A Wunliington corrc.pondciit of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, on the day Sccro
tary Sherman luff that city to itump
Ohio, said :
' Seurulary Sherman lull hern on this
mornin'a train, via tho 1'unnnylvania
Railroad, for Ohio. He jroca into thu
Slate to make campaign npecclu n to
induce tho voters to cast their suffragce
for Charles Foster, his crcaturo. In
view of this fact that tho impending
campaign is one in which Secretary
Sherman is tho central figure, and who
will reap all the advantages of a Re
publican victory, the following cute
chium, lor the guidance of I huso who
will listen to his speeches and sco lit
to abk him some questions, is prepar
ed :
Secretary Sherman will tell tho
people ot Ohio that lio lias closed
all (olunding operations. This ho told
tho people ol .M uino. Ho deceived them,
and will likewise attempt to doceivo tho
people ol Ohio. He had, on tho con
trary, not jut closed his recent con
tract with the pot Syndicate, which at
one fell swoop got control of all the lour
percent, bonds. OI the 180,000,OUO
subscribed in theso bonds by tho Syndi.
cato ti5,000,UU0 yet remain unpaid
for; and Secretary Shorman, in that
spirit of liberality which ho has al-
ays extended to a low r.asturn banks,
has extended the time lor final settle
ment until October 1st, although tho
original contract, which be has violated
at discretion, provided a final settle
ment should be made on July lilh
last. The immediate result is that tho
banks have tho uso of 15,000,000
until October 1st which belongs to the
people, and should have been in the
Treasury thirty dnj'8 ago. With money
worth two per cent at call, it will re
quire tho aid of a lightning calculator
to find how much money tho Syndi
cate will muku out or tho t l.r,000,000
which Sccrolnry Sherman allows them
to mo.
This is not tho only reason, though,
that Secretary Sherman gave tho Syn
dicate an indulgence. Had a settle
ment been mudo according to the
contract, lour per cent, bonds would
not now be at a premium they might
bo held at par. Sherman fearful of
this decline, indulged the Syndicato
rather tfattn pressed them, because ho
wanted to keep the bonds up until alter
the Ohio election, so that be rould
point to tho negotiation ot the four
per cents with pride; and tho higher
the premium at which they wore held,
tho more pride would bo take in tho
transaction. It may bo well, also, lor
the people ol Ohio to know, while Sec
retary Sborman is among them, that
on the day the contract with tho Syn
dicato for tho four per cents was mudo
tho United States had on deposit in
the hands ot tho .N'ationBanks tho sum
of iL'00,000,000, and theso same banks
still havo about 1 10,000,000 in four per
cent, bonds to loan Western farmers at
two por cent, per month to enable
them to get their crops into mnrket.
Tho Syndicato havo three months to
pay for these bonds, during which
time they collected the interest, which
at four per cent, per annum is ono por
cent., aggregating $180,0011 profit be
fore they were callod on for ono cunt.
This ia not all. Tho monopoly thus
put in tho hands of these banltorr
mado a corner on tho bonds, and they
wuro enabled to chargo two per cent,
premium on the bonds, which makosa
clear profit of .'1C0,000, or, altogether,
the profits of this transaction between
tho .National Banks and John Sher
man was fMO,000.
Now, who does this monoy como
out of? During the extra session of
Congicss a widow of a Union soldier
wrolo to a member of Congress that
olio had curtain United States bonds in
trust for hor children, the proceeds ol
her deceased husband's pension ; that
she had applied for the interost on hor
bends, and for the first time ascertain
ed that her bonds were among those
called in, and the interost had oeasod.
She reqneatod the mom her of Congress
to go to the Treasury and exchange
her bonus lor lour per conn, ino
matter was presented to the United
States Treasury, and the reply w as
that the party could got tho face valuo
of tho bonds in money, but tho Gov
ernment bad do securities tor the sale.
Tho consequence was that the poor
woman had to pay a premium of 2)
por cent, (tbe small dcalors must have
thoir profit, hence the half oent addi
tional), and tho exchange for trans,
mission was half of one percent, more.
entailing a loss equal to nino months
interest on tier litllo patrimony, w line
the great capitalists of tho country
are lauding: Sherman's financial suc
cess, somehow the poor widows and
orphana aro not able to appreciate it
Secretary Sherman can also ba ask
ed by the loyal soldiers of Ohio why
he has appointed I onlcdcraics looinoo r
His friends say bo has not. Let us
see. Here is the roster :
Ceneral Withers was a Confederate
soldier. Ho served through the war.

