REFORMEks Sc GONE BACK" ON RE-
PORN.

FORM.
We publish in another column let
ter from F. w. Bird, the founder Of the
Republican party, read at the Msssa-
chusetts ratification meeting held at
FaneuiI hall recently. 1t comes at a
most opportune moment, just as the at
tention of the country is being called to
the conduct of Schurz, William Cullen
Bryant, Horace White, and others who
participated In the Fifth Avenue hotel
conference Of last spring. Mr.. Bird re-
views the address which resulted from
that conference, and makes most skill
full and unanswerable application Of its
strongest passages to Governor Tilden.
He shows, as some of the signers OF
that address in speeches made at the
time confessed, that it plainly pointed to
but two men in either party as reform
ers in fact as well as in nsme--Tilden and
Bristow; and that since the Republican
party threw over the one, and so signal
ICED its opposition to reform, there is
nothing left the honest men of the coun-
try to do but support TildeD, the only
zeal reformer, the only statesman who
has q record that affords substantial
basis for belief that he has the courage
and ability to enforce the reforms needed
to accomplish the publication of the gov
eminent. Mr.. Birds letter is one OF the
sblest and most convincing documents
the canvass has 30 far brought to light,
and emanating, as it does, from one who
is regarded as the founder Of the Repub-
lican party, it connot fail to strengthen
our party in Massachusetts, and may,
perhaps, lead to our triumph in an I'M
expected quarter.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, July Is -Ieav-
ing Memphis one week ago, we eXpe-
rienced dusty trip to Cincinnati, Where
we lay over on Sunday. Refreshing
showers greeted us here, and noticed
there had been plenty of rain through
the State on to Cleveland. The crops
locked fire, and farming interests are in
Furnishing condition. The Lake Shore
railroad from Cleveland is a desirable
line of travel, and presents continuous
panorama of highly cultivated farms on
to Buffalo. People who have not trav-
eled this road can form no conception of
the elegant, well-kept farms that line
this road; aud the towns and villages
present an attractjveness altogether in
viting. From Buffalo to Niagara is only
an hours ride by q smooth road. The
be utieS and grandeur of Niagara Falls
have been thousand times told in prose
and sopg. The roar and the rainbow
are there the same as years ago. The
Cataract house we found sumptuoas in
all its appointments. Our window
opened upon the rapids, but stones
throw of, and the music of the waters
and the roar of the falls fingered upon
our ears as we fell asleep. On the other
side of the river we witnessed q fine
military display OF battalion of one
hundred and sixty young men from De.
troit. They we're on their return from
the Centennial, having taken part in
the parade on the Fourth. While view.
ing the attractions on the Canada side,
we met Mr.. w. B. Miller and his charm
ing daughter, Miss Floy, OF Memphis.
Leaving Niagara with regret, we took
the Watertown and Ogdensburg rail-
road for Cape Vincent, on the st. Law
renee, a distance Of about two hundred
miles. On the road we met an acqllaint-
auce from New York city, who intro
duced US to his father-in-law, Elk. Lieu
tenant Governor Alvrrd, OF Syracuse.
We were in his company five hours,
and learned from him much of interest |
things and places Ii, the |
northern portion of the State and on the |
st. Lawrence. Withal we found the |
governor was a Republican politician,
and he gave "Sam Tilden" (as he called |
him) many thrusts. We afterward |
learned that the governor belonged to
he canal and other thieving rings
IF the State. He pronounced Grants |
q failure, in answer
10 question on this p lint. I
wish to state here emphatically
hat we have made 1t point to obtain
opinions touching the Presi.
lential election, and find a very large
majority favoring the election OF 1,ilden

THE Chicago Tribune winds up an ed
itorial on Grants recent performances
in the following words:
But the Republican party is no longer
responsible for the Presidents course in
these matters. Its policy Is set forth in
the platform adopted at Cincinnati, and
1t is represented by General Hayes,
whose letter is in striking condemnation
of the recent course of the President.
How does that compare with this from
the Philadelphia Press, paper Of quite
as much influence in the Republican
party as the Tribune:
Let Republicans remember that
President Grant is the firm friend of
Governor Hayes, as has successor; that
it is to President Grant we look for the
maintenance OF all the laws, north and
south, during the Presidential election,
and that if the Confederate Democracy
should attempt to make head against
the national sentiment, we have a man
in the highest Office of the republic who
understands them. We often feel in
elined ourselves to complain Of Presi-
dent Grant, but when we think Of what
ne did for the republic; when we recall
his quiet and unpretending bravery in
the darkest hours OF the republic; when
we remember his severe trials and the
ISLANDERS to which he has
been compelled to submit since he re-
accepted his first Presidency,
we also remember Mr.. LincOln's tribu-

AFTER all the mad efforts of that ly-
ing minister Of the gospel of peace-the
Rev. DR.. Bayliss, pastor OF Trinity M.
E church, Indisnapolis-to stamp with
infamy the whole southern people, it ap-
pears from the report of the coDgression-
al commit Q sent to investigate the
facts, that the testimony of leading men
of the two political parties is explicit in
establishing the fact that the shooting OF
King and Twitchell was not caused by
reason of their political opinions, and
that the affair was not Of political
character. The evidence on the other
hsd shows that Mr.. Twitchell had made
q number of personal enemies within
his own political party, and that threats
against his life had been made by one or
more of these persons; but this evidence
was not OF character to create rea-
sonable ground Of suspicion against any
particular person, even among Mr..
Twitchelrs personal enemies. The COM
mittee closes its report by an expression
Of the opinion that the people Of Red
river parish, irrespective of party, are
desirious of political quiet, and are pre-
pared to welcome among them men Of
all parties who are disposed to conduct
themselves as law-abiding, peaceable
citizsns. The report is unanimous, and
signed by both Mr.. Vance, the Democrat,
and Mr.. WOODBURY., the Republican.

containing Belknap and Robson,

A DISPATCH to the Chicago Times
says it is positively known that the Re-
publican State committee OF Indiana has
telegraphed TO Elk Commissioner Pratt,
and rendered him the Republican nOm-
ination for governor of that State. At
any rate ne was asked on Saturday
whether he would accept the nomination
for governor, in case the removal OF
Orth could be procured. To this dis
patch Commissioner Pratt replied in
substance that, under no condition what
ever, could he accept this nomination.
In the face of such facts, knowing that
the Democratic investigating committee
is ready to spring mine under Ortiz as
soon as the canvass in Indiana fairly
commences, how can the Republicans
hope for victory in Indiana?

THE Herald Washington correspond
ent thinks that Governor Tilden has so
for delayed his letter OF acceptance
awaiting the adjournment of congress,
in order to cover the acts of the session.
Whether this be so or not, we have no
means OF knowing, since the governor
keeps his own council; but of one thing
we are certain, and that is that it will
cover everything important to be COW

GOVERNOR JEWELL, as a recompense
for President Grants i'll treatment Of
him, was given very fisttering recep-
ton at New Haven and Hartford, on
the seventeenth. The people turned out,
irrespective of party, 70 testify, as their
spokesman, Hon. Henry c. Robinson
said, ito the fact that he had faithfully
carried out his promise to conduct his
department at Washington on business
principles, and to applaud his resistance
of entreaties and threats CT bad men
and his efforts in the cause OF political
reform, to which the sound part Of the
nation is especially sensitive. We do
not forget, said Mr.. Robinson, that there
is In true manhood such stuff as circum-
stances of elevation to office cannot
create nor removals from office de-
stroy." This is the way Connecticut
rebukes Grant. The old nutmeg State
will also rebuks Hayes, Or nt's friend,
next November at the bsllot-box.
