KNOW NOEHINGE>M REVIVED
A seonet society has been organized
in the North, based upon opposition
to foreigners and Catholics. A Nation
al Convention was held at Philadelphia
few days ago. with delegates present
from twenty-nine States. One of the
resolutions Is as follows:
ReSolvcd, That the nominations of
Rutherford b Hayes of Ohio for
President of the United States, and
William A Wheeler of New York, for
Vice President, be and the same are
hereby indorsed by the American Alli-
ance Conference, and the Alliance earn
estly advise all who are in favor of
American principles, as advocated and
set forth in the resolutions, to give
those nominations an active and de-
termined support.
Ehis alliance claims to be the result
of the union Gf all the native Ameri-
can orders, consummatGd on the 18th
of May last. The motto is, "Ameri-
cans and Protestants should rule
America" The members are known
only to each other, and are sworn to
secrecy.
There is evidently something in Mr..
Hayes record to account for the sup
port accorded him by this American
Alliance, an oathbound society whose
object to to eliminate from politics the
foreign elements in this country. 1t
is a native American organization with
all that the name implies.
And yet it is claimed that Carl Schurz
can persuade our German fellow citi-
zens to vote for Hayes. We rather
think the first Tuesday in November
next will tell different story.

COL. pool AND GOV. BROGDEN

COL. POOL AND GOV. BROGDEN.
The Raleigh News prints the follow
ing account of an interview between
Governor Brogden and it reporter:
"You have not appointed Super
intendent of Public Instruction, yet,
Governor"
'sNo, sir; wilt make that appoint
ment pext week"
'Who is now in charge?"
''Col. Pool still has charge of the
books and papers and is in charge of
the Office"
The Radical press in this State have
been loud-mouthed in the denuncia-
ton of Colonel POOLS conduct while
he was acting as the agent of the
Peabody Fund. The Radical platform
adopted by our Radical State Conven-
ton made the subject of special de-
nunciation. Governor Brogden was
also swift to write to DR.. Sears, the
General Agent of the Peabody Fund,
to get the facts and publish the dis
grace OF Colonel Pool.
Now that is all very we'll, for no one
objects tc the exposure of ras-
cality in any quarter, but if
these Radicals we're honest in
ali this, is it not little strange that
Governor Brogden keeps Colonel Pool
| in office? The man resigned, but to
suit his own purposes Governor Brog-
den keeps him on duty at post for
which he is manifestly unfit. If Col
onel Pool is the scoundrel you say he
is, how dare you keep him in Office
You call him sconndrel and thief
but you keep him in Office Strange
We demand that you let the man go,
Governor BrogdeI.

Mark the growth of the public civil
service in seven years under Radical
President and Radical Administration.
In 1869 the number of persons on
the Government pay roll was 81, 207,
and to-day it is 81, ,119 In other
words it requires just 1892 more
officers for Radical President and
Radical Administration to carry on the
Government than it took a Democratic
President and a Democratic Adminis-
tration. And what is the prospect for
relief Does either the Radical candi-
datefor President on the Radical plat
form promise any relief ? No, indeed.
Both the Cincinnati platform and Gov.
Hayes letter of acceptance will be
searched in vain for word that
promises or that even pretends
to promise any reduction in this i'm
mense army of officeholders-a greater
army indeed than General Lee ever
carried into the field. Not a single
word can be found to show that Gov
ernor Hayes, if elected President, will
reduce the Civil Service to anything
like the numbers that did the work of
the country before GRANT entered
upon his career of corruption and ex-
travagance. Let the people take
warning therefore. If the people de-
sire retrenchment and reform: Hayes
and Wheeler are not the candidates
for their votes.

VALUABLE INFORMATION.

Having been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and
the W hole surface of my skin being covered with
pimples and eruptions many of which caused me
great pain and annoyance ,and knowing il to be
blood disease, took many of the advertised blood
preparations among which was any quantity of
Sarsparilla. Without obtaining any benefit until

had completed the first bottle saw that | had got
the right medicine. Consequently, l followed on
with it until had taken seven bottles, when
was pronounced we'll man, and my skin is
smooth and entirely free from pimples and erup-

RENEMREK.

