Senator Bayard addressed large Demo-
cratic mass meeting in the Academy OF
Music, Baltimore, Friday night and was re
ceived with an enthusiasm that recalled
the magnificent ovation given to him few
weeks ago in Philadelphia. Mr.. Bayard
spoke for nearly two hours upon the cur

followed by General Charles f Phelps
and Hon. Robert NJ McIane. The latter
speaker devoted his entire address to a
brilliant eulogy of Senator Bayard and said
be had in addressing the meeting, set before
the people in language stronger than
they had perhaps before heard the vital
issues of this momentous campaign. He
said there was hardly a man in the large
assembly who had not hoped, when the
national nominating convention met, that
Mr.. Bayard would be their candidate.
Tremendous applause This ser timent,
ne said, will not detraet from their earnest
and loyal support Of General Hancock.
Mr.. McLsne moved that the heartfelt
thanks of the meeting be given to Mr..
Bayard for the manner in which he had
spoken for the Democratic candidates,
Hancock and English. The motion was
put by Mr.. Steele aud carried by volume
of approval from the auditors that
sounded like mighty whirlwind. Deaf
euing cheers followed and every man rose
to his feet. Mr.. Bayard stood and bowed
again and again. At length he advanced
to the stand, and when silence was restored

Evidence OF Il High state of Civiii-
cation in the Campo Country.
San Diego Union
Nj. S. Root. of this city, gentleman
whose veracity will not be questioned in
this community, gives us the following
statement OF a scene which he witnessed
short time since in the eastern portion OF
this county II was al Campo on October
LIST. An indian had been found guilty of
breaking into the house of MIR. Herrick
and stealing some blankets. He was tried
before Justice OF the Peace Gaskill and
turned over to the old Indian Alcalde and
six chiefs for punishment. They SEN
fenced him to receive 100 lashes. They
were Just getting ready to tie him up as
started for dinner after putting out my
team, The prisoner was large young
man, six feet high and well proportional.
He WAS tied up by the wrists with q long
rope, and the rope was passed through
the springs of high seat on one side of
wagon and over the other side, the victim
being drawn up so that his feet would just
touch the ground. His feet were spread
aud each tied to the wagon-spokes, and
his body was tied at the hips. His shirt
was removed, and then stalwart
Indian administered the punishment with
leather lariat, by whirllng it around his
head and bringing it down with his utmost
force upon the naked body of the prisoner.
The blood poured from the writing mans
back. After Q strong man had admins
tered 30 strokes he was 80 exhausted by
the task that he gave way to another tiend,
younger aud more muscular Indian, who
continued the infamous torture. Fifty
lsshes had already been laid on, and the
young devil continued to cut into the flesh
OF the prisoner - times more. / spare a
recital of the awful shrieks and cries of
the poor, tortured creature When the
100 lashes had been thus administered the
Indian Alcslde told the almost dying man
to leave the country, or be would be hung
if he ever came back. MIR. Gaskill says
"After one of these Indians has been
whipped once he never will steal again it
makes good Indian of him. This pris.
oner, when let down, fell to the ground,
and could not move without support from
his sister"

Nor OF THAT PARrY.-Gen. A. T. A.
Torbert. of the old Second New Jersey Bril-
gade writes as follows to the New York
Times.
am informed that some of the New York
papers, among others the World, have pub
lisbed that have been elected member OF
the National Committee for the Hancock
Veterans, and. / have to say that such action
has been taken without my knowledge, for
however much I may like Gen. Hancock per-
sonally, am not a member of the party
which has placed him in nomination.

Milford, Del, Tuesday, July 81, 1880.
Among the Republican converts" to
Hancock, Dragged about by the Democratic
press, was Gen. Bolton, of Norristown, Pa.
Btit this gallant Sotuier writes pungenb let-
ter to the Philadelphia Times, whose CORES
pendent had first announced the alleged con-
version, Indignantly denying the story. He
says !" No, sir | have not forgotten that l
was a II ireling, and should have been dis
franehsed ii this same party had had their
will, and the army would have been starved
out. | can yet see the broad grim that would
creep over their faces at our reverses."
One of the tricks of the Democracy is to
claim that this or that prominent Republican
is going to vote for Hancock, and to. parade
his name in the newspapers as distinguished
convert to Democracy. The name will travel
the rounds OF the press before the eyes of the
person whose name Is mentioned can see it,and
the authorized contradiction is seldom seen..
At the New York Democratic ratification
meeting on Wednesday evening, the name of
the President of the Gallatin National Bank
of New York was used and published as one
of the Vice Presidents, notwithstanding he
had expressly forbidden its use. On Thurs
day afternoon the following card appeared in
the Ecening Post:
To the Editors of tie Eoening Post.
My name appears in the World of this
morning as one of the vice presidents of the

