Wanted at the Cross !toads
I was In a hurry.to reach home. No
wonder, for It was the Wildest night I
had ever known in all my life, and the
country over which 1 took my way as

sequently I was walking at a great rate,
with the collar of my rough coat over
my ears, and a comforter tied over my
soft hat and under my chin, to keep It

denly a man stood full in my path and
caught me by the arm.
"11ullo ! " said he, " You're just iu

to-night !"

I fancied myself attacked by a high

to show him by my manner that I was

" What the deuce . am I wanted at the
cross roads for?" said I. " Unless I
choose it wilf be a very hard matter to

But instead of producing, a pistol and
demanding my money or my life, the
man answered in an altered tone.
"Iteg pardon, I made a mistake. I

" Very," said I.

even went across the passage to my
mother's room. She was awake; there
had been no unusual sound she was

Only a (trey born of my meeting the

At last he also began to huddle on his

"But fancy another man, going out

Llon Hunting
Every day, from sunrise to sunset, I
was either on foam' in the saddle, with
outresting except upon Sundays, which
I generally passed ut home, with the
relaxation of fishing in the beautiful
river Settite. There was an immense
quantity of large game, and 1 had made
a mixed bag of elephants, hippopotami,
buffaloes, rhinoceros, giraffes, and great
numbers of the large antelopes. Lions,
although numerous, were exceedingly
difficult to bag; there was no chance
but in the extreme risk of creeping
through the thickest jungle. Upon two
or three occasions I had shot them hy
crawling into their very dens, where
they had dragged their prey ; and
must acknowledge that they were much
inure frightened at me than I was at
them. I had generally obtained a most
difficult and unsatisfactory shot at close
quarters ; sometimes I rolled them over
with a mortal wound, and they disap
peared to die in impenetrable jungle;
but at all times fortune was on my side.
(hi moonlight nights I generally lay
In wait for these animals with great
patience; sometimes I shot hippopo
tami and used a hindquarter as a bait
for lions, while I watched in ambush at
about twenty yards distance; but the
hyaenas generally appeared like evil
spirits and dragged away the bait before
the lions had a chance. I never fired at
these scavengers, as they are most use
ful creatures, and are contemptible as
game. My Arabs had made their for
tune, as 1 had given them all the meat
of the various animals ; which they dried
and transported to (Jeers, together with
rut, hides, ikc. It would be wearying
to enumerate the happy hunting days
passed throughout this country. We
were never ill for a moment; although
the thermometer was seldom below gSt°
during the day,the country was healthy,
as it was intensely dry, and therefore
free from malaria; at night the ther
mometer averaged 70°, which was a
delightful temperature for those who
exist in the open air.
As our camp was full of meat, either
dried or in the process of drying in fes
toons upon the trees, we had been a
great attraction to the beasts of prey
that constantly prowled around our
thorn fence during the night. One
night in particular a lion attempted to
enter, but had been repulsed by the
Takrooris, who pelted him with fire
brands ; my people woke me up, begged
me to shoot him, but as it was perfectly
Impossible to fire correctly through the
hedge of thorns, I refused to be dis
turbed; yet I promised to hunt for him
on the following day. Throughout the
entire night the lion prowled around the
camp, growling and uttering his pecu
liar guttural sigh. Not one of my peo
ple slept, as they declared he would
bound into the camp and take some
body, unless they kept up the watch
fires and drove him away with brands.
The next day, before sunrise, I called
Hasan and Hadjl. Ali, whom I lectured
severely upon their cowardice on a for
mer occasion, and received their promise
to follow me to death, f intrusted them
with. my two Reillys No. 10 ;
and with
my little Fletcher in hands, I deter
