SENATOR CONELING, ex-Senator Filly-

delegates at the New York Republican
State Convention.

Burks county, foi the Democracy de=
dined in their convention to recom•

else the eity of " Fraud" has not been
loud and long.
GEN. GRANT sailed on the 3d of Sep
temlx3r for tome in thoSte,amship city of
Yokio, from , Yokohaina,i, and will prob
ably arrive in r San Francisco, on the 20th
Of September. He will have au enthu
siastic\ reception in that city, and in his
journey across the continent will meet
with a constant ovation froni his fellow
citizens. -
Tnr. amount of grain and provisions
We_are now sending , abroad is very large.
"'Over foul; and a half million bushels of
wheat were shipped to Europe last week
fro:tit our principal Atlantic ports, and
during the six weeks ending last Satur
daKOur exports of wheat exceeded 'those
f';r the corresponding period of *B7B by
thiT enormous amount of 9;970,000
bushels.
SAM RANDALL lately addressed his fel
low-Democrats at Norristown. He had
.the sublime effrontery to declare that
Providence and a Democratic Congress
.working together secured Resumption,
and that the Republicans are entitled to
•
no credit 'Whatever for the succcs. ;No
,
body t thit SAM RASPALL would dare to
name Providence in connection with a
Democratic Congress. •
Trik, allegation that BLACKBURN, who
was the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Kentutky, was' the scamp who,
*luring the war, attempted to spread in
fectious diseases through northern cities,
has' never been authoritatively denied,
notwithstanding which , he has over 40,-
000 ipajoity. If his Plans , had been suc
cessful, piobably tlui,DemOcrats of Ken
tucky wonkthave considered him deserv
ing of a
.still larger majority. .
The New York Times, which seems to
have 2 grudge against SENATOR CONKLIN°,
Swallows the ticket just made in New
York, with many manifestation,- that it
don't taste • good. It's editorial com
ments are painfully incoherent, and
t•vince.a distress of mind which is both
In licrous and lamentable. What can be
clearer than the statement that "the
ticket can hardly be said to owe any of
its component parts to r the spontaneous
action of party prefelnces," which is
enough, probably, to cort s deron any ticket,
if wo could only understand . what it
meant. If there are rt . ttother objections
to •be urged agitinst the : ticket, the
Tim , v, after a certain -amount of growl
ing, will support it.,
'Mu. CYRUS W. FIELD has answered
sonic of the questions asked by his friend
Tti.nr.N, in a long letter, which appease
in the New York papers. It is principalty
devoted to a- statement of the business
dealings between them, and if he states
the 'transactions correctly, the sage Of
Gramercy ,lark has played the part of is
sharper. N"i'liat FIELD thinks of his late
associate is-given in the conclusion of hii
letter. He sayiof TILDEN : " If my ex
perience, after a close intimacy of two
years, is worth anything, i is that be is
a man .so given to ways that are dark,'
to cunning and deceit ; that his very na T
tore is so false and treaCheious, that he
cannot be trusted either in business or in
politics ; and' that the man or the party
that intrusts either interest or honor to
his keeping, is sure to be betrayed.'_'
THE ' succ i ess of the Republicans in Cal
ifornia in 'electing three at least of• the
Congressmen, will have an important
be:iring upon the Presidential eleetibn
s'iould'it go into the House. With Cali
fornia, there are now nineteen Republi
can States represented in Congress, with
:eighteen Democratic, , leaving Indiana
doubtful. The Indiana delegation stands
a tie (six to six), with Rev. Mr. Da LA
MATTit to decide whether it shall biße
publidan or Democratic. But the Democ
raey don't propose to trust the reverend
gentleman, so they will mist Mr. ORTII,
I --
RepUblican, and thus make the State
.Democratic., How far a similar outrage
will be committed to change the political
complexion of other delegations, depends
upon the temper of the Democracy. They
will not stick , at any unfair means to se
cure the Confederate ascendency in 1880.
