see, urging the election of Samuel
J. Tilden to the Presidency of the
United States, and now 1 find my
self to my own surprise, and have
no doubt, to yours also, a coufiden-
tial officer and member Of the Ca
binet of Rutherford B. Hayes. But.
AS previous to that election, / find
myself a Democrat still, and you
can readily understand therefore
that l occupy a very embarrassing
and anomalous position in political
point OF view. When the PROPOSE
ton was made to me-when I was
requested TO become a member of
Mr.. Hayes Cabinet, my inclination
was to decline it, and / have no
doubt a great many of the people
of the South thought 1 would do so.
A very little reflection, however,
brought me to very different con-
clusion. / thought when the Presi-
dent of the United States extended
his hand to the people of the South
through me, it was my duty to re-
ceive that hand, lest millions of the
South might be the sufferers, whsre-
as if l made a mistake there would
be no sufferer but myself; and as
announced at the time, as is we'll
known throughout the whole coun-
try, L accepted the position in the
Cabinet of the President Of the
United States, with the simple in
tentions of assisting the people of
South if l could, to regain some.
thing of the ground that they have
lost during the last few years. The
President required no promise or
pledge Of me. I went into the
cabinet without any instructions and
as Independent as any member of it,
and was received into his secret
councils. This was a most extraor-
binary confidence on the part Of the
administration, and one which / will
never betray. This position is of
course embarrassing, yet it is my
duty TO assist in supporting and
building up the administration if |

the best citizens of Knox, Jefferson,

the attention of our readers to it, not
only for its cheapness but for its superb
ority for washing purposes over any
other I've soap. Mr.. Miller viii remain

Which to settle 4 very dungeons and
perplexfng question. Il was com
promise and the Democrats got
worsted. The question is practically
and finally settled so far as Mr..
Hayes is concerned. He holds the
office and will serve out his Presi-
dental term If he lives. Even Mr..
Tilden is opposed to re-opening the
question, on the ground that it would
be impolitic and detrimental to the
best interests of the country to do
so. All that the Democracy can
now prudently do is to wait, and APP
peal to the people in 1880 to redress
their wrongs. and the appeal will not
be made in vain. As yet there is
no wavering in the Democratic
columns, and we do not believe
there will be any.
But in the mean time, is it not
best for the Democracy to extract
all the good from Republican Ad-
ministration that it can? The peo-
pie demand a cessation of bitter
political discussions, and sectional
politics are just now at a discount.
The Appeal is running without q
policy. 1t raves at what it can not
help, like dog baying at the moon.
1t has nothing but bitterness in it's
heart, and can OF endure the peace
full political calm that has apparently
set in. We advise it to put its hands
to the pillow, and not look back.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Having partially recovered from your
man eating criticism of my letter, ! win
venture to speak again. Facts that ex.
list are facts. however much you and
may ignore their existence We may
not be in any way responsible for their
existence, yet this does not alter the fact
that they do exist. You seem to think
that am mistaken In saying that the
crimes 1 complained of were on the in
crease. Suppose 1 was. You will allow
that they are sufficiently numerous, and
that it would be to the interest of good
society for them to become less numer-
GUS than they are. Then tell me, If In the
plenitude of thy wisdom thou knowest,
what prospect thou see of these crimes
becoming less frequent in the country?
If it is not to be brought about by those
"dry moral hOmilies" of the press, of
which you seem to stand in awe, then
point out the way. Dry hOmilies are
better tliAn none at ALL A little good
friendly criticism is good for both the
head and heart sometimes do not care
anything about your castigation but ra-
ther enjoy it, for by it you drew atten-
ton to the very thing tried to. You
indirectly charge me with inconsistency
by quoting ''pIuck the BEAM" &c. re-
ply to this by citing you to an editorial
in the same issue with my letter, headed
"the standing army" which should have
been headed gratuitous advice to the
President; and then to articles since then
in regard to Mexico and the Mormons. I
will simply add: T" Oh consistency thou
art Jewel much to be admired but sell
dom found. Yours as ever, 1888

We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement In another column of
Tate EPSON Spring. The curative quail
ity of the water of this celebrated spring
is certified to by hundreds of the most
distinguished and reputable men of the
country. In cases of general debility,
nervous prostration, depression, lassi-
tude, inability to sleep, diseases of the
liver, bowels, stomach, and skin, the
manifold manifestations of hysterical
and hypochondrical affections. the water
of this Spring has been recommended
by the most learned and successful ply
sicians. The season for 1877 has opened
auspiciously, and promises to largely ae-
cede that of any past season in the n UNI
Der of visitors. About forty guests we
learn have already registered. Capt.
Tomlinson, the lessee and largely inter
ested proprietarily in the property, has
made great additions and improvements
to the property, and will use every effort
to promote the comfort and health of the
guests. Besides the attractions offered to
inyalids, not the sunny cline of Italy,
the vine clad hills of Ia belle France, ro-
mantle Spain or the land of Flowers of
our own Sunny South can offer more at
