AND MORE THAR TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION! Not ft aingle Damoorat Toted to confirm Sbermftn u Secretary of tbe Treasuary. Tn New York banka bate reduced their capital #6,550,000 during the peat year on aoeonnt of the taze*. Southbun IUdicsl Bin stohs.—They threaten, If Nioholla and Hampton arc recognized, they will aid in the defeat of Kellogg and Corbin for the Senate. In two yearn they will not have tbe power to do anything, for they will be kicked oat. New Ham-anim Election.—ltetarm ere not inffloient to indicate a Tiotory for either aide. The Republican rote has fallen off nary alightly. Dad weather kept many from the polla. There ia room for hope for a Democratic Tiotory, bnt it would juat be tbe luck of the party to be defeated. Dr Hr. Erarta holda the offloa of Secre tary of State four yearn, then New York will hare furnished the Secretary for twenty-eight yearn in nnbrokan auooea- aion, excepting the four yearn of Bnch- anan'a adminiatration, and tbe one month when Elihu B. Waahburne waa Secretary under Orant, The Herald haa in Tented a theory, whinh it takea a whole page to work out, with the aid of dlagtamu, that the ateamer George Cromwell waa blown up by dyna mite. The ground for thia hypotheaia ia the faot, or allegation, that the bodiea waahed aabore were muoh mntilated, and that aome of the fragmenta of the cargo bore trace* of fire. It ia new aaid that General Joe John aton will be United State* Uamhal for Virginia. When politically dlaabled he declined the tempting offer of the com maud of the Khedire’aarmy, with a a ala ry of #50,000 a year, beoauae he prefer red, aa he aaid, to line and die an Ameri can eitiaen. He now ekea ont a support by a life inenranoe agenoy. Too Hucn roa Old Moxt.—The Uem oerate had a majority in the Senete and Horton declined to raise his ain-blaated form and present the oleims of Kel logg. They would here been rejeoted too soon for mention. Morton is weiting for bia own orowd, bnt it la hardly probe- able be can pnll through Kellogg at thia aaaaion. New Election.—Blaine and bia faction now faror a new election in South Caro. line and Louisiana. They fear that His Frauduleney may not rcoognizo Chamber lain and Packard. KnowiDg be was de rated by a cheat and swindle they fear their own friends rney be treated in tbe seme style. Suppose they try a new elec tion for Heyee. There would to soma fun in that. Tna Now York Sun says tbe Tital prin ciple of ltepublioanism is cheating at alectiouB, and of this corner stone Uayea did not speak in bis inaugural. Gen. Dix adriaes Hayes to break down the Senate and deprire Congressmen of all inllueuoe In appointments, to restore apeoio pay ments, and to eonoiliete the South; but he no where advises him to make any fight against oheating in eleotiona. What It Ia.—Hon. Hamilton Fish thinks Hayes' poliey ia “home offices to home men.” Hon. A. H. Stephens thinks if be will giro these offices to men of charmoter and then let the Bonth alone, the country will be prosperous. Offices extended on prinoiple—fitness end ohar- aotar—ragardloaa of party, ba ia of tbe opinion Demoorata oan accept. Hardly, for the doubtful association will linger aronnd them. UcooaNizna Nioholls.—The Federal generals at least seem to raoognize Mich oils aa GoTernor of Louisiana. A soldier charged with murdering auotber was do- liTered to tbe Nioholls policemen. The press agent telegraphs from Washington to thia effeot. This may be true but the offloera would hardly do an aot of this kind unleaa they were guided at least by general orders which allowed a considers ble lattitnde for judgment. Gbant Connected with the K«al Estate Pool.—The report of Hr. GloTer, chairman of the Congressional oommit tee on thia subject, establishes the faot that ex-Preaidaut Grant was a partner in the real estate pool that oost the people of the United States million* of dollars. Thtae speculators, with Boss Shepherd it their heed, who got possession of the gov- emmeut of the District of Columbia and uaed their powers to institute a aeries of extrcTagaut end unnecessary improve ments, wbiob were characterized by every imaginable speoiea of jobbery. The object of these expenditures was to add to tha market value of a large extent of land whioh the ring or real eatata pool had bought mainly on credit to hold fore future rise. The report ia very long and supplies other information bearing upon tha operations of these robbers of poblio monies. h —His Fraudnlsney haa four modernise at least in hie Cabinet. They were Liberals in 1872. Hr. Bcburz was the leader of the movement that nornina- ted Greeley. Hr. Everts took no pert iu that campaign, bnt waa understood to be opposed to Grant. In a poblio epeeob.in New York, be denounced Grant's South ern poliey and demanded the recall of troops from Bonth Carolina. In 1874 he supported Tilden for Governor, but against General Dix, and it ia really thought he voted for Greely in 1872. Hr. Key was in 1872, as now, an openly oon- femed Democrat. Judge Devena waa known to be opposed to Grant’s Southern policy, and