MR. HENDRICKS AT NEW YORK.
An Eloquent and 'relllnK Speech.
New Yoke, June 13.—Mr. Hen
dricks, having returned thanks for
the honor done him, alluded to the
Presidential election, and said the
result as declared iu Louisiana and
in Florida, and at Washington, is not
and cannot be made satisfactory to
the country, for the obvious reason
that it was not true, A great and
sincere people will rest their final
judgmeut only upon truth, and never
upon fiauds, successful through tech
nicality. Even should the President
and his Cabinet adopt a part or whole
of the policies and purposes for which
the Democratic party has been con
tending for many years, and which
became so distinctly defined last
year, even that cannot remove or
quiet the public discontent.
The Democrats will make uo fac
tious opposition, nor will they seek
to embarrass the dr facto Adminis
tration, but will sustain it in what ; s
right, because it is right, and for the
welfare of the country, and not at all
because of any fealty to the party
that stands defeated and condemned
by the people. The people cannot
allow the selection of their Chief
Magistrate to become a thing of
chance, or of sharp practice. The
"fraud first triumphant in American
history,” must be ussigned to its pro
per place among the crimes against
popular Government, and made so
odious that no party will dare to at
tempt its repetition. He who is
elected President must be inaugurat
ed.
Until that is settled and made
sure, no Democrat can be seduced
from his devotion and allegiance in
any way, not by allurements of office,
nor even by the strong appeal in the
abandonment by the Administration
of vicious principles and dangerous
policies and the adoption of better
doctrines and just measures.
The Democrats will not entrust
their most cherished principles to
the keeping of a power which is at
tained by vicious and corrupt means.
They will rather continue their faith
iu the right of the majority to rule,
in accordance with constitutional
provisions. All Democrats rejoice
with unbounded joy that free repub
lican governments are once more
allowed to the States of South Caro
lina and Louisiana. They rejoice in
the good fruits that must follow.
They kuow that peace and good
order will prevail ; that capital
will be made secure, and laboi
safe, contented and happy; trial
enterprise will revive and the cruel
burdens of the Government and pub
lie corruption will be lifted from the
shoulders of labor, and that produc
tion will increase and lands advance
in price. But they know that in the
language of Gov. Morton, it had be
come “inevitable.” Good govern
ment iu the Slates was not a free
will offering uporf the altars of t li.-
eountry. For years the Democrats
bad contended in Congress and be
fore the people for free republican
States throughout the South. Final-
ly it become “inevitable” because the
right and truth were too strong to be
longer suppressed. In this the Detn
ocrats find a reason to stand more
firmly with their party out of power,
with no patronage to dispense ami
uo money to distribute, by the
spirit of our institutions and
inspired by the sentiment of the
right of loeai self-government as in
herent in the people. The Democrat
ic party during ttie i ast ten years
has restored one State after anotner,
until now the tread of soldiers is
heard in no legislative, hall, but in
every State the people are governe'i
by laws of their own enacting and
by officers of their own choosing.
Mr. Hendricks concluded with the
declaration that we had no sectional
sentiment, no Eastern or Western
policies; the East and the West and
the South were one-a wise and just
policy would alike promote the pros
perity of each.

the Russians not only evacuated Olti,
but Peoiok, at the foot of the pass

London, June 13. -The Vieuna cor

retired beyond Petinok without resis
tance, this would seem to show
there was only a small force there,
and that the bulk of tiio Russian
column is still on the Ardahaa side
of the Kahidy ranges. Possibly,
after all the Russians before advanc

