The Mass Meeting To-Night.
Pursuant to the ca 1 of the Executive
Committee of Chatham county, else
where published, there will be a mass
meeting of the Democracy at the Theatre
to night for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the approaching Congressional
and Senatorial Conventions, and of nomi
nating three candidates for the Legisla
ture from this county. It is needless to
remark that this will be a very in
teresting occasion, and it in to be
hoped the Democrats of the
county will turn out in full
force, so that good men entirely accepta
ble to the citizens ot Chatham at large,
may be nominated as her Representa
tives. This is absolutely necessary to
preserve the harmony and unity of the
party in the county, and in view of its
great importance, we offer the following
suggestion:
It is well known that—as stated by Mr.
L. H. Montmollin at ihe meeting of the
Democracy held in St. Andrew’s Hall on
the 4th of June last, to eelect delegates
to the Atlanta Convention, which was to
appoint delegates to the Cincinnati Presi
dential Convention—there have been,
whether well founded or not, many
complaints uttered in the past that the
programmes of Democratic meetings in
this county were always “cut aud dried”
beforehand, and that such meetings
were usually controlled by certain rings
and cliques. It will also be remembered
that there was adopted, with scarcely a
dissenting voice, a resoluton then offered
by that gentleman, as follows:
‘•Whereas. That spirit of harmony which
should control us in our deliberations and ac
tions has frequently been jeopardized by the
method heretofore adopted in public meetings
f-»r the selection of delegates; and whereas, we
I desire to avoid all possible grounds of com-
I plaint in connection with the business of this
meeting; therefore, be it
1 Resol red, 1 hat the Chairman select the names
of thirty gentlemen from different portions of
the hall, and cause the same to be written on
separate slips of paper, placing the same in a
hat and drawing twelve names at random
therefrom, the twelve gentlemen whose names
are so drawn to retire and select the names of
suitable delegates and alternates, reporting
them one at a time for ratification to this meet
I ing.”
The effect of this resolution was just
such as was desired by its author and
the meeting. It resulted in the selection
of delegates with whom the party ex
pressed itself entirely satisfied, and
removed all possible cause for the com
plaints to which we have alluded.
If there was ever an occasion when
such action as that taken at the
St. Andrew's Hall meeting was neces
sary, this to night is certainly one. There
is no true Democrat ia Georgia who
does not deplore the present unhappy
rupture in the ranks of the party in the
State, especially at this time, and it
would be still more deplorable for the
quarrel to be carried any further. To
this end there should be no pre
text given for any one to complain
hereafter that the meeting to be held to
night was “cut and dried” in the interest
of any faction, ring or clique. This
can be prevented fully by the selection
of delegates to the Congressional and
Senatorial Conventions, and by the ap
pointment of a committee to report a
ticket for the lower House of the Legis
lature in the manner proposed in the
above resolution. We should by all
means have delegates and nominations
upon whom the whole party in the
county can heartily agree, and against
the selection of whom there can be no
possible dissatisfaction. We therefore
cordially recommend the action of the
St. Andrew’s Hall meeting in June to
the meeting to be held to night, and if it
wise it will not disregard the sug
gestion.
A Railroad Under Broadway, New
York.—The proposed underground rail
road in New York, from the Battery to
Central Park, is attracting attention in
that city, and it is said that the Hudson
River Tunnel Company and the Erie
Railway are taking an interest in the
project. The plans for the new road in
clude tunnels and double tracks directly
under Broadway and just below the wa
ter pipes, and reaching nearly to the
curb on each side. The main line will
be run straight up Broadway to Madison
square, thence up Madison square to the
Grard Central depot. Branch roads are
to be run to Fifty ninth street and Eighth
avenue, and to other points. The air in
the tunnels, much of which is to be in
troduced by shafts and other artificial
means, is to be kept sweet and clean, the
engineer says. The cars are to move
very smoothly, and be drawn by huge
00-ton locomotives, which will burn coke
and consume their own smoke, like those
on the London underground lines. It is
hinted, however, that the enterprise is
nothing more nor less than a shrewd at
tempt to forestall Mr. Vanderbilt in se
curing this route, and thus either induc
ing him to come into the enterprise or
buy it out at a large advance.
