him honest in his opinion that it is mad
visable to .fr a period at which greenbacks
shall be convertible into gold. This is his
deliberate judgment nor. He attaches to
resumption certain preiminaries, prece-
dents, or processes, which, not being at
once accomplishable, the actual period of
resumption must necessarily be equally
uncertain and indefinite. But he has not

in November will determine which. But
the Intlationists don't think Tilden is-not
now at least. They did think SO when he
opposed them last Fall in Ohio, and said so
very freely. Now they adore him with all
the devotion imaginable. Says the Cincin
natl Enquirer, the representative Initiation
journal of the West, in commenting on
Mr.. Tilden's letter:
elf any Western Democrat had been
nominated for the Presidency, it is doubt
full if he would have put into his letter of
acceptance such pronounced professions in
favor of the Western belief concerning the
currency. We do not think that any West
ern candidate, who could have been nomi-
mated, would have been in his accepting
letter so brave in defense of the friends of
currency reform as Mr.. Tilden has been
generous and statesmanlike. We opposed
the nomination of Mr.. Tilden. When nomi
mated, we gave him support. With his let,
ter before US, we cordially call upon our
friends every where to give him an earnest
support. He has left no excuse for third
party.''

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.

WAsHINGToN, d. c., August Sth 1876.
DEAR WHIG.-Old hot has come back
once more to dissolve the partnership rela.
tions existing between the paper collar and
the shirt button. "Never crow till you
get out of the woods" is an old adage.
People who had been solacing themselves
with the belief that the back bone of the
heated term was broken, are beginning to
thing that their self congratulations were
somewhat premature. And yet probably
no other inland city in the United States
is so much favored, as respects weather, as
Washington, where the streets and avenues
are exceptionally wide, they allowing the
free passage of air currents, which temper
the heat to residents and soiourners
There are fewer cases of prostration from
heat in Washington, in proportion to
population, than in any other city in the
Union.
OUR GOSPEL TENT.
The services at the Gospel Tent on
Sunday last, throughout the entire day were
of more than usual interest. In the morn
ing, the pastor preached from the parable
OF the barren fig tree, as recorded in the
It'll and 9Th verses of the 18th chapter of
Luke; after which the sacrament of the
Lords Supper was administered to a large
number of communicates. Subsequently,
large number united with the mission.
At P. NJ, there was an interesting chill
dren's meeting, which consisted of singing
and addresses. The p. NJ, services were
conducted under the auspices of the Work
ing Christian Association, society of
Christians just organized to work in con-
nection with the revival. The meeting
was we'll attended, and gave evidence of
future usefulness. The scene at night was
an inspiring one, reminding one of an old
fashioned camp meeting. Inside the tent
every available seat, including the steps to
the stand, was occupied, embracing
within its limits perhaps fifteen hundred
people. Outside, and all around the tent,
there was a dense concourse of people,
who were unable to obtain admittance;
but the tent curtains, which are eight feet
high, were raised to their full hight, so
that those on the outside could both see
and hear Rev. DR.. Sunderland, of the
Four and a-half ST. Presbyterian Church,
preached from Isaiah lii, ). Space will
not permit OF an abstract of the sermon
1t is sufficient to say that it was worthy of
the high reputation of the spirited preacher

THE Chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee has addressed to the
faithful drought the South confidential
circular. We give below a portion of it.
1t explains itself.
with each other no gloomy forebodings shall
be INDUCED in. and that the result of the
coming election shall be spoken of as a
foregone conclusion, as we have the means
of carrying the election, and intend to use
them. But be careful to say and do no.
thing that can be construed into threat
or intimidation of any character. You
cannot convince a negro's reason, but
you can impress him by positive state
ments continually repeated"
Clip this out, and when you meet one of
these confident ones read it to him.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Our SANDER and mud throwing mill will
not be closed soon as expected. The
general impression seems to be that the
session will last two weeks longer. Two
weeks more of Democratic clap trap will
only serve to make the Republican victory
more complete.
THE DEAD LOCK.
The Conference Committee on the legis-
lative appropriation held another meeting
last evening. They seem to be as far from
an agreement as ever. To day the indica
tions are that the committee will agree to
disagree; that the members of the Senate
Committee indicated their ultimatum, and
left it to the members of the House Com
mittee to decide whether they would accept
it or not. 1t is generally believed that Sam
Randall, of the House Committee, is the
great stumbling block in the way of an
agreement, and that were it not for him
the committee would soon agree. AS the
, case stands, it seems almost unnecessary to
appoint new Conference Committee
There is another dead lock ON the
RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
| The Senate reduced it from s., 800, 900 to
So, 900, 600, and the House will not concur
in the reduction. This is the best ilustra-
tion of Democratic economy that has been
presented to the people for some time.
IN TIE SENATE,
yesterday, Mr.. Boutwell, Chairman of the
committee to investigate the Mississippi
election, presented the ma jority report of
the committee. The document, although
dispassiOnate in its tone, is startling in its
revelations. The report is plain narrative
of facts as proved by the evidence taken.
| There is no strainng after dramatic effect,
and yet no law-abiding citizen can read
this statement without being chilled with
horror and amazement. The true inward
ness of Mississippi is laid bare to the
astonished gaze of the American people.
The report lifts the veil higher than it was
ever lifted before, and dscloses scenes
which startle and appall those who are
used to the quiet and peace of law-abiding
communities. The atrocities mentioned in
the report are the fountain head of that
current on which the "gushing" Lamar
| tloated into the United States Senate.
ANOTHER RATIFIC ALTON.
Dr. Mary Walker, and two other female
Democrats, held a meeting at Lincoln Hall,
on last Saturday night, to ratify the nomi-
nation of Tilden and Hendricks. The
meeting was not as large and enthusiastic
as the Doctor expected it to be- most of
those present myself included) having
come out of curiosity to see how the other
sex ratifies. DR.. Mary Walker made a
speech, DR.. Mary Walker offered and
adopted several resolutions amid the cack-
ling of the other two hens above mentioned
and DIR. Mary Walker attempted to take
up collection to defray the expenses,
which had the effect of scattering the audi
ence, there being none present willing to
invest in uncertain stock. l fear Uncle
Sammy" has been bachelor too long to
be benefited by female resolutions.