mined to spend the whole day searching
every thicket of the forest for lions, as
I felt convinced that the animal that
bad disturbed us during the night was
concealed somewhere within theneigh
boring jungle.
The whole day passed fruitlessly ; I
had crept through the thickest thorns
in vain ; having an abundance of meat,
I had refused the most tempting shots
at buffaloes and large antelopes, as I
had devoted myself exclusively to lions.
1 was much disappointed, as the eve
ning had arrived without a shot having
been fired, and as the Bun had merely
set I wandered slowly towards home;
Passing througn alternate open glades
a few yards In width, hemmed in on all
sides by thick jungle, I was carelessly
carrying my rifle upon my shoulder as
I pushed my way through theepposing
thorns, when a sudden roar, just before
me, at once brought the rifle upon full
cock, and I saw a magnificent lion
standing iu the middle of the glade,
about ten yards from me; he had
been lying on the ground, and
had started to his feet upon hearing
me approach through the jungle. For
an instant he stood in an attitude of at-
tentlou, as we were hardly visible ; but
at the same moment I took a quick but
sure shot with the little Fletcher. He
gave a convulsive bound but rolled
over backwards; before he could re
cover himself I fired the left hand bar
rel. It was a glorious sight. I had
advanced a few steps into the glade,
and Hassan had quickly handed me a
spare rifle, while Tither Noor stood by
me sword hi hand. The lion in the
greatest fury, with his shaggy mane
bristling in the air, roared with death
like growls, as open-mouthed he en
deavored to charge upon us; but he
dragged his hind-quarters upon the
ground, and I saw Immediately that the
little Fletcher had broken his spine. In
his tremendous exertions to attack
he rolled over and over, gnashing his
horrible jaws, and tearing holes lu the
sandy ground at ears blow of his tre
mendous paws that would have crushed
a mans skull like an egg shell. Seeing
thrall° was hors do combat, I took it
cooly, as it was already dusk, and the
lion having rolled into a dark and thick
bush, I thought it would be advisable
to defer the final attack, as he would be
dead before morning. Wo were not ten
minutes' walk from the camp, at which
we quickly arrived, and my men greatly
rejoiced at the discomfiture of their
enemy, as they were convinced that ho
was the same lion that had attempted to
enter the zareeba.
On the following •morning, before
sunrise, I started with nearly all my
people and a powerful camel, with the
intention of —bringing the lion home
entire. I rode my horse Tete!, as he
had frequently shown great courage,
and I wished to prove whether ho would
advance to the body of a lion.
Upon arriving near the spot which
we supposed to have been the scene of
the encounter, weVere rather puzzled,
as there was nothing to distinguish the
locality; one place exactly resembled
another, as the. country 'was flat and
sandy, interspersed with thick jungle
of green nabbuk; we aceOrdingly spread
out to r beaefor the lion.' 'Presently Had
j All cried out, "There he lies dead!"
and I immediately rode to the spot, to
gether with the people. A tremendous
roar greeted me, as the lion started to
his forefeet, and with his beautiful
mane erect, and 'his great hazel eyes
flashing fire; he gave a succession of
dqep, short roars, and challenged us to
fight. This was a grand picture; he
looked like a true lord of the forest; but
I pitied the poor brute, as he was help
less, and although the spirit was genie
to the last, his strength was paralyzed
by a broken back.
It was a glorious opportunity for the
horse. At the first unexpected roar the
camel' had bolted with its rider, and the
men had scattered, but In an instant I
had reined Tetel up, and I now rode
straight towards the lion, as he courted
, the encounter about twenty paces dis
tant. I halted exactly opposite the
noble looking beast, which, seeing me
in advance of the party, increased his
rage and he howled deeply, fixing his

