Now that HAYES has been in the White
House nearly eighteen months, the Hon
ALLEN G.. THURMAN Of Ohio breaks out OF
sudden into ardent patriotic Indignation
He can scarcely find language strong
enough to express his feelings as he looks
back upon what he correctly describes as a
great drama Of fraud huge black spot
upon the national cscutchcon." Lifting up
his voice like a trumpet, he calls upon his
Ohio ncighhurs and his countrymen in
the other States 60 dO-what2 To wipe
off the black spot To make such good use
Of their ballots at the polls this fall as TO
insure the arrival presently in Washington
Of n Congress that will not maintain the the
Dry that Fraud, once accomplished, Is sacrcdY
Oh, no! The Hon. ALLEN G.. THURMAN IS not
that sort Of n public man. But he is clear that
the Fraud should be "rcbukcd whatever
he understands by that-and that the men
who pcrpctrated it should be made, i'm some
way not yet plainly indicated, to feel that
the people disapproye Of them "As you

tones. to manifest your adherence Of the

This is all very well so far as it goes But
how about those men. Democratic senators
and others, who not only stood by and
allowed the crime to he pcrpctratcd, but who
made its preparation easy and successful
And how about the Democratic members
Of the House OF Representatives who In
June. 1873, after they had thought it over
for fifteen months, deliberately resolved
that HAYES title was sacred, and that their
party would not resent or rebukc the Fraud.

which the party and the country were thus

Buying In and Buying On.

Mr. HAYES got into the White House by a
bargain, an arrangement, II trade. The
Investigations Of tho POTTER Committee
have made that plain II it was not plain boz
fore. His Inauguration was not the result
Of the election alone. 1t was In consequence
Of an understanding with certain southern
men which was come 70 long after the cleo
tion was over
HAYES bought himself in. His Admins
tration, which came in by n bargain. is now
trying to buy itself on. With mcanness Of
spirit characteristic of those who steal into
places where they have no right, it offers
In the most abject manner, to pay for the
falntest recognition. Through Mr. Commits
sioner RAUM IL proposes to- 4" let up" ON the
worst offenders against tho United States
Government in South Carolina If in the old
hotbed of notification its own officers can
only be treated lcnicntly!
All this Is consistent and i'm keeping. An
Administration which bought itself in may
be expected to buy itself on.
We do not think in tho days OF ANDREW
JACKSON an officer who had telcgraphcd to
South Carolina n supplicaton for mercy or
lcniency TO United States officers would
have remained in Office very long.
But then Gen. JACKSON did not buy him
self into Office. lie never ceased TO regard
with adherence the man who once inti-
mated to him that lie could become Prcsi-
dent by an understanding and arrange
ment." He did not buy himself in. He did
not buy himself on.
HAYES is a man of different stamp Trade
is in his line. He got in by trade. lie Is
trying to get on by fresh trades.

A iayorito argument Of tho advocates Of

first Issue Of gIccnbacks was followed by
great activity in business, plenty Of en-
Ploymcnt for labor, AMI general prosperity;
whereas partial withdrawal Of these same
greenback7, preparatory to resumption,
has been followed by stagnation IN bust
ness, doarth Of employment for labor, aud
general misery; therefore, let us issue more
grccnhacks and wo shall once more hayo
active business, plenty Of employment, and
general prosperity.
This reasoning is worry much ~ If n man
Should say: Last winter when the thcrmOm-
etcr stood at 400 everybody was cool and

whereas now the Thermometer stands at S0'

DEATH AT A BAPTISM.

Sad Occurrence at Minnesota City Sunday
Last--"My Way Is Perfectly Clear"
From the Winona Republican,
An exciting event occurred at Minnesota
City, on Sunday, during the services Of bap-
tism, which was being performed by Rev. J.
Rowley, in the Rollingstone, about noon.
The minister and the candidates, together
with few attendants, were upon one side of
the stream. while large assemblage of
spectators stood upon the opposite bank.
Among the number was Henry Murine,
whose wife and niece were to be baptized.
Mr.. Munrine himself had been deeply in
terested in the religious meetings, and, dur
ing the exercises, remarked to a friend, sMy
way is perfectly clear. I shall be among the
next lot to be baptized" He was standing
near Mr.. Henry Harrison. of this city, and
the latter suddenly noticed Mr.. Munrine fall
ing toward him. Mr.. Harrison caught him
in his arms and gently laid him down. The
man gave two or three gasps
and expired, his death being
caused by heart disease, with which
he had been troubled for some time. The
commotion was noticed by Rev. Mr.. Rowley
and the candidates, but they supposed that
some one had tainted. Mrs. Munrine, how
ever, stepped down to be baptized, and said
ssMr. Rowley, know that my husband has
dropped dead" Mr.. Rowley sought to quiet
her fears, not dreaming that anything SC
serious had occurred. She was baptized
and, with the other candidates, went to ar
adjoining house, where the dreadful news
was soon told her. It appears that Mr.
Munrine had always believed that he woulc
die suddenly, and he instructed his wife te
be sure and have an artery in his arm lancee
lest he should be buried alive.
! He was about thirty five or forty years OF
age, having three children. He had latterly
taken deep interest in the temperance re
forms and religious revivals, which has beer
marked with unusual interest and the con
version of some twenty-si1 persons. Th,
sudden death caused q good deal of excite
ment in the community.
