Richie, Democratic nominee for Con-
gress, together with Mr.. - McKAIG
and THos. f. GoNDER, Esq, address
ed a large audience in Net" = Hall on
Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Necklaces address was confined
to general topics He traced polite
al history from a period dating sever
al years back to the present showing
how it had eliminated in the issus of
to-day. AS a remedy for the disor-
der prevalent he urged the election
Of GREELEY and Brown, and john
R1TCHIE.
Mr.. R1TcHlE was then introduced.
He explained the operation of tariff
legislation-how the reduction of
public expenses occasions diminution
of tariff duties-how, in the distribu
ton of tariff leyies the large inter
ests oyerbsar the small ones-how the
Allebany coal production is sought
to be seriously injured by the vast
manufacturing monopolies Of New
England AS the best provision
against future onslaught upon our
coal interests, he thought JonN RIToH-
he should be reelected Turning to
general issues, he advocated the cleo
ton of GREELEY and BRowN, etc.
Mr.. r. is a careful, deliberate speak
er, and knows how to argue his own
case. His remarks in closing, com
plimentary to the Hoffman Cornct
Band, were happily expressed and as
we'll merited
Mr.. GoNDEs then addressed the
meeting for a short time, showing
why Mr.. RIrcHIE is preferable to
Mr.. LowSDEs. etc, after which the
meeting adjourned.

THE TEST.

The sincerity of great and little Dem
ocratic organs will find that coming
events will bring out the true metal and
leave the dross to take care of itself
They have denounced Grant as tyrant
and if there is any other opprobious cpl
tibet they have not assaulted him with, il
is stuck away in some obscure corner OF
the dictionary where it cannot be found.
Now it is-contrary to all human calcn-
lation six months sincee-ntirely possible
to defeat this bad President and all his
surroundings, military rings and all
sorts of rings, cabals and cliques. 1t is
nossible TO make clean sweep--Dents,
brothers-in.law, corruptionists, and all.
The Liberal Republican movement is
founded ON a calculation that the Dem-
ocracy cannot elect President of their
own party, and are SO Disguised withGrant
and his administration that they will
support any honest Republican to defeat
him. So far as the organs of the Democ-
racy have spoken upon the subject, they
have given assurance that they will do
30. If Democrats have been sincere in
their hostility to the administration, and
are feeding the Republican Liberals
with no false hopes, they will soon have
an opportunity of proving their faith by
their works. A Democrat who would
not support the nominee of the Cincin-
natl Convention is not dying by inches
to secure the defeat of Grant and his
But we have full faith
in the truth of the Democracy, and have
only suggested the foregoing points be-
cause we have seen in some distant
quarters a Democratic candidate spoken
of as a matter Of course. 1t is, how
ever, little premature to discuss the
subject at this time.

c. J. ADAMS.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adamas has eff
fectually disposed of his chance for
nomination at Cincinnati by an abrupt,
overbearing letter. In regard to it he
says:
II the call on me were an unequivocal one,
based on confidence in my character earned
out in practice the principles which / pro-
fessed, then indeed would come test Of my
courage in an emergency. But If 1 am 70 be
negotiated for and have assurances given
that / am honest, you will be so kind as 70
draw me out Of that crowd.
That crowd" is good for an aspi
rant to the Presidency. The letter is
cold, and has disguised those who had
advocated his claims. His tone is about
this: "Well, fellows, if you want to
nominate me you may do SO without any
pledges. and, iu addition, you must un
derstand that you compliment your
selves, not me. Good morning. John
show these gentlemen the door," Mr.
Fernando Wood stated the other day il
the House that if Adams should be nom
mated at Cincinnati, the Democrac!
would bring out candidate Of thei
own. He declared that they would no
support Adams.

THE TWO SIDES.

The other day in Illinois masked men
went to the house of an old man of sew
enty.five and murdered him. About the
same time a similar gang in Kentucky
went to the house Of negro and pun
ished him with great severity. Being
ordered to leave his home, he packed up
and fed to Frankfort for safety. We
are not informed as to the character of
the offense for which the old white man
was killed in Illinois, nor of that for
which the negro was punished in Ken
lucky. Here are two cases of outrage,
but on different sides of the Ohio river.
On the Kentucky side, the beating OF q
negro was Ku-Klux outrage, and will
be inquired into by the Federal courts.
Radical papers and orators will make
handle of it for party purposes, and In
clude in one tremendous arraignment
all the States and people of the South.
The affair in Illinois was on the loyal
side of the Ohio, and though the muir
derers we're masked, and to all intents
and purposes Ku.Klux, the murdered
man of seventy-fve years was only a
white man. This is not a case coming
under the Ku-Klux law. That villainous
enactment extends only over the South.
The courts of the United States viii pay
no attention to the Illinois murder. The
administration can make no capital Of
it. But in Kentucky it is different
That was once a slave State aud sent
troops to fight for the South. If there is
a shame redder, and blooiier, and in
tenser, and scorches and bhsters more
than another, it should descend upon
the cheek of a government that makes
heaven on one side Of river and hell
on the other.

The Indiana papers are reprinting the
following as Hayden proverbs: 1.-THE
day that the little chicken is pleased ID
the very day that the hawk takes hold Of
him. Eggs ought not to dance with
stones. Before you speak turn your
tongue over seven times. When you
go to the donkey's house don't ask if his
ears are long A little dog may have
courage before his masters door, It's
only the shoe that knows whether the
stocking has holes. Good soup may be
made in an old saucepan. The cock
wears spurs, but is no horseman for all
that. Pardon does not heal the wound.
