The Importance and significance
of the brief speeches of Mr.. TILDEN
and Mr.. HENDRICKS lie in the fact
that both speakers indicate the main
feature of the politics Of the future,
Which is also the main feature of the
politics of to-day. 1t is the crushing
of the fraud which was begun in No
vcmber and consummated in March.
Mr.. TILDEN dwelt on this to the ex-
clusion of everything else. After.
characterizing the fraud as the "most
%portentous event in Il political his
tory" the greatest wrong that has
stained irrational annals" lie said:
"The question now is whether our
elective system, in its substance as
well as its form, is to be maintained.
This is the question of questions.
Until it is finally settled there can be
no politics founded on inferior ques-
tons of administrative policy, Tin
wolves the whole system Of popular
government, The people must sig
nally condemn the great wrong which
has been done to them. They must
strip the example Of everything that
can attract imitators. They must re-
fuse a prosperous immunity to crime.
This is not all. The people will not
be able to trust the authors OF bene-
fciaries of the wrong to devise rene
dies. But when those who condemn
the wrong shall have the power, they
must devise the measure which shall
render 4 repetition of the wrong for
ever impossible" -,
Mr.. HENDRICKS was no less en-
phatic than Mr.. TILDEN in his words
on this subject. Said he:
"The result 1.-THE counting in OF
HAYES is not, and cannot be made,
satisfactory to the country, for the
obvious reason that it was not true.
a great and sincere people will rest
their final Judgment only upon truth,
and never upon fraud successful
through technicality. The people
cannot allow the selection of their
Chief Magistrate to become 4 thing
Of chance, or of sharp practice. The
fraud first triumphant in American
history must be assigned to its prop.
er place among the crimes against
popular government, and made SC
odious that no party will dare to at
tempt its repetition. He who is elect.
ed President must be inaugurated.
Until hat is settled and made sure,
no Democrat can be seduced from
his devotion and allegiance in any
way"
These remarks of Mr.. TILpEN and
Mr.. HENDRICKS are sound, just. and
sagacious. They indicate the doom
of Hayesism, and give assurance that
fraud will be overthrow and pun,
ished.

The raids from Mexico into Texas
are of no small moment. The thiev-
ing greasers often drive away from
300 to 500 horses and mules at a sin
gle raid, and large droves of cattle
reaching occasionally in numbers to
over q thousand head are stolen.
The government however should not
proceed hastily but with due consid-
Grafton. A following Of the raiders
into Mexico would be an act of war.
War had best be formally declared
after a demand upon the Mexican
authorities to prevent these raids.

The Iowa State Register says:
eve do not believe there is 4 single

and that they 7 out spoken in their
opinion in regard to it. Of the Iowa
Congressman, several of them, We
know 7 opposed to it, and it is safe
to say that both our Senators have
the gravest of apprehensions in re-
gard to it and great distrust of it."

TO THE SUMMER TOURIST.

Those OF our citizens who are fortunate enough
to be able to seek respite from the labors Of the
business season just closed. and to recuperate
their energies at some of the many delightful
summer resorts to be found In the Northern
States and Canada, will be glad to learn that the
old favorite Jackson route, under o vigorous and
efficient management, has become one of the
very best travelling thoroughfares ia the country.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been
expended as we are credibly informed, during
the past twelve months for new iron and steel
rails, new cross-tes and new bridges, and to. day
it may be safely said that no road south Of the
Ohio river surpasses the great Jackson route in
smoothness and perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during The past few weeks, to travel
quite extensively that road, and we can thus,
from actual experience. bear witness to it's ex-
cellence in every particular which goes to consti-
tute good road.

THE RESOLUTIONS AND THAT
PLEDGE.

In the midst OF. the excited discussion which
has arisen from the prosecution OF Wells,
Anderson & Co., and the horror expressed by
some of our Conservative friends-so called
at such breach of faith, it seems strange
that no reference should have been made to
the precise terms of the only pledge made by
those authorized in amy degree to bind the
people. Perhaps the cause OF this may be
that the defense of the Grand Jury and the
District Attorney derived from other topics
was considered perfectly conclusive; IN which
Judgment we fully concur. Yet we think 1t Is
well to look at the terms of the resolution
passed by the Legislature on the Goth OF
April, in which the position of the
Nichols government was clearly
defined. The second paragraph of the third
section declares its purpose to be: The en-
forcement of the la,cs rigidly and impartially,
to The end that violence and crime shalt be sup

There is touch of the heroic in all the move

and is an improved edition Of his grim and
severe, but not so heroic, though really cour-
ageous father, old Nicholas. Alexander's bear
ing in the present war has been more noble
and impressive than that of Nicholas In the
too precipitately provoked and disastrously
conducted Crimean war.
Much of the wisdom and success which
have marked the administration OF Alexander
are ascribed to the influence OF his wife, a
German lady of tact, education and wisdom,
who has so conducted the government OF her

