PurftanfcaI Heather.
New York SUM-

The six states lying east of the Hudson
send q good many thousands of dollars
abroad every year to be expended in con-
verting the heather. Quicker and larger
returns might perhaps be obtained by in
vesting a per centage of this missionary
money in the civilization and Christlaniza-
ton of the heather within their own Dor
ders.
There are more of these than even well
informed New Englanders, who have not
made special study of the subject, could
be made to believe in advance of personal
investigation. Within sound of church and
college bells there are nests of ignorance
and vice as essentially barbaric in their
way as any the missionaries have yet found
in Africa.
Anumber of years ago the attention of the
Congregational pastors of Connecticut was
called in some way to the condition of the
remoter outlying districts of the hill towns.
A committee was appointed to explore and
report. The discoveries made were so much
worse than anything which had been sus-
pected that the reverend pastors were at first
appalled,; then they girded themselves Tor
home missionary work with new sense of
its importance. Much has been done in
that state, but much still remains to be done.
Nor has Massachusetts, the commonwealth
of church spires and schools, any cause TO
boast over her smaller and less pretentious
ne1ghDor. WITHIN rev miles OF historical
towns whose people wrap themselves in
their culture as in a garment, there are
neighborhoods which are quite given over to
ignorance and vice, which exhsle moral
reek from generation to generation. The
students of at least one Massachusetts, college
can reach districts in a mornings walk
where the actual present condition of man
ners and morals makes credible the worst
stories in Mather's ''Magnalia."
The arrest and conviction of the Shutes-
bury free-lovers let in a ray of light on the
heathenism that hides and testers in the
heart of Yankee civilization. Yet Shutes-
bury differs from a hundred other towns
only in having been dragged into public no
tice. Apropos. the Springfield Republican
remarks:
The whole business Is a sad commentary on
certain phases of the rural New England life
of to-day. Many of our communities are los
tering on their outskirts neighborh0ods whose
interior life would put them to the blush II the
curtains of remOteness and Obscurlty which
hide it from the world were torn apart.
Our eastern neighbors have had a good
deal to say about the ignorance and moral
restitution of the xslaveholding states,
and have sometimes said it in rather Phar-
isaical way. 1t would seem to be case for
sober meditation ON an old text about NOTES
and beams.

Senator ConklIng has expressed the oPin-
ion that Hayes was an accessory before the
fact to the electoral frauds. When it is
remembered that such men as Sherman,
Matthews, Garfield and Noyes, who were
Governor HAYES next friends. acted in the
role of visiting statesmen Mr.. Conkling's.
conclusion that Hayes was cogniZant OF the
frauds becomes unavoidable He was not a
novice in politics. He had, in fact, been an
active politician for many year, and while
not apparently possessing trace of genius,
he is certainly a MAJ OF more than
average intelligence. On the Sth OF NoveHa-
Der, 1876, he heard that he was defeated, and
If any person watched the subsequent pro-
ceedings closely he must have been the man.
He can not have been more in doubt relative
to the character of the Louisiana transao-
tons than his associate on the republican
ticket, Wheeler The management of the
Florida frauds was in the hands of his
friend, Ex-Governor Noyes, since rewarded
by an appointment as minister to France.
There can be no doubt that Mr.. Hayes, at
any time preceding the electoral count,
might with word have prevented or de-
feated the frauds of which he was to be- the
beneficiary.

A Lovely Fight.

The usually quiet and lovely village OF
Seneca Falls New York, is now the scene
of a somewhat novel battle. The combataats
are young men and maidens, or rather
maidens and youths, the girls having begun
the fight. They formed a society in which,
every member solemnly promised to have
nothing to do with any young man at all
addicted to the use of any Intoxicating drink.
Thereupon the boys got together, pledged
themselves not to speak 10 any miss who
wore false hair, or who powdered, padded
or otherwise assisted nature in enhancing
her personal charms Their Roland for an
Oliver was accepted as a declaration of war
to the knife and the knife to the nilt. 1t is
very sad to think how utterly unsocial the
young folks of that burg must be.

thus daunted. So she went with her
dear Alpheus TO a Catholic priest, and
the twain were made one. Then they went
10 Baltimore, saw the sights and remained
all night. Sunday the sheepish pair re-
turned home, the young wife taking her
liege lord to the senatorial domicile. Then
she acquainted her pa with the facts of the
adventure, whereupon he issued his ukase.

Other accounts say the marriage was accept

PUBLIC MORALS.