openly supported Gaston, (Democrat) for Governor, opposed Bat ter for Coo grass, and waa once on tha Democratic ticket himself, and is regard ad ia one of tha moat liberal of Liberals. THOUGHT* OF THE DAT. He who in tha Bonth now multiplies the forms of labor so as to give inoretaed employment to aa many human beings aa possible ia a benefactor to bia race and eountry. Never haa than been a time in the history of Columbus, whan tha antira population, with the exception of the lax- zaroui, who prefer stealing to honest toil, wee so anxious to do something to earn a deoent livelihood. The wants of poverty have crushed out much of the pride pf place and former positions, end high and low are anxious to pursue some avoeetion that at least will furnish necessities. Even tbe majority of the oolored loafing population has abandoned tha old hsnnts of idleneaa and crime to till the fields. Need has forced this measure, and will yet oause more of them to abandon the towns snd cities. Many of our young men, and older ones, who formerly en- gagod in merchandizing ara now occupied in cultivating the lend, and finding a bnsinoss far more oongenial to their testae and pockets. The mercantile ranks are too crowded with employees, snd strange to say tbe number is constantly being replenished from the country. It is eingultr how pa rents and relatives oan oonsent for their youth to resign the free, useful end hon orable profession of the farmer to aasome the drudgery of a subordinate position in the towns, where by local association they drive from similar posts those who unfor tunately were born in the oities, poor and totally ignorant of tha country and its oc cupations. This superabundance of deiki ia tbe greet cause of the low wages, and the source of loud wailings that in this lend it ia impossible to rise as in tbe hal cyon days of yore. The statement may be made, why do not the town boys exchange pleees? The reason is very simple. They are unfitted for it beoauae of training and education. In tba vast majority of oases they are compelled to ho employed in active business pursuits before they can finish tbe eduoation sup plied by our splendid school system. They have no money to buy lands, no inflnen- tial friends to lift them op life's ladder. Trades alone are open to them. They must commence on the bottom rounds and slowly asoend. They know nothing of hoeing or plowing of corn or ootton,of wbeu to plant or the proper time to gather. Their whole existence hex been passed within the narrow limits of the town and business. After reach iog e certain stage, they enoounter tbe crowded influx of which we have spoken. Tbe parents or friends of eonntry lads, having means and influence desire them to bo commercial men. The merobeut, to secure their trade, takes (he boy at a nominal sum, and tbe poor town fellow finds himself out of a situation, or his meagre salary knocked down to lower limits. The ranks of ooramerce are thUB over crowded evory where—from Maine to California—and the present depressed trade compels retrenchment, snd lienoe wo find thousands ont of em ployment. Iu agrioultnre the field iB un bounded. Its limits are wide as the poles and its resonroes measureless. All who know auythingof it oan earn subsiatsnoe; the prudent amaaa independence, end the true farmer, not a mere planter, is the freest man on earth. No nobler occupa tion oan be found. At one’s own home be oan have every appliance that oan com fort, improve or bless. We need more Hkilled producers, (hose who will make the land flourish where before it was ster ile. Id its last analysis agriculture is the main source of ell the wealth of the ooun- try. The class which suffers most of all in this country, are those females who have known aome dogree of wealth, but are now reduced to extreme poverty, and still have that false or real prido which tries to keep up appearanoeB. This feeling is common the world over. Iiouaeslmay be left them, a passable appearance may be made on the streets, but at borne they often laok bread. The terrible anguish of suoh may be imagined, for they have the intellect end eduoation whioh makes them peer into the future with intensest apprehensions of fear. It oaueea sleepless nights and tbe keenest anxiety—almost tbe hopelessness of despair. Eking out an exiateuce.by sewing or similar employ ment, they barely subsist from day to day aud tbe harrowing tbought of coming ill is omnipresent. If our mou of enterprise and wealth oould establish some manufactory or in- dustral school whioh, while payings reas onable per oentage oould afford occupa tions not too burdensome, it would be orowded with females, who would gladly take situations with the warmest expres sions of gratitude. The factories are orowded. More ere seeking places there than can be accommodated. Knitting es tablishments, a clothing bureau, and similar institutions whioh would not re quire heavy outlays, aud yield dividends iu the process of time, would relieve the distress of hundreds, end solve the problem of Bontbern inde pendence. At tbe same time, they