The Alleged Plano Frauds.

We print letter this morning from Mr.
George T. Bristow, the composer and one of
the judges of award at the Centennial Ex-
position, defending himself against imputa-
tions affecting his official conduct, and one
also from the Steinways, denying that Mr..
Schiedmayer has any business relations with
their house. All this is well enough as far
as it goes, but it seems to us it does not go
far enough. Since the pinno has become an
article Of necessity rather than of luxury
three things ought to be assured-namely,
that the price at which the instrumen. is
sold is not exorbtant that the instrument
is well and honestly made; and that the
name of the maker shall be an unerring guido
TO the gcnuineness of the manufacture An
much to put the piano trade on a sound
basis and drive the dishonest dealers out of
the business, and an honest award is what
is wanted. The best piano ought to be
awarded the first place, and no award should
be made except upon grounds of merit
which everybody can understand. This we
fear, has not been done, or, if it has, it was
under circumstances not satisfactory TO some
of the most reputable manufacturers.
Winning and wircpulling have been too freely
employed by some of those expecting awards
with the persons able to give them, and al
together there is an air about these transac-
tons which needs explanation. Mr.. Bris-
tow's letter was not necessary to make MS
believe in his integrity, and the letter Of the
Steinways clearly establishes that Schied-
mayer is not their private European agent;
but these things arc only minor features in

ELEcrIoNEERINo EccExrRIcrr1Es - The
democrats have singular way of conduct
ing political campaign. As soon as
Presidential contest commences they start
out on Ku Klux expeditions, and indulge in
the sport of shooting the colored people
of tho South. Of course their obi ect must
be to impress upon the country a sense of
tho democratic hatred OF the black race, and
to afford guarantee that if in power they
would institute the new national sport of negro
hunting: At all other periods they treat
the freedmen well, endeavor to advance their
interests and to improve them morally and
intellectually, and strive to reconcile them
selves and their former slaves to the new
order of things. The colored people of the
South, singularly enough, trust them and
begin to vote with their old masters. The
fact that these terrible democratic outrages
always commence about election time and
continue during campaign is, however,
undeniable, since all the republican news
papers are full of them, and it may be
looked upon as one of the most curious Of
the many eccentricities of politics.
The New York herald., 1876-07-19

party. New ideas-free trade, finance, CEN
tralization, the adjustment Of the new condi-
tions to the old system-would have led to
new party divisions, in which neither color
nor race nor war records would have had q
part But, on the contrary, the Southern
leaders carried the war spirit into politics.
They alarmed the North. They gave demo-
gogues like Morton and Thaddeus Stevens
the opportunity of saying, ''The Confeder-
ates wish to obtain by politics what they
failed to obtain by the war" So the alarmed
North began to pass war measures and
amendments to the constitution, every
one of which threw the Southern people
into worse plight, and which to-day
are the imnutable laws Of the land.
They are immutable. and it is not in Til
den's power to change them. Nay, more /; if
he were to intimate a desire to change them
he would be whipped in every Northern
State. What, then, is the true policy of the
Southern leaders =? Plainly, to conciliate
both parties. Let them take the republicans
at their word. Let them accept the issues
of the war as irrevocable, and say to the two
great parties, "We want peace and recon-
struction. We want help. We need n re-
vival of commerce and of agriculture. You
took from as thousands of millions in the
war; give as aid to build our cities, open our
channels, improve our harbors; help us to
plant cotton and sugar and rice and
tobacco. Take our industries and re-
sources under your care, just as you
care for the iron of Pennsylvania. the
silver of Nevada, the gold of California.
We accept the negro in his new relation and
recognize his political equality. We accept
the carpet-bagger, and wish we had o million
more to pay taxes and work and become like
all of MS, who at one time or the other were
carpet-baggers ourselves. AS to the war
issues, they have given us trouble always. If
you choose at some future day, when pas
ing with each other, to have national con-
vention of peace and reconstruction to con-
slider these issues from national point of
view, we are ready. But we understand
that this must come from you as people,
and not from one party or the other"
If our Southern friends would only look at
the canvass from this point Of view it would
be blessing to them and the country.
Their cause is national. They have no
grievances that any party can redress. Their
policy is to conciliate both parties, to show
kindness to the negro, courtesy to the emf
grant and consideration to all opinions
They should especially decline to be carried
around by political pedlers to be sold as
old clothes. They have as much to gain by
the success of one party as the other, and if
they are wise with the wisdom that once
ruled these Commonwealths they will so act
that no matter which party wins they will
share in the victory.

THE OLD SOUTH CHURCH in Boston has

worth preserving for its associations. but
without these the bricks and mortar are

that Spain is determined to secure as many

In such case our sympathes are with the

A Friendly Suggestion to tho Demo-
cratic Candidate.

