HAYES AND THE SYRACUSE RE-
FORMEES.

AS George William Curtis at one end
of Harper's Weekly, and Tom Mast at
the other, are already "whooping up"
the Republican masses to the support of
Hays, perhaps the following extracts
Fl ON the resolutions offered by Mr.. Cur
lis at the Syracuse convention, will be
interesting reading:
We shall support no candidate who,
however favorably judged by his nearest
friends, is not publicly known to possess
those qualities of mind and character
which the stern task of genuine reform
requires This is no time for
SO called availability springing from dis
tinction gained on fields ofaction foreign
to the duties of government; nor for that
far more dangerous sort of availability
which consists in this, that the candi-
date be neither so bad as to repel good
citizens, nor so good as to discharge bad
ones. Passive virtue in the highest
place has too often been known to per-
NIT the growth of active vice below. A
man to be intrusted with the Presidency
this year must have deserved not only
the confidence Of honest men, but also
the fear and hatred of thieves.
Hayes is precisely the sort of man the
New York Republicans, through their
leader, declared they could not and
would not support. He is the represen-
tative ofso called availability, he is 'nei-
ther so bad as to repel good citizens, nor
so good as to discourage bad ones;' he is
passive virtue personifed, and while his
negative character may, by hard twist
ing, be 80 presented as to deserve the
confidence of honest men, nobody has
ever accused him of having earned the
fear and hatred of thieves, On the con-
trary, the thieves are unanimously
throwing up their hats and taxing their
pockets in his behalf
Now, if with these indubitable facts
before him, George William Curtis can
use his editorial and personal influence
to elect Hayes, it is difficult to see how
he will be able hereafter to lay any claim
to either consistency or decency. The
Republican party has placed at the head
of its Presidential ticket just the kind of
a political nonenity that Mr.. Curtis and
his friends at Syracuse solemnly declar-
ed they did not want and would not
have. Will they eat their own words by
swallowing HayesP ? Will they take back
all their high sounding professions, with
draw all their petitions and protests, and
sit meekly at the feet of the anti reform
faction? Will they lick the hand that
smote, and endorse the men, the princi-
pies and the practices they have SO often
and so emphatically repudiated? If
they do, then honest people will have
no difficulty or hesitation in pronouncing
them contemplate combination of the
knave ard the fool.-N. Y, Sun.

TILDEN AND Low TAxEs.-Less than
two years ago SamuelJ Tilden was elect
ed Governor of New York. 1t was the
year after the panic. The people felt
poor and they demanded reduction in
the expenses of the State government
The taxes for 1874 were $16,OOO,0OO. The
taxes this year, 1875, are $6,0OO0OO.-
There is no humbug, no sham, no false
pretenses about that. 1t is one of those
solid, substantial facts which touch the
pocket and influence the judgment of
every citizen of every community in the
State, for every man is a tar payer Utica

TILDEN, HENDRICKS AND REFoRM.-The
leading malContents of the party, such as
John Kelley, President of Tammany
Hall, the editors of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, and others, haYe given in their
support to the Democrats nominated at
st. Louis. The two facts that Tilden
had 535 votes out of about $50 delegates,
and Hendricks all the votes but eight, is
proof beyond doubt that they were
wanted by the people, and hence those
who had otter favorites readily yielded
their preferences. The cry must now 60

jim EsTIL1, of Holmes county, tells Ia
reporter at st, Louis, who thinks it worth
telegraphing, that Hayes has lost the en-
tire miners vote by defending the right
of every man to dispose of his own labor
on his own terms. For one vote lost on
this account, though a dozen will be
gained. For, as telegram from Massil-
lon about the great ratification there on
Saturday night, says: "There will be a
large vote polled for Hayes in this coun-
ty this fall, on account of his prompt ac-
ton in quelling the riotous miners."-

WHAT difference would there be if
Hayes would succeed Grant2 The diff
ference would be only in name. The
rings would continue, the operators re-
main substantially the same, the same
officials would continue; in fact, the ma
chine would run in the same old groove,
without any change or alteration. Elect
Tilden and the change would be COM
plete throughout.

THE Republican party began as sec
tional party, 1t was successful as a sec.
tional party, and to-day its only hope for
continued triumph lies in sectional pas,
sion. It is nature to thrive on the hatred
of the people, not on their love; on the
exclusion Of part of the country from ma
tional affairs, not on the participation of
the whole; on the degradation and i'm
poverishment of the South, not on Its
freedom and prosperity.-M. Y. World.

