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. H. S.
