was the cause of the fearful deed.
Judge Stuart delivered an address ON
temperance at the Methodist church
last Tuesday night. The Judge is a
strong temperance man and says he
will strike whisky whenever he gets in
reach of it; good.
Circuit Court adjourned here last
Monday evening. Only four eases on
the dOckctt untried, and we had short
term too. One reason why they got
through 80 soon was, there were quite
number of the litigants who cOmprO-
missed their eases without going into Il
trial, and great number who acted
more wisely still, and never brought
suit at all. We are civilized people up
here, don't you believe it? In spite of
all the lawyers.
Prof. Benton met quite a number Of
old friends here last week, who say that
he il just rs ugly as
ever, yet they Were glad to see him, and
hope he will call again.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 4, 1879.
Editor Herald:
1t is very dry here. There has not
been any rain here, to amount to any
thing, for nearly two months The
river is so low that boats, with the ex-
ception of few small ones, cannot run.
The consequence is that times are very
dull in the city. Coal is worth from
five to eight dollars per ton.
/ met DIR. Gilbert, the other day, and
he informs me that you and he are
warm friends. He conducted a private
quiz in the medical department of the
University of Louisville.
There are over two hundred matricu-
lates i'm this institution-my number
being 2lS, and several have come in
since l matriculated. DoctOrs-nO end
to them.
You will please send the HERALD
from now until the 18th of February,
1879, to Louisville, instead of Fords-

Wendell Phillips withdraws his name from
the Greenback ticket in Massachusetts.

Wendell Phillips withdraws his name from
the Greenback ticket in Massachusetts.
President Hayes is reported to have re-
peatedly said to friends on his Western trip,
that when at the time of his inauguration he
declared that he would not be candidate
for denomination, he meant it, and that he
should adhere to that decision.
In 1864 Lucius Robinson said, when asked
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of an investment in the
securities of the United States Government
Have nothing to do with them :" He now,
as candidate for Governor of New York, re-
presents Samuel j. Tilden who refused to
pay his income tax.
Gen. Hancock is Aleck Stephens's choice
for President, and a concerted effort is max
ing TO bring him forward as the candidate of
those Southerners who are opposed to an
other dish of Tilden and reform. But he is
too square and patriotic aman to get the De
mocratic nomination.
A great mass meeting was held in New
York last week by Tammany Democrats to
ratify the nomination Of John Kelly for
Governor. Stands were erected outside the
building from which speeches were made
denouncing Robinson and Tilden. Inside
the hall were 5000 Tammany men. David
Dudly Field was chairman and SO prominent
Democrats vice-presidents and secretaries.
Mr.. Field, Lieut.. Gov. Dorsheimer, Charles
W. Brooke and others also made speeches.
Mr. Cowen of Saratoga asserted that Sara
toga county would give the ticket headed by
Kelly 10, 900 votes. Mr. Kelly said he was
daily in receipt of dispatches from various
parts of the State asking if kelly will
stick" He desired TO say that Kelly will
stick"
When Dorsheimer asked, Thursday night,
what Tilden's object was in trying to get
control of the ballotboxes in this city, the
answer came quick and hot ITO stuff

1t was a very good little talk which Gen.
Grant made to the cx Confederate soldiers,
at San Francisco. He did not tell them that
their bravery consccratcd Their "lost cause, -
nor that there is no difference between trea-
son and loyalty; nor that the war and its
lessons are to he forgotten. He said
Gentlemen 1t has afforded me great
satisfaction and pleasure to observe the very
cordial reception | have received here, and
especially the welcome coming from the
gentlemen you represent II you had travel
cd around the world AS | have for several
years past you would appreciate like me the
value OF our common country more complete
ly than any man can who stays at home
You would he everywhere gratified to see
that We are recognized by all the nations of
the earth in a higher light than our own
people imagine. Our resources are con
sidercd unlimited, and when one gets to see
the nations of the world and consider, he
begins TO appreciate the inestimablc value of
our broad acres and the great energy Of our
people that is forever upbuilding in State and
city and town. II affords me great satisfac-
tI"n and pleasure to receive the gentlemen
who were long ago opposed TO Ls, and
nope, u Tins country ever sees another war,
We shall all he together under one flag fight

So, at Oakland, at joint camp fire of
soldiers Of both armies, General Grant said

soldiers of the two armies, and have ahid
Ing faith that this good feeling will always
exist. Thus united we have nothing to fear

people; they will bc perfectly willing to do
us justice without an appeal to arms, and, as

hdent our country has a long career of peace
and prosperity before her"
General Grant thus very properly en-
dcavored to arouse "A feeling Of true patriot

