JUDGE FIELD SHOULD TELL
I'LL THE FACTS.

The Baltimore Gazette makes the fol
lowing comment ..upoa Judge Fields
recent explanations:
''We regret that Justice Field has al
owed feelings of delicacy, vsry cred
liable In themselves, to restrain him
from giving to the world the whole
truth about this shocking scandal. He
may be sure that neither the Republi-
cans nor MIR. Bradley himself will an
preclate the motive which prompts
him to spare the latter's reputation.
justice Field. whose character Is ack-
nowledged by both parties to be above
suspicion, may be sure that whatever
he may say upon this subject will be
implicitly believed and he should saw
1t without further delay"
We are not SO sure that this is good
advice. The proper place for Judge
Field to speak fully oa this subiec,
Will be before a committee of III,
House of Representatives, un Ter tbe
solemnity of an oath.

AgOuts.

Vice President Wheeler and President
Hayes are at outs. They do not fratein-
ize. MIR. Wheeler sterDly opposes the
Presidents policy, predicting from IL
the very worst results, and assuring those
who have faith in it that they will, one
of these days, learn to know what mis-
take has been made, which will lead to
irreparable mischiefr Mr.. Hayes having
more confidence, poohs poohs Mr..
Wheeler's fears, and points complacently
to what has already been accomplished
in the way of peace and reconciliation,
and how, under the new policy, the
South is beginning to blossom as rose.
In the meantime, while these Republi-
can chieftians have agreed to disagree,
the Democrats are wisely pursuing the
even tenor of their way, and are quietly
marching ON to victory.-Ph iladelphia

TRYING HAYESS TITLE IN THE
COURTS.

Congress meets in something less than
seven weeks, and its duties will be numer-
Gus and very weigLty.
The bill which organized the Electoral
Commission contains a clause providing
that the decision of that body, whether in
vavor OF Hayes or Tldcn, should not IN any
way invalidate or diminish the right OF the
defeated party to carry the case before the
Judicial tribunals of the country. An opin-
ion prevails, however, among able lawyers
although dissenting view is sometimes
expressed that this clause of the bill ls
practicacaly inoperate for the reason that
there IS no method provided in.the law by
which the rights OF the person who was
counted out by the Electoral Commission
can be asserted and carried into effect.
Meanwhile evidence accumulates showing
not only the facts of the frauds in Florida
and Louisiana, through which Mr.. Hayes
occupies his present position, but also their
particulars, details, and methods, SO that
even the most Jealous Republicans, who
until now have clung to shadowy belief
that Mr.. Hayes migl really have been cleo
ted, are becoming convinced b 1t the truth
is not SO, and that Mr.. Iilden is the only
MN who now has any right to be the PRESS
dent of the United States.
This being the case, it becomes preeml-
hehtly tne uuty OF Congress 10 pass law
defining the manner in which this question
may be brought before The proper tribunals,
SO that the evidence may be judicially
taken and an authoritative decision be rem
dered in accordance with truth and Justice
1t has hitherto been objected to such u
proceeding that, as a large proportion of
the Supreme Court of the United States
were members OF the Electoral Commis-
sion, and IN that capacity have already pre-
Judged the question, IL will be useless 10
| bring the matter before them again. To
this we answer that this affords no good
reasons against enacting the necessary law
| Besides, they were in The tribunal as politi-
tlcians. and they acted under the pressure
OF strong party excitement, the facts being
little known to the public, and mems views
OF them blng colored by their party predi'
lections. All that it past. knowledge has
succeeded 10 doubt Hayes has en- tried
and found wanting and calm rtflectioI
has taken the place OF party passion. 1t il
| cannot possible that even prejudiced cour
stand up in the face OF the revelations tina
have been made aud that are yet to b,
made, and maintain the decision OF tn
Electo' al Commission. Justice may nov
be looked for, aud it is the duty OF Congress
to provide the means OF obtaining It,
Very likely Mr.. Hayes would veto such

THE CITY ELECTION takes place on
Tuesday afternoon. The candidates of
the Democratic party are now before the
people, and they all propose, if they
should be elected and have Democratic
majority in the next Council, to
conduct the city government on the NEST
economical principles. That a large
saving can be effected over the cost OF
the present year we have not the least
doubt. With President Bright as the
head of the Council and reliable and
competent chairmen Of the street and
other committees, we have no doubt
under the contract system the city could
be better served for one third less money
than it now is.

GLARINGLY DECEPTIVE AND AuDA-

GLARINGLT DECEPTIVE AND AUDA-
IoUsLY TRICKY.-The statement made
Oy Mr.. II. F. Pickels in the City Council
on Thursday evening was more glaringly
deceptive than we thought that gentleman
capable of. He said the rate of the city
tax had been reduced three cents on the
800. ANY one who will compare their
tax bills of 1876 and 1877 will see at a
glance that the city tax is Is cents on the
800 in both years and that all the de-
duction that is made is in the school as
sessment. The Republican Council had
refused to pay the School Board the
money they were entitled to and the
Board, as all intelligent citizens know,
threatened to carry the matter to the
courts. When the Democrats got into
power they found this debt trouble, and
they had to assess the school tax at 2S
cents on the 500. With this addition
the Democrats paid the debt created to
the School Board, and there was no longer
any necessity for more than 25 cents
school tax. The School Board, also got
their floating debt paid by the sale of
bonds which put them in a sound condi-
ton. 1t was bold piece of political
trickery and audaclty in Mr.. Pickels to
get up and make the brag he did. Had
he said the saving was caused through
the payment of Republican debt by the
Democrats he would have shown some
candor; but we are now disposed to mis-
trust the whole statement which Mr.. P.
made, and doubt is correctness entirely.
If one part of it is so glaringly deceptive,
we do not see how the remainder of it
can be clear of doubt.

