"lF the Worst Comes TO The Worst.

rralrlc dn ChicnITnion; The dem
ocratic candidate for president has
followed the example of the great
reform candidate of 1876, and an
nounccd that he will not approve
bills, should such pass congress,
and he be elected PRESIDENT which
provide for the payment of money
to persons who were in the rebel
army, for loss of property during
the rebellion. This is all very well,
and the people of the north will
welcome the uttcrance and hope for
its fulltillmcnt in case that worst
comes to worst in the approaching
electisn.
eff the worst which the
Union apprehcnds is the cleo
ton Of Hancock and English, the
worst will come to the worst with
out doubt.

DON'T QUITE SUIT US.
News from tuesdays Elections.
OHIO GIVES IT'S USUAL RE
PUBLICAN MAJORITY.
And Indiana is Claimed for Judge
Porter.

The latest news from Tuesdays
elections comes from Republican
sources, and is encouraging TO that
party. The indications are that the
Republican State ticket is elected
in Ohio, by from 5000 to 10000
majority, and that the Republican
candidate for Governor in Indiana
is elected by small majority.
This result il n disappointment to
DEMOCRATS. They had hoped to
carry Indiana. and thereby decide
the presidential contest in advance.
But if the reports received prove
correct, the heretofore dropping
spirits of the Republicans will be
revived, and they will be cncour-
aged to continue the fight up to
November %, and New York will
have to decide it.

Southern Claims.
Darlington Democrat.

This term has been used Of late and
means, rs used in politics, claims
growing out oftlc war IN the South
Already constitutional amend.
ment has been adopted preventing
the payment Of any claims to those
who were disloyal during the war
But, say our radical friends, the
rebels now MI claim that they were
loyal, and the constitutional amend.
ment il n dead letter The action
Of the republican congress during
its last few years seem to sustain
this position.
Millions Of claims were allowed
by the last republican Congress;
but, since the democrats have been
in majority in the house, few, in
decd, Of these claims havcd passed,
and in every instance, when passed,
it has been by the republican vote
added TO the South, the large ma
jority of the democrats always yot-
ing solid against all claims of the
kind. Here are the figures to prove
this statements;
There were allowed during tho
i3d Cangress (rcpublicanD some
81, 100000 Of these claims; over s.
100000 were reported favorably,
but S2,000,Oo0 were defeated
through the efforts ofnorthcrn dem
ocmts. Tho Nth House (dcm,)
passed only $4,000 Of these claims,
secured by the votes of northern
republicans. Tho 10Th House of
Representatives (dcmoeruticl allow
ed one OF these claims for $4,000
only, and it was fought by every
| democract from this state, and pass
ed by republican votes; Still, in face
of these facts, tho radical party
leaders keep up the cry.
The war has been ended now six
teen years, and no ono will believe
that all just claims have not been
presented. Legal claims can be, and
are paid 10y the departments. Now,
to end this question of Southern
Claims forever, M amendment to
the constitution was presented III
the House of Representatives, June
10th, 1873, rs follows;
Article. No claim SHALL hereafter
he paid by the United States rs dam
ages OF otherwise FOR any property
real or personal. taken, used, injured
or destroyed III any state or territory
OF the L. :. 10y United States troops
or by order Of any officer, civil or
military. acting under the authority
thereof, during the late war. Tor the
maintenance OF the Union.
This seems broad enough, and Of
course, ono would suppose the re-
publican congressman would all
support ii. On the contrary, the
Record Of June 2lst, page s, gives
the vote for this amendment. We
find Wisconsin voting as follows;
For the amendment
Messrs Bouck, Bragg and Lyndei
all democrats, and the only dem
ocrats from the state.
Against the amendment we find
Messrs. Hazlcton, Williams aud
Humphrey, all republicans
Mr.. Pound, (rep. )announcod that
he was paired but, if not, he
would vote No.

TO the Editor.

will, through the columns Of your
Independent journal, answer the fol
lowing questions; 1. Were Generals
Longstreet and Hancock both ed

tie of Gettysburg lfso, which of
them commanded on the union,
and which ON the rebel side ?

|. Both ,. 1t seems odd. even
absurd, that such n question should
be asked, but, upon reflection, u
discerning mind will discover that
there is much in tho attitude Of the
party which claims all the loyalty
of the country to confuse ones rec
objection of history. Iongstreet
and Hancock were opposed at Gettys
burg, and, happily, the latter, rep
resenting the union, was the victor
in that decisive battle. But what
is the reward Of each? l.ongstreet
is sent by Hayes rs minister to Tur-
key. Hancock is stigmatized as =
traitor and wantonly abused. 80

Let the "BIOody ShIrt'' Alone.

The impartial observer of the pres
idential canvass must come to n conclu
sion that the country is steadily tend
ing towards healthier state Of things
than has existed at any previous period
since the close Of the civil war. The
old sectional alignment of parties is be-
ginning to Disappear healthy sign.
The Republicans entertain hopes of car
rying Virginia for Garfield and Arthur
and the tone of the stalwart journals is
consequently becoming more and more
moderate. In truth, the Republican
leaders are beginning to understand
that the country is heartily tired of the
sectionalism which has so.long dwarfed
the intellects and perverted the efforts
of American public men. 1t is quite
plain that while we have been fiercely
wrangling at home, the national flag
has justly fallen into contempt abroad
Great questions of domestic policy are
denied consideration because both the
great parties would be hopelessly di-
vided thereby. Many Republicans
impudently assume that their party is
alone fit to be entrusted with the gov
ernmcnt. To say that it is dangerous
to allow majority of the people tc
rule the country is n pestilent heresy.
The Democrats have nominated a man
against whom the bitterest partisans
can say nothing that is not plainly
false. Achange of administration NJ
this time would be most fortunate.
The Republicans, driven into opposition
would be forced to choose new ground
for future battles Both parties would
then feel the weight of their response
: bility. The questions appertaining tt
the tariff and importation of the Chi
neese must come up for discussion al
: no distant. There will then be grand
realignment of parties. Thery is every
reason to believe that the last purely
sectional campaign has been fought
If the Republicans attempt to revive
the old issues they will make a sac
mistake. They should let the 'bloody
shirt" alone. 1t has ceased to be al
, inspiring standard

Mr.. EDTTOR:-CrOps are looking
well and growing fast. The grass Is
getting along pretty lively too. 1 am
afraid some of our farmers will get in
the grass if it rains much more.
Many of us are almost done laying by.
Our corn will make pretty fair crop.
One of our farmers has some corn
that he expects to make 10 barrels to
the acre. Our cotton is growing very
fast and has more blooms than has
been known i'll many a ear. Apples
and Peaches are abundant. The
wheat in this section did not turn out
very well. One man thought he
would make 120 bushels and when
threshcd out it was only 80. Mr..
Editor two very gallant young men OF
your town came down here last sun
day to see some Of our girls. Two or
three more trips will be sufficient to
carry away one of the daisies of this

excitement here about the Election.