Secessionist until ho roevntly began

too old for tho army cared for Union

guerrilla, is Inspector of Customs at
fortress Monroo, Va. Theodoro fsclh.
gar, who served through tho war in
tho Now York Burgess Kiflo Corps,
was discharged to ir.ako room lor bun.
In July a widow lady named Barnes.
tho dunghterof a staunch Union man
named Pollard, in Virgina.who wits shot
down in cold blood on his own door
step, in tho presence of his family, by
Mosey s guerrillas, applied to tho
Treasury Department for a position,
having tho names of fourteen members
of Conpress on her papers indorsing
her ability and respectability; but
M rs. Barnes not being able to organize
lor Shorman, was unsuccessful, while
tbe Departments aro overrun with tho
proteges of Confederate members.
The wife, dauqhler, ton and son in law
of Yerqer, the. ex reM who assassinated
Colonel Wane, of Dayton, Umo, of the
united Mates Army, at Jackson, Miss.,
in 18d6, are a'l in the Department here.
Secretary Sherman can also be asked
bow it Is that the Sherman family are
all saddled on tho publio. Hore is tho
roster of thu Sherman family who aro
now making sacrifices on tho altar of
their country :

Army, $17,700; $4,200 of this amonr.t

the cousins and tho nieces and atijits
of tho female persuasion who aro aid
ing their distinguished relative in his
race lor tho Presidency by drawing
Government salaries, believing tho
publio will give the clan Suet man due
crodit for what the males aro doing.
IXQERSOLL OX TIlKllEBRE WS
Colonel liobcrt G. Ingorsull, has ad
dressed tbe following characteristic loi
ter to tbo Hon. J. J. Noah, a promi
nent Hebrew, of Now York :
ily Dear Friends: As matter of
course, I am utterly opposed to tho op
pression of any class, and regard the
action of the proprietors of the Man
hattan Beach Hotel in reference to the
Jews as bigoted, mean and disgraceful.
Such action belongs to tho daik agog.
The persecution of thejows should
bring blush to every Christian chock.
Nothing is more Infamous than the op.

who has studied the grand philosophy
ol Spinoza, and has seen upon the
stago Kuchol, mistress of passion, will
hardly unito in the condemnation of
tho ruce to which those prodigies be

tho Jowb furnished thoir persecutors
with a religion, and that they aro tho

Wo should also remember that the
Jows wore tho only people Inspired.
All tho "sacred" writers, ail tho"proph

tians almost worship Abraham, not
withstanding the n flair of II agar, and
his willingness to murder his own son,
and whilo they hold in almost infinite
respect David, tho murdoror, and Sol
omon, the Mormon, it certainly is not
perfectly consistent to denounce men
and women of the same ruce who havo
committed no crimo.
Tho Christians havo always been
guilly of this inconsistency with ro

to let tho dead tuko euro of themselves,
whilo wo roapect and maintain tho

I cannot forget that during tho rev

I cannot forget that during our civil

preservation of the Union, many of

most important commands. Neither
can I forget that many of the Jews

SPRAGUES CAREER.
Tho Utica Observer, in alluding to
this loyal defunct statesman, says :
"Mr. Sprague's lifo Is a peculiar ono.
II o was born to great wealth, but was
nover endowed with much intellect.
When he was 29 years old ho returned
in tho winter of 1859 CO from a trip to
huropo. ills ambition at that tune
soared no higher than to command a
company ot militia known as the i'rov
idenco light artillery. This baltory
turned out to meet him on his return,
and succeeded (with tho help of
Sprague's money) in getting up quito
celebration. Ino democrats bap
pened to hold thoir State Convention
about that timo, and taking advantago
of tbo temporary excitement they nom
inated Sprague lor Uovernor. Jlio
tradition runs that ho went home and
said : "Mo, I havo been nominated for
Governor of lihodo Island." Bis
mother answered : "This is a high
honor." "But, Ma, I am nominated
by the Democrats, and the Bepublicans
aro in a largo majority." "But, Will

were nominated, and it 1 wanted to Do
Governor, 1 would be." "Ma, said the
young hero, "I will bo Governor of

say it cost him $120,001), and that his
defeated competitor, Selh Padollord,
spent ovor $60,000. Under tho pleas
ant laws of Bhodo Island they charge
a man a dollar for voting. They call
it a noil tax. Mr. Snrairue wont Into

tho noil tax lor the whole town, ilia

against Padclford's agents, and tbo

Somo of tho ignorant sold themselves

first term tho civil war broke out, and
as he had been a military man (in tho
militia) ho immediately rose to groat
prominence. Ho was re eloctod Gov

