chameleon Opinions.

Washington gossip, says the Baiti-
more SIN, would have us believe that
Secretary McCrary, who has made the
law of elections a subject Ct special
study md has written on the subject
repeatedly, either wrote or furnished
the data for the chief part of the Presi-
dents message vetoing the army bill.
To show how utterly without founda-
ton this impression is we have only to
quote what Mr.. McCrary has said over
his own signature in his volume on the
law of elections: "There can, however,
be no doubt" he says, "but that the
law looks with great disfavor upon
anything like an interference by the
military with the freedom Of an cleo
ton. An armed force IN the neigh
6orhood Of the polls is almost Of ne
cessity q menace to the U0ters and
an interference nth their freedom
and independence; and if such armed
force be in the hands of or under the
control of the partisan friends of any
particular candidate or set of candi>
1ates, the probability Of improper in
reference becomes still stronger" 1t
would seem impossible for a person
holding such views to have written the
message, but the disparity between
mans opinions and his official acts is
sometimes very wide indeed. Thus,
ex President Grant, who Used the army
recklessly and persisteatly to interfere
with elections and overturn civil gov>
ernments, wrote, before he became Pres
ident, and while he was only candi>
date, to express his belief that "it is of
the highest Importance that the pres
ence of military force at the polls be
not suffered except in serious emer
gencies, when disorders exist or are
threatened, for the suppression or pre-
vention of which the ordinary peace
force is insufficient; and any statute
which should provide for or permit such
presence as usual occurrence, or ex-
cept in the last resort, though it might
not be void, would nevertheless be
serious invasion of Constitutional right,
and should not be submitted to IN
free government Without rigorous
remonstrdnce." There is so much of
the civilian tone in that sentence, how
ever, that the probabilities are that
Gen. Grant never wrote it, but that it
was written for him by some astute
person, who knew It was good policy
to put it in his mouth; but evidently
it never did reach the Generals head,
therefore he didn't remember it when he
got to be President.-Greenbricr hide

Expressions Of Public Opinion.
The Resumption Humbng.
Huntington Adxertiserl


Secretary Sherman made a speech
at Mansfield, Ohio, last Monday in
which he felicitated his hearers upon
the success of his scheme of resump.
ton. He said: 1.-TWO years ago,
when l had the pleasure of speaking
to you about resumption of specie
payments, stating thatif we would 90
back to gold, then would be the be-
ginning of prosperity. Since then
loss followed loss, and failure follow
ed failure until gloom generally pre-
vailed" Certainly, Mr.. Sherman,
you prophesied truly and well, but
we cannot understand how it is that
you, who knew so well in advance
that these losses and failures and this
gloom must come as the result Of en-
forced resumption, could have the
heart to carry out the system which
should inevitably bring them about.
Does the fact that You have profted
to the extent of millions by the adj
vantage that your knowledge and Of
fetal position gave you, account for
your stolid indifference to the conse-
qucnces which you foresaw and now
recount? Such must be the judg-
ment of your fellow citizens.

The Republicans are exceedingly
nervous just now for fear the Demo
Gratis will succeed in prohibl>ag in
reference with elections by the mill
tary and their fears are well ground
ed. The same party is resorting to
every kind of subterfuge to revise
sectional hate, they are Haunting the
bloody shirt, holding up the negro
and his wrongs to the gaze of the
country, sounding the hard-money
whoop, these are noble and patriotic
themes and have the further virtue
of being the political stock in trade
of that party In the campaign of
1880 the Democrats must not be led
off by side issues but confine them
selves to purely National questions.
BY pursuing this policy alone can
they hope to succeed.

SWISS IMMIGRATIoN.-Und the eff
ficient management of Mr.. c. f. Lutz,
the venerable gentleman who has
charge of the immigration movement
to this state, the Cheat River country
promises to be soon settled by stur-
DIV, reliable, hard working people.
Already there are several colonies of
Swiss in Randolph county, and this
week another colony arrived, reach
irg Grafton on Thursday morning.
The leader is Mr.. Strahsen, and they
were met at Baltimore by Mr.. Lutz
and safely piloted to their destina-
ton. We looked in upon them while
at breakfast at the Hechmer House,
and counted thirty eight men, women
and children, the majority beng fine
looking young men. In talk with
Mr.. Lutz we learned that they had
left Switzerland on April 18th, and
they were all natives Of that country
except two, who were Italians. Mr..
Lutz said that they would settle in
the Cheat country, Is miles from
Beverly, and that he had made all
preparations for them to buy land at
about $500 an acre. He further
said that at least two hundred Swiss
are now ready to come and that they
will arrive between now and fall.
The men of the party started across
the country on foot, while Mr.. Lutz
procured vehicles for the women and
children.-Grafton Eagle.

The surface indications appear just
now to demonstrate a well grounded
probability that while Gen. Grant is
unwilling to run until he is sent for,
yet, whenever the politicians seriously
ask him to become their candidate
for the Presidency, he will be reason
ably prompt to return the bill to the
house with his objections briefly and
succinctly stated.
