GENERAL GARFIELD'S FITNESS.

A writer IN the August number of The
atlantic Monthly discusses with intelligence
and fairness the qualifications OF General Car
field for the Presidency, and the probable char
actcr of his administration in case he should be
elected. The clear, consistent and admirable
record of the Republican candidate on all ques-
tions concerning the public credit and the cur
rency which is without n flaw in the entire
seventeen years Of active Congressional work
it covers, his close study of the history
and science of political economy and national
finance, and his thorough knowledge of
the industries and commerce of the coun-
try, are cited as evidences that the
national honor and the interests of business;
will be safe in his hands. Few of our states
men, says the writer, are rs familiar with the
resources OF the United States and what has
been done TO utilize them, and no one is more
competent TO give wise direction TO Govern
mcnt policy In all its constitutional avenues of
activity for their further Development The

Vermont and Maine have the honor and the
grave responsibility of leading the Republican
hosts In those States the voice of the loyal
North will first be heard. 1t rests with them to
be first to say what the people think of the in
famous frauds by which free government has
been destroyed at the South and assaIled in
Maine. Even in New England State, had the
Democratic party succeeded. elections would
have become henceforth shameful farce,
even as in Alabama. Also, with Vermont and
Maine it rests to be first to say what the people
think of the bright prosperity which Republi-
can honesty and wisdom have brought, and of
the Change" which Democrats demand
Vermont votes four weeks from tomorrow.
and Maine on the Monday following, September
13. The Republicans of those States have but
four or five weeks in which to complete their
preparation for elections which may change
the whole history of the country for many years
10 come. The effect of elections in these
States upon public opinion elsewhere is always
great. But this year 1T will be greater than
usual, because of the peculiar nature and ex
ceeding Importance of the questions at issue. II
Vermont and Maine do not sternly rebuke the
stealing of States and the attempt of the Solid
South to grasp control of the Gov eminent
which it tried to destroy, and do not sustain the
policy by which prosperity has been restored
to the country, there will be much reason to
fear that the people of other States may sink
into apathetic acquiescence III results appa-
rcntly inevitable. Swelling majoritcs, rolling
up to the higl-water mark of old-tIme Repub-
lcanism, ought 10 bear witness that the people
of Vermont and Maine do not look upon the
issues now raised with Indifference.
Wade Hampton made his boast at the Con-
vention and his speech in Virginia to the

4 COMMON ulNGER

The Southern Republicans mt the meeting on
Thursday all spoke with emphasis on the i'm
portance of encouraging and sustaining the
cOlored voters, who have, by the hasty and
faulty reconstruction Of the Southern States
been placed at the mercy OF their Democratic
rulers and former masters. They spoke with
neither too much force nor feeling. for the
situation Of the black voters in the South is
most deplorable, and the duty Of the party at
the North to aid in rcscuing them from their
peril Is imperative. IL cannot be shIked with
honor nor eyaded without danger 10 the Re-
publican organization. As to how that duty
may be done men may honestly differ; but
that it nluSt he recognized and performed if
the party is TO command the respect necessary
10 its successful existence no one will doubt
40 Republican at the North Of any sense
or integrity for a moment cOntemplates
the abandonment OF the Southern Repub-
Hcans and the fears Of some Of the speakers
at tie conference may be dismissed. and
should certainly be discouraged, as unfounded.
Unquestionably the result OF the reconstIuc-
ton measures has ia some degree justified, az it
suggested, these fears. The giving OF the rebel
States at once into the hands of the rebels.
without guarantee OF the good faith which
they so urgently protested, has bound the

black Republicans In majority oil TIT oou'n
ern States hand and foot IL has subjected
tbem to violence and fraud in every form.
At first She grosser forms of violence
committed by the Ku-Klux and other ma
rauding bands prevailed, until the wiser OF
their leaders foresaw that in the end the pnr-
sunnce of that policy would provoke Federal
Interference by Congress OF the Executive,
and so stopped it. The shotgun policy which
followed has only lately given way to the
milder but equally effective methods OF the
tissue ballot aud falsfed returns. This, the
prevailing form of Democratic fraud they
learned from their Northern allcs, and 1t must
b. admitted in all candor that they have i'm
proved upon the lesson. SO long as the State
Governments remain in the hands of rulers who
will neither stop these Outrages Themselves
nor call upon the General Government to In
terfcrp, the only support and relief to when
orr Southern friends can look must come from
the Republican party and that sympathy ana
support they can confidently depend upon. for
good faith in this matter is necessary TO the
existence and integrity Of the party itself.
And also necessary to its safety as Ma
tionnl organization. One Of the grayest dan
gers to be anticipated from the success OF the
Democratic party, and one which has been too
little commented on, is the extension Of the
Southern local methods of intimidation and
fraud even to other States. ii under Gov
crnors and other State officers at the
South such terrible outraces and gross
frauds are possible, and the General Gov
eminent cannot consttutionally interfere
to prevent or give relief what is it not pos
l. ha Loo
and the Executive officers are under Demo-
cratic control, and there is neither call nor
inclination to Interpcse the strong arm OF t1"
Government Unques'ionably but for fear OF
Executive interference the outrages OF the
Ku-Klux would to-day be as general all over the
South as they formerly were. The election
Of Democratic President would instantly re-
yive all those horrors. Who does not believe
that in the exultation which would follow the
CAPTURE OF the General Goyernment-and this
would be the construction which the Rebel
Bigadicrs would put upon success this fall
Che black and white Republicans Of the South
would again become the helpless victims of
maraudiny blnd,l Whoever does not suspect
that in the North the frauds perpotrated years
ago. and which constant vigilance and
persistent prosecution have but lately sup
pressed, VIII he revived, does not recOS nze
the recllcssness and the dishonesty of the
Democratic party. The success Of General
Hancock in November next means just this.
Outrage at the South and fraud at the North
will be revived and he will be poweress,
even if inclined to interfere. The only safety
to both sections lies in the success OF the party
which gave liberty and owes protection to the
blacks, and which suppressed fraud at the
Northern polls.