Yung Kwai, a Chinaman, became a
convert to Christianity while at school at
Springfield, Mass. He wrote home about
it to his father, who is one of the highest
of the Chinese nobles. The father wrote
a very indignant letter to the son, who
was ordered to return home at once. As
he was determined to be true to his new
faith at all hazards, he looked upon his
return to China as going to almost cer
tain death. He started quietly with other
boys for Boston, whence they were to
sail for home, by way of Europe, but
stepped from the train, and that is the
last that has been seen of him. Where
he is nobody seems to know. He is
twenty years old, and he is evidently
hoping to be kept hidden for a year, un
til he becomes of age and can become a
citizen of the United States.
“Toe Life of Gen. Winfield Stott Hancock—
lVrsonal, Military and Political.” By Rev.
D. X. Judkin, I). D., late Chapkiifi United
States Navy, and Frank H. Norton, late As
sistant Librarian Astor Library. Illustrated.
New York: D. Appleton & Co.
The preface to this Life of Gen. Han
cock states that it is founded on an ex
tended biography compiled by the late
Rev. D. X. Judkin, with the advantage
of being revised, condensed and com
piled from the large amount of material
collected by him, added by free access
to oilier documents, including Gen.
Hancock’s official reports. It includes,
therefore, besides an account of his
parentage and early life, and of his
services in the army during the war with
Mexico and at the South during our
civil strife, his orders after the war
while in command of the Fifth Military
district recognizing and enforcing the
suliordination of the military to the civil
tribunals, his famous letter to Governor
Pease, of Texas, and his correspondence
with Gen. Sherman after the Presidential
election of 1870 and before the appoint
ment of the Electoral Commission.
The union of the New York city
Democrats secures a eain of two, and
possibly three, Congressmen in that city
and several Assemblymen. Owing to
party divisions in 1878 two Democratic
districts are now represented in Congress
by Republicans. The other district is
close, with the chances slightly in favor
of the Republicans, but it may be car
ried by bard work. The union in the
Assembly districts is scarcely less im
portaut than that in the Congressmen.
The next Legislature elects a successor
to Senator Kernan. It is possible to
make it Democratic, and the amicable
arrangement between Irving and Tam
man}* Halls is an important step in that
direction.
That Senator Conkling has not been
sufficiently “conciliated” yet is apparent
from the efforts now being made by
Mr. Jewell’s committee to induce Gener
al Grant to sit as a figurehead of a
“monster” ratification meeting in New
York. The idea appears to be that if
General Grant con be induced to preside
Mr. Conkling may be prevailed upon to
speak, and everything can thus be
smoothed over. Unfortunately, General
Grant is out West, Mr. Conkling is still
indisposed, and, meanwhile, much valu-
bie time is being lost.
A Big Cranberry Crop.—Cranberry
picking will soon begin in Wisconsin
on one of the largest crop*3 ever bar
vested. It is an industry of great im
portance in many localities, and large
investments are being annually made in
lands adapted to that purpose. Last
year the Wisconsin Valley Railroad car
ried away 20,000 barrels, and it is esti
mated that the St. Paul transported as
many more. Prices bid fair to rule low,
$5 per barrel being the price offered at
present, which is $2 or $3 below the
average. About 10.000 pickers find
employment during the season at fair
wages.
France is reduced to the novel plight
of having to import wine for home con
sumption. The crop this year is a fail
ure owing to the ravages of the phyllox
era, and the curious spectacle may be
presented of Frenchmen drinking Ameri
can wine.
The Wreck of the Steamer “Vera
Cruz.”
From the statement of Mr. Owen, one
of the passengers saved from the ill fated
steamer Vera Cruz (which we laid before
the readers of the News on Tuesday
morning), we gather important facts
bearing upon the disaster. We learn,
from Mr. Owens narrative, that the
steamer left New York in unpleasant,
cold weather on Wednesday, 25th of
August, and that a brisk northeast wind
accompanied the cold wave Thursday
and Friday, calming down at midnight.
“The ship,” he says, “listed all the way.
* * * Particularly was this the case
Friday, which showed that the storm
was increasing, weather cloudy, mostly
rain.” Whether the listing of the ship
was due to bad stowage, or the force of
the northeast wind, Mr. Owen does not
say. “At 1 p. m. on Saturday,” he con
tinues, “the Captain was heard to re
mark to Mr. Harris, first officer, ‘1 have
just noticed that the barometer is falling
rapidly. We arc going to have a hurri
cane.’ ” Orders were giveu to cut up
and throw the cargo (deck lead, we sup
pose,) overboard. The full blast of the
cyclone struck the steamer at 1 -.35 p. m.
