After all the Democratic howls owe,

Republican party, let us read portion
OF letter written by him to H. c.

invitation to address mass netting in

81 consider the election of HAYES
and Wheeler of. .greatEimportance to the
whole country, but especially to the
South. | have the utmost confidence in
the patriotism, purity of character and
courage of Gov. Hayes. His letter of
acceptance gives the highest evidence
and most satisfactory guaranty of his
thorough understanding of the true is
sues of this campaign and of his in
flexible purpose to carry out his own
and his party's promise. lie has not
been content to follow in the beaten
path of candidates for the higl office
of the Presidency He has not con-
fined himself to glittering generalities.
lie not only points out clearly and
concisely what he considers great
evil of long standing in administrative
practice. but suggests the true remedy
md gives the highest assurance of his
firm purpose to apply it. The return
OF the Democratic party to power with
It's present organization would be ca
lamltous to the South and mischievous
to The North"

The plan of the Tilden campaign is
very simple. 1t is to carry the South
solid, and to that vote add the Elec.
toral vote of New York and Indiana
This will give more than enough votes
to elect. The extreme nervousness
Of the Democracy about carrying South
Carolina shows how necessary the vote
of that state is to the success of their
plan. The way to checkmate thi.
movement is to break the solid pha.
lanx of Southern states, and wrest from
them one of the two large Northern
states upon whose vote their hopes de-
pend. For the Republicans to carry
either North or South Carolina, with
New YORK or Indiana, defeats the
Tilden plan and elects Hayes. Here,
then, is hint to the Republicans to
bend their energies to carry each one
Of these four states. Their electoral
votes decide the contest.

The JEWS OF NEW YoRK.-The
Jews of New York are solidly against
Tilden. One of the reasons for this is
given in the Hebrew Record as follows:
"When Samuel j. Tilden was a
member of the New York Senate. he
introduced bill in that body which
deprived the Hebrew citizens of the
State of certain rights and privileges
He claimed that Hebrews were not fit
to be American citizens. For this the
Jews of New York city are forming a
powerful organization to oppose him
What shame it is that our Hebrew
citizens canDot stand little re-
form. Perhaps they didn't understand
that Tilden only intended to reform
them"

The New York Tribune, ia COM
menting on Gov. Tilden's Sou hern
claims letter, says: The effective
Southern approaches to the Treasury
are likely to be made by covered ways.
If the South cannot be reimbursed d.
rectly for its losses by the war, it can
indirectly. 1t can have enormous sub
sides granted to build railroads out
into the wilderness, to dig new lines OF
water communication, to rebuild
broken levees, to repair in hundred
ways the ravages Of war by public i'm
provements, to distribute throughout
the whole Southern region, under such
covers, the same money which it would
be plainly impossible to get on a direct
appeal for reimbursement Against
this, which is the real danger, Cover
nor Tilden gives, and can give, no
guarantee. II he should be elected
President it would be by the vote of
the solid South. Who supposes that
after that solid South learned It's power
it would fail to use it? 1t would be
the controlling element of the Demo
cratic party, and that party would con-
troll Congress and the administration .

onenbach,s visit to America.

Offenbach is well known in this country.
His music is played by every band and
IN every theatre it is sung, hummed,
whistled, and no composer, perhaps, has
such an extensive audience as he 1t takes
years of education to create the appreciation
for Wagner and Beethoven which we find at
the concerts of Mr.. Theodore Thomas, but
Ofenbach became popular favorite at a
bound. Napoleon had the same playful way
of taking his friends by the ear. So when
the famous composer visits us this year he
will come to country where there are
millions of his admirers. All who know the
music that has given so much pleasure will
be delighted to know the man; and the as
surance from his own lips, through the
letter which we print from our Paris
correspondent, that he has resolved to
come to America at last, will give general
satisfaction. NJ. Offenbach's opinions of the
impediments to musical progress in the
United States are decidedly interesting, but
we are not prepared to accept them alto
gether. He seems to regard opera as an
exotic or dollhouse plant that cannot bios
som in the open air. He thinks that operate
managers fail in America because they are
not sure of public support; but although
that may be sometimes the case the fault is
not as rule that of the public. The Ameri-
can people will pay high price for good
music, but they will not pay it for an infe-
rior company. M. Offenbach honors this
country with some very high compliments,
and says that cit possesses o degree of
wealth, refinement and intelligence that but
few of the older nations can boast Of" AL
most all of our visitors come with such
enthusiasm but few of them possess it
when they return. We trust that the great
inventor of opera bogfe will have a more for
tunate experience, and that, as he brings q
triumphal march with him, he will not go
back with dirge.

Line and stan.

The way to settle the whole quarrel be-
tween the line and staff of the navy as to
the question of rank is for Congress to
adopt bill assimilating oil the grades of
the service. In the army when cadets grad
uate from West Point they are assigned to
the ordnance and engineers, the artillery,
infantry and cavalry, according to their fit
ness. Now, why should not the same plan
be adopted in the navy? The doctors might
be made special class. Instead of appoint
ing doctors for life let the navy department
before each cruise engage competent physi-
clans for the trip. There are many doctors
fresh from the college-who have not settled
for life-who would be glad of chance for a
cruise in the navy before entering upon
their professional careers at home. So that
the interests of the service would be pro-
tected by this plan-even better than now
when we have doctors for life, who are in n
constant fret because they cannot be cap
detailed from the line as quartermasters and
commissaries are detailed in the army.
Then their rank will go with their service
Let the engineers and the marine officers be
appointed from the cadets at Annapolis as
we now appoint the ordnance and engineer
officers in the army.
This would be an advantage in every way.
A marine officer should be q good infantry
and artillery officer. AS it now is marine
officers are generally selected from the
cadets who fail at the academies and have
influence in Washington. Engineers are
taken from boiler shops and ship yards
Now in a navy where we have so many steam
vessels engineering is as important science
as it is in the army. The engineer in the
army is taken from the head of his class
Why should it not be so in the navy2 The
most important function on q steam war yes
sci, after the commander, is the engineer.
He should be an officer of the highest attain
ments. The commander should know how
to direct the engines, the engineer should
know how to command the vessel. plan
Of this kind would settle this vexed question
Of rank. Let the studies at Annapolis be so

an immense amount of damage all over
the country, and particularly along the
coast. Railroad travel has been much i'm,
peded on account of the washing out
of the tracks. The damage to railroads
has been very great in New England,
where the storm prevailed with extraordinary
force. Several landslides have occurred and
the rivers are thoroughly cleared of ice by
the down pouring floods. The storm was
attended with considerable loss of life in
New England, owing to the sudden rise in
the rivers and the inundation of exposed
sections of the country.
