read, to re-inspire the erring brethren.
However, as they have a majority in

they have is inspiration enough with
out Jlr. Tilden's speech, which was
not much more than a complaint that

a majority vote had elected him.
The Constitution, which the Fa

said that the majority vote in Presi

governing vote, but that a majority
of the efctoral votes nfmll be the Con

changed it must be so. If Mr. Til

Letter from an Old Jaeksonian Democrat
f Urrenw&od Tu unship.
Near Seven tar Tavf.rx, )
June 16, 1877, )
.Vy Dear .Vr. Editor : A pleasanter
EigLt than this Saturday night the
merry month of June never turns
ont It's not warm ; it's not cool ; a
sick man could almost enjoy it, and
I'll bet high on it, that it has bred
sickness in many a fellow who is out
sparking his eirl- I'll bet that many
a fellow Lis a thumping under his
waist-coat in bis heart If the boys
don't want to fall in love with the
foils they should not spark them on
ench mellow nights.
The grandeur of night-time in the
Son ill wh-it wnkes such fiery lovers
down there, an 1 the immoral social
and pa'.i'ica! institutions of that sec
tion is Lt makes such desperadoes
down there. Andy Jackson was not
a desperado ; Le was bred outside of
the circle of that class, but he could
not get outside the circle of the in
fluence of the beautiful mellowing
Southern nights, and that's why he
was such an ardent lover and wooer,
all of course within the letter of lcg
iblative enactment He underwent
the thumping of his heart under his
vest Most every man lias had that
txpei it-nce some time in his life ; even
the bachelor class have felt it, though
the most of them affect to know
notliir.g about the throb that a woman
imparts to a man when she has found
her way to Lis heart ; they declare
tiiitt tlifeir heart has not leen reached.
Who knows T Perhaps 'tis so with
some of them ; perhaps disappoint
ment causes others to so declare
themselves. But I guess love for
other objects than women gives a man
Leart-acLc, particularly when he don't
reach the object
Mr. Tilden, who ran against Mr.
naves, is bachelor, and perhaps he
has had the woman heart -ache ; but
as he is not on public record on that
point it will not do to say that he has
had the vroiuan thump under his vest
Ii.it what he saiJ last Tuesday evening
in alliile speech, in York, put him
plainly on the public record as hav
ing an ache in his heart for another
object which had no woman in it
They were a talking about his little
speech at the Stars this evening. It
was a kind of an unexpected thing to
hear a complaint from their defeated
Presidential candidate ; they thought
that he was satisfied with the result,
with the work of the Commission
that declared him not elected. They
had not been told that the leaders of
the pirty was to hold a sort of s
National Caucus at New York last
Tuesday evening to decide what kind
of a campuign they would have to set
tip to rim their pnrty on, for the pol
icy of President Hayes is giving such
satisfaction to the mass of both par
ties that his Work is likely to take a
great many of the strong' Democrats
among the mass over to him. To
hold a sort of a National caucus and
raise the bat lie-cry for the party, was
the thing that most puzzled them.
They wanted the caucus liot to" appear
as a caucus, an! so when Mr. Hen
dricks, who wits on the ticket with
Mr. Tilden, for Vice President, con
cluded to go to Europe, they saw the
chance to get a caucus without hav
ing it appear as a caucus. Last Tues
day was the time for Mr. Hendricks
to l in New York to get tickets, &.C.,
for his trip over the ocean, and that
was the time for the caucus. It was
held last Tuesday night Several
thousand invitations had been sent
out and letters from all parts of the
country were received, and men from
all parts were present, and the plan
for the next Democratic campaign
was mapped out Mr. Tilden him
self sounded the key-note, and that !
key-note is, that he was counted out of
tht Presidency, that he was elected by
the popular vote, and that the Dem
ocracy cannot under such circum
stances, support Mr. Hayes. Ill tell
you if you fellows had turned your
back on Hayes, the world would never
have heard of that caucus ; but turn
ing and going so strong for Hayes'
Southern policy scared the Northern
leaders of my old party, and they
thought it best to make some stand,
and thr.t is their stand
There is nothing in it but the cry
of a whipped man a man who was
whipped with the whip that he
thought he could whip Hayes with.
Old Hickory never liked whipping
people, and I would like to know how
that caucus is going to get over the
fact that the Andy Jackson Associa
tion of Washington City endorsed
the policy of President Hayes. How
can Hayes and his policy be both
angel and devil? Will the caucus
make the association take back its
endorsement ? or have the associa
tion the pluck of Old Andy, to san J
by the endorsement f Hayes ?
I never expected to hear Mr. Til
den make such a whining speech. I
had always understood that he is a
real blooded man, descended from an
old noble Norman family, having a
private record that recounts the her
editary political power and govern
ment of his ancestors, which should
all teach him that such political ac
tion as tltat which puts a man into
office and takes him out of office
within four years, is the merest po
litical bauble. His noble descent
shotild have put him above 6uch a
whine as he uttered last Tuesday
night I don't 6ee why he should!
hanker after the place unless it would
be to say that one of the line of peo
ple from which he sprang, had also
become the temporary head of a peo
ple who change their rulers every
four years.
It does not sound well for Tilden
to complain. He belittles himself.
It is belittling to complain over a
thing that a man and his friends
agreed to. The whole reading world
knows that after the last Novemler
election was held, that the election
was so close on the electoral vote
that loth parties claimed some three
of the Southern States. The world