but as I constantlypatted and coaxed

checked him when within about six
yards from the lion. This would have
made a magnificent picture, as the horse
with astounding courage, faced the lion
at bay ; both animals kept •their eyes
fixed upon each other, the one beaming
with rage, and the other with cool de

and he stood firm as a rock, for he

at the head of the glorious but distressed

dropped him dead. Tetel never flinched
at a shot. I now dismounted, and having
patted and coaxed the horse, I led him
up to the body of the lion, which I also
hatted, and then gave my hand to the
orse to smell. He snorted ; once or
twice, and as I released my hold of the
reins and left him entirely free, he
slowly lowered his head, and sniffed

A Curious Character
Live• Forever Jones—Reminiscences el
the Most Re liable Madman on
Record.
trrom the St. Louis Advocnte.l
Leonard Jones was born in Virginia, I
July 3; 1797, came to Union county,
Ky., with his parents in 1904; in young
manhood was a land speculator, and
amassed a considerable fortune; was
engaged to be married to a worthy lady
of high social position in Central Ken
tucky. The engagement was broken off
and he then removed to Indiana and
turned his thoughts to religion. Disap
pointment In love seems to have been
the cause of his strange and erratic
course in after life. Ho joined the
United Brethren, then the Methodists,
and next the Shakers at Pleasant Hill,
in Mercer county, By., all within a few
years. While among the Shakers he
"fell in love" with "Sister Nancy,"
the former wife of Brother John. He
told John and Nancy of his passion.
"John became greatly incensed, and
cut up a lilac, but was really not much
displeased." To cure his love fit he
entered upon a fast of forty days, and
soon became so weakened as to take
to his bed. The brethren endeav
ored to induce him to give up hie
fast, and he consented to do so on con
dition that "Sister Nancy would feed
him with her own hands." She pre
pared him a savory meal and set It on a
table beside him. He eagerly devoured
it and " was much refreshed." Re-
membering that ho had eaten from a
table and not the fair sister's hand, he
entered upon a second fast, vowing he
ne'er would eat again "till Nancy fed
him with her own hands." Thereupon
she became enraged, and declared " she
would not feed him to save his life," and
said he, "I broke my fast, us the condi
th», could not be "complied with."—
J anti and Nancy subsequently returned
to "the world," and spent the residue
of life in happy wedlock. Mr. Jones
conveyed to the Shakers 5,000 acres of
land in Illinois, east of Mt. Louis, now
very valuable. At the age of thirty
eight and a half years he leftthe Shakers,
having spent six and a half years with
them. Soon after he encounterd a Mor
mon preacher and was baptized, but, not
receiving the promised giftof tongue, he
immediately gave up Mormonism. He
next encountered a strange genius
named McDaniel, who was preaching
that "man by faith ran live forever," in
this lower world. He immediately em
braced the "live-forever doctrine." He
and McDaniel laid oil' "the capital city
of the world," where Columbus, Ken
tucky, now stands ; where all the "live
forever faith" were to dwell; where
death, radius and grave yards were to
be unknown. A contest for supremacy
arising between the two, it was deter
mined to decide the question by looking
each other steadily In the eye, with their
noses about twelve inches apart; the
one that quailed under the other's gaze
was to be subordinate. Like two en
raged rats they glared upon each other
for two hours, when "one proposed an
armistice and the other agreed to
it," but, said he, "we never found
it convenient to resume hostili
ties." "You have no idea," he con
tinned," "how painful a two hours'
steady gaze into another luau's eye is.
It is absolutely awful." The city laid
off, he and McDaniel started east to
make converts, but the latter took sick
and died in the State of Ohio. The
death of McDaniel shook Leonard's
faith for a few weeks, and he was "very
much embarrassed when he came to
preach the funeral " of his deceased co
laborer,lu the live-for-ever gospel. With
the death of Mr. McDaniel the new
gospel and the capital city failed, but
Mr. Jones continued to avow his faith
in the truth of his theory, and affirmed
that he would never die. In 1850 he
called upon the `writer to pray for
him in an attack of cholera. His
request was complied with, and
after his recovery he claimed "great
credit for not dying," saying that
his faith had saved his life. After
the death of McDaniel he turned his at
tention to politics. He thought the pol
ides of the nation needed reforming,
and that he was chosen.of the Lord
to effect the needed reformation.
He eschewed existing politics, and
became the head of the "High
Moral" party. No man was to fill
the office except on "High Moral
principles." He ran for Congress in the
Pathicah district, but was defeated by
Lyon Boyd. He ran in after years suc
cessively, but not successfully, for Con
gress in several other districts, but
received but few if

candidate for ti , feur.ice for twenty years.
Eighteen years ago he told the writer
that God was working for him. That
lie had removed General 'Taylor from
the office which belonged to himself;
had killed Sir Robert Peel, of Eng
land, :because he dissuaded queen
Victoria from complying with his
demand upon her to arouse the British
nation in his behalf, and had removed
Bishop Bascom, because he refused to
enlist the Methodist Church in behalf
of the "high moral" aspirant. He has
Invoked the aid of all churches in behalf
of his " high moral" scheme, and has
denounced them all as apostate, because
they did not enlist the churches in his
behalf. He has. also had it in contem
plation to run for United States Sena
torship in Massachusetts. He has insti
tuted suits against all the Presidents for
twenty years for the place they occupy.
Re was a regular church-goer, dividing
his time among the churches, always
taking a front seat, and sometimes
" speaking in meeting." None of our
bishops have visited Louisville without
hearing of or encountering him. He
attended the courts, and sometimes
demanded a hearing as a lawyer in
behalf of some person or cause that
awakened his sympathies, and
sometimes got in jail by his
untimely interference. He attended.
all the lectures and occasionally was
disposed to wrangle with the lecturer.
A political meeting was not held in hie
vicinity without his presence, and he
often claimed his "say" among the
speakers. Religiously he was demon
strative if alkiwed se to be, and politi
cally, as a speaker, he was "uproarious."
He roared like one possesed; he jumped
up and down, stamped,kicked, clapped,

was an earnest Southern sympathizer.
While in Minnesota he made 'a speech
against the draft in a court-housewbere
it was going on, for which he was taken
out of the house and soundly kicked by
several loyal citizens. He said he did
not mind the physical discomfort of the
loyal kicking administered to him, but
lie gravely objected to "the indignity
of being kicked." Except on the sub

no appearance of insanity about him ;

