THE CONSEQUENCES
Of Republican Success This
Fall.

The fsgony is over. New York has
gone for Cornell, and Conkling car.
ries in his vest pocket the vote of the
New York delegation to-the next Re.
publican Presidential Convention
There a be no doubt now, that that
vote viii be cast for Grant; and yet
there are many republicans that de-
test Gi,antism, and recoil from the
rings which plundered the treasury
and disgraced the nation from 1869 to
1877. On that account Grant will be
the weakest nomination that a repub-
lican convention can make /; but nev-
ertheless, as he is acceptable to south
ern radicals, there is every ~probabili-
ty that he will be selected as their
standard bearer. The northern repub-
licans that recoil from Grantism art
quite numerous, but being on the
minority side of their party, they can
exercise no control over its actions.
Th machine will meet and nominate,
and the discontinued will either ac-
cept or reject. That many will bolt
Grants nomination is a foregone con-
clusion, and that they form a power
not to be, despised is equally certain.
They have made themselves felt here
tofore in this country, and they will
hereafter make renewed exhibitions
of their strength. In 1874 a Repub-
lican majority in the House of Repre-
s%entatiyes was swept away and re-
placed by a Democratic one almost
equally large. That change demon
strated the stern resentment of the
people at the outrages of the Admin
istration, and was due in a large meas
ure to the votes of honest and intelli-
gent Republicans; but it did not
mean, as was thought at the time, that
these Republicans had abandoned for
ever either their party or its princi-
pies. 1t was simply designed, as is
now seen, to rebuke in the most en-
phatic manner possible ring rule and
the venality and extravaganza that
were permitted, if not protected and
encouraged by Grant.
In late elections, and especially in
those of this fall, there has been a re-
vival of Republicanlsm. The relative
strength of parties in congress has
been nearly equalized, and all the
Republican states have been re-domi-
mated. The recoiling Republicans
have been aroused by the spectre of a
solid south. They have been recalled
from out of greenback and other isns
to their old standards by shrlll bugle
notes of cid wal tunes, and the music
they must face is the denomination of
Grant by that same solid south; the
exhibition of whose strength they de-
test in their own ranks, quite as much
as in those Of the Democracy.
How often does 1t happen with par
ties as with armies in the midst of
their triumphs, that the cry rings out,
''Sava US! For with one more such
victory, we shall be ruined"

SanctifcatiOn The Evangeli.
cal View of Hit.

AL evangelical bodies teach the
attainment of perfect holiness in this
life. Even the Assembly's catechism
sets forth that 'sThe souls of believ-
ers are at their DEATH which ia in
this life and not in the next, "Made
perfect in holiness" The only dis
pute about sanctifcation is the time
of its attainment by believers. 1t has
been COMPOUNDED, in some instances,
with justification, but that only de-
clares ss righteous. The one imputes
righteousness, the other imparts it.
The law contemplates sin of
thought word or deed. AS long as
the flesh dominates over the spirit
there must be offence. What says
Paul? "For l reckon that the suf-
ferings Of this present time are not
worthy to be compared to the glory
which shall be revealed in us. For
the earnest expectation of the crea-
ture waiteth for the manifestation of
the son Of God. For the creature
was made subject to vanity, not will
lingly but by reason of him who hath
subjected the same in hope" "For
by grace are ye saved through faith
and that not of yourselves (salf-
hood): it is the gift of God"
"Blessed is the man to whom God
does not impute SIM"
Sanctification is inscperable from
justification. Whom God declares to
be. them. he also in due time makes
holy. "For whom he did foreknow,
he also did predestinate to be con-
formed to the image of his Son, that
he might be the first born among
many brethren. Moreover, whom he
did predestinate them he also called
and whom he called, them he also
justified and whom he justified, them
he also glorifed. What shall we
then say to these things? II God be
for US, who can be against us?"
CALVIN.

