Postmaster General Key has given ad-
ditional evidence of his love for Office
and his servility in order to retain his
position. The letter; which we publish
elsewhere, indicates the true character of
the man. He realized that his position
in the Cabinet was in danger, and imme.
diately. he writes this letter, which places
him outside of the Democratic party and
into the fold of Republicanism. He
makes his cry of alarm in order to shield,
if possible, the Republicans from the ex-
posure of their frauds. 1t is in bad
taste for him to write this letter above all
others, for the investigation duplicates
the President who is giving him Office,
snd Mr.. Key evidently writes it to repay
the appointment and hold on to the po-
sition. He catches up the ridiculous cry
of Mexicanization, and becomes more
blatant than Eugene Hale, in declaring
that the South must take the response
billy of this investigation, and that we
are now menaced with civil war. Sure
ly Mr.. Keys brain has become fevered
by the fear OF decapitation to see any
such consequences. Atany rate, if there
is any danger of revolution it is from the
fact that fraud holds the Presidential
Office, and does not desire an investiga-
ton of the crimes Of his party. We
think this investigation does mean rev.
olution, but it is to be bloodless one,
and will be effected at the ballot box.
The result of the investigation, if we are
not disappointed, will revolutionize this
government, at the next election for
President, from the Republicans to the
Democrats, and then such men as Mr..
Key will retire from public life. Such a
revolution, however, does not frighten
the people. 1t is consummation great
" to be desired.

THE SPRINGFIELD SYRINGE. REPUBLICAN. i,


THE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN.
We publish elsewhere the complacent
article of the Springfield Republican in
reply to the comments of some Of. the
Sauth Carolina press upon its recent I'M
fair, prejudiced and incorrect article
about South Carolina, in which it refers
to upper Carolina as ignorant, prejudiced
and practically as hypocritical. The
Rpabiicc1 begins its reply by congratu-
lating the people of Carolina that they
have had an opportunity to see them
selves as they are seen by an indepen-
dent Northerner, apparently forgetting
thatwe have been eomplipented by just
such fayors frequently before, as the
readers Of the New York Tribune, Herald
and SIN have frequently I ID occasion to
note. The fact is, the Northern visitor
who carries away the views entertained
by the Rspu6Eoaa do their own intelli-
gence and judgment, if they have any, but
scank Justice by parading such incorrect
psctusesof South Carolina to the world.
Tho editor Of the Republican certainly
could not have visited but one section Of
the State. Without meaning any re-
fection upon any section of South Car
olina, We would call the Republscan's
attention to the fact that there are more
colleges above Columbia, both. male and
female, than there are below it, and their
standard of scholarship is as high as any
in South Carolina, and as an evidence Of
their merit they are attended by students
from every portion Of the State. Citi-
zens of The upper counties of South Car
olina are, in proportion to numbers, as
Intelligent and refined IS any in the
South, as such communities IS Abbe-
vile, Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg,
and the other up-country towns will
abundantly prove to any unprejudiced
mind. Moreover, a number of the most
successful business men Of Charleston
are from the up-country, and are the
peers of the native citizens of the place.
The fact that local differences may or
may not exist does, notprove anything TO
the disadvantage of either section. We
II .
have eontended all along that no sub
z stanhal differences exist between the two
sections of our State, but if they did it
would not signify that either was lacking
in intelligence or patriotism. This is .
free country, and two intelligent sections
of country may differ entirely from each
other. 1.-THE Rpub5iean has not learned
this it had best study the A. 3. G. prin-
ciples ofour institutions. The mere fact
that the Edgefeld Democracy did not
endorse ali of Governor Hampton's views
is no evidence ofignorance On their part
nor on the part Of Governor. Hampton
If the people of the whole State were to
bl;ndly follow Governor Hamnton or
any other man it.wonld be sure indica-
tion of ignorance and servility on their
part, which would be no compliment to
the Governor. It's the highest compli.
ment of his life that an intelligent peo-

