Chairman.
.
The democratic state central con
ruilteo, at a meeting held last week,
declared In favor of Hon. Tito?. A.
lleudricks, of that state, for President.
Hendricks would make a good **>-
•lent.
The democrats of Berks and (,'aut
hria counties, iu this state have de
clared for Gen. Hancock for president.
There is no better evidence of the
unfitness of Gen. (.rant for the presi
dential chair than the continued neg
lect with which he attends to his du
ties. Every summer, since his inaugu
ration, he has spent at Long Brauch,
attendiug horse races and ball?, leaving
all the business of the presidential of.
fico in the hands of his clerks at \\ a9li
ington.who run the machine, while he
is among the prize fighters and sport
|)- men of the country. The other
.lay the Ku Kiux committee found it
necessary to see him —where did they
go to, to Washington, the seat of gov
ernment, where he ought at alltiniesto
be? No, they struck for Long Branch
which scouts to have been fixed upon
as the summer capita: of the l. uited
States.
When President Johnson, after
veais of close confinement in the cx
- .itive dumber, attending faithfully
to his duties, made a single trip from
Washington to St. Louis, lasting hut
a -bort time, how was he belabored for
it by the radical party? Act Gen.
Grant has been away the whole of ev.
crv summer sinee he has become presi
d nt and not a word of complaint is
heard from those who scolded at An
drew Johnson for "swinging around
tb<: circle."
Hut, we think it is all right—Gen.
Grant at Washington or Gen. Grant
awav from W ashingtou, is all the
same, as his utter want of capacity for
the office make? the administration of
the government absolutely dependent
upon his secretaries who know more
than he dcs about state affaire, ualess
the qualities of horse-flesh and dog
piij>s come under that head.
Who ever heard of any of the old
er presidents, —Washington,
Adams, Polk, Buchanan,—leaving
the seat of government and spending
In- summer at n fashionable watering
place among the prize fighters, horse
racers, and dancing girls ? Vei ily the
•'God and morality" party has made
as big strides in elevating the character
of ..ur country as it has in elevating the
negro.
A Man of Hie People.
The Harris burg Patriot gives the
following history of the Democratic
candidate lor Auditor General, as a
workingman: "William M'Candleea,
the Democratic candiilate for Auditor
Gniera) of Pennsylvania, is a practi
cal machinist and railroad engineer.
Ho is a son of David M'Candless, a
Protestant Irish drayman, who for
many years panned his calling ti|on
the'wharves in Philadelphia. At
about fifteen years of age he was ap
prenticed to the celebrated firm of
Norris Brothers, engine builders, to
h arn their calling. Tie remained with
them for five years and became a skill
ed workman "in every branch of the
trade. He so conducted himself that
nt the i xpi ration of his time I hey gave
tiim n certificate of first-class capacity
His intelligence, industry and skill
had so elevated him with his employ
irs that the Messrs. Norris selected
l.im to Like charga of and deliver to
iho New York and Erie railroad a
~umber of engines they had built for
iho company, and recommended him
to General "M'Calluin (then Superin
tendent and during the war Brigadier
General in charge ol millitary rail
ways for employment. He was em
ployed to put these engines into prac
tical working, and during 1854 ran
an engine upon the New \ ork and
Erio railroad, between Susquehanna,
Pa., and Hornellsvillc, New York,
in 1855 he was employed by the Penn
sylvania railroad company, uud rau
' an engine between Philadelphia aud
Harrisourg. The necessity for skilled
labor in the shops at Parkesburg caus
ed them to transfer him thither ami
he worked at hie bench ia keeping en
gines in older for several months
i Owing t*tba refusal of the company
to promote him, he being then but
twenty-two years of age, he left their
employ and commenced the study ol
the law with Moses A. Dropsic, Esq.,
of Philadelphia. Of his subsequent
career a? a gallant soldier we have al
leady written.
•'General William MVandlc** i* a
man of the people. He can to-day
take down a locomotive and relit and
equip it, and when thus refilled lie can
seize its lever and with it *afely draw
a train of ears over the heavesl grade
, in the State."

