Objections 10 Hon. John r.
Harris.

Editors Vindicator:-I propose to give
the voters Of this district, who read your
paper, some reasons why cannot support
the Hon. J. T. Harris, for denomination
for Congress. [ want a man we can rely
on in the hour of trial, or when difficulties
surround our party; who will stand by its
colors when it is weak as well as when it
is strong. Now, Jno. L. Harris has never
been true to any organization or any set
of principles, only so long as it suited his
selfish interest. A loud mouthed Demo-
craft when in county with but few Wings,
he bolted the organization in 1859, and
ran as an independent candidate against
Col. J. Fl. Skinner, the regular Democratic
nominee. A bigoted Virginian, when
loyalty to Virginia costs nothing, during
the war no one,couId tell to which side he
belonged. After the war his position was
so questionable that his name was placed
on the Wells ticket in 1859, and the Radi-
calls thought him sufficiently of their way
of thinking to give him an earnest support.
In truth, he has never stood by the Demo.
cratic organization in this district except
81. T. Harris' was its candidate. l op-
pose him because the Radicals now prefer
him to any man in the district and / OPP
pose him because he is a salary -grabber.

THE Democrats have not counted On
Indiana and Ohio for the Presidential cleo
ton, but the generalization of the Repub-
lican party in the former State and the en-
forced withdrawal of Orth, its nominee for
Governor, after having been two months
in the canvass, creates strong proba billty
that they will lose that State in October, or,
at least, have hard run for it. The with
drawal of Orth has more than a local i'm
portance. His record of corruption in the
Venezuelan bonds matter was well known
and had been published repeatedly by the
Democratic and Independent press before
tie Convention which nominated him met
After his nomination lie had to withdraw;
the people would not be forced by the poll
ticians to support him. So it is with Hayes
and Wheeler; the men who are to manage
them, Morton, Conkling, Logan, and that
set were known before the ticket was
chosen, and the people will not be forced
into the support Of them.

REPUBLICAN, PRESS ON PRESL
DENT FILDEN'S MESSAGE.

New York Tribune" (rep.)
Governor Tilden's letter bears the marks
of careful study and elaborate preparation.
Whoever of his opponents was looking for
a document which would expose his weak
points, or unnecessarily lay him open to
attack, or furnish arguments and capital
for the opposition, will be disappointed.
n. Il
His main points are reform in rublic ex-
pendiJure, the condition Of the South, re-
sumption, and civil service reform. 1t
would be idle to deny that.upon all those
his positions are for the most part strongly
taken and ably sustained. With much
that he says under each head a'large ma
Boston "Globe' lnd. rep.)
1t cannot be denied that Mr.. Tilden s
letter is a very strong bid for public conf
dence. 1t does not appear like mere
matter of profession, shrewdly devised to
meet the demands of public sentiment, but
declaration Of earnest convictions and a
determination to carry them out, SO far as
it may be in his power, if he should be
elected to the chief executive office of the
nation. It only confirms us in the opinion
repeatedly expressed, that the democrats
selected their best and strongest man as
the party standard bearer, and therein
showed more sagacity than they had dis
played for many years before.
New York "Times" rep.
Gov Tilden's letter of acceptance. so
far as it relates to finance and reform, 81
is mere re-hash of his last annual mess
age. The St. Louis platform was also a re.
hash of the same document by the same
hand. Here we have three documents,
all from the same pen, all containing the
same barren ideas, and oYerfowing with
cant about reform and exaggerated and
untruthful charges against the Republican
party.
Cincinnati "Gazette" (1ep)
He then enters upon reiteration of the
word reform; reform in general and re.
form in particular; specific reform and
comprehensive reform. all Of which is to
come in by electing himself, or 'the idea
of reform which he represented"
New York Graphic" (ind).
1t is a long. carefully written, elaborate
paper. treating of most Of the great ques.
lions before the country in thorough and
statesmanlike manner entirely creditable
to It's author and assuring to the country.
Philadelphia "Telegraph' Gndl.
If Mr.. Tilden should be elected Presi-
dent, and should carry out to the letter the
programme which he outlines, he would
be the best and greatest President that
has ever been in the White House.
Buffalo advertiser. (rep).
Mr.. Tilden is shrewd, intelligent law
yer, and his letter is special plea for his
party and himself, and like most of lis
messages is in the nature of a political
essay of suitable le9gth for a quarterly
magazine. Aside from the demagogic at
tempt to hold the Republican party re-
sponsible for all the ills Of the time, there
is much in the letter that is sound and
commendable.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.
It has been thirty five years since Au-
gusta had a representative in Congress
Casting one of the largest votes in the dis

