Judge Ciiiford's Decision.
Mr.. BLAINE ON Mr.. BRADBURY.

DETROIT, MIcH Oct q, 1876.
To The Editor Of tie Press:
have seen Mr.. Bon Bradbury'S second let
ter on the johnson Dow case, published in the
Argus of the 18th inst
While am not ambitious to have the east word
it is proper for me to observe that Mr.. Bradbury
finds it convenient to direct his criticisms against
a report of my remarks at Warren, Ohio, which
report had previously stated was not correct.
Mr.. Bradbury avoids and evades all discussion on
the points covered by my letter. may be par
doned therefore for saying:
lst. made no statement of tie johnson Dow
case at Warren, Ohio or anywhere else, that diff
fercd in any essential respect from my original
statement of it in Boston--and that statement
Judge Clark affirmed to be Substantially cor
rect"
Mr.. Bradbury now acknowledges his gross in
accuracy IA stronger phrase might be fairly used)
in asserting, as he did without qualification,
that had a letter in my possession from Judge
Clarke censurng me and calling me to account
for misstating Judge Chnord's position. con-
cede to Mr.. Bradbury all the grace he deserves
for his relraction though it was not prompt, nor
in the tone Of gentleman.
81. think | comprehend all the danger that
may come in the future if Judge ClitTords opin-
ion stands as good law. | have not spoken any
where in terms Of PERSONAL disrespect of Judge
Clifford. have had no occasion to do so and
no desire to do But 10 not concede that
Judge Clitfords opinions are above criticism
nay, deem it my duty to aid in sounding the
nj
temper and tendency of judicial opinion on this
question, which Judge Clarke says forciJiy illus
trqtes the danger 10 be GppreheHded from these
Southern rar cldinS." | remember the warm
ngs which Mr.. Jefferson left on record concern
ing the danger from the Judiciary. As profess
sed though not real follower of Jefferson, it
might be well for Mr., Bradbury to study these
warnings anew before eYpan ling the limits of hi,
controversy.
4th. On this whole subject of Southern war
claims, Mr.. Bradbury may have a great deal to
Learn and when he knows more he may possibly
abae the arrogant confidence of his tone. | ain
quite willing that he should expend his wrath
mi.rcport Of my remarks instead Of combating
my actual statement as endorsed by Judge Clarke.
Bat that sly of controversy win hardly be re-
gardcd as fair or manly, or honorable.
Ia conclusion, de:he TO say to Mr.. Bradbury
that have had more opportunity than he for oh
serving the danger to be apprehended to the
Treasury of the United States from these South
cIn claims, and that without undue egotism, may
quote to him the famous saying of Mr.. Webster
"Oa that subject. Sir, an to BE- iaquired Of, and
not informed, By yoa."
Very Respectfully,
J. G.. BLAINE.

Mr.. Tilden and the Southern
Claims,

Mr.. Tilden wears his quill with diff
ference" Touching matters which he
alone can explain, and which the public
anxiously wishes to be informed about, he
Is obstinately silent. Touching matters OF
general policy, where Intelligent observ
ers can make up their minds what is like
ly to happen quite as well as Mr. Tilden
can, he is very free with his views and
promises He has just written letter
to his faithful apologist, A. S. Hewitt, on
the subject of Southern claims. 1t is i'm
portant mainly as a concession on his
part that the subject needed attention,
and that he and his party cannot afford
to ignore it; as reinsurance to the
country. should it have the misfortune to
see Mr.. Tilden President, it is of very
doubtful value.
Mr.. Tilden declares that payment of
the rebel debt and of losses by emancipa-
ton is prohibited by the fourteenth
amendment, and ia that he is corrct He
also says that this amendment has been
repeatedly approved and agreed to by
Democratic State Conventions of The
South" "Repeatedly" is vague word
Our own impression is that the number of
conventions that have taken such action is
small. But if il had been never so large,
1t would be of little consequence. The
democratic party in Iliiay oil the Southern
W. 4, I in tad
out, is a party of bad faith. 1t has repu-
dated the debts of the States in which it
has been in power without scruple If
Mr.. Tiden wishes us to suppose that he
himself thinks that the professions of IA
political platform would stand in the way
of the South one instant, should there be
any hope Of getting from the National
Government reimbursement for its losses
by the rebellion, we must decline to do so.
He is too old a politician. and he knows
his men too well to seriously entertain
any such opinion.
Tine same remarks apply to the declara-
tions of the National Democratic Conven-
ton. Mr.. Tilden says that the fourteenth
amendment Twas unanimously adopted as
a part of the platform Of the Dumocratic
National Convention at s.. Louis on
the 2Sth of June, and was declared by
that platform TO be 'nntcersaily accepted
as a final settlement of the controversies
that engendered civil war; The italics
are Mr.. Tilden's. They are unfortunate.