Saturday—thirty- five minutes after the
Captain had remarked to the first officer,
“We are going to have a hurricane;
and at 0 a. m. Sunday, sixteen hours af
terwards, the ship went down, breaking
in the middle.
We are not nauticaily experienced,
aud therefore intend no professional
criticism of the Captain’s conduct and
management of the vessel. But a ques
tion in regard to them occurs to us bear
ing upon the general safety of sea travel
and transportation, which is worth pub
lic consideration, the end* we propose
being to obtain greater security against
sea risks.
Reid, Maury, Jansen, and other scien
tists, who have treated of wind currents,
storms, etc., have told U3 that all the
seas of the Northern hemisphere have
the hurricane season; and that the West
India hurricanes of the Atlantic occur
during the months of August and Sep
tember, simultaneously with the African
monsoons. The terrific violence of ihese
West India hurricanes have been so fre
quently described that their power and
the damages caused by them are
familiar to every intelligent person. We
assume that large passenger and freight
steamers like the Vera Cruz are com
manded by thorough seamen. To be
thorough seaman to day requires a sub
stantial knowledge of the facts develop
ed by wind science, particularly in view
of the velocity with which steamers are
propelled through the water. The Cap
tain of the Vera Cruz appears, from the
narrative, to have been informed on
these points, and to have understood his
barometer.
Such being the case, was it prudent in
Captain Van Sice to keep on his course,
running, as he must have known, into
the centre of the cyclone? The question
involves the consideration of the value
of the lives of the passengers and crew,
counterbalanced by the obligation to the
interests of the owners aud of the ship
pers to make as quick time as possible.
The vessel, cargo and freight money
were, no doubt, fully assured, and
owners and shippers have sustained, per
haps, little, if any, pecuniary loss; mak
ing, therefore, the value of schedule time
the only counterpoise to the value of the
human lives on board. Good judgment,
it seems to us,would have reasoned thus:
Hurricanes are in season at this time,
and, with the unfavorable and increas
ing stormy weather we have had, we
must run cautiously, «or, as we get into
the region of the West India islands, we
may plump into the centre of one. I
have in my charge eighty-two lives, and
am bound to look after their safety first
of all. We may be at Havana behind
our usual and expected time,- and the
owners aud shippers may scold, but I
am answerable for the safety of these
helpless passengers who are confided to
my care, as also for those of my crew
therefore I will slow down, or run off
my course a point or so, and keep on the
edge of the storm and not be caught in
its centre.”
A sailing vessel might not be able to
do this, but a staunch, heavy built
steamer,well equipped, and well manned,
could slow down or alter her course
readily.
We call attention to this narrative of
wreck because the developments of
science are so wonderful that sea risks
should be now almost nothing in com
parison with the dangers that threatened
commerce some years ago, and because
we have been informed that
many ship owners place schedule time
first in value and the lives of
passengers and crew in after considera
tion. It is told of Vanderbilt that he
dismissed a Captain for “slowing” in a
heavy fog off the banks that his passen
gers might be safe, when, if he had kept
on, he would have made the shortest
time from Europe on record. “But,
remonstrated the Captain, “I thought of
my passengers.” “D your passen
gers; my orders to you were to make
time.” It is to be feared that in this
haste “to make speed” lies the secret of
many of the marine disasters we are
called upon to report.
Trading in Public Offices.
An editor out West was arrested on
the Gth instant for charging a Con
gressman with selling cadetships. This
is not a new traffic, since the war, but
had prevailed, with the trading in other
public offices, for some years prior to it.
It is a corrupt commerce existing in all
governments, but less in our own than
in any other. Our Democratic system
holds men to a stricter “personal re
sponsibility for their public acts
than can any other political org&niza
tion, and this causes our politicians to
be cautious in their conduct. It is not
often, with us, that men are rewarded for
vicious acts, as have been Gen. Garfield
and Mr. Arthur. But there are always
exceptions to general rules. Or rather
we may say, seeming exceptions, which
are the legitimate resultants of other
forces, blended in with the main ele
meats of different propositions, and
influencing them more or
While, therefore, the nominations
of Messrs. Garfield and Arthur
may appear to be exceptions to
general rule of honor in public affairs,
they are the consequences of fifteen
year3 of unconstitutional legislation, and
of political injustice. The Radical par
ty is notoriously corrupt, and unfaithful
to the Democratic principles on which
the repablic is based, and Messrs. Gar
field and Arthur, logically, are the expo
nents of its political turpitude.