THE influx'of gold into this country is
usuallY taken as a favorable indication,
showing that we are selling to Europe
more than we are buying of theni. Last
week over 110,000,000 was. received in
Now York, and still larger amounts are
eipected to fellow. This is in payment,
principally, for the agricultural produce
we are sending abroad, though our ex
ports of manufactured article's is large.
Under the' 'beneficent of our
protective ' tariff, we are not.only feeding
toe operatives of Europe, but we are com
peting_in their markets with their maim
faCturera In fact, by making our own
cloths, cutlery, etc., we are redlicing the
mechanici of Europe' to starvation and
then sending them provisions at row prices
to relieve them. And at the 8010 time,
We extend them a cordial welcoUie to our
shores, ‘iitere they are certaieof gOod

TUE anthracite coal business of the
State is in a very demoraliscid condition.
For months past, the operators who
own and 'market coal have been selling it
r at wholesale, at prices which did not af
ford any profit, The present depression
in prices was caused by the falling off in
the quantity consumed, owing to the
I financial condition of the country and the
stoppage of so many large manufacturing
establishments. The coal mined has been
largely in,tacess of the wants ,of the con
sumers, and the companies hav)s been car
rying on- .a war of competition which,
though it, might be favorable to the pub
lic so, far as prices were concerned, was
ruinous to the operators: Attempts have
been made to - effect a combination by
which the quantity mined should be gov
erned by the demand and prides increased
to a point which would afford a profit .to
the operators. flo far all efforts in thit
direction have been unsuccessful, owls%
to the refusal of some of the large opera
tors to enter into the combination, aid
the badifaith of others in sticking to theii
agreements. So long as the coal interests
of the different sections area() conflicting,
there does not seem any probability that
theycan be entirelyreconciled and a basis
agree4 npnri , which wili bo. satisfactory-."
and yet, it would be better for the coun
try if the coal business could be put upon .
a steady and paying basis. It would pro
mote public confidence and stimulate the
establishment of many heavy enterprises,
whichi would oantribute largely to tha-ri
establishment, of business prosperity.
ME
In about:MO years, the anthracite coa'
fields will be exhausted. At least that is
tho calculation of the scientists.
.'But it
is consoling to know Oat the bituiiiiiions
coal-fields of the country are practically
inexhaustible. Before the Scientific Con
,
Tendon at Saratoga, last week, Prafessof
W. SHEAVER of Pottsville spoke of the
anthracite coat fields of Pennsylvania and
their rapid exhaustion. lie said : " The
work of mining anthracite coal in that
State was begun in 1820, with 865 ; now
20,000,000 tons per . annum are produced.
Mr. Silattsze asserted that only one-third
of the coat goes into consumption ; two
thirds are ;wasted, lost in the mines and
iti.preparation. Be put the maximum
product at about 50,090,000 tons per an-' !
num, and at the present rate of increase'
this limit will be reached in the year 1000,
and in 186 years, say in the e years 2065,
our anthracite coal fields willhe. exhaust
„ed. Then we must fall back on our bltu
mirious coal area, which reacheslthe enor
mous total o' 200,000 squat? miles, sly
over' 400 times the area of [t he anthra
cite.”
Tire lath Republican Convention in
New York, was remarkable for the-char
acter of the delegates in attendance and
for the unaminity with which the nomi
nations were made. There was an entire
absence of all : t. those irritating questions
sing personal grievances, which usually
mark similar4ath‘rings in Oat... State.
The asperities whiCh are usually mani
fested seem to have been left at home,
anal the delegates came together: with a
feeling of cordiality which ensures the
success of the candidates placed in nomi-,
tion.
The nominee for Governor, Aursio
B. COUNELL, of Ithaca, is a son of the
late EZRA CORNELL, the founder of , the .
