THE AMERICAN NAvY.-Our small
American navy was once the dread of the
civilized world. 1t was made so by men
with small financial means and great
souls. Its proud position ia the worlds
history in the days of Jackson's Presi-
dency, will never be forgotten. 1t is re-
markable fact that the position of man
of-war in the Seine while a demand for
the payment of molley due the Republic
was made upon Lpuis Philippe, made
the French Assembly tremble with dread
aud amazement, aud all the threats
which the 'fire-eaters" in that body used
did not serve to make that vessel remove
until she received the welcome news
that the demand for the money would be
promptly honored The old men who
remember the receipt of the news that
the King of the French had yielded to
the demand Of Jackson, and that the
money which all former coaXiug had
failed to secure, vas paid upon the sum
mary demand of the American Presi-
dent, will also remember how the name
and fame of the old hero was again rung
through the land. The great victory OF
New Orleans was almost eclipsed by this
one,in the minds of many, and especially
in the minds Of such American mer-
chants as had waited so many years fol
payment for their vessels, seized upor
the high seas. 1t may be pleasant tt
remember how high the American navy
stood in the wOrld's estimation in day
gone by, and contrast it then with wha

MANToN MARBIE's able exposition Of
Mr.. Tilden's connection With the EleC.
toral Commission will be found In this
issue Of the DEMOCRAT The public have
long been waiting for this piece Of his.
tory, and now that the secrecy is remov-
ed, the sagacity and high principle ol
Mr.. Tilden are manifest. The public
have been leng expecting this piece ol
secret history, 1t has not been ostenta-
tiously given by the man who was elect
ed President of the United States, but
defrauded thereof. 1t is, however, well
and ably given in good time, and amply
and completely establishes the straight
forward, good common sense of Mr.. Til
den. The Democratic press were quies-
cent, or sanctioned the Electoral Com
mission on the suppostion that it was
approved by Mr.. Tiden. For some
time, however, it has been stated that he
disapproved of the whole scheme, and
hence the anxiety to learn the secret his
tory. Let our friends read and .re'read.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1878-08-08

THE Republican party claims the pa
ternity of the greenback. They do not
however, say, they used it to favor the
bondholders, and to rob and ruin the
people. Their policy deprecated the
greenback, rendered it of uncertain and
changeable value, and yet took it at the
same time at par for gold bonds; and
after thus building up the public debt,
double or more to what it should have
been, adopted the contracting policy to
accommodate and enrich still more the
same moneyed class, and thus brought
on the crisis, business prostration and
general bankrupty and ruin. 1t is now
near FIVE years since the crisis set in.
And what remedy have the Republican
leaders in power proposed or attempted?
They did not even propose return to
economy. When the Democratic House
of Congress, that first met in Dec. 1875,
proposed and insisted upon a contracs
ton Of Government expenditures, re-
form in managing public affairs, a re-
turn to economy in order to tighten the
burdens of the people, the Republican
Administration and the Republican Sen.
ate opposed every effort. After a long,
fierce and bitter contest, the Democratic
House got reduction, but only a little
over half what they proposed. All this
is history, and should be remembered.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1878-08-08

THE Philadelphia inquirer very reaS
sonably advises the Republicans to be
in no haste to speak or think i'll of South
Carolina, because of the conflict in that
State on judicial jurisdiction, between
the Federal and local courts
The one fact which attracts attention
at this moment is that the State courts
are at issue with the General Governs
ment, and our instant impulse is to con.
denim the State, and desire that the Gov
ernmeht shall enforce unconditional
submission; but we must consider that
our own State courts have been at issue
with the General Government before
now, and thatwe are disposed to applaud
the frmness of our judiciary in mains
tanning the authority of our local tribu>
nails, the irst refuge ofthe people against
wrong and injustice of every kind. 1t is
of the highest importance that the power
and authority of such courts, the tribuN
mails nearest to the people, should be es-
tablished and respected as well in South
Carolina as in Pennsylvania; as we'll
against invasion of right by a United
States officer as by the humblest citizen.
The above is good doctrine, The ex.
cited feeling in South Carolina on this
subject is not to be wondered at when
we know Circuit Judge Bond is the Fed,
eral Judge who proposes to exercise ju,
risdiction. He it was who interfered to
discharge the Returning Board, in GUS
tody for contempt of the Supreme Court
of the State. He seems to be capable
of anything to aid his party.

OUR article last week places the FessN
Ter question in the true light We stated
that George Fessler was in jail in con-
sequence Of his unfortunate and foolish
fight to Canada, with thirty thousand
dollars of Stark county's money. Mr.. F..
says this was his mistake. He also says
he was advised thereto by men he sup
posed were his friends. Who we're these
men? Why did they advise Mr.. Fessler
to this step1 What was their motive
Wherefore did they urge George Fessler
to rob Stark County of thirty thousand
dollars and run off to Canada2
All this is the gist of the Fessler ques'
ton as it stands now. The examination
of the books in the Auditors Office is Of
no consequence. This was never or
dered by the County Commissioners
These officials never spoke to Henry
Cock or A. McGregor to examine the
books, and Mr.. Cock will not say so,
the Repository TO the contrary notwith>
standing, Does the organ wish to con-
ceal the criminal advisers of George
Fessler? Why not give us the names
of these gentlemen? The people would
like to know who are these evil advisers
that induced George Fessler to his ruin
and disgrace, Let the Repository meet
this question first and foremost.
The gist Of the whole matter is here,
and Mr.. Fessler we'll knows it N07O.
