Almost daily some discovery is announced which
is astonishing alike for its simplicity and its great
value. Such is the invention by which the Forest
Tar Co. are enabled to utilize pure tar medicine.
Its great healing power has long been recognized but
not much used heretofore, because of the inconven
ence of handling tar in its crude state Under the
name of Forest Tar is put up in various forms suit

Democracy, and wanders. forth pro-
scribed and forlorn politician. Not even
the social recognition Of glass of whisky
will be vouchsafed by any Democrat-un-
less, perhaps, Mr.. Fitzpatrick will pay
for it. He may expect to see Democratic
customers pass by on the other side if he
has any goods to sell, and can scarcely
expect suspension of the non-intercourse
order should he have money to loan on
call. What will the people say to this re-
lection of MI. Fitzpatrick by this Demo-
cratic Returning Board? Has constitu-
ency no rights that a self-constituted
body is bound to respect? John Wilkes
was returned again and again to the Brit
ish Parliament by his resolute constitu-
ents. John Randolph, when asked his
age in the House of Representatives, re-
piled: go ask my constituents"
The constituents of Mr.. Fitzpatrick
seem to have no standing before Demo-
cratic tribunal, for in arguing their repre-
sentative no Democrat the Central Com
mittee has placed all who voted for him
in the same condition. So the boys who
voted for Mr.. Fitzpatrick may continue
their support, and as he has been con-
victed of being no Democrat he may fall
within the charities of Republican voters.
There would seem no objection to accept
ing the support OF Mr.. Craig, man of
color, and to the innumerable colored
voters who are invited into the Demo-
cratic camp. Almost every one OF these
has been voting-and, We may add, will
continue to vote the Republican ticket
without imputation of incompetency. It
seems, however, that an Irishman-as we
understand Mr.. Fitzpatrick to be-is the
born thrall of Democracy, and if detected
in accepting political civility from a
is disqualified after from
Democratic forgiveness and association.
Such discrimination against the brave
md generous Hibernians, can not but
excite the serious indignation of that
patriotic class of our fellow-citizens.

something be done to arrest the introduce

BEAD OUT OF CHURCH,

The repeated election of Mr.. Fitzpatrick
and his rejection by the Democratic. Con-
servative Central Committee demonstrates
a couple of valuable probabilities:
l. That there is strong sentiment op-
posed to the self-authorized intolerance of
the White League leaders.
2. That those leaders who draw the line
of political and social non-intercourse SO
strictly before the election will not abate
that scrutiny after the election is over.
The present registration is not conducted
with half the vigilance as will be the scru-
tiny of claims to Office providing the
White Leaguers have anything to give
away. The credentials of Mr.. Wilt were
examined to test his qualifications as q
Democratic Governor. He was arraigned
for having accepted his credentials as
Mayor from a Republican Lieutenant
Governor, and was even impugned for an
alleged hesitation in placing his personal
and official influence promptly in support
of the instruction of September.
These disqualiications were condoned
by the convention, and Mr.. Witt has now
a plenary absolution. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
has not been so fortunate. What he has
done We know not. Something horri-
BILE, no doubt There is scarce one of his
triers who did not vote for Horace
Greeley, the Republican, abolitionist and
protectionist; many of them accepted the
political aid of the Republican Governor
in 1872. The Democratic nominees for
Congress accepted the commission Of the
"usurper," and have drawn comfortable
salary hereunder, and none of them have
scorned to accept the general amnesty
vouchsafed by the Republican President
and party. Poor Mr.. Fitzpatrick! What
can he have done politically worse than
the Fusionists who condemn him? To
make his case politically more heinous, we
find one of our papers sets down Admin
istrator Burke as having forced Mr.. Fitz-
patrick beyond the pale of even his indul-
gence. Administrator Burke has been
himself impeached in his political consis-
tency, first by that worthy and indomita-
BILE Teuton, Mr.. Buddecke, and secondly
by a Mr.. Lagan. Administrator Burke
adroitly escaped from the pit thus digged
for his capture by leaping alertly upon
the shoulders of the Picayune, which indie
pendent journal he convicted, by quota
tons, of having shown an indulgence for
other third term Fusionists. The i'm
parchment of Administrator Burke, though
was by no means settled. He
has only succeeded in bringing that home |
the Picayaaoe, into the same
dock with himself, as equally subject to
question. Should it ever come to pass
that the conglomerites have any printing |
patronage to bestow, we apprehend that
few State trials will present the excite
ment that will be produced when the
White League organ shall come to exhibit
The long list Of exceptions to the Demo-
cratic record of the Pic.
In the meantime, Mr.. Fitzpatrick has
been excluded from the official Eden Of

