Under the forms of law. Rutherford B. Hayes

His till rests upon disfranchisement of lawful

A Happy Arrangement. Thoro
was eminent fitness in Senator Conk
ling and Henry Ward Beochcr select
ing Brooklyn as the place to open tho
Radical campaign in Now Yoik. These
two Radical loaders are the heroes of
tbe two hugest social scandals of the

both should occupy tho sumo platform
in Brooklyn, and shout for "tho party
controlled by grand moral ideas." For
superlative impudence and square toed
rascality, tho acts of theso two men
was novor outdone but onco since the

when tho devil offered to sell tho wbolo

Afflicted JU.ui'iiih. The editor of
the Philadelphia Time, in alluding to
this alllit ted cily,ivmarks,- Yellow fover
slill continues its rueugos in Memphis,
and tbe mild weather of tho last few
days has naturally had an unfavorable
effect. Four deaths reported on tho
9th, und the number for the lust week
rcachod twenty, malting a total thus
far of a lilllo ovor four hundrod. This
is certainly bail enough, but one docs
not realize bow much lighter this year's
visitation has been tban that of 1878
until he compares tho figures lor cor
responding periodu, and finds that a
year ago yesterday, lor inslauco, tho
deaths numbered thirty-five. Only a
fortnight lator, however, came the
long-looked -for heavy frost, and on the
29lh of October the Board of Health
declared the epidemic over, though
stray cases continued to bo roported
for some time afterwards. There is
good reason to hope, thorefuro, that
the mortality in Memphis from tho
plague this your will not exceed five
hundred, against over two thousand in
1878. But Memphis ought not to have
lost five hundrod, nor even filty, lives
from yellow fever this year, and would
not if the lesson of 1878 had only boon
taken to heart. The country will watch

are allowed to drift along in the old

Correctly Stated. The Philadel
pliia Record is in tho habit every now

negative dig ; but the editor, I n h
issue of the Sib instant, did the fair
thing in tbis short and manly way :
Senator Wallace is booked to make
threo speeches in Ohio this wock in
bohalf of General Ewing. Whilo we
have no idea that Ewing can be pulled
through, wo do not doubt that Senator
Wallace's aid will be effective There
are few of our rising statosmon in this
country who have gained so rapidly in
tho last ten years in breadth of viow
and in publio consideration as the
Democratic Senator from Pennsylva
nia. He has the raro faculty of keep
ing abreast with political questions of

styling tho Democratic candidato for
StateTroasurer, Daniel O'ConneU Barr.
This is intended as a snoer at Mr.
Barr's Irish extraction, and is about as
contemptible a mode of appealing to
the prejudice of race and nativism as
tho veriest political snoak could be
guilty of. Daniel O'ConneU was a

