its influence as the old doctrine of State
rights The boys of 1861 are the rank and
file of the "rifie clubs" the "ssbre clubs, I"
the "White Liners" and the "Sioux" and
'tassassins" of to-day-by all these names
are the bands of men whose business 1t is
to intimidate, assault and murder Repub-
licans in the South, self-styled. They are
more dangerous than their predecessors in
that they are more ignorant more passion
ate and more brutal. The leaders ofseces-
sion were generally men of some culture and
education. They were most of them versed
in public affairs. They professed to de-
fend their position by argument, even if
occasionally they did resort to violence
when argument failed. But the boys of
1861 in the South, who are the men of
1876, are as mass ignorant and unedu-
Gated. Their schools and colleges were
broken up by the war and the intellectual
requirements Of the white men of thirty
years of age to-day in the South bear no
comparison to what were possessed by
men of the same age there in 1860. The
women of the South and other non-com-
batants, not excluding clergymen, were
inspired with far deeper hatred to the
National Government at the close of the
war than were the Confederate
soldiers. Those who were boys
during the war have inherited all the
venom of their mothers, and are
slaves to instincts and passions ut
terly irreconcilsble with the habits of law
observing, law.reverencing peoples. The
power of the National Government is alone
the agency by which this population can
and must be controlled. When for a series
of years their experience shall show them
that obedience to the laws and the Consti-
tuition is enforced they may. by habit, learn
the duties of citizens. Now they respect
neither Constitution nor laws. Force is all
they do respect, and where the rights of
citizens are imperiled by these rebels and
sons of rebels. it is the duty of the Govern
ment to show force enough to command
and compel their obedience.
There is no disposition to "persecute the
innocent for the sins of the guilty - but if
we do not mistake the temper of this peo
pie there is solemn VOW registered in
their hearts that the guarantees of the Con-
s:itution and the protection of the laws
shall be thoroughly enforced wherever an
American citizen attempts to exercise his
rights under them. When the Southern
whites cease to use unlawful means to re
gain their lost power they need fear neither

Not One straight-All Of Color.

tFrom the Albany Evening JournaLl
We must take it back. We conceded yes
terday that there was just one straight Demo-
crat on the Tilden ticket. But we find that
this was a mistake. There is not even one.
Judge Earl, who alone of all the five candi-
dates was classified as a straight Democrat,
is not entitled to that distinction. He was
Know-Nothing. He entered upon the bench
as a Know-Nothing. In 1850 he was elected
county judge of Herkimer on the Know-Noth-
ing ticket, in opposition TO the regular Demo-
cratic candidate. And this development
leaves the Tilden ticket without a single
straight DemocraC UL IL. Look at the men and
the records:
Lucius Robinson, old Republican.
VIM. Dorsheimcr, Grant office holder.
Darius 4. Ogden, voted against Seymour.
Robert II. Anderson, Liberal Republican.
Robert Earl, Krow-Nothing.
And this is the ticket forced upon the men
who shouted " Give us Democrats n' This is
Tilden Democracy. No wonder they are ask
ing whether the Democratic party is about to
disband.

IT WILL be remembered that Mr.. Tilden
in his letter of acceptance, quoted from a
saying of his own, either real or imaginary,
to the Secretary of the Treasury in 1865,
after the fashion of "Sairey Camp
"What you want to do now is to cut down
"yCur expenses and live within your in
come" By reference to the letter of
Acting Secretary Conant, which is printed
on the first page of this issue, it will be
seen that this advice has been as closely
followed by the Republican Administra-
tiops since the war, as it was neglected by
the Democratic Administrations before the
war While Mr.. Tilden was living on his
income tar he was advising Secretary
McCuilOch, so he says, to live within his
income. What check

THE Democratic platform adopted at ST.
Louis said reform was necessary to estab-
" lish a sound currency, restore the public
credit and maintain the national honor.
And Mr. Tilden in his letter of acceptance
referring to that saying remarked: This
reform will be resisted at every step, bu
" ii must be persistently pressed" Now,
Mr.. Conant's letter shows beyond perad
venture that reform Is not necessary to
these ends because that they have been
consts ntly and gradually approached by
the Republican policy The currency has
never been sounder, the credit has been
fully restored, and the national honor has
been fully maintained by the Republican

NOW AND THEN.