TUB YAZOO BVSMES8.
Just after the war a man named
Morgan, who had some connection with
the Fedcrul army, settled in tho county
of Yazoo, Miss., and married a mulatto
woman, engaging in politics as an avo
cation. The population of the county
of Yazoo, at that time, was four fifths
black, and Morgan, by thoroughly
identifying himself with tho negroes,
became thoir lender. His word was
law. He found no difficulty, in being
elected to any othco bo chose, and (in
ally, after trying a number, selected
that of Sheriff as boing tbo most profit-
aulo. llis reign was a reign ot terror.
Things wont on from bad to worse,
until every white man who did not
profit by an association with Morgan
found a refuge elsewhere Ono day a
man named Dixon, who had been a
Cotilederato soldier, and was woll-
known as a desperate character, sent
Morgan an unsealed letter in which
ho tersely informed him that bo (Dix
on) was tired of tho way things had
been going on, and that he wanted him
(Morgun) lo "got out of there." In
order that ho might know just whut
was meant, Dixon added a poslci ipt to
tho effect that if ho met bim alter tho
receipt of his letter bo would shoot
him on sight. Morgan was a desperate
man himself, but ill Dixon ho recog
nized his master. Within the timo
prescribed ho found himself a new
abiding place. Dixon immediately suc
ceeded to his lordship and tyrannical
domination.
Tho negroes feared Inm, but they
obeyed him. Ilo ruled them as mer
cilessly as Morgan, and by the same
means. One day be chased an ollend
ing colorod man to a cotton field where
thirty or forty other negroes wero at
work. Tbo hunted man saw bim com
ing and fled to the rivor. Dixon rodo
up to tho gang unattended and forced
them by his will power olono to cap
ture tho runaway, put a rope around
bis neck and bang him to the limb of
a treo without any more ado than it ho
had been a mad-dog. Two years ago,
Dixon mot a gambler who had won
some ol his monoy and shot him down
without a word of warning. His next
job was to pack a jury with nogroos,
and obtain an acquittal. Jiy mis time
he had become as great a terror as
Morgan bad ever boon, and finally tho
whilo citizens of Yaxoo and the sur
rounding country made common cause
and drovo him out of tho Stato. Two
months ago he returned and announc
ed himself as an independent candidate
for Sheriff. That meant, if it meant
anything, a ronowal of tho old scenes
violence, murder and ruin, in sheer
sclf-delonce, just as they would have
united against, an insane man with a
torch in his hand, or a wild animal,
tho citizens of Yazoo county without
distinction of politics or color came
together, and informed Dixon that ho
would not bo allowed to turn their peace
ful community into another boll. In
most countries such a man would have
been hung to the highest treo or near
est lamp-post, and but litllo noto would
have been made ol it. lloro, however,
a quiet but determined suppression of
him bos been tortured into proscrip
tion of the worst grade, and Northern
papers havo printed columns of denun
ciation of what thuy stylo "the Missis
sippi method." Citizens who havo
combined moroly to protect thoir flro
sidus from rapine and riot, aro assailed
aa bull dozers and Yahoos.
Tho telegraph now brings us tbo
nows that Dixon bos been Bbot in a
personal encountor. There was a ilia
nuto. a nullinrr of nistols. ono or more
shots, but somebody was loo quick for
him and Dixon tell dead, remaps
this will bo tho end of tho troubles and
consequent notoriety of Yuzoo. Possi
bly not. iboso stutemonls, howovor,
havo been mado to us by one who had
evory opportunity to know that they
are true, and wo print them to show
lo our readers, tho kind ol creatures
on whom tho Bepubliean papers of tho
North havo been wasting tones ol
sympathy. TrjM'nrfon 1'ost.
A CORDIAL MEETING.
Two men hailed each other from
the opposito banks of a stream, and,
exchanging greetings, many friendly
questions were put and answered. The
men were evidently delighted ts moot
each other, and their only regret ap
peared lo lie that they encountered ono
anolhor in a place where it was im
possible for them to clasp and shake
hands, the river not being lordablo, on
account ol its swiftness and the rocky
and treacherous nature of its channel,
whilo the nearest bridgo was five
milos above. Both men lamented
Ihcso unfortunate circumstances very
much, but at length a way ol getting
ovor the difficulty suggested itself to
oi.o of them whoso pet name was
"Broncho Bill."
I say, Sam I" cried Broncho, "it's

