THOSE clphERs.

1t will be remembered that the tel
egrams disclosed the employment of
somebody to safely carry $50, 600 bride
money to Baltimore, Md. The New
York Tribune has been hunting out
the fellow that toted that sum from
New York down to Baltimore, and
here is what that journal says about it:
The Tribune has already shown how
Smith M. Weed, leaving Columbia
on Saturday night, Nov. IS, did ar
rive at Barnum's hotel in Baltimore
early Monday morning, the Goth, reg
istering there by his true name. 1t
was also shown, at the time of the
publication of the dispatches, that
the "safe man" met him with the
''stuff," according to appointment,
and that the failure of the scheme
was attributable to other causes than
neglect of the New York parties to
put up the money.
We have taken pains to verify Ger.
tain information which reached us
two weeks ago respecting this "safe
man." The chain of evidence is now
complete. The register of the Mount
Vernon hotel, a small and quiet house
in Baltimore, where person of retir.
+ ing disposition might be safe from Gu
rious eyes, shows among the arrivals
early on Monday morning, Nov. 20
William T. Pelton, of New York
At ten O'Clock, Mr.. Pelton, with {
friend who had accompanied him
from this city, took a carriage. Ear
ly in the day the friend was seen with
Mr.. Smith Weed at BarEum's hotel
1t was probably after this interview
to which it would not be rash to as
sumo that Mr.. PeltOn also was q par
ty-that Smith Weed sent his first ci
pher dispatch to Columbia:
BALTIMORE, Nov. 20.
Gen. j. B. Gordon, Columbia:
Matters arranged by returning
board agent. Inform Haskell an1

What occurred during the day tx
disturb the arrangement is not known
but in another dispatch to Gen. Cor
don, Weed asked that the suprem,
court might ''hold on to the electora
votes" because there might be "a lit
tie delays" and then at night Peltor
and his friend and Weed all returned
to New York.
The fact that it was Colonel Pelton
who made the journey to Baltimore
at such busy and critical time, in
compliance with Weeds request that
he would "bring the stuff himself il
prudent" is a most important discov.
cry. PeltOn assuredly would moi

HORATIO SEYMOUR regrets that he
is not able to take part in the political
canvass this fall in New York. In
his letter of regret to the public he,
however, takes occasion to ventilate
his views somewhat:
II do not believe" he says, "that
we can have a good currency that is
not redeemable in coin. But while a
bad currency will harm trade and in
dustry and good currency will help
them, still it is true that it cannot Of
itself make wealth or prosperity.
These must grow out of the industry
which produces, and the commerce
which exchanges what we make for
what we want. The question of the
day, then, Is what we can do to sell
what we have and what we can pro-
duce. The answer to that will solve
all our trouble, will make labor glad,
give comfort to our homes and give
life and hope to every form of indus
try"
Senator Bayard made a speech in
Philadelphia, Pa, last week in which
he took equally strong ground for
hard money. Thurman and Hem
bricks, on the other hand, are on the
soft money side. In 1880 the question
will be as it was in 1868, whether the
democracy shall take hard money
candidate for President, set upon a
soft money platform, or a soft money
man ON q hard money platform. Ex-
perience has shown that the hard
money man has been the winner here
totore, and it is highly probable that
time will disclose the same result in
1880.
Thurman might be trusted by hard
money democrats because everybody
knows that he dissembled his real f.
nancial views in this falls campaign,
but there will be a heap of democrats
that will not trust the great Ameri-
can straddler, Hendricks. Let the
matter terminate as it will, the claws
of the sound money chaps will be
there, though concealed in the candi-
date or the platform. p;a@

