Current NOtaS.

Hayes bids fair to be a success beyond the
most sanguine anticipations in advance of
his nomination. There is literally nothing
said against his position by men of any party
the heaviest argument for change of parties
in administration adduced being the appre-
hension that Hayes will not clear out the ma
tional office-holders TO the extent that the
interests of reform really demand.-Temple
ton from Boston.
Plain honesty is worth more than craft.
He who doubts it may read Gov. Hayes's
letter of acceptance, and note its effect. It
is the letter of a genuine, frank, selfcon-
trolled and fearless man, who seeks no re-
sponsibility, and shirks none. Its civil SER
vice declaration is better than the Republican
platform, as that was better than the Demo-
il is more definite.-Neao York Public.
We warn the Southern whites that such
an occurrence as that at Hamburg, S. c., is
dangerous to them, not because of the riot,
but because they, the decent part of the pop
ulation, have not public spirit, humanity and
Christian feeling enough to stand up for the
outraged law and to demand and insist on
the prompt and relentless punishment of the
murderers and of the bullies, miscalled "gen-
tlemen," who were concerned in bringing on
the trouble.-N. Y. Herald.
Mr.. Samuel Tilden has lived in New York
about 40 years, and has grown rich here by
acting as counselor and arranger of large cor
porations and forms of property-work that
required the greatest patience, versatility
and dexterity. He had to find out the condi-
tion of such property, manage legislation
concerning it, bring together or keep apart
its rival owners or claimants, pull mortgages
from beneath or pile them on the top, travel,
write letters, slip things in the newspapers
and money columns, 60 to the higher courts,
compromise, sell at auction, toreclose; in
short. perform the entire chicanery of busi-
ness at the greatest money center of the
country and at the State capital where the
laws are made and applied.-"Gath."
The Augusta, Georgia, Constitutiondlist,
which at first censured manfuly, but not too
strongly, the conduct of General Butler and
his murderous rioters at Hamburg, afler-
wards backed water in this discreet fashion !:
SIN our report of the Hamburg riot yester-
day the types made us say: while every
honest and fair-minded man in South Caro-
lima and Georgia, and the whole country,
must condemn the course pursued by Gen.
Butler and his men, etc. What we really in
tended to say was that while every honest
and fair-minded man in South Carolina and
Georgia must regret the course of some of
Gen. Buffers men, etc. Engagem ents else.
where prevented reading of the proof, and
hence the error of the report. Paragraphs
followed the above relative to the noble gen.
tleman, Gen. Butler, whose kindness of
show that the sentence alluded to was simply
lapse which the best of us, in the midst Of
excitement and annoyance, may fall into.
We make the earliest possible ameilde hon

Concerning a Certain Sham OF American
Growth

1t is one of the disabilities of criticism and
comment In the public prints that sham states
men and shams generally are grati6ed by tn
notice. When third-rate sham is made the
subject of comment, he straightway advances
to the dignity of irst-class humbug 10 his
own esteem. The most contemplate humbug
of all is he who, from what is popularity
deemed lofty position, and who manages TO dis"
play some of the insignia of his (socalled) lower
estate on all occasions. We may, perhaps,
imagine Washington Juggling surveyors
compass and Gunter's chain into the halls of
Congress on the occasion of his annual message.
AS matter of fact, he hever was guilty OF such
absurd ostentation. We may similarly imag-
inc Lincoln appearing at the east front OF the
capitol bearing maui and brace OF iron
wedges. As a matter OF fact, Lincoln tnough
never ashamed of his humble origin and for
mer vocation, was never guilty Of the absurdity
of reminding the public of either. Both WASH
ington and Lincoln had those qualities of great
ness which dlsdain the Fictitious and the ad-
yentitious aids so universally resorted to by the
cheap demagogue. The worst defect of An
drew Johnson's character was his eternal harp
ing upon his humble origin. Wherever ho
went the public heard the click OF his tailor
shears and the hiss of his goose as 1t laid the
moist seams OF some garment tashioned iorty
years before. Everybody felt that he ought TO
be above such petty tricks of the demagogus.
He had abilities Of which he had right to be
proud. He was more than an average publi-
| cst. As q tailor he was nothing to brag OF.
As an alderman be was nothing out OF the
common run of such officials. As q senator he
| was up to the highest average. But as senator
and as acting President he was forever clicking
his shears about the ears of the general pnblc>

