TESTIMONY From THE ENEMY.-The

prominent Democratic Statesman. The

that he had sold a Cadetship. The ed.

BEHOLD THE CONTRASTi

The New York Sun draws very
apt parallel between Blaine and Beech
er 1t says Brother Blaine's per
iormance in the House Of Representa-
tivcs on Monday afternoon strikingly
resembles that of Brother Beecher in
the Advisory Council OF last February.
The member from Augusta, like tho
Plymouth pastor, had written letters
eliminating himself, and like him, too,
he had sought to prevent their publ.
cation by means which only rendered
their contents more damaging. Both
the guilty men had thus themselves
furnished the evidence for their con-
viction. Finally, perceiving the mis-
take he had made, Beecher summoned
q gathering of his friends, and in their
presence challenged mon, angels, and
even God himself to prove him guilty.
In the same way, Blaine, repenting Of
his attempt TO suppress his letters,
packed the galleries of the House Of
Representatives with his partisans, and
proceeded in the most dramatic man
ner to defy the accumulated testimony
against him. Bcecher succeeded in
winning the temporary applause he
sought for, and so did Blaine; but as
tho sober reflection of the public con.
demns Beecher, so it condemns Blaine.
Moreover, just as Beecher turned upon
his accusers and charged them with
perjury and conspiracy, so does Blaine
charge the Democratic members of
the investigating committee with tam
pcring with witnesses and suppressing
testimony. 1t only remains now for
the Republican party to stick to Blaine
as Plymouth Church sticks to Beechcr,
and the parallel will be complete.

A WONDERFUL EFFoRT.-The editor
OF the Philadelphia Press has undertak.
en- the huge job to make his readers
believe that James G. Blaine, who
wants TO be President, is no less a per
sonage than was Henry Clay fifty-twc
years ago. Had the said Blaine moi
dealt in Credit Mobilier or Little Rock
stocks while Speaker, the analogy
would bccomplete. On the other hand
the great Kentackian failed to reach
the Presidency bccaGse of some Other
iobbery, and Blaine will initiate hin
Just that far.

An exchange says; "Ben Butler
writes to Speaker Kerr that there is
not decent man, woman or child in
the country that believes the charges
affecting his character, and advises
him not to worry over it, As Butler
seldom defends any one but a rogue
it looks little squally for Mr.. Kerr
We are well aware that the sale of Ca
detships and Credit Mobilier Jobs, was
just the games which such "Christiar
Statesmen" MS Colfax and Scofcld play
ed at while in Congress but Demo

Is looks to us as though the enemies
of liberty were determined to inaugu.
rate 80 religious war" so as to accom-.
plish their end. They failed to bring
about dissolution of the Union on 0
square issue Of Native Americanism in
ls54-5, and the Slavery question in
1901. The riding of these two hob
bies having proven unsuccessful, the
next attempt at disunion will be re-
ligious effort between Professionalism
and Catholicism, and the real leaders
in this war will deport themselves just
as their confederates did in the wal
for the abolition of slavery-all win be
conscientiously opposed to war, but
they will insist on having it prosecut
ed vigorously by substitutes. viii
knaves and demagogues be allowed to
jeopardize either the religion or liberty
of the people of this Union? Or, have
we became SO debauched that we have
lost all "yirtuo, Liberty and Indepen.

fate that has overtalxen nations which

SUspIcIoUs.-So many Radical States
men have fallen from grace within the
last few years, that every effort is now
made by these rogues and their friends
to draw prominent Democrats into the
same csss.pool, so as to make it even.
The last attempt is that of duplicating
Speaker Kerr in the sale of Cadetships
ten years ago. All right if Mr.. Kerr
participated in that Radical game, let
us know il. The Democratic party
cannot afford to defend rogues of that
kind If Kerr rcsortcd TO Radical
sport of that sort, let him be exposed
and expelled from his high seat. Rad
icals may pass their time away in de-
Tending the "crookod" ways of theiI

ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD FRoM.-
The acknowledged rascality and cor
ruption OF the Republican leaders has
at last penetrated the hard Uranium Of
old Parson Brownlow, and he cmphat-
ically says:
81 would rather vote for an honest Democrat
than dishonest Republican, and warn all 70
pudiatsrs who wish TO steal their way into Office
by appeal to party, that on this question In East
Tennessee we know no party but the party oil
honest men. No Republican thief shall crap
himself dozen our hroais In East Teunessee ,ciil
The eldmor Of national issues, 50 If there be any
Of that sort Of cattle looking for preierment, nd
monsh them that we win find them out in Eas
Tennessee, and treat them accordingly"
This is certainly strange language
and shows that Brownlow is about
taking "a new departure" for the i'm
provements of the morals and officia
integrity of his State. He has beer
one OF the Radical leaders in his State
ever since 1860. His conversion though
late, is better than never. The key
note next fall, on the Presidential issue
will be between honestmen and rogues
In 1860 it was peace and union on tn,
one hand, and war and disunion on th,
other. The result we all know. Read
er, how will you vote this fall? Fol
