F0RsAKEN.

And now the Democrats themselves are
beginning to decry the name and fame Of
their leader. 1t was but . few months
since, when Tilden was presented as an
angel among men, the very embodiment
Of honesty and reform. His associates
Wed with each other in doing honor to
his'name. and so long ss there was hope
Of success, every honor and respect was
paid tc the illustrious man. But now
that the choice has fallen on Hayes. a
telegram comes from the East that Tilden
never was the real choice of the Dem
ocratic party, that his nomination never
excited the enthusiasm of the better men
of the party, and that one and all were
disguised with the Oregon affair. This
covered the reputation of the Reformer
with slime, vet he was too blind to be
cognizant of the truth. 1t is freely
granted, we are told, that he is . sound
Democrat in principle; few doubt that
he would have called able men about
him had he became President
But his fussiness, his propensity to de-
lay what should be done at once. his
vice of working by indirect. mysterious
and secret means, his constant inter-
ference in petty details and his appar-
emily insatisble grasp for power and in
flence, his want of we'll balanced and
steady judgment, and the increasing
belief that he was fighting for his own
hand rather than for the party, all these
things have thoroughly alienated great
number of Democratic members and
Senators from him and the regret at
their defeat and the irritation at what
they believed to be injustice is not in
tensified by any sorrow for him. This
all comes by the telegraph from Wash
ingtoB, and now that the truth is told,
We are sorry for the Democracy. for Til
den it's advocate, and for its pride and
boast in the campaign. retrenchment and

The World saws that the most sug-

THE World says that the most sug-
gestive point in Governor Hampton's
message is that in which he mentions
the fact that there is among the public
records of South Carolins q teachers
pay certificate to which q school board
consisting of three members have af-
liked their signatures in the shape OF
crosses, thus indirectly attesting the
competency of another to teach while
acknowledging their own incapacity
to form any judgment as 20 whether
he was competent or not. Such an in
cldent 10 like to the opening Of 9 win
dow, and gives Us startling view Of
the recent condition of things in the
PROSTATE State. It has been the boast
of the Republican party in the South
that, no matter what sins Of commits
sion and omission it was guilty Of in
regard to other matters, it had always
been faithful in the work of educating
the people; but here is evidence to
show the nature Of the hands into
which the public schools were put;
and when men who could neither read
nor write were made trustees it 10 easy
to believe that the funds were squan-
dered, the schools misnansged and
the whole system Of popular education
rendered useless. This sad example
of the evil which may come from COM
mitting the task Of government to the
ignorant classes of the community
shows that they are incompetent even
to look after their own interests, and
that they not only overthrow the State
but crush themselves in its ruins.

THE New York Herald says

The name of the Republican party
became odious In the South because
of the Encouragement of the corrupt
csrpet-bsggers; but, now that their
misrule is over and tho President has
won the respect of Southern men for
his new policy, this odium will rapidly
die away.
The Herald il probably mistaken.
The antipathy to the name of a party
is greater and more enduring than to
its purposes or creed. There are Old
Wings everywhere in the South who
have ever voted with the Democrats
since the war, and yet have always
torn off the word Democratic" from
their tickets wherever it occurred.
Southern Union men, who fought in
the Southern army through the war,
still abhor the word ''secessionist, {"
and the Herald and Ar. Hayes will
find it impossible to induce these peo-
pc of the South to accept the designs-
t;ol Republicans" even when they
may approve every principle and pur-
p sc illustrated in the acts and ieclara-
tions of the President. The Herald
is pleased to say it has no doubt that
we shall have q. reformation of parties {;
and that the Pres dent, who is q great
political force, will be able to influ-
snce this recast of our politics, and
will do 50. But he Is a cautious man.
He remarked, in his inaugural mes
sage, that she serves his party best who
ser, es his country best" and we do
not doubt that his theory of parties
involves but little direct or forcible in
reference on his part to produce or
hasten changes, but an effort, by the
institution of wise reforms and by the
selection of honest and capable public
officers in all parts of the country, to
win the favor of the public for bis
policy. A consistent and quiet course
Of this kind will do much not only to
draw to him the best part of the people,
but to give US . rest from political e1-
citement, which the country very much
needs.

FoR many years American and Eng
lish Christianity has been sending mis-
scenarios to China, and now China
proposes to send missionaries to the
United States. A splendid Buddhist
temple is to be erected in New York
City, and . priest speaking English
and educated in . New England col
lege, is to be the preacher. He is
profound scholar, and, having
thoroughly mastered the English
language, is fully capable of pre-
senting his views to an American
audience. He is q very pious man, and
being filled with sorrow at the spiritual
ignorance Of the blind followers of
Christianity, has devoted himself with
rare fervor to the thankless work of Q
missionary. We quote in this his own
language. The learned ChinanAn far
ther says:
81 will arrange, if possible, for q
public discussion between Buddhist
and Baptist, if the Baptist will consent
to it. They have made an assertion
which We construe as q challenge, and
now We propose to let them show, if
they can, chapter and verse in their
own Bible to substsntiate their views,
and Wong Ching Foo will demonstrate
the falsity of such views. / would
like to arrange to have the discussion
in the hall of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, and l shall try to do
so; but in any case Buddhism will be
taught to such of the people of New
York as will listen"

