OLD Thurlow Weed, an old Republic
can editor and radical leader, went from
Albany, where he then resided, down to
New York, in 1856, and obtained from
the Seward men fand to enable him to
defeat Fillmore. Having dread of in
vestigations, he placed $4,000 in an AL.
bany bank to the credit of his partner,
to be drawn out as it might be needed.
A few days afterwards the partner drop
ped dead in the street, and the bank paid
over the money, with the other sums de-
posted by him, to his widow. This was
not agreeable to Mr.. Weed, but his dis
gust was increased when, couple of
years later, Mr.. Fillmore wooed and mar
ried the widow-and, the $40 900. Mr..
Weed was interviewed about this the
other day in New York and substantially
confirmed it to a World reporter.

MORE FUNNY THAN PINAFoRE,

The comic war between Peru and Bo.
livia and Chill is proceeding with humor.
Gus ferocity. The latest adviCes tell of a
terrific naval engagement between Chi
lian ship and two Peruvian vessels. The
fight lasted through two hours, the twen-
ty guns upon one side belching fire and
smoke, which were answered with thun-
der and birthstone from the six guns
upon the other side. At the conclusion
of the dreadful contest the Chilian ship
withdrew and sailed merrily away over
the bounding pillows of the blue Paci-
fic, with not man hurt, not a spar splin-
tered, and not rope disordered. The
Peruvian ships escaped without scratch.

The laboring people, farmers, and me-
chanics and manufacturers of the great
State of California, have adopted the new
Constitution by majority of some ten
thousand. The wealthy classes, bankers,
owners of mines and land-monopolists,
spent large sums in trying to defeat it,
The peoples party succeeded and should
now be vigilant in placing the enforce
ment of it in proper and sympathetic
hands. Let the friends not be cheated
out of their victory. Put the Constitu.
Lion in the hands of its friends. Let the
State and County officers be chosen in
the same interest. The battle is not

WHO ARE THE REyoLUrIoN1sTs.

WHO ARE THE REYoLUTIONIsTs.
We have President who never was
elected.
We have a Supreme Court, three
members OF which violated law, oath,
and justice to count in the unelected
President.
We have Congress, representing the
majority of the people, but not permitted
to act by a fraudulent Executive and a
fanatical minority.
We have the monstrous theory that
the Legislative is to obey the wishes of
the Executive, not the Executive to ex-
ecute the laws of the Legislative.
We have the assumption that there
is but one man to save the country"
and he Grant but one party to rule
that is, the Republican party but one
great duty of the day, that to defy the
will of clear majority of the people.
Is this real republic? Is this popular
selfgovernmentP 2 Is it not, on the con-
trary, breaking up the character of the
Government very fast
Which is worse-dividing or destroy
ing a republicP Which il more terrible
breaking up the form or character of q
government
Had the rebels of 1861 succeeded, they
would only have divided the republic.
But if the stalwart crew of the Indefinite
Term and Robson order succeed they
will destroy it. st. Louis Post Dispatch

tration. Grant was equally ready with
fair promises, but did not hesitate to use
troops to control elections under the very
law Democratic Congress now are try
ing to repeal, and which Mr.. Hayes pre-
vents by his vetoes. President Grants
course was scathingly denounced by Carl
Schurz and Mr.. Evarts, now members of
Mr.. Hayes's cabinet. Mr.. Hayes now
seems to be the creature Of the stalWarts,
and his Shiny course gives no guarantee of
an honorable future. He got power thro'
infamy, perjury, forgery and fraud. He
has bestowed his Offices upon the vile
instruments thereof. An administration
thus obtaining power, might be expected
to dispense hush money aud bribes to its
ballot thieves and instruments. We can
not conceive that an honorable man
would accept position thus obtained

REV. HIRAM ToRBET, missionary OF
the NJ. Z. Church, who reached his sta
ton, Bombay, India, on December last,
was killed on March 9th by falling acCi-
dentally down the hold of ship. He
with party were on visit to the Amer.
lean ship, the "Harriet McGilvery," and
after tea he went forward to talk to the
men, and when returning it seems he
fell down the hold, although couple of
lanterns were placed to enable people to
observe. Mr., Torbet was 26 years of age,
and before going to India was stationed
at Smithville, Wayne county, in this
State. He is spoken of as worthy and
promising man.

STEEL rails are now imported into this
country from Great Britain, notwith-
standing the heavy duty. And it should
not be forgotten that the enormous pro-
tective duty upon iron did not prevent
that interest suffering fearful depression
and ruin in this country after the panic
in 1873. This very protection is an inn
portant factor in causing panicS and de-
preston and ruin. The system inter-
feres with regular, legitimate business,
disturbing values, and disarranging the
natural order of things, all which ulti-
mately work ruin. This hot.bed tariff
iniquity periodically caus es il Ilation in
our paper money system, and in due
time thereafter comes contraction and
collapse.

THE theory of our election laws is, that
on that day, freemen, voters, shall be
free from arrest, molestation or intimida-
ton. On that day, the free American
citizen is to pass upon his agents the
men in whose hands are the government
for the time being. Is it fair that these
agents shall have the right tor use the
military at electionsP Is not this the way
Of despotisms everywhereP Is it not the
way tyrants perpetuste their power2 Is
it not evident the aim Of the radical lead
ers is to continue their Presidential rule
by force and fraud2

New YORK, May 5.--A Tribune Column
bus special to-day says: Secretary Sher-
mans visit to Ohio has created a panic
among the Democrats, and their alarm is
shown by the prompt appearance Oh the
scene of Sereeant-at-Arms Thompson and
Ex-CongreSsman Rice, who have been
closeted together in consultation. 1t is un-
derstood that in the event OF Secretary Shers
mans nomination for Governor Mr.. Thur
man will withdraw his letter declining to
enter into the contest. Thompson declines
to be interviewed, but it is apparent that
his presence here IS for the purpose OF keep
ing personal lookout
Rice substantially admitted that the be-
lief had now become fixed among Demo-
Gratis in Washington that Sherman would
enter into the race this fall, and under
these circumstances it is believed it would
become necessary for all other Democratic
candidates to withdraw and call upon
Thurman to fill the breach.
Rice thought that as Sherman had con-
cluded his labors in the Treasury, so far as
glory is concerned. he would now turn his
attention to his own State and ask the peo-
pie to indorSe his management of the Treas
ury by making him Governor. Should he
succeed in being elected there could be
but little doubt Of his being the Republican
candidate for the Presidency. THIS being
the case the Democrats are forced to meet
the Republicans with their strongest man,
the reward for victoryin either case being
the PRESIDENTIAL nomination.