Civil service reform to be effective,
should begin with the root of the evil—
official patronage—by restricting ap
pointinents to public office to selections
from the community in which the duties
of the office are to be performed. This
is our good old fashioned Democracy,
and limits the area of choice in shutting
out carpetbagism. It is rare—almost an
impossibility—that qualified, compe
tent men cannot be found in
community for the Federal offices
it, so that there is no excuse or
apology for carpetbag services. As far
as possible the recommendations of Con
gressmen should be confined to their own
districts, respectively, and the recom
mendations of other influential public
men to their own States. For diplomat
ic, consular positions and general ser
vices, the field, of course, is open to all.
With regard to cadetships, whether at
the military academy or the naval
schools, our experience, for many years,
leads us to the conclusion that they are
now representative offices, and should
be made on open examination. At first,
appointments to West Point were made
by the President on the recommenda
tion of Senators and Representa
tives. They were not much sought
for then, and it was often
difficult to get cadets enough to fill the
quota authorized by law. We have
known men of one State appointed from
another State m which there was a defi
ciency of applicants. As cadetships
became more popular, this method
of wide appointment was corrected
Cadets were required to be
residents of the State from which ap
pointed, and the appointments were
taken from the President and given to
the Congressional Representatives and
delegates, except ten at large, which the
Piesident retained. This was progress
in the right direction, although it gave
to Congressmen a little patronage which
might be turned (it generally was) to their
own personal advantage. But the time
has now come when the true Democratic
principle of equal rights should be as
serted, in the recognition of the fact,
that cadets at the national schools are
the representatives in them of their dis
tricts, qualified for the representation by
educational attainments. For system,
Congressmen should be notified of va
cancies in their districts at any of the
national schools, that they may advise
the people of the district and appoint a
time and place for the examination of
such young men as are elegible and de
sirous of becoming candidates for ad
mission to the schools, the ex
amination to be conducted in such
manner as shall be publicly
known, and the candidate passing the
best in the requirements for the cadet
ship to be reported to the Congressmen
interested, who shall present the same to
the President for appointment. In case
of accident to the best, the next best to
come m order, and so on.
This plan had been voluntarily
adopted with success by a few Congress
men in other States, and therefore its
feasibility and advantage cannot be
made subjects for discussion. It has
worked so well that Congress should
establish by law for all cadetships the
precedent set by these Congressmen of
Democratic instincts, and we shall hear
no more of trading in them.
Republican Soldiers for Hancock.
The following circular has been sent
out by order of the club from the head
quarters of the “Hancock Republican
soldiers and sailors of the late war,
Philadelphia:
Philadelphia, September 1, 1880.
Comrades—The debauchery of the
party with which we have affiliated for
the past twenty years has become
manifest to all good and true soldiers,
without regard to party; to such an ex
tent have the office holders trampled upon
the rights of the people; the stench of
impurity which pervades all the depart
ments of the national. State and city
government, that a change in the admin
istratiou of affairs is demanded aud must
be had to clean these Augean stables of
the filth that has surrounded them. The
cry of halt must be heeded. Men who
were contractors, men who were sutlers,
men who were the hangers on of the
army, men who did nothing but make
money while we were fighting for the
perpetuity of the Union, are the men
who to-day. as in the days of the war.
are hiding the honors and emoluments
of office.
Tins should be stopped. It is our
rights that are trampled upon, and it is
the privilege of the soldiers aud sailor?
of the late war to stand by their colors
as in the days of yore, and compel these
cormorants of the public crib to stop
feasting off the carcass of the nation and
endeavor to bring about a healthy condi
tion of affairs.
There are thousands of soldiers and
seamen who believe as we do: whose
rights have been sapped away, and
who stand to day as they never stood
before, in dread of the officeholder and
his master. To these men, comrades in
arms of the past, we say come with us.