TILDEN's RELIGIoN.-We yesterday re-
Ceived several letters, asking what Gov
ernor Tildens religion is, and we tell our
correspondents and the rest of mankind
that it is the Christian religion; that he
is of the Presbyterian denomination;
and that he has civ en- proof of the sin.
Cerity of his faith by enforcing in the
performance of his official duties that Di-
vine Commandment-1hou shalt not steal.

Cholera i'm New York

The New York "Times" of Saturda,
morning says:
Information reached the Health Depart
mcnt yesterday of the death by cnolera Of
John Hayn, a German laborer, late resi-
dent at No. 339 West Fifty-thlrd street
DR.. j. W. StrOnach, who attended Mr.. Hayp
was asked If he was positive that death had
been caused by cholera. He replied, sYes,
l am certain of it. If. had never seen a
previous case Of Cholera should be sure
that this man died of cholera, because eve-y
symptom laid down in the books was pres
ent. But had seen Cholera frequently,
and pronounce this case of sporadic cho-
iera.' DR.. Stronach was called to attend Mr.
Hayn Wednesday at 8 o'clock in the morning,
Mr.. Hayn was taken sick with vomiting and
diarrhea on Monday. At the time Of the
first call the patient had already passed into
what is known as the algid stage. His ton
que was cold and his extremities were very
cold. He was suffering with cramps in his
toes and fingers, in the calves of his legs and
In his arms. He also complained of pre-
cardial distress and anxiety. He said that
he felt just as if a band had been tied tightly
about him just over his heart. The vomit-
ing stopped upon proper treatment, but the
rice-water discharges peculiar to cholera
continued. Repeated attempts were made
to warm him up. Red pepper, mustard,
hot baths, and hot pricks were constantly
applied, but without effect. His skin was Of
livid hue and yielded to the touch damn
cold sweat. His eyes were sunken and were
excessively dry, having the appearance of
having been exposed to great heat. After
attacks of cramps the patient fell into q
state of apathy, and was Indifferent to every
thing that passed about him anda to what
became of himself. At 10 o'clock Wednes.
day night he fell into state of collapse and
from that time to his death, at II O'Clock
Thursday morning, he was unconscious.

We have received in pamphlet form
the argument of Franklin B. Gowen
President Of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad, in the famous "Mollie Ma
guire" cases at Pettsville, Pa. We have
frequently given the reader in these COL
umns an idea of what the order of "Mollie
Maquires" was, for it is no more, and the
reign of terror its members caused in the
coal fields Of Pennsylvania. The most
valuable coal mines in this section are
owned by the road of which Mr.. Gowen is
President, and to break up this notorious
organization that we speak of, Mr.. Cow.
en-, employed detectives to ferret out the
leaders, and then appeared in court him
self to prosecute the offenders for murder,
which has not been without its effect, as
one has been sentenced to be hung, and
others will beyond doubt receive the same
just sentence. The argument was forci-
BILE, and SO well based upon facts that it
accomplished its purpose, which has made
the coal lregions Of Pennsylvania as safe
a place of residence to-day. as our own law
abiding State.

"For my heart beats loud and fast,
But surely, in the far, far distance,

ut Is only the reapers singing
AS they carry nome their sheaves;
And the evening breeze has risen,
And rustless the dying leaves"
Listen! there are voices talking"
Calmly still she strove to speak,
Yet her voice grew faint and trembling.
And the red flushed in her cheek,
ut is only the children playing
Below, now their work Is done,
And they laugh that their eyes are
dazzled
By the rays of the setting sum-"
Fainter grew her voice, and weaker,
AS with anxious eyes she cried,
"Down the avenue of chestnuts

1T was only the deer that were feed

In herd on the clover-grass,
They were startled, and fled to the
thicket,
AS they saw the reapers pass"
Now the night arose in silence,
Birds lay in their ,eafy nest,
And the deer crouchcd in the forest
And the children were at rest;
There was only sound of weeping
From watchers around q bed,
But rest to a weary spirit,
Peace to the quiet dead!

IT is certainly in very bad taste, if moi
untrue, for Colonel Sturgis to be making
publications that General Custer, acted
cowardly in his fight with Sitting Bull
Evidences Of Clusters bravery; his endear.
ment to the public heart, by answering
fidelity, have fortified him and his memory
against such invidious attacks as these
which have been made by Colonel ..Sturgis,
in moments Of grief over the less Of a son
in the same fight that the gallant Custer
fell. People can readily appreciate the
bereavement of the father in the loss of an
afectionate son, but the utterance of what
is known to be falsehood upon the mem
sry Of gallant officer, cannot make it a
warrant for the attack.
