Free Ships.

The question has been asked as
to the scope and intent of the
clause in the Democratic platform,
declaring for Gree Ships and q liv-
ing chance for American commerce
on the high seas" We will tell
you Under Republican rule,in or
der to create a ship building monop-
DIV, American citizens who pur-
chased vessels built outside of the
United States are not entitled to
register them rs American vessels
and to receive for them the protec-
ton ofthe United States flag. The
meaning of the platform is that this
unjust discrimination between
American citizens who own vessels,
whether built on our own, or for
eign soil, shall be done away with
that the right to purchase foreign
built vessels shall be secured to
American citizens and that those
so obtained shall be registered in
the same way and have protection
in precisely the same manner as
would if built in this country. The
clause..is consistent with the equa
rights and no special privilege
doctrine, of the Democratic party

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30, 1885,

Editor Broohhaven LEDGER
The Radical press is exercised over
advice alleged to have been given by
Senator Wade Hampton, TO tho people
of Virginia. viz: that before voting this
Fall, they consider what Lee and jack
son would do If living. To be sure
Senator Hampton denies the use of
any such language. or any language
having any such meaning, but, that
makes no difference to the Radical pa
pers. While they are putting that
forgery before the people, knowing it
to be a forgery, and doing it wholly for
political gains, let them give a little
space to another subject. Let them
advise their leaders to consider before
voting this Fall, what Gen. Hancock
would do if a board of officers should
DO appointed to investigate his con-
duct and should declare him guilty
of perjury? just that Is what the
House Committee reported of Garfield
seven years ago.
I feel sure that under such circum
stances everybody who knows anything
of Hancock believes he would resign,
1t may be said that Senator Hamrton's
way of life here, as Senator, has con-
WINGED all his friends that no man in
the United States more ardently desires
a perfect restoration of the Union and
of fraternal feeling than he. The att
tack on him is simply atrocious.
In several previous campaigns l have
learned to put but little trust in the
loud assurances of political committees,
of what ever party, or in the prophecies
of "eminent politicians /. therefore,
base no calculation on the glowing
promises of the Radical Chairman.
Jewel, or the equally gorgeous express
sions of confidence that came from
/ Democratic Chairman, Barnum.
The Committees these gentlemen pre-
side over are well enough if they do
the work they are set to do, but there
is nothing which compels us to take
their words as to future events.
The real condition of affairs may be
better learned in the city, by con-
~nection with the hundredsSof people,
not politicians, who every week come
from all sections to spend a few days
at the Capitol. l have talked with
many of them on political subjects ever
since Hancock was nominated, and find
that the nomination everywhere gives
satisfaction to the Democracy, and to
the independents who were looking
for a candidate who could not be ac-
cused of any oflense in his public ca~
reer. The gentlemen of all parties
with whom I have talked consider Ham
cock the strongest man who could have
been selected, and most of them say
that his popularity in the North will
grow up to the day of election.
A hint that may be useful to many
Republican government officers who
will be retired after the Inauguration of
General Hancock, is given in the &c
ton of General Fl. S. Paine, late Com
missioner of Patents. He, as a mem"
Der of the firm of Paine, Grafton &
Gadd, is now carrying on business
before the office he lately presided
over. His retirement from official po-
%sition, however. unlike that of those
who will be dropped in March next,
was voluntary. Gen. Paine was an ex-
cellent Commissioner. Ii.

used to great advantage there. You
look upon the mighty cataract and
admire it's surging, roaring, spark
ling snowy Wilderness; suddenly a
red glass is put before the light, the
scene is changed, and you behold a
mad, seething, river of blood; a
green light is then thrown on, and
the abode of Satan, with its weird,
fantastic images is beheld. Other
colors are also shown.
After being rocked to sleep by the
rumbling Of the waters, u party
arose next morning, re-engaged our
polite driver and were shown the
Canada side. There we visited the
towers, Table Rock, Burning Spring

Islands, Battle Field of Lundy's
Lane, and all other places of inter-
est. The American side has enough
thieves and swindlers, but the Can
ada shore has ten to its one. Visi
tors co the falls will need no less
change than fifty cents. Nothing
costs less than that sum.
From Niagara we went to Nam
moth Cave, but have not time to de-
scribe that great natural curiosity
in this letter.
The political outlook is good, ant
unless appearances are deceivine

of the United States.

Sherman's Letter to HancOck.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Ihe pres
sure brought to bear upon Gen.
Sherman for the publication of his
letters to Gen. Hancock, in Decem-
Der, 1876, has been too great for him
to resist. He says that he authorized
their publication along with Gen.
Hancock's celebrated reply in the
campaign life of the Demo cratic
candidate, about to he issued BY a
New York publishing house, Sher-
man declines to give the letters in
advance to the press. Army Off
GERS are awaiting the publication OF
the letters with much interest. The
feeling is strong here that one, at
least, of the letters was in the ma
ture of an appeal to Gen. Hancock
to use, if necessary, the troops I'M
der his command to seat Hayes in
the white house.

