During tire month of August the
principal of the national debt has been
reduced over twelve millions of dol
lars. This thing has been going on
about s long as the Democratic party
can stand it, and they want a change.
The South needs the money "to re
cover from the devastating eflects of
the cruel war." Republican adminis
tration is applying every available
dollar to the reduction of the debt,
thus relieving the nation from the
burdens of a heavy annual interest ac
count. Let the Democrats once come
Into power ond they will inaugurate a
change that will put a sudden stop to
the monthly reductions in the
national debt.
As everybody is interested this
year in the possibilities of the Presi
dential electoral vote, we publish the

and reference. The Southern State,

E. V. Snittiley, writting from
Maine to the New York Tribune, says:
"one often hears outside of Maino
that Senator Illaine is unpopular at
home, and that his leadership, brilli
ant and able rtiough he be,, has driven
Republicans into the Greenback party.
Neither last year m r this have I seen
or heard anything in the state to give
ground for such an opinion. Rhone's
popularity here seeme to be greater
than ever. Last night at a meeting
in this town, held in gunshot of the
Senator's house, the bare incidental
mention of his name in a-speech by
Senator Allison of Iowa brought pro
longed applause from the audience.
A public man is always least popular
in his own town, where people are too
familiar with him to indulge in hero
worship, however much they may
esteem him. When a man's neighbor
interrupt a dispassionate argument to
cheer besause his name is pronounced,
there could not boa much better evi
dence of theirgood feeling toward him.
The Jacksonville Sun and Press
says that Northern Republican papers
do Florida a great injustice in classing
It with the solid South. It claims
that Florida has the same right to be
classed as a Republican Suite as New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut or
Indiana, and that with reasonable as
sistance from the North it may be
counted upon as for Garfield. There
is only one thing, says the Sun and
Press, which the Republicans of
Florida have reason to fear, and that
is that "fraud will prevail against an
honest Republican majority." That
may occur now as it did two years
ago, but there is an improved public
sentiment in Florida sentiment in
favor of a fair election and a fair
oount, and men who may feel a dis
position to engage In electiou frauds
are beginning to have a wholesome
fear of the Courts,
An Interesting statement has been
compiled nt Washingon which exhib
its in a striking light the prominence
of ex-rebels in Congress. The eleven
States which went into rebellion have
nlnty-llve Senators and Representa
tives, and of these no less than seven.-ty-two
were prominent iii'either the
Confederate Army or Congress. There
are forty-two Democrats In the Senate
and nineteen of them were identified
with the Confederacy, a majority of
them as offleers in the- rebel army.
There are one hundred and- forty-six
Democrats in the House, ond fifty-six
of them "point with pride" to similar
Wtiat Democrat ta Success Means.
(Plillailolphln 1'rnM.)
Suppose the Democrats should cap
ture both Congress and the Prtiidency
does anybody lelievethey would leave
the Supreme Court as It is? They
could make it Democratic by a simple
and easy change of the law. A dozen
linesj would do It. The Court now
consists of nine Judges seven Repub
licans and two Democrats. It would
only lie necessary to provide that it
should fonslst of nineteen or any
larger number. AH the . additional
Judges Would be Democrats, ami they
would then outnumber the Republi
cans. .
With a Democratic Congress to pass
sueli a bill and a Democratic President
to sign it and make the appointments,
does any rational man suppose the
Democrats would hesitate? It is easy
enough to find an argument. The
Court is behind in its business.
The labor must be better divided.
More Judges are needed to do the
work. Tlieic you have the pkuisahle
plea ui)on which the Democrats could
appoint enough to overcome the pres
ent Republican majority. Indeed,
they have already started on the truck.
Last January, Mr. Manning of
Mississippi, introduced a bill to make
the Court consist of twenty-one
Judges, It now rests in the hands of
a favorable cnmnijttee ready to be re
ported at any time. Give the
Democrats botli Congress and the
Presidency and who doubts that they
would promptly pass it ? Wouldn't it
be very strange if, with the power,
they didn't pass it.
What then? First of all, a Demo
cratic Court could overturn the
constitutional amendments. The
Democratic National Convention of
1808 deliberately resolved that the re
construction acts and the amendments
resting on them were unconstitutional
and void. General Hancock publicly
and explictitly indorccd that platform.
Only lust year Senators Rayard, Eaton,
Kernun, Lamar, Vorrhces und all
their leading Democratic collegues
voted against a resolution declaring
the amendments valid and binding.
That represents the Democratic posi
tion. The Democrats hold that the
amendments were passed by an un
warranted end unlawful coercion of
the reconstruction States in other
words, that they were not lawfully
passed at all. A Democratic Court
would so decide, and the constitu
tional settlements of the war would
be overthrown.
What next? With the destruction
of the amendments, the last obstacle
to the payment of the Confederate
iUtaims would be removed. Many of
these claims can be paid even unto the
amendments. The Confederate
soldiers can be pensioned. The dam
ages sustained where they may mask
themselves under any plea of loyalty
can be recompensed. Rut witli the
amendments nullified there would be
no need of any such pretense. Then
the claims for losses sustained by the
emancipation of the slaves and for all
other losses could be pressed and se
cured. Does it scorn increadible that
such demands should be made? Why
should it? The South was im
poverished by the war. It is poor and
needy to.day. It pays less than a
tenth of tlie taxes and revenues.
What it might secure would be no loss
and all gain? Under these circum
stances, it is all perfectly natural that
the South should make these demands
and seek to replenish its depleted
pockets from the public purse- It is
not half as surprising that the South
ern people should press these claims
as that any sensable man in the
North should for an instant think of
giving them the opportunity.
With tlie Democrat's success the
Supreme Court would lie reorganized,
tlie amendment would be overthrown
and Southern claims would swarm,
about the Treasury. It is said the"
Democrat parly would not dare go so
far? Why not? Once secure of the
President and of Congress, its first
act would be to overturn the election
laws. Then how could it be dis
placed? It holds a solid South by
fraud and force. It only needs New
York and Indiana to maintain its
power. With tlie election laws out of
tlie way, what would prevent it from
piling up fraudulent majorities in
New York and Indiana any time? It
could defy public opinion. The time
to stop it is now, before it can gain full
possession and entrench itself.
A Columbus, Ohio, correspondent
speaking of the Republican campaign
in that State says : "There has been
one thing noticeable, and that is tlie
abandonment of setting up claims of
large majorities und manufacturing a
big noise by tlie free use of Chinese
gongs and attractive drum major uni
forms, which is so taken with the
small boy. In the past a great deal of
money has been squandered in this
manner but this year Chairman Nash
has undertaken a new mode of con
ducting tlie affairs of the campaign by
substituting hard, energetic work in
every ward, township Rnd school
district in the State. The result of
such work is of tlie most satisfactory
charucter, and the information re
ceived from every county and school
district is regarded by the committee
as most encouraging iu every re
spect." General Albert J. Myer, Chief
Signal officer of the United States
Army, familiary known as "Old Prob
abilities," died at the Palace Hotel,
Buffalo, on the morning of the 24th
ult. The immediate cause of his
death was heart disease. He was a
Colonel in tlie regular army and brev
ented Brigadier General at the time of
his appointment to the Chief of the
SiVjud S. rvioe by President Grant.
The New York Sun admits the j
harmony among the Republicans of
that State and says: "At nil events,
the Democrats of the State may as
well prepare themselves for encounter
ing tlie full strength of antagonists
who have defeated them 'In one-half
of the general elections which have
been held in New York nince the Re
publican party was organized.
Tlie Hon. Smith Ely of Ely, Ver
mont, the President and chief stock
holder of the VcrmoutCop)er Mjn ing
Company, and uncle of ex-Mayor Ely
of New York City, u life-long Demo
crat has dclared for General Garfield.
He suys that he would give 30,000 rath
er than havo Hancock elected, "for,"
said he "that means free trade, or a
tariff" reduced to the great detriment
of mining interest."
Providence Journal: !'The Re
publican party claims the confidence
and support of tlie people of the
United States, because U demands
and would uphold the political rights
of every citizen, and because it lias
sustained, intends to maintain, if pos
sible, tlie credit of the nation and a
sound and honest currency. No other
party professes to hold both doctrines.
Roth are indispensable to the prosper
ity and peace of tlie country.''
The Milwaukee Sentinel says:
"The story about that $100,000 from
the Democrats of Wisconsin to tlie
Democrats of Indiana is very good for
a campaign yarn, but it is not true.