Too long has the “bloody shirt” been the
cry of the politician and place hunter.
Too long have these men teen permitted
to use the fair fame won on the battle
field by the soldier, to foist themselves
into power. Too long have we been pas
sive spectators of men winning honor
and renown which should belong to us.
The time has come to halt.
Commence the cleaning out of the
politicians that have ruled us, by voting
for the man who has ever been known
among us Republicans as a true patriot
and honest man, and a superb soldier,
Winfield S. Hancock.
REPUDIATION.
General Longstreet and the Turkish
Mission.
A Washington special to the Balti
more Sun says: “General Longstreet
arrived in Washington to day to make
the necessary arrangements and receive
his instructions before leaving to take
charge of the United States Embassy at
Constantinople. He had an interview
with Secretary Evarts, who has just re
turned from the East. It did not take
very long to make the General ac
quainted with the duties of his new
position, and he was soon satisfied that
he would be abundantly able to manage
any diplomatic questions which are
likely to arise between our government
and that of Turkey. The Secretary com
municated to him, however, the fact
that the United States only allows the
salary attached for the position, and that
the incumbent must pay his own expenses
going to and returning from his
post. Formerly the government allowed
an outfit; this has been done away with.
Afterwards General Longstreet saw Post
master General Maynard. Mr. Maynard,
who held the position five years, told him
that he would be certain to like it; that
the climate of Constantinople was de
lightful; that it was a very interesting
city; that all the foreign ministers, ex
cept the one sent by the United States,
were rich and got good pay ; that they
all gave big entertainments, at which the
representative of the United States was
invited, and knowing the meagre salary
which he received lie was not expected
to return any of the hospitalities. In
conversation with your correspondent
to might General Longstreet said that he
had turned over the post office at Gaines
ville, Ga., to his successor ten days ago,
but he was to go back to settle up his
accounts. His date of departure for
Turkey has not yet been tixet), but it
will be within the next thirty days.
A Square Fight in the West.—
A Washington dispatch say9 : “A
prominent Eastern Democrat, just re
turned from the West, furnishes some
information in reference to the politics
of that section. In Wisconsin the
Greenback organization, which for three
or four years has been so powerful an
clement, has almost died out, and the
contest will be a square stand up fight
between the Democrats and Republi
cans. There is some talk of ex-Senator
Howe running as the Republican candi
didate for the House from the Sixth dis
trict. In Illinois the contest all over the
State is very lively, but it is in Ohio and
Indiana that the excitement is at fever
heat There were undoudtedly some
heart-burning?, produced from various
causes, among several of the prominent
Democrats in Indiana, and some dissatis
faction with the soft money record of
Landers, the Democratic candidate for
Governor. But all this has been put out
of sight, and there is an earnest deter
mination to keep Indiana to her moor
ings. From now until the day of the
electiou both Indiana and Ohio will be
canvassed as no States have ever been
canvassed before. As to Indiana, it is
claimed that there can be no such word
as fail in the Democratic lexicon, and
the most sanguine hopes are entertained
of the result in Ohio.”
The way for the great fraud of 1876-’
was carefully prepared in advance by the
Republican leaders. Following are sam
ples of their utterances:
The Democrats must not be permitted
to carry the Presidential election.—[Con
gressman Townsend.
If the Democrats carry the Presiden
tial election there will be civil war.—
[Senator Boutwell.
We must make the country believe
that Democracy and reoellion are synony
mous and convertible terms.—[Wm. A.
W heeler.
I would rather see every man, woman
and child in the South put to the sword
than set; the Democratic party restored to
power.—[Zach. Chandler.
The South must be crushed and pau
perized.—[John A. Logan.
A bloody shirt campaign, with money,
and Indiana is safe.—[J. Kilpatrick.
Belknap is a better man than Tilden.
—. [Acit; York Time*.
By frequent reiteration of such senti
ments the conscience of the party was so
deadened that when the Electoral Com
mission reported its infamous findings to
Congress but two Republicans revolted.
They were J. H. Seelye and H. L.

Hard Terms of Peace.
Chili drives a hard bargain with Peru,
but the latter republic will receive little
sympathy. She interfered, without other
reason apparently than to show her pow
er, between Chili and Bolivia, and it was
the promise of her support in all proba
bility that led the latter to a declaration
of war. Her foreign debt, for one-half
of which Chili becomes responsible,
amounts to about $20,000, while the war
expenses of Chili, which Peru is to pay,
cannot be less than $100,000 to $150,000.
