REPUBLICANS, get seady for
Tuesday, October II.
The Soldiers PARTY.

The followers Of General Hancock ask
Union soldiers to vote for the Demo
cratic party and the Solid South (Which
constitutes three-quarters of the Demo
cratic party,) because the Democracy
have followed Republican example in
selecting Il good man who fought for the
Unisn us their candidate. We have
shown, however, by an examination of
the record of the two parties on the pen
sion votes, some facts which Union SOL
diers will be likely to take to heart; and
here are few more:
May 20, 1880, a resolution was offered
in the House of Representative giving
a preference to honorably discharged
t'nien soldiers in making appointments
on the District of Columbia police force
The vote on this resolution was as fol-
lOwS.

ONE simple business proposition
stands right before the country. After
the reduction in six-per-cents., that Sec
retary Sherman will make by January /
there will remain for refunding in 1881
bonds on which we are paying five and
six per cent. interest, amounting to sew
en- hundred million dollars. Given a
triumphant Republican victory this fall,
and three-per-cent. bonds can be sold.
With Democratic victory refunding
would be impossible. The annual saw
ing on the bonds refundable in 1881 un-
der Republican auspices would be near
S15,000,000. Or, the first item in the ex-
pense account of the country for Dem
ocratic victory is S15,0OO,OOO a year.

25, 1864, the capital of the State then be-
ing held by Lincoln's hirelings. The adj
dress speaks in not the most complimen-
tary terms of the Northern people in
general. but its flowers of rhetoric are
strewn on General Butler, whom the
Governor addresses by name, beginning
in this heroic style: benjamin F. But
Ter of Massachusetts, arraign you to-
day at the bar of the civilized world p
and he goes OH to arraign him, and to
pile accusation on him, charging him
with all the crimes i'll the calendar, hea-
ping on him all the epithets in the vo-
cabulary, and drawing on history and
mythology for moral monsters to liken
him to. Thieving and open robbery are
only the lighter of the recreations speci-
fed. Here is an example of only the
average:
Every Sabbath morning the thieves
met at the den of the Beast, and the
stealings Of the past week were divided
out. To the jackals he gave the spoons
and the trinkets, but reserved to himself
the lions share-the coin, the plate and
the jewels. A large portion of the NOV
able wealth of New Orleans and lower
Louisiana has been transferred to the
pockets of this blear-eyed, incarnate dev-
ia great part of which he put into
foreign exchange and sent to Europe;
and now he is by far the richest man on
the continent. He can loan money to
the Rothschilds and can buy out the
wealthiest citizen of New York.
ask now, Butler, the Beast, what hast
thou TO say against the dark and damn
ing crimes. With the fiendish
heart of the hyena, you tore open the
tomb of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston,
and robbed the grave of that gallant
soldier"
And so on for quantity. But Butler
is again Democrat, and good enough
for Democrat.-Cincinnati Gazette.

SENATOR EDMUNDS ON REBEL
CLAIMS.
Their Payment Not Forbidden by the
Constitutional Amendments.