knows that Mr. Tilden's friends
would not be satisfied if the electoral
vote of these States were declared
against Tilden, and unless Congress
would give them a chance to show
that their electors were elected they
would make a fuss about it.
The reading world further knows
that Congress gave them just what
they wanted, and that they got a Com
mission to examine as to which of the
two sets of electors from the disputed
States had the legid right to be
counted ; but every time a vote was
taken the Tilden men voted against
the Hayes electors, and if they had
had the power they would have de
clared Tilden elected ; but they did
not have the majority under the laws
for the case, which they helped
to make, and now that they were
lieaten through the forms of the law
that they woiked day and night to
make, they send up a bi'ter lamenta
tion. I'll tell you, boy, Andy Jack
son never acted that way ; he would
have scorned to cry over a battle that
had been lost, which had been a bat
tie of his own choosing. On a cer
tain occasion Old Hickory and a
plucky friend went down to where
Tom Benton lived. They went there
expressly to brow beat Benton and
his friends into certain measures that
Jackson wanted to have adopted ; but
Benton could not be browbeaten, and
before the case had progressed far, a
regular street fight grew out of the
dispute, which ended by Benton and
his brother giving Jackson and his
friend a complete whipping. Jack
son and his friend left the town a
good deal crest-fallen, and proceeded,
in silence, on their journey, on horse
back, a dozen mile3 without speaking
a word, when Old Hickory broke the
6uence by declaring that "the sun
nowhere shines on a braver and
better man than Tom Benton."
He didn't cry out like the Demo
cratic caucus in New York, through
Mr. Tilden, that they had got whipped
by weapons of their own choosing,
and now they are determined not to
stand it
Mr. Tilden laid it on heavy that he
had been elected by the popular vote,
and that the popular vote had been
outraged because Mr. Hayes, who is
the minority man, occupies the Presi
dency. It would be beneath Old
Andy, if he were living, to go before
the people with such stuff as that,
for it is well known to even people
who dor not read,- or cannot read, that
Presidents are not elected by tbs pop
ular or majority vote ;' they are fleeted
by wlif rn called (be electoral vote.
I bate never beard that if. Tilden
advocated b ststem of voting fur the
President of the United State by nia
jorrfy ballot. Siuce the rebellion tbey
bate not bad an honest majority eiee
tioo in the Southern States. By book
or by crook tLe old rebel element have
slways organized the Ka Klux or White
Liners, about election time to ride over
large district and so iutiifcidate the
new poling population (the colored peo
ple) that tbey voted fur men tbey did
not wuh tc vote for, to save their lives,
and to save themselves Iroiu being
abused, and to save what property they
accumulated from being destroyed.
Majority rule down South means negro
rule, and the only way for the old rebel
element to keep the colored people from
voting with the men who put down the
Hi' be 1 1 ion is to intimidate them ; aud
that is tbt) way that the potu ar vote of
Mr. Tilden came to be so largo in Mis
sissippi, Georgia and other Southern
S ates; and ben Mr. Tilden goes ofi
in ucb speech as the one delivered
last Tuesday, about the "rt'gAs of elec
tive franchise" be gets off a most bit
ter criticism on the work of bis own
party friends in the S uth. If his
party friends bad not ridden over la ge
districts in the South, and with the
torch and shot gun carried intimidation
and submission to the commands of the
master race, be would nut be able to
even get off such a criticism as the one
let off in the caucus mentioned.
It does seem a little queer that a
man of Mr. Tilden's blood should come
be tore the couuiry with the plea put
forward in caucus. Future genera
nous will write u dowu as a great mis
take, aud the acts of lutiiuidattou tuat
will tor a loug time be practiced on the
colored lolks ot the So'jtU will be tbe
evideuue that will prove beyond all
clamorous aud captious compiaiut that
the pupuisr tote of the toutti was man
ulaciUred tor Mr. Tildeu through the
agency of the ehot-guu, the torch, the
whipping post, aud learful threats. So
it bus beeu since rebellum, excepting
wheu armed proeutiou ex 'ended usell
over the mwly tuide citizeus, but as it
is uot the thing that Americans tike, lo
have the military stand over them, and
as the ujuiur) rule iu the South has
tailed to bring the old slave race aud
the master raca to better tviius, the
policy has beeu changed, so that the
political control wilt be vested in the
master race, which is the miuorit race.
I he representatives ot the master race
have given tbi-ir solemn promise that
they will abide by the results that came
through the Rebellion, aud that they
will recognize every right of the color
e i people, except that of being put di
rectly under thrir c ntrol. President
Haves has taken them at their word,
and bis party have followed htm in bis
policy. The mass of the Democracy
have followed him in tbe policy, be
cause it is to bring quiet and peace to
the country a healing balm to tbe
wound ot rebellion aud war. It is just
tbe policy that Old Andy would bave
pursued. He would say : " Yes, gen
tlemen, I accept your promises, as
made in good fith, and from hence
forth the couuiry will start on a new
and iaiproted mission."
Hut you see all that ails Tilden is
the thump under bis waist coat, just
bke tbe thump under the waist-coats
f the lads who asked their sweet
hearts to have tneni, and got for an
auswer, "io !" Tilden get for bis ask
ing for the Presidency, from the people
who had it to give, he answer, "No,"
and that's what makes dim cotupain,
and as a disappointed and complaining
lover never gets much stmpalhy, so
with Mr. Tilden. 'I hey bad better
talk about the Turks and the Russians.
Good tight I'll be up to the fair.
Yours trulv.

