Democratic Pretences.

The Democratic party, for more than
five years, has had control Of one branch
of Congress, and for nearly two years of
both branches. What has it done, or
proposed to do, to benefit the public, or
to evince any disposition to bring about
reformsP 1t set out with a great pre-
tence of reducing the expenditures of
the Government. 1t clipped here and
there the salaries of clerks or reduced
their number, and, in some cases, seri-
ously obstructed the public business. It
withheld necessary appropriations for a
time to show a reduction of expenses,
but was compelled to make them good
by deficiency bills.
In 1875, the last year in which the Re
publicans had majority in both Houses,
the appropriations were s145,714,94G.
At the next session the Democrats con-
trolled the House, and, by refusing to
appropriate for some of the most neceS-
sary expenses of the Government, re-
duced the appropriations to 24,122,01O,
aid the following year, in order to CO.
cree the President, by failure to pass
the Army bill and to provide for other
necessary expenses, they reduced the
appropriations to $SS,356,9e3 but at the
following session, to make good these
deficiencies and to repair the faults
committed, they appropriated S172,O16,-
500, being S25,000,0O0 more than was ap-
propriated in 1915; and in 1880 they ap-
propriated S162, ,4O4, ,647 ;and for 1881 they
have appropriated $154,11S,212, or ST.
100000 more than the appropriations
made the last year the Republicans con-
trOlled the House.
Thus it appears that the boasted econ
omy of Democratic House, in time of
profound peace, in spite of the large re-
ductions made by Republican Admin
istration, has resulted in anincrsase of
appropriations from year to year.
During all this time the Democrats
have proposed no reduction of taxes and
no measure of relief to the industrial
interests ofthe country.-Sec'y Sherman
at Cincinnati, Aug. 80.

JUDGE BLACK ON GARFIELD.
The Latter Pronounced the Strongest
Intellectually,and Morally the Equal
Of ANY in His Party.

PHILADELPHIA, August 3O-A cor
respondent of the Press has been inter
viewing Judge Black at York, and in
reply to "A question as to his estimate of
Garfield, he said:

my published letter to Mr. Blaine. What
l said then of him was true, and is
true with regard to the Credit MObilier

will say, that believe that Garfield told
me the truth about it. He would not
do anything else. I watched the deyel-
opments Of the investigation, and saw
nothing in that to altar my opinion. l
will tell you Gen. Gartield's hands were
clean IN that transaction, as ne ALWAYS
has kept them, but he unfortunately
adopted the false defense of those who
were guilty, and who expected Cakes
Ames to swear them through, instead of
standing Oh his true and good defense
and leaving the guilty to their fate.
There was his devotion to party. It
was urged upon him as party necessi-
ty, and he yielded to that, as he ALWAYS
will. His party demsnded the sacrifice.

The Charges Against Hancock.

The statements that have been made
with so much circumstantiality and def
niteness about the character for brutal
ity, profanity. and vulgarity sustained
by General Hancock during the war
leave the Democracy only one of two al
ternatives by way of defense either the
charges are true, as there would seem to
be no room for doubt, or they are GRIM
inally libelous in their character. They
have not been sprung upon the country
just before election so that there is no
time left for properly answering them.
There are now more than two months re-
manning in which to arrest and bring to
trial all these gentlemen who have made
the charges, and in case this be done
and it be shown that they have been
actuated by vicious and false motives in
their action they can be punished and
Gen. Hancock vindicated. In case some
thing of this sort is not done it must be
taken for granted that there is no chance
for SO doing and that the statements are
true. The vehement denial of the
charges that is INDUCED in by the DEM
ocratic press will not be accepted as suf-
ficient. Here are men on the one side
who have no motive in the world that
can be discovered except to tell the
truth, whe assert that in divers ways
and on sundry occasions Hancock ILL
treated his men, and INDUCED in abusive
language to subordinates. The men who
made these statements are generally
those who served under him and who
would under ordinary circumstances
have become attached to him as men
generally do to humane commander,
but in this case they are filed with ha-
tired and disrespect. What soldier who
served under Grant, Hayes, or Garfield,
but honors and loves him in such man
ner that he would be willing to do al
most anything for him, even to the lay
ing down of his life. Who ever heard
of charges similar to these having been
made against any other Union officer OF
prominencep
And now, last of all, comes Professor
Shurtliff of Oberlin College, who was
Inspector General of the Ninth Army
Corps, and says that he has no doubt of
the truth of the charges made against
Hancock, for they are exactly in accord
ance with the character of the man. On
the day before the battle of Fredericks-
burg General Shurtliff was with General
Hancock and heard him abuse in the
most outrageous manner commission
ed officer of his command. General

of the brutal commander for a consider

every country road. Before noon 10000
strangers were in the city. according to

having soft side for self-made men

crowded through masses of humanity to

By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know
Them.

