David Dudley Field is one of the
ablest of a distinguished family. His
father was the late Rev. Dr. Field, of
Stockbridge, and his brothers living are
Cyru3\Y. Field, Rev. Dr. Henry M. Field,
editor of the Evangelist, and Justice Field,
of the United States Supreme Court. An
other brother was Hon. Jonathan Field,
lor several terms President of the Massa
chusetts Senate.
It seems to us that if the Governor of
South Carolina had addressed a polite note
to the Governor of North Carolina, it would
have been more liko a reciprocation of
former and frequent amenities, and in
greater accordance wllh the fitness of
things, than to write an unbidden letter to
the Governor of Ohio, with whom he is
not supposed by tradition ever to have
had anything in common.—iV. O. Democrat.
Concerning the charities of the Commo
dore during his life all is not known, and
never will be. The last years of many an
old soul lie knew in his younger days have
I teen softened by munificent pensions, and
much has been given from his purse for
private charities. What he gave he gave
outright and usually unsolicited. He re
fused most positively to annex his name to
subscription papers, nor would he allow
his wi.e, who was a member of the Church
of the Strangers, a free church, to subscribe
any given amount toward the support of
the pastor, though she might and did de
posit with a liberal hand in the contribu
tion box.—Cbr. Philadelphia Times.
Mr.GEORGE William Curtis, in Harper's
Weekly, is beginning to talk the language
of wisdom and prudence He says: “The
Republican leaders in CoDgress must not
misapprenend the sentiment of the coun
try. The action of the Returning Board
in Louisiana and Florida has undoubtedly
covered the declared vote of these States
with suspicion. The Republican party has
certainly not gained strength since the
election, and if the action in those States
should be followed by the exercise of
doubtful powers by the Senate, we do not
apprehend any violence, but the leaders in
such a course would be responsible for the
total overthrow of the party.” It becomes
clearer and clearer now that all Bepubli
cans who have any hopes cf a future in
their party must keep aloof from the
count in conspiracy.

Union works slowly and
It is now reinforced by anew postal tele
graph agitation. The Jay Gould party
are circulating petitions to Congress for
this purpose all over the country. But, If
they could crowd down Western Union
to 51 or 60, they would lose their interest in
the agitation for telegraph reform. Jay
Gould, to-day, is the great practical ob
stacle to any postal telegraph scheme. If

Vanderbilt labored with patient indus
try and self-denial through a lifo of fout
se ore years, and made himself one of the
richest and most powerful men of his time,
and yet his death excites less interest in
his own city than the personal quarrels of
a dissipated young scapegrace, who is try
ing to m ake away with the fortune his
father accumulated by the same means
that made Vanderbilt’s wealth. It is not,
perhaps, that the world thinks more of
young Bennett than it; thought of old
Vanderbilt, though the young man’s
weakness is undoubtedly more pleasing
than tho old man’s strength; it is rather,
as an accomplished New York correspond
ent suggests, that people do not care to
think about death while a bit of scandal
appeals to the heart of every one.— Phila
delphia Times.
The Democrats are full of both hope and
fear. Hope, on account of the universal
conviction that they have everything on
their side (excepting power and possession)
that is worth having—the laws and Con
stitution, all the traditions and precedents
of the past, a largo popular majority, and
the great power vested by the Constitution
in the House of Representatives. Hope, on
account of their belief that Mr. Tilden’s
inauguration cannot be prevented without
a monstrous nullification of the Constitu
tion. Hone, too, on account of the perfect
harmony oi the party and the most impli
cit confidence in the integrity of Mr. Til
den. Fears, on account of the desperate
character of those who now hold power in
and about the White House, and who have
the strongest motives not to surrender it.
Fears, on account of the possibility that
men who have hitherto not shrunk from
prostituting the highest power and pollut
ing the highest trusts of the nation for
selfish ends, may new not shrink from an
attempt to subvert the Government.—
Hopes in law, fears of forca and fraud. The
question is, Whose funeral shall it be—that
of the Republican party or that of the re
public I—Cor. N. Y. Sun.
