mainly cultivated for this purpose. An
acre OF roots will usually yield more nutri-

dry forage, they promote the health of the
stock. Half the diseases which make
their appearance among ordinary farm
stock would be unknown If roots OF various
kinds were used freely during the winter
months. Beets and carrots should be put
in early, or before the weather becomes

Rebel Claims.
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, October 3, 1876.
, Eaitor of The Ns,o York Herald

WASHINGTON, October y loIo.)
To the Editor Of the EsD York Herald:
Republican speakers and newspapers
are insisting with vehemence that the
country will be rendered bankrupt by
the vast sums appropriated for the pay
ment ofs "rebel claims" if the Demo
Gratis succeed in electing Tilden. To
support and give apparent color to this
charge, long list of so-called "rebel
claims presented at the last session of
Congress by Democrats, is given. Fig
uring largely in this list is bill intre
duced by myself to pay the claim of two
hundred and six loyal citizens of London
County, Virginia, whose property was
destroyed by order of General Sheridan.
General Sheridan's order directing the
destruction of their property is published
also.
The fact that the Senate is Republican
and must remfin so until 1879 at least,
if.not till 1881, and that no bill can be
passed without the concurrence Of that
body, ought to be sufficient answer
to this charge, and quiet the alarms Of
the Northern people. They ought to
realize the fact that the Senate stands as
an impenetrable bulwark to protect them
from the poverty and ruin which the
Democrats are charged with desiring to
bring upon them, and that Northern
Democrats could not ruin the Northern
Republicans without running themselves
likewise.
But putting this aside wish to tell
the real facts about the bill introduced
by me. The impression is sought to be
made that this claim was put forward
for the first time after the Democrats had

Parke GOdwin's Address: What Lib
eral Says About the Issues
of the Hour.
New York SUM-

The piercing wind, carrying clouds of
dust with it, was not favorable to the
assemblage OF very large audience OF
Indifferent persons in the Cooper Union
last evening, but it was no lukewarm
crowd that thronged into the great hall,
filling every seat and blocking the ras-
sageways, to hear Mr.. Parke Goodwin de-
liver an address on the political situa-
tion, in response to an invitation from
the business men of New York. Long
before eight o'clock every inch of room
was occupied, and the enthusiasm grew
more and more demonstrative until it
eliminated in tremendous burst of ap-
plause as Mr.. Parke Goodwin and num-
Der of other prominent gentlemen took
their seats upon the platform.
The chairman introduced Mr.. Parke
Goodwin, who for some minutes was un-
able to make himself heard. When the
applause which had greeted him had in
some measure subsided, he said that the
questions to which the civil war had given
birth had, whether wisely or otherwise,
been definitely settled, and the nation
must pass on to other issues. Some OF

it in any way. The conflict had left tn
country enormously in debt. 1t had de
moralized the civil service, burdened the
nation with heavy taxes, and impover
ished the population. When peace wa
restored it required craftsmanship, in
tegrity and patriotism to settle the ques
tions presented. How had the dominan
party dealt with the difficulties that lay
before it? Had it met and overcom,

The Democratic Plan of Battle.

The Democratic plan of battle in this
contest is in vivid contrast to the tactics
adopted by the Republicans.
The Democratic strategy is simply,
'" Let the people have light" Show the
books. Their tactics in actual debate
are in accord with the general strategic
design. They shirk no comparison of
detailed facts or figures, but constantly
endeavor to force their opponents
such comparison. This policy is based
upon the profound faith of their leaders
in the intelligence and virtue of the
American people.
1t has always been the policy of
Samuel ]. Tilden, who has constantly
held that victory was to be won emily by
fearless exposure of the whole truth,
with no regard to whom such exposure
might hurt or offend. The truth always,
in season and out of season, in every
place and on every occasion-the naked,
bold, aggressive, incisive truth, has been
the whole policy of his public life.
When Tweed was mighty among the
mighty, Tilden knew that truth was
mightier still. He trusted in it and
conquered by lit then just as he
trusts in it and will conquer by it
now. His favorite maxims are "Truth
crushed to earth will rise again." and
"Great is truth, and it will prevail"
Hence the Democratic campaign is cam
paign of intelligence, and the chief
weapon used is the press, and it is used
in the dissemination, not of vague and
infammatory appeals to prejudice and
passion of the people, such as are poured
forth from the Washington headquarters
of the Radicals, but of solid facts which
cannot be disputed and figures that do
not lie.
The campaign of intelligence is the
true campaign, and the only one worthy
ofour free institutions. The results will
show for glorious triumph over the radi-
cal strategy of prescription, SANDER and
| falsehood,

