Barnum as Censor?

Mr.. WIN. H. Barnum, having failed to buy
Democratic majority in Indiana, is now
bawling against Republican corruption AS
proof of his charge, he publishes two kilograms
sent him by mistake in pile of dispatches
for which he was to pay as Chairman of the
Democratic Committee, One OF these was as
follows:
New York, Oct 10, 1880.
To F. w. WICKER, Collector Key West Fla.
City Of Dallas took $50, State of Texas 100,
Colorado 100 for Key West Men on dock in
structed to say nothing about it.
MARSHALL JEWELL
This dispatch is assumed to refer to Repub-
lican repeaters Mr.. Jewell explains the mat
ter by publication Of other notes and tele-
grams showing that, having learned that some
200 or 800 men had been sent from New York
ostensibly to work on a Florida railroad, he
telegraphed the Collector at Key West to be
on the look out for these men, of whom he
says, ut looks to me as though they were
sent to Key West to vote" Mr.. Jewell seems
to have been mistaken in his suspicion. but
the kilograms, taken as a whole, bear no such
Interpretation as Mr.. Barnum drew from the
single dispatch published above. Another of
these dispatches reads as follows:
1 New YORK. Oct. 10, 1880. :.
To CHARLRsJ j. MOVES, care eff H.JENKINs, .jr.,
Jacksonville. Fta,.:
1telegraphed yesterday will provide, as
requested, $500 each for Calender and your
self as compensation.
MARSHALL JEWELL.
The foregoing has reference to the pay oftwo
speakers canvassing in Florida.
Another campaign hoax is letter purport-
ed to be written by Garfield to III. L. Morey,
Employers Union, Lynn, Mass" regarding
the employment of Chinese. This letter Mr..
Garfield pronounces forgery, and Lynn bus
mess men are out with a card denying that
there was ever any Employers Union" there,
or that they had ever known any III. L
Morey." Experts declare the letter a very
clumsy forgery. Still Mr.. Barnum adyertises
the letter as Garfield's ''death warrant"
We wonder that man of Mr. Barnums DO
litical experience should rely on such shallow
campaign tricks as these. They can hardly
be expected to deceive his own party, still less
the Republicans they are apparently intended
to affect. People are very suspicious, at best,
of eleventh hour politica. exposures; and, re-
Numbering as we cannot help doing, the
source frem which they emanate. these are still
less likely to carly weight. William H. Bar.

Gen. Wade Hampton has not been fortu-
nate In the present campaign. A hot speech
OF his was first reported from Virginia which
furnished valuable texts for the northern pa.
pers, and occasioned no little trouble to his
Democratic friends here Then followed a
denial on his part; and, in a short time, several
statements of reporters denying the denial. A
question of vcracity is always disagreeable; ;
and, though candid people might readily be-
lieVe that this discrepancy of statement was
not due to Intentional Misrepresentation on
either side, the Traces was one that Gen.
Hampton must have found very annoying
Recently he took offence at speech of Sec
Sherman's, connecting him with the Ku Klux
raiders in the suppression of the colored vote
OF his state. In reply to his letter of inquiry
MIR. Sherman stated that he considered Gen.
Hampton responsible for the Ku Klux inter.
ference with negro suffrage in South Carolina
because he had profited by it, and had risen to
high office through it. Whether this is a fair
inference from the facts may perhaps be
questioned, but we see no justification for
Hampton's thereupon denouncing Sherman as
liar; and, in effect, challenging him to Fight
duel. No northern gentleman will meet q
Southern one in any such way. Gen. Hamp-
ton must know this; and his challenge puts
him in the wrong at once with two thirds at
least of the intelligent citizens of the Union.
Our own belief has always been that Hampton
was less of f1re-eater, less compromised with
the doings of the Ku Klux, than almost any
prominent Southerner. But the effect of the
unfortunate part he has taken in the present
campaign will be to give Northern people
generally the notion that he is sort of resur-
rected Bob Tombs spelling" for another
fight for the restoration of slavery.