A dispatch from Springfield, Mass.,
List Friday, says : The covered bridge
over the Connecticut river, between
Northampton and Hadley, was blown
over by a hurricane, accompanied by
a severe thunder shower, at 1.30 this
afternoon. There were six teams on
the bridge when it went over, and Mrs.
Sullivan, of Old Hadley, was instant
ly killed. Sheriff Enos Cook, of
Hadley, was cut badly on the head,
and William Smith, of Amherst, had
a shoulder dislocated. Two horses
have been Liken from the ruins alive.
The bridge was 1,124 feet long, and
the newest portion of it has been
built about fifteen years. An un
completed bridge of the Massachu
setts Central Railroad was also demol
ished. Numerous tobacco sheds have
also been blown down by the gale.
At Hartford, Mass., a severe thun
der and rain storm did considerable
damage to fritit and shade trees. Two
barns were blown dowu in West Hart
ford. Lightning struck several
places. No loss of life reported.
A furious storm of rain and hail,
accompanied by a terrible wind-storm,
passed over Poughkeepsie, N. Y., on
Thursday afternoon. The damage to
fruit and growing crops will be very
heavy. A number of buildings were
struck by lightning, but no person
was killed. Trees were blown down
and immense quantities of glass
broken.
During a thunder storm in the out
skirts of Middletown, N. Y.,onThurs

There are sours kinds of so-called
Vinegar in the market than brands of
family fiuttr. Tbe New York- Tribune
of tbe llhb alt thus alludes to one of
them.
Tbe Board of Health of the District
of Columbia bave condemed five car
toads ot Vinegar scut there from Chi
cago, on the grouud that it is not
genuine article, and it very injurious to
health. An analysis of tbe so-called
Vim gat has been mile. It appears,
according to the r- port ol tbe lizard ot
Health, that the Viueear contains 51
54-100 grains per gallon of anhydrous
sulphuric acid combined with lime to
foiui b sulpLate ot lime equivalent to
117 iJ6 100 grains of gypsum per gal
lon, and besides that five grains of free
sulphuric acid per gallon. Tbe B ard
also report that this sample was taken
from bu luvoice of more than 1,000
barrels brought there Washington
CltJ to be sold as vinegar, and, that
it is likely to find a ready sale on as
count of its low price
The repirt concludes as follows:
"When we think that oil of vitriol
(ulpliuric) aeid can be bought at fire
cents a pound, and that a pound of the
aeid wonld render a barrel of fluid as
acid as the strongest Vinegar, it is a
fraud npnn coin 'tierce, and a dangerous
sub-tttute for Vinegar."