would prove grand charities, for they would fur nish labor for the needy, and awake prayers to heaven for tbe prosperity end happiness of those who have thus blessed their kind, while tbe owners themselves are being benefitted. Hundreds are too proud to ask aliua. They would eagerly, hopefully avail themselves of the opportu nity to work. Wealth can be obtained in Colnmbns as well as elsewhere. The rieheat have laid down tbe axiom. It ia live within inoomes. Those having means will be the true benefactors of Columbus who build up suoh industries as to enable other* to make incomes. Ha. Hates told Congressmen Banning and Bice, of Ohio, who called to see him on tbe anbjeot, if there most be an extra session of tbe lions*, it would be called for about tbe 1st of June, sod that aban don! nottoe would be given tn bis procla mation. He was not satisfied that an extra session was neosasary, and he wonld not call one until be had consulted with his constitutions! advisors. Chief-clerk Croeby, of the War Department, does not see how any funds oan be provided to moat requisitions upon tbe Secretary of the Treasury unless an appropriation ia made to enable him to honor them. Hence he thinks an extra session is inevi table. Under a clause of tbe Revised Statutes, sections 211) and 220, tbe Secre tary of War might, by implication, go forward aud make purchases for subsis tence and clothing and prescribe regula tions for transportation; bnt be oould do no more than give vouchers to the parties crediting the Government,and they wonld have to wait nntil the money to oover thorn was dnly appropriated by Congress, which praotice was resorted to sometimes daring the late war. A sum amounting to many millions wonld be required to meet the demands of the army nntil Con gress met, end the creditors of the Gov ernment would have to lie out of thia money nntil the appropriation was made, Bully Blaine.—He went too fast and is now sorry of it. Horton and the rest are rejoicing. Horton’s idea was to talk for Kellogg end not against Hayes, and take up the Senators in order—Kellogg, Hot gan and Grover—and if necessary refer them all to the committee. Blaine knocked the whole arrangement into a cocked hat by his ill-tempered and brazen speech, sounding like a fire alarm at mid night to awaken sectional bate. Biaina now explaiua his effort was not against the Cabinet, bnt to defoat tbe maobina. tions of tbe Republicans who were en deavoring to compel a resignation in Sontb Carolina without authority—from bia Frauduleney. Weak excuse, this. We gladly accept bis apology if by bis course he has defeated Kellogg. Nobodx need grieve for Mr. Tilden, rays the New York Sun,be fought against one hundred thousand office holders, the entrenohed Rings of tho Republican party, and tho millions of money at their command; he was assailed with violenoe and followed with lies; the army was nsed against him, and the negroes were rallied to the aid of the Fraudulent party. But the people gave him a handsome majority of the Electoral Colleges, two hundred and fifty thousand majority of all the votes and one million majority of the ‘white votes, triumphantly electing him their President. Surely there is no oause for mourning iu this, but for rejoicing at so complete a vietory and so great a vindication of pop ular suffrage. Tbe mourning should be beoauss the minority succeeded by fraud in depriving him of bis office, and that all men, of whatever party, who pretend to respect justice and equity do not feel themselvea outraged by snob a result. Evesy indication, says tbe Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, and, indeed, direct communication with Blaine bimself, justifies tbe assertion that he wisbea be had not made bis speech tbe other day with so much anti-administra tion in it. He begius to see that Morton's course was tbe wisest, which is, “to talk for Kellogg and vote for Kellogg, but to make no reference to the similarity of his title papers to those of Hayes.” _ Ho has aent his friends to hedge for him aud they are industriously denying any infer- renee drawn from tbe two reoent speeches which put him iu the attitudo of opposi tion to Hayes. His friends are also alarmed at tho tone of the press disap proving of Blaine's threatening language, culminating in a reported private an nouncement that he would teach tbe new Andy Johnson a lesson. Indeed, this is the ease with all the reoaloitrauta. The verdiet'of the Coroner’s Jury on the Ashtabula disaster is unexpectedly clear, precise and full. It lays the re sponsibility for the accident on the rail road company, for the following reasons : Because the fell of the bridge wsb due to defects and orrora in designing, construct ing snd erecting it; because tbe company need the bridge for eleven years, “daring all of which time e careful inspection by a competent engineer oonld not have failed tu discover these defects;" because the chief exeoutive officer planned and creeled the bridge, and because tbe com pany violated a statute of Ohio which re quires that heating apparatus shall be so constructed that tbe fire in it would be immediately extinguished whenever the oars are thrown from the track. NlitOTK. THE POLICY OF THE SOUTH. Haves’ Bouthebn Pouox.