SOUTHERN GRATIrupE.-Ilere is what
John +. House, a democratic nominee for
Congress from Tennessee, said in acknowl-
edging his nomination " In the next con-
test two great parties will divide upon the
governments policy and without sectional
animoslty. Sectional hatred will be elm
mated from the contest. So far as the
South is concerned | am certain such will
be the case. | cannot find it in my heart to
indulge in feelings of malice towards the
people of the North When | witness their
magnanimous conduct toward the Southern
people feel like pulling off my hat aud
standing uncovered in their presence. o,
grander than the victory of Appomattox is
the victory won by the people of the North
in their noble aud generous contributions
10 the stricken and suffering South. Upon
that fated field the South surrendered her
sword. Within the shadow of the dark
wing of the pestlence, beside the new
made graves of her heroic sons and daugh-
ters, with bowed head and fearful eyes, she
surrendered her heart to the generous and
lnagnanimous North, and Gods own hand
has bridged the bloody chasm. Let not the
ambition of man seek to reopen the wounds
and to rekindle the embers of sectional
strife. Let us go into this great contest Of
1880 without any of these elements of sec
tonal bitterness"

Singular Surfeit.

The suffrage ladies of Massachusetts, are
apparently suffering from an embarrassment
of riches. The Republican candidate for
Governor, Mr.. Talbot, thinks that women
should vote, and gives his money to support
the cause. The Faneuil Hall democratic
platform "covers woman suffrage by Ian.
guage which is not capable of evasion" Cen
eral Butler nominated by the national party
and the Worcester democratic convention,
&c has been for years an avowed friend of
woman suffrage" The prohibition party
which nominated DIR. Miner, admitted thirty
women delegates to its state convention
Under these circumstances, it is admitted
by the ladies that men who favor their cause
may vote for whichever of the candidates
for Governor they please. There isn't any
more reason for voting for one than another,
so far as the question of suffrage is con-
cerned. Hence it is also the opinion of the
ladies that strong effort should be made
to carry the legislature. Good men of all
parties are to be appealed to for the sake of
their wives, mothers, sisters and daughters,
" taxed without representation and governed
without consent"

GROSSLY USFAIR.-Whils all other papers,
so far as we have observed, that have noticed
President Hulbert's recent address at Mer-
iden, N. H., have warmly commended it, it
may not be thought remarkable that the
Burlington Free Press should find in it
nothing to admire; but it is remarkable
that even that paper, which lays some claim
to fairness, should condescend TO so low q
trick as to seek to justify its assault by quot
ing sentence whose grammatical construction
it changes entirely, by changes in The auihor''
punctuation. Such treatment the gentleman
at Middlebury can afford TO receive, better
than the gentleman at Burlington can at
ford 10 bestow.

INGERsoL ILLusTRATEs.-IIere is shoe
shop. One man in the shop is always busily
at work during the day-always industrious.
In the evening he goes counting good, nice
girl. There are five other men in the shop
who don't do any such thing. They spend
half of their working hours in loafing, and
their evenings in dissipation. This first
young man by-aud-by puts out from these
others and gets boot and shoe store Of his
own. Then he marries this girl. Soon he
is able to take his wife out to ride of an
evening. The five laborers, his former COM
panions, who see him INDUCING 10 this little
luxury, retire to neighboriug saloon and
pass resolution that there is an eternal
struggle between labor and capital"

The Gold Premium.

There is no better evidence of the gen.
eral belief in the governments capacity to
maintain resumption than the steadiness
which the premium on gold displays. Even
the perturbations in British commercial
circles caused by the failure of the Glasgow
bank, Hugh Balfour & Co., and others, were
not sufficient to cause variation in excess
of one.fourth per cent. This was certainly
astonishing, as the probability that the
great failures would be followed by run,
or at least by the threatening of one, should
have had the effect of tightening the money
market and sending the premium on gold
up considerably. If there was any well
defined belief in commercial circles that the
government would not be able to carry out
resumption, that belief would express itself
by an enhancement of the price at which
gold is rated. 1t is now less than four
score days until resumption is to take place,
and commercial people are so confident that
it will take place that they will not hazard
so much as fraction of cent premium.

