It is stated that the South Carolina census returns, as returned by tho enumerators, show a gun of 184,14?, or more than thirty-fiv- e per centum since 1870. The Republi- cans are preparing to maintain that these re- turns are fraudulent. The county of Ker- shaw is returned a having increased eighty per cent in ten jears.

Mr. Randall now narrates the story of h'i3 at the hands of a Southern mob at a political meeting. At u joint discussion to which he had been invit- ed, at a place called Shuhuda, Miss., the Democratic speaker was given the prece- dence, and during the course of his remarks (as Mr. Randal ccrtiflcs) he said "The Confederacy still exists, my friend, and Jeff Davis, the best friend we ever had, i3 yet our President and devoted to our in- terests, and if Hancock U elected, and we have no doubt he will be, jou will be paid for all the property yon have lost through Radical rule, and you must stand by the great Democratic party, for a solid South will now give us entire control of the general Government, and we will redrew all our wrongs."

He forgot that John Adams, our Vice President, in his inaugural address in 17bi, said, in identical words, that the was a "respectable situa- tion;" adding that he was "unaccustomed to refuse any public service, however dan- gerous to his reputation, or disproportionate to his talents." Thee words of Mr. Adams have been wonderfully comforting to me during my official term, particularly those declaring the a "respectable situation." My shrunken and attenuated liauie shows you how onerous have been my official duties, confined mainly to keeping the obstropererous Senators from Vermont in order in tho Senate ChamUT, Itu the has its trials. The great trial U iu attending church, my life- time habit, learned here in Xcw England. I ought to find consolation, but I go away, too often, witli my sDirtuahty greatly rolled. To hear the minister pray in turn for the President, his cabinet, both Houses of Con- - TTTtr'Erii"i.uiTJouit, Uw COcruora"uuil Legislatures of al! the States and every indi- vidual heathen fiom "Greenland's lev moun tains to India's coral strand," and to find mj&clf wholly h ft out, gives the man of sin the advantage ot the upper dog in the tight. On one of these occasions in Washington, when just this thing happened, as I passed out of church, my old friend, Shellabargcr, of Ohio, locking arms with me, said: "Wheeler, the minister was pretty hard upon you this morning." "Yes," said I, "when a man is rated below the untutored savage, who strolls in breech clout along where Afrlc's sunny fountains roll down their golden sands, and is past praying for, he is in a ttjrbt place." Hut I afterwards found consolation ; it came from your Senator Ed munds, who said to me,in learning my trial?, "you don't need the prayers and the other fellow s do, and that probably was the view the minister took of it." While I had a lin- gering fear that the congregation did not ac- cept this theory, I concluded to comfort my- self with it and have come to have absolute faith in it. From that time Mr. Edmunds has crown wonderfully in my estimation, and I regard him as eminent in psychology as in statesmanship. Ana 01 your illustrious Senator in passing I have to say, that with ability as towering as his native mountains and with character as pure as the breeze- which comes from them, n Nation proud of its imperial statesmen, will not permit Ver- mont alone to monopolize his reputation. The is a place of "Great Expectations," rarely, alaa, reati2?d. It is gelling late now for me to look for the oc- cupation of the mansion, coveted I fear by some, more than the heavenly iimiMon'I mean the White House. While 1 have wasted away like Tanner, ia my stancd the President, with all the cares of his great office, has actually increaaMl his avoirdupois, and there walks in all this broad land no sturdier specimen of phy- sical and intellectual manhood than ho. And ho is go'mg into retirement on the ith day of March next, with an eye undiuined in its lus- tre; which can look back upon nearly of happy, prosperous people, at eace at home and abroad, whom he has led out of the morass of shifting, uncertain values to the solid standard ground of the world; and whom he has lifted out of the depths of financial depression to the heights of universal prosperity. He cm look back upon a constitution successfully defended against every assault, open or covert; upon every prerogative of Ins great office jealously maintained; upon a National financial faith impregnable in its integrity and challenging the admiration of the world ; upon an ad- ministration untarnished by a single Main and unrivalled in the history ol the Government, for patriotism, good sense and official cleanli- ness. Like Duncan. President Hayes 4,lUtti tnjrue bid f&ruliiet ince., tiat't Iht:i S rltir lu liW treat offliv," that his fame a a wie, patriotic and suc- cessful ruler is forert r assured. And just where he drops the Government reins, they are to be taken up by another of like pa- triotic, sturdy mould. And let it not be forjeotte n that both of then men came out of New England loins. Here, Mr. Chairman, is where the per- formance of the side show naturally ends and wheie Gov. Smith said I must stop. Hut I cannot consent that the Governor n hall alto, gelher deacon off the tune I ting here. I want to add a few woidson my own uccount I know it is like carrying coals to Newcastle for a New Yorker to undertake to enlighten the of Vermont. They knot.-ful- l well what the coming Presidential (lec- tion imjiorts. Itisalwajs a mystery to me, how ou identify the Democratic party iu this State, for we outsiders never hear ot it except in u Presidential year. Asa liltlf humor is par- donable in the show, I will give 3 on my theory of identification : I Mippose it is by the application of tho Irish te&t. A sou of the Emerald isle had been sick a long time and while in that state would occasionally cease breathing and life 1m apparently ex- tinct for some time, when he would come to. On one of these occaMon. when he had just awakened from Ins long flcep, Patrick asked him : "And how 'I I we know Jemmy when you'ie dead? je're after waking up time." 'Bring me n ghew of grog, nti' say to me, 'here's till 3 011, Jemmy an' iT J don't rise an' drink, then bury me." I un- derstand tin re are nmv Democrats from nbioud traversing jour State, iain to their party friends "llcre'i till you, Junntj," and that the party is arousing ildf for cjuji dreniiitd drink, alter which it will teturnto its hibernating life. The Democratic party of Vermont must be as hopeful as the man whom Dean Swift's traveller met, who had fjecn engagetl for fortj' 3 ears in the woik oT crying; to extract sunbeams from cueuintier?. "Have you succeeded? said the traveller. "Not yet," replied the man, "but only grant tne a 3 ear or two more, and additional fund, and 1 have no doubt shall suc( eed." Give the Democratic party in Vermont plenty oF time, anil let it lake nil tho money credulini3 outsiders will invest in the footi-- h venture of catching the Green Mountain boys nap- ping. Itepublicaus of Vermont, this is the old conflict between the old parties, with this one variation Ihe Democratic parti has dressed up in blue elatca, borrowed for the occasion. Gen. Hancock, who hurled shot and shell at the Democratic party when it sought the life of the Nation 011 the fier- - heisrhts ot ucttyshura now leatis that rany in its assault upon tire ballot bov, through which it proposes to control the Government it could not destroy. And thU parly which in National conventional Chicago, a month after the turn of the tide at Gettysburg, de- nounced the war 03 a failure, and said it ouiiht to cease and which, during the war, made no concealment ot its joy at every disaster to the Union anna, now rends the air with its shouts for the man who aided in putting down their rcbeuion. Oh I could these shouts have followed the victory at Gettysburg, how grateful would they have been in the ears of our brave, wear- - armies. They would, as many a Southern man has told me, have ended that war nearly a year sooner. My friends, there is a great mistake in this business somewhere; and 3"ou, Yankees, who ere in tho habit of looking cloe, will find no difficulty ia dis-- cov ring the 01a uemocraiic cat under all thi? pretentious meal. C 1 forbid that I say aught in unjust g ion of the gallant soldier, now the nom- inee .f the Democratic patty, who, when the fou- - lationsof the Government were rocking in t 2 wild tempest of tbe rebellion, when war ploughed its channels deep in our live?, our homes and our hearts and hung its black ban:.er over thousands of our hearth-stone- uusoilcdwith the slaughter of our loved ones ; God forbid, I repeat, that I say aught in uniust derogation of tVo gallant soldier who followed the starry banner through that lone, weary struggle for the Nation's life and sealed his devotion to the Union of our fathers with the impress of his own blood. But as the stream cannot rise higher than its fountain, so no President ever did or ever can rise above his party. And the man who seeks its suffrages and accepts its positlonsof trust is bound by every conadera'ion to car- ry out its views and principles. The foun- tain of power in the Democratic party is in the 133 votes furnished by tLc solid South. As 138 is to 47, so is the controlling power in the Democratic party, as between the ortu anti me aoiiiu. in ail xour coroora- - tions, manufacturing and fimncial, a major- ity of the stock controls. Tint, in the event of success, the South will cortro! the Demo- cratic party absolutely, results 33 well ma- thematically as from its conduct lefore the war, when it dominated Ihe ttovemment in every department, as Mr. Stephens proved conclusively in his speech a! Milledireville. as a reason why Georgia had lolhing to gain 1,.. : ' i;..t.i: c ' the issue ha3 not changed. The question which confronts us is, What shall be the make-up- , character, political ud moral, and real purposes of the pirty which shall control the Government of this country for Ihe com ing four years ? Shall it be the Democratic parti, wliow citadel ol power is manned by thoe who barely fifteen years ago were clutching at the Nation's life, sa3'ing "One of us must die ;' the party ever hostile to free popular Government; bred in hatred of New England and the Unioo ; w Inch to the last the barbarism of slavery and which, down to this hour, protests against every act of the National Govern- ment in the bouih except the distribution of its largesses. Will you jcrmit this unregenerate South ern Democratic party yet tainted with the aristocratic caste of slavery. State rights and shameless repudiation ; yet smarting under the bitterness, hatreds and revenges growing out of their fruitless attempt to overthrow the Government, will ou permit tLis party to assume power in this country ? or do you still cling to the Kepubhcan party, which now as ever emblazons on its banner, "All men up' in the state of free dom, progress, education and equality be- fore the law ? I know well your answer. You will follow the banner borne by Girficld and Arthur re- splendent with such triumphs as were never inscribed on other earthly banner. I have known Gen. Garfield intimately for the last decade. In daily association with him for years, upon one of the leading committees of me iiouse 01 ueprcsentativcs nnd in the walks of private life, I know well the ins and outs of his character. His broad, man ly, generous, honest nature lifts him to a plane lar above the arts of the knave or the demagogue. Like Popes Maa of Ilo?. he 'Stntpqman. vet frienil tn tmtli nf tnni In action Idltuful and la honor clea: ' AVithout the early aids of wealth or sta tion, by the innate forces of his intellect and uiHuiuivwlwluM propelled himself to his present nin position, never losing his sym- pathy with the mawes of his countrymen in their struirslcs for the blessimrs which ihU ' good government of ours Loldsout to all who diligent- - and honestly seek them, and to this greathearted sympathy tic heart of ihU nation is now responding m full measure, and in November next, we will furnish General Garfield, the schol- ar, the soldier, and the statesman, with such a patent of nobility as none hut millions of kings acting in concert at the ballot box can conlcr. I know equally well Gen. Arthur. In fidelity to the principles of the Republi- can party and in action to maintain them he is the peer of any man in the p irty. In ex- ecutive ability he equals. Dilering with the President upon modesof administration, that high official never by implicit ion rrthcted upon hi3 personal integrity. Gen. Arthur is entitled to the hearty support of even Re- publican in the country, and I only wish the position which he is to occupy in the Govern- ment was more commensurate with his abil- ity and capacity for high usefulness. But.my fellow Republican, I weary ou. You have here a New Yorker, whoso fame transcends the limits of the great Empire State, who lias never been struck by the dry rot of the and who has locked horns with the Democratic paity on Southern Iiatlle field, and in many a hard fought politi- cal contest. Ami he is still ready lo gnrc that party any win re within the limits of the thirty-eig- States uf the Union upon the slightest provocation; 1 will 110 longer stay you from fuih viands.