Cornell Unniyersity. He has been an ac
tive Republican for years, andfOr several
years Chair Man of the Republican State
Convention, in whiCh capacity be has
rendered very efficient service, and made
himself so conspicuous . and acceptable
that ho was nominated on the first ballot.
He is a devoted friend of Senator CONIC
LINO.
The following is the full ticket as made
by the Convention :
For Governor—Alonzo B. Cornell, of
New York" County. -
Fbr Lieutenant-Governor--George G.
Hoskins, of Wyoming County. '
• For Controtter—James W. Wadsworth,
of Livingston County.
For Seeretary of State—Joseph B. Carr,
of Rensselaer County.
Fir State Treasurer—Nathan D. Wen
dell, of Albany County.
For A ttorney General—Hainilton Ward,
of Allegheny. , 1
For State Engineer and Sureeyop
•
toward Soule, of Onondaga County. •
A platform' was adopted pledging the
party anew to National supremacy, equal
rights, free elections and honest money,
thanking president Wass and the Re
publicans in Congress for their recent
attitude, and • denouncing the present
Democratii;' . policy. The regulation, of
corpotAtions was 'advocated. Senator
Cosainro yras temporary chairman, and
Vice-President • WHEELER was president
of the convention. Both made speeches
which wcee heartily applauded.
COUNTY POOR HOUSE
An act of the last legislature which
we have already published, makes
each County, a poor district, and
makes provision for the selection of
a suitable site, and the erection of
the proper buildings, for the employ
ment-and maintenance of the poor of
the County. After , certain require
ments arc compliest, with the voters
of the County are to vote whether or
not they will accept the provisions of
the law and, direct the County Com
missioners to proceed to carry them
out. The voters of this County will
have the queition presented to thein
at the November election, and one of
the ballots they will have an oppor
tunity to deposit will be 'For" or
"Against" a County Poor House.
Should the majority of the ballots
be fora Poor. House, then the County
Commissioners are required to select
a suitable site, erect the 'necessary
buildings, appoint a superintendent,
physician and other officers, and give
notice that the County is ready to
assume the support and care of 'the
paupers of the County. After a
reasonable time given to close their
accounts the office Of Overseer of
the/ Poor is dispensed with, by law.
As might be expected, such a
radical change in the manner of
taking care of the poor has 'given'
rise to considerable. discussion. There
is great difrerenceof opinion as to the
humanity of the pr t Oposed change as
compared with the—present system,
and an equally wide diversity of be
lief on the score of economy. It is,
of course; not a party question, and
different views are largely the result
of local - experience. Some of the
towns have never telt the burden of
taxes levied for the
,support of the
poor, and consequently the citizens
are not inclined to take upon them
selves a share of the expense of sup
porting the paupers of the County;
while in these towns where the poor
have become a burden,..the voters are
unanimous in the desire to transfer
to the county the expense and super
intendence of the poor.
There are higher considerations'
which should decide the action of
the voters than the matter of cost to
the ,taxpayer. The humanitarian
side of the question should receive
due bonsideration. The: town systim
of farming out the poOr has led to
4
many sbnses, and theV i guardianship
of Overseers of the Poor, even when
in the hands of well-meaning men, is
always a' thankless place, and the
;constant tendency is, to exude its
i tinpleiusant - dntieK -- There,an4 benno"
question, but that, in the majoilty of

fortunatesyill be improved by plac
ing them where they will have a .
comfortable home,.. and sutficimit
though homely food and raiment.
We have made inquiries in variou s
i
counties . where Poor Houses hare
been in operation, to ascertain with
what success they met the require
meats for which they were built, and
also the coat of caring . for the poor,
compared with the townshipsystem.
