. ado Hampton, ino
bomocralie canditinto for Governor ot
South Carolina, declared that the state
ment of facts upon which the procla
mation is based i, untrue. Tho Chief
uslico of tho Si.proino Court of tho
Stato and two o: his associates vouch
for tho peaceful condition of affairs in
tho Stale, and characterize Chamber.
Iain's action as a scheme to inlrodiico
military rule nnd prevent tho holding
an election, it is considered a curi
ous fact that Chamborlain should have
discovered the illegality ol the rifle
clubs so suddenly, since, in tho colebra
tion of Juno 28, he marched in a pro
cession of them, and previous to that
time presented one of the clubs with a
silken banner.
From tbt Hew York Herald, Oct. It
Wo havo sovoral timos urged tho
colored voters of South Carolina to
support General Hampton and the
Democratic Staid and local tickets.
We cannot ace how they can wisely
tlo otherwise. They aro citizens of the
State, their wolfare is Involved with
that of their white neighbors. Cer
tainly, If they reflect, they will see
that Mr.Chamhcrlnin has utterly failed
lo giva tbe Stale pence, prosperity or
good government. General Hampton,
a man of influence nnd character, sol
emnly pledges himself and his associ
ates on the Dctnocratio ticket to give
tho Stato honest government and to
secure to the colored people every right.
Why should they not take him nt bis
word? We suspect that many of them
intend to do so, and that this accounts
for this lust and desperate expedient
of Chamberlain's which baa bocn so
promptly exposed by members of his
own party.
(From ta. New V.tk Herald. OH. It
Thoro it evidence enough to justify
the assertion of Judge Mackey, that

of those persons are In fact to docido

NONEKENHE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
That thcro aro a great n any mon in

is an insurrection in that ntato the
press of tho wholo country must bo

Chamberlain proposes lo appeal, can
not do brought into operation whero
there is no insurrection, and wore not
provided to detormino mere differences
of opinion. Govornor Chamborlain
says that in a certain contingency ho
win nvau niniHeii oi ino powers con
ferred upon bim by the Constitution
of tbo United States. It is contem
plated by tho Constitution that the
United States may protect a State
against domestic violence upon tho ap
plication of tbe Governor "when the

tho Legislature can bo convened the
United Status can only listen to such
an appeal from that body : the Gov
ernor has no slunding in liio case what
ever. Aro thcro any facts which ren
der it impossible to conveno the Legis
lature in South Carolina ? It there is
an insurrection that tho Stato cannot
deal with, then tho Govornor may call
on tho United Slates and tho United
Stntes may como if it choosos. Hut
Gov. Chamberlain proposes to furnish
bis occasion by declaring the exislcnco
ot an insurrection, that will not an
swer. The insurrection must be a fact,
nnd tiio ovulenca ot Iho leading men
of bis own party is utterly against
him, as will be seen lrom the letters ol
Judge Moses and tho testimony of otb
ers on this noi.it which we mint to-dav.
Tho contingency in which Governor
Chamberlain proposes to uso tho po
on which ho fancies are conferred upon
him by tno constitution ia simply this
in caso certain volunteor n ilitary
organizations do not surrender their
arms, let tbo Constitution ot tho
United States, Amondmont II , says
that "tho right of the people to koop

and we supposed that tho Constituion
really moans this, and that it is tho

MASSACRE AS DESCRIBED II V A VISITOR.
Nineteen years ago nn immigrant

by the Mormons, nt tho instigation ol
Drighum Young. John D, Leo, nn
adopted ton of llrigham, figured most
conspicuously in tho awful tragedy.
Feeling that to intelligently conduct
the prosecution it was necessary to
visit tho scene ol the butchery, Sumner
Howard, Ksq., United States District
Attorney for .ion, determined to do so.
Accompanied by Marshal Nelson, A. S.
Patterson, aud a Mormon guido, he set
out lor that place. At tho scene of the
massacre we cante across numbers of
human bone. A rib as white as snow,
a ahoultler-blado half buried in tho
sand, and other fragments of human
frames, scattered for a mile, lay bleach

whore tho immigrants corrnled their
wagons was a level strip ol meadow
terminating in a bluff like manner, and
commanding a view of half a milo
down tho canyon, and in turn com
manded from tho bills on ovory other
side. It waa thoro that tho train had
determined to atop for a week or ten