What influence has the Democratic party in this State? It doesn't elected Senators 'or Representatives. The Democatic party which governs is made up of ihe old g party. Some of its members, of course, come from the North, but the Southern majority is so large that they absolutely control it. Of fort3'-tw- o Democratic Senators thirty are from the oltl States. They think and act together. The tell us frankly that they stand where they have always stood. Wade Hampton says they arc fielding for what Lee and is tone wail Jackson lougut. For the last 20 years every law touching our industries has been a Republican law. The Democrats pronounced at Cincinnati for tnat tarut only which would raise tne largest amount of money in other words their policy would favor the largest possible impor- tation of foreign goods. Were this policy to prevail our money would go abroad. The price of labor would fall. The bread would be taken from the month of the workingman and our money would go, not into the hands of foreign laborers, but solely into the coffers of rich capitalists and manufacturers abroad. How can a foreigner who came here to bet- ter his condition cast his fortunes with a party w ho favor such a policy ? We have come here to testify not only our Republi- canism but the liberty of opinion that Irishmen should think and act as they please. Senator Edmunds was frequcntlj inter- rupted b- - applause and ns he closed was warml cheered. The next speaker wi3 lion. A. L. Mor- rison of Chicago. JfDGE MOERISON'S ADDRESS. After a reference to the reluctance he felt to follow such a speaker as the one just heard, whom he eulogized as one of Ihe great leaders of public thought in the Nation, Judge Mor- rison slid the present struggle wa? not one of recent growth. It is the immemorial struggle of right against wrong. Which is the party of wronjr and of intolerance ? The Democratic party has opposed the right of petition against slavery. It has opposed education for education nnd its principles are antagonist ic. The speaker dissented from the saying that Irishmen are born into the Democratic party. The Liberator O'Con-nel- l, while seeking for funds to aid him in his great work, received a letter containing a remittance from Iouisiana. He said: "Lib erty is dear to the Irish people. We have given her o;ir all. We are now making a mighty cJIott and (Jod knows how much we need assistance.

Wherever ignorance is the densest that part is the strongest. Juduc Morrison then told, at some length, the story of General James ShieldsV life and the shabby treatment of that Representatives ; and instanced many other cases where that party nau ismoreei its insn members. He continued: The Republicans have nominated for the Presidency one ol the ablest statesmen la America. Gen.

He is a good soldier : he ought to be, cd flailed as he was as the ward of the nation and trained for a soldier at its expense. Ic is in the hands of the rebel democracy.

Such is an . , icct outline of Judge Morrison's address to which any abstract would do but scanty justice.

At the ch)3 of the address he wa3 given three rousing cheers, after which, at his sug- gestion, three cneers were given for our Na- tional candidates. Signatures for an Irish Republican club were then called for, and twenty-fiv- e ob- tained in few minutes a handsome nucleus for i strong and useful organization.

Miles was the leader in the Rank of Commerce job in New York city, and in the famous Philadelphia job, where, in company with Shinburn, he drove to the bank in a nice carriage with a pair of horses and a servant dressed in livery, in broad daylight on Sunday,whilc people were going to church, and opened the front doors of the bank. The two went inside, and Miles worked the combination and opened the bank vaults. There was $400,000 in the vaults, but the burglars were looking for a special deposit of 51,000,000, which the Pennsyl- vania Railroad was supposed to have made the day before. The money had not arrived, and the burglars cither overlooked the $400,-00- 0, or, as stated on good authority, left it, expecting to secure the larger amount. They did not dare make a second attempt in t, but "put up" a job with the bank watchman to "stand in" with them. At the last moment on the night of the robbery he "weakened" and 'gave them away." The police captured Dick Moore, alias 'Buf-falo Dick," and Rrown, alias McCoy. Both were convicted and sentenced to a term of years. Moore served his term, but McCoy fell heir to a large fortune, and through friends in Troy, N. Y., was pardoned, and is now living a "square" life. 3Iiles and Shinburn escaped. In the llungerford, N. YM job, Miles and Joe Howard, alias Kingsland. were both captur- ed and sentenced to ten years in Sing Sing. In this job they stole a noted race horse ami drove him till he dropped dead. While there. Miles made the acquaintance of Dr. Cramer, alias 'Long Doctor," who invented a rubier apparatus resembling a large decoy duck with n tule to breathe through. Miles adjusted this contrivance, and one day, while a gang of convicts weie working along Ihe dock, slipped into the river and drifted down the Hudson, past the guards, without notice. His pal, Howard, alias Kingsland, escaped through the connivance of the offi- cials, and was captured by Detectives "Wig-gi- n and Wood, for his connection with Miles in the Rarre, Vt., j !. Kingsland sent word to Sin.: Sing, the officials came to Lud jail, and, identifjing him, TOOK HIM BACK TO 6IXG SINO to serve hi3 eight and one-ha-lf yeara of un- expired term.

