LILLE SOLID SOUIH DEFENDED.

The more intelligent of Southern leaders
are beginning to apprehend the truth that
has long been apparent to observing men at
the North, that the Solid South is mistake
for the Southern people, and has been from
the beginning. Knowing the power of the
social and political forces that are at work to
maintain this solidarity, they are unwilling to
attempt the task of stemming the current, how
ever ruinous it may be to the bust
ness interests and material welfare of
the country Some of them, however, have
thought it worth while to offer explana-
tons Of the fact, and set forth reasons
why the South could do nothing else than act
with the Democrats and present solid OppO-
sition to the Northern Republicans. A very
frank and ingenious statement of the case
from this point of view is that contained in
a recently published letter from the Hon.
Alexander Ii. H. Stuart, of Virginia Mr.. Stuart
states to begin with, that he is not and never has
been an extreme Southern man that he was an
Old Line Union Wing, and is the only sur
yiyor of Mr.. Filmores Cabinets that as
member of the Secession Convention he voted
against the ordinance, and refused to approve
it until it had been ratified by an overwhelm-
ing popular vote. He then goes to say
that in 1865, under Andrew Johnson's order
elections for members of Congress were held
throughout the South that the Democracy at
that time were odious to the Southern people ;
and that the result was the election of many
Old Line Union Wings who had been opponents
of secession, Virginia electing eight such ont
of nine members, one OF whom was Mr.
Stuart himself.
This action, Mr.. Stuart says, was the offer
of an olive-branch to the North, but " our
| flag of truce was fired on" " Under the
orders of the leaders Of the Republican
party" he says, a partisan clerk, although
"he had the duly authenticated certificates of
"our election In his possession, refused to
| "place our names on the roll of the House, or
"to call us to qualify and participate in the
| organization" This treatment he describes
az "ignOminious and plainly "Outside
| "the Constitution "Is it a matter of sur
| prise, them" he asks, that they should have
been indignant and felt no desire, after the
"halls of Congress had been opened to them,
"to repeat the experiment Of electing Union
! men which they had SO unsuccessfully
"made I" This presentment of the matter Is
comparatively dispassiOnate and calm, and Is
of interest as the best explanation that can
be offered by conservative Southern states
man of the attitude of the South. The strik-
ing feature in 1t Is the utter simplicity
with which Mr.. Stuart ignores the
great hard fact that he and his
colleagues had for four years been
making a costly and bloody war against this
Government; and that though the armies
they had raised had surrendered, and the
confederacy they had devised had vanished,
AZ between these men and the Government

ME-. RARNTM IN TIE WRONG.

Mr. w. II. Barnum, the notorious mule
buyer, is the next person whom it becomes the
duty of The TRIBUNE to expose. The Demo
Gratis have been exceedingly unfortunate this
wear: HAMPTON and Beltzhoover have made
their party ashamed with the least possible ex-
cuse But the man who telegraphed You
"may buy seven more mules" viii not be
outdOne, even in Democratic quarters.
The circular issued from the National Demo
cratic Headquarters, and signed by William
H. Barnum, contains scarcely single state
ment that is not false, and several that are
not only deliberate and wilful lies, but very
foolish lies because they can be easily exposed
and concusively refuted.
For instance, in a circular dated ON the 18th
inst Mr.. Barnum says that the latest reliable
land official returns received from Maine u
give returns from 428 towns. On the morn
ing of that day the papers of this city placed
before Mr.. Barnum the returns from 461
towns. This untruth is for the purpose of
supporting charge that Republicans were
keeping back returns. and then he asserts 1t
"was only when the Republican manipulators
"have stopped the returns coming In, and de-
"layed them until they could be altered, that
- changes were Hduo III idNOI VI laws.
Each days dispatches published last week
prove that this assertion is deliberately untrue.
For:
/. The very first dispatches received from
Maine, and published here on the morning
after the election, show Republican gains in
many towns notably in Augusta, Auburn
Lewiston, Skowhegan and ROckland. An
droscoggin County complete was reported
that morning with Republican gain.
ii. The highest gain reported at any time
for the Fusionists was about 700 on the very
night of the election, when 153 towns were
in, aud Ais of that gain was in Portland
alone But the last dispatch of that same
night, giving returns from 215 towns,
showed Fusion gain of only AGO, so that
the 62 later towns returned o Republican
gain of about 240. Not even MIR. Barnum
will have the assurance to claim that re-
turns received on the very evening of the
election were delayed until they could be
altered
The whole charge that returns have been
stopped or unusually delayed this year, by
accident or design, is utterly false, is known
to be false by Mr.. Barnum. and is easily dis
proved by the records. The published dis
patches in the daily papers of 1873. 1879
and 1880 suffice to convict Mr.. Barnum of
falsehood. The number of towns from which
returns had been received, u9 to the date
of the latest dispatches each night during the
week following these three elections, Is shown
as follows.

