Prcs’t \Voolsey on the Situation.

Pres. W’oolsey presided at a Republican
meeting at New Haven, on Wednesday eve-
ning last. It was the first time he ever
presided at a political meeting, and his first
political speech. We make the, following
extracts from the Tribune’s report :—

HAYES A MAN TO BE rausrnn

Now, gentlemen, need I be called .upon to
say anything of the men who are put forward
for the most solemn political responsibilities
which can be taken upon themselves by any
men in this world '3 I mean Mr. Hayes and
the candidate of the opposite party. Mr.
Hayes, in my opinion, is a man who has,
wherever he has been placed, played a noble
part. [Applause] He has never that I am
aware, put himself forward. He has never
engineered for an oflice. He has, so far as I
can understand from some friends in Ohio,
always been sought by a place. Rather than
seek a place, he was content to remain a
private man, and not looking for it as a su-
preme good to be placed in a seat of power.
Then he has played a noble part in his posi-
tion in the army. He has played a most
honorable and useful part in his position as a

gram: “on... State. ntflhin. and I ' myself

C
Mrglconfideut that if elected he will play a

noble and independent part in the Govern-
ment of the United States. [Applause].

TILDEN INSINCERE AND UNSAFE.

Now what shall I say of Mr. Tilden ? I
do not mean to say anything against him ex-
cept so far as one or two important points of
politics and policy are concerned, in which I
feel that I have a right to criticise any man
and any man has a right to criticise me. I
feel this—that Mr. Tilden has sought his

' office with a most uncommon anxiety.
[Laughter.] I do not remember any Presi-
dent who seems to have pprsued his object,
so far as I can understand his object, with a
greater assidnity,and I may say, with greater
ability and adroitness than he.

'I have also to say that I cannot myself,
and I presume you all or most of you will
agree with me; that I cannot feel that he is
quite the safest man to be chosen at this time
on account of his opinions in regard to the
nature of the Union. Gentlemen, we have
come to the conclusion that this is not a sim-
ple league, but is a nation,- and we have come
to a conclusion which Gen. Jackson establish-
ed when he was President of the United
States, and which then a large part of both
parties adhered to. But as I understand it,
Mr. Tilden is a little shaky in this particular;
and as long as there are dangers from oppo-
site opinion, I want to see a man in office
who shall be able, with a firm conviction of
judgment and conscience, to put down, as
Gen. Jackson was prepared to do, anything
that may look like, rebellion against the
United States.

There is another point in regard to Mr.
Tilden, and that is, I did not quite like his
position in regard to the repeal. of the re-
sumption act ; that is to say, the repeal of
the act in which the date 1879 is mentioned.
Now it might be' that he said this is nothing
but a sham. Well, isn't it something to give

‘ the promise of the United States ? The
British Parliament, unless I am very much
mistaken, voted five years beforehand in a
similar way that in accrtain year the resump-
tion of specie payments should take place
in Great Britain. When I look at the appa-
rent motive and effect of the action of Mr.
Tilden, I feel that it was intended as a plaster
to unite the two parts of the- democratic
party. Those who wanted specie payment
and those who did not want it ; and that in
this way it was .not an entirely sincere and
upright strategem. In respect to Mr. Til-
den's character, not a word will I utter now.

\‘lTAL'IMPORTANGE OF SPEOIE PAYMENTS.

Gentlemen, there are points of very much
higher importance than this ; 'and what are
those points? You will all agree with me
that there are three, though I hardly need
but glance at them because they are familiar
to you, and because other gentlemen who
succeed me will expound them much better
than I can. First of all is what I just refer-
red to—the rcsumptionof specie payments.
Now I firmly believe, with all the light thatI
can get from a science which I taught five
and twenty years—political economy—J firm-
ly believe that it is all important now, both
for the moral interest and for the financial
interest of the country. The country is
going through a slow fever, and, if we should
go backward and attempt to cure ourselves
by inflation, there would be another misery
within a few years to to be passed through;
Upon this point all men of all parties, at least
in our own part of the country, agree.