Our citj' furnishes manv examples of the beneficence of religion, r orty 3eiis ago a locality too well known as the "rive Points with u population of several thousands was the home of the vilest of the vile, and the re- sort of othcra equals debased. Men, wo- men and children of all nationalities and col ors herded together, .differing only in the degrees of crime and the depths of protligac habitually practiced. Their days were pass- ed In either idleness or dep relations. Their nights were spent in d.inee house debauch- eries. All healthy or wholesome inlluences wore excluded. Children grew up to be- come cither street beggirs or inmates of the almshouse and their parents filled peniten- tiaries and prisons. These orgies continued year after 3 ear, defiant an I aggressive, until that pandemonium was invaded by Chris- tian men and women who3c patience would not tire, whose courage was indomitable and whose devotion has been rewarded by a mor- al and religious reformation so complete that no part of our city is now more tniiet and ordei I3 than the once dreaded "Five Points." Thousands of chtldreu then growing up cither vagabonds or culprits arc now attend- ing schools, in which they are stimulated by precept and example to live industrious and virtuous lives. Instead, therefore, of send- ing forth idle, ignorant and vicious children to prc3 upon society, the destitute and or- phan children cf the "Five Poiuts," pre- pared for usefulness by moral and religious training, find happy homes in onr rapidl developing Western States and territories. Again, ei"ht years ago Water street and its sm rounding eastward from Peck lip had a notoriety almost as unenviable as that of the "Five Points." That region was rife with drunkenness burglaries, pugilism ami their h;ndred Jerr McAuley was conspicuous iu all that was wicked nnd demoralizing. He had the reputation of being a terror to tne precinct, a reputation which, by his own confession, was deserved. But this diturler of the public peac was converted, ami then he resolved to devote the remainder of his life to the service of his Master, ami, with a faithful, affectionate wife as a 1k1ht, he has Jdmndanili atoned for all his offtucTs.

By all "who went to scoff, but remained lo pray," Jerry McAuley and hii exemplary wife are regarded wtlh affection and will lie remembered with gratitude. Let us contrast the labors of two promi- nent contemporary teachers one. Mr. Moody, a Christian, and the other, Mr. an infidel missionary. Mr. Moody is e and self educated. Mr. Inger-so- ll is a gentleman of education, culture and reti ncmcut. That M r. Mood 1 's l.d ors have len in the highest degree beneficial to all classes will not be denied. The highest and the humblest listened with charmed interest, and all left IhuTalKTuacIe better and hap- pier. The general effect loth of his preach- ing, supplemented by the loice of Mr. fcunkty, cleared, braced, and purified the re hjious, moral and social atmosphere of the city. The labors of Moody and Sankey were practical. They not only asked "What shall the harvest be,' but they obtained hi their Impiiry rooms gratifying responses to their epiestions. Hundreds of drunkards were reclaim- ed, ganJjlers and prize fighters were convtitetl. Destitute, wiles and children and desolate homes have been made happy and bright b the rescue and return of re- formed husbands ami fathers.

W. NUMBER 8. That "Full Vcte. Fres Ballet ani Fair Count'1 ia Alabama. CoL Waudell of North Carolina is in the liabit of declaring, in his speeches on the stump in Vermont that "every negro in the South can go to the polls and cast his vote that he has every political privilege of tvi white man. By the side of, and as the best comment oa this bold assertion, wc put the news which ia now coming by every mail from Alabama. One gentleman, in a letter to Commissioner Ratun, describes the scene at the polls in Huntsvillc, Ala. Processions of voters who intended to vote the Demo- cratic ticket came to the polls led by brass bands and were not molested, of course ; but when the colored men came forward ia pro- cession, shouting for the candidate of the combination ticket, they were attacked and dispersed, some of them being badly hurt. He continues: "An election law ia this State which forbids the numbering of tickets to cor- respond with the tally-lis- t, and in this way destroys every evidence that tends to establish a basis for purging the polls of ille- - votes, together with the fact that the democratic managers took pains to put on as one of the Judge3 of Election at each place men of Republican antecedents w ho could not read in many instances, certainly estab- lishes a margin for fraud that it appears can- not be detected and punished. The evils complained of by the Republicans were treated with indifference, and the Demo- crats refused to make any correction. The State has, perhaps, given a larger Democratic vote than ever before since she has had a Republican vote,and under the Election lawa andthe means, resortedto with Democrat- ic machinery, it is not any surprise to any man that is at all informed upon Alabama or Southern politics." One of the leading men of the State sends the following to Secretary Snerman : "The late election In this State, as most of us anticipated, was a mere farce Whatever of decency remained in the Democratic party was on this occasion entirely cast aside, and frauds the most unblushing and stupendous committed. In many counties, where the population was largely colored, the Republi- cans did not vote, knowing that their votes would swell the Democratic majority. In some counties where w c had a county ticket in the field we brought out the f nil Repub- lican strength, and it was in such cases the counting-ou- t was done. In Lowndes county, Judge M. Dufiield got votes actually voted for him anil put into the box, each voter showing his ticket openly tn he went to the polls. The Democratic vote of the count is not over 1.3C0, and yet they re- turned a majority of 1,309 against him. Iu two beats there was an honest count. He carried one by over 400 majority, and the other, which was alw ay3 carried by the Democrats, he carried by 4 majority. In Scott'd beat. Perry county, where tally was kept in like manner, the Republicans openVy voted over 500 votes and the Democrats 40, and this beat returned a Democratic ma- jority of 230. These are onl- - Specimen bricks. When you apply it lo the State you can sec how the Democrats got their .10,000 majority." The writer then inserts the following from a private letter sent to him from Montgomery: Such a grand rally of the Republicans of the county has not been seen since 1S0S. Such intelli- gent determination to carr-th- e election on the part of the colored people was never known before. But votes don't count. The election was tlie'.bieest fraud ou ever saw or heard of. Tho Democrats themselves ad- mit it. We know it. It is perfectly useless to make any effort in this State from present appearances. The real fact is, in this State, that the Democrats intend to hold the State government at all prices and hazards. And this they regard as their imperative duty. Of course they say if wc win in the National campaign it w ill be so much better, but they look upon Alabama as their country, and the United States and the power of the Na- tional Government as a foreign power and a despotism put upon them against their will and consent." He closes his letter to the Secretary as follows : "This is the true key to the Southern problem. Home rule ami State rights mean that no man elected by the voles of black men shall be pem"ti to hold office in a Southern S'ate Uiev com sider it a high moral duty to defs uid the b'ack man ot his vote. Haa& sot tho lias. Following 13 the conclusion of Emory A. Storrs's great campaign speech delivered at Burlington, Iowa : Making no criticisms on Gen. Hancock's evreer as a soldier that he was a gallant one no one is inclined to dispute that he is a man of personal integrit no one is inclined or disposed to question, he is a professional soldier. I like to preserve the eternal har- mony of things. I like the relation between the bullet and the ballot to hsrmonious consistent and confidential. I object to Gen. Hancock, that he shoots one wa and votes another. Wc want a man who votes against the idea that lie fought against. I Applause. We want the bullet and the ballot to lake the same direction. We want them both to think, and, when they think, lo think alike. Cheers. Geo. Hancock's bullets and Gen. Hancock's ballots have not been in har- monious accord. He unsheathed his sword for a Nation : he votes for a league ; he pointed his cannon against the sovereignty of States. He undertook to kill and did kill the enthusiastic advocate of State sovereignty who guarded his enthusiasm with his gun, but he votes for the survivor of the same idea. I object to this irrepressible conflict between the ballot and the bullet of the Union soldier. Moreover, we area curious people. Wc wish to know who will lie the President when our candi- date is elected. When Gen. James A. Gar- field is elected President of the United States, he will c President : but should Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock be elected President of the United Slates, God, in his infinite wisdom, only knows who will be President. Gen. llancexk; does not know and cannot tell The soUt, second thought of this ureal, solid, practical peo- ple, standing as it does in Ihe midst of great prosperity, with thriving cities and a vast commerce, with smiling fields and prosper- ous home's hh a glorious pat, with a splendid present, and with a sublime future reaching out before it, knowing through what H'rils and at what mighty cost all Ihesttf have achieved, will not venture them upon an experiment. I Applause. The sober second (hou;ht and Ut judg- ment of this people knows that all Ihoewe owe to tlu great loyal masses w hieh have been organized into the Republican party cf the Nation. It honors that parti', and it honors the great names of its history. It hon- ors Lincoln and Grant and Morton and d Logan. Long continued applause. It honors the great patriots living and the great patriots dead. It has blessings for the latter, and lasting and endearing honors for the fint. The past is very dear to us. As good citizens ami as good menwe cherish it. Our natiou is very dear to us, anil wc know that only through the agencies of this great of which we are members and in whose iuterest 1 speak can this great Nation, the custodian of the priceless treasure's of free Government for all the peo- ple, Iw carried forw ard to those high summits of renow n which Proiidencc has detigned it skill reach? The t mine nee toward which it &t rives is clear above the clouds and glitter- ing in the tterral sunshine of the purest fame. The old music of the Union fids the air. I hear it, anil 1 keep step to it. The blessed old banner floats above us. I had and I dule it. The old hosts are gathering; the old spirit animates them. Th memories of the past and glories of the present come together to inspire us. The word goes out, ''Forward." Ihe result is victory. fln and continued applause and cheering. Is view of the asseverations of the Dem ocratlc platform and of Gen. Hancock as to the invioI.il1lit3- - of thu constitutional amend- ment 9, it is f.i'r to show what is the ri'al senti- ment of the Djmocr wy of the States particu- larly affecteel by lliemiiid upon whom Han cock relies wholly for success. Ileio is the Southern record oa the fourteenth amend- ment : Alabama -- Senate, 2 for and '27 against ; House, S for ami (') against. Atkansns Sen ite, 1 for and M agiot IIeme, 2 for ami GS against. Florida Sen it ii nnd House lwth unani- mous acuiiist it. Georgia Senite un luinnni-l- aninsi ; House, - for and 131 Iuisian-- i Senate ami Ilemse belli un mi- llions against it.

