cal prospects here are bright for Hayes
." and Wheeler. The Republican party is
better organized than ever before. Tne
spirit of 1861 is alive. We shall GER
taiDIy elect thrte out of four Congress
"meD, with good c1ancc for the fourth,
"while the State is good for six thous lnd
"on the Presidential ticket As goes Cali
" fornia so goes Nevada, and our friends
are also hopeful in Oregon. l do not
think Tilden will have an electoral vote
from the Pacific States, and have good
reasons for my belief" TIlden's Credit
Mobilier invention will kill him in Calitor-
mia and Oregon without other aid. The
fact that he was the counsel for OLkes
Ames, who advised him that his contracts
under the Credit Mobilier Company were
correct and legal, and by means OF which
Pacific coast stockholders were made 20 pay
two prices for all the work done on the
road, will never be forgotten or forgiven
by those people who are now taxed double
fares to make up the sum thus stolen. The
whole Pacific coast, in common with the
entire Northwest, are indebted to Mr.. Til
den for the present high rates of fares and
freight-tolls He is the father Of that rail-
way policy which gave birth to the Granger
movement The whole Granger vote will
be cast against Tilden this fall, as it ought
to be.

A Very Valuable Book.

The Illustrated History of the Centennial Exhi-
bition, with a full description Of the Great
Buildings and all the objects of interest on eS-
hibitiOn in them. By James ID. McCabe, author
of "The Centennial History Of the United
States" etc. Embellished with over two hun,
dred fine engrayings Of buildings and scenes in
the Great Exhibition.
There is a universal demand for a work which
shall embody q complete and carefully written &C
count of the great Centennial Exhibition, sketch
ing its wonderful and varied features, and pre-
senting to the reader not dry list Of articles ex
hibited, but brilliant snd graphic description
of the most magnificent display Of the results Of
human skill and industry ever gathered together.
Such a want the National Publishing Company
have supplied in this superb volume. 1t is from
the pen of James D. McCabe, a wellknown
author.
The book is a complete and vivid description of
the great Exhibition. The author has written
from his own personal knowledge, having gone
through every part of the great Worlds Fair,
notebook in hand, recording the vast and varied
information contained in this work. He has re-
ceiyed the constant and sympathetic assistance
Of the Centennial authorities, and has enjoyed
peculiar advantages in its preparation. The
author 70 kes US through the Exhibition grounds
and makes US familiar with every object of inter-
est in them. We are tnen taken into the Main
Building, and are carried successfully through IL,
and through every building, large and small, in
the grounds We are told the story of the con-
structiCn and arrangements of each of these edi-
fees and the rare. beautiful and wonderful col
lectiODs which they contain are graphically de-
scribed.
The book is invaluable to those who cOntem-
plate visiting the Exhibition. There is not a
guide book in print which gives one tenth of the
information contained in this work. To those who
have visited the Exhibition IL will be pleasing
souvenir of their visit, and will enable them to
recall the magnificent scenes they have witnessed.
To these who cannot make the journey the book
is necessity, for 1t will enable them to enioy the
delights of thorough acquaintance with the
great Worlds Fair in the quietude Of their own
homes.
The work is comprised in one large and hand
some octave volume OF cS2 pages, and is superbly
illustrated. The price is low. and within the
reach Of all. The book is sold by subscription
only, and Mr.. Henry A. Mallory, who is the au-
tbOrzed agent for this section, is now canyassing
for it.

1875, indulging in the most extravagaut
praises of the Governor and hts ally,
Treasurer Cardczo. An interest in a
bond syndicate in New York was what did
the work. 1t appears that Dawson has
again changed his tactics. He now Bit
terly denounces Chamberlain and the entire
Republican party, and openly advocates
the murder and intimidation of Republican
voters; in other words, he is for Hampton
and reform" His editorials in the NeDs
and Courier are of the most incendiary de-
scription, and he openly advises that all
the leading Republicans be arrested on
trumped.up charges and forced to leave
the State. eff they cannot be gotten rid
of in that way" be adds, "let the foreign
adventures bite the dust at the hands of
"brave Southrons. This creature. is
frebrand in South Carolina politics, and
unless arrested and lodged in jail he will,
in less than a fortnight incite civil war in
that State. There are many frauds in
South Carolina; but as journalistic bum

