THE ACCEPTANCE BUSINESS.


The editor of the PhiPa Times is ev-
identity kind o. mad at the Presidential
nominees. In his issue of the 11th
inst, he breaks out in this McClure-ish
style: "It's Governor Tildens turn
now. Governor Hayes took a month
TO fashion letter OF acceptance, and
did himself all the harm he could by
attempting to prove himself more dis
corning and more patriotic than his
party. 1t is the common fault of lit
tic men, and he couldn't help doing it,
with q swarm of conflicting political
advisers buzzing him at every turn.
Governor Tilden has now been two
weeks before the country as q Presi-
dental candidate, and II he requires
more time TO prepare letter of ac-
ceptance, IL must mean either that he
is, like Hayes, incompetent to the
task, or that, like Hayes again, he
wants to study out the most plausible
political deceit to play upon the ere
dulity of the country. The truth is
that all efforts OF Presidential candi-
dates to rise. above the body that ere
ated them, is but the arrogance Of stu
pidity, and the sooner Tilden delivers
straightforward acceptance, as tree
from platitudes and fire. works as posi-
bic, the better will be his chance of
election. Hayes has played the fool
enough for dozen Presidential can.
didates, and Tilden has a rare oppor.
tunity TO write such letter as will
carry honesty of purpose upon its face.
Let him send il along at once, for any
thing that he is in doubt about saying
will be decidedly best unsaid. The
American people are not a lot of sim.
pletons,'to be gulled by Presidential
candidates elaborately thanking Heav.

A PROPER STEP.


We notice that joint resolution has

ing the appointment of commissioners

beneficial treaty Of commerce with
Brazil can be arranged This is one Of
the most prosperous countries on the
Atlantic side of South America, and It'd
trade should be turned in this direction
by wise and liberal provisions. At the
present time our total exports TO Brazil
are less than one-fiith of our imports,
To make up this deficiency it is stated
we have TO send abroad thirty.five
million dollars worth of cotton and
grain, which reaches Brazil in the form
of European fabrics. OF course all the
labor bestowed upon these fabrics is
lost to the United States. Sending raw
material four thousand miles one way
and six thousand another in order 10

shape TO pay our debts is not such q
practice as should be tolerated In any
mercantile or commercial country
What we need is direct trade from
Brazil upon such q basis as viii intro.

and other articles into that nation al
first hands, and thus increase our OK.
ports. At the present time we have q
line Of steamers running from New
York to ports in Brazil, and one from
Baltimore to the same places; and even
these scantyarnngcments are hamper
ed by trade restrictions which take
from their usefulness as means Of in
creasing the trade between the two
nations. A commission can be appoint
ed to examine into this whole matter
and then Congress can act understand
ingly. Trade and commerce are moi
so brisk at this time that the United
States can refuse to consider any pro
position that looks to increasing theil

ATHOME AGAIN.

Tho cheerful face of ox-Gov. Bigler
is again seen on our streets, To the de-
light of his ncighbors and friends. He
returned from his Centennial labors q
few days since, evidently having stood
the heated season remarkably well,
IIo reports the Centennial exhibition as
an unparalleled display Of works of art
and manufactures 10 described by men
of the largest intelligence on the sub
iect, from all parts of the world. Hc
also says that all differences between
the United States Centennial Commits
sion, and the Centennial Board Of FL
nance have been amlcably adjusted,
and with the final settlement of the
question of Sunday opening, the last
peril to its honor and dignity has been
passed; that from beginning to end
ing, the work has been conducted with
sole desire to accomplish the pur-
pose set forth in the laws Of Congress
on the subject, and that rigid economy
and purity has prevailed in the expcn-
diture of the funds devoted to the pur.
pose.
We record these facts with great
satisfaction, not only because our neigh
Dor and friend-Gov. Bigler-with all
his associates, has passed through a
most trying ordeal unharmed in repu-
tation, but because in times like these,
the faithful discharge Of public trust
is something to be rcjoiced about. The
Governor compliments Mr., Welch, the
President OF the the Board of Finance,
very highly as a gentleman of fine
abilities, and Of entire purity Of life
and character
Since the Governor left the United
States Senate, he has given much OF
his time to the building of the railroad
to this place, and towards the erection
of one of the finest church edifices in
the interior of the State. Next he
served us most faithfully in the Con.
stitutional Convention, and for nearly
two and half years he has been en-
gagged in the Centennial work. He
was the financial agent of the Manag.
ers, and while he took some part in
the general work, his speciality, how
ever, was to raise the necessary funds
and We know that when the appropri-
alton of q million and half of dollars
was granted by Congress, the Gov
ornor regarded his work as finished.
What he may be called upon to do
next we cannot say, but we are sure
Of this: that if Gov. Tilden should
need an advisor from Pennsylvania,
after his election as President, he can
not find better man within the linn
its of the State than ex-Gov. Bigler
We told our readers, on the first OF
May last, that Governor Tilden would
be nominated at st. Louis, and we
now inform them that he will be
elected in November, which event will
bring about an entire change of public
and private affairs in this country.
