Who knows what the future viii be, if
the triekster, Sam Tilden, should be elect
ed? Is any one reposing confidence in his
financial or other policy? Does any one
even know what his financial policy is?-
That he is secession and southern in his
principles and preferences, is clear to ev-
cry one. How then, are the interests Of
the North and South TO be harmonized so
as to secure the best good and prosperity
Of the whole? Can anybody define? Are
we not, then, to be kept afioat in all that
uncertainty which has impeded and block
ed the avenues Of trade, thrown doubt and
uncertainty upon the business of the cour-
try, and brought stagnation and idleness,
and consequent suffering upon the labor
ing poor? Can we hope for any change in
this state Of things in the absence of poll
ey' and where the only purpose is success
IN lhe election, and control Of affairs, by
circumstances, as they shall be pressed up
on the government in the progress of time?
With Hayes, we have defined policy. and
an assurance Of steadiness and uniform
purpose.
Let no one, therefore, be deceived. That
the policy Of Tilden's -selfshness, du-
plicity and plunder-wiI be changed,
merely because the field shall be widened,
and the facilities become comparatively un-
limited. Let US snub our party prefer
enees, and look calmly at the situation,
and cast our vote as conscience. and calm
judgment shall dictate.

Tilden's prospective majority in New
York is rapidly melting under the process
of purging the registration lists, that is
going on in New York and Brooklyn. All
the Republicans of the Empire Stale ask
IS an honest vote.
They tell US that all those armed bands
OF marauders and assassins going about in
the State of South Carolina, breathing
threatenings and slaughter against both
white and black Republicans, have all dis
banded, and all is lovely and orderly, and
they are obsequiously urging their hospi-
tality upon the officers and soldiers arriy-
ing among them. The thing begins to look
like business, and they are sharp enoagh
to see that they have got no old dolt Of a
Buchanan to fool with, as in 1861.
There is some comfort in the fact that
some of our railroad companies are not
disposed to look upon Sam Tilden as a
friend to railroads any more than a Bahia
ma wrecker or Banagat pirate can be look
ed upon as friend of the maratime inter-
ests. Railroad officials and many of the
employees will give the railroad wrecker
I'LL over the left. The Pennsylvania com
pany, and one or two other companies run
ming into Pittsburgh, we are told. are off,
cered with outspoken Republicans, and Mrs
Tom Scott is one Ct the chiefest.

Seventy-fiye thousand Democratic ma
jOrity in Georgia insures a heavier vote for
Hayes and Wheeler in the North and West.
The people of the country have no idea of
trusting with the management Of the Ma
tional Government ''solid South, secur-
ed in the way it is. and arrayed against the
Union. When there is an unembarrassed,
free, honest ballot in the South, when all
who are entitled to vote under the Consti-
tuition of their country are permitted to
express their honest opinions at the ballot
box without fear of molestation in their
persons or business, then, and n0t until
then, will the time have arrived for anoth-
er party than the Republican to be trusted.
Those unhappy people who did not sub
scribe for Centennial stock, and who have
been miserable over the fear Of a financial
failure, may be comforted. The Exhibi-
ton is the greatest success, financially as
well as in all other ways. All debts are
paid. The current daily expences ere paid.
And big balance is piIing up in a bank to
pay stockholders, perhaps not less than 50
or 60 per centum of their subscriptions.
And all this in spite"of frightfully hot
summer. Philadelphia must be pardoned
if she INDUCES in little self-congratulation
over results like these, which come from the
good, honest management of the Centenni-
al authorities and from the patriotic enthu-
siasm Of her people.

It's not in South Carolina alone that the
freedmen are trembling under their present
Affections and shuddering over the posi-
bility Of those which may come The Ra-
leigh, IN. c. Constitution says:
"We learn that the colored people of the
city of Raleigh are praying to God to avert
the wrath that will fall upon them in the
event OF the election of Tilden and Vance.
These poor colored people are very grateful
to god for the freedom they have enjoyed
in this State, to greater or less degree.
for the last eleven years; but they are fear
full, from the signs of the times, that they
may loose this freedom, even as their race
has lost it in nearly all the States south of
u.s."
Nor are their apprehensions without
cause, as the Constitution goes on to say:
''Yain is the help of man. John W.
Stephens, no doubt, prayed to men-to
the cruel Ku-Klux, who had the rope
around his neck, and the knife drawn to
plunge into his heart-hut the poor man
prayed in vain. They killed him, these
Democratic, Ku-KluX did, because he was
a Republican and friend to the colored
people. Poor old Wyatt Outlaw, an I'M
offending mulatto, no doubt, prayed pite-
ously to those masked Ku-Klux who took
him out of his house at midnight, put a
rope around his neck, and hanged him in
the Courthouse yard at Graham. 1t is said
his aged mother and his little boy clung to
him, and prayed the men that they would
spare his life, but they prayed in vain.
They hung him on tree near the temple
of justice. and the Christian people of Gra
ham passed his body on their way to and
from church the next day, and did not
dare to take him down. They killed him,
these Democratic Ku-Klux did, because he
was Republican, and had presumed to ac-
cept civil Office at the hands of the State
Government.
But space would fail us to tell of all
the murders, assassinations, and whippings
by the Democratic Ku-Klux in this State
during the years 1868, 1869 and 1870. All
these people, men and women, thus mur-
dered, or whipped, or cursed, Or threaten
ed, or cowed out of their privileges as
citizens, no doubt prayed to their enemies
to spare them, but they might as well ap-
pealed to the wind or stars. The Dens
had ordered, it and the work was done"
Such is the Condition of things in the
old North State, the least rebelliously dis
posed commonwealth in the South. Ter
rorism is the Democratic weapon in the
present campaign. What may pc expected |
after Democratic triumph?

