States, but l cite the State OF Tennessee because
it is the one with which l am the most familiar
The good people of Tennessee took the opportu-
nifty 10 1861, when called upon TO vote upon the
question of secession or Union, for that plain
y the question presented to them when asked to
decide whether they would call sovereignty con-
vention-the people of that State, by an over
whelming majority, rebuked the politicians who
were trying to carry Tennessee into the so-cslled
Southern Confederacy. They said, I'VE will
stand by the Union and remain under the old flag"
Notwithstanding the loyal people OF that State
were in the ascendency, Notwithstanding this 10y
al majority was made up Of the white men of the
State, who had never known slavery, and whose
ancestors had uever borne the burden of the yoke
Of human slavery-notwithstandng this, the Leg
slature of Tennesse, under the manipulation OF
lsham G. Harris its Governor, in secret session
formed a military leagne with that so-caHed
Southern Confederacy, at Montgomery, Ala, and
they controlled the sentiment of the State OF
Tennessee and compelled the people, under inti-
midation, acts of violence, and of outrage ana
wrong TO submit and acquesce in their efforts to
take the State out of the Union. Now, if the
Southern leaders could intimidate the white men
if they could by frand and violence thus use a
race of people who had never been in state of
slavery, how much more likely is it that the same
means used upon race of people just emerged
from a long, dark night of 200 years of human
how much more likely is it that these means will
control these people for the purposes of political
leaders. That, gentlemen, makes the solid South.
Yet the Democratic party has the etfrontely to
stand before you calling itself patriotic party,
nnsectional, and they charge that the Republican
party is the party of sectional hates and Jealouses
and prejudiccs.

After the Skirmish.

The smoke on the skirmsh line has roll
ed away. AT every point of the line our
forces have gained decided advantages.
In Ohio we have routed the enemy and
hold every vital position overlooking the
November field. In Indiana our defeat
has been equal to a victory.
Despite the desperation of the enemy
We have advanced almost to the inner
works. Every outpost of Importance has
been taken. Holman, the democratic
captain. has been captured and the entire
line of democracy has been so badly shat
tered that when we bring up the big guns
in November the field must be ours.
On the whole. our victory is most cheer
ing and substantial. 1t is not sweeping
in its character, but even better; for while
it ;nspirits republicans it also teaches them
the necessity Of vigorous policy in those
States ranked among the doubtful.
Forward must be the watchword until
sunset of Nov. 7th. The people are with
US and their expectations must not be dis
appointed. The army of freedom and
progress has been successful on the Skin
mish line. Vermont, Maine, Colorado,
Ohio and Indiana all have indicated Il
growth of public sentiment strong and
deep in our favor.
The November struggle will be des-
perate one. Democracy will die hard
Every possible means, fair or foul, within
Its control will be brought to bear TO over
throw the republican party and the loyal
intelligence which supports it.
The issue is too plain for any one to be
deceived. 1t is fight between the forces
Of loyalty and intelligence on one hand
aud disloyalty and ignorance on the other
A solid South for Tilden means the ole
rebel element united in his support. The
question now is, shall the unity of thi
element with the ignorance Of the Nortl
win at the ballot boxP VIII the combina
ton al the polls prove stronger than oil
the battlefield? For the loyal people o
America we answer, no! The combina
tion viii be defeated. utterly destroyed il
November, and the party that to-day GOV
cts victory through this corrupt infuenc
will be overwhelmingly repudiated by tn
people. The Republic.

When GRANT selected Jim" TYNER for
Postmaster General TO succeed Mr.. JEWELL,
he had fun knowledge of all his peculiar
qualifications aud Of his valuable services
10 the country. They were of KIND to
suit his tastes exactly. For example, TY-
NER took the beneh: OF the bankrupt law
the day after his election to Congress in
1863. That purifying process enabled him
to go 10 Washington free Of membranes,
and since then he has contrvcd, like many
of his Republican associates in the House
10 live On the fat OF the land, TO become a
property holder, to keep on hand good
supply OF greenbacks, and TO indulge a
strong taste for speculation.
GRANT concluded that bankrupt who
could do all this out of four sessions of
Congress must be n shrewd fellow, and
worth taking care of. But what most COM
mcnded him TO favor was the fact that
TYNER stood conspicuous among the noble
band Of back-pay GIabbers IL the Forty
second Congress- so Conspicuous, indeed,
that his constituents refused 10 renominate
him then, and reiterated that refusal Il
few weeks ago. when he had the clIrOutery
to press himself forward again as Il caudi-
date.
During the progress Of the salary steal in
the House, TYNER was always on the look
out 10 vote under BUrLER's lead when alb
so'utcly required, or to dodge when he
could be spared, in the hope Of escaping
responsibility. His part was studied and
rchcarsed with care. aud the record shows
how he moved about like political aero
bat, watching the chances Of the bin with
a quick eye, and nj the same time seeking
to cyadc every test that might be danger
Gus AT home.
Ills constituents could not be cheated by
this trickery, because they discovered that
while occupying the chair on the bill lac
had rendered a decision, or at least claimed
20 have done so, when the question was
raised by Mr. DAWES, which gave the grab
beers an Immense advantage, and in fact

JERSEY CITY, July 10.
OF course the fishing is destroyed by dumping
nlthin the bay. Three or four years ago there
was excellent sport IN the places referred to
but then the "nshing grounds" as the flvorite
places arc chilled, were not covered
with black mud from the scows o the Dock
Department and Board of Health. A fisherman
may now sail over some parts Of the lower bay,
especially near the Swash Channel and nnl
three or four feet Of water where there was
formerly twelve or fourteen, and wherever he
casts his AN h1r he Is sure to bring 1t up cover
ed with mud and dirt. AT lrst sight this
may seem an ex1ggerati1n; but when we
consider how vigorously the work Of dumping
has been carried on during the last three wears
II is easily understood. The tug boat Manhat-
tan. employed by the Dock Department, never
brings out less than FIVE scows, and makes one
trip each dav, or six trips a week. At least Ave
more scows L. dcd with hlth from the city are
sent out daily bv tho Boari Of Health and by
contractors. This makes ten ecJvs a day, and
~ each scow carries about 100 IONS, we have
6,OOO week. or 3l2,0O0 tons wear, counting the
weeks IN winter, Tor last winter there wa no Ice
In the bdv, and the work ~ dumping went on
without Interruption. During the two previous
ve'rs the DUN DING must have amounted to
about 10000 tons. Add to this the $4,000 tons
for this year, and we have over 10000 tons uf
filthy mud thrown over the fishing grounds Of
the Lower Bay ih three years. Aud the work
still goes on. No wonder our friends can't
cat h Il -h; no wonder btthers often complain
Of onal 10 tug in the water. No later than ves-
terday dead horses could be seen floating about
on Governors Isl nd, brought up with tue tide
frOn the lower bay.
The movement which Is now on foot Co en-
force the law against this Outrage Is welcomed
by the residents of Long Island and sta en

that II the abuse complained OF were stopped
now In year or two the mud would become
covered with weed and FISH food. hich
would bring the fish back ugain but for this
year they al agree that the fishing Is destroyed.
