The Drum Major.


HIS feet rose and fell with the regu-
larity of quartz crushers; his bearskin
was as towering and as fluffy as a cats
tail in spring time. His gauntleted left
hand was glued TO his hip, and his
gauntleted right hand to his staff, saw
ing right and left for dear life. Then he
reached the second line of review and
prepared TO salute. First he raised the
staff shoulder high and wobbled 1t four
times like the walking-beam Of an en-
gine, Then he reversed it and gave one
gilderfluke to the right and two tlabdabs
to the left, twirled the knob seven times,
hung the staff twenty feet in the air, and
made a motion as If he were going to
turn a triple somersault before 1t came
down again. Instead of this, however,
he caught it deity, tucked II under his
right arm, shot out his left horizontally,
crooked his elbow and laid the back Of
his hand on his brow. And he did all
this with such skill, rapidity and pride
that the small boy cried; go, locker

THERE seems to be but little pros
pect of an early termination Of the
South American war. if any value is to
be placed on oaths. At the beginning
Of the struggle 757 officers of the Bo-
livian army, all above the grade of Sub
Lieutenant, swore the following fright
full oath, with request that posterity
would take note of it: 1--WE. who carry
a sword at our girdle, which our father
land has cOn6ded to us to defend it and
preserve intact its honor, swear thou
sand times over not to sheathe that
sword before avenging the outrage
which Child has committed on Bolivia.
And to fulfill these oaths we are pre-
pared for every sacrifice, beginning by
the announcement of salaries and sub
jecting ourselves to camprations on the
samescale as the soldiers. Thus be Il
and let posterity judge u.s."

Ray Mr.. Hendricks has been caught
in n decidedly dirty trick. He made
an attack on General Garfield, saying
that he took one position in Louisiana in
1870 and totally opposite one on the
Electoral Commission of which he was
subsequently a member. The main
point of the charge was this; "As agent
for his party he helped to make returns
by manipulating evidence, and as jury
for the Nation he held such evidence as
conclusive and binding" Having been
called to account for this statement,
and proof having been furnished that
General Garfield had nothing whatever
to do with the returns, merely arguing
the case on them after they had been
arranged for him by others, Hendricks
retorted in a pettifogging effort to sus-
tain himself, and in the midst Of it eX-
claimed; "They say he is preacher.
/ don't pretend TO be anything but a
wicked lawyer, but there Is not wealth
enough in all Indiana TO get me
to do what he did. L wouldn't do
it for a thousand years tenure of the
great Office for which he is a oandj-
date" Yet before Garfield was nomi-
mated this same Hendricks said of himi

n statement BY the Repubiicans Of his
District.

WARREN Ohio, September 3, 1880.
To the Republicans OF the United states:
Determined efforts are being made to mis-
represent and falsify the history OF General
Garfeld's relations to the Republicans OF this
district. The point Of the charge that is con-
stautly reiterated Is that there has been and
still Is O large detection as regards him In the
party. As the efforts to spread and impress
this charge may make some impression on the
public mind IN other states; the subscribers
deem II proper to publish this statement OF
/. General Garfield has been nine times I'm
succession elected 10 the House of Repre-
sentatives by the Republicans of this district,
viz. at each Congressional election from 1852
a decided majority. When 1t is remembered
that the average time Of Congressional service
a. short-that generally the ablest men retire
from the House of Representatives after two,
three, or four terms, because they can no
lOnger commando the requisite suppOrt-it must
DC acknowledged that General Garteld's eight
cen years Is an extraordinary term. What Il
more, OF itself this long term is an adequate
answer 10 the charge that Is now current.

WHO WROTE HANCOCK,s LET.
TER TO sHERMAN7

Some time ago. says the New York
Herald, the Republican journals were
quite certain that Judge Black did Gem
eral Hancock's political writing. The
Judge, they asserted positively, wrote for
the General those letters and orders to
Louisiana and Texas politicians which
are SO famous. Hancock, they were
sure, was unable to set down such senti-
ments. "a mere soldier, you know"
they said "what does he know about
such questions!"
Well, here is Hancock's letter Of ac-
ceptance-an ADLER document than Gar
fields is the general opinion /; who wrote
that? And then comes Hancock's letter
to General Sherman, written in 1876
from a country town in Missouri. It
would be delightful to think that Judge
Black also wrote that but unfortunately
the Judge was not there. Unlike the
Irishman's bird. he could not be in two
places at once. Yet it is a very good
letter; strong, sensible, conservative,
showing as accurate an understanding
on Hancock's part Of the constitution as
the famous Louisiana order. So far as
we have noticed, the Republican organs
accept this letter meekly as Hancock's
own. This is encouraging; perhaps by
and by they viii give him also the credit
which belongs to him Of the authorship
Of the Louisiana orders and letters. The
theory that General Hancock is mere
dummy does not seem to prosper.

do not doubt the discriminating just
ice Of the people, and their capacity for in
telligent self-government, and, therefore,
do not doubt the success Of the Democratic
ticket. Its success would bury beyond
resurrection the sectional ~jealousies and
hatred which have SO long been the chief
stock in trade Of pestiferous demagogues,
and In no other way can this be so effectually
accomplished. It would restore harmony
and good feeling between all the sections,
and make MS in fact, a. we'll as in name,
one people. The only rivalry then would
be in the race for the development Of ma
terial prosperity, the elevation Of labor,
the enlargement Of human rights, the pro-
motion Of education, morality, religion,
order, and all that would tend to make rs
the foremost nation Of the earth In the
grand march Of human progress.
