A REPUBLICAN in this city received a
letter from his father, residing in New
York, and who, also, is republican, in
which letter the father says TO the son :
"Vote for Tilden this fall. On our
farm, last year, we had to pay one hun
dred dollars taxes. This year we have
to pay but fifty dollars" The son, as
well as the father, will vote for 1ilden.
All this Is fact, as can be proven, and is
but an indication of how is going the
tide Of victory.-Peoria democrat.
In answer 10 a call made upon him to
become candidate for governor Of South
Carolina, Gen. Wade Hampton says
=" While have neither sought nor de-
sired official station, | am now, as have
ever been, ready to serve the state in any
position to which she might call me. /
only ask that this call shall be made
with unanimity, and that those making

IF the negro governments of Louis
lana and South Carolina cannot stant
without the constant support of Unite,
States bayonets, II Is question whethe
they are At to stand at all. We are tolc
that no white man can be punished il
South Carolina for a wrong done a col
ored man. Was there ever NO complet,
a confession Of cowardice and imbecilit,
made as this? Is II worth while for Tho
people OF the United States to uphold Q

WHAT little enthusiasm there has been
has been only among the republican who
would have just AZ earnestly supported
Grant If he had been nominated instead
Of Hayes. They can get none of the
honest laboring masses TO join them. In
another month the supporters Of Haye,
will confess there is no chance for him.
Already a prominent republican OF this
city, who held an Office under president
Lincoln, has declared his belief that
"there will be flop over this fall"
Grantism has killed Hayes deader than
door nail. The sooner Hayesism and
Grsntism begin to die, the sooner the
prosperity of the country will begin "a
live again.--Troy Press.
We do not excuse violence. Nothing
excuses murder or lawlessness. Bul
these crimes which happen in the south
and of which, just now, the president
and the republican organs and politicians
give such horrifying accounts, are moi
without cause. They are the results o
a long course Of abuse begun and contin
ued by unscrupulous and selfish northern
adventures, who have, with the help o
the federal government, preyed upor
southern society, and who have not ever
had the courage and energy to punisl
these crimes OF which their conduct hal
been the main cause. Let non-interfer
ence have a trial. Let us see what will
happen If these adventures can no longel
call upon the federal power to maintain
them. That is the only cure.-N Y
Herald.
THE republicans are crying out against
the democratic house If representative,
because it has reduced the expenses O
the diplomatic service alleging that thai
service is thereby crippled. Yet as the,
cry three ministers-Davis, from Ger
many, Foster from Mexico, and Maynard
from Turkey-are announced as leaving
their missions and coming, or about "a
come, home To labor for the election OF
Hayes and Wheeler. The fact is, the
diplomatic service is costly humbug-
a relic OF the days before steam and telc.
graphic communication, and is of little
more practical use now than the old stage
coach and post boy. II could be reduced
TO one-tenth Of its present proportion,
with profit TO the interests it nominally
serves, to the credit Of the country and
to the pockets of tsx-payers.-Rocheste,
Union.
