IGNORANCE AND WORSE.

II ia a general rule that Ignorance ana bad
manners 20 together. Sometimes lying accom-
nanies the other accomplishments, and then
yvo have the material for perfect Journalist
after the pattern of The BCenin0 Post. We
have had such frequent testimony lately of
the vast and varied transformation and tho
unreasonable vulgarity which prevail in the
office of our once respected contemporary that
we ought not to be surprised at any fresh
eccentricity in the acceptance of facts OF free
dom in the use of language observable in that
establishment; but we confess that we were
taken by surprise by one or two things on
Tuesday afternoon. In announcing the declafa-
ton of Mr.. Frederick Hassaurek of the Cin-
cinnati VolksbLatt in favor of the Liberal can
didates, The Post, under the extraordinary
suppostion that this eminent and sterling Re
publican was q Bourbon Democrat OF the Dun
can stripe, explained bis decision on the theory
that "the Louisville Convention did not, IN
"hs opinion, offer the Democrats any hopo
" for success OF for perpetuatng their organ
"zation." That is pretty well for ponticai
newspaper!
But what shall we say of The Posts treat
ment of John G.. Whittier's letter in the Same
paperf Some cOlOred clIi|enS VI 80
having asked Mr.. Whittiers advice aoou'
voting, the poet refused to express any pici-
erence for one candidate or the other' Dub
wrote substantially as follows; Ii you prefer
Gen. Grant, do not disgrace yourselves Dy
abusing such men as Sumner and Greeley II
YOU prefer Greeley, you need not therefore
forget your obligations to Garrison and Phil
Inns. Yet The Post actually prints the letter
with the following heading: "Whttier on
"the Canvass He supports Gen. Grant but
"deplores personal abuse.' Ignorance OF
course will not excuse a falsehOOd like that.

PRODUCE YOUR EVIDENCE.

Mr.. Cakes Ames says he has given evidence
in court, upsetting McComb. Why, then,
does MT he produce it From the beginning
we have insisted, solely and continuously,
that the letters and other documents
published were legal evidence and could
only be confronted by other legal evidence.
We have carefully explained that what was
furnished was ca parte, and have demanded
the other side. Instead we get mere sweeping
newspaper denials. Why not bring out the
evidence
The denial that stock was given Messrs.
Henry Wilson g. Co. is not at all incompati-
bic with Col. McCombs story. One of the
commonest tricks of the lobby is to carry
stocks for members-never vesting the title in
them, since that would lead to certain expo
sure, but paying them the dividends, selling the
stocks at the proper time, and paying over the
profits. Has Mr.. Ames had anything to do
with little transactions of that sortY If not,
what does he mean in his letters about placing
the stock here on the ground, where he knows
the men, and where it will do most good 7 (

'for State officers and Members OF Congress
at the October election, whatever they may
"dO in November"
This is strictly true, and as the parties in
Ohio were before pretty evenly balanced the
Liberal Republican vote will be fair meas
ure of the majority. This is not only large,
but constantly increasing. Important acces-
sions are making every day. The
most valuable thing about them is that
they are usually of men independent
of politics as q business, and owning
no allegiance except to their own cOnscien-
tious views of public duty. Among the most
eminent and influential of recent accessions
of course we include the Hon. Frederick
Hassaurek, whose ringing and eloquent
speech at Avondale last night whereof we
regret to find ourselves able to print only
the scautiest summary to-day gives the
| finest exposition which the campaign has
yet produced of the reasons why an indie
pendent and thoughtful citizen sincerely deslr-
GUS of reform, should vote for Greeley rather
than Grant 1t Is thoroughly manly and
scholarly speech, free from passion ana
prejudice, and entirely above party. LII
shows with as much logic as eloquence, how
any man who desires peace and re-
union, the return of prosperity, some
reform of the Civil Service, some raising OIL
the standard of political motives and actions,
must vote in this campaign for the Liberal
candidates. This admirable discourse Is sure
of a wide echo. Mr.. Hassaurek is an ora
tor of unusual sympathetic power. lie mas
hosts of attached and devoted friends. But
beyond the effect of his espousal Oh
the Liberal cause, is its significance. lie VIII

circumstances and the sentiments which con-
WINGED him will convince thousands of Others

ABOUT TIE M1YORdLTY.

For some time past Senator James O'Brien
has been Boosting, in moments of indiscretion,
that he would obtain the Tammany Hall nom
ination for Mayor. The discovery made yes
terday that delegations to the Tammany Gen
eral Committee from several districts were
secretly acting in his interest serves to show
at once how justifable were his boasts,
and how absurd his hopes of such
recommendation. Tammany Hall more than
any other reform or reformed organization
appreciates the fact that the party which puts
forward other than able, pure and honest men
for any municipal Office, commits an error not
readily retrieved, and one which will provoke
immediate. and deserved defeat
But we believe that all parties really
engaged in the municipal contest under

