EILDEN, THE "REFoRMER,' AT WORK.
There is no doubt now that Tiden is pink of
political purity, and Il lawgiyer in ''Reform. "
The indianapolis correspondent of the Cincln-

Tildcn is to contribute 100000 out Of his prl-
vate purse, and the party is to raise s., 500, 600
more to be used in the October election in In
DIANA Iidcn will send out seven or eight
experienced hands from Tammany to distrib-
lie the funds properly. The first reform is to
buy up the IIoosier State.

WATCH FOR THE CLAws.-Therc is some
thing singular about Mr.. Southall giving an
account of his stewardship at st. Louis 1t
is unprecedented. The ticket is before the
people, and as there is no open hostility, on
the part of the Democracy of this district,
what's the use of bothcrng about it, 1t is a
bitter pill, it is true, and will become more
nauseating the longer it. lies on the Democrat
ic stomach. But where's the necessity for
any talk about it? There's a cat in that meal
tub. Watch orhis claws, or Harris eyes might

Home Reformers.

The Virginia Democracy join heartily in the
chorus OF "Reform.'' 1t looks well for them
to do So, especially when it is remembered
that their authorized representatives, in viola
ton of the Constitution and laws, have taken
from the poor children Of the State four hun
dred thousand dollars, set apart for their edit
cation, and illegally appropriated it to the pay
ment Of the bondholders' interest. Not only
this, but they have bur(lencd the poor
man and the laboring man with the road-tay,
or the necessity of making the roads and to
the relief OF property and the rich man.
Would it not be well for these earnest ere
formers" to turn their attention to home mat
ters Tor while, and explain to the honest Ia
borers OF the State how it is that While they
rob the poor children Of the means OF educa-
ton, they increase the annuity to The Univer-
sity OF Va, and the Military Institute, where
there is no possibility Of Il poor mans child
ever getting the benefit Of it. Here are home re-
forms that require attention Let these gush-
ing patriots give them a thought instead OF de-
Tending Tammany thieves and swndlcrs.

Brief. But Pointed.

The Democratic press have been very indus
trious in drawing conclusions from the refusal
of ex-Secretary Bristow to divulgc Cabinet
secrets to the Democratic Committees of Con-
gress which have been sitting as an inqusiton
during the present session. Ofcourse, all were
preiudicial to the President and numerous I'M
friendly snrmiscs have been made relative
thereto. President Giant has met the case
precisely and thrown a bomD-shell in the scan.
da box of the opposition. Read the following
letter addressed to Mr.. Bristow, and then de-
termne whether there are any secrets, affect
ing the public service or connected with the
present Administration, which the President
has sought to keep from the public, or wheth.
er there has been anything else than high
sense of honor and right which has governed,
in refusing to answer the impertinent and dis
gushing conduct of the committee men.

With these declarations rs the basis, polt-
ical millennium will have been inaugurated,
and the scheming plotters of strife and sect ion

This would bring abont the recognition of
such men from the South in the administration

and national fealty, and enable the country to
bound forward in political power in the next
four years with unsurpassed success and great
ness.
What have such gentlemen, with their early
political education and convictions. in common
with the political tom-tits and contemplate
schemers who are directing the interests of
Tilden in the country, and especially in Viz

conclude that nothing wise or good could DOS

supreme seiishness, and reckless OF the prog

Hayes and Wheeler are as certain to he the
next President and Vice President OF the Uni
ted States as the 18th day of Nov. arrives. They
will be elected by an overwhelming majority
in the electoral college, without the adoption
of the suggestion we have made. But it would
be a master stroke OF policy in the inter
est Of Virginia and the South-a genuine span
ming OF the bloody chasm by the clasp of fra
OF friendship and confidence between the sec
lions that would bring healing upon its wings to
the whole country, and constitute one of the
brightest pages in the records of the centennial
year of orr national existence.