Bliss, the revivalist, composer and sing
er, was perhaps the most important victim
of the Ashtabula calamity, and by the he
roism of his death a3 well as by the slDg
ing of his songs—which have now reached
over nearly the whole world—he has earned
long remembrance. Some in that terrible
keeue, who knew him, testify how, though
he was free to escape aioue, lie calmly re
jected life to die with his wife, whom he
coul 1 not save, and how the true Christian
lovers offered their prayers together, as
the fatal flames approached them. Mr
Bliss had no distinguished abilities or od
portunlties; judged by literary or artistic
canons, his songs (in whose writing his
wife had at least an equal share) are medi
ocre; but he had the spirit of humble and
single-minded devotion which makes the
weak things of the earth mighty to con
found the strong. Therefore he will live in
the hearts of Christians; his works remain,
wherever Sankey and Moody sing, In revi
val meetings or Sunday Schools. It is no
wonder that the memorial services in the
Chicago tabernacle (where he and his fel
low-laborer, Mr. Whittle, had been ex
pected to follow Moody and Sankey in
their work) were most affecting; that the
building should have been filled with tear
stained faces; that Moody’s utterances
should have been broken, and Banket una
ble to trust himself to sing alone.—Spring

“ Chickens Coming Home to Roost.”
The Columbus Enquirer, of a recent
date, contained the following editorial:
Twice, lately, articles have appeared in
the Augusta Constitutionalist which weie
very severe upon the agent of some ma
chine shop lathe East for the alleged in
terference aDd influence with his oper
atives as to how they should vote. This
article, in some of its ideas, was reasona
ble enough, hut when it took occasion to
animadvert upon one of our own corpora
tions, because, in doing as it deemed best
for its stocknolders, it had traded with this
machine shop, we think they particular
ized just a little too much. Especially is
this the “more pertinent” when a rival
machine builder was named as the proper
person from whom to buy. It appears like
undue influence when editorials are used
to advertise, free, certain manufactures in
one’s paper, and to dictate to cotton mills
whether or not they shall exercise their
financial judgment and experience in the
selection of the style, reputation and prices
of what they purchase.
Of all things in this country, trade is
certainly free between the States, Intelli
gent men generally buy where they secure
the best goods for the least money. Es
pecially is this the “more pertinent” when
we think how difficult it would be to per
suade Southern people that the constitu
ency of Ben Butler and his native city
are the only people and the only town
which Southern mills should patronize, as
the writer of the article under review
would enforce. Knowing as we do the au
thority, absolute almost, which agents of
corporations in the Eastexercise over their
men, we could be induced to believe that
their men voted as the agents directed, but
wo were not prepared to hear that in Au
gusta, Ga., the superintendent of their
leading cotton mill has been actually ar
raigned in their stockholders’ meeting for
bulldozing the operatives of that company.
So well founded seems this charge that the
stockholders passed the following resolu
tion to prevent any 6uch actions in the fu
ture :
“That no officer connected with this com
pany has any right to exercise undue in
fluence, much less arbitrary control, over
the political rights of the workmen em
ployed by this corporation, and they are
left entirely free to exercise the elective
franchise as they see proper.”
This action becomes the “more pertinent’,
when it is a rumor well founded that this
same superintendent is a stockholder in
the journal which so severelyScriticised the
Eastern agent, and is, it is also rumored,
the Georgia agent of tho machine shop the
editorial recommended.
In order that there may be no mis
take about this matter, we republish
the article objected to by the Enquirer.
It is as follows :
We see it editorially charged that at the
Saco water-power machine shops no Dem
ocrat has been employed for years; that,
though some employes wished to vote with
the Democrats this year, all of the SOo or
400 men voted the Republican ticket, fear
ing discharge, as the company’s clerk and
the overseers were looking after the men,
all election day, the shops being closed for
that purpose.