GEN. JOSEPH r. HAWLEY,

The first republican meeting of the
fall campaign in Connecticut was held
on the evening of Oct. 10. Gen. Jo-
seph r. Hawley delivered q stirring
address in favor of honest money,
from which we cut the following:
THE RUIN OF LABOR.
What monstrous and cruel delu-
sion it Is that the new and cheap mon
ey Is to be q blessing to the working
men, the laboring classes! The vast
majority Of us are really working
men, getting weekly or monthly our
wages or salaries. II you should be
working for anybody for pay, the first
you would see of the fat money
would be its tender to you for your
wages. You are q creditor. The La
boring people of the country are larg-
est and most important creditor class.
1t Is estimated that ON any given day
there are at least one hundred and
twenty millions due to the laborers
and mechanics. You cannot refuse to
take the money offered you Saturday,
for the law says you must take that
or nothing. And II you owe the gro
Ger and butcher, you can pass it over
to them and they must take that or
nothing. But that Is only the first
payment. You must 90 on working.
The moment you begin you again be-
come a creditor and the debtor en-
ployer can offer you the new cheap
legal tender. But perhaps the grocer
and butcher have had some difficulty
n, mo inn Y,u,vaoh vs,ikl, k1o
you gave them the previous week,
and when you come again to buy you
find that they have raised their prices.
That means that your new money
has deprecated. 1t is the same as to
say to you, II will sell You potatoes
at q dollar q bushel, as I have done,
and take your dollar at so cents" Or,
if he words it thus, as will be more
likely, II shall have to charge you
Ito q bushel for potatoes hereafter y

thing. !.

Ex-CoSGREssMAS HuRLBUT, Of Illinois, de-
clares that ho has ceased to bo au anti-Hayes
Republican from this date. He sees nothing
in the Potter movement but an attack upon
the peace and prosperity Of the country, and
believes IL will bring back into the party all
stragglcrs who have gone off In any direction.
This Is the comment from all quarters. The
Republican party Is more united than 10 has
been for years, while the the Democratic party
Is full Of contentious, and Is dcmoralized in
advance at the thick coming omens Of disas-
ter.
Hon. r. Q. MILLS course in Congress Is
commcndable throughout. He Is an able and
independent and consistent, and fearless
thinker and actor. lie was among the first to
oppose the Electoral Commission; but he now
opposes the Potter resolution because he
thinks Its practical effect, at this deferred and
unpropitious time, great public calamity,
and therefore great wrong. II the commits
sion Of error by an authorized power Is wrong,
the omission Of the only properly endowed
power, at the first opportunity, to correct the
error, Is equally wrong. Mr.. Mills, We think,
is thoroughly in earnest ITiHiamson County

DOwS WITH THE HEvoLUTIoSIsTs.

The war for the pcrpetuation of slavery
the most Internal crime of any age-endcd
when the rebels laid down their arms.
Then came the question of the restoration
of the rebel States to their proper relation
TO the National Government. Mr.. LINCOLN,
and thousands of other Union men, be-
lcved that the theory of orr Government
taught the doctrine that when resistance to
its authority ceased the States resumed the
position occupied by them previous to the
rebellion. After the assassination Of Mr.
LINCOLN this doctrine found but few advO-
Gates. Acquiescence in certain amendments
of the Constitution was required rs cOndi-
ton precedent to such recognition. One
of these gave the right Of suffrage to those
who had been held in bondage in those
States.
1t was evident that in the States where
this class of voters were most numerous
the electoral vote would he cast for the Re-
publican candidate for President and Vice
President. To prevent this associations
more infamous than the thugs of India
were formed InOfcnsve colorcd Rcpubli-
cans were tied up and lashcd until the
blood stTeamed from their laccratcd bodies.
/ These horrible infictions gave rise to the
new word "bull-dozing," because they were
such as only to be endured by a brute.
! Hundreds were taken from their humble
cabins ut night and shot down, surrounded
by their weeping wives and children, so as
to say to the living, "if you dare vote for
the Republican electors such, too, shall be
your fate" 1t had its desired effect Tens
of thousands of Republican voters were thus
driven by intimidation from the polls. Such
were the means adopted to secure an appa'
rent majority Ofthe votes of Louisiana for tn,
Democratic electors, To protect the rights
of the people Of that State the Legislature
enacted law creating board of commits
siOners, called returning board with tn,
authority to set aside the return of the poll
at which voters We're thus deprived of tn,
right to vote. Each State has the cOnstitu
tiOnal right to appoint electors for Prcsi
dent and NiCe-Presidentl in any name
d" the Legislature thereof may direct" Tn,
Legislature of that State had directed
the above method. The commissioners afte
u careful examination of all Of the facts
determined that a majority Of the Iega
votes had been given to the Republican
electors. The electoral colleges, formed q
directed by the Legislature, Of the scvca
States, met on the day fixed by law, and
majority cast their votes for the Republican
candidates, and they were legally elected.
