«iti Washington Letter.
Wasiunokin. I>.Cb. •
.1 title S, 1^70. )
Editor Tint*#:
The feeling here in Washington,
between the various candidates for
the Cineinnali nomination ami the
rt spectivc friend*. begins to assume
tone of bin ernes*. Rlaine has been
persistently persecuted by Conk*
liug ami Morton, th H any aiiiinpt at
CO-opcra l ion in the Convention
futile. Il will he observed 1
the attacks on Rlaine have e.otne from
R I Chilean sources. The aitempt,on
his part. to make it appear that the
Deltak ratr- in the House have eotupii-
ed to ,’eMioy him. is only lot puliileal
cileei; it i> not true. It is generally
b lieved hole, that Rluine will throw
his inline: ce in the <bnvetilion for
//ayes. Zucli. Chandler is being
quietly worked up hy the Republican
•ganization here, »ii)i a view to
springing him on the Convention at
the proper time, should Conkhng fail.
This is being done secretly; but it is
being done as effectively ns it eau be,
by the machinery controlled by Judge
Edmunds, the Radical Campaign En
gineer, who acts directly under
Grant's orders. As to the Democrat
ic candidates, everything is running
along smoothly.
It is seen that, while the St. Louis
Convention may not nominate Gov
ernor Tildcu, any ^tli'inul to dcuy his
spleudid record, and valuable s.orvipe
to tbc party, is a blow at the party it-
scll. Every man who knows anything
of New Yum politics knew* that Gov
ernor Tiiden is the si longest
with the people, in that Stale, to-,day.
Everyone knows why he ps *o, no
man can give any vulid reason for his
beiug otherwise. Ills micccm(uI war
fare agaiust Tweetl anti ihc Canal
Ring, ami the whalesalc reduction of
taxes he has brought about, has made
him bitterly hat^d hy corrupt politi
cians, l»ut hits endeared hi;q tp the
people. And it should not l».c .other
wise. He was elected hy a change ol
nearly 104,<X)0 in *74, and Iherc is far
more reason fot his popularity now
than there was then. The Democratic
party has reason lo he proud of all its
great leaders; ami any attempt to un-
dciT^tC the strengti. pf any one of
them is a ihm^rou* process. Wiielh-
er it is that the fear of fLiWinor Til
den's nomination excites unjust. oj>p6
sition or not, it is true that his friends
have none hut the kindest words for
other candidates. And it is a thing
to be proud of that every man named
in connection with the St. Louis nom
ination would confer honor upon the
party, if made its candidate.
Weil may Senator Colliding cry mil
in anguish of soul,‘‘Save me from my
fricntL!” when such men as Ross
hcpluwd and Rally Rrooks, the edit
or of Murlagh’s kitchen organ, an
nounce their intention ol going to
Cincinnati to work for him at the ap
proaching convention. They have al-
ady secured rooms there, and will
do their best to u set up the pins'* for
the bloudc Senator from New York.
Said a Rlaiuo man, to-day, “I sincere
ly thank God that such fellows as
hepherd and Rrook do not advocate
Dluiuc; they would do him more harm
than good.** The National Republi
can never ..mils an opportunity to
Rlaine a back-handed blow. The
next day, after Rlaine made his per-
onal explanation iu the House, the
.cpublican, commenting ou the af
fair, asked the lollowing pertinent
queries: **Rut did he clear himself?
Dili he give such au explanation of
that letter describing railway legisla
tion and the part he took in it ns im
presses the heater with the idea that
he was actuated more hy love of
friends whom lie wished lo oblige,
than by au iuboru respect for purity
of legislation?"
So much interest ceutics on the
Presidency that the impnr.ance of se
lecting a good .nan for the second of
fice docs not appear to be sufficiently
appreciated. In the general scramble
and hurrah, it seems to*bc lost sight of
that one-fifth of the elected Presidents
died shortly after they were inaugura
ted; the succession devolving, in each
case, on the Vice President. Harri
son died about a month after his inau
guration, aud was succeeded by John
Tyler: Zachary Taylor lived only a
few months after he was installed
tlio White House, and Vice-President
Fillmore became the constitutional
head of the Government; and Abra
ham Lincolu was assassinated less
Ilian two mouths after his second
auguration, Vice-President Atidrew
Johnson succeeding to the Presiden
tial chair. Too much care cau hardly
be given to the selection ol a nominee
of the Vice-Presidency, w hen it is con
sidered that, if circled, lie may be
called upon, at any moment, to assume
the duties of Chief Executive <*f the
nation. Up lo this point, only three
Democrats hav« been prominently
mentioned ia Washington iu connec
tion w ith the Vice-Presidency Wil
liam S. Holman, ot Indiana, Gilbert
C. Walker, of Virginia, and Thomas
i, of Maryland. Mr. ILdnian
has leqtiestcd his friend* to abstain
frotn usiughis name at ,8t. Loui.-. //e
says that the course lie has conscienti
ously pursued iu LVugnsa has been of
such a character as to debar him from
the hearty suiqHirt of the booth and
that a ticket would, therefore, be weak
ened 1*3 pultiug his name upon i:. Mr.
\> alkei is personally unobjectionable;
blit the South are determined that no
man from a State which left the Un
ion and joined the Confederacy shall
he placed oil the St Louis ticket,
that Walker is out of the question.—
Governor Swann's ehu u cs foi the
high office are, therefore, more than
fair; and his friends are numerous,
strong and hopeful. Gov. Swann's fit
ness for lhei>osiiion is unquoted, lie
is eminently conservative in thought
and feeling—a man of great adminis
trativc ability and of marked individ
uality.

