II. XL Powers, Chairman.
August 25th, 18S0.
The Washington correspondent of
lueJNew ork Herald tells this re
markable story: "The leading Re
publican papers which advocated the
nomination of General Grant at Chi
cago complain that they are dis
criminated against by the' Republican
Congressional Committee in the issue
of campaign documents, while the pa
pers Which opposed the nomination of
General Grant are furnished with
campaign thunder in advance of their
cotemporaries by the Committee. The
result is a quarrel about the adminis
tration of iifl'airs here in Washington,
with the anti-Grant clement still
ahead and an undisguised contempt
for the journals that lent themselves
to the Grant movement.
Pittsburg Lcudcr: "The eflbrts of
some of Mr. Hopkins' friends to have
Sullivan, the Greenbacker, pull out of
the Congressional race in this district
in order that the Democratic nominee
can have a square tussle with "the
Boss" are not likely to be crowned
With success. While Mr. Sullivan is
generally regarded as a pretty good
man and is very popular with the
workmen, there does not seem to be
any possible chance for his success.
He certainly cannot make a stronger
fight than Kirk did two years ago,
When there was not a Presidential
contest to draw the party lines, and
when Mr. Kirk spent over 610,000 of
his own money without avail."
Washington, August 27. The
Congressional Campaign Committee
to-morrow will isue a new campaign
document, making the forty-third on
their regular list. It is ciitflled Home
Rulo in the Solid South. It treats of
repudiation, election swindles, ballot-
1..... ...!,.. .
Burning aim suppression ol votes.
There is also a chapter on education
in the South, or rather the want of
it. The number of documents which
the Committee is scattering over the
country is simply immense. More
than a dozen men are employed in
folding the documents alone. Jn no
previous campaign has there been
such a scattering of documents broad
cast treating of such a variety of top
ics as are issued from the headquarters
this year.
Chicago Inter-Ocean: "The Con
federates have on tile at Washington
claims upon the United States Treas
ury amounting to $2,520,000,000. Oh.!
no; 'they won't attempt to pay the
rebel debt, if they gel the power.'
'They are high-toned statesmen.' Rut
you Democrats of the North are offer
ing large inducements. These men of
the South believe they are right; they
have not changed their belief. They
say they have to help pay the North
ern debt; why should not that of the
South be paid as well? If a man who
fought the nation for four years is just
as good as the soldier who defended it;
nay, if he is so much better that the
Government must be turned over to
him for safe keeping, then will follow,
as a necessary result, the paying of all
debts contracted in such service."
Senator Conkling has written as
follows to ex-Governor Smilli of Ver
mont, in response to the letter asking
him to take part in the campaign in
that State. "It would give me much
pleasure to meet the Republicans of
your state and to be yourguest, though
I cannot strain imagination and cred
uality to suppose that anything I could
say would produce any ellcct on your
canvass. I am, however, for some
time to come, beset with several mat
ters of business not only urgent but
deferred until they must receive at
tention before I can enter tho cam
paign at all. One of them, in which
a- numlK-r of persons are concc-ned,
lias been set down for notion during
the very days you indicated I do not
see how it would be warrantable or
possible to break away. All this de
tail is indicted to guard against your
supposing that I lightlyorlndill'erently
excuse myself from so valued an invl.

STUONULY IN FA VOH OF THE TICKET.
New York, Aug. 2o. Sen. Horsey
arrived in this city to-day from Wash
ington. He has consented to proceed
to Indiana at once, and it is under
stood that if lie does not take actual
charge of the campaign in that State
that he will at least be most active in
the light. Following is an extract
from a letter written by Gen. Grant to
Sen. Dorsey, in reponse to one from
the latter inviting him to come to this
city and attend the gathering of rep
resentative Republicans held here on
August 6. Gen. Grant and family
have been at Maniton Springs, Col.,
and from that placo his letter is dated.
After saying that he had been tem
porarily absent, and that this was the
reason for not sooner responding to
the Invitation, Gen. Grant adds: "It
will be impossible for me to attend at
the date you mention, as I will hardly
be home before the 5th of August, and
besides, I must go East the latter part
of the mouth, and do not care to
make two trips so near together. But
you have my full sympathy In sup
port of the ticket headed by Garfield
and Arthur. I have lost no opportu
nity of saying what I could in private
conversation, or rather in conversa
tion, in behrlf of the ticket, and
shall not."
General Hancock's Pedigree,
Special Despatch to the Phlla. Tress.
Norristown, August 27. Denials are
made by some of the friends of General
Hancock hereabouts of statements
that have been made concerning his
grand-parentage, and in support of
their allegations they point to the
granite monument, near the centre of
the Montgomery Cemetery, beneath
which rests the General's grandfather.
