IN FOREIGN LANDS, June 80, 1876
To Samuel J. TiIdea:
When left the sheriff said you would make
it all right with him. Give the old fat rascal
$4,000 for my sake and charge to my account.
1t will shut his mouth tighter nor the lid of
screwed-up coffin. Physically speaking, am
hunky -dory. When you are elected the Court
of St. James will do for me. would like to
be Secretary of State, but the climate of
America don't harmonize with my tempera-
ment. WILLIAM NJ. TWEED.
Mrs. Mix insists on placing flannel blanket
on the foot Of the bed for protection in case of
a sudden change of weather. For six consec-
utive nights Mr.. Mix has flung that blanket
across the room, and once out of the window.
Night before last he folded it carefully, and,
sitting down on the edge of the bed, said
"Mrs. Mix, if / were Othello and you were
Desdemona for just about two minutes l
would get up tomorrow a widower, and be-
fore the sun set Iwould marry adouble-breasted
iceberg and be happy"
The ciyil-service declaration In the st. Louis
platform is mere cant. The author of the
platform would be laughed at If he should Sc
riously express the opinion that Mr.. Tiiden, If
elected, will retain all the Republicans in
subordinate offices against whom no objection
can be made but their politics.-Ne1O York
Herald.
That is in every sense of the word a correct
assertion. When Samuel Tilden, with his mar
shaled cohorts of Democratic doughfaces from
the North and his army of ex-Confederates
from the South comes down upon the national
civil service like the Assyrian wolves on the
fold, it will take q very long time to find a
Republican official In any of the Departments
Of the Government.
One week ago hundreds of the leading Dem
ocratic politicians and many of their most
prominent presses were vociferously engaged
in pronouncing Samuel ]. Tilden as a hum
bug, trickster, and generally unreliable and
dangerous man. To-day the voice of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, the sonorous tones of John
Kelly and the oily editorials of the New York
Express are resounding with the high notes of
praise Of the st. Louis nominee. While he
was merely candidate for nomination he was
a very bad man, but the moment he became
the bona fde candidate for the Presidency he
was transformed into thing Of beauty and .
joy forever. Democratic consistency "beats
the beat"
General Jubal Early says "Governor Hayes
served only once with the Army of the Po-
tomac, and that was at South Mountain, in
Cox's division, from Western Virginia. His
other service was in the Army Of West Yir-
ginis. His military career was so obscure
that his name is not even mentioned in the
published reports, and though now he is rep
resented to have done wonders under Sheridan
in the Valley never heard of him before in
that capacity" 1t is quite natural for an ex-
rebel like Jubal Early to depreciate the char
acter Of Union soldier. This same man,
while in the Shenandoah valley, used to get
up in the morning and swear whole hour at
would not let him come into Washington and
destroy the Capitol and public buildings.tAs
he was then, SO is he now, lighting for'the De-
mocracy. -. -
Among the many mistakea made by the St.
LOUIS convention there fsAone> from the evil
effects of which the Democracy can never re-
cover. The women, who appealed to them for
recognition, were snubbed. 1t was only through
the chiyalrous action of the gallant Waiter
son, of the Courier-Jonrndl, that one of their
number, beautiful and attractive in person,
found an audience in the convention. They
smiled at her curt remarks, looked grave
when the spoke wisely, and then left the wo-
mems interest entirely out of their platform.
Had thsy been sure of success before this
would have killed them. Woman is power,
and the Republicans at Cincinnati recognized
this fact. She is the quiet undercurrent in
national. State and local politics, whose con-
slant and never-fsiling pressure is felt percep-
t:5ly in every quarter of the country. "When
aRoman will, she will, and when she won't,
she won't, and you can depend IN It," This
