CONGRESSMAN JORGENSEN, the sole
Republican representative from Vir-
ginia, takes hopeful view of Republi-
can prospects in Virginia. He is conf
dent of his own reelection from the Pc
tersburg district, and that with an active
campaign Republicans will be elected
from the districts now represented by
Beale and Goode. Goode, who repre-
sents the Norfolk district, first got into
Congress by fraud in the election OF
1874. The Democratic Committee on
Elections made a report unseating him
in favor of Platt, the Republican con-
testant; and it was only upon shame
fully partisan appeals upon personal
grounds altogether apart from the facts
in the case that the Democratic majority
in the House gave the seat to him
against the recommendations of the
committee.

GARFIELD AT THE HELM.

Once more atioat, old Ship of State,
With bOiSterouS seas before thee;
But hopes are high and hearts elate,
And victory hoverS DER thee.
The storm may beat. old ocean rave
And threaten to oerwhelm;
But vain the rage of wind or wave
With Garfield at the helm!
Cast Off Three cheers Set every sail
And nerve will tell and skill prevail
With Garfield at the helm!
Oft hast thou braved the troubled sea,
Good ship, on many billow!
But lonely rock nor wreck-strewn lee
Was never yet thy pillow.
Though reef and rock spread out be-
fore,
And though the cruise be long,
Safe wilt thou reach the haven shore,
For thou art stanch and strong.
Cast off Three cheersl Set every sail
And nerve will tell and skill prevail
With Garfield at the helml
All hands aboard No laggards newl
For threatening strife be ready;
Let gallant seamen man the bow
Our pilots brave and steady
YOn distant banner marks our aim,
Flung out DER Freedoms towers;
Harkl did you hear that loud acclaim ?
The victory is oursl
Cast effl Three cheers Set every sail!
And nerve will tell and skill prevail
With Garfield at the helm

mated. This it is that explains the
stampede of the Confederate Democracy
to him. 1t is knowledge of these facts
that so arouses the enthusiasm of South
ern Democrats and leads General Pres
ton, of Kentucky, to talk about killing
whoever shall oppose Hancock's inaug-
uration, and to pledge his life and for.
tune that no one shall dare to take the
Presidency from his grasp.
General Hancock is the Democratic
nominee, not because of his soldierly
qualities or his craftsmanship, but be.
cause the Democratic delegates at Gin
cinnati believed General Smiths story
about him, and believed that man who
was so willing to resort to revolutionary
proceedings in behalf of another would
not shrink from doing it on his own ac-
count if the opportunity. were given
him. And the same considerations that
induced the Democracy to nominate
him should lead him now to resign his
commission in the Army New York

AN intelligent gentleman, good po-
litical observer, and Democrat to boot,
who has just arrived in this city from
Indiana, where he has been living for
some time past, stated to us this morn
ing that the Republicans of that State
are already thoroughly organized, and
sure of victory. He says that the Dem
ocrats thus far have done nothing, while
the Republicans are working like bea-
vers" This corr esponds with the state
ment in the Cincinnati Enquirer of this
morning, made by its State correspond
ent He says that from the present out
look, and after careful survey of the
field, he feels certain that unless a
change takes place soon, the Republicans
are sure to carry Indiana by five or six
thousand majority.--lC Columbus Dis

O That Splendid Soldier.

We have watched our Democratic ex-
changes and carefully searched for the
principles that General Hancock carries
in his saddle valise. The result of our
search can be summed up as follows:
On the subject of the currency he is a
magnificent looking fellow.
On the subject of the tariff he is a
splendid soldier.
On the subject of free trade ne wears
brilliant uniform.
On the subject of river and harbOr i'm
provements he makes a grand appear
ance on horseback.
On State rights he appears well in his
epaulettes and brass buttons.
On civil service reform he has fine
military bearing.
On the so-called reform in the admin
istration of the government he is mod
ern Nurat.
On the Indian question he is the finest
looking Indian fighter the country ever
produced, notwithstanding that for eve
ry Indian he killed it cost the Govern
ment $4,500,000.
On the subject of hanging Mrs. Sur
rat he hung her in soldierlike manner;
but he would rather nothing to be said
about it.
On the Southern question he behaved
like gallant soldier. and made himself
popular with every kuklux, white-liner,
bull-dOzer and ballot-bOX stuffer.
On the subject of foreign relations he
wears a splendid mustache.
On the school question he is hand
some looking man.
On all other questions of public pol
icy he has a martial bearing.
In some respects he resembles JEFF
Davis, the only difference being that he
wears corset, while Jeff wore a petit.
coat Cleveland Leader.

Free Trade and English Iron.

