the list of votes counted 10y the precinct in
spectors, but thrown out on various pretexts
by the canvassers. TIE first table sh wsamaior-
iy of nearly 900 votes for eneral Chalmers on
which that honest man will claim, and, at the
outset, receive seat in the House of Keep
resentatives. The second shows that votes
were thrown ont as follows: For Chalmers,
716; for Lynch, 4,G42. In other words, II
the result had been announced in accordance
with the vote Mr. Lynch would have had
majority instead of General Chalmers. The
methods used were as amazing as the per
Torrance itself. In one county,, Inc Heraid
saws. Zone ballot-bOx with large number OF
"votes was shot-gunned out (which is prob
ably Mississippan for stolen" The list as
given lacks the returns from one county,
which would have increased Mr.. Lynch's ma
jorty by 700 or 500 votes, and in which
the commissioners threw out every box but
oner! This, the Northern Democratic
reader will please remember, is all Demo
cratic testimony.
1t is pleasant to reflect. amid all the wrongs
and robberes to which the Indians are sub
jccted, and which excite too little attention,
that their condition, so far from being hope
less, is steadily improving. This is the
Judgment of those who have knowledge OF
the facts of the Indian question, and pay less
attention to its rhetoric. 1t is confirmed to
an encouraging degree by the report of the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, which has
lust been completed. This declares the re-
suit of the years work to show steady adj
vancement in the condition of the tribes and
in some instances remarkable progress"
There is a greater demand for agricultural
implements than the Government can supply
within its appropriation. There is keener
interest in the schools, both on the part of
parents and children. One hundred and sew
enty schools, outside of Indian Territory, have
been in operation during the past year.
The reservation Indians are everywhere
asking title to their lands in severalty. There
has been such progress in agriculture that
the Indian Commissioner believes the day is
coming when 4he tribes will be self-suppOrt-
ing. Outside of the Indian Territory 10000
acres of land were kept under cultivation by
Indians during the year. and one and a half
millions of bushels of grain and vegetables
were raised; within the Indian Territory
three and a half millions of bushels-Or, in all.
the same amount that the State of Delaware,
for example, with just half the number OF
souls, raised ten years ago. The great need
of the Indians is education whether on the
farm or in the SCHOOL, house. They should have
it. 1t will be cheaper-to say nothing of its
being more civilized-to teach them than to
eh ont them.

years the ring of rifles and the shrek OF shells
are still heard, whenever the party that
declared the war failure attempts
once more to strike down The men who
suffered at Andersonville and Libby, and to
exalt the men who made them suffer Twelve
years have not brought forgetlulness on the
massacres and assassinatons by which loyal
Governments were Overthrown by the Whlte
Leagues. Neither will twenty years more
make public creditors and deposltors IN saw
ings banks forget what'party II was that pro-
posed to repudiate solemn pledges OF public
faith what party it was that attempted IN
flation and resisted resumption; or what party
it was that sought to destroy the National
banking system. These things, too,
are going to be remembered as long
as Democratic party seeks to
recover power Nor will the past four
wears of Democratic fraud, bribery, cipher
dispatches, false counting. tissue ballots State
stealing, SANDER forgery and perjury ever be
forgotten. so long as the party which has now
made itself infamous by its use of dishonest
methods still strives for honor and power.
The thing for sensible Democrats to do is TO
disband their party as soon rs possible. The
sooner it becomes certain that the dlshonored
and 0dious thing can never appear in another
national contest, the more time there will be
for the organization of aloyal and decent OPP
position party before the next election. There
are questions upon which the large proportion
of Democratic voters honestly differ from the
majority of Republican voters. But no such
question can ever get considered upon its mer-
its while that public nuisance known as the
Democratic party remains in existence.

Choice Extracts.

We publish, for the benefit of our re-
publican friends, few choice extracts
concerning their candidate on the tail
end of the ticket, from President Hayes
and Secretary John Sherman. These
were sent to Arthur at the time of his
removal from the New York Custom
House, in January, 1879. They speak
for themselves, and are almighty inter-
esting reading" at this time:
You have made the Custom House a
center of partisan political manage
ment.-R- B. Hayes to Collector Arthur,
January 81, 1879.
Gross abuses of administration have
continued and increased during your
incumbency.-John Sherman to Collec-
tor Arthur, January 81, 1879.
With deep sense of my obligations
under the constitution, regard it as
my plain duty to suspend you in order
that the Office may be honestly admins
tered.-R. B. Hayes to Collector Ar
thur, January 81, 1879.
Persons have been regularly paid by
you who have rendered little or no SER
vice; the expenses of your office have
increased, while its receipts have di-
minished. Brides, or gratuities in the
shape of brides, have been received by
your subordinates in several branches
of the Custom House, and you have in
no case supported the effort to correct
these Enthusiastically Sherman to
Collector Arthur, January 81, 1879.