and the large number of testimonials which are con-
stantly being received from persons who have been
cured by its use, conclusive proof of its great
value 1t is recommended by physicians and apoth-
ecaries. AS Bood.Purifer and Health -Restorer
it has no equal.
FEGETINE is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors. which debilitates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the differ
ent complaints satisfactory to any reasonable persons
suffering from disease that they can be cured? Read
the different testimonials given, and no one can
doubt. In many of these the persons say that
their pain and suffering not be expressed as in
cases of Scrofua, where. apparently the whole body
was one mass of corruption. If VEGETINE will re-
lieve pan cleanse, purify and such diseases re-
storing the patient to perfect health after trying diff
ferent physicians, many remedies, suffering for years
is it not conclusive proof, if you sufferer YOU
can be cured? Why is this medicine performing
such great cures? 1t works in the blood, in the cir
culatng fluid. 1t can be truly called the Great
Blood Purifier The great source of disease origin
ates in the blood and no medicine that does not act
directly upon it, to purify and renovate has any lust
claim upon public attention. When the blood be-
comes lifeless and stagnant, either from change of
weather or climate want of exercise irregular diet,
or from any other cause, the VEGETINE will renew
the BLOOD carry Oft the putrid humors, cleanse the
stomach, regulate the bowels and impart tone of
vigor to the whole body. The conviction is, in the
public mind as well as in the medical profession, that
the remedies supplied by the Vegetdbte Kingdom are
more safe, more successful, in the cure of disease
than mineral medicines. VEGETINE is composed of
roots, barks, and herbs. 1t is pleasant to take and
is perfectly safe to give infant Do you need it?
DO not hesitate to try it. You will never regret it.

IT becomes more and more evident that
nothing is to be known about the Turco-
Servian war until it is over. The dispatches
from Belgrade and Constantinople are utterly
irreconcilable and a victory is no sooner
claimed by one of the contestants than it is
denied by the other. 1t seems probable that
there has been nothing like general engag-
ment as yet, and that neither side has gained
any very important advantage.

man about so years old, registered as Thomas
Evans, of Chicago, and a girl of IL, whose

Della Moline, of Portland, Maine and more
recently of Topeka, Kansas. The young wo'

VlceI A.-Mr Samuel y. Tilden, Mr.. Charles Tracy
and Judge Allen.
On page 32S of the same interesting vol
ume, John b. Alley, another of the credit
mobiier operators was questioned on the
same subject with the following result:
Q--And further, understood you to say that you
were instructed by eminent counsel upon whose ad-
vice you relied that the course you took was com
pliance with the law? Ayes, sir.
,Q.-Haye you ever seen, or do you know whether
that opinion of eminent counsel is in existence now
in writing? Al do not know. do not know
whether iG was given in writing.
Q.1Was IT given to you by these eminent counsel?
A.-Mr. Tilden, kR0E, told me that he regarded it
as compliance with the law.
Mr.. c. s. Bushnell, another of the princi-
pal Credit-Mobiler managers, gives the name
OF Samuel j. Tilden as one of the eminent
counsel who advised them that the plan
which they proposed to adopt would be legal
and safe.
1t may be that Democratic papers will say
that this act of Mr.. Tilden as railroad law
yer is OF no account, yet it will be remem-
bered that these same journals severely criti-
cised Gen. Butler for acting as counsel in
adjusting subsequent difficulties of the Credit
Mobiler spectators. What of Reformer Til
den? lfhe is the great and good man he
claims to be, would he not have told them
that their plan was scheme to rob the peo.
pie and the government and as such was a
violation of the spirit of the law? Mr.. Tiden,
however, was not Reformer at that time.
He was simply the. .sharpest and most skillful
railroad lawyer in the country, informing a
few unscrupulous clients that project to
steal millions was entirely safe. Mr.. Tilden
should have set up in the reformer business
twenty years before the year of grace 1871
when he was compelled to do so by theexpos-
ure of the robberes of his political associates
by the New York Tinass.