The inscription upon it reads as fol
lows: "Hancock in memory of Ben
jamin Franklin Hancock; born in
Philadelphia. October 10, A. D. 10U;
Died at Norristown February 1, A. 1).
1W. ' Rich in (food Works." 1 Tim.
vi. IS. "One that feared God and es
chewed evil," Job, 1. 1.
Notwithstanding this many of those
best acquainted with the history of
the Hancock family, and even the
General's own cousins, assert the
truthfulness of the statements that
have been made.

From tlx: Wat oi town (N. Y.) iiputi-h,- I -fin.)
Why should not the people, as Wade
Ianiiton says, "consider what Lee
ami Jackson would do were they
alive?" They were brave, honest.aii'l
honorable men, unlike the cowardlv,
shabby Republican leaders who tra
duce them, and would now if olive be
for the "I'liion as it is," with all its
intendments, ami with all the equal
rights anil privileges oftlie South un
do- the Constitution. When (hey
surrendered, they surrendered in
good faith, but their conquerors have
violated faith and honor. The South
erners made the mistake of lighting
for their rights (including tho right
of secession) out of the Union. They
should have fought for them in the
Union and under the old flag.
Bradford , I ml. : "The Dem
ocracy of Pennsylvania have fed Mr.
Curtin liberal allowances of tally since
his desertion of Republican principles
but the rank and file of the party do
not trust the 'War Governor,' and
seem to fear that some leaven of Re
publicanism is still lurking in ins
political system. It is extremely
doubtful whether he gels the Demo
cratic nomination in the Twentieth
District, anil should he get it he may
meet with a similar fate t that which
befell him 1.S7S. The probabilities are
that Andy Dill will be nominated in
that district, and if he is lie will cer
tainly be elected, as his own county,
which gives a Republican majority ot
about, ooo, will treat him kindly, as in
times past, and score but a small vote,
if any against him, while he will
poll his full parly vote in the other
counties In (lie district."
Says tiie North American, very
pertinently: "In the present Na
tional canvass the issue is squarely pre
sented as to whether this great Re
public shall be governed by the landed
oligarchy of the solid South or by the
citizens of those States of the North
and West which comprises three
fourths of the Union in population,
wealth, resources and till the elements
of advanced and enlightened civiliaz
tion. The South now have both houses
of Congress, mid if it siiall succeed In
the elections of the present year it
would obtain complete control of all
branches of the government, thereby
enabling it to reconstruct the army,
navy, civil service, judiciary, tariff
taxation, currency, finance, etc., to
suit its own sectional ideas and preju
dices, and to retard as much as possi
ble the marvelous progress of the
North."

The Retreating lVarrlor.
WHAT HANCOCK Vi SAID TO HAVE
PROPOSED DURING THE WILDER
NESS FK1HT.
The Washington Jlepuhlican edi
torially says: Wlnfleld Scott Han
cock was one of tho three corps 'com
manders who sat in council of war in
the tent of General Grant during the
slx-lays' continuous lighting in the
Wilderness, and to whom ho had re
ferred the question as to the military
situation on the 11th day of May.lS'i,
a most eventful day In that memora
ble campaign. It was upon that oc
casion, when General Hancock gave
his written oppinion to General Grant
that he should take up a lino of retreat
ami withdraw the advancing army to
this side of the Rapidan as a measure
of safety, otherwise the army would
be annihilated and the cause lost. At
the close of the Interview General
Grant handed to each of the corps
commanders present sealed orders,
which were to be opened simultan
eously at a given time and acted under.
These olTicers anticipated that those
orders related to a retreat and made
up their inindsthiit they would soon
be out of a very tight place. Judge
their surprise when at the appointed
time they broke the seals of their or
ders and found themselves ordered to
advance instead of retreat until other
wise directed. Tho country knows
the result. Supposing that General
Grant had taken Hancock's advice
and retreated, what then? Delay and
disaster. Still there nre those who
would fain have tiio country believe
that Hancock excelled Grant us a sol
dier, and yet lie could not induce him
to retreat. The truth is Grant never
retreated. He is not that brand of
warrior.
Lancaster Xav Era: "We must
bo as active, vigilant and wide awake
as the enemy. They never throw
away any chances, and if we are wise
we will not. It therefore behooves
those intrusted with the minor details
of the campaign to go over the whole
field at once and Hud out whether any
essential detail has been neglected
and to supply the omissions, if any are
louiul. 11 disaster comes, let us not
slider tho additional mortification of
reflecting that it might have been
averted by greater two and harder
work. The Democratic party lias
never put forth such eflbrts to carry
this city as they me now making.