The Tribune. in series OF articles, has
been giving a catalogue of the States which
have repudiated, in whole or part, their debts
since the war. The list comprises Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Virginia. The losses sus-
tanned by creditors, as the consequence of
the various forms of reputation by these ten
States, amount in round numbers to two
hundred and seventy-two millions Of dollars.
Adding the municipal debts which have been
repudiatcd at the South, the total exceeds
three hundred millions of dollars which have
thus been wiped out. 1t is noticeable fact
that the work of reputation in these ten
States has uniformly been begun and carried
forward by the Democratic party, and never
by the Republican party. MISSIONER did the
Democracy return TO power in any one of
these States than it began TO devise the ways
and means for regulating portion or the
whole Of its debt-that which had been con-
tractcd before the war as well as that con-
tractcd aftcrward. OF course no one sup
poses that every Southern Democrat is a re-
pudiator, or that no Democrats have de-
nounccd and opposed the repudiating in
iquity vet the record which the Tribune
presents conclusively shows that the Southern
Democracy, as party, is the party Of repu-
diation. liquidation has been and still is
one Of its settled policies.
1t is also to DC noted, that far the larger
part Of these repudiated debts is due not to
the Southern people, but 10 Northern and
Eastern capitalists, and TO some extent to
foreign capitalists, who were invited by
solemn pledges Of State honor made in due
form of law, TO invest their capital in South
ern State bonds. These States, having got
their money upon fair promises, virtually
tell their creditors that they are sovereign
States and that the question of payment is
matter that belongs to their sovereign dis
erection. Creditors have no rights which
State sovereignty is bound to respect and no
rights which can be enforced against such
sovereignty. They must take what they can
get or take nothing and if they do not like
the terms, then they may whistle for their
money.
Nobody suppOses that political leaders
could have thus disgraccd whole section
Of the country if those whom they represent
and from whom they derive all their power
had been opposed to their measures. 1t is |
very plain that Southern Democracy can not
be safely trusted with the control of the |
General Government. Its doctrine of State |
rights and its policy of reputation alike dis
qualify it 10 take charge of the political af-
iairs Of this great Nation

Republican and Democratic Rule in New York
Contrasted

The great card of the Democrats in NV
York State is the alleged rctrenchment in the
management of the canals Secured und'r
Democratic State administration. This claim
is not only unsupported by facts, but Ii
flying in the face of all the statistics and
figures of the last sixteen years. During
half of that period the New York CANA
have been under Republican control and
during the other half under Democratic rule
Tables, drawn from the official records and
covering the whole field of debt payments,
surplus revenues. tolls, expenditures, per
centage of cost and tonnage, thus presenting
full and fair exhibit OF the manner II
which the two parties have administered
the canals, have been prepared blythe Repub-
licans. and show the following distinct
facts:
That in eight years the Republican admin
istration paid Off Sl1, 446, 990.25 of canal
debt, an annual average of 81 ,430, S73. IS :;
while in the same length Of time the Demo
cratic administration paid off 2,O6G, 900. an
annual average of S25S, 2i7 50-he Repubi-
cans paying of nerly SIR times as much Is
tie Democrats in an equal period That tlr
expenses of the canals fer The same length @

rule than under Republican RUE. That the
surplus revenues from the canals undg
eight years of Republican rule were S2j, 2T,
653 "a, while under eight years of Demo
cratic rule they Were only sc, 655, 71G.Sl.
Tie Republicans thus turning oc6r TO the
Treasury nearly four times as much as the
Democrats.
That the average percentage of the cost OF
maintenance was under Republican rule
90. 03 per cent on the income, while under
Democratic rule it was 7O.G3 per cent-Me
percentage Of cost being more hdn taeice as
much under the Democrats us HHdsr The Re
pu5HcanS
These exhibits tell their own story. When
the Republicans passed out of the manage
ment of the canals, they were paying of the
canal debt at the rate of million and half
year. Had their rule continued, they would
by this time have wiped out the entire debt
of the State. But the Democrats came into
power, and as result the debt is now about
as large as when their rule began.
Moreover, whatever economies in the canal
management the Democrats have been able
TO continue have been effected by means of
constitutional amendments. passed by the
Republicans in spite of Democratic opposi-
ton. These are the facts and the voters in
New York can draw their own conclusions.

JrDGE CHoATE, of The United States Dis
trict Court in New York. has rendered dc
cision denying Mr.. Tilden's application for a
''bill of particulars in the income tax suit,
In this the Judge says, the Government is
not Ia be presumed to know what any mans
income is, still less the several parts of which
it is made up. Every man is to be presumed
10 know these things with entire certainty"
The Judge also calls attention to the fact
that, although Mr.. Tildcn swcars that che
is Ignorant OF the particulars Of the claim
made against him, he does not swear that
he is ignorant nf the particulars of his income
during the periods in question. The CON
clusion that if he knew his income, it was
his duty 10 make an honest return of it for
taxation, the Judge leaves to be inferred If
Mr. Tilden docs not know his income for the
years in question. We believe the United
States District Attorney is now prepared to
enligh.en him. The evidence when it is
reached will show that Mr. Tidcn under
stated his income by hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars in one year, and very largely in
other years. The American people will
never, never cundonr fraud.
