evident truth that neither general ignor-

The history Of the world, from the earli-
est times down to the last miserable
mockery Of republicanism. in France,
teaches this fact, and | believe that
thoughtful minds will uphold me in say
ing that the monarches OF Europe owe
their stability to the ignorance and the

this House, in a rough and inartstic way,

LUTTRELL'S Law AND ORDER"
RESOLUTIONS

On the 22d day OF August 1870, the
Democracy of the First Supervisor Dis
trict, OF Trinity county, held Convention
for the purpose of nominating candidate
for Supervisor. Hon. j. X Luttrell, now
u candidate for Congress, was in tho
county ut the time and drew up set of
resolutions which were laid before the
Convention, at his instance, and adopted:
RESOLVED, That the Democracy Of
| Trinity county, ever faithful to the time
honored principles OF the party, declare
rs follows
FfrSt, That we are in favor of Free
Trade, and that we are opposed to the
lulnous High Tariff now imposed upon
lhe country by the present Congress that
the Tariff is unequal, unjust, and tends to
impoVerish the poor man and enrich tho
wealthy manufacturer.
Second, That the whole course of the
Republican party tends to the establish
ment of a moneNed arstocracy in our
land, and that they are the advocates OF
cheap labor, which is detrimental to the
interests OF the working classes.
7HNd, That the Republican party arc
responsible tOI the increase OF the Chinese
population on the Pacific Goa t. and should
be held to stict accountability for tho
same that they have heretofore and do
still encourage Chinese immigration to
this State by Congressional enactments
abrogaung all measures adopted by our
Legislature for the di-couragemcnt OF
Chinese immigration.
F6u1Ih, That the act of Congress which
seeks to abolish the law OF this State im-
posing " Foreign Miners License" is
unjust to and an outrage upon the white
miners Of this State, and was enacted for
the sole purpose OF encouraging Chinese
immigration that the Republican party,
who have had control of all the branches
Of the United States Government for tho
last ten years, have in this instance, As in
other parallel instances, egi-lntcd for tho
sole interests Of the colorcd races and to
the injury and prejudice OF the whites
and as they have held and exercised all
the powers OF the General Government,
they have meritcd and should receive the
unqualified condemnation of the white
laboring classes Of the country.
Ffth, That we will oppose the employ
ment Of Chinese in any capacity whatever
and that we Will oppose any and all per-
sons who may employ Chinese laborers
in the mines or any other capacity.
sixth, That when the Chinese refuse
to pay tbs License imposed upon them
by the laws of this State, we will by united
action eXpel them from the mines Of
Trinity county - peaceably if we can,
iorcibly il we must; that we will aid
John jackson, our worthy and efficient
Sheriff and Tax Collector, in the collection
Of the Folcign Miners Tax !" and in
case he il interrupted 10y the Congressional
or Republican party in the faithful per-
formanee OF II duty imposed upon him by
the laws OF this State, that we will con
tribute by every way possible and within
our power to aid him IN the performance OF
his sworn duty and should he finally bo
stopped from the collection Of said tax,
then, in that case, we will rid the county
/ OF Chinese miners, and to this end we will
cooperate with all anti-Chinese associa-
tons and organizations throughout tho

Death of william b. Seward

This eminent statesman died at
his residence in Auburn, N. Y, on
the 10th inst, after brief illness.
The news of the event will spread q
feeling of sadness over the entire
country, for in his death the coun-
try looses a great statesman and an
eminent citizen. We give upon the
outside Of this paper a complete
biography of his life, SO that it is
not necessary to refer to events
here. As public servant for more
than a third Of a century, he rendered
service to the country that entitled
him to high place in her affections
and memory. Like other great men
he had weaknesses and committed
errors, was ambitious and expert
enced disappointments, but in the
balance he will not be found want
ing, and the candid reflection of the
future historian will award to him a
high place among the men of his day
and generation.

