Ix to allude to the "Solid Soutris

TlANcocii in publicly declaring that he
will, if' elected, veto all bills looking to
the, payment of relxillelaims shows that
be understands how much his party is
distrusted. No one lias thought or ask
ing GARFIELD or an other Republican
candidate to make such a declaration. -
Tim success of the Republicans means
the breaking up of l the Solid Muth, and
'the formtaion of Ake National•Partiet 4—
the succesivor pemociacy means the

arc indebted for, the opportunity to vote
to- the magnanimity of the Republican

Thefereation of a solid South, for politi

would not, but would have shot nim, the
general replied, " Then vote as you would

Wruite Democrats of the North are

From Indiana mud very conflicting re..„
ports and estimates. Tbe contest is
waged on both sides with a vigor 'ttnd

of the country. Each party claims to

ably be close, an i the remit depends large.

vote cast-for that party be taken equally
from the two great partici, Republican
success is certain. As it is uncertain in
whatsoportion the Greenbackers may
draw votes.' from the 'other two partieti;s
all prophecies are mere guess work. The
Republicans, however, are very sanguine,
and profess to have tangible reasons for
their hopes. , .
Or the large number of expeditions
Which have been dispatched during the
last thirty years with the, special object of
*ertaining the fate of t Franklin and
find relics of the ilLfatc4 crews of the
'Erebus and Terror, the latest was the
exploring party under Lieutenant
SCHWATSIA, which left :New lirork June
19, 11178, on the schooner Eotheii, Com
manded by Captain BATIIIr, and was
landed ou , Depot Island, at; the bead of
Repulse Bay. from which point they; prose
cated their search by Means of sledges
and with the aid of Esquirisaux. This
arty has within a few days come back to
the United States, after s thorough but
comparatively resultiess exploration of
the mate pursued by the 7 members of
FRANxia*.'s•party.
MI6 Indiana fUpreme Court has re
fused a re-hearing on the question of the
validity of • the Constitutional Amend
ments, so
. its former decision declaring
these Amendments void stands. If the
Democrats carry Indiana at all this yeak.,
it will buitbecause they hold in this parti
san decision of their Court a wincing
card. The l Amendinents, among other
good f4turea, imposed a residence quail
ficationifor ikoting. This moderate bar
rier to !illegal: voting being overthrown,
there ia aliest no obstacle to repeaters
from Kentrickyawelling the Democratic
vote indefinitely. This , has been the
standing 'Republican grievance in former
years, and it was hoped thoKonittitutional
amendifents, prepared and. adopted after
much time, care and labOrtexpended upon
them; would be an adequate safeguard
againit these f nAlirtuture.

GEiERAL HASCOCK'S LETTER
Four years ago TILDEN was forced,
by the prospect of defeat, to write a
letter repudiating Southern War
Claims', but it made no impression up
on the country, as he was in the hands
of his party, and then, as now, a Sol
id South was relied upOn for suCcess'.
Gen. IlAseocx. has been driven by
the fore of circumstances—which is
defeat staring him in the face—to
write a similar letter This letter
being intended to influence the ver
dict of the October' elections, is as
'full, explicit and sufficient as such' a
docuient'need . to be. General HAN
COCK iipciares, siitli, emphasis, against
the pOSsible legality of any- claims
for Riebel losses during the war or
t
thro s gh the instrufinontality of the
Warm nd says that Should he become
$
Fres dent he would veto any bill for
the , ayment of such, but he goes
further_enti makes use of expressions
wittOsgard, to so-called loyal claims,
thetiniportance of which must- bp
i.
very apparent to any' one whiLb a :s an
understanding of the subject. Gen
eral , HANcock statei: that,. as a find
-ter of gederal public . poiicy, it is in
expedient? for theGokrernment to un
dertake to, pay Claims for losses in
curred through' the operations of
war, and that, as . most. of the so-call
ed loyalslaitns have by this time be
wine "Stle," all demands for their
paymentishould be very closely Scru
tinized UtefOre4he money is allowed
to leave 'the Treasury. .-
That such an emphatic declaration
' should bC deemed necessary, at this
time by the shrewd advisers who are
managing Gen. HANeoeK's camas,
. ,
Trove:Olt there is an apprehension%
,the public mind, that in some shape,
the losses 'sustained by the Rebels
;during the_ Rebellion, are, to be paid
for froth the public Treasury,. should
the Democratio party . ever get con
trol of the Governmerit. , Is there
any good 'reason fors'` such' fears?
History, whickis philosophy, teach
ing by examples; answers this ques
tion, and shows that though this,
dread may seem undefined and its
realiiition distant yet the popular
instinct is correct. It is urged that
the Coistitutional restriction will
prevent the payment of Rebel War
Claims. Senator Filnit7NDS who had
much to do with the passageof this
donStitutibnal provision, very plain
ly admits that the payment of a.'viar
claim and the granting of a pension
or &faulty are entirely different:mat
ters, and that the Constitution does
not, nor cannot 'prevent the voting
away of moneys in the latter shape.
That Such is the •understinding of
the Confederates has 'been shown in
many instances' by tbeir votes in
Congress. In Febria4 1879, + only
a little more than a year ago, when'
the . Arrears of Pensions bill was bt
tore the. Senate, an araendmcnt was,
offered that no ex-rebel loldicv shoidd

