s. aBsURp1TY AND DISHONESTY"


Harper's Weekly and Mr.. George William
Curtis, far from solving our doubt as to which
has been repudiating and rebuking the other.
involve us this week in fresh perplexities.
One or the other Of them says that the Dem
ocratic party cannot hOnOrably support MIR.
Greeley now because they have heretofore
disagreed with him on the most important
public questions. Therefore, continues the
writer, "the absurdty and dishonesty of tho
Democratic action are equally apparent"
But not long ago Mr. Curtis (or was it
Hayper's Weekly?) told us that we ought not TO
choose military man for President, because
the school of the soldier is not the school IN
(which a President of the United States
should be trained. In peaceful free soci-
"ety the qualities of the soldier are by no
"means those which are best fitted for tho
"work of government. Military heroes, how
"ever pure, however siDgle-hearted, however
"noble, are, by the necessity OF the case, ac-
customed to regard their own will as law,
" and will inevitably incline to govern coun-
"try as il it were an army. The spirit from
(which military candidacy springs is impa-
"tience of constitutional rule; 1t is the in
"stinct of despotism." And here we find Mr..
Curtis (or is it Harper's WeeklyO supporting
military candidate and using the bittercst
language toward those who will not do like

lars Of the late animated contest in that State.
The general situation, aside from the contin-
gcncies connected with the unsettled question
of the GovernOrship, is encouraging and
cheerful. The field has been well fought over /;
and the campaign for November has already
begun in earnest The assurance of victory is
complete with the Liberals.

Senator Schurz's speech to his feowGer-
mans in Chicago, delivered last Saturday, was
brilliant and telling effort. The report
which we print, full as it is, must somewhat
detract from the merit of the original per-
Torrance, translated and transmitted by tele-
graph as it has been for our readers. The
Senator pointedly shows how dangerous are
the snail violations of Constitutional law
which Administrationists are continually beg
ging us to overlook. Popular liberty is seldom
overthrow. by a movement preluded by blasts
of trumpets the sapping of the structure is
noiseless and unseen. The Senator is equally
happy in his admonition to the reformers who
are hard to please he reminds them that true
reform does not wait until all possible prefer
ences are met it marches on with all avail
able means-instantly. The speech will be
widely read and will be specially influential
in the peculiar crisis for which it was pre-
nared

A letter from Terre Haute describes the en-
thusiasm with which the ceremonies of open
ing new railroad to be built from that city
to Cincinnati was celebrated. Although in
volved in lively political contest, it would
seem that all differences were for the moment
forgotten. and even the managers of rival
railroad interests joined hands in the general
rejoicing over the new enterprise, which is ex-
pected to aid largely in developing the mining
and industrial interests of the block coal region
of Indiana.

That no lives were lost by the disaster to
the steamer Bristol near Newport, last Friday
night is the marvellous feature of the acct
dent. The Newport and Fail River boats are
crowded with travellers at this season of the
year, and, in a panic like that which any
serious collision must produce, some of the
passengers would be almost sure to leap
overheard. AS it was, fortunately, the people
on board had time to collect their thoughts
before they could get out of their rooms, and
the nearness of the steamer 10 the flats pre-
vented her from sinking.

The employment of civil suits for political
purposes is not new invention. nor is 1T
altogether an honorable or a safe game, since
two may play at it. We do not share the sus-
piciOns of the friends of Mr.. John p. Lindsay,
who attribute the suit against him to malicious
conspiracy, in which journalists are engaged,
to injure him and reflect dscredit on the pO-
litical headquarters to which he has been at
tached. In the first place, we do not see how
the personal legal complications of any person
can attach discredit to bis party; and in the
second, we cannot see that anything more than
reasonable suspicious of the alleged conspiracy
are advanced. But if there is any proof, let
it be forthcoming at once, for if there are
those who degrade journalism by resorting to
ISLANDERS and conspiracies for political pur-
poses, the oftencr and sooner they are made to
figure before Grand Juries the better for
journalism.

1t is in order for Mr.. Thomas Murphy's
man, VIM Haw, jr., and Mr.. Tweed's gentle
man, Edward Moore, to come forward and
give an account of their joint stewardship of
a Ring swindle III which they doubtless repre-
scented their old masters. The story which
we tell elsewhere of their frauds in the build
ing of the Eighteenth Ward Market is semi
official. 1t will be official in few days at
least, and all their best efforts cannot keep it
from being made public. The disbursement
of S35OOOO in half finishing half a building,
the whole of which was to have cost not more
than $4,000, is the interesting subject to
which Mr.. Haw particularly can address him
self with great prOpriety.

Unhappy Peru has just been afflicted with
another bloody revolution. President Balta
who reached his place by conspiracy and
revolt, has been assassnated by one OF the
candidates in the late Presidential election
BY some law of compensation, the assassin
Gutierrez-was in turn killed by counter
revOlutionists, and the shocking affair termi-
mated in the Inauguration of Senior Pardo,
another candidate against Gutierrez, as Presi-
dent of The Republic. Perhaps, when all OF
the political leaders have thus been exter-
minated, Peru will have peace

The Hon. Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania
is among the latest of the prominent men
who have left the Grant party for that OF the
Liberals. His letter declaring his political
sentiments published in THE TRIBUNE to-day,
is a generous tribute, also, to the worth of the
Liberal candidate for the Presidency. AS
Representative in Congress and Speaker of
the House of Representatives, Mr.. Grow has
won fame and honor. His influence in the
politics of his own State is large; and his
presence in the Reform ranks will make an
Administration success in Pennsylvania
more difficult achievement than ever.

