SOUTHERN CLAIMS.

We have assurances that in several
places in this County the Democratic
leaders are not only in favor of paying
the Southern claims, out are quietly
and earnestly advocating the matter
among their friends and those whom
they believe weak in the Republican
faith. They play the sympathetic
dodge, and say "you know the South
ern people lost all they had in the war,
and are in destitute condition. If
the government helps them it will only
be an act of charity, and then it will
not add anything to any body's taxes,
because the Government will pay it
oat of its revenues, and no one will
feel it," They are thus insidiously at
work, sowing the seed and yet they
endeavor to convince the public
through their papers and through Til
denis letter that they are not in favor
of paying rebel claims.

INDIGNANT, BUT NOT VLRTU0US
The Courier of this week manifests
an unusual amount of indignation (vir-
tuous Indignation We were about TO say
but even courtesy will hardly admit it)
over our remarks of last week about
the action of the Grand Jury in the
case of Mr.. Rothchild. That was 10 be
expected, of course, however ridiculous
its assumptions, and will neither change
the fact of the case, nor mitigate the
thorough contempt in which the action
is held by every respectable Democrat
and Republican in the community, es-
pecially as the fact is known and un-
derstood, that when fire of the original
panel were excused, their places were
filled by just enough Democrats to give
the required number of votes to indict
The effort of the Courier to make
our remarks apply to the Clerk of the
Court, who is a Republican, are too
weak and silly to be urged by a respec-
table journalist. We have no fault to
find with the original panel, which the
Courier would intimate was the one
under which the indictment was found,
(for it ignored the fact that five of the
drawn number were excused but find
fault with its subsequent make up,
with which the Clerk of the Court had
nothing to do. When those five were
excused, D. d. McCahan, II. Rudisell,
David Bibler, and Hugh Fellers were
substituted. Three of these we've Dem
ocrats, and usually found about the
Court House.
The COurier'S efforts to iInplicate the
Republicans on the Grand Jury in per-
Jury, because the result of their ballot
became known, is equally weak and
foolish. It needed no one to djU,;lge
the secret Of the Jury Room, in order
to show who voted for and against the
Indictment, and it is surprising that
men who claim to be intelligent, and
leaders and instructors Of their party,
should be led into such statements. 1t
was a. simple question in arithmetic.
Let US simplify the operation so the
Courier will understand it. The origi-
aal number drawn was 16; 5 were ex
cused leaving IL; were added by the
Sheriff, making Is. 1t required II to
indict-and the remainder was 3. An
examination OF the names was sufti-
cient to show there were IL Democrats
and 8 Republicans on the Jury. 1t
was simple deduction of our own.
That it was a correct deduction is evi
dent from the fact that the Courier
does not dispute it, and its effort to
throw dirt on the three Republican
jurymen is purely gratuitous. We
might to this charge retort that we
have evidence that one of the Demo
cratic Grand Jurymen, a. least, reveal
ed the result, and found excuse for
himself in the fact that ''the thing had
leaked out"
The only redeening trait there Is
in the Courier's article is the frank
confession:
We are no advocate of the Grand
Jury system, and would like to see it
''There is hope of tree if it be cut
that it will sprout again" and SO there
is hope Gndelinate, of course that the
editor of the Courier will yet find
courage to denounce fiagrant abuses.
Hancock county is not the only one
where grand Juries have been made
the vehicles for advancing party inter
ests.

THATQLDHAG

The Courier last week published the
Courier Journals roorback that Hayes
was to be withdrawn and Grant sub,
stituted. The honesty of a newspaper
which publishes such things with a
view of convincing its readers of their
truth may well be questioned. Hayes
is as good as elected, and Tilden bas
already made his aaste-nortum confes-
sion.

''DRowNING men catch at straws, !"
and fhe letter of Tilden's is the drown
ing mans last struggle before sinking
beneath the waves of public sentiment.
The character of the ''Solid South" is
too well known to allow of hope that

the main power in electing him. Hon.

a SECRET CIRCULAR

The letter of TiIden was confession
of weakness in New York, that was
almost pitiable, and the Secret Circu,
lar of John II. Thompson, the Chairman
of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, urging. their newspapers to
''exult" over Ohio, and ''claim it with
confidence" to be ''earnest in this
matter, &c. ;" is corroborative evidence,
and that they have now turned their
guns upon Ohio, in a forlorn hope of
wrestling it from Hayes. OF course
the Courier will ''exult' and ''be in
earnest" this week, and crow and
caekle and otherwise put in practice
the "Chinese gong" system of carrying
conviction to its friends and terror to
its enemies" Their meeting on Mon
day night was not much of an "exult,"
however, although they fell down and
worshipped Ashley, who used to he
forbidden fruit to them. But here is

Tildea was disloyal during the war,
and never relented until the rebellion
ended; he was an associate of Tweed,
and only dared to speak when, three
months after the exposure, the vouch-

was in favor of specie payments until
he found it better policy to say that
fixing the date for specie payments was
a delusion and a snare, he was in favor

found that the robbers would serve
