A Lost Opportunity.

Gov. Tilden had magnificent opportunity.
He stood too long at the brink of it, and at
last let it go by 1t was known that his friends
in convention had opposed that clause of the
platform which demands the repeal of the Re-
sumption act. Some of them, as Mr.. Dor
sheimer stated, in debate, signed formal pro-
tests against it. 1t was reported that the per-
the passage of bill of that nature by the
House. That there was bitter contest in the
House between that wing of the party which
approved Mr.. Tilden's hard-money record and
that wing which accepts Mr.. Hendricks as its
representative was well known. Nor had Mr..
Hendricks hesitated to declare his opinions
Without waiting for the response of Gov. Til
den, not only in his reply to a serenade at In
dianapolis shortly after the nomination, but
in the letter recently published, Gov. Hen
bricks had placed his own Interpretation upon
the st. Louis platform. Gov. Tilden should
have felt that he could not accept that inter
probation, even by silence His past record
was honorable. Men had called him the Jack
son of later times, and had expected from him
something of that sturdy, unyielding fidelity
to convictions which made ''Old Hickory" in
spite of all his faults, the master of his party
and his time Had Gov. Tilden been the
master of this time, and of the Democracy of
to-day, his letter would have been somewhat
different in its treatment of the most impor-
tant question under discussion.
Let us suppose for moment that Gov. Til
den had said to his party bluntly: ''With
you hold the act of 1875 insufficient. But
it was formal pledge of the public faith.
Democracy does not repudiate Our duty is
not to do worse, but to do better than our op-
ponents shall approve the repeal of the
Resumption act only when accompanied with
Legislation which, in my judgment, will bring
resumption more surely and more quickly.
Think what light would have shone in thou
sands of faces on Saturday The nation
would have found man, and true man is
always a master. 1t would have found a
worthy match for Gov. Hayes. For that was

precisely his reply, when challenged by oppo-
nents in his party and State
But unfortunately Gov. Tilden did not
show himself to be that sort of man, and his
party certainly is not that sort of party. There
was his fatal weakness; he is not master OF
Democracy, but its servant. The Democratic
party intends to repudiate this pledge of the
public faith. Its purpose was so clear and
strong, even before the convention, that many
friends of Gov. T.lden yielded. Yet some
hoped that in him the old Jarksonian spirit
would appear. They have been disappointed.
Through his whole letter they search in vain
for one word to prove that the man actually
and unmistakably rises above the party.
The fault is not so much that of Gov. Til
den, it is true. His party does not tolerate
independence Submission is its first law.
The most powerful impulse of the party to-
day is to make war upon the public credit by
repeating the Resumption act, ard there was
no master to quell that storm. The cunning
devices of the magician at Albany were felt at
Washington for time, but the rising tide of
party feeling submerged all barriers. Through
committee chosen in the belief that it would
resist infationists and repudiators to the end,
that spirit of the party has forced its way at
last, and Gov. Tilden bows assent the next
morning. With cautious phrases the Cover
nor who signed the New York Resumption
act of 1875 speaks before the Democratic party
of 1876. The party has not found a master
but servant Its real representative is Gov.
Hendricks. Its most available candidate was
Gov. Tilden.-1N. Y. Tribune

APRoPos of the current silver discus
sion, here are some interesting facts
pertaining to the early coinage of the
country: OF the gold coinage OF 1904,
about s11 900 was the produce of vir-
gin gold from Cabarras county, n. c.,
and, from that time to 1897, all the
gold in this country was obtained from
that State, amounting to $4,000. The
gold mines in Rowan county were, at
one time, "the richest in the Atlantic
States" and yielded about 100000 an
nually. A bar of silver from one of the
mines in Davidson county, n. c., in
the New York exhibition in 1854, is
said to have been the first smelted from
the ores in the United States. "The
copious yield of gold" by the mines of
the Southern States induced Congress,
in 1898, to establish three mints, one at
Charlotte, N. c., one at Dahlonega,
Ga., and one at New Orleans, the first
two to be for coin only. The dies for
the first coinage of money in this coun-
try were made by Massachusetts, me-
chanic in 1862, and the money was
coined by John Hull, on whose estate
the "Mint Hawse" stood, and Robert
Sanderson, of Boston.