Dacotah, Utah, New Mexico and Washing
ton Territories will be clamoring for adInis-
sion into the Union at the next session Of
Congress, but in vain 1t is true that each OF
these territories has a larger population than
the newly made States Of Nevada and Colo
RADIO; but the Democratic party will oppose
this system of creating new States, by which
the Republicans have managed to preserve
their power SO long and which enabled them,
thanks to Colorado, to capture the Presidency
in 1876 Almost every new State falls imme-
diately into the hands and control Of the Re
publican party That party now holds no less
than six of these rotten boroughs: Rhode
Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Nevada,
Nebraska and Colorado, with twelve Senators
and eighteen electoral votes The Demo cratic
party will certainly not add to this list.

they have awakened to the fact that
now they have more schools for their chill
dren and better teachers than under Repuh-
ican rule, and they rejoice in the better feel
ing that has been established between them
selves and the whites. Hence the Democrats
and Conservatives entered into the election
resolved to leave no effort untried to hold
possession of the Legislature, and thousands
Of the negroes honestly and sincerely desired
the continuance Of the Democrats in power,
and cast their votes by hundreds for the Dem
ocratic candidates.
Finally: The just and conservative policy
pursued by Gov. Nichols toward all classes
Of the people, Influenced large numbers OF
the negroes to vote the -Conserv-
alive ticket. In dealing with the colored
people the Governor and our State officials
generally have been considerate and just A
number of colored men were appointed to
responsible offices, and in no case have any
Of them had cause to complain OF the Dem
Ocratic Governor Or other officials OF the
State. From apprehension of, they have
learned to have confidence in, Democratic
government The contrast between the
agitation and turmoil in which their Radical
leaders kept them from 1868 to 1877 and the
peace they have enjoyed since, has pleased
them. They have had justice; they have
had protection; they have had schools and
work. Is 1t strange, then, that thousands Oh
them preferred to vote for the men who
had given them these things rather than for
the old frauds, raseals and impostors
whom they followed bootlessly for ten years?
These are the chief reasons why the Demo-
Gratis won an unprecedented victory on the
fifth instant And is it not more honorable,
just and decent for the Republican press to
recognize these reasons than to charge the
whole people of State with having won q
great election In the interest of reform and
good government by fraud, perjury and
wholesale murder?

The Toledo Commercial IS trying to con-
vince the stalWarts that Hayes policy is the
winning card. When Grant went into the
Presidency in 1872, the Republicans held
States with 296 electoral votes, while the
Democrats controlled only sixty-nine electo-
raj votes. In two years time, under Grant s
policy, the Democrats had completely re-
versed the figures and held States with 1858
electoral votes, to Republican States with
only 1o1 electoral votes. Under Hayes ban
ner and the policy which he announced would
be his, the country stood in 1876, 185 Republi-
can ~ to 1874 Democratic electoral votes, and
in 1873 POT Republican to 1876 Democratic
electoral votes; that is, In two years Grant
managed to lose the Republicans seventeen
States with 1911 electoral votes; while Hayes,
In three years, has gained them seven States,
with 139 electoral votes. The figures of the
Commercial seem all right In this calculation,
but it is difficult to see where any Republican
success comes in.

The papers Of Northern Texas notice the
arrival Of the advance guard Of winter
ramps. who are pouring by thousands into
the Lone Star State. According to these pa
pers the crop this year is larger than for
many years past, but Of q very inferior char
acter. Fortunately, the runnor Of yellow
fever In various small towns In Mississippi
has preserved us, up to this time, from this
terrible scourge. We wish to warn tramps
against visiting this city this year. We have
lost SO much by the late epidemic that it will
be found no easy matter to feed and clothe
our own population. It will beimpossibIe for
New Orleans to support some five or ten
thousand tramps this winter, rs usual We
hope the tramps will take this kindly and
not call this year. Next winter we will be
glad to see them.

