Happily the radicals have at last abardoned'

their Own schemes, and. though for the same

RErRENCHmENr AND BUSINESS

Economy in the government means
profit to the citizen. SO long as it
takes all surplus earnings % pay taxes,
the farmer, manufacturer and mer-
chant must grow poor. Even the COM
paratively small retrenchment already
effected has plainly a favorable effe ct
on the business outlook, not so much
from the amount of the reduction all
ready accomplished as because it
pledges the government to continued
cutting down of expenditures and tax
alton. The people will this year vote
for party which seems the most sim
cere in promises of ratrenchment, re-
union and reform, and will bear in
mind that sincere and final reunion is
essential to retrenchment. Senti-
mental and general politics have
this year ali unusually intimate con-
nection with economy, for one of
the greatest causes of expenditure is
the keeping of garrisons in the South,
and the existence or apprehension of
danger there. When the South is
once believed by oil men to be heartily
and finally in the Union, as much so
as Massachusetts or Illinois, one of the
greatest excuses for extravaganza will
have disappeared. Anything that
tends to provoke disturbance in any
section. or keep alive any fear of it, is
fatal to retrenchment.
Reunion and retrenchment go hand
in hand. If this election should result
in extinguishing the last embers of the
bitterness of the war, the consequent
blessings would be exhibited as much
in the substantia financial prosperity
of the people as in the moral glory of
the nation.

TTEE RIGHT SORT OFTAIA.

Hon. A. s, Hewitt, member of Con
gress from New York in an address
before Democratic club in that city
on Tuesday evening last said:
' Let me say right here that we can
elect the next President if we. get
unanimous consent, (Applause.) The
unanimous consent we need is the
united vote of the Democrats of this
city. If any man stands in the way of
that united vote ride him down.
tGreat opplause.) / don't care what
his name IS or what service he may
have rendered to the party, if in this
Juncture of affairs he stands in the
way Of complete union of the party,
crush him, blot his name from the roll
of honor, and never let him be heard
of again. (Applause.)'
And that is the way to talk. Let there
be no temporizing, no compromising
and no shuffiing. No man can make
good his claim to being q good Demo-
crat who runs as all independant cam
didate. Those who are not with us
are against us. The organization and
discipline of the party must be per-
fected and maintained to the end. No
man may pick blackberries on both
sides of the fence this season. Inde-
pendant candidates, candidates in op-
position to the expressed voice of the
party, n ust step down and out at once, or
be numbered with the enemy. Men may
say they are good Democrats but actions
speak louder than words and when
they unite with Radicals to break down
the Democratic party by defeating it's
regularly nominated candidates, no
matter how much devotion they may
express for Democratic principles, their
actions belle their words. One of the
first principles of Democracy is to
Support the nominees. Independent
means the same the world
over. It means the combination of a
few sore heads..in the candidates, own
party with the entire force of the ene-
my. Can you trust man either in
war or politics who trades with the
MIR. Hewitt is right. Those
traders and trafficers in the enemies
ines must be crushed. The salvation
of the party and the success of the
cause demand it and demand it now.

THE BOOMERANG ORDER.

The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Post writes: "Secretary
Cameron's order to Gen. Sherman is
receiving universal condemnation here
from Democrats and Republicans
alike. The Western Republicans are
very much troubled and vexed about
it. They say the bloody shirt busi-
ness is played out in the West, and
this order will lose the Republicans
more votes in Indiana and Ohio than
it can possibly gain in the South. A
prominent Western Republican SEN
ator declared to-day that the order
would prove a boomerang and react
upon their party"
This view is corroborated by the
correspondent of the Springfield Re-
publican as follows: "Secretary Cam
eron's order to General Sherman is
receiving much comment here. mostly
adverse. Some prominent Western
have declared tos day
that it will lose the party more votes
at the North than it will gain in the
South, and will have bad influence
on the October States. I"

The next three State elections are in
Vermont, California an Maine, the
5th, 9th and 11th of September, re ,
spectively, in the order named. Yer
mont, which comes first in that
month. will go Republican. The cleo
.lon next day following in California
is of Importance as significant of the
feeling of the whole Pacific slope.
The parties are pretty equally
divided. each claiming a majority;
and both will struggle earnestly for
success. The Chinese labor question
will enter largely into the State cam
vass and may have more influence
than national politics in determining
the result. So far as platform profess
sions go, the Democratic policy seems
to have the call with the Pacific State
people. Maine is, of course, Repubh-
can, but it will be interesting to note
the effect upon the Republican major
ity by reason of the defeat of Blaine.

We regret to learn that a serious
strike has begun among the laborers
on the rice plantations along the Com
bahee in South Carolina, the strikers
taking advantage of the harvest sea-
son to demand an advance of fifty per
cent. in wages. Many of the hands
are willing and anxious to work at the
present rate, but the strikers are WIS.,
iting each plantation and forcing the
working hands, by whipping and other
violence, to join them. The situation
is critical, as the crop must be har-
vested within few days or be total
loss. Governor Chamberlain has tele-
graphed the sheriff of Beaufort to
summon strong posse and protect at
all hazards the laborers who wish to
work. ...