Southern History of the United

New York Times The Bangor
Wing is in possession of little curi>
osity-"The New School History of
the United States." 1t is tex book
in use in the public schools of Vir-
ginia and in other parts of the South,
prepared from the rebel standpoint,
and perverting the facts of recent
history with most amusing shame
lessness. The war for the Union is
termed THE Sectional War;" and
Mr.. Lincoln "he Sectional Presi-
dent" The right of secession is de-
fined as u necessary part of State
Sovereignty, which had never been
for moment surrendered to the
Federal Government. OF Butler it
is said that "he received the name
of Beast and by common consent
of Europe and America that name
has become hist rical." Robert e.
Lee, on the other hand, is depic cd
as hero, whose great deeds won
for him world wide fame and en-
throned him in the hearts of the
Southern people" The assas>ina-
ton Of lincoln is gl)ssed over vii b
the remark that "B)o,h committed
the act under the fanatical idea that
the war wouli terminate and the
South gain her freedom if Lincoln
was killed." The pirate Semmes is
praised as a distin guished naval COM
mander; and the murderer Jackson
as patriotic martyr" while his
victim, Ellsworth, is characterized
as 'famous rough" Such is his

Stable Floors.

Mr.. j. Wilkinson, a rnral archi'
tect of much experience, has hit up.
on tie following plan for improving
the construction Of stable floors.
The floor is made level, fore and aft,
but having a gentle slope from each
Of the two sides of the center, or
half the width Of the stall. The
pIanks arc laid crosswise, incllning
to the center, leaving az opening
between the ends in the centre Just
wide enough for the urine TO drain
through into metal gutter under
the floor, which conducts it outside
the building to q hogshead or to a
manure pit. This prevents it from
being absorbed in the bedding, which
otherwise is wet fetid, and uncom-
Portable to horses. The cleanliness
of this arrangement of floor, over
every other, should render its adop
ton universal The little slope 10
the floor is another advantage. as 1t
admits of the animal lying as be al
ways does, whore he can in pasture
fields, /. e. with his back up the grade
Then the floor, being always kept
dry, makes good bed for the horses
without litter, during the summer
months, besides being cooler and
freer from the ammonia, which the
latter exhsles. Turf, Field and

The Inter- Oceanic Canal.

The idea of constructing a ship
canal across the iAthmas of Panama
has not yet been abandoned by the
United States. The vast benefits
which would flow from this artificial
highway between the two oceans
cannot be over estimated. Our west
ern coast would be within easy reach
of our commercial marine, and the
perilous trip around the Horn would
be avoided altogether by those ves-
sells seeking the Pacific ocean. As
if conscious of the immense value OF
this route to the civilized world,
nature presents almost insurmount-
able obstacles TO the successful pros
ecution of the work. Deadly swamps,
deep rivers, dense forests, mountains
of flinty rock, seem to have been
purposely placed on this narrow
neck of land that separates two
oceans. For many years the best
engineering talent of the land has
been trying to find some practicable
route over the isthmus. Large sums
of money and many lives have been
sacrificed in the endeavor to master
the natural difficulties which present
themselves. During the past year
two expeditions were sent out by
the United States Government TO
complete the survey for tho inter-
oceanic canal.
One was under the command OF
Lieutenant Frederick Collins, who
was instructed to make careful sur
vey of the Napipi canal route.
Swamps and marshes were encouh-
tered for the first five miles of the
route. These gave place to hills and
Lull runs from the Bay of Aspinwall
on the Caribbean Sea to Panaman on
the Pacific The length of the line
ia ALI miles, and the estimated cost
S94, 9l1,360. Neither of these routes
present any advantage ovor the one
known as "The Nicaraguan Route"
hitherto surveyed, and to those who
have made the subject study the
latter route is deemed the most
practicable for ship canal. This
mountains as the party neared the
Pacific, making the entire line ex-
tremely difficult TO survey. The
route followed by Lieutenant Col.
Inns is 1922 miles long, and the esti-
mated cost for ship canal is. $685.
100000. By this route the proposed
tunnel under the dividing ridge
would be 81 miles long.
The other expedition was under
the charge of Commander Edward 2.
Iull, and its line of survey was near
the line Ct the Panama railroad
The route laid out by Commander
route begins at Greytown on the
Atlantic side, and strikes the Pacific
short distance north OF the Rio del
Brito. Each subsequent survey
of new lines appears to have
stree gethened the claims of this one,
and it is not improbable that before
many years the Nicaragua Ship
Canal will be one Of the accomplish
ed facts of the century.

What Men Are at Their Best.

DIR. Beard states that from an an
alysis OF the lives of thousand rep-
resentative men in all the great
branches of the human family, he
made the discovery that the golden
decade was between 40 and SO, the
brazen between 90 and 30 the iron
between so and 60 The superiority
of youth and middle life over old age
10 original work appears all the great
er when we consider the fact that all
the positions of honor and prestige
professorships and public stations
are in the hands ofthe old. Reputa-
ton, like money and position, is
mainly confined to the old. Men are
not widely known until long after
they have done the work that gave
them their fame. Portraits of great
men are decisions statues are false
They are taken when mon have be-
come famous, which, on the average
is at least TWENTY-FIVE years after they
did the work which gave Thorn thor
fame. Original work requires en-.
thusiasm. If all the original work
done by men under 40 was annihilat
ed, they would be reduced to bar
barism. Men are at tn eir best at
that time when enthusiasm and ex-
perience are almost evenly balanc ed
This period, on an average, is from
80 to 40. After this, the law is that
experience increases, but enthusi asm
decreases. OF course there are ex
captions.