A host Of Republican politicians in Con-
necticut offer themselves as Senator Bar
NUNS successor The strongest candid ates
of those mentioned are Gen. Joseph r. Haw-
ley and Marshall l.. Jewell. JEWELS chances
are improved by the fact that HaWley has
just been elected to Congress in. a Democratic
district on his personal popularity, and it is
feared that If he should be chosen Senator
the Democrats would reCapture the dis
trict and thus tie the delegation. This makes
Jewell the favorite. There is much opposi-
ton to him, however II Hawley's friends do
not go into the caucus his election may be
secured by g. combination with the Demo-
Gratis, as was done some years ago when
seventeen Republicans refused to support
Jewell, the caucus nominee and with the aid
of the Democrats elected Ferry. It may be
assumed that the latter will leave no means
untried to defeat Jewell, who is, perhaps the
| most Objectionable Republican in the State.

Senator Voorhees,, 1t Is said, will introduce o
bill in Congress this winter to make the trade
dollar legal tender, This, he says, will add
at once some s2OOo0,o0O to the circulation OF
the country. The trade dollar is now certain
~ what Voorhees, called it-a swindle. 1t was
coined for the Chinese trade, but will 'not be
taken by the Chinese because it does not con-
tain as much silver as the Chinese or Mexican
dollar, while in this country it is not current
because 1t contains more silver than the
standard silver dollar and has a different
eagle imprinted on 1t. The trade dollar con-
tains ten cents more silver than the standard
dollar. but is worth ten cents less. Senator
voorhees, desires to correct this strange con-
tradi ction

HIS NAME EXPUNGED."

The New York Sun, after making itself the
Iliad of Tildens woes for the past two years
and doing all 1t could to defeat every Demo
cratic Congressman In New York, and else
where, that supported the electoral commits
sion or voted for the Burchard and Hutch
ings resolutions, suddenly took tack in its
course the other day and coolly told Mr.. Tilden
he was not the sort Of hairpin to make a
presidential nominee of, and advised him to
abandon his aspirations and scheming to
attain that object
This very extraordinary proceeding on the
part of the Sun was matter of universal sur
prise, unheralded and unexplained as it was
This abandonment of Tilden by his Warwick
is thus explained by the New York Star.
A tew weeks ago the Washington CORE
spondent Of the Sun was summoned to this
city, and instructed to prepare and bring
with him such facts as he might have in re-
lation to the cipher telegram disclosures, IN
the Tribune. On the following day he called
on Mr.. Tilden, and after q long conference
the substance Of card OF explanation was
decided, upon. The following, morning an
eminent counsel Immediately associated
with the editor OF the Sun, called upon Mr.
TiIden in Gramercy Park, at his own request,
when they consulted privately as to the best
manner Of introducing the explanation to the
public.
1t seems, however that ON the previous
evening Mr.. Iilden had taken Hon. John
Bgelow into his confidence, and they. had
arranged that the card should be published
IN the Eyening Post. it was accordingl y pub
lished in that newspaper. accompanied by an
editorial by Mr.. Goodwin, and, as the readers
OF the Star may remember, was copied by the
morning journals the following day. The
same card appeared in the Sun, but without n
line Of comment, and from that day until the
Sun threw him overheard his name has not
appeared in the columns Of that journal,
II this be true, Mr.. TiIden has certainly
provoked the treatment he has received from
the Sun, and, in view OF the long and persistent
fight that paper has made in his interests, the
provocation was an exceedingly great one
Doubtless Mr.. Tilden will feel the want OF the
SUMS support before the campaign Of 1880 is
fairly opened and he will doubtless get it TN
less New York can develop an equally strong
candidate against the Western aspirants,
which is not at all probable.

Mr.. Jean Chaust, Of Pointe Coupee, is a
patriot of the right kind. Although sick on
election day-he was convalescing from the
yellow fever-he insisted upon casting his
vote. His friends endeayored to dissuade
him from this, thinking that the exposure
might make him i'll again, He persisted,
however, on the ground that the parish
Was close one and his vote was needed,
and drove to the polls and voted q
straight Democratic ticket. The result was
q relapse and death. A few Democrats like
Chaust up North this year and the Demo-
cratic party would not have to score defeats
In New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

THE LORD RECTOR OF ABERDEEN.

