THE NEXT rSJUSlDENT A DREW HAT.
An administration paper speaking
of Governor (Hendricks, of Indi
ana, being in favor of disbanding
the Democratic party says: “ Tie
Governor has nearly as much sagac
ity as ambition; and he sees the folly
of trying to olimb to the Presidency
with all the rungs knocked ont of the
ladder.”
The Burlington (Vt.) Democrat
replies to this by saying: “All this
may be trne to the real situation at
present, bnt it doesn’t apply to the
ease in hand. In ‘ 76’ the Demo
cratic party will send a man np
to the White House, but not by the
way of a ladder; he will be a straight
man, and will go up the straight way.
All those that have climbed up some
other way are thieves and robbers.”
Barring the last sentence in the
Democrat’s reply which is pretty
strong, we agree and believe most
candidly that the Democratic party
will send a man to the White House,
whose elevation will not be attaincu
by climbing a ladder with rungs
made of dead men’s bones and sus
tained by the evil spirit of sectional
hatred. Tnat man, if the Democra
cy only remain true to principle, and
we believe they will, will go up the
straight way, and be in a position
by the force of the correctness of
Democratic principles, to restore
peace and.national fraternity to the
country.
Gov. Hendricks is a man of
enough sagacity to see the utter fu
tility ot any effort to organize suo-
oessfnl opposition to the party in
power at the sacrifice of the true prin
ciples] of free government. To in- Mary who sought the sepulchre of
cline towards what is considered the ! ler Cru0lfie<1 8avlor - with her offer-
advanced oentral ideas of the Repub-
lican party is merely to abandon
prinoiple to follow in the wake of
that party. He who wonld follow in
the wake, would, of course, prefer to
fall into the more advanced columns,
’ and go to the front at once. The at
tempt made last year to place the
Democracy in the wake of the He-
pnblican party was too disastrous to
be r.-peated. It drove men, or rather
led them, into the Republican fold
because there was little dissimilarity
between the Cinoinnati-Boltimore and
the Republican platforms. In vul
gar parlanoe, some were thus induced
to “ go the whole hog or none.”
, All the talk we sue in the papers
’ about the “ New Party,” is but the
wish of the enemies of Democracy
which is the father to the thought, of
thus distracting and disorganizing
the Democratic party, expressed in
guileful sophistry to deceive
• and mislead. No true Democrut
' has said anything, or proposer! any
thing, or suggested anything in re
gard to the formation of a new party.
Nor has Gov. Hendricks. He, doubt
less, has not the remotest*idea of
favoring such a stupendous blunder.
He has witnessed enough of such
fol’y in the last Presidential cam
paign. No true Democrat desires to
. repeat a blunder, to call it in terms
* the mildest—a criminal deception on
i the part of trading politicians, but
’ really a blunder on the part of the
Democratic mosses to thus allow
themsolves to be duped.
Three millions of Democrats in
solid phalanx to begin with; with a
a political creed in perfect harmony
with the true principles of free gov
ernment; standing upon a platform
of well-defined and clearly expressed
Jeffersonian sentiments; with perfect
and solid organization throughout
the whole country: we say, with the
Democracy thus arrayed and disci
plined, the traitors in the camp
thrown overboard, with union uud
harmony prevailing among our
friends everywhere, we shall place a
man in the White House, in 1876,
who will not dare to trifle with the
rights of the people, and who will be
sustained by a Congress overwhelm
ingly Democratic.
THE RELATIVE POPULATION OT THE VKI
TED STATES AS TO THE SKIES.
The last census gave us a popula
tion of 38,558,371—the number of
male persons being 19,193,665, and
that of lemales, 19,064,806—the ex
cess of males being 428,758. The
census or 1860 shows an excess of
males of 727,087, say 378,328 more
than the last census.
The following States show an ex
cess of males, 730,861, viz: Arizona,
Arkansas, California, Colorado, Da
kota, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Ilii
-nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken'
tucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis
souri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Texas,
Utah, Vermont, Washington, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
The (ollowing States show an ex-
oess of females, 301,159, viz: Alabama,
Connecticut, Disk Columbia, Geor
gia, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Mississippi, N. Hamp
shire, New Jersey, New York, N.
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode is
land, 8. Carolina, Tennessee, Vir
ginia
Of the first States named
an excess of males, six of them are
Southern, and twenty-three of them
Northern.
Of the latter States named as hav
ing an excess of females, nine are
Southern, and eight are Northern.