But I ask now, can the democratic party
be trusted absolutely to carry through meas-
ures which will issue speedily in the resump-
tion of specie payments in a good sound,
honest currency ? Can they be trusted ?
What is the motive in the present House of
Representatives in passing an act endeavor-
iiig to repeal the date clause of the Resump-
tion act ? Was it because they thought that
this was an imposition on the community,
on the United States and its people ; or did
they want to have free scope given for infla-
tion ? I say which of these was their desire?
Let those gentlemen, those few most honora—
blc democrats who voted againt it, let them
reply, and I think they would tell you that
a large part of their colleagues were againt
specie payments. '

xor sum TO LET run scorn RULE.

And now I come to a very delicate point,
and that is one which was thought of at the
beginning of the canvass-the condition of
the South. The question forces itself upon
my mind, as I presume it has been thought of
by many of you. In the present attitude
and feelings of the South, is it wise or salu-
tary or safe to commend the interest of this
country to a party in which they largely pre-
dominate ? Is this wise or salutary or safe ?
Now I have no malignity against the South-
ern citizens. I am sorry to have to say that
our Government there has managed the offices
" “m. Southren States with most lamentable

folly. in ""“f 1" are in the midst of a
movement amounting in so... instances al—
most to frenzy; when the South»... people
are exercising great calculation to bring the
sceptre back to that territory, is it safe P I
have no objection to their having offices and
having their share of power; but I say at
present, as this country is situated, before the
war has done its work, and while we have
immense obligations laid on us of all kinds
still unfinished as to the race redeemed from
bondage, is it safe to give the country into
their hands ?
m—

A prominent democrat in conversation with
a Repubhcan yesterday made some admis-
sions about Indiana, that were evidently not
intended for publication, but they were made
without exacting a pledge of secrecy and
have gained a limited circulation. This dem-
oerat said he considered the Indiana victory
an empty one, in view of the fact that the
democrats at their last election in Indiana had
a majority of seventeen thousand and secur-
ed the legislature. They had spent a quarter
of a million of dollars in the state, and ex—
pended all their energy, and the result was
only the election of a governor with whom
the party were generally disappointed; they
had lost the legislature, and had, with Ohio,
seen the republicans gain so many Congress-
men that their majority in the House of Rep-
resentatives was threatened. Unless they
him do bettetiilu; ttlllle fNorthern states it was

s opinion a e ewer of ' ' '
they had the better. such Victories

“Fidelity in all things; do your best for

 

your employers; carefulness about yOur ‘

associates.” Let every boy take these le
home and study them well. They aressgli:
foundation stones of character and honorable
success.

. From the N. Y. Tribune.
What a. “Solid South” and the
Election of Tilden Really Means.

 

Remember 1861. “The democratic party
will never rebel ; threats of disunion at the
South come only from a few irresponsible
persons," democratic speakers had said only
a year befcre. So they say now, “The dem.
ocratic party will never pay Southern war
claims. Only a few reckless men propose it
to please the mob ; only ignorant men imgaine
that ’t is possible. The democratic party
would never permit such a thing.” Yes ! A
democratic President would resist just as
Buchanan resisted secession ! Governor Til-
den is a sagacious man. He knows that
these Southern demands are injuring his
party. Visit that section and talk
with the Southren people. The
feeling is universally that democratic victory
will mean payment of Southern claims. As
nearly all active and influential men are
claimants, a solid south is easy. In this de-
mand the South is incompitrably more united
than it was in secession in 1861. Then several
states were hurried into the movement only
by force or fraud. But now the men of
property, of action, and of influence in every
district in the South where battles were
fought, or Union armies marched or encamp-
ed, or Union raiders penetrated,have a direct
personal interest in the demand that their
losses in the war, like those of loyal citizens,
shall be paid by the Union. If any man sup
poses that these people are not in dead earnest,
lie is terribly mistaken. as those were W110
dreamed of peace in 1861.