CUuSIllullUUd1 tAIIltUuHltHlS.
Mason City (Mich.) News, September ..
In the Grand Rapids Weekly Demo
crat of August Is appeared review of
a recent speech of Senator Edmunds of
Vermont in which the Senator spoke
strongly of the danger of the allowance
of rebel claims, amounting to millions
of dollars, in case of Hancock's election
The Democratic article cited the Fourth
Section of the XIVth Amendment to the
Constitution as interposlng an insuper-
able barrier to the payment of rebel
claims, and claimed that Senator Ed
munds delivered the speech in question
well knowing that fact. We cut out the
article and inclosed with short letter
to MI. Edmunds, and promptly received
the following in reply:
BURLINGTON, VT, August 80.
DEAR SIR: Yours of the 18th came
just us was going out of town. 1 fear
the editor of the Grand Rapids Demo-
crat is not very hungry to find out ex-
actly what the Fourth Section of the
XIVth Amendment covers in point of
law.
The rebel claims referred to are not
claims of rebels for aiding the rebellion,
but for property, amounting altogether
to hundreds and probably thousands of
millions, taken or destroyed by armies
of the United States, and therefore the
moment the test of loyalty of any claim
ant is repealed, the claim of the rebel
stands exactly like the claim of any
other citizen against the government on
account of its action, and not on account
of the action of the rebel authorities.
The Democrats in Congress have tried
time after time to repeal the distinction
in respect of loyal and disloyal persons,
and they have bills now pending in the
Senate to effect that object, and they
will effect it by solid or nearly solid
Democratic vote the moment they get
possession of all the departments of the
government.
AS to rebel pensions, the editor of the
Democrat, if he will reflect little, will,
/ am sure, agree that a pension does not
in any case tall within the description of
any "debt or obligation" and if so, it is
not within the prohibition of the XIVth
Amendment, A pension is and always
has been granted upon the ground or
bounty of gratitude, and not of legal OBJ
legation. 1t is perfectly clear, therefore,
that the Constitution does not stand in
the way of Congress pensioning every
rebel soldier or soldiers widow and
children, or indeed every other rebel, if
it pleases.
l will not reciprocate the epithets of
this worthy editor.
Very truly yours,
GEO. f. EDMUNDs.

\ DEMOCRAT, citizen of Indiana, at
one of our city banks few days since,
gave it rs his confident opinion that the
Democrats will carry Indiana. He also
declared his belief that it will cause a
decline in government securities. He
acted upon his opinion by selling
through the said bank, S25,O0O in gov
ernment bonds. This has come to us di4'
rect, but neither bankers nor Democrats.
like to have their names advertised in
such affairs. 1t is pleasing exhibition
of Democratic partyism. A responsible
citizen, who thinks the success of his
party will endanger the public credit,
cleaves to his party all the same, but
sells out his investment in the public
credit Gin. GaZ.

THE only Indication of General Han
cocks views on financial questions with
which he has favored the public is his
congratulatory dispatch to Plaisted on
his supposed election as Governor of
Maine. OF course the General would not
congratulate Greenback lunatic on his
success if he didn't sympathize with his
opinions. Plaisted had put himself on
record as opposed to the system which
would trim the currency of the country
to specie basis;" in other words, he is
opposed to resumption, which has been
of incalculable benefit to the business
interests of the country, and would re-
verse the financial policy that has led
the country up to its present condition
of general prosperity. A vote for Han
cock therefore means the Generalization
of our financial system.

EX-SENATOR DOoLITTLE made a
Democratic speech at Toledo last week,
and gave the usual exhibition that Dem
ocratic politics require the sacrifice of all
conscience, and the practice of deliberate
fraud on the people with regard to their
graveSt interests. He said that the pay
ment of the Southern war claims was
forbidden by the 14th amendment Eve
ry man who enters into the work of the
Democratic campaign has to stand up
before the people and affirm this false
hood. Hancock himself does it in his
letters in answer to Democratic inquiries
on this question. He sends cuttings
from Democratic papers containing this
falsehood, and indorses it. The Ameri-
can people behold candidate for the
Presidency travelling on lie to throw
the people off their guard in matter of
vast Importance, and all the papers and
orators repeating the lie, and not one of
them believing it.

The "Bnterprise,'' the new coal cart
lately built for Messrs. Mills & Combs
has been purchased by Mr.. Thomas W.
Steward, and We had an opportunity
of seeing it work this morning. The
body ia placed in such a manner that
a large portion of the load is carried
on the back OF the horse, instead Of his
having to pull II after him and this is
claimed to be a great advantage. The
body Is also swung upon pivot and
when unloading can be raised to such
an altitude that coal can be delivered
into the average front window IL neces-
sary; another advantage that is claim
ed for 1t is that the body IAN be placed
on such an incline that coal can be
thrown from the end of the shute dis.
lance of fully fifteen feet, thus enabling
the driver to place the coal In a back
cellar where the cellars are double.
The delivery is also very clean, not
a lump having dropped on the pave
ment during the unloading this morn
ing. Mr.. Steward, has now added
full line OF coal to his other business
and is prepared to fiji all orders.
