The Man for the Times.
From the Kansas CITY Times.

Il TV1H VIZ Ik'TT7H7 Wv IT1Hts,
Mr.. Seymour from his vocation of life as
a farmer, is in sympathy with the great
farming and laboring classes Of the United
States. He is one of the Northern men
who is sufficiently intelligent and patriotic
to see that it is to the interest of the State
and city of New York to cultivate the best
political and personal relations with the
great agricultural and producing classes
South and West. His letters to the pub
lie advocating the repeal Of our unwise
navigation laws and the restrictions of the
tariff preventing the building of American
vessels and increasing our tonnage, prove
him to be a statesman who sympathizes
with the producing classes in having cheap
transportation of their commodities to
foreign markets.

length upon the same subject for this issue

an article captioned, "The financial issue--

the case, we have concluded to reprint that
in lieu of anything from our own pen' We
commend the article to our readers as one

The Press Association will assemble at
Yazoo City, Wednesday, June I'd, 1880, and
will probably adjourn the following Friday
evening. The members could then reach
Holly Springs, Saturday, in time to attend
the ceremonies ofunveiling the monument.
As we would be in Holly Springs only one
day, every member should pay his own ex-
penses there. 1t would not be right to put
the good people of that hospitable town to
the trouble of entertaining us fla major
ity of the members desire to visit Holly
Springs, after attending the annual meeting
arrangements will be made with that object
in view. Let us hear from all.

A Kind Word for a True Man.
Macon sun.

Somehow or other some of our State ex.
changes have fallen into the mistake of
calling the Brandon Republican a fire-eat-
ing Bourbon journal 1t is neither, not in
the offensive sense Of the terms. Col.
Frantz and ourselves were, in ante-bellum
times, of the same political faith and creed,
and there was no such thing as fre-eating in
the thirty nine articles of that faith 1t was
a characteristic of the old leaders of that
party that they were never of the rule and
rum stripe, but have been firm, honest and
consistent in their opposition to Radical
ism1n all its shapes, and they have never
been disorganizers

The Mississippi River Commission
will meet about the tenth of February
when they propose to resume considers
ton Of the plans for the Improvement Of
that stream, and will submit prelimi-
nary report. The House Committee
who have had under consideration the
questions of the Mississippi levees have
partially determined, before taking def
mite action on those improvements, to
either visit the whole line of works in n
body or to send out subcommittee.
We fear that there is too much of the
spirit of how not to do it intermingled
with this great enterprise to encourage
the expectation that it will be pushed
forward to an early completion.

WHAT THE PRESS SAYS.

Yazoo City Herald.
Mr.. Lamars eloquence and the rever-
sion Of the thoughts of the people to 9th
Ell and redeeming acts, had aroused con.
siderable disposition to forgive him (for vic.
lating the will of his constituents in voting
against the silver bilD when at the election
of his colleague, he leaves his seat in the
Senate and comes home to control the Leg
islature in their choice. In this he proved
his utter disregard for the trust reposed in
him, by vacating his seat in matter not at
all personally interesting him more than
others; and showing disposition to control
that very body by whom he refused to be
controlled. Had Mr.. Lamar, himself, been
a candidate, the people would have been in
clined to palliate his absence from the Cap.
tol AS it is, the indignation is louder
than that for the previous ofIense and much
more general, as many excuse first offence
by allowing many possible reasons, but
the latter, besides being worthy of condem-
nation in itself, had the effect to fix the
character of the former action. No feeling
is entertained against him on account OF
his espousal of the cause of Walthall, as the
many ecomiums on that gentlemen SO abun-
dainty attest, but of such step in the alb
stract. The members of the United Slaves
Senate, like the Conscript Fathers of An
cient Rome, should be elevated far above
the manipulating of elections or leaving
their places for any cause whatever.

LANCASTER INTEILGENtER MONDAY OCTOBER 25 1880

so far as this point is concerned, the will
full falsehood Of Garfeld's support
ers, such as the New York Times, win be
incontsstably established. Finally, we
shall prove by iudisputable specimens of
Washington postmarks Of last winter,
specimens vouched for by the best au-
thority, that the postmark upon the envc-
iope Of Garfeld's Chinese cheap labor let
ter is genuine Washington postmark of
last winter, and that the postmaster of
Washington, when he denied its genuine
ness yesterday, lied for the double-branded
liar who heads the Republican ticket and
whose cause he sought to serve by the lie:
=
But tomorrow or by Wednesday at
latest, We shall offer to the country the
proofs we have promised, and We now pre-
dict that from that time forth there will
be no doubt in the minds of honest and in
telligent men that James A. Garfield has
not hesitated to resort to black lies and
foul ISLANDERS to save his failing cause and
that i'll this criminal and despicable policy
lie has been advised, encouraged and
aided by the party he represents, by its Or
gaEs, and by at least one Of its prominent
Office holders, whose falsehood is as wilful
and despicab!e as that Of Garfield him
self.

Much discussion ellsuc;l over the propo-
sition of Elder Forncy for the protection
of the work of missions ard providing
means for ministers stationed ut churches
which are too poor to support pastors.
Elder Tuclscr's course in Lancaster city
was brought before the eldership on 4 mo-
ton to condemn his official action, which
elected long discussion. participated
in by a large number Of elders. Elder
Tucker was asraigned as schismatic, the
tendency of his course being to brin: the
present church in Lancaster, the "Old
Bethel" into humiliation, while the i'm
mediate effect has been to arouse anilnos-
tiles and create divisions which are regard
ed as dangerous to the good name and
unity of the church.
No effort was made by any of the elders
to impeach Elder Tnckcr's Christian char
acter or personal honesty, his course being
only denounced as refractory. The dis
cussion occupied most of yesterday after
noon.
