PUL iIICAL.

Uncle William Allen is disguised with politics
He has nothing to say about the St. Louis ticket
will not support it, will not oppose it, but propos
es to return to his old, secluded peaceful life.
Mark A. Donnell, Rep, of the First Minnesota
District and John l.. Vance, Dem, of the Elev.
enth Ohio District, have been nominated for re.
election to Congress.
The North Carolina Republican State ticket is
pronounced tie best ever put forward in that
State by the republicans. Judge Settle the head
Of the ticket, is no "carpet-begger," but belongs
to one Of the pioneer Carolina families. He was
President of the National Republican Convention
in 1872 and is now on the Supreme Bench Of the
State.
1t is noticeable that most of the republicans who
supported Greeley in 1872, are declaring for
Hayes and Wheeler. The chief exceptions are
those few liberals who have gone entirely over to
the democratic camp. The New York World, the
leading democratic paper, admits this, and dole
fnlly says "As for the liberal republican he will
probably 60 from among us because he is not OF
us, and in nine cases out of ten the sooner he
goes and the further from us the better" Con-
sdering that the only hope of Tildens success
lies in the support of the independents, the World
practically admits defeat at the start.-LeNiston

Democratic Distrust.

The grand rallying of the republican
party displeases the democrats But they
have themselves to thank for it. One VIM
ter's trial of democracy has been enough.
Those who were most dissatisfied with the
conduct of some republican leaders feel
as keenly as the most thorough partisans
that it would be not only a positive evil
but decidedly dangerous to intrust unre-
strained power TO the democratic party.
Hence it is that Liberals. Independents.
and anti-Grant republicans gather TO the
support Of Hayes and Wheeler quite as
earnestly as those members of the party
who claim the best record for "regulari-
ty., The Union League CLUB and the
Republican Reform Clsb.4ayor the nomi-
nations with fully as much sincerity, we
venture to say. as the most active Custom

A Victim of Southern PrOScrip-
ton.

The death of Helen f. Willis, at Indian
apolis, recently, sister OF Senator Twichell.
of Louisiana, has been mentioned in the
papers. Her husband and one brother
were killed by the White Leaguers her
other brother, Senator Twichell, survives
their luminosity, mere wreck. with both
arms gone and otherwise injured; and her
own death was fastened by the scenes Of
terror she had passed though. The cir
cumstances attending her death were such
that the minister who conducted the fun
eral services, Rev. Dr. Bayliss, plainly
imputed her death to the terrible proscrip-
ton which she aud her family had suffered
for their political opinions. and boldly de-
clares not as partizan but as man,
against the attempt. to elevate into power
the political principles with which the as
sassins are identified. The following ex-
tracts are from his discourse.
"And so the weary wheel at last stood still.
Her husband, her brother and her sisters and their
husbands all sleep in Southern graves, and every
male relative was murdered. In her last nome rts
her only surviving brother was unable to do any
thing for her except TO walk. No wonder she died
without dread. She was too weary of human
cruelty and wrong to desire TO remain longer here.
She sent word to her mother. now in New Eng
land, that she had no fear of dying; she gave her
last requests to her friends and then departed. let
US trust to where the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary at rest.
We are sometimes accused of Haunting the
bloody shirt for political effect; Of revving mem
cries which ought to sleep in forgetfulness; of
dragging before the startled and unwilling eyes of
this age the ghastly skeletons of horror which,
but for our persistence, would have been forgotten
before now. But this to-day is no mere memory.
This is no buried horror just now newly exposed
for tragic effect. This woman, whose weary body
we to-day carry to a new-made grave, is almost as
much the victim of Southern cruelty as though
some assassn's bullet had pierced her heart. They
have killed her. They have loaded her with hor
rors until her fra body could endure it no longer.
indianapolis is called to day to the task of bury
ing one OF the victims Of Southern hate, and the
victim is a woman. And what Of her only sur
viving male relslivel Is this some ancient terror
His wounds are not yet healed; they almost
fresh enough to be CHASTITY. Scarcely three
months ago he was as well as any OF us, and he is
SO helpless now that he cannot wipe away his own
tears
And this is America, the land of the free and the
home of the brave; the land whose historic boast
has been its Southern chivalry; the land where
men can think what they please and speak what
they think the land where more has been said
about feedom and the rights OF man than has

Republican L nifty.

