OF government which will protect all classes
of citizens in all their political and private
rights. What the South most needs is
peace, and depends upon the supremacy of
law. There can be no enduring peace if
the constitutional rights of any portion of
the people are habitually disregarded A
division Of political parties resting merely
upon distinction of race or upon sectional
lines is always unfortunate, and may be dis
astrous. The welfare of the South, alike
with that of every other part of the coun-
try, depends upon the attraction it can of
fer to labor, to immigration, and to capital,
but laborers will not 90 and capital will not
be ventured where the Constitution and the
laws are set at defiance, and distraction, APP
prehension and alarm take the place OF
peace-loving and law-abiding social life. All
parts ofthe Constitution are sacred and must
be sacredly observed, the parts that are
new no less than the parts that are old
The moral and material prosperity of the
Southern States can be most effectually adj
vanccd by a hearty and generous recogni-
ton Of the rights of all by ala recogni-
tion without reserve or exception. With
such recognition fully accorded it will be
practicable to promote, by the influence oi
all legitimate agencies of the General Gov,
ernment, the effort of the people of those
States to obtain for themselves the bless
ings Of honest and capable local govern
ment. If elected, [ shall consider it not
only my duty, but it will be my ardent de-
sire to labor for the attainment Of this end
Let me assure my countrymen Of the
Southern States that if | shall be charged
with the duty Of organizing an admins
tration, it will be one which will regarc
and cherish their true intcrests-the inter
ests of the white and Of the colored people
both and equally y-and which willput fortl
its best efforts in behalf of civil policy
which will wipe out forever the distinction
between North and South in our common
country. With a civil-service organized
upon a system which will secure purity, ex
perience, efficiency, and economy a stric
regard for the public welfare solely in ap
pointment, and the speedy, thorough, anC
unsparing prosecution and punishment O
all public officers who betray official trust
with sound currency, with education un
sectarian and free to all, with simplicit,
and frugality in public and private affairs
and with a fraternal spirit of harmony per
vading the people of all sections and clas
ses, we may reasonably hope that the Sc
cond century of our existence as q natioI
will, by the blessing of God, be pre-eminen
as an era of good feeling and a period G
progress, prosperity and happiness.

Tricky and Selfish.

The Troy Times says "Thc chief
mental characteristics of Mr.. Tilden are
cunning and an ardent devotion to his own
personal interests. He is clear-headed,
cool, sagacious, and preserving in the pur-
suit Of his objects, and perfectly unscrupu-
lous as to the means he EN- ploys For
years he worked in close relations with
Tweed and the other robbers connected
with the Metropolitan ring, in the prose-
cution Of political ends, and the good
understanding between them was broken
only after the exposures made through the
columns Of the New York Times rendered
further intercourse with the gang danger
Gus to Mr.: Tilden's further prospects.
The latter then remorselessly turned upon
his old friends-of whose rascalities he
could not have been ignorant, and aided in
bounding them down. Upon this exhibi-
ton of treachcry he has since based
claim to be regarded as 'reformer' Pre-
vious to his nomination for governor he
had also been in close communication with
the leading members of what was known
as the canal ring. Some of them, however,
had the temerity to oppose his nomination,
and IN consequence, immediatel y after he
came In power at Albany he opened war
upon those who stood most prominently in
his way, concerning the details of which
the public is already pretty thoroughly in
formed. And this piece Of revenge, also,
he seeks to use for the purpose of main
tanning his claims as a champion of reform
But from all that he has done it is impos-
| sible to discover that the people have de-
rived appreciable benefit. He was moved
by vindictive desire to punish those who
had obstructed his way to preferment, but
of course he was not unwilling to derive
such incidental benefit from the perform
ance as could be made available. His zeal
for reform, is palpable sham, pretense
so thin that it is a wonder anybody can be
deceived by it. But he does enjoy get
ting even with those who offend him, and
Democrats who have resisted his nominal
ton for the presidency will find, in the
rather improbable event of his election,
that he has neither forgotten nor forgiven
| them"

Alphabet Of Proverbs.

A grain of prodence is worth pound of
craft
Boosters are cousins to liars.
Confession of faalt makes half amends
Denying a fault doubles it.
Envy shooteth at others and woundeth
herself
Foolish fear doubles danger.
God reaches us good things by our own
hands.
He has hard work who has nothing to
do.
1t costs more to revengue wrongs than
to bear them.
Knavery is the worst trade.
Learning makes man fit company for
himself
Modesty is a guard to virtue.
Not to hear conscience is the way to ST.
lence it.
One hour to-day is worth two to-mor-
row.
Proud looks make foul work in fair faces.
Quiet conscience gives quiet sleep.
Richest is he that wants least.
Small faults indulged are little thieves.
The boughs that bear most hang lowest.
Upright walking is sure walking.
Virtue and happiness are near kin.
Wise men make more opportunities than
they find.
You never lose by doing good turn.

advice to housekeepers whose carpets are