No people who contribute so largely to the
wealth of the country, whose toll and art
move all the agencies by which commerce
and capital are enabled to reach the condition
SO POLITICALLY described in the Holy Book as
that of "the lilies Of the valley, that neither
toll nor spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was
never arrayed like one of these;" no people
occupying this important social position will
ever consent to starve or see their wives and
little ones suffer for the necessaries and COM
forts Of llfe or submit peacefully to the laws
which are invoked to compel their submits
sion, without striking blow Of revenge and
desperation against those whom they regard
as their oppressors.
The strikers at the North are of this char
acter. They are simply the natural express
sons of that ancient enmity of labor against
capital, of labor which produces all the
wealth that is appropriated by the capitalist
and expended by him in business and high
living. The burned and besmoked engineer
driving the locomotive which draws the palace
car bearing Presidents Garrett and Scott,
RECALLING their friends, generally political
and lawnaking dighitaries with the most
costly wines and delicacies; the engineer
thinking of his half starved and ragged wife
and little ones, and of the threatened further
reduction Of his meagre salary, requires but
little encouragement or stimulus to associate
in violent destruction and desperate efforts to
resist and overcome the lawful authority
which protects the capitalist in his exclusive
privilege and unequal share Of the profits
from railroad enterprises.
OF course the laborer does not reflect upon
| l.; ;,4o TO
legal defenders Of capital, and realize that
he has no relief save in the entire
revolution of our political and social
organizations. He does not see how,
in the attempt to obtain by force more
just and remunerative rate OF compensation,
he is losing everything and impoverishing his
brethren who would gladly accept his reduced
wages and manage to exc out subsistence
thereon His passions are kindled to the reck-
less fury and desperation of the incendiary or
suicide, and he plunges into the wild and de-
vastating scenes now witnessed in Pittsburg.
Whilst we see no possible relief to the la
borers, but only vast aggravation OF their
Affections from the remedy resorted to by
them, we cannot withhold our sympathy
from them in their sufferings from the hard
ships and injustice with which they have been
treated by combinations Of capitalists.
These terrible results, as well as many other
sad consequences of the speculative spirit
which has ragged in this country for the last
fifteen years, convey the most impressive ar
guments in favor of the necessary reforms
in our legal and political systems, by which
labor and industry may be better protected,
and the power of capital and of monopoly to
oppress labor be placed under more effective
restraints than at present exist.

pressed and promptly punished, and that peace
and order prevail, and that the humblest
laborer upon the soil Of Louisiana throughout
every parish In the State, of either color, shall
receive the full and equal protection of the
laws In person, property, political rights and
privileges" The fifth paragraph says: De-
sirous of healing the discussions that have
disturbed the State for years past, and anx-
| ious that the citizens of oil political parties
may be free from the feverish anxieties of
political strife and join hands In honestly
restoring the prosperity of Louisiana, the
Nichols government will discountenance any
attempted persecution, from any quarter, of
individuals for past political conduct"
1t is evident that this resolution, instead of
giving immunity to crime, as has been con-
tended absolutely pledges the public authori-
ties to prosecute 1t with rigid impartiality
| to the end that 1t may be suppressed and con-
fidence in the efficient administration Of the
law, which Is the most essential condition of
| prosperity, be restored. It discountenances
any persecution for past political conduct, but
we have yet to learn that the prosecution OF
man for crime can be SO regarded no matter
what the motive which may have actuated It,
We're the Grand Jury possessed of informa-
ton that white man had killed negro last
fall. would 1t be justified in ignoring it because
1t was convinced that the deed had been COM
mitted for political purpose? II it
did so, would not every Radical sheet
in the land be sounding the tocsin !;
would not Blaine and Morton and their
conductors be shaking the bloody shirt
in every county of the North We know
that they would, and we know that, to GER
tain extent, they would be right In SO doing
Their denunciations would be well merited by
such officials, and would only be unjust in be-
ing extended beyond their proper sphere
Why do not the same principles apply in
judging the conduct of those who have ini-
tiated these proceedings against Wells, An
derson a. Co.? They have simply discharged
their duty as sworn public officials and given
effect to the terms Of this resolution which 1t
is falsely asserted eondoned the crimes of
those men. Such conformation must have
met The severe apprehension of all correct
thinking men; but no man can find a word or
phrase in this resolution to which he can rea-
sonably object The crime of which these
men are accused Is In its simplest form very
grave and Infamous one. In view of
the circumstances under which and
the purposes for which it is charged
to have been committed by them it Is
u far more serious blow at the in
tegrity and safety of society than
even the murder to which we have re-
ferred. We know that the Legislature has
not given them immunity, but quite the con-
trary. The prudent manner in which Gov
Nichols put aside the exceedingly improper
suggestions of Judge Whitaker shows that
he is a careful, thoughtful lawyer, and war;
rants the inference that he could never have
been party to any bargain for compromising
felony

incident, which may be proftab1y treasured
in the memories Of aspiring young ladies,
that when Alexander was prince and
visited the Court of the Grand Duke Of
Hesse Darmstadt for the purpose Of choosing
wife from his several elegant and beautiful
daughters, he passed by those of the young
ladies who were arrayed in jewels and silks
and fixed his choice upon the modest sister,
who sat apart from the others in simple
white dress without ornaments. And this
Cinderella became Marie Alexandrovna the

1t is necessary, in these times, for people to
keep their check books securely concealed and
locked up. Yesterday the Assistant Treasurer
was called on to pay check issued by a
Federal officer for $500, which was evidently
regularly numbered and torn from the book
given by the Treasurer to Federal officers
who have the right to draw on the Treasury.
The amount of the draft being in excess of
the sum to the credit of the officer in ques-
ton, the holder was detained until the official
could be sent for. He pronounced the check
forgery as to his signature, though it had
been evidently cut from his check book.
