Christian statesmen at Chautauqua.

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion meeting at Chautauqua, yesterday
afternoon, was large one, It is said
that fully 10, 900 persons were present.
The meeting was also one of excep-
tional interest. The 10000 spectators
were treated to rare exhibition Of
Christian craftsmanship in the persons
of Schuyler Colfax and James A. Gar
field, who occupied conspicuous seats ON
the platform. Schuyler Colfax made o
speech. Garfield was not invited to
speak. This discrimination was not due
to any difference in the quality of Col
fax's Christian craftsmanship and Gar
fields. As the master of ceremonies
explained, it WAS because Garfield Is .
candidate for high Office, while Colfax
is not.
In this contrast lies the great interest
of the spectacle. Both Co1fax and Gar
field were bribed with Credit Mobilier
stock. They both received dividends
from Oakes Ames. They both swore, in
the name of God, that they had held no
stock and received no dividends. They
were both convicted of perjury as well
as of bribery, both denounced as bribe-
takers and periurers by the press of
their own party, and both equally de-
graded in the esteem of honest men.
But now Colfax is forgotten by the
greater part of his fellow-citizens, de-
spised by those who have not forgotten
him, and unnoticed except when he in
trudes his presence upon gatherings
similar in character to that at Chautau-
qua. Garfield is the candidate of the
Republican party for President of the
United States.
The "Christian craftsmanship Of
men like Colfax and Garfield is no blot
on Christianity. No one seeks to con-
meet the two things, except the hypo-
critics themselves, the ninnyhammers
who are imposed upon by cant, and the
malicious enemies of reigion.-Ne,o

whose chief offense in their eyes seems
to be that he is not member or sup
porter of any ring whatever, except the
civil service, which will divide the prof
its of violating the law with the party
which connives at its violations of the
law.
It is already evident that no effective
opposition to the Republican rings is to
be expected from Garfield, and that if he
were to be elected his administration
would be conducted exclusively in the
interests of the old set." The humil-
lating pledge which he gave in his letter
of acceptance, that he would not inter-
fere with the control of local patronage
by local " bosses" ought to have salts
fed I" the old set" as it will satisfy the
voters OF the country, on that point.
Even this humiliating pledge, however,
does not seem to have satisfied the old
set. Senator Conkling, though he is
understood to be in New York, has thus
lar taken pains not to be seen or heard

course, if Senator Conkling should here
after come out as an advocate of Gen.
Garfeld's election, it will be self-evi-
dent that he must have demanded of
Gen. Garfield and obtained from him
some more abject assurance of subser-
viency to the friends of Grant than even
the letter of acceptance furnishes.
1t is the intention of Gen. Mcdonald.
as expressed in the index of his forth
coming book, to supply "missing links
in the chain of evidence of James A.
Garield's implication with the District
of Columbia and the De Golyer bribery"
One of these links is already supplied by
the nature of Gen. Garfeld's present
errand in New York, if Gen. Mcdonald
is correct in his declaration that the
whisky frauds began with desire to
raise money for the party. Gen. Gar
field has come to New York, hat in hand,
to raise money for his own candidacy.
Before he gets through with his mission
he will probably be inclined to bewail
the lack of whisky ring, or some other
ring, which would raise money for him
without compelling him to such de-
vices, or pledging him to anything, ex-
cept to the shutting of his own eyes and
OF the eyes of his subordinates, if he
should ever take Executive Office, to the
means by which the amount of money
requisite to help him into office had
been secured.

[From the Chicago Daily News Qndependent Re-
pubhcan)l
There has been decided change in
public sentiment regarding the infamous
bloody-shirt business during the past
few months. The people of the North
are beginning to realize that the Repub-
ican party organs have made it point
to misrepresent that section of our COM
mon country which Lies below Mason
and Dixon's line. Nothing could have
brought these Misrepresentation to
light So plainly as. tho consus which is
now being taken. Instead OF stagnation,
ruin and desolation in the South, the
census will show that nearly every
Southern State has increased wonder
fully in population and in wealth during
the past decade. It will show that vii
lagos have become towns, and towns
have become cities that manufacturing
industries have been developed accord
ingly, and that the people are prosper
GUS and personally happy. The facts
show that there is not village, town or
city in the South scarcely, unless per-
haps it is in the backwoods of Missis-
sippi, where Northern men are not work.
ing hand-in-hand with Southern men
in the pursuit of wealth and happi-
ness. Life and prosperity are as we'll
protected in Alabama as they are in nli-
nois or New York. The Southern people
have gone cut of politics and into bust
ness. They have very little interest in
the Presidential race, beyond that which
all American citizens ought to have. If
Mr. Garfield is elected. well and good
If Gen. Hancock is elected, well and
good. Anybody will do, so long as the
South is allowed to attend peaceably to
its business. The people of the South
are spending millions of money annual
| ly with the business men of the North.
| Chicago has an immense Southern trade
so has Cincinnati, so has Boston, so
has New York. The merchants, manu-
facturers, bankers and business men
generally of the North are more deeply
| interested in the general prosperity OF
the country than they are in the success
or failure of professional politicians OF
either party. The people of the North

is strong feeling in the land that the
bloody shirt must be laid aside at once
and forever. For the good of the whole
country this cannot happen too soon.
If the war settled anything, it was that
the Union should be maintained at all
hazards. 1t was not intended to be
maintained by one section continually
blackgnarding, misrepresenting, insult.

party of the bloody shirt must stant
aside and let the nation, or whatever il
is, prosper and become great.

