"there is no safer or better way of

q RBBUKE" PALLLA TED.

We publish elsewhere a very well
written communication from our es-
teemed friend and occasional CORES
pondent, Maj. W. w. Langhorne. Of
Cooke county. While we entertain
very high regard for his opinions,
we cannot see the subject he treats
Of precisely as he does. Like him,
we have always been Democrat.
We were once a States rights, hard
money Democrat. We are not now,
in the old sense, a States rights
Democrat, for the simple reason that
the causes which made that q ques-
tion in the national politics have
mainly passed away, and can never
return. There is now no institution
or interest peculiar to one State or
set of States. So that legislation by
Congress, which will affect the poo
pie Of one State, will, in like man
ner, affect the interests Of all the
others. 1t would, therefore, be I'M
wise in any set of party leaders to
attempt to build up a party on that
once vital. but now dead issue.
~ We arc not a Democrat because
we believe the party to be immacu-
late and free from corruption. For
while the human family contains men
who are dishonest, these men
will sometimes find their way to
place and power, let what party be
in the ascendency that may We
believe it is true that, in a Republi-
can Government, no party can re-
main long in power without running
into a great many extravagances,
and being chargeable with great
deal of corruption. We believe the
Republican party is now in this con-
dition-not because Republicans are
less honest, as whole, than Demo
crats-but because, having been so
long IN power, the worst elements of
the party have worked their way to
the leadership, and into position.
This state of affairs is an incubus on
the party and upon the country,
which will never be shaken of, but
by the defeat OF that party. This is
one reason why we are a Democrat,
but not the chief reason.
The great issue upon which party
lines are. and are to be drawn. grows
out of the financial policy of the |
country. The Republican party has
fastened upon the country green.
backs as the currency of the country,
and have so legislated as TO drive !
gold and silver out of circulation.
This was a terrible blunder-terrible |
in its effects upon The prosperity of
the country. But it has been done,
and there is no help for It. The Re-
publican leaders saw. this, and at
tempted to remedy the evil by re-
turn to a specie basis. And thus.
at a time. as we believe, most unEor- |
tunate for that party. as well as for
the country, the Republican party |
stole the livery Of the old ante belluaa
Democracy, and became the hard
money party of the country; and |
there they stand to day.
If we should go back to "old land |
mar ks on that question, why, We
would be as good a Republican as
the best. But even this would not |
deter as from this course if we be-
lieved 1t right. and for the best in
terests OF the country. But, in our
opinion. the remedy attempted to be
applied by the Republican party was,

Letter from Wendell Phillips.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 25.-The Indinapolis
Sun of tomorrow will contain the following
letter from Wendell Phillips to James Buchan-
an of this city:
Boston, June 10, 1S75.-Dear Sir: The first
clause of the Cleveland platform, adopted last
night, has my cordial approval. No words can
fully describe the Importance of the financial
plan it recommends am sure it will soon be
adopted by the nation, and that it will revolu-
tionize the relations of CAPITAL and labor. II
will put capital beyond ali danger of interfer.
ence with its rights, and will UNNECESSARILY
increase the comforts of the working men. No
single measure OF change will do as much as
this can for the business, virtue and progress of
the race, and In my judgement everything
tends towards such a system of finance and
herads its speedy adoption. No teachers are
SO sharp and successful as bankruptcy and the
sheriff. Even here in Boston, the very Gibral-
tar of bullonism, l can see signs that the ranks
are beginning to break, and some few repre-
sentative men are bending their thoughts and
steps to our side, but there is no use of my Civ
ing you this expression of my opinion have
publicly advocated third term for Grant un-
less some one can be found as sure as he is to
rally the North and as true as he has been to
claim from the South all the fruits of our VIC
tory He has not by any means done his duty.
When he claimed or consented to the rejection
of the school clause of the civil rights bill, he
made that indispensable measure almost use
less and blocked the hopes of the nation. Still
know no one more to be trusted than he who
has any chance to be elected, but your party
repudiates him because he is joined to bullion
lionists and stock mongers. lament this as
much as you can. Still, all history proves to-
day that this belongs to the great struggle for
equality before the Law. The South hates this
and means to defeat it. The North has hidden
this grand rule in its heart of hearts. This
provoked and justified the war; The battle
over, it is not ended. For this struggle the ma
ton is ripe; ripened by forty years of discus
sion and five of war. Much as value your
great financial measure, must in this next
Presidential canvass measure my candidate by
another standard-loyalty to universal liberty
Show me a man true to this, and also to finali-
cial reform, and with fair chance of success,
am.his earnest, devoted and single hearted
supporter, everywhere and at all times
Very respectfully,

Boston, June % The execution of James
Henry Costley took place in the yard of Ded-

at six minutes past ten. The scaffod was the

having permits were admitted. At 9 O'clock
Rev. VIM. ii. Brooks, Episcopalian, held a
private religious service with the doomed man
who at 8. 40 took his stand upon the drop. He
made no statement, merely shaking hands with
his executloners. Yesterday he was busiy en-
gagged IN writing statement which has not
yet been given to the public, and is thought to
be full confession. The history of his crime
is familiar. Costey, it was said in order to
become intimate with Julia Hawkes. killed
Mrs. Congdon, his housekeeper. and in order to
marry Miss Gushing killed Julia Hawkes.. For
this latter crime he has just paid the penalty.
Miss Gushing, whose love for him was more
like the manifestation of an insane passion
than an honest affection, has chung closely to
him through the whole of his confinement.
She once attempted to aid him thrilling him
self, and then contrived plan for his es-
cape, which, however, was frustrated His
BODY was given to her for burial,
1t is said that Notwithstanding Costley's
affirmation of innocence ON the scaffold, that
from his own lips has come story of crime
committed nnder circumstances of such atrocity
that words cannot be properly framed to de-
scribe it to decent people. Costley was not
only a murderer but was villain the records
OF whose deeds will go down to posterty on a
parallel with the greatest crimes Costley's
counsel after hearing the confession of his
guilt, are said to have made lefforts to induce a
shoemaker to make counterparts of the slipper
found on the foot of Julia Hawkes., with the
intention of doing away with the evidence that
the actual mate of the slipper was that found
in the buggy. 1t has not been decided whether
or no to prosecute Miss Cushman for her en-
was persistent and employed money, but her
efforts were of no avail. At the execution
this morning two men tainted away, and the
coolest of all present was the prisoner himself.
Three hundred persons witnessed the execu-
tlon. Tickets commanded a premium of $40.