South Carolina Senate, unanimous against ; House, 1 for and !o against. lexas llctite, 0 lor ami against: no action in the Senate. Viannia Sen ite unanimously reject ; House, 1 for amendment. Nor must it be forgotten that the Demo-- t cratic Legislatures of New York ami Indiana attempted to and did repeal, so far as their action could do it, the acts of previous Re-- puoucau J jciiiiieiri cunt ui" ine auieim- - meiits. Should the Democrats come into power, they would claim that the repealing acts must stand, and that consequently the amendmantfl are null and Told. Which Is the Party cf Hate? Our Democratic friends delight to call the Republican party ''the party of hate, yet it is not a Republican, but a Democratic paper, the Charleston (S. CO A'rir and Courier, which says : We have no feeling for thoe who threat- en our e list ewe and disturb our peace but bitter liatred. They have chosen to disturb the armistice that we the victors and the powerful liave allowed. From now hence- forth let there be no peace or toleration for the public enemies who have abused our magnanimity and spurned our forgiveness of past crimes. They liave declared war against us. Ixt them have it as long as there is one of them. We mean that that white skinned man or negro who delib- erately enters the field fcr a radical State ticket will do so with the understanding that he will hereafter receive no favors or recog- nition from white men. Let them under- stand tbat there will be no employment for them where it is possible to avoid it ; that there will be no credit for them ; that from them the last farthing will be relentlessly ex- acted ; that the kindness of masters will cease. These bitter words, it is to te noted, are not from the Okolona States, or from any paper notsd for especial malignancy. On the contrary, the Charleston Xetrs and Cour- ier has been considered one of the moat tol- erant, as it is one of the ablest of the South era papers. If the Xtvat and Courier feels and talks in this way, we may be sure that plenty of South Carolinians are talking iu a vein of yet bitterer hatred. It is to Ite noted that the offence which so stirs up the JYrc and Courier U the attempt by the colored Republicans of South Carolina to exercise, in a peaceable and lawful way, their clear polit- ical right the rijht of every American citizen to vote for the men of their choice-o- nly ihi3 and nothing more Because they are once more organizing, as arc Ihe Repub- licans of Mississippi, and of other Southern States, in a probably hopeless effort to exer- cise the right of suffrage, which CoL Waddell asserts is as frcvly granted to every black man as to the white, they are informed that they (and evciy white friend and ally of theirs) shall have "war' and hatred and pro scription and oppression from their ''mas-ter- No man can read theparagraph above copied, without seeing that the spirit of the old slaveholder is still strong in the breast of this South Caroliaa journalist, and I us broth er Democrats. What the condition of the South Carolina Republicans is, is ipiite a? plain. They can have their rights on ors condition : that they make no attempt to ex- ercise them. If they will keep awa3 (rota the polls and from political meetings, and hold their tongues on all political topics, they cau have iruict ; but it Uonlai armistice. The violence and hatred and oppression are only suspended, and will fall with added force on Ihe lit ad of the luckless voter whu dares to show an signs of voting a "radical" State ticket. Is or is not South Carolina in the Union? And is this or is it not a free country? Cia Siai cf a HaalTr. Ssfishls. When William II. English of Indiana had been nominated for on the ticket with Hancock, the correspondent of tbe Times telegraphed from Cincinnati that English was vco unpopular in his own Stato on account of the greed he had shown iu ac- quiring money, and especially for the manner in which he had foreclosed mortgages held by him upoa the property of his neighbors. To this it was answered that English was "the poor man's friend. A cor- respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial ha furnished nearly an entire page of testimony as to his character as a "poor man's friend,' taken mainh from the official records of the County Clerk's office. These are in the shape of a list of 1S5 suits of judgment and fore- closure of mortgage entered since Ihe panic; another list of 43 sheriff's deeds from the Sheriff of Marion county to William ll. Eng- lish ; 39 deeds issued under foreclosure ; 40 tax deeds from tho city of Indianapolis to William II. English ; and 29 tax deeds from the Count Auditor of Marion county to William II. English. The records reveal the interesting fact that rarely did Mr. Eng- lish, w hen bt'3'ing under the hammer, bid the full amount of his mortgage, thus leaving in individual judgment against nearly every one of his unfortunate creditors. Nearly 800 pieces of s real estate have have gathered in b this poor ntan3 friend" through the medium of foreclosures and tax sales. The correspondent gives three cases as illustrating the manner in which these oper- ations were performed, the sufferer in the first case being a Republican, in the second a National, ami the third a Democrat. Capt. J. Rieli'r, an employe in the postofficc, said "Some si I'ears since I purchased for 2,200 two lotsfxoin James Frank, who liad laid out an addition on land height from Wil- liam II. English. I knew Frank intimately, and had so much confidence in him that I was careless about looking at the abstract of title, as he said all was right. I paid part tlown, and altogether paid SI, G00, and thee luul a chance to sell the property to good advantage, but the would-L- e purchaser found lhat English held a first or 'blanket mortgage over the whole addition. I then went to him and asked him lo release if, of- fering to pay extra nyypro rati of the mort- gage, when he said he w ould not do it, as tho mortgage was not due unlit 1 330,and he w ould sec about it then. This wa3 in 1376 or 1377 In the mean time Frank had turned over to him my last two notes, audi told English that unless he released the mortgage I would not psy another cent, as he might come on me tor any amount he saw tit in 1330. He said I could do as I liked, and subsequently foreclosed ca the lots, bid them in himself and secured an additional personal judgment against me of il,000. When I learned this 1 went to his otHce and asked what I owed il.OOO for : lhat I had paid him Sl.fiOO. and that he had the lots hack, and what more could he ak ? He s&Id what he asked wai his money, anil he proposed to have it, and that right away. I then told htm w lot 1 thought of bis roblvr, and he ordered UK out of his office. I had a small harness shop on Delaware street, ami was compelled to go into bankruptcy. Charles W. Moodv, formerly a druggist, said to the correspondent : In 1S7; or 1374 I was in business at tin. intent of Indiana avenue and Tetme. see street and owned the building. Was doing well, but concluded to add touiv building, and, as I had a little extra money, and there was a large amount of building going on, I thought 1 would bti some ground and start a brickyard, and that, thereby,! could make the brick for my houie free of cost. I accordingly liought ten acris south of town, from It. F. Heffgen, lor jtlTH) per acre, and paid on the pro'HTty leaving two notes of 1,000 each 3d unpaid. These Ileffgen sold to En glish, ami on them I paid until I owed him ci93.4o, according to my liguriug. I also paid the Uses, and this was the only incumbranc on the grouncL In the meantime there was no sale for brick, busi- ness was dull, and though I worked niht and elay I was unable to meet the interest. English then foreclosed, and though I met him at the court Iioum. ami on the steps asked him to be lenient, that I was doing all mortal man couM do. and that 1 would pa him as soon as possible, he said; and these are his eiact words : If you don't hurry up andpayme fatter, I will drive you thetl and gone f ltut this is not all,' continued Mr. Moody, he liought in ihe property and closed my elrug store ou a personal judgment of 2,50t. Row he got that I could not dis- cover, until 1 found that the notes were gtIddearincv' and that he had exacted the premium. When he closed my store other creditors of course came, and 1 was ruinoel. At tluit lime I considered myself, and was w oitli of , $'i,0C0, and Rill EugH-.l- ruined me. The correspondent ncit vhitel an old German naranl Ucorje Schrittr, who has also felt the grip of the iron hand : He was formerly in the ssloon business, and owned a time-stor- y brick building on Washington stiett, opposite the court house, and is au honest, hard working man.

