ALL THE Democrats care about this
coming election is to get their men
elected. regardless of how it is done,
so that they can get where they can
suck the government pap, as they have
not done, to speak of, since Buchan-
ans administration, and for which
they long very much to do again after
having put the government to a
cost of 6,000,000,00O of dollars and
AGO. 900 Of noble veterans, besides be-
ing the direct party who are response
BILE for all the difficulties of the
present, the financial embarrassment
included. Oh! Shameless Dem
ocracy thy hands are yet too fresh with
the blood of our Union heroes, and
thy consistency, if thou hast any, is
where it cannot be seen or even dream
ed of. How Democracy can howl re-
form when it is over its head in dam
nable disgraces and corruptions is i'm
possible for the intelligent mind to
comprehend.

THE DAILY PRESS AS A RELIC
IOUS AGENCY,

We have frequently put on record our
high sense of the value Of the daily secu-
lar press to the cause of religion and NOR
ality. 1t is about time to do it again.
To our editors and reporters who preside
over the columns of our great journals
more is due than ever will be paid. AS
a rule they are men of exceptional abili-
ties, singular eandor and impartiality,
and UNIV carried patience. They are often
guided by pronounced religious views
and deep persona Td prey the our sncasd ofssrsn
ligious press, are by no means alone in
the exposition and defense of divine
truth. Editorials as a class are as fresh
and edifytng in their way as sermons as
a class are in their way. And we appeal
to the common sense of the Christian
community is these things are not so.--

THE TRUTH ABOUT MAINE-THE
REPUBLICAN, MAJORITY LESS
THAN IN 1874.

Bangor, Me-, Sept. 29.-The reports of
the Republican majorities in Maine, sent
out from the Kennebec Journal Office at
the State capital as official, were greatly
exaggerated and not correct. The Daily
Commercial this evening publishes full
returns Of the vote for Congressman
furnished from the Office of Secretary of
State. The total Congressional vote is
l35,847-Republican, 73,5l5; Democratic,
6O.7l9; Independent and Greenback
1875 Republican Congressional major
ity, 11,lS3. The Republican Congress
sional majority in the State in 1872 was
lS,3O3. The total vote of the State for
Governor is 136,693; the minority for
Conner, Republican is l4,393. The Off
cial count by the Legislature in January
will reduce these figures somewhat.

when the good cause" seemed most forlorn,
He laughed the coward hearts to scorn;
when cropping wide they could not see,
He rose and said, Come, follow me-"
The State is proud that gave him BIRTH
His fame extends through all the earth;
Through all the Unions breadth and length,
A WanhWord and tower Of strength.
Corruption shrinks and stands aghast
WAene'er she hears his bugle blast
You cannot break, you cannot benz,
Won cannot swerye him from his end.
The Empire State lay near to death, H..
when even the boldest held their breath
In that dark hour OF soreSt need
He slew the giant robber, Tweed
The ietid slime from whence there springs
The serpent brood Of thievish rings;
How wise, deliberate, and slow
He waits to strike the heavier blow.
No more is heard their fendish mirth,
They walk no more the good green earth;
BY swamp and lake, in vale and hill,
They lie entombed, and cold and STILL
He Oeems most fit 10 lead the van;
In him behold the Honest Man.
II seems that this Centennial Time
Had come to make the hour sublime.
The Peoples heart now toward him yearns
Around him where the battle burns
Ne cannot shrink, he will not fail,
He wears such shining coat Of mail.
Through all the land wide rings his name,
Each State has caHght the patriot flame
The North and South, the East and West
He wears triumphant on his crest.
No gambling dens of stocks and cards
Comprise his friends and body guards.
He keeps his post where'er 1t be-;
He never loiters by the sea.

His Treasury doors are burglar'proof;

When honest men, restored to power,
Shall lead the way the fathers trod,
To reverence Virtue, Truth and God.
He springs from noblest Pilgrim Stock
He is the fortress and the rock,
The standard true, who holds the keys,
The Cato and Aristides.

The people shall once more be Free
They want no despot knave or sham
But what they want is uncle Sam"

RAGE IN PITTSB URGH-EFFORT
TO FORCE an EXAMINATION OF
THE PRIVATE AFFAIRS OF BU-

Pittsburgh, Oct, 5,-A party of Radical
politicians from the East, headed by
United States Marshal John Hall, of the
Western District of Pennsylvania, to give
an official air to the demand, to-day
called on the Treasurer of the Pittsburgh,
Chicago and Fl. Wayne Railuoad, and
demanded the production of the books
of the Company, and statement of Gov
ernor Tilden's connection with the af-
fairs of the road. Their demand, al
though under the guise of United
States MarshaPs authority, was refused
by the Treasurer, and these scavengers
of Zach Chandler departed from the of.
fee in high indignation. They are still
here and may possibly produce an order
from Taft, Cameron, or Grant himself,
for the production of the books.

THE INDIAN TRANSFER BILL.

From the kilograms received concsrn-
ing the bill placing the Indians under the
control Of the War Department. il is dif-
6cult to tell what has been the action Of
the House. 1t is stated that Cox DEM
and the Republican members voted
against. whether from that is to be in
ferred that majority Of the House voted
for and passed the bill is doubtful. For
our own part We cannot but hope that
affairs OF the Indian Bureau will be
turned over to the War Department. BY
doing so an immense sum of money will
be saved, and the Indians will be better
treated. 1t may be that even then 1t
will DO bard to shake off the hold the In
dim ring has upon the victims, but at
any rate the effort should be made. I'm
fortunately for the cause Of truth and
Justice and the protection of the Indians,
the members OF the knavish Indian
ring. though nothing but parcel OF
canting hypocrites, have managed to
hoodwink large. respectable and we'll
intentioned element Of society. What is
known as the religious world have adopt
ed the idea that the Indian is a suffering
innocent. and that the ringsters are his
protectors. When the religious denomi-
nations once adopt an idea it is useless
10 ny to uproofA. They cling to it as q
matter OF faith. To argue with them il
loss Of time, for they set it all down ss
the teachings Of the evil one. II they
are reproved for their folly then they cal
1t persecution. They close their eyes
resolutely TO logic Of facts, and eitbel
say they are untrue or the parties calling
attention to them have IN evil purpose
In doing SO. Thus the rascally Indian
ring can always find moral and material
support in the classes we refer to. The
only mode OF relief left is to resolutely cui
loose both from the ring men and theil
silly dupes, and place the Indians under
the control of men who will not take
missionaries for their advisors, and will
NOT in turn deceive the missionaries in
order to rob the Indians.

DANGEROUS nut PERHAPS JUsTI-

The New York Times wishes that the
numerous Congressional investigations
now in progress we're conducted in pub
lie. As rule that is undoubtedly the
better course. These Star Chamber pro-
ceedinos are repuguant to the feelings
and frequently result in injustice or the
escape Of the guilty by connivance.
Under the present condition Of affairs in
the public departments at Washington
there is however some excuse, and per-
haps good reason. for scrutinising the
doings of officials with closed doors.