Shall Corruption Triumph!
We think that by tbi* time the people of
Pennsylvania, pretty xenerally, are well
* all* tied that corruption of the wrorst kind
has been deep-rooted in every department
of our state government, for the im*t ciybl
years, aud that a chance is neve.*aiy if the
stuandarinK* of the public monies is to be
stoppvsl.
The most wasteful extravagance has
been practiced by bt>lh the senate and
house, under a radical m a canty couree of
unnecessary offi.-crs have received large
sala'ies with nothing at all to do.
Thousands upon thousands have been
filched from tho treasury by Berber,
with the countenance of the two hou>e*
The auditor c*'i>eral has paid account*
which he knowed were not valid aud which
it was his sworn duty lo reject. But to
satisfy party pets, the people's money was
j stolen away.
The radical state treasurers have beeu
uiakinc use of the public funds for jrisate
speculation from which they annually reap
their hundred thousand, which is an uu
law ful camblinc with the public fund*. ~
Thousands upvn thousands are squan- i
■lered upon public buildinc* and public
Cround* at Harrisburc, each year, in order
that radical politicians may get jobs to ,
fatten upon <
Shall these thine*, these bold-faced plun- ,
de.rincs continue ? Are the people willing
that the public funds shall be put to these
base uses, and tbat thieves and cormorants
shall use them at their will? If not, then
let us have a change, next October. Let
us elect Gen. M Candless, the honest man
statesman, gallant soldier and patriot.
Let us have a democratic legislature and
see whether a change will not be for the
better—worse it cannot be than it has been
during the last eight or ten years.
What say the people, this question is for
thm to decide. Will you stop corruption
and thriving ? then vote for A 'Candless
and Cooper, and elect a democratic legis
lature in October next.
A great excitement is pervading the
fashionable circles of Jacksonville. Fla.
A murder case in progress there attracted
a large assemblage each day, and colored
and white ladies having been brought in
to close contact in the court room, the war
of races and the extremely hot weather in
duced an appeal to the Court as to whether
the colored ladies or those who labored un
der the disadvantage of being born of while
parents should hare the precedence in re
gard to eligible seats. The Judge deci
ded that the gallery of tte court room
should be devoted to the exclusive use of
thecoloied ladies, and that the white wo
men should occupy the floor of the court
bouse. This worked satisfactorily for a
while; but an American citizeness of Afri
can descent insisted upon taking her seal
among the white ladies, and the Judge or
dered ber removal. In censequenco of
this an indignation meeting was called at
the African church, and the Judge was ar
rested and brought before United States
Commissioner C. J. Robinson, charged
with a violation of the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution.
How wholesome it would be for swiue of
our Centre county rads, mascul ne and
feminine, could they only for once be plac
ed in such a fix—mixed up upon a hot Ju- 1
ly day, with a profuse sprinkling of dar
kies. We think one dose would cure them
of niggeristn and negro equality.
Do not forget the delegate elections-on
Saturday Let democrats elect delegates
who will be concerned for the best inter
esU of the party, and who will place the
best and fittest men in nomination. Then
let all democrats make a united pull for
victory.

The county Law Library fund*, for the
14 years proceeding the library act,
averaged about $76 per year, part of which
went to the state, part to informers, and
the balance for township purposes, whilst
the amount that was appropriated to the
state library for law books, at one pop,
last winter without a "meekly" objection,
was over nine thousand dollars of the tax
payer's fiind*.
In the bouse, last session of the legisla
ture on the motion to squander fifty thous
and dollars for ventilating the asylum.
Meek voted "yea." Also voted yea at
same time to present the hoinocpathic doc
tor* of Philadelphia five thousand dollars,
and with n wink allowed over nine thous
and dollars to bo thrown away for law
books, ete., for the state library—in all
fio.OOO of the peoples taxes, on these jobs,
and took SoGU extra pay. How is that for
economy. See the official Record. I*ot there
be "ventilation."
When a candidate cm so "meekly"
promise the sheriff" s office for next year to
a quarter dozen of aspirants, tbe assembly
tor the same year to half dozen anxious
ones, and the county comiiiUaionerhip to a
few, such an one must be tlia most "promi
sing" young man in the county.
Democrats look out roarbacks, they aro
gotten up so "meekly."
One of the greatest feats of modern rail
road building was performed on Buriday
last on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad,
which runs from Cincinnati to St. Louis.
The road was originally constructed on a
gauge of six feet between the rails, and it
became necessary to reduce the gaugt to
four feet eight aud one-half inches, soas to
accommodate the cars of connecting roads.
The lenghi of the lino is tbreo hundred and
forty miles; and the problem was to take
up both rails for this entire distance and
relay thein nearer each other. To facilitate
tho task the spikes tor tho inside of the
two rails, as they would liu in their new
posi.ion, were driven, and the holes for
the outer spikes bored in advauee. An ar
my of men, two thousand fix e hundred in all
(or seven to each mile), was then distribu
ted along tho track, and at sumbe they set
to work. After seven hours of incessutit
labor the job was accomplished, and at 4
• o'clock the next morning trains w vre run
ning over the toad.. The entire cost of the
operation, ineludiag h reduction of the
gauge ot thg rolling stock, wa fI.fiOO.OUO.

The Southern people, ►*>* the World,

When th*' people of the South h,*\ , \-

plundered, and oppie- od. there hu forth
with been raised, in all the Radical news,
pa pars, a chorus of how L agaiii-l tli* ir do
loyally to the yoffc .
We must in candor admit thui the R oli
cab have tome ground for this charge For,
in gvnnt truth, the Federal authorili. at
Washington have created, encouraged,
ahetteel, ami sustained the interloping ras
cal* whose villau.v and rapacity the South
ern people have ,'ouud 100 nhqsuinable lor
|avtieiit endurance. In the first elections
which took place ander the reconstruction
acts, the carpet-baggers were the trlum-.
pliant party. They succeeded by the nol
of Federal bayonet* and terrorism, IIKV.
ing thus gnitved po.-c-cdon ol the t W
Slate goveriimet*, they proceeded to or
ganise a carnival of legalized extortion and
robbery by the mo-t flagrant and outrage
ous abuse of the taxing power. And be
cause the Southern people did not submit
lo be skinned without squirming, they are,
accused of chronic disloyalty t* the b , do
ral government.
When Mr. Greeley made his journiy to
Texas in the early part of the season, he
took some pain* to inform himself of the.
tricks and manners of these previous cur
pet-hagg* rs w ho are patr* nized by Getter- j
al Grant's administration a* the pillar* ot
loyalty in theSoutliern Staler.. He iuquired |
of Deimwrats, and he inquired *>t eaiidid, j
decent Republican*; and from both be re-j
ceived the same story oftheinfaiuou* char- 1
a* ter of these carpet-baggers who control
the legislation and administer the Stat.- 1
governments of the South. When he re
turned home lie stated the truth as be had . 1
learned it, but with tho caution natural t •>,
a RepuM ican editor who was unwilling to >
injure hi* party. Many Republican jur- I
usb have arraigned him for his fraiikne*.

yesterday he thought fit to hun*elt i
in the Tribune. He reiterates his ehargea i
againts"thethievishearjwt-bagger-,' mak- j
ing only this plea in mitigation; thai he ,
never included, nor intended to include, (
all Northern residents in the South in hi ,]

abatement is of no practical account- For
as the few honost carpet-bagger* voted t- (

Ail political party must be held rivspottsi-i
ble for the actual reault* >fit* administra- j

