MAeNIFYINa THEIR OWN SINs.-Let DEM
ocratic Journals and orators howl over the
debts and taxes their war has brought. They
but magnify their own sins. Will any re-
sponsible member of the Democratic party
dare to deny that every dollar of debt is a
Democratic legacy? Every tax is Demo-
cratic gift. Generation after generation will
carry the Democratic burden from birth to
death. But for the Democratic party our
people would hardly have known the nature
of taxation. But for the Democratic party
the hundreds Of thousands of young men
whose bones are strewn over the South would
now be productive laborers and the support
and comfort OF families now desolate.
| SAVED TOO LITTLE.-We have saved too lit
| tie and spent too much. In building more
railroads than are yet needed, or more fac
tories, costly houses, or fine stores, or in
wasteful and extravagant living, we have SO
exhausted our m cans that we have not enough
to sustain our industry at full activity, What
can we do? Produce and save more. In no
way can the unexpended products of labor be
obtained except by labor Printing promises
does not make more wheat, nor save the
value to set our mills at work, and employ
GUS farmers in raising more food for busy
workmen.
1t will be recolected that during the war
between Russia and Turkey, Russian war
ship, the Cimbria, put into an obscure port
on the coast of Me-, where it lay for several
months. 1t brought men to man the new
ships purchased in Philadelphia, and now the
ship has been brought around to the last nam
ed city. reporter recently interviewed a
Russian officer as to the reason of lying at
that obscure port, and the answer given was,
that on account of the liquor laws of Maine it
was safe to allow men to go ON shore and
take exercise, which could not be permitted
in any other State.
Political violence at the South seems to be
on the increase. At Hicksford, Virginia, on
Wednesday, serious row occurred while
joint discussion was going on between Hinton
| and Jorgensen, candidates for Congress in the
Petersburg district. negro in the crowd,
while Republican was speaking, applauded
him. A Democratic spectator asked why he
did it and he said because he agreed with his
sentiments whereupon a friend of Hinton
shot and killed the negro.
The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser telegraphs that the Republi-
cans have decided upon their course in regard
to the cipher dispatches. He says that I" hey
will demand at the opening of Congress
most searching investigation of the whole
matter, and to whatever committee the case
all prominent parties to the frauds now ex-
posed in the kilograms be called at once"
John Bass, Barnum's giant, has house
near New Brunswick, which was robbed last
Friday night of plate and jewels of the value
of 81 900. The family was away at the time,
but neighbor noticed an outside door open
and gave the alarm. The goods were captur-
ed later in the possession of two men, recent
fy convicts at the State Prison, named John
Green and Patsey" Shepherd.
Wild ducks, coot, winter snipe, geese and
marsh hens are making their appearance in
the waters of Atlantic county, and sportsman
are bagging them in large numbers. Rabbits
and cartridges are also in season. Deer and
foxes are seen occasionally, and bear tracks
have been discovered in the vicinity of Estle-
vile.
It may be interesting to some of our farm
ers who are complaining of the low prices of
farm produce here, to learn the prices out
West. Here is what farmer writes from
Missouri, formerly Jerseyman Wheat, rs
cents per bushel rye, 20 cents per bushel
corn, % cents per bushel; oats, 10 cents !;
chickens, 81 dozen providing they are
large opes) butter from 5 to 6 cents per
pound eggs from to cents per dozen.
In 1875, when the Democracy had failed in
their offer of 1856, 900 for the purchase of the
South Carolina board of canvassers, they then
attempted to bnll-doze the Electoral College
and put the electors in Jail. Wade Hampton
and his aids are practicing the latter plan
with as much energy and more success in
1878.
The Democratic party, that in 1876 was
willing to pay $S5, 900 in South Carolina, $780,
900 in Florida, and $4,000 in Oregon for
Presidential eector, is the same party in 1873,
with a " National" addition, that offers to
pay off the entire public debt--1N CIPHERs--
if the dear people will only let them.
At q caucus of Greenback men in Ithaca,
N. Y, a few nights ago, the chairman made
the remark that "some black sheep were to
be found in every flock" The words were
no sooner uttered than up jumped colored
man, the only one present, and demanded to
know whom the chair was 'luding at.
Senator Blaine put it sharply when he said
" The question is not whether the people of
the United States shall go forward to resump-
ton, but whether, having actually reached
specie payments, they will by positive legisla-
ton go backward and adopt irredeemable pa
per currency
Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, told his
hearers at public meeting lately that there
is no use for Greenback party, for when the
Democrats get into power they will destroy
the National banks.
The mortality among Democrat statesmen
this year is positively frightful Mr.. Tilden
dies of too much cipher, Mr.. Thurman of too
much "Ohio idea," Mr.. Hendricks of too
much Communism, and the Massachusetts,
Democrats of too much Butler.
The I" shotgun" politicians of South Car
DINA give notice that they propose to elect u |
solid Democratic delegation to Congress at
any COST This threat is made by all the mar |
ty newspapers, and unless something practi- I