The result, of these inquiri4 has
satisfied rut that, where the adminis
tration.of. the Poor House was hon. !
estly and economically conducted, it
was satisfactory in every particular,
and reduced the total expense very
materially. In some few counties
where there was jobbery and,pecula
tion in the management, there has
been great dissatisfaction, not per-
`baps, so much with the system, as
with the managers, a • wrong which
public sentiment is competent to
remedy. •
We consider it a favorabje pro
vision of the law , that it is the duty
of the / County Commissioners to
select the site for the• Poor House,
and superintend ths erection of te
necessary buildings. The responsi-:
bility for the whole matter, in instils
thrown upon them. This is as it
should be, though it will greatly in
crease the labors. and add to the re
sponsibilities of the Commissioners.
But they are chosen to look after the
interests of the people of the -County.
They are selected for their supposed
honesty and competency and they
are directlyresponsible to the people.
Any malfeasance or dereliction would
be observed, and quickly punished,
either at the bar of public opinion or
by the Courts. .
It' is fortunate, so ' far as this
County is concernel, "the„ voters
should decide that a County, Poor
Muse shall be built, that we have a
board of County Commissioners who
are not only honest and capable - hut
who possess in . an eminent degree,
the confidence of the tax-payers.
Messrs. BRADFORD, Hussr and•Rmi
som, are intelligent and prktical
business men, who would understand
the wants of the - County, and who
would impartiallY, fearlessly and eco
nomically- perform the new duties
thus placed upon them. Their de
cision as to locatiOn, and their action
as to buildings and officers, would-be
based upon much intelligent judg-,
ment and honest desire, as ; would
secure the approbation of the tax
payers'. The question, we have no
doubt, will be decided in a proper
manner in November, and at least
the wishes of the people of the
County *ill , be made manifest. As
it is a matter of considerable moment
we trust every voter will deposit his
ballot, For or Against as best agrees
with ilia; judgment and the dictates
of his iconsciehce.;
EviaT Republican voter in the
County 'Should determine to cast his
vote at the November election. The
necessity for a full expression of the
peopO is extraordinary and urgent,
and the occasion opportune. Be-
Carise the candidates are few, and the
offiees to be filled, .unimportant,
should not keep a single Republican
from the polls. There never was a
time when a vote ca l k, for the Repub
'lean candidates would carry with it
more moral and 'political effect
than now. Granted that the Repub.
lican candidate for State Treasure'
will be elected, yet every vote added
to his majority strengthens the in
fluence of that majority, and adds to
the rebuke it is intended to convey
to the enemies of human rights.
Following Republican victories in
other States, if Pennsylvania adds to
the demonstration by an overwhelm
ing majority, it will be of, immense
power in checking the
„treasonable
and unpatriotic designs of the Con
federates. We trust that every Re
publican in bradford will see and re
alize the e great importance of his
vote this fall,wnd not be hoaxed into
indifference and inaction by the plea
that the result of the election is not
of sufficient moment to call for work
and votes:
-Though the County ticket has upon
it but two comparativelyinsigaificant
offices, yet the occasion is an excell
ent one for the Republicans to mani
fest their devotion to the principles
of the party, and their allegiance to
the organization. The candidates
are unexceptionable. Theienames
belong to two of" the oldest and
most respectable families of the
County, and they are each worthy of
their names. If there has been cm
plaint in the past with the manner of
making nominations, none can pos
sibly be urged in the present case.
The choice of the Cnnvention was not
controlled or affected by outside in
fluences. There were no private in
terests nor personal grievances en
tering into the selection. For once,
at lenst, the voters have a ticket pre
sented which lepresents no •clique
nor faction, which was not. the result
of bargaining nor combinations, but
which is the free, untrammelled
choice of the delegates;
If the Republicans of the County
would recognize • the National neces
sitr for casting every vote--if they
would feel that .an unusually large
majority this fall, would show that
they are ready and anxious to Sap
port a ticket which is a,dieect ems,

Evinctifc is Constantly , accuMulatl
ing to show that the murder of Bawl
in Yairo was not the result -or a
Street broil. BARKSDALE hinigelf has
contributed, some of this in a letter
to a relative, in . which 4 he • says that
" higher considerations than even
those of self-defense actuated" him.