Georgia has an excess of 26,199 fe
males.
By these figures, the reader will
perceive that the excess of the male
over the female population predomi
nates in the Northern States, while
the opposite is true in the South.
We do not account for the predomi
nance in numbers of the males in the
Northern States except upon the
principle that the great tide of emi
gration flows there from Europe, and
that a large percentage of the emi
grant element are composed of young
men without families.
By the same figures, we mean the
tables given above, it will be per
ceived that the female ovet the male
population predominates in the
Southern States. The excess of fe
males in toe South may he attributa
ble to the great loss of the males in
the late war, which has not been made
up by European emigration.
These are curious facts and figures,
worthy to be. studied. The excess of
males at the North and of the females
at the South would seem to indicate
the need of a closer union between
the two sections.
” MEMORIAL DAY."
The ladies almost everywhere are
making arrangements and prepara
tions for the proper observance of
“ Memorial Day.” True to the no
blest instincts of the human heart,
the women of the South are always
true to the memories of the past glo
ries of the good, the noble, the chiv
alrous and the patriotic. As it was
l^having
ings, when others had betrayed and
deserted him, so it is with the Ma
rys ot the South who repair to the
graves of our noble Confederate dead
once a year to commemorate their
virtues, their heroism and their pa-
tiiotism, and to bestrew the humble
mounds that mark their resting
places with garlands and wreathes of
spring’s most beautiful flowers.
This is right; it is divine, because
such sentiment can only emanate and
live in hearts inspired by tne noblest
traits of mankind, who, made in the
image of the Creator, must exhibit in
his bottcr nature sentiments in unison
with the divine goodness. Woman is
the embodiment of that nature. By
reason of her devotion to the higher
and nobler sentiments of the heart,
sho clings with veneration to those
memories that remind ns of the noble
deeds of the human race.
But for the self-saorificing devotion
of the women of the South in the
late war, tho “ Lost Cause” could not
havo been sustained boyond the
second yeur. Sho clothed our armies
and ministered to the sick and wound
ed, and her prayers, from hearts as
pure as purity itself, ascended to
heaven for the success of .that cause.
None were nioia. self-denying, and
none sent our braves away to the field
of carnage with greater love and pa
triotism for tlioir country than they.
They gave up their fathers, their hus
bands, their sons aud their kindred,
trusting to God for their safe return
and to tho Right for victory.
Then, how natural is it that our
fair and beloved women should com'
memorate with subdued sentiment
and affectionate tribute the day set
apart by general consent to gatlur
around the graves of the brave and
lost, and decorate them with flowers
thus made to speak tho languago of
the tenderest love of country and for
its defenders 1 But for the women,
the memories of noble deeds would
be forgotten amidst the rushing tide
of life which fust bears us from them,
leaving them in the dim past as
things almost forgotten aud but little
cherished.
Let tho women, the guardian
angels, os it were, that hover over cur
destiny and direct our best impulses,
weave the beautiful garlands and lay
them upon the graves of our noblest
and truest and our best beloved—for
it is an offering as beautiful, as sacred,
as divine as heaven can bestow and
angels dispense.
civil stsrici reform.
The Washington Chronicle, ad
ministration organ, in reply to' the
charge that, although Gen. Grant
was re-elooted upon his promises of
civil reform,which ne has thrown over
board since, says such is not true, but
that the President will not abandon
any practical meaus of reforming the
civil service. It is to be hoped that
he will succeed in his good inten
tions. The field for reform is large
in which he may distinguish himself
very greatly.
ihl Democratic Party.
The following article, ^.rililisbed in the
Saa Antonio (Texas) Herald, is re-pub
lished in Tna Sea by request. Iu trans
ferring it to onr columns, we take oc
casion to say there is a great deal of
truth in what is said, ea[ ecially in th>
last paragraph. Whatever of difference
existed in the Democratic ranks lost fall,it
is to be hoped will no longer divide the
party. What is most to be dee.rcd by
ell true Democrats is, that tnere shall be
no more disturbing elements ii trodueed
iuto cm counsels:
Bis Astosio, Much si, :tn.