The Necessity of a Change.
New York journal of Commerce,

The Democratic candidate for Cover.
nor of New York put this pertinent
question in his Albany speech: "Is it
anywhere recorded in the political his
tory of this country that any party,
corrupted by the long possession of
power, ever reformed itst If and corrected
its own abuses? 1t has never been done,
and willnot be without change of Ad-
ministration." This is, or ought to be,
the keynote of the campaign. 1t is the
thought which most impresses the minds
of the great, independent, honest body Of
voters who sincerely desire thorough
reform in the Administration. If the
opposition speakers and editors would
abandon their abuse of Republican can
didates-leaving libels aud harsh
epithets wholly to the other side-and
make their fight on the issue so well
phrased by Mr.. Robinson, they would
xain doubtful votes from this time on to
the election.
History" says the proverb, ais phi
losophy teaching by example" Mr..
Robinson safely appeals to its records in
the United States-and he might have
added EDgland-for single instance of
the voluntary purifcation of itself by
party stepped in corruption and abuse.
No such miracle has ever occurred, nor
will it ever happen. 1t would be con-
trary to what we know of human nature
and the laws of party organizations. The
longer aparty remains in power the more
hopeless are the efforts of its best men to
reform it. Every year adds TO the bad
precedents that must be followed. These
cannot be repudiated without selfcon-
demnation. Every year intrenches the
position of the office-boldels, who
have elected and sustained the Ad-
ministration, and upon whom it
depends for support. These men
can not be turned out of Office with
out breaking up the party-for they are
the party, or the life and soul of it.
Only by revolution OF the executive
power can any but superficial reforms be
achieved. This is well understood in
England, and it is pity we have not an
equal facility of shifting the political
control of things here. When a Tory
ministry is defeated by majority Of the
House of Commons, the Premier does moi
try to mend matters by forming another
Tory minority who may be less objec
tionable, but he and his associates al
bundle out and let the Liberals take
their turn. This radical step, and thii
alone, secures the correction of abuses
and the adoption of reforms de
manded by the people through
the House of Commons. And so il
this country the only process by which
the executive department of the Govern
ment can be reformed is not by substi
tuting one Republican administration

hat would insure their triumph in No

that would insure their triumph in No
vember. Now, in this one essential
quality Hayes turns out to be failure.
He has escaped defeat in Ohio by hairs
breadth, and placed it in the column of
doubtful States for November; while
Indiana has now pronounced for the
Democrats under such circumstances as
render it sure for Tilden.
Not only has Hayes in this contest
lost his adjoining State on the west,
which has voted for all the Republican
Presidents since Buchanan, but he has
lost West Virginia by heavy majority,
his adjoining State on the southeast,
which has supported every Republican
President since it entered the Union.
The supposed prestige of Hayes as a
leader in great campaign is gone. The
overwhelming disasters he has encounI
tered on his right and left wings in this
preliminary battle, are only aggravated
by the feeble resistance of the center,
where he commanded in person.
In the recent sharp conflict Hayes
himself has been utterly Frustrated. As
a rallying peint for his followers, he has
been swept completely away. His fate
reminds one of Marmion at Flodden
Field:
" In the lost battle, borne down by the flying,
Where mingles wars rattle with groans Of the
dying"
However, we don't believe Zach
Chandler and Sitting Bull Morton will
express their opinion as to his preten.
sions and qualifications as leader by
quoting Scott, unless it be Colonel Tom
Scott. They will be more likely to damn
Hayes as a bad investment of the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars that the
Republican National and State Com
mit.ees spent in the recent elections
Zach has not been accustomed to see hi:
moneNwasted in that way. Sitting Bull
will rave in unusually angry tones al
Hayes for proving such a dead failure il

The Outraged South.

Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer. !
The fiat of Grant, Chandler & Co., Or
dering the army to do Republican police
duty in South Carolina is exciting much
comment in political circles. The house
hold organ and Administration Repub-
licans profess to feel that the order in
sures the election OF Hayes, but the
weight of public opinion appears to be
the other way. A careful examination
Of the verbiage of the proclamation
shows one or two rather striking eccen-
tricities about these "Disperse, ye
rebels" documents. Both Grant and
Chamberlain appear to have fatty mis-
stated fact in their proclamation, as
they both assert that the Rife Clubs
have no legal existence, which does not
appear to be the case.