The election of a democratic President

would mean a democratic House. But the
large majority, probably more than two-thirds
of the democratic members, would be from
the South. Mr. Riddle of Tennessee will
call up his little bill, now pending, which
provides for the payment of all persons who
may prove their losses before a jury of the
vicinage, or establish them to the satisfaction
of the Secretary of War. A jury in any
neighborhood must be largely composed of
persons who have other claims of their own
to establish. A Secretary of War, if select—
ed by a President owing nearly all his elec-
toral votes to- a solid South, will not be like-
ly to scrutinize too closely the demands of
that section. Mr; Riddle’s bill will be ad
vocated thus :——“We at the South have lost
and suffered terribly, while you have grown
rich and powerful. Northern States have
been repaid their losses, and loyal men. But
are not the States equal now ? Are we not
all loyal now ? Is it not fair to pay us also?”
Half of the members from the South will
applaud, having claims of their own. The
other half dare not oppose, because all their
active and influential constituents have
claims. If northern democrats object, a
democratic caucus will be called. In. that
caucz'u, the Southern members form a ma-
jority, and the bill will be declared d'party
measure. How many democrats from the
North will then dare to make enemies in
every Southern State, implacable enemies in
that section which always controls the dem-
ocratic party, by rebelling against the deals-
ion of caucus ?
The Senate, many hope, would prevent the
passage of such a bill. We recently showed
that the Republican majority. in that body
would be small ; at least four members of
that majority, enough to turn the scale, will
be from the South ; and in one section or the
other more than four can be found who are
capable of being corrupted by a share in an
enormous job. When the bill has passed
both houses, will a democratic President dare
to veto it ? Where is the man who will
dare, in such a matter, to affront the over-
whelming desire of his party ?
are human, and have ambitions. A demo-
cratic House would have immense power to
tie the hands of a recalcitmnt democratic
president. The man who will dare to com-
mence such a struggle is not the ‘man to get
a democratic nomination in these degenerate
days.

The bill becomes a law. How much money
does it involve ? Estimates range all the way
from $500,000,000 to $3,000,000,000. Our
Washington correspondent reports that, upon
the best information there attainable, it is be-
lieved that these claims exceed $2,400,-
000,000, and the amount does not seem
too large in view of the fact that during four
yearsavery large proportion of the South
was exposed to loss from the movement of
armies, and tried in vain to get its surplus
products through the Union blockade. It is
not unlikely that the property destroyed in
the progress of the war exceeded that sum,
but the actual value would by no means limit
the claims “established" to the satisfaction
of jurors having other claims equally elastic.
In brief; THE rams.“ or THESE cums
means A DOUBLiNG or run rcnmo DEBT.
Nor can any man give good reason for the
hope that the payment of them would not
be ordered if the democratic party, controll-
ed by a solid South, should gain the power.

The South is not anxious about the magni-
tude of the debt. Ever since the war it has
beenafavorite idea with Southern men to
make the debt so great that no one could ex-
pect it ever to be paid. To “get their share"
first, and then repudiate the whole, would be
a fine revenge for those who were beaten in
the war, Is it in accordance with human
nature to suppose that Southern leaders would
protect the credit of the Union against their
own interests, against the passionate demands
of their followers, and in spite of smoulder-
ing resentments which even the best of them
often betray ? If tbs nation is so reckless as
to take the risk, it will learn in due time the
meaning of a solid South.

 

 

HENRY WARD Buscuslz ox 'rns Cnnis-
Tim‘s POLITICAL Dorm—Next to the duty
the Christian owes to his Father in Heaven,
he said, is that which he oweslto his father-
land. Into the great political struggle which
it is the fortune of this country to undergo
every four years, it is the duty of every
Christian citizen to enter. The man who
thinks political action and work inconsistent
with Christianity, and therefor to be shunned,
is in error. God does not thank him for such
a shrinking of his duty. But after the

 

Christian has entered the contest he should
11012 allow his feelings to outrun his self—
control. He should notbe swept from his
Christian bearings ; his sensibility should not
be drugged; he should keep his individual
conscience and personality. “I do not say,"
continued Mr. Beecher, “that you must pay
more and canvass less; that you must read
your Bibles more and newspapers less (though
1 think that would do no harm); but I do say
that there stands your political duty before
your face, and it is yours to do. God always
takes care of the man, no matter who he is,
who takes up and performs the duty that
comes in his way, without regard to its
cleanliness or propriety. The first hour of
morning is the time to prepare for the day’s
work. It then you go to prayer ; if at time
you bathe upward, you will come down
cleansed again and strengthened for the con-
test. A man who engages in the sharpest of
theseconflicts, and yet is not swept off his
bearings, ripens much faster than he who
stands on one side because they are unchris-
tian. It is in the battle of life that we be-
come veterans. If intelligent and virtuous
men don’t take care of the country, ignorant
and viciousmen will. Political work will
be done in some way. The fact is, it is the
work of Christians."

