should it not? l regret that do not feel ct
liberty to ask you to yield enough more
space to publish the complimentary notices
of MIR. Grace which appeared in the New
York dailies when he was nominated, partic-
ularly those of the Tribune, Graphic, Jour-
nat Of Commerce., Sun, and even the bio
grapher of the Herald. They would show
you that he is one of the merchant princes
of that city, whose fortune is estimated at
from i've to six millions, and, as stated by
the journal OF Commerce, gentleman "of
such nigh character and standing in bust
ness circles that petitions for the use Of his
name were signed by leading bankers and
business men of both parties.'' Speak
ing of his nomination, this paper
said: awe hope that the Republicans will

later years."
Liberal minded men will hardly be able
to see how the nomination of sucha gentle

reason than that "bigots have votes.' So
that, even if Mr.. Kelly had been instrument

he would not deserve the abuse which has
been heaped upon him for it. The votes
show that all who voted for Mr.. Grace voted
for Gen. Hancock and, therefore, to the
bigots and not to Mr.. Kelly must Gen. Han
cock and his friends charge his defeat. 1
venture to express the hope that hereafter
any more such condemnation of Mr.. Kelly
will be accompanied and based upon facts
specifically stated. JUSTICE.

The Republican Legislature of
Ohio has been in session over thirty
days, and we would like some one to
point to a single measure of impor-
lance or benefit to the people passed
by it. Half the time promised for
its session has been frittered away
in partisan wrangle to reorganize
the institutions and "vindicate' the

ton County, because he couldn't get

mar who gave it to him, had been
circulated quite extensively among
the colored people in North Carolina.
1t urges them to come to Indiana,
setting forth that it's climate was
healthful; that free schools for both
races were maintained; that there
were numerous colored churches,
and that here blacks and whites
stand equal before the law, and also
stating that thousands of good farm
hands, and house servants could
find employment at renumerative
wages, and especially urging those
who contemplated coming to do so
during the present summer and fall
(of 1879, SO Is to get located in
time to make contracts with farmers
next year."
1t has been shown that there is nc
employment for extra farm hands
and house servants in Indiana, sc
that the inducement held out was
pure buncombe. The arrangement
in the fall of 1879 SO as to "makt
their contracts" in good season ia
the work of longer heads than the
colored editor named. The pith Of
the whole scheme is contained il

The difference between Louisiana
in 1875 and Maine in 1879 was this:
In Louisiana Wells and the other
members of the Republican return
ing board altered, struck out and re
jected enough returns to reverse the
will of the people of the State. In
Maine, Garcelon and other members
of the returning board did not
change a figure, but they did refuse
to count a vote that was not made
in strict conformity to the require
ments Of the law. In Maine the
Supreme Court had decided Decem-
Der 22d, 1877: at is to be regretted
that votes are lost by the negligence
of town officers, but the obvious
remedy is to choose such as know
their duty and Knowing it will per-
form it. In Louisiana in 1875, after
full investigation the Wheeler Com
mittee reported the returning board
had no right to alter or change any
returns, except it was reported fraud
ulent by the Supervisor of the cleo
tion at the time.

There must be a change made in
our election laws, or republican
form of government is a failure.
Every election impresses this truth
more forcibly son the mind. The
question now is, not who will be
elected, but who will be counted in.
A man now sits in the White House,
with the brand of Fraud on his brow
and the thoughtburning in his heart
that he is a usurper. Clarkson N.
Potter was elected Lieut.. Governor
of New York, but another holds his
seat. In the State of Maine the
lawfully elected Legislature was
crowded out by a Rump and the de
c%isions of a partisan Supreme Court.
The Republicans of New York will
make a desperate effort to elect Pre-
sidential electors by Congressional
Districts, and thereby give the State
to the Republican nominee, although
it is Democratic. Instances multi
tiply. This is a day of Tissue Bal
lots" We must go back to simpler
methods and purer laws, or we per-
ish. We must vote vira voce. -,

There was a joint resolution offer
ed, in the Kentucky Legislature, in
which it was declared that the rails
ing of the salary of the President of
the United States from $4,000 to
$4,000 is wrongful and unjust to
the people, and the Kentucky dele
cation in Congress is instructed to
do all in their power to have the
salary reduced to original figures.