have IL SO used. BY kindly publishing this
note you will very much oblige,

The Democratic majority in Alabama Is
sad to be 60,O00 1t is probably more than
that unless the modesty of the Returning
Board should induce them to cut it down. t.
is a mere question for the State, problem IN
arithmetic. Counties which IN 1876 had only
1000 voters now give Democratic majority
of 1000. Etovah county, in the Black Belt,
gave 900 Democratic majority four years
ago on an aggregate vote Of a little over II
900. Now it gives 1900 Democratic majority
more votes than there are in the county
Lowndes county is pretty solid. It has re-
versed Republican majority Of 2, 400, and
made it !, POO Democratic.
The Democrats in Congress have voted ex-
travagant pensions to Union soldiers, but in
doing 80 they refused to employ the necessary
force of clerks to examine so large number
of claims, and also refused the money TO pay
them when they were allowed. As to the pen-
sioners, the men upon whom legal claims
have been bestowed, they are compelled to
wait for their pay from eight to- eighteen
months after their claims are audited, in adj
ditiun to the fifteen years which have elapsed
since the claims accrued, the responsibility
being entirely due to the refusal of the Dem
ocrats in Congress to provide for them. The
claims are being audited at the rate of 10000
per annum. Most of these claims are unfair,
are to be made the excuse for a general PEN
sion law for all Confederates.
South Carolina says, through her State
Democratic Committee, the white skinned
man who joins the party of the Republicans
should be social leper, Stunned. despised,
and hated. We mean that the white-skinned
man or the negro who deliberately enters the
fight for the radical ticket will do so with the
understanding that he will hereafter receive
no favor or recognition from white men. Let
them understand that there will be no employ
ment for them that there will be no credit
given to them !; that from them the last far

Wade Hampton made speech at Staunton,
Va, recently, ia the interest of Democratic
harmony. He besought the opposing factions
to reconcile their differences and thus insure
Solid South for Hancock. His remarks
were earnest and fervidy and led gradually up
to a thrilling climax. Strange as it may ap-
pear, The World newspaper reproduces the
whole of the speech except the climax, there
by doing great injustice to Hampton's rhetor-
ical abilities, as well as destroying the force
of the speech. Here are the eliminated sem
fences: Consider what Lee and Jackson
would do were they alive. These are the same
principles for scAich they fought for fosr yscvs.
Remember the men Who poured forth their
life blood on Virginia soil, and do not aban-
don them now" Probably The World cut
out these fiery sentences in the interest of
reconciliation, /" for 1t cannot be denied that
they have a sectional squint.

Tho editor Of the Hunterdon Democrat
says he has been taught to "call things by
their right Names, He is the more mex Gus
able, therefore, for attempting to palm off on
his readers editorial opinions from New York
dailies as evidence Ia the Credit Mobilier
case. " 81 eHsn
He confesses his failure last week by this
week giving us small piece of evidence, and
judging from his Boosting, be thinks that ev-
idence is squelching." What he set out to
prove is "that Garfield sold his honor for
$780," The testimony which he gives is that
of Cakes Anes, to the effect that he got Gar
field ten shares of Credit Mobiier stock, = for
which he was paid par aud interest
Granting that to be true (Which we
do not ii does not prove the assertis q
that he thereby +" sold his honor" On the
contrary. the Poland Committee, composed
of Democrats and Republicans, reported that
.lbey do not find that either of the above
named gentlemen IN contracting with M.
Ames hal any corrupt motive or purpose

Nor did eilhefof Them suppose he was guilty
of any improperly oreven indelioacy in be-
coming purchaser Of stock' qn sxs9 aa &
Mr.. Garfield, however, denies that he ever
agretd TO take The stock, and, although Mr..
Ames swore 10 the evidence published by the
Democrat, be on another occasion during the
examination swore as follows s. He [Gar.
field did not pay for or receive it." On the
cross examination he said "Mess,s. Kelley
and Garfield never paid for their stock aud
never received their dividends" Thus Ames
contradicts himself under oath.
The editor of the Democrat has miserably
failed to prove his assertion. aa
AS he has been taught to call things by
their right pames win he please tell us what