To raise this sum will be a severe strain
upon Peru’s already exhausted treasury.
It will take some time to do it, and in
the meanwhile Chili is likely to
hold a portion of the conquered
territory as a guarantee of the
payment. In the telegram from London
giving the conditions of peace between
Chili and Peru, no mention is made of
Bolivia. It may te assumed that that
republic surrenders its entire Pacific
coast to Chili, including the Antifagosta
district, with its nitrate deposits, about
which the war began. This, after all, is
but an inconsiderable loss, as the coun
try stretching back from the sea to the
Cordilleras is a sandy desert. The bur
den of the war falls almost wholly upon
Peru, whose prestige has been lost,
whose regular army and navy have been
destroyed, whose treasury has been
bankrupted, and whose seacoast will
remain practically without defense,
under the terms of the peace, for the
next twenty years.
A Mistake Corrected.
Savannah, Ga., September8.—Editor
Morning Neies: In an article copied
from the Brunswick AdcertUer in your
issue of this date, headed, “Colquitt vs.
Norwood,” the statement is made that
Herschel V. Johnson, an ex-Senator of
Georgia, was in favor of Colquitt,” as
against ex-Senator Norwood.
This statement I know to be untrue,
and in justice to ex Senator Norwood, I
feel it my duty to say that as between
these two, he was decidedly my father’s
choice for Governor.
The fact that my father expressed the
desire to see Governor Brown returned
to the Senate by the next Legislature,
may have confused the author of the
article referred to into the belief that he
endorsed Colquitt also. Such was not
the case. Very respectfully,
T. F. Johnson.

Philadelphia Ledger.
All the readers of tne Public ledger
will bear us out in the assertion that it
has ever and steadily bore evidence
against every species of repudiation p
dishonest in principle and impolitic in
practice. The simple raising of the
question with a view to its discussion is
bad, and, so far as it commands credence,
discreditable tc the government To the
extent that partisan speeches and political
newspapers encourage the idea that op
posing parties are in favor of repudia
tion of any public obligation do they
weaken their own cause and disparage
the credit of the entire country. There
is no party of repudiation in this whole
country, nor can any such principle as
repudiation find party favor. It is, there
fore, as weak as it is false and wicked
to propagate such ideas. The govern
ment, in whosoever hands it may fall,
would never dare to make repudiation a
feature in its administration. That of
itself would sink it, however perfect
otherwise. The New York World has a
sensible and logically reasoned article on
this subject, from which we extract an
idea or two for the consideration of the
general reader, and with no view of
awakening partisan zeal. It says:
“General Arthur, in his letter of ac
ceptance, referred to the repudiation of
the State debt by some of the Southern
States, aud drew the inference that the
Democratic party, if successful, would
refuse to make provision for the pay
ment of the United States bonds. The
point is not a new one, and iu former
campaigns similar assaults have been
made upon the public credit; but there
has never been so determined an effort
as now to excite the fears of business
men. It might naturally occur to them
one might think, that little would be
gained by proving that the party which
numbers a clear majority of the white
voters of the United States is hopelessly
dishonest, or that the making of such
accusations is in itself the heaviest of
blows against the public credit; but,
defiance of every consideration of pru
dence, as well as iu utter disregard of the
facts, the organs and speakers of the Re
pnblican party will go on till next No
vember trying to frighten their readers
and hearers into believing that the busi
ness interests of the country will be im
perilled by a change of administration.
