A Nabob at One End and a Tramp
at the Other.
There are few of the rich men of
this country who can go into the past
one, two, three and four or more hun
dred years and find a rich ancestry.
Ninety-nine per cent of the nabob
class, as Mr. Dill calls them, had poor
people for their ancestors, and many
indeed had an ancestry in that class
of people known as tramps. The
great distinguishing feature of the
civilization cf the Northern States is
that all the channels, or avenues to
business, religion, pleasure and office are
open alike to all, and that is the rea
son that so many poor people get rich
and are nabobs, as Mr. Dill says ;
ant that is the reason that Mr. Dill
is a candidate for a nabob office ; for,
certainly, by his own standard, any
office that pays a salary of ten thou
FQt dollars a year is a nabob office.
The would-be Governor has not stated
just which end he favors, whether
that of tlie .Yabob or that of the
Tramp-; but if his actions may be
taken as a standard to judge by, and
the common saying is that actions
speak louder than words, which, if
they do, he must be after seeking to
be a Jfa&ob, for how could a man be
in love with the Tramp end and seek
the .Vabob end with a ten thousand
dollar salary. It is not exactly the
fair thing to put in a bid for the
tramp fraterity, and the Commune, by
slapping the nabobs in the face, by
saying the Republicans made you
nabobs, and to the tramps 6ay the
Republicans made you- tramps- No,
that is not quite the fair thing, when
it is considered that Mr. Dill is the
son of a tramping preacher. But
with all its unfairness it would not
look so bad if he would not want to
get a 10,000 office. It looks very
much as if he has a desire to quit the
tramps and turn nabob. If it is true,
what he said, that the result of Re
publican policy " is a nabob at one end
of society, and a tramp at the other," he
is kicking the ladder by which he was
redeemed from a roaming life to a
permanent place of residence, with
the right to turn politician and ma
nipulate himself into the Stale Senate,
and from there form a combination
to manipulate his way into the office
of Governor of this Commonwealth.
It is true that the Republican party
maintained, and does still maintain,
that all men are born free under the law,
that every man shall have the right
to engage in whatever he may please
Under the law, and that there shall
be no barrier to honest advancement,
or to honest or dishonest decline.
Under the operations of such a sys
tem bank presidents, railroad presi
dents and rich men have been made,
and changed from poor people to
nabobs. Certainly Mr. Dill can
not escape the operations of his own
doctrine, and when it is applied to
the Dills it has operate-! most admir
ab!y unless it is a misfortune to be a
State Senator, and a Candidate for
Governor at a salary of ten thousand
dollars.
But a man who struggles to bo
Governor of a great Commonwealth
should be better read in the history
of hia country than to tell it to the
world that the Republican party is
the author of the system of gonrn
ment that gives to every man an op
portunity to do business, to preach,
practice law, acquire property, be a
tramp, or run for office. The man
who mafces such a charge Is an ignor
ant man, or a man with unfair mo
tives. Mr. Dill ought to know that
the system that he denounced was
the system of government that the
ruritan, the German and the Scotch
Irishman inaugurated by the Declara
tion of Independence in 1776. The
watch word of the Revolution was
that "all men are bora free and equal"
Mr. Dill did not get back far enough
" O I
He forgot to go
with his history.
back to the time when Ben Franklin !
tramped through the streets of Phil
adelphia with his bread in nis hands.
There were many nabobs then in the
rnuntry, which did not concern !
1 ranklin, just so that he had a cba&ce
with other people. Dili has never
had discernment enough to see the
n:ibob George Washington in coach
and-four, and Ben Franklin walking
the streets of Philadelphia as a tramp
looking for work, and eating his
bread as he wearily trudged along.
Dill is falling out with the wrong
people He is really fighting with
George Washington and Ben Frank
lin, and others of their day. He ought
to have lived when Franklin, Adams,
Jpfferson and Washington lived, for
they are the men who started the
system that Mr. Dill complains of.
What would they have thought of
Mr. Dill ' Tlw Republican party hd !
notL2 t do sl-s origin of the
. bysiem. waa nwrtou in mo invo
lution. Ail that the Republicans did
for it was to' prevent the Southern
men from crushing out that part' Of
the system that the Northern people
believed in ; and to prevent the South
from accomplishing its purpose it
cost the North thousands of precious
lives, and entailed a debt of millions
of dollars, and furnished the mate
rial for such demagogues as Mr. Dill
to criticise.
Whatever credit is due the Repub
lican party for putting in practical
operation, in all parts of the country,
the system " that all men are born
free and equal under the law," they
should have, but they did not origi
nate the system. It struggled up
through the past, and first found
recognition as a government princi
ple in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence in 1776. Mr. Dill should give
thai document a " keel-hauling." He
Ehould take for his text, " The result
of the Declaration of Independence
in 177G is a nabob at one end of so
ciety, and a tramp at the other."
Potter Committee Work.
Jame K. Anderson, supervisor of
Eaat Feliciana parish, Louisiana, dur
ing the Sate Presidential election, and
Secretary Sherman were btfore the
Potter Investigating Committee on Sat
urday. Anderson's parish is one of
th parishes in which the Republican
voters were so intimidated as not to vote,
and for that reason a large Tilden ma
jority was given When the time came
to sum Up the vote of the State, An
derson and others declared that intimi
dation caused the Republicans to re
main away, and therefore Tilden had a
majority. Under Louisiana laws, such
intimidation gave the Returning Board
the right to reject the vote of the par
ish. It was rejected, with others, and
the State declared for Hayes. Now
Anderson says that the tales of intimi
dation were maoc'-itured. and that no
intimidation of Republicans took place.
He tel!s that when the Democratic and
Republican committees cam down
there to examine into the trntn of the
situation, that the Democrats offered
him $1,000 if be would declare for
Tilden. lie tells on the other side
bat Secretary Sherman told him to
stand steadfast. Anderson said be
eould not do that and remain in Louisi
ana. Secretary Sherman then told him
tbat he could be provided for outside
of the State; and from tbat interview,
he alleges, be remained firmly for Hayes,
and finally obtained a letter from Sher
man promising tbat he should be taken
care of. The letter itself was not pro
duced, but be gave what be called a
copy of it to the committee. Sherman
was put on the stand, as to the letter.
He said he believed that be never wrote
the letter; he had no recollection of
writing such a letter.
There will be evidence on all these
points, and the country can afford to
cooly await it, in the consciousness that
those only who have been Wallowing in
the mire of crooked ways and false
swearing will be found out.
Mr. Potteb is no longer plain Mr.
Potter by name ; his title is Don
Pottero U. S. Mexican Congressman
from New York.
It is no uncommon thing for men
to talk away their chance, but no can
didate for the office of Governor
talked himself into defeat in so short
a time as Mr. DilL His nabob and
tramp speech forever destroyed what
ever chance he had for reaching the
office for which he was nominated.
His remarks are a bitter satire on
himself, for to a certain decree he
effects the style of the nabob, and
discards the ways of the tramp. The
people of this State cannot so far
forget themselves as to elect a man
Governor of this Commonwealth,
who declares that the result of North
ern civilization is a " Nabob at one
end of societv, and a Tramp at the
other."

