Opinions OF the Leading Journals Of the
Country upon the Letters Of the
Democratic Candidates.
Foe as well as Friend Speaks FavOrably,
Especially Of Tilden's Liberal, En-
lightened and Statesman
IKE Views.
An Appeal to Sober Judgment that VIII
Secure Wide Attention and that
Affords Food for Refiecs
.. -F~H tiOn-Etc. a...

We make room for the opinions of
many Of the most able Of the Demo.
cratic, Republican, and Independent
pspeFs, both north and south, touching
the letters Of acceptance of Tilden and
Hendricks. All but one of the Demo-
cratic papers speak favorably OF them,
and nearly all the Independent, and not
few Of the Republican have something
to say indicative of the high degree of
confidence reposed especially in Mr.. Til
den. In Washington, we may add, on
the authority of the New York Tribune,
the letters of acceptance of Govern ors
Tilden and Hendricks have been gene
rally commented on by politicians at the
capital during the past two days. The
length OF the letters is criticized by most
ri the se atoTs and representatives, who
sem 10 forget that they were written
for the voters Of The country, who gene
rally have more time to read than CON-
gressmen during the closing hours OF
busy and protracted session. The fact
cannot be denied, however, that the
letters are accepted with expressions Of
profound satisfaction by the DemOcr is
in congress. The temper Of Governor
Tilden's letter was surprise to many,
and bis statesmRnlike treatment of the
public questions dissrns those Demo-
Gratis who were disposed to sulk over the
st. Louis nominations. The western
Democrats are particularly pleased with
it, and they say it has the ring and snap
abe III it that mean something; that it is
something besides glittering array of
generalities and set phrases; that 1t is
indeed the work of the statesman more
than of the politician. The letter OF
Governor Hendricks is lfss generally
commended, and is looked upon here as
greatly inferior in point of scope and
grasp to Governor Tilden's. Democrats
say it is more like campaign speech
than it should be. The Republicans say
the letters are very strong, as viewed
from Democratic ground.

SARATOGA, August 9.-The fine racing
weather yesterday and Monday brought
together to-day much the largest attend
ance. Soon after eleven O'Clock the gun
signaled for the seniC single-scull race,
and Yates, Union Springs; Ackermap,
Atlanta; Kennedy, Yale, and Riley,
Neptune, responded. a start was effected
at quarter pr 1t eleven o'clock. AZ the
half-mile Riley led, Yates second, Ken
nedy third. kiley was going at thirty
two strokes, which kept him ahead at
the mile turn, with Yates second, Ken
nedy third. At half-mile from home
the order was: Riley, Yates and Ken
nedy, the difference being very small.
Riley, still keeping his thirty-two
Strokes, won in 1920; Kennedy, Sec
ond, 1894; Yatrs gave out. Winning
time last year, 1888.
In the four-oared race the Northwest
ems, Shawaccaemettes Argonautas ard
BeaTery?ycks started. At the half mile
the NoTthwe5terns had slight lead, the
ShawaccaemettC second, the Atslsntss

per minute, Atalantfs second. The
EoTthwesterns turned the stake-boat

WORK FOR COLORED POLITICIANS.
The colored politicians Et,olling ovtr
the country attending public meetings
and devisiDg ways and means to defeat
the Democrats, can be more profitsbly
employed in discu' sing the ways and
means by which their race can be saved
from destruction. The bills of mortality
in all the southern cities tell the same
SD tale. The colored men who have
the Influence to become political leaders,
should direct their talent and influence
to the ameliOration OF their race, which
is dying off with alarming rGpidity. In
Memphis the statistics OF the health
Officers show that, according to popuIa-
ton, there are many more deaths smong
the blacks than the whites. The same
fatality among the negroes is reported at
New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, Au-
gusta, and all the southern towns and
cities. The disparity of deaths among
the whites and blacks at Charleston is as
follows:

Whites

These figures should alarm the c)l0red
people. The evil can be remedied by
the negroes themselves, for in other
days. prior to the war, colored children
wele more robust and healthy than
white children, ard il was one Of the
rarest things for q negro to die OF con-
sumption. Now it is becoming daily q
more prevailing disease, owing to their
expo sure, want Of nutritious food, warm
clothing, and careful supervision of
superior intelligence, to put it mildly.
1t is the experience Of the country, as
well as Of the city physicians, that there
is a. annual increase of consumption,
still.born and other malignant disease s
among the colored people. The report
o. the Charleston health.officers demon
s.rate that there are more white males
who died than females, and more black
females than males; that Of the infants
among the blacks, under one year, there
died four hundred and sixty.six, while
of the whites there were one hundred
and fifty. And, what is remarkable,
"sfter infancy the most mortal
decade to the blacks was
from twenty to thirty, while the
most mortal periods to the whites were
from forty to fifty and sixty to seventy.
These facts make their own comment.
Ed Shaw he's the intelligence to zee and
know that his rare will shsro tha fofa of
the Indian, and finally become extinct,
unless there be change; but what has
he done toward improving their condi-
ton morally or physically? 1.-The would
give the talent and the time he has
wasted for the Radical party, to dis
custom OF some plan by which to pre-
vent this mortality among the blacks, be
would leave to his race a name more
brilliant than he can ever hope to &C.
quire as politician.

Thousand, are camped on the north folk

miles from Fort e OFT, and that great
fears exist among the people Of that Sec

and have an abundance of provisions.
