is to resume" The foresight of the
philosopher will have been autben-
ticated by the progress and fact Of
resumption, now just upon US. No
subject, perhaps, unless it be the abb
oIition of slavery, has caused so
much boshy talk and perplexity-so
much fear and apprehension of a
storm of wrath about our ears, and
yet no one has had so little occasion
for it. Both these subjects put men
to their very wits ends, to ward off
and escape the numerous and dire
caIamities that were to follow in
their wake, but when the resump-
ton steps were decided upon, all
these calamities vanished from sight.
Another great evil was that the
world was going to the old boy, un-
less all the national banks were
throttled and the country inundated
with greenbacks This crazy idea,
in the minds of some of its friends,
was of paramount Importance with
the two other questions alluded to,
and one of the most devout and de
voted supporters of the craze in this
place argued with all his vehemence
that John Sherman deserved nothing
so much. as a halter, and that he
should be given a chance to dance
on nothing in expiatiou of the fnan-
cial depravity of his soul. Ashta
bula was dignifed with a little ring
of financial seers who could see
through the financial milestone, and
foreten to a lot or title, how Ger
tainly and rapidly the world was
careening and just on the very verge
of topping over. But what
change was wrought by the fall cleo
tions! These roistering fellows are
as quiet now as so many sucking
doves, and we are to be left to the
full fruitiOn of our enjoyment with
them and resumption. Great world,

Ex-President Grant has been in
vited to take the Richmond-fag-
ship of Rear-Admirable Patterson,
commanding the Asiatic station
for Hong Kong, via the Suez Canal
The invitation has been thankfully
acknowledged, with the expression
of a probability of an acceptance.
The vessel has been newly fitted out,
and if Joined by the Ex-President,
it will be at Vile Franche.
The Philadelphia banks have de-
clined to adopt the resolution of
the New York Clearing House
Association, to receive silver dol
lars only as special deposits, to be

They appeal to Congress for legis-
lation to establish an equality of

The electoral bill of Senator Ed
munds seems likely to meet with
more opposition in the House than it
had in the Senate. The House COM
mittee on the subject has informally
considered it, and singularly enough,
the Democrats, Notwithstanding the
traditional adherence Of the Demo
cratic party to the States Rights
doctrine, seem disposed to object to
the provision that each State may
provide by law for the trial and de-
termination of any controversy con-
cerning the election of its Presiden'
tial electors. The probability is that
the House will amend the bill.
Gov. Wade HamptOn's situation
is said to be somewhat precarious.
The fact that he is suffering and
sinking is one that bis friends-es-
pecially his political friends-do not
like to admit. The difficulty seems
to be that the bone of his fractured
leg did not unite and amputation
was deferred until the effect upon
his system became apparent. His
age-sixty y-fve-is unfavorable, and
the shock it is feared may be difficult
to bear. He has not been able TO
rally since the amputation, from the
effects of the operation and the an
aesthetics taken to prepare him for it.
The doleful forebodings which
were made when slavery was abol.
ished, and for some years after, that
the negroes would not work in
State of freedom, and would become
more and more idle and worthless,
have not been JUSTIFIED by the facts
of experience. The cotton corp of
this year is striking refutation of
the charge. The number of bales
produced has been 5,I97, GOO, larg-
er corp than was ever produced in.
slavery times. This is fair show
ing for colored labor in the South.
Some few white men labor in the
cotton fields, but the proportion of
them is small.

Mr.. Blaine's resolution Instruct
ing the Judiciary COMMITTEES of the
Senate to inquire into the subject of
restrictions upon the right of suf-
frage at the recent election by in
timidation or otherwise, is broad
enough to cover all cases, either in
the North or the South, so that if
fair play and honest elections are
desired, let intimidation or other
influences to prevent a free and un-
restricted exercise Of the right of
suffrage be shown up and condemn
ed wherever they may have occurr-
ed. On this subject President Hayes
says he places confidence in Con,
gress to make adequate appropria-
tions to enable the Executive De
partment to enforce the laws for
protecting citizens in their right to
vote; bnt With a majority in the
House not very anxious to have
those laws enforced. in the South,
at least, his confidence may prove
to be misplaced.

A SUGGESTION.

A large number Of our physicians have gen.
erously volunteered their services to the
Howard Association to attend the sick
These gentlemen are kept busy all day
and it is necessary for them to visit all
portions Of the city. To many Of them
the item Of car fare is very consider
able, and 1t is a great tax upon them. Hence,
knowing the liberal character of the street
car directors, we venture to suggest that a
righteous cause would be greatly aided were
the several companies to furnish the Howard
Association tickets Or passes, to be issued by
Nthe Association, according to it's discretion.
This would be, We are sure, q great help and
convenience to the Association and to the
charitable gentlemen who are laboring in it's
behalf free of charge.
Another matter may be mentioned here.
We are informed that number Of persons
have hesitated to contribute to the funds of
the Howard Association on the ground that
the money would be sent away to other towns
afflicted with the fever. We are authorized
to state that this is an error. Not dollar is
to be sent away. There Is so much poverty
and suffering In our own midst that to af-
ford adequate relief it will require all the
money we can raise. The Association Is n
need Of funds, and no one should hesitate to
contribute what be can afford.