as a Republican, one of the members
of the Greeley procession drew a
pistol and shot him dead. The peo-
pie broke and fed; and the process
sion marched on. After going some
distance the procession met, on Dis
quith street, party of colored men,
some of whom hurrahed for Grant.
A rush was made for them, and sew
eral pistol shots were fired from the
line of the procession; and a Negro
boy, fifteen years of age, was shot
through the head A little latter,
when policeman attempted to ar
rest the man who shot Capt. Barrett
he was struck over the head with an
ak, carried by one of the "wood-
choppers" of the procession, and ter
ribly wounded. All this near Hor-

hearing his speech on ''reconcilia-

The particulars of the murder OF
two Republicans in Baltimore, with
in sight of where Horace Greeley
stood, by a procession of Confeder-
ates engaged in giving him a sere-
made and reception, show even more
revolving than the first brief dis.
patch. Mr.. Greeley made a politi-
cal address in the afternoon, at a
meeting with the Democratic Com
mon Council. After that he held a
levee at the Carrollton House. In
the evening a torch light procession
and a serenade in his honor was had

The bands played Dixie and a
banner was carried bearing portrait
of "Stonewall' jackson, with his
name under the picture. Cheers
were given for JEFF Davis and aStone-

wigwam, in Gay street, not far from
where Greeley was standing. the
sidewalks around the wigwam being
crowded with people, some one cried
out: "Three cheers for Grantw In

by the men in the procession upon

O'Conor on Greelev.

Charles O'Conor isn't for Greeley
much! AS the following extract
from letter written by him, Septem-
Der SOth, to James Lyons, of Rich.
mond, Virginia, President of the
Louisville Convention, may attest
He says:
aIf the Southern people did not know before
said anything on the subject, that one of the
candidates is a man Of transcendant ability.
they are singularly slow of apprehension. The
desolation of which they complain is attribut-
able to him. The long and disastrous wal
that filed his "bloody chasm" with fraticidal
slaughter, involved the whole country in debt
and demoralization is due to the uneoualIed
energy combined with the folly of this one ex-
ceedingly able, exceedingly amicable, exceed
ingly mischievous man regard the possibili-
ty of his election with inexpressible aversion.
If the ideas of the heather time prevailed. /
would cheerfully surrender my person as a
sacrifice on the alter of that deity whose con-
troll Of events might thus be propitiated. and
induced to save my country from ruin"
This is straight out Democratic
doctrine of the highest order, and
will be accepted as the general feel
ing of the Democratic party after the
fifth of next month. Mr.. O'ConoTs
judgment of Greeley viii be the
verdict of history, after the passions
and personal interests of the cam
paign have subsided and disappear
ed, leaving room for a clear and un-
prejudiced estimate of the "ruin"
which his election would certainly
have brought upon the country.

The Grand Result.

The elections of last week have
demonstrated at least one thing, and
that is that however exalted a man
may have become, however the peo-
pie may have sought to honor him,
and however distinguished his ser
vices may have been while in the ad
vocacy of certain principles which
the people have recognized as foun.
ded upon right and justice, however
powerful he may have been as a
leader while thus engaged, the mo-
mont he rebels against those prin-
ciples or attributes to himself alone
the power which he has apparently
WELD over the masses, that moment
he falls from his high estate and be,
comes only a man among men
stripped of the high character he
had hitherto borne, and disrobed OF
the elements of popularity he had
possessed. The people remain firm
in their convictions of right, and dis
charge theii duty without reference
to the position Of those men pre-
Yiously regarded as leaders. The
recent event is most memorable in
this way, and its results will inspire
the people with a firmer reliance
than ever upon themselves, and
more completely dispel the illuslO
of great men than any event
which had before transpired.
Ohio remains firm in her allegi-
ance to principle, Notwithstanding
the defections IN its midst, and de-
monstrates it by a majority of
$4,000.
Pennsylvania notwithstanding the
efforts of Forney, who had come to
regard himself as the disposer of
Repubicanism in that State, and
the detection, of Andrew G.. Curtin,
once her most favored son, has sig
nifed her appreciation of their ef-
forts by giving a majority Of $4,000
against them. Both these men had
professed friendship for Grant, but
were doing their utmost to defeat
Hartranft for Governor, but the
people could not be led to desert
principle and follow them. Hence
their decision.
In Indiana the same result was
achieved, except upon Governor.
The personal popularity of Hen
bricks carried him through by ma
jority of about 700, against nearly
5000 in 1870, while the balance of
the State ticket was elected, and the
Republican Congressman at large
chosen by a fair majority. The
Legislature is decidedly Republican,
which secures the return Of Senator
Morton, and as the main effort of
theDemocracy was to defeatMorton,
the result throughout can only be
regarded as decided Republican
triumph.
This grand result has sounded
the death knell of the Lib-Demo-
cratic organization. The campaign
from now until November 9th, will
be the like a continual funeral, and
they will be glad when the clods of
the valley have settled upon their
''cold corpuses," and they can be left |
to that profound repose which knows

