ACCORDING to the Washington cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Press, the
breezy letter of Representative FELTON, is
causing many angry comments. on the
part of prominent Northern and Western
Democrats now in Washington. They
say that if such are the sentiments and
purposes Of any considerable portion Of
the Democratic party in the South the
party had better abandon its organiza-
ton at once. and any further efforts to
carry such States as New York. New
Jersey. Connecticut and Indiana would
be waste of time, and. iii the language
of the Gramercy Park statesman. a - fu-
tile daliance' These same gentlemen
say that the Democratic party of the
North and West have suffered too much
because of their devotion to the South to
permit themselves to be any longer in
undated by such threats as Represent
tative FELTON, and others are INDUCING in;
that Southern leaders must bear in mind
that all the evils and disasters that have
befallen the Democratic party since the
wan -, due entirely to Southern AFRO
gance. dictation and assumption of su-
periority i'll party management, to which
the North will not submit; that the re-
cent successes of the Republican party
in the North and West We're due solely
to the attitude of the South producing
such results as the Chisolm massacre
the Yazoo assassinations and their reck-
less reputation of State, municipal and
private debts due to citizens of the North:
that but for these things the probabili-
ties are that the party would not occupy
the humiliating position that it does to-
day, but in all probability would be in
the ascendancy in the hitherto doubtful
States referred to- Music by the whole
band.

WHAT WILL THEY DO?

1t is not unnatural or unreasonable. of
course. that the friends of Local Option
should be specializing at this time as to
the probable course of Messrs. McCul-
Tough, Steele and Tombstone. with refer
ence to a special Local Option bill for
Cecil county. A majority of ., 13S votes
has already been given in favor of such
bill. VIII these gentlemen then re-
gard, or disregard, SO emphatic an ex-
preston of sentiment on the subject?
That is the question. The liquor men Of
Cecil county claim the credit of sartng
the election of these gentlemen. But
the majority was overwhelming the other
way on the question. A conversation
occurred in Elkton few days ago, in
which a prominent hotel keeper of Cecil
county gave his view of the situation.
A gentleman remarked to him that the
election was over.
Yes We did not succeed in pulling
the whole ticket through" was the re-
ply; "but we made our point-we car
ried the Legislative ticket"
"Was there much opposition to it

but we liquor men made up our minds
to save that ticket. and we did,
How was that done p was the query.
"The liquor men throughout the county
,C0rked for the ticket. |, for one con-
tributed or spent $50 for that part of the
ticket. and as there were sixty-tive (6o)
licensed dealers in the county, the sum
raised was large, and the work done was
considerable, as they all ,corked for it,
DO you think the Democratic dele
gates will advocate, or favor, a Local
Option bill p
If they do" was the reply, "Mey
,clH 90 5ucA: on their promises. " Mr.
Steele" he further replied, had said
that as his (Mr. Steele's) liquor friends
had elected him, he could not 60 back on
Them
This conversation indicates that the
liquor men of Cecil county claim the
election of these delegates by the use OF
money and influence. and expect their
interests be defended in the Legisla-
ture. They-the liquor men-evidently
will regard it as a piece of treachery il
these delegates do not defend their inter-
ests, because they regarded the election
of Enoch Mccullough, Iaines and Jones
as necessarily fatal to them, and therefore
they supported their opponents, the
Democratic ufspledged candidates. Who
is to be deceived? We shall see.

HER LAST NEEDLE.

Poor Egypt! There is no help for it, She
threw away about the last monoith which
remains to the chains of her affection and
patriotism, but they had grown So rusty
for want of use that they snapped imme-
diately, and she has not been able to
forge any new bonds strong enough to
retain her last needle. As far as history
informs us, Cleopatra was not greatly
given to the use of the needle, 50 if her
ghost wanders among the ruins of the
scenes of her loves and triumphs she will
not. probably, miss the obelisks. At all
events, the last Of them that is left on
its native soil is coming to us. 1t has

who cherished the prejudices and nursed
the follies and foibles of their times.
Fortune, it is true, took flight with their

but natural that it should be SO, perhaps.
The work Of thorough national restora-
ton goes but slowly on. There are some
symptoms of thawing out of the still
Solid South, but SO far as the newspapers
can be taken as safe opponents of public
opinion, the Southern policy that still
excludes Northern capital and discour-
ages Northern emigration, is the general
and popular one. 1t is true that one rep
resentative Southern newspaper is being
extensively quoted as protesting against
the fatal policy of erclusion adopted by
the South. The Nashville american goes
SO far as to say that "if it were possible
to blot out the word South from our po-
litical nomenclature, it would perhaps be
an advantage to all sections. We do not
mean that in Difference to anybody else.

adds that sit would be well to remember
hereafter that the portion of the country
geographically designated as the South
is but small part of great whole and
that while all parts have their peculiar
faults and virtues, none has a monopoly
of virtue or claim to superiority. By
certain provincial exclusiveness and
claim of peculiar virtue the South has
preserved much that was valuable which
might have been lost; but the time is
approaching when the Southern people

them, and from considering the defects
of others. and what they consider, and
have rightly considered, the injustice of
others, to their own peculiar faults"

the contrary, it's good sense is excep-

BROTHERI.Y AFFECTION.
TILDES MUST 90,

From The Vichsbruy Herald (Dem.)
Aside from the merits of the objections
to Mr.. Tilden-the actual right or wrong
OF them in the abstract-the feeling has
been widespread that to nominate him
would be to open the campaign upon
side issue too big in its proportions to
leave time for any other, and too small
in its consequence to take victory from
one great political party and give it to
another. Like Webster and Clay and
Calhoun and Douglass, Mr.. Tilden must
see the Presidency almost within his
grasp only to drift away beyond his
reach forever. Some newer and more
unsullied man, some truer and purer
representative Of the great principles for
which the party is to contend, some
bayard, sans peur ct sans reproche, must
step forth and take the banner from his
hand. With the right leader and the
right platform the outlook is by no
means hopeless.

From The NaStrule Bonner (Den.)
Unless our leaders pause. our State is
gone. A division now, and we need have
no hope of carrying anything. Every
thing will be lost. Why cannot We agree
to disagree for little while? The reck-
lessness of few will entail misery on
thousands. Republicans unite with any
one to pay the debt. The same policy
that elected Maynard will win for them
again. They are already laying their
plans, and whenever our stalwarts, on
either side, speak boldly they see in that
a hope. Without division, they have no
chance. But, remember, we have only
about 10000 majority. A division could
not fail to elect Republican State officials,
and Il strong chance for defeat through

GEN. GRANTS last speech is the best he
has made since his return. 1t is, also,
the most important. The language is
that of true patriot and clear headed
observer, who has so thoroughly realized
the new status of his country among the
nations, and is so proud of it, as a whole,
that he has risen above partisanship and
sectionalism, and means to stay there.
Grant is a man Of few words. but they
are always suggestive and can be fairly
construed to mean far more than appears
on the surface. 1t is, therefore, very sig.
nificant that he closes written speech
which throughout is imbued with a
national pride that knows no North
and no South" by saying:
do not know anything that can es-