offered excluding-Jm Diva from
the benefits of the set, and 'twenty
Democrats voted aganstrit—i-inelnd
ing five. Northern Sena ors.: '
Every Southern Irma expects ulti
mately to be paid for all his losses
daring the rebellion, including his
slave property, notwithstanding the
Constitutional 'prohibition. . The
Southern Democrats do not hesitate
to pronounce the Constitutional
amendments as unconstitutionally
adopted, and a thorough reorganiza
tion of the United States Courts, in
eluding the Supreme Court, is a part
of their plari for the-ultimate achieve- ;
meat of their purpose. Should the 1
Democratic party get into power
the 138 Electoral votes of the
Solid South will constitute the
foundation of the temocratic stk.
cess aria the party dare not disregard_
the behests of the .Senate when ti*
Government falls into its bands. The
Constitution of the State of Mary
land declares in its Declaration of
Rights that compensation is due by
the Federal Governnient to 'citizens
of Maryland, for their- emancipated
slaves, and the Legislature i 5 direct
-1 ed in 'the article on the General As:
sembly to provide for receiving and
distributingthe money to' be 'paid
by the United States to the State of
Maryland in compensation for slaves.
Unde this law testimony has been
taken d
0,,,n
filed away as to the °wrier ,
ship, former slaves until the time ,
offal arrive when the demand on the
United Stites can be judiciously
made. . .
EMI
We. are willing. to believe that
Gen, .114rocK means what lie says
when he declares against the pay
ment of iließe , 1 War Claims. But
the gallant Gener would be power
less as against the t emands of a Sol-
id South. It may seem like an un
.o.-
necessart alarm to attempt to rouse
the y couary to the imminence of
danger which threatens from.7tliii
source. So when the repeal or ; the
Missouri Compromise was first sug
gested, those who 'struck theldcsf`n
of danger were derided as alarmists
who sought to arouse sectional ani
mosities, nevertheless the slavery
propagandists steadily pushed for
ward the measure to its COnsunima-
Lion, against the better judgment and
remOntranees of the well clispoSed, -
North and South. When jfecepion
reared,its horrid front, it e shoCked
and alarmed nine-tenths of the citi
pens of the Union, yet Sumpter was
red , upon, and State after State
forced into secession and armed re
bellion, against the consciences and
desires of the . great majority. It is
not the loyal, lacy-abiding Citizenis
who control the Democratic party,
dictate its policy, and in whose hands
Gen. HANC6CK. must'of necessity sur
render himself should he be placed
in the Presidential chair. It would
be expecting too much of him, that
he should sin counter to the desires
and demands of the men who made
him President. History does not
afford an example which would just
ify in hoping for such an anomaly.
He would ben° beier than the par
ty which placed him in power, and
that party would be largely made up,
'and entirely controlled by the rebels
who made the soil at Gettysburg
crimson with the best blood 9 the,
,Nation.

mission of Presbyterianism and closed
with a feeling reference to the death, of
Rev. William Adams, D. D., who delivs

last benediction iiisthe close of the fiest
meeting of the 41liance in Edinburgh in

Considering the importance of sheep
... *sins, and the peculiar adaptibility of
our country to this business, it cannot be
said that the Exhibition of last week was
a success. There were on' exhibition
ammo fine specimens of sheep,. Merino,
Cotswolds, iSonthdowns. and other favor
ite b Ircids, but, the show did not give a
proper idea of the extent or importance
of this branch of our National produc
tion. If it has the effect to direct atten
tion o"farmers to the subject, and indium
them to take a greater interest in the
matter of wool-growing, it will have a
beneficial influence. It really seems 'al
most absurd that a country like this
should be compelled to import'everyyeal
nearly forty million pounds of wooLIS:We
ought to grow enough at home for our
own consumption and thrice forty million
pounds for exports. Of the reasons why
farmers in the thickly settled districts of
the United States do not raise sheep in
large quantities is, that the animals sire
exposed to destruction by dogs. It would
appear as if a considerable increase of the
wool crop of Pennsylvania, fbi example,
is dependent to some extent upon the pas
ciage of a /aw which shall. impose a severe
tax 'upon dogs and shall make the owner
of a sheep-killing dog responsible for the
brute's'destructive operaflons.