H Al - XII
Secretary EvARrs has looked into
the proposed new plan Of choosing
Presidential electors in New York
by Congressional districts, and finds
that the Republicans would probably
get twenty-four electors by that
method, while the Democrats would
get but nine, leaving the two at
large in doubt. Under these cir
cumstances Secretary Evarts doesn't
think it would be strictly patriotic
if he RETAINED from expressing his
opinion that the new plan is entirely
lawful and ought to be adopted. In
Pennsylvania a similar plan would
give the Democrats ten or twelve
electors and the Republicans fifteen
or seventeen, but Mr.. Egarts thinks
it would be unpatriotic if he advised
it in this State or any other State
regarded rs certainly Republican.
Mr.. Eyarts is a great man. He is a
reformer in politics. He belongs to
the Republican school of politicians.

it, as they always have against SINH

Greenbackers are re-orgauizing in
q few places, but as a rule, small or
CARNATIONS are disbanded and will
not make any attempt to keep up

in which there should be no conflict
between the voting elements that
are opposed to Radicalism. A con-
solidation of all the factions opposed
to Republicanism and the manner

the change that will give relief to

shows that this contempt is shared

Cleveland Plain Dealer:-"Any
party of American citizens can bear
to be defeated; no party of Amer
lean citizens can bear to be defraud-
ed" says Blaine in his Augusta
speech, yet he knows that his party
in Maine corrupted the ballot box
to elect a majority of the Legislature.
They failed, however, to comply
with the form of law and the text of
the Constitution in returning their
members elect. While Blaine bowls
over Fusion resistance to Maine cor
ruption and villainy, he forgets how
q party of American citizens were
defrauded out of their fairly elected
President by partisans on the Elec-
toral Commission who ruled one way
on one state and another way on
another state. Blaine was the head
and front of the scheme by which
the Democracy were defrauded in a
national campaign, and that he
knows about the bribe-money by
which two or three Fusionists were
corrupted is certainly not deniable,
Judging from his known perfor-
mances in politics, his corrupt action

With breathless haste Republican
Senators and Members introduced

fairness eleven Democrats and nine

the first election two years ago the

Redistricting Law of 1872, the object
of which was to give the Republicans
fifteen Congressman and the Demo

the last State election, as a basis for
a Redistricting Bill, and at the ut
most the Republicans would not be
entitled to more than eleven Con-
gressmen to the Democrats nine
something of a difference between
fifteen and five. And yet Republi-
cans who profess to believe that they
are fair and just will applaud, with
unwonted vigor, the restoration of
the outrageously Unfair Redistrict-
ing Law of 1872. Those who do so
should be forever estopped from de-
claiming against the partisanship of

Maine Gospel.
New York Sun.

NOW
What is the appointed work of a
Christian preacher in troubulous
times, when blood grows hot, tongues
clamor, fists clinch, and deadly mis-
chief is in the air?
The old notion was that at such
times the preachers every word
should be as oil on the raging wat
ers; that he should leave nothing
undone to allay passion and secure
a hearing for reason; that by his
example even more than by his pre-
cepts he should win man back to
better feelings and dispositions.
Fresh from the closet of prayers.
with the light of heaven on his face,
he was to go forth among the people
preaching the gospel of charity and
good will. This was oncet the notion,
and it did not square badly with the
recorded u~tterances of the Founder
of the Christian religion, who on
one occasion foretold a special hap.
piness for the peacemakers.
Apparently the Maine preachers
have gotten themselves a new gospel,
or a new and different version oil the
old one in which the text reads:
BLESSED are the war makers
With honorable exceptions, they
have behaved very much as the
priests of Mars or the Druids would
have behaved in the like case. In
stead of seeking to quench the pub
lie passions; they have fed anG
famed it. Their sermons ant
prayers have been fuel to the fire O
civil discord. No thanks to then
that it has not famed up into dis
astrous conflagration. No thanks
to them that Maine is not even MOI
reddening with Maine blood.
What body of Christians will b
the first to send missionaries t,
convert the Maine preachers t.
Christianity?

crimes were unknown to them. aud
he was expelled as soon as they
were discovered; but when VIM. H.

