THE "Nation," of Sept. 2lst, says /:
"When we remember how W the inherent
difficulties of the Southern situation
have been aggravated by rascally Of
ficials, under the form of Republican
Administration at Washington when
we remember the Freedmen's Savings
Bank and its Republican trustees
when we look at Casey, Packard,
Spencer and their compeers; when, in
word, it is considered that the Re-
puhlicans have controlled the general
government since the close of the war,
and that it is under their own admin
istratiOn that the South has come to
its present condition, the effrontery
with which the party leaders, confess
ing no errors and Offering no new
ideas, demand a new lease of power
simply on the ground that they alone
are fit to take care of the South, is
simply amazing"
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1876-10-12

The New York Herald says: "If
the Northern people once get it into
their heads that the Mortons, Logans,
Sargents, Spencers, Keilogxs, Pack
ards and Chamberlsins are to control
the Republican party, they will give
so sweeping majority for the Demo-
Gratis As will leave the Republicans in
q hopeless minority for a quarter of a
century" And whe doubts that the
corrupt crowd which has SO lsng beld
supreme sway 10 to continue in con-
troll, if the Radical party 10 enabled to
perpetuste its ruler What corrupt
and plundering act of theirs has ever
received condemnation at the hands of
the Radical Congress or the Execu-
tive? 1t 10 to cover mp the rascalities
of these men that the stumpers aud
newspapers Of that party have inaug-
urated campaign of personal detrac-
tion and abuse, and are waving aloft
the bloody shirt, in order to cover up
their raecalities.

Adams Again.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams has writ
ten another letter, but not to John Kel-
ly. 1t was sent to friend in Balti-
more, and the following extract from
it is published in the Gazette:
g L think it is high time to Introduce
something better in our politics than
old issues and greed of the loaves aud
fishes. If do not mistake, the coun-
try is gasping for q brighter future, and
for letting alone the record Of the past.
To me personally it is of ofcomparatively
small consequence, rs have pretty
nearly reached the end, but for those
who come after me the result still in
terests me. 1 regard this election as
the turning point. The names of the
parties signify nothing-the action OF
the individuals everything. I believe
Mr.. Tilden to be both capable and
honest, as well as self-reliant. L know
nothing of Mr.. Hayes beyond his good
private character. His letter did not
increase my confidence in his indepen-
dence or his Judgment"
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1876-10-12

THE great effort Of the Radical
stumpers and papers is to prove that
the rebellion is still rampant in the
South-that though the rebels laid
down their arms over eleven years
ago, and the Southern States have been
reconstructed according to the ap-
proved Radical model, yet, that the
sca,' has been q failure. that it has
failed to preserve the Union with ali
the rights, d gnity and equality Of the
several StaIes unimpaired." If in
eleven years that party with the full
control of every department of the
Government has been unable to restore
peace and prosperity is it not about
time for them to step down and out,
and let others try their hands at the
work.

The warm republican friends of Mr..
Tilden have been very solicitous about
the charges of bribery aud fraud
which the New York Times editors
were sure they had found against him
and the partisan organs have been
elamorous to elicit an answer to them.
Well, the explanation at length came
"a full and satisfactory answer to
every charge-aHd yet these clamor.
Gus gentlemen of the quill have de-
elined to publish only garbled extracts
from it F; but give space to the reitera-
ted slanders of the Times, on the prin.
ciple, we suppose, that a lie well stuck
to is as effectual as the truth. Oh, fie |!
gentlemen don't let the doctrine Of
hate overcome all fairness You can {
afford to be less magnanimous than
your Democratic contemporaries. They
publish the refutation of the charges
against Mr.. Hayes.

On Tuesday of last week William
Henry Harrison, grandson of the for
mer president of the United States,
entered tine residence of John
Ii. Moore, Boone county, Kentucky,
and made a proposal Of marriage
to Miss Mary Moore, the eldest
daughter, and upon being rejected
stabbed her nine time. in the breast,
and face. 1t is thought she cannot re-
cover. Harrison, who is about 40
years of age, has lost his wife about a
year ago, and Of late had been visiting
Miss Moore frequently. but had re-
ceived no encouragement on account
OF his dissipated habits.

A Condensed History.

On July 4th, the conference Of the
Grand Council of the United States Of
the Order Of the American Alliance
met at Philadelphia, and nominated
for President, Rutherford B. Hayes, ,ei
Ohio, and for Vice-President, William
A.. Wheeler, of New York.
On July 9th, Gov. Hayes received q
Committee of the Order q the Con.
tinental Hotel, thanked them for the
nomination, and accepted it.
On July 9th, in Columbus, Ohio, q
subcommittee, of which William T.
Black, of Pennsylvanis, was chairman,
waited upon Gov. Hayes, and present
ed him with the full Constitution OF
the Order and the Oath, and informed
him of bis election As an honorary
member. The committee also handed
him the resolutions of nomination.
y On july 10Th. Alfred E. Lee, Secre-
tary to Gov. Hayes, wrote to l.. s.
Tyler, Box 2O7l, New York, Secretary
of the Order, thanking the Alliance,
and promising material aid. au5
!. Or, Sept. 18th. A. E. Zee, Secretary,
wrote to Colonel d. Narkbreit: n
""It is not true that General Hayes
has given any assurance Of sympathy
with or Endorsement of declarations
against the naturalization of foreign
crs, or the privileges of foreign born
citizens. t,.,..t,f- ~-.i5... e,El
,""The story that Governor Hayes
ever indorsed such sentiments by let.
ter, or otherwise, is utterly false"
The Constitution Of the Order pro.
vides '.that the object for which this
order is organized 10 an amendment of
the Naturalization Laws, limiting the
suffrage to persons born in this coun-
try, or of American parents. The
election of American born persons on

The Oath of the Order is: 81 SOL
emnly swear that l will not vote for
any persons for any official position

Governor Hayes was in possession
of the Constitution and the Oath. He
accepted the nomination with full
knowledge of their provisions.

that Hayes had ever indorsed such