—Even the Chioago Inter-Ocean is willing that Hayes should fully test hiB Southern policy and his “misguided Southern brethren,” bnt predicts a failure. Benator Bruce, oolor ed, of Mississippi, warmly approval it as a means of uniting the land owner* and the laborers, severed by the effort! of the carpet bagger. Hia Frandnlenoy by show ing a determined front has effectually de feated the extromieU. The suppressed lightnings will flash ont after awhile, and his Frauduleney will find that obtaining the Presidency by fraud ia not lying on a bed of roeas. Jobes Janin’s duel with Dumas )iere was singular. Half an hour was occupied plaoing the parties iu position. Jsnin asserted that it waa positive murder for Dumas to select the sword, not knowing how to use it. Janin predioted he wonld apit him as a woodcock, aud regretted he could not afterward swallow him like that bird. Dumas then selected pistols, being able to snuff out s candle at thirty paces; but then, be remarked, it would be positive murder for J auin to use a pis tol, never having had oue in his hand in hia life. Tbe antagonism laughed, shook hands, and remaiued fast friends ever afterward. Stolen ebou the Confedebate Con stitution.—The partisans of His Fraud- ulenoy stole the Presidency for him, aud he accepted it with “ell that it implies.’’ While be bad his hand iu he committed another theft. He took from the Cousti tution of the Confederate Slates the pro vision extending a Presidential term to six yaars and forbidding a re-election, and, palming it off in bia inaugural as original, reoommeuded ila adoption in the Constitution of tbe United Slates. He ought at least to give the oredit to tbe Confederates, after stesliug the offloe which belonged to another. Penkstlvaku.—The Republican can cua yesterday nominated Don Cameron to succeed his father aa Senator. Thia is equivalent to an aleotion. The same can ons endorsed Heyee; yet Hayes refused to put Cameron in his Cabinet. Fur ways that ara dark sad tricks that an vain the average Republican is now peculiar. New Yob*, Matdf 6,1877, Editor of Enquirer-Sun, Columbus, Oa.: Deab Bib—To get a correct idea of the true inwardness of onr National politics, in tbeir present mixed oondition, one shonld be in this oity and mingling with the party leaden end others that speak with authority. Bring the foens of every- thing, whioh truly represent* life of the country end the oentra towards which pulsate all the sentiments and passions of the nation, near enough to the Capital to catch the spirit of the oonfliet, bnt suffi ciently remote to escape the amoke whioh clouds it. New York affords a good bar ometer a moat accurate one of the feel ings of the oountry. Thia has tempted one having good op portunities of studying tha anbjeot and after oltlng the view* of some eminent men, to write briefly on the etatns of Sonthern leaden and its effeot upon the the party and oonntry, aa viewed from a Northern standpoint. The Bonth having onoe again become the great balano* wheel of the National politics at it bra long been, of tbe Nation al commercial prosperity, the source of the balano* of trade; onoe again the great stronghold of the noble old Damooratio party, posaeaaed onoe again of self-government and at lut, from Maryland to Texas, a “Solid Bonth,” it behooves tha people in their momenta of exaltation for what they have, wholly un aided, aohieved, to oonsider carefully the situation, to gird themselves for the great oonteat that is yet to come before the final work of the redemption of the whole land has been aooompliehed, end above ell, for no moment, to relax vigilance, bnt jealously to keep watch over their publio servants and repreaentatives that they be not seduced by tbe blandishments, flatteries and glittering rewards wbiob will no doobt be lavished upon the lead ers among them to gain their support to tho fraudulent Administration that rules for the next four year*. To ell thonghtfnl Demoorata tbe gravest apprehension is, that many so-called lead ers of tbe Sonthern wing may be beguiled by the blandishments of the Radical sharpen, who have proved themselvea as smart and canning as they are nnacrapn- loua, to so far forget their allegianoe to section and party as to land, at lout, quasi support to the bogus Government which is being set up over tbe expressed will of the people. Apart from tbe sentiment, this would be fraught with positive dan ger, for the next House of Representa tives is so close that it requires the defeetion of but few Demoorata to give tho control and organiza tion into the hand of the enemy. We einoerely hope that these forebodings prove unfonnded, and were it not for tbe experience of the put two months it would seem hardly oredible that, in the Representatives of this historie strong hold of Demooraey, of the aeetion whioh gave Ur. Tilden two-thirda of hie electo ral vote and thro-fonrths of the popular