The nomination of Hon. Edward F. Jones of Branford by the Republicans of the Sixth senatorial district is a strong one MT. Jones has represented Branford in the Legislature, and while there did excellent and important work as member of the Committee on In- surance. t5e is a working Republican, ca pablo and successful business man, and will do good service in the Senate. We are glad to be able to add that his election is certain
 People are too apt to think that if they do not vote on election day it will not make much difference, but it does sometimes. The importance of single vote was shown in the Maine election clerk in the Second Audi tors office at Washington, whose residence is in Pennington, Me, felt so sure that the Re- publicans would have a majority there that he did not go home to vote. When the bal lots in Pennington were counted the Fusion ists had carried the town and elected their member of the Legislature by one majority.
 New Haven has nothing to be proud of in the fact that Democratic banner was on Saturday evening taken from it's position over the principal street and torn and cut in pieces, and Yale college has special reason for modification because the deed was the work of some young men whose minds are supposed to be undergoing 8 broadening process there. It was very disreputable performance and better suited to such a place as Yazoo than New Haven. We are glad to know that prompt action is to be taken by the students to show their disap- proval of the act of few of their number
 The claim is often made by the Democrats that a large proportion of the negroes in the Southern States have joined the Democratic party. In this way they attempt to explain the large Democratic majorities and the al- most entire disappearance of the Republican vote in those States. The claim has been made so consistently that some people may perhaps, have been led to believe that it was not altogether without foundation The Richmond Dispatch, leading Democratic paper in Virginia, is candid enough to con- fess that, so far as that State is concerned, the negro vote is almost solidly Republican It says: If we were to admit that there are ], ,000 negroes in Virginia who are Demo crats, we would admit too much Out of 112, ,0o0 negro voters there are certainly no

THE CAMPAIGN IDIOT" OF THE
INTELLIGENCE8

Philadelphia Times, lud.
The following extract from what pur-
ports to be a speech recently delivered
by Senator Wade Hampton at Staun-
ton, Va, has been copied into many
public journals, and is displayed con-
spicuously from day to day by some OF
the more reckless organs:
Consider what Lee and Jackson would
do were they alive. These are the same
principles for which they fought for
Jour years. Remember the men who
poured forth their life blood on Viz
ginia soil, and do not abandon them
now. Remember that upon your vote
depends the success OF the Democratic
ticket.
Senator Hampton did deliver aspeech
at stanton lately, but it contained no
such sentences nor anything like the
foregoing. His attention having been
called to the false report, he promptly
denied it and publicly repudiated the
sentiment.
Another extract purpOrting to be from
a speech delivered in South Carolina by
Senator BUTLER, proves to have been
fabricated out OF the whole cloth; but
the organs keep it standing in their col
umns from day to day, without attempt
ing to inquire whether they are truth
fully or falsely representing the speaker.
Another extract from an anonymous
speech, purporting to have been deliv-
cred somewhere in Alabama, declaring
that "the Confederacy still exists is
honored by the organs with repeated
publications.; but it is so palpably false
that even the few readers OF party Or
CANS won't be likely to give it import
ance. The campaign idiots who run
riot in the columns OF organs, seem to
assume that We are a nation OF political
IDIOTS and that the common sense and
intelligence sof the people may be at.
fronted with ippunity in all partisan
contests.

MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC

The Executive Committee of the
Democracy Of West Virginia met in
Parkersburg yesterday afternoon. As
will be observed in the REGISTERS
special dispatch from that city. the Hon.
d. H. LEONARD, member Of the commit

was elected chairman, and H. K. How
ARD, Esq, member from the Fifth dis
trict, was made secretary. Under the
management Of these gentlemen the
campaign will be conducted systemati-
cally and with such vigor and spirit that
will move the State into the very front
of the Democratic ranks, at least as lar
as brilliant campaign and the size oil
the majority that will be rolled in on
our two election days, is concerned.
The meeting OF the Committee was
harmonious and profitable one. lie
opinions and views OF the members, as
well as of many prominent Democrats
throughout the State, were gwen Win

ports were t the eff, C: that the Democ-
racy in every city, town and hamlet IN
the State was united, enthusiastic and IN
good working order; ready to prosecute
the most vigorous campaign ever un-
,lertaken in this State. The party will
90 into the campaign tremendously and
with more perfect organization than
we have ever had.
There is reason to believe that the
rartv lines will be stronger than ever
and the majority largely increased.

WHEN somebody who knew as little
of GARrIxLD's record as the men who
subsequently voted for him suggested
his name as a means of breaking the
deadlock in the Convention, the leading
Republican newspaper OF Ohio warned
the party not to touch it. That name,
il said, was stained all over with corrup-
ton, and would not stand the fire OF the
press for fortnight. But the warning
came too late, and GARFIELD was nomi-
mated as the only way OF escape from
GRANT. And now the GRANT men are
inclined to let the people who 'nomina.
ted him elect him-if they can.

