About ten days ago Mrs. Law, of Phila,
delphia, was robbed of some four or five
thousand dollars worth ofiewelry at the
Rowland lIonse, at Long Branch, where
she was spending the summer. Hor room

Mrs. Law was in the surf. The thief has
been captured and turns out to be regular

get back her trinkets and that several
other Long Branch visitors will obtain
clew as to the destination Of articles of
value which have been lost during the
summer.

ABSCED.-About the only thing the Demo
Gratis accomplished by their State Conven-
ton resolutions last week was to bring
themselves into ridiculc. BY adopting the
" white mans party" resolution they made
laughing stocks Of themselves and put their
platform in dscord with the national plat
form Of the party. We felt pretty sure
that the leading papers Of the country
would ridicule il, if they deemed it not too
absurd for even ridicule, and sure enough,
they are laughing at it. The New York
Hroi{ says:
The Delaware Democrats still believe
that this is country for white men, and
that no others need apply. This is bad for
the democratic party, as is all bigotry and
old fogyism. But what can be expected OF
a State which keeps up the whipping post

that the corpse will be ready

If the people of the north, the Repub-
lican party, who had it in their power to
hang every rebel in the South (and should
have hung the leaders, had the magua-
nimity to forgive them all, and restore
them to their former rights and privileges,
does it not seem as though they might
forget their old-time prejudices so far as
to recognize the colored man, at least ac-
cording to the constitution and laws of
the land that SO generously forgave them
their faults; and all the more SO when
we remember that the negro soldiery COM
posed quite a large and prominent part of
the army of the Union that had it in its
power to demand punishment to the full
measure for their crimes. Instead ,of
that, however, we present to the world the
spectacle of the rebellious States in full
control of one house of the national leg
islature, within less than ten years after
their lives were given them, and behold
them pursuing the colored man with all
the relentless cruelty they showed when
standing over him with an overseer's whip,
and thousands of these poor blacks have
met their death because they wanted to
vote with the party that struck off their
shacklcs. Mercy may be a good thing
but it has been fearfully misapplied in
this case.

Coaches, and combine the luxury and
comfort OF life at home, yet gliding over
this famous route, noted for its perfect
equipment and careful management, at a
safe rate of speed never yet attained by
any rival. A feature not to pass unnotic-
ed is the facility for reaching hotels. In
the immediate vicinity, within five min
utes walk of the Centennial Depot, are to
be found dhotels, at which good accommo,
dations can be had for two or three dollars
per day.
The Encampment at Elm Station, near
the Centennial Grounds, was established
by the National Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry, for the purpose of accommo-
dating the large number of Agriculturists
who desire to visit the Exhibition, and to
afford comfortable resting place at the
moderate expense of two dollars per day
Taking into consideration the immense
sum of money, time and labor expended
ythis line to render perfect its accom-
mOdations for the comfort and safety of
its patrons, we unhesitatingly recommend
it as the most desirable route to reach the
Centennial Exhibition.

THE CENTENNIAL.
The Farmers Time for Recreation!

Now, that the summer crops will soon
be gathered; and our farmers everywhere
are happy over the abundant harvest, to-
gether with the fact that the demand fol
agricultural products will be great enough
to realize good return in the market, it
is we'll that those of our friends who in.
tend visiting the Centennial have their at
tention brought to the best and most eco
nomical means of reaching the Exhibition
now being held to commemorate our Tooth
Anniversary as a Nation.
Undoubtedly greater facilities are now
being offered by the Great Ft. Wayne &
Pennsylvania Line for reaching the
GATEWAY OF THE CENTENNIAL
GROUNDS, than is in the power of any
rival to Offer while for convenience, COM
fort and economy, none can dispute the
fact that it is the most desirable, shortest
and quickest route to the Centennial de-
pot; in the immediate neighborhood of
good hotels whose prices, range from two
to four dollars per day, and within five
minutes walk of the Main Entrance, thus
saving to the visitor the cost and annoy
ance of transfer incident to other lines.
Not the least attractive to our farmer
friends will be the Eneampment of the
National Grange of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry, at Elm Station, near the Centen-
nial Grounds, on the line OF this road
where ample accommodations have been
provided for agriculturists, at the moder-
ate price Of two dollars per day, Arrange
ments haye been perfected by this line by
which Centennial tickets to Philadelphia
or New York and return, good for sixty
days, can be obtained at any coupon tick
ct office in the West.

with the Republican party, and should
work for Hayes and Wheeler. Such
names as Grinnell, W. NJ. Stone, Hep,

lights, will swell the Republican majority
to such overwhelming figures this fall,
that the Democracy will wonder if they
really had ticket in the field.

Democrats claim that Tilden is a grea
reformer because the debt of New YorI
has been greatly reduced since he took the
helm. Now look at the facts. When
the Republican party elected Gen. Dix
Governor, the State was nearly swamped
by debt; but by prompt measures and
wise legislation, the tide was turned, and
during Gen. Dixs administration the
debt greatly reduced, and interest thereon
stopped, which of course made less ex-
penses for the State to pay, and measures
adopted by the Republican legislature,
which insured the continuance of the re
ductiOn. This was the State of affairs
when Tilden was elected Governor, and
all he had to do, was to enforce laws pass
ed by a Republican Legislature, and
the reduction naturally followed. By
the way, if Sammy is such a reformer,
would it not be we'll to hear his opinion of
the Sheriff who allowed Boss Tweed to
escape. That Sheriff still remains in Of.
flee, and it looks nightly as though Til
den connived at the escape of his old bos-
ON friend, Tweed. .'.t

MORE OUTRAGE.

On the 10Th of August, the Repubh-
cans of Edgefeld, South Carolina, at
tempted to held public meeting. Gov.
ChamberIin, Congressman Smalls and
Judge Mackey were the speakers. About
1900, black and white gathered about the
stand, and just as the meeting opened
600 Democratic horsemen followed by a
large body of footmen, all armed with re-
olversand headed by the butcher of Ham
burg, Gen. M. c. Butler, of Georgia, rode
up and demanded Of the Republicans
division Of time. Seeing that q row was
imminent unless he complied, the COVER
nor consented, and they agree that each
speaker should occupy half an hour
Matters progressed for time in this
manner, and whenever a Republican at
tempted to speak he was hooted and yell
ed at until his time was up. The Demo
Gratis pulled the stand over while Gov
Chamberlin was speaking. Finally, find
ing the mob was bound to break up the
meeting the crowd dispersed, the rioters
following the citizens with threats, swear
ing they would break up every meeting
they attempted to hold, and that they
would "carry the county peaceably if they
could, but carry it they would at any cost"
The report OF the meeting is taken from
the columns of Democratic paper of
Charleston, the Neaos and Courier, writ
ten by its own correspondent on the spot.
We hope Gov. Chamberlain will not fool
with such men long, but call out his mil
itary, and if necessary the U. S. troops,
and soipe them out, just as any civilized
country would serve such band of des-
peradoes. This is part of the Tilden pro-
gramme. to carry South Carolina for De
mocracy, with fair and full majority of
10000 for the Republican ticket. A
man who can read of such outrages and
not feel his blood boil is no man at all,
and should be compelled to live in such a
community all his life. x

how foolish, when we remember that
such men as. John Morrissey, Jno. Kelly,
and the whole Tammany ring are not
only his supporters, but advisers That
he does not even Investigate" the cause of
Boss Tweed's escape from the sheriff that
was bought up. That he is railroad
swindler, and has a dozen suits now on
hand for swindling. That he was rebel
at heart during the war. These are all
good recommendations for reformer ~

you have the past of the Republican party