TILDEN has at length filed his an.
swer in the United States District
Court of NY. city to the sworn accusa.
tion that he stole $2s4,00O from the
st. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Rail
way. The facts are briefly these: In
1862, when all good men were doing
what they could to save the Union
from destruction, Tilden was going
through the West seeking what rail-
roads he might devour. He was en-
ployed by the Alton road to reorganize
it, and received $50, 900 for his services.
This did not satisfy his greed. With
four Others he became a member of the
Purchasing Committee, and secured
control of the road, closing against in
spection the list of voting bondholders,

him from Office. Subsequently it was
discovered that S2S4, 600 of the bonds
were sfioat, over and above the amount
authorized. AS the bonds were nego.

was filed on Monday, comprises 496
legal folios, filling 194 octave pages OF
printed matter, and deals verbosely in
glittering generalities, and legal de-

Another Horse Epidemic.

The Boston Post, August 2, says
A disease not unlike diphtheria, is quite
prevalent among the horses in this
vicinity. The disease first attacks the
throat, causing Inflammation of the
larynx and prevents the animal from
swallowing, thereby causing death
from starvation. A post-naortem ex-
animation of an animal that died from
this disease reveals large effusions of
lymph in the air passages, particularly
surrounding the larynx. The symptom
of this disease is the running of frOthy
mucus form the nostrils, and drooling
from the mouth, general debility, re-
sulting from non nutrition. The vet
Urinary surgeons say that the only rem.
edy for the disease is the operation of
the Gsophagotomy, or making an in
cisiOn in the 9sophagus and inserting
a tube through which the food would
pass into the stomach. Some practi-
tioners say tube can be passed into
the nostrils to connect with the stom-
ach, but 1t is difficult operation, and
is not attended with success two times
out of ten. AS remedy chlorate of
POTASH in solution, to drink, is consid-
cred the best in the first stages; blisters
are then applied as counter-irritants;
and then when symptoms of paralysis
appear small doses of strychnia are
given.

IT would be no easy matter to tell what the
policy of the Democratic party is in regard to
the financial question. On Saturday, imme-
diately after the appearance of Tilden's and
Hendricks letters of acceptance, the Demo-
cratic House repealed, by vote vote of one
hundred and three to eighty-six, the act OF
last year which declared specie payment shall
be resumed in January, 1879. The action
was taken in obedience to the imperative be-
hest of Governor Hendricks, who declared it
was necessary to carry the Indiana State tick
ct and the Indianapolis district. Governor
Tilden is known to be in favor of resumption,
but in his letter of acceptance he asserts that
the fixing date when resumption shall COM
mence is "a delusion and snare" "It can
not be doubted" he says, ''that the substitu-
ton of system of preparation without the
promise of day would be the gain of the
substance of resumption in exchange for its
shadow" In this declaration he fatty contra
diets what he has already stated over his Off
cial signature. The New York Legislatures,
during the session of 1875, enacted law de-
claring that on and after January l, 1879, all
taxes levied and confirmed in that State
''shall be collected in gold. United States
gold certificate, or national bank notes, which
are redeemable in gold on demand"
The act provides further that "Every con-
tract or obligation made or implied, and pay
able within this State, and made or implied
after January 1, 1879, and payable in dollars,
but not in specified dollars, shall be payable in
United States coin of the standard weight and
fneness established by the laws of the United
States at the time the contract or obligation
shall have been made or implied The act
which provides for the resumption of specie
payment in New York State was approved by
Governor Tilden March "a, 1875, yet he says
in his letter of acceptance that the fixing of
day by the National Legislature for the re-
sumption of specie payment by the general
government is ''delusion and a snare" Ac-
cording to the Governor, it is all very well to
fix q day fer State to do certain thing, but
it is all wrong to specify time at which the
nation shall commence to do the same thing.
supplemental letter explaining the difference.
He is better logician than to hold that the
greater is contained in the less. If il is advi-
sable for a State to resume without inaugu-
rating system of preparation, it is certainly
advisable for the nation to do the same. If
the one can fix date without detriment to its
interests, the other can do so, too. Evidently,
our Democratic friends are at sea on the finan-
cial question.

TILDEN, in his letter of acceptance,
quotes approvingly the sentiment that
public offices are public trust" How
well he fulfilled the "public trust" con-
fided to him as ''reform" member q
the New York Legislature in 1872 may
be judged from the fact that there were
1,56S roll-calls in the Assembly, and
that he was present only 107 times.
He was recorded absent ,461 times.
Yet he drew bis fnll pay for the session
and thus robbed the people. He also
failed to vote on the reform charter of
the Committee of Seventy, on the Sup
ply, Canal and appropriation bills.
These bills involved millions of money,
yet Tilden, though drawing pay as q
member of the Assembly, was absent
from all votes upon them. He is the
great American reform shirk.-Pitts.

