him to be honest, he made good Governor
and q good officer in the field, but opposed
him because he was piece Of the same
cloth, If not chip of the same old block,
and would be surrounded by the same had
influences as Grant. party that had
had Cabinet minister impeached.
Another awaiting trial, the administra-
tion connected with the whiskey and other
rings, there must be something rotten in
Denmark. If the army had been sent to
fight Sitting Bull and not to the South, the
nation would not have lamented the death
of the gallant Custer, nor saw Generals
Terry and Crook going into winter quar-
ters in summer time for fear of being
whipped by a handful of Indians.
In South Carolina, State that is under
Republican control, the Legislature consists
of 81 whites and 98 blacks, of which
eighty of the latter cannot
read nor write. Before the war the station
ary for one session of the Legislature cost
but $500; but since the carpet bagger has
controlled the State the cost for stationary
alone has been from $4,000 to $4,000 a
session. All this with so negroes who can
not read nor write.
OF all the State officials only two pay

The Governor pays nothing to Treasurer
pays nothing to the Commissioner of Edu-
cation, pays nothing to the Lieut.. Governor
pays SIS and the Comptroller pays 81 total
SIG. Nothing like this can be found in any
other of the 80 states.
In 1873 the expenses of the Legislature
amounted to $29l 900, not including the
public printing which amounted to 1888 900.
which is in excess of the great State of New
York.
Before the war the tax levy was $500, 900
In 1879 the tax levy was $2,70O0,0
The bonds of the States of South Carroll
ma and North Carolina, who have been
under carpet bag rule, bonds sells for Is
cents OIL the dollar, and the bonds of Louis
lana will bring nothing, but the Democratic
State of Georgia bonds are at par.
The speaker then reviewed Secretary
Tafts orders. and stated that Hon. VIM.
Mann, of Philadelphia, had stated in a
speech in Philadelphia, that they (the
military were travelling north, and the
same thing would be enacted in the north
ern States.
Secretary Taft was executing law de-
clared by the Supreme Court of the United
States to be unconstitutional. The enforce
ment act under which Mr.. Given was tried
and fined, though Mr.. Bayard, Mr.. Gray land
himself had tried to convince Judge Strong
that the law was unconstitutional; he az
that time could not see 1t, but had since that
time delivered the opinion of the Supreme
Court that the law was unconst-
tutional and null and void in every partlcu
lar.
Col. Whiteley concluded by urging upon
all Democrats to vote to-day, which would
be the initiatory stepin this State, and would
be answered by Indiana next Tuesday, and
by the whole country in November.
With three cheers for Tilden and Fen
bricks, and the whole ticket the meeting
adjourned.

armed troops are sent to the polls. If Mr..
Taft has the right to send six soldiers to
one of these election polls, he has the right
to invade the State of Delaware. If he
has the right to send troops to Hamburg,
South Carolina, he has the same right to
send them to Schuylkill county, Pa, where
outrages equally as great have been COM
mitted. If Gov. Tilden is elected Presi-
dent, will not be willing to give him un-
limited powers, or one half, that Grant
grasps at. In the Southern States the Re-
publicans have turned all social laws up
side down, the negro on top. The negro
legislators of South Carolina voted them
selves $l1 day with white pages to
bring them ice water. The Southern States
had no right to contract new debt as they
were left Impoverished by the war, still fifty
Thousand dollars of South Carolina bonds
have been sold In New York city at fifty
cents upon the dollar and that fifty cents

of the South are united In favor Of good
government, without united south every
Southern State would be In like condition.
If the South ut the close of the war had be-
ing an agricultural district, and had been
allowed to form and attend to their natural
products, demand would have
been made upon our manu-.
facturers of Wilmington, and our
mechanics would be employed instead OF
being ia idleness. He urged all to vote the

DECLINE IN PRICES OF GoODs.-Since the
great sales OF cotton and wooden goods In
New YORK the most prominent dry goods
dealers have been marking down prices. The
reduction began with the down-town houses
which find their principal customers among
the middle or laooripg class OF the popula
ZION, those who have been Obliged to ecOno-
mizs their means. 1t has since extended To
great up town dealers, such as A. T. Stewart
Co., Lord a. Taylor, Arnold, Constable Il
Co., and others. ALI OF them have put do gn
prices, and under the spur OF competition
are acting on the principle of QUICK sale-
and small profits. The policy Of thus lead
by Offering unusual incentives TO buy is uu.
doubtedly good one. From tbs New York
the annexed statement is given: "The better
class OF dealers agree that prices promise To
remain low. They are convinced that they
have reached hard pan, and that they must
Work therein. Every sign and indicaGio
goes to strengthen their conviction. In
scores OF fashionable shop windows placards
are now 10 Dc seen, where they never were
seen before, announcing the cheapness of the
articles on exhibition. A pair OF hose that q
year or two ago would cost 81 or 81 % Is DOW
labelled with card on which Is printed
"5Oc." or "75c." Undershirts that used to

twelve shirts for as many 81 bills, or single
shirt can be bought for 81 at places where
two years ago the cheapest they had cost 81 ("
All kinds OF hosiery have been marked down
12k per cent, and the price Of linen and fne
dress goods has also been reduced. A short

The REPoRTKD ARREST OF Boss TWEED.
II the version given from London OF one OF
Reuters kilograms from Madrid be true
VIM NJ. Tweed has been arrested, together
with his cousin, Mr.. Hunt, on board Span
teh merchantmen lying in the harbor OF
Vieo, seaport town OF the province OF Pom
tevedra, spain, and lodged In the fortress OF
Vigo. He Is said to have been travelling
when arrested under the assumed name Of
Secor. A verbatim copy of q dispatch to
Reuters agency, dated the same day, from
Madrid, indicates strange bewilderment OF
the spanish mind II the person arrested be
really Tweed. This dispatch announced the
arrest at Pontevedra Of one Twid Anteline,
an American, on the charge OF kidnapping
several American children. It states, further,
that the Washington government had de-
manded bis extradition, and that Spain had
placed him at Its disposal. The middle is
complete when We are told that the Ameri
can government had demanded OF Spain the
surrender of Twid Auteline, the kidnapper
knowing at the same time that we have no
treaty OF extradttion with that country
Still IT Is possible that both Twid Anteline
and SecOr may, under this double disguise,
be the genuine Tweed.
