THE ISSUE BETWEEN REPUBLICANIsM ANI
-. DEMOCRACY. n-
| confess, without shame, that have long
ed for the day when the political organiza
ton if this country should not perpetuate,
even their names, the memories of our civil
war; when the dissentions of the war, its
passions and hatreds, should be buried with
the dead; when its awful destruction of life
should be remembered as common sorrow,
a necessary sacrifice, an expiatory offering
made to freedom and union, which no states
manship could avert, in conflict of ideas
which was inevitable. But I have a deer
and abiding sense that while the Democratic
party maintains its political organization,
perpetuates its old traditions, insists upon
coming into power triumphant, with music
playing, banners flying, exulting in all it
has done, regretting in all it has failed to
prevent, the Republican party can no more
afford to disband. to relax its high purpose
or great endeavor, than the Union army
could afford to lay down its arms in the pres
ence of the armed hosts of the rebellion.
Whatever may be our individual aspira-
lions, whether we like it or dislike it, the
present political contest is between the Re-
publican and Democratic parties. The con-
test is for the administration of the Federal
Government. 1t is q great stake. Great on
account OF its power and patronage, greater
on account OF its moral prestige as the dec
laration OF the will of the American people,
and :ranscendant in its importance in deter
mining the general principles and policy OF
the government of republic destined in the
near future to become the greatest political
power in the world. There is no third

Both parties promise reform. There has
been a time when both PARTIES did not pro-

not be possible and necessary. In determin-
ing the value of these promises character
must be taken into account. Now, without

! five times as much, and money would be-
come so plenty it would not be worth any
more than four-pcnny nails. Business may
be depressed by many causes so that it will
not want money, but an abundance of '.cur-
| rency" will not create that kind of business
which in the end is profitable to a commu-
nifty.
If company should organize here to
| build another railroad to Indianapolis, while
the road was building, business would be in
creased, and there would be an increased
amount OF money in circulation. But if,
when the road was completed, it should fail
to pay running expenses, all the capital in
vested in it would be a loss, and it would
have been just as we'll for the community,
economically considered, if all the laborers
employed in the construction had been sup
ported in idleness, and all the iron and ties
had been heaped up in piles.
great deal of the depression now ex-,
| perienced is the result of building railroads
in advance of the wants OF business, at ex-
travagant prices, and by the aid OF State,
county, and municipal bonds. We are meet
ing now the draft which was drawn upon
the future then. We can make money in
| circulation now by repeating that expert
ence, but we should only postpone the evil
day and add to it a new calamity.
1t was my fortune Tor lnisfortune) to be
resident of Sacramento when that city was
destroyed by fire in November, 1852. In
the excitement Of the occasion, in the hope
fulness and determination which rise above
calamity, we felt richer in town lots imme-
diately after the fire than we did in lots and
buildings before. The delusion did not last.
If a large portion Of your beautiful city
should be destroyed by fire tonight, men
would mortgage their lots to rebuild, and
while the building was going OH money
would be plenty, business active, labor EN-
ployed. When the mortgage should become
due the actual extent Of the loss could be re-
allied. There used to be proverb that a
war and a fire made good times. But do
not know that any one ever advocated the
burning of towns and melting OF wars for
the sake of the ''good times. Occasionally

LETTER FROM GEN. E. w. RICE.

Democratic Perry, when he spoke
here, pitched into our fellow-citizen,
Gen. ELLIOTT w. RICE, as gallant a
soldier as ever shouldered musket
or wore sword-one who rose from
private TO Major-G General. In pri-
vate letter to the editor of this paper
he says:
'l417 Street, WASHINGTON, d. C..
November 9, 1876.
any DEAR LEIGHTON d NEEDHAM.-I
want to thank you for your
consideration in noticing in the
HERALD, the speech regarding
myself made by that Liar Perry. Just
the opposite of what he said is the truth.
Logan, Morton and myself have at all
times fought rebel claims, and last winter
| urged all my friends in Congress to
pass a statute of limitations against
'loyal" claims, and not to extend the time
of the aSouthern Claims Commission. "
In spite of the earnest efforts of those
commissioners, many claims have been
allowed that are at least doubtful. At
this period of time after the war, no
claim arising out of the war ought to be
considered unless it has heretofore been
presented and proper efforts made to
prove when the facts were fresh"
With highest regards,
very truly your friend,
Il. w. RICE.