 

General Toombs, who is shouting himself
hoarse for Tilden and Hendricks, also says
“I hate the Government of the United States,

 

and would give up my 'to ‘vuthrow it.

How Tilden Loved the Soldiers.

 

IIOW HE TREATED THE CORPSE 0F llIS NEP-
IIEW, WIIO HAPPENED TO BE A UNION
SOLDIER AND WAS KILLED IN BATTLE.

 

Captain Edward Miller, of Elkland, Penn-
sylvania, has published a statement of an in-
cident showing Tildeu’s meanness, as well as
disloyalty, in alight as bad as the showing
made‘by the statement of the Rev. E. W.
Flower of Detroit. This statement refers to
Tilden’s conduct late in the year 186°—-a

year when Tilden was rich—the year when.

he first cheated the government as to his in-
come tax, but in which year, even according
to his own statement, his income was large
enough so that he had no excuse for the
meanness here related. Capt aih Miller’s
statement is as follows :———

Oliver S. Tilden was the nephew of Sam-
uel J. Tilden. He was mustered into the
service on the 13th of June, 1861, as captain
(.f company E, thirty-eighth regiment, New
York volunteers. Samuel _J. Tilden opposed
his going into the war and used every effort
to prevent him. Failing in doing this, he
insuredhis life for $1,000, to be paid to his
family, which consisted of a wife and two
children.

My name isEdward Miller ; I enlisted at
the same time that Captain Tilden did, and
mustered in as a private ; was promoted
to first lieutenant of company B, thirty-eighth
New York volunteers.

At the battle of Williamsburg I lost my
arm. After recovering from my wound I
was put upon recruiting service in New
York city.

Oliver S. Tilden was killed at Chantilly,»

September 1st, 1862. At the request of his
wife his body was disinterred, embalmed
and sent by express to me. The cost of this
was $120. The officers of his regiment
raised eighty dollars and sent the body to me,
writing at the same time that his uncle,
Samuel J. Tilden would pay the remainder.
After the body came I went to Tilden and
told him the circumstances. He was very
indignant, said that he had done all that he
intended to for Oliver, that he went to the
war against his wishes, and that he would
not be liable for any expenses. I told him
that Mrs. Tilden had asked for the body,
and that it was in response to that request
that the officers had forwarded it. Mr.
Tilden said that he did not care, that he was
not responsible for that. I then asked him
if he wished me to pay the forty dollars.
He replied that I might do as I chose about
it. I paid the money out of my own pocket,
not wishing to call upon the widow of Cap-
tain Tilden for it, who only had the $1,000
for her support. The money has never been
paid to me. EDWARD MILLER. .

The Laporte Press and Standard indorses
Captain Miller as “a well-known gentleman
from the west of our county, a good soldier
during the war, a man of recognized integri-
ty and one who would not. stoop to furnish
false intelligence ;” and declares that it fully
believes Captain Miller, as all who know him
do. Soldiers of the Union are not alone in-
terested in this new revelation of Tilden’s
character ; but all decent and generous citi-
zens are interested. It shows Tilden not
only as hating Union soldiers, and bitterly
opposed tothe war for the Union, but as a
mean, sordid, and stingy old miser.

 

From one of Hox. O. H. PLa'rT’s recent
speeches in this State we copy the following
condensed extracts :—[Ens. Gazsrrn.

You have heard the story of Turkish atroci-
ties—that in the‘far east women have been
outraged and murdered for their religion,
and for opinion’s sake. Humanity has stood
aghast and all men have been united in call-
ing upon the great powers of Europe for the
sake of a common brotherhood to put‘ an end
to such horrors—and England rocks to day
to its fountain because of the feeling that
she has failed to protect human life .in the
far east. But right here, upon the soil of

South Carolina, under the nation's flag, this

night, men are being murdered for their poli-
tics and for opinion’s sake, and Samuel J.
Tilden and his party uphold it, and rejoice
in prospect that such atrocities will give
him the vote of a solid south.

