The Cnmpaign Ln lIaine.

We have been taking a survey OF
the political field, and everywhere
we find the same thing prevailing;
unamity and confidence in the Dem
ocratic camp, discussions and mis-
givings in the tents of the Republi-
cans. In no section of the land do
we find the apathy Of the lattermore
apparent than in the State ofMaine.
This being one of the greatest strong
holds of the Administration forces,
we were astonished at what we saw,
and set about to ascertain the reasons.
We were not long in discovering that
all the absence Of emotion in favor OF
the Cincinnati ticket was owing to
the strong personal attachment exist
ing towards him, who for so long a
time represented the State in the
House of Representatives, and to
whom has just been entrusted its in
tcrests in Senate. These friends and
adherents of Mr.. Blaine cannot over
look the injustice displayed towards
their leader by the factions which
have always proved willing to do the
biddingoftheir master, Grant. These
tools of the President, recognizing in
the representative from Maine, a
statesman of higher qualities than
any to which they could lay claim,
delighted in the task allotted to them,
and by every means that they could
command, however INSCRIPTIONS, de-
termined to effect their object. Thus
wasa combination formed Of elements
wholly incongruous and antagonistic
and a man whom they knew would
be plant tool in their hands,
placed upon the ticket in the stead
of him who had manifested such
strength as aroused their jealousy
and fear. Blaine was remorsely pur-
sued and ruthlessly slaughtered in
their greed for power, and a man
whom they could command put in
the place which all the better ele-
mtnts of the party desired to see the
ex-speaker occupy. This is the reas-
why his friends feel sore, and do not
show any zeal in their support Of the
candidates foisted on them. W.

Virginia NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Hayes, Gel Up and Tell us
what Has Become Of That 500.
Special Correspondence Gin. Enquirer.
INDEPENDENCE, KAs., Aug. IA, '76.
Consides fable sensation was created
here last Saturday nightat the organ
ization of the Tilden and Hendricks
Club by the unexpected continuation
of the statements of Rev. w. w. Har-
per, late Chaplain of the Thirteenth
West Virginia Volunteers, in regard
to General Hayes having appropria-
ted to himself s400 belonging to
soldier who was shot at Monocacy
Junction during the war Hon. VIM.
Dunkin addressed the Club, and in
his remarks stated that the Republic
ans were in the habit Of representing
Mr.. Tilden as the personification of
corruption and Mr., Hayes as the en-
bodimcnt of purity. He had read a
statement recently made by the late
Chaplain of the Thirteenth West
Virginia Volunteers, w. w. Har-
per, to the effect that Mr.. Hayes had
appropriated to himself $500 which
belonged to soldier who was execut-
cd for dcscrtion. Ifthe statement was
true, then Mr.. Hayes was unworthy
of public confidence. If it was false,
then Mr.. Hayes ought to be vindica-
ted. As the Colonel of the Thirteenth
West Virginia Volunteers was pres
ent, he appealed to him to know if
the statement of Chaplain Harper
was worthy of credence.
GENERAL WILLIAM n, BROWN,
Who commanded the Thirteenth
West Virginia Volunteers, being
present, was called upon to state
what he knew of the case, TheGen
eral seemed very much embarrassed,
and regretted that he should have
been called upon to say anything
in regard to the matter, lie was n
personal friend of General Hayes,
had visited at his house and enjoyed
his hospitality, He would not say a
word to reflect upon his character
But inasmuch as he had made a state
ment in regard to the matter several
weeks since, before it appeared in the
newspapers, he could not avoid max.
inganoXplanation, Hesaidthat Har.
per was the chaplain of his regiment,
and was entirely trustworthy He

INC Order to lIle Arnly.

The latest order of Grant, through
his Secretary of War, to General
Sherman, is one which must natur-
ally cause uneasiness in the mind Of
every patriotic American citizen
Almost before the doors of Congress
are closed, the General in command
of the army is directed to hold in
readiness for immediate service all
his available force, and to have such
force $50 distributed and stationed as
to be able torender prompt assistance
in the enforcement ofthe law. Here
is certainly an element of danger to
the liberties of the people, The
army is an agency by which the peo-
pie may be restrained in the free ex-
ercise of their rights, but it can new
er be employed to increase their lib
critics. AS a means Of enforcing law
in time of peace, the military power
is very unsafe engine to employ
At such times the Courts of law and
the civilQrmarelh eagency to enforce
it. This order necessgtily dcpriyes
both these b,ssrhes Of their proper
prerogatives. BY issuing it the Pres
ident arrOgates to himself the pro
vince of Interpretation as well as en-
forcement, and proclaims himself at
once Dictator. This is dangerous
ground for him to occupy, for Ameri-
can citizens have gained their free
dom at too much cost of treasure and
of blood, to lightly yield them now.
One other question, however, will be
likely to be brought into prominence
by this proceeding, and that is,
whethere it is advantageous to the
country that the President should be
commander-in-chief of the army. If
there is possibility of his using the
soldiers, as a means of increasing
and solidifying his power, OR even as
a lever for the promotion of party
political schemes, the sooner the
temptation to do so is removed from
him the better.

Why don't Bro. Tippett employ

lungs, to travel over the country and
yell four hundred dollars? He would
then have room for something else in

1t is just as good matter as we
want in our paper. We know it is a
heavy load on the Radical stomach,
and of course they do not like to see

Who are Democrats.

The man who is true to the princi-
pies of the Democratic party, feels
that when he goes to the polls to vote
it is for the ascendancy Of party prin-
ciples, whoever may be the candidate.
If he has a personal enemy aspiring
for office, or if he discerns the posi-
BILE nomination of what he deems an
unworthy man for an official position,
it is his province to use every honor
able means to defeat the nomination;
but that nomination once made, it
becomes the duty of every Democrat
to yield his prejudices and personal
objections to the majority view, and
enter heartily into the election of the
nominee. This is especial the duty
of every one who aspires to leader
ship. Being a pronounced believer
in the vital and fundamental princi,
pies of the party, he is not a safe
leader who sacrifices principles tc
personal enmities.