The question before the country in
the present campaign being whether
there shall be any reduction in the
government expenses, the following
table furnishes some interesting mat
ter for reading and reflection:
Wilmington journal., 1876-07-21

VEGETINE is made exclusively from the juices
of carefully. selected barks, and herbs, and
so strongly concentrated that it VIII etecfually
eradicate from the system every taint of h1lauu
ScrOfulOus HumOr, TumOrs, Cancer, ca
Humor, Erysipeas, Salt Rheum, SyphilitfV1
eases, Canker, Faintness at the Stomach, and III
diseases that arise from impure blood Seiatica,
lntkammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Neural
gia, Gout and Spinal Complaints, can only be
effectually cured through the blood.
For Ulcers and Eruptive diseases of the Skin
Pustues, Pimples, Blotches, Boils, letter. Sca1d-
head and RngwOrm, VEGETlNE has never failed
to effect permanent cure.
For Pains i'll the Back, Kidney Complaints
Dropsy, Female Weakness, LeucOrrhoea, arising
from internal liberation and uterine diseases and
General Debility, NEGETINE acts directly upon
the causes of these complaints. 1t invigorates
and strengthens the whole system, acts upon the
secretive organs, alays Inflammation, cures ulCe-
ration and regulates the bowels.
For Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Habtual Costiveness,
PapitatiOn of he Heart, Headache, Piles,
Nervousness and General Prostration of the
Nervous System, no medicine has ever given such
perfect satisfaction the VEGETINE. 1t purif1es
the blood, cleanscs all of the organs and possesses
a controlling power over the nervous system.
The remarkable cures effected by VRGETINE
have induced many physicians and apothecaries
whom we know to prescribe and use it in their
families.
In fact, NEGETINE is the best remedy yet dis
covered for the above diseases and is the only re-
liable blood Purifier yet placed before
the public.
Wilmington journal., 1876-07-21

VeGETINE, for the complaints for which it is
recommended, is having larger sale throughout
the United States than any other one medicine.
Why? Vegetine will cure these complaints.

The storm whose ominous mutter-

with sudden fury over the whole

The New Orleans Inspection.

lfToln the NeW ork Tribunc.I
If some Of the eminent Northern Democrats
DOW on the road to New Orleans, or already
there, could be muzzled or restrained from
flaming out in ludd kilograms, the mIschiev-
Gus purpose with which they are inspired
would not be made so manifest. There is no
demand in the Southern situation for imported
demagogism; the domestic supply is already
ample, and gentlemen whose mission is to
breathe out threatenings and slaughter had
better stay at home. 1t seemed wise pre-
caution TO invite candid men of both parties to
te present during the official canvass of the
doubtful States, because the vote was doubt
fuI, because their honest Judgment upon the
facts presented would tend to allay whatever
existed of popular disquiet and apprehension.
But when these missionaries assume TO pro-
nounce formal judgment beforehand, when
they declare that fair count can only mean
the return of Democratic electors, when they
set out as prosecuting attorneys, with the sole
purpose Of convicting Republicans of fraud,
they become emlssaries of sedition. Perhaps
Mr.. Hewitt's envoys extraordinary do not ap-
preciate the gravity Of the responsibility with
which they have charged themselves. 1t is
turbulent partissnship which aggravates the
peTils OF the situation, and this is doubly dan
gercus when masked beEind specious preten-
sion of judicial fairness. IL the speeches of
some OF these pilgrims from hotel balconies
aid car platforms, as well as their incendiary
dispatches, had emanated from agents of the
New York poolrooIns, they would call for lit
tie comment; but coming from gentlemen in
their position, on their ostensible errand, and
of all men under bonds to keep the peace,
they come near Icing infamous

The Louisiana Vote.

From the ST. Lou Globe-Democrat
= The gathering of Democratic politicians in
New Orleans, TO be present at the counting of
the votes, might be welcomed as a guarantee
of fair and peaceable decision of question
on which great deal depends, if the partisan
course of the Democracy since the election
had not convinced us that it was hopeless to
expect any fairness from them. We do not
hesitate to say that there has been no trick
and no falsehood too gross for them to use in
their persistent, determined attempt to de-
ceiye the people with regard to the result of
the election. TLey have published bulletins
which were lies on their face, have given ma
the vote had been; have claimed districts
from which not a single word of authentic
news had been received, and, amid their in
ventions and falsifcations, have kept up a din
of protests and of threats that showed how
much they relied on mere noise and clamor.
People who claim an election before the re-
turns are in, and who grow foul -mouthed and
abusive toward those who merely represent
that it would be better to wait until they hear
the news, are not in frame of mind 10 en-
force fairness In counting the vote, or even to
know what fairness is; and we are compelled
10 believe that, instead of going down to
Louisiana to secure a fair count of the votes,
they intend to aid in securing fair count pro-
vided that it gives the electoral vote to their
side, but In case it does not they intend to Sc
cure an unfair count. We need have no hesi-
tation in making this charge, since the Demo-
cratic papers have even gone so far as to show
US the precise nodts operandi of the thing.

