Why He Supports Garfield.

The Hon. E. 81. Cove, Chairman of
the Maine Greenback State Committee,
Greenback candidate for Congress in the
First district in 1873, and Secretary of
State under Gov. Garcelon, has written
the following letter E-a s.a
BDDEFoRD, Aug. 26, 1880.
Gentlemen of the Greenback State Committee:
hereby surrender my membership of your
organization and withdraw. Hereafter shall
act with the Republican party. No one can
more sincerely regret the necessity that COM
pels this step. The original end sought through

urst issue called thousands out; the second is

calmer judgment of true men, the persistent
and tireless Democracy have dragged the
Greenback party into this false position. find
It no longer an independent organization. Its
forces, as now directed, are one with the
"soid South" a factor in the struggle for DEM
ocratic supremacy. Of this party Scion Chase
says: "They now stand upon the hardest
kind of hard-money platform, and the Bourbon
rule in the South, where they may have their
own way. Is disgrace to the civilization of any
country A "solid South" is the boast of the
Northern Democrats it should be their shame
and confusion. It is not community Of ideas,
begotten of free discussion it is the harmony of
fear, the unity of terrorism, cemented in blood.
Now we are united by fusion with this criminal
and dangerous solid South. The young, pure
blood of the Greenback party is to be trans
fused into the frame of this dying Desperate

the good of the country are best served by

Gen. Grants First Political Speech.

The Hon. Philo A. Orion, of Darling
ton, Wis, late convert from the Dem
ocracy to the ranks of Republicanism,
recently addressed a large Garfield and
Arthur meeting at Galena, III.
At the conclusion of Judge Orton's
speech Gen. Grant was loudly called
for, and promptly made his way to the
front of the stage amidst tremendous
applause. As soon as order was restored
the General spoke as follows:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN did not intend to
speak. when came here tonight I am very
much like Judge Orion. I have never made
Republican speech in my life, or any kind of q
political speech. I am sure it would require

Luminous Paint in Railway Coaches,

The evolution of light from inani-
mate objects is universally known,
though it is very difficult to give a
satisfactory explanation of the princi-
pies involved. The light emitted
from Prof. Balmain's luminous paint
is undoubtedly due to chemical &C
ton.
The English Raslaoay Neavs says We
understand that one OF the carriages
on the Great Western Railway has
been painted with the late Prot. Bal
mains luminous paint, and many SCI
entific men and railway representa-
tives have taken advantage of their
invitation to take short trips on the
Metropolitan Railway in order to
test the efficiency Of the experiment.
1t is gratifying to have to announce
that on all hands considerable salts
faction has been expressed at the re-
suit. A frst-class carriage was chosen
for the experiments, and in the day
light its appearance is very little, if
any at all, different to ordinary paint,
but during the time the carriage is
exposed to the light the paint is rap
idly absorbing the daylight, only to
give forth the same the moment the
carriage is travelling in the dark. At
first the light emitted is only slight
not that the paint is any different in
its Illuminating powers, but the pu-
pills Of the eyes of the traveller have
not yet been accustomed to the light
for, as the journey proceeds, the car.
riage appears to be completely lighted
up, so much so that the passengers are
enabled easily to recognize the features
of their fellow travellers, while the
time by watch is clearly discernible.
This light lasts not for a short time
but continues for a few hours, when the
carriage can be again exposed to the
daylight and the same process is gone
through. The paint, when once ap-
piled, will, itappears, last as long as
ordinary paint.

the civil war. Under the lead of the Republic
can party the Union was preserved, the consti-
tuition was maintained in its full vigor and
strengthened by amendments so as to declare
the equal civil and political rights of all men,
without distinction of race, color or condition,
and that Congress should enforce these rights
by appropriate legislation. Upon these terms
the rebels were restored to their rights and
privileges as American citizens, and now, with
their Northern associates, under the name of
the Democratic party, they revive the old con-
test, and deny to American citizens the protec-
ton of national rights by national authority.
This doctrine of State rights is the basis of
opposition to national banks, to the protection
of American industry, to the national election
laws, and protection of the ballot-box, and to
the navigation laws. Whenever the question
arises in national politics, you will always find
the Republican party in favor of the enforce
ment of all the rights, civil and political. con-
ferred by the constitution of the United States
while the Democratic party oppose the enforce
ment OF these rights, and leave the citizen to
the tender mercy of local or State law.
1t is for the patriotic people Of this country to
say whether they want change back from the
national tendencies of the Republican party to
the principles that brought our Government to
the verge of dissolution in the days of Blu
chanan. The principles of the Southern
States, with their bloody violence, are the fruit
of Judge Thurman's doctrine, while those of
the Northern States are the outgrowth Of Re
publian ideas.
