An exchange very pertinently asks
what would be thought of crowd Of
men in the South who should run a
poor demented creature into river
and stone him until he drowned in the
attempt to escape, and all for taking
a bunch of grapes? And yet this was
done by mob recently in the enlight.
ened State of Pennsylvania. Why
will not partisan bigots in the North
recognize the fact that there is wicked
ness and deviltry in human nature
everywhere, and that they belong to
no special section Of our country.

Gov. Wilt, so the newspaper re-
porters state, has returned to the
Crescent City in the full enjoyment
of health. Though he does not seem
to have grown more tleshy, he looks
as vigorous and active as before the
severe illness, which had threatened
his existence for many weeks, at the
very time when the State needed his
services most. We hope to see the
Governor re-enter the field of his Ia
borious duties with the determined
spirit that characterizes him, that he
may apply his well known energy to
promote the welfare of the people.

ceived, through their authorized
representatives, the same reply. SO

Hon. L. John Ellis has lately proven
his devotion to the Democratic party
by q sacrifice that few men would
have made. There being q necessity
for Southern speakers at the North,
he abandonedhis canvass, for re-nom-
ination in his district and obeyed the
call, thus leaving the matter Of his re.
nomination in the hands of his friends
and the people. If he isnot re-nomi-
mated then there is no gratitude on
the part OF the people, for faithful and
efficient services.

REBEL AND YANKEE BRIGADIERs

hE6GL AMI 1ANh66 D140AOA1h0
The Republican campaign docu-
ments and the key note of the Garfield
orators, rest principally on the fact
that the solid South has sent host
of her tried soldiers to represent her
interests and sentiments in the Halls
ofthe National Congress.
This, the Republican party consid'
ers an outrage and menace to the
integrity of tho Union itself.
If Republicanism represented the
feelings that ought to animate the
population OF a section numbering
thirty-two millions, it would not be
alarmed in seeing that the representa-
tives of the other eighteen millions,
are principally men who feared neith-
cr to express their sentiments nor to
bear the brunt of battle in defending
them.
Generous, liberal minded men
would respect the South, the more,
for the reason that her people endorsed
and trusted the soldiers who had
shown their untlincbing devotion to
country in one of the most desperate
struggles recorded in the history of
the world.
The Republican party would have
u Union, wherein one of it's subdivi-
sions should spurn its heroic defend
ers!: 1t would have Virginia repudi-
ate the Lees and the Johnstons, South
Carolina her Hampton, Georgia her
her Gordon and numbers of others
whose names will be household words,
held up to rising generations as men
whose virtues and self-sacriticing pa
triotism shed a bright lustre upon the
records of their States.
Does England hold in contempt the
heroes numbered in her War of the
Roses for the reason that they fought
under this or that banner!
If the Northern people wanta Union
based on the consent of the governed,
they mnst allow the South to chose
as her representative those in whose
honesty and manly courage she can
rely most.
They cannot expect that Southern
men will disfranchise their fathers,
brothers or sons.
The war ended fifteen years ago
and It's high time that the dying en-
bers of it's animosities should be per-
mitted to become extinct.
The South on the contrary, fears not
the Brigadiers, whether they wore the
blue or the grey. Herpeoplelove brave
and loyal men; men who fight for Il
cause.they believed to be right.
1t is because such a feeling lives in
their hearts that they send the Briga-
diers to Congress, because the Briga-
diers in grey are their own kith and
kin and closest neighbors.
And in keeping with the ennobling
spirit that animates her SONS, Dixie
has chosen for President of the Am
erican Union that grand yankee Brig
adler, Winfield Scott Hancock.

INGERSOLL'S HOPE.
Modern Age

Ingersoll in recent lecture made the fol-
lowing beautiful remark;
VI would wish that their friends who bid
us good night in this world might meet
us with good morning there. Just so
long as we love one another we'll hope for
another world; lust as long as love kisses
the lips Of death will we believe and hope
for another world"
The hope that Springs immortal in the
human breast has not died in his. Years
ago he spoke no thought of life beyond
this world. But as he nears the shore OF
the mysterious ocean, he cannot cling to
the belief that it has no opposite bound
His gentle heart has taught him
better. That love which has kissed the
lips of his own dead refuses to let him
think that he will sec them again no more.
As friend after friend departs" the hui
man longing follows them, and teaches
even the atheist that there is n lovely world
to some.
We are told that animals show things by
instinct. We may believe that men and
women know things by intuition. We all
know that the idea of humiliation is the
most rcpulsive that ever came into our
head. and the one, of all Others
that never comes into our heart Among
"all sorts and conditions of men"-in oil
culture--in all heathcnism, not merely in
religion, but in morality and manly life,