@ OF ACTION.

We copy the following sensible
article from the Grenada Sentinel,
and commend it's perusal to our
farming friends. The concert of ac-
tion spoken of would prove of in
calculable advantage, though as the
Oranges have not succeeded in C
complishing this, we cannot offer
any suggestions, but it will furnish
food for reflection:
Perhaps there is not a country in
the range of civilization, where agri-
culture is as exclusively the bust
ness of the people as it is here,
where there are not some laws which
hold good between the employer
and the employed, or the landlord
and the tenant. Here, when q man
wants to hire labor, he enters the
market as an Independent specula-
tor, without any concert of action
with others in the same business,
and when called upon to know what
he will give, has to rely upon his
own necessities, without reference
to a common value, or to the inter
est of any others.
This independent action is often
conducive to the damage of both the
hirer and the hired. Feeling that
he must have work at any cost, and
but for a very short period, he off
ers inducements that end in his
success, but sets a bad precedent
for his neighbors, as we'll as those
who live by working for others.
Twenty men may follow him right
away, and each one is required to
come up to the exceptional stand
ard already erected. This they can
not stand, and the result is, the la
Dor market is on a stand still; and
consequently, the laborers lose time
that is valuable not only to them,
but enters into public inconvenience
by postponing the early receipts of
marketable products. We believe
always that the laborer is worthy of
his hire, and should be paid prompt
ly according to agreement. The
question, however, is, what is a fair
and reasonable compensation for Ia
Dor? One or two farmers, for 4
, special purpose, have already paid
75c or a dollar q day, and now every
other hireling demands the same.
This produces confusion in the mind
of the colored people. and it often
leads to misunderstan dings and
hard feeling between neighbors.
We ask every farmer in Il country
who reads this, is there no remedy
will men who have sense and intelli'
gence enough to uphold a system OF
national and State politics, by nom
mating Presidents, members OF
Congress and State Legislatures,
Sheriffs, Clerks. etc, longer over
look a matter of everyday interest
and almost everyday necessity as
this labor question? Answer, every
man of you, first to yourself and
then to the public.

BosToN. August 2s.-General Benja
min f. Butler tonight, like the prodi~
gal OF old, returned to %recline upon the
bosom OF his historic mother, Democra,
cy, and gladly was he again embraced
into her loving fold. The scene of the
feast was most appropriate, and was in
Faneuil Hall. The place was actually
packed to every inch of standing room
by as many as seven Thousand people,
many OF whom, owing3 to the oppres
sive heat, were III shirt-sleeves. As
many as five thousand were unable to
obtain admission, and turned away.
Among those present were many Re
%pulicans. as well as many old regular
Faneuil Hall leaders, who have fought
the general for many years IN politics.
There was no music or decoration,
but what enthusiasm might haYe been
lost by these defects, if they were, was
more than made up by the thunders of
applause that fairly rocked the old
cradle when the General appeared,
When he took the platform it was
many minutes before he could be
heard, on account of the reception Civ
en-. Those whose lungs we're weak
stamped their feet and clapped their
hands in Joy and i%ubiIation, while in
some instances hats were SWING in the
air.
General Butler was equal to the oc-
casion. He smiled in his usual urbane,
gracious way, and with thanks for the
reception, began his speech a n clear,
ringing tone of voice, which seemed
much improved oyer that of "A year
ago. He spoke for two hours, and
held the immense audience through

General Bntler, during the coming

tion Will be offset this week by n large
amount to he sent from here to the

concede that the result depends wholly

chased hold the battle in their control.
After leaving Maine General Butler

The Truth Precisely.

Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks made n
speech at Marion. Indiana, recently, in
which he said;n
darfield's nomination means tue en-
dorsement and approval in the most
positive and offensive manner possible
the fraud of 1876. He lad more to
do with it than any other man. and WAS
tie only man who occupied n double
relation. After the election Garfield
went to New Orleans at the request of
Gen. Grant without authority of law
as Il parizan. lie went there to assist
his party in making false returns. AT
ter his return to Washington, OF all OF
his associates he was the only one who
took his seat on the Electoral Commits.
sion. BY every sentiment Of fair play
he should have been excluded from the
jury box, by his own sworn statement
of what he did in New Orleans. Garfield
had charge of the returns from West
Feliciana Parish. In one of the inner
rooms of Packhard's custom housa he
did his work, examined the afiI ..vits,
and when they were not sufficiently full
he prepared or had prepared addition
al interogatories to bring them With n
the rules adopted by the return g
board. The testimony received ~
Garfield went back to the retlrnl g
board and the result was that JVe5t
Feliciana with its Democratic m jori y
was thrown out. In Washington Cars
fields vote was that Congress could
not go behind the returns thus maze.
As agent for his party he helped - 20
make returns by manipulating the egi-
dence, and as iuryman for the nation
he held such evidence as conclusiye
and binding. e