The Democrats of Wisconsin are not
giving tlieir tigmey in that way, when
every cent of it is needed in tlie Con
gressional lights. It is possible but
not probable, that Parkinson gave the
$100,000 out of his own pocke."
Boston Journal: "General Butler
is the first Democrat to apologise for
the farce called an election in Alabama
where the Democratic majority is !)2,
000. He may commend himself to the
fraudulent voters in the North by
comparing tlie management of Mas
sachusetts elections with that which
has just taken place in Alabama and
in tlie .South generally, but he will
win tlie confidence of no intelligent
men by such comparisons."
Tlie Springfield (Mass.) Pcpubli
can says: "Tlie return of E. H. Gove
of Bjddeford to the Republican party
is a serious reverse to tlie fusion ists of
Maine. Mr. Grove is one of the best
men they have had in their ranks, and
was to the dato of his avowed conver
sation Chairman of the Greenback
State Committee. He was Secretary
of State under Garcelon last year, and
the year before ran for Congress in the
Portland district against Reed, Re
publican, a.Td Anderson, Democrat."
The Cincinnati Commercial re
sponds to'Candidate English's defense,
that he did not make any money out
of the mortgaged property he fore
closed at Indianapolis, with a sworn
statement of the Indianapolis Asses
sor, showing 302 pieces of property
foreclosed, on which English must
have made $100,500, according to its
lowest assessed value for fifteen years.
Most of this property fell into the
Shyloek's grip in tlie last two years,
and on nineteenths of it nearly all tlie
original purchase "money had been
paid.
A serious accident occurred in the
Stoneham oil field last Monday, by
the explosion of gas at the No. 2 well
of Mr. Tolles, on the Haldensparger
farm. The well began flowing and
gasing when tlie explosiu; took place.
Mr. Boon Mafiee was in the derrick
at the the time, and ran like all the
rest, but he was badly burned on the
left arm, hand und face. lK.-i injuries
are not dangerous, but aggravating.
At the time of the explosion there lay
upon the ground not far from the
well sixty pounds of nitro glycerine.
Miss Lena Myers, looked from the
doorway of the house near by; saw
the danger, should tlie glycerins ex
plode, and she cooly walked from the
house to the dangerous compound and
picked up tlie parcels and begin walk
ing awuy with them, conveying them
to a further distance from tlie fire.
She was discovered ny the before
bewildered men, who ran to her assis
tance. It was a noble, heroic act. and
Mr.'Tolles id profuse in his praise of
the dauntless girl. When all was
bewildering excitement among tlie
men, this young woman saw the dan
ger, and by her act undoubtedly u
greater explosion and dectruetiou was
prevented. Tlie derrick was consum
ed and a 230 barrel tank. We gut her
these facts from Mr. George O. Cor
nelius. Wurren Ledyer.

A NEW DEPARTURE!
BEST PLOW IN THE WORLD!
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Syracuse, N. Y.
Are now putting on the market a Plow that
la as much superior to any Plow heretofore
made as the Plows of the past few years havo
been superior to tliose made naif a century
ago.
It combines all tho excellencies of any now
In use.
It obviates all tho objections made to any
other Plow.
In addition it embraces several new features
of the greatest value, for which we navo oh
talned exclusive Patents,
Its Beara,Clevls, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be 8TEEL, and its mold board
will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which wo havo also
obtained an exclusive Puteut. It will ho
called
THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A flrstclass Steel Plow, made In the or
" dinar' way, lull rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior Steel riows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The 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 tho
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boarda
It will scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will bo Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which is
also a great improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can bo shitted so as to taka
more or less laud, and also more or less pitch,
and It can always bo kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
Side of It as desiR'd, and always kept In line, i
Tho beam Is adjustable tor Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to occoramo.
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It Is a pertect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of 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 the necessity of the day. IE
is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other stylo.
When tee say a Mold board Is chilled, tho
farmers know It Is so.
We do not palm off on them a composition
of various metals and call it chilled nieUiL
We want agents for this new Plow In every
town in this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near tho cost of manufacture
as possible.
It will be tho beat Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the eheaiieat.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that " a nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling, " need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
rwTbls is the only Steel Chilled Plow in
tha 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 mode.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at Ave dollars and a halt
Where there are no agents we will, on re
ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay the
freight. Address,
