The independent republicans (scratcher')

we're addressed by ex-GOv. Chamberlain, of
South Carolina. The republican Central
Campaign Club, also passed resolution of
the same character. endorsed the action in
regard to the unit rule and hailed with de-
light the crushing out Of the third term here

Mr.. Garfield, says local journal, eats
heartily and is in as good spirits as if less
momentous interests were staked upon his
success. He rose earl, yesterday morning
and after short conversations with twenty
seven reporters who had slept on the veran-
da, went to the breakfast room and partOOk
of a light meal. at which no one was present
but members of his family and eleven spec
ial correspondents who got in Saturday. The
day waa spent quietly in conversation with
inquiring friends and few members Of the
press, who remained with the unfortunate
man until the last minute, when he quietly
but decidedly babe them adieu and retired to
the comparative privacy of his room. There
are but four other persons in the chamber.
The National Prohibition Reform conven-
ton, held at Cleveland, nominated Neal Dow

What we are concerned about is the be-

There are members in both Houses who
are afraid to oppose any bill, however
mischievous, which purports to be
meassre for " the relief of soldiers and
sailors" They know that such schemes
to take millions out Of the Treasury,
under one pTetext CT another, are INDUSTRIOUS

barrass The Government, sometimes to make
votes foi demagogues, and are not asked for

An AFrRONT 10 THE SOLDIERS.

Representative Weaver, of Iowa, has been
busy for month OF more bringing into Con-
gress huge loads of petitions, ostensiby from
ex-solders. praying for the passage OF bill
to give them the difference between the gold
value and currency-value OF the pay they re-
celved in the army. What reason there may
be for lavishlng gratuities of this sort upon
ANYBODY we are at a loss to imagine; we are
equally unable to see why, il such m0nstrous
extrayagance is to be committed, the
lareess should not be distributed to all
persons who took pay in the depre-
cated paper not only to soldiers, but
to sailors, suffers, contractors, Congressman,
Custom House officers, pOStmasters, Indian
agents, policemen, all the eighty thousand
offce-holders who drew greenbacks from the
National Treasury, all the tradesmen and man
nfacturers who had dealings with the Govern
ment: to the men who made muskets as well
as those who carried them; to the farmers
who raised commissarat supplies, as well as the
armies which consumed them; to the heirs of
dead soldiers in a word to all the innumer-
able multitude of people who received the
thirteen thousand millions of dollars. more or
less, which the Government expended during
Weaver, we believe, estimates that an appro-
priation of about $45O,000,000 would be
enough for his purpose but this is plainly a
miscalculation. 1t would be nothing like
enough. Indeed, it is impossible for any one to
foresee where the leveling process would stop.
The Weaver plan is to issue fat money; the
ISSUE of fiat money would Immediately depreci-
ate the currency the whole operation would
then have to be performed over again and so
the lunacy would go on until bankruptcy put
an end to IT.
Our Washington dispatches have exposed the
real character of the Weaver scheme; 1t is a
device of the iniationIsts, and is not
mt all in the interest of the soldiers,
nor do the soldiers as class support
it. A large proportion of the signers OF
Mr.. Viewers petitions do not pretend TO
have served in the Army. "On great many,
"probably on majority of the petitions, y
said our Washington correspondent, more
" than half the names are signed 10y men who
certify that they are citizens and that they
"'appr0ve' of the proposed measure" A
man who has served honorably in the Army is
likely to have too much patriotism and too
much honest pride to clamOr for baksheeSb

the cheerful homes of Dundee streaming from

their doom in an awful moment OF agony ana
darkness.
In the local papers, from which these details
are cleaned, Scot Offers an explana-
tion OF this heartrendinc calamity. A week
before the bridge went down he had curious
dream in which the girders Of that splendid
structure-the pride Of Dundee--gaye way

scOus as he was, n shudier passed over HIM,
for he recOllectcd that ii was Sunday and be
was breaking the Fourth Commandment. Now
that his dream has come TO pass, with the
SINGLE exception of his own absence from the

himself with the thought that while his own

turas ON the dread day Of rest when they were
swallowed up in death, yet they may, attef
all, in the goodness of God, have passed

aster as Il visitation from Heaven upon a
raiIway corporation that ventures TO run trains
on Sunday, and is convinced that on any
other day the bridge would have withstood
the hurricane and remained a monument OF
engineering skill. Well-a-day! Who shall
say in what measure Divine judgment Is meted
out? The Lord of the hurricane Is also the
Lord Of the Sabbath but HIS mercy is ever
lasting. Even those lowy Scottish rnstics and
