When Tarbox, defeated, chagrined and dis
| graced, sank into his chair. yesterday, the
| leader of the Democratic House exclaimed
=" Well, if our folks are fools enough to keep
dickering about that threshing machine from
Maine they must suffer the consequences. For
my part, 1 don't want any of it in mine" -,
Mr.. Blaine retained and defended his private
right to his private correspondence. Mr.. Tar
box attempted to criticise his conduct in this
respect as improper, but forgot to emphasize
his structures by citing his own act of surrep-
titiously obtaining and making use of a copy
of an undelivered and unpublished speech of
Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Tarbox was Fryed in conse-
quence-done brown. ...
You rascal, Blaine what do you mean
To catch us rebels with a seine ?
From muddy water draw us out,
And leave us nd'ring all about? ~
On the dry sand to let US diet e ...
In the hot sun our carcass fry?
We pray you now don't put us in -..
The old cesspoOl where we've been -..
Where nevis and blind worms are q crawling
And we old rebs have been q squalling. .'.
And now we tell you, plain and fiat, .r
Ifyou will only just not do that,
Ane ne'er more try old Blaine to bag.
The stubenyille, Ohio, Gazette took the
IS. so sent to it for publishing the Tilden puffs
which were enclosed in patent medicine cir
culsr. 1t made the following pert remarks
concerning the matter " We know of no man
in this country whom we would rather receive
money from in this manner than from Samuel
J. Tilden, the man who so shamelessly be-
trayed the Democrats of Ohio last year, and
we have no compunctions of conscience for SO
doing, although we shall continue to combat
him wish the same vigor as heretofore"
The New York journals have fallen into q
prophetic mood that is very funny, although
remarkably inconsistent. They claim that
Blaine will get at Cincinnati PSI votes, that
he will get 100 votes, that he will get 81 votesl
We also learn that Mr.. Bristow will get 800
votee, that he will get 109 votes, that he will
get vote We are also informed that Mr..
Conkling will get 257 votes, that he will get
100 votes, that he will get n votes. As soon
as the fool killer finishes his engagement in
the Louisville Courier Journals office he will
find employment waiting for him at the Man
haitian metropolis.
Many of the enemies of Senator Morton are
his health, endeavoring to give the impression
that lie is feeble, and would be unable to dis
charge the duties of Chief Magistrate. The
following letter will annihilate all these non-
senscal stories, and put the public right re-
specting the physical condition of the great
war Governor and master statesman ofIndiana:
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 5, 1875.
DEAR SIR In reply to your letter, making
inquiry as to the health of Senator Morton,
answer that have been the medical adviser,
for himself and family, for about nine years,
while in Washington during the sessions of
Congress. His general health is entirely good,
and his prospects for long life are equal to
those of any other man of his years in my ac-
quaintance. While he is still lame, his i'm
proyement in the last two years has been very
great, and his vital functions are wholly i'm
proved. AS q frequent visitor of himself and
family, sometimes professionally and others
socially, and with a varied but intimate ac-
quaintance with members Of Congress and
men In Office during the past fifteen years, I
giveit as nv opinion that Senator Morton has
performed more labor, and with less apparent
fatigue, than any man know of in public life.
Very truly, yours, D. W. Bliss, NJ. D.
ChGS. T. H. Allen, esq.
The most important question of the coming
contest is, "Shall the country be placed under
the control OF the SOutn! IL is an unuenla-
BILE fact that q Democratic victory means
Southern predominance 10 national affairs.
This matter has been clearly evinced during
the present Congress. The Northern dough-
faces there have been controlled by the
Southern element. The same spirit pervades
the House as was so notorious in the few
years preceding the war. Southerners believe
themselves born to rule, and with this con-
victiou they will force their Northern allies
into recognition of their supremacy. Can
the loyal people of the land afford this
Shall they relinqutsh the results of a great
civil war and give to the inaugurators of that
war the priceless laurels and sovereign power
they have won? The people are far too wise
to commit such inexcussble folly. They feel
too keenly what 1t has cost to succeed, and
will not willingly sacrifice that success to the
wild cries of corruption and grandiloquent
exhibit of sham reform. The North and West
saved the Union, and i, them alone resides
the right to administer the affairs of the Ma
tional Government for many years to come.