of the happiest auguries of

flic state commissioner of ngricul-
id supported by official data,
that “ninety per c ent of his corres

istence of a determination on the
part of farmers to make their sup
plies at home.” If we were to

it would be to write that sentence

The battle for bread is not a hard
one to people who take the means
of victory into their hands. They
who live at home live cheapest and
best, and the announcement that
our people, after a decade of adverse
experience, are determined to cease
boarding in the west, is a sight draft
for millions of dollars to the old
commonwealth. It is the assu
rance that the happy hog-killing
times of an earlier and more inde
pendent era are to lie revived and
the smoke-house is again to become
a feature of the farm-home.
It has taken the people a long
time to recognize the true road to
independence and prosperity in their
agricultural methods. Their loyal

wonderful delusions of a long series
of years and has been abandoned
only when his exactions brought
poverty to the doors of the people.

The Lotiisinna-Misslssippi
Disturbance.
The N. O. Democrat says that W.
H. Noble, the Sheriff of Wilkinson
county Miss., who led the
which engaged the negro rioters and
killed thirty of them, is a Republi
can official. He is not now aud
never has l>eeu a Ku-klux or a
White Leaguer or a Democrat or
Coushatta ruffian. He was, howev
er, in the discharge of a plain though
terrible duty, aud no censure can at
tach to him or his men for the re
sult. The blood of the thirty ne
groes is ou the hands of such men
as Kellogg, the editor of the New
Orleans h*puWean, aud the Radical
leaders in West Feliciana. Tiiese
are the heartless creatures that
ought to suffer for this fearful thing.
Sheriff' Noble in making report of
the affair to Gov. Stone, of Missis
sippi, said: “The trouble could have
could have been avoided had not
the colored people tired into my
posse,” aud concludes:
They wero advised by their leaders
to kill the ichite people from the cradle
ujj. I have arrested some of the ring-
leadeis, and may get more. Politics
had nothing to do with the affair —
Prominent colored ineu were with me,
attempting to pacify them. They
would listen to uo advice. I appre

Ho says ho saw four of them who
had succeeded in landing a little
flounder. No sooner had the poor
fish struck the ground than all ex
claimed in one voice: #
‘Ouch! Murder! take it away.

Then they hold up their skirts
and gather about that fish, and all
the time the one who caught the
fish is holding the lino in both
hands, with her foot on the pole,
though she had au evil-disposed
gout at the other end, which *'
expected to butt her over at a
moment. Then they talk over it

across the gutter, so as to jab Mr.

Winterbotham, ‘I could qote Scrip