A Eemarkable Platform.
From the Norristown Herald.
The Democratic platform construc
ted at Pittsburg is a wild and weird
piece of fiction. It will prove a for
midable rial to the average gas
metre as a skirmisher away from the
truth. Its charges against the Re
publican party are voluminous and
happily conceived, but they don't
cover the entire gronnd. It doesn't
charge the Republicans with having
stolen Charley Rosa, or accuse them
of causing the defeat of the Turks
in the recent war. It doesn't "unan
imously'' assert that the Republicans
are responsible for the big fire in
Chicago and the Chinese invasion of
California ; it forgot to declare that

The Soulk to Fact the Atoit Mo
mtntout Cruit Sinct 1861,
and lit Duly.
Wa8hisotos, May 28.
In lieu of personal answer to many
letters received from friends in the
South, disclaiming sympathy with
any effort to unseat President Hayes,
Postmaster General Key has written
the following open letter to the peo
ple of the South
Washington, May 23. The circum
stances attending the passage of the
Potter resolution to investigate the
alleged frauds in the Presidential
election of 1876 in the States of Lou
isiana and Florida, together with the
subsequent declarations of many in
fluential Democratic politicians and
journalists, evidence that if both
houses of the Forty-sixth Congress
are Democratic the majority intend
to oust President Hayes and inaugu
rate Mr. Tilden.
The title of President Hayes was
settled irrevocably by the Forty
fourth Congress in the act creating
the Electoral Commission, under
which he was legally declared elected
and legally inaugurated. The Forty
fifth Congress has no more right to
dispute his election than he has to
question the title of any victorious
contestant to his seat in that body.
The Forty-sixth Congress will have no
more right to ignore him and to recog
nize his defeated contestant, Mr. Til
den, than Mr. Hayes would have to
send a file of soldiers to the House
of Representatives to unseat a Dem
ocrat whom he might consider to .
ulently elected. The leaders in this !
desperate attempt to Mexicanize our
institutions rely confidently upon the
" solid South " to furnish the bulk of
the Democratic majority in the next
House of Representatives, the Senate
being already secured. Remember
ing the encouragement which the
Northern Democrats in I860 and 1861
extended to the Southern States to
secede, and the manner in which their
promises of aid and comfort were
fulfilled, can the Southern people af
ford to join this revolutionary move
ment with the certainty that when
the inevitable hour of peril comes
they will again be left unassisted and
alone to meet the storm from the
North, once more united by this at
tempt to revive an issue whose set
tlement was forced by public opinion
upon an unwilling Congress T In the
dark days of February, 1877, when
civil war over the disputed election
was imminent and patriots trembled
for the safety of the republican in
stitutions, the Southern members of
Congress averted the danger by com
pelling the completion of the elec
toral count under the law which par
ties in Congress had enacted. But
now the representatives from the
Southern States, with a very few ex
ceptions, have joined a movement to
subvert the results of their former
patriotic action and to remand the
country to that anarchy from which
less than two years ago it was saved
by their efforts. Grant that in per
mitting the autonomy of all the
States, and in appointing citizens to
olnce m the bouth instead of strang
ers, President Hayes but discharged
nis consiunuonai uutv, aoes that ex-
ense the Southern Representitives
for attempting to invalidate his title,
which they established, or will it jus
tify them in bringing the country
again m danger 01 civil war in the
effort to unseat him and inaugurate
Mr. I Hdcn T
FAcrxo a crvn, WAR.
The South must now face the most
momentous crisis in its history since
I6ti. 10 endorse the recent con
duct of their representatives is to
admit the truth of the charge that
the people of the South care nothing
lor the welfare of the Union, desire
the downfall of the republic, and
would rejoice to see it again involved
m civil war. If their representa
tives have not reflected their senti-
men is, as a ueueve to do tue case,
