Of the men who have given evidence

OLES HOPE, SEDY 9TH, 1900.
D. w. MooRE Dear Sir: We to-day, in
this country, are surrounded ny scenes OF
discord and confusion. Neigh6oc is ar
rayed in hostile feeling against neighbor /;
and all belonging 10 the same churches
and sup at the same communion tables
Do not the true principles OF Christ's
church teach peace and good will to all
men, and teach us also to love our neigh
Dor as ourselves? Those principles are
the star Of hope TO all good men. But
where ace they to-day? They have all
passed away like chaff before the wind =
and like "Virtue. Liberty and Indepen-
dence," have been changed TO tyranny
and military de,potism. Now, Mr.. Edi-
tor. with these facts before us, what have
the Democratic party Of to-day contended
for? Have they not constantly sought an
honorable peace in the midst of all this
confusion and blood and are they not
centending to-day, with all their might,
for such peace This is the ground, sir,
upon which we stand, as Democrats, in
Becclria township, and for this we are
branded as traitors, rebels and copper
heads. Why D.? because we advocate prin-
ciple which we know is in accordance
with the Constitution of the United States,
Viz: the freedom of speech, the liberty
of the press and the right Of the people to
assemble together to discuss matters be-
longing exclusively TO free people" Now,
Mr.. Editor, Uith those principles, and the
DEGREES of the immortal Jefferson and
Jackson, before us-lo-day, we cling to
Democracy as tho wrecked mariner does
10 the last plank and | am proud to say
that free people can never be ruleo with
Justice unless the power is based upon
Democracy and Constitutional Liberty
1t has been told us by some of our Repnb-
lcan friends, who are opposed to arresllng
men 10 crafty the evil designs of these
unprineipled Gends, who are not loyal to-
day, and never have been loyal to this
government, that some of us would be ta-
ken for treason. What treason in Bee
caria township Away with such fanati-
cism If treason exists, | can safely say
it is not with the Democracy. Now, sir,
where are the Democrats? Is the vast ar
my of this govern ment composed OF Re
publicans alone? No, no. /, is eompos-
ed of Democrats one and anew et
the lsnd-the friends 0{ white men
Withdraw this Sast ma nber and tho tail
end " will only be left. Now, those COW
boys" may prosecute us to to-day, as did
the same blood persecute our sires and
grandsires in l776, for opinions sake. But
they can never wipe Out the name nor the
principle. Firearms may clash, and ty-
rapny may come in all its various forms,
and still the name and principles Of De-
mocracy will live, and in the end triumph
over the heads of its enemies.

WHAT THE ZANEsyILLE Girls CAN Do

The conditions we're, that the same step

that in changing partners no relaxation
should be allowed, The hall was full o.
spectators when tho couples. five in nun

became animated. The eyes of the rival'
grew blind, their faces flushed aud veins
stood out, while leach separate hair stood
on end like the quilts upon the fretfu

THE dispatches have already stated that
JEFF. Davis Was on bic way to Washington
ViG Nashville. This route would involve a
long trip by wagons or on horseback to
Chattanooga, and we therefore doubt that
the route named has been chosen. We
should rather suppose that he has gone to
Savannah and from thence by sea to Wash.
iuRton. Some persons here, supposing that
JEFF. would arrive at Nashville, have been
sPeCulntirg in their minds whether he would
not continue on this way over the Baltimore
road.

use, as long az his headquarters should be
in the city, and rendering him the hospi
talities and civilities due to his position.
Gen. Sherman replied curtly, declining the
profered courtesy, aud adding that he
could not recognize Gen. Halleck. The Let
ter replied in friendly tone, and expressed
the hope that Gen. Sherman would not con
slider friendship of twenty years. standing
severed because he (H6lleck) had been com.
PEELED officially to perform an, unpleasant
duty, and expressing the Hopes that he
might have the pleasure of reviewing Gen.
Sherman's troops on their passage through
Richmond. To this Gen. Sherman replied
in substance that he could not recognize
Gen. Halleck, and that his corps command
ers were instructed that if they found him
in their march through Richmond in DO.
sitton to review the troops they must
change the direction of their march and
avoid him. The Committee ON the Con-
duct of the War, 1t may be added, sent a
message to Gen. Sherman, asking, 10 view
of their early adjournment, that he proceed
from Richmond to Washington by boat,
and appear before the committee at an
early day. he declined persmptorily, and
proceeded to march onward with his troops.
