dred went over there, and, sir, what are we to say
Of the brave white men, who fought in the Con-
federate army, coming out IN an armed force 10
capture and subjagate forty deienceless negroes
collected in . building In there they couIa NOT
defend themselves. These men said they would
surrender the few arms they had, put not untii
Cen Butler or some one else high IN authority
should 1--WE them assurance that they themselves,
their lives and their property should be secure.
Did they expect from Gen. Butter any more than
is acceded to them by the constitution
/ ask whether they had not as much right to
bear arms as Gen. Butler or anybody else I Had
they menaced or threatened any one while en-
gagged in that parade on the 4th OF July' NO,
SRI The whole trouble arose because a few men,
iuhamed with whisky and with a determination to
snbdue the negro in the South, told them with
threats that they must stand across the road SO
that these men might be enabled to drive by un-
molested. Why, sir just think OF 1t what would
be thought of it here III Washington city, II when
a military company was parading on the Atm OF
July two men should come up in buggy and de-
mand of the officers that the company should get
ont of the way. and If they did not should at once
set to work TO murder the men Of that military
company?

it? | ask you, proud southern men, VINO boast OF

persecution and massacre by these people IN the
South Are you not going to allow US any right

people, in the name of humanity, in the name OF
God, ask you whether we are to be American

Again ask you to tell us whether these things
are to 90 on, SO that may understand now and

ing the killing of the prisoners, with other cx-
tracts upon the same subject.

That was rather an unkind act in Gen.
Sam Anderson. at the democratic ratlica-
ton meeting in Portland, to snub Mr..
Clifford for his apologeiical remarks in
relation to the democracy and the princi-
pie introduced by jackson, ITO the victors
belong the spoils." Mr.. Clifford must
take care in future how he admits that
democracy ever did or could do anything
wrong Mr.. Clifford was clearly right,
but if he allows the General to snub him
as he did Saturday evening, he might as
well conclude to abandon all hope of sue
cess in public life.

POL/TCAL,

Ex-Gov. CASTOR is said to have consented to a
denomination by the democrats of Massachusetts,
and it is thought the Convention will name him.
Judge Esterbrook, leading man in the Greeley
movement in Nebraska in 1872, says that he will
vote for Hayes and Wheeler this fail because he
thinks that they, and the platform on which they
stand, represent genuine and living reform.
The more people read Gov. Hayes letter the
better they like it. 1t is gaining friends for him
all the time. The democrats have failed to find
any vulnerable point in it, and have already
stopped talking abont it.-Iri6une
The New Orleans Times admits that when the
republicans of Louisiana put Marshal Packard at
the head of their State ticket they "put their hes:
foot forward" and it says that he of all the as
pirapts for the nomination will be most diff ,ult to
combat.
Democrats in South Carolina advise that
'straght-out' ticket be nominated. and that the
State be carried on ''the Mississippi plan" They
began to work on the Mississippi plan in Hamburg
the other day
The Augusta Gao CJnsttutionast, after al
luding to the Hamburg, ;. c., atrocities, says
"Whle woald bid our people never cease to re-
member that the price of liberty is obedience to
the law it never be forgotten that the repub
lican party has done its utmost to yitiate society,
corrupt civilization, and make laws that the devils
in Tartarus might blash to acknowledge respect
for" The Constutionalst is strong for Tilden--
and reform.
Before the war Tlden encouraged rebellion by
declaring that the nation had no ri hit to coerce

a. first by his silence, and after that by the dec

AT the great republican meeting in New
York last week, one of the speakers, who
followed Greeley in 1872, gave the follow.
ing illustration of the insincerty of the
democrats in that campaign:
The dem ociacy never gave an honest vote fol-
Horace Greeley and he was deserted by them al
the last. There was one old farmer in the west OF
the State, a bluff old man, democrat to the
backbone, and Of much influence, but he would
not swallow Greeley. Matters were serious, and
he was brought to the party chiefs, and
). s. Cox took the old rustic in hand in.
iroduced him to Horace Ca eey, and they
talked farming and how to plant corn and straw
berries IN one hill TO save room, and the old farm
er went away seeming sad but satisfied. As Sun
set and be walked down the avenue a great ban.

