IN commenting upon the an
nOuncenent that Ben Butler has
declared for Hancock. the "Balti-
more american" says: General
HancOck's platfoam, and, indeed,
his only plea for political perfer-
ment Is the course he pursued
after the war in throwing the
States of Louisiana and Texas
back into the hands of the Bour-
bon State Governments, thus act
ing in direct opposition to the
spirit and letter of the rec0nstruc-
ton acts passed by Congress. If
Ben Butler has forgotten how
hard he tried to deprive General
Hancock of his rank in the army
for his General Order No. 40,'
others have not, and he will have
Il task to explain how he can now
laud a candidate for the very acts
which few years ago he de.
bounced as little short OF trea-
SON."

e Specimen Fraud.

In the year 1853 the govern
ment paid 100000 for a site for
naval depot on Blythe Island,
near Brunswick, which was de-
clared to be the future great city
of Georgia. The island is waste
of sand banks and salt marshes,
and the men who secured $780,
600 for u site Tor the proposed de-
pot had recently paid but $4,000
for the whole island. The scheme
was a mObstrouS fraud, no naval
depUt being needed or possible
there, and the site was abandoned
soon after the $4,000 of plumber
had been divided. Senator
Toombs was the chief patron of
the scheme at Washington, al.
though Representative Seward,
OF Georgia, introduced the bill for
the appropriation, and as Chair
man of the Committee of Naval
Affairs gave it earnest support.
The sWindle was like that which
appropriated $25O.0O0 for a naval
station at Memphis, and expend.
ed nearly $2,O0O,O00 upon the in
stitution, which was afterward
abandoned. as utterly useless.
The swindle was executed under
the Administration and noses of
Presidents Pierce and Buchanan,
| and is d specimen fraud Of the
party which asks Change"
from the unimpeachable purity of
government as shown by the Re.
publican party under the Admin
iStration OF President Hayes. AS
a specimen Democratic fraud it
will serve to show the people
what to expect were the greedy
party lurking behind the Han
cock mask restored to power.

THE Initiation Of currency since
the resumption of specie pay
ments has been greater than dur,
ing the same time in any former
period OF the cOuntry's history.
Besides, it is an initiation which,
because it cheapens the purchas-
ing power of the whole volume of
the currency, so much the more
tends to the enhancement of the
nominal value of all property
other than money. This, in turn,
leads directly to increased impOr-
tations of foreign goods, and to a
greater degree than if we were
on paper basis; ia that case, the
high premium on gold and for
eign exchange would tend to
check importations. On the 1St
of July last there was sos, 0OO,-
900 more Of specie. United States
notes and bank notes in the pock-
cts of the people, and $40, 100000
more of coin and greenbacks in
the banks the year previous. This
is an increase of $147,000,00O of
currency circulation, to say moth
ing of the increase in merchantile
credits of all kinds, which. also
are used as a circulating medium.

The Situation in Florida.

cock is generally conceded by Re-
publican tigurers upon the chances
of the Presidential election, there
are still to be found a few SAN,
guine spirits who cherisl.-or pro-
TESS 10 cherish-a hope thai the
Southern piiaIanX viii be broken
1t one or two weak points in No
vember. w. ". Hicks, member
of the Republican National Com
mittee from Florida is one of
these hopeful optimists. He de.
clares that since the Chicago
nomination an almost unprece-
dAnted enthusiasm has been de-
veloped in his State for Garfield
and Arthur, and that there is a
good deal of quiet. dissatisfaction
among IL certain class of Demo
Gratis with the existing admins
tration of local affairs by that
party, more especially with its
course in regard to the school
laws. These laws, it is alleged,
the Democrats have tempered
with N =, ,,,aprnr ,,,h ;ob oy;poo.
hostility to popular education,
aud TO such an extent as to virtu-
ally abolish the American co,n-
mon school system in that State.
Mr.. Hicks declares that this
action in regard to the school
laws has been energeticalIy de.
nounced by d number of infuen-
tial Democratic papers. He adds
that there has since 1876 been a
considerable increase of the Re-
publican voting population by
emigration from the North.
All this sounds quite plausible;
and SO far as the statement Of
legged facts is concerned. there
is abundant reason for believing
that MIR. Hicks is quite correct.
It is well known that the emigra-
ton to Florida for the last tire :
or four years has been largely
IL epublican, and the local papers
show that there has been wide
spread dissatisfaction with the
course of the Democratic admin
istration with reference to the
common schools. There is, pr0b-
ably, very considerable Repub-
iican majority in the State. But
ii must be remembered that the
success of the Republican ticket
is not insured by that fact. The
whole political machinery is in
the hands of the Democrats. and
no one need be told what that
amounts to in the solid South.
There are many modes by which
the existing registration laws
may be used by the Democratic
officials who administer them, to
prevent a full registration by
their opponents. Moreover, even
if there were no obstacle to the
free deposit of the ballots, there
is no security for an honest count.
The truth is, and it is not wise to
shut our eyes to it in order to de.
Jude ourselves with false hopes.

The Irish Patriot.

Michael Davitt was receive d
with almost royal honors by his
cuuntrymen in San Francisco, on
Sunday. We give below short
sketch o! his life, as well as the
opening remarks TO his truly
great speech, which can be found
entire III the Post" OF Monday
evenings issue.
Michael Davitt has just passed
bis thirty.fourth year, aud he is
native of county Mayo, Ireland.
His connection with the land
movement is sad one, dating, as
it does, from the roof under
which he was born, his father
having been evicted while young
Davitt was still a lad, and the
family scattered ia their endeav-
ors TO seek a livelihood. Davitt
was apprenticed to d mechanic,
and while serving in that capacl.
ty lost his right arm. He subsa-
quently adopted the profession of
a journalist, and while in his na-
tive land correspondent for the
"Irish World" of New York, and
the Boston "Pilot," as Well as
several others of the home pa
pers. Shortly after lis release
from prison, some two years ago,
he visited this country. La 1870
he was tried for connection with
the reacti0nary movement in Ire
land, and was sentenced to fifteen
years penal servitude. Ee Was
released after having served seven
years and eight months, and it is
said during that time he was con.
fined within circuit Of loo
yards.

SOIREE COMPANY CONCERT.

We would call the attention of the
public to the concert of the Musical
Soiree Company which promises to be
one of the best entertainments of the
kind ever brought to this city. The
company were obliged to cancel their
engagement here about two weeks on
account of a fire in Fort Howard which
destroyed all their music, wardrobe and
some of their instruments, and now,
having somewhat recovered from the
severe blow, are prepared to fill their
engagement.
Miss Densmore, the soprano, has
created great enthusiasm wherever she
has appeared; she has high soprano
voice under perfect control and sings
high E with perfect ease. OF the other
members of the party, Mr.. Hutchins is
so favorably known throughout the west,
that it is hardly necessary to say more
about his brilliant playing. Mr.. Troll,
the violinist, a pupil of the Royal Acade-
mical High School of Music in Berlin,
Germany, has but recently come to this
country and hes already made quite a
name in artistic circles.
If you wish to hear a first class con-
cert, do not fail to go to Turner Hall this
evening. Reserved seats for sale at A.
Piening's book store.