The fact that we have had a Democratic
Congress for the last four years, aud that
a Democratic House of Representatives
gave up its prerogative as defined by the
Republicans themselves, and consented
to the appointment of the electoral com
mission and honestly accepted its dis
honest decision in order to protect and
preserve these very business interests,
must of course go for nothing, and be
cause certain of the Southern States
have scaled or repudiated their debts we
are told that all of the public indebted
ness will be thrown over. The bonds
is?ued by North Carolina, Florida or
Alabama, for instance, in aid of rail
roads, were to a very large extent simply
stolen, and those who bought them ought
to have known the character of the meu
who were for the moment usurping the
authority of those States. But if it were
true that the conduct of certain Southern
States, in refusing to honor the drafts
made upon them, was wholly without
excuse, it would not be safe to reason
from that fact alone, or else it must be
equally sound to draw conclusions from
the repudiation by such Republican
States as Minnesota, or the Granger leg
islation of Wisconsin or Illinois, which
Messrs. Evarts and Stoughton so elo
quently but ineffectually denounced in
their arguments before the Supreme
Court. And. for that matter, a still more
pertinent and recent illustration is given
by Massachusetts in its dealings with the
owners of the Hoosac tunnel. The facts
of the case are beyond dispute. In 18G2
the Legislature proposed to the Troy and
Greenfield Railroad Company, the own
ers of the line of road, .that a State com
mission should complete the tunnel, and
in consideration of the surrender of the
railroad as far as then constructed, partly
in the State of Vermont, the State of
Massachusetts agreed to finish the tun
nel, taking a mortgage as security for
the money expended, and to give the
company a certain number of years to
redeem. At the time it was believed by
all concerned that a right of action ex
isted against the State in all cases of
mortgage, as such a system had been in
force for many years. Two or three years
ago, the tunnel having been opened, the
otlicers of the company proposed to ex
ercise its right of redemption, but the
State Treasurer declined to settle the ac
count The company then prepared to
tender the amount admitted to be due,
and, failing to come to an agreement
even as to the principles upon which the
account should be adjusted, tiled a bill
in equity, as authorized by the statute in
all cases where the State was a mort
gagee of real estate. To this bill the
Attorney General demurred, on the
ground that the statute did not apply to
a railroad, and the State could not be
sued without express authority. The
case was argued. Judge Hoar being one
of the counsel, and, after careful con
sideration, was decided against the com
pany upon the ground taken by the
Attorney General. Chief Justice’Gray
is a very accomplished and learnod law
yer, and it is to be presumed that his
opinion was sound, although the former
Attorney General of the Stale had always
given the opinion that the Legislature
could not give relief, for the reason that
the statute did give the court jurisdiction.
Be this as it may, the company then pre
sented a memorial to the Legislature, iff
which they pointed out that the State of
Massachusetts was in possession of their
property, having obtained possession
under a pledge to give a right of redemp
tion, and that if the Supreme Court did
not have jurisdiction of a suit to redeem,
as had been supposed by every one at
the time, the law ought to be amended
so as to give jurisdiction. A plainer
proposition cannot be stated.” In matter
of contrast between North and South,
the World adds, “In ordinary cases of
repudiation there is some pretence gener
ally of a defense or of want of ability
to pay, but this is a simple act of theft
Now,if any similar instance of shameless
robbery can be found in the history of
any Southern State we shall be greatly
surprised. Until such an instance has
been. discovered wt mu9t continue to
hold that the men of Massachusetts are
no safer custodians of the public honor
than the men of Mississippi.”

We add daily something new, at
Prices that Defy Competition.
At a meeting of tbe Italian adopted
citizens of New York, the present week,
it was announced that the native Italians
and their sons in New York city, about
six thousand of whom are voters, will
support Hancock. The larger part of
the meeting was composed of working
men. One of them announced that
money had been offered already to se
duce them over to Garfield, and he ap
pealed to his fellow workingmen to frown
down and vote down such agencies,and to
preserve their honor and manhood. The
response was loud and united in favor
of sustaining the honest voters and in
bringing those who offer to bribe to
merited punishment.
It should, remarks the Baltimore
Gazette, be peculiarly gratifying to
Southern men that the only well authen
ticated outrages thus far in this cam
paign have happened north of Mason
and Dixon’s line. In two instances
Democratic banners have been torn down
in Vermont, and from Ohio and North
ern Delaware we have reports of Repub
lican attempts to bulldoze colored Demo
crats. From the Buckeye State also
comes a story of lynching which sur
passes in horror anything of the sort that
has ever occurred in the South. In
Scioto township lived a desperate char
acter named Tom McDanieL For years
McDaniel has been a terror to the commu
nity. The other night his neighbors,losing
patience, took him out and hung him.
It does not seem to have made any dif
ference to them that McDaniel had never
committed any crime that warranted
hanging. He had been engaged in a
number of affrays, but had never killed
or seriously injured anyone. He was
simply a disagreeable, unruly man, a
dangerous fellow to tackle in a fight,
and, altogether, an undesirable neighbor.
