The snow lies about four feet deep

we have wonderful good start for
winter when the fact is considered
that for number of years past, win

ordinary weather from this on, we will
have splendid season next year.

1876. No Congress would dare to exercise
such power, except upon necessity Of
the most imperative nature; and yet these
gentlemen have In the past exercised IL
whenever II suited their pleasure, without
explanation or apology.
While the public are DESTROYS Of cheap
transportation, 10 is for their interest that
the roads should receive such rates for
their services rs will enable them to pay
proper dividends to their stockholders.
Fixed rates are rs important as low rates.
Constant fluctuations expose the merchant
to frequent loss, though they may bring
him occasional gain.
The interests of railroad stockholders are
of secondary Importance when compared
with the interests of the country at large.
Before the breaking out of the railway
war, the schedule price for hauling 1000
pounds of first-class freight TO Chicago was
$3.50. Now the same service is rendered
for 81. We direct attention toward these
figures without being able to Ak the point
between the two extremes at which losing
rates cease and paying rates commence.
That the work can be done at much less than
$3.50 per 1000 pounds admits of very little
doubt. We have every reason to believe
that any agreement which may finally
be arrived at between GARRETT, SooTT,
and Vanderbilt to fix and maintain
rates on their respective roads will be
both equitable to the public and just as
between themselves. No permanent, du-
rabe peace can be established on any
other basis than equal rates from Chica-
go to the seaboard." Only under this sys-
ten can New York secure her fair share of
Western traffic. All compacts which do
not recognize this cardinal principle will
be but ropes of sand.

Mr.. ConkIing in Error.

Although seriously afflicted by sickness
apparently Of a malarious character, Sem
ator CoNKLING addressed the citizens of
Utica on Tuesday evening with his wonted
vigor of thought and manly directness Of
argument. His address was one of the
most memorable yet presented on the
Republican side of the campaign; and,
while urging every consideration that an
accomplished advocate could present in
behalf OF his own party, it was marked by
a chvalrlc elevation of tone and temper,
and n resolute avoidance OF the personals
ties which have played so large part
with Republican speakers and writers.
Calumny and rancor in public discus
sions," said Mr. CoNKLING, seem out Of
place and out Of time" because, in this
Centennial year especially, " the country
is on exhibition with its methods, its mau-
ners, its ideas, its culture, u standards of
thought, and its attanments in dignity
and reason" And he quotes with earnest
commentator from the speech which
Gov HAYES delivered to his neighbors i'm
mediately after his nomination; There
has been too much bitterness on such oc-
casions in our country. Let us see TO il
that abuse or vtnperation Of the candi-
date named atst. Louis does not proceed
from our lips
In this language the distinguished Seua-
tor expresses his decided condemnation of
the mode In which the canvass has been
conducted by his own party, and es-
pecially by those Republican journals
which from the first have made bitter
aud an ingenious warfare OF personal and
dishonorable accusations against Mr.. TIL
Den. No doubt this condemnation is per-
fectly just when the problem is measured
by the elevated standard which states
man like Mr.. CoNKLING naturally applies
in such questions; and it is certainly COR
rect also when we consider how dsastrously
to the Republican party these attacks have
resulted and how they have only bene-
fitted the party and the candidate whom
they were meant to destroy And yet we
think Mr.. CoNKLING judges rather hastily
whom he so sternly condemns the use of
calumny, rancor, abuse, aud vituperation
as n Republican agency in the present
canvass.
| In his earnest devotion to the party to
which he has given the brilliant services Of
his best years and OF which he undoubtedly
is at this moment the ablest ana most con-
spicuous member, Mr., CoNKMNG naturally
fails to appreciate the fatal and almost
helpless position in which that party Inns
placed itself. The degradation of the Gov
ernmont by GRANT, the conference.-the
completely with winch FISH has served the
| SpanIards in Cuba, the bribery of Bill
kNAP, the frauds OF RoBEsoN, the

corruption which have marked the lis

Mr.. Tilden and the Tweed Ring.

We commend to the attention OF the
public the correspondence which we this
morning publish between Gen. DIX and
Mr.. JouN FOLEY.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. FOLEY
was exceedingly prominent in the move
the overthrow and destruction of TwEEDs
and CoNNoLI.Y's notorious Ring. In fact.
IL was on ms motion that Judge BARNARD
granted the famous injunction which, in
effect, turned CoSSoLLY out of office. Re-
mCmbrriug this circumstance, Gen. DIX
applied to him in an artful and beguiling
manner TO make statements which would
be injurious TO Gov. TILDEN; and, like the
honest man he Is, Mr.. FOLEY replies 10 this
seductive cntreaty with the simple ana
square truth OF the whole matter. 1t is
very interesting reading, and those who
have been representing Mr.. TILDEN as at
any time n friend of TWEED and OF his ras-
calitles will do well to give Mr. FoLEY's
letter a good deal of thoughtful medita-
ton.
The concluding portion Of this letter. in
which the correspondent of the Old Boy in
Blue gives his reasons for supporting Gov.
IMDEN for President. is exceedingly CO.
gent and ought to have n profound effect
upon the mind OF that ancient politician (;
but we fear that in this case he is beyond
the reach of argument.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1876-10-05