The Corner or Corn.
For the information of the general
reader, we may state that the "corner"
is usually operated in this wise; A
clique of operators go into the market
and buy, from all who will sell, a large
quantity of grain for future delivery,
the seller agreeing to deliver it at the
end of the month. The clique also
buy up all the grain that:comes into the
city, or so much of it as is necessary to
keep the control of the market in their
own hands. The sellers, or "shorts,"
defer buying the grain they have con
tracted to deliver, till the end of the
month in order to savokthe cost of stor
age, and are then obliged to buy from
the clique, at exorbitant prices, the
grain which must be redelivered to
them. A large majority of the opera
tors being in the habit of buying and
selling these " options," both on their
own account and for parties outside,
who hope to make money on the turn
of the markets, it is possible for the
clique to buy a million bushels or even
more, before the scheme is discovered,
and the "corner" combination can
then afford to sustain a loss of several
cents per bushel on the grain left on
hand after the "corner" has matured,
the difference being more than made up
by the previous gain.
Of course, the profit comes s from the
sudden pressure of buyers. The opera
tors who undertook to deliver grain yes
terday can not defer it till to-day with
out losing his standing on the Board,
or in other words, failing. The credit
is run up by the fact that so many, peo
ple are obliged to buy at the same in
stant. To obviate the possibility of
similar pressures in the gold market,
the Board of " Cold Brokers, in New
York City, adopted a rule some three
years ago, which has been found to
work well, allowing "short sellers" to
defer the time of delivery in such cases,
on payment of a small per centage for
each day of delay. The Board of Trade
of this city have now under considera•
tion a proposal to adopt the same
rule to our grain markets, making
the forfeiture a quarter of a cent on
each per bushel per day. The adoption
of the rule would undoubtedly be a
great obstacle if not an effectual preven
tive, to corner combinations in the
future; but it might seriously Impair•
the obligation of contracts by putt/lug it
into the power of the seller to hold back
grain after the buyer had made arrange
ments to send it away. His the opinion
of some of our leading operators that the
forfeiture ought not to be less than one
cent on the bushel per day, as the mar
ket will often fluctuate by that amount
from legitimate causes, and no rule
ought to be adopted which will shield the
seller from ordinary risks, to the detri
ment of the man who has bought in good
faith.
An unusual share of attentirn has
been attracted to this subject ou the
part of our business men, from the fact
that the President of the Board,—E. V.
Bobbins, Esq., a gentleman of well
known probity—has been obliged to
succumb to the pressure of the corner
on corn. The firm of welch ho is the
senior partner has failed, the liabilities
being estimated at. about $90,0110. Mr.
Bobbins yesterday tendered his resig
nation as President of the Board. His
resignation had not been accepted. Mr.
Bobbins being, in common with others,
a victim to what may be called a " con
spiracy."
Cutting Stalks
To those who adhere to the old prac
tice of cutting stalks, under the impres
slons that the corn is benetitted there
by, we commend the following para.
graph on that subject, taken from
Allen's American Farm Book :
"The stalks of corn should never be
cut above the ear, but always near the
ground, and for this obvious reason:
the sap which nourishes the grain is
drawn from the earth, and passing
through the stem enters the leaf, where
a change Is effected, analogous to what
takes place in the blood, when brought to
the surface of the lungs in the animal
system; but with this peculiar differ
ence, however, that while the blood
gives out carbon and absorbs oxygen,
h!ants under the influence of light and
eat, give out oxygen, and absorb car
bon. This change prepares the sap for
condensation and converstion into the
grain. But the leaves which thus di
gest the food for the grain are above it,
and it is while passing downward that
the change of sap into grain principally
takes place. If the stalks be cut above
the ear nourishment is at an end. It
may then become firm and dry, but it
will not increase in quantity—while if
cut near the root, It not only appropri
ates the sap already in the plant, but it
also absorbs additional matter from the
atmosphere, which contributes to its
weight and perfection.
The ploughman in speaking on this
subject says, "many experiments have
been made to test the comparative ad
vantages of the two methods, but so far
as we know they all tend to the same
results—that is, a gain of from five to
ten bushels an acre by cutting at the
root and stooking. Mr. Clark of Nor
thampton, Mass„ who tried the thing
with great care, found that an acre of
topped corn lost from six to eight bush
els of grain by the process, while the
loss of stover was also very considerable.
The most experienced farmers are
careful in securing the whole of the
stover, and they would regard this top
ping process as a great and unnecessary
waste of a valuable feeding substance,
as much so as if they should attempt to
secure their crop of timothy hay by
" topping.''
An Enoch Arden Law Case
Middlesex county, Conn., has an
Enoch Arden, differing from Tenny
son's only in the most important par
ticulars. About ten sears ago Edwin
Dudley, who lived In one of the towns
in the lower portion of the county, left
his wife and two children on pretense
of going to another town, but did not
return. Six or seven years elapsed, and
nothing being beard from the husband,
the deserted wife believed him dead,
and contracted a marriage with Israel
S. Burr. In the course of time Dudley
wrote to his wife, informing her that
he still lived that lie left his family
" because he had a grudge against the
town and wanted to compel it to sup
port his wife and children," and that
he had been to California. Upon this
Information being received, the wife
applied for and obtained a divorce from
Burr, and on the return of her former
husband, was remarried to him. Burr
left town, but afterward returned and
sued Dudley to recover $1,500 alleged to
have been expended in supporting and
educating his two children. The case
was tried at the present term of the Su
perior Court of - Haddam, and resulted
in a verdict for Burr of $950.
THE "Wickedest Man" is paid $350
a month for the use of his bar room for
one hour a day for religious meetings,
provided the sale of whiskey and the
former business of the place are discon
tinued during that period. The con
tract runs to October 1. The Howard
Mission people deny that this money is
for rent, but for the support of nine girls
whom Allen maintains, to keep them
from pursuing their former evilcalling.
Kit Burns is to lease hie rat pit one hour
a day, for prayer meetings, for $l6O a
month. Tommy Haddon is said to have
simulated reform to escape punishment
at the next General Sessions, for shang
haing a citizen of Brooklyn.
John Allen seems to have made a
mess of his' lecturing project. He pro
fessed to have resolved to follow it till
he had earned $lOO,OOO, with which he
would found a Magdalen Asylum up the
Korth River,and install himself as chief
manager. But John coundn't let whisky
alone, hence his opening effort as a
speaker, on Friday night, at Stamford,
Connecticut, was a wretched failure, the
man being too far gone in delirium ire•
mene to be presentable. His two agents
were both keepers of Water-street dance
houses. They bad received •$4 60 for
admission, and would probably have
taken, in all, $5O, but were obliged to
shut up the hall and return the money.