The centennial anniversary of the battle
of Bunker HUI was last year celebrated
with great demonstrations of Joy at Charles
town and Boston. Military companies from
tendance, and the civilians and soldiery of
the North and South "clasped hands over
the bloody chasm" to the music Of cham
payne corks and National airs. To read
the speeches on the OCCASION one would
suppose that an "era of good feeling" be-
tween the different sections of the Union

TIE DEMOCRATS everywhere appear to
be greatly annoyed at the candidacy Of
General Butler in the Lowell district We
regret to observe also slight fiuttering
among the organs of the New York SNUG
glers, otherwise called frec-traders. We
are glad that General Butler has been
nominated, and chiefly for tie same
reasons which annoy II e parties above
named. The Democrats dread his pres
ence in Congress because of his heroic
method OF exposing their diabolical vii
laniCs in the South. The smugglers hate
him for his defense of Jayne d Sanborn in
their prosecution of delinquent taxpayers

WHEN Howell Cobb wanted a loan to
help out with the expenses Of the Utah
war in 1860 he was obliged to pay twelve
per cent. per annum for it, although he
had been redeeming the Government Sc
curlties at eighteen per cent. premium the
year before. This was specimen of Demo
cratic financial reform. 1t had Knocked
the national credit down some twenty
eight per ceutum, And yet his party now

SECRETARY CoNANT points out a few
errors ia Mr. Tideus romantic calculs-
tiops regarding the public debt, and its re-
ductiun under Republican rule, which
would be rather humiliating to a man of
keen and nice sense of honor. We COM
mend these official figures to the careful at
tention of Mr. Tildcn, with a hint that
when he next indjtes his letter accepting
the Democratic nomination for the Presi-
dcncy he had better consult official tables
rather than the arithmetic man Of the

laughing stock to his fellows.

So accustomed have the reform Democracy
of the South become to shooting as an ele-
ment of the campaign that at their prelim-
mary elections in New Orleans on Saturday,
for want of colored men to shoot at, they CON-

D. Lee for completely in the Mountain
Meadow massacre, which occurred in 1857,
nearly twenty years ago, will be read with in
terest. Whatever credit may be givent to the :es-
mony of the Mormon witnesses there is but little
doubt but Lee was one of the guiltiest of the
participants. The testimony now seems an effort
to remove the responsibility for the massacre
from the shoulders of the Mormon leaders,

years considered as resting.

The proprietor of hat factory in the town
of Danbury, Conn.,, recently became incensed
because a number of his employees assisted at
the organization of Hayes and Wheeler club,
and posted a notice requesting all that could
not support the Democratic ticket to leave on
the following Saturday. This prescription of
men for political opinions sake, is, it seems,
not to be monopolized by the late slave drivers
of the South, who have adopted 1t in many
places against the colored voters, but they are
to have their imitators at the North. The
difference between the eX- Confederates at the
South and their Northern allies truly is small,
consisting principally in the fact that at the
North there Is too strong public sentiment

A short time since the Democrats were much
elated over what they considered the certain
prospect of victory in Indiana. They had
made thorough canvass of the Sta;e, ami the
returns showed q balance on the Democratic
side. But it has transpired tina: there was a
slight miscalculation, by the discovery Of which
all their hopes have been upset. Instructions
were issued to the sub-canvassers to mark all
Democrats D., Republicans R., Liberals that
would vote the Republican ticket L. R., those
who would vote the Democratic ticket L. D.,
and also TO designate those who were doubtful.
1t has just been discovered, in carefully re-
vising these returns, that in a large number of
these reports the letter D has been used to de-
signate Democrats and also to Gesignlte the
doubtful. The percentage of doubtful in the
districts where they have been designated, if
applied to these returns, would make the
showing for the Republican party. Hence the

The Yeang Lady Of I.e.s Ago.

Speaking of high life in England in
the last century, writer says: The
young lady, no longer under the strict
guardianship of the lady chatelaine, is
taken by her mother from the country
as too dull an abode, to shine at court in
the metropolis. At sixteen her figure
is imprisoned i'm stiff iron stays, and her
head delivered over to the management
of a hair-dresser. Her department,
next to dress, is her first consideration;
she learns to walk in high-heeled shoes
and to manage gracefully her hoop and
her train. The dancingmastcr in
structs her in the stately minuet and
gavotte, and she has lessons from an
other professor in the management of
her fan-how to handle, flutter, and
furl this necessary adjunct to the toilet.
She troubles little about the antiquated
occupations of her predecessors, of
gathering herbs and compounding mys-
terious drinks for ailing old women or
sickly babes. She gives no thought to
the quaint cookery recipes carefully
treasured up in the cramped hand of
perhaps great-grandmother. Her only
care is to compose washes to increase
the fairness of her skin, paste to whiten
her hands, and lotions to counteract the
effects of tight-lacing and late hours.
The great study of her giddy head is
how she can best adOrn her person,
possess costly Mechlin or Brussels PIN
ners and ruffies, and rustic in brocades
and satins to captivate her admirers.
At length she succeeds, and becomes
the bride Of some resplendent beau,
with wig, patches, snuff-box, cane, and
breloques.