But it means still more. It means now
what was meant in 1861, and the ‘people of
the north have not forgotten those days.
They have looked into the eyes of the solid
south before. You remember Sumter and
the rebel batteries belching their fire upon
its defenders, till the flag came down ; 'then
the uprising of a solid north-(solid, except
a few such men as Tilden and Hendricks and
Eaton)—the call for troops, the volunteering,
the parting from wife and child,partings that
knew no meeting, the camp, the marching
in summer heat, the touting in winter cold,
the picket line, the skirmish, the rush, the
roar, the carnage of battle, the hospital, the
prison pen, the nameless grave, or the funer-
al procession at home, the weeds of mourn-
ing, the decoration days, when we spread,
flowers on the graves of the fallen ; all this
and mm the solid south means. Are we
waiting for another Sumter, or are we to be
warned by the past, warned in time to put
down this new rebellion at the ballot box.

Do you tell me still you will vote for Til-
den and a solid south? Stop, I entreat you
—let me make this last appeal. When you
come here in this hall to deposit that vote ;
when you would thus desert your country
and its history, your state and its memories,
your interests, your principles, your faith,
pause as you pass the granite shaft which
stands outside this hall, reared by a grateful
and reverent community in memory of its
brave citizens who fell facing a solid south

in arms. Pause,

" And passing take with forehead bare,
The benediction of the air.”

Listen to the voice of rebuke from the
granite lips of the one who stands upon ’that
shaft to guard, so long as granite lasts, the
reputation of the dead.

Look! Read the roll of honor on those
bronze tablets—Eaton and Merriam and
Bassett and Augur and Johnson and a host
of brave men whose names are written 'with
theirs, men of whom the world was not
worthy, and whose memory is fresh forever
in the hearts of this people.

Think—think where they fell—fell fight-
ing for us, fighting for you, and their last
look was a joyous look at the flag of an un-
divided nation. and their last prayer was the
earnest prayer that a solid south might never
prevail against it, and then the sad pines
walled their requiem over the bravest, the
purest, the best. '

Look! See them as they lie languishing
through days of pain and nights of wasting
agony in the hospitals made possible only by
a solid south. '

Hark! Hear their last despairing cry as
theyistarve and die beneath the blazing sun
of Andersonville, while a solid south looks
on and Clasps its hands in devlish glee.

ook at all this, bear all this, think of all

, then come to this hall, to the ballot-
box, and vote for Tilden and a solid south if
you can. God help you.

Republicans of Meriden—dcmocrats—men-

—I call upon you to rise in your power,
break down party lines, break away from
party ties, forget party prejudices, save
Meriden from the infamy' of having voted
for Tilden and a solid south.

 

The jury in the Litchfleld county Supreme
court were discharged b the judge, the other
day, for improper con net. As they were
about to render a verdict in an important
case, one of the attorneys complained that
they had while deliberating, sent for and read
a letter which an attorney for the defendant
had read in court, but which was not admit-

ted as evidence.

 

Golden Wedding.

 

Masses. Romans:—

It may be interesting to many of your
readers to kn omething of the pleasant
ceremonies at e home of Mr. and Mrs.
George Mather, of Danish, who, by the
blessing of our Heavenly Father, were per-
mitted to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary
of tlieirwedding, this 23d day of October,
1376. Very few couples have been permit-
ted to celebrate such an event, under circum-
stances more auspicious and gratifying.
Rev. R. C. Bell, Pastor of the Congregational
church, (of which Mr. Mather is one of the
Deacons) was present on this occasion, and
after an appropriate prayer, presenting in
substance the following facts, in the family
history :

Both Mr. and Mrs. Mather, have dccended
from a‘long—livbd ancestry; the father and
grandfather-of theformcr, having attained
the respective ages of 86 and 87 years ;
while his great-grandfather, the Rev. Dr.
Mather, who tilso lived 87 years, was the
pastor, of the Congregational church, at
Darien, for 62 years. Mr. Mather’s mother,
now living at the advanced age of 95, and in
good possession of her faculties, was present
on the occasion. .

Mrs. Mather‘s father, Mr. Josiah Whitney,
reached the age of 86 years; and her grand-
father saw his Centennial birthday.

This worthy couple have had seven chil-
dren ; all of whom are now living, and were
Present With flwir partners and children.
making the family circle complete. ’

All the children, with their companions are
professors of religion ; and are healthy,
temperate, and correct in their habits.

