MADISON, INDIANA, Sept. Q, 1873.
Editors Of Intellisenecr.
During my recent journey down the
Ohio, while was delighted, us always
am, with the charming scenery, l was sad
dened at many points by the signs of de-
preston in business. At Pomeroy and
Ironton these are especially apparent.
Another trip which had recently COM
pleted-from Cincinnati to Western New
York-also surprised me by the number
OF silent factories Of various kinds which
were visible.
A PRovIDISTGAL REDuKE.
Is It not worth while for the people Of
this country to pause and ask what Provi-
dence means by the existing state Of
thingsP When the war OF the rebellion
occurred almost everybody sooner or later
saw in it the hand OF God. Surely, it is
reasonable to recognize His presence in the
financial troubles which have prevailed
now for years. In their sphere they are
working revolution rs great MS that
which was accomplished by the war in its
province. do not claim TO be tho conf.
dent OF the Almighty, but it does seem to
me that one great design Of the existing
state OF things is to rcbuke IN indecent
haste to be rich, and tho garrish display
and outrageous extravaganza OF those who
succeeded. l have no sympathy with the
disposition shown in some quarters to look
upon all wealth Us evil and all wealthy
people rs q sort OF reprobates. But there
Is excellent authorityfor saying that they
who will be rich, that is who are greedy to
get money quickly and in large quantities,
fall into snarcs and into many hurt
full lusts which drown men in de-
struction. And that is Just the spirit
which was engcndered during the war, by
its stimulation OF business. II would be too
much to assert that even majority OF men
used means which were dishonest, deplor-
able as have been the crimes which have

were not infected with the prevailing
mania to acquire wealth suddenly. This
has led to speculation, excessive produc-
ton, hurtfuf rivalry, and host OF similar
follies. Such a course is just as sure to
lead-to crash us filth is to feed q pesti-
lence. Any people who persist in violat-
ing the laws OF business may expect to
pay the penalty. God has so regulated
human affairs that the punishment follows
in the natural course OF things. Ieoniess
to an intense disgust for the secret scram-
bles and the shams and pretenses which
were born ofit. The time will come when
it will be pointed to as one Of the least ut
tractive eras in our history. And il by our
Christening We learn to seek wealth rs
something less than the chief end Of man,
to be content with competence il for
tune is withheld, and to despise the whole
sltoddy spirit, these hard times will be
much less than wholly a disaster.

In the Intellectual world one character
istic at present seems to be very promi-
nent. II is the disposition to dig up the
foundations OF things and scrtinizc them.
This is true in regard TO almost every
branch OF human Knowledge. Really, l
think it would be safe forthe present gen.
Grafton TO concede that our fathers know
at least q few things, and that principle
here and there in religion, science, finance,
government and the ike, has been settled.
Unfortunately many Of the exami-
nations of the foundations which
are now going forward, are exceeding
" crude and superficial. Even the
once staid old North american Rerie,c,
has been swept into the prevailing cur
rent, and in symposium to which it IN
vites its readers, In each number, under
takes TO treat such great subjects as future
retribution and inspiration, as n half.dozen
literary men might talk over the lost poem
Of Tennyson or Longfellow at supper
table. There were giants in the land when
the ancient foundations were laid 1t is
hardly probable that the men OF our times
are competent in this diilaante way TO do
their work over again. Such time is
an admirable occasion for putting into
practice that excellent Scriptural advice,
10 prove all things but to hold fast that
which is good. There are some things
which have come down to US from other
generations, and which are worth retain
Ing. In all our questionings we will do
well not to suffer them to slip out OF our
hands.

NEW POLITICAL rlLors.

In politics this spirit is apparent as in
other departments OF human affairs. Men
are coming to the front, who propose to
throw away all the old charts by which
the ship OF state hitherto has sailed and to
guide her by new theories which they
have evolved out OF their own brains. The
nation needs to be careful. We are out
on stormy seas. 1t is a question with
many thoughtful persons whether We
shall be able to outride the tempest. There
is no reason to despair, but there never
was time when there was greater need

THE PESTlLgNCE.