Nast,s Sore Thumb.

A correspondent in the New York
World indicates why it is that Mr..
Thomas Mast, cartoonist, has terribly
sore thumb in this campaign. He says
that, in double-page cartoon in Har-
per's Weekly for March Is, 1873, Mr..
Mast pictured Mr.. Garfield and other
Credit Mobilierites under placard
reading:
Disgraced in the eyes Of the public for
owning Credit Mobilier stock, which was,
in fact and intent, q fraud upon the Gov
ernment Also, for deceit and evasion.

4 GROUNDWORK FOR BELIEF.-The
American people fully believe in Hostetter' 5
Stomach Bitters, and there is substantial
groundwork for that belief. They have
witnessed and experienced its effects for
over twenty-five years, and have found no
reason to distrust one statement made in re-
gard to it. Proofs have been brought
home to their own hearths that it is fam
lily medicine which is of the utmost value
in cases Of malaria, dyspepsia, debility, dis
ordered conditions OF the liver and bowels,
and in variety OF other maladies. They
have found it competent tonic, genuine
Alternative, and in contrasting it with the
many preparations of the same class in the
market, they have willingly accorded it the
palm. The correctness of their belief in
its efficacy has received the strongest con-
firmation in expressions of opinion by medi,
cal men, and the approval Of the press.

THE best half of this week has been con-
sumed, or worse, wasted, in a fruitless
wrangle between the free traders and pro-
tectionists. There has been much fillibus-
tering, and development of bad feeling
between the two parties, and even between
individual members of the same party,
The contending factions were lead respect
lively by Messrs. Blackburn and Garfield.
The deadlock was broken by sort of a
compromise, which will enable both the be-
ligerents to claim a victory, but which, to
an unbiased looker-on, seems simply a
drawn battle. The protectionists and free
traders, as was shown by test vote, do not
divide on party lines. Discussion has been
silenced for this session, but it Will doubt
less be burning question in the future.
The house, as at present constituted, is a
protection house. The same may be said
of the senate. The speaker of the house is
a high tariff man. But how it will be in
two years, when new caucus has given
the west an overwhelming preponderance
In International Legislature, it is not at all
difficult to surmise.

THE DAILY CAIRO BULLETINS FRIDAY MORNING, . 1880

Wallack and his company are at the Opera
House over on Eighth Avenue, playing
"My Awful Dad" The new Madison
Square Theatre, on Twenty.fourth street, in
the rear of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, with
its double stage, is mechanical, if not a
financial success. The performance, owing
TO the absence of all waits" does not be-
gin till $50 pm. The curtain is not down
more than two minutes between the acts,
the scene being set on the stage while the
performance is going on on the other.
We hear sad news of stormy seas and
wrecks, but the weather here is perfect, none
of US care to exchange 1t for the tabled
skies Of Italy. Nevertheless; | find that
many of my neighborS are talking already
of summer trips abroad, and it seems likely
that the transatlantic travel, when the
spring opens, will be larger than ever be-
fore. There is no exhibition, to be sure, of
any sort, to give our people an excuse for
going, but they are beginning to realize the
fact that there is a permanent exhibition
on the other side of the Atlantic, which
deserves their attention no less than any
accumulation of odds and ends in cases.
Europe itself is permanent exhibition of
considerable interest, and is one which
amply compensates the visitor for few
days of sea-sickness and sea food. It is
certainly to be hoped that the new steam
ships on the Atlantic, which cater to the
American public, will conform in greater
measure to their notions OF what q cabin
and table should be.

DURING the acrimonious controversy in
the house of congress over Townshend':
tariff bill, Speaker Randall's course wa:
severely and not undeseryedly criticised by
his free trade Democratic colleagues. Not
able among those who denounced him was
Mr.. Blackburn, of Kentucky. While this
gentleman was "handling the speaker
without gloves" few days ago, and dc.
claring him to be traitor TO the Demo.
cratic party, and hoping the party
would soon be happily rid OF
him, he was confronted by Mr.. Cotfroth, OF
Pennsylvania, who defended his colleague
and declared that the language of Mr.
Blackburn would justify him (Coffroth) in
striking him. Blackburn much enraged,
said: "Well, you have heard what | have
said, and if you mean to say it is not true,
you are liar" Bystanders prevented a
collision, and as Mr.. Coffroth moved away
he said to Blackburn: There is one
charge you cannot impute to him. He
never was traitor to his country" All of
which, in presidential year, forms tooth
some nuts for Republicans to crack, and is
most damaging to Democratic prospects.

ALL talk of unseating Senator Kellogg is
the veriest bosh. In the first place, it is
not party necessity, and in the second
place there are not dozen Democratic
senators who would vote to unseat the fell
low, if the proposition were submitted to-
morrow. 1t would be an act of bad faith
that no senator, who has an eye to the fu-
ture, dare commit. Let Kellogg alone.
He is one of those Republican chickens of
fraud that are morally certain to come
home to roost when the shadows of his
party's adversely come, if not sooner.

TIE present commissioner of patents,
like all his predecessors, has handed in his
resignation after very brief tenure of
Office. He expects, like all the commits
sioners who have gone before him, to go
into the practice of patent law. His resig-
nation is hailed with delight by the en-
ployes Of the patent Office, as we'll as by
inventors and their attorneys. Many new
and confusing changes have been intro
duced in the rules and practice during his
incumbency, and it is predicted that his
successor will have great deal to undo, to
get matters into satisfactory shape
again.
