Shall we give this party which has been

tion of any slave will be allowed. No claim
for any loss or damage incurred by disloyal
persons, arising from the late war, whether
covered by the fourteenth amendment or
not, will be recognized or paid. The cotton
tax will not be refunded. | shall deem it
my duty to veto every bill providing for the
assumption or payment of any debts, losses,
damages, claims, or for the retunding of any
such tax.
The danger to the National Treasury is
not from claims of persons who aided the
rebellion, but from claims of persons resid-
ing in the Southern States or having proper
ty in those States, who were, or pretended to
be.or who for the sake Of aiding claims now,
...o,,i. = :. lie been loyal to the Govern
pretenuCu 10 MAJ ~.- nt- q
ment Of the Union. Such C,aluns, even OF
loyal persons, where they are from acts caus-
ed by the operations Of war, have been dis
owned by the public law of civilised nations,
condemned by the adjudications of the Su.
preme Court of the United States, and only
find any status by force Of specific legislation
of Congress. These claims have become
stale and are often tainted with fraud They
are nearly always owned in wholesor in part
by claim agents, by spectators or lobbyists,
who have no equity against the taxpayers
or the public. They should, in all cases, be
scrutinised with jealous care.
The calamities to individuals which were
inflicted by the late war are, for the most
part, irreparable. The Government cannot
recall to life the million of our youth who
went to untimely graves, nor compensate the
suflerings or sorrow of their relatives anC
friends. 1t cannot readjust, between indi
vidaals, the burdens of taxation hitherto
borne, or of debts incurred to sustain the
Government, which are yet to be paid. I
cannot spportion anew among our citizens
the damages or losses incident to military
operations, or resulting in every variety o
form from its measures for maintaining it
own existence. 1t has no safe general rule
but to let by-gones be by-gones, to turn from
the dead past to a new and better future
and, on that basis to assure peace, reconcil
iation and fraternity between all sections
classes and races of our people, to the enc
that all the springs of our productive indus
tries may be quckened, and new prosperi
ty created in which the evils of the pas
shall be forgotten.

THE REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE FOR PRES
IUE\T

r. b. Hayes was member Of the Both
and Oth Congresses. During that time he
distinguished himself only by his votes for
subsidies and jobs. March 2, 1867, he voted
for bill making extra allowance to con-
tractors for iron clads, which the Secretary
of the Navy testified was backed by one of
the strongest lobbies he had ever seen. The
allowances were in addition to others already
made by government board. Mr.. Hayes
voted against the motion to postpone the
consideration of the bill against the motion
to lay on the table: and in favor of the bill.
An allowance was made under this bill
amounting to $3.50, 900, half of which went
to Robeson's friend Secor. Logan and
Schenck put through the House bill re-
storing the iron clad Comanche to its build
ers, by which $l79, 900 were taken from the
Treasury. The bill was denounced on the

House during Hayes membership, bntop-
only seven were the Democratic minority
able to force yea and nay vote. On all
seven Mr.. Hayes is recorded in favor of these
bills, and never by speech or vote against
them. The amount of land accruing to the
the Central, Union and Kansas Pacific roads
under these grants was $4,000, 900 acres, an
area almost equal to the whole of New Eng
land, and the amount of government bonds
issued to them was S64 100000 All of these
bills were opposed and most of them openly
denounced without effect upon Mr.. Hayes.
Mr.. Hayes only speech was made in expla.
nation of his favorable action on the Boulig-
ny claim which had been adjudged null and
void by the United States Supreme Court
twentyfour years before. Mr.. Washburne
(Republican), of Wisconsin, offered bill di
recting the suspension of the law, and said
that a more fraudulent claim was never pre-
sented to Congress.

Horatio Seymour says Men should not
seek to hand down sectional hate as her
tage to those who are coming upon the stage
of political action and merely to crafty
their passions. The Republicans do this be-
cause they are forced to do it to save them
selves from discussions fatal to them. This
Government cannot be well administered
until it acts in harmony with the change in
business and social habits brnutht about by

The Radical Programme in the Palmetto
Statn

The Radical programme for carrying South
Carolina for Hayes has now begun to devel-
Op itself At the moment when the exigcn-
cies of the campaign require the services of
every Democratic leader, then system of
sweeping arrests will be inaugurated, and
the men hurried away from their homes to
appear before the United States District
Court, to be held in Columbia on the 4th of
November. Difficulty in procuring bail and
lack of transportation facilities will then
prevent their returning to vote or to use
their influence in their respective counties
This programme is further borne out from
the fact that L. S. Marshal Wallace, whose
father is candidate for re election in the
Fourth Congressional district, now consid-
cred doubtful, is endeavoring to have that
district heavily garrisoned with troops, al
though no disturbance has been reported in
that section. The violent demonstrations OF
the negroes still continue, the colorcd State
militia holding their arms, and are now be-
apg supplied with ammunition by Chamber

DEMOCRATIC RETRENCHMENT IN A SIN
GLE YEAR.-The estimates made by the Re-
publican heads of departments for the cur
rent year amounted to s2O3,090,O25. The
Democratic House allowed them only $685.
752340, but the Senate increased it to $685.
26O, ,j9S. This sum was reduced by the House
to Sl477l0,074, which was the amount of
the appropriations actually made. The
House thus reduced the appropriations
$40 9,994.253 below those of the last year,
and $55,379 95I below the estimates of
this year. The reduction would have been
Sl0,00OO00 greater if 1t had not been for the
obstinacy of a factious Senate.

The New York Times, the Boston Jour

pers, advise the defeat of Ben Butler by the
Congressional District, in which he has re-
ceived the regular nomination. On the
other hand, Ben claims to be representa-
tive Republican" and he seems to have the
best of the argument. Republicanism is
Butlerism, and Butlerism was truly charac-
terized by Hon. John Young Brown, Of
Kentucky, as call that is mean, low and
despicable. and separated from all that is
honorable, manly, true or just"