The address was followed by an original
poem, by one of the daughters, Mrs. Z. Ridi-
ards, of Washington, D. C., which was read
by Mrs. C. M. Mather, of. New York, city.

THE GOLDEN W'EDDING.

 

BY MRS. Z. RICHARDS.

 

Oli ! distant goal of a wedded life,

Midway on the century’s track 1

How many the youthful twain, made one.
In the dreams of their journey just begun,
See thy goldden gleam near tint" setting sun!
But how few, from time look back;

Yet the Heavens smile on a pair to-day

Who stand at this golden gate ;

And looking back on fifty years

Sun-lit by joy, and shaded by tears,
Brimming with hope, and ebbing with fears,
They can only stand and wait.

For the Father’s hand, so clearly seen
Guiding His children through,

Keeping their feet from the treacherous snare
That lurked unseen, unocr flowerets fair,
Breathing His health on the poisonous air
That from pestilent deserts blew,

That they fain would trust llis loving care
For the coming years that are few.

Children, and children's children too,

Have gathered about their way ;

And the Shepherd who keepeth-all his sheep,
Or searcheth them out in the cavern deep;
0r, afar on some dizzy mountain steep,

Has suffered them—not to stray ,
Like the prodigal child,from his father’s house
To the desert far away.

Death, with his swift and shadowy wing
Has passed the circle by ;

And they mtu'n today no vacant chair,
No voice whose echo haunts the air,

No cherished form in the grave-yard Where
The silent sleepers lie.

God’s gifts lie scattered all around

This twain of fifty years ;

Peace and pleanty, and length of days,
Friends through the darkest of earth’s dark
ways, '

And a sun-set of life, in whose luminous haze
The dawn of Heaven appears.

We give you joy of this wedding day,
Oh ! Father and Mother dear;

And clasping each, the other's hand
In one unbroken household band

We pledge to meet in a better land
When we have parted here.

After the reading, several valuable testi-
monials of the affection and respect of chil-
dren god friends were presented; among
which, was a handsome gold-headed cane,
made from the wood of “Independence
Hall."

Congratulations, good wishes and a boun-
tiful collation, in which all participated
equally and cheerfully, brought to a. close an
occasion rare in its occurrence, and marking
the special care and blessing of our kind
Heavenly Father. A “TITNEBS.

 

A Visit to Bethany.

We went over the hill to Bethany ; we
had climbed up by the path on which David
fled from Absalom, and we were to return by
the road of the Triumphal Entry. All along

’ the ridge we enjoyed a magnificent panorama;

a blue piece of the Dead Sea, the Jordan
plain extending far up towards Hebron‘ with
the green ribbon of the river winding through
it, and the long, even range of the Moab
hills, blue in the distance. The prospect was
almost Swiss in its character, but it is a mass
of bare hills, with scarcely a tree except in
the immediate foreground, and so naked and
desolate as to make the heart ache ; it would
be entirely desolate but for the deep blue of
the sky and an atmosphere that bathes all the
great sweeps of peaks and plains in color.

Bethany is a squalid hamlet clinging to the
rocky. hill side. with only one redeeming fea-
ture about it—the prospect. A few wretch-
ed one-story huts of stone, and a miserable
handful of Moslems, occupy this favorite
home and resting-place of our Lord. Close
at hand, by the road-side, cut in the rock and
reached by a steep desceift of twenty-six
steps, is the damp and doubtful tomb of
Lazarus,down into which any one may go for
half a franc paid to the Moslem guardian.
The house of Mary and Martha is exhibited
among the big rocks and fragments of walls ;
upon older foundations loose walls are laid,
rudely and recently patched up with stones
in fragments, and pieces of Roman columns.
The house of Simon the leper, overlooking
the whole, is a mere heap of ruins. It does
not matter however, that all these dwellings
are modern, this is Bethany, and when we
get away from its present wretcliedness 'we
remember only that we have seen, the very
place that Christ loved.

We returned along the highway of the Eu.
try slowly,‘pausing to identify the points of
that memorable progress; up to the crest
where Jerusalem broke upon the sight of the
Lord, and whence the procession, coming
round the curve of the bill, would have the
full view of the city. 4 He who rides to-day
has a grand prospect. One finds Jerusalem
most poetic when seen from Olivet, and Oli.
vet most lovely when seen from the distance

[From the Cincinnati Commercial.]
The Danger of a United South.