For the hour, in the country at large, the
yellow fever has engrossed the attention Of
all classes. The region OF the Lower Mis-.
sissippi is thoroughly panicstrickcn. The
distress no doubt is very great, and will
continue even after the pestilence has
ceased. This is one OF those dark things
the object OF which, rs sentby Providence,
we may not fully be able to recognize.
which we can see that it is accomplishing.
1t has brought out the better side Of hui
man nature just ut time when IL
needed to be seen. When men OF oil
shades OF political belief were ready,
in view OF the astounding revelations OF
falsehood and chicanery ofwhich the late
Presidential election was the occasion, to
ask whether there was any virtue left in
the far southwest, many OF the people OF
that section have presented themselves to
the world us moral heroes, by their minis
trations to the sick and dying. There is
hope Of any region which can furn.
ish such men as compose tho Howard or
the Young Mems Christian Associations
OF New Orleans and Memphis. fin poll
tics the corrupt elements Of society have
been at the front; in the pestilencc the
noble and the selfsacrifcing have taken
their places.
The generous gifts Of the North too,
must go far toward the removal OF the es-
arrangement between the two sections. II
anybody supposes that it will cause revo.
luton in the political bias Of the South he
will probably be mistaken. But It must
greatly modify sectional bitterness and
prejudice. That much is certainly very
desirable end.
l can see another wise purpose which
may be accomplished by the pestilence.
II shows the benefcent influence OF Chris
tianity. tits the Towards, a body OF men
who have baptized themselves with the
name OF the great Christian philanthropy
list, and the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation who stand out most prominently
among the agents Of mercy now at work
in the plague.stricken regions. These are
the fruits Of Christianity. II Is fair to ask
men in these sceptical times to Judge the
tree by its fruit, Until infdelity can fur
nish something which Is worthy OF being
named along with these services OF kind
ness, let il keep It's hands of the religion

Grant on the Question of Fraud

vi dut Uu tuO QuCotlou VI IL duus
4 letter from Amsterdam relates
the following, as part of conver-
sation held with ex-President Grant,
while he was at Amsterdam:
When allusion was made to Grant
about fraud in the late Presidential
election, he remarked that the as
sumption that the popular vote show
ed Democratic majority was pal
pable absurdity when the figures were
examined, that the real frand was in
a dishonest count of the vote on their
side. Look, for example" said he,
lat New York. The entire vote of
that State in 1868 was S49,766. In
1872 it was only S27,S3S, out Of
which the Republican ticket had a
majority of 53,420. yet in 1876 the
entire vote was raised to 1,011, ,156,
an increase of 183,31S, and by NO
means warranted by the growth of
population. Out of this the Demo
cratic ticket was counted as having
134.670 more votes than it had at the
preceding election, and this, too, al
though the Republican ticket gained
$4,000 votes. Can anybody" he said,
"believe this to have been an honest
count And yet it has been tolera-
ted and conceded by the Republican
party. Or" said he, "take the facts
IN regard to Mississippi. In 1872
the entire Presidential vote was 129,-
107, of which the Democratic ticket
had only 47,191, but yet in 1876 the
entire vote was 164,778, out of which
were counted for the Democrats H.
173, giving their candidate a major
ity of So, 9,468. No one, said he, "who
is well informed in regard to the sit
uation of that State, can believe that
such count was an exposition of the
preference Of the electors Also of
South Carolina. In 1872 the entire
vote was 95,193, of which the Demo
Gratis only claimed %, ,903, yet in 1876
the entire vote is run up to 1S3, ,521,
and the Democratic vote to 81, ,440.
Can any one believe" said he, that
there was neither fraud nor intimida-
ton in securing such a result. No.
the real fraud has been perpetrated
by those who are raising the cry of
fraud" The General seemed per
fectiy familiar with the figures and
the results. He appears to have
studied the Southern question very
thoroughly.

KeaFHsyfs First Speech at Boston.

fornia agitator, arrived in Boston,
Massachusetts,. A great crowd gath
cred at the hotel where he stopped,
ard called for speech. He spoke as
follows

opportunity to hear me speak at length. 4

cssses Of some Of the political plunderers,
while they are peEging away at the rest.
Our war is death to monopoly, death to
debased capital death to Mongolian slavery

death upon death to political ptund-rers-

For Congress.

