WHAT IS DUTY now?


There is considerable pressure upon the
republican managers of the present politi-
cal campaign to send speakers from the
north into the southern section to attend
republican meetings and address the peo-
PIE on the issues Of the day. We have not
felt, nor do we now feel, like seconding
such a proposition, for the sim pie reason
that it would be time, effort and money
thrown away. The republicans might
rally in large numbers Mt republican meet
ings--they might listen TO eloquent ad-
dresses-they might organize, make nomi-
nations and vote for them on election day,
but there the matter would end. Their
votes will not be counted and returned by
those who are on the board Of canvassers,
and all will come to nought. We wish it
were otherwise, but we must accept the
situation as destiny seems to point. 1t is
barely possible that Virginia, Florida and
North Carolina may be exceptions to this
rule, but all the other states are sealed as
solid for the democrats, aud neither the
people of the north and west nor the gov
eminent itselfhas the power to avert it. As
"a solid south" presents itself on the dem
ocratic side it is the part of wisdom, per-
haps, now to bend every republican energy
and put forth every effort in that section
of the country which is debatablo ground,
where there is some chance of a harvest
after our political sowing. Every available
effort, every dollar in money needed for
legitimate campaign purposes, and every
power of argument aud eloquence available
should be expended in New York, Indiana,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Maine. Those
states present arabic territory, and should
be cultivated with unhagging energy and
determination until they are all saved to
tho republican cause. This is wisdom
this is duty-this is expedieucy; and we
say now, let us make a solid republican
north against solid democratic south, and
let the settlement be made on that line for
the present.

Acknowledgement to contemplate General
GRANTS order No. to the Boys in Blue"
They present sad spectacle to the country
when they gather around the remnants of
the lost cause," the debris of their mud
machines that have been worn out in q
futile effort to smrch better men than they
can ever hope TO be, and with heavy hearts
and sad countenances review their own
records and hang upon the ragged edge of
despair as they encounter the inevitable in
this order which has shattered their last
hope General GRANT and the old guard
of BOG are plaintively told that they do not
represent any political power-that they
are harmless in Kentucky, Missouri, Texas,
Alabama, Virginia and Tennessee, where
tissue ballots and false counting have been
substituted for the murderous rifle and the
buldozing shotgun, and that they cannot
rally any strength in either Of those states
where democracy has been fused and solid
fled with the blood of murder, until free
dom has departed and the constitutional
rights of the citizen are no longer respected
or recognized. This may be so, but we
shall see when the count comes whether
the influences Of the gallant BOG do not fish
out of that murder-ridden section few re-
publican electoral votes and several addi-
tioral members of congress to sustain the
government against the advancing rebel
brigadiers"
1t is a noticeable fact that these mourners
who look so sadly upon General GRANTS
obtrusiye order, and who are drawing their
only comfort from a solid south, make no
allusion to the great states Of Pennsylvania
and New York, which con tributed some

CAMpAIGN sLANpERs,

The Philadelphia Times thinks there
should be ga general wiping out of cam
paign SANDERS" and asks the republican
journals to begin by retracting those against
General HANCOCK. Tn n list presented for
retraction we find the following:
That General HANCocRs conduct in the
SURRATT case was in any degree censurable
Certainly this is not a SANDER of repub-
lican origin, and the request for retroction
is therefore addressed to the wrong party.
We have large republican exchange list,
and we have never seen one Of them make
it fault in General HANcoCK's record that
he performed his duty on that occasion.
Republicans at the time were universally
in favor of the hanging of the assassins of
President LINCOLN, and republicans ever
since have defended the officers who tried,
sentenced aud hanged them from the as
saults of democratic sympathizers with
treason and assassination.
Another of the ISLANDERS" to be retractcd
is the following:
That General HANCOCK wrote letter to
General SHERMAN declaring his intention to
recognize TILDEN as president il no should
take tho oath, tho electoral commission de-
cision to the contrary notwithstanding
This charge, too, is of democratic origin,
II was promulgated in order to commend
HANCOCK to that large class of democrats
who opposed TLDEN because, as they said,
he was too cowardly to raise the standard
of revolt against the decision of the elect
oral commission. Nor do democrats now
generally look upon the charge as a SANDER.
The peculiar and special HANCOCK organ
of this city, the Sunday Herald, asserts that
such letter exists, aud is anxious that it
shall see the light. The cheers in the Gin
cinnau convention when Mr.. DoUGHERTY
said, HANCOCK will take his seat if nomi-
"nated,n showed the real spirit of the men
who made the nomination. The correction
of the slip of the tongue fell fat upon party
which, in 1860, attempted to break up tho
government rather than submit to the cleo
| ton of Mr. LINCOLN. The man who could
write such letter at such time is the man
10 lead HENRY WATTERsoNs hundred thou
sand men should the result Of the voting
give shadow of claim TO the presidency
and such man is the one the democrats
were looking for. Whether they found him
or not we will let them decide.
We have seen nothing TO change the
opinion expressed when the charge first
appeared
The truth is that HANCOCK Is a regular
army officer above anything else. Ho is sub