scious that the destruction Of the anti
podal party OF Rsdicslism must be ST.
multsneously snnihilsted, the neWspa-
per does not hesitate to accept the en-
tire result as eminently desirable. By
the way, the Methodist ChristiaH AdcO-
cate, of Galveston, gives vent to much
the same feelings and pronounces just
AID deserved encomium upon President
Hayes. The Galveston Nsrcs is almost
persu sded to concur With the CitisSn
and with the STATESMAN, and there is
not wanting any evidence of that pro-
gress of opinion which win relieve the
South as efisctually Of the moral des-
potism Of party as Of that Of the bay
onet stricken down by the President
in Louisiana and South Carolina. The
Texas Christian Adrocdte says:
President Hayes, as the exponent of
the Constitution, deserves the sympa-
thy and support of all citizens. To
him belongs the honor of the first in
auguration OF overt measures for the
relief of oppressed communities and
the establishment of that civil suprem-
acy SO necessary to the welfare OF
republican institutions. Upon the
broad and solid foundation of equal
rights to all sections of our land aa6
all races of our people the progress of
the current popular life must prove
beneficial If not extraordinary. Our
weary and unsettled people have long
and ardently desired that rest which
these liberal and statesmanlike meas
ures would seem to guarantee them.
The hate and strife that are generated
and perpetuated by a sectional legisla-
tion aud partisan administration may
now fold their dark wings and Dink
into their proper place-the abyss of
the past. Hope bright plumed and
jnyful, springs from the vantage
ground Of civil, religious and social
liberty, and adjusts its bold pinions for
no common fight into the free air OF
future possibility. Industry revives on
every hand and stretches out its hands
for protected labor, Capital emerges
from its retreats, and unlocks those re-
positories in which have been csnnily
hidden away tho means of combins-
tion, large enterprise and public pro-
gress.
A new era has. dawned upon our
land, and every citizen should devoutly
thank the Supreme Master Of all for
the brighter day that has dawned upon

OUR readers who read the tsle-
gram from Kemper county, Missis-
sippi, two days ago reciting details of
series of bloody deeds should know
that Kemper's condition is due to
wretcAed governments to which the
people have been subjected for fifteen
years past. The bottom rail is on top
in Nashoba and the schoolmaster is
stranger in those parts. Public offices
have been the prey of strangers and
of knaves and only now and then have
the white people selected local officers.
OF course the people have been plum
dersd to poverty and driven to des-
peration by remorseless tax-gatherers.
In fact, Grartlsm in Mississippi nstu-
rally eliminated in devilish deeds.
John w. Gully, recently assassinated
in Kemper county, Mississippi, was the
leading Democrat of the county. He
was sheriff before and during the late
war and was removed by the military
governor. The Republicans dreaded
him more than any other politician in
the county. He once had a difficulty
with Ben Rush, his alleged assassin.
In that affray Sam Gully was killed by
Ben Rush. He was brother of John
W. Gully, and was trying to prevent
the fight. Ben Rush was tried for
this offense and was acquitted. Ben
Rush was severely shot in this fight by
John w. Gully. Ben Rush, after this,
was shot at night by an assassin and
severely injured. He was the last
Republican circuit clerk of the coun-
ty. He was also deputy sheriff
for q number of years and q
native of Kemper county. His father
was Universallst preacher. The Gul-
lYs are very popular in the county :;
four of them have held the Office OF
sheriff of the countY-the father and
three sons. Judge Chisolm, the lead
ing Republican of the county, was sp-
pointed probate judge by the military
governor (Aues), and was Afterwards
elected sheriff three times. He was
the Republican candidate for Congress
at the last election, but was defeated
by Hon. q. R. Singleton overwhelm-
ingly. Hopper was once sheriff Of the
county by military appointment, and
was q prominent member of the Re-
publican party of the county. Rosen-
baum was also leading local Republi-
can, and once held the Office of chan
Gerry clerk. John Gilmer vss the last
Republican State Senator representing
the district composed of the counties
of Noxubie, Kemper and Neshoba. He
was defeated by Mr.. Foote, Of Macon,
at the last election. He was once dep
uty sheriff of Warren county Vicks-
burg under the notorious negro shsr-
i'll Crosby. He shot Crosby, bat failed
to kill him, while be Was his deputy.

Hon. DAVE CULBERsoN saw fit, in
defending himself and his action in
Congress, to refer in kindly terms to
the different conduct of Mr.. Mills.
The Dallas Herald, thereupon, warns
Culberson of the danger he incurs. 1t
says persecution from that direction
would make Mills Governor" The
wish is father to the thought. Mills,
if anybody, is the prosecutor. 1t is
Mills, and not the innocent, lamb-like
Culberson, who muddies the stream.
The Herald intimates very plainly
that men like Culberson, Hancock,
Seth Shepard and Throckmorton (nam-
ing them) are easily crushed, as shown
by the luck of Coke. We have only
to say that whenever the Herald or Mr..
Mills chooses to make the issue direct,
it will be shown that If the great body
of the people ever went mad they are
sane now, and We would gladly see
Culberson or Throckmorton or Hub
bard pitted against one of those blessed
fellows who Is still for war, whose
mouth smokes like blazing torch and
his-ears like q tarkIln.
