The Cintinnati Gazette publishs
es evidence from the war depart
ment, and the testimony of individ-
uals going to show that VIM. Il.
English, the democratic candidate
for vice president, swindled his
grandmother,s heirs out of $3,964.>
A, being the amount of pension
granted her as the widow of his
grandfather, who was a lieutenant
in the revolutionary war. The
overwhelming evidence of his ras,
cality is furnished by Hon. W. L.
Marcy, secretary of war; Isaac
Tousey, attorney general, and Hon.
j. L. Edwards, then commissioner
of pensions. English was a clerk
in the treasury department. at the
time. He fraudulently took out
administration papers upon which
he drew the pension money due
the heirs of his grandmother. Afa
forwards he refused to pay it over,
| and to this day has. not done so.

DEATH-BED conversions are only
some times genuine. The story of
two men who had been life>long
enemies is familiar. One of them
became seriously ILL.,. and thought
he was going to die. He thought
it would not be exactly the thing
for him to go into the other world
filed with hatred of his neighbor,
and sent for him to SNAKE it up"
The other came, and they two TALK
ed over their differences and agreed
to be friends. Thinking the matter
all settled the well man got up to
take leave of his former enemy,
when the sick man remarked:
"Now, John Smith, if I die, we are
good friends, but should | recover,
remember matters are just as they
have BEEN"
It is doubtless so with the south
ern governors, who have informed
the New York World that they are
opposed to the payment Of southern
claims. The democratic party ii
very sick now, but if HancOcl
should be successful, and the demo-
Gratis of the south should take
hold of the reins of government
as they would, they might change
their minds on the subject Of the
claims. What they have said is al
right, if the party-is defeated, bu
if it RECEIVERS, then matters will re-
main just as they were, and these
promises may very conveniently b.
forgotten.

nunciations, he is as popular with
the people as he ever was, and what
ever he states in regard to zen.
Hancock or any other man will be
accepted as true. The fact is, the
democratic party has gone into
business with fictitious capital, and
Gen. Grant has exposed the worth
lessness of their capital. 1t is
perfectly natural that they should
abuse him. He expected it, as .
matter of course, and is not sur
prised.

He is fine specimen of democratic
honesty. Next time they start
with their pot of backing and
brush to make democratic argu>
ments, when honest people are
asleep, we advise them to write in
large letters, "$3, 964.44," which
will represent the amount, out of
which their candidate for vice pres
ident swindled his dead grandmoth-

THE democrats have made some
very mean charges against General
Garfield, but we have never heard
him accused of swindling his dead
grandmother.

Campaign Chowder.

1t is astonishing with what rapidity
Hancock campaign clubs are spring.
ing up all over the country. Demo-
Gratis are enthusiastic and repu blicans
are correspOndingly depressed.
1t having been charged that Judge
Jeremiah ). Black wrote Hancock's IA
NOUS orders while military governor of
Louisiana and Texas, the Judge, who is
now in Europe, has telegraphed that he
is not their author and knew nothing
of them until they were printed. Next!
Ex-Gov. Hubbard, of Connecticut,
has this TO say of the democratic ticket ::
at represents no soreheads, no factions,
no faction the head is not boiled crow
for the tail, nor the tail boiled crow for
the head, and no machine politics is at
the end.p
Eppa Hunton, of Virginia, has no
doubt the regular democrats will carry
Virginia whether the Malone ticket re-
mains in the field or not. The two
wings of the democracy in that state
might equally divide the votes OF the
party and then the republican party
would be far behind. Tilden's majority
in 1876 was seventy-five thousand
more than double the entire vote for
Hayes.
Gen. Garfield is a member of the Dis
ciples' (Campbellite) church; General
Hancock is an EpiscOpalian, and Gen.
Weaver, of Iowa, the greenback candi-
date, is Methodist. The last fact we
have just learned from an exchange.
1t did seem little strange that no
Methodist should be running for the
CHIEF Msgistracy. We do not, how
ever, expect to witness the Inaugural
ton of Gen. Weaver-at least, not this
time-The Methodist.
The democracy of Cincinnati held a
most enthusiastic Hancock ratification
meeting on Saturday night. Between
1000 and 5000 people were present, all
of whom seemed to take the strongest
interest in the proceedings. Hon. VIM.
ID. Groesbeck presided and also made a
brief address. Speeches were made by
Senator Pendleton, General Durbin
Ward, Sam Carey, the late greenback
leader, Gen. S. +. Hunt and others. In
the speeches handsome illusions were
made to Gen. Hancock's career, and
great stress was laid upon his record as
a statesman when military governor of
the south. The burden of all the
speeches, however, was the great fact
that the acceptance by the north of this
peace Offering from the south would do
away with all sectionalism. All the
speakers agreed that the united demOc-
racy would be sure to carry the cleo
ton

Cotton, Corn and Wheat.

