the Republicans think it

When the Republicans think it
necessary to impugn the credit of the
Government to help along the canvass
for Hayes, their straits must be des-
perate indeed. Their attempt to
make out that the prospect of Tilden's
election was hurting the sale Of our
bonds in Europe is a total failure.
While the bonds of England and
Russia declined, in the one case near
ly two per cent, and in the other
twenty per cent, our bonds fell in
London only a fraction of one per
cent. during the war excitement. Mr..
Tilden's election will soon strengthen
our securities in all markets, and as
Mr.. August Belmont says, 1--WE who
are the bcndholders can pay them cas-
Ter and bear the burden better under
the great financial wisdom of Mr.. Til
den than the inexperience of Mr..
Hayes.

resumption will not be difficult. Mr..
Hayes presents no plan on the subject

promise of Lis party that they intend

lead to revolution. Secession was
settled by the war, and the tendency
has since been to Capitalization till it
has attained alarming proportions.
The longest stride yet taken in this d.
rectlon is the recent order of the At
torney General, sanctioned by the
President and the most ardent sup
porters Of MIR. Hayes, placing the
army and navy aud the entire male
Of the United States, over
Is years OF age, under the command
of the United States Marshals, solely
for the purpose of controlling an cleo
ton, which is as purely local, as to the
qualifications and rights Of the voter,
as that of school district. This I'M
warranted assumption of power has
no parallel in our history, and if it is
fair sample of the reformation prom
ised by Mr.. Hayes, the less we have
of it the better.

Presidential election one week
from next Tuesday. Then it will be
decided whether this nation lives as a
fee republic, or as corrupt military
despotism, under the same arrange
ments as it has for the last eight years
or more. The election of Tilden and
Hendricks, the Reform candidates,
will prevent this result. Remember
this fact and work tor their election,
all true patriotic Democratic lovers of
the country's present and future well
fare. Every vote cast for Hayes and
Wheeler, is a vote to sustain Grant
ism in all of its manifold wickedness
and corruption.

they will have enough to do to pre-

POST THE BOOKS.

The results of the recent elections
enable us to determine with reasona.
BILE accuracy how the great question
will be decided in November. In
that contest, as our readers will re-
member, the whole number Of electors
to be chosen is 1863, and the candidate
who gets as many as lS5 of these will
be elected. Here is the record as it
stands since Tue sday:

The plain people of the country,
as Mr.. Lincoln used to call them, are,
on the average, very level-headed
set. They are not easily humbugged,
and they usually know what their true
political interests are. This fact sug
gests that, in spite Of the roaring Of
Republican orators, they will cast
their votes next month for TlLDEN,
ECONOMY, reform, AND TIE PAcIFICA--
TON OF THE SOUTH, foreseeing that
by so doing they will hasten the pros
perity for which they are all Sc eager
ly waiting.

that had come to w ashington to ask Con-
gress to change the terms of my grant for

be secured. I have come for no such pur-
pose, anu have no snch favor to ask OF the
government. The latest dispatches from
the work continue to be of the most cheer

be one year old before the channel over the

the Mississippi, although it was only half

it at the sole risk of myself and associates.
