HAYES ACCEPTANCE.

Governor Hayes letter accepting the
Republican nomination for the Presi-
iency is published. Among other things
he says:
The moral ard national prosperity OF
the Southern States can be most effect
ally advanced by the hearty aud geDer-
Gus recognition of the rights Of all by oil
"a recognition without reserve or excep-
ton. With snch recognition fully ac-
corded II will be practicable to promote,
by the influence of all the legitimate
agences OF the General Government, the
efforts OF the people of those States to
obtain for themselves the blessings of
honest and capable local government.
II elected shall consider il not only my
duty, but it will be my ardent d. sire TO
labor for the attainment OF this end.
Let mo assure my countrymen of the
Southern States that il shall be- charged
with the duty of organizing an admins
tra'ion, IL will be one which will r. gard
and cherish the truest interests of the
whites and OF the colored people, both
and equally. and which will wipe ont for
ever all distinction between the North

With the civil service organized upon
o system which will secure purity, ex-
perience efficiency and economy. with
strict regard for the public welfare solely
in the appointments, and q speedy,
thorough and unsparing prosecution and
punishment of all public officers who be-
tray their official trusts; with sound
currency; with education unsectarian
and free to all; with simplicity and
frueality in public and private affairs,
and with fraternal spirit Of harmony
prevailing among the people of oil sec
tons and classes, we may reasonably
hope that the second century OF our ex-
isience as nation will. by the blessing
OF God, be pre- eminent as the era Of
good feeling and the period Of progress.
prosperity and happiness.
This reads like the modestly ex.
pressed sentiments OF thoroughly
earnest man and true patriot. There
is no clap.trap or political demagoguery
about ii. On the subject of reform and
, civil service he says:
Reforms should be thorough. radical
and complete. We should return to the
principles and practices of the founders
of the Government, supplying by legis.
lation, when needed, that which was
formerly the established custom. They
neither expect nor desire from public
officers any partisan service. They
meant that public officers should give
their whole service to the Government
and to the people. They meant that the
officer should be secure in his term as
long as his personal character remained
untarnished and the performance of his
duties satisfactory. II elected I shall
conduct the administration OF the Gov
eminent upon these principles. All the
constitutional powers vested in the Ex-
ecutive will be employed to establish
this reform.

STRAY THOUGHTS.

Few old men, as they halt OF one Of
life's milestones and look back along the
oft.times dreary road, would, il 'twere
in their power, do over again all they
had done. As with men 30 with nations.
Though national az well as individual
life Is counted as much by sudden pulsa.
ton as figures on times dial. yet, at
times. a retrospect is taken. ii for no
other reason than as shaper OF future
course and point to compute from. A
few days ago the country halted and
looked back along thedusty track. Every
eye was turned backward. every though
reverted to the past. Eloquence was tx.
hausted in contrasting the America of
1876 with the America OF the Revolution.
Joy ruled the hour, and justly too, for
the occasion was one OF joyful remem.
brance. But amid the echoes OF the day
and its universal celebration comes other
thoughts as the nation once more faces
to the front and resumes its onward
march OF destiny. As nothing exists in
nature without its counterpoise and OPP
posite, SO must the period of rejoicing
have its negative quality exemplihed in
grsvsr moods Of thought. There are
most unquestionably "rocks ahead, 4"

clear OF them II We fail to temper our
sxhilaration with due need OF humili.

the germs Of sore defeat should future
events quicken them into life. Certain

The Isla nd OF Java--Rev. DIR.
Field Describes 1t.

