Many Of the subscriptions are for small

disegarding the warnings of Brick

BsS- We believe that the course which
the President has pursued has made in
dependent movements in the South
possible, and removed that fear of Fed
gral interference in local affairs which
has long made the whites of the South
q compact Democratic party. We be-
lieve, too, that the very fact that the
Southern leaders have practically re-
iected the tender of good will and that
very justice. which they demanded for
the South, has relieved the Republican
party from the charge that it is not dis
posed to accord the South its rights,
and fixed upon the Southern leaders
the responsibility of refusing to accept
in good faith the olive branch of peace,
and to carry out the spirit of the con-
stitutional amendments. Boston Jour

B6s- For State that has so recently
begun to stand alone, Louisiana,
through her Democratic Convention,
demands a good many things with a
surprising degree of vigor. They ac-
cept the old shop-keeper' invitation,
elf you don't see what you want ask
for it," in its literal sense and respond
with impressive alacrity. With such a

Government aid for levees, railroads
and steamship lines, the abolition of
the national banking system, the repeal
of the Resumption act and the payment
of all bonds and obligations of the Gov
ernment in greenbacks, they may have
to wait awhile before all they ask is
given. If they had only demanded the
abolition of the Louisiana Liar, they
would have demanded one thing at
least to which all the people would say
men.-Phttacleipbia Times (Ind.)
Bayn Mr.. Marble, in his defence of
Tilden, says that Tilden's plan for de-
feating the Republican conspiracy, So
called, "did not put up prices to Tinal
purchasers by competition and did
not involve the debauchment of fell
low citizen. And the Philadelphia
Times recently said: "Tilden did
not think it right to go into this busi-
ness'' of buying the Presidency. There
are two methods of dealing with dis
agreeable facts; one is to meet them
and answer them; the other is to ignore
them altogether. These champions of
Tilden have adopted the latter plan.
Everybody knows that Tilden did
attempt to buy up the electoral college
of Oregon, for everybody has read the
cipher dispatches sent by him to Cronin
and Cronin's friends, in which the fact
that Tilden's money, taken from Til
denis bank, was sent from Tilden' s
house, by Tilden's nephew, to achieve
the sale; and everybody knows that the
purchased member of the college tried
to serve Tilden and failed. Further
more, the only really important bit of
wickedness unearthed by the Potter
committee was the fact that Tilden
made an attempt to bribe member of
the electoral college of Louisiana and
failed. For this old political rascal to
come out now as a champion of virtue,
and to pretend that he would not
swerve an inch from the paths of hon
esty for the sake of gaining the Presi-
dency, is simply to show that he has
matchless etfrOntery.- Philadelphia BuL-

Ra~ Senator Plumb, of Kansas, lacks
good deal of being a great man, but
he makes sensible suggestion. He is
a member of the joint committee on the
reorganization of the army, which is
sitting at the White Sulphur Springs,
West Virginia. Being unable to attend
the meetings of the committee, he has
written to the chairman suggesting
that in his opinion it would be wise to
change their place of meeting to some
point an tho frontier whcre they can
observe the workings of the army in
active duty. There seems to be prac-
teal sense in this suggestion, but the
committee will probably prefer to
continue its session at a fashionable
watering-place. There is a story of a
country justice of the peace who did
not want to hear any authorities cited
for fear it might prejudice his mind.
The committee on the reorganization of
the army probably wishes to avoid all
contact with the practical operation of
the present system for a like reason.
1t is the same principle which makes
Senator Vorhees avoid facts in his fl
nancial arguments. They would ham,
per his imagination.-Indianapo