 

Another danger looms behind that of turn-
ing over the national administration, both in
its legislative and executive departments, to
the control of the Democratic party, in
league with a united South. That danger is
that this party, if it succeeds to power, may
have in its control during the next four years
such a reconstruction'of the Supreme Court
of the States as will make that judicial tri-
bunal of last resort the mouthpiece; of the
Democratic party to decide .all questions in
the interest of the late rebels 'of the South.
The question of securing the enfranchised
colored race in the rights of citizenship, the
question of permanent prohibition of the

payment of any debt incurred in behalf of-

the rebellion, and the question of prohibiting
forever any compensation for the emancipa-
ted slaves, all hang upon the sound andhon-

est construction by the Supreme Court of the ~

valid adoption of these constitutional amend-
ments. A very large and influential section
of the Democratic party .hold that these
amendments are invalidj faith) because
not ratified by what they hold to have been
the requisite constitutional majority of

States. If these dangerous doctrines should.

prevail, unsettling questions supposed by the
people of the ecuntry to have been permanent-
ly settled on principles -of.- jilstioe and fair-
ness, all the political battlesof. the last ten
years may have to to be fought over again.
There is no doubt which ‘slde gofuldtriumph
in the contest. The side’ 2". the rights of
man, the side of justice andvfreedom to every
soul that lives beneath thebanner of the re-
public, would again be sure of victory. But
the costliness of such a struggle; the throw.
ing of the whole country “limo agitation and
strife ; the postponing fat years of the com-
mercial and material we re of the people
by an embittered politi‘sg struggle—would

 

- all be chargeable to the Democratic victory

of 1876. That party of, retrogression, as
destitute of living principles as “the united
South" is of actual grievances, would un-
questionably renew its disgraceful career of
subserviency to the South in all the legisla-
tion of the country ; adding to it a degree of
public profligacy and a carnival of jobs such
as the country has nevertyet seen. . ~

 

 

The Stamford HeroldrIndependent with
dem. leaning—in a double-leaded leader
upon “False Issues of the Campaign," evi-
dently written by a dem. politician, alludes
‘,‘0ne is
that in case Samuel J. Tilden is elected our
national debt will bclrcpudiated ; and conse-
quently the people who hold the promises of
the Government to pay will be losers. The
other is that the rebel war debt will be paid ;
in other words that the expense incurred in
rebelling against the Government, by those
who rebelled, will have to be paid in great
part by those who sustained that Govern-
ment.” The writer then takes the, trouble
to quote the Constitution to show that the
validity of the public debt will not be ques-
tioned, and that the Government shall not
pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of
insurrection or rebellion etc., or claim for
loss, or emancipation of any slave. The

editor is unnecessarily alarmed, and has miss

taken the character of the scare-crows. Re-
publicans make no such claims. Tilden
might be willing and mean enough to repu-
diate, but would not have the courage to do
so even if he haddhe power, which he would
not have. The Republicans have iiihidy
fixed that. Nobody claims that the “rebel
war debt,'_’,or “debts incurred in rebelling
agaiiiSt the Government,” 'or claims for slaves,-
will be paid in case the democracy are suc-
cessful. ' The Republicans, as shown by the
quotation above, have also fixed that. But
there is nothing to prevent .the passage of
bills to pay the claims of individuals for
“occupation of property." “damages" of all
kinds sustained during the war, etc., and
already claims of this kind are filed against
the Government to an enormous amount,
and the greater the number of such claims
that are paid, the greater will be the number
sworn to. If such claims are to be allowed,—
and a “solid south” administration would
certainly allow such,—-the country will be
bankrupt. Every man South will have a
claim, and, if necessary, every man South
will be certified to as having been loyal du
ing the war. Tilden might not favor the
payment of such claims, but if he should be
elected by the “Solid South” he would be
compelled to assent to many things against
the dictates of _his own, judgment. But
why'allow of any doubt? Elect Hayes &
Wheeler and the South and the whole coun-
try will be sure of equal and exact justice to
all.

 

Sacredness of a Promise.

