A Temperance Testimonial to Mrs.
President HaYes.


The Temperance people Of the
country, irrespective Of party sect
or organization, are uniting in a
testimonial to Mrs. President Hayes,
for the noble stand she has taken
for total abstinence, while hostess Of
the White House.
1t has been decided to give this
testimonial a two-foId form. First,
that a ife-sized portrait Of Mrs.
Hayes be painted for the White
House, by one Of our best artists,
suitable aeeessories and Inscriptions
I giving this picture the significance
required perpetual reminder of
what WomaBly tact and fidelity to
principle can do, when united to
lofty station and far-reaching oppor-
tunity. This picture will be en-
graved and sent to. every person con
tributing five dollars to the testi-
moniaI.
Second, it is expected that the
subscriptions viii attain such pro
portions that after the cost Of this
picture is paid, enough viii remain
to serve as the nucleus of a much
needed Fund, to be named in honor
Of Mrs. Hayes, the interest on which
viii be Usedin procuring and circu-
lating total abstinence literature.
Ten thousand dollars should be the
least amount at which we aim. Our
enterprising business men and
wealthy women VIII, doubtless, sub
scribe large amounts, but to make
this a movement 'Of the people, for
the people" " any small sums viii be
received. All amounts of a dollar
or more viii be acknowledged in Our
Union and other leading Temperance
papers.
The intention of the movement Is
three-fOld to show honor to one to
whom honor is due; to perpetuate
the influence Of a good example; and
to bring the great theme Of total
abstinence, based on science, expert
enee and the Bible, freshly and Wv
idly before the public. May we not
hope that the North and South,
Catholic and Protestant, native and
foreign born, may meet upon this
broad platform, that "all mems veal
may be each mans eare2'

Christ said of the woman who
poured on his head ointment of
spikenard, very precious, 'FWheresO-
ever this gospel shall be preached in
the whole world, this also that she

memorial Of her" Our beloved lady
of the White House, with the quiet,
yet wonderfully potent words, NO
wine at State dinners, p induced by
the heroic faith which has uniformly
said, 81 must do what is right-God
will take care of the rest, has bro
ken an alabaster box Of ointment Of
so rare a fragrance, that the women
Of America ''in Christ's stead, plead
that "this also that she hath done be
spoken of for a memorial Of her.
A testimonial, embodying this un-
spoken desire of multitudes, has
been planned and brought to the
Temperance people Of the land for
approval And shall not the women

We have received from A. S.
Barnes & Co., publishers, New York,
a copy Ofthe above work, which is
pronounced by good judges the best
life Of Gen. Garfield that has yet ap-
peared. The author is Mai. 7. NJ.
Bundy, editor Of N. Y. Evening Mail,
who has been a warm and intimate
personal friend of Garfield for many
years, and has enjoyed every facility
for producing an accurate and truth
ful biography Of his distinguished
subject. Major Bundy's experience
and ability as a journalist have en-
abled him to use his abundant ma
terials to the best advantage, and to
produce not only a reliable, but
deeply interesting volume. The Al
bany Evening Journal says oft:
"He not only gives a great deal OF
interesting matter connected with the
personal, social and public life of the
General, but the record of each pc
Rod is interspersed with correspon-
dence which ELIMINATES every prom
inent fact brought out in the biogra-
ply. From the beginning of his ca
reer, the General appears as a grand
type Of American citizenship. His
private life is as faultless as his pub
lie life is distinguished for its broad
craftsmanship.
''NO other biography of General
Garfield is so full Of personal Incl
dents connected with his childhood,
boyhood and early manhood, and no
where else can we find so compactly
placed the salient facts connected
with his public career. His opinions
and views on currency, the tariff, the
powers Of government reconsuuc-
ton, and every therhving issue, are
given in his own language, and no
.One-can read what he has said with
out admiring his frankuess and ap-
proving his principles ...
"The work is so full and Compre-
hensive, and is so well arranged, that
it may be accepted as a perfect text
book for the campaign. No one, it
seems to US, who can admire pluck,
purity, personal integrity and the
highest craftsmanship, can read it
without awarding to its subject his
admiration and his vote. Major
Bundy had a grand theme, and he
has handled it with mastery effect.
The "Life" is illustrated with a
fine steel portrait, a picture of Gar
fields birthplace and residence, and
several other spirited engravings.

cloth, sI.oo with gilt edges, S1.5O d;

John Peter Leedom.