Just now, when there is a tremendous
outcry on the part of the Republicans
against what they call “intimidation” in
the South, it is a matter of some impor
tance for Southern people to know a thing
or two about Republican bulldozing at the
North. The Saco machine shops furnish
an apt illustration. This Is the more per
tinent, as we have ascertained that the Co
lumbus, Georgia, cotton mills have ordered
$300,000 worth of machinery from this
Company, which not only employs no Dem
ocrat, but exercises terrorism at the polls
over the moro independent of its workmen
who desired to vote for Tilden and re
submit, without meaning to
amrate now a man or corporation shall
spend money, that the people of the South
should not, on principle, strengthen the
hands of bitter Radical concerns at the
North, when purchases can be made with
benefit, in the same section, from Demo
cratic manufacturers. In our columns will
be found the advertisement of the Lowell
Machine Shop. Its articles are equal to
the best, its terms of the most favorable
character, and its officers Democrats and
opposed to the Radical domination that has
so long insulted and ruined the South. The
goods turned out by this Lowell firm are
known and appreciated all over the South,
for their uniform excellence. The firm also
spends money liberally at the South in ad
vertising. We profoundly regret that the
owners or directors of the new Columbus
Cotton Mill did not patronize the Demo
cratic Lowell corporation instead of the
rabid bull-dozing Saco concern. We be
lieve in the South helping those who help
her at tho North, and giving a cold shoul
der to he r enemies and persecutors in that
section.
We believe that the sentiments enun
ciated above are shared by ninety-nine
hundredths of the white people of this
State. We were very careful to avoid
any dictation in the premises ; but sim
ply stated a fact and drew what we
conceived to be a useful and not offen
sive moral. If private men or corpor
ations in the South choose to furnish
our enemies with weapons for our de
struction, they have a right to do so—
and we never denied it —but equally is
it the duty of a free press to make such
comment upon these transactions as
they, in the extraordinary times pre
vailing, would seem to warrant.
The Enquirer did not wait lorg
enough for further information when
it dropped “free trade between the
States” and “particularized just a little
too much” on the subject of "bulldoz
ing” on the part of “the superintendent
of the leading cotton mill” in Augus
ta.
So ill-founded was the charge that
the superintendent aforesaid was guil
ty of “bulldozing” operatives, that a
resolution fixing it upon him specifical
ly was voted down,and the factory oper
atives, of their own accord,published a
card in tho papers em phatieally deny
ing tho allegation.
It has been always “pertinent,’’since
the war, for newspapers to advise the
people of the South to deal with their
friends and not with their enemies, all
things being equal commercially. TLe
Enquirer doubtless has been, in times
past, one of the most resolute and
powerful advocates of such a polity.
It is do new thing with the Constitu
tionalist, and we expect to maintain
the same line of argument, until con
vinced of its fallacy.
The “rumor” that the Superintend
ent of the Augusta Factory is “agent
of the (Lowell) machine shop,” is, we
are authoritatively informed, untrue.
We have dealt fairly by the Enquirer
in publishing its article, although it
criticised the Constitutionalist with
out, so far as we have been able to as
certain, allowing its subscribers to see
the article thus attacked,
Wiil our esteemed Columbus con
temporary copy this article in the same
spirit of fairness entertained by us ?
In Laurel Grove Cemetery, in Sa
vannah, were buried 1,704 persons last
year.
A Noble Document.
The Washington Union very proper
ly speaks of Senator Gordon’s letter as
“one of the fairest arguments and
most exhaustive contributions yet dedi
cated to enlightening the conscience of
hesitating Republicans, and strength
ening the resolution of determined
Democrats.” After declaring that our
Senator “utters not only the prophecy
of a political seer, but reveals the hope,
the creed and the conviction of the
people of this country,” the editor
adds : “Not the least acceptable ele
ment of this letter is the spirit of re
liance on public opinion, bidding one
party to move forward and the other
to halt—public opinion, which has been
shaped by the corruption of the car
pet-baggers and Radicals, by the pa
triotic self-immolation of the Southern
people on the shrine of peace, by the
moral evidences of a good cause on
the one hand, and tho positive proofs
of Machiavelian trickery on tho other.
“The writer discusses the question
nearest to every man’s heart and
hearthstone, not only in a lawyerlike
and statesmanlike manner, but he mir
rors tho mind of all Democrats and
Conservatives. They cannot recognize
any right to the Presidency but that of
Mr. Tilden, and regard tho threatened
counting in of Mr. Hayes as a revolu
tionary act, against whose commission
every patriot must protest with his
latest breath.”
No New Election.
