GENERAL DEVENs AND THE BAY-sTATE
CAMPAIGN,

Attorney General DEvENs' absence from
the campaign in Massachusetts, has not
only been the occasion of unlayorable
comment in the Opposition press, but of
some Misrepresentation Of his motives by
the same agency. The explanation Of this
absence, given in our news columns few
days ago, is now supplement- d by per-
sonal letter written by General DEvENs to
Chairman HASKELL, of the Republican
State Committee, in which the writer re-
cites in detail the important character of
the large number of Cove rnment cases soon

A CONCERTED Democratic movement is
to be made at the next session of Congress
for reduction of the tax on whisky. The
Bourbon cry is, very naturally, for cheap
spirits, regardless of the fact that the gov
ernment receipts from internal revenue
sources have been largely reduced by the
reduction of the tax on tobacco In short,
it appears to be part OF Democratic states
manship to cripple the government by TAX
ing the tax off from luxuries and permit
ting it to remain or increasing it on neces-
sites.

The ethics Of walking-matChes arc not
such as to entitle them TO be taught in our
semnaries or colleges, or, for that matter, in
ourcommon schools From the examination
of EPH HOLLAND, who was placed under
arrest at New York during the late grand
wnlking-match in that city, it appears
that the gamblers had set up q cOmbina-
" ton pool on the affair, and had named
ROWELL, NJ MEEEIrr aud GUYON as first, see
ond and third. HAZAgL's walking inter-
fcred materially with their combination, and
the purpose seems TO have been for some one
10 hurl brick Rt him and thus disable his
walking abilities A san reporter was in
formed by well-known betting man that
SULLIVAN, HAZAEL's trainer, had told him
that sporting man had offered SULLIVAN
a liberal reward if he would keep his man
back and allow MERRITT to take second
place. "If not" the man said, he would
take means TO prevent HAzAEL from get
ting any place at ALL" And here follows
the betting mans narrative of his own ac-
tion:
As soon as heard this went TO this man
and told him that the difference between tho
roceints OF tho second man aud tho third
would not be more than about 50 900. 1T
would hardly be worth your while" l said, "to
Kill HAzAEL or to disable him for so small u
sum as that" But the man was not to bo
ieerod or bullied out Of his intention TO disable
HAzAEL. He swore he would not allow him
10 Ako second place, no matter what means he
bad to adopt to prevent him irom doing SO.
A iter that / cannot say was much surprised
when heard that stone had been hurled ut
IiAzAEL.
II this correctly represents the ethics of
Walking matches we have had all of them

THE New York JfaH is catechising JOHN
KELLY on his political orthodoxy. 1t al
ludes to his remark that he believes in New
York city first last and all the time"
and responds, 80 do we"-and adds:
Our faith and our aspiration seek ono flag
to defend, QUO Nation to protect; one equal
Constitution to revere, and one freedom to
cherish equal for and common TO all. Does
JOHN KELLY desire the same?
KELLY has not yet replied to this cate
Ghetto assault, and may not have time until
after the election.

SIX years ago the entire country was
shocked and financial panic ensucd from
the failure of the banking house of Jay
Cooke Il Co. The month of October, 1873,
marked the beginning of the commercial de-
preston which added so much subsequent
ly to the difficulties and embarrassments
attendant upon specie resumption. Money
then commanded u per cent. per day, and
was not plenty at that. But the country
has outlved or lived down all this trouble,
and comes out of it with renewed strength
for the enjoyment of the most unexampled
prosperity Money Is now loaned as low
as 4 i! per cent per ann um, and within the
past five or six weeks twenty-five or thirty
millions of specie have been received from
abroad in return for our manifold over
products. But the greatest benefit to be
derived from this return TO prosperity re-
sides in the fact that it insures the death of
Greenbac<ism. The Rag Baby, born of
misery aud general business stagnation, is
now being choked TO death by the plethoric
success of the times. Six years has been
long period for the brat 10 live; but they
are about ended. Funeral one week from
next Tuesday.

TfLDEN's last venture in the boom bust
ness will probably turn out tho most un.
fortunate of any yet started. He has now
hitched up with one who will make itlively
for his bar'l-who will outlie Satan him
self; and when he has scooped the old man
rs deeply as he can dive, will then 20 for an
other fellow. "Tramps" are Inherent, you

ONE year ago the Democrats were assail.
ing GEORGE C. GoRHAM with the yilest
weapons they could draw from laboratories
of abuse and misrepresentation Now they
are feeding him taify and patting him fondly
on the back as good fellow, because for
reasons sufficient to himself he supported
of California. There is nothing endears a
Republican to the Democracy so soon or so
strongly as for him to show the slightest de-
fecton toward his own party, Then comes
tho palaver and the tafly; but in this case
it will be wasted. If GEORGE should paddle
his own canoe in future, it will not be in
Bourbon waters. His political affections do
not centre there.

at each crossing. But Sir. Norris avoided
these alternatives by digging ditch across
tho road, one end OF which opened in the
lot and the other in the pasture, and which
was deep enough and wide enough to allow
q COW to pass through, over which he built
bridge for the passage of vehiclcs, &c.
Thus his cattle can go to and return from
pasture without any trouble whatever and
the worry and trouble of keeping gates and
fences in repair il dispensed with. One or
two of his ncghbors have followed his cx-
amr' nri all are well pleased with the ar
rG ant.
The ordinance Of the Town Council rcgu-
lating the Market, which we published last
week, is q judicious and proper one, i'll our
opinion. The proposition to tax persons
selling beef or other meats in the town of
Anderson, unless they rent q stall in the
Market would, if carried out, have driven
every person who comes from the country
to sell beef in town TO the necessity of
paying license for the privilege, and would
have resulted in driving off this portion OF
the towns supply. OF course, it would he
good thing for those renting stalls in the
Market If no other person could sell with
out paying license or fine, as it would
practically give them monopoly of the
business in town. There is no more reason
for protecting those engaged in selling fresh
meats than for protecting the merchants
who sell -four, corn, &C., and if farmer
should be taxed for the privilege of selling
meat 10 the citizens Of the town. he should
also be taxed for the privilege of selling
flour, corn, DC. Such policy would be
ruinous to the best interests of tho town,
besides being unjust and oppressive. 1t
would tend to drive of competition, and
lessen the trade of the town, and for this
reason the Town Council has acted wisely
i'll refusing to begin such policy by taxing
the people of the country who may have
beef to sell in town. The people approve
this action OF the Council, US they have
done its previous thoughtful ard cconom-
cal management.