evinces by his deprayity to what depth of

the answer the free-traders, like Mr.. Goodwin,
have made to the ship builders whenever
they have asked for protection and bounty
to encourage ship-building. And the Demo:
cratic party has always said " Amen |"
Taxed out of existence - Mr.. Goodwin
knew when he uttered it that this was
most unmitigated faisehood. He must
have known 1t. And he must have known,
also, that his audience of merchants knew
that it was false. 1t is most humiliating
spectacle TO see man, who but recently
was a highly respected journalist demesn
and degrade himself into retailer of politi-
cal falsehoods from the stump. We know
of no way in which Mr.. Goodwin could have
reached lower depth of political infamY
than he did when he stopped to the attempt
to belittle Generals Grant and Hayes as ig-
noramuses and nobodies, and to praise
Samuel ]. Tilden, the ex rebel, the railway
wrecker, and the issuer Of illegal shin
plasters, as the new political Messiah to
whom the country must look for salvation.

WIG KILLED COCK ROBIN!


1t appears that Mr.. Vance, of Ohio, the
model investigator, has been defeated in his
efforts for reelection to Congress. His re-
mains after the storm were found on the
sandy shore of disappointment, and have
been gathered into the political morgue.
The question now is, who and what beat
him2 The Baltimore Gazette, which was
Vance's outlet for dirty water during the
lsst session of Congress, seems to act as
chief mourner upon this occasion, and in
IFS grief exclaims: The Democrats lose
several Congressmen, among whom Is
"Mr. Vance, who directed the investiga-
ton into the Government printing office,
"and whom Clspp, the Congressional
"printer, vowed he would defeat If money
would do it."
The same paper announces that 1t has
dispatch from Colonel Vance, under date of
October II, which states that he has been
defeated by 500 majority, and that Clapp's
money was too much for him. This is
pretty bad for Vance and his sordid ad
mirers, but very good for the country. His
power for mischief is limited now, and his
usefulness hereafter is 10 be turned by the
peoples will into channels less dangerous
and expensive 10 the public veal. But,
poor, fated man, he should die more grace
fully and not fill the land with his doleful
bowling.
Varce was elected two years ago from
Republican district through mistake, and
his defeat, after his exhibition of his own
abilities and insincerity in Congress, was
foregone conclusion. 1t did not require
snybody's money outside his district to &C
ccmplish that end. The truth is, the opin-
ions of his constituents were too much for
him. He has been hit by the lightning Of
cor populi, which is sure death. His fate
should be warning to all unprncipled de-
famers of public men.

a SOUTH CAROLINA CARPET-BAG JOUR
NkLIST.

AAAOLs
There is pestifcrUus Democratic carpet
bagger at Charleston, S. c., of the name
of F. W. Dawson. lie is a jaunty, easy
going fellow, and has editorial control of
penny paper called the NeUS and Courier.
Dawson made his appearance at Charles
ton in 1867, whittier he was sent by Ben
Wood, of New York, to write up several
swindling lottery schemes, in which that
individual was interested. Dawson served
his master so faithfully in that capacity
that he was at once placed in control of the
paper, then called the Charleston NeUs,
which, while protesting 10 be Democratic
became the special organ Of the Moses
family snd the defender of the fiaaucial
administration of Treasurer Niles G.
Parker. During this period, between 1869
and 1873, there was no scheme OF plunder
too villainous for Dawson 10 advocate and
defend and in which 10 demand and re-
ceiye his share Of the spoils. For one
little service, as Associated Press agent,
when he sent dispatch bOstering up the
gold-bOnd bill, he was Paid $50 900. At

officials with which he paid for the con-
struction of the present NeO8 and Courier
building. W. J. Fhipper, in speech de-
livered before tie joint convention Of the
Houses of the South Carolina Legislature
last winter. branded Dawson as a CO ward
and a knave, and recited how, on several
occasions, his pen had been controlled by
the use of money. When Chamberlain
was nominated for Governor In 1874 he re-
fused to pay Dawson his price, and the re-
suit was that the NstOs and Courier de-
pounced him in the bitterest terms through
out the canvass. The election of Cham
berlain made it necessary for Dawson to
change his tactics or forever after be
haired out from the State Treasury.
This was easy for the blatherskite, and
we find his paper as early as January