Bracing Words.

Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks was cleo
ted president of the Indiana Democratic
Convention last week and made STIR
ring speech on taking the chair. We
give the following extract;
know that victory will sit upon our
banner. [Applause.l They nominated
a candidate at Chicago yesterday; /
should say ticket, for it wouldn't be
right to omit the last of that ticket. /
take it that ticket represents fairly the
average strength of the republican par
ty. In every respect l think it so, and
you and L, brother democrats, don't lean
upon the weakness of the ticket nomi-
mated yesterday. We lean upon the
strength of the indomitable democracy.
Applause. Some sad things took
place at Chicago. Laughter know
you think am referring to the many
truths they told upon one another.
That was not it. Yesterday the repub-
lican party laid away forever the grim
visaged warrior and plumed Knight to-
gether. To-day they lie in the obscur-
ity of defeat. The republican party
have said to the nations of the world
that did Gen. Grant uncommon honor,
that he is no longer worthy of sitting al
the head OF national aualrS; ana IL was
no uncommon thing when that state
ment was made to mankind that Gen
Grant was no longer worthy of support
in the National Republican convention
have heard democrats for the last two
or three weeks Inquiring who is the
weakest man at Chicago? l care moi
for that; repeat it, l care not for that
The last election, when Tilden and Hen
bricks were elected protracted APP
plausel, there was a majority on the
democratic side of the white voters OF
the United States of 100000 of men
and of the whites and blacks together
there was a majority of more than l, 250,-
900. Nov, when we meet in Cincinnati
to respond to Chicago, we meet with the
assurance upon our side that we have
this strength, this power, this sentiment
of the American people upon our side
l take it for granted that the great con-
vention on the 22d of this month, rep
resenting the democracy of this nation
will so organize our party that success
shall continue with the contest in No
vember.

Garfield Portrayed.
Courier-JournaI.

courier journal.
Mr. Garfield is scholar. Against ad.
verse circumstances he made fight for
education and position. He has been
courageous in this respect. He worked
his way through college, and he has bat
tied successfully with fortune ever since.
He has won something by intellectual
strength, more by pliancy and certain
yielding to party demands whenever he
has expressed an aspiration after some
thing better than his party wanted to
give. The courage with which he gained
his first advance in the world as gradu-
ate OF Williams College, was the last ex-
hibition he ever gave of that quality.
Since then he has been the coward OF
politics. As the Washington Post ex-
presses it, he has the 'vOice OF lion
and the heart of a sheep" He lacks
character. He is of that soft, fiabby
nature which spreads over men like a
poultice and draws the weak and wick
ed to him. He is a great package of
fluffy wool which gathers to itself all
the Impurities that are floating about
in the air.
Way down at the bottom he Is a bad
man. He was enc of the most cunning
of the republican visiting statesmen at
New Orleans. The local rascals found
a more useful ally in Garfield than in
all the others com bined. He was as
cunning as they, and as constituencies.
If the true history of the days when
the Louisiana conspiracy against the
government was pei feeted should be
written, it will be found that James a.
Garfield is as responsible as any one of
the Returning Board scoundrels for the
disfranchisement of 10000 citizens of
that state. 1t was easy for him, after
the work in which he engaged in New
Orleans, to take part in the electoral
commission, which completed the fraud.
The country knows of the disclosure
of MS participation in the Credit Mobil-
Ter scandal. 1t knows, too, OF his persist
ent efforts during the present session OF
as a member of the Wavs aud !
Means Committee, to stifle the tariff leg
islation. He has acted as one of the |
agents of the protected monOpolies of
the country. He has been the constant |
adviser of the Two pulp men who came
10 Congress to prevent the paper trade |
from having free pulp and lower paper.
He is not adverse to lobbyists.
This is the kind of man the Rspubli-
cans present TO tbs people as their can
iidate for the Presidency. II the peo-
pie accept him is viii be because they
have become so debauehed that they no
onger admire character, and because
hey care nothing for personal integri-
y and purity.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-06-17

Now that the democratic press
has exhausted its adjectives in compli-
menting Mr.. Garfield as a man, it is in
order to review his very vulnerable re-
cord as a public servant. His connec-
ton with the famous Credit-Mobilier
scandal is a matter of history. He was
up to his eye-lids in that miserable
mess, and was therecipient of some OF
the stock, but he attempted to extricate
himself by saying that he obtained it
from Cakes Ames as a loan. The trou-
BILE about the matter was that Mr.. Ames
denied this statement and insisted that
Mr.. Garfield took the stock like the rest,
not as loan, but as a gift to be hand
somely acknowledged in the way of
legislation. Mr.. Garfield never denied,
we believe, that he received S., 900 from
Boss Shepherds gang for giving the De
Golyer pavement contracts a friendly
lift in the House. He claimed, though,
that he received the money as a fee for
legal services rendered. This was the
best story he could invent at the time,
but as everybody knew that a member
of congress had no moral or legal right
to practice law before that body, much
less to accept pecuniary compensation
for the same, and as Garfield was as well
aware of this fact as any human being
in the United States, his fimsy defense
struck the public as a confession of
guilt. The fact is, he is not a whit bet
ter than the Belknaps, the Robesons
and the Shepherds of his party.