The Adams County New Era, pub
lished at Leedom's home, in West
Union, draws this not very Hattering
picture Of the Democratic candidate
for Congress in this district:
John Peter Leedom, if elected to
Congress, will go there without the
faintest perception of the conflicts
which concern the people. He is
neither old enough nor learned
enough to formulate an opinion on
the question of States Rights, and
though the representative of an Ohio
district, "a majority Of whom are de-
cidedly against these heresies), he
will dangle at the coat-taiI of Confed-
crates like Wade Hampton and
Blackburn, Of Kentucky, and his sue
cess will encourage and strengthen
the Solid South in all its arrogant and
unpatriohc pretensiOns.

BUSINESS MEN
ALARMED AT THE DANGER
OF DEMOCRATIC sue
CESS,
AND WORKING FOR THE RE
PUBLICAN PARTY.

The Chillicothe Gazette says The
Maine election is having the effect
Of arOusing the business men. Every
where they recognize that it would
be death to the prosperous times if
the Democracy succeed. The mere
report that the Fusionists carried
Maine knocked stocks two and a
half per cent, and destroyed conf
dence till there were no purchasers
at that price. The business men Of
the country know what that means,
and that business is bound to follow
stocks, and they are moving to save
their business from the inevitable
shock. In Columbus last week over
two hundred of the leading business
men Of the city, representing every
branch of manufactures and trade,
met to consider the situation. T.
Ewing Miller presided, and they re-
solved to go to work for Garfield, as
the best means to keep their business
prosperous, and have mapped out
their programme.

An Old Political Fraud.

A resident of South Carolina, who
knows Wade Hampton personally
and has been a close observer Of his
political career, describes him as the
greatest political fraud and the most
successful political hypocrite of the
age. He alleges that Hampton has
hoodwinked the patriotic North with
fair speeches and the Republicans in
South Carolina with false promises,
while he has been the very head and
front of all the political OutTages and
wrOng-doings that have been com
mitted in the State Burlington
Hawkeye.

When Garfield was President Of
Hiram College, he presided one day
over a college exhibition in a large
tent. Among the large audience
there were some rough fellows who
proceeded to cut the guy ropes.
Garfield was summoned and remon-
strated. They defed him. An old
student says he never shall forget
what followed. The president paused
a moment and then approached two
Of the rufhans, who were six-footers,
seized them by their collars and fair
ly lifted and dragged them from the
grounds, when the rest took to their
heels in dismay. The president then
retired to the tent as composedly as
if nothing had happened, but amid
the cheers and laughter of his Pu-
pills.

COMPARATIVE TABLE

From the foregoing it will be
seen that in 1870, when the colored
man in the South had some degree
of protection from the National Gov
ernment, eighty-three per cent. of
the colored voters in those States
went to the ballot-boxe and voted
for Representatives in Congress. In
1872 eighty-six per cent. of their
number voted for President, but
from that time down to the present,
as the Confederate brigadiers, by
most infamous practices, intimida-
ton and political murder, usurped
control of State governments one by
one, as the arm of the National gov
ernment, with shameful cowardiee,
was withdrawn from the protection
Of Southern Republicans, and over
a million colored voters in the
Southern States left to the mer-
cy of 100000 men, late their mas
t9rs and traitors to the government
men whose hearts were filed with
hate for a Northern man, and with
determination to wreak vengeance
upon the defenseless heads of their
former slaves-the Republican voters
of the solid South, step by step,
have been ostracised and disfran-
chised, until, in 1878, in the election
for Congressman, only twenty-one
per cent. of the colored voters of the
ten Southern States dared exercise
their sacred privilege of suffrage,
and in the same year at the elections
for Governor in these States only
eight ont Of every hundred colored
voters dared cast their votes for Re
publican candidates.