Editor. Herald: A quotation in your
journal from a Louisville paper states,
that Senator Jason B. Brown, ot Indiana,
was a lesdidg actor id theLouiavlie (Jon

pointment “ as a recognition for eeekin
to create a split in bis own party.” 1
mast be expected that each el the fonr

state the actions of those who . eemed
themselves justified in supporting the
“straight-out" ides. Bat fads so no

tW~ Notwithstanding the sharp
criticisms of a few—a very few—crit
ics adverse to “Clifford Troup,” four
thousand copies of the work have
been sold in three weeks, the best
kind of evidence of it* power and
popularity.
The Washington Chronicle
says the Southern Claims Commis
sion will probably sit all summer,
aud that it is stated that a larger
number of claims than ever before
will be presented to Congress next
fall
their disguit and auger, openly identi
fied tiiemoeivea witli tee Helical party.
Ho fur as any devel tpmeuls have been
made, only two delegates (and they
prominent actors) iu the Louitvdle Con
vention, have declared their affiliation
with the Radical party. It ie possible
both of them may receive and accept
Federal officea.
Of the Cincinnati delegates, it is as
serted, two-thirds ore again in the bosom
of the Badical party, and in fall faith
aud fellowship.
The quadrilateral press (now''ndepend
ent) which sought to destroy even the
nsme oi the Democratic pur'y, succeeded
only iu creating a tempor. ry uunoraliza
tion; aud, to-day, some ol the most
strenuous advocates of Mr. Greeley are
the firmest opponents of any further do
parture, aud decline to adhere to or tol
crate any polioy other than a atrict or
ganization upon Democratic principles.
And in this work there will not be louud
supporters more siuoere aud euergetic
than the tour or five hundred delegates
of the Louisville Convention, and the
million of voters, who refused to oBat
then vo es iu November.
The adherents to prinoiple care noth
ing oa to wliat individuala shall fill the
offices, and not being office aeekere them
selves, they do not care a rash for the ill
will ot those politicians who were disap
pointed last yeur in their expectations of
plunder or honors.
The masses of the party are folly eon
vinced that a million voters, who held
aloof, are worthy of more consideration
than the soattering thousands who op
pose Geu. Grant, aud yet insiat npon ab
sorbing tbe Democratic organization and
name in their own skeleton ranks.
The Mobile Register has ably argued
this question, and defines what will be
the action of the party in the various
State conventions. The result will justi
fy the prediction, that over three mil
lions of voters will oompaotiy march
ahead, under the same old banner, and
that the ostracised Rudiouts, who are
honest in desiring reform, will not listen
to any prejudice, bnt will nni.e with and
support tho old Demoor tioorganization.
And the day will yet come, when even
those Democrats who are still sore sud
disappointed, will confess that tbe deieat
of last November was the Salvation o’
Democratic principles, which, as well os
the party name, wonld inevitably have
been destroyed if the ooalition hud suc
ceeded and Lad placed in office thousand,
who hod no other o .minon motive than
solf-advanoemeut, and, if they possessed
principle, must have entertained ideas so
diametrically opposed as to prevent the
slightest chanoe of future tiarmony.
Real Democrats, therefore, however
they may havo differed last vear, either
upon questions of policy or expedieney,
will insist absolutely upon a cessation ol
all bickering; and those who attempt to
embroil. the organization or to split it
iuto factions, will find ibemuelves crushed
ruder the united and harmoniously em
phatio condemnation of the musHes,
whenever that voioe can be heard.
If principles are to govern, tbe Demo-
orals have a bright future before them,
Each can best promote sucoess by for-
getting past difference of opinion.

A JUST AND BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE.
In another column of The Sun
to-day we publish a beautiful and ap
propriate tribute from tne Sunday
School of tho First Methodist Church
to the memory of the lamented John
R. Hampton. No words of ours can
add to the meed of heurtfelt love and
admiration of the noble, Christian
character, exprsssed upon the page
that has been devoted to thus per
petuate his memory. It is sublimely
beautiful—it is eminently fitting and
just. For who that knew Mr. Hump
ton, either os tho man of business or
as a friend, will not accord to him all
and in tne highest and strictest sense,
every characteristic therein to him
ascribed.
He did not live for the honors of
men, save us they came iu admiration
of duties well performed. The aim
of his existence was to do good on
earth. Not upou the highways did
he fulfill this mission; But in the
quiet walks of life. And if his name
has not been registered npon the
scroll of fame, it is ineffoceably im
planted within many a heart, and on
the eternal register of the just, and
upon the books of the Savior of men.
His life was a pattern of the true
Christian on earth, and his death a
tranquil passage of the soul from
earth Heavenward. But his death is
as the death of every good man—a
public calamity.
