The Difference.

Hancock is the soldier, bold, frank,
truthful. Garfield is the politician
who owned Credit Mobilier stock and
accepted fees from managers of cor
rupt rings. Hancock has the courage
of his opinions and stands by them TO
the end; Garfield is wavering and
treacherous, using words Of double
meaning and seeking the applause Of
men of different opinions. Hancock
fights in the open field; Garfield is the
trickster and pretender who stabs his
friends in the back and makes way
with the spOils. Hancock is the brave
defender of the rights Of the people, up
holding the Constitution, vindicating
the law and mainiaing the sovereign
ty of the people; Garfield is a "visi-
ting statesman" who to serve party,
connived at fraud assisted in classifying
the returns, forcibly deprived the PEG.

government, and, by trampling all

il war, succeeded in augurating a mi

NUMBER 45.

SENATOR HAMPToN's VIEWS
senator Wade Hampton, of South
Carolina, has expressed himself fuIlv
on the financial question to corre-
spondent of the New York Herald
tie is very. decided in his approval
OF the resolution recently introduced
by Senator Bayard, and expresses
himself strongly in favor of its adop-
ton and support by the Democratic
party. "Mr. Bayard," he said, sis
one of the comparatively few men in
Che country who had rather be right
than President, and his course in re-
gard to the currency has left no room
for doubt, If any man of any party
were disposed to doubt, that he is
guided in this matter solely by his
sincere, and, as believe, sound con-
vlctlons OF what will conduce to the
pest interests of the whole country.n
Continuing. Senator Hampton said
ihe. Democracy has always been a
f'afds aicAt !. sartidf fpasS i050iiEihasse en-
to seize the opportunity now presen-
ted of declaring its devotion to its
Old financial principles, and of plac-
ing. itselfsquarely on record, in their
support. There is absolutely nothing
to be gained by further compromises
with the soft>money theory. and
none should be made, in his. judg-
ment, Senator Hampton thinks the
financial question is, in fact, the real
ground upon which is based what
ever feelings of distrust and dislike
the North may entertain towards
the South. "The South" continued
Senator Hampton, ''requires only to
be fully. understood in order to be
fully trusted, but we can prove these
fact only by our action upon financial
questions as they come up in Cons
gress. A proper occasion for such
reassuring action is now presented,
as it seems to me, and the South
should put itself promptly and en-
phatically on record in support of a
settled financial policy, settled cur
rency and a settled country. But
whether we should succeed or fail,
whether it is expedient or not, 1
would make the fight on this issue
and on this line. 1t is the line of
consistency and principle, and we
had better be whipped fighting for
the right than to win upon any other
ground"

The Maine Fraud.

Tocharacterize adequately the per.
iormances of the Democratic Cover
nor and Council in Maine in exer
clsing the functions of Returning
Board would require very strong
language. The whole defence they
make-that the law obliges them to
exact rigid conformity to certain
rules In examining the election re-
turns-ls demolished by two facts.
One IS that the errors and omissions
which they haye discovered and used
occur only in towns and districts
in which the Republicans have
majority, and it passes belief that
none should be discovered or discoy-
cradle in towns and districts in
which the Democrats had majo.i-
ty. The other is that law of 1877
permits the Governor and Council.
when canvassing the returns, to cor
comparison with the record and
they refuse to avail themselves of
this permission, on the ground that
the law is unconstitutional. But it
Is wei! settled and necessary prin-
elDle OF American jurisprudence that
every law is to be deemed constitu
tional until competent tribunal de.
cldeS otherwise; and on this point
the Governor and Council refuse to
take the opinion of the court, thus
raising presumption of bad faith of
the strongest kind. They have no
more right to declare a law unconsti-
tutional than any other man in the
State; and if they can refuse toavail
themselves of permissive act on
this ground, they can refuse to obey
mandatory one. IN short, there is
high degree Of probability that
they have been guilty of fraud in ex-
amining and correcting the returns,
anG there is an absolute certainty
that the gross abuse Of discretion in
their manner of correcting them.
The Indignation their performance
excites in Maine and throughout the
country is not surprising, and it is
by no means confined to Republi
cans. The affair is calling forth also,
hearty denunciation i'll leading DEM
ocratic papers. We do not need to
point out the effect it is likely to
have on the Democratic fortunes
next year.-N. y. NutiOn.