Java is q part of the world not very Of
ten visited by English or American trav-
elers. The English who go to the East
confine themselves chiefly to their own
colonies. and if they go into the South
ern hemisphere at all, are more likely
to make a voyage to Australia than to
stop in the Malayan Archipelago. Ameri-
can travellers are apt to follow the pre-
scribed route. Even OF those who make
the tour around the world, ninety-nine
in a hundred 90 from China to India. or
from India to China. by way of Singa-
pore, without turning aside to visit the
great island which lies few degrees
sonth of the equator. But once in a
while one more enterprising than the
rest ventures across the line, and is we'll
repaid for his trouble.
The Rev. DR.. Field Of this city, who
has been more than ayear travelling in
Europe and the East, and whose last let
several weeks in the Island of Java, and
writes home TO the Evangelist in glow
ing terms of its natural beauty and his
torical interest. He Gays it is the most
beautiful island in the world. Ii is vol
canic in its origin, and lofty chain of
mountains run through it from east to
west, which is distinctly visible from
the sea, and gives rugged and grand
appearance to the outline Of the coast.
As to the interior, he ssys nothing in
the glens and mountains of Scotland is
more wildly beautiful than the noun.
tains and valleys in the interior Of Java.
The country is thickly inhabited and
there are many towns, with large open
squares in the center, shaded by trees
like our elms, which reminded him,
in, their quiet, peaceful beauty. Of
places in New England, such as North
ampton and others in the Connecticut
Valley. He had gone far in the interior
among the mountains ard been the CUES,
Of one of the native princes. He had
also visited the ruins OF ancient Buddhist
temples which are three thousand years
old, and are so vast in extent that they
have been compared to the pyramids Of
Egypt.
DR.. Field says that there cannot be 6
greater contrast than that between tht
Island of Java and Cuba-both in the
tropics-both blessed with great natura
fertility, but one cursed with Spanish
rule and in chronic state OF rebellion
and revolution, while the other, undel
Dutch rule, has fifteen millions OF PEG
pie, all living in quietness and abund
ance-all peaceful, industrious ant
happy.

MAKE 1T LEGAL TENDER.

The present status Of the silver market
is without precedent in history. And il
resolves itself = at least to the people of
Nevada Into this question. Are Ger
man statutes going TO have the effect OF
closing mills and furnaces. and paralyz-
ing the great mining Industry Because
. foreign power has seen fit to degrade
and disgrace a precious metal. it does
not follow that our Government mus,
silently acquiesce and permi, the same
results to ensue on this Coast that took
place three years ago on the Atlantic
Coast. There is but one alternative left.
Make silver legal tender for all debts
public and private, lnteres. bearing
bonds and every description of indebted.
ness Of any character whatsoever. but
that would be reputation; the Govern
ment is pledged to pay its debts in gold"
1t is q mistake. Among the many crude
ideas and confused notions prevalent, is
the mistaken. one that the U. S. Govern
ment is obliged by force OF con-
tract specific and otherwise, to pay
its bonds in gold. Yet such idea is or.
roueous. The United States never
promised to pay in gold and is not held
bound in any way to do so. After the
civil war had closed the public creditors
OF the United States were afraid that
popular sentiment would be in favor OF
paying the public debt in greenbacks.
To quiet uncertainty and allay oil fears,
Congress. on March 18th. 1869 enacted a
law entitled IAN Act to strengthen the
Public Credit" This act pledged the
Government to pay all obligations in
coin or its equivalent. There was nc
mention Of gold. but tho idea has 20.
abroad that geld alone can be applied to
the liquidation Of Government indebted
ness. At the time this bill was passed
silver dollars as we'll as gold dollars
were legal tender for any amount. Hence
1t follows as the night the day that the
national debt can bs paid in silver. Thai
It ought to be paid in silver is now self
evident. At first sight it looks some.
what fimsy and with tendency to re-
pudiation but it is not. The measure
would be perfectly legal, in full accord
ance with the tenure of the Act and az
ford an instantaneous aud lasting relief
to the present untoward aspect Of affairs.

CURIOUS SCENE AT NAPoLEoN's FU-

articles, entitled Napoleon at st. He

ants. which have been appearing in the
ST. James Magazine. have now come to
an end with the death OF the Emperor.
Francis Stewart, the narrator, gives a
curious account of scene which took
place at the funeral Of Napoleon; II had

to his son, Napoleon II. The heart was

neither had sufficient stomach to kiss
the heart, although Napoleon had been a
kind master and benevolent friend to
me.

occasion for praying to the devil to take
Your soul and heart, because he has had