Political Notes.

The New York Herald does not re-
gard Gen. Garfield as strong candi-
date. 1t says that his selection as the
| republican standard-bearer has no ten
dency to strengthen the republican
party in New York.
Mrs. Grant takes her husbands defeat
quite philosophically. She says that
she felt somewhat disappointed, but af-
ter all it has saved him six months
abuse and four years hard labor, and
that, therefore, it was undoubtedly for
the best.
The Chicago Times has a second arti-
Gle on the nomination of Gen. Arthur
as the republican candidate for the Vice
Presidency. Read the following para
graph "Never before in the history of
American politics was the second place
on a national ticket employed to in
crease party animosities, instead of
soothing them never before was Vice
President named by a shrewd, alert and
audaciOus minority in spite of a victo-
rious and lar from magnanimOus ma
jority; and never before did minority,
splendidly generated, compel a bewil-
dered majority, in the zenith of great
victory, to accept, for associate nomi-
nee, the man of all men whom the ma
jority would never have consented to
nominate for any Office, could the pro-
posal of the name have been anticipated
or adequate deliberation been obtained
for its consideration after proposal.
When the majority of the convention
and their adherents realize that they
have put in their platform a civil ser
vice plank, and that they have put upon
their ticket for Vice President that
most distinguished obstacle to ciyil-ser-
vice reform when they discover that in
their platform they applaud President
Hayes and on their ticket have the col
lector whom he dismissed from the New
York custom house; when they recall
that it was John Sherman's vote that
made lanes A. Garfield the nominee
for President, and that his colleague is
the eX-Official whom John Sherman de-
clared, as secretary of the United States
treasury, should be expelled from the
civil service; their emotions no ordinary
language will be able to depict"

Would You III ave Rosy Cheeks?

Experience of young woman: A
country girl, young, pretty and happy,
her step was elastic and the roses of
health bloomed upon her cheek. One
April morn she was overtaken by a
"spring shower" and caught n cold.
it was her Hparticular time," and
suppression was the result. At the
next "period" nature refused to act.
She became sallow, swollen, and suf-
fered intensely with pain in the back
and slower stomach" palpitations, diff
ficulty of breathing, indigestion and
headache. Doctors failed to pslliate
her distressed condition, and she longed
for death as the only hope of relief. At
the instance of a friend, who herself
experienced its benefits, she was induced
to try DIR. J. Bradfield's Female Regu-
lator. One bottle cured her. She was
again the happy girl she was that
April morning before the shower. The
Female Regulator is prepared by DR.

Before the next issue of the CITIZEN
reaches its five thousand readers, the
National Democratic Convention will
have assem- bled and made nomination,
for we do not apprehend a protracted
session of that body. We believe when
the delegates assemble, they will not be
long in discovering the man of all 9TH
ers to lead the party to victory in No
vember. New York will be the great
battle-ground of the campaign and
there the leader is to be found. He is in
calm retirement, it is true, but within
easy reach of his hand is a baton of au-
thority which the great body of voters
in that stats have never failed to respect.
We refer to Horatio Seymour, that in
comparable statesman, who, along with
one Other-the stately Thurman-is the
best living type of the august characters
whose virtues first shed lustre on the
annals of the republic. Where do we
find in all the shifting scenes of Ameri-
can politics more majestic figure than
his? During long and busy life, con-
secrated to many public trusts, invaria-
bly, unsought, the breath of scandal
and the shafts of calumny never reached
him. Absolutely incorruptible and vir-
tuous, he weathered the storms of parti-
Eau strife and emerged into a calm re-
tirement beyond with clearly garments
and unsoiled hands. If the Democratic
party wishes to convince the honest peo-
pie of the countryside thinking, con-
patriotic class-that it in
tends to administer the govel nment af-
ter the open-faced methods of the ia
Tiers, Horatio Seymour is the man
whose life affords the best guarantee
hat the work will be well done. Place
him at the head of the ticket and we |
nave perfect assurance ofvictory. His |
'ceptre will sway New York and his vir-
ues will command the respect of every |
honest voter in the country.
