COMPELLING REPUBLICAN VICTORIES.

In July, 1874, when there was no preslden
tial election pending and when President
Grant didn't care "dern" whether Ames OF
Acorn was uppermost in Mississippi, Gov.
Ames applied to him for military aid to en-.
able him "to protect the colored people in
their right to VOTE, euphemism by which
he meant that he wanted the help of the gov.
eminent troops to compel a republican victory
in spite of the will of the people. Grant,
however, couldn't see IT, and directed Bel.
KNAPP to write to Ames as follows:
WASHINGTON, July 81, 1874
Hon. a. Ames, Jackson, Miss:
The contents of your dispatch has been sub
mitted To the president, and he declines to

able that the state itself is unable to suppress
it,
Now, however, when presidential election
is pending, Grant can order troops to be sent
TO all the southern states, though there is not
the slightest preteDse that anything remotely
resembling a state of insurrection exists or is
threatened there, and though no legislature or
ro'ernor has pretended to call tor them. A

But somehow the people wouldn't enthuse,
and he felt as ii his effort at each place was
worse than failure. In his dependency he
made the avowal that it was impossible To

The FREE TRADER Confesses TO having un.
consciously perpe,rated an outrage. 1t had
the assurance to suppose that the editor Of the
Ottawa Republican was capable of doing II
thing and properly characterize the
act of presidential candidate caught swear.
lis error The Republican in.
dignantly scouts the idea OF doing any such
thing. 1t admits having propagated, in a
very humanity" way, mean and dastardly
lie about Samuel J. Tilden having sworn to
a false income return; but when il IS proved
by the record that Rutherford b. Hayes did
swear TO false tax return, the Republican
utterly denies having admitted the fact or
characterized it otherwise than as a very pro
per and innocent act.
The Republican is doubly indignant be-
cause the FREE TRADER, by altering few
words in an editorial of that sheet, changed
a very dirty, lying paragraph into one emf
nently decent and truthful. The FREE IRA
DER, however, did not indicate either in
words or by the use of a colon, as the Repub
itcdR falsely alleges, that the paragraph, as
thus improved, was copied from the RepubH
can Had we even done SO, no man in his
senses, knowing Cullen, could have been de-
ceyed. for he would have known that he was
wholly incapable of inditing paragraph as
honest and truthful 1t would palsy his
hand 20 write such honest truth and burn a
hole in his paper to print ii. Our only OBJ.
ject in fashioning the paragraph from the
Republican, was, withou, any allusion to the
source from which we took 1t, 10 demonstrate
how easy 1t would have been Tor Cullen to
tell the truth while he was utterlng a shame
less and exploded falsehooi.

HAYES A ACCOMMODATING.

| a week or two ago the New York World
made the remark that Hayes, the republican
candidate for the presidency, had, during the
know-nothing excitement some years ago, ex-
pressed his deep sympathy for the cause,
and favored an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the L. S. limiting suffrage and the
| right to hold Office 10 persons born in this
country.
Thereupon Mr.. Charles Gardner, of Gin.
cinnati, one Of Mr.. Hayes earnest personal
and political friends, fires up and writes the
World an indignant letter, denying that
Hayes ever sympathized with the know-noth
ings, and rashly adding: "It you can prove
1t, do so, and make one vote tor your trouble
for, though a republican, l shall vote for Mr.
lildcn if what you say Of Mr.. Hayes is true
To which the World rejoins as follows:
We think that Mr.. Gardner will vote fol
IilGen. And this is why:
The American Alliance" adopted a series
OF resolutions which saiG Of the nominations
of Messrs Hayes and Wheeler that they were
thereby endorsed by the American Alliance
conference, and the Alliance earnestly adj
vised all who are in favor OF American prln
ciples, as 0dc0cdted and set forth IN these reS0
Iuti0nS, to give these nominations an active
and determined support
'"Ihese resolutions" were sent to Mr. Hayes
who returned the following reply, dated July
3, 1876, addressed to Samuel j. Tyler, secrc
tary of the American Alliance"
Il have just received your letter informing
me OF my election as a member of your adj
mirdJI6 alliance. Return my thanks 10 the
alliance, as deepiy Sympathtze riM its prtn.
ctples. l remain your fellow'citlzen,
r. b. HAYES
Now here is one expression of the primer.
pies" of the alliance Of which Mr., Hayes is
proud to be member and with which he
deeply sympathiZes:'
"An amendment to the naturalization laws
limiting suffrage to persons born in this coun.
try or of American parents; the election of
dmertcdR.6OrR citizens 0nly to otictdt positions
in this country; opposition TO the interference
of the Roman Catholic organizations in the
political affairs of the nation, and opposition
to- the formation of political organizations
composed exclusively of foreign.born citl.
zens"
We may add to this that ten days ago a
forelgn-born citizen OF Brooklyn wrote to Mr..
Hayes, asking him If it was true that he held
to such know-nothing views, and that Mr..
Hayes thus far had not deigned to reply-or
10 return the stamps enclosed him for an an
swer.
And now will not Mr.. Charles Gardner
give us that vote for Tilden?
Wouldn't 1t be good idea for Carl Schurz,
when expounding TO mis- countrymen Mr..
Hayes peculiar qualifications as civil ser,
vice reformer, to tell them how he makes ex.
clusion of foreign-born citizens from Office a
prominent feature OF his proposed civil ser
vice reform?