The venerable ex-senator Foote, of
Mississippi, now residing at Nashville,
Tenn, having been importuned to allow
his name to appear upon the republican
electoral ticket for the State of Tennessee
at large, replies in lengthy letter.
Among other things he says;
81 shall be content to fight in the ranks for the
success Of republican principles, the firm and
steady maintenance of which deem essential to
the national repose and happiness.
1t is my deliberate opinion that the present is
by far the most important political struggle that
our country has yet known. Between now and
November next has to be settled, as trust forever,
through the peaceful fundamentally of the ballot
box. the great question whether we are indeed

Greeley Slandered to Save Tilden

| The Belfast Journal speaks Of Mr.. Tiden
| being possessed of honesty that was never ques
toned" That letter of Horace Greeley to Mr.
Tllden is rather strong contradiction of what
| the Journal says above. If it does not question
Tildens honesty then Horace Greeley did not un-
| derstand the meaning and force Of language
! Kennebec Journal
| Horace Greeley's accusations against any pub
| lie mans honesty are not to be taken question
ings, in the ordinary Greeley was an i'm
pulsive, excitable man, uncomfortable as
steam engine without regulator. 1t was his Gus
tom, when in fit of anger, to sit down and write
to the object of his wrath long letter, which he
Immediately published in the Tribune. These
were ludicrously strained and void of all reason.
His letter in 1854 to VIM. II. Seward, announcing
"thc dissolution of the political firm of Seward,
Weed & Greeley, by the Withdrawal of the junior
partner" is case in point. 1t was more bitter
than that to Tilden and accused Seward of in
gratitude, falsehood and downright dishonesty.
"You lie, villain" was his response to political
article by Henry J. Raymond. The crazy "On to
Richmond articles at the beginning of the war
will be remembered-also that the re- nom nation
of Lincoln was opposed by Greeley. because he
lacked faith in him. The editorial career was full
Of libel suits, brought on by his rash and ground
less accusations against men in public and private
life. He was man utterly without discretion or
reason IN his fits of anger. His accusations
against Tilden were kindred to all the rest-the
result of personal pique, and made in moment
of bitter wrath
Gov. Tilden has met and overcome all the slam.
ders that can be brought against him. When he
was the candidate for Governor in 1874, these
were all raked out and paraded-dishonesty 81
gantic frauds and all-and yet Tilden was elected
over Dix. the most popular man among the Re-
pubicans of the State, by fifty thousand maj orty.
That is a stubborn fact which cannot be wiped out
by any parade of the stale, half crazy letters of
Horace Greeley. Our Kennebec neighbor will
have to construct some other scarecrow.-Belfdst
Journal.
We publish the above from the Belfast
Journal. No comment is necessary.
Every republican who acted in concert
with the democrats in 1872 in support of
the candidacy OF Horace Greeley for Presi-
dent, will feel keenly and Indignantly the
SANDER heaped upon Mr.. Greeley in the
foregoing article, to relieve Tilden from
the odium he deserves as the associate of
Tweed in the gigantic frauds whereby
New York was given to the democracy in
1868. Mr.. Greeley's letter was not the
work OF crazy man, or written in impulse
or anger. lie knew whereof he was writ
ing, and to whom he was writing. If
Tilden or his friends can find no better
answer to Greeley's letter than to charge
him with being crazy man. they will be
invited to rise and explain why it was that
they supported this alleged crazy man for
President three years after he wrote and
published his letter to Tilden.

Bribery and Massacre.

These are the instruments with which
Samuel j. Tilden, the pseudo reform
candidate, expects TO obtain his cleo
ton. In the North money is to be used to
secure votes for him, in the South republi-
cans are to be massacred for the benefit OF
the Tiden ticket.
IL is no secret that Tilden intends to re-
sort to bribery on large scale. The ar
gument which oveltopped all in favor OF
his nomination al St. Louis was his wealth
and the promise that he would use 1t I'D
orally in the canvass to corruptlv increase
his vote. His friends everywhere speak
of his money with no reserve, as one OF
the potent agents to be used in the cam
paign. They make their boast OF 1t. 1t
i, said on democratic authority that So
000, 900 will be raised hy democrats TO
carry Indiana for Tldeu, and that he has
pledged $500 600 of that SOM from his
own funds
In the South, however, canister and
grape, the rifle and the halter, are to be
the chosen Instruments of the democratic
reform candidate to secure his election.
The work has already begun. The mas
sacre of the colored men at Hamburg,
South Carolina, is an example. The ne
rroes must he frightened SO that they viii
not dare to go to the polls to vote the re-
publi, an Ii .ket. For this they are butch
cred And the democratic press of the
North has no word in condemnation OF
the bloody business. Mr.. Cox OF New
York rises in his seat, when the mas
sacre at Hamburg is brought before the
House, aud says it is nothing but
"bloody shirtism." That is all he has to say
about massacre that is q disgrace to our
country, stain upon our civilization, an
inhuman and barbarous act, for which
there was no provocation and no induce
ment except to teach the "ngger&" that
the white democrats are going to brook
no opposition on the part of the colored
people to Tilden and the rule of the slave
cracy of the South.
That democrats with any conscience can
support ticket that depends for lis sue
cess upon such agencies as Tilden is using
is past comprehension.

during the past season. Although one of the
most unpropitious of any since the war, we are
thankful to say 1t has been most successful and

been due to our having largely reduced our ex-
penses on entering upon the year, enabling us
to sell at mucn closer prices than ever beore,
and our constant visits to the market enabling
us to lake advantage of every decline and pick
up special bargains. We propose going to New