"1 bev I cnea nam ; "auora carry

"Good I That's somo comfort ; ef

bangl went their pistols.
"Yor's mashed the pummel ol my

"You done bolter, Bill ; you got into
the flesh ot my loft arm 'bout an inch.
Good morning to you, a safe journey
to yer, and tell tho folks at home, we

"Thank ver, and the same to you ;
bet I'll give 'em a good account of
you.
Sam then turned to our friond and,
with teari in his eyes, said: "God

Fourteen bills of indictment have
boon found by tho grand jury of this
county for corrupt solicitation in and
about tho Legislature, for perjury and
for conspiracy to promote legislative
corruption. All the persons arraigned
are moro or loss prominent in political
or business circles, or in both, and the

With the exception of Won ana
retrofT, who havo belore been conspic

willb observed that tbe Indicted mem
bers are all now men in tbo Legisla

without, howovor, reaching any ofi
the Bocrets ot the jury room that

unanimous.
THE STATE FATR AT I'llltA,
DELPHI A.
Tho Stato Fair of 1879, which com
menced on Monday last, tho 8th inst.,
at Philadelphia, will present to its
exhibitors an exhibition never before
witnessed in this Commonwealth, save
only tho evermemorable event of tbe
Centennial yoar,
The capacity of the Main Building,
which, our readcas will recollect, cov
ers more than twenty-two acres, to
gether with tho enclosed space adja
cent, will bo filled with fine hords of
cattle and horses the newest improve
ments in labor-saving machinery, fruits,
flowers, and seeds in profusion, to
gether with all the domestic manufac
turers, lio., which contributo so large
ly and effectually to displays ot this
character.
Among tho exhibits wbich space en
ables us to enumerate, aro a large
collection of thorough bred and im
ported draft horses, fine bred horses of
raro strains, including tbe colobratod
Arabian stations recently proscntcd to
General Grant by tbo Sultan of Tur
key; a better variety of short-horn
herds than evor congregated together
in tho United States heretofore, to
gether with tho most extensive display
of fino-bred Jersey and Guornsey cat
tle evor shown at any exhibition. To
this can be added a fino display of
Ayrshire and Devon cattle, with a
splendid show ol fine long and middle,
wooled shoep, choice varieties of Cbes
tor, Borkshiro, and Poland China
swine, and all othor livo stock in pro
portion. A prominent and interesting featuro
will bo a cheese and butter factory
from Utica, N. Y., in practical opera
tion, turning out each hour large quan
tities of the best and choicest products
of tho dairy. This extraordinary at
traction was secured by the managers
at a cost of ono thousand dollars.
Tbo applications for motive-power
to drive tho machinery in motion havo
toslcd the ingenuity of tho obliging
managers, and the contributions of ag
ricultural produce will bo simply im
mense. Tho Camden and Atlantic
Railroad will show the products of tho
arm and gardens along their lino, and
tho Vinoland Society bus postponed
its annual exhibition and turned all
its efforts in lavor of tho show nt Phil
adelphia. Litllo Delaware is to send
rich supplies of her fruits to competo
with tho orchards ol Pennsylvania.
Indeed, tho exhibition is rather an in
ter State than a State affair, and the
manufacturers of Philadelphia have
found it out, and are going to work in
earnest.
Those "Horrid llr.nn. Women."
A cotomporary remarks : That wretch
ed old mouther and femalo "Eli Per
kins," Jano Gray Swizzlem, is out in a
hysterical loiter guaranteeing tho hon
or and purity of Mrs. Kato Chase
Spraguo. Sho says that the present
scandal is the result of a conspiracy on
tho part of the horrid robol women in
Washington to ruin Mrs. Spraguo be
cause sho is tho daughter of her father
and the leading lady in the Bepublic.
She calls upon the northern people to
totally ignore "the baying of tho pack
of Southern hounds in Washington."
Old Mrs. Swizzlem may be correct but
we shall always admire the ingenuity
ol those Southern people. Tho way
in which they managed to havo Mrs.
Sprague in tbe Senate gallery last
winter whenever Boscoe made a great
effort and tho cunning fnannor in which
they Induced bim to drive out to
"Kdgowood" the lonely home of the
neglected wilo two or throo times a
week, tarrying till 2 and 3 o'clock in
tho morning, will always command
our rospoct. We begin to think that
the Southern peoplo in Washington
will eventually destroy all tho great
persons of Bepubliean attributes in tho
country. Between tho "Conlederato
Brigadiers" and the "horrid rebel wo
men," it is probable that tho reputa
tion of such godly men and women as
Mrs. Swizzlem namoa may be ruined,
llow much that will shatter the Union
ot the Slates, we are unable to ronjoc
turo. But wo think it wont crack it
much outside of the Sprague and Conk
ling families,

