Pennsylvania Correspondence,
Tbc Diflereuce Between Republican and
llemocrstlc Principles—The Great
Speech of Ben II11I.
Lioonier Valley, Pa., )
August 19, 1879. j
Editor Courier—The great differ-
ence in the principles of the parties has
never been as clearly defined as during
the extra session of Congress. The Re
publicans are still busily and persist
ently engaged in’ the prosecution of
their same old warfare, an d a “looker-
on in Venice” would be almost forced
to the inference that armed hostilities
were yet progressing between the two
sections of the Union. The Republi
cans are Gghting for the continuance of
a military despotism; the Democrats
ire fighting for constitutional govern
ment. On the Republican side the
fight is led by Blaine, Chandler and
ConUlog, while the Democrats are led
by Thurman, Hill and Lamar. The
three former represent the idea of a
strong central government wherein the
few rule, or desire to rule the many;
the three latter represent a government
wherein the people are the supreme
rulers. The result is this: The Repub
licans in advocating a government of
that kind virtually take the ground that
the people are incapable of self-govern
ment—an idea too flatly at war with
sound Democratic principles and sound
patriotism to be constitutional in this
country; for although the Republican
party is still in power—still at the helm
of the government—the Republican
Met is by no means any longer in the
ascendant. That party claims to have
been born for several purposes. In
this it is right. One of the objects of
'is birth was to abolish slavery. In
that, and in that alone, it has succeed-
**• In everything else it has signally
failed, Its war U p 0n tjj 0 rights of the
'tales, which it has been prosecuting
01 eighteen yours, and which it renew-
M with such vigor during the extra
'ession, haB ended in an ignominious
Republican defeat and a splendid tri

pended in vain. We have now hinted
at the difference in the principles of the
parties and outlined the nature of the
fight progressing between them, and
while the Democratic party deserves
credit for the manly fight it made du
ring the last Congress, yet there are a
few who deserve but veiy little credit,
and whom we most devoutly hope the
people will “spot” in the future when
they seek re-election. The Democratic
party doesn’t want any halfway patriots
to represent it. Let them be sent to the
rear.
And now, Mr. Editor, we come to
notice the great speech of Ben Hill.
First, however, permit us to tender our
heart-felt thankB to Col. Evan P. How
ell, of the Atlanta Constitution, for
three copies of that elegant effort. And
now to the speeoh. It was announced
up here some time since that the speech
of Senator Hill was to be used as a Re
publican campaign document; but after
reading the speech we are unable to
see the point in that direction. The
speech is a masterly effort, calm, digni
fied, eloquent and strictly patriotic
from beginning to end. It is the most
powerful argument in favor of the rights
of the States and against military inter
ference with the rights of the people we
have ever read. His patriotic utter
ances and powerful argument, whioh
no system of logic can overthrow, shine
out in happy contrast with the untena
ble platitudes of the vile and ignorant
Republican partisans who made a feeble
attempt to meet the brave and bold
ohampion of Southern principles. This
speech of Senator Hill is virtually an
other Democratic triumph. If this
speech is to be used as a Republioan
campaign document, as has been an
nounced, wo would be pleased to have
some good Republican refer us to the
points in it from whioh the party lead
ers Intend to extract capital. Speak up,
gentlemen, and show us the points. We
wouldn’t stop much to offer a reward
for them. Keystone.

London, August 23.—President Mat
thews, of the Alpine Club, writes from
•Zermatt, Switzerland, saying the re
mains of Dr. Wm. O. Mosely, _of Bos
ton, who met his death recently in the
Alps, have been buried in the church-
ard of the English church at Zermatt,
uesides other victims of former acci
dents on the Matterhorn, and that his
effects have been forwarded to the
American Consul at Geneva. The roll
account of the calamity shows that Dr.
Mosely had been complaining of the
restraint of the rope throughout the ex
cursion, and had with difficulty been
prevented from releasing himself soon
er. At a point on the descent, distant
about twenty minutes’ walk from the
hut, the rope was taken off, : Dr, Mose-,
ly, shortly afterward, refusing the
guide’s proffered help, endeavored
vault over a projecting rock, stuinb
and fell into the snow beneath, do
which he slipped on his back. He at
most succeeded in stopping himself
with his elbows, but Resurface of the
snow was unfortunately frozen. His
body wftfl found 2,0C0 foot below from
where the accident happened.

The New Stock Speculations,
The new combination method of op
erating in stocks which Messrs. Law
rence & Co., Bankers, N. Y., have inau
gurated, is attracting unusual attention
in financial circles, by reason of its re
markable success. A customer in
Providence, invested nine times, and
made over $5,000 in three months, by
using from 850 to 8500 capital. By
this system, orders from thousands of
customers, in various sums, are pooled
into one immense capital, and operated
as a mighty whole, thus giving to eaoh
shareholder all the advantages of vast
capital and Bhrewdestskill. Profits are
divided every 30 days. Any amount
from 810 to 475,000 can be used in
Messrs. Lawrence & Co.’s combinations
with equal proportionate success. 815
will make 875 profit in the month.
8200 will return 81.600, or 8 per oent.

An Amended Proposition.
It occurred in Bodie, that city of
whisky, wealth and wickedness. A
case was on trial in the Justice’s oourt
and during a recess one of the inter
ested parties approached a juror and
said:
“Sav, boss, if that ar suit goes agin
is I’m nigh 82,000 loser in minin’
roperty. Now, I’ll give you an even
500 to hang that jury.”
Tho inoorruptible scion of Ameri
can liberty reflected a moment and re
plied :
“It’d be a cussed onsartin job for one
man to take a rope an’ strangle that
hull gang, an’ I’m afraid afore I get
through I mout dance a jig under it
myself; but if it’s all the same to you,
pard, I mout wade in thar with a six-
shooter an’ wipe out the crowd. Tbat’d
be more to my hand than hanging, an’
the job could be done quicker. If that’s
satisfactory, produce the coin an’I’ll

A Remarkable Letter from J. A. Tucker,
Esq., manufacturer of the Ray
9tate Superphosphate.
Messrs. Weeks end Potter; afotlemon — I
think I have paid lor mediolnes and medical
treatment during tho loot twenty yesrs all of
ihrte thousand dollars, without receiving any
permanent relief.
Last May, while taking a Turkish bath at 17
Beaoon BL, a young man employed there by the
name of Wm. Oorbott induced me to allovraim
to apply & preparation that , he had ,ppon me,
assuring me that it woe perfectly harmless, and
for a certain ooiislSekatfod .kdiMfoUBVlt* me
within.thirty days Irom the linmJio pommenotd.
In oRse he failed to d6‘SoT was so pay him no
thing. I consented and he applied 1 it' nearly
every day for five weeks, when the -disease en
tirely disappeared. I vory oheorfully paid hint
the amount agreed upon, ahd then asked Kim
what thie remedy was, and he replied that it'
was ho other than Outioura.
Since that time I have had no trouble from
this disease, and have not had snob good health
in twenty^years as I have had during the last
I have sines m; reoovery bought OutioOra and
giron it to friends suffering with skin diseases,
and in every tnstonoo it has cured them. I be
