Our ARTICLE in the REPUBLICAN of
Monday in reference to the non-spiritu-
ality OF latter day camp. meetings, met
the eyes of Presiding Elder Paxson, at
the Brandywine Summit Camp-meeting,
and yesterday that distinguished di-
vine took occas ion to refer to it in a
spirit Of denunciation not computing
strictly with the profession which he
makes Of forbearing humble christian.
He did not say that what We said in our
article was untrue, bat he tried to cre-
ate the impression that the author never
attended camp-meeting and was an
entire stranger to prayer meetings. OF
course Mr.. Paxson did not know at the
time he made the remark that the au-
thor of the article was member of the
church in good standing and that he
had been enoamped on the camp ground
almos. two weeks. This only shows
how liable Mr.. Paxson is to fall into er
ror in his assertions. His opinions
and views of coarse he is entitled to,
but to no greater extent than are others.
We did not refer to any particular can p
meeting in our article, but our amiabls
'risnd Paxson could not think tha
here had been other camp. meetings
leld throughout the country besides
Summit, and to which our
emarks were just as applicable. How
'ver we can afford to have Mr.. Paxson
lissent from our views-his opposition

A 6Pnnd Contest. .

The Republican party in Maine and
Ohio was never engaged in grsndsr
battle than at present. With a com
bination Of the Democratic and Green,
back parties arraysd against 1t, single
ihanded II fronts it and the spirit with
which it fights in behalf Of honesty and
good government challenges the admi-
ration of the people. The confidence
with which the Republicans are push.
ing the campaign in both the States
named is an evidence that they will
succeed in both and pave the way for
greater and grandsr victories at the
November elections. Itwould however
be unfortunate If at this juncture the
Republican managers should allow
their confidence TO mislead them as the
election in Maine in few days will
have great influence on Ohio in Octo-
Der. One fact which inspires the Re
publicans with redoubled energy is the
fact that by the action Of the Democrats
themselves, the election will have q
wide spread influence on the Presiden-
tial election. On the one hand the
Democrats tried hard at the beginning
Of the extra session to suppress the in
fationists, against whom all the forces
of current events were tending, and on
the other hand they tried under the
particular lead Of Ohio managers to re-.
peal the election laws which would en-
able them to rally their divided follow
ers fer 1880. In both these attempts
they have been terribly disappointed.
Their candidate for Governor Of Ohio
is the chief and head Of the imitation
movement in Congress, and his nom
ina ion commits them to his absurd and
ridiculous opinions, and instead Of
r ming their party by making the re-
peal Of the election laws an issue, the y
+ ave only succeeded in uniting their
opponents, while they are more angrily
divided than ever. Should they be
defeated in Ohio, they would be more
demoralised than ever. No more severe
check could be administered to their
hopes for 1880 than decided Repub.
lican victory in that State.

IL THE grand Republican victories
which are in store for that party both
this fall and next, Delaware will have
no share. Though containing Repub
lican majority her vote has been 50
manipulated, that she has become the
bob to the tail of the Democratic kite.
so etfectually has she been bound in
deceptive silken cords Of the Democracy
that she finds herself powerless. 1t il
strange that the Southern Democrats
in search of plan for the subjugation
J of the Republican vote did not hit up
on the Delaware expedient and there b.
saved their party from the charges ol
murder which are made against it, and
which unfortunately can be alntaine ed
and proven. Whatever Delaware Dem
ocrats have done they never adopted
the shot gun policy of intimidation, and
therefore have not the lives OF their
political opponents to answer for. With
a plant and trucking legislature it
was very easy to so amend the laws for
the assessment and collection of poll
taxes that Republicans who were only
assessed poll tax could be cheated out
Of their votes by collectors who were
exonerated from calling upon those who
were only assessed poll tax. The re-
suit Of this after several years of trial,
was to reduce the vote Of the State from
%, 900 in 1876 down to 5000 in 1878,
and the election of the Democratic tick
ct by over 1000 majority. No bull doz-
ing or shot gun policy in the South ever
brought forth greater results than this
and it is a great pity the Southern
leaders had not adopted this plan in
stead Of shot guns. Owing to this pol
icy Delaware will in 1880 cast her three
votes for Democratic President who.
ever he may be.

Reuthern Rlindness.

Ifthe Democratic party could retain
itss,fin power BY holding majority
from the Northern States it would bs
even more emphatic in condemnation
Of mob rule in the South than the Re-
publicans have been. That party
really in heart is not in favor Of the
bloodshsd and murder Of which its
party in the South have been guilty,
but being dependent upon the solid
South for its very existence it has to
ooudone its offences and apologize for
its political murders. What . pity 1t
il that any Democratic journalist who
has kindly feeling towards the un-
happy South should be moved BY the
sxigsncies Of partisanship to encourage
its fatal fault an instant longer. For
many years the South has repelled both
immigration and capital by its prefer
enoe for mob rule despotism. In her
mad phrensy she is both deaf and
blind to her own best interests, and
her desire for revenge upon the North
excludes every thought Of justice and
humanity until that desire is gratifsd.
What good can it do to mince words
about these we'll known facts Every
intelligent man Of the South in his own
heart knows whist is the matter. In
migrants who are worth having will
not go in large numbers to any region
where drunken mob is at the same
time the Executive, the Legislature,
the Court Of last resort and the Inspec-
tor Of Elections. No man who has sense
enough to accumulate capital, by
any honest means will prefer to
put it at stake in commu-
nifty SO uncivilized. Shrewd men
know that growth, thrift, and
solid enterprise are not to bo expected
in such state of society. For many
years the South nursed slavery, and
found in that institution the excuse and
poor beggarly compensation for con-
d tion Of semi barbarism. Now slavery
has been choked to death by violence,
and the former slaves are leaving the
South. Even to them, ignorant as
they are, uncultivated and unframed
to the enjoyment of freedom the State
of society which the white man makes
for himself is intolerable, and with a
pair of sturdy legs that bear working
man away to freedom, there walks of
from the South more Of its capital. Free
black labor, even without decent pro-
lection in the common rights of man
hood, has proved that it can raise lar
ger crops than slave labor. Tbs capi-
tai that is now walking away from the
South is worth more than all the capi-
tai invested in slaves. Under these
circumstances the best friends of the
South are those papers which expose
its faults, and would hold out to her
the same Inducements to prosperity
that has made the North great and
prosperous.

would be $l20, 900 in the City Treasury

take Mr.. Guthrie has made. At last

This evening orders for several thou

will no doubt reduce the amount to be
low, $50, 900. This is no idle specula-