Let US judge Major General Hancock
by this rule. If, when he was in power,
he bestowed all his favors upon ex-Con-
federates and protected their lawless
course, it is but fair to suppose that he
would do the same if put in power
again.
In September, 1867. General Sheridan
telegraphed to General Grant:
Last night the largest political as
sembly which ever collected together in
this city, mostly of colored people, pa
raded the streets of New Orleans with
out the slightest disturbance. l had
made every preparation should any dis
turbance occur, but did not show pub
licly a single soldier. l desired to make
this case a test one, and the result was
most satisfactory"
This was the condition which General
Sheridan had brought about by his Wig
orous administration. His stern sense
of duty, his unyielding loyalty and his
determination to maintain order had
brought peace out of anarchy. He had
cowed down the skulking assassin and
forced the lawless desperate to terms of
peace. His subOrdinates in different
parts of his district acted in harmony
with him, and under the prevailing quiet
there was rapidly growing up respect
for law and justice which would have
destroyed the sectional character of the
South.
AT this juncture General Winfield
Scott Hancock entered upon the scene
The work of restoring anarchy began.
The law-breaking officials removed by
Sheridan were all recalled to power In
restoring them General Hancock said
that if charges had been made against
them they should be brought before the
civil courts, though he knew the courts
were nearly all in the hands of the ex-
rebels. AL loyal men holding offices III
the State were guillotined. While pre-
tending a deep respect for the civil au-
thority, he elected nine loyal men from
the Board of Aldermen. Hancock went
on removing loyal men wherever he
could, and replacing them by traitors.
The old secessionists soon had their own
way. Union men were ostracised,
driven out of the Department or muir
dered The murderers, whom Hancock
left to the courts. were not only acquit-
ted, but eulogized and honored for their
crimes.
Hancock was in power only four
months. The fruits of his despotic
reign were: the enfranchisement of the
rebel enemies of the country; the con-
version of the courts into sanguinary
refugees for assassins; the degradation
of National authority; the suppression
of free speech the inauguration of arm
ed violence and brutal ferocity over law.
These are among the fruits of Han
cocks brief career, and they prefgure in
a slight degree the terrible results,
which would follow his administration
of the National Government for four
years.

WADE HAMPTON has not been sue

WADE HAMPTON has not been sue
cessful in explaining. His speech at
Staunton, Va, as reported in the local
papers, stands upon the affidavits of sew
eral responsible men who heard its de-
livery. The only thing surprising about
the incident is that the General should
have undertaken to dispute the accuracy
of the reports. The language used at
Staunton is harmonious with that of his
speeches in 1868. As the author of the
plank in the Democratic platform of
that year denouneing the reconstruction
acts as unconstitutional and void-an
opinion he has at no time recanted-he
must hold the constitutional amend
ments under which the reconstruction
acts were drawn to be equally nuga-
tory. Those amendments override the
essential principles for which Lee and
Jackson fought; the amendments and
the principles can not coexist under the
same Government. II the principles
triumph, it follows that the amendments
must be set aside, and the South be at
liberty to restore the state of things
which existed before the war.
That it is the purpose to do so, in so
far as to deprive the colored people of
the South of political and civil rights.
which is measurably done now in spite
of the amendments, We do not doubt for
a moment. The aggressive character of
Southern politics leaves no reason to
suppose reactionary measures will not
be pushed with vigor until every YES
tige of the war measures is wiped from
the statute books. Some Northern Dem
ocrats affect to pretend that their ultra
policy will be resisted, but Northern
Democracy is weak reed to rely upon.
1t will bend with every southern wind
that blows. 1t can be safely depended
upon now, as before the w-r, to execute
the will of its Southern MASTER Gin.