this too:llladreet of
the beau tiful
of tl4o l6A l
ing
there an assemblage of citizens, my
voice could hardly reach a tenth part of
them; my eye even could not reach to the
extended line of the procession with their
banners flying and their torches blazing
in the midnight air. .It was a great
gathering, which gave strength to the
hearts .and courage to the men of Phila
delphia who are battling for the
cause of the Constitution and of liberty
against those who are furnishing men and
money to break down both. (Applause.)
I left the city and weut over into the Cum
berland valley, and everywhere thousands
came out to hear the discussion of the
truth. I then crossed the Allegheny moun
tains to the city of Pittsburg, the politics of
which have been as black as the smoke
which hangs forever over that prosperous
city. line, too, thousands came out. Then
back again over the Alleghenies, down the
Lehigh valley, and so home, and I am glad
to tell you, men of New York, that our
Pennsylvania patriots are aroused, and the
signs of the times indicate that on Tuesday
next a victory will be gained there by the
cause of the Constitution and the Union
which will send a thrill of joy to the hearts
of the men of New York and of the nation.
[Applause.] All through that State and
all through this State men are gathering
in vast crowds to hear the discussion of
the issues of the day. The cry goes up
from the masses of the people, and the
cry has gone up for the last three years for
peace. "Things have not gone right."
That is the language which the people use.
And the people meet to argue and reason
why, and the people are determined to know
the reason why, and the people are going
to understand the reason why. You go
among the gatherings of our Itadical oppe•
manta, and you will find that they ignore
the issues of the day. They decline to dis
cuss the question of reconstruction, and of
taxation. They are fighting over the battles
of the war, and the men who fight heartiest
now are the men who fought least when
the - var was in progress. (Laughter and
applause.) They met in this great city of
New York to celebrate the anniversary
of the battle of Antietam, and among all
who gathered there professing to be soldiers
and generals, not one had the manhood of
character to mention the name of the great
general—(great cheering for McClellan)—
who fought the battle and won it—Geo; ge
McClellan. (Renewed cheering for "Lit
tle Mac.") 'lshey Insult the patriotism of
the great mass of the Northern poopte by
claiming that the victories of the war were
victories of party, when they know that the
men who made up the rank and file came
front the Democratic masses as well as from
the Republican masses. (Applause.) They
know that the mon who led the army came
from the Democratic masses 89 well as the
Republican masses, and they know there
was no place noon the face of this broad,con
tinent which sent forth more men and gave
more money to support and defend the
country in its hour of trial than this great
Democratic City of New York. (Great
cheering.) They have ignored the Consti
tution of the country; they have legislated
in disregard of it, and having done so, they
have passed acts depriving the Supreme
Court of the United States of the power to
sit in Judgment on them. They have tied
up the hands of the President of the United
Stales so much so that all the men In Mike
who are now plundering the Government
and plundering the people are kept Moltke
because of the acts of Congress depriving
the President of the power of removal with
out the consent of a Radical Senate. Why,
in their Chicago platform they oppose " the
shameless extravagance and waste in this
country, fostered by Andrew Johnson,"
utterly disregarding that of the Radical
Congress. [Applause.] If you look at the
platform of this party In 1860 and 1864 you
will fled that it declared allegiance to the
Constitution and the Union, and their firm
belief in the rights of the States. But if
you look at the platform of 18GS adopted
at Chicago, you will find that there is
nothing of the kind there in reference to
the Constitution or the rights of the States.
If you will rend the letters of acceptance
by the candidates whom they have placed
in nomination for President and Vice
President, you will find that there is nut in
those letters, from .beginning to end, one
single mention of the Constitution and the
rights of the States. It is well that it should
be so. It is well that they should show that
they have denounced the Constitution ; that
they have openly ignored the rights of the
sovereign and independent States. It would
be futile for them to go before the people
and proclaim their allegiance and devotion
to the one or the other. My friends, they
have gone beyond all this. They have over
burdened the people of this country with
taxation. I shall not discuss the subject at
any length. But they have drawn, us
has been stated, to you to-night from
the people of this country in three
years more than fifteen hundred millions of
dollars, and that in connection with the es
timates of the current year, is nearly as
much as was expended by the Government
for seventy years before the war. Having
incurred this vast expenditure, having
taken from the people this vast amount of
money, the people now come to them and
call for un account. They obtained posses
sion of the Government upon the platform
which declared that the war should be
carried on to maintain and preserve the
Union, the maintenance of the Constitution,
and the rights of the States. They have
obtained the money and spent it, and
give no account of it hut a false account.
Mr Atkinson, who has been alluded
to, claims that the ordinary expenses of
the Government since the war have only
averaged ninety-three millions of dollars a
year, and quotes Mr. Welles as authority;
but Mr. Welles in his last financial report