WHY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL
WIN


WIN
1t will win because:
The democratic party showed its incom-
potency to deal with the crime Of secession {;
The state-rghts notions of democracy
when put in practice legibmately lead to
disruption and war;
The democratic leaders in congress gave
encouragement to the rebels by opposing
all the leading measures by which alone the
rebellion could be suppressed:
They applauded the generals who showed
the most mastery inactivity. and ridicued
and belittled those who moved with vigor
and punished with severity:
They denounced the issue Of greenbaclls {:
They opposed the operations of
Mr.. CHASE through the national banks:
They declared that the rebellion could
not be put down:
They pronounced the war Il failure:
They agreed that emancipation was an
outrage:
They opposed the constitutional amend
ments:
They declared the attempt to restore q
sound currency to be chimerical:
They predicted nothing but ruin" rs the
result of the financial policy of the republic
cans:
They encouraged the ultra demands of
the rebels in any basis of settlement:
They excused the ku.l,lux and winlSed
at the outragcs upon colored and white
voters in the south:
They organized the tissue ballot system
They connived at the stupendous frauds
in Louisiana and New York:
They withheld the pay of legal officers OF
the government because they performed
the duties to which they were assigned,
and threatened to stop the wheels of gov
eminent altogether unless a single branch
of congress could control all legislation:
They favor the passage of bills pushing
through southern claims on insufficient
testimony, and in way that if continued
will add millions to the expenses of the
war and keep up the burden of the war
debt for quarter Of century to come;
The democratic party is the party OF
secession, war, plumber, disuniUn, rebellion,
state rights, disorder, fraud, commotion,
debt and disaster:
Its predictions fail, because they are
founded on ignorance
1t holds q solid south as its boast, aud
governs a solid south in a way that enter
prise shuns it and beggars mourn their
inability to fee therefrom:
The solid south, full of natural resources
in mines, forests, rivers, soil and products
of various climes, is so governed by the
master spirits ofdemocrOcy that immigrants
give it a wide berth, and laboring men
seek homes in the north and west, where
natural advantages are inferior, so manifest
is the disability under democratic party
| government:
The people do not mean that such gov
eminent shall he extended over the whole
country, and hence;
The republicans are next time sure tc
| win.

Nothing has brought such serious damage
to the sickly and dying cause of democracy
since the canvass opened as this timely
order No. 1, which has spread dismay all
through its camp by its hated presence.
This blow has paralyzed democratic effort,
has dried up the mud machines and brought
them TO stand, has wet their powder and
brought rust upon their armor, and there
the sad crew Of traitors and plunderers sit
in the darkness of dependency

very low, and their whitening hands full of

Some statistics of interest have been
officially published with regard to the
consumption of tobacco in Germany
During the year 1878 that empire used
tobncco worth 353, ,O0O, 900 marks, which
brought a revenue to the Government Of
26,3S3,966 marks. The quantity used
amounted to 2.196, 900 hundred weights,
and of this 5S2 600 had been smoked in
the shape of cigars. Reckoning 100 cl-
gars to a pound in weight, the number
of cigars consumed in 1878 would be
more than 1000 900, 900, or enough to
give 100000 smokers 2 cigars day
all the year round. Besides in cigars,
the Germans smoked 1897, 200 hundred
weights of tobacco in other forms. They
snuffed 10000 hundred weights, and
they chewed 14.200 hundred weights
More than one-third of Ill this tobacco
was grown by Germany ITSELF manly in
Rhenish Bavaria, Baden, South Hess, and
Alsace Lorrine.
