Pennsylvania Correspondence,
The Itsd'cal Party and the South.
Liuonier Valley, Pa., )
Sept. 30,1879. f
EditohIIooiubr : Everybody Is aware
of the system of blackguardism and
vilification of the people of the South
in which the Radical leaders have in
dulged so freely ever since the dose of
the war. Nothing can exceed the
venom of these demonstrations. The
virus of the viper’s fangs is compara
tively harmless when compared with it.
During the period of armed hostilities
between the two sections of the Union,
there might have been more or less ex
cuse for euch malignant and brutal
demonstrations, but at. present there is
none. In time of war such demonstra
tions muBt naturally be expected; but
there can be no excuse for them, what
ever, in time of profound peace, or at
least, in a time when there ought to be
profound pence. The soldiers who
fought the war, on both sides, are now
living in a condition of profound peace
with each other, but the politicians, the
office seekers, those who were at a safe
distance in time of battle, are now slash'
ing away with might and main, utterly
and persistently refusing to recognize a
condition of penco. This mighty and
valorous army of non-combatants iB
[ just about as invincible in time of peace,
ts it is invisible at the front in time of
war, which is one reason for so many
belligerent demonstrations at present
and for the last ten years. But while
everybody is thoroughly aware of this
system of blackguardism and vilifica
tion, all may not be just so well aware
of the object in view in indulging in it.
Me all other devices of the enemy,
euch demonstrations have for their ob-
| ject political capital. To prove this, the
skeptic, if there is one, is respectfully
referred to the fact that, no sooner had
the war closed than blackguarding and
: our late enemies promptly
commenced, and from that time to the
Present increased every year in violence
to such an extent that a stranger would
-if ho wore to read the Radical preaa
'believe we were still fighting. The
time selected for inaugurating this syB-
em of blackguardism wbb moat admira-

Would Ka ? l l * dioal P ,eB8 i in whioh one
et * 10 suppose that the whole
South had figured, and not only figured
L ‘ heartily endorsed it as well. Well
’» a little irregularity of that kind
might happen anywhere. They fre
quently happen here; but that is all
•ight, you know. It iB hardly necessa-
to inform your readers that when a
little irregularity such as we hove named
happens at the South, that whole section
deemed responsible, and is held up
the soorn and contempt of everybody
who reads the Radical press of this sec
tion. And then the rank and file of
the Radical party will roll it as a sweet
morsel under their tongues, and coolly
remark, “Didn’t I tell you.” But to
more seriouB, we can conceive of
nothing more flagrantly unjust than at)
attempt to hold a whole community or a
whole section responsible for the acts of
two or three persons who represent no
but themselves. If it were possi
ble to conceive of anything more un
just than the above it is found in the
argument that the people of the South
countenance such proceedings. Noth
ing could be further from the truth.
We are bound to clear the South of this
insult and slander. Suoh an idea could
have had its origin nowhere else than
the depraved brain of Zach Chandler,
of blood-letting notoriety. The people
of the South are just as far from endors
ing lawlessness and crime as we of this
section dare be. In the South, society
just as good, and in some localities
better, than it is here; and the friend
ship and hospitality of the South are
proverbial—vastly superior to those of
this section. We have mingled with
the people of the South, and know just
what they endorse and what they cen
sure! ; Whenever a man says that the
people of the South endorse lawlessness
and crime, he either wilfully or ignor
antly tells a baseless, malicious false
hood. Suoh an idea is too thin even
for political clap-trap. The people- of
the South do not endorse the Radical
party or its acts; this no one will at
tempt to deny; but aside from this fact
they are ready, willing and anxious to
extend the hand of friendship to any
mau in this section, all the howlings of
the Radical press and Radical orators
to the contrary notwithstanding. And
the moment such howls cease to be
available f or political purposes, that
moment nothing more will be heard of
them. Alter all, however, we do not
believe that the Radical leaders enter
tain, at least, suoh a feeling of bitter
ness as many are led to suppose. They
are obliged to keep up a hostile appear
ance in order to dupe their followers
and insure party success. As soon as
they make the discovery that there is
no longer any hope for their party, we
think they will be all right. “So mote
it be.” Keystone.
An Angel in Woman’s Form. 1 ?
New Orleans Democrat.
There lives in New Orleans a woman
who is known all over the city as “Mm-
garet.”' Sometimes she is called “Sis
ter Margarot,” and at others, 1 Mother
Margaret” She is-of plain exterior, of
Irish birth, heavy frame, and weighs
over two hundred pounds, She dresses
in plain calico, and is frequently seen
driving her baker’s cart, for she is the
founder and manager of one of the
largest and most prosperous bakeries in
the city. Years ago she was an attend
ant in the Female Orphan Asylum, and
through all the epidemics Margaret was
always conspicuous for her devotion to
the little unfortunates, and prominent
in gathering funds and donations to
help the directors keep starvation out
of the portals of the asylum. In time
she determined to establish a bakery,
in order to enable her to supply them
with bread, and by her masterly man-
&26ixi9iit she built up a business that
has enabled her to sustain her life of de
votion to the orphans and to amass £
seasonable competence for herself in
her old age. She must be now over
fifty years of age, and may be daily seen
driving through the streets, making her
purchases of flour, or at early morn ao-
tually delivering bread to her custo
mers, or sending it to the asylums. In
all the numerous publio oharities, orig
inating with the ladies, every year she
has invariably contributed her mite,
sometimes 850 and sometimes more,
without solicitation, and she does not
hesitate to visit the sick and personally
nurse them or see that they are properly
attended. But her last act of generosi
ty to the orphans of Gen. Hood—pro
portionate to her fortune, wo think, is
the largest ohaiitable donation ever
given in this country, and in compan
ion places her self-sacrificM alongside
of Florence Nightingale and far ahead
of the Vanderbilts, 8tewarts, and Astors
of the North. She reoently sent Gen
Hood’s children a check for 8500. Ver
ily. New Orleans has “an angel in a
woman’s form," and when she gorato
her reward she will deserve o menu-
ment that will endure forever.