tory OF the Republican body from July,
1869, down TO the present day, have
carried their deadly malaria into every
nerve and fibrei and channel of Republic
canism; so that the people, almost as with
one mind, are ready to repudiate aud de-
stroy it. On its own merits the Republic
can party can ask from the country MOTH
ing but speedy execution and instant burial.
Thus 1t happens that those who. like Mr..
CoNKLING, still desire TO keep that party in
power, have TO choose between two forlorn
hopes The first of these Ia to revive the
issues of the war, and after eleven years of
peace to fire its passions once more, and
again fan into flame its terrible hatreds.
The other forlorn hope-and there Is no
third Alternatives to resort to calumny
and rancor, bitterness and personal vitu-
peration. OF the two Mr.. CoNKLING
chooses the former; but we think he falls
into an error when he denounces so earn
estly those who prefer the other course.
We trust no one will mistake us so far
to suppose that we do not detest political
calumny, rancor bitterness, abuse, and
vituperation quite as sincerely and as ear
nestly as the Senator does. We only see, as
he does not, the necessity of employing
those weapons. IL the Republican party ITO
be preserved; aud accordingly we excuse
those Jealous Republicans who, in their
desperation and dire extremity, yield so
far rs to employ them. We believe they
will prove quite rs Intellectual as the more
ferocious and more dangerous alternative
TO which Mr. CoNKLING himself gives the
preference but we may be allowed to in
terpose this word of explanation and
apology in behalf of those Republican
| journals and orators whom the first of
Republican statesmen criticises with such
unqualified severity.

not by the ballot box, which can never
affect constitutional rights when they are
once fixed in the Constitution, but by the
protection and authority OF the Judiciai
tribunals, 1t is sheer misrepresentation
and humbug, for any man to pretend that
the result of this election is to AFFECT in any
way Unconstitutional rights OF the cUlored
people: and il is something worse even
than misrepresentation and humbug for
any man to pretend that any fraud or any
force threatens the ballot box as the
peaceful nstrumentality for maintain
ing constitutional rights, so that the sword
must he drawn to do what the ballot box
fails to do.
And what does Gen. DIX mean by his in
timation that "if" our Southern brethren,
meaning the Southern whites, become
" faithless to the Constitution, either by
open resistance, or by annuling any Of its
amendments by insidous legislation then
we must enforce IL in the same way as
we did fifteen years agoY' Does he mean
to tell the country that he expects what he
calls "open resistance to the Constitu-
ton, rendering necessary another war,
when all over the South there Is the most
sincere submission to the Constitution!
Does he mean to imply the possibility that
any Southern State can "annul" an
amendment Of the Constitution by it's leg
isationy Or, in such an event, or in the
attempt to do such thing, is the sword
the proper aud only remedy For sin
sidious legislation" or any legislation that
state may direct against an amendment
OF the Constitution. the Constitution itself
affords the peaceful remedy in due course
ofjudical proceedings, superseding all me-
cessity for the use OF physical force; and
If Gen. DIX does not know this, he does not
know the first thing about the Constitu-
ton of his country. But he belongs to a
class of public men who prefer the "more
effective agency" TO the peaceful instru-
mentality;" and with them we leave him.

Few men," said Mr.. CoYKLINo in his
Utica speech. "are base and presumptuous
enough to accept party or public trusts in a
representative system, and then, on pretext OF
independence or superiority, to defeat the pur-
pose end conviction Of the constituency which
delegated power to them" This Is the simple
truth. and 1t explodes ut one touch all the non
sense that theorists like CARL SEIZURE have been
talking SO loudly, about a transformation Of the
civil service to be made by Mr.. HAYES against
the will Of bis party and in defiance OF the Iie-
publican leaders by whom be was nominated,
and without whose jealous efforts his defeat
would have been certain at the beginning OF the
canvass.

Now that the Custom House officials have
been required to pay sum averaging about one
fourth Of their last months salary toward the

As returns come In from the Connecticut
town elections, 1t Is evident that the Republican
boast OF gains was unfounded. The Democrats
have more than held their own. and the Demo-
cratic principle OF opposition to sumptuary
laws has been generally sustained. But as town
elections are usually swayed by local differences
and personal friendship toward the candidates,
1t is simply silly to draw any deductions from
them as to the probable result OF a contest in
which tue issues are Of national i'm portance.

Gov. Hayes as a Prevaricator.

One of the worst features in this business
of Gov. HAYES relation to the American

licly charged with having connected him
self with that Know Nothing league he

''No such letter was ever written. The story that

And yet before these notes were written
Gov. HAYES had not only received the
committee of the Alliance which waited
upon him officially to inform him that on
July L. the Alliance adopted him rs its can
didate for President, but on July o. he had
accepted both this nomination and GER
tiicate of honorary membership in the AL
lance which this committee brought him;
and on the 10th of July he caused his pri-
waite secretary, this same ALFRED L. LEE,
to write the following letter to Mr.. L. s.

accepting the nomination of the Alliance,
and becoming an honorary member OF the

he had done any such thing or had ever
expressed such sentiments or endorsed such

This is as bad specimen of political pre-
variation, not 10 say outright lying, rs we
have ever seen; and those believers in
honesty and fair dealing who have hither-
TO been inclined to vote for this man for
President, should reconsider their determi-
nation, in view of this evidence OF his ina
ability to act squarely, and his willing
ness TO ride two horses going in different
directions at the same time.