shows that this expenditure of the ordinary
expenses of the Government since the war
hays exceeded the expense of the Govern
ment for the four years before the war more
than 200 per cent. They claim. We claim
in the Democratic platform, that the bonds
of the country which the law does not pro
vide, shall be paid in gold should be paid
in the currency of the country. They have
been declaring that since this war ended
they have paid about t 500,000,000 of debt in
that currency, which the Democratic party
says is good enough to extinguish the resi
due of it. (Applause.) Mr. Atkinson in
that statement of his declares that they have
paid off $.800,000,000 of the debt. If true, it
has been paid in the legal currency of the
country, and if they have paid off any
amount of the debt in that legal currency
of the country, I ask you, citizens, what do
they mean when they say the Democratic
platform is ono of repudiation. I have not
come here to-night to make to you a lengthy
speech. There aro others here to address
you, my distinguished associate. Mr. Beach,
Richard O'Gorman, knowdto all of you, and
others,who will address you at length. [Ap
plause.] I have other stands to go to, other
places to speak at this night. 13ut I wish to
call the attention of the business men of
New York to one other single suggestion.
It has been well said here to-night by the
distinguished gentleman who preceeded me
(the Hon. H. C. Murphy), that the acts of
Congress, reconstructing as they say the
Southern States, were unconstitutional and
void. They themselves have admitted that
they were unconstitutional. We declare
that they are unconstitutional, revolution
ary, and void. How do we propose to
maintain it? How do we propose to assert
it? How do wo propose to insist upon it?
Why, we say that the Congress of the coun
try could so adjudge, that the Congress of
the country have so adjudged the fact is es
tablished, that when we come in power we
will reorganize and reconstruct according
to the Constitution or the land. [Ap
plause.) If that be "revolutionary" let
them make the most of it. But will you
tamely submit to acts of Congress pertain
ing to reorganizing and reconstructing the
Southern States, which, instead of reorgan
izing and reconstructing, are acts admitted
to be outside of the Constitution. Will you
take your stand in this election and say
that the new Congress which is Rent by the
people shall legislate upon the same ques
tions, and will you say that the Supreme
Court of the United States shall not have
the shackles taken off of it and be permitted
to sit in judgment upon these unconstitu
tional acts of the revolutionary Congress?
(Applause.) Look to it, men of New York,
I speak to the business men of New York,
I speak to the men who claim to represent '
the wealth of New York. I speak to
the men who claim to pay the
taxes of New York, and ask them
where their security is for property or mere
personal liberty, if a partisan Congress can
pass unconstitutional laws, andaay that the
Supreme Court shall not sit in judgment
upon them and usurp all the powers of the
Government to overthrow all the indepen
dent departments. Have you, men of New
York, no solicitude? and do you not, who
own Government securities, owning any
security or any property, feel that you can
be safe in your investments or your prop
erty by allowing a partisan Congress,which
assumes tolegisiate in thexiame of the Con
stitution againstthe Constitution and then
to say that the Supreme Court shall not sit
in judgment upon them? Yon say that then
beware of the safety of your property as
well as of your personalliberty. If yon do,
you show less judgment, business men , of
New York, than you show in the manage
ment of any practical affairs of yours.—
[Applaute.] There is the whole explana
tion. There lathe whole point, in my judg
ment, upon this question of the revolution
ary, void, and unconstitutional character
of these laws of Congress. But I have
one word more to say to the business men
of New York. I meet men of business in
the streets, I meet them in the social circle,
tineet them in their:On:SSW busineei,Mid
I maitold . by . thent sometimes :that in 'alp
temptztevy tnottangethe oOndition oftblngs
in the Southern Stems would,bree4 mischief,
produce confusion; and unkettle plans. I
havenner word to say to them, and I desire
that they, will :ponder upon it. Do you
thielt; my business friends of New York.
do' You 'think that there is any order or
quiet , there now? • Does the present
condition . of , things in the • Southern
States, 'under 'Radical reorganization,
in
vite your capital sown there? 'Did not:
business. men meet in this' city within
one month and declare that, they
men i
would give no credit to business menthe
1 Southern States, by reason of the unsettled
condition there ; and if Radical reconstrue
ton and reorganization is CO be perpetuated
how long will it be before you will repeal
the resolution and give credit? I desire,
my. business friends in the City of New
York, to give you an illustration of Rad
ical reconstruction and Radical reorgazd•
zation. I point you to the State of Ten
nessee. It is a pet State of Radicalism.
It has a Governor who is a high man among
them, a choice man among Radicals. It has
a Radical Legislature; it has the negro up
and the white man down. It has the whole
system of Radical reconstruction illustrated
in its condition, and what do you find?
Chaos and confusion everywhere. White
men seeking protection for their lives,
black men claiming they are not sale,
whites representing the disfranchised peo
ple, and others representing the so-called
Government, going to the capitol of
the country to seek the aid of the
general Government to preserve peace
and order within their limits. And my
business friends of New York,' you find
one thing more. You find the securities of