The latest we had Saturday night, wa

The latest we had Saturday night, was
a Washington special to the ~ y Graph
&c saying that Mr.. Morrill,, Secretary OF
the Treasury had telegraphed the Roths-
childs, the greatest bankers in Europe,
that Hayes was undoubtedly elected. If
the report is true it has great significance,
for the Secretary of the Treasury would
hardly send such despatch to financial
firm, without he had good reasons for be-
lieving it.
There is also rumor that Gov. Kel-
logg of Louisiana was assassinated Sat
urday This report went over the Hawk
eye line, here, Sunday, but we hope, sin
cerely, that it is not true, for such a van
dial act would precipitate conflict that
could only be stopped after sea of blood
had been shed. If such thing is true,
it can only have one meaning, and that is
that Louisiana is Republican, and that
the Democracy XII wing this, have killed
Kellogg, SO he could not certify up the
election returns; that State has no Lieu
tenant Governor and the President of
the Senate being Democrat they expect
to use him. But zoe do not believe the re-
port, and shall not until further advices
come.
Republicans still claim North Carolina.

THE BLOW OUT.

The Democratic blowout last Saturday
night was tn thinnest affair Of the season,
and notwith standing the positive asser-
tons made by the leaders that Tild en-
was elected, the crowd celebrating was
pitiably small In the torch-light process
sion were 81 torches, and oh what
motley crowd bore them. They were LED
NV the cornet band. In addition to that
were five who were not bearing
torches - John W. McCord, Cary
Cooper, Dick Dingle, L. III. Gibbs,
and DIR. Nugent. They marched around
Tor few blocks, and qui city hunted their
holes, leaving the impression on the crowd
gathered about the streets, that it was
the worst fizzle they ever saw. There were
not less than a thousand people on the
streets, about nine tenths OF whom were
Republicans, and the observer could not
but see that they were looking much more
jubilant than the opposition, and the facts
warranted them in so doing, for we have
no doubt of Hayes election by l85 or
1875 votes, and hare not doubted htis
since Wednesday morning.
One very interesting incident happened
in the attempted display of fireworks.
Several of those appointed to set off the
fireworks were gathered on the stand, and
some one, too eager, lighted them prema-
turely and at the wrong end, and OF all
the scattering you ever saw, it was about
then. Cary Cooper took his 200 lbs. OF
beef over the railing backwards alighted
on his head, and jumped behind sapling
about as big as lead pencil, and the re- t
scattered, head over heels in every dire,
ton. Cary, when asked why he loft 5"
suddenly. said: II saw small boy beck
oning to me in the crowd, and thought he
had despatch for me, and was in a
hurry to see what was in it." No one
was hurt.
The Democrats started the report that
they were to be assaulted by Republicans
We knew the report was false, but to
guard against anything of the kind, our
self and dozen other Republicans circu-
lated around the crowd and sounded the
boys on the matter as hundreds OF them
will testify, and not single one could we
find who held any such opinion or who
favored any such action. On the cont ira
ry, nearly every one said: "Let them
celebrate; they have nothing to crow over:
our turn will come next week" The
report was all Democratic scare.

THE SITUATION.

Florida and South Carolina are now
conceded by Democrats, to be Republi-
can, and all Republicans claim Louisiana,
by a fair majority, even including the
three townships where the Democrats
drove every Republican away Demo-
Gratis still keep up their claim on that
State, In order to give color to their
programme, which is to have the House
throw out Louisiana, when the vote Is
counted. We feel reasonably certain OF
1s5 votes, with fair chance OF North
Carolina, where the Republican chairman
claims to have evidences of large frauds,
which would give us the State by 10000
If thrown out. As it is, even counting
the frauds, ,n9 State is yet in doubt.
A large number of people from both
parties are in New Orleans to see the
CONT made next Friday. At this writ
ing we think Gov. Hayes is elected

REBELS.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 10.-For three
days the city has been in fervent e1-
element, and around the newspaper
offices and political headquarters
there have been gathered such tumul-
tuous crowds as were only seen on the
10Th of April, 1861. The Democrats
have had control of everything, and
their throngs of roughs and strikers
have made pandemonium of day and
night. The streets in the centre Of
the city have been impossible, and
decent females have hardly dared to
venture out. Cheers for Tilden and
and Jeff Davis were mingled with
hIasphemous curses on Hayes and the
'publicans, and every now and then
as genuine rebel yell could be heard
above the din.