.4 RAILROAD 1IORKOR OS THE
MICHIGAN CENTRA L.
TWENTY KILLED AND THIRTY WOt KliKD.
Detroit, Michigan, October 10. A
frightful accident occurred on the
Michigan Central railroad, a short dis
(unco east of the junction. About 1
o'clock this morning the I'licifio Ex
press train bound west, which left De
troit fortv minutes late, collided with
a switch engine on tho niuui truck ut
that place, telescoping the baggage
and express cars und piling the re
maining coaches, eleven in number, on
top ol the other. First coach wus till
ed with emigrants, most ol whom wero
killed or soriously injured. Many oc
cupants of tho other coaches aro also
killed or injured. It is supposed there
aro about tbonty or twenty fivo pas
sengers killed and twenty to thirty
wounded. I ho majority ol the mini
ber aro thought to bo emigrants und
second-class passengers, l'hysiciuns
and surircons were ul once summoned
from Juckson to tho sceno of tho dis
aster, and a special train carrying phy
sicians left Detroit ut 5 o'clock this
morning. A large forco ol employes
of tho railroad company, together with
a large number ol citizens ol jucKson,
aro on tho ground engaged in tho work
of extricating the bodies from the
wreck. Tbo railroad officials and sur
geons aro busy at work among them
doing ovorytbing in their power to
alleviate their sufferings. Tbe names
of tho killled and wounded will bo sent
as soon as thoy run be ascertained.
Tbe engineer and fireman of tho ex
press train wore literally lorn lo pieces
but tho engineer and fireman of the
switch engine escaped injury In jump
ing from tbo ongino. Tbo train was
made up of Wagner slocpers and four
passenger coaches ana mail una Dag
gugo curs. Tbo tender of tho express
eiii'inc was telescoped into tho bag
gage our about hull' 418 length. This
car, in turn, forced its way into the
mail car and theso crowded the first
passenger coach to tho right on to tho
embankment anil crushed nacK inro
tho two following. Tho passengers in
the Hist coach wero comparatively un
hurt, a harvest ot death being reaped
in tho second and third coaches The
fourth coacb escaped with slight dam
ago and nono of tho Wagner coaches
wero in urea. As near us run be as
cortaincd tho accidont was caused by
tho switchman having churge ot mak
ing up the lrcight train at Jackson
junction occupying tho main track
with tho switch engino anil caboose,
understanding that tho Pacific Express
was considerably behind tune. Ibo
oxpross train, how.evor, had made up
nearly all lost time.
Ibo rhiluuehihta J tone. In alluding
to tho disaster, says : "Not since the
Ashtabula disaster, which occutred
nearly threo years ago, has there been
a railway accident involving the loss
ot so many lives as wero sacrificed on
aMichigan lino. It was
another instance of gross carelessness
and incompetency on tho part of the
employes of a railway company. A
lightning express tram was lorly min
utes late. A switchman look it for
granted that il it was as much behind
time as that that it might not come
for a good while longer. Willi the
recklessness horn of many narrow
escapos, ho throw a shifting engine on
tho main track along which tho ex
press train had to como. It rume in
hot hasto through the midnight dark
ness. There was tho ineviiuMo col
lUion. Cars were smashed to atoms
and a scoro of lives, perhaps moro.
went out in agony."

Haysism. Many persons have been
astonished within the last fortnight at
tho agility ol our alleged President.
Mr. Hayes has boon bopping about the
country as though ho wero trying lo
escape from his conscience, making
speeches off the plalformsol tho rail way
cars at prairio stations and pausing to
inspect tho golden pumpkins at conn
try fairs. A paragraph in tho Phila
delphia Inquirer to the effect that "a
Hayes boom will probably start up as
tho result of this Westorn trip" reveals
tho wbolo thing. Uuyes is actually
trying tho effect of his personality on
tho rural Westorn mind with a view
to building up a second-term Hayes
party. Of course this is infatuation.
The futility of such u performance is
known to oven school children. A
carolul canvass mado two years ago