Tho disgusting development Of American
snobbery, to which our Washington CORE

DEMOCRAT, finds it's most offensive illustra-
don In the latter day custom Of telegraphing

Ibis Cabinet, as If anybody cared where they
go or what they do. Mr.. Burchard Hayes
can't take walk, on Mrs. Hayes can't
wipe Master Webb's nose, but the whole
country must be told of it. A few days ago
our press dispatches informed us that MI.
Webb G. Hayes had gone fishing, or some
where else, attended by Mr.. Devens." This
is @ pretty pass in republican America, that
the first law officer of the government or at
least the man who stands as such, should be
represented as the attendant" OF sprout OF

who occupies the White House.

THE GRAND JURY REPORT.

We had overlooked an article On the report
of the Grand Jury relative to the State Printer
which appeared few days since in the New
Orleans Times, and which calls for some no.
tiee. That journal insinuates that the DEMO-
GRAF had charged that the jury acted mali
ciously, and it then proceeds to defend that
body against any such charge.
Iteoncedes that the State Printer has been
subjected to a hardship by the peculiar char
acter of the report of the Grand Jury, which
virtually charges him with having over
charged the State, yet leaves him no opport,l-
nifty to disprove the charge in the courts; at
the same time, with considerable cunning,
the Times says the Grand Jury was as capa-
BILE of determining ''the law OF any case
brought before them as well as any jury that
ever sat-
We have never charged the Grand Jury
with bad faith, malice or with any other i'm
proper motive, and it was simple imperti-
hence in the Times to assume their defense
On that ground. What we said about the &C.
ton of the Grand Jury was in substance
that that body had committed grave error
and done. unwittingiy, the State Printer and
this paper great wrong in making public
report damaging in It's nature and which
offered the accused no speedy opportunity. of
a vindication. That we were right is evil
denced by a fact which has just come to our
knowledge. The Grand Jury regarded the re-
port In the nature of a private information to
the Governor and Attorney General, the OBJ
iect being to direct the attention Of these
functionaries to the charge that the law officer
of tho Stata ipht 20 ND toll oh
steps as he might deem proper. The report
was never intended to be made public. How
It became a matter of public notoriety that |
such a report had been made, we know not |
Certainly It did not come from the Governor !

In the port OF Havana. You remember that on

bought Pads to the number OF all those on board
of the brig Sportsman for Havana, with cargo
of Ice to deliver. Two days after our arrival
here made present TO every man and officer
on board, the only condition being that they
would wear them, which they promised to do,
and did do. except when they were working on
cargo and sweating so much as to spoil them.
AS soon as relieved they washed and resumed
their Pads. We have to say that. with the other
means to keep the fever out of the ship, we met
with perfect success and while the other ves-
sells eaffered much in hospital contracts, and
the loss of men and officers, we had no occasion
for a single dose of medicine. though remain
ing In Havana thirty-eight days. and arriving
at New York on the fifteenth of August, all in
good health. We believe that no human being.
under any circumstances. will take fever Of
any description with one of your Pads on.

81 the Attor icy General. We heard Of the
report 1of g 40 FIRST time on the streets and
from repr' tses1tatives of other city Journals.
1t was u ZEN that the State Printer called on
the 90 teFTlor to see the report and obtain 8
copy OF 1T. The Grand Jury felt that 1t would
be p great injustice to make public one
81 dsd report of SO damaging character, and
Il YVES never their intention to perpetrate SO
gross wrong. How the matter got abroad
we are unable to say. We only know that IL
did become public and that the enemies Of the
DEMOCRAT were busy In circulating 1t before
rye heard Of it.
AS to the law OF the case, we are entirely
satisfied. There Is not the shadow Of g doubt
that the law Of 1856 remains unrepealed, and
that the work ordered by the Secretary o.
State and executed by the State Printer was
legal work, required to be done by the law
| To the question raised by an anonymous and
slanderous scribbler, to wit, why the State
| Printer did not print the "Public Documents
| in 1872 the answer is clear and simple. II
| that year there were two rival governments
| In the State, and the defeated officials, whose
| duty it was to make the reports for 1876 were
adherents Of the Packard government, Of
| which the Republican, was the official journal
We think it likely that no reports were made
| for 1876; but il they were they were not print
ed because the Republican would not run the
| risk Of performing the expensive work ant
getting no pay for it.
| We have not desired to trouble our readers
with this discussion When we heard Of the re-
port we promptly obtained copy of 1t, com
| mented briefly and dispassionately on 1t, anC
submitted the case to the people until the
| State Printer could obtain @ hearing and 6
! vindication. Malicious persons, however, have
seized upon the Grand Jury report, and in The
| most cowardly and indecent manner sought
| to damage our personal characters, and ever
the credit and business standing OF the DEMO
GRAFT.
We do not propose to tamely submit to any
such proceedings, and, entirely satisfied with
the correctness of our position, we shall de-
nounce every effort our enemies may make tc
blacken our character and iniure the influence