to bombard and reduce Kars, so as to

GOV. TIUIEN SPEAKS.
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT THE GREAT PRESI
DENTIAL FRAUD.
New York, June 12.—Gov. Tilden
made a brief speech at the reception
at Manhattan Club to-night. After
alluding to the departure of Gov.
Hendricks to-morrow , with best
wishes for a prosperous voyage and
safe return, ho said :
“Everybody knows that after the
recent election the men who were
elected by the people President and
Vice President of the United Stales
were ‘counted out,’ and men who
were rot elected were ‘counted in’
and seated. I disclaim any thought
of the personal wr nig involved in
this transaction. Not by any act ot
word of mine snali that oeu waned or
degraded into a personal grievance,
which is in truth the greatest wrong
that lias stained our national annals.
To every man of the four and a quar
ter million who were defrau led
of the fruits of their elective
franchise, it is us great a
wrong as it is to me, and
no less to every man of the minority.
Will tin* ultimale cousequeucea ex
tern! V Evils in government grow bv
sucees and iiupuuiiy; they do noi
arrest 1 heir own progress; they can
never be limited except by eternal
forces. If ibe men in possession oi
the government can in one instance
maintain themselves in power against
au adverse decision at the elections,
such an example will be imitated;
temptation exisis always. Deviees
to give the color of law and false pro
tection on which to found fraU luleli
decisions will riot be wauling; <h
wrong will grow into a praciice if
condoned. In the world’s history
changes in the sue -essiou of govern
ments have usually been the result
of fraud or lorce. It lias been our
pride that we had established a
mode of peaceful change, to be
mai ked out by the agency of the
hallot-b ix.
The question now is, whither our
election system, in its substance, as
well as its form, is to be maintained,
this is the question of questions un
til it is tinahy settled. There eau be
no politics founded on inferior ones
tions of administrative policy. If. in
volves the fundamental right of the
people. It iuvolves the elective
principle. It, involves the whole
principle of popular government.
The geople must signally condemn
the great wrong which has teen done
to them ; they muststrip the example
of everything that can attract imita
tors ; they must refuse a prosperous
immunity to crime. That is not all
The people will not be able to trust
the authors or beneficiaries of the
wrong to devise remedies, but when
those who condemn the wrong shall
iiave the power they must devise the
measure which shall render a repe
tition or the wrong forever impossi
ble. ir my voice could reach through
out our country and be heard in its
remotest hamlet, I would say, be of
good cheer. The republic will live;
the institutions of our fathers are not
to expire in shame; the sovereignty
of the people shall be rescued from
this peril and re-established. Suc
cessful wrong never appears so tri
umphant. as on the very eve of its
rail. Seven years ago a corrupt dy
nasty culminated in its power over
the million of people who live in the
city of New York. It had conquered,
or bribed, and won almost every
body into acquiescence. It appeared
to be invincible. A year or two later
its metntiers were in the penitentiary
or in exile, History abounds in simi
lar examples. We must believe in
the right, and in the future a great
and noble nation will not sever its
political from its moral life.”

It is not always the dark place that

The object of labor is not the mere
accumulation of gold, but to iulifill

It would be an interesting problem,
had we the means of working it out,
to find out bow far our characters are
formed by surroundings, as physical
qualities are affected bv climate.
Whata fertility of thought, senti

Ills Ideas of Mrifnlion’s lleslftn, and
Mireiucili.
New York, June 10. —Richard Whit
ting, tbe World's Paris correspondent,
sends an interesting interview with Jules
Simon, hud shortly after the lute Minis
ter’s tall. As to Marshal MncM ibon and
the various factious miking up his party,
M. Simon said:
“They act against the Republic as one
man. This easily leads people to form
an exaggerated estimate of their number.
If I were required to put it in express
terms, I should say that a good two-thirds
of the France of to-day is sincerely Re
publican. The other third is, in one form
or other, Monarchical. About one-half
of the minority sincerely believes that it
hts a mission to establish in the country
the rule of a caste; the other half, that It
has an interest in doing the same thing.
Our whole history since the Revolution
is a history of efforts made by a minority
to restore its supremacy in affairs. What
happened the other day was but one ef
foit more. Shall Fiance rule herself, or
shall she he ruled iiy a numerous clique—
a sort of social Bureaucracy, believing it
self to have the secret of the art of gov
ernment? The whole question is there.
Ttie Marshal aud the Marshal s wife are
bound by almost every tie to the anti Re
publican party. They are Legitimists I y
birth and connections, and you have no
idea, without coming in close contact
with them, to what an extent they bold
pre-revolutionary heresy that nations are
incically incapable of managing their own
affairs. The idea seems ridiculous
enough in the street, but it is taken by
one of the nearest commonplaces ol| truth
in the palace. Ido not accuse them ot
plotting a Legitimist restoration —far
from it. They are disposed to consider
that ffjc needtul supremacy of a sort of
governing caste is suffleien ly assured by
the maintainence of themselves or their
friends in power. France is safe so long
as they or their like, no matter by what
title, are iu charge of her destinies.
This illusion is strengthened by the inten
sity of their religious convictions. Both
have confessors —the Marshal as well as
his wife—and often consult them. For
the rest, the Marshal is absolutely devoid
of all statesmanlike knowledge of poli
tics. He has his sympathies and his be
liefs, but political judgment is a gift he
has never displayed.
“I have already shown the diriction of
his sympathies. The Legitimists have
the first place in his esteem, the Orleanists
next The B mapartists, I should say,
are not much dearer to him than the Re
publicans. I had a striking proof of this
when I waS in power. There was a ru
mor that the Prii ce Imperial was going
to pay a visit to France. I was determ
ined not to let him reinaSi in the country,
and I asked the Marshal if he would be
prepared to sign an order for his removal
as soon as he passed the frontier ‘When
ever you like, he replied, without a mo
ment’s hesitation; and this readiness in
him meant a good deal, for, us a rule, Iliad
immense trouble to get him to sign any
thing of importance. It was almost a
daily battle between us, and sometimes,
indeed over tilings that would have som
ed the veriest tnff • it they had been seen
in their true pro; orlions. Thee were
limes when I cou and hardly get him
to put pen to paper lor what I deemed the
most indispensil le measures. I had
t wice to threaten to resign to obtain his
signature. It was a never-ending strug
gle, and it has quite worn me out.”
Further on, the Ex-Ministe r said: “I
have no fears of internal disorder, but
great apprehension of danger from abroad.
It is impossible to deny—or, if it is denied
ii is impossible to get it believed —that
this change will not affect the foreign
policy of the country. The Ultramon
tane influence is certainly strengthened by
it, and I leave any one to judge whether
that influence is likely to improve our re
lation with Italy or with Germany.”