"STATE RIGHTS."
Tbo following, which we clip from
tho Butler Herald, is tho heat short
disquisilion wo have seen on tlris sub
ject which moro or loss agitates the
public mind ut this time. The editor
remarks:
"In looking over our Bepubliean ex
changes wo are continually informed
that 'State rights' is dead, and that
tho Democrats aro still in lavor of that
dead isBiie. Wo have not tho slightest
doubt, if tho true feelings of theso Be
publiean editors wero exposed to pub
lio viow, thoy would bo found in favor
of the death of ovory State right known
to the Constitution, natural or merce
nary. The inclination of many Re-"
publican editors is to wipe out ail such
obstacles to the consideration ol powor
in tho Federal governments as Stato
linos, Stato legislation and other mat
tors included within tho reserved rights,
and to this end, they seek to impress
upon tho publio mind that tho doo
trino of 'Stato rights' is unwarranted
and outrageous.
Lot us reason together and soo what
tho doctrine of 'Stato rights' is, in or
der that tho intelligent citizen may sco
bis can so clearly. Tho Federal Con
stitution says:
"Art. IX. Tho enumeration in tho
Constitution of certain rights, uhull
not bo construed to deny or disparago
others, retained by tho peoplo.
"Art. X. The powerj not delegated
to tho United Statos by tho Constitu
tion, nor prohibited by it to the Statos,
aro reserved to tho States respectively,
or to tho pcoplo."
Let any ono tuko up tho Constitu
tion and examine it and bo will find
tho powers delegated lo tho United
States, and those prohibited to the
States. Unless the citizen is wilfully
blind, or politically prejudiced in lavor
of a consolidated government, ho can
ascertain beyond all question tbo pow
ers and duties of tho States respective
ly. So long, therefore, as tho consti
tution lusts, so long must 'State lights'
exist. There is no other result, and
editors who blather and muko a noise
about 'Slute rights' aro cither lamenta
bly ignorant of tho Constitution, or
wickedly disposed to impose upon the
peoplo.
1 lie only bono ol contention that
ever did exist between Ibo States and
tho general government was tho doo
trine of tho right of secession. South
ern Slates in luto years, and Ihe New
bnglund in Inrmcr years, contended
that they had tho right to sccedo from
tho Union whenever they deemed their
interest demanded such secession. This
doctrino was first contended for by the
New England States during the war of
1812, and ber citizens burnt 'blue
lights' to show tho British a safe en
trance into tho harbors. Tho people
of theso Slates said tho war of 1812
was contrary to their intorosls and,
therefore, they had the right to so
cedo that secession was a light which
each Stalo reserved when it came into
the Union. Thero was no such doc
trino as her Bepubliean people now
contend for, that wo aro a nation and
Stato rights aro dead. Their hopo is
that by consolidation they will remain
masters of the government, and by
their capital keep in bondugo to them
tho growing and now powerful influ
ence of tho West. From them the
Southern people became the advocates
ol secession when tho slavery question
loomed up ns an important actor in
tho politics of the country. Tho only
difleronce bctwoon thorn was, that the
Now England States were too coward
ly to fight for tho doctrine while tho
Southern States sacrificed all they bad
for tho principle
Ihe doctrino of socession as a Stato
right Is doad mado so by tho result
of tho war, but to say that all other
rights of States aro dead is to ignoro
tho States for tho goneral government.
This is ttao old Federal doctrine and no
man who has a drcn of Democratic
blood in his veins can advocate it. The
people aro, therefore, called npon to
assert tho fundamental doctrine of tho
government, viz: that our government
is ot a two fold character, ono possess
ed of powers which it was impossible
to exercise by the States separately
and yet maintain a bond of union; tho
other having special relation to the
domestic wants of the people and to bo
performed through tho reserved pow
ers of the States. Each of theso oper
ato within their respective spheres,
and for either lo entrench upon the
other, for any purposo wholovor, is to
destroy tho character of our govern
ment in both essence and form. So
cession is dead and t!4 people have de
clared tho union of Stales shall exist
forever. We do not want,, therefore,
any parly, or tho leaders of any party,
putting forth pnliticul heresies by
which will be ellccteil a result as bad,
or even worse, than had secession suc
ceeded. Tho Southern secessionists
wished to disintegrate the government
and havo ono of thoir own. They
failed. Northern Federalists want to
wipe out tho Statos by destroying
'State rights' and forming a consolida
ted government with themselves at its
bend. They will fail also. Our Dem
ocratic government will remain Demo
cratic."