    A wholesome distinction of America isthat indnstry alone is universally honor-able there, and has good chances. Thereare no common people there, in the En-glish sense, hen speaking in the Coo-per institute, Xcw York, I wa3 remindedthat the audience would repent leing soaddressed. Every laan in America feelsas though he owns the country, becausethe charm cf tecognized equality and thegolden chances of ownership haveentered his mind. He is proud of thestatues and public buildings. The greatrivers, the trackless prairies, the regaluountaius, all seem Lis. Even tho steep

    cUibs tones of New York and Boston,which brought me daily distress, I wasasked to admire for eome reason yet un-known to me. In England nobody saysto the visitor or foreigner when he firstmreta him. What do vou think of England ? Tho pjople do not feel that theyown .t1atp aaTen?ible con,

    rtrol over it Tne country is managed bysomebody else. Xoteven the membersof parliament know when base treaties aremade in the nation's name, and dishon-oring wars are entered into, which thelives and caruingsof their constituents maybe confiscated to sustain. All that our re

    can tell us is that that isan affair cf the crown. In America thereis no crown, and the people are kings, andthey know it I had not landed on theAmerican shores an hour before I becameaware that I was in a new nation, anima-ted by a new life which I had never seen.

Mr. Randall now narrates thestory of h'i3 at the hands of aSouthern mob at a political meeting. At ujoint discussion to which he had been invit-ed, at a place called Shuhuda, Miss., theDemocratic speaker was given the prece-dence, and during the course of his remarks(as Mr. Randal ccrtiflcs) he said

    "The Confederacy still exists, my friend,and Jeff Davis, the best friend we ever had,i3 yet our President and devoted to our in-terests, and if Hancock U elected, and wehave no doubt he will be, jou will be paidfor all the property yon have lost throughRadical rule, and you must stand by thegreat Democratic party, for a solid Southwill now give us entire control of the generalGovernment, and we will redrew all ourwrongs."

    The Meridian (Miss.) Mtrcury of Satur-day, August 7, commenting upon that partof Hancock's letter, says:

What hascaused this vast unrisms? Trom the coastof Maine to the Pacific slope there is oneunited sentiment among licpubiicans. ineissues of this political campaign are of vastimportance, and arouse a spirit of activity inthe entire party. They are issues that strikeat the vital force and energy of the Govern-ment. After mere remarks of like tenor,he introduced Wheeler as agentleman of hiph character and standing ;who, in all the political conflicts of twentyyears, had stood manfully by the right.

    Wheeler was received withcuthnsiaslic cheering.

    Mr. Chairman and JlfpuHnv.ni if Vir- -tnont:

    With all the boated freedom of the gmidold Green Mountain State, there is one manhere y under duress, and I am that manand the despoiler of my freedom is your wor-thy surnanied Smith. With amerely colorable warrant of authority, hecaused my presence here to day to lc adver-tised, well knowing that I would not dare toturn my back upon tny old boyhood home,just over the eastern hills which skirt yourbeautiful town.

    The Governor called at my house in ea few days bincc, and spoke of this

    meeting. He said he had already engagednil the oratorial ability that was needed;that nothing could U or would be. expectedof me in that line; '" i.i.pl wantedsoim-ihin- in the wa, . -o &aow, and as1 had Ixtn travelling In that capacity withthe administration for the last four year?, hethought I would just fill the bill. A com-plimentary, n man this

    of yiiurs. He forgot that John Adams,our Vice President, in his inaugural addressin 17bi, said, in identical words, that the

    was a "respectable situa-tion;" adding that he was "unaccustomedto refuse any public service, however dan-gerous to his reputation, or disproportionateto his talents." Thee words of Mr. Adamshave been wonderfully comforting to meduring my official term, particularly thosedeclaring the a "respectablesituation." My shrunken and attenuatedliauie shows you how onerous have beenmy official duties, confined mainly tokeeping the obstropererous Senators fromVermont in order in tho Senate ChamUT,Itu the has its trials. Thegreat trial U iu attending church, my life-time habit, learned here in Xcw England. Iought to find consolation, but I go away, toooften, witli my sDirtuahty greatly rolled.To hear the minister pray in turn for thePresident, his cabinet, both Houses of Con- -TTTtr'Erii"i.uiTJouit, Uw COcruora"uuil

    Legislatures of al! the States and every indi-vidual heathen fiom "Greenland's lev mountains to India's coral strand," and to findmj&clf wholly h ft out, gives the man of sinthe advantage ot the upper dog in thetight.

    On one of these occasions in Washington,when just this thing happened, as I passedout of church, my old friend, Shellabargcr,of Ohio, locking arms with me, said:"Wheeler, the minister was pretty hard uponyou this morning." "Yes," said I, "when aman is rated below the untutored savage,who strolls in breech clout along whereAfrlc's sunny fountains roll down theirgolden sands, and is past praying for, he isin a ttjrbt place." Hut I afterwards foundconsolation ; it came from your Senator Edmunds, who said to me,in learning my trial?,"you don't need the prayers and the otherfellow s do, and that probably was the viewthe minister took of it." While I had a lin-gering fear that the congregation did not ac-cept this theory, I concluded to comfort my-self with it and have come to have absolutefaith in it. From that time Mr. Edmundshas crown wonderfully in my estimation,and I regard him as eminent in psychology asin statesmanship. Ana 01 your illustriousSenator in passing I have to say, that withability as towering as his native mountainsand with character as pure as the breeze-which comes from them, n Nation proud ofits imperial statesmen, will not permit Ver-mont alone to monopolize his reputation.

    The is a place of "GreatExpectations," rarely, alaa, reati2?d. It isgelling late now for me to look for the oc-cupation of the mansion, coveted I fear bysome, more than the heavenly iimiMon'Imean the White House. While 1 havewasted away like Tanner, ia my stancd

    the President, with all the caresof his great office, has actually increaaMl hisavoirdupois, and there walks in allthis broad land no sturdier specimen of phy-sical and intellectual manhood than ho. Andho is go'mg into retirement on the ith day ofMarch next, with an eye undiuined in its lus-tre; which can look back upon nearly

    of happy, prosperous people, ateace at home and abroad, whom he has

    led out of the morass of shifting, uncertainvalues to the solid standard ground of theworld; and whom he has lifted out of thedepths of financial depression to the heightsof universal prosperity. He cm look backupon a constitution successfully defendedagainst every assault, open or covert; uponevery prerogative of Ins great office jealouslymaintained; upon a National financial faithimpregnable in its integrity and challengingthe admiration of the world ; upon an ad-ministration untarnished by a single Main andunrivalled in the history ol the Government,for patriotism, good sense and official cleanli-ness.

    well what the coming Presidential (lec-tion imjiorts.