contracts, this administrator upon ex
ploded railroads. ''Great amounts
awaited the results of the war, which
Unionists and Confederates were Their
fighting. GLOW can TELL" said Lawyer
Tilden, ''what my income is until you set
tie this controversy? I may be worth
millions if the Union army is triumphant
| 1 may not be worth q - if the Unio1
be destroyed"
He even claims to have dissented from
the declaration that the war was "a fail.
ure," and this in view of the "extraordi
nary income" and "great amounts" con
tingent upon the result of the war was
professionally natural.
There is another peculiar feature of this
immense fortune accumulated during the
tears and trials of the war. It is claimed
by the apologize 1imes-itself no very
valiant participator in the military de-
tense of the Union-that Attorney Tild en-
made many
Commercial ventures which have en-
richsd him of late. though they were sources
of loss rather than of income during the
first two years of the war.
Setting apart the unusual fact that any
respectable attorney-at-law should find
time or inclination for ''many CONNER
cial ventures" we wish to know what
those commercial ventures" were. They
must have been based on the evasion of
Commodore Semmes and Motif These
ventures" do not appear to have paid
during the years 1861, 1862 and 1868; but
after that period they seem to have panned
out splendidly. What was the nature of
that commerce" by which an adventurer
in New York could make nothing during
the war, but which has proved so very
profitable since?
1t is very evident that Lawyer Tilden
went into the war with little and came
out very rich; that he took no overt part
either for or against the Union, and so
has neither provoked the enmity of either
friend or foe. The immense fortune Of
which the Times boasts constitutes the
"barrel of money" on which the Southern
Democracy rely, and provided he will put
up freely of this blood and trouble fund,
it matters little to the recipients how he
came by it.
Without one service rendered as a
statesman; without a thought of sympa-
thy for bleeding country; without a
dollar for charity, though perhaps some
given through ostentation; with no tear
for the sorrows and no pride in the hero
ism of others; employing the question
able and irresponsible waterproof of an
attorneys conscience to rob his govern
ment through the hands of others, and
share in the swag without accounting to
the law, and inspired with no thought
save to get away with sordid and ignoble
of contingent fees and mys-
terious ventures, Attorney Tilden stands
as thrifty and shifty specimen of con-
traband trader in the miseries and mis-
fortunes of the country in which his resi-
dence has been cast. We can not see in
this biographical sketch of the Chicago
Times single quality to awaken the en-
thusiasm Of either party in politics, or of
either section lately arrayed against each
other in civil war.

GENERAL MCCLELLAN AS A DEMOCRAT.

GENERAL MCCLELLAN AS A DEMOCRAT.
We have been especially impressed
with the letter of this warrior. 1t Is well
known that he made most desperate
attempt to conquer the South. The
bloody combats around Richmond filed
the South with mourning, and no one
doubted the sincerity with which General
Mcclellan sought to capture the capital OF
the Confederacy. Would any person
suppose that, during all that dreadful car
mage and imperious purpose, General
Mcclellan was at heart and in principle
with the South? 1t seems certainly so
from his recent utterances.
In late published letter he expresses
hope to see the States reinstat ed in the
same rights as before the war. He says:
After many trials and tribulations the
States not long since arrsyed IN arms
against the general government have re-
established their relations with the Union,
and regsined their autonomy.
1t is very difficult to see how COM
mander who did all in his power to ex-
tinguish the individual sovereignty Of the
Southern States, and to execute the doc
trines of Mr.. Lincoln should have the as
surance to pirate about the autonomy OF
the States. The established doctrine is,
that the people of the United States are
the sovereign and supreme rulers of the
republic, and that their representatives
and their judiciary enact and enforce the
laws. Where the sautonomy' of the
States comes in we can not precisely see.
General Mcclellan was one of those
Northern Democrats who had no idea of
permitting the fugitive Democrats of the
South to escape. He fought with
the political purpose of recapture and
subjugation of Messrs. JEFF Davis, Wilt,
McEnery, Mari and others. He employed
the power of the Union to prevent this
escape. He now claims these Southern
Democrats as the captives Of his bow and
spear, and demands that the Republicans
surrender them as Achilles quarreled over
the spoils which his associates claimed by
superior title. Such men as Mcclellan
fight against their convictions. They are
not entitled to the respect Of the North,
because their political motives were venal,
and still less to that of the South. because
they violated every Democratic principle
in the act and circumstances of military
invasion.