The Charlest n Riot.
The following description of the

The following description of the
Charleston riot, is from an eye witness:
1.-THE riot in Charleston was very seri-
Gus affair, and from thirty to fifty men
men were wounded on both sides. The
riot originated in an attack made by the
Democrats upon white Republican be-
cause the latter, with some negroes, had
ventured to hurrah for Hayes. The color
ed people had not interfered with the
Democrats throughout the entire day when
the latter had been shouting for Tilden,
but upon the reception of the first dispatch
that Hayes was possibly elected, the Dem
ocrats commenced their fire. The colored
men, after exhauting their small arms, re-
tired, and obtained guns. They formed in
regular tline of battle, 1900 strong
and drove the White-Liners with their ri
fles, also formed in battle line, for two
entire blocks. The United States troops
got behind the rifle clubs, when the latter
opened ranks and allowed the troops to
come between them and the negroes. The
latter then ceased firing. The whites made
urgent appeals to the troops for protection.
Indeed the white Democrats requested
that troops be stationed at the polls in
some of the coast counties. which the Re-
publicans in no instance did. The only
troops at the polls in South Carolina
were there at the request of the Demo
Gratis"

III You're Right Go Ahead.

The truth or correctness of this Ii
tie needs neither argument nor dem
onstration. 1t is only used to intro
duce matter worthy of the consider
alton of directors and teachers. The
law says no one shall draw public
money for services rendered as
teacher without certificate from the
County Superintendent. There came
difficnlty-it was not new one
at the close of our Institute last sum-
mer like this Several of our teach
ers were required to begin school i'm
mediately at its close. Directors con-
tracted with teachers who had no GER
tifcates, and they drew public money
in open violation Of law. This has
become q serious matter. To save
time and trouble to both Superintend-
ent and applicants, the examinations
have been put upon the last Friday
and Saturday in each month. AS
the months go by and winter schools
come.on directors employ certain
ones and they begin teaching without
the certificate because they did not
respond to repeated requests made
previously to visit the examination.
This practice must do injustice in one
of three ways, or all of them, viz
The Superintendent is liable to GEN.
sure for slack performance of duty );
the director is liable to the same
charge, besides he can be held as a
private member of the contract in
stead of the district, in case parties
receive public money for the time not
covered by the certificate; and more
he is amenable to law and may be
made to pay in cash for this lack of
official duty. (See Sec. 1853 School
Law, and notes upon the same; also
Secs. 1865, 1866 and 1867, Code of
Iowa. Teachers thus place them
selves or the County Superintendent
under embarrassment. If the school
is begun and the examination does
not afterwards prove satisfactory then
the Superintendent is compelled to
stop the teacher, which often ruins
the teachers prospects and sometimes
displeases the patrons, and alw avs
Injuries the district; or he must COM
promise himself and grant a"permit"
to the party who has thus taken adj
vantage of him. Surely, then, there
is only one side to this question, viz:
To follow the directions of law.3
This discussion is plain and has
been made so purposely. The Co.
Superintendent does not want to bear
any more responsibility of this kind.
The examinations for the fall are
about ended and we shall be aole
finally to square up, but not on the
plan here proposed We can make
new start and set the matter straight
next spring. Too many persons say
on coming in for examination, al did
not intend to teach; just took no.
ton the other day that would
couldn't do much else this winter"
These persons are not ready TO
teach. Don't teach for chance. Chance
work is universally poor anywhere,
especially in teaching. Those who
know that they intend to teach can
have time for examination before be-
ginning, and the books show up then
all right.