In order to get rid of him, it was decided
to hang him, and, accordingly, he was
hanged. And yet Ohio enjoys the bless
ings of a Republican government, which,
we are informed, is an unfailing specific
for lawlessness of every kind.
The next session of the United States
Supreme' Court will be held on the 12th
day of October. Among the cases which
will then be argued will be the case of
McBride against the Secretary of the In
terior. This is an action on the part of
the plaintiff to compel a rule to show
cause by mandamus why the Secretary
of the Interior should not confirm the
title to certain Western lands. The
Florida Railroad cases are also to be
argued as well as the Louisiana lottery
case. The latter case is to restrain the
Postmaster General from interfering with
the mails of the company. The next
important case on the docket is the Utah
polygamy case, the decision in which
affect a majority of the people of Utah.
Congressman Beltzhoover, of Pennsyl
vania, pronounces the letter, purporting
to have been written by him, stating that
a pension bill could not be passed be
cause the rebele in Congress were oppos
ed to pensions, as an “infamous for
gery.”
They are agitating in England the abo
lition as useless of carrying colors on the
battlefield, Cogblan and Melville having
died in Zululand in defending the colors
of the Twenty-fourth, and those of the
Sixty sixth being captured by the Af
ghans. But the purpose of such an em
blem is that of utility. In Germany,
France and Austria they fastou iron
crosses to the silken sheet,’and so strong
ly did the Romans love their eagles they
gave them separate tents and surrounded
them with guards, who were looked on
in the light of sacred pnests. Ere the
eagle fell into the hands of an enemy the
soldiers died round its staff.
■Frightful Death of an English
[Sporting Man.—Barry Kemestes, an
Englishman, while out gunning for snipe
Saturday morning, near Sea Girt, N. J.,i
met with a singular and fatal accioent
Not satisfied with the manner in which
his gun discharged, he placed several
wads in it. Upon discharging it the gun
exploded and the plug at the bottom of
the stock entered his head at the top of
the nose, piercing the brain. The
wounded man walked half a mile to the
hotel, suffering terribly. He was taken
with sneezing fits, and at each sneeze
brain matter oozed out. He was alive
when placed on a train to be taken to
New York, but there is no possible
chance of his recovery. Kemestes has
been President of the Walters Club, com
posed of English sporting men, and con
taining one hundred members. He was
well educated and spoke three languages.
ICommodore Nutt Robbed.—Commo
dore Nutt, on Wednesday night, opened
a saloon at No. 512 Sixth avenue.
Among the guests were John Morey, age
twenty one, of No. 92 Watts street, and
a companion. As the Commodore was
passing him, Morey threw one arm
around his neck and held him while he
whispered something in his ear. A few
minutes later the little man discovered
that his watch, valued at $100, the gift
of P. T. Barnum, had been stolen.
(ifficer Graus, of the Twenty-ninth pre-
cinct, arrested Morey, and yesterday
Justice Smith, at the Jefferson Market
IPolice Court, held the prisoner in $1,500
bail for trial. The watch has not been
recovered.—N. Y. Tribune, ‘3d.
Killed by a Pebble.—Mrs. Margaret
Fury came to her death in Providence,
R. L, Sunday, under singular circum
stances. Two young roughs were abu
sing their mother under her window.
Mrs. Fury remonstrated, whereupon
they commenced throwing stones at her,
one of which struck her with such force
that she died in about two hours. A
cursory examination of the body showed
no mark of tbe missile. Tbe boys who
threw the stone, named O’Brien, have
fled.

In our previous advertisement we called
attention to the above named UNLAUNDRIED
SHIRT. It is made of the genuine Wamsutta
Shirting at d the be*t Richardson s Linen. The
front is extra long and lined with pure linen
and reinforced. Even the wrist and collar
bands are of the best iinen. and the fit and
! make up is superior to anything ever,-rotten
I up. In fact, no better Shirt can be made either
at home or by a shirt manufacturer, if you are
willing to pay ten times as much The -price
is ONE DOLLAR. No reduction will be made,
if you buy any quantity. As a proof of the
success we met, we will state that we sold 25
dozen the first day we introduced this 8birt,
and we calculate on selling the first year not
less than
2,500 Doz. of Owl Shirts.
Come and see them at
