THE bloody shirt being no longer
available as party issue, our Repub-
lican friends have discarded it, and
taken TO hard lying as substitute.
One of the orators on a recent occa.
sion, we understand, asserted broadly
that the soldiers in the late rebellion
from the North, with very few excep-
tons, we're Republicans, and that the
Democrats who we're present in that
unpleasantness, and so unfortunate as
TO fall in battle, "were all shot in The
back" The fellow who l. credited
with making this assertion could not
speak from personal observation, for
during the entire period of the war.
though nc was healthy, able-bodied
young man, no power could have
forced him within fifty miles Of a
battle field. But it is common for
those who know least Of battles to
prate the most about them.

Congress.

From all parts of the 10th district
we have the most undoubted and con-
elusive evidence that the Democratic
party is rallying earnestly and enthu-
siastically to the support of Ex-Gov.
Curtin. In the excitement of a Presi-
dental year local candidates are apt
to be overlooked, but Gov. Curtin is
making a thorough canvass of his
district, bringing himself face to face
with the people, and in every locality
in which he appears he is greeted with
such demonstrations of favor and en-
thusiasm as leave no doubt that he
will receive the hearty and undivided
support of his party at the polls. In
the district it is only a question as to
whether his majority shall be three
thousand or four thousand.
Between Gov. Curtin and the gen.
tleman the Republicans have placed
in nomination against him there should
be no question in the mind of any
Democrat. Gov. Curtin is an able,
well-versed and experienced statesman,
has national reputation gained by
years of arduous and patriotic service to
the country i'll its greatest time of need
when the very life Of the government
was in peril, and will make a represen-
tative that any constituency might
well regard with the warmest impulses
of pride and admiration. With the
Democratic party he is in hearty ac-
cord, and has been prominent figure
in all the efforts that have been made
for reform in the interests of the peo-
pie and a pure administration Of the
affairs of government. He came to the
Democratic party in 1872 because he
believed it was the only party that
could secure to the people of the Unit
ed States the blessings of popular rule
and freedom from the encroachments
of Capitalization of power that was
and is to-day, fast sapping the founda-
tons of Constitutional government a.
it came to us from our fathers, and rob-
bing the States and the people of their
guaranteed rights and liberties.
We have nothing to say against the
personal standing and character of the
man pitted by the Republicans against
Gov. Curtin. But certainly when the
relations of the two men to the public
are regarded no comparison can be
drawn that will not show that Gov.
Curtin is an incalculable distance be-
yond his opponent in ability, fitness,
experience and political belief to hon
estly and truthfully represent the
principles that the people of the 10th
district wish to see enforced in Congress.
Democrats, in voting for a person to
represent you in the Congress of the
United States, you have plain duty
before you. We know you will not be
unmindful of it on election day. Gov.
Curtin will be your representative by
a majority that will honor him as well
as yourselves.

GRANTS silly talk about Gen. Ham
cock, through the medium of the
Rev. c. II. Fowler, is receiving about
the same fate that followed all the
other attempts to discredit the public
or private record of the Democratic
candidate for President-total failure
to obtain the political capital desired,
but positive disgrace aud discontinue
to the parties seeking it. After the
experience of the New York Tribune
and other stalwart papers in demand
ing the private letter Of Gen. Hancock
to Gen. Sherman, one would have
supposed that even Grant, in an after
dinner interview with a besotted
preacher, might have been more dis
Greet. Trying TO beliitle a man whose
intellectual endowments the flower of
his party had already tested aud whose
character as a soldier and officer they
found to be impregnable in its purity
and patriotism, Gen. Grant only ex.
hibited his own intellectual littleness
and dishonor as a soldier, without
adding anything to his party TO avert
the doom which awaits it. This inter
view has called out the correspondence
between Grant as General of the Army
and Hancock a. the General in com
mand of the 9th Department at New
Orleans, which cer.ainly reflects no
marked credit upon the former, nor
does it detract from the well-earned
fame or craftsmanship of the latter.
If the Republicans are satisfied with
this contribution Of Grant to the
campaign, the Democracy may be
equally satisfied that there was roll
licking preacher on hand, possessed of
more zeal than discretion, to place his
crazy criticism upon record.

