A private letter from Gen. John Nc
Donald to friend in Indianapolis,
says:
my book will be out the latter part of this
month (August). and, among other features,
will contain fac simile letters from my former
friends in Washington, which, at this time,
will be very interesting reading to the God
and morality party who are running Gar
field"
Gen. McDonald's book will be in de-
mand everywhere throughout the coun-
try. The interior workings Of the
Whisky Ring have never been known.
What connection Grant and his Off
cials had with it will be looked for with
the greatest solicitude. We are glad
the facts are to be known. Mcdonald
has them, has the documents-and

The publication of General Hancock g
letter to General Sherman in the New
York World of the 1st inst, has had a
dispiriting effect upon the Republicans
at Washington. They had been led to
believe that it was revolutionary to the
last degree and were counting upon us
ing it as campaign document with
fatal effect. That it should be so peace
full, so wise, so well tempered and re-
pfete with such evidences of the sound
discretion and statesmanlike qualities
that have characterized General Han
cocks career quite appals them. 1t
was in the belief that the Sherman let
ter when it came would furnish abun-
dant material for attack that the letter
of acceptance was read with compare
tive composure. General Sherman's
declaration in telegram to the editor
of the New York World that General
Hancock had never written him let
ter alluding to his taking orders from
Mr. Tilden is now fully borne out, and
the Radicals are disposed to lie down
and use bad language. 1t is noticeable
that there is no desire expressed for
any further publication of General
Hancock's letters. Nothing can be is
sued that will compare with this letter
in its crushing effect upon the Repub-
Hcan line.

they are TO be given to the public, and
thus the mills of the Gods grind on; and
thus lurking crime and skulking GRIM
inals are brought to the surface. The
fact that Mcdonald went to prison and
wore the garb of felon will avail the
Republican managers nothing. They
have got to face documents. We are
glad that Mcdonald has been spared
to reveal the scoundrelism of the Whis-
ky Ring. The revelations come in
good time. The country demands facts
and Gen. John Mcdonald proposes
to furnish them.

The work of soliciting voluntary
contributions" from Federal office-hold-
ers goes bravely on. Generally, the
money is forthcoming from the poor
devils who know that a refusal to
comply would result in the loss of their
positions, and cut off their supply of
bread and butter" Occasionally,
however, the Chairman of the Republi-
can Scalping Committee gets a rejoin-
der that makes him howl with indig-
nation. We subjoin an example of the
latter class lately received:

SIR: You ask me for SIS to help elect a
man that was nominated by a party of
politicians that issued orders and stationed
pickets to prevent crippled soljiers from
entering the building where the Republi-
can convention was ia eesson, aud for the
only reason that they were supposed friends
of General Grant. You have got your man,
now elect him. My vote and influence in
the present campaign, and money also,
shall be given in favor of the soldier.state.-

Mr.. Henry Bergh, President of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals i'm New York, owns some
rickety tenement houses, which are i'm
habited by the poorest sort OF people.
One of his houses is occupied by a man, !,
his wife and several children. The
woman washed and did chores and the
man jobbed around, and it was hard
work for both of them to get bread
enough to stop the children's mouths.
The steps of the house were dangerous
because of their broken, crumbling con-
dition. They had literally TO be climb
ed to get in rand out of the house. The
woman fell down them one day and
broke her collar-bone. She went to a
hospital. but the doctors did her little
good. She cannot wash any more.
The man also got hnrt and was dis
abled for work. The rent became due
and no money to pay. The agent sery-
ed notice to pay or tramp. The man
went to Bergh and told his tale of woe.
Bergh told the man to go home and
never mind the agent; he would see that
they were not disturbed. Pretty soon a
marshal came with the agent and set all
the family's little furniture out in the
street and locked the door against them.
The agent said that Bergh had nothing
to do with the business. The man went
to see Bergh but couldn't find him. He
was busy looking after the announced
bull fight, and the poor, roOfiess family
were fed by the neighbors, as the crouch
ed among their ruins. The people
around there thought that all the bulls
of Bashan and Texas and Mexico and
old Spain were not of as much conse-
quence as this poor family Of Bergh's
house.-Repu6tican.

