upon the task Of discovering facts, which
proved, when produced, to be OF uniVer'
sal acceptance, and which the South
herself has never sought to conceal or
disguise.
Since the war the South has pleaded
poverty frankly. She has never ceased
to tell The world how much she was In
iured by secession. This known power
ty, from which she is now but slowly
emerging, has been one OF her. pest
claims upon the forbearanCe OF the
North. Ii was good and sufficient rea'
son why federal legislation should not
have been directed to crushing out the
spirit of selfreliance and recovery
wherever she showed it. 1t was a rea'
son whv Congress should have develop
ed healthy Union feeling at the South.
Considering the terrible losses suffered
by the South during the war OF the re
bellion and the era Of misgoVernmenlt
which followed it, and the recent bu:l'
ness depression which afflicted her IN
common with the rest Of the country, we
think she has no reason to be ashamed
of the exhibit made for her by Secretary
Sherman. She is much better OF than
she thought she would be fifteen years
ago, at the close of Ave years Of war, that
left her wasted and worn, But, what
ever the degree of her poverty may now
be, it is not a proper subject for ofhcial
comment, Poverty may not be a merit;
but it is not a crime. This is very bad
breeding, which can find in the strait
ened condition OF a man or q community,
material for Jokes or infammstory cam
paign documents. Such manners espec'
ially need correction when they are
found in the head Of federal depart
ment, Mr.. Sherman is an officer OF the
nation-not Of the North or the West
and it is a pure impertinenCe and a gross
disCourtesy on his part to use bis othclaI
position to run down the South, to hold
her up to the disCredit not only of the
North and West, but Of the whole
world. This is a case covered by the
proverb about the kind of bird that fouls
it's own nest. The secretary intends to
limit the injury of his publication to the
South. But 80 far ss it shall be read and
believed abroad, it will do damage to the
whole country, impairing foreign conf
denCe in our general resources, and re-
tarding immigration to every part OF the
United States.
The point of the doCument-that for
which the unnecessary questions were
asked and answered-is to show hat the
South, being 80 much poorer than the
North, ought to take much humber
part in national affairs Under form
of government like ours, nothing could
be eillier than this reasoning. Men, not
money bags, fought toy make our laws

1T CAN'T BIZ STOPPED.

Almost every Republican newspaper
deems it necessary to assert that General
Hancock is the candidate Of party that
gave him no sympathy when he was
fighting the battles Of his country" The
fact that majority Of the enlisted men
who fought under Hancock, and a ma
jority of the enlisted men in the Union
army were Democrats, is carefully ignor-
ed by all the Radical organs, and they
90 on asserting, as they have done for
the last fifteen years, that the Republic
can party conquered the rebellion.
They put the case as a war between
the two parties, instead of sectional
contest, and in thus doing, insult the
memory of that vast number Of Demo-
Gratis who died in defending the integrity
OF the Union and the honor OF the old
flag.
Had the Democratic party in the North
taken the side of the South, the war wo'd
scarcely have had a beginning. The
cause Of the Confederacy would inevita'
bly, have triumphed. It is base and in
solent to the last degree for the Republic
cans to slander any portion OF the men
whose valor and patriotism saved the
Union;a the claim that the Republican
party destroyed the rebellion is villain
GUS and libellious on the living and on
the dead.
1t Is true that the Southern soldiers,
who are declared by Gen. Grant to be as
loyal as the soldiers Of the North, are
going to vote with the men who fought
against them. Most of the survivors of
both armies will vote for Hancock. And
only small portion of the soldiers OF
one section will vote for Gen. Garfield.
His soldier support is sectional, Han
cocks is national; and this fact tYpifes
the candidates,
Peace has her viCtores-greater, bet
ter, grander than the blood bought tri-
umphs of armies. This union Of the
brave and honest men who, on both
sides, settled he questions which in
1861 were referred to the court of last
resort, the arbitrament of war-the raj
lying of the best manhood of the North
and South under the standard of tried
and true patriot like Hancock, is such a
triumph Of peace a9 every man who
loves his country should hail with joy

YET ANOTHER CONVERT.

Henry A. Hlgley, Republican who was born
and raised In Ohio in the Congressional district
represented by Gen. Garfield but who is now do
ing business in New York, says that he gladly
adds his name TO the list Of Republicans who in
tend to vote for Gen. Hancock. "The policy Of
peace and harmony" he says, was the prevail
ing one of the leading Republican newspapers
while Grant was talked of for President, hut
since Garaeld's nomination a change has taken
place The bloody shirt has been raised again,
and the leading Republican newspapers, as well
as the leading Republic ans, are shamefully
abusing the Southern people and the Democratic
party and are making an effort to keep in power
by SO doing. Under the circumstances Garfield
shall not have my vote, as l think 1t time this
should be stopped Gen. Hancock will, l
think, make good and able President. Let US
have peace,