BHLLR,S- HORN.
THE LAST ovERl SMITH DESERTS sETTLEl
BLOW YOUR HORN, BILLY DESERTS
HIS LEADERl . ..ss. ...-.-..ss -a.E
For ways that are very dark and for
tricks that are very vain, .'Bill Smith" !"
the Radical candidate for. Lieutenant
Governor. is somewhat peculiar. He
has held a hand in many game
political and otherwise. and has gen
orally held his own. and they do say,
other peoples to, especially IN the
matter of the lease OF the North Caro-
lima Railroad to a Virginia corpora
ton. At any rate. Billy refused to tell
what he knew abont the matter. III
violation of every rule of the game
that requires a man, when ''callea. to
show his hand or give up the stakes.
But there is another little game that
Billy knows nothing about, tie gnme
that is called "Follow your leader
The fact is, he does not believe very
much in following any way. He Itas.
we suspect, heard that the devil takes
the hindmost. and, having a horror OF
his Satanic Majesty, very naturally
prefers to. go ahead.
However this may he, the latest iu-
teIligence from Billy in the mountains
is that he has deserted Settle and
Hayes and has declared his purpose to
vote for Tilden and Vance and for
himself, we presume.
We state this upon the authority of
the Asheville Citizen. To say that
we are surprised at such a course ON
the part of Smith would be untrue,
for nothing that individual could pos
sibly do would surprise us; certainly
nothing tn at he could do in the way of
advancing his own interests. Billy's
idea seems to be to bring about the
election of a split ticket, Vance for
Governor and himself for Lieutenant
Governor. He is doubtless fully ca
patIe of sacrificing both his party and
it's leader, but this thing is just 4. trifie
beyond his reach. The Democratic
party is able to elect both Vance and
Jarvis by handsome maj ority, and 10
thanks to Billy Smith either.
The Citizen says
"Billy Smith told Mr.. Alexander, of
this county, the other day that Settle
would not be elected; that he (Smith)
would vote for Vance and Tilden.' lie
admitted that there was no chance for
Settle, and that all he was working
for was to get Vance and himself
elected"
But it is not Settle alone that Billy
has gone back on. lie has gone back
the ''culled pusson" also. In fact he
has gone back on his whole party
pretty well except himself. for sub
tract the culled pusson and Settle from
the Radical party and naught remains
but Billy Smith and few other scat
tering heroes. Settle can't be elected
aud O. lara has bad SAVIOR in Billy's
nostrilA. We are not surprised that
he is ready to leave the camp. and he
is hard man to hold i'll camp when
he doesn't wish to stay. There's fun
ahead.
The Citizen says, and we take pleas
ure in carrying the news to Halifax:
"Tell OHara thai Smith said in his
Waynesviile speech that he (O'Hara)
would possibly be taken off the Radical
electoral ticket before the election,
aud that If he was not he could not
say that he would vote for him.

A BEAUTIFUL illustration of Dem
ocratic rule OF the olden time has
been unearthed by Secretary Chand-
Ter. A recent act of Congress re-
quires that the Indian trust funds
shall be transferred from the Interior
Department to the custody of the
Treasurer Of the United States. In
preparing to comply with this direc-
ton, Mr.. Chandler caused an invent
DRY to be made of the stocks and
bonds constituting the funds. In the
course of this work it cane to light
that even before Jake Thompson's
haul of $4,000, o Democratic sec
rotary Of the interior had taken ST.
100000 in money and put in South
erp bonds of different kinds, includ-
ing lot of stock in the Tennessee
Turnpike Company, fraudulent con-
Germ long since exploded. In fact, all of
the bonds so deposited are worthless
or nearly so. This was over twenty
years ago, and the Government is
liable to the ceStUts gue trust not
only for the principal, but also for
the interest, amounting to nearly
S6,000,000. This amount it must
pay, and the people must be taxed
for it. 1t will be understood that
the law was explicit that these funds
shonld be invested only in United
States bonds; yet in fragrant viola
ton of this act, a typical Democratic
Cabinet minister distracted the
money and replaced it with waste
paper in the form of Southern Sc
curities.

DEFALCATIoNs. - If an average

Spills on every $1,000 discussed.
The percentage on defalcation under

than under any President since 1884

tanned by the Executive. The Gin

tanned by the Executive. The Gin
cinnati Convention was only an Incl
dent that occurred during his official
life. Mr.. Bristow's friends presented
his name, but he was not nominated.
1t would appear that he had not laid
much stress upon his chances OF re-
ceiving the nomination. And when
the convention adjourned he felt that
the time had come when, without
detriment to the public service, he
might do as he had done year ago
tender his resignation.
But the termination of the labors
of Mr.. Bristow as Secretary Of the
Treasury had no political signifi-
canoe whatever. 1t is well-known
that he informed the President some
weeks since of his desire to retire
from Office some time in the month
of June, that he might give attention
to his private affairs. His relations
to the President were perfectly
friendly. He had attacked the whis-
key ring and beaten 1t; and the
conviction Of its leaders had placed
them in situation where for many
months, at all events, they could not
derfaud the revenue. He had borne
the brunt of the battle-the heat
and burden Of the day. The battle
was over, and the work yet to be done
is easy of accomplishment by his
successor. He is in every sense i'll
full accord with the principles and
aims of the Republican party +; and
not only desires the election of Hayes
and Wheeler, as the standard-bearers
Of the party, but he will labor to
that end. His two years service at
the head of the Treasury Department
necessarily removed him from all
connection with his business, and as
he believed that he had faithfully
served the people, he believed also
that the time had come when he
could carry out his wish to retire,
and resume again the practice of his
profession. -Erchmuge.
