Correspondence of The True Northerner.
From business point of view, Democratic
victory in November means national calami-
upturning OF the financial policy of the govern
ment would follow the accession to power OF
the Democratic party. While this may not be
the one issue OF the campaign, IT will be pow
erful one to our business men, who, of course,
well know that when the various laws enacted
several years ago, and to the operation OF which
we owe our present sound and prosperous con-
dltion were under consideration, they were vio-
lently opposed by the Democratic party; and
that even after their adoption every obstacle
was thrown in their way. The Democratic party
is also pledged to abolish the protective tariff,
so necessary to the life OF our infant manufac-
turies, and what manufacturer, no matter what
his personal preferences may be, will vote for
the party that proposes to statute books the
laws which protect him from competition with
foreign cheap labor. They propose, too, 10 re-
move, or at any rate to greatly reduce tie tax
on tobacco and whisky, and OF course the de-
ficit in the revenue would have to be made up
by placing increased tax upon articles of neces-
sity or luxury, which would place the enjoy
ment OF them beyond the reach OF many. am
firmly Of the opinion that this Issue with the
business interests of the country is one that
should be investigated by those who propose to
vote the Democratic ticket. 1t is growing in
importance, Secretary Schurz gave it promi-
nence in his recent speech at Indianapolis, and
| doubt not his example will be followed by the
leading speakers of the party. To all who de-
sire the continuance of the present safe, con-
servatlve, honorable policy Of the government,
there Is but one choice IN the contest.
1t is now beyond question that larger num-
Der of prominent Republicans will take part in
the ceremonies preceding the Democratic buri-
al in November, than at any contest for years.
They know, OF course, that the vital interests
OF the nation are at stake, and to make the VIC

Terrible POIsOnS.

No one needs to be told that cyanide
of potassium, drug largely used in
photography, is poison of the most
deadly character. Its active ingredient
is prussic acid. Prussic acid in its pure
or, as chemists would term it, "anhy-
drous' form, is substance too dangerous
10 be kept, or even manufactured. If
glass capsule containing wine-glassful
of pure prussic acid were broken in the
pit of q theater those among the
audience who were nearest TO the doors
might escape, but the great majority
would be killed on the spot. The prussic
acid ordinarily sold, and occasionally
used for killing dogs and cats, contains
about a drop of the pure acid to a
quarter of pint of water. Pure prussic
acid no druggist dare keep. He might
as we'll compress ton of dynamite into
a single cartridge, supposing such pack
age to be possible, and then leave the
deadly parcel lying on the table. Cyanide
of potassium is not, like prussic acid,
volatile. 1t is white powder, rather
resembling flour or chalk. 1t is, how
ever, so poisonous that mere pinch Of
it, sprinkled over an open wound or sore,
will cause almost instantaneous death;
that fragment almost imperceptible to
the eye will, if swallowed, prove equally
fatal and that its mere smell has before
now produced immediate death.

The opinions expressed here Of Gen. Han
cocks letter Of acceptance are, that while it is
good, and courteous, it ls not an able paper,
and that upon 1t Gen. Hancocl: can lay no claim
to craftsmanship. 1t is not now believed that
he received assistance in its production. His
neglect to mention the important and living is
sues Of the campaign disappointed many Dem
ocrats who care nothing for the dead past which
Hancock serves up to his followers. His views
upon the war amendments, and the ballot, are
good, but as they are addressed to the Demo
cratic party, sound rather absurd. His endorse
ment Of all the principles OF the party places
him rather in . position OF contradiction to
himself, as it is we'll known that no two Demo.
cratic platforms are alike. The principles OF

able publication, which is strengthened by
paper from tho pen of General Sherman on
military law, in which he holds that the

" the poles, and each requires its own sepa-
I" rate system Of laws-statute and common.

ing some queer ideas. The Washington Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN prints u letter TO the
editor about the WHITAKER case, which
seems disposed to carry the war into Africa
with vengeance. The writer bluntly says
Senator BRUCE is worth a hundred WHIT
TAKERS and his Senatorial and social ostra-
cism is, from his position a thousand times
more offensive than WHIrTAKER's The Hon.
Mr.. HoAR, of Massachusetts,, made q telling
speech the other day on Cadet WHITAKER
being left to himself, but the honorable Sena-
tor did not think how severely he has left
Senator BRUCE and his charming wife alone. "
-[Pittsburg Chronicle.
The basis of the above paragraph was n
letter written by n warm sympathiser with
West Point, and in reply to some structures
of this paper on the WHITAKER case at its
advent, in which we championed the cause
of the colored cadet with more zeal than
was palatable to some of the Army officers
who regard West Point--and very naturally
and very properly, toO-with much favor.
The dragging of Senator BRUCE and his
estimable wife into the arena on this occa-
sion is not justified either by good taste,
public nece ssity or propriety. 1t is really
an apparant imperinence that cannot be
excused or successfully defended, for it in
dicates condition of affairs that only ex-
lists 10 the Imagination. Indeed, the at
tempt to convey the impression that Sena-
tor BRUCE is victim of ostracism is too
absurd to require any attention when
the real facts are known. If he is
ost racised, he is not aware of it. He re-
ceiyes fr ON his peers in the Senate all the
attention and respectful consideration that
he can desire, and from none more markedly
than from Senator HoAR. lie has been

GENERAL GRANTS ATTITUDE.

The constant disposition on the part of
certain iudiscreet and we think we may
safely say unprincipled calumniators of
General GRANT will do more harm to them
selves than to him, for he is far beyond
their reach and when their missiles have
expended their force they are sure 20 fall
back upon the heads Of their projectors.
Their last drive appears TO be to convince
the country that during his brief stay in
the South he was engaged in courting its
favor by q modification of his views and
utterances. Any one who will take tho
trouble to look up the various little talks
that General GRANT had with the people OF
that section will di scover that they are in
perfect accord with his utterances while he
was President of the United States The
central idea of all his speeches in the South
has been equal rights, liberties and equities
forall, whether white or black, perfect obedi'
ence to the laws and the extinction oflinger-
ing sectional hates and animosites that have
already too long disturbed the harmony Of
our common country, To show the perfect
concord between his present and past utter.
auces we have only to cite from his special
message to Congress, January, 1870 on the
pending condition of affairs in Louisiana, in
which he said:

SEN AToR BLAINE is credited by CORE
spondents with inventing the epithet "po-
"litical eunuchs," as applicable to the Re-
publicans of the South. If there is honor
in inventing such term to characterize
any portion of the citizens Of our country
Senator BLAINE cannot claim it. Senator
BENTON more than thirty years ago used it
to describe the people of this District. We
presume Mr. BLAINE disinterred the cpl
thet in question previous to the alliance
with SHERMAN in the Southern campaign
against GRANT. Whether virile or not on
the day of election, he seems quite willing
to have Southern supporters at Chicago
Could the rank and file of that section be
informed in time of Mr.. BLAINE's contempt
for them his Southern boom would GER
tainly end in smoke