speak,nr Of the causes of the defeat

Speaking of the causes of the defeat
or Somtheast, ,Missouri's ''favorite sonsn
before the late. State convention, the
Wayne county Journal says: "This
part of the State being entirely ignored
did not result so much from our number
of candidates as from the ill feeling and
jealous disposition that arose between
friends of the different candidates. A
few weeks since the Pennington Times
said: THE st. Francois county delegates
wiA go toJefferson City solid for Walk
er for Auditor The Frederick town
Plaindcaler answered: The Madison
county delegates will remember it,
The Potosi Independent, Dinning's
friend, attacks Holiday, and the result
was they were all defeated in the con-
nection."
There is an error in this. The Potosi
Independent while violently opposed
70 Holiday. was very lukewarm
afriendn to Judge Dinning. Mrs Har.
fissssfirst, Fast and all the times purpose
was to defeat Holiday. Only this, and
nothing more. Months elapsed between
Dinning's announcement and an ex-
preston from the Independent and that
opinion would no doubt have been un-
friendly had not the universal senti-
ment of Washington county stood be-
tween. When Holladay's friends took
revenge on Judge Dinning they didn't
hurt the Independent nearly SO much
as they did the ticket.

Q. In spite OF all your experience, you still
retain the innocence of youth! A. do.
@. Have you retired from defending your
action in the case OF DE Golyer-frs5. on high
public grounds, and secondly, to save the
feelings of your friends and supporters gener-
ally! A. | have.
Q. Your life, 1 understand, has been singu-
iarly blameless? 1t has,
Q. Have you ever met a man of higher NOR
al tone than yourself? A Never
@. Were the DcGolyer case tried before
Judge Swayne, would any witness who reflect
ed in any way on your conduct commit PERU
ry? A. He would.
Q. Have you ever felt sordid emotion! A.
Never.
Q. In the whole course of your political ca
reer have you ever had an unworthy thought!
A. Never.
@. Is yours simple anil confiding nature?
1t is.
Q. believe, however, you are a connoisseur
in pavements? A. l am.
@. As an expert, then, are you prepared to
assure the Court that no charge of irregulari-
ty can with justice be brought against your
action in the De Golyer matter: A. 1 can
give that assurance.
O. Permit me to put one general question.
Are you the greatest, wisest, noolest and pur-

New York World /


The "first gun" from the South is
doule-shotted. The opposition to the
regular Democratic ticket in Alabama,
consisting of a small knot of Greenback-
ers and Labor -Reformers, with q few
Independent Democrats and as many
of the Republicans as could bring them
selves to follow Chairman Turner's ad-
vice and give defective aid" to the
Greenback candidate, has collapsed ut
terly, and the Democrats, turning out
i'm considerable numbers despite the
one-sidedness of the contest, have piled
up a great majority. General Weaver's
prediction that the Independent ticket
would be''elected by four or five thous-
and votes" has not been verified, while
General Wenver's special to the Times
testifying that his fourteen speeches
were delivered to large, respectable and
enthusiastic audiences, show that there
was no attempt at interfering with free
dom of speech. Even if we reject the
statement of Mr.. Edwardy to the effect
that General Weaver is travelling with
Republican money, ii Is obvious that
the Republican-Greenba alliance
the existence of which is fully Demon
strated by the Republican s'secret cir
cuIar"-has done its projectors more
harm than good, the masses of both
parties rejecting it. Garfieid's nOmin-
alton was slap in the face alike to the
Republican officials, who were for Sher-
man, and to the rank and file, who were
for Grant. The result i'm Alabama
shows that the Republican party with
out office and plunder always goes to
pieces, as will be shown on n grand scale
after March next. Other reasons for
the result in Alabama are to be found
in the prosperity and order of the State,
i'm the reduction of the State tax from 75
cents to 40, and in the increase of popu-
lation and wealth since the downfall of
the carpet-baggers. The Times itself
said on the 9th of December, 1878, "The
solid South Is not enamored of fiat
l,eahey and ! s. f1s I 3 Af 3 s ST ss Aays y gs z, z :
from Montgomery: "The two races afe
living in better accord than at any time
since the war. In case of per-
sonal abuse of negro by white man
the negro, as the weaker party, Is like
ly to have the sympathy of the court.
A negro can sue a white man in the
courts with just as good prospect Of
getting justice as he would have were
he to prosecute one of his own color.
The school fund is apportioned between
the two races with rigid impartiality. :.
4 The suburbs of every town
filled with little homesteads belonging
to colored men, and i'm the country me-
groes are here and there to be found In
the ownership of small plantations"
In these two statements taken from
the leading Republican journals of the
country will be found the secret OF the
failure in Alabama of the Republican
Greenback alliance, and of the satisfac-
ton of the great mass of colored voters
with a Democratic administration of
State affairs which secures public or
der and fair market for the labor Of
all men who are willing and able toI
work.