It is the solemn thought connected
with middle life that life’s last busi
ness is begun in earnest; and it is
then midway between the cradle and
the grave that a man begins to mar
vel that be let the days of youth go
by so half enjoyed. It is the pensive
autumn feeling, it is the sensation of
half sadness that, we experience
when the longest day of the year is
past, and every day that follows is
shorter, and the light fainter, and
the feebler shadows tell that nature
is hastening with gigantic footsteps
to her winter grave. So does man
look back upon his youth. When
the first gray hairs become visible,
when the un welcome truth fastens it
self on the mind that a man is no
longer going uu hill, but down, and
that the sun is always westering, lie
looks back on things behind. When
we wore children we thought as
children. But now there lies before
us manhood, with its earnest work,
and then old age and then the grave,
then home. There is a second
voiith for man, better and holier
tlmri his first, if he will look on, and
not look back.— F. W, Robertson.

HFUGLAKN KFUFEKKFFG HOIK,
GOING THROUGH A BRICK WALL AND INTO
AN IRON SAFE TO GET FIFTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS
IN JEWELRY.
Now York Suo.]
At 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon
one of tho clerks in the employ ot F.
W. Pachtinann & Bro., jewelers, at
3G3 Canal street, entered their store
and saw one of the dcors of the great
old-fashioned Bate on the floor. Th
door had been broken from its hinges,
and it lay in a mass of crushed
cement and rubbish. The clerk sent
I out an alarm through the district
telegraph and then began an inves
tigation. The saf>* had been emptied
of its most valuable contents, which,
according to the clerk, were worth
$15,u00. Diamonds, watches aud
other jewelry had been stolen, and
much of this property had been in
trusted to file safe keeping of the
Messrs. Pach’muun. An aperture
about two feet square had beeu made
in the wall between the jewelry es
tablishment and Bailey’s carpet
store adjoining on the west. A
string telegraph, made especially by
tbe burglars, extend from the jewel
er’s place through the carpet store,
aud thence to the street, where oue
of the burglars must have been on
guard, ready to give warning of the
approach of the police.
The burglars evidently secreted
themselves in the carpet store on
Saturday evening, aud when that
place was closed ior the day, went to
work upon the wall. They began iu
the tire-place, and after removing a
wall of three bricks in thickness,
struck the slight boarding on the
other side. Two clocks that hung on
the wall in the jewelry store fell, and
oue of them was crushed. The hands
of the latter marked 6.15; the others
were stopped at 6.10. It is inferred
from this that the burglars began
work upon the safe at about tho time
wheu the police officers on duty in
tbe night-time are relieved.
The front of the store is much "ex
posed ; there were no shutters, and a
light was burning, as usual, through
out the night. The police officer on
that beat was three blocks away at
the relieving point when the safe
door was broken from its hinges.
About two hundred watches, a
lot of diamond and amethyst
rings, besides other jewelry, and
ever S3OO iu money were taken away.
Something over $2,000 worth of silver
ware was pilled up behind the safe,
but the thieves seemingly had no op
portunity to escape with it. An
old-fashioned, worn jimmy, a sledge
hammer, and a chisel were found
rear the safe. There was another
safe in the room, but this was not
disturbed. This is the first time
within three years that a burglary
has been penetrated in Capt. Mc-
Donnell’s precinct, aud the Captain
an! his special officers were active
last night in searching for the
thieves. About a month ago, tbe
front door lock of the store was tam

man should be put on special duty to

evening sent a list of the missing
property to f heCaptain. The figures
footed up $15,000. No arrests have

Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
For all the purposes of a Family Physio;
and for curmg Coativeness, Jsundice,
Indigestion, Foul Stomach, Breath,
Headache, Erysipelas, Rheuma
tism, Eruptions and Skin Diseases,
Biliousness, Dropsy, Tumors,
Worms, Neuralgia; as a Din
ner Pill, for purifying the Blood,
are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill a day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote vig
orous health. *
Ayer’s Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and
have obtained a world-wide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that obstructions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the every-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
ous diseases that have baffled the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient action
they gripe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inflamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
In all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
PREPARED by
Dr. J. C. AYER k CO., Lowell, Mass.,