G. A. Scott, a mulatto carpenter of
North Carolina, now at Washington
on his way home after a visit to In
diana, explains some of the grievan-
ces complained of by the colored
people of his native State. He says
there is a law enforced there called
1.-THE Farmers Tenant act," that
prohibits the renter from using any
thing at all from the farm until the
rent is paid. If he does, it is pen
itentlary crime. They cannot even
pick pea without getting the writ
ten consent of the owner of the land.
AS nothing can be obtained from the
crops till Christmas they have to live
the whole year on creditat hestores.
If one of the family is sick, and a
little money is required to get medi
cines, they cannot pick mess Of
peas to pay for it, without running
the risk of being thrown in to the
penitentiary and the chain gang.
The owners of the land have com
bined and agreed upon regular rent
for the farms, and no better terms
can be obtained, no matter where To-
Gated. He says his brethren have be-
come hopeless of any improvement
in their condition at home. The .jaiis
are full and the court houses are full,
but the colored people never get JUS
tice, as it is impossible to get an in
telligent colored man on jury. He
says that, although the land owners
do not shoot them down, they man.
age to keep them down. His report
of the condition of those who had ar
rived in Indiana was very encourag-
ing. All that he met had obtained
employment, and as they receive.
their wages in cash, they were saving
it to buy land, which they could not
do in North Carolina. Mr.. Scott de-
nies that there have been any white
men trying to further the exodus,
but says the feeling is widespread,
and that the colored people are deter
mined to so if they have to walk the
entire distance. They have found
out that they can buy land in the
West for much less than the rent de-
manded for single year in North
Carolina, and this is the strong in
ducement to the movement.

The Pennsylvania coal miners are
said to have become economical, and,
Notwithstanding their now constant
employment at improved prices,
are spending less than they used to
do when engaged in strikes. Some
of the newspapers look upon this as
a suspicious circumstance, and are
asking whether it indicates trouble
in the future. 1t is suspected that
there is. anothe secret labor organi-
zation, more certain of punishment
to informers. that has prevented the
solving of this mystery. The saloon
keepers, who usually are the first to
reap the advantage of an abundant
supply of money among the miners,
are now complaining that the times
are as bad with them as during the
panic. Other people will naturally
look upon this as a sign of improving
morality and be apt to congratulate
the miners thai they are saving at
least half of their wages instead OF
squandering all they make in drunk
en- orgies.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-01-03

The Democratic House of Repre-
sentativeS afforded to the country a
refreshing example of economy. Mr..
A. Hoar Smith, from the Committee
on Accounts, reported a resolution
providing for the appropriation of
$500 to pay the expenses incident to
the illness and death of Philip D..
Sayre, an under. doorkeeper of the
House. Mr.. Sayre was a thousand
dollar messenger, and died peaceful
iy at his home in Montgomery, Ala,
during the summer vacation. The
resolution also provides that the
widow of Sayre shall receive three
months pay. about $3.50 additional.
1t is customary to make allowances
of this nature when Congressman die
during term but until the last ses-
sion of the Forty-fifth Congress the
application of the principle to en-.
ployes is without precedent. On the
7th of last February a gratuity of
about 5000 was voted to the family of
old Douglass, the custodian Of the
House Water-cl0set, and on the 18th
of the same month an appropriation
was voted to the family of one Len
noX, a messenger under the Sergeant
alarms. If these precedents are
followed, the drain upon the Treas
ury will be something fearful, as out
of the large number of persons en-
ployed by the government, from the
President down to the major who at
tends to the spittoons, large numbers
must in the nature of things die an
nually. In the meantime the live
widow. with meritorious pension
claim, finds her difficulties in nowise
lessened by this growing tendency
to liberality on the part of Congress
toward its own employees.
