TIE PRESIDENT AND CABI-
NET IN REV. HAMPSHIRE!
A Meeting with their Method
ist brethren.

The President and his exeur
siOnists continue to talk in New
England. Gen. Devens said: "a
few years ago the church of which
you are a part here represented
was torn and rent asunder by the
great conflict of arms between
liberty and slavery. Certainly
now that the great questions in
volved in that contest are settled
there is great reason TO rejoice.
The members of the Church,
North and South, are again uni
ted"
The President then said: "Itis
not best for one bred TO the law
to attempt to quote scripture,
but there is something like this:
There is more JOY over the re-
penting of one than over a hun
dred that have not gone astray.'
We have with a friend, who, for
four years, who was against US
and more recently made the mis-
take of voting against me, but
now on the question ofthe integ-
rity and maintenance Of the I'm,
ion Administration, the question
of freedom and equality to all
men, no man is before Judge
Key"
The Postmaster General spoke
as follows: at would not be ex-
pected that | should appear here
without embarrassment. 1t is
not without feelings of sadness,
that | view this scene. | am car
red back to my boyhood days
when in that far distant South,
my sunny home ! attended meet
ings like this, for Methodists are
found in that part Of the Union,
and my father was an humble
minister in your church. He has
been gone now ten years and
you have heard how i his own
son, have wandered. | will not
attempt to quote Scripture, for |
might fail more significantly than
the. President, but | have heard
an old hymn that reads:
While the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return"
"The fact that General Devens
and | are here together shows
that the principles Of religion
have a hold in the Cabinet, if not
throughout the whole country.
The people Of New Hampshire
need haveno fears of the people
of the South. Both political par
ties there have endorsed the
Constitution and all Of its amend
ments, and the people have been
placed by the President and his
policy on their good behavior,
and | an sure they will keep
faith.
~ thank you sincerely for this
greeting, and | accept it, not as Il
compliment to myself, but as a
mark of the South"

Money and Mortgages.

The New York Tribune thinks
it an outrage to tax the man who
lends his money OH mortgages.
It's the poor devil who borrows
that ought to pay tax as well as
interest. This theory well car
ried out would make us a nation
Of money aristocrats indeed. If
the money-ltnder who lives upon
his interest is TO bear no burden
Of taxation, in heavens name,
who ought to be called upon to

Take Care Of Yourselves.

THE people who suffer from bad
government not unfrequently
make it for themselves. Not
daring to break away from the
dictation Of a ring formed to ma
nipulate local affairs, or if for
midable enough, state affairs, in
their own interest, they help to
inflict upon themselves as well
as others the very evils of which
they complain. A few men am
bilious to promote their individ-
Esal interests with tools TO per-
form their dirty work go about
the country overlooking with ri
ETY. and imbued with patriotism
enough to work for themselves.
In this happy frame of mind
temperance, Sunday schools, and
kindred interests are worded up,
and at the same time arrange
ments are made, for delegations
to attend the nominating con-
ventions of the party. In this
way by securing the active CO.
operation of two or three individ-
uals in each town, these individ

the same time as easily duped

interests at the nominating con

ton of this fraud upon citizen
ship and the principles Of free

How we can get Immigration.

The Knoxville Tribune Of Sun
day, speaking Of how immigra-
ton can be secured by this see
ton says: Our Commissioners OF
Agricultural, etc, is doing good
work, but he can not do all. We
must help ourselves. How are
we to do it? There are several
ways. In the first place, we
must raise the standard Of popu-
lar education. This will have
much to do in bringing about
this result. Such now is the gen
eral appreciation Of the value
and importance of education both
in the Northern States and in Eu-
rope that immigrants will in
stinctively shun those sections of
our country where its importance
is not acknowledged. In the "ol
den time" it made but little diff
ferance. Then education was
hardly asocondary affair. Now
its paramount necessity is real
lied and appreciated by all class
es of our population. Build up
your schools, then; make them
strong and influential; secure the
best educated minds to take
charge of them; resolve TO make
them second to none in the Un.
ion, and our word for it, you will
soon see a wonderful revolution
in matters. Your State, then,
will take high rank and your peo
pie be the peers Of the best o.
the land.
The above is good advice. but
why don't the editor of the Trib.
une practice what he breaches
He wants Northern men, he
says, and also the "best educated
mines" The editor of the Trib-
une. is one of the Trustees Of the
E. I. University and voted to
turn out every "northern man.
in it. Prof. Burton, who is ac-
knowledged to be, one of the best
chemist in the United States, was
discharged on account Of his
northern birth.
Long windy editorials will
amount to nothing so long as
Southern fire eaters CONTROL af.

From fho Now York sun.

AFTER the low and bringing
speeches of Key, de facto Postmas,
ter General, in New England, the
general opinion is that he is a
poor creature, as he was a poor
Colonel in the Confederate army.
With him the salary of the Office
is everything, and he omits no
occasion to be depreciate the peo-
pie among whom he has always
lived, and to whom he owes eve
rything. The Northern mind ad-
mires manhood and true courage,
and it despises the canting profes-
sions of trimmerS like Key, who
represent nothing but their own
trucking venality.