The game of bluff, it is known, is a ca.a-
paign tactic, but We have never known
that it was lesson imposed by the leaders
of party, as it seems to be with the Dem
ocrats of this State. Mr. John G. Thomp-
son makes it a part of his instructions by
circular to the tools of his party. The fol-
lowing is fine specimen of the kind. Ii
came into Republican hands by being sent
to defunct Democratic organ, and thus
fell into other hands. 1t was addressed to
the editor of the Democrat, Bowling Green,
Ohio.
DEAR SfR:-National success is assured.
There is no event in the future more prob
able than the election of Tilden and Hen
dricks. The feeling in the State is intensi-
tying, and if our friends will do their duty
we Will wheel Ohio into line. Weare claim
ing the State for November. In your pa
per, from this until the seventh 9th prox-
imo, claim the National contest and this
State also. Be earnest in this matter. Do
it exultingly and with the utmost conf
dence. Don't be LukeGarnI in this. but fer
cent. The Republicans are greatly alarm
ed. They feel that the fight is gone. They
are dropping. Keep them there. Press the
advantage which the situation assures.
There is much to be gained by this course.
Demand the polling Of every vote, that our
victory may be overwhelming and last
through years. Claim the State with conf
dence. Do it with such confidence as to
carry conviction to our friends and terror
to our enemies. Hold meetings everywhere
in your county. Exult at your meetings.
and press each one to go forward with an
assurance of victory.

Before indicating his views in reference
to the naturalization Of the disloyalists Of
the Southern States for losses and dam
ages sustained by them during the war, it
was prudent that -Tilden should have an
understanding with Southern leaders, so
that the published letter would DO him no
harm, and that their confidence in his win
ingness to obey their behests would not be

Another evidence that ''there is a God in
Israeli is given us by South Carolina. Her
White Liners, Rifle Clubs, and other murt
derous assassins, inaugurated their work
with wonderful efficacy and promise of sue
cess. The butcheries that had been COM
mitted, and their presence riding about the
State, had so subdued and cowed Republi-
can voters, that a 'Fsolid South" seemed
so far as this State was coneerned-inevi-
table. Everything was right and worked
to charm. The raising of Uncle Sans
dander had not been taken into account.
They had not foreseen the provoking of an
order for the movement of few troops
down in that direction, and the consequent
protection of every man in the State, in
the enjoyment and free exercise Of the righ-
of suffrage. Grief and disappointment
went to the heart Of every "solid South"
friend of Tilden. Instead of riding
to and fro over. the State, and carrying
fear and trembling to every cabin-the
shelter of a Republican voter-they have
become as quiet as sucking doves, and as
obsequious as so many spaniels. They have
been taken in their own craftiness.

The plan of the Tilden campaign is very
simple. It is to carry the South solid and
to that vote add the electoral vote of New
York and Indiana. This will give enough
votes to elect. The extreme nervousness
of the Democracy about carrying South
Carolina shows how necessary the vote of
that State is to the success of their plan.
The way to checlmate this movement is to
break the solid phalanx of Southern States,
and wrest from them one Of the two large
Northern States upon whose vote their
hopes depend. For the Republicans to
carry either North or South Carolina, with
New York or Indiana, defeats the Tilden
plan and elects Hayes. Here, then, is
hint to the Republicans to bend their en-
ergies to carry each one of these four
States. Their electoral votes decide the
contest.
Tilden, propelled by reform principles,
could not abide the slow progress of Con-
gress to tighten and relieve the income
taxes of the dear people, but began it with
himself in a private, modest sort of a way.

A roof may be covered with a very cheap

made to last from % to % years. Old roofs
can be patched and coated, looking much
better, and lasting longer than new shingles
without the slate, for
One Third The Cost Of Reshingling.
The expense of stating new shingles is only
the cost of simply laying them. The paint is
Fre proof against sparks or flying embers, as
may be easily testedby any one.
IT STOPS EVERY LEAK,

by heat, contracts by cold, and neUer cracks

EXTREMELY CHEAP.
Two gallons will cover n hundred souare
