Information has been received in
Washington, from Pennsylvania, to
the effect that the Democrats there are
thoroughly aroused by the recent cleo.
tions in the West, and are confidently
expecting to carry the State. The
Granger vote will go solid for the De.
mocrats. In Philadelphia. under the
auspices Of tho Hon. Sam. Randall,
the Democrats are hard at work, hav-
ing the false registration of their oppo.
nents corrected by the Courts. Great
numbers Of names have boon fraudu.
lently put on the lists by the Republi-
can managers of Philadelphia; but,
Notwithstanding their frauds, they are
now demoralized and alarmed.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., O,tober 81, 1874.
EDITOR OF THE PuGN1x: The people
in this State, as vol as in other North
ern States, are beginning at last to un-
derstand the sad state of affairs at
present existing in the Southern States,
ana. The truly touching appeals
which have at various times been
made to the present Government from
your State, although slighted in every
instance by the heads of this corrupt
Government. have not, I am glad to
say. been passed 80 lightly by the peo.
pie here. No, sir; it has buried deep
in their hearts, and will never give rest
to them, until the white people, bro
thor Americans of the Southern States,
are righted and acknowledged as free
people, with just rights to sustain and
be respected. The Noses rule in your
State has done moro to open the eyes
Of the Northern people than you can
possibly imagine. The present oam-
paign will prove to you the truth of
these words by on astonishing Demo
cratic victory far exceeding any other
on record. I have been in the West
and all through the Middle States dur
ing the last few months, and every
where I have found, not only at politi-
cal meetings, but in conversation with
leading men of good character and
standing, men of business. true kind
regard for the gloriou, South in it's
affections. I hope every true South
erner will not forget to vote at the
coming election and show their
strength and good will for good cause.
The C@serism rule will soon end, and
with it the misery OF the Southern
people. I remain yours, most respect
fully, an earnest sympathizer Of the
South. This represents the present
feeling OF New jersey people. 8. l..

A BIG OME.-The Washington City
Republican. President Grants own
peculiar organ, says:
''At the present time q vote for the
Democracy ie vote in favor of the
payment of the Confederate debt; of
the pensioning of Confederate soldiers;
OF compensation for the emancipated
slaves; OF the issuance of more ire
deemable paper money and of national
reputation.
We presume this assertion ia in
tended for "home consumption" in
the approaching Northern November
elections, and We take much consola-
tion in the assurance thus afforded
that the Radical party has nothing
better to base it's hopes of euocess
upon than snoh reckless and absurd
fabrioations. But did any one ever see
effrontery equal to that displayed in
this declaration Of the Presidents own
organP Payment of the Confederate

Great Tammany Hall Meeting.
Ats srsnt! !xati iiSati5n meeting held
ct Tsmmanys Hall oaTaesday evening,
resolutions were adopted approving of
the plasformAnd candidates nominated
by the Syracuse Democratic Conven-
ton. The enthusiasm of the meeting
was immense. It was addressed by
Gov. Parker. of New Jersey. Francis
Herman, and ex Gov. Seymour. Mont
gomery Blair and 8. S. Cox. The
feeling is confidently entertained that
the Democrats will carry the State by
$4,000 majority. In the resolutions.
the centralists, "who aave reconstruct
ed desolation and disorder upon the
ruins OF self.government in the South
ern States" come in for proper
share OF denunciation. This COM
plant constituted the principal part
OF Gov. Parker's address. He repre-
sented truly, that in a country Of vast
resources and fertility in the South
that is. there is an impoverished peo
Pile, not only broken in estate, but
almost broken in heart. He made o
strong point in showing that the pros
tration of the South and the poverty
of her people have deprived the North
of a vast market for their goods
and manufactures. He charged that
the Radical administration at Wash
ington, regardless Of the public
welfare. sustained and encouraged the
vagabond oarpet-baggers in robbing the
people of the South of their property
and liberties, in consideration that
they, in turn, would control the States
in the interest of the Radical party.
"Am I asked" he said, "what they
(the Democrats) propose to do when
they get in powerp My answer is, that
we propose to give self.government to
the people; we propose to withdraw
the army and iberate the white peo-
pie of the South from bondage.
which has we'll nigh ruined them.
We propose to lift up the
South from the depths of power
ty to a development of progress
she has never yet known. We pro-
pose to protect the colored man as
we'll as the white man in the enjoyment
of freedom, aud of all the rights he
has," We notice that the tone of all
the speakers was eminently kind and
oonoiliatory towards the Southern peo-
pie. We trust sincerely that the EN-
pire State and the Keystone State will
both join the great pcpulous Western
States Of Ohio and Indiana, in pro-
nounoing for the Democracy, and in
stern rebuke of the party which has
systematically, and by the most odious
means and agencies known to men,
domineered over and trampled upon
our PROSTATE Southern States. We
pray for deliverance from it's tyranny,
and shall watch the trembling of the
wires which will bring US reports OF
the elections with the deepest interest
and anxiety.

The validating Act.

Is was In March, 1872. that the Le-
Rislsture passed ''an Act relating to
the bonds OF the State Of South Caro-
Inns, commonly known as the vail,
dating Aot. It was meant to make
good certain transactions that were
known to be fraudulent. II was the
device OF the bond ring apd Financial
Board Of that day, to cover mp the
frauds of their administration of the
finances. Mr.. Oorbin. a State Senator
and United States District Attorney.
in speech, 10 Greenville, Soon after
the Legislature adjourned, character
lied the Act as ''a plea OF guilty, en-
.e.ea by On. F;nsaoial Board; it is
nothing more nor less than oonfes-
sion OF guilt" This view OF it has
been sustained by subsequent events
and by the course of public opinion,
which eliminated. last winter in the
passage of tho Act which threw over
board what had been so laboriously "va-
lidated" only twenty months before.
The administration of Gov. Moses and
some Of the loading Radical lights
claim merit for this .sootohing, We can
not say for killing, of the conversion
bonds, amounting to SIS. .965. 600. put
upon the market, as the Act says,
"wisbout any authority of law" In
the platform of the Republican party,
there is a plank (the 7th) which
pledges them to this settlement. But
win it stand? The publication O! the
correspondence between Gov. SCOTT,
Treasurer Parker, Judge Willard and
Attorney General Chamberlain, in re-
ference to the foroe of the validating
Act, has induced us to re-read the ACT
itself. Its text fully bears out what is
now confessed, that it was designed to
bolster fraud and give legal sanction
10 the dishonest 1Btion OF dishonest
public officials. In the preamble, it is
said, That whereas, bonds, or obliga-
tions Of this State, have been issued,
from time to time. to a large amount,
IN accordance, as was supposed by the
officers issuing the same, with autho-
rity. &c. Aud whereas, it was the true
intent and meaning of the several Acts
that such issues of bonds or OBJ
legations should be- made in the manner
in which the same haze been made
it ia enacted that the bonds. &c., were
duly aud lawfully issued in conformity
with theittua intent and meaning OF
the several Acts. In like manner, the
acts Of the efiders of the State in issu-
ing .the bonds and obligations were
ratified. confirmed aud established.
Fraud and rascality are written all
over this Act. We wish that We could
congratulate the people upon deliver
ance from the vile purposes for which
il was enacted. But Notwithstanding
the ao-oalled settlement. and its ac-
ceptance for electioneering purposes
Of the Radicals. the qualities which
were equal to legislative feat of this
kind are not dead amongst us. We
have the strongest moral conviction
that we shall have these bonds to face
yet again. The influences are at work,
the men are active who will bring
them back to vex ue.
