TiIden's Letter.
What the New York Sun says of
Gov. Tilden's letter

What the New York Sun says OF
Gov. Tilden's letter
Gov. Tilden's letter of acceptance is
the strongest, clearest, ablest, most
statesmanlike, most suggestive, and
most satisfactory political document
that has been laid before the public
within long period of time. 1t dis
plays breadth of mind, keenness oi
perception, and fullness OF knowledge
in the discussion of the great political
questions of the present public inter-
est. 1t is agreeable, in these times, to
peruse paper of such a character
from a public man. Hayes's small
narrow, and commonplace letter was
a marked contrast to it in every res
pect.
Gov. Tilden's letter is as bold as il
is perspicacious. He shirks none of
the issues of the day. He INDUCES in
no evasions, tricks of language, or pre-
tences of any kind. His friends will
be strengthened by the study of it, and
his assailants will find in it no point
which they can shake.
Gov. Tilden accepts, strengthens
and illustrates the various important
articles of the St. Louis platform on
which he stands and to the more i'm
portant of them he gives a force and
defniteness which are made all the
more striking by his elucidation of the
ways in which they be practically ap
piled in the conduct of the Govern
ment.

TfIden and the Canal Ring.

Two years ago the State was SPEND
ing money at the rate Of s2,000,000 8
year-$l ,89e, IA in the year beginning
September !, 1S74-for extraordinary
repairs on the canals; for five years be-
fore the State had been spending money
at the rate in all Of $1,000, 900 q year
for useless expenditures on its water
ways. The money was appropriated
in the interests ofthe Canal Ring, un-
der bills passed by legislatures which
the Canal King owned, signed BY goy-
ernors the Canal Ring Influenced, and
spent by officers whom the Canal Ring
nominated. By Governor Tilden's re-
forms the tax for extraordinary repairs
IN the current year was reduced to
nothing. and reductions on canal ap-
propiati0ns were made in other direc-
tions amounting 10 81 ,033,974. In all,
the State spent in 1875, ~, ,93l AIS less
for canal purposes than in 1874. Gov
ernor Tilden claimed in his canal
message that this reduction could be
made without injuring the canals. The
apOlogists Of the ring claimed that it
could not. The report Of State Engi-
neer Van Buren's inspection, given in
our Albany correspondence, shSws that
Governor Tilden was right. The canal
Is in better condition with less money
than ever before. What Governor
Tilden has done for the State Treas
nry, be car do for the National
Treasury. He will ran the Goyera-
ment cheaper. He will run the Gov
ernment better.-Nes0 York World,

Gov. Chamberlain, of South Carolina
wants troops. He wants them, Of
course, to protect the colored people.
The government of that State is entire
ly in the hands Of the colored people.
They control its entire machinery-the
laws, the courts, the arms, the militia,
the police. They have a majority
which the white men do not pretend
to be able to overcome. But it is pro-
claimed that they can not protect them
selves. Against the consequences of
their lawless acts. The worstelements
of the coIored population combine TO
commit outrages, and the best elements
of the whites assist the officer of the
law to arrest and punish them. There
fore, Gov. Chamberlain calls for troops
that they may be encouraged and pro-
tected in lawlessnsss. This is the old
story and the old game.-AtldntG

What DR.. TalImadge Saws.

DIR. De Witt Tallmadge, the cele-
brated Baptist orator of Brooklyn,
was recently on visit to North Caro-
lima, and since his return home writes
as follows in regard to the state of feel
ing in the South:
Notwithstanding what some Of the
politicians say, we believe the feel
ing of cordiality on the part of the
South toward the North is almost uni
yersal. There are more bitter and
bloodthirsty men at the North who need
reconstruction than at the South.

The Law Of Horse Hire.

1t has been decided that when a
horse or carriage is to let out for hire
for the purpose Of performing a par
tlcular journey, the party letting war
rants the horse or carriage ft and
competent for such q journey. IL the
hirer treats the horse or carriage as
any prudent man would do, he is not
answerable for any damage that either
may receive. But he must use the
horse for the purpose for which he
hired him. For instance, horse
hired for saddle must not be used in
harness. If the hirer violates this
express condition Of the contract, he
is liable for any damage that may oc-
cur. If the horse is stolen through
the hirer's negligence, such as leaving
the stable door open all night, he must
answer for it. But if he is robbed of
1t by highwaymen, when travelling the
usual road at usual hours, he cannot
be held for damages. As these ques-
tions are frequently in dispute, these
decisions may be interesting.