"and plantations" or 476 towns. In 1879
1t was not until Monday night, week after
the election, that the returns were receiver
from 479 towns But on Friday night, three
days earlier, the dispatches this year gave
returns from 400 out of the 49S towns in the
State. So much for Mr.. Barnum's broadcast ana
most impudcnt untruth. The facts prove th'''
the returns were not delayed at all, but sent
forward with haste and promptness absolutely
unprecedented.
Mr.. Barnum asserts again that " the eHue
machinery for counting the vote is III the
Glands of the Republican returning board"
But he knows that this is naked falsehood,
for the votes in each town are counted ID
public, in the presence of voters, by the
officials of the town. In Democratic or Green
back towns the Fusl0pists had these oilciais
and made the count themselves, in the pres
ence Of as many voters AS saw fit to remain
for that purpose. This Mr.. Barnum knows,
because the very same system has long pre-
vailed in his own State. Connecticut. But he
tells this falsehood because, without 1T, his
whole claim of fraud would be utterly rciuted
by one fact which he admits in the very same
circular, namely: The only gains shown by
the Republican party are in Democratic
counties inaccessible by telegraph.
The Republican gain is obtained in Demo-
cratic counties" Now the Democratic
| towns elect Democratic officials, and they
| make the count and if there were any frauds
| In the count III Democratic towns, then they
irere prpetraied by Democrats themselves 10
cheat their own party! Not even Mr.. BaEnum
has assurance enough to pretend this.
When great national party turns over Its
! affairs TO be managed by fragrant liar and
| infamous coIruptionist, it is about time Tor
decent men to get out of 1t III haste. MI
Barnum was long ago notorious as buyer
of mules in his own State, ana he made
himself notorious i'll wider field by his mule
buying dispatch TO Indiana. Now he sees fit to
pose himself before the country. Doubtless
his party is proud of him.

VHERE GENERAL HANCOcK BELONGS.

VHERE GENERAL HANCOCK BELONGS
General Weaver telegraphS General Plalsted
that he has made a grand fight" whercat
all Greenbackers must "rejOice." General
Hancock telegraphs him, exultIng over the
"splendid result of his campaign. This in
dicates that the financial views OF the three
Generals are in perfect accord. The doc
trines of two of these distinguished persons
are very well defined; the opinions Of the
third have never been defined, except in his
famous letter accepting the Reputation plat
form of 1865. The sentiments General Han
cock then expressed, it must be said, are sub
stantialy the same as those expressed in the
platform upon which General Plaisted fought
the "grand fight" and achieved the " splendid
result
| In 1865 General Hancock said W
much indignation that those who doubted
that he was content with the work of the DEM
ocratc National Convention knew very little
"of his character" and that he was not the man
to falter because another than himself had
been chosen to carry the principles" of the
party into execution. Among those princi-
pies as definitely set forth in the New-York
platform of 1868, are these: Taxation of
UOVelnmtHu DOluS--dH dCt oL pdOh ioPuui"-
ton payment of the public. debt In irredeem-
able paper /; the Reconstruction Acts declared
unconstitutional revolutionary and void.
The Maine platform of 1880 demands that
creenbacks shall be full legal-ten-
der for all debts, public and private,
and calls for the unlimited coinage OF
debased silver dollars. When General
Hancock put himself on the same platform
with Plaisted he put himself where he be-
longs. The business men of the country are
indebted to him for revealing to them the
fact that he is now, and has been for at least
twelve years, for all they know, identified
with the enemies of the pubic credit and
specie payments.