A RIr OF HISTORY.

II was the general feeling everywhere
at the time the Credit Mobilier scandal
came out that the statesmen who we're
mixed up in that affair we're politically
dead and that they would, when their
official terms we're ended, retire to Q
lasting and merited obscurity. General
BurLER once emphasized this idea in the
case OF GARFIELD in debate in the
House short time after the connection
Of that gentleman with the Credit Mob
ilier became known. We find the story
rs told by JOHN RUSSELL You've in the
Philadelphia Star OF the winter OF 1873
as follows:
Yesterday, during a debate on the
postoffice appropriation bill, when Myers
was trying to have the pay OF the over
worked letter carriers raised to re.
spectacle figure, General Butler favored
the proposition and pitched into the
Postoffice Department. Garfield was
managing the bill, and feeling annoyed
at Bullets remarks, said it was merely
spite work. Butler retoNed and Gar
field replied that no didn't care 10 have
any personal quarrel with the gentle
man. Butler, as quick as flash rose
and waving his hand significantly at
Garfield, said: God knows | don't
want anv quarrel with the gentleman.
| d. D,ortais NIL nisi bOnum," which In good
United States language, means that 1t
was not Buffers desire TO hit man
when he was down. This speech struck
Garfield like a thunderbolt. He sat
down in his seat utterly speeches. and
demoralzed. The whole house saw the
fierceness Of the speech and fora minute
or more there was death-like silence.
Ii was sad and very painful.
Like General BUTLER the people gener-
ally would have been willing to apply
the maxim and "say nothing but good
OF the dead" in General 6 ARFIELD's case
but he refused to stay dead and, by the
fortunate circumstance OF living in a
district having an overwhelming Re
publican majority he succeeded in evad'
| ing the tate which beiel most OF his less
fortunate colleagues in that disastrous
business.

Truth from a Republican Newspaper


From the Newton Republican, Aug. II.
The testimony OF Cakes Ames that
Garfield agreed to take ten shares OF the
| Credit Mobilieris recorded, as is also
the statement that Garfield received
1929 as dividends from those shares,
KNOWN. that it was dividend; and we
believe Mr.. Ames told the truth, all the
biographers in the country to the con
trary, Notwithstanding.
Is there any good reason why Repub-
lican voters, who believe in honest
practices and the selection of clean men
for administering the Government,
should support one man who has been
guilty OF bribe-taking, when they have
refused to support another equally cor
rupt?
The better portion OF the Republican
party were opposed to the nomination
OF James q. Blaine because OF the very
strong evidences of his guilt in receiy-
ing bride from the Credit Mobiier. Is
1t consistent for this portion OF the party
to look with any more favor upon James
A. Garfield, against whom the evil
dence is just as strong that
he too was guilty OF like
offence? Hardly day passes that
We do not hear some good-natured Re-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. prominent bust
ness men-express themselves as being
dissatisfied with the ticket, but that I'VE
ought to make the best OF it," and We
respectfully ask them il they would be
willing to act on the same principle
when employing a book-keeper, whom
they knew to be dishonest, to take
charge OF their cash? OF course the an
swer would be in the negative.
II the honest voters OF the country
men who desire the prosperity and hap
p;ness OF the whole people, regardless
of party-realiy want to make the
best of the situation it seems to us that
there are but two ways by which they
can act conscientiously, viz, either to
cast their votes for Hancock, or to vote
for some Republican statesman with a
clean record, like Edmunds, or what
will be better, perhaps, make the best
oil it" by not voting at all.

TILE rRuTH PRECISELY.

From A speech by Thomas A. Hendricks, q,
Marion, Indiana.
Garfield's nomination means the en-.
dorsement and approval in the most
positive and offensive manner possible
of the Presidential fraud OF 1851. He
had more to do with it than any other
man, and was the only man who occu-
pied toward it double relation. After
the election Garfield went to New Or
leans by request OF Gen. Grant, without
authority OF law, as partisan. He went
there to assist his party in making up a
case. and after his return to Washing
ton, OF all his associates he was the only
man who took his seat upon the Elec
toral Commission. By every sentiment
ofiair 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 packards Custom
House he did his work, examined the
affi lavits, and when they were not sui
ficiently full, he prepared or had pre-
pared additional interrogatories to bring
them within the rules adopted by the
Returning Board. The testimony, so
received by Garfield, went back to the
Returning Board, and the result was
that West Feliciana with its Democratic
majority was thrown out. In Washing
ton Gariield's vote was that Congress
could not 90 behind the returns thus
made. AS agent for his party he helped
to make returns by manipulating the ev'
idence; and as jurymen for the nation
he held such evidence as conclusive and
binding