majority, expressing the oonfidenoe of the people in himself and tha grand old par ty, distrust should be greatest; that among these Representatives should be found those to first desert tbe ranks aud join that party with whioh have been rightly identified all we know of oppres sion end implacable hatred; that among this class of all others Hayes and his ma nipulators should be outing about to gain strength, and add vigor to the effete and dying party of plunder. Ought it not to be enough to make all honest Southerners and Democrats hang their heeds in shame to see men whom we have trusted as leaders foreswear princi ple and manhood, and for a few sops of offioial patronage, subsidies aud oppor tunities of publio plunder, give support to this iniquity even to aoeepting positions in tbe Cabinet of a President whose sole claim to the office reete on barefaced fraud, and that very fraud perpetrated di rectly on the people of these Bontbern Btstes. But everywhere there are selfish men and weak men, and men who stand ready to barter prinoiple for patronage, and of these the Bonth, unfortunately, contaiua its due proportion. Pesos and honest home rule are of oourse primary considerations with the Boutb, but ia there not anoh a thing as sacrificing too muoh for tba format? For tbe latter she preotioally has already, and that, whioh is laeking, will soon be aooom pliehed without help from the perjured Administration now oommenoing. How frequently one hears the remark made by some snperoiiione Republican, in a tone m if speaking of spoiled ohildran who were to be pnniahad, that “Hayes will be lenient towards the Bonth,” and none ought to excite greater indignation In the breaat of a true Damoorat. What do the people of Georgia, of Alabama, of Mis sissippi or of Arkansas care for hia len- ieney, who never raised voice in their be half when really needed. They are not afraid of bis feeble power and ought to have no favors to ask of him. South Carolina and Louisiana will be safe enough. Hayea dare not lay hie hand on them. His own seat acquired by fraud ia too inaeoore to allow of help to Cham berlain or Packard and thee* bogus con cerns mast soon die of inanition. Even if some leaden bp willing to sell the honor of their States and barter tbeir own manhood for a dip in tha “flash-pots” is it, looked at from a purely economic standpoint, a good bargain for tba State ? For example, what advan tage is it to Georgia, that Urge sums be stolen from the National Treasury by subsidies to enrieh some contractors ou tbe Mississippi levees ? Or to Alabama, that many millions from the asms sonree be squandered on n “Pacific’’ Railway in Texas and New Hexiso, for the benefit of Tom Scott and the Penn sylvania Railroad ? Or to oome nearer home, what ii the profit to yonr people generally that one of your Benatom ehould have the bestowal of a few poatoffioe* or revenue oollectorahips ? Unhappily there ara many man, and even influential ones, to whom these baits of easy position and fat sinacuraa are vary tempting, and the grand work of an honest press is to guard that, to thair’i greed, they do not aaorifioe the honor of the State. It is rad to have suoh things to writ*, bnt all know for true, that ever sines November the olog and hamper upon tha National Damooratio party, bag bean tha nltra-conaervatiem and timidity of some Bontbern leaden, that to this, more than all oombined efforts of Morton, Chan dler and Sherman, has been due onr de feat—that bad these leaders not weakened bnt been firm in ibe right, Hr. Tilden would be now peaoeably in bia seat, tha acknowledged President of tha United States. As wm remarked to me, by one of our most prominent and aagaoloua publio men, “Tbe Electoral Commission, for coanting the votes, would never have been devised were it not that it wax feared our men from tbe South oould not be trusted to stand firm for tha rights vested by the Constitution in (he House.” The above remark* apply of course only to the politioUns,fortnnately behind them there is a greater power, the people them selves, whose hearts are always in the right piece and whose strong voioe, speak ing in no ambignoua language, most keep weak-kneed Representatives nerved up to the demands of dnty, indifferent to threats and soorning all bribes, however so tempting. But that the masses be en lightened to their true welfare, ever vigi lant so to their rights, that they be not stolen from them and traded in by oily tongned demagogues require* faithful in structors, an over vigilant monitor. And to be this monitor is the uored, peculiar, paramount duty of that watehful sentinel over onr liberties, the free press of the oountry. And now we rely upon it to fearlessly speak and let its infinenoe be felt, to give and oourage to oar sadly tried friends who have stood np for the right and to strengthen those who are waver ing. As that valiant, true and steadfast paper “The New York Sun" says, “We oall on the opposition press of the oountry to gird on their armor and sharpen their swords for the warfare all along tho line against tbe fraud.” J.