It i* but fair to the Southern |>eople that ■

fore make large quotations. Its spite hi-,.
Republican c doring, the truth *hin-- forth \,
through hi# statement* with convincing!,
clearness. These extracts have the added ,
weight which belongs to the testimony of
an unwilling witness;
In the hasty survey given inour Lincoln
Hall speech of the Southern situation, the
persiftcnt Democratic outcry ag-iin.*t "the I
carpet-bagger* '—their livnocrisy, their i
venality, rapacity, Ac,—claimed attention. ,
No statement of the Ss.uthern uroblcuil'
would he complete or candid whicli ignor- j 1
i*d this complaint. "Carpet-bag villanv
was often urged a* the provocation and [.
excuse of Ku-Klux atrocity. Hid such
villany existT If so, what wa* its nature j
and extent? h
We answered I hoc questions frankly
and truthfully. All thtwe atignializsd :
"carps't-baggerv ' are not rascal*; many of|
them are worthy, upright men, who are
obnoxious to the uht planting aristocracy
and its satellites only because they nre.ear
neat, efficient Republican*. If tbey would
support and vote the Democratic ticket i
they would nat be accounted "carpet-bag- ,
ger ' at all, though frc-h from New Kng
latid ur Ohio. But there are "carjK-t-bag
gers" who are knave* and hypocrite*
who, making loud profession* of zeal lor
Republican aacendaney ami negro en- 1
franchiseiuent and elevation, are m inly
intent on filling their own k-t frointhoi
spoil ol an impoverishes!, unthrifty people.
And this kind of "earpet-bugg. r* have
been prooiinent and powerful in the legis
lation and administration of several South
ern States, a* their bloated public expe:i- .
diture, taxation, anil indebtedness abund
antly, deplorably attest. Jiurh is the na
ked truth, exaggeraUnl, very naturally,
by partisan hostility and bitterness, hut ,
had enough when reduced t" it# real di
mension*. This rapacity hu* embittered
the ex-rebels, who w ere bitter enough al
ready, and t*o willingto believe that every .
Republican was of course n canting knave. ,
It has alienated mid repelled many who:'
would have been Republicans ere tin# had :
the new State government* been thorough- I
Iv upright anil frugal, a* it wo* imperative, ,
o"n many nrpoiipts, that they should hare
keen. It has Impeded riigoiillnistint), a|id|'
is this day the chief impiiliment to the! I
triumph of Republican principles at the ,
South. So we said in substance in 01m,
Lincoln Hall speech, and every inteligent
person in the reconstructed States know* :
it t" be substantial'}' true.
Mr. Greeley has been accused by jour
nals of his own party of consorting with.
Democrats during his Southern trip, and
taking his character of the carpet-bagger#) |
from them. But tho force of his statement* .
cannot he broken by such n subterfuge.
He asserts in the following passage that '
(hey rest mainly U|MIII Republican nuthori- ;
: . 1
Those journals have unanimously asstim -
ed that we derived our impression* of the '
thieving carpet-hugger* from Democratic j
sources, and explain them by the alleged (
fact we mainly associated with Democrats
while in the South. Now it is the simple |
truth that our worst impressions of that 1
sort of "rarpet-haggers" w ere made by the |
statement* not of J)ci||Of.fnt* at all, hut of j,
zealous Republican". Die of them was
himself a recent emigrant froin Illinois,
who never voted any other than the Uepub- ,
Bean ticket, but who went South to plant
cotton, and declare# himself nearly ruined 1
by tbe heavy taxes imposed on his plunta- i
tion by the' carpet-taggers," who. by man- |
aging the negriM's. ruled and robbed bi
county, continually putting up swindling!
job* of bridge-building, Ac,, to nil their
own pockets. Am ther was our friend of ,
many years who la*t fall headed the Re
publican State ticket In Louisiana, and '
wa* ehn'ted by an overwhelming major!- 1
ty. We lake the liberty of indicating hint ,
without asking leave, because the fact thai
he 1* making a determined fight as Audi
t*>r against tab robber# who woqld gland. 1
ly ruin the credit tficy have ahs'irhod
the funds of the fttate, i* so widely known
that he cannot if he would conceal the
truth that he I* a natural 01 emy ofthieve*.
80 in Texas we heard more to the prejil- 1
dice f ra-eally carpet-baggers from Re
publicans than from Democrats. Had wo
heard nothing t all, Ihe public records,
and financial exhibits of several Southern
Stutps bear Lwtitftonv tfiat cnui)<H ho mis