then the people of the Southern
States should take care tbat in the
Forty-sixth Congress they are repre
sented by men who will defeat the
disturbers of the public peace and pre
vent the Mexicanization of our insti
tntions. To do this they may be com
pelled to act independent of the Dem
ocratic party. Recent events have
demonstrated the inability of Demo
cratic members of Congress to resist
the mandates of the caucus and the
terrois of the party lash, the one
wielded and the other inspired by
men who Seem willing to endanger
the welfare of the country and the
stability of republican institutions
for the sake of revenge on political
opponents and in the hope of divid
ing the spoils of victory. If the
Democratic Representatives of the
South could not resist the caucus
command to pass the) Potter resolu
tion, unamended and without debate,
how will they be able in the Forty-
sixth Congress to resist a similar
command to ignore Mr. Hayes as
President and to recognize Mr. Til
dtni i
THK DtTT Or TUX SOUTH.
It is therefore the dtfty of the
Southern people to afford a crowning
evidence of their renewed devotion
to the Union,- in which they now en
joy every right of citizenship' end are
subjected to no restriction not laid
upon every citizen, by sending repre
sentatives to the Forty-sixth Con
gress pledged to resist at all hazards
the revolutionary schemes of the mischief-makers
who seem to have gained
control of the House of Representa
tives of the Forty-fifth Congress. To
this end the people in every district should
meet, publicly organize and resolve to
support no person for Congress who has
given aid to this movement, and will not
pledge himself to sustain the title of .
President Hayes curing the term for
which he was elected against all attempts
at its overthrow. Only in this way
can a grave danger to the Republic
be averted and convincing proof be
given- that the confidence was not
misplaced which President Hayes
manifested in the South when he
withdrew the troops from the State
Houses of South Carolina and Louisiana.-
I have spoken plainly and
earnestly, for I feel that I should be
unworthy to represent the South in
the administration were I to remain
silent now. Invited to the Cabinet
as a Southern man to see that justice
was done to the South required me
neither to apologize for my record
nor to disown my political principles ;
it is my duty now to warn the people
of the South of the danger which
threatens the country. No man need
hope that the schemes of the men
who have engineered the movement
to unseat President Hayes can be
carried without a bloody civil war.
To avert this danger I confidently
rely upon tue patriotism and honor
of the people of my native section.

Revolutionary Resolution Potter,
wro,e letter justifying bis course in
offering the resolutions to oust Hayes,
which nobody read except to be dis
gusted witb it sophistry and falsehood
Alexander Stephens answers that letter
and literally chews up " the afore
said Potter. Stephens concludes :
'I so look upon the whole of this pro
ceeding, concocted aa it was conducted
aa it has been, as most unwise, moat
unfortunate, and most mischievous.
My own oppinion is as I have repeat
edly said, this affair will prove in the
end either a contemptible farca or a
horrible tragedy Whether it will
lead to the Mexicsuizatioa of our Fed
eral Republic and the result must
show. But 1 say, as I said on anoth
er recent occasion, that all soft words
instilling in the minds of the people of
this country the idea that Mr. Hayes
cau be peacebly unseated by Congress
are' as delusive and as guileful as tbs

Mr. Thomas Martin, an old gentle

when the animal suddenly lowered his
head and made a furious charge upon
him. Mr Martin tried to escape, but
was not quick enough, for the enraged
beast reached him in a few bounds and
with one toss of its horns threw him to
the ground, one of the horns penetra
ting bis thigh, making a fearful gash
about five inches long. The animal
then stood over the unfortunate man
trying to rnn him through, but did not
succeed further than to make a wound
in his shoulder, where a small piece of
the bone was ebipped off, though a num
ber of severe bruises were inflicted by
its bead and hoof. Mr. Martin scream
ed loudly for aid and one of tbe wom