The south Carolina business.

The New York Tribune says
there is a good deal Of lofty ~
ing floating around the country
concerning the confession of eX
Governor Moses, Of South Caro-
lima. AS Moses made his state
ments in secret, and as the pub
lished reports came from persons
who have no means for ascer-
tanning the truth, the Tribune
pronounces the stories grossly
exaggerated, if not wholly false.
Rumors duplicating Ex-Governor
Chamberlain are without founda-
ton in fact.

TURKS AT sCHPKA PASS.
LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Daily
News correspondent, who was an
eve witness to Fridays battle in
.Schipka Pass, ~telegraphs from
.Gorny Student, on Saturday, as
follows: H'Riding backward from.
.Scipka through the night, | pass
ed masses Of reintOrcements Of
artillery and Infantry hurrying
forward to Schipka. Their
strength was such as ought to Sc
cure the safety Of the all import

The same correspondent teie-
graphs from Bucharest on Sun
day information of which follows
me here, that fighting at the Pass
was still raging, having been
again renewed to-day, but that
Radetzky continues to hold his
own. 1t is nova question of en-
durance, but | adhere to my i'm
preston that Schipka Pass, as
now held by Radetzky is safe,
and unless Suleiman Pasha can
run a column through another
Pass he will wreck his army by
thus dashing it continually
against it. The correspondent,
after giving a description Of the
Pass, says: "On the Dist inst,
when fighting commenced, the
Russians were a little over 10000
strong, with forty cannon. The
Russians on this day had laid
mines in front Of their trenches,
which exploded just as the head
of the Turkish column were
massed above them. 1t is repor-
ted that a large number Of Mos
lens were blown into fragments.
By Thursday evening the Turks
had so worked around on both

though the claws were momenta

Are the Indians Dying ont Z.

The statement is made that
there are twenty five thousand
more Indians on the continent
thai there were when the cOnn-
try was first settled. An ,eXpeS
rienced' Indian officer is credited
with this statement, WHICH ridic:-
ulously absurd.
1t seems to be based on, the
fact that the Government Yafi0ns
more Indians now than it did i'll
former years. This is quite true,
and, as an instance, it may be
stated that ten years gQthe Gov
eminent did not issue ratiOns to
the Sioux, who number tYepty-
five or forty thousand. But this
does not pIoye that thes Indians
have actually increased |Qnthe

their slow but steady reductions.
in number.
The ninth census shows that
the civilized Indians decreased
from forty-four thousand and
twenty-one in 1860 to twenty five
thousand seven hundred and thirs
ty-one in 1870. If this large de-
crease took place in a single de-
cade among Ind ans set down
as civilized, the reductions in
numbers must have been much
larger in proportion among the
wild tribes, who for years. have
been dicimating their ranks by
wars monglthenselyes and, with
the whites.

Jury Trials IN Appeals from Trial
Justices.

One of the greatest nuisances of our
judicial system is the trial by jury in the
Circuit Courts, of appeals from Trial jug
tees. During the last term of u Court
portions of several days were employed
in the trial of petty cases of this charac-
ter, where the whole amounts involved
did not exceed S25, and when the inte-
rests of the State would have been sub
served BY paying the sums claimed, and
'dismissing the cases FROM the docket. If
our Trial Justices arc not competent to
try cases of this character, their offices
had better be abolished, and some other
system devised, which shall administer
cheap but exact justice, and not impose
upon the expensive machinery of our
higher Courts, the trial Of COW cases and
the enforcement Of freedmen's contracts.
1t is really farcical to see Judges at q
salary of $500 per annum and lawyers
whose time ought to be worth as much,
with a erowd of witnesses, and two juries
i'll Wasting, all engaged in the settlement
.,of petty cases, which any plain country
man could settle ENTHUSIASTICALLY in
ten minutes. Trial by jury is q very
good thing in it's place, but we submit
that a better use can be put of this boast
ed heritage Of English liberty, than the
trial of COW cases. at the expense Of $3.50
per diem to the State.
Under our old system appeals from
magistrates We're head upon the papers
sent.rp n if there was any error COM
nllttea III tho Court below it wa sent
backt0r correction and a new trial Or
'aered. This is tho true remedy, and
avoids our present expensive appeals,

cases =snd not impose their work upon

The anderson I~ntelligencer last week
zmdde some remarks in opposition to the
custom of Judges of our State Courts,
ss1ld Of the Federal Courts, consulting
with the prosecuting Attorney in fixing
"a sentence for prisoners convicted of
-crime. That paper thinks a judge has no
fright to consult with the prosecuting any
nmore than the defending counsel, for it is
"ene of the intirmities of a lawyer to be-
Shove his side of any case is right, and the
eInan who has been worked up to the be-
lief that a great crime has been commit
stod by the prisoner it is his duty to prose-
.reute, is not the safest or most suitable adj
wiser of a judge, as to the proper punish
ment to be inflicted. The judge should
not allow statements pro or con to be
made to him in any case except in open
court, and after hearing whatever is to be
said on either side, he should impose
such a sentence as seems just to him,
without reference to the Solicitor.