English steel rails can be bought
at present at e5 15s. put on board YES
sells at Liverpool. If a large order, say
for ten thousand tons, were in question
the rails would probably be furnished
at G IS. Steel blooms, duty paid, are be-
ing put on cars at Baltimore at $40 pei
ton. Allowing for duty and freight
these blooms net the English manufac-
turers about a lis. at Liverpool. In
the British iron districtS-take the Cum
berland for an example-Ore yielding
80 to So per cent of metallic iron costs
the manufacturer from shillings to 9
shillings 6 pence per ton delivered at the
furnace; limestone costs him from to 8
Shillings per ton, and coke, of which
quarter ton will make ton of iroL,
costs from to 10 shillings ton. ffAt
these rates for material the British iron
manufacturer can make iron at 4Os. a
ton and save himself, and make steel
rails at sos. per ton. One manufacturer,
receiving large order for steel rails
from this country in the dark days be-
fore resumption, at e3 17.6s. per ton,
congratulated himself that even at that
rate the contract would net him a shill-
ing profit per ton. When this manufac-
ufacturer can sell his steel blooms at
$40 in Baltimore, he gets net price of
"a lis. on board vessel at Liverpool, and
deducting to IS. for transportation
from his works to Liverpool. according
to distance, he has $40 to e4'12 per ton
for his blooms. No American iron and
steel manufacturer, deprived of the pro-
lection of the tariff, can hope to keep
his works going in compe; ition with the
English iron masters producing iron,
and steel rails at such prices rs these, by
means of pauper labor employed from
the ore bank to the finished rail. A free
trade policy adopted in this country
would speedily work the death of every
iron furnace, every foundry, every mill
and every steel works. Once depend
ent upon England for our iron and steel,
we should have no such prices as Row
prevail in England-ten dollars a ton
for iron, twenty dollars a ton for steel
rails-with freight to this country only
to be added, but we should have prices
run up to more than they are now, for
the benefit, not of American workmen,
but of British iron masters. And this
is what the Democratic party in the
United States, training under the banner
of Hancock, English and Free Trade,
propose to do for the American me
chanic and laborer Iron at $40 ton
means just what we have had from 1878
to 1870, two or three times multiplied in
intensity for all American workmen, not
only those who make iron but all who
use it; for the price of iron in the mar
ket measures the price of every other
product of human skill and human la
Dor. And what we had in the darkest
days of the panic, several times intensi-
fed, is what the Democratic party, un-
der the blind of the gallant soldier Han
cock for President, proposes to fasten
upon the workingmen of this country
with their free trade policy, to which
Hancock, English, and the whole party
stand committed by the PLATFORM
Cleveland Herald.

THE political record of English, of In
diana, who has hopes of being the next
Vice President, belongs to the fOssilifer-
Gus period. He has made little figure in
public life since the war. He very SEN
sibly gave his attention to the business
of putting money in his purse, and has
done that successfully. Before the war
he was known as pro-slavery Demo
crat, with strong sympathies for the Ma
tional DeH Hocratic-that is to say, South
ern-policy of making slavery Nation
al institution. In the Kansas contro-
versy it was English who submitted a
bill in Congress offering the citizens of
Kansas public bribe to vote for the in
iquitous Lecompton Constitution, and
threatening them with the punishment
of indefinite Territorial Government il
they rejected it. He gloried in the fact
that there was no taint of Free Soilism
about him. He wanted the National
domain dedicated to slavery. We sus
pect, if it had been in its power, Indiana
would have been made slave State
He was one of those Northern men witt
Southern principles, and gloried in auc
tion blocks and slave pens, and probably
believed that the descendants of Han
had been foreordained to be the newer,
of wool and drawers of water for thu
white race. Nothing prevented Englisl
from being rebel in arms against tn,
Government of the United States bu
his geographical position and the stronl
hand of Indianas War Governor. A few
degrees south, and English would hav
either become a Quartermaster Genera

Situation in Virginia.


WAsHINSToN, July S.-The action OF
the Readjuster Convention in Virginia
yesterday. in nominating an independ-
ent Hancock Electoral ticket, attracts a
great deal of attention here. Republi-
cans claim that this division of the Dem
ocrats insures the State to Garfield, and
the Democrats virtually admit it. This
means in effect that the regular Demo-
Gratis of the State will vote fore one Han
Hancock Electoral ticket, the Readjust-
ers for another Hancock Electoral tick
ct, and the Republicans for one Garfield
Electoral ticket, leaving the latter to
carry the State and Garfield to secure its
Electoral vote. There is a large Demo
cratic majority, but it can not be divided
and remain majority. If the two con-
tending factions of the Democracy, the
Conservatives and the Readjusters, in
sist upon running separate Hancock
tickets, Garfield will carry the State,
and eleven Electoral votes will be sub
tracted from the Democratic and added
to the Republican score.

PENNSYLVANIA Democrats are not a
little troubled at the vehemence with
which out-and-out Free Traders, such as
David A. Wells, are booming for Han
cock. AS these men only know the
Democratic party as the party of free
trade. and only support it because of the
hope they have that it will, if it secures
power, wipe out the tariff system, which
is to-day and has been the basis of the
nations credit, they doubtless regard
Hancock as Free Trader. The Penn
sylvania and New Jersey Democrats do
not like to hurrah for the man that is
receiving such hearty support from the
leading Free Traders, and are wondering
how the man on horseback will manage
to get over this tariff fence without
breaking his neck. If Mr.. Hancock has
any expectation of carrying Pennsylva-
MIA, he will have to come down on the
tariff side with a vehemence that will
lose to him the support of the free trade
element in other States, which is not less
necessary to his election. The most ar
tiStic straddle will be entirely unsatisfac-
tory to both factions BALTIC. American.

The Germans and Hancock.

The German, though possessed OF
courage and all other soldierly qualities,
and always ready to take up arms In
what he esteems a good cause, is ex-
tremely averse to military methods and
military rule Despairing of ever being
able to shake off such methods and such
rule, in the land of their birth, they mi
grated hither in the hope and eXpecta-
ton that they and their posterity would
never be subject to the conscription in
time of peace, and would never be free
from the domination of military rule.
1t was this deep seated and ineradica-
ble sentiment among German Republi-
can voters that caused the rejection of
Gen. Grant at Chicago. The same senti-
ment is equally strong in the breast of
the German Democratic voter: and that
sentiment, though not noisy and demon
strative, will make itself felt at the ap-
preaching elections.-IO. S. Journal.
