We publish letter elsewhere from
Rev. 7. E. Corkhill of this city in
vindication of the Rev Joseph Brooks
of Arkansas. The occasion for this
defence was a paragraph in Wedncs-
days COURIER in which we character
lied the Rev. gentleman in question as
an sEx Iowan and an cx-Methodist
] preacher" We didn't intend at the
time to intimate that these were either
of them particularly hcinous offences
and we conclude that even our friend
Corkhill's correspondence will estab-
lish the truthfulness of both assertions.
We have known Rev. Brooks
personally and militarily perhaps
as long and as well as onr correspon-
dent, and have no disposition TO assail
him for the good deeds done in the
past. In the language of Carl Schurz,
we don't care to jump into yesterday
for merits to cover the dcmcrits of to-
day. We were writing more partic-

Now that the Chicago Tribune has
gone over to tho Democrats it has
fallen to abusing the majorities in the
late investigating committees. If the
majority reports had found from the
evidence that the accused officials had
been guilty instead of innocent, then
the Tribune would have been satisfied.
And this is the organ of fair play and
reform.

Complaint Is made by democrats and
Liberals that republicans should now
keep before the people the deeds or
loyalty, heroism and patriotism Of the
republican party and its army Of blue
coats. Democrats snecringly write the
party down as the loil party. Liberals
would have the people let by-gones be
by-gones, and make no reference to the
character Of citizens for the last ten
years. This is all vain talk. Such =
course is impossible. Four years more
and q century will have passed since
our Fathers cnunciated bill Of rights
for all men, that was the first full and
perfect one, ever declared by any peo-
pie. We still celebrate II, we revere Il,

be impossible for al time to rcprcss the
natural outpourings Of the human
heart in praise of that noble sentence
declaring the inalicnable rights ofman,
and to forget the authors and support
ers Of that Declaration. On the Fourth
of July, 1876, the centennial celebration
Of our National Independence Is to be
held in the hall where IL had its birth,
and ppans of praise will be sung in
honor Of the men Of the old revolution.

conduct ofa large portion of the de-
mocracy is just such as carries out the
sentiment they have announced as
above stated. If then il is commenda-
bic to remember and honor the deeds
OF the men Of the old revolution, how
shall we decline to commemorate and

of the second revolution! How can

It IL simply superlatively ridiculous to

to ask that it shall not be urged that

The great strikes continue with every

The Democrats of Pennsylvania have
nominated Charles r. Buckalow for
Governor over Gen. Geo. w. Cass, his
principal competitor.
Mr.. Buckalcw Is a handsome, modest,
gentlemanly, mild hammered man, of
quite respectable ability and very
moderate in his political opinions He
served six years in the United States
Senate, being succeeded by Scott, one
Of the present incumbcnts.
He is the author of the idea of ac-
cumulative voting in this country, and
was elected to the last Senate of his
State from Republican district with
out opposition on account Of his per-
sonal popularity, and for the purpose
of giving him an opportunity to
champion his pet measure in the legis-
lature. He is nevertheless a well pro-
nounced Democrat, and most generally
voted in the United States Senate dur
ing the war, on the side of the fire in
the rear men, of whom Horace Greeley
is TO day the Apostle. He is intensely
hostile to the endorsement of Greeley
at Baltimore to which opinion he is
doubtless indebted for his nomination.
He will make as strong an opponent
for Gen. lartranft as the Democrats
could have nominated.

The Committee Of Arrangements
yesterday received letters from Sem
ator Schurz, Cassius NJ. Clay, and SEN
ator Trumbull, stating they could not
be present at the Greeley ratification
Monday night.
A special dispatch from London
says thas on Thursday the Alabama
negotiations were ended, all efforts to
secure an agreement of the govern
ments on supplementary article def
Mitcly relinquished. Yesterday nego-
tiations were opened on the part of the
British government which gives color
to the supposition that it has recon.
sidered its determination not to accept
the senate's amendments to the sup
Elementary article. The point of pres
ent difIiculy is the absence from the
article Of any words which can be held
as defining indirect claims the failure
to declare what class of claims are
designated by the term indirect, 1t is
thought would be likely to lead TO the
Introduction under the title of direct
claims of claims which England would
deem inadmissible.
