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- e ' The war had just olosed.

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. Hord moneyTthat whioh is hard to get. (yticura 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. . „ , - . then the scoundrels fabricated the fraud- b ** n to ?

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.” When he walked there would at loaat one quart ol aoaiea come off ot him.