Jere Black on National Poli
tics.
Washington Post, September 30.
“What about national politics?”
“What can I possibly tell you about
national politics that you don’t know
already ? I have the seorets of no can
didate in my keeping, and if I had I
would not reveal them. Yes, I have
opinions and hopes, and fears like other
citizens. The great issues upon which
we carried the election of 1876 are with
us os much as ever, but the accidents
are against us. The coalition between
Conkling and Kelly to defeat Robinson
is a most serious affliction, nnd it is
doing more to discourage the friends of
honest government thau anything that
has happened, within my remembrance.
If it BUcceedsitwill be a frightful wrong.
Robinson has done the State much ser
vice, and they know it. All men admit
that he is true to the people, and they
ought to be true to him. He has indeed
been a great public benefaotor, as the
statistics of expenses and taxation show
beyond doubt. Yet Tammany proposes
to sacrifice not only him, but the great
jublic interests which he maintained
>ecause he had failed to please some of
its leaders in the distribution of patron
age. To think of suoh treachery is try
ing to the temper—enough to make a
true Democrat 'ourse his better angel
from his side and fall to reprobation’ ”
“Do you, like many other Pennsyl
vanians, think Tilden the most promi
nent candidate for the Democratic nom
ination in 1880?”
“I don’t think Tilden wants to be the
candidate of 1880 but he can have the
nomination if he is willing to take it.
All the signB show that. The fraud of
whioh he was the victim in 1876 gives
him a hold upon the popular heart
whioh is hard to lessen. Besides,' he is
known to be a man consummately fitted
for the first office in the nation—a
thoughtful statesman, a studious doc
trinaire, with a knowledge of practical
affairs which makes his judgment al
most infallible. As regards the once
much-talked-of cipher dispatches, what
do they prove? Why, this, and this
only: That those loathsome misoreants
who held the returns in their hands
tried to blackmail him; demanded
money as the price of an honest certifi
cate, and a true return—he indignantly
and instantly refused to be robbed, and. . „ , - .

county had employed ail of oar dootori and
had aent to New York for advleo, but to no avail.
The patient commonccd using the Cutioura
and Immediately began getting bettor.
— ‘ ’ ' ‘ confined to tils
to lay his finger upan one scintilla of
evidence, beyond what I have stated,
whioh connects Mr. Tilden with these
infamous rascals in any other way.
But the false returns were all paid fur
by the administration whioh they put
into power. Every one of that godless
crew is provided with a profitable office.
There is doublo baseness in this. To
reward men for corrupting election re
turns is unspeakably bad, but to do it
with money taken from the publio treaa.
ury is suoh an infinite outrage that it
casts common bribery or ordinary steal
ing quite into the shade. It is said
Mr. Tilden ought to have seized the
Presidency and had himBelf inaugurated
at all risks. This is unmitigated non
sense. If the House of Representatives
had deolared him elected then he would
have been unfaithful to his duty if he
had not taken possession; but when
bis political supporters in Congress per
mitted him and hie constituents to be
juggled out of their rights, how could
the remedy be wrong? How especially
can the members of Congress who com
mitted that grave error throw the blame
upon him ?’’
“Are you a Tilden man ?’’
“No, I not a Tilden man. I am for
the nominee of the national convention.
My personal preference would be Gen
eral Hancock, because he was the first
officer of his rank in the regular army
that lifted his voice to say a good word
for constitutional liberty, ana as long
as I live I will be grateful to him for
that, if nobody else is. What I have
said about Tilden proceeds from a con
viction that he has been cheated and
slandered, and he deserves a vindica
tion.”

The New York Sun in an article on
the nonsense of talk about people dying
from overwork says:
If a man takes good care of his hab
its and observes the ordinary laws of
health, he need not bo afraid -of over
working his head. The friction of
great anxiety may wear a man out.
Constant thinking in one direction only
may pervert bis mind by putting too
much strain on one Beotion of the brain.
But the folly of men in their idle hours,
as a rule, has more to do with their in
tellectual as well as physical upsettini;
than any weight their work may load
them with. Idleness and the brooding
of lazy, introspective souls do far more
to fill insane asylums than the sweat
of labor, whioh we all need to keep us
happy and to make us oontent by giv
ing us no time to spend in thinking
about ourselves—the poorest enjoyment
a reasonable being oan have.