THE House of Representatives, on Satur-
day last, by vote of JOG yeas to Sc nays,
repealed the act of 1875 providing for the
resumption of specie payment. This is
the entering wedge for reputation, and
unless the Democratic leaders are checked
in their wild, reckless career, our country
will ere long be covered with disgrace that
centuries of atonement will not wipe out.

MOST of our readers have seen the lead
pencils that are hard at one end and soft
at the other. An ingenious manufacturer
of these handy pencils has had them
labelled in this way: Tilden-Demo

hard " end is indicated by "Tilden !"
and the soft, by Hendricks. The joke
is as obvious as the application thereof.

IF you have put your name to note, and
had it promptly discounted, the presump
ton is that you will pay it at maturity.
But the Democrats of the House tell us
that in case you apprehend doubt about
being able to pay, the right thing to do is
to get hold of the note and erase your
name, telling the creditor you will pay it
when you get money that you have no
other use for. That is the plain English
Of the Democratic vote repeating the date
fixed, and solelnnly signed for the begin
ming of specie payments.

CREDIT is given Gov Tilden for advocat-
ing single term for the President. He
does no such thing. He merely expresses
his conviction that no Civil Service reform
will succeed until the Chief Magistrate
is disqualified for reelection by an amend
ment to the Constitution. If Shammy
could be elected at all, he might have three
terms before such an amendm ent could be
perfected You must read Tilden very
carefully, and with view to what he does

say.

IL the House OF Representatives could pre-
vent, q count OF votes far President by re-
fusing TO sit in jointsession with the Senate.
BE answered that he did not like to con-
slider beforehand what should be done when
the provisions OF the Constitution are not
complied with. The question vast, bnng-
ling one, and we don't blame Mr.. EyARTs
for not replying to it. In respect to what
may happen. as 20 the proceeding Of count
ing the votes, there is no, ground OF this
time for expectation ohopinion. We must
know great deal that we donot know be-
fore we can begin to imagine TO ourselves
the course Of proceeding in Congress. fp,gr
4 Congress assemblies on. the first Monday
in December, and surely there will be time
enough before the day for counting Che
votes In Joint session to arrange the order
Of proceeding By conference between the
two houses. AS the state OF the; vote for
President will be known fully, we take it
that thefordcr of proceeding will be settled
and the policy OF parties win be deter
mined upon long before the day of the
count, in joint session. ,,r.g .I,s1uu j
ID We, have no idea that there will be my
refusal on the part of the House to meet
the Senate. What may take place in the
meeting depends altogether upon events
yet undeveloped but the authority in
counting being, as Mr.. TRUMBuLL says, in
vested in Congress-. e., the two houses
we anticipate that the country viii not be
ruined by what happens. ;, 49,,

Can They Afford It?

The Philadelphia Telegraph has sensi-
BILE article complaining Of the conduct OF
Republicans in New Orleans. The 1cle-
graphis Republican paper, and has de-
cided claims to consideration as a liberal
and reasonable party paper. 1t is a little
strange that 1t is 'so-almost as remarkable
as it would be to find a black swan-but it
is so. The, Telegraph concludes its conf
mentS with the following paragraph: -,
Can the Republican candidates afford to
be declared the winners in the great contest
which has Just closed on the strength OF a
canvass made by this same Board sitting in
secret session i? We do not think it can. Can
the representative men OF the Republican
party Who are now in New Orleans afford to
refuse to unite with the Democrats in eXer-
cising a supervision over the doings Of the
Board, or to give their influence to en-
courage the Board in 4 proceeding
that -.discredits in advance its verdict il
that verdict shall be in favor OF the
Republican candidates for the Presi-
dency and Vice-Presidency? We do not
think they can, and If the present doings
and prospective doings in New Orleans do a
lasting injury to the Republican party, the
men who at this critical iuncture are as
Stunning to represent the party will be re-
sponsible for it. 1t is never good policy to
do evil that good may come of it, and it is
thousand times preferable that the Demo-
Gratis shall for the next four years have con-
troll Of the Executive branch OF the Govern
ment than that the Republicans shall con-
tinue to keep control Of it by illegitimate
means, or by means that.there is reasonable
ground for suspecting to be illegitimate.

I It may be as well to state once more that
the Cabinet at Washington can do nothing
to relieve the disabilities Of the disqualified
electors. We repeat this statement because
somebody at Washington almost daily sends
out foolish report rs to what the Cabinet
is doing in respect Of such matters. Whether
the HAYES or the TlLDEN electors be count.
ed in or out in Vermont, or Rhode Island,
or Oregon, the adjudication Of all questions
as to their election and their qualifications
will be in the hands of the Republican SEN
ate and the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington. The sameis OF
course true as to the votes Of South Caro-
lima, Florida, Louisiana, and all the other

Christian and Saracen.

History has shown that there can be no
enduring peace in Europe as long as eleven
millions OF Christians living upon the soil Of
ancient Greece are ruled by four millions of
Turks. There can be no utilization and bro
ther hood between the Christian and the
Saracen. The nations Of Europe owe it to

outbursts of rebellion that springs from the
unnatural condition Of the population in
European Turkey. " :. 49, 49,.