be a comparatively light and easy task.
In such places the people have many things
in common, and are all engaged in some
business by which they are striving to gain
4 livelihood and amass . fortune. With
them government is incidental and useful
chiefly as protection to life and property.
Here, in District where the chief end OF
man is office making and Office holding,
the case is different. There is scarce a
man or woman resident among US who
does not deem him or herself fully eonpe-
tent to form and administer better govern
ment than any which Congress has ever
blessed US with. To satisfy such people
will require the best efforts aud utmost
patience of the Commission. And yet we

revC ling and inhumsn kind to carry out
their ends. Just now they are bent upon
restoring the enemies Of free government
to power, and their biased Judgments lead
them to the committal of the grossest ex-
cesses. MOI content with having carried
Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia
ard other rebel States by means Of the
''shot gun" and the horsewhip for ''Tilden

and now propose TO refuse certificates to
the few Congressmen who were elected
from strongly Republican districts in those
Commonwealths. Instead of having ex-
plated their treason on the gallows or been
forced to seek refuge in foreign countries,
they remain under the protection of the
Government, the recipients of an unde-
served clemency, and wage ceaseless
warfare against the loyalists OF the coun-
try, both white and black, merely because
they dare exercise the prerogatives of eiti-
zenship. Kemper, the arch traitor Of Vir-
ginia, is fit specimen Of the class of NAL
contents who, by their numerous oppres-
sIons, have cast q foul stigma upon our es-
cutcheon. Had Tilden been elected the
few Unionists remaining in Virginia would
in less than month have been driven
from her soil. Now, there is either rem

The Popular Majority.

IFrom the Albany Evening Journal
Very much is made by Governor Tilden's
friends of the fact that he has a popular
majority of 100000 or more. But where and
how does he get theml
He gets 5000 of it in Georgia. How!
Because Republicans are practically disfran-
chised. -Four years ago the Democratic
majority was only 900. Bot since then the
policy OF intimidation has prevailed, and the
majorities roll up to $4,000 or $4,000. They
mean not so much real majority, but simply
that the Republicans cannot or do not vote.
He gets another as, 900 of it from Kentucky.
That is double the legitimate Democratic
majority. There is not the same intimidation
in kentucky as in Georgia, but as the majority
is sure, the inducemeut to bring out the Re-
publican vote is wanting. To assume that
Kentucky has 5000 more votes for Tilden
than for Hayes would be manifestly wrong
it is simply not full vote. And Georgia and
Kentucky together furnish $780, 600 OF Tilden's
J0,Oo0 majority.
Again, be gets &C, 900 more OF it from Ala
bar and Mississippi, both of which are Re.
publican States upon fair vote. That por-
ton Of his majority, like the larger part of
what he gets from Georgia, is essentially
perversiop. Add Tennessee with its $4,000,
Texas with its 10000, and Arkansas with its
5000, and you have the considera BILE weights
on MIR. Tildeu's side. In New York his ma
jority comes from sections like the Five Points,
and, throwing them aside, the popular ma
jority would be Overwhelmingly for Hayes.
In Kentucky there are IS, 1925 white voters
who cannot write. In Georgia there are 2I,-
$780, in Missouri, 81, $50; in Virginia, 27,64G;
in Tennessee, S7,713; In Texas, 1906; and
there is where Mr.. Tilden gets his msjorities.
In the whole country there are 726, ,S75 white
males of 81 years and over who cannot write,
and Mr.. Tilden's popular majority among
them would be very much over $50 900.
Numbers count in the ballot box, but they
do not always count in the scales of solid, val
liable judgment. Go to the haunts of vice and
ignorance, poll the slums and the cutters, call
the rolls OF the Mackerelvilles of the North
and the Andersonyilies of the South, and Mr.
Tilden has large popular majority. But
count the churches, count the institutions of
learning, toGnt the reading communities, count
st. Lawrence instead of the Five Points, count
the Eleventh and Fourteenth wards of Albany
instead OF the Third and the Eighth, and the
popular majority is immensely for Hayes.
Measure the vote by character, and it is far
stronger for Hayes than, measured by numbers,
ii is for Tilden.