Although, beyond suggesting avail
able candidates, this years elections
can exercise no important influence
Oh the coming presidential contest,
never before in this country has there
been more Interference with voters.
In Maine, Ohio, Iowa, Massachusetts,
New Jersey and New York, there
have been emlssaries operating on the
public mind, and diverting attention
from important local interests. In
none of them has there been as much
as a congressional candidate, and yet
Sherman, Blaine, Conkling, Chandler,
Schurz, Evarts and MI. Hayes have
been in most of them misdirecting
public sentiment by gatherings, har-
rogues, combinations, exhibitions,
contributions and expenditures. The
hue and cry that has been raised by
these gentlemen was great, consider
ing there was no popular demand for
their presence, and that the tom-toms
were beaten only by government
officials. Defeated, last winter, these
stalwarts had threatened an appeal,
and they have been busy in carrying
their threats into execution.
In Pennsylvania, too, anxiety has
been manifested to exclude State is
sues. After the Ohio election, the
the chairman of the treasury ring
committee exultingly announced that
state issues would have to wait there
also, ''until the war was over" His
chief wish was, that voters should at
tend to Mississippi and South Carroll
ma, before looking into their own IN
terests. He knew that neither the
s%poliatlons of the State treasury, nor
the attempted four million steal I'M
der the Riot Act, nor corporate OPP
pressions, nor freight determinations
enforced in violation of the constitu-
ton and laws of the State, and set
forth in the democratic platform,
could stand public examination /; and
that if anything Of that sort trans
PRED the treasury ring candidate
could not be elected, and that the
present depositaries would be made
to account for the monies held by
them.
Is it not extraordinary that instead
Of repelling these itinerant agitators,
the public has listened to them every
where, and in not a few places been
influenced to cast their votes so as to
countenance fraud Why should
exaggerated statements in regard to a
solid south have such effect upon
northeners !! The whole argument
extracted from its reputed condition
is past comprehension! Suppose it
were true that in quarrels at the south
both whites and blacks were slain is
the north itself free from such calam-
tiles? Suppose that negroes are some
times kept away from the polls and
out of jury boxes is there no bull
in the New England states ?
Are such offenses at home or abroad
good reasons for surrendering states
to be plundered;?
What we ask the right minded TO
consider, is whether the interference
complained Of, is not as detrimental
to state welfare as direct military
intervention could be

well got we'll he resolved to visit New
York, and the day before his departure
Cooper visited him to see If he could
assist him in any way. Treadwel had
packed all his papers and vsluables in
large tin box, and allowed Cooper TO
carry it to Luther & Co.'s bank and de-
posit it there during his absence. II is
believed that either during Cooper's
connection with Treadwell Or during
his visits he fitted a key to this box,
or that he stopped at some locksmith's
and had one fitted to it and then ab-
stracted Treadwell's bank books and a
certificate of silver deposit Of $l8, ,O00.-
Thea he relocked the box and deposited
1t with Luther & Co. This was on May
IL, and Treadwell left for the East the
next day.
Treadwell had on deposit with Lu-
ther $4,000, and with the National
Gold Bank and Trust Company $15, 900.
The former sum Cooper at once began
to transfer to the Trust Company. The
first check was presented to Luther &
Co., May IS, and read, "Pay to ex
change account or bearer $780," and
was signed ]. P. Treadwell. On May
rs, two checks were drawn and collect
ed in the same manner for $500 and
81, 300, July 2, one for $4,000, and
on August %, one for 13,O0O-total
presented, $50, 200. He also deposited
the silver certificate for $4,000 for
collection, and this led to the discovery
of the forgeries. In the meantime,
Treadwell returned to San Francisco,
and in about week after his return
Cooper disappeared and succeeded in
making his way to England.

The Albany "Evening Journal" Of
Sept. 12, says "Uncle Toms Cabin''
was presented in superior style at the
Leland Opera House last evening to a
large audience. The cast of characters
was unusually good, comprising Mrs.
G. c. Howard as "Topsy," which she
personated with all the old-time
force and spirit. She has not as
yet been equalled in the character.
Mr.. Howard, fine actor and the origi-
nal interpreter Of "St. Clair" appeared
in that character, while Mr.. Cool
White gave very beautiful portrait
ure Of "Uncle Tom" "Eva" was ex-
cellently personated by little Carrie
Hall, a child giving evidence of consid-
erable dramatic talent. The remainder
Of the cast was excellent. During the
evening and in the plantation scene, a
quartette of jubilee singers sang num-
ber Of choice melodies in a delightful
manner. The entertainment is one

The appearance of the Division while
marching through town, was very favor

are informed that some Of the members
had not drilled before for some months;

then assembled in the Lodge room to