propor consisted solely of Mr. Hayes,

profess to be pertinent to tho immedi
ate issue of the cvyi!ii;n, n
tuo general principles mat distinguish
one parly from the other.
the tenor ol a political plallorin
may depend not less upon its specific
declarations thiin upon a subtle anil
instinctive spirit (lint pervades il the
seemingly insensible repetition of cer
tain terms, for example, that show
tho real undercurrent of the aulhoi's
thought. An upotlicgm of Talleyrand,
that latigtiago is made to conceal, not
to express, thought, can nowhere find
a better illustration than in a political
platform. Clone examination may,
however, bring to light Iho actual
ideas of those who have deviseil it,
howovor specious and deceptive it is
meant to be, however glittering its
generalities may appear.
Tho platform promulgated hy the
State Conventions held ut Harris-
burg will be found to consist of ubout
the sumo number of words, with no
great ditt'eronco In tho number of reso
lutions. I ho antagonism ot ono plat
form to the other is us aharplv defined
as it could possibly be made, und this
appears mainly in ibo frequent chunges
rung in ono ol Ihoin upon a single word,
ft would seem to have the intention ol
tho authors ot tlio platform in (pics
lion, by frequent repetition, to nccus
lorn tho tympanum of tho popular ear
to the vibrations of a high sounding
term that has in it the rankest politi
cal heresy ever sought to be imposed
upon a free people in the modern
world. Tho teeniingly innocent, hut
nevertheless omnipresent, existence of
this ono word sweeps tho w hole plat
form away Irom the domestic concerns
ol tuo Mute, and is meant to give a ill
ration lo popular understanding as
delusive aud dangerous ns was ever
sought b' unholy ambition out of the
coinugu of its own mind.
Tho word "Nation" with its attend
tint adjective "National" invariably
printed with an initial capital letter
occurs seventeen times in the platform
put lorth by the Republican Conven
tion at Hamsbirg in June lust, and
theso tonus run through ten of its
fourteen "plunks " To give it the ben
efit of contrast this pernicious use ol
tho word in the sumo sense is nowhero
to bo found in the plullorm previously
adopted by the Democrats indeed it
occurs but onco therein, and then only
in a subsidiary scnec.
This word, us used, is the pivotal
ilea of the Republican profession ol
faith ; and its presence in almost every
plunk convicts the authors of it ol tie -
liberate duplicity and treachery; it
remands all their utterances to the
pillory of popular suspicion and dis
trust. It is no more nor less than the
shibboleth of a reactionary movement
that claims to consummate repeated
violations of tlio Constitution aud laws
made in pursuanco thereof, in an en
tire upheaval ol the government itself.
To gain a tiear insight into the pur
poses of tho Republican leaders in such
a pluttorm, it is merely necessary to
nolo that til its lourteen subdivisions,
one und a half strictly pcrluio to mat
tors wherein the State is essentially
and exclusively concerned. Jo set
this (act out in clearer light, it may
he observed tlmt of the twelve Dctnrw
emtio resolutions, with which the
former must bo compared, eleven have
rclcrcnco to tho relations ot the peo
pie. Such a cmilrnst cannot bo too
tenaciously kept in mind. The propo
sitions ol tho Republican leaders aB wo
find them in this plutlorm, aro desper
ate expedients grown out of a condi
tion of things, in tho munageinont of
tho olluirs nl the Stato and general
lioverniisent, that has brought plun
der, waste and corruption in legisla
tion and at tho polls to tho ono ; and
ull these things with tho settled pre
liminaries of political anarchy to tbe
other.
A brief examination by way of con
trusting the terms and tenor ol these
two tilulforins will be sufficient to show
which of them holds itsull accountable
to tho people, their rights, their inter
ests and tho general welfare of the
Commonwealth; and which lias merg
ed all tho luulienablo privileges of cil
izonshipand the inadcqttatcd and indi-
feasible independence of the Slate, in
a mockery of professed fealty to the
National Government, which sham of
ull lawlul authority, in Us highest ol
lioo, by a Republican conspiracy re
mains an abiding insult to tho popular
will, anu is ma'io lo reappear in this
platform as tho cherished object of tho

ibo federal Union Is a "Nation.
Tho Republican platform declares

Tbo Democrats that all such measures
aro "imperial methods of supervising
elections and co-orcing tho popular
will; that tho presence of soldiers or
Government official at the polls "de
stroys all freedom of elections and up
turns tho very foundations ol sell gov
ernment.'' Tbo Republican leaders say that
"tho Democratic party has cornmittod
itself to break up tbo Government by
refusing In appropriate moneys already
collected from tho people Ui "protect
tho ballot." Tho Democrats that "tho

"when tbo pooplo assemble to express
their sovereign pleasure at tho polls,"
troops "or hireling officials claiming