lie hints that one of these consider,
talons 'was revenge for an 'alleged
slander of
. " dear ". ones. How the
slandered persons were benefitted by
shooting in the back the man accus
ed of defaming them, is a Mississippi
problem which we do not pretend to
solve. But a letter from Mrs. Drxou
in which lilxou's dying statement,
under Oath, is recited, shows that
DIXON disclaimed to 'BARKSDALE all
intentions of harming him, and; fur
ther, that the report thht he had,
threatened BARKsDALE was spread
by the politicians who were trying
to drive him from the political con
test. The pretext of self-defense is
an idle one. Mrs.- DIXON resents
with great warmth the insinuation.
that her husband was an "infidel."
She says : "A few hours before his
death he was baptized into the Cath
olic Church. * '* * And at his
bedside knelt, two _ Sisters of the
Ooly Order of Nazareth, and offered
Rrayers for the departing soul of him
who, duringthe epidemic of last year,
had nursed their priest and.assisted
in laying away their dead."
.Tax English newspapers are re
oiciug over the revival of business
in this country. The Pall Mall
Gazette observes that the change is
already beginning to influence favor
ably the course of English trade. It
says " orders are coming to England
for iron manufacturers, the American
manufacturers, even with their heavy
protective tariff, being unable to sup
ply the rapidly increasing demand.
No great change can, of course be ex
pected at present, but the first symp
toms of improvement are of great
value in this time , of sickening de
pression.- Men can wait on with a
good 'heart when they know that by .
waiti'n'g they can expect a return of
work at fair wages; but if the winter
comes on without any favorable pros
pects,land their savings are.exhaust
ed, '
thee feeling is very different. It
is well to recognize that there , is
still a very serious time to pass
,through; but the news .from the
'United States is decidedly
_cheer
ing."
HON. E. WASHB I .URNE has received
a letter from , General Wuxi, reiter
ating his unwilliigness to be Presi
dent again. The General will have
to swear to , it on a- stack of Testa
ments as high as Mount Washington,
however, before those wise and know
ing Democratic editors wilt, believe
him. His patriotic promise that "if
the Republican party should need
him for any purpose, he will not fail
to respond," .need not scare them.
Let them rather , remember that "he'
does_ not conceive of any possible
circumstance which could induce him
to consent to be &candidate." This
means, of course, that the Republi
can party's chances are excellent
with any good candidate. This ought
to scare the Democrats more than
anything else, ' for General GRANT
knows what, he is talking about when
he makes political predictions.
HON. ALBION W. TOUBUEE,
tinguisited jurist of North Carolina,
who went there from the north, says
that the prejudice of section is as
bitter as the prejudice of race. Ile
says: "F.hold the Noith responsible
for not recognizinglt (the prejudice)
as an element that must enter into
all its dealings with the south. I
blame them for not knowing, and I
blame myself for not knowing. .I
thought ',could live south. In 1865
there was, less bitterness than now.
The rebel soldiers were yet alive,
who respected the late foes and re
inembered the earlier dayi. But
since , then a new generation' • hai
grown up, matured in hostility."
Ex-Confederate Pons, late Door
keeper of the House, says : "On be-
ing notified by the Speaker, who con
firms the Doorkeeper'i appointments,
that my appointmenbt should be
equally apportioned among Demo
cratic districts, I urged many mem
bers, among them Suns= Cox, CAR;
Tilt HARRISON, and STEnOnx, to name
disabled soldiers for their quota, and
tlieyi refused with a sneer. Forma
and. Wilms tried to palm off on me
able-bodied politicians, who had nev
er been in the service, for the disa
-Medi soldiers' roll. My. refusal to
bee(ime a party to the fraud made
them both my active enemies."

A REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN
CALIFORNIA.
A SUBSTANTIAL TRIUMPH IN
MAINE.