In a republican government there are two
classes of teachers of public morals. In the
one class we place the pulpit orators and
workers in the cause of Christianity. To
them is specially consigned the duty of
educating the rising generation in the
truths of the Christian faith. OF directing
their footsteps in the narrow path of per-
sonal integrity. of pure morals and patriotic
feelings. They hold in peculiar sense the
confidence of parents, the love of the young
and the respect of the aged They are well
coined visitors around the family hearth
stone.
They are the custodians Of family secrets,
and in sorrow and distress they are the
counseloTs and the comforters, and the di-
rectors TO a better condition. These high
and holy conditions OF life lead the people
to regard them with that respect and almost
reverence that expresses the sincerity
of the purest feelings of humanity
Regarded in this light what must be the
revulsiOn of feeling when these min
listers confess that the characters they
have sustained have been but cloaks to
cover their utter depravity of action and
their moral perversion of feeling. Among
the most distinguished members of this
class Of public teachers was Henry Ward
Beecher. Wealth, distinction and public
confidence made ambition o'erleap itself"
and forgetting his Maker in the contempla-
ton OF his own greatness, he fell, like Luci.
fer, never to rise again. The passions of his
baser nature trlumphed over the princi-
pies of his faith, and in fond dalliance with
a member Of his flock he threw off the cloak
of Christianity that disguised his devilish-
ness, and from the character of a public
teacher he fell 10 the position of a common
sinner. There are others who have followed
IN the footsteps OF this once distinguished
man, and we need not go far from among OR
own people to find instances where the love
OF notoriety is leading them away from the
first principles and the holy teachings OF the
Gospel of Christ. There is another class
of public teachers who exercise an infIu.
ence on the moral feelings of the people
that tends to. the elevation Of public senti-
ment or its perversion to base feelings or
acts. These are the men who are entrusted
by the people with the administration Of
public affairs. They leave their impress
upon public affairs for good or for evil, and
leave to the coming generations reputation
that honors them In emulating or .disgusts
them by its utter want Of principle. In our
day and'generation we have had some illus

liars of the nineteenth century. General
Barlow, of New York, whose repubIicanism
is beyond question, and whose honesty and

investigating all the facts, asserted that the

HAYES AND HIS TITLE.

Recent events are OF a character TO place
Hayes, the fraudulent president, in posi-
ton of extreme delicacy. The facts are
coming to the surface that he was cognizant
of all the frauds practiced in his interest,
and the indications are that he will be com
PEELED to face the music, however discordant
the notes may be. As the case now stands
at least seventy-five per cent. CT the
American people believe that the chief exec
utive of the republic obtained his position
by a series of frauds which, as they come
more fully to light, fill the public mind with
deep humiliation and burning indignation.
Recent Washington advlces indicate pretty
conclusively that the investigation of the
Florida frauds is to go forward,
and it is iDtimated that when
once commenced the investigation
will take much wider range than was at
first anticipated. This is by no means an
unsatisfactory aspect of the case. From first
to last the democratic party has demanded
the testimony, the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, and the fact that
some democrats are charged with aiding
radical conspirators TO place Hayes in power
does not dampen the ardor of honest men to
know the true inwardness of the infamous
business

THE EARLY STATE CONVENTION.

The Sentinel favored an early convention
to nominate state ticket and lay down its
platform of principles. and fixed the day not
later than the 22d of February The state
central committee met in January and called
the convention for the goth of February, the
ODD coming too late in the week for the con-
venience of delegates. What was the result?
The largest and most harmonious
convention ever held in the state;
the nomination of ticket that not one
word Of truthful criticism has or can be
made by the opposition-a ticket composed
of gentlemen of ability, integrity and per-
sonal popularity. every candidate in hearty
sympathy with the platform, and the plat
form in sympathy with the people of the
state. There can be no double construction
placed on a single plank in the platform.
1t requires no editorials or stump speeches
to coDstrue its meaning The humblest
voter in Indiana understands 1t. The rad
ical party will attempt to stand on it and at
the same time keep off it, and fall by 1000
majority in its effort to straddle the soft and
hard money element of its own party. Its

the Christian statesman OF Indiana,
who is consigned to an oblivion during his
life itwere charity not to disturb. Maine fur
nishes statesman whose sobriquet of the
plumed knight is somewhat furnished by
the Mulligan letters. Then comes one whose
loss of limb appeals with an eloquence it is
hard to resist to judge without malice his
part in the Florida frauds. Then comes
another whose absence in Russia is part pro-
lection for the sgony of feeling that would
rack him were he compelled to face
the indignation of people whose verdict he
had reversed, and against whose liberty he
had consplred. Then we must not forget
another, who, under the pretense of uphold
ing the honor of the country among foreign
nations, has impoverished the people by
robbing them of the fruits of their honest
toll to enrich the money lenders OF the
world. His record would not he complete
without the mention of his connection with
frauds in a sovereign state that throttled its
people and seated in the place of Washington
a man whose only claim to the position rests
on these odious frauds. These distinguished
examples that will disgrace the pages of
American history, and be regarded by the
rising generation as examples of odious re-
nown, are all members of the republican
party and ell occupying honorable and in
fuential positions in its councils and direc
ton. 1t is our duty to place them before
the people. The duty of the people leave
to their own Judgment.
