1t is not often that Republicans find them
selves in accord with Mr.. Tilden, but they
can heartily subscribe to the sentiment ex-
pressed in his letter to the Ohio Democrats
in response to an invitation to join in the
Columbus observance of the battle of New
Orleans; in which he speaks in praise of
''The time honored custom of commemorate
ing an anniversary so dear to the hearts of
our fathers, aud in spirit so auspicious of
promise that the people will regain all the
rights of elective selfgovernment."
The sentiment is good and it is to be sin
cerely hoped that the Democrats wherever
they met on the Eighth of January took it to
heart, and that they will at once mend their
ways. We trust that they will show the
sincerity of their conviction and their re-
gret for past misdeeds by assisting the people
of South Carolina and Mississippi and Florida
to "regain all the rights of elective selfgov-
ernment." We look to see Mr.. Tilden
vigorously denounce ballot-box stufing in
the Palmetto State and calling for the pun
ishment of uegro-killers in Louisiana, and
we trust that the denunciation will be re-
peated by the Democratic papers and en-
phasized wherever Democrats meet in con-
vention. Of course Democrats everywhere
will heartily assist in discovering and bring
ing to justice those who have been guilty of
unlawfully limiting the elective franchise and
of abridging by death or less violent means,
the liberty of voters.
There is, it must be confessed, good deal
of skepticism in the country as to the sin
cerity of Mr.. Tilden aud his fellow Demo-
Gratis. This skepticism they have it in their
power to speedily remove. Let them afford
all possible aid to the Teller committee in
its investigation at New Orleans. Let the
Democratic authorities of Louisiana hunt
down and bring before the courts the men
accused of numbering eighty negroes in Ten
sas Parish and five in Natchitoches. Let the
Democratic authorities of South Carolina
discover and punish the men guilty of the out
rageous stuffing of ballot boxes in Charleston.
Let the Democratic authorities of Mississippi
see to it that the negro majority in that State
has its rights and its proper representation in
Congress. And let Democrats all over the
Union urge upon their fellows the doing of
justice and the undoing of injustice wherever
Democratic authority is felt and Democratic
responsibility assumed. That done the coun-
try will no longer hesitate to believe that
Mr.. Tilden is sincere when he hopes s'that
the people will regain all the rights of elec-
tive self-government." Until then we fear
it will be skeptical.

THE National Democrat finds that son
the money question proper, the message ad-
vances the old Constitutional doctrines domi-
nant in the country before they were reversed
by the Supreme Court and the new theory
proclaimed that the constitutional currency
of the country is and may be precisely what
the government chooses to make it," As
the old constitutional doctrine is that moth
ing but coin can lawfully be made legal
tender for debt, and the new theory is that
paper or anything else the Government
chooses may be made a alegal-tender, the man
who tries to reconcile old and new will have
task that must appall him. Does the
National Democrat aspire to be the exponent
of both doctrines?

views of the dominant party in the State
AS Governor Garcelon expressly declares that
nothing but gold and silver can lawfully be
made legal-tender for debt, we take it that
in the opinion Of the Augusta paper the up
holders of legal-tender currency do not
form the dominant party in this State. That
is an unkind cut at the Greenbackers.

cautiously remarks that for a time Che does

Democracy to the Union was chilled by
events. 1t was. it was. On the financial
question Mr.. Truman says a few vague
things about Democratic hostility to monopo-
lies and then discreetly drops the subject.
He also remarks that the Democratic party
believes in equal rights. In view of South
Carolina and Louisiana we are forced to be-
lieve that this is delicate sarcasm. But how
ever hesitating Mr.. Thurman is about living
issues he comes out strongly and unmis-
takably for Jackson. He is fat-footed there.
1t is believed in Columbus that the Ohio
Senator is working up Jackson's chances for
the Democratic nomination in 1880. 1t does
look that way, certainly.

THE KenSebec Journal takes sharp issue
with Governor Garcelon's statement that ex-
elusive of any payments on account of our
public debt, interest on the same, and Of
bounties to soldiers Or their families, the
State expenditures have nearly quadrupled
during the last twenty years. The Journal
says:
By reference to reports of the State Treasurer
it will be found that the expenditures for the
year 1857 were $456, go. The ordinary ex-
penditures for the year 1878 were 1927 1862. IS.
Thus in twenty-one years the ex penditures had
nearly doubled-uot quadrupled as the Cover
nor says-and the cause of this increase is
found, not in extravagance and waste, but
chiefly in the increase of money raised by the
State for the support of the public schools. In
1857 the State paid only the cum of $7S, ,461. SO
for the support of the public schools; in 1878 it
raised S427 1893 96 for the same purpose; an
amount larger by $349,437 3S than the sum
raised twenty years ago for schools. Stated
briefly the facts are as follows:
Expenditures for 1878, Ss27 1852 35
Expenditures for 1857, $456, ,701.60
Paid for support of Schools,
in 1878, more than in 1851, 349437 3S SO6 1888 9S