Loud applause.]
ChurGh-GOing One Hundred Years
Ago.

If we would form vivid conception
of the state of things one hundred
years ago, we must lose sight of the
wonderful inventions and discoveries,
the conveniences and comforts, that
distinguish the present age we must
forget, for the time, our national great
ness-the towns, cities and States that
have sprug up as if by magic; we
must look out upon an almost unbro-
ken wilderness, and see the brave and
hardy pioneer engaged in leveling for
ests, contending with wild beasts and
savage men, and in the midst of perils
and priYations, laying the foundation
of civil, religious and educational in
stitutions, which are the glory of the
present period.
When we think of church going, we
must forget the fashionably-dressed
and undisturbed assemblages of the
present, and imagine great congrega-
tions of people assembled in the woods,
Gods first temple, thereto praise and
worship their Creator-the men, and
sometimes the women, armed, and
keeping watch at distance lest prowl-
ing savages should rush upon them
with tomahawk and scalping knife.
We must forget our splendid city ca
thedrals, with their stained glass win
dows, cushioned seats, and brilliant
chandeliers, and think of rude, long
buildings, such as the early settlers
were accustomed to worship in, rooted
with clap-boards and seated with
rough benches, without any stoves or
heating apparatus of any kind; for, in
those days, the people regarded even
q stove as needless provision for the
flesh, an innovation upon well-estab-
lished customs of GOODNESS, and even
desecration Of Gods house. They ex-
pected the ministers to warm them
selves up by their preaching, and this
they often did.
1t is related that one very cold day,
while Rev. John Mcmillan, of Char
tiers, Pa, was preaching in his log
church, the people disturbed him by
shuffling their feet in order to keep
them warm. He stopped his sermon
and told the congregation he would
give them a few minutes to knock the
snow off their shoes, after which he
would resume his service ard expect
to proceed without any more noise.
If are to believe the traditions
of the fathers, carefully handed down
in various localities, it would seem
that in more than one place the new
stove even without fire, produced
much heat, Paintings, conflicts and d.
versions; and an instructive chapter
might be written upon the single topic
upon the progress made within the
limits of the century, as shown in the
changes and improvements made in
lighting and warming our churches.

The July report of the department

The July report of the department
of agriculture has the following
The acreage IN tobacco in 1876 ap-
pears to be less than in 1875. Our re-
ports exhibit some very remarkable
variations in the areas planted in the
different States. Nearly all the great
tobacco regions have planted smaller
breadth than last year. Massachusetts,
has fallen off 20 per cent, Connecticut
5 per cent, New York 3 per cent,
Maryland 6 per cent, Virginia 80 per
cent, North Carolina So per cent,
Tennessee 80 per cent, Kentucky l6
per cent, Ohio, 3 per cent, Indiana 8
per cent, and Illinois 8 per cent. On
the other hand Pennsylvania has in
creased her acreage 22 per cent, Texas
and Arkansas each 32 per cent, Mis-
souri, II per cent, and Kansas 10 per
cent.
The condition of the crop in all the
States reporting is about 3 per cent.
below average. The highest condition,
105, is found in Connecticut and Texas;
and the lowest, 81, in North Carolina
and Wisconsin. The New England
and Middle States are full average or
above. Virginia accounts for her
diminished area and low condition, 50,
by the scarcity of plants, which were,
in numerous localities, destroyed by
drought, frost, flies, and grasshoppers.
The same difficulty embarrassed the
planting in North Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky though in some coun-
ties of the last named excessive rain
was as injurious as the drought. North
of the Ohio River heavy rains injured
lowland crops. Missouri and Kansas
succeeded in getting in large crops
which are in fine condition. A more
extended inquiry will be instituted
hereafter, and the results will be given
more in detail.