MORE REFORM,

When the government at Washington, at
the outbreak of the rebellion in 1861, needed
faithful, reliable man at New Orleans to
guard the custom house from being robbed
by rebel office holders they sent down VIM
Hemphill Jones, who got away every dollar
and every valuable paper weeks after 1t was
worth mans life to be union man in New
Orleans. 1t was to this man that Dix wrote
his famous letter in 1861: "If any man at
tempt to haul down the American flag, shoot
him on the srot." Well, Mr.. Jones, though
connected with the treasury department at
Washington for the last % years, had always
been democrat, but on account of his con.
spicous faithfulness and ability, every at.
tempt within the last eight years to remove
him had been vetoed by President Grant. OF
late, however, Grant has turned over the bus
mess OF appointing and removing officials to
the dictatIon of that eminent civil service
reformer, Hayes" and when Zach Chandler
called on Jones for his % per cent. contribu-
ton to the republican electioneering fund,
and Mr.. Jones said "he wasn't that kind of q
man." Hayes, or those who run the machine
for him, Immediately issued the order, "Of
with his head" and this exceptionally faith
full and competent officer, whom Lincoln and
Grant had retained and who has grown grey
in the public service, was kicked out like a
common deadbeat. Isn't it lovely this civil
service reform, as understood by Chandler,

A VERDANT STUMPER.

The editor of the Morris Herald, who has
been nominated as the republican candidate
for congress in this district, is now publish
ing his stump speech in sections as leading
editorials in his paper The last Herald has
one of these speech editorials filling four
solid columns 1t is quite II curiosity in its
way, and as stump speech as unique
as an Artemus Ward lecture, though less en-
tcrtaining. He starts off in this way:
Among the various charges, which the
Democracy make against the Republican
party, is the charge of corruption, They say
that the Republican party, in its admln'stra-
ton of public affairs, has proven itself party
of dishonesty and rascaliiy-that the people
have been robbed of their money, and that
the government has been run in the interest
Of rascals and dishonest men. Well, these
are grave charges, and if tenth part of them
is true, we ought to be ashamed to hold II
single political meeting during the present
campaign.
Just So That is exactly what the demo.
Gratis charge and what ,hcy think about it.
How does Mr. Hayes meet the charges? He
don't undertake to meet them at all, but
says:
Notwithstanding all these charges, we re.
publicans are rather inclined to have faith IN
the Republican party. We are, In fact, proud
of our party. We are proud OF the record 1t
has made, proud OF the victories 1t has
achieved, and proud of the grand and noble
principles it has advocated and established.
And so on. No-Mr. Hayes does not un'
dertakc to meet the charges Of endless cor.
ruption brought against his party, but he un,
dertakes to offset them against similar cor
ruptions in the democratic party away back
in the days of Jackson, Van Buren, and Polk

ranks but was as sound democrat as Sammy

Horatio Seymour having declined the
democratic nomination for governor of New
York, the convention re-assembled at Sara
toga on Tuesday and unanimously nominated
Lucius NJ Robinson in his stead. The NOM
ination of Robinson is admitted 10 be an ex-
cellent one; and is said to have been largely
influenced by the personal desire of Tilden.
Robinson was not, as some have said, re-
publican in the decent days of that party, but
was always a democrat. He was the demo-
cratic candidate for comptroller in 1865, and
IN 1868 was candidate for congress, making
good run in strong republican district.
He is a business man of the highest standing,
and as such will draw the support of the
business men of New York city, on whom
such large calculations were made for Nor

NEGRO INTIMIDATION AT THE SOUTH.