If Mr.. Tilden, in his letter of acceptance,
would ''set down his foot, and set it down
firmly" against conflicts of race and
murderous assaults on the negroes, he
would do a great service to the coun-
try and gain thousands of votes in every
Northern State. We do not offer this
suggestion under any exaggerated impress
sion of the power of the President to
interfere in the internal affairs of the States
Neither Mr.. Tilden nor any other citizen is
fit to be President if he is incapable of MAX
ing that great office the basis of an efficient
moral influence not inferior to the physical
force of the government. ITO establish JUS
tice and insure domestic tranquility" are
among the declared objects of the consttu-
ton, and President must be deplorably
unequal to the eminent position he
holds if he has no other resource
than enacted laws with bayonets and
gunpowder behind them for carrying
out the spirit of the constitution. Let Gov
ernor Tilden show his faith in ideas, for
ideas rule the world when they proceed
from a source which can compel attention.
Justice has natural authority over the
minds and consciences of communities, and
when man is exalted to station from
which he can speak with all the weight of
the chosen representative of n nation he has
little need of physical force in maintaining
justice, provided he is strong in intellect,
character and public confidence. Mr.. Tilden
could put an end to these disgraceful butch
cries in the South by simple declaration
of his deep sense of their injustice and folly
We hope he will not shrink from the rifle
once assumed by Disraeli and educate his
party" When he is elected he will be be-
sieged by hosts of applicants for office from
all parts Of the South and if it were once
understood that he would appoint nobody
who is not an active promoter of justice and
concord between the two races 1.-The shotgun
policy" would be very shortlived after his
election. With this potent means of in1u-
ence and the higher influence which attends
moral ascendancy in position so exalted
as the Presidency there is no necessity nor
excuse for quibblng about constitutional
power to interfere in the States Let us
hope at last for one moro President who has
faith in justice, the force of ideas and the
power and majesty OF public opinion.

Guarding the Sale of POlsOns.

The member Of the House who gave me iu-
formation in regard to the part taken by Mr..
Hoenniger in Killing the bill guarding the
sale of poisons has just sent me the Journal,
pointing out that be was mistaken in one par
ticulsr. Mr.. Hoenniger did not move to take
up the bill and ask its dismissal, but after the
bill had passed Doth houses, and before it
reached the Governor for his signature, Mr.
Hoenniger moved to reconsider the vote by
which the bill was passed, which motion pre-
vailed; and then, on motion Of another men,
Der. the bill was dismissed. This relieves Mr..
Hoenniger of q violation of parliamentary
usage in defeating the bill, but 1t does not
relieve him of the responsibility of defeating
| it. On the contrary, 1t shows that it was
his motion that kept the bill from reaching
the Governor and becoming law, for If the
bill was not amended in the House it needed
no further legislation, having previously
passed the Senate.
Mr. Hoenpiger's letter in your paper of
this date has just reached me, and passing
by, IS do, his lecture to me, the substantial
facts remain: that his motion called the bill
back and placed it within the power OF the
House to kill it after its friends thought they
were done with it, for the motion to dismiss
could not have been made bad not Dir.
Hoenniger's motion to reconsider prevailed.
Then, Mr.. Editor, the geutleman's motion
did result In killing the bill; but according
to the Journal be did it in parliamentary
way, and this he defends in bis letter on the
ground that commerce should under no
circumstances be burdened with unnece ssary
restrictions"
| Is It an unnecessary restriction to guard
the sale of poisons? We who have suffered
from it think not. Again, he says: s. You
might as we'll require gunsmith to keep a
record of purchasers OF gune, pistols, pow
| der, and shot," In reply, we have only to
say that the gun or pistol always reports
when 1t is used, and can do 40 harm without
reporting, while the hellish roisouer can

We haye ever been the opponentof patent
means FOR restraining appropriations Of pub.
| lie money. A memorable example of the
consequence Of this policy was furnished In
the Virginia Legislature. It was thought
that appropriations would be lessened By In.
creasiug the difficulty in the way of making
them-t. e., Increasing the vote necessary to
pass an appropriation. A majority OF the
| whole number elected to the House was re-
CURED. The absent then were always
counted amongst the noes. This is the case
now, and 1t is bad for the State.
1t had the opposite effect from what was
expected. It Increased the ualue Of vote,
AID the increased price OF it was readily
| paid, because the money to pay for 1t was
taken out of the public treasury. we 90
not mean that men asked money Tor their
own use for their votes. Such thing
as that was not thought Of at that
day; but every man va, sure OF getting
money for bis local Improvements for
vote for project of magnitude; aud SO
big bill passed through the Legislature like
horse through pond of leeches VIII
great number Of them sticking to him.
The recent amendment to the city charter
throws a great barrier in the way OF the
Council, and the only way we perceive for
the body to get over it is to make combined
attack upon the Treasury, thus passing q
number of appropriations without merit.
The average attendance upon the Council
is about twenty-five, and it takes twenty to
carry an appropriation over fifty dollars.
In the Board of Aldermen there were thir-
teeen present on Monday, and as it takes
twelve to pass an appropriation vote OF
nine out of the thirteen was utterly power
less.
The addition Of two or three more colered
members to the city legislature would give
them tue power to control our appropria.
tionS.
We are sure that the friends of this mea.
sure must begin to doubt its wisdom. The
wisest regulation in legislation upon the
public welfire is to leave the control in the
hands of the majority. That protects the
public interests better than to require a
larger proportional vote to decide public
measures. There is spirit of independence
maintained in the body by majority which
better preserves its integrity and gives eff
cheney to it's will. There is no subsection of
the majority to the necessity of concessions
to unworthy schemes to carry good ones.
The fearful policy of paying heavily for
votes out Of the public treasury is not forced
upon members. From our knowledge of
legislation this is one Of the most corrupting
things in government.
