ES- The Washington correspondent

EB- The Washington correspondent
of the N. Y Daily Tribune says:
"The manner in which partisan tele
grams from the South have been manu-
featured and published in the North, to
further the personal designs of unscrupu-
lous and ambitious men, was well shown
up in the developments brought out in
reference to The Washington Chronicle
daring the progress Of the recent Georgia
investigation. The same game is now
going on in connection with the internal
affairs of other Southern States 1t is be-
lieved that the ensuing elections in the
South will result, in some instances, not
perhaps in the defeat of the Republican
party, but in the defeat of certain individ-
uals who are and have been using that
party rs a means only to their own self
ish advancement Foreseeing this, the
effort is to get up an excuse to declare
martial law, and local newspapers in the
interest of the men alluded to are teen
ing with accounts of outrages. This is
particularly the case in North Carolina,
and no surprise need be felt at daily
dish ofhorrors from that State, served up
in The Chronicle, for said one of the

ANOTHER VICTORY Idaho has gone
Democratic, elccting Sam. Merritt dele
gate to Congress by a majority of from
500 to 900. Every county IN the Terri
tory heard from gives Democratic majori-

ton of the Mormon county Of Oneida,

the county officers elected, with few
scattering exceptions, are Democrats.

FER We hear the name Of Hon. V.
DELL, Editor of the Neo Era, mentioned
as candidate for the Radical nomlna-
ton for Congress in this District. We
ventue the prediction that he stands not
a ghost Of chance for it. He must rec
ollect, that it is not those that work the
hardest and beat the bush who usually
gather the fruit You are good fellow as
an election comes around and work is
to be done. But when there is division
of the spoils, n back seat is considered
good enough. Joking aside, if faith
full, consistent worker in the party, de
serves well at the hands of the Radical
party, certainly VALENTINE DELL does.
We are only locker ont is not our

much "wool pulling when harmony
and good feeling should reign.

National Democratic Address.

Last week we had the pleasure of lay
ing before our readers the Democratic
Address from the Senators and Members
of Congress of that party The signlti
cance of this address, may be overlooked
by casual reader, hence we beg leave to
call attention to it again. 1t is short and
NAV soon be re-read and and if carefully
read, the perusal must be profitable to
Democrats.
1t fully endorses the position taken by
the Press, long ago, and we feel still
more convinced of the correctness ofour
views of the " situation. 1t is useless
for Democrats to attempt to disguise the
TACT, that marplots " exist in the Demo
cratic ranks. Men who are impracticable
in ideas and action men who are utterly
unfit for position at this particular juno
ture of our affairs men who, if elevated
to official position, would do no more to
relieve our present embarrassments, than
the Radicals now in power. 1t is certain
ly the part Of wisdom to ignore the pre-
tensions Of all such. Let the people now
declare open war upon politicians, Office
hunters and adventures. This is no
time to hazard our interests by confer
ring favor on men of whom we know lit
tie or in whom we cannot implicitly trust.
We land when we say zee, we mean the
entire people-of all parties) need hon
est, Industrious, incorruptible men We
want no man in Office who has not made
an honest living out of office. We have
had enough Of public paupers; and men
who look to the government for sup
port, without half enough intelligence to
make decent support for family.
Away with all such They are but pro-
fessional beggars who fatten on the sub
stance of the pcople,-grow rich and ar
rogant, and give little time to the true in
terests of the people, whose votes eleva-
ted them to office We want no politi-
cal managers and wire-pulers. Let them
90 to the shades for time anyhow, and
it will be better for all Of us, if they go
forever. Let us for once ignore partisan
objects for higher ends. Let us wrest our
suffering country from the grasp of the
vultures, who now prey upon her vitals.
Let us put our Nation and State upon a
living footing. Let the truly conservative
element of both parties combine and tri-
umph over wrong, fraud and corruption,
no matter in what party it may be found.
This can be done and 1T MUST be done
Let the people rise in their might and
swear by all that is true and honest, that
this Nation shall be freed from ticksters
and imbeciles. Don't wait for politicians
to do this, for they will never do it
People of Crawford you can do much
in this matter. Call upon your best men,
without asking whether he belongs 10 the
Republican party or its opposite. Ask
only, il he is capable, and is he honest.
If so, elect him. Forget party feuds and
bitterness. Let the dead issues of the
past remain untouched They are set
tled-lct them rest In the full and sin
cere meaning of the words: accept the
situationw Listen no longer to imprac-
ticable Democrats or impracticable Re
publicans. Pass them by and find your
advisers among the truly peace 1oring ono
