Views mad Purposes OF h Soutf
New YORK, February 1.
A prominent Southerner, conversing r.
| garding the mex Presidential campaign
| thus sets forth the views and purposes {
| that section. The people of the Sout
nave no opinions on finance which the
will not surrender for the sake Of success
We are opposed TO the national bankin
system, and desire to r~e-establish Stat
banks. We want q currency that ha
neither wings nor legs, and that will sta
whore il is issued. Admitting that thi
platform would lose New York and New
Jersey, he said they could afford that ]
they could carry Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and perhaps Pennsylvania. The Western
States, he said, are as much opposed to tn
national banking system as we OF tn
South. Our people in Ohio will make al
anti National Bank platform in the STATE
Convention this year, and so to the people
on that issue, with Thurman as theii
standard bearer. If we win there, thu
Presidential election of next year Is a.
good as won, for we shall put the SANE
idea into the national platform. II W,
lose, we have o year ahead in which
to perfect our new arrangements.
II our anti National Bank crusade fails in
the West, we shall become the hardest o.
hard money men, from an alliance will
the Eastern Democracy, and make a strike
for New York and New Jersey. The one
thing for which our people care more thar
anything else, is the preservation OF whai
we call our autonomy. We propose to
manage our local affairs in our own way,
and without the interference of the Gen
eral Government, and are ready to surren-
der every other political question for that
We can rally our voters just as well under
Dayard as under Thurman. If we fail in
our Western alliance, we will still have
chance to unite with the Eastern Democra-
cy and make q race with them. The South
is solid, and will remain so. We shall
have the machinery Of the elections In
1880. The Republican line is q long one,
extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific
oceans, and is pretty sure to BIO broken at
some weak point. We have two lines, and
the best part OF each. The Southern
States are solid.
The Irish RcvOIutiOnist.
New York, February 1.
James Stephens, the Irish revolutionist,
has Just returned from Europe, where he
has spent the last four years. He reports
that he was in constant communication
with the leaders in Ireland of the party
who believe in physical force; that all of
the revolutionary elements in Ireland are
united, and the faction in the revolution
AIRY ranks is at its last gasp. They have
not the numbers which they had in the
OF the Fenian Brotherhood, but
hey have discipline and harmony OF
and action, almost unknown be-
lore. The disorganization Of the Home
Rule party, which Stephens considered as
dead, has increased the revolutionary
ranks wonderfully. The fall of that party
may be the death knell of the constitution.
Il agitation among the Irish Nationalist.
He denounces the Skirmishing Fund
as akin to obtaining money under
false prctenses, and announces his purpose
81 visiting every State and Territory in The
and try to consolidate the ranks o.
the Irish National Revolutionary Society
10 work in harmony for the independence
of Ireland.

Yesterday the "world" published a dis
creditable biographical sketch of Mr.. Pei

first, that his previous history proves hin

ond, that Mr.. Tilden never did nor woulG
real ly appoint him his private Secretary
1t docs not, however, dispute the well
known fact that he was Mr.. Tilden's
agent during his term as Governor
md during the Presidential campaign,
to the newspaper offices and other
places abundant evidence that he came
with authority from his uncle, and enjoyed
his confidence. Neither does it deny Mr..
Pelton's elevation subsequent to the CAM
paign to the Presidency of the New York
Elevated Railroad, to represent his uncle,
who holds heavily Of its stock. 1t is adj
that he (Pelton) is impecunious

not denied, but it will be urged that. in
stead of Mr.. Tilden furnishing the money
it was supplied to Mr.. Pelton by outsiders
who wanted MI. Tilden made President
and that the latter knew nothing about it
That Mr.. Tilden would not trust him with
the funds is to be proved by showing tina