Mr Greeley turns upon his wincing cnr-1

When the!.-;. PC, th? FWMB PfUMli>tl

England, that nati-m was preptcred, in
some measure at le.i-t, to receive and j
make the In -t use c-t it. Nor is tSte
enterprise of minor im|Hirtauee in a
natural imint ot view, when the statu,
tier of (lie trade j-a>-ing through the •
canal are taken into consideration.
The English hou-e oft ory aud Ilrot'i
ors have prepared and issued an intet
esting and instructive statement ot the
actual traffic through the eauai since
it* optning in November, l s >:'.

sea to sea with cargoes. The nuttihcr
of vessels using the canal has steadily
increased. In December, no
| more tlian tc'elve v< >-'!■> |ia-ed
through, with a t.'al tonnage of 0.017
tons During the year lf<7o no fi r
than -li'l vessel* passed through, with
a total tonnage of l3ti,(lM tons. A>
exis-eteil, England h is i.ikt n the Na 1
in the numucr of v ••. > passed
through the canal. Front that conn
try, three hur.drctl and nineteen ship*
are regiateml upon the Imoh* of the
jinlraiiee otliee. Franee come* next ,
j mi the list with reventy five ship*, and
the Ottoman empire, including r'gypl,
jthiid, with fifty ship-. Austria stand*
next, with twenty six ships. Iln-ia,
jlireece. Den work, the Fnited Slate*,
and Xanxilmr play cijoa! parts in Ihe
I movement, each etuitributing one s >!i
[tary ship to the wa!ir caravan. Since
May, JM7O, registers of the time of en
try and i xit have Incn hi pi, and tin y
•how the average timo consumed in
passing through the canal to lie a lit
tle less than forty-<ld>t hour*. In
tnanv ca*es thi* time ha* been consider
ably redticetl. The French steamer
Iloogly, for example, a vriut l of <>np >
| thousand and seven hundred and st v
cnty-sevcii tons burden.tlrawing tweii
tv foet of water, pas.-ed through in .In
ly, on her way, from China to Mar
sailles, in IwCnty-six hours, reaching
I Sut z at 7 a. m. on the 20th of July,
land leaving Port Said at H:.10 a. m. oil
the 21st. In August, the same ves-t 1
t astward, left Fori Said at ft:} r > a. in.
!on the lijlh nrttl Stnz at 7a. in. on
the 14th of August. Sailing *hi|>s are
towed through without difficulty in
from two to three day*. The cotton
and tea trade* have not yet made a
heavy figure in the use oi the canal, i
Hut {milt interests are on the increase. |
In I*7o, thirty-nine thousand three
[hundred torn of cotton, and eighteen
thousand tw<> hundred and ninety-two i
ton* of tea were carried through from
Suez to Port Said. The largest vessel*
|which passed thiough in I'hO. were
the Jumna, transport, of three thous
and tons burden and eighteen tcot
draught, and the Delaware, Bombay
packet and cotton steamer, of two
[thousand and ninety seven ton*
burden and twenty one feel draught.
The local trade of the canal between'
Alexandria and Istunilia seems to la?
devcio) ing rapidly. Steamers go
through in from six to nine hours eas
ily, The passenger trillic, especially ,
by the French rn*il boat* and by the
[English ioj|t* fftgrplpg from India,
surpasses the estimates fiarmetl at the
(ipeuiiig of the canal. These are sonic
of the facts in "connection with the
trade of the Suez canal, by which a
short road is open to India, and lh<'
trade of that portion of Asia. They
should stimulate the nation in relation
to a similar channel from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Pacific Dec an, through
which commerce can reach Japan,
China, and other portion* of the Ilu-t,
without rounding Cape Horn, and de
layed months in the nus.-age. Even
'if Piirien i* clo-cil, there are routes
nej"ai-$ Tei.imntc|ef! and Nicaragua