The California election, was held
Tuesday, 2d inst., and the multiplicity
of tickets makes the returns compli
cated and confusing. Bute the net
results are highly favorable to the
Republicans.; The pluiality of Pra-
Kiss, Republican candidate for Glov
eriior, and of all the, State ticket
which he heads, will be between 20 ;
000 and 25,000. If there is any , doubt
of the election of any one of the four
Congressmen, -it is in the c i sse of
HORACE DAVIS, who was a camlidate
for re-eleciion in the First, , of San
Francisco District. As the returns
from that city are, yet 'in a confused
state, later news may change the re
suit. Bat it is now believed that the
Republicans have elected all four
Repablicans. The official count will
be necessary to determine who_ are
elected among the: multitude of can-,
didstes in San Francisco. Ksuocu's
election -for Mayor ' is, of conise, a
foregone conclusion, and it l would
appear as if the remainder , lof the
municipal offices would be pretty
equally divided among the Working
Men and the Republicans,lhe latter
having the , important advan i tage of
electing. a majority of the•ltoard of
Supervisors. As most of the Judicial
officers chosen were on the tickets of
all 'parties, the result of this part of
the canvass will be regarded as non
political. But the Republican victo
ry in the State is substantial and im
portant. • ,
In Maine the, canvass has been
peculiar and conducted in the most
animated manner. ,The election came
of on Monday last, - and the result is
a substantial - Republican triumph.
The Republican gain has probably
been sufficient to outnumber the , tom•
bined vote of their opponents and
ensure the election of DAvis'for Gov.
ernor, with a fair prospect of a ma
jority in'both branches of the Legis
lature, making certain the election
of Republican State officers.
The contest in Maine has been be
tween the Nationals and the-Repub
licans. The, Democracy were pitiably
in - the minority, the bulk of the. pa'rty
having gone over to the greenbackers.
Local matter's had much to do with
the strength they have this year
shown, and the result .of Monday's
election clearly demonstrates tha
the vote of the State is certain nests
year far the, Republican candidit
for President.' No •such contest hati l
been waged in- Maine for many yearsjd
Probably so close and , sterna contest' .
'was never before mac. On the Re
publican side, nothing whiph intent.
gence , could devise or energy execute'
was left undone. Senator BLAINE,
who was in charge as chair Man of
the State Committe, was 'everyl
where; plarining, consultink, execu
ting.. His calculationd of results
bare pioved remarkably accurate.
Indeed, through them all' ran the
fear that all he hoped
_might not be
realized. Yet great changes were
effected and the.way has been.opened
for . the final delivery of the State
from thri factions which have for it
year controlled it.

pers, almost without exception, are sound
ing the tocsin of alarm, and warning the
leaders that they are preparing the way
for certain defeat. The repudiation of
objectionable' candidates at the former

the ticket is nominated as agreed ripen it
will certainly be repudiated at the polls.

The theatres, having received their new
coats of gilding and varnish, have entered
upon their fall and winter season, and
may now be said to be in full blast. With
the approach of cooler weather the river
excursions have become less numerous,
and consequently, the great tide of travel
that sought amixeement under the "moon-,
beam's mystic light," now find enjoyment
in the glare and glitter of gas..
~For, a long time past the theatrical bus
iness of Washington has been almost 'en
tirely under the Control of one manage
ment, which neither pleased the public
nor proved very profitable to the parties
concerned; but allissolution and break
ing up of the old management having been
effected, the summer vacation was made
short and the season commenced much
earlier than- usualorith the prospect that
the public will now have the opportunity
of being entertained with a much higher
order of theatrical talent_than that here
tofore presented: While a general over
hauling and refitting of these places have
been made, new companies engaged, a
new and lower scale of prices fixed Upon,
engagements, it is understood, have been
made with nearly all the principal celebri
ties of this da7,. who during the season, it
is expected, will presenAjheiii speoialties .
