THE R1DI0IL P1RTY.

In all the recordso of history there is no
circumstance to be found that will in
after years be regarded with such Won
der, as the fact that for fifteen years, the
Radical party has held control Of the
Government of the United States.
In all the records of the dynasties,
which at different eras have ruled af-
fairs in the various civilized nations of
the world, no such revelations of utter
corruption can be found, as those of
which the Republican party has been
guilty during its dominance in this gov
eminent.
In all the acts Of tyrants and conque-
rors to those who have been conquered,
none can be found so fully illustrating
and enforcing the adage, "vae yiCtis," as
the conduct of the Republican majority
in the United States Congress to the
Democratic minority; a line of conduct,
without precedent as it is without decen-
cy, necessity, or any other redeeming
trait. .a-
During the existence of a state Of war,
it was not wonderful that a desire TO pre-
serve the government should win the
support of the people to any party hay
ing that prime object IN view, but that
that power should be perpetuated in the
radical party, after the danger is past, is
one of those anomalies in national poll
tics that history will strive in vain to
explain.
But there is cause to feel a thankful
ness to the Supreme Ruler Of the nations
that this madness seems to be passing
away. That there is an awakening
among the people, a desire for honest
government again, and State after State
is showing by its vote that a change is
taking place.
1t is timel Unless Il great and thor
ough change Is made, and a return is had
soon to,the principles on which the gov
eminent is founded, those principles
which animated Washington, Jefferson,
Jacksonville work of d%isintegratiOn will
90 on, until, more surely than the rebel.
lion eould(have done it, the nation will
be destroyed; a ten times worse fate than
the destruction of the Union, for if the
Southern States had seeded, it would
have bound the remaining Northern and
Western States in closer bonds of unity
The grand need of the country now is
purity of government. Nothing short Of
an entire change can give that purity
Let Democrats everywhere remember
that on them devOlves the duty of saving
the nation from a worse fate than dis.
union, v from destruction, and sc
conduct their campaigns as to drive
from power the present disgraceful anC
corrupt dominant party. 5Dff

EXPORTS or AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTS.

The returns of our exports of agricul-
tufal products for the six months of
1874 ending 30th of June, contain some
instructive and interesting facts. They
show that we sent to England, of wheat,
29,27S322 bushels against 5,772,902 in the
same period of 1873, and 4,027,22 2 in
1872
English statistics for the same period
show that, though the English wheat
crop was not more than half an average,
the total importation Of wheat into that
country was less than in 1873. While
the different countries of Europe sent to
England, in some cases, as much as 80
per cent. less than usual, our exports
there, as above, were nearly quadrupled-
OF wheat flour in the six months, we
exported 2,225, III barrels against 626,43l
in 1873 and 429,365 in 1872. OF rye, the
amount was trebled, reaching 476,130
bushels. OF oats and peas, Ave times the
amount of the former years was ex-
ported, the former reaching 60,638 and
the latter 253,4S8 bushels. Corn does
not show the same increase, the amounts
being 0,317,114 bushels against G,24l ,0S2
III 1910 anu IOYJSDgoof III loI . y" II .|I
In pork products, an enormous de-
crease. of exports, as compared with last
year, took place, though the amount is
greater than that of the year before.
The figures were, in round numbers,
15O,OOO,0OO pounds against 227,00O,0OO in
1873. In lard, the decrease is Obserya-
BILE as compared with both years. We
sent 84,000,000 pounds this year against
l04OO0,0O0 in 1873 and 92,000,OO0 in
1872. Our exports of rice show that the
growing of that grain for expectation is
becoming important, the amount for the
six months of 1879 having been 1896
barrels, in 1873, 1880 barrels and 49,
27S in 1872.
Cotton shows-a decrease, us also do
hay. hops and oil. Tobacco and tallow
show am increase. Cheese maintains the
high figures of 1773, slightly exceeding
28.OBddW pounds, Which Is neafly double
the miohnt Of 1872. / TheexpoItof but.
ter slightly exceeded that of last year
being f,6H,075 pounds.

SFNlTOR MORToNS SPEECH.


Senator Morton of Indiana, delivered
or rather is supposed to have delivered,
a lengthy speech at Terre Haute last even
ing, an advance copy of which has been
sent us. W. have neither time nor in
clination to give it the attention at this
writing that it deserves, but will take
early opportunity to do 80. We may say
however that a hasty glance rel the
seven columns of fine type eonyinces US
that it is a bold, bare-faced, lying attempt
to shield the Credit Mobilier Salary Grab
party, and as full of scheming, decep-
tive matter as the Senator's rotten car
cass is OF baduess and corruption
He starts ont BY statihgthatthe Demo-
rats were struggling to regain power, and
that on the question of tariff all Demo-
Gratis do not agree /; that in various States
they adopted opposite resolutions, the
speaker of course e~oneealing the fact that
his own party Is far from harmonious on
that question He then touched up the
Temperance questimr-says the Demo-
cratic party IS for a license law, whilst
| the Republicans of his State are in favor
that the power to decide this question
shall belong to the people of the State in
their sovereign legislative capacity-oth-
erwise local option.
The panic he contends was produced
by the failure of a great banking house
and that the administration is not re-
sponsible for the hard times. He takes
exception to Grants veto of the first in
hation bill, and claims that the bill that
was passed, was not expansion by new
currency, although he admits it put in
circulation SOME forty millions. What
difference that makes, whether it is new
or old currency he did not attempt to eX-
| plain.I i.1lIHf. HH iHHu s-liIII tt
One thing he says we believe in, and
that is for years to come, the contest will
be between the Democratic and Republic
can parties, and that betweenth them there
is no room for a third party. p'a-
He gives much credit to his party for
exposing the Credit Mobilier, Sanborn
and District of Columbia transactions,
and is smart enongh to know that Grant
and his party cb4hOt be defended before
the people for their connection with these
d%isreputable TRANSACTIONS d .II1
We strained our eyes endeayoring to
find something about the salary grab, but
can find no allusion whatever to it.
He frvors negro rights fort colored,
and for the whites he contends that the
bill does not "attempt to take control OF
all the schools, colleges, churches, hotels,
railroads, steamboats,, theaters and grave
yardsp on the part of the government OF
the United States, but leaves that control
precisely where it is now. We now
breathe easier. -PNsburgh Post.
As remarked above other portions OF
this remarkable speech, which it is sup
posed viii be accepted as the keynote Of
the Radicals for the campaign, will soQn
receive our attention. One proposition
the Senatoradyoclt es in regardtO the peO-
pie choosing their President and Vice
President, by popular vote Is sensible and
ought to be adopted, but we fear 1t never
will be, if good men do not come forward
and take it ont of the hands of such scoun-
drelly statesmen as Morton &Co0A

.N INNOCENT NAN LYNCHED
AND LEFT FOR DEAD.

The New Albany" Ledger-Standard'
relates 4 villainous piece of business in
Brown county, Indiana, While at Sey-
on Wednesday last, we learned
from Mr.. Eugene Culley, of Nashville,
shat one of the most daring and yet
cruel and cowardly attempts at lynching
that ever occurred in that part of the
State, happened in Brown county, near
Nashville, on last Monday night. A
quiet and inofensiye man, by the name
Of Pedro, was taken from his house
without a moments warning, and beaten
with clubs and sticks until life was al
most extinct, and in fact was left by the
cOwardly rullians as dead. The regula-
tors were masked, and appeared at the
| residence of Mr.. Pedro at, the dead of
night; and when he asked what he had
done to be taken from his family at that
time and punished, was answered that
he had cruelty abused and maltreated
his wife. The wife at nice denied the
charge, and stated that they had always
lived in the utmost harmony, and that

and a special term of the court will be
held if necessary. Judge Hester will do
all in his power to see that the laws are
vindicated.