The Grand Katileatien Meeting held
Saturday night;'`wa an immense success.
The display exeeeed anything of the
i d
kind ever witnesse in this city; In front
of the Viifon I;eague a , large stand had
been estefed for speaking, and as early as
seven ogoe.k the etiowd began to assems
blo in the vicinity, blocking the street for
squares,; patiently waiting the appear
ance of bon. Jams G. Blaine and ths
s ,
other noted- ,
gent emen announced to

speak. 1 i The Unioa League Building was
bandsoniely-decorated and brilliantly il
luminated, the names of Garfield and. Ar

the structure. Preceding the meeting an
excellent band discoursedpoprdarairs, and
succeeded in keeping the vast throng in
the best of humor s -
Precisely at

Blaine appeared-npon the' platform and
was greeted wit - blind ebeenrs After be.
ing introduced by' lion. George H. Boker,
the diatinguished - statesman f addressed
the vast assemblage, which filled
_broad
street. The speaking, however, was a
failure, owing to the immense and del
monstrative crowd. The meeting was too
largo to . be useful Several stands bad,
been created, and various orators attempts

"made their efforts abortive.
The great feature of the demonstration
was the parade, which, in point of num
bers, novelty of display, and enthusiasm,
eclipsed anything of the kind - ever wit
nessed in this city, if not in the country.
Llthotigh it was announced that the pa.
rade 'Meld not move until half-past eight
o'clock, thousands began to assemble on
*road street as early as six o'clock, and
lin hour later this wide throughfare 'was
lone mass of humanity,' extending from
1 Columbia aiiennelto Ellsworth street, it
being estimated that at least 200,000 per.
sons were assembled between - these boun
daries. Large as was the crowd; and
great as was the discomfort, it was one of,
the most orderly ever gathered in this
city.- All along - the line the •bandsome
residences were finely illuminated and
handsomely decorated, and as the parade
moved, thousands of rockets and Roman

Captain Treasure,
Great curiosity has been exciting
the people of Peekskill, West Chester,
county, New York, • concerning the
mission.of a strange schooner that
made her appearance in Liudson river
off that village on Thursday last. It
appears that her nameis Mary Leach,
And she is' now anchored off Round
Island. It is stated today that the
vessel is almostdirectly over the
sunken wreck of the famous Captain
Kidd's ship, which bad, so the
schooner. people say, untold millions
in money buried with her. The par
ty employed by the International
Submarine Company, of Connecticut,
in seeking ,the pirates'" abandona
treasure, says that a portion' of the
sunken vessel, 12 by 8 feet, has been
cleared of 'mud 17 feet deep, and the
poition of Kidd's ship has at , last
been struck.
,IFOrrible Ilr True.
11 ,- Asnixo'rox, September - 23.—The
,reasury department was in the ft
ceipt, some time since.of a communi
cation from the chielOtthe detective
corps of San Franoised; containing
statements which toad like a highly
wrought-up romance ea racing_ the
crimes of murder, robbery and mari
tal infidelity., The story in brief is
as follotvs: Two tgentlemen, friends
of each' other, with their wives, were
traveling in California. ' One of them
had te his possessicin a number cif
registered U. S. bonds. The sight of
the bonds excited the,cupidity of his
friend, who also coveted his neigh
hoes wife. The two mu walked out
together one afternoon to view. the
mountain scenery,. The owner of
the bonds was never seen again, and
his companion reported that he had
accidentally tumbled down a fright
ful precipice: Subsequently, while
in- the recesses of a vast forest,- the
man tied his own wife and horned
her to death. . Then, -in company
with the wife of the missing man, be
made - his way back to - Salt Fa ancisco, ,
and with her connivance personated
the owner of the bonds and endeav
ored to negotiate - tbe sale of them.
The two were shaddWed and found
to be living as husband and' wife, the
man assuming the name of the friend
Whom be, was belieVed to have Mur
dered. Such is the outline of the
detective's story, and as may readily
be ,imagined the treasury officials
were on the qui vire for any applica
tion which might come for the fawns
er of 'the bonds to another party.
Nothihg :was heard until quite re
cently, when a letter • was received
frdm the attorneys of a lady Hiring
in ,ACansits City asking the transfer
of the-bonds to her name. The lady ,
,starthat she is the widow of the
'pers n in whose name the bond 4 now
stand registered. An account is then
giien of his murder, of supposed
murder, by the false friend, whom, it
is stated, obtained possession of the
bonds, bute:there , is nothing to indi
cate that she was an accessory, or
that she had tiny subsequent knowl
edge of- the movements of the mur
derer.
A - filet's Mussily Atiedwery.
The pilot boat Pet, No. 9, which
arrived Friday night in the lower
New York bay from a cruise,-reports
that on the 19th inet., in latitude 41
deg. 30 min, north and longitude G.t
deg 30 Min. west, she fell in with a
vesiel bottom up. On approaching
the ever-turned craft she • lowered a
boat, which went alongside. !ter
crew discovered that she was in the
track Of vessels bound to Oil port it
was thought advisable to , cut a hole
in her side so as to sink heir. The :
necessary implements were accord-
ingly furnished •to the boat's crew
and the work was about to bo com
menced, but a terrible stench was en
countered- from below, which com
pelled thifi to desist. As the boat
was moved round the vessel' a man
was discovered with a rope round his
neck banging from the bowsprit. He
was bleated with water and his
features were decOmposed. The
effluvium from the , sunken schooner
was so noisome and overpowering
that the conclinion was come to that
the crew of the vessel were lying
dead in her cabin: It is thought
probable that _she is the British
schooner Gladiator, which sailed
from Barbadoes for Yarmouth, N. S.,
some time ago. She is no doubt the
