what now see to have been deliberate plot,
concOcted by certain Republican leaders. even
before the late election. aud since carried out
through the Acknowledgement OF the peoule In

Abolitionist and have voted for every lterubli-

should prefer MIR. Hayes to Mr. Tilden. But my
personal choice seems TO me Of no consequence

danger of defeating the choice Of the nation.

in human being. Mr.. EATON is the orig
nator of the new classification, ana the
Union League club was the scene of its
first propuunding.
Now, we dissent totally from the Eato-
nian classification. The capabilty OF rea-
soning and forming an opinion is peculiar
to the human spccics-to man. A Demo-
crat cannot be a Democrat without reason
ing, and he can't support TrLDEN without
forming an opinion. Therefore Demo-
crat is "A man and not wallowIng hog. II
seems TO us that this cannot I've successfully
cOmbatCd. But, even though he is man,
IL Democrat OF an inferior scale in the
order of human beings to u Republican?
What distinguishes man us superior TO
his fcllowsis greater goodness, stronger and
clearer intellect, so that he speaks and acts
according to the dictates OF reason, not
under the impulse of passion aud preju-
dcc-in fine. docs not fly into rage when
anybody disagrccs with him.
Comparing the Republican speakers at
the Union League Club meeting with the
Democratic speakers, we find that while
what the Democrats said was calm and
reasonable. the remarks of some of the Re
pIblcans were wild and sensclcss. So far
from being wallowing hogs, the Demo-
Gratis behaved like cultivated gentle
men, and gave evidences Of being
amcuablc To reason. Mr. LrpYARD po-
ltcly resented Mr.. EAroN's classification of
him as hog because he supported TILDEN
and kept his temper under Mr.. EAToN's
bulldozing in an admirable way. He felt
- a..
insultcd, and said so. They were us much
members of the club as Mr.. EATON. They
had joined the club under the assurance
that their political principles would not
subject them to IN treatment. They passed
the scrutiny Of the committee on admis-
sious rs 10 their characters, and il wss well
known when they wcre voted for bv the
members that they were Democrats. They
claimed that they had "a right to demand
that they should not be insulted simply be-
cause they disagreed politically with the
majority Their claim was reasonable aud
reasonably made. Really, II there were
any hogs present AT that meeting we are
sure fair men would not pick them out
from among these self-respecting members
so wnntonly u,ultcd. judging them by
their conduct ON this occasion. we cannot
hesitate to put the buldozcd Democrats
Of the Union League Club ahead Of the
hulldo1ng Republicans IN the scale of
being.

This startling question is forced on ne a
this perplcXing period by Mr.. DoRNAN f..
EATON, u lawyer OF thus city, a gentleman
Of voluminous writings on political re-
form, and leading member of the Union
League club. Mr.. EATON, at meeting OF
thl, club last Thursday evening, spoke of
the Democratic party rs "a disgrace rs a
political body ana added that las for
the Democrats, it can only be said that
they are iii 10 compose such a party-mere
animals IA they are, incapable Of human
instincts wallowng in their slough, and
disGraciug the name OF men" Tho occa-
sion Of this violent outburst and eNtraor-
binary classification was the smiles Of some
Democratic members of the club nj an ap-
peal by Mr.. EATON for money to reimburse
ZACH CHANDLER for his contributions to
the Republican electionecring fund.
Now, all men are animals, belonging -
the class OF mammals, and holding the
head of that class, which is the highest of
the order Of the vertebrates. But to call a
man n mere animal is TO liken him TO the
butcs that perish. Therefore, men do

Of life insurance companies he also drew

probably his present income from that
source is large.

Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania
Central roads were taking away his grain
frcights by carrying the grain at lesser
rates than he offered. He saw Baltimore
and Philadelphia, once comparatively in
significant exporters OF the cereals, rapidly
becoming important rivals of Now York in
the grain business; and he forthwith made
his light, put down his rates for freight,
and demanded that they should not be
gagged by the distance tho grain was car
ricd to the seaport. New York gained by
this step, us the increased receipts of grain
here showed, but the railroads suffered by
the cutthroat policy they adopted against
each other.
The truce means that NANDERRiLT has
carried his point, that distance shall not
count in the price of the freight OF grain
so far as grain for export is concerned.
But the public must not be too sure that
this truce will he anything more than u
truce-that ii will be n permanent peace
and that the railroads concerned in it will
continue indefinitely to reap the profits Of
the new and high rates agreed upon. The
weak point Of the ARRANGEMENT is the stip-
ulatiOn that the uniformity of rates estab-
lished shall apply only to grain for export,
not TO grain for use at the terminal cities
the rates for which last are fixed according
to The distance travcfsed. How can this
distinction lie enforced? What is 10 pre-