MR.. TILDEN'S LETTER.
From the Courier.Journal

The letter of Mr.. Tilden TO the New
York delegation and to the Democratic ma
tional convention is SO pregnant with the
forces Of truth, true craftsmanship, true pa
triotlsm. that the enemies Of the great man
must pause in admiration before the object
Of their unceasing and malicious ISLANDERS.
The Republicans who have sought to
ruin him because he is greater and more
noble than they; because he came out Of
the smoke and din of the battle of 1875 u
victor, the successful champion Of the peo-
pie and their nights; because he alone, of
al men, was able to lead the Democratic
hosts into the strongbolds Of the pollutors
Of the temple Of liberty-thc Republicans
who fear and hate Mr.. Tildcn because Of
these things may mock the trcnchant letter,
but they feel the blade cut deep down into
their vitsls and they squirm as all cowardly
aseailsnts do in the presence Of great in.
npoccnce which they have attempted to
wound.

A HIGH-TARIFFITE.
THAT'S WHAT Mr.. GARFIELD Is.
Philadelphia News (High tariff

'h''""S'P"ae N'SVpNAAibh NiH'J
Hon. Russell Errett of Allegheny county
is probably as staunch q protectionist as
can be found in the state. A man Of in
telligence and Of positive convictions, he
was decidedly opposed to Mr.. Garfield
when the latter was candidate for speak
ership of the house because of his mem
bership in the Golden club. AS result of
correspondence on the subject, Mr.. Errett
examined his record, and was convinced
that he done him injustice. Yesterday, in
returning thanks for his third nomination
to congress- Mr.. Errett publicly ackRowl-
edged the important service rendered by
Mr.. Garfield during the session of
congress to the cause of protection.
He has done more than any
other man to defeat the schemes of the free
traders. His election as an honorary mem
Der Of the Golden club had nothing whatev-
er to do with the tariff. The compliment was
bestowed because of speech on finances,
by Mr.Garfeld. Representing protectionist
district in congress, he is not at all likely
to be unfaithful to this issue, and his fire.
quent reelection to congress is proof that
he is regarded by his own people as sound
on the tariff. His views, as the News
pointed out a few days since, exactly coin
eide with those of our most intelligent
protectionists in this state. He favors pro-
lection now, with the ultimate object of Sc
curing cheapness in manufactures and Of
reaching tree trade when it shall also be
equal trade. The people Of Pennsylvania
need never doubt the fidelity of General
Garfield to their views.

THE ORIGIN OF THE TERN OZARK
HORSE"


The origin of the term "iark horse" Is
explained in matter. offact way by the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Once upon time
there lived in Tennessee an old chap
named Sam Flynn, who traded in horses
and generally contrived to own speedy
nag or two which he used for racing pur-
poses whenever he could pick up soft
match" during his travels The best OF his
flyers was q coal black stallion named
Dusky Pete, who was almost thor
eughbred, and able to 60 in the
best of company, Flynn was accustomed
to saddle Pete when approaching a town
and ride him into it TO give the impression
that the animal was merely "a likely boss"
and not q flyer. One day he came TO a
town where q country race meeting was
being held, and he entered Pete among
the contestants. The people Of the town,
not knowing anything of his antecedents,
and, not being over impressed 10y his
appearance, backed two or three local
favoritcs heavily against him. Flynn NOV
ed quietly among the crowd, and
took all the bets against his nag, Just
as the "hyers' were being saddled for the
race old Judge McMinamee, who was the
turf oracle Of that part Of the state, arrived
on the course, and was made one of the
Judges. As he took his place in the stand
he was told how the betting ran, and of the
folly OF the owner of the strange entry in
backing his plug" so heavily Running
his eye over the ruck, the judge instantly
recognized Pete, and he said "Gentemen,
there's a dark horse in this race that will
make some of you smell h before sup
per-" The Judge was right. Pete, the
dark horse" lay back until the three
quarter pole was reached, when he went to
the front with rush, and won fhe purse
and Flynns bets with the greatest ease.