AS an evidence of the fact that 1t is Repub-
licans who practice intimidation in the South,
and in proof of the charge that all the trou-
bles between the races in the Southern States,
are brought about by deslngning Republican
politicians who use the negroes as their tools,
the following accouot of the Charleston Riot,
from the New York Herald, is conclusive:
In every Southern State the colored voters
are joining Tilden and Hendricks clubs. In
Alabama and Arkansas they went peaceably
to the polls and voted the Democratic ticket
by thousands. 1t is evident that the negroes
have learned, that under the Democratic rule
as in Georgia, Arkansas and Alabama, their
property is protected, and their rights guard
ed, while In those States under Radical rule,
they are used by political Adventures for
their own ends They are therefore joining
the Democratic party in large numbers, in
every Southern State.
The Republican leaders have become
alarmed at this detection, and the order has
gone forth to stop II, by bloodshed if necessa.
nv. Attorney General Taft has issued an or
der intended to convince the negroes of the
power of the Administration to enforce its
will. Twenty thousand stand of arms are
sent to Charleston. The riot Of yesterday Is
the first result of this policy. Every colored
Democrat is marked man, and threatened
with death. The National Democratic Com
mttee are in the daily receipt of letters from
colored men in the South, saying that they
an even refused communion In their churches
If they vote the Democratic ticket. One col
ored man writes I'VE have to be very Sc.
cret; if it were known that we were Demo
Gratis, our wives would refuse to live with u.s."
Negro Democratic speakers are threatened
with assassination, and reign OF terror is
inaugurated, with Tie deliberate purpose of
checking the expression OF Democratic sentl.
ment among the negroes.
That there is no conflict between the negro
and white races in the South except such as
is created aud kept alive by Republicans for
political purposes, is absolutely proven by
the harmony existing between the races
wherever the Democracy is IN the ascen-
lenCN.

BOSS TWEED CAPTURED.

Boss Tweed, accompanied by a young
man giving his name as William Hunt, was
arrested on the eth inst. at Vigo in Spain,
where he had arrived on board the Spanish
sailing vessel Carmen, from Santiago Cuba.
HIS arrest was made by order of the Cover
nor of the province in which Vigo is situated,
and he was at once turned over to the Aneri-
can authorities. Tweed Is supposed to be
now on his way to the L. S. and will soon be
handed over to the authorities of New York.
The way of his arrest was this:
1t was found in July last that Tweed was
IN Santiago de Cuba, having passed there
from Havana Gen. Jovellar was applied to
bv the American consul 10 have Tweed Sc
cured and sent to the United States Gen.
Jovellar was quite willing, even in the alb
sence of an eX,radition treaty, to obligc the
American government in return for the cour-
tesy In Arguette's case, some years ago.
Tweed however, was apprised In Santiago
of his impending danger, and sailed for Vigo,
Spain, on July 81. on board the sailing vessel
Carmen. Mr.. Cushing thereupon notified
the Spanish government of the fact and
found them willing to arrest Tweed and re-
turn him to Cuba, or deliver him up to the
American consul. Every precaution was
taken by the Spanish government to secure
Tweed's arrest in any part OF Spain, or on
any coast.line by which he might arrive. On
Sept the Carmen hove in sight OF Vigo,
and was Immediately boarded by the COVER
nor of Pontevedra. The governor at once
recognized Tweed from the photographs
which he had in his possession for some time
previous to the arrival of the fugitves.
Tweed was entered on the ships papers un-
der the name of Secor, and was accompanied
by man giving his name as William Hunt,
who is said to be his nephew Both were im-
mediately secured and thrown into the Gala
bozo under strong guard, but were subse.
quently transferred, by order, to fortress in
Vigo, under command of the captain general.