strange state of affairs, when one looks at
the array of great men she has given to
the service of the State.
tits not that. Judge HARRIS, the pres
emit member, is superior to the men who
live in Augusta, two of whose lives we
give in sketch elsewhere; both of them
are his equal in everything except shrewd-
ness in managing his own election-it is
not that thpt keeps him in his seat, but it is
bubble that has grown large in the Conser
vative party-that he can so manage the
wires as to secure his own nomination.
That is to say, that he can biennially re-
elect himself. This is the merest bubble,
and should be properly exploded at
the Congressional Convention. No man
can foist himself upon constituen cy tor
life. That is the old aristocratic plan that
worked in the days of slavery, and which
it is claimed, gave Virginia SO much infu-
ence in the government. The inference is
erroneous, Virginia's influence WIS OBJ
tanned by sending men great of brain and
honest of heart. Since the war, the habit
Of returning sitting members has begotten
rings. 1t gave birth to the credit mobilier
frauds and to the odious salary grab, and
gave members the cheek to come back to
their constituents and say they were not
ashamed of their share in either. 1t gives
men the infatuation and lust of Office and
makes them tricky and INSCRIPTIONS about
the means they use to retain themselves III
power.
The old plea of the office-holder is that
a new member takes SO long a time to
learn the ropes. This is stuff, the parlia
mentary ropes of any legislative b ody can
be learned in month. The newspaper
reporter in his first months reporting
public body, knows the rules and knows as
much of what is going on, on and off the
floor as the old members. 1t is not hard
nor slow thing to learn. What is slow and

Some men say that if you want anything
done, the old members can get it done SO
much better. Well, there are only about fifty
men in Augusta who want private claims
attended to, and we don't think that for
those fifty man should be kept in Wash

CESAR IN BANKRUPTCY.

The Republican BELIsARIO at Washing
ton is reduced to the necessity of asking a
farewell penny for his services to his
country. The news comes that scheme
is on foot to propose to Congress to pen
sion him at $4,000 a year for the remand
er of his life, and that because of his be-
ing i'll reduced circumstance from specu-
lations, in which, we suppose, is included
Black Friday, in which his friend, BAB-
COCK, also suffered to the tune of $4,000
His career seems to have been not I'M
like that of the original CESAR, who,
before he held any public office,
owed thirteen hundred talents, and who,
after holding the preatorship, is reported
to have said on setting out for Spain:
BIS naillies ct qtiraqenties sibi deesee ut mihil
haberat," or that he was about ten mil
lions in greenbacks worse than nothing.
Our CESAR has filled his pockets like his
predecessors, except that the latter had
s'testaments from his friends.'' to the
amount of one hundred and sixty million
dollars in greenbacks, which would have
made ULYss s. mouth water, while our
CESAR got brick houses race horses, and
bull-pups, of which it would take great
many to make a million. JULlU was eX-
travagant with his country's money, buy
ing the friendship of the Consul L. PAULAs
with fifteen hundred talents-about one
million, three hundred thousand dollars,
and presenting SERvILLIA. the mother of
BRUTUs, who was leading the Republic
cans side of the Senate, a pearl worth
two hundred thousand dollars. while
ULYSSES has bought his friends and sup
porters with government offices, for which
purpose his party raised the number from
SO 900 to $4,000, and winking at extraor-
binary contracts in the Navy Department,
on the frontier.
What list Of obligations our second
CESAR can present to back his claim fol
this last obolunl. He has sold his co untry
he has dragged Columbia from imminent
peril and then prostituted her. Ten thous-
aud d year would be cheap for this per-
Torrance! He has introduced a personal
government, so corrupt that the footsteps
of the thieves are tracked to the very door
of the official mansion! Should he have
nothing for that? His influence has made
the filling offoffice matter of bargain; he
has tried to shield thieves around his per-
son when pushed by honest executors OF
the law, and he has surrounded himself
with advisers, whom the nation Is daily
pronouncing rotten. Shall he not have
ten thousand year for this? He would
if a Republican majority was in Congress,
but he won't now that the Democrats
have it. They won't be able to see how it
is that man, because he saved his

rupting it; They might have adopted a
resolution recommending to him the ex-
