 In round numbers, S3,OOO.o00,- O0Ol sum greater than the total of the public debt at tha close of the war. This does not include the Confederate bonds or rebel pen sions which they claim should also be paid by the Government. A memorial has already been prepared to be presented to Congress when the proper time arrives, asking that all the aforementioned losses and claims be paid in per cent. 10o- year bonds. Tine idea that the Government owes and ought to pay all damages occasioncd by the war throughout the South Is firmly i'm bedded in the Southern mind, and no man can be elected to office in that section who dares proclaim himself opposed to paying these claims. Bills for some of the amounts have already been reported favorably by the Committee on War Claims in the House. If the Solid South should gain the Presi- dency there would be no veto to fear. and the Government would be compelled 10 pay all the losses sus- -taimed by ;hc South in the unholy war of the rebellion; and three fDur.hs of tie amount would come out of the pockets of tn people of she Nolth. Would they submit to il? They would not; but, in op- posing. they would be placed in the attitude of rebels themselves; and our heart grows sick at the thought of the magnitude and horrors of the sanguirary conflict that would in evitably cnsue. But we do not be- lieve that the patriots who pre- served tiiis glorious Union are yet prepared to surrender it i.rto the hands of those wEo so lately at tempted its destruction. We feel confident that Garfield will be the next President.

The Expositor, the other evcn- ing, stated that R. Gonzales had been arrested for drunk and dis. orderly conduct The gentleman is one of our best and most respect able citizens. and was not arrested on this or any other charge but, as he is a thorough Republican and a prominent worker in that cause, we presume that is the reason the slur was cast. The Expositor will not advance the cause of its party by such means.

EDITOR HERALD-I ask your indulgence to offer au explanation ol my conduct at the Democratic meeting in the Court House, Satur day evening last, to those wio were there and 10 those who have since learned of the occurrence. Being present at tie meeting of the Dem ocratic club at which it was an- nounced that \. D. Lemon would give talk on .'the public questions of principle and policy about which the two graphical Ia word he has, with his usual free and easy style, used somewhat originally parties of the country differ" and hearing an invitation given to the Repub- licans present tn come as ''it would do them good" I was one of those, who, on that evening fell in to the wake of the band used for drumming Hp a crowd, and followed it into the Court House. I had come only for my own edification, and not. as is stated in last even ing's ExpoSi;or. as a representative of the HERALD. To learn what could be said by q Democrat On the suiject, WAS my sole obj ct and desire. Instead of listening to calm discussion of those ouestions on which the two graphical parties differ, I was treated 10 a rehash of those argu- ments to suppress which Republi- can arnli, s fought four years against armed rebellion in the field, and cowardly northern Coppcrheads at home, in order 10 aveIt the ruin of the country. Should 1 rem tin quiet and silently acqaiesce il the statement of principles obIiterated forever in a delugc of brothers blood, simple cut of dtfcrence to n politician, who, by stirring up dead issues, struve to awaken anew the fires of frat.rnal hatred in the hearts of his hearers for the purpose of mak- ing political capital and becoming q pensiontr an our taxpayers. No For the dcsolate hcarths.oEes of the North and South arose, in the names of brave lost ones, tO protest against such conduct, and the si- lent fiel1s, crowded with the mar bic that marks the resting place of not Copperheads-those who up held oa the fl i'd of battle, and sealed with their life's blood their faith in the jus!ness of their cause. echoed the protest. To again raise the now cntolnbed spectre of States rights Is but tear afresh the half healed wound caused by the Re beliion. and place the country once more on the road to inter neciHe strife. As one whc detests al.d ab- hGrs inc split ct q nun who would forward his selfish aims by such means, I expressed my disapproba- ton, and as result was, by the scrgeaut-at arms, ejcc:ed from the meeting 1 felt that what 1 had done was far from wrong. while the sergeant-at-arps probably enjoyed the sweet consciousness of having done his duty.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. IA, 1SS0,-Since
last | wrote Mr.. Garfield has stumped the
state of New York, and uttered more gush,
drIvel and platitude than almost any other
American is capable of crowding into the same
time and space. Mr. Garfield has been in
prominent public life for eighteen years with
out having expressed an original idea or
suggestive sentence. What a contrast in his
oratorical bosh to those luminous, courageous,
grandy patriotic speeches made by the late
Mr.. Greeley. In one of his recent speeches he
Heightened his audience, which, by the way,
was not composed of Sunday school children,
upon the reasons why tigers, bears and lions,
though warlikc, do not erect monuments to
their dead heroes. The truth is that Gen. Gar
field is intellectually as we'll as morally limp.
know that many will be incredulous on this
point and ask the question how can man
devoid of the highest moral and intellectual
attributes to the candidate of the party of pro-
gress and moral ideas. But the questioner for
gets that progress and moral ideas
are merely traditions with the modern
republican party, and that the party
now has but one idea TO hold on to the
100, 900 offices by fraud or force. To this end
an enormous pulpy man like Garfield who
can be moulded into any desired shape VIII

bench of the United States was prostltucd to

democrat, was as basely outraged as if an Eu-
ropcan prince had fortified himselfln the White
House and rewarded the conspirators, who,
under the forms of post .tdctO law made his
usurpatlon possible The American people
were IN a fine state OF Indignation four years
ago and it will soon be seen whether their
righteous rage has cooled, whether their keen
sense of wrong has been bluned by time and
good crops The issue is wonderfully distinct,
1t would seem as though Providence had Sc
lected as IA candidate one of the tainted visit
ing statesmen, one of the electoral eight, III or
der that the wayfarlng voter, though TOOL,
need not err in his ballot. This election Will
a, least settle one question, and the history OF
the world has never presented more niolhcul'
Gus one. it is the question of elective fran
chlse, of selfgovernment If Mr.. Garfield shall
be elected 1t will be proved conClusively that
the majority can find no vindicatlon in the
ballot box, that there is no remedy for the
most outrageous usurpations, and thousands
sick of the farce of popular government Will
not go to the polls again. When Mr. TlIden
was not rcnominated the republican press
claimed that the fraud issue had been ignored.
The fraHd issue involves more than the polltl-
cal fortunes of Mr.. Tildcn, it involves the po-
itca fortunes of the American people. The
republican party have given sufficient con-
spicuousness to the Issue in nominating Wis.
iung statesman and a member of the electoral
commission.