    Itisalwajs a mystery to me, how ouidentify the Democratic party iu this State,for we outsiders never hear ot it except in uPresidential year. Asa liltlf humor is par-donable in the show, I will give 3 onmy theory of identification : I Mippose it isby the application of tho Irish te&t. A souof the Emerald isle had been sick a long timeand while in that state would occasionallycease breathing and life 1m apparently ex-tinct for some time, when he would cometo. On one of these occaMon. when he hadjust awakened from Ins long flcep, Patrickasked him : "And how 'I I we know Jemmywhen you'ie dead? je're after waking up

    time." 'Bring me n ghew of grog, nti'say to me, 'here's till 3 011, Jemmy an' iT Jdon't rise an' drink, then bury me." I un-derstand tin re are nmv Democrats fromnbioud traversing jour State, iain to theirparty friends "llcre'i till you, Junntj,"and that the party is arousing ildf for cjujidreniiitd drink, alter which it will teturntoits hibernating life. The Democratic partyof Vermont must be as hopeful as the manwhom Dean Swift's traveller met, who hadfjecn engagetl for fortj' 3 ears in the woik oTcrying; to extract sunbeams from cueuintier?."Have you succeeded? said the traveller."Not yet," replied the man, "but only granttne a 3 ear or two more, and additional fund,and 1 have no doubt shall suc( eed." Givethe Democratic party in Vermont plenty oFtime, anil let it lake nil tho money credulini3outsiders will invest in the footi-- h ventureof catching the Green Mountain boys nap-ping.

    Itepublicaus of Vermont, this is the oldconflict between the old parties, with this

    one variation Ihe Democratic parti hasdressed up in blue elatca, borrowed for theoccasion. Gen. Hancock, who hurled shotand shell at the Democratic party when itsought the life of the Nation 011 the fier- -

    heisrhts ot ucttyshura now leatis that ranyin its assault upon tire ballot bov, throughwhich it proposes to control the Governmentit could not destroy. And thU parly whichin National conventional Chicago, a monthafter the turn of the tide at Gettysburg, de-nounced the war 03 a failure, and said itouiiht to cease and which, during the war,made no concealment ot its joy at everydisaster to the Union anna, now rends theair with its shouts for the man who aided inputting down their rcbeuion. Oh I couldthese shouts have followed the victory atGettysburg, how grateful would they havebeen in the ears of our brave,wear- - armies. They would, as many aSouthern man has told me, have ended thatwar nearly a year sooner. My friends, thereis a great mistake in this business somewhere;and 3"ou, Yankees, who ere in tho habit oflooking cloe, will find no difficulty ia dis--cov ring the 01a uemocraiic cat under allthi? pretentious meal.

    C 1 forbid that I say aught in unjust gion of the gallant soldier, now the nom-

    inee .f the Democratic patty, who, when thefou- - lationsof the Government were rockingin t 2 wild tempest of tbe rebellion, whenwar ploughed its channels deep in our live?,our homes and our hearts and hung its blackban:.er over thousands of our hearth-stone-uusoilcdwith the slaughter of our lovedones ; God forbid, I repeat, that I say aughtin uniust derogation of tVo gallant soldierwho followed the starry banner through thatlone, weary struggle for the Nation's life andsealed his devotion to the Union of ourfathers with the impress of his own blood.But as the stream cannot rise higher than itsfountain, so no President ever did or evercan rise above his party. And the man whoseeks its suffrages and accepts its positlonsoftrust is bound by every conadera'ion to car-ry out its views and principles. The foun-tain of power in the Democratic party is inthe 133 votes furnished by tLc solid South.As 138 is to 47, so is the controlling powerin the Democratic party, as between the

    ortu anti me aoiiiu. in ail xour coroora- -tions, manufacturing and fimncial, a major-ity of the stock controls. Tint, in the eventof success, the South will cortro! the Demo-cratic party absolutely, results 33 well ma-thematically as from its conduct lefore thewar, when it dominated Ihe ttovemment inevery department, as Mr. Stephens provedconclusively in his speech a! Milledireville.as a reason why Georgia had lolhing to gain1,.. : ' i;..t.i: c 'the issue ha3 not changed. The questionwhich confronts us is, What shall be themake-up- , character, political ud moral, andreal purposes of the pirty which shall controlthe Government of this country for Ihe coming four years ? Shall it be the Democraticparti, wliow citadel ol power is manned bythoe who barely fifteen years ago wereclutching at the Nation's life, sa3'ing "Oneof us must die ;' the party ever hostile tofree popular Government; bred in hatredof New England and the Unioo ; w Inch

    to the last the barbarism of slaveryand which, down to this hour, protestsagainst every act of the National Govern-ment in the bouih except the distribution ofits largesses.

    Will you jcrmit this unregenerate Southern Democratic party yet tainted with thearistocratic caste of slavery. State rights andshameless repudiation ; yet smarting underthe bitterness, hatreds and revenges growingout of their fruitless attempt to overthrowthe Government, will ou permit tLis partyto assume power in this country ?

    or do you still cling to the Kepubhcanparty, which now as ever emblazons on itsbanner, "All men up' in the state of freedom, progress, education and equality be-fore the law ?

    I know well your answer. You will followthe banner borne by Girficld and Arthur re-splendent with such triumphs as were neverinscribed on other earthly banner. I haveknown Gen. Garfield intimately for the lastdecade. In daily association with him foryears, upon one of the leading committees ofme iiouse 01 ueprcsentativcs nnd in thewalks of private life, I know well the insand outs of his character.

    and nowhere else. What influence has theDemocratic party in this State? It doesn'telected Senators 'or Representatives. TheDemocatic party which governs is made upof ihe old g party. Some of itsmembers, of course, come from the North,but the Southern majority is so large thatthey absolutely control it. Of fort3'-tw- oDemocratic Senators thirty are from theoltl States. They think andact together. The tell us frankly that theystand where they have always stood. WadeHampton says they arc fielding for whatLee and is tone wail Jackson lougut.

    For the last 20 years every law touchingour industries has been a Republican law.The Democrats pronounced at Cincinnati fortnat tarut only which would raise tne largestamount of money in other words theirpolicy would favor the largest possible impor-tation of foreign goods. Were this policy toprevail our money would go abroad. The priceof labor would fall. The bread would be takenfrom the month of the workingman and ourmoney would go, not into the hands offoreign laborers, but solely into the coffersof rich capitalists and manufacturers abroad.How can a foreigner who came here to bet-ter his condition cast his fortunes with aparty w ho favor such a policy ? We havecome here to testify not only our Republi-canism but the liberty of opinion thatIrishmen should think and act as theyplease.

    After a reference to the reluctancehe felt to follow such a speaker asthe one just heard, whom he eulogizedas one of Ihe great leaders ofpublic thought in the Nation, Judge Mor-rison slid the present struggle wa? not oneof recent growth. It is the immemorialstruggle of right against wrong. Which isthe party of wronjr and of intolerance ? TheDemocratic party has opposed the right ofpetition against slavery. It has opposededucation for education nnd its principlesare antagonist ic. The speaker dissented fromthe saying that Irishmen are born into theDemocratic party. The Liberator O'Con-nel- l,

    while seeking for funds to aid him inhis great work, received a letter containing aremittance from Iouisiana. He said: "Liberty is dear to the Irish people. We havegiven her o;ir all.

    Juduc Morrison then told, at somelength, the story of General James ShieldsVlife and the shabby treatment of that

The two went inside, and Milesworked the combination and opened the bankvaults. There was $400,000 in the vaults,but the burglars were looking for a specialdeposit of 51,000,000, which the Pennsyl-vania Railroad was supposed to have madethe day before. The money had not arrived,and the burglars cither overlooked the $400,-00- 0,

    or, as stated on good authority, left it,expecting to secure the larger amount. Theydid not dare make a second attempt in t,

    but "put up" a job with the bankwatchman to "stand in" with them. At thelast moment on the night of the robbery he"weakened" and 'gave them away." Thepolice captured Dick Moore, alias 'Buf-falo

    Dick," and Rrown, alias McCoy.Both were convicted and sentenced to aterm of years. Moore served his term,but McCoy fell heir to a large fortune,and through friends in Troy, N.