The election of the Earl of Roseberry
as Lord Rector Of the University
of Aberdeen over the Home Min
lister Of the Beaconsfield administration is
regarded as evidence Of growing dissatis-
faction with the Conservative government,
The Office appears to be o sort Of honorary
sinecure, the incumbent of which Is elected
by the matrculated students Of the Scottish
universities. There seems to be no partieu-
lar authority attached to 1t, yet from the
strenuous efforts made by the ministry
to elect one Of its members over
Lord Roseberry, Liberal, and one of the
coming leaders Of that party, If we are to be-
Iieve the hattering illusions to him by the
press, would indicate that great stress was
laid on the election by both parties. The
present Chancellor of the Universityis no less
a person than the Duke Of Richmond, q lead
ing member and supporter of the Conserva-
tive government. The last Lord Rector was
Mr.. Forster, a Liberal member OF Parliament,
and the government made a special point to
supply his place with Conservative states
man, as this would be construed as demon
stration Of the popularity OF the Beaconsfield
ministry.
The first person put in the field by the
government was the Earl Of Aberdeen, a
young noble of vast estates and large family
influence. The Duke of Richmond threw all
of his vast influence in his favor. In spite
Of all this, that brilliant and accomplished
young nobleman," as Lord Roseberry Is
called, although he declined to enter actively
into the contest. was overwhelmingly elected
as the representative Of the Liberal party,

The Picayatne has been Topping agian; this
time with O. perfect looseness Anterior to
the Baton Rouge Convention the PIC. was O.

ton unanimously adopted the financial plat
form of the DEMOCRAT, the Picnyeoae, to be
on the strong side, suddenly came out as q

paper. But q day or two ago it took fright at

North made in favor of gold ans. national
banks, and ST. it Topped back, and is once

questions, of the elf-constituted organ Of the

The Item defends Its approval OF the ferocious
views reported by the Chicago Tribune to have
been expressed by District Attorney Leonard
to the President on the ground that the DEM
oCRAT printed tho Chicago papers account
OF the interview without condemnation or
even comment. The Item must understand
that it is impossible for any journal to com
accord with It's sentiments. We printed the
interview because it was highly interesting to
our people. We did not comment on 1t because
the extravaganza of the charges against the
people of North Louisiana was o sufficient re-
futation Of the whole mass of falsehood. An
other reason, and the chief one, why we did
mot comment on 1t was that we did not believe
1t was a correct report of what Mr.. Leonard
said, and the moderation Of his expressions
since he arrived in New Orleans tends to con-
firm our doubt Of the genuineness Of the in
terview.
We did not condemn the Item for publish
ing the interview Or any portion Of 1t, as
news. We eensured it because, while repre-
senting large and respectable faction Of our
fellow-Democrats, it approved and applauded
editorially the threats and the most obnoxious
statements which the Tribune had attributed
readiness to uphold the district attorney in
the wild and reckless prosecutions he was
represented as coming home to institute
against his fellow citizens and old friends and

the cheapness of ante-bellum prices, as every
thing is cheaper to-day than it has been for
forty years The average Of prices for all
staple articles Is 1876 per cent lower than il
1860 Prices, apparently, are still falling as
they are Is per cent lower now than at this

The Afghan war has really begun, although
no blood has yet been shed. Yesterday the
British Cabinet ordered that the Indian army
should at once advance upon the Ameer's
possessions. The importance Of this order
will be understood when it Is remembered
that Shere Ali became involved in the diff
Guilty with Great Britain because of his friend
ship for Russia. It Is hardly probable that
the Car will sec his ally dispossessed OF his
sovereignty without affording him some
assistance. The remote consequences give
this Afghan war its Importance, and cause
London streets and clubs to bubble over with
excitement.