Population in 1860, 81 100000; ex-
penses per capita, $261 under Buchan-
an. Population in 1875, $4,000, 900; ex-
penses per capita under Grant, S2.O5.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Tilden's re-
proaches all come home to him and his
party. The war made by him and his
partisans has caused this great outlay
and this alleged extravaganza. When
these and other new sources of expense
are deducted, it is patent that the Re-
publican party has administered the
Government at Sc cents per capita less
in 1875 than Buchanan did in 1860. So
much for Tilden's brag.

The Mississippi Report.

Mr. Boutwelrs report on the investigation
into Mississippi affairs is quite lengthy, but
the points are represented with much clear
ness. The evidence is summed up under
eighteen heads, of which the following are the
last two:
s'Your committee find that the resignation
of Governor Ames was effected by body of
men calling themselves the Legislature OF the
State of Mississippi, by measures unauthor-
lied by law, and that he is the rightful Gove-
nor of that State The evidence shows that
the State of Mississippi is at present under the
control of political organizations composed
largely of armed men, whose common pur-
pose is to deprive the negroes of the free ex-
ercise of the right of suffrage, and to establish
and maintain the supremacy of the white
line Democracy in violation alike of the Con-
stitution of their own State and of the Consti-
tuition of the United States
Finally, the committee say, the measures
necessary and possible in an exigency are
three: First-Laws may be passed by Con-
gress for the protection Of the rights of citi-
zens in the respective States. Second-States
in anarchy, or wherein affairs are controlled
by bodies of armed men, should be denied
representation in Congress. Third-The Con-
stitutional guarantee of republican form of
government to every State will require the
United States, if these disorders increase or
even continue, and all milder MEASURES shall
prove Intellectual, to remand the State to a
territorial condition, and through system of
public education and kindred means of i'm
provement change the ideas of the inhabitants
and reconstruct the Government upon a re-
pub can basis.

The Ninety.Eighth Ohio.

! The time for the second reunion of
the 9Sth o. V. l., is drawing nigh. AT
the reunion held at Cadiz three years
ago it was resolved that the second one
should be held at Mi1go, on September
Sth, 1876. Yesterday evening Captain
Barney Lindsey, of this city, received
letter from Col. John s. Pearce, re-
questing early action in the matter;
therefore a meeting of the survivors of
this regiment in this city will be held
at the Mayors Office on next Thursday
evening. The survivors of this city
and vicinity, were appointed a COM
mittee of arrangements. 1t is desired
that as many as can will turn out.
This regiment was organized at Camp
Mingo, near this city, on the Odd of
August, 1862. 1t was made up of mon
from this and adjoining counties. 1t
left this camp on the 23d- for Coving-
ton, KY. Here it received arms and
remained until the 29th. Immediately
after this the regiment went into active
service. On the Sth of September it
took prominent part in the bloody
contest at Perryville, the anniversary
of which the time set fer the reunion.
1t was at this battle that the regiment
lost its brave Col. Webster, with two
hundred officers and men killed and
wounded. Here Major Jonn S. Pearce,
now a prominent attorney of tadiz,
was taken prisoner. Lieutenant VIM.
McMillen and Rourk were killed
Capt. John A. Norris, now OF CO]um-
bus, lost limb, and Second Lieuten-
ant Fribley was wounded. The 9Sth
saw a great deal of hard service. 1t
was actively engaged from the time it
left Lexington, KY, on the eth of
August, 1862, until il was discharged.
1t was with Sherman in the Atlanta
campaign. 1t participated in the en-
gagements of Buzzard's Roost, Resaca,
Rome, Dallas and Kenesaw Mountain.
1t was at Kenesaw Mountain that Ma
jor J. M. Shane was killed. 1t was at
Peachtree creek and Jonesboro. 1t was
with Sherman's army in its march to
the sea. 1t was at the battle of Ben
tonville, N. c. In this fight Col. John
S. Pearce was wounded in the shoul
der. The 9Sth saw great deal of hard
fighting and rough camp life and weary
marches. The reunion will be inter-
esting and enjoyed by all participants.
The object is to camp out for a. few
days, hear speeches, have a complete
history of the regiment read, and in
fact general good time.-Steubenville