Tho Republican Convention lauded
Hayes lor vetoing Congressional meas
ures which refuse to pay tho Deputy
Marshals whoso function, it is said, Is
to "protect tho ballot box." Tho Dom
ocrats say Hayes is a Fraud, tho crea
ture of an unlawful " conspiracy "
against "tho well known and legally
oxprossod will of the people ;" that tho
use of his veto "to maintain unconsti
tulinnal and despotic powor" at tho
polls "is an insult and a mcnaco to the
country."
Tlio Democrats appeal to their fidel
ity to tho "workingman ;" tho Repub
licans call upon "tho veteran soldiors
of the war."
Tho Democrats condemn "tho sys
tem of subsidies by the Genoral Gov
ernment, under which during the peri
od of Bepublican ascendancy, political
rings and corporations have profltted
at tho people's exponso. Thoy con
demn "any appropriation of public
moneys or public credit to ai.y other
object llitih Iho public service."
The Republican Convention wan1
filcnt on this subject.
Tho l!t'publicnus (detlaring in the
same Imulli tbo "United States a Na
tion!,") threaten to oppose "a solid
Notlh" lo "u stdid South." The Detn-
cerate utter no distinction on this head,
anu tlio iniurues oi me people are vital
parts of ono harmonious system, and
1 save euch purt in its whole Consti-
ti mil vigor is to save the life ol the
Nation.
The Democrats condemn "the re
cent, nUctmil under tho personal direc
tion of ruling Repuhlieuii leaders to
debauch tho Legislature hy bribery
and corruption, und to tako from the
Commonwealth four millions of dollars,
lor which its liubilily has never been
ascertained." They declare such an
attempt to be "a fresh und uhirming
evidence of tho aggressiveness of cor
porate power in collusion with politi
cal rings,"
About Ibis business tho Republican
platform is silent. Tbo platform is
silent; the Convention was not. It
howled down delegate Wolfe, gagged
and silenced him when he offered a
resolution .tuniliir to tho ono quoted
above, and pointedly refused lo declare
in favor "of honest men in office."
The Democrats declare that
"Wo look with ularm and apprehen
sion upon tho pretensions of tlio grout
transportation companies to bo above
the fundamental law of this Common
wealth which governs all elao within
our borders, nod until they accept the
Constitution of 1873 in good faith,
I hey should remain objects of tho ut
most vigilanco and jealousy by both
Legislature and people."
The railroad article in the Constitu
tion which the Democrats demand
shull be accepted by the corporations
anil enlorced by Iho Legislature, pro
dibits discriminations against the busi
ness of Pennsylvania, which is system
atically crushing out our domestic in
dustries, and giving tho West immense
advantages over tho furtner und tho
manufacturer, tho producer and con
sumer, of this Commonwealth.
Tho Republicuns ignore and uvoid
this issue. They transfer tho question
of "discrimination in rales of lrcight"
from tho Stale, where they have tho
power to remedy the evil, to tho
"country," where they buve no power,
and content themselves with a vague
declaration of a sentiment, instead ot
the promise of a practical measure.
Tho Constitution needs only to be
enforced to cure all the evils of which
out depressed industries complain, and
this tho Democrats insist unequivocal
ly shall be done. 1 his is tho most im
poitant and pertinent plank in their
plallorin; in it resides unother prool
of tho honesty of the declarations they
have brought belore tho people in this
cumpaicn.
The Republicans said that tho Trees

Goon Ssnss. Judgo Elwell, of Co

recently involving tho pay of an Klec
tion Board, which had incurred tht
expenso of holding a spceiul election
to elect a Burgess, and tho question
was whether tho borough or the coun
ty should pay tho expenses. Tbe
learned Judgu quoted a great deal ot
law, ami, many Acts of Assembly, but
be wound tip in this common sense
way.: "For tho purposo of porforming
any corporate Act it is as necessary
that thcro should be a Burgess in a
borough its that there should bo Su
porvisors in a township. Whon a va
cancy occurs In Iho latter offlco tho
Court may appoint, but a vacancy in
tho office of Burgess must bo filled by
election, and tbo county must pay tho
fees of tho Election Board."

Il would socm that though wheat kai i tbo unjamota i,ue ol political dis
gone steadily upward, tho top level j cuhsjon H tJU treutment of tho freedom
has not yet been reached, anu in mo
contests between the bullB and bears
up to Ibis time, the bears, in spite ol
their most Iranlie etlorts, have come to
grief. It has indeed been a bad year
for iho bears in ull departments of
trade. The wheat crop lor the year
'78 was marketed at low figures. The
lur.tiers wero saying then thai it did
not pay to raise wheat; nevertheless
they put in a larger acreage of wheat
for tho crop of 7!) than that of tho
previous yeur. Tbo year was favorable
and ibo yield per acre was larger and
tho nuulitr of tho crain very fine.
There would have been a glut and a
still lower range of prices but for the
uller failure of tho European crops.
For a whilo the English und French
trade journals put iho most hopeful
fuee on tho matter but Iho truth grud
ually leaked out Tho trustworthy
news always came a littlo worso than
tho first reports. Tho crops in En
gland wore unprecedentodly bad, tho
yield small, ol poor quality and a great
ileal of whut bud been harvested was
spoiled by tbe continuous bad and
ruinry weather. In Franco it was
very little belter. In Hon thorn Russia
iho grasshoppers injured tho crops
severely. There was thus nothing lor
Europe to do but to draw on tho
American surplus ol grain. It was
announced in I'uris some weeks ago
that Franco alone would need one
hundred million bushels ot wheat.
Tho English demand was thought to
bo even lurgcr. But wheat is not the
only crop failure of this year in Europe
There has been a very bad year lor
eattlo food. Tho mill feed of course
shared the scantiness of the grain
harvest, and there has been a short
yield of hay, and ils quulily greatly
damaged by the protracted ruins. Tbis
will necessitate lorger importations ol
our Indian corn for lecding their cattle.
To this the enormous exports of corn
which led to tho erection of our grain
elevators are due. The people of Eu
rope out very littlo corn ; they import
it for their cattle and horses, and their
need for it during the coming winter
will bo larger than ever. Perhaps also
in their present straits the peoplo also
J may learn lo eat it. Our corn crop for
the current year will bo very lurgo.
Il will not bo ready for exportation
until alter tho first cold spell in the
latter part of Novembei or early in
December. Thus, before the wheat
activity has ceased, the movements in
corn will begin. The condition of the
money market and tho rates of foreign
exchungo make it necessary to pay us
in gold. Importations ot European
goods do not balance the exports und
tho trade bulunce is coining to us in