General of Ohio, by Gov. Foster, it
was done with a full knowledge of
the fact that Gibson was a public
thief, and that also, to cover the
crime of robbing the treasury of
the State, he had committed rank
perjury over and over again. 1t is
Furthermore a fact worthy of note in
this connection that the appoint
ment of Gibson to the position he
nov holds in the State was made in
open and palpable violation of the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
To- 0Qfh 1880

Jan. 2Sth, 1880. FL
Senator Coke makes, in his recent
speech against Senator Bayard's res
olution, the point that we cannot
take away the legal tender quality
of the greenback issued IS legal ten
der because they are a part OF the
national debt and therefore the val
idity is protected by the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution. That
amendment provides that the validi-
ty of the public debt shall not be
questioned. The point was not dis
cussed fully, but rather evaded by
Senator Bayard in. his elaborate
speech in support of his resolution
yesterday. Senator Bayard's speech,
by the way was an able and an ex-
cellent one, but fell without appar-
emit effect upon the Senate. l think
there is little doubt now that the res
olution, as well as all other financial
propositions, will go over for action
at a later session. The possible ex-
ception is the refunding bill, but
even on the several measures relat-
ing to that there is a strong feeling
in favor of delay.
The Senate Committee on militia
~ affairs yesterday reported a bill
to correct the record in case of Gen
eral Fitz John Porter. All the mem
bers of the Committee agreed ex-
cept General Logan, who took the
novel ground that Congress as a
Legislative body could not reverse
the action of a court martial. But
as General Burnside and all the 9th
er members of the COMMITTEES heart
lily support the bill, which is the a.
mended House bill with a few small
changes, there is no doubt it will
pass-probably receiving every vote
in the Senate except Logan's, and
nine-tenths of all the votes throw
in the House.
The House, as is known, has been
for weeks laboring or loafing over its
amended rules. The Senate has beer
waiting for the House. Those a
mended rules are greatly preferable
to the present ones-briefer, clearer
and less in number. The public Blu
siness could be transacted under
them with much more rapidity thar
under those now in force. But the
; practical man asks if the whole of {
session is to be consumed in adopt
ing the rules, would it not be better
to have a special session for that pur
pose?
With a majority of both Houses
in favor of adjournment as early al
May, and eNeryecondition-o of benef'
to the country and of political expe
dieney for both parties urging sucl
an early adjournment it is strang'
that the rules are not at once adopt
ed, rejected, or put over for later con
sideration.
1t is likely that two Commission
will be authorized by the presen
= Congress-one to inquire into need
, ed changes in the tariff laws, an
the other on the subject of the alec
holic traffic. Very numerous pet
tions in both cases have been receiy
ed from prominent people in ever
: section of the country. Dem.

Railroads and manufactures are
what make and bnild cities, but
when they are constructed on paper
only, they don't amount to much.
Eaton needs another railroad and the
Lake Erie and Southwestern road is
the one nearest it's grasp, and we
should not quietly sit down and per-
init it to slip from US. We raised
the required amount to run this road
through our County in 1871, and we
are satisfied if necessary a do it
again. In speaking of this road and
its advantages to Preble as well as
Miami County, Bro. Morris, of the
Miami Helmet says:
We well remember that in the fall
of 1871 and the winter following,
Preble County raised nearly $780,
600 of reliable subscription in a few
months, Eaton leading off with a
little over $4,000. And, if we re-
member Alright, Miami was nearly
up with her quota. The same thing
can be done again, done more easily
than it was at that time. And, let
the people get ready for it, for it is
coming. If we do not miss our mark
widely the wideawake Hoosiers will
have their 220 miles done and the
cars running within two years. Ohio
will not be behind. Logan, Shelby,
Miami and Preble counties will COM
plete the work. Only give the peo-
pie a tangible proposition as the
above, and there is not an iots oil
doubt that they will do the work
This great line of road commends
itself to every man who owns prop.
erty. 1t brings the coal fields of In.
diana to Jul doors, and it unlocks
the vast wealth of all the wide and
continually growing Southwest.