WASHINGTON, July l5.--The Depart
ment of Agriculture reports the condi-
ton of cotton, corn and wheat as fol-
lows:
Cotton-The condition is reported at
an average of 100, the highest reported
in July for several years. There are
some complaints of drouth in North
and South Carolina and too much rain
in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.
The injuries are not reported to any
extent.
Corn-The increase in area planted in
corn is over one per cent. over that
planted last year. The average condi-
Uion of the crop for the whole country,
the highest for many years, is 100, be-
ing seven per cent. more than last year
at the same time. There are some COM
plants of drouth in the South Atlantic
states, while in the valley of the Missis-
sippi and those states north of the Ohio
River there is complaint of too much
rain. The Pacific states report very
high condition.
Wheat-The general average of win
ter wheat, July l, was 80 against 81 a
year ago. 1t improved slightly during
June. The whole south falls. off nearly
One-fourth, but the heavy winter wheat
region on the north of the Ohio river
rules as high as ninety-eight. The
middle states are three per cent. above
the average, and the Pacific four per
cent. West of the Mississippi the crop
averages eighty-four against eighty
nine last yesr. The spring wheat aver
ages ninety the same as July, 1879.
This shows great decline from June,
when the average was ninety-seven.
The New England states average nine
ty-nine; the middle states, ninety-three.
North OF the OHIO the average is ninety
six; west OF the Mississippi the general
average Is ninety, Minnesota being 10l,
while Nebraska tails TO sixty-two. Iowa
stands ninety-one. On the Pacific coast
California reports ninety-six.

We clip from the Banner the following as
showing the condition of the Nashville mar
ket.
There is rather more than the usual sum
mer activity in groceries, provisions, iron,
and in fact nearly all branches of trade.
The corn and other cereal crops promise
we'll and cotton continues to progress finely
AL Of thu indications are in favor of gold
crops, which ppesn9 an enlarged autumn
trade, demand for all IN Manufactured articles
and full employment for labor. We have
the abundance OF money in the country, and
it seems now not improbable that Europe
will have TO send us some gold next autumn
to purchase our food supplies and cotton,
although such q movement if it occurs will
probably be small in comparison with lAst
year. Butin any event there is not likely
TO be any scarcity Of imoney Tor ths wants of
trade, and il is scarcely probable that the
Presidential canvass will restrict business
this year as it would do If there was likely
to be a radio al change in the finances OF the
government in the event of change in the
ascenden-y OF political parties, so that with
all the facilities for doing business, plenty
of food supplies aud other commodities and
consumers able to buy and pay for them.
Generally speaking there has been fair
volume of business in our merchandise mar
kets dnring the week, The receipts of new
wheat have largely increased. Corn has
ruled firm sld in good demand Provisions

Extracts from His Orders that
Show What Kind of a
Man He Is.

"The true and proper use of the mill
tary powers, besides defending the ma
toms honor against foreign nations, is
to uphold the laws and civil govern
ment and to secure to every person re-
siding among us the enjoyment of life,
liberty and property"
"The right of trial by Jury, the ha-
beas corpus, the liberty OF the press, the
freedom OF speech, the natural rights of
person and property must be pre-
served
Power may destroy the forms but not
the principles of justice. These will
live in spite even OF the sword"
"The great principles of American
liberty still are the lawful inheritance
of this people and ever should be-"

sistance to law, will be instantly re-
pressed by arms"

Resd what Col. Forney says to his
quOndan friends of the republican par
ty: "YOu will not trust Hancock with
the presidency of the United States be-
cause he is a democrat; and yet but for
him and such as him the whole nation
would have persisted. Besides, dear
friends, we must be careful about this
crusade on the democrats. The true
statesmen regard them as an important
factor in our population. and when we
attempt to make democracy a sin we
not only forget that democrats fought
in the war for the union with signal
courage, but that without the aid of the
democrats the republican party would
to-day be shriveled into the dry dimen-
>iOns of the skeleton of Know Nothing
ISM"
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-07-22

Taken altogether, Mr.. Garfield's letter
of acceptance is just such a paper as Il
candidate is expected by his party 20
write after reading the platform of the
convention that nominated him. There
is nothing in it to offend those who
want to vote for him, and a very great
care not to say anything, if possible, to
offend those who may not want - vote
for him, and in this respect it very
much resembles the platform on which
IL i based. If this letter is an illustra-
ton OF the claim set up for him, that
his forte is craftsmanship, he has signal
ly failed TO show it. With all his boast
ed experience in public life, he fails to
suggest any remedy for the Chinese
difficulty he offers nothing to the south
but the terrors Of the strong arm of the
central government his views upon
the tariff may be Interpreted to mean
either high, low,Or medium, AS each indi-
vIdual reader may wish it to be and his
comments on the financial condition OF
the country are mere platitudes that we
have heard a thousand times. There
are in it no thoughts, no suggestions,
no definite policy upon any subject that
will serve as rallying point for his
party. 1t will be read and forgotten
before the canvass has fairly begun, and
will scarcely be commented upon, eX-
cept to expose some of its inconsist-
encies i'm regard to his own record.