he most exercised about General Garield's personal
character. One of the most frisky and fluent of
these is ex-Postmaster Cleveland, Of Hartford
People who knew him about Washington during
the war; and who remember that, after giving freely
large part of his time for eight years without fee
or reward to these who sought access to the depart
ments he retired upon an ample competence saved
from his salary postmaster, will not be surprised
to learn that he opposes Garfield because of his
accepting retainer in the De Golyer case
"CIeyen always did take high ground in matters
of that sort. Though intimate terms with
the officials in the Navy Department during
Llncoln's and Johnson's administrations, after
they had gone out of office his suspicious were
aroused that they had made great deal of money
In conversation with a friend upon the subject, he
inveighed against them with great earnestness as
dishonest and corrupt scoundrels, who had made
thousands and thousands Of dollars while in Office.

We are as far as ever from knowing the fate of
the Republication amendment in Arkansas, as this
mornings dispatches state that the
count upon that head has not begun
vet. But inasmuch as the Democratic newspapers
are claiming that the amendment is de-
feated and taking great credit to the party for
the alleged defeat, 1t may not BIO amiss to sGate
again the facts with regard to the parentage Of that
amendment. Ex-senator Dorsey tersely summed
them up the other day in a dispatch to THE TRIB-
UyE. The amendment was adopted by LEGISLATURE
almost unanimously Democratic and has since been
supported by the mass Of the party. The Demo-
cratic editor in the East labors to make 1t appear
that because Arkansas Is now overwhelmingly Dem
ocratic the defeat OF the amendment II 1t has been
defeated, must be Democratic work. The truth is
that 1t was tho work Of tho Republican party. The

4 WORD TO SIVINGS BANK DEPOSITORS
The savings bank depOsitOrs of this State
have a stake in the result of the coming
election. The January report Of the Bank
Superintendent showed that the savings
banks hold rs investments S119, 9S5, 900, or
in round numbers 1920, 100000, of United
States bonds at par. These bonds were worth
in open market, ut the average advance of
premiums $6,360,0O0 more on the Friday
before the Maine election than they were on
the same day last year. The advance on the
bonds actually held by the savings banks
must have been greater than this, because their
holdings are mostly Of four-and-a-half per
cents and four per cents in which the largest
advances have been made. With Confed-
crate Congress and Democratic President of
imitation and Greenback sympathies, what
would become of this premium on the pre-
miumsl The Maine election gave us hint.
The mere rumors of ACCOMPLISHMENTS
victory sent four per cent bonds down three
eighths of 1 per cent. In other words, the
bare suggestion of such victory reduced for
a time the market value of the resources Of
the savings banks of this State by $45O,0OO.
The change was instantly felt in London, as
well as in New-York.
The premiums On United States bonds con-
stitute an important part of the resources of
the banks. fall of 10 per cent would mean
loss of $4,000 900, and the total sur
plus of tie 1913 savings banks in the
State is but little more than double this
amount-$34, ISL .952 Every intelligent news
paper reader knows that the news of a Demo-
cratic victory Is almost invariably followed by
a fall in the price of Government bonds, and
can form his own conclusions as to the result
which would attend, not the mere anticipation
of Democratic mlsrule, but the realization of
it. The July report OF the Bank Supenn-
tendent showed that there were $4,000 de-
positors in the savings banks. Every voter
among these who casts his ballot for Hancock
deliberately deprecates his own property and
lessons the security upon which the savings of
perhaps many years depend.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1880-09-20

there Is no danger about the result in Indiana
That is pretty plain talk. IL means simply n a,
whoeyef Will cross the border from Kentucky and
vote the Democratic ticket III Indiana can be sure
of his pay from English This is another yarictg Of
the untrammelled ballot"
The record Hancock has made dnring the past
few days completely disposes of the claim that he
rs any more trustworthy than the party that is run
ming him.