CIRCUMSTANCES inherent in the situation
made the pit into which Tilden or his ad-
visers blindly stumbled. The Republicans
were in they had bat to intimate that the
party takes care of its own. That iutima-
ton made every partisan bribe-proof to the
other side, unless the contract and the cash
took an unmistakable form. Hayes kept
out of his canvass. Tilden is supposed to
have been deep in his He was either venal
himself or else he trusted the venal. Under
other circumstances there might have been
equal venality on the other side, but it was
not necessary, it cannot be proven, it can
only be conjectured, and the conjecture of
what might have been done by Bill Chandler
scarcely takes the sting out of what was
done by Smith Weed and accepted by some
body in Tilden's name at New York.-Spring

A NEuTRAL's OPINIoN,-The NeW York
Herald has a somewhat noticeable leader on
the breaking up of the democratic party,
Our contemporary finds on surveying the
field that the independent vote, which gave
considerable strength to the democratic
party in 1875, is now largely with the Re-
publicans and likely to remain there in
1880 BY running after tramps and the
worst financial hereses, the Herald thinks
the democrats have permanently ahenated
large numbers of voters. Hence these and
other signs are cited as indicating that the
democratic party is tumbling to pieces,
Well, will any right-minded man cry when
the last vestige of it is gone forever

A Coon WIrNEss.-Mr. Clarkson n.
Potter, member of Congress from New
York, who is best known as the chairman of
the famous investig ating committee which
discovered Anderson, Weber, and Mrs.
jerks, has declined denomination for
several reasons, one of which is that he is
reformer, and finds that reform has no
chance in democrat, Congress. There
fore, as he can do nothing in his special lire
he prefers to stay at home. Another reason
that he gives is that his past record is such
that he is less able than others would be to
present compromise front on the greenback
question. His meaning seems to be that
the democratic party has determined upon a
policy of concession to the greenbackers, and
as he would find it awkward to take back
what he has said on that subject, he thinks
it best for himself and his party to retire
and make room for somebody who is not
hndered by such difficulties from helping
to make the democratic party the party of
irredeemable fiat money. This is interest
ing as confession, but we did not need Mr..
Potter to tell us that the democratic party is
radically unsound on the question of honest
money.

BITING.-As fine specimen of polished
sarcasm, we copy the following from Lon
don paper d" We devote the most prominent
portion of our present issue to a record Of
the fact that the Right Hon. Benjamin Dis
raeli, Earl of Beaconsfsld, Knight OF the
Garter, and First Lord of the Treasury, in
order to show his sympathy with British
suffering, has generously subscribed the mu-
nificent sum of $50 for the relief of those
who have been rendered destitute by the
terrible Thames catastrophe The British
nation paid close upon $4,000 for sending
the noble lord to Berlin recently. in or
der that he might secure honors for him
self by the sham peace to which he he
came party. 1t is gratifying to fud in his
noble breast responsive throb of graft
tude, in the shape of donation of 500 to
which, for awful surroundings and wide
spread effect, is unparalleled in the annals
of misfortune. The noble lord has re-
ceived $4,000 in pension money from the
nation, and we need scarcely say that his
present salary, as Prime Minister, is $4,000
per annum. The lavish generosity, there
fore, with which he has met the SORROWS and
suddenly created wants of the relatives of
nearly seven hundred drowned people, will
surely be handed down to posterity as one
more title to the admiration and gratitude
which Ben iamn Disraeh has won from the
British people"

The Glasgow Bank Failure.

The high reputation of the Scotch system
of banking has enabled the directors Of the
Glasgow bank to deliberately prepare and
execute their gigantic fraud but the gu
periority of the American over the Scotch
system is fully demonstrated by this stu
pendous failure. The official investigation
shows that the circulation of the bank Of
Glasgow was a million and half (reckoned
ised by law. This could not have happened
under the United States statute, which re-
quires hundred dollars in bonds to be de-
posted at Washington before ninety dollars
in bills are issued to the bank. 1t appears,
furthermore, that for five years the Glasgow
directors have systematically falsifed the
accounts in order to conceal losses from the
The shareholders were led TO
believe that the bank held in cash million
dollars more than the actual reserve that
the good paper held by the bank was four
and one-half millions more than the amount
really on hand and that the loans were
five and one-half millions less than they
prove to be. The condition of the bank
was thus msrepresented to the amount of
eleven millions of dollars. Such misrep-
resentaton would have been impossible
under the American law, which requires the
publication of five statements, annually, to
be made whenever they are called for by the
Comptroller of the Currency, without pre-
vious notice. With such check upon their
proceedings, the Scotch directors would not
have dared to enter upon the course of de-
ception which they have pursued. The to-
tai loss, besides the capital stock of five mil
lions, will amount to twenty-five millions of
dollars. This ruinous loss was mainly in.
Cured by trying to sustain four failing debt
ors. The shareholders are personally liable
for the whole amount. The directors, see.
ing the tendency of events, have been grad
ually unloading their shares, which sold at
235 IL the day before the failure. The
secretary, managing director and six other
directors have been arrested on charge of
fraud, and no wonder.
