ANOTHER LETTER cALLEn FOE

A Herald interviewer caught q small
tartar the other day in the person of W.
b. Ross Levin, esq, Of Rochester, who is
partner in business with State Senator
Jarvis Lord, Democrat. Mr.. levin, it
seems, is an active Republican, and the
interview went as follows;
Q. How is the State going, Mr.. Lewinl A.
have no doubt it will go Republican and for
Hayes.
o. What are your reasons for thinking sol
A, There are number of reasons. Among
others is the fact that there is no temperance
candidate this year. The temperance vote
numbers some 12 900, nine out of ten of which
will now vote the Republican ticket. Then
there is the Liberal Republican vote, say 15,-
600, which was against US in 1872. We ex-
pect to carry four fifths of that vote.
Q. Have you heard of many Republicans
who will vote the Tilden ticketl A. Very
few, indeed. If anything, the odds are on the
other side. Why, sir, only few days ago
prominent Democrat in this city, who has al
ways acted with the Democratic party, man
of wealth and standing, placed in my hands
check for $3.50 to help defray the expenses of
Republican meeting we were getting up.
G. Can you assign any reason for this act of
generosity? A. Yes. The gentleman refer to
was cognizant of the tact that when during
the war the soldiers in camp sent home their
votes In envelopes, directed to the chairman
of the Democratic State Committee, the en-
Yelopes were opened, and where Republican
tickets were found they were taken out and
their places supplied by Democratic tickets.
. @. Who was chairman of the Democratic
State Committee at that time! A. Samuel j.
Tilden.
@. That's a pretty hard charge. What Is
the name of the Democrat who gave you this
informatiop2 A. Pardon me, but | do not
wish to tell you.
Citizens of New York now in Washing
ton say there is no doubt this trick was
actually played. viii Mr. Tilden rise and

THE New York World Of Saturday foots
up the debts Of the Southern States to be
S22O, ,0O0, 900, and states of it that "s great
" part has been incurred while the South
Z" was in the hands of Northern Republi-
g cans and native negroes pinned to it by
d Federal bayonets." So far from this
being true, it could be easily proven that
not twenty per cent. Of the debts of the
Southern States has been made since the
war, and of this sum not one half under
Republican. rule, But we only speak of
this incidentally. The Worlds article,
which is over column long, is intended
TO show that the Government of the United
States ID, land Of right out to be-" respon-
sible for and pay this $220, 600, 900. The
line of argument is that the State govern
ments under reconstruction were forced on
the people Of these States by Congress,
contrary to the will of the people; that the
debts were contracted by these State gov
States, which made these State govern
ments, is responsible for them and should
pay the debts they made. This is the
substance of more than column of bslder-
dash and misstatements. At the close of
the article is the following question and
answer: 'fCan the debts of the Southern
&c States be paid or refundedf Not if Hayes
twins" For once the World is right.
These debts cannot and will not be paid by
the United States Government If Hayes wins
The World appeals to the moneyed menOf
New York to aid in defeating Hayes, that
these debts may be paid. Tilden's bar's
Of money must have given out "a his

As AN inducement for Northern men and
foreigners to settle in the South, the Demo
cratic clubs in Orangeburgh and Barnwell
counties, South Carolina, have adopted the
following resolutions, aud sent them to all
the other counties in that State for adoption:
"Rssolved, l. That we will not rent land to
any Radical leader or any member of his
family, or furnish home or give employment
to any such leader or any member of his
family.
"2. That we will not furnish any such
leader or any member of his family any sup
plies, such as provisions, farm implements,
stock, etc., except so far as contracts for the
present year are concerned.
''3. That we will not purchase anything any
Radical leader or any Of bis family may offer
for sale, or sell any such leader or any MEM
Der of his family anything whatever.
az. That the names of such persons, who
may be considered leaders, be furnished to
this club at the earliest date, and that q list
of the same be furnished to each member Of
tie club. ..-... s.
''5. That whenever any person or persons
who shall be depominated Radical leaders by
q vote of this club shall cease as such, these
resolutions shall become null and void so far
as such leader or leaders or any member of
his or their families are concerned"

PLUCK gentlemen, pluck The "hurrah"
of the hour is with the Opposition. There
are few Republicans who seem to have
been overcome by it. and become dispirited.
If they stop to analyze their feelings, how
ever, they will discover that their fears re-
garding The result of the election next
week are engendered by their appreciation
of the dangerous national calamity that
would ensue from the election of Tilden.
They should understand that this appre-
citation is shared and felt by every true
hearted citizen in the country-a fact
which will insure a full vote and Repub-
ican victory. We say again, Pluck

Thus 1t will be seen how o chivalric South
Carolinian thrived at the close of the war
upon his unsuspecting acquaintances. Where
is the confidence man who could have been
more adroit? And yet this man actually pre-
sumes to again obtain a foothold In South
Carolina, that he may treat the State as he
has his creditors. Hampton's transactions
since the war are about on par with those Of
Tilden, whose willing henchman he has become.
His treatment OF Mr.. Portmus, gentleman, of
England, may be lfkened to Tflden's furniture
transaction, while the way in which he SWIM
died Miss Linton is on a par with Sammy's
shinplaster transactions in Michigan. Under
the homestead laws of Mississippi he was
awarded all the personal property he pos
sessed, his wife claiming the real estate under
deed of trust. Where is the carpet-bagger
who has appeared in the South since the war
with so voluminous q record for honesty and
integrity? If no other evidence of the dep,ora-
BILE State of decentralization prevailing among
the Southern whites could be addnced, the
fact that they lionize an individual like Hamp-
ton would be adequate to show that their
hearts have been ossified and their intellects
distorted by the effects of the war and the
want of the benefits of free schools.