1t is now apparent that all classes and
shades of republicans, with few indlvid-
ual exceptions, will be unit in favor OF the
election of Hayes and Wheeler. The re-
publicans who supported Horace Greeley
in 1872 are disguised with their democrat
ic allies. They have witnessed enough to
convince them that the democratic party
is not one to which the government can
safely be trusted at this time. They have
seen its promises in regard to the money
question broken, its indecent reputation
in practice of pledges in relation to civil
service reform, its abiec; submission to
the leaders and ideas of the secession
movement. in fine its abandonment of
whatever there was in the Greedy move
ment to attach republicans to it, and so
they leave il to connect themselves anew
with the republican party and do good
service for the election of Hayes and
Wheeler.
In general the return of the Greeley re-
publicans has been an unorganized move
ment. 1t has been entirely spontaneous.
There seems to have been an opinion taken
possession Of the liberal republicans. with
out consultation or organization among
themselves, that the democratic party after
the exhibition given of itself in the present
session of Congress, aud demonstrations
in the country at large of the spirit that
animates it, is no place for any person
who was a republican up to 1872. In
some instances, as in New York, the lib
erals have formally renowned their ALI
ance with the democrats'and arrayed them
selves under the banner of Hayes and
Wheeler. but the great body of them have
not waited for formal proceedings, but by
tens, hundreds, and thousands have come
into the republican camp and taken their
places as before they abandoned it.
We are then warranted in saying
that the republican party goes into this
campaign as unit. That fraction Of it
which broke away with Greeley has been
OF will be practically entirely restored A
few individuals will remain with the dem
ocratic party, but the great bulk of Gree
ley republicans will support Hayes and
Wheeler. This means, then, sweeping,
cushing, overwhelming defeat for the
Tildentes. In 1872 the democratic party
was united and the republican party was
divided, but the republicans elected their
ticket against all opposition. This year
the republicans are united. The demo-
Gratis have lost the Greeley men and the
republicans have gained them. The result |
is as plain as that of any question in
mathematics. Tilden and Hendricks may
plot aud plan but their election is an inn
possibility. II the republican party d.
vided was able to elect Grant in 1872 the
republican party reunited and moving
with one purpose and soul can and will do
better in 1876. Mr.. Tildens reform ban
ner has been waving in the breeze the last
year as prominently as now, but instead
oil attracting any more republicans to the
democratic side it has driven away those
who were already there. The friend
and partner of William NJ. Tweed is not
the man to denounce others for corruption
and present himself as the immaculate
champion of pure and honest government.

Hon. William NJ. Tweed.
Hon, w, M. Tweed:
Debate in the House on the Ham
burg Massacre.

Especial to the Boston Daily Advertiser
WASHINGTON, July l6-Just before the House
adjourned on Saturday there was q scene of I'M
usual interest. The bill for the protection of the
Texas border was under consideration, and the de-
bate had led to the matter Of removing troops in
o.her portions of the South to Texas. Mr.. Smalls
Of South Carolina, colored member, got the floor
and moved an amendment that no troops shall be
drawn from South Carolina so long as the militia
of the State properly assembled assaulted, dis
armed, and taken prisoners and then massacred in
cold blood. Mr.. Smals sent up to the clerk S desk
and had read graphic description of the Ham
burg massacre, which acted like fire. brand
Schleicher of Texas, who had charge of the bill
saw at once that this political question would seri
ousy impair the chances Of its passage, and he
begged earnestly to have the amendment with
drawn. After bulent squabble, Mr.. Rainey,
another colored member, got the floor, and deliv-
cred one Of the NEST brilliant extemporaneous
speeches heard this session. 1t an appeal for
his race, brief, unimpassoned and eloquent and
although he spoke but five minutes, the effect was
such that the democrats hurried adjournment
to prevent further scene. MIR. Smalrs amend
ment is still pending, and unless the democrats
sort to the gag rule, and cut off further debate,
there will be some spirited speeches when the bill
comes up again. Gen. Garfield, Martin |. }.
Townsend and other republicans propose to speak
in regard TO the Hamburg massacre, and it is al
together probable that the country will hear of an
exciting debate similar to the one early in the
session on the amnesty question. Senator Morton
proposes to have the Hamburg massacre nvest-
gated, and will introduce resolution to that eff
feet in the Senate to morrow, and advoCa it with
an extended speech.

Tildcn and Tweed.

There are great many honest demo-
Gratis in New England, says the Boston
journal, who imagine that the reported
intimacy of Governor Tilden with Tweed
is campaign lie. Governor Tiiden was
an adviser of Twceds when he secured the
passage of the charter which enabled him
to rob the city of New York. Governor
Tllden did not part company with Tweed
till some time after the discovery of
Tweed's rascalities. His personal rela-
tons with Tweed are shown by the follow
ing correspondence, which Governor Til
den admitted in court of justice, no later
than last February, was in his handwrit-
ing This is the great reformer who is

flying the politics of the country:
