Illed upon to prcipitste n laudatory reso-

called upon to pecipitate q laudatory reso-
luton upon the State convention, in his
judgment 1t should not "bring about con-
test" Any such proposition can be easily
disposed Of by reference TO the committee
on resolutions, which will have sole jur's-
diction of all such questions. No contest
on any subject should be permitted TO d.s-
turb the harmony of the deliberations of
the convention when It shall meet on the
18th instant One sentiment uttered by
MIR. EvARTs should be indelibly impressed
upon every Republican mind in the coun-
try Praise or iault-finding in regard
ito the past is small matter COM
pared with unity in good faith on princi-
pie for the serious work of the campaign"
This is wise advice, and we hope to see the
Republican party throughout the country
acting implictly under its teachings. We
should waste no ammunition in skirmishes
within our own lines, but reserve every
shot and every blow for the common enemy
when the battle shall be opened. Let every
Republican bury past greis out of sight, for

barrass the contest, and labor for the sue
cess of Republican principles, thus securing
the future welfare of the nation, which now
rises in the contest above every other con-
sideration. If the coming battle goes asains,
that party upon which the nation rests III
every hope for future preservation and per
mancnce, then all is lost, for, ensanguincd
by success, the Democratic party will rui

THERE is chance for the election Of n
Republican to Congress from the third Rich
mondJ Virginia district. General JOE JoHS-
sroN, the regular Democratic nominee, Is
to I've opposed by Greenback candidate,
and, as we have repeatedly explained, is
unpopular because of his opposition to a
reduction of the army. There is some
good Republican timber in the district
some that has been seasoned by long exre-
rience in public affairs There is JOHN Il,
PorHAM for instance. Why not bring him
out, or some other man of his prominence
But PoPHAM has the advantage OF being
one of the best campaign speakers in the

nTTLEE,s HETRkYAL.

30 IL is NOT al SNll-Hlut NilsAN 'h'hF
the path Of IiEN BUTLEE's ambition. There
seems TO be- some clouds that seriously OBJ
scure the rising sun Of this prince of dema-
gOgucs II now turns ont that the larger
number Of the signatures appended to the
pathetic petition to him TO accept the Guber-
Material candidacy of Massachusetts, on the
Workingmen's ticket are iorgerics hut there
are other evidences pouring in upon Mr.,
E.'TLER to convince him that lis chances Of
success are not rs imposing rs they at first
seemed. His chief hope of victory depended
upon the Democrats being bcguled by those
long lists of names into giving him their
nomination; but the names being iorgeries,
the Democrats have concluded TO make a
straight-out nomination, and that hope fades
like beautiful dream.
".Sic transit gloria mundi" BUTLERs glory
began TO fade when he sold himself to the
Democrats and aided in putting a Democrat
into seat in Congress in the place OF
FIELD, who was legally elected. From that
day he has not been counted rs Republic
can, but as traitor to the party-a modern
JUDAS IsCARIoT, who sold himself cheaply
TO the enemies of Republicanism, and has
since been hanging upon their promises that
if he would get the nomination Tor Governor
from some source they would support him
lie then rcsortcd to the Cheap-John dodge
of issuing circulars-procured by his owl
money, or some In his possession-whicl
were scattered broadcast throughout The
State and signed promiscuously by
all sorts of people and will
every variety of name except their own
I until nearly $1,000 names were appended
q great proportion Of which were forgeries
and did not represent anybody. But few
legal voters signed these petitions; but wher
| filed up they were returned to the Widow
of Essex, who lost no time in putting III
acceptance into cheerful phrase and present
ing it to an admiring public. In all thi;
however, the affections Of the Widow But
LER have been trled with. The Democrat
having deceived her, now stand ready t.
expose her shame TO the world by betraya
as heartless as 1t is netarious. They viii
not wed her after full under
standing of her political character, an'
now they turn ruthlessly away, with til
proposition to desert her and support can
didate of their own party choice. Thi
cooks the Widows goose, so to speak, ant
she will never march triumphantly throug
the portals of the State-hOuse, which hav
so long been surmounted by huge codlisl
/ To he inauuurated as Governor of the Con
mOnwealth of Massachusetts. Even forge
petitions or the ferveut appeals of KEAI
SEY will not avail BUTLER, now that til
Democrats, who have used him, turn ava
from his cause in shrinking disgust, lea'
ing him to paddle his own canoe, with tn
aid of KEARSEY and the rilf-raf that wo

TALK-A-HEAr or Frank-a-lieap which
ever you will il correct BLACKBURN is out
rs a candidate for the Speakership of the
next House This may account to some
extent for his violations of the postal laws
in sending private political campaign thun-
der to the country under franks restricted
by Law to he used only in the distribution
of public documents. But his efforts will
come to naught. In the first place, Re-
publican will be elected to that Office, and
there Is no use considering the second oil

GENERAL Ben BUTLER has many afore-
time friends within the Republican party
who do not like to see him abused rs round
ly as he deserves to he, even now that he
has deserted from its ranks. They should
remember that it was his aggressive vigor
that commanded their admiration and
friendship before his desertion, aud that
that same force is now being used by him for
evil; hence the necessity Of greater earnest
ness in opposing him. But he is fast losing
his mental grip. The Gubernatorial mag
got has penetrated his entire being, to the
destruction of his political consistency, and
the Presidential maggot, which will follow,
will 10 its fatal worl; before IsSO.

THE OUTLOOK n pENSsyLvANI,.

The Hon. JACOB VI. CAMPBELL, OF the
seventeenth Pennsylvania district, and q
member Of the Congressional Executive
Committee, who has been spending several
days in the city, informs us that the CAM
paign in that state has not been fully
opened with vigor mall the counties II Is
gratifying, however, to learn from him that
the indications are strongly in favor of an
old-ihshioned Republican victory this fall.
We place great confidence In the intelligence
and correctness Of Mr.. CAMPBELLs state
ments, and therefore feel gratiiied to
have so favorable nn account from
the keystone State. The Republicans
can, if they WILL carry the State, and they
evince determination that promises VIC
tory.
In referring TO the business outlook In
Pennsylvania Mr. CAMPBELL states that the
prospects are exceedingly fattering As an
indication he refers to the fact that the
rollng-mill in Johnstown, Cambria County
has had more orders for the past two
months than could possibly be filled by 1t;
facilities Nearly all the rails now manu-
factured at these works arc of steel, all o.
this class having been until within few
years imported from Europe. The expira
tion of the bankrupt law has, he firmly be
Iicves, had salutary effect upon the pros
poets Of business. The improvement unde
this change he thinks will soon be observa
bic throughout the country.

THE Chicago Times, an Opposition jour
nal of the kind that finds very little good
in anything and considerable that is bad in
everything, unwittingly gives President
HAYES credit for an unexpected display OF
firmncss during his recent visit to that
wicked city. 1t says the iiremen's process
sion was about an hour long and occupied
three miles in passing Mr.. HAYES, or any
other given point. This discovery Of a
point in our 9o-called pointless Admins
trIton is worthy of especial note. 1t is to
be regretted that the Times did not give us
similar estimate of the length of the Adj
miuistrtion procession. We would then
know exactly how long it took WILLIAM
Henry SMITH to pass the point that
had given him his Office.

Mr.. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS Is now
engaged in paving the way to union and
harmony in the Republican party by rakng
from the past the speech of Hon. T. c.
PLAT, delivered one year ago at the open
ing of the Republican State Convention,
and declaring it to he full of gross insults
to the President and Cabinet" Iu truth
that declaration is not justified by careful
repcrusal Of that speech but even If it was,
is that the way that Mr.. CURTIS proposes to
harmonic and unity the party this year !;
If so, the job should be taken out OF his
hands.

the clay he digs out Of the ground is fl to be
in the United States Cabinet.
This paragraph is travelling the rounds Of
the press under the Characterization of A
"Gem from KEARNEY"-a gem of the Say,
we add. KEARNEY undoubtedly stole the
idea from some of Ben BuTLERs mud
singing diatribes at the lily-white handed
capitalists of the country. When we get to
building iron ships out Of clay it will be
possible to imagine KEARSET and BUTLER
behaving like gentlemen and decent citi-
Yens.

ONE great advantage derived by this
country from the fact that in our traffic
with other countries the balance of trade is
in our favor resides In the further fact that
in the natural course of the adjustment of
that traffic thousands and hundreds of
thousands of our Government bonds have
been sent back to US from Europe, and the
accruing interest is consequently paid into
the pockets of our own people. These
bonds were many Of them sent abroad when
the balance of trade was against us. Now
that it is in our favor, they are being used
in purchasing our native products. The re-
suit Is that as nation we are rapidly be-
coming independent of our neighbos of the
Old World. 1t will not he long probably
in this generation, before the balance will
be more decidedly in our favor and Europe
will become indebted to us-which is not a
bad prospect for tax-ridden people, y
burdened by grasping thieving, and
blundering Republican administration, and
all that sort of thing.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. II, 1875.
The Hon. :. J. TiiteH, Is Grdmsreg Park
AGter full survey Of the situation here, we
urgently recommend that you make at once to
Governor HAYES the proposition hereunto COM
municatcd TO you.
SAMUEL J. RANDALL.

Henry WArTERsoS
OswALD OrTESDoRfEG.
About this same date November Ia Col
onel PELToN, TILDESs nephew, tclegraphed
to his fellow-corruptionists in Oregon not to
place any reliance in the favorable dis
patches from the three Southern States"
meaning Louisiana, Florida, and South
| Carolina. In other words the TILDES man
ayers had given up all hope of his election,
even before the count had been completed
in the South. This assumption is
confirmed by the knowledge that
the proposition which the statesmen ur-
gently recommended TILDEN to make to
HAYES was nothing less than that both
candidates should withdraw or decline to
accept the Office and join in requesting
Congress to provide for a new election.
Certainly no clearer proof can be required
of the falsity of the Democratic assertion
that TILDEN was elected, Would they
have been willing TO give up the contest at
that early day if they had not then known
they were beaten? Their subsequent pro-
ceedings appear all the more sedtious in
the light of this exposure, for it is now GER
tain that when SAM RANDALL began ia
bull-dohe the House in favor of the fli'
busters, pending the electoral count, h'
was using his power as Speaker to secure
the inauguration of man whom he knew,
and had admitted, had not been elected.

it is regarded uS u familiar illustration OF
that civil service reform which denies al
officer the freedom Of opinion on the penalty
Of amcrcement. Mr.. FILLEY has been re-

petcut postmaster, but he has considered
himself nee to serve the Republican inter
est in his state, ~ long as that service did