Their days were pass-ed In either idleness or dep relations. Theirnights were spent in d.inee house debauch-eries. All healthy or wholesome inlluenceswore excluded. Children grew up to be-come cither street beggirs or inmates of thealmshouse and their parents filled peniten-tiaries and prisons. These orgies continuedyear after 3 ear, defiant an I aggressive, untilthat pandemonium was invaded by Chris-tian men and women who3c patience wouldnot tire, whose courage was indomitable andwhose devotion has been rewarded by a mor-al and religious reformation so complete thatno part of our city is now more tniiet andordei I3 than the once dreaded "Five Points."Thousands of chtldreu then growing upcither vagabonds or culprits arc now attend-ing schools, in which they are stimulated byprecept and example to live industrious andvirtuous lives. Instead, therefore, of send-ing forth idle, ignorant and vicious childrento prc3 upon society, the destitute and or-phan children cf the "Five Poiuts," pre-pared for usefulness by moral and religioustraining, find happy homes in onr rapidldeveloping Western States and territories.

    NUMBER 8.

    That "Full Vcte. Fres Ballet ani FairCount'1 ia Alabama.

    CoL Waudell of North Carolina is in theliabit of declaring, in his speeches on thestump in Vermont that "every negro in theSouth can go to the polls and cast his vote

    that he has every political privilege of tviwhite man. By the side of, and as the best

    comment oa this bold assertion, wc put thenews which ia now coming by every mailfrom Alabama. One gentleman, in a letterto Commissioner Ratun, describes the scene

    at the polls in Huntsvillc, Ala. Processionsof voters who intended to vote the Demo-cratic ticket came to the polls led by brass

    bands and were not molested, of course ; but

    when the colored men came forward ia pro-

    cession, shouting for the candidate of the

    combination ticket, they were attacked anddispersed, some of them being badly hurt.He continues:

    "An election law ia this State whichforbids the numbering of tickets to cor-respond with the tally-lis- t, and in thisway destroys every evidence that tends toestablish a basis for purging the polls of ille- -

    votes, together with the fact that thedemocratic managers took pains to put on

    as one of the Judge3 of Election at each placemen of Republican antecedents w ho couldnot read in many instances, certainly estab-lishes a margin for fraud that it appears can-not be detected and punished. The evilscomplained of by the Republicans weretreated with indifference, and the Demo-crats refused to make any correction. TheState has, perhaps, given a larger Democraticvote than ever before since she has had aRepublican vote,and under the Election lawaandthe means, resortedto with Democrat-ic machinery, it is not any surprise to anyman that is at all informed upon Alabama orSouthern politics."

    One of the leading men of the State sendsthe following to Secretary Snerman :

    "The late election In this State, as most ofus anticipated, was a mere farce Whateverof decency remained in the Democratic partywas on this occasion entirely cast aside, andfrauds the most unblushing and stupendouscommitted. In many counties, where thepopulation was largely colored, the Republi-cans did not vote, knowing that their voteswould swell the Democratic majority. Insome counties where w c had a county ticketin the field we brought out the f nil Repub-lican strength, and it was in such cases thecounting-ou- t was done. In Lowndes county,Judge M. Dufiield got votes actuallyvoted for him anil put into the box, eachvoter showing his ticket openly tn he wentto the polls. The Democratic vote of thecount is not over 1.3C0, and yet they re-turned a majority of 1,309 against him.Iu two beats there was an honest count. Hecarried one by over 400 majority, and theother, which was alw ay3 carried by theDemocrats, he carried by 4 majority. InScott'd beat. Perry county, where tally waskept in like manner, the Republicans openVyvoted over 500 votes and the Democrats 40,and this beat returned a Democratic ma-jority of 230. These are onl- - Specimenbricks. When you apply it lo the Stateyou can sec how the Democrats gottheir .10,000 majority." The writer theninserts the following from a private lettersent to him from Montgomery: Such agrand rally of the Republicans of the countyhas not been seen since 1S0S. Such intelli-gent determination to carr-th- e election onthe part of the colored people was neverknown before. But votes don't count. Theelection was tlie'.bieest fraud ou ever sawor heard of. Tho Democrats themselves ad-mit it. We know it. It is perfectly useless tomake any effort in this State from presentappearances. The real fact is, in this State,that the Democrats intend to hold the Stategovernment at all prices and hazards. Andthis they regard as their imperative duty.Of course they say if wc win in the Nationalcampaign it w ill be so much better, but theylook upon Alabama as their country, andthe United States and the power of the Na-tional Government as a foreign power and adespotism put upon them against their willand consent." He closes his letter to theSecretary as follows : "This is the true keyto the Southern problem. Home rule amiState rights mean that no man elected by thevoles of black men shall be pem"ti tohold office in a Southern S'ate Uiev comsider it a high moral duty to defs uid theb'ack man ot his vote.

    Haa& sot tho lias.Following 13 the conclusion of Emory A.

    Storrs's great campaign speech delivered atBurlington, Iowa :

    Making no criticisms on Gen. Hancock'sevreer as a soldier that he was a gallant oneno one is inclined to dispute that he is aman of personal integrit no one is inclinedor disposed to question, he is a professionalsoldier. I like to preserve the eternal har-mony of things. I like the relation betweenthe bullet and the ballot to hsrmoniousconsistent and confidential. I object to Gen.Hancock, that he shoots one wa and votesanother. Wc want a man who votes againstthe idea that lie fought against. I Applause.We want the bullet and the ballot to lakethe same direction. We want them both tothink, and, when they think, lo think alike.Cheers. Geo. Hancock's bullets and Gen.

    Hancock's ballots have not been in har-monious accord. He unsheathed his swordfor a Nation : he votes for a league ; hepointed his cannon against the sovereigntyof States. He undertook to kill and did killthe enthusiastic advocate of State sovereigntywho guarded his enthusiasm with his gun,but he votes for the survivor of thesame idea. I object to this irrepressibleconflict between the ballot and thebullet of the Union soldier. Moreover, wearea curious people. Wc wish to knowwho will lie the President when our candi-date is elected. When Gen. James A. Gar-field is elected President of the UnitedStates, he will c President : but shouldGen. Winfield Scott Hancock be electedPresident of the United Slates, God, in hisinfinite wisdom, only knows who will bePresident. Gen. llancexk; does not knowand cannot tell The soUt, secondthought of this ureal, solid, practical peo-ple, standing as it does in Ihe midst of greatprosperity, with thriving cities and a vastcommerce, with smiling fields and prosper-ous home's hh a glorious pat, with asplendid present, and with a sublime futurereaching out before it, knowing throughwhat H'rils and at what mighty cost allIhesttf have achieved, will not venturethem upon an experiment. I Applause.The sober second (hou;ht and Ut judg-ment of this people knows that all Ihoeweowe to tlu great loyal masses w hieh havebeen organized into the Republican party cfthe Nation. It honors that parti', and ithonors the great names of its history. It hon-ors Lincoln and Grant and Morton and d

    Logan. Long continued applause.It honors the great patriots living andthe great patriots dead. It has blessings forthe latter, and lasting and endearing honorsfor the fint. The past is very dear to us.As good citizens ami as good menwe cherishit. Our natiou is very dear to us, anil wcknow that only through the agencies of thisgreat of which we are members and inwhose iuterest 1 speak can thisgreat Nation, the custodian of the pricelesstreasure's of free Government for all the peo-ple, Iw carried forw ard to those high summitsof renow n which Proiidencc has detigned itskill reach?

Theblessed old banner floats above us. I hadand I dule it. The old hosts are gathering;the old spirit animates them. Th memoriesof the past and glories of the present cometogether to inspire us. The word goes out,''Forward." Ihe result is victory. flnand continued applause and cheering.