THE HEART OF THE CONTINENT SOUND

| THE HEART OF THE CONTINENT SOUND.
The fright into which the Administration
was thrown in regard to the Maine election
has had results which were never counted
upon The entire energies of the Executive
Department were devoted to saving that
| State, and an amount of money en-
tirely disprOportiOnate to its political
importance was poured into the two endan-
gered districts for the purpose of corrupting
yenal OF Indifferent voters. But while this
! contest for an already sure prize was going
on, an infinitely more important field of &C
ton was neglected. with results which only
Just now begin to be perceived. The great
Western States where the reform movement
of this year began appear destined to give it
the most effective support, and with the
assistance of the solid column of the
Middle States to gain for it one of
the most brilliant triumphs in all our political
history. In Indiana the canvass has been one
Of the severest ever known, and the results
are in the highest degree encouraging to
the Liberal cause. The Grant Committee
now claim the State by majority so
small that it shows they have no real
hope of carrying it, while the
their majority is not at least four times as
large as that claimed by Mr.. MOrton's fol-
lowers. In Illinois, state of things exists
which was naturally to be expected from the
character and influence of the leaders in the
Liberal movement. In no State except i'll
New-York has there been so great an
accession from the regular Republican
party to the side of Reform. The State Gov
eminent went over in body, and in the CEN
trail portion of the State there is scarcely any
thing left of the historical Republican organ
izatiOn which made Lincoln President and
Trumbull Senator. Nowhere in the Union
has the German element been so solidly
united under its favOrite public men as there.
In Chicago the Germans are almost unan-
imously Liberal. In Springfield they may be
said to be entirely 50. The majority is an
enormous one, 10000 But unless the coolest
and most experienced politicians in the State
are completely at fault, it is already reduced
to nothing, and the preponderance transferred
to the other side.
But cheering as the indications are in Indi-
ana and Illinois, in Ohio tho Liberal move
ment is advancing with still more steady and
inyincible momentum. Ii has been the most
quiet and at the same time the most effective
campaign possible. The Liberals have gained
ground almost imperceptibly day by day.
until at last the oflice-holders are
thoroughly aroused and aware of their
danger. We think they have walked up too
late. The State of Ohio is too big to buy
and too intelligent to humbug. The Grant
organ in this city admits that the Democratic
vote will be cast solid for the Liberal CO.
aliton. Its favorite correspondent who has
orders never to tell the truth when he can helpit

Capt. Kennedy of the Sixth Police Precinct
called at this office, yesterday, to assure us
that officially he took no part IN politics, and
meant to do police duty only. This is a wise
though sudden resolution. The police of his
precinct have heretofore taken too active a
part in politics; and it is time they understood
that it is not part of detective or patrol
duty to canvass their districts and inform
their subOrdinates and fellows that they must
vote for Grant and Dix and 0'Brien.

At this season of the year the demand Tor
currency to pay for purchases of grain in the
West and cotton in the South, tends to ex-
haust the reserves of our banks. At the same
time the u. S. Treasury receives much more
gold in payment of customs than it discharges
in payments of interest. This also tends to
diminish the reserves of the banks Two
consequences follow: First, that while the
ability of the banks to lend is con-
stantly diminishing, (they being obliged
by law to keep in their vaults one
dollar in cash for every four dollars of their
obligations to note-holders and depository,
the pressure upon them for loans steadily In
creases Second, that this state of things is
seized and aggravated by spectators, who
make gold or currency artifcially scarce, exact
usurious rates of interest force down the
prices of stocks, and otherwise disorganize
the regular course of trade and commerce. All
this is in the highest degree injurious to
legitimate business, except for the lessons of
caution and other moral precepts which are
conveyed, and if pushed to extremes might
result in ruin to thousands and serious check
to the prosperity of the country. What pro-
cress has been made in this sort of business
during the last few days the readers of our
money article are well aware. Secretary Bout

Street, and is endeavoring to straighten out

political purposes; but he has changed his

We print this morning dispatch from
Washington making a startling charge OF the
most sordid corruption against Brighten.
Dent, the brother-in-law and Secretary OF the
President. We are assured that the gentle
man making the charge is prepared to swear
to it. 1t would seem incredible, but for the
occurrences and disclosures of the last few
months, which have prepared us for anything.
We wait for contradiction before calling for
the affidavit of our informant.
One of the silliest of the boasts with which
the Grant party are striving to keep up the
waning courage of their followers in the face
of the Frightening prospects every day exhibits
in the critical States of Ohio Indiana, and
PENNSYLVANIA, is to announce with a flourish
that the Democrats are constantly falling of
from the pledge of Baltimore. The Hon.
Horatio Seymour the last Democratic candl-
date for the Presidency, and the man OF all
others who has most reason to be lukewarm
in his support of Mr.. Greeley, takes the
stump for the ticket and platform of Gin
cinnati, as adopted at Baltimore, this evening
at Oneida, in company with his old antago-
mist, the Hon. De Witt C. LittlejOhu. The
Hon. George II. PendletOn, the first
choice of a majority of the delegates to the
last National Democratic Convention, for the
Presidency, and one of the most conspicuous
Democratic statesmen of the country, returned
from Europe in the steamer arriving night
before last, and has already started for Ohio
for the same purpose. He pledges himself tol
unremitting work from now until the day OF
the eleotion and all Western men know what
work from Geo. II. Pendeton means.-NoW

Whether William Forester, so-called, be
guilty of the murder of Benjamin Nathan or
not, the opening scene in his trial, yesterday,
was most extraordinary, striking, and dra-
matte That young woman who casually
saw the supposed murderer at the gate of the
Nathan house should, after lapse of two
years, be able to identify the accused, is re-
markable enough. But Miss keenan, did, yes
terday, most clearly and inteligently fix upon
Forester as that man. Here is an important
thread in the tangled skein of evidence at
once. Let us see if it will lead to any con-
elusive fixing of the chain.