that Radical reconstructed State are to-day
less than seventy cents on the dollar. How
long will those things last? Do you tell me
that the white men are discontented and
that they are the cause of the trouble? Who
would not be discontented with the black
man placed above them, with a bayonet at
their breasts? [Applause.] I will draw
another picture and a true ono. Look at
the State of Kentucky lying close by Tenn
essee, just as much a Southern State in her
faith, just as much a Southern State in her
education and training as the State of Tenn
essee. It is a State which gave, a few weeks
ago, ninety thousand Democratic majority.
[Great applause.] A majority which was
hailed throughout this country by the Rad
ical press as ninety thousand " rebel ma
jority." But, call It what you will—for the
purpose of illustration call it what you
will, it is ninety thousand majority against
Radicalism, and that is enough for me.
[Laughter and applause.] Now, my busi
ness friends of New York, look at Kentucky
under Democratic rule and what do you
find? You find perfect peace and order
within the limits of the State ; you find the
black man and the white man living there
side by side in perfect quiet and on the best
of terms ; you find the black man has all
his rights and nothing more. You find the
white man has all his rights and nothing
lees. You find everything quiet and orderly.
Business prosperous; the State taxation lies
than it is in almost any Northern State; the
State debt being diminished, and the bonds
of the State of Kentucky selling in the lour
lot 'of New York to•day at par. [Ap
plause.] Now, business men of New
York, which do you like best, Tennessee
under Radical reconstruction, eir Ken
tucky uuder Democratic rule. (Voices,
"Kentucky" and cheering.) Facts are the
best arguments anywhere. I might discuss
reconstruction acts until the end of time. I
might give my views upon their constitu
tionality, but facts like these two great
States standing almost side by side, one
with collision within her borders and the
other with peace; one with sincerity and
the other without ; one where the rights of
the black and the white man are alike pro
tected. They are the facts I say I leave for
the business men of New York to Judge
which they like best, reconstruction us it is
in Tennessee, or Democratic government as
it is in Kentucky? (Applause.) Now, my
friends,l have been among the people of
my St ate, and, as I toldyou, among the
people of Pennsylvania. Everywhere Igo
they are disposed to listen. They want
to inquire into these things, and the
spirit is moving among the people.—
They are not satisfied, they never
will be satisfied, with this class of
electioneering pursued by our Radical op
ponents, which ignores discussion, ignores
argument, and keeps up a continual feeling
of hate between men or different parties in
the North and men of different sections. It
is in vain to cry out peace If you will per
sist in fanning flames of fire of sectional
prejudices or hate. There can be no pence
under such an administration. There can
be no peace under such a policy. No gov
ernment can be bound together by any oth
er bonds than the bonds of love. And,
when the men.who had been in rebellion
against the Government laid down their
arms, and bad a promise of protection made
to them from the Government, under the
Constitution, they were not promised a
Freedmen's Bureau, with universal negro
suffrage and white disfranchisement, and
the party in power three and a half years
after the surrender claiming that they
wets still out of the Union. That was
not the promise made to them. I
say to you, business men of New York,
keep your pledges, if not for their sake for
your own. (Applause.) You are interested.
The burdens of taxation are nearly all on
you. The South does hardly anything.
One single Congressional District in New
York pays more income tax than the whole
ten Southern States. One single district
will continue to pay it unless you interfere
and elect a party of love and not of j ealousy
and hate; a party which is a party of unison
, and not of separation; which rests upon
the Constitution, and which secures to all
the people of the land, under the Consti
tution and the judgment of the courts,
their rights of person and their rights of
property. My friends, pardon me from
any further remarks. I will address yon,
perhaps, later in the campaign, more at
length upon these issues, but I give way
now with one single closing remark to my
distinguished associate upon the ticket, the
next Lieutenant-Governor of the State.
(Great cheering.) Shall I stand to you to
talk of candidates of the ticket? I will not
do it. I have said elsewhere, and I say
now, and I desire my saying to go to the
people in the city, that I have no word of
disparagement to utter against the leader
of my opponents. They ienve the stars on
his shoulder, but they take them from the
flag. I am willing they should sit
on his shoulder, but I insist they
shall stay on the flag. [(treat cheer
ing.] And I desire to say only this In
closing—only with this one word—that, as
you would not choose to perform any duty
you desired or any work you desired a man
not bound to it and a man not accustomed
to the work, so, in time of peace, you want
no soldier at the head of this Government.
[Applause.] Take lessons from the past.
No Government ever prospered In time of
peace which chose for its leaders, in time of
peace, men trained to the sword and to the
sword alone. You want a statesman, you
want a man educated and trained to mat
ters of statesmanship, and although politi
cians may cavil, although Radical presses
and Radical orators may denounce him,
there does not live within the limits of the
Empire State, or in any of the States of
the country, a purer man, a better Christian,
or an abler statesman than Horatio Sey
mour is. [Long and loud cheeri ng]—tin ring