Let us mutch them with even greater
exertions, so that our victory next
November will be local as well as na
tional." A sigiuhcant lact in connection
witit the South Carolina census is
mentioned by (he Washington cor
respondent cf the Boston Journal
One of the enumerators in that Stale
has written to General Wiiiker asking
pi-emission to withdraw certain papers
for the correction of what he calls an
excess by error of two hundred names.
General Walker declines to comply
with this request, as there is no pos
sible reason for a mistake of that
kind. The insertion of two hundred
additional names could only have
been done by intent ; this is the theory
of the Bureau. By a computation
which has been made it appears that,
should all the census enumerators of
that State have made a similar mistake
the population would have been ii.
creased 45 per cent,
A Charleston deq
New York Time says :
out' policy adopted by
managers to compel the
to vote the Democratic
licit to the
"The 'free.e
the Bourbon
colored men
ticket is be
ginning to make itself felt in the
southern and south-western counties
of t he Stale. A gentleman who lives
in one of these counties, mid whose
name is for prudential reasons with
held, said to-day in conversation that
the Democratic Clubs in 1-Miri licM.
Ilarnwel! and Hamilton counties, and,
he had good reason to believe, in other
counties too, had adopted resolutions
to employ no man; white or colored,
who would not support the Democratic
nominees. That, in consequence
thereof, many colored families are
homeless and actually sud'ering for
the want of food. The resolutions
go further, and threaten ostracism and
more serious consequences to land
owners who retain 'outlawed' persons
in their employ or who furnish food
or shelter to them after they are
ejected from their former homes."
The Boston Advertiser has pre
pared a careful table of the census re
turns of eacii state, which it is believed
will prove very nearly correct, as it
has most of the states officially. Ac
cording to this table tho total popula
tion of the United States, excluding
the territories, will he 48,430, 1-1,
against 3H,1ou,"l.") in 1870. The popu
lation of the northern states is given
at o0,7ti:!,820, and the southern states
at 17,l)!i2,:!31, the average rale of
growth in the south being slightly in
excess of 2s per cent., that in lite
norlli being slightly below 17 per
cent. The large comparative increase
in the South is looked upon with sus
picion, as it is known that the great
current of emigration has set toward
the north and west. Such a showing
under the circumstances will certainly
justify a thorough investigation on
the part of the census commissioner.
This statement gives Pennsylvania a
population of 4,220, OOO, against 3,521,
!S1 in 1H70, or a gain of twenty per
cent. The largest per cent, of in
crease is in Colorado, the rate being
oV.i. Nebraska comes next, having
increased at the rate of 371 per cent
Kansas third, her increase being 171
per cent. Texas is given at W, Florida
and West Virginia each at 00, Minne
sota at 77. Vermont is-the lowest, her
increase being but one per cent.

A NEW DEPARTURE!
BEST PLOW IN THE WORLD!
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Syracuse, N. Y.
Arc now putting ou the market a Plow that
Is as mueli superior to any Plow licretororo
made as the Plows ot tho past few yearn have
been superior to those inudo half a century
ago.
It combines all tho excellencies of any Plow
In use.
It obviates all tlio objections mado to any
other I'low.
In addition It embraces several new features
of the greatest value, for which we have ob
tained exclusive Patents.
Iia Beam, Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board
will be a composition of steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which wo have also
obtained au exclusive Patent; It will bo
culled
THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will oo eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A tirst-class Steel Plow, mado in tho or
tllnnry way, full rigged, retails fur twenty-two
dollars. Interior steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars,
Tho price of our new Plow will bo but
Seventeen Dollars, and it will bo tho
Cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of the
very best kinds of tho ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour in soils where all steel plows
nnd all other plows havo hitherto proved a
failure.
With tills Plow will bo Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, nnd which is
also a great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shitted' so as to take
more or less laud, and also more or loss pitch,
nnd It can always be kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
Side of It as desired, and always kept lu line.
The beam is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses,
Tho handles can bo adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It is a pert ect Plow. "
Wooden beams are going diuTof use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much, worse than to break.
A Steel beam Is tho necessity of the day. It
Is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other stylo.
When we say a Mold board Is chilled, tno
farmers know it Is sa
We do not palm off on them a composttlon
of various metals and call It chilled metaL
We want agents for this new Plow In every
town In this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
tbem, but we will pay the Railroad Freight
We propose to placo this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture
as possible.
It will be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the chcapeaU
Persons therefore who aro not willing to act
as agents on the principle that " a nimble six
pence is belter than a slow shilling," need not
apply tor an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute,
rwThls Is the only steel chilled Plow In
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with, that of any Iron Plow
ever mado.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would bo at nve dollars and a halt
Where there ure no agents we will, on re
ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
ltallroad staUou In the Stule and pay the
freight. Address,