The election of Chas. Foster to
Congress from this district, may be
regarded by some as matter easily
accomplished; because his majority
has reached veryrespectable figure,
but such is not the case. 1t was one
of the most closely contested cleo
tions which has taken place in any
of the Congressional districts of the
State, and5when the character of his
opponent is considered, his prodigal
waste of money, his colonizations
and frauds, the election of Mr.. Fos-
ter becomes a brilliant achievement
which might have turned into a dis
astrous defeat had it not been for
the energy and tact displayed by his
friends in the different counties.
There is no doubt Sloane regard
ed his election as a forgone conclu-
sion, not only on the strength ofthe
provisions he had made, but from
the representation of his workers in
in the different counties. This coun
ty was represented as sure for him
by SOO-possibly 900, and Hancock
and Seneca by proportionally large
majorities. Resting upon the
strength of these representations be
he felt secure, or the majority in
Sandusky city might have been
worked up still farther. The poll
of about 600 more votes in that city
than was ever before given at an
election, shows how it might have
been done, and how Tammany tao
tics were called into requisition to
accomplish the result reached.
The poll in Norwalk, where 173
more votes we're polled than ever be-
fore, although the Republicans did
not have their vote out by 27, and
the fact that over 80 strangers swore
in their votes, as railroad hands,
when old citizens could not recog-
nize, exhibits the strategy resorted
to by Sloane to compass his elec-
ton.
In Seneca and Hancock, along the
line of "my road" men were engaged
to work, who, when they enquired
what they should do, were told they
might "stone the pe-wees off the'tele-
graph wires" so as to kill time and
be on hand to vote.
These all go to show the despe-
rate character of the opposition, and
the completeness of our victory.
1t tshows as we said before that but
for the energy, actively and tact OF
Fosters friends, the result might
have proven disastrous.
To the grand result the Repub
licans of Sandusky county contri-
buted as much as the heroes Of
grand old Huron, and we are proud
of them.
Fighting against a heavy majority
they made head against it and re-
duced the 75O majority of Dickin-
son to 432 for Sloane. 1t shows
what they are capable of, and that
with self-confdence, and relying up
on the strength of upright prime iples
they can redeem the county if they
will.
Try it Republicans in November,
and let us roll up majority for our
gallant leader.

HEADQUARTERS, VETERANS NATIONAL }
COMMITTEE, FIFTH Av. HOTEL,
NEW YORK CITY, SEPT. 25, 1872.
To the Soldiers and Sailors who served IN the
Union Army and Navy during the late War.
CoMRADEs:-We, your representatives, met
at Pittsburg and adopted series of resolutions
which you have already seen. You have dis
covered that we expressed sentiments which
are almost unanimously entertained by the
veterans of the country. In view OF the TACT
that Mr.. Greeley has charged US with the de-
sire to engender feelings OF hate toward the
survivors of those who were in armed rebellion
against the government, we desire to relterate
our wish that all differences may be obllterated
with this single condition, that under no
circumstances Will we support man for Chief
Magistrate of the nation who, in the hour OF
the country's greatest danger, did not appre-
ciate the situation, and, by words and acts,
step forward to its defence.
awe deny that one single word, either in
the speeches or the platform OF that Convent
ion, justifies Mr., Greeley i'll the remarks
which he made at Pittsburg; and his entire
lack Of courtesy toward the soldiers and sailors
who assembled there, serves to confirm US in
the opinion that he is quite unfit to be trusted
in any position where loyalty to his govern
ment, a lust regard for the feelings of others,
and an aOnegaLOn OF sen Is TequlIeu- w {
believe that he will live long enough to regret
the slanderous utterances he made on that oc-
casion."
"It only remains for us to impress upon you
the great importance of the issues which are
presented TO you, and to urge that you will
organize throughout the entire country in har.
mony with the regular Republican organiza-
tions, and do all in your power to re-elect Gen.
eral Grant chief executive of the government
for four years more, and thereby complete the
great work you began in 1851"
