CONCEALsNG THE TRUTH.

Speaking OF the Grant Journals, Mr..
Greeley said in one of his talks to the pao-
pie of Pennsylvania: "Two-thirds Of our
journals have never told our people what
the truth is about these cyrpet-bag villains.
They suppress the facss, they conceal the
facts, and as consequence the people do
not understand them" A newspaper that
deliberately suppresses the truth to shield
criminal acts from just punishment is a
party TO the crime, and should be treated
accordingly. Public robbers can never be
expelled from Office, North or South, until
this kind of punishment falls alike Oh all
their dishonest supporters. Any other
treatment fosters fraud and corruption.
The public robberies that have been per-
petrated il Pennsylvania ard New York
city, differ in no respect from similar vii
lainies practiced in Tennessee, Arkansas,
Georgia, South Carolina and other South
ern states. Newspaper concealments for a
consideration, are at the bottom of this lam
eBtable state of American society; in which
many priests are politicians, and trading
politicians are public robbers. Some be.
heve that an approaching military despOt-
ism will cure these disorders on the body
polite. Nothing can check the growth of
corruption and crime in this country, but
the union of all honest men to put down
falsehOod.
Four years ago when Grant and his
keepers said "Let US have peace" it was
false pretense to gain political power. They
did not mean peace and good will be-
tween all men North and South, but the
reverse, as their conduct has proved. Now,
their hold on public plumber depends on
their success in concealing facts, and falsi-
flying history. Let the whole truth be
known by ful aud fair showing of all re-
cords Of official speculation in stocks, lands,
houses and the sale of Office, pecuiations
from public funds held in trust, and the
vote would be twenty 10 one in favor Of
purifying the GRAFT Augean stable.
Already the compost heap is so hot that it
is ire-fanged. But farmer of wonderful
industry and sagacity is turning over and
ventilating this smoking and vilely odorous
dung heap, and it is to be hoped that il will
he soon buried ia some wheat field ont of
sight.
"Truth is mighty and must prevail"
in the end. Conceament and rascality
have long governed a down-trodden PEG
pie; but day of reckoning is not far off.
Let every honest man, both white and col.
ored, work for a change in the Admirstra-
ton to save his country by a reform that
was never before SO much needed.

IND DIANA.

Z. S. Alvord, Chairman Of the Demo
cratic State Committee, says the Moreau-
Morton party will rot poll over 800 OF 1000
votes in the State. He is also sure that
the extraction of that vicious, corrupt ele-
ment from the reform movement win add
thousands TO COR cause. He thinks the
State viii give Hendricks from 10000 to
5000 majority, and he does not reckon
without his host. John A. Finch, Chair
man Of the Liberal State Committee, says:
Positive information is in the hands OF
The committee as TO importation OF negroes
from Kentucky by the Grant gsRg; and 1t
is suggested to the scoundrels who accept
such advice at the hands of the pretended
friends Of the "colored ra,e,n that they had
better stay al home, unless they prefer the
Henitentiary to freedom. Our friends here
have organized most perfect system of
secret detective service, and the purity Of
the ballot is 10 be protected at all hazards.

Commercial, who accompanied Mr.. Gree
ley, and kept his eyes open, sums up:

dict: ls;. Hendricks elecsion by 10000

TnmraRArrnn TIDE.

Id july last a number of leading citizens
10 the counties of Richmond, Westmore-
land, Lancaster and Northumberland, Vir-
ginia, organized an agricultural and Inn
migration Society, WITH view of testing
What could be done for agriculture by en-
. courassing farmers from other States and
countries, to. settle among them. Col Brock
enbrough, President of this society, reports
progress in an interesting letter published
In The Richmond Enquirer, in which he
says rs5 =
ave have been compelled to start where
Northern emigration schemes end. We
have gone to the far West, invited gentle
men of intelligence, capital, position, and
influence to visit this section Of cur State
and compare its advantages to those offer
ed by the West. The inducements and
attractions of the country have given entire
satisfaction. We have made large and i'm
portant purchases. and we have now every
assurance that many persons Of character
and substance from the States of Iowa,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota, will move down
with theiffamilies in October next. Thus,
B-OAA4AAAOAiS SSA1N dAbC1
many years residence in the West, give up
every tie and association there formed, in
order to- avail themselves of the superior
advantages Of this section"
Intelligent men, coming into State or
district, from abroad are able, frequently,
to see agricultural advantages of great val
ne which residents have entirely overlooked
and neglected. 1t would not be difficult to
point out something of this kind in Middle
Tennessee. Farmers are quite familiar
with all local practices, but are little &C
quainted with farming as practiced in the
Northern States or Europe. Hence they
know all about corn, cotton and tobacco
culture, and very little concerning the
greater profits Of dairy husbanGry, wool
growing and raising hay by the thousand
tons. The adaptation Of their soil and
climate to these, and other industries, is
just a huckleberry above their persimmon.
1t is no disparsgement to any one kind of
fruit to say that, diversity of fruits adap-
ted TO the wants of mankind, will give bet.
ter returns than TO crowd and overstock
the market with one sort. To hold land in
large tracts, and most of that in an unculti-
waited and unproductive condition, is not
the way to raise the value of real estate,
build schools, churches and a prosperous
community. Land must be rendered far
more productive than it now is; and pre-
cisely how to do this, wise and skiilful farm
ers from distant States will do something
to teach US. Where we have ten acres of a
sorry mixture of grass and weeds, they will
have one hundred acres of heavy grass and
hay with the weeds left out.

THE eminent Virginia statesman, Mr..
Hunter, in his great Greeley and Brown
speech says:
] desire to SOW the seeds of sympl thy and
affection among all our people, that the tie
OF citizenship may become a common bond
and mutual support to all its members.
For that among other reasons vote fer
Horace Greeley, as he is the leader in this
great movement. Secondly, desire to cul-
tivate harmony, just feeling, and affection
among the different races in the Southern
States, because they are essential to the
prosperity and happiness Of the wholo-a
mater in which We in the South have a
much deeper interest than can exist else
where, for our success and happiness in a
very great measure depend upon it. For
this reason l support Horace Greeley, be-
cause l believe that he will do what he can
10 produce this harmony of feeling.
The voters of Tennessee should support
those candidates who are for sowing "the
seeds of sympathy and affection among all
our people," In the language Of Frank
Cheatham, "'what we desire is peace, peace,
