While Gen. Eohols' withdrawal will, We
suppose, secure the defeat of MIR. Paul, the
forcib!c readjuster and greerback candidate 10
the seventh Congressional district, aud thus
be beneficial, all those who have the true inter
eats of the State at heart will regret that a
man with such wise and praisaworth principles
felt it his duty to retire from the contest.

The congressional election viii! take place

The congressional election viii! take place
p,xs Tuesday. As Gee. Huaton is the fairly
nominated candidate Of the regular ccnserVa-
tive convention, every conservative IN the dis
triot should, aud those who took part 10 the
primaries arc 10 honor bound to, not Only go
to the polls and voto for him, but use their
utmost exertiops to induce their neighbors to
do likewise. The ntxj congress may have to

las. one did that of 1876, and With such an I'M
portaut contingency in prospect, the minor COD.
s;dcrations of individual preferences and per-
sonal animcsities should be- kept 10 allegiance.
When we shall have secured a conservative
president o conservative congress, and q supreme
court that will not sanction deliberate and
patent fraud, it will b time enough for oon5er-

similar complexion would d. in an analogous
case, it would be better, at least for the South,
if that complexion were changed; but this
objection doesn't hold good, fer the disastrous

Glen. to deter the veriest druoderhead among the
southern members from the usterauos of any

A Kcen-Witted Grand Jury.

Grand Juries are not apt to regard their
province and jurisdiction as surrounded by
any narrow boundaries. The late Hon.
HORACE GREELEY used TO say that nothing
was so out of place in Governors message
as to be surprising, from dissertation on
national politics to the advertisement Of n
horse. But Grand Jures, in their present
ments, often take wider ranges than Gov
errors in their messages.
The Grand Jury in the United States Cir
cult Court, last Tuesday, made an elaborate
prcsentncnt on the subject OF Naturallza-
ton Frauds. In some respects it would be
an extraordinary document II it came from
any other source but a Grand Jury.
These modest Grand Jurors request that
their prcscutmcnt shall not only be spread
at lcngth upon the minutes Of the court,
but that certified copie. thereof be forwarded
to the President Of the United States, tho
Attorncy-GcucraL and -us if, indeed, it were
a veritablc Presidents message to the pre-
siding officers Of the national Senate and
House of Representatives,

were committed in the issue Of naturaliza-
ton papers in this city in 1868. Most likely

Blaine,s Speech Condensed.

Mr. BLAINE's speech OF Wednesday was
clever He is clever man, and can make
clever speech any day; but his present
effort is susceptible Of condensation. We
will put the whole Of it IN two short para
graphs, namely:
l. The policy OF the Republican party
since the war; and especially the amend
ment to the Constitution Of tho United
States, forced through by Republican votes
and Republican management, by which
amendment the emancipoted negroes of the
South were endowed with the right Of suf-
trage without probation or education, though
warmly supported by me BLAINE at the
time. and though for a great period subser-
Went 10 the brgand operations Of Republic
can carpet-baggers in the South, are now
proving themselves exceedingly unfavor-
able to the continuance in power Of the Re-
publican party, and exceedingly inconyen-
lent to Republican politicians.
II. This amendment to the Constitution
cannot be repealed or altered; and the CON
sequences Of this Republican, policy cannot
90 escaped. But we can make speeches
against these consequences, and can cndcav-
or thereby to make at the North an amount
OF political capital OF which We Republicans
are now desperately in need.
This is by no means as ilowcry and as fine
as Mr.. BLAINE's speech was in the delivery
but tho whole substance Of it is here.

Yours truly, GroReE BiptE

Mr.. TILDEN is by no means the only prom
iucnt citizen ~ New York who declined to
return tho amount of his income tax, and
VINO, preiorring the alternative provided by
the law, left the determination thereof TO
the officers Of the Government. There are
hundreds who adopted the same course, aud
In that respect arc in the same situation IA
he and the number includes Republicans
as well rs Democrats and others.
The reason why Mr.. T1LDLS has boon
singled out il that in 1916 he was the candi-
date for President OF the Democratic party;
that he was lawfully elected, and that he
and the majority Of the citizens Of this
country were deprived Of their rights in
this matter through a conspiracy concocted
among leaders OF the Republican party, and
through frauds that they procured and
consummated. Thus, while Mr.. T1LDEN j.
the only man who has any good right now
TO exercise the ofllcc OF President Of the
United States, IL is Of importance to the
authors and henrllciaries Of this conspiracy
OF these frauds, that he should be entirely
destroyed; and for this purpose they have
set up against him the prosecution which
Mr. BIDLE regards with such well-foundcd
aversion.

been elected and deirauded az we have stated

The RenI Thnnks-iYinc.

We find in the Springfield R'pubiican a
letter from Washington, evidently written
by a woman, oXtolling the domestic virtues
Of Mr.. RUTHERFORD b. HAYES. 1t seems he
had regular "homcly, hearty, old-fash-
Toned, democratic dinner ut the White
House" on Thanksgiving Day. That was
right enough, aud if the correspondent of
our much bereft contemporary assisted at it,
we hope sho enjoyed the turkey and got the
piece she particularly prefers.
Though it is rightly, in its wild state,
our national emblem, and we are obliged out
OF patriotism TO eat it on Thanksgiving
Day. no conscientious Rastronomcr commits
himself to tho opinion that the domcsticatod
turkey deserves the highest place among pr-
ticles OF food, Still, wise carver will be
able 10 give favored guest cuts from that
overcstlmatcd bird which will satisfy his
appetite and help to reconcile him To
Thanksgiving.
We have no doubt HAYES gave pretty
fair, though commonplace, Thanksgiving
dinner. Why shouldn't he He didn't pay
for II himself, ana very likely his turkey was
raised under the directions of Mr.. Commits
sioner LIE DUO, who ought TO know enough
about agriculture to breed turkeys, hard az
1t is to rear them.