to the gratification andirlimiratiOn of their
friends. Evidently, under the strife and
spirit of rivalry now manifested, every
care will be taken by these establishments
to please and satisfy their patrons.,
The theatrical 'world, however, is-not
alone in preparing for the wants and re;
quirements of the public. As the ap
proaching aPssion of Congress will be the
last One that precedes the Presidential
election, a very general impreasion seems
to prevail that the coming winter will be
one of more than ordinary interest and
excitement. With this in view, and the
expectation of in' unusual number of vui
itors, a genera rendiation of the principal
hotels, together. with many alterations
and improvements, is being made. In
desirable loCations, the prices for rooms
and board have already been very consid
erably eidvanced.. • ••
From the recently published interviews
that are said to have been held with cer
tain parties now in high position in the

The supposition *that the Republiban
partt, in making its choice of a candidate,
will not stoat to consult the
„Wishes,' much
less the Pen - Mull antipathies, of any one.
If reports art true, it may be accepted u
a fact that Geu. Grant is not in the field ;
nor will he Cement, it i is said, under, any
circumstances to maim the nomination,
, uoless such should be tho popular de-
wand and expression of the people. But
it would seem ,that the opponents of Gen.
Grant, although he is regarded out of the
race, continue to have more anxiety about
his future than his warmest and most de-
voted friends. While they declare that he
will not in any event be a candidate for
the Pr,esideney, they at the same time do
not alipear to be satisfied with their
conclusions; somehow, they seem to have
a suspicion that they are mistaken; and
they are distrustful of their own superior
judgments in the -. me; so they keep on
worrying over what they declare is a fore
goni conclusion.
Discussions upon the propriety of re
organizing the various Republican Asso
ciations, have . taken a much wider range,
than any, ene here had anticipated. From
a misunderstanding of their objects and
purpOses by those not connected . with
them, they have been invested with a
much greater importance and it:titmice
than under
,any circumstances it were
possible for them to attain. The charges
rently made by the editor of Harper's
Weekly Journal, that these associations
were created and sustained solely for the
purpose of controlling appointments= and
directing the distribution of the patronage
of the Government,.are utterly unfound
ed ; but, if,such had been the fact, there
is one thing certain,: their influence would
not have been exerted towards giying
place and preferment to parties who adom
their walls with portraits of Generals Lee
and Stonewall Jackson, and with pictures
illustrating the victories of Confederate
arms. The aspersions uttered and the cop
position manifested against these associa
tions by the , above-named journal will be
better unde rstood when it is known that
its editor, Goo. W. Curtis, was one of the
originators and charter members, of Civil .
Service tlapidoodle and humbug. Wo can
understand why Democrats desire the ex
clusion of citizens from politikal activity,
whose intelligence and patriotism qualify
them to hold honorable employment by
the suffrage of the party which directs the
affairs of the nation; but we cannot un
derstand Why the same should be advo
cated by any true Republican who has the
success of his party and principles at heart.
.In attempting to justify the late Yazoo
assassination on political and sectional
grounds, the Democracy, it appears, are
appealing to the late affair in San Fran
cisco, where one political adventurer tried
to assassinate another after as interchange
of obscene abuse,.as an example in point.'
But the San Francisco affair will have no
influence whatever on National politics,
while the ruffianly murder , in the South
will. However much it may be argued
that the shooting of Dixon was the result
of personal hatred and passion, it will not
prevent the honestandlaw-abiding peo
ple of the North from believing that a
class-of people who recognize manslaugh
ter and murder as the proper way
righting grievences, are not the proper
party in whose hands could . be safely
placed the, reins of Government and the
execution of the laws which maintain the
peace and make human life secure. The
Democracy, aware of this fact, are conse
quently hunting around for some pretext
or excuse through which they may draw
away public attention from the dastardly
deed. But however
-much they may seek
to palliate the crime, a few more amuse
ments like this with shotgun and revolvers
will be sufficiently convincing to the most
obtuse thinker that the "bloody shirt"