TIE 18th Congressional district hss
more attention directed to il nov. than
at suy time since its formation. In.
it lives Mr.. Stenger, who is Z Potter
Committee man, and seeks reelection.
The Democracy WISH him reelected. ;.
but be shoaid not be thought Of, % .
csudidAte, for . committee that is one
sided to fault, as was Stenger's,
should be retired, individually and COT
leotiveiy.
Mr.. Speer, who as State chairman
of the Democracy, lives in the district.
He ID trying = double perforwsnce Of
managing the Greenback and Demo-
cratic elements. He desires to gain
strength and sn ally by running Mr..
C. North for Congress IS a Greenbsck
er and at the same time through
Nor,h's agency with the GreenbAck
people secure two of that persuasion
from Huntingdon county for the Leg
isla,ure, where they are to vote for
Mr.. Sseer for u. S. Senator. There
is subtilty enough in the plot to satis-
fy Speer, but the result certainly will
be ashes. Meanwhile the three promi-
nent men in the ranks of the Republi-
can party for Congress are, Msbon,
Fisher, aud Atkinson. Perry county
presents no cardidate, Snyder and
Fulton, each, VII present good man,
bu, they ars understood IS not seeking
q district nomiuation
The field lies between Mahon, snd
Atkinson. As Mr.. Fishers place in
the State Senate will require bis pres
ence there, and to step from that body
to Congress, or to . district domination
would open the door to the greenbackers
of Huntingdon, led BY North and sup
ported by the Democracy of the district,
70 ra,se the cry of inordinate ambition
for Office, Mr.. Fisher does not lust for
office, and will hesitate long time be-
fore be will be put in . place that will
give strong ooloring to such charge,
and his good Republican friends should
in their zeal for the cause not insist in
placing hun IN such position.
Juuiata, properly speaking, is
minority county, but 1t takes the best
Of material to stand the fire in the
s,rongholds of the enemy, one campaign
after another and not give up to com =
plete rout. 1t is q mistaken line of ac-
tion, or policy to give nominations al
ways to majority courties, occasionally
q nomination given 20 a minority csun-
ty revolutionizes larger district. Ii
any one of all the Republican csndi-
dates in the 18th Congressional dis
irict can wrest the district froIo the
hold of Stenger aud Speer, that mau is
the candidate that the Republicans of
Junista will unanimously nominate for
Congress on the IL day of this August
1873. His name is Louis E. Atkin-
son.

Ksarney's First Speech in Boston.

READ Kearney's speech, as deliver
ed in Boston a few days ago, and
published M another column Of this
paper There seems to be one prom
iusut object in it, and that is, to
create bad feeling between people
who have means and people who have
no means. The point he desires to
make is to create bad feeling be-
tween the people who are employed
and the people who employ. He ut
terly failed to tell that In a great ma
iority of cases the people who now
employ others in their work, were
once employed inllike manner as they
now employ people. He says labor
in this country is king That is slly
talk. If lie means to say that labor
is in a majority, and has rights in
common, that is, to work or not work,
TO earn money or not earn money, to
save money or not save money, to ac-
quire property or not acquire prop
ertv, to attend schools and churches
or not attend schools and churches,
20 engage in any vocation it chooses,
he is right; but if he means that it
has arbitrary rights, such as kings
usually have, he is wrong.
Kearney may have the gift OF
speech, that will attract hearers, just
as one man will have the gift of
earning money in business and the
gift of keeping it, just as another
has gifts for other callings in life, but
if he talks as he began in Boston, it
will not take long for him to talk
himself to death; for certainly the
common sense of this country is
strong enough to see that when man
attempts to create bad blood between
the different financial conditions OF
the people of this country, he is do
ing a great wrong When he con
demns the men of means he con-
demns the men of no means, for the
men of means in Americs in the
great majority of cases are men OF
no means developed into men of
means. The poor get rich and the
rich get poor. Ii A was rich yester-
day, and is poor to-day, must the
poor A of to-day dislike himself of
Yesterday because he was rich; or if
A was poor yesterday and is rich to-
day, must the rich 4 of to-day dis
like himself because he was poor yes
terdayF If there is anything in
Kearneys position of antagonism, it is
Just this, that man must be contin-
1ally quarreling with himself, Just as
he gets rich or poor. According to
Kearney, a man when he is poor must
feel like slave, and when he is rich
he must feel like a thief, pirate, a
blood-sucker, and a plunderer.
Such talk like that is an insult TO
svery man who loves free institutions.
To hear man tell that a free work
ing man must feel like a slave, and
that a working man who has saved
his money must feel like a thief,
sounds like the talk of a disordered
mind.