PAYING FOR COTTON AND SLAVES.
WHEN THE DEMOCRATS GET
IN, THE SOUTHERN BOYS
WILL BE RICH.
To the Editor Of TIE Cincinnati Ga

To the Editor Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette:
SPENCER Co., IND, Sept. IS
Here is an extract from a letter
written by my brother, who lives in
Mississippi, to my mother. He
says; 81 have eighteen acres of as
fine cotton as grows in the county,
but I am afraid I will not get to
save it on account of those Republi-
can papers you sent me. You know
I told you before not to send me
any Republican papers, as I am look
ed on with suspicion as a Northern
Radical, I have to be a Democrat,
or I could not live here. Tell broth
er, if there is any of our old com
pany boys who vote the Democratic
ticket, to go to them and tell them
how it is with me, and urge them,
for the sake of their family and their
country they fought for, for four
years, to vote the Republican ticket
and not undo with the ballot what
they did with the musket. It is the
general talk here that if the Demo
Gratis getin powerthey will paid for
their negroes, cotton, horses, cattle
and rails that were taken or destroy
ed during the war. One of my
neighbors who was broke up dur
ing thewar, boughtsfarm of 14Oacres
last week on credit, and is not to
pay for his farm till he gets pay for
his cotton and slaves that were set
free by the government. I would
like to live here if this was a free
country, but a Republican must
pass himself off for Democrat or
keep his mouth shut Do not write
to me as if I was a Republican, for
the letter might be opened and read
before I should get it.

THE SOLID SOUTH.
HOW IT WAS MADE SOLID.
A FEW FACTS AND FIGURES.

Why is it that in the States Of
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and
Virginia, 1,1O5,353 white voters in
1878, OF only 81 per cent. of the to-
tai voters in, those States, are repre-
sented al the present Congress
by eighteen Democrats in the Sen
ate and sixty Democrats in the
House, while nearly as many colored
voters (85O,863) or 43 per cent. of
the voters in those States, are repre-
sented in the same Congress by only
two Republicans in the Senate and
two Republicans in the House?
Why is it that 43 per cent. of the
entire voting population of these
ten Southern States is represented
in the several State Legislatures BY
only 178 Republicans, and the re-
naming 81 per cent. of the voters
is represented in the same LegisIa-
turs by 1,276 Demoerats7 Is It pre-
tended the 850,863 colered voters, or
any number of them, are Democrats? ?
Are there not more white voters in
those States who are Republicans,
than Colored voters who are Demo
Gratis ? A coIored man who is a
Democrat of his own free will is an
anomaly in Southern politics
Observation and experience indicate,
without exception, that the colored
voters in these States are religiousl7
Republican. The votes Castin theelec-
tiOns in the States of the solid South
since 1858 prove this fact conelu-
sively, and show as well in latter
years the almost entire disfranchise-
ment of nearly 100000 RepubIi-
can voters in that section.
The figures here presented tell
the story more emphatieally than
any other argument that can be adj
duced. The following is

"Let Kentucky do her duty, and
there is no danger about the result
in Indiana" So says a Kentucky
Democratic paper. This is the great
danger the Republicans have to con
tend with For your average South
ern Democrat, not satisfied with do
ing his own and the Republicans
voting at home, wants also to invade
the border States and assist his
Democratic brethren there. Accord
ing to Colonel Woolley, a Cincinnati
Democrat, 10000 Kentuckians cross
ed over to Indiana at the election in
1868 and voted for Hendricks for
Governor. It is thus that Demo
cratic victories are gained in that
State.