A 100000 FIRE IN MISSOURI

PARIS, Mo-, August 31.-A fire broke
out about o'clock this afternoon in the
City Saloon, and spread rapidly on the
east, west, and south sides of the square
until about ten blocks of business houses
and dwellings were consumed, includ-
ing three hotels, the Post Office, tele-
graph and express Offices. The loss Is
estimated at from 81 100000 to 81 $780,
900.
Many families are without shelter, and
several lives are reported to have been
lost. 1t is said that man named Taylor
set fire to the City Saloon by pouring oil
on the hoor, and igniting it with the res
mark that he would "burn the id
town." He was arrested and lodged in
Jail. There was but one fire engine in
town, and the waser gave out, leaving
the city to the mere of the flames.

IMPORTANT TO CHURCHES THAT
SELL BEER.

WAsHINGToN, August 31.-The Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue has written to
the Collector at Pittsburg upon the subject
of the liability of the German United Evan
gelical Protestant Church OF Allegheny
City to special tax, which was required
OF the president OF the church for the sale OF
beer at church festival. The Commis-
sioner writes: d" II the church society sold
the beer it incurred special tax, but If 1t was
sold for the society by the proprietor of the
hall where the festival was held, who (it is
stately has paid special tax for the hall'
then no special tax should be required on
that account to be paid by the society"

Gov. C0nnor's Letter.
II Augusta.

Governor Connor's letter accepting the re-
nomination rendered him by the Republicans
of Maine, which we print elsewhere, will
commend itself to the Republicans of this
State by its hearty and unreserved endorse
ment of the declaration of principles adopted
by them in convention assembled. I'm
like his opponent he finds nothing to excuse
or explain away in the platform upon which
he takes his stand. The letter is new
claim upon the support Of the men whom he
has twice led to victory.
Governor Connor sees and clearly states
the great question at issue between the two
political parties in Maine. That question is
the validity of the title of President Hayes to
the high Office which he. holds. The Democracy
in their platform have stigmatized him as
usurper, have in effect declared that the man
who now discharges the duties of the Presi-
dency does so without authority of law, and
have led the people to assume as logical
sequence of this declaration that no act of his
is legal or entitled to respect. They have in
words declared themselves to be revolution
lists, and want only courage and strength to
be so in deeds. Their candidate for Governor
has made disingenuous attempt to put an
other construction upon the platform, but his
forced Interpretation has been rejected with
derision and the bolder spirits of the party
throw aside his acceptance letter altogether
and make their fight upon the revolutionary
platform.
The issue made by the Democrats is
squarely met by Gov. Connor and the Repub-
licans, who unreservedly affirm the validity
of the Presidents title. Upon this issue bat
tie is Joined, and it must be understood that
vote for Connor means that Hayes is legal
ly and rightfully President; vote for vii :
liams, that he is President in neither law nor
;ucfino

MAJOR POWELL, who recently made a
statement that there is comparatively small
area of arabic land now owned by the United
States, which has been frequently contro-
verted, is endeavoring to back up his asser-
tions. A Washington dispatch says:
He is preparing for Congress, at the direc-
tion of the committee on public lands. an accu-
rate statement of this question, in which he
will maintain his assertion. The result of his
surveys will attract general attention. He
divides the United States into three regions
with respect to agriculture-the humid or
arabic, the sub-arid and the arid. In the ara
Bile portion, which includes the country east of
line drawn from the eastern point of LAX
Superior to the Gulf, the United States owns
no lands not taken up. The belt OF country
$50 miles in width, from Canada to the Gulf
adjoining that belt on the west, is the sub arid
division. In this the United States owns
considerable quantity of land which may be
cultivated by irrigation. West of that, in the
immense arid belt extending from the Rocky
Mountains iHto eastern California, only two
per cent of the land can be cultivated, and of
this per cent one per cent. has already been
taken up. Major Powell is preparing land
atlas of the entire country, in which arabic and
timber lands are shown.

GEN. JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON has been inter-

South if the North had won the battle, for
in that event the war would probably have
ended there. But Gen. Johnston says that
Gen. Robert E. Lee was always of the opin-
ion that our differences would never have
been settled but by the fearful ordeal through
which we have passed.

"the predictions that the party would 60 to

holders were eliminated from the local man

at the primaries of the night before "the old

the "officals meddled good deal in the

THE story that the President had conclud-
ed 20 change the Indian policy for the main
features of the Canadian, was absurd, be-
cause he could not repeal acts of Congress,
but it is now said that he will recommend
some changes in his message and the adop.
tion of some portion of the Canadian policy,
which is quite another thing. The strong
point of British diplomacy with the Indian
has been the readiness to treat him as an
ally, and, in addition to supplying him with
bounties in various shapes, to fatter his
vanity; and what is more potent than all,
the preservation of unbroken faith with him
under all circumstances.
