One cannot but admire the courage of the
Republicans of the With Mississippi Congress
ional District. This is the famous shoe string
district which tho notorious General Chalmers
has succeeded in carrying of late by means Of
the most shameless fraud and bulldozing.
The Republicans have determined to make an
attempt to recover it, and have nominated
John II Lynch, who represented them in
Congress before the days of the shot gun. In
bis letter of acceptance he tells the Democrats
some unpalatable truths. He recites the
means taken to suppress the Republican vote
and challenges anyone TO refate his state
ments. The menace of Solid South, he de-
clares, will always be met by . Solid North,
and until the former concludes to allow free
and untrammelled expression of opinion at the
polls there will be sectional issue of which
the South has no right to complain, The
no attempt to defend its. party from Mr..
Lynch's charges.

Now we would not ike to believe that the
editor really believes all he says and yet we
esteem him an honest man.
Does not the editor of the Democrat think
it strange that this man, Garfield, that he es-
teens morally deprayed and dishonest, is
thought best Of by those who know him best /;
and that the unprecedented sight is seen, OF

During the Greeley campaign, the DEM
ocrats played the game Of " brag " to perfec-
tion. Big stories were told Of the number of
Republicans who had declared for Greeley.
1t was boosted that therewere tifty Republi-
cans in Lambertville that would vote for him.
But the counting of the votes showed how
utterly false these assertions were The same
game of brag is again being played We are
told that over in Bucks county it is reported
that there are fifty Republicans in this city
who will vote for Hancock. We are safe in
making the assertion that their are not five
In fact, after careful inquiry, we hear of but
one and to offset this we know of at least
six Democrats in this city who will vote for
Garfield. AS to other places, the same con-
dition of things exists. The Democratic
sheets have boasted Of Hancocix's strength in
his old home in Montgomery Co.. Pa, and es-
pecialiy at Norristown, aud claim that hun
dreds Of Republicans win vote for him. Two
gentlemen from that county, both of them

Garfield swears he never agreed to receive
any Credit Mobiier stock, and 10 this he is
contradicted only by Ames. Why the Poland
Committee assumed so positively that Gar

evidence is contradictory in itself and Gar
fields is consistent, we cannot tell, anymore
than we can tell why intelligent juries some
times render verdicts the opposite of the evil
dence. There is this to be added to Garfeld's
testimony, that Judge Black, whose Democra
cy and honesty will not be questioned, states
that Garfield told him the same story yea
or two before the exposure of the Credi

time when every available man, black
and white, was needed at the front"
Gen. Lee Endorsed it on the 9th, and
it was returned to Adjutant Newman
too late to be made ofanyiservice. On the
I'd of April, week later. the Adjutant
was captured at Fort Gregg. near
Petersburg, having this document and
other important official papers in his
possession. Of the 265 gallant Con-
federates who manned that ill-starred
fort on the morning of that day but
thirty-four survivors came out of the
bloody contest for its defense.
Major Newman says he saved his
official papers by hiding them in the
lining of his hat, where they safely lay
hid from detection during his three
months captivity on Johnsons Island,
in Lake Erie. to which point the pris-
oners were taken. This document was
drawn up very soon after the Cohfede-
orizing the outlining of negroes for
military purposes. Step by step it
passed from the regiment to General
Lee, at each step promptly receiving
the endorsement of the brigade, divi-
sion or corps commander. General
Lee, however, not only '.commends
the spirit displayed by the regiment"
in setting the ball in motion, but sug-
gests, officially, how the colorel troops
should be organized and assigned to
duty. Gen. C. NJ. Wilcox and Gen.
Harry Heth had approved the docu-
ment before Gen. Lees Endorsement
was made, yet, report says, there would
have been scarcely any opposition from
any source to the plan proposed by
their great and honored chieftain.
Other regiments beside this one fav-
ored the utilizing of negroes for mill
tary purposes" but to Adjutant New
man and the Forty-ninth Georgia regi-
ment was due the credit of promptly
putting into operation the action of the
Confed crate Congress on this subject,
although too late to reach II final con-
summation before the surrender. which
occurred within fortnight after the
document was approved by Gen. Lee.

SWISS GUIDEs.-A genuine Swiss
guide must be born to his calling. He
is a guide from his earliest youth, and
can scarcely recount the number of
times he has been on many of the most
dangerous peaks. His home is perhaps
a lonely village. where the snow may
fall in midsummer, and where poverty
stood godfather by his cradle. During
the warmer season his playground was
the little spot of turf that surrounded
his native cabin, and in the forest be-
hind it there were continual dangers
threatening his boy life--the wild rush
Of the mountain torrent, or the sudden
fall Of rocks or earth threatening to
crush or overwhelm him. But it is war
and not peace that makes heroes, and
SO all these dangers of his youth in
sensibly reared him to be a genuine
son of the Alps, and shaped his strength
for the dangers to be encountered
among them. His brother, perhaps,
may have been more successful, for it
is the ambition Of the poor Swiss family
to have one member that may have
lived awhile in some peighboring town
and learned the secret OF the confec-
toners art, for the Swiss are skillful in
the preparation of sweets and pastry,
and can make delicate cup of coffee
or chocolate. But the mountain boy
never tastes these delicacies; but grows
strong among the peaks. nourished
only by the coarest fare. His ambition
is to go wherever the chamois can make
its way, and in so doing he forms a su-
preme contempt for the greatest dan
gers. Among the precipices he knows
no such ideas as steep or irupged or
inaccessible. He is accustomed to the
grandeur and majesty of the Alpine
world, at which we gaze with awe and
terror, so that where others tremble
with fear he is perfectly at home.