    Is view of the asseverations of the Democratlc platform and of Gen. Hancock as tothe invioI.il1lit3- - of thu constitutional amend-

    ment 9, it is f.i'r to show what is the ri'al senti-ment of the Djmocr wy of the States particu-larly affecteel by lliemiiid upon whom Hancock relies wholly for success. Ileio is theSouthern record oa the fourteenth amend-ment :

    Alabama -- Senate, 2 for and '27 against ;House, S for ami (') against.

    Atkansns Sen ite, 1 for and M agiotIIeme, 2 for ami GS against.

    Viannia Sen ite unanimously reject ;House, 1 for amendment.

    Nor must it be forgotten that the Demo-- tcratic Legislatures of New York ami Indianaattempted to and did repeal, so far as theiraction could do it, the acts of previous Re--puoucau J jciiiiieiri cunt ui" ine auieim- -meiits. Should the Democrats come intopower, they would claim that the repealingacts must stand, and that consequently theamendmantfl are null and Told.

    Which Is the Party cf Hate?Our Democratic friends delight to call the

    Republican party ''the party of hate, yet itis not a Republican, but a Democratic paper,the Charleston (S. CO A'rir and Courier,which says :

    We have no feeling for thoe who threat-en our e list ewe and disturb our peace butbitter liatred. They have chosen to disturbthe armistice that we the victors and thepowerful liave allowed. From now hence-forth let there be no peace or toleration forthe public enemies who have abused ourmagnanimity and spurned our forgivenessof past crimes. They liave declared waragainst us. Ixt them have it as long as thereis one of them. We mean thatthat white skinned man or negro who delib-erately enters the field fcr a radical Stateticket will do so with the understanding thathe will hereafter receive no favors or recog-nition from white men. Let them under-stand tbat there will be no employment forthem where it is possible to avoid it ; thatthere will be no credit for them ; that fromthem the last farthing will be relentlessly ex-acted ; that the kindness of masters willcease.

    These bitter words, it is to te noted, arenot from the Okolona States, or from anypaper notsd for especial malignancy. Onthe contrary, the Charleston Xetrs and Cour-ier has been considered one of the moat tol-

    erant, as it is one of the ablest of the Southera papers. If the Xtvat and Courier feelsand talks in this way, we may be sure thatplenty of South Carolinians are talking iu avein of yet bitterer hatred. It is to Ite notedthat the offence which so stirs up the JYrcand Courier U the attempt by the coloredRepublicans of South Carolina to exercise, ina peaceable and lawful way, their clear polit-ical right the rijht of every Americancitizen to vote for the men of their choice-o- nly

    ihi3 and nothing more Because theyare once more organizing, as arc Ihe Repub-licans of Mississippi, and of other SouthernStates, in a probably hopeless effort to exer-cise the right of suffrage, which CoL Waddellasserts is as frcvly granted to every blackman as to the white, they are informed thatthey (and evciy white friend and ally oftheirs) shall have "war' and hatred and proscription and oppression from their ''mas-ter-

    No man can read theparagraph abovecopied, without seeing that the spirit of theold slaveholder is still strong in the breast ofthis South Caroliaa journalist, and I us brother Democrats. What the condition of theSouth Carolina Republicans is, is ipiite a?plain. They can have their rights on orscondition : that they make no attempt to ex-ercise them. If they will keep awa3 (rotathe polls and from political meetings, andhold their tongues on all political topics, theycau have iruict ; but it Uonlai armistice.The violence and hatred and oppression areonly suspended, and will fall with addedforce on Ihe lit ad of the luckless voter whu

    dares to show an signs of voting a "radical"State ticket. Is or is not South Carolina inthe Union? And is this or is it not a freecountry?

    Cia Siai cf a HaalTr. Ssfishls.When William II. English of Indiana had

    been nominated for on theticket with Hancock, the correspondent oftbe Times telegraphed from Cincinnati thatEnglish was vco unpopular in his own Statoon account of the greed he had shown iu ac-quiring money, and especially for the

    manner in which he had foreclosedmortgages held by him upoa the property ofhis neighbors. To this it was answered thatEnglish was "the poor man's friend. A cor-respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial hafurnished nearly an entire page of testimonyas to his character as a "poor man's friend,'taken mainh from the official records of theCounty Clerk's office. These are in the shapeof a list of 1S5 suits of judgment and fore-

    closure of mortgage entered since Ihe panic;another list of 43 sheriff's deeds from theSheriff of Marion county to William ll. Eng-lish ; 39 deeds issued under foreclosure ; 40tax deeds from tho city of Indianapolis toWilliam II. English ; and 29 tax deeds fromthe Count Auditor of Marion county toWilliam II. English. The records revealthe interesting fact that rarely did Mr. Eng-lish, w hen bt'3'ing under the hammer, bidthe full amount of his mortgage, thus leavingin individual judgment against nearly everyone of his unfortunate creditors. Nearly 800pieces of s real estate have havegathered in b this poor ntan3 friend"through the medium of foreclosures and taxsales.

    The correspondent gives three cases asillustrating the manner in which these oper-ations were performed, the sufferer in thefirst case being a Republican, in the seconda National, ami the third a Democrat. Capt.J. Rieli'r, an employe in the postofficc, said

    "Some si I'ears since I purchased for2,200 two lotsfxoin James Frank, who liad

    laid out an addition on land height from Wil-liam II. English. I knew Frank intimately,and had so much confidence in him that Iwas careless about looking at the abstract oftitle, as he said all was right. I paid parttlown, and altogether paid SI, G00, and theeluul a chance to sell the property to goodadvantage, but the would-L- e purchaserfound lhat English held a first or 'blanketmortgage over the whole addition. I thenwent to him and asked him lo release if, of-fering to pay extra nyypro rati of the mort-gage, when he said he w ould not do it, as thomortgage was not due unlit 1 330,and he w ouldsec about it then. This wa3 in 1376 or 1377In the mean time Frank had turned over tohim my last two notes, audi told Englishthat unless he released the mortgage I wouldnot psy another cent, as he might come onme tor any amount he saw tit in 1330. Hesaid I could do as I liked, and subsequentlyforeclosed ca the lots, bid them in himselfand secured an additional personal judgmentagainst me of il,000. When I learned this1 went to his otHce and asked what I owedil.OOO for : lhat I had paid him Sl.fiOO. andthat he had the lots hack, and what morecould he ak ? He s&Id what he asked waihis money, anil he proposed to have it, andthat right away. I then told htm w lot 1thought of bis roblvr, and he ordered UKout of his office. I had a small harness shopon Delaware street, ami was compelled to gointo bankruptcy.

    Charles W. Moodv, formerly a druggist,said to the correspondent :

    In 1S7; or 1374 I was in business at tin.intent of Indiana avenue and Tetme.see street and owned the building. Wasdoing well, but concluded to add touivbuilding, and, as I had a little extra money,and there was a large amount of buildinggoing on, I thought 1 would bti someground and start a brickyard, and that,thereby,! could make the brick for my houiefree of cost. I accordingly liought ten acrissouth of town, from It. F. Heffgen, lorjtlTH) per acre, and paid on the pro'HTty

    leaving two notes of1,000 each 3d unpaid. These Ileffgen

    sold to En glish, ami on them I paid untilI owed him ci93.4o, according to myliguriug. I also paid the Uses, and this wasthe only incumbranc on the grouncL In themeantime there was no sale for brick, busi-ness was dull, and though I worked nihtand elay I was unable to meet the interest.English then foreclosed, and though I methim at the court Iioum. ami on the stepsasked him to be lenient, that I was doing allmortal man couM do. and that 1 would pahim as soon as possible, he said; and theseare his eiact words : If you don't hurry upandpayme fatter, I will drive you thetland gone f

    ltut this is not all,' continued Mr.Moody, he liought in ihe property andclosed my elrug store ou a personal judgmentof 2,50t. Row he got that I could not dis-cover, until 1 found that the notes weregtIddearincv' and that he had exacted the

    premium. When he closed my store othercreditors of course came, and 1 was ruinoel.At tluit lime I considered myself, and wasw oitli of , $'i,0C0, and RillEugH-.l- ruined me.