MR. ENGLISH AND PRESTON s. BROOKS

MIR. ENGLISH AND PRESTON s. BROOKS
What between wiful pcrversions Of fact and
dull ignorance of political history the new
generation of Democratic editors are making
sad work of ii. Ii is not strange, perhaps,
that they do know so little Of the
record OF these twenty-five years past III
which slavery has been halted, driven back,
beaten down and stamped out, for none of
the glorics of it are theirs. 1t is a story of
successive Democratic disasters and defeats
that affords them little entertainment, though
it might furnish instruction, could they
read it intclligently and with the in
tent to profit 10y it. But being ig-
norant, they should at least keep silence
above all things they should not venture into
controversy. Bat here is Democratic news
paper, published in intelligent NewEngland
and in NewIIaven, a university town at that
putting in a denial Of the statement that
William II. English voted against the ex-
pulsion of Preston S. Brooks for the assault
upon Senator Sumner, because, it says, it was
simply impossible, English being a member
of the House and Brooks Senator. Hence.
in high glee at being able easily to put
down n campaign SANDER, it says the story
" will not wash.n
The Democratic editors ignorance of history
combined with his superserviceable zeal has
accordingly furnished his opponents the Oppor
tunity for bringing ont the facts and making
Mr. English's record in the matter conspicuous
when the lapse of time might otherwise have
permitted it to have remained happily OBJ
scure. The truth about it is that English and
Brooks were both members of the House, and
that ha n N for
the expulsion of Brooks, the facts hav-
ing been officially brought to the knowl
edge of the House by communication from
the Senate reciting the facts and declaring
the assault to be breach of the privilege OF
the Senate which that body could not punish,
the offender not being Senator. The vote
to expel Brooks failed of the necessary two
thirds, Mr.. English, of Indiana, voting Nay.
More than this Mr.. English saw moth
ing in the brutal and cOwardIy assault
to disapprove of, for he voted against the res
olution of diSapprobation which was intro
duced after the failure Of the resolution to
expel. These things happened so long ago
that they might fairly BE- considered outlawcd
under the statute OF limitations which public
policy comedies by common consent to polti-
cal offences but the 0ver-eaSerness of the
Democratic newspaper referred to has brought |
the matter INTO prominence and made it |
necessary TO give the subject an airing.
If we may be permitted word OF advice to
Democratic editors, we should suggest to them |
that as in the nature of things Republicans |
are more familiar with the history of the past |
twenty-five years than they are. from having |
mere reason to dwell on it with pride and |
satisfaction, they would do well to exercise a |
little care in examining and verifying their |
before venturing into controversy |
upon points of political history.

General Garield's tour ended yesterday as
il began last week, amid the hearty greetings
of large gatherings of people assembled at the
railway stations he passed, to do honor to him
and the cause he represents. His speech at
Chautauqua was the longest and probably the
best he made during his journey 1t was elo-
quent, thoughtful lofty in tone and entirely
appropriate to the place and the audience.
The trip to New-YOrk, undertaken for the
purpose only Of meeting the Republican lead
ers at the conference, and with no thought of
cliciting public demonstrations, has unques
tionably strengthened General Garfield's can
dldacy. The people turned ont spontaneously
to greet him in such masses that the working
politicians were amazed. They had not looked
for any such evidences of Republican vigOr
and enthusiasm in the dog days. Then the
men who came in personal contact with him
found that all they had heard of his mani-
ness, heartiness and intellectual force was not
in the least exaggerated and their zeal for
the candidate has become intensified by their
liking for the man.

principles affirmed by is last National Con
yention, of respect for the constitutional rules
covering appointments to office, adopt the
declaration Of President Hayes. that the re-
form OF The civil service should be thorough,