SWEETS JI Y TUE CAR LOAD.
TWO hundred thousand pound or
CALIFORNIA HONKT.
From tbe New York Bun, Oct 14.
Mr. J. S. Harbison, of San Diego
county, Calilornia, arrived in this city
yesterday with ten car-loads of honey,
each ear containing 20,000 pounds.
This vast aggregatior of bee labor was
taken from Mr. Harbison's six apiaries
on tho sides of tho coast rango of moun
tains, as near to tho Mexican line as
they can well be and claim the protec
tion of the Stars and Stripes. Twenty
five years ago Mr. Harbison made a
stir in tho boo world by selling at ono
timo two thousand pounds of honoy,
tho product of his apiary, near New
Castlo, Pa. So much honoy had never
beforo been raised by a single producer,
and tho sale led hundreds of staid
farmers to embark in what lookod like
a mostprofitable field of industry. The
result was not flattering. Short seasons
and limited boo pasturage furbade prod te
able bee culture. Old-fashioned hive
wero then tho only kind known. The
modern means of robbing bees without
killing them had not then bocn thought
of. Having invented a hive that en
abled the cultnrist to obtain successive
crops of honey from the same colony
of bees, Mr. llarbison began to look
for a region that would supply the
food for tho bees. Ho scare' hod for
this in tho cquablo climato of the Pa
cific coast, and found it in a narrow
strip of country in the oxtromo south
western corner of tbo United States,
now known as tho bee belt of California.
Bboep-raising was tho only industry of
the natives found by Mr. Harbison
when bo first visited the country. The
country inland was thought good
forsheep-pasturing. but no one dreamed
that tbe soil could bo made to produco
grain in paying quantities. Timber
was confined to tho bottom of running
streams and to tho canons, the valleys
and hill-sidos being covered with a
growth of white sago, sumac, and oth
er flowering shrubs, which bloom thoro
nino moi.ths of tho year.
Mr. Harbison's first apiary was
started on a mountain-sido, twonty
miles cast of San Diego. Ho embarked
for tho West witb seventy-five hive
of bees, but lhcso woro reduced to sixty-two
by casualties. From them bo
now has six apiaries, and a total of
3,000 hive. Ho employs fifteen men
constantly, and is reaping rich profits
from many thousands of acre that
must otherwise have bocn a barren
waste. He soon had many imitators,
and now not less than three hundred
persons aro taking honoy along the
"Boo Holt."
The California boo season, Mr. Harbi
son says, begins by February 1st In
March or April the bcos swarm, and
tho boo culrurist has lively times in
saving tba swarms. Tho scienco has
become so systematized now that the
npiciilturist knows within a day or two
when a given hivo may bo exported to
swarm, and as tho young bees always
settlo tomowhero near the parent hive
at least onco bclore selecting their new
quarters, a swarm is seldom lost. Tbo
(lowers aro nt tho hoight of thel r luxuri
ance in May and Juno, and tbo taking
of honey is begun usually about May
Jlllh, and the bees ara kept at work as
long as Iho flowers lust They ceoso
to bloom iu sufficient quantity to moro
than subsist tho bees in tho early part
of August ; but tbo littlo workers are
able to find enough to livo on without
consuming their stores as late as Octo
ber. It will thus bo soon that the
harvest-time is nevor longor than throo
months, and is often much lest. After
October begins, although the air is still
mild und Spring-liko, tho bees cease to
work, and rotiro into a semi-dormant
condition. Onco ovory eight or ton
days n colony will turn out at midday
and fly around for an hour or two in
tho sunshine, but they never fly far
lrom the hivo, and aro nevor aeen at
work.
Tho food of tbo becs in tho boo bolt
is generally tho flower of tho whito
sago, a plant that closely resemble
the garden sago. This is not to be
conloundod with tho sage brush of
Nevada and Utah, which is of the
wormword spocics, and has the family
bitterness. Next to tba tago in impor
tance as bee food is tho sumao, a shrub
that grows in Calilornia without poi
sonous flowering plant in the beo range,
and tho honey has nono ol tbo colicky
qualities that make Kastcrn-grown
honey objectionable The honey ia
graded by tho culturist according to
Ihe plant from which it is derived. That
mado from sago flower, being clearest
and most aromalio, is most valuable.
Mr. llarbison says that notwithstand
ing the great crop that he has brought
to this market, ho will probably not
realize moro than $1,000 after deduct
ing expense and Intorcst on capital.
He bad to dig his bee ranch out of the
wilderness. The roads thereto ovor
rocky mountain-side and deep canons,
were built at heavy cost Tbe contin
uous lthor of fifteen men it needed in
the csro of propagation and harvesting.
Tho hives, boxes for shipment, and
household supplies have all to be trans
ported from San Diego, forty miles
from Ins most remote apiary. It cost
about four cents, gold, to freight a
pound of honey by water to San f mn
oisco and by rail to Now York. Taking
into consideration the commisaiona and
currency value realizod here, there it
no great margin left for profit. - .