The Oppressed Women OF Utah


We have heard good deal about
the oppressed and degraded women Of
Utah, and the uncleau aud tyrann;cal
vassalage which the Mormon social
system imposes upon the female sex.
This string has been tuned and played
upon until it appears to have snapped.
1t seems now that the women are al
most every body in Utah. They have
more power and more rights than they
have anywhere else on this green earth
and the boosted lord of creation is en-
tirely a secondary personage IN the
land of the saints. This may look
like a strange condition for Utah, of
all the world, but it is true. That ter
ritory and its social system seems TO
have been the lock aud key by which
women have at last entered int9aHibee
wider, nobler sphere for which they
have prayed and worked.
Now. the world should know that in
Utah woman holds in her hand the
ballot, that she is eligible to every of
fee, that she may plead her own cause
before high court. that if her hus-
band ill-treats her she may prosecute
him that Que half of all his earnings
is hers that she is his absolute supe-
rior; that she may sit on juries and
fnd him guilty of bigamy, cruelty to
her, neglect of his children, or other
crime. and that she under the fearful
despotism" of Utah can be her OWL
law executor and judicial expounder
What more power do the women oi
Utah want to enable them to throw of
the burden of mans yoke They
make their own laws, select their OWL
officers, are their own lawyers and
judges, they own one half of theil
husbands property aud all of their
own. Truly the women of Utah ar,
shamefully downtrodden.

Por the Hickman Courier


BY an order of the Fulton County
Court, the question of submitting to
the property holders of overAowed
lands, whether they will be taxed to
build the Levee from Hickman to Mad
rid Bend, is to be voted on the 10th Of
this month. The property holder in
such lands as are reclaimed alone are
to be taxed, and that not exceeding
fifty cents per annum on the acre, and
in no event shall the whole amount OF
tax exceed two dollars per acre. The
owner Of the lands may not have to
pay the tax, by the fact of voting for
it, for it only confers the authority ON
Il Board of Directors who are hereafter
to be elected, whether the tax shall be
levied or not This Board of Direc-
tors are elected by the land owners, and
such others as may subscribe money,
to aid in building the Levee.
OF course no Board of Directors
would be chosen by the stockholders
and land owoers who would undertake
TO build the Levee until the whole
amount of means was secured to build
the entire liue, aud Of such dimensions,
as would secure its permanency, and
fully reclaim the land within its limits.
The guaranty that such method would
be adopted, is found in the fact, that
all stock paid, or tax collected, would
be useless, and the money thrown away,
without complete and perfect Levee,
the lchole route. Assuredly no land
owner would vote for Director, who
would take MS money aud waste it.
This vote secured, that much stock
is subscribed toward the object, then
attention must be directed to the own
ers of overhowed lands in Tennessee
to secure the remainder to complete the
work, and if we fail fIom that source
then the enterprise falls, and We are no
worse than when we begun. But
caunot believe that we will fail, if the
proper exeltion or effort is used. The
fact that there is from 100, 600, to 150,
900 acres Of land to be reclaimed,
from a comparatively worthless state,
and transformed into as good and valu
able class as the high lands OF Mad
rid Bend, at such a trifiDg expense, of
notexceedlng two dollars an acre, Is
so striking a proposition as needs only
to be presented to be accepted. Ii
unity of action can be secured in Ten
uessee as it will, believe, iu Kentucky.
in less than two years the entire work
will be finished and ready for the iron,
but to accomplish an enterprise SO de-
sirable, so fraught with advantages, so
imperati,ely demanded, all must work
and the work should begin. at this end
of the line. Three fourths of the
length of the line to be built lies in
Kentucky, while not one fourth of the
lands that will be reclaimed is within
our borders. yet We must act in concert
from both States, making one common
in purse, as we'll as in benefits.

The HICKMAN AND MADRID BEND
LEvEE-.GRAND Picnic Der. 19.-
Thursday last, according to appoint
meut, friends of the Hickman and
Madrid Bend Levee and Railroad
Company, held meeting in the inter-
est of said enterprise, at Campbell's 5
school house, on Sassafras ridge. There
was but few out, but those present in
dicated that the sentiment of the land
owners, generally, was in favor of the
levee, and that the proposition would
carry by nearly a unanimous vote. BY
request, Capt. Tyler read the charter
OF the company, and explained its pro-
visions. Judge Kingman then read
the order of the County Court ordering
the election on the 18th of October,
and made some brief suggestions in
regard to the general interest of the
enterprise and of getting out a full
vote.
Capt. Campbell, then moved that
Esq. Jas. Bushart, be called to the
chair and moved that the friends Of
the enterprise, appoint Saturday, the
18th day of October, as the occasion
for another meeting, and that the chair
appoint committees to arrange for u
pic mic, etc. The motion was adopted
by the meeting, aud the committees
| appointed. Judge Kingman, Capt
Tyler and Judge Walker, have giver
their consent to deliver addresses or
that day. We think there will be
fine turn out on the occasion, botl
from the town and county. The Hick
man Cornet Baud has been invited, and
we suppose will be present.
This is an enterprise in which the
town of Hickman is largely interested
more than all others-and each anC
every one of our citizens should in
terest themselves in its behalf.

POLITIcAL SPEAKING To Day
Henry Houston, a Republican candi-
date for Congress in this District, we
are requested to announce, will address
the people on the political issues of the
day. at City Hail, to day, at o'clock.
Mr. Houston, is recent convert from
the Democracy to Grantism, and is the
nominee of the Paducah Grant Club for
Congress. Col. Trabuc, the other Re-
publican candidate for Congress is still
in the field, but it appears the party
cannot center on either of the aspirants.
However, Houston was esteemed very
clever young man when Demacrat,
and we solicit for him good audience
and a respectful hearing. If Mr. H..
will divide time. he will be replied to-.