“There has been an election of Presi
dent. There cannot be another legal
election. It is not in the power of
Congress, the President, the President
of the Senate, nor a Democratic mass
meeting to set aside the election and
order anew one by the people. And if
it could be legally done it would be a
disaster. The material interests of the
country must not be subjected to the
strain of another Presidential election,
after all that they have suffered from
the agitation of the previous one. Til
den would be a lesser calamity. Let
us have the legal course. That will be
tho only settlement for the present,
and the only security for the future.”—
Cincinnati Gazette.
For once we agree with Deacon
Richard Smith. There is no authority
in the country vested with power, as
matters now stand, to order anew
election, nor have wo heard of a Dem
ocrat who, in mass meeting or other
wise, desires anew one. A3 the Gazette
says, “Let us have tho legal course,”
which means, to declare the election of
Tilden and Hend ricks, and inaugurate
them at the proper time.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times purports to have
interviewed Ben Hill. We quote his
conclusion : “In regard to the report
that his utterances were not well re
ceived in Georgia, and were likely to
defeat his aspirations for the Senator
ship, Mr. Hill said that his advices
were that his views were heartily com.
mended by his people, and that he was
never stronger with them than now.
He thinks his chances for the Senate
have been improved by'Tbe wa'r that
was made upon him c-u account of his
views upon the Presidential question.
He has, he says, no fear of trouble.
The people of the whole country, and
especially of the South, cared more for
their material prosperity than for the
Presidency. Mr. Hill’s friends claim
that his election to the Senatorship, to
succeed Senator Norwood, is almost
certain.”

Bennett was put on six months’ pro
bation by Dr. May. The story goes
that before the term expired Mr. Ben
nett mistook a Union League waiter
for an African chief about to make war
on his favorite Stanley, and incapaci
tated him for hostilities, and came very
near smashing a member of the club
under the impression that he was
the British government. This mixed
things.
Bennett used to get drunk, go to his
sweetheart’s house and smash mirrors
and furniture. Miss May has met with
a sorrowful, but mighty, deliverance.
Fellows who smash mirrors and furni
ture, before marriage, would probably
whip wives and break hearts altar

[News and Courier.!
The proceedings of the meetings
held yesterday, in nearly one-haif the
counties in South Carolina, as reported
by our correspondents, bear striking
testimony to the unanimity, determin
ation and patriotism of the people.
In response to the call of Governor
Hampton, they avow their readiness to
vote the supplies necessary for the
maintainance of the Constitutional
Government. Besides this, they
publish to the country their un- j
changeable determination never to
recognize the Cnamberlain government,
and to resist its unlawful uiandates to
the end Stan ling ip m the sura foun
dation of ninety thousand ballots, they
ure resolved to uphold, in every lawful
way, the government of their choice,
until it shall be acknowledged every
where as the only government of the
State. To-day, likewise, is published
the address of the Charleston Commit
tee, giving form and direction to the
resolutions adopted at the mass meet
ing held in December, and it is worthy
of note that, although the books had
not been formally opened, the offices
of Governor Hampton’s agents in
Charleston were crowded yesterday
with taxpayers anxious to pay their
contributions, under the New Year’s
address, and eager to demonstrate, in
the most practical way, their faith in
the speedy triumph of the cause of
Home Rule, Honesty and Reform.

Schneck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Tonic,
AND MANDRAKE PILLS.—THESE De
servedly celebrated and popular medicines
have affected a revolution in the heal
ing art, and proved the falla ay of several
maxims which have for man/ years ob
structed tho progress of medical science.
The false supposition that “Consumption is
incurable” deterred physicians from at
tempting to find remedies for that disease,
and patients afflicted with it reconciled
themselves to death without making an ef
fort to escape from a doom which they sup
posed to be unavoidable It is now proved,
h .wever, that Consumption can be cured,
and that it has been cured in a very great
number of cases (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by SCHNECK’S Pulmonic
Syrup alone; and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection with
SCHNECK’S Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills, one or both, according to the
requirements of the case.
DR. SCHENCK himself who enjoyed un
interrupted good health for more than
forty years,was supposed at one time to be
at the very gate of death, his physicians
having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his
recovery, many thousands similarly affect
ed have used D It. SCHENCK’.S prepara
tions with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making
it not absolutely necessary to personally
see DR. SCHENCK unless patients .wish
their lungs examined, and for this purpose
he is professionally at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadel
phia, every Monday, where all letters for
advice must be addressed.
