Rarnum,s Defense OF Tildcn.

And now comes William II. Barnum, chair
man of the democratic national committee,
and in answer to tho charge that Tilden
was false to Hancock in the campaign
of 1850, declares that the old sinner was
not only not false, but that he contrib
uted $4,000 to the corruption fund of
the campaign. We say corruption fund
advsedly, because it is now being given out
with most solemn emphasis by the virtuous
democratic press that there is no honest use
to which money can be put in political cam
paigns. This view being accepted as true, we
have the testimony of the chairman of the
democratic national committee that that
injured saint, Samuel j. Tildon, forgot
his piety in a moment Of party en-
thusiasm and ordered the purchase of
$4,000 worth of votes for Hancock,
giving at the same time his check for that
sum, payable to the order of Hon. William
L. Scott, who paid it over to Mr.. Charles j..
Canda, the treasurer of the committee. All
tral national organ, which conludes the chap
ter by remarking that this ought 10 silence
contemplate piece of political calumny."
We are quito of this latter opinion. From
this time on, when any scofrer shall charge
Tilden with having failed in his duty to
Hancock, let tho check be produced, which
proves that "the old man" put up $685.
600 to aid in the corruption of American
voters, as clearly as it is possible for demo-
cratic editors to prove that campaign funds
are necessarily for corrupt purposes. Sing
Oh, they told me you were false,
But still believe you true

Right Makes Might.

Dominant men and parties exist only by
virtue of right and justice Law is the en-
bodimcnt of power for the enforcement of
right against wrong, They are emanations
from popular intelligence and will in behalf
of public and private safety and progress.
Men, parties, aud principles founded upon
wrong never have aught but temporary
sway, and then only because of their
ture could be distorted into the sanction of
human bondage the party defending that
travosty upon liberty succeeded in attaining
and retaining power in America. 1t needed
but popular appreciation of the subject to
cause the mask to be removed and the pre-
tenders to be dragged from their pinnacles
The summum bonum Of human law, as well
as divine, is rectitude Wrong must ever be
subservient when properly known, The only
reason that can fully explain the triumph of
republican principles for the past quarter of n
century is that they wero right. Panoplied
in justice they have been invinclble
Occasionally however, the public is treated
to editorial and oratorical announcements of
the decay and death of the republican party
A favorite expression in tho democratic house

New Indian Schools.

Inspector Haworth, who has general super

Gently returned to this city from the west,
reports good progress in the construction and
equipment of the new industrial Indian
schools to be established in accordance with
the provisions of the last Indian appro-
priation bill. The school building at Chilocco
Indian territory, will be finished by Oct. l,
and will be opened for the reception of $50
pupils in January next The schools at Law
renee Kan, and at Genoa, Neb., will accom-
modate $50 pupils each, and will also be
opened in January. When these are COM
pleted the Indian schools throughout the
country will accommodate 10,250 pupils
Inspector Haworth says that the attend
ance during the present year has been much
larger than in any preceding year, a result to
be attributed to realization by the Indians
that they must look to pursuits other than the
chase for means of subsistence in the future
The industrial schools about to be opened
will be Of higher grