LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.

The letters of Governors Samuel J. Tildcu,
of New York, and T. A. Hendricks, of In
diana, accepting the democratic nominations
as candidates for the presidency and vices
presidency of the United States, have at
length made their appearance. The letter of
Gov Tilden, (says the Baltimore Sum- is a
document thoroughly Characteristic of the
man, and deals forcibIy with the leading
questions of the day. Nothing could be
more pOintedly set forth than the argument
he presents to show the necessity for reform
in the civil expenditures of the government,
and the Intimate relation of public economy
with national prosperity. For the last eleven
years, he urges, the government has been con-
Stunning a larger portion of the national earns
ing than the whole people can possibly save
even prosperous times, and he shows the
bearing OF the taxes to support this expensive
government upon every mans income, and
every business and industry. I'VE cannot"
he adds, ''attord the costly and ruinous policy
of the radical majority we cannot afford
their policy toward the South we cannot af>
ford the magnificent and oppressive centralism
AAhO AAS SONGl uWeuI Is Uel0S COQVerteC;
We cannot afford the present magnificent scale
of taxation" He gives also forcible express
sion to his views in regard to the finances,
and combats the idea that period of resump,
tion is necessarily attended with distress. To
make the coin in the treasury available, to
gradually strengthen and enlarge the reserve.
and to provide for such exceptional demands
for coin as may arise, he does not believe to
be a work of difficulty, and ought not to cost
any sacrifice to the business of the country.
1t would tend on the contrary, he thinks, to
the revival of hope and confidence. But so
far no step has been taken by the dominant
party to prepare the way to resumption. They
have made only a barren promise, and hence
the st. Louis convention demanded the repeal
OF . resumption act for which no provision
had been made. and denounced it as a politi>
cal trick, a delusion and a snare.
The letter of Governor Hendricks is no
less hrm and pointed in style, and its general
character may be estimated by the single
sentence 81 am gratifed, therefore, to be
able unequivocally to declare that 1 agree in
the principles, approve the policies and SYM
Pathlze with the purposes enunciated in that
platform"

COL. CHEW FOR THE HOUSE OF
DELEGATES,

The next Legislature will elect two U. s..
Senators. The present crisis requires strong
minded and able men in Congresswho will
study the causes of our present great distress
and unselfshly labor to devise q remedy. We
wantdoctors who will understand the disease of
the body polite and administer some medicine
that will restore this sick country to health
and happiness.
Certain rich politicians who depend on
their money and not on their brains, are seek
ing the Office of Senator by every species of
low cunning and trickery, hence we want
men in the Legislature who will have the
manhood and independence to refuse to sup
port any unfit and unworthy candidate.
An INSCRIPTIONS aspirant for the senate
will say to a member of the Legislature "if
you will vote for me, l will get you an Office
in Washington" Hence we want men who
can't be bribed in this or any other way.
Having an eye single to the protection of
the people against the Vaccinations of certain
corrupt politicians, I suggest that we nominate
Col. K. P. Chew, for the House of Delegates.
They can't bride, intimidate or deceive him,
but he will act according to his best Judgment
without regard to consequences. He is a man
of excellent sense and fine education he has
travelled extensively and comprehends the
tricks and subterfuges of designing politicians
and they will not be able to fool him out of
his vote; but above all, he appreciates the i'm
portance of e%iecting our very best men to the
u. s Senate.
The writer is Informed Col. Chew does not
desire this off ce and ne makes this nomination
without his consent, because no man has a
right 10 refuse to serve the people in the PRES
ent desperate crisis. This country will never
prosper until we get in the Senate men like
Webster, Clay, aud those other able, patriotic
statesmen who depended on education and
brains and not upon their money and ~trickery,
but at present a few cunning moncy>Jays ex-
clude from the public service all the best talent
and merit in this State. These hard times are
crushing US, and the people must rouse them
selves and make an effort to restore the ancient
standard by which to measure their public
servants. Certain of our present senators
stand beside the memory of Daniel Webster,
like Tom Thumb beside the Kentucky Giant.

Old John Robinson, the world>renowned
prince of ~shOwmen, Will, as will be seen by
advertisement, be in CharIestown on Saturday,
August 10Th. Read what the Cincinnati
Gazette says of him
This season Mr.. Robinson has gone fer
ahead of all prior efforts. He seems to use
his immense wealth with a liberal hand. and
to make his show fully worthy of the people
who have Endorsed it as the best show in the
world. He has reached a climax unprece-
dentcd IN the annals of the business. He has
added many thousand dollars worth of new
attractions during the past few months and
not only the public generally but the profess
sion also concedc the fact that this show ex>
GELS any thing of the kind on the continent.
The large collection of rare and valuable ami
mails is astonishing, and we doubt whether
any OF the famous geological gardens of Eu>
rope Contain better selected specimens. Mr..
Robinson has gathered together, from every
land, the most wonderful wild animals living
also, strange monsters from the sea, and Gu
rious birds of the air. Several shows adver
tise that they have girafcs, sea lions. and
many other novelties, and parade it before
the public as something unprecedented. This
show has them as minor specialties. Mr..
Robinson has a herd Of elephants on this con-
tinent.

CORRECTION.

At the suggestion of a number of prom
lnent Democrats, | am requested to write this
correction. It is talked on the streets of
Char!estown ''that the Grange is putting cans
didates in the field for the various Offices"
This impression is evidently manufactured
for the express purpose of combating it in
order that certain prominent Democrats whom
the country have named for several of the
Offices are also Changers. We who are Grsn>
gers know that this allegation Is not true, aud
cannot be true. The order of Patrons is en-
hrey foreign TO such a purpose, and docs not
permit nOmtTGtiOnS to be made, or the merits
of candidates Ia be discussed uithin its waUs.
So, it is an attempt by certain Democrats to
discriminate against Democrats who are
Grangers, saying to them you have no right
to be a candidate Tor office, in becoming a
granger you forfeited your standing as a Dem
ocrat. Come, fellow Democrats who assume
the offensive, let US understand you fairly
Do you really mean it, or is it a piece of ar
rant selfshness nearly. If the former, be
advised by one who knows, that there is no
quarrel between Democrats and Grangers.-
AS a Democrat please allow me to intreat you
not to sew thestOrmor you will reap the whirI-
wind.
Just as we'll charge a man who is a Meth>
odist, a Free Mason or a Son of Temperance
with being Ineligible to Office, because he is
such, as to charge a man with political oStrn-
cism because he joins the Grange for Agri-
cultural cooperation. Gentlemen, back to
your tents, the common enemy is already. rod
in hand, angling for Us. If they get us it
will be the fault of those who are tampering
with the cook whilst our common meal is
being prepared. Why not be like the Gran
gers, who are in politics partizans as iudi,
viduals, but as domestics, co-operationists.

THE wHIsKEY BUSINESS.
Col. Hatch and Disiriot Attorney Dyer SUM
minR mp the Mckee Case.

Sr. LOUIS, Jan. 28.-In the Mckee trial
this morning Col. " lllam II. Hatch, In present
ing the INST OF the closing argum ents for the
defence, devoted himself to an analysis OF the
Testimony for tho Government. asserting that
Mckee was tho victim OF conspiracy on tho
part of EnGelke, Fits Roy, Thorpe, and others
to drag him down and throw In the shade
the beinousness OF their own crimes.
Fitz Rows statement that he saw $3.50
paid TO Mckee was pronounced a base false
hood, and the unreasonablenees OF the oircum-
stance and the conversation pointed out from
the fact OF the characters Of the mon and their
previous non.Acquaintance. Engelke's inter-
view with Mckee at the Globe oifice was admit
ted as fact, but Engelkes version OF the SUB
ject matter was declared wholly false on the
testimony OF Dohle, Mcguire, and Hardaway,
whose st.tement went TO show that EnRelke
visited Mckee to secure his influence with the
Collector to release some liquors seized In Colo
RADIO. preventing an exposure of the Ring. Col,
Hatch also dwelt ut great longth on the confes.
SONS Of the Governments prlncipal witnesses
that they had been guilty Of stealing. OF perjury
and Of arson.
Dls riot ATTORNEY DYER followed with a general
roview OF tho testimony. lie said the Govern
ment was OBLIGED to Introduce confessed con-
epirators IN order tn unfold the gigantic swim
Gle upon the revenue, and he ol tined their tes-
against whom they .estincd. lie showed the
relations Of Mckee with Mcdonald and Joyce,
already convicted, and how essen,i'l II was 20
have him In the Ring, that be might, through his
great influence, protect them from tue powers
at Washington. Ho claimed that Megrues
testimony clearly established McRee's com
plicity with the Ring that 'Leavenworth's deo-
lsratiOn OF having pad him money were
proved that the discrepJncies between FItz
Hoy'e,Cuncannons, and EnRelke's evidence were
immateriil as thev had no real bearing on tho
case that Bohle's version OF the interview be-
tween Mckee aud Engelke had no strength, as
II did not hang together; that whether Engelke
sought his Influence to obtain the releasing OF
bis whskey seized in Colorado or not, there was
no doubt that ne saw Mckee about getting the
Busby 0Istiliery for Hardaway. This is support
ed In all material points oy other witnesses, ana
there Ia no question but that Hardaway was
soon after making crooked whiskey at this dis
tillefy without paying q cent to the Ring.
Counsel analyzed all the testimony y, and Insist
cd that the prosecution had cieaIly proved tho
existence Of conspiracy, and McKeos conneo-
ton with it.