The following letter from Gen. McClellan
was read at the great Democratic meeting
and parade which came off in New York
city on the evening of the sth inst. The
parade comprised PO,OOO persons, and the
crowd at the meeting filled Tammany Hall,
and surrounded six stands outside. lien.
Baldy Smith presided in the Hall. It will
be seen that the General unequivocally pro
nounces himself for the Democratic candi
dates, as he believes the restoration of the
Union depends upan their success:
NEW You.u. October sth, 1808.
To Douglas Taylor Esq., Chairman, etc.—
My Dear Sir :—I have the pleasure to ac
knowledge the receipt of your invitation to
preside over the Democratic meeting of
Monday next.
I have long since determined to abstain
from further participation in political life,
and therefore find myself compelled to de
cline the honor you proffer me. I should,
however, be glad to attend the meeting as
a private citizen, did not engagements of a
domestic nature render imperative my long
absence from the city upon the day in ques
tion. I gladly avail myself of this oppor
tunity to express toy continued hearty
sympathy with the Democratic cause, and
my ardent wishes for the success of those
Constitutional principles for which the re
cent war was undertaken by the North.
Separated, as I thus am, from the ;distin
guished soldier who has been chosen as the
leader of our opponents, I know that you
will agree with me in the highest respect for
the services he has:rendered our country ;
but it is my.conviction that the measure of
the party which has placed him in nomina
tion are but continuation& of strife, and can
never restore peace or constitutional supre
macy, and thereby complete the work he
and other brave soldiers so ably commenced.
The war was not the first epoch in the his
tory of the struggle in which we have been
so long engaged.
The work of the soldier is, I think, for
ever ended, and it remains for the people
to fulfil the.great objects for which they or
their sons and brothers were called to the
field. A restored union of States and
hearts; an invigorated Constitution to be
firmly and faithfully supported ; the main
tenance of the national credit inviolate ; a
re-establishment of national and State rights
in all their integrity, and thus true harmony
and a lasting peace. These are the objects
for which every citizen should now strive,
and believing these to rest on the success
of the eminent statesman selected to repro
sent the party, it is my intention to sustain
that cause as a private citizen. With the
request that you will convey to the gentle
men of the committee and any other friends
for whom you act my sincere thanks for
the compliment they have paid me, I am,
I most truly, yours,
GEO. B. MC'CLELLAN.