"BIue Jeans" Makes a Speech.

The Democrats celebrated their victory,
at indianapolis the night after the elec-
ton, with salute of cannon, a grand
torchlight procession, bon.fres, and a
fine display of fireworks. Mr.. Williams,
the Govenor-elect, who arrived in the
afternoon, was escorted from his hotel,
to the State House square by the Will
liams Guards and other companies,
bearing torches, where speeches were
made by Mr.. Williams, Governor Hen
dricks, and others. The following is a
summary of Mr.,,Williams s speech:
"MY FELLow-CITIzENs: l neither

tion for the Office to which l have been

for it, and will labor to make them the

turn they will accept, faithful dis
charge of the duties of the office. have
had long important connection with the
legislative department of the State, and
it is gratifying to me to know that in the
fierce political contest through which |
have passed in which scarce anything has
escaped examination, no fault has been
found with me, not even a criticism oi
my legislative record. After the close
of that legislative service, it is very
gratifying to me to receive from the
hands OF the people, the highest
elective office of the State. While
1 express the highest appreciation of the
honor which has been done me, would
not utter one word or sentiment in the
spirit of exultation. My full under
standing of the responsibilities am tc
assume, as well as the prophet es of this
occasion, make it improper for me to in
dulge in such speech. During the
contest l have been the object of politi
cal and personal criticism, yet l wish t.
assure you l came out of the struggle
with kind feelings toward all and NJ
personal or partisan bitterness will EN-
barrass me in the discharge of the dutie
of that high office, as the representativ,
of the whole people.

you upon the result in Indiana in respec
to its influence upon the national con
test now pending. By both parties, ant
by the people of other States, it has beel
felt that the result in Indiana wopl

the country upon the Presidential elec
tion, and as the national result involves

The Latest Administration Outrage.

The mammoth pileof Republican usur-
pations in the Southern States, and of
the recent outrages upon civil law in
South Carolina, is crowned with Presi
Dental proclamation which, for high
handed disregard of the Constitution and
the civil authority has no mate in our
history. Never in time of peace have
the mandates of the Constitution been
so fagrantly violated by the solemn act
of an entire Administration. The Presi-
dent proclaims martial law in South
Carolina for the purpose of giving the
electoral vote of that State to Hayes.
What are the facts? Governor Chamber
lain has packed the Supervisors, the Re-
turning Boards, the Commissioners of
Elections in his own interest. He has
10000 negroes in the State, with 10000
stand of arms. Forty Companies of the
United States Army, it is said by Re-
publican journals, have been sent to
South Carolina to still further aid
Chamberlain and Hayes. And now the
hope of the rascafs election being still
tremulous, the President goes through
the formality of issuing a proclamation
ordering all armed bands to disperse
within three days, and in the same breath
orders the General of the armies to
cause the entire Atlantic army to report
at Columbia at once, and directions are
given to also bring to the assistance of
Hayes and Chamberlain the militia of
the States. The Marshals, under Taft's
order, have authority to summon every
male citizen above eighteen years of age
to the avowed assistance of Rutherford
B. Hayes. Was ever such spectacle pre-
sented? Was ever such lawless despera-
tion manifest? Was ever such enormous
machinery brought d bear upon the elec.
tion in State The President, goaded
on by the men who are trying to elect
Hayes, counseled by his Cabinet, has
violated the Constitution at every STEP
in this official act. He grounds hi:
proclamation upon the Constitutional
command that the United States shall
, protect theStates against invasion, and
/ on application of the Legislature, or o.
, the Executive, qUhen the Legislature ca,
not be convened, against domestic vic
, lence." In the first place, according tc
| the testimony of the Republicans of high
est repute in the State, there is NJ
/ domestic violence there agalns
which the United States ar,
, called upon to protect Soutl
t Carolina. The Constitution did not de

South Carolina without even the
formality Of lawless proclamation
The President orders these bands
to disperse. They have not met, drilled,
trained. They have armed themselvesas as
individuals in selfdefense against forty
thousand Government muskets in the
hands of negroes. The President COM
mands them to "disperse in three days."
and, without waiting to learn whether
or not they obey, instantly orders the
army to the State, giving power to sum-
mon the militia of the various States to
its aid. This is swift lawlessness. 1t is
incontinent usurpation. 1t is revolution.
1t is the method by which Hayes is to be
elected, if elected at all.