this fury which PEARSON had excited and

ant-governor of Pennsylvania made a
gcanisition upon President HAYES for
troops to put down thO infurioted mass,

dency, TO the front to quell the riot there,
and subsequently TO the coal regions of
Pennsylvania. 1t was then that the brave
PEARSON emerged from his hiding place.
The firing of that fatal volley by the order
of PEARSON cost the state of Pennsylvania
S4,O0O,00O to pay the damage done by the
incendiary torch of the rioters. HANCOCK

THE FOURTH IN soUrH CARoLINA

The Greenville Is. O. Ncrs is ofthe opin-
ion that the fourth should not be very glo-
riously cee brated in South Carolina. In
fact it thinks the solid south, black and
white, have lit tie to rejoice in, all things
considered Once the southern people We're
foolish enough to celebrate, but now it asks
What have we to be glad about? Do any
of MS think that we were any better morally,
materially, intellectually or socially in 1876
| than we would have been had our fathers
abode IN their breaches, and prudenty re.
! fused to 90 TO the aid Of that Massachusetts,
which loves us so dearly, and has done so
| much to show her gratitude? What indi-
| vdual can say on his conscience that he has
more or knows more now than if our fore.
fathers had been sensible instead of generous,
and remained loyal to the best government
and the grandest country in tho world? From
our toll, our blood ana our territory the north
has derived great benefit. The course Of hui
man events has made her rich, prosperous
aud happy-so much 80 that sho could afford
to mpovogish Us, desoate our country, and
say thousands of our men. There, rejoicing
is hearty aud just, but what we have to be
| joyful over is to this dcpOnent unknown.
1t is our deliberate opinion that tho only pro.
per and Just expressive way in which the
southern people could celebrate the fourth,
would be in deyotng it systematically to the
abuse of the "sgnols." We arc "loil"
enough. We've been whipped, aud know it,
ana abide it, But just little indulgence in
natural feelings occasionally is pleasantly
bitter
The Ncrs evidently speaks from the full
ness of its heart and itrepre7ents tho exact
state of feeling in South Carolina among
the whites There has not been since the
end of the reasonable struggle for scces-
sion any exhibition Of patriotic regard for
the results of the war of the revolution ex-
cept those which came from tho negroes
and it is not strange that even this should
cease. From 1-G5 to 1877 tie celebration
Of the fourth was the peculiar glory Of the
freedman. To the whites it was and re,
mains Yankee holiday. The freedmen
expressed their natural feeling with an ex.
uberanco which was intended to be in
marked contrast with the Indifference OF
hostility of the whites, Since 1871 the
porades and speeches have been wanting
| IN that year the day was celebrated by q
meeting in Charleston Of over G,OOO colored
persons who met TO express an interest IN
emigration to Liberia. No declaration
was read, nor was the union gloriGcd as th,
freedom giyer and protector, The fourth
has taken on new significance to tho
negro of South Carolina which has com
plotoly overcast its former one, 1t is th,
anniversary Of the massacre at Hamburg

THE EETREATINe WARRIOR.

WINFIELD SCoTT HANCOCK was one of
tho three corps commanders who sat in
council of war in hetent of General GRANT
during the six days continuous fighting
in the wilderness, and TO whom he had re-
ferred the question as to the military situn-
ton on the 11th day of May 1854, q most
cventlul day in that memorable campaign.
1t was upon that occasion when General
HANCOCK gave his written opinion to Cen
eral GRANT that he should take up line
of retreat, and wi thdraw the advancing
army TO this side Of the Rapidau as q
would be annihiatcd and the cause lost
At the close Of the interview General
GRANT handed to each Of the corps com
m manders present sealed orders, which were
to be opened simultaneously Mt given
time, and acted under. These officers an
ticipated that these orders related TO re-
treat, and made up their minds that they
would soon be out of q very tight place
Judge their surprise when at the appointed
time they broke the seals of their orders
instead of retreat until otherwise directed.
The country knows the result. Surprising
that General GRANT had taken HANCOCK S
advice and rctreatcd, what then? Delay
and disaster, Still there are those who
would fain have the country believe that
HANCOCK excclled GRANT as n soldier, and
yet he could not induce him to retreat.
The truth is that GRANT never retrcatcd.
He is not that brand Of warrior.