l. there IIore in The Republican rarty 4,

The Republican party has sunk into
depiorable condition. For many weeks
past it has been openly engaged in con-
summating con-pracy to count HAYES
into the Presidency, coupled with the
avowcd purposc II placing him in the
White House with the bayonets Of the
army. As vet the dissent TO the commits
sion of these great crimes 10y even fiug-
ment of the party. is feeble in the OK
trcme. This amazing fact can only be ac-
counted for by the peculiar quality OF the
clements that compose the party.
First we have the leaders of high and
low degree, the CHANDLEHs, the MoRrONs,
the BLASTS, the kriLoGos, the CHAM
BERLAINs, the SHEPHERDS. and others Of
that type. Tie history Of parties in this
country hardly furnishes their match for
energy. audacltv. aud unspiupulousness.
These mon control the Republican orgau-
izlton, ANA make it virtue TO stick at
nothing to cariy thcl ends.
Than. we have another class that make
ny the bulk OF the party. The old r MEM
b,rs were trained amid the bitter ooutro-
vorsics over the slavery question that rent
in pieces the Administrations of PIERCE
and BrcuANAN. The younger were school
cd amid tie relentless anima-it.es onEen-
dcrtd ly the civil war aud the reconstruct
tion epoch. This class ere largely guided
hv the passions and prcjuaicos of past
conflicts between races ANA socti,us which,
though really at au end, thoy imagine to
he sull raging. They think the success Of
the Democrats in Presidential elect ON
would hc the greatest calamity that could
befau tho country, and therefore they
uphold their leaders in resortiug To any
methods 10 keep TILDEN out of the White
House.
Aud now comes n select corps, numerous
and powerful. drafted from both the o ther

Too Much TWecd.

If one may have too much OF a good
thing, he may certainly have too much
of n bad thing. We incline to the opinion
that the people are somewhat surfeited
with the minute accounts Of the sayings,
doings, feelings, and personal appearance
of the distinguished Ludlow street prs-
oncr." ~ he is called 10y one OF our
contemporaries. DAILY bulletins pro-
TESS TO tell us at what hour the
distinguished pr. oncr rose, ate, took his
exercise. and received his friends. one
day he breakfasted Mt about twenty-five
minutes past ten on picklcd salmon and
bit OF turkey. On this occasion he wore n
mixed suit of clothes, but minus slippers,
his feet being cucased IN q pair Of heavy
boots, which had been laced NJ the toes
with a pcul<nife for purposes OF comfort
and ventilation. 1t Will no doubt be
gratifying to TwrED's numerous friends
TO learn of n "rcsfcd look" in ms
distinguished eyes, after partaking Of
picked salmon and turkey. On an
other occasion we are RECALLED with some
sentimental reflections suggested by n
council of the TWEED family in the un-
fortunate prisoners room" We are told
closed CA this unhappy family no ntru-
sion was venturcd hy any one. and they
were left 20 their own conIolngs and pass
ing joy or pain.'
We LAY tlrrc is too much OF this sort II
bo-h. TWEED is made a hero OF romance.
All the rubbish about the distinguished
prisoner world lead those no. familiar
with Twrrps antccelcn's to think he WAS
victim. or mt least political martyr, IN
some great cause having for its object the
welfare Of the human race.
The people have not quite forgotten
that Twrrp nud his con-orts carried out a
gigantic system OF fraul upon Tie people
of Ncw-NoIk, which resulted IN adding
millions to our municipal debt ana to the
public burdens. Most of the men who as
sisted the Boss in his financial schemes
to rob the city treasury have left
their country for their country's good,
and seek in foreign travel n better sphere
OF usefulness and a large. liberty OF action
than they could hope forat home TWEED,
too, hicd him to softer climcs; but his
iourncvings were OF short durat on, and
he once again accepts the ltispittities Of
the city IN Ludlow street, where uotwith-
standing all tue past, he Is sul rounded with
comforts and allowed very considerable
liberty Of action In \ word, the dlstu-
cuishcd prisoner rises Mt such houras suits
his convenience, breakfasts on whatever
he chooses to order from the caterer who
waits on the tables Of the paying boardcrs
in Ludlow street, is visited by his family
physician aud IN, lcsal advisers, as well as
his friends and relatives, and is the same
old TWEED. Mcautimch he j., husily engaged
with his lawyers IN porfecting the plan he
proposes to pursue in the many pending
! htigations against him.