 

An eminent British statesman is said to
have traced his own sense of the sacredness
of a promise to a curious lesson he got from
his father when a boy. When home for the
holidays, and walking with his father in the
garden, his father pointed to a wall which he
intended to have pulled down.

“Oh,” said the boy, “I should so like to see
a wall pulled down."

“ Well, my boy, you shall," said his father.

The thing, however, escaped his memory,
and during the boy’s absence 9. number of
improvements were being made, among oth-
ers the pulling down of this wall and the
building of a new one in its place.

When the boy came home and saw it, he
said : '

“ O father, you promised to let me. see that
wall pulled down.“ .

Instantly the father remembered ms prom-
ise, and was deeply pained to think that he
had seemed careless of his plighted word.

“My bay,” he said, “ you are right. I did

duomise, and I ought not to have forgotten.

is too late now to do just what I said I
would, but you wanted to see a wall pulled
down, and so you shall."

And he actually, ordered the masons up
and made them pull down and rebuild the
new wall that was nearly as possible his
promise might be made good. '

“ It cost me twenty pounds,” he said to a
friend who was bantering him about it, “but,”
he added solemnly, “if it had cost me a bun-
dred, I should have thought it a cheap wayof
impessing upon my boy’s mind, as long as he
lives, the importance 9. man of honor should
attach to his plightcd w‘oid."

 

I am of the opinion that the solid front
which the South now presents will produce a
decided reaction in the North ; in other words
the attempt to solidify the Southern political
forces is going to make a solid North. I think-
too, that the good faith of the Southern ,peo,
ple will always be suspected while they re-
main in alliance with the Northern democra-
cy. Now, on the other hand, if these people
would ' come out and vote for Hayes and
Wheeler—not for the reason that theyare Re-
publicans, but because they. are the represent-

ative candidates of the masses of the North, .

their action would be the very best pledge
they could give of their loyalty to a restored
Union. Such action on their part would eli-
minate the 'war feeling from politics, and
bring aboutareorganization of parties on new
issues. There are many men in the South,
of sound conservative and national sentiments;
who are to-day arrayed against the democrat-
ic party and in hearty sympathy with the
election of Hayes—Colonel John S. Mosby.

 

Send your little child to bed happy. What.
ever cares press, give it a warm good-night
kiss, as it goes to its pillow. The memory
of this in the stormy years which fate may
have in store for the little one, will be like
Bethlelieri’s star to the bewildered shepherds.
“My father, my mother loved me 1” Lips
parched with the world’s fever will become

11. 1:. S'ruvuxs, Esq.: .

Dear Sir—W hen about six months old I was yac-
ciuated. The parties who were vaccinated from
the same virus died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such an extent thatI was rolled
in bran to prevent me from scratching my person.
The disease finally settled in my head. I remained
in this condition about twenty years, troubled all
u... timn with sores breaking in my head and dis-
chargmg corruption from my ear. At this time a
small kernel appeared on my neck, gradually in-
creasing in ‘size until a tumor formed of‘ such im-
mense size I could see it by turning my eyes down-
ward. All this time I was taking various remedies
for my blood without any substantial benefit.

I then went to a prominent physician in Boston,
who, durin his treatment of Six months. lanced
the tumor eight times, which cost me nearly 8400.
This left me with a rough,aggratvuted sore,\vithout
at all diminishin the size of the tumor, and in a
sickly,fceble con ition. I consulted anutherphy-
sician in Natiek, who, aftercousi-lcrablc tune, suc-
ceeded in healing the sore without reducing the
him. At this point I commenced to use V EOE-
TlNE, through t c earnest uersuasmu of a friend.
After I had taken this medicine about one week
I experienced wonderful sensations. My whole
bod seemed to be undergoing a radical change,
until the tumor broke anrl discharged frightful
quantities. From this time it decreased in sine
Mum the bunch disappeared, but my neck still

bears the ugly scars of the sore and lance. I am

ow healthy and strong uml able to work every
da . . .
Iywill also mention that I have been an acute
summer from inflammatory rheumatism ever since
I can remember, until commencing the use of VEG-
ETINE. when almost immediately all rheumatic
pains ceased. This statement I_volunteer for the
purpose ofbeneflting other suffering hmnamty,and
you will confer a favor by gwing it as much pub-
licity as thought proper” \ cry gratefully,