To Whom RiisttMrTioN is Di e
The Grand Rapids (Mich,) Demoaul
and Senator Pendleton, ot Ohio, both
use the proper telescope to look at our
governmental and social economy. Tho
tormcr remarks : "It is Iho industry,
economy and Irugality of tbe peoplo
since tho panic ; the European demand
for our surplus products; the rich yield
of our gold and silver mines, in spile
of the mal administration of the coun
try that bus partly brought about tho
resumption of specie payment, fnd not
tho Secretary of the Treasury." Sena
tor Pendleton, in alluding to tho falla
cies put forth by Mr. Hhormuli's lrionds,
Bays: " 'Tho broken fortunes und bro
ken hearts of tho last leu years will
remain monuments of Republican pol
icy,' and the approach of bettor times,
or tbo tact that tunes are growing no
worse, is not the cause of, but notwitb
standing, this ruinous policy. In the
contest between God's bountilulncss
and vicious legislation the Almighty
beneficence is sure to win in tho long
run, and Iho American energy and en
terpriso, aided by heaven's marvelous
plenty, cannot bo altogether crushed."
C'RucinLE. Tho Lock Haven Demo
ciitt hits tho nail on tbo bead in this
way: "Senator Wallace, in bis recent
speech at Cumberland, spoko of the

manufactures ot the North, and said
that our full measure of prosperity

twocn tho sections. This U so plainly

but for the injury to businoss from the

Krnedman's bank was peculiarly a
Republican institution. 11 wasof their
couci'ption and nwix""ent. D" man
agers were ''Christian stutostnen" of
liiat party, and its agents combined
with tho discharge of their philanthro
pic duties a care lor tho voles ot the
depositors. The little puss books in
which tbey credited tho dusky son of
Hum with tbe deposit of his frugal
earnings wore nicely plastered over
with seripturo texts interspersed with
political mottoes. This whole concern
was a scheme of plunder and over tho
South its victims aro found. Muny of
thorn will suffer years of anguish at
tho fraud practised upon them, and
many already havo gone lo their
graves in sorrow and penury.
It is undeniable that all over the
South, as all over tho North, thcro are
individual cases of ill-treatment or tho
poorer classes, violations of tho civil
rights und exclusion of their personal
privileges, but to charge theso upon
the policy of a whole purty in tho one
section is ua unfair us to muke the
sniue ehargo in another. Hud the
Freedmen's bunk been devised, and its
systematic wronging of 'tuo wards ol
tho Nation" been carried out by South
ern planters or Confederate brigadiers,
the Democracy would have been as
sailed lor it ns evidence ol their imhu
manity and burbarisin. If tho law
that regulates Ihu franchise of foreign
ers in Rhode Island, and tho law of
Massachusetts which excludes many
of its poorer peoplo from the ballot,
were applied in the South today,
thousands of negroes who now voto
would be disfranchised. If tho South
erner wero really disposed to effect
this resell, the' could easily do it in
their legislation. If tho Republican
outrugo-sbiiekers should havo corn
measured to them in their own bushel,
tbey would soon be stnrved. Lanent
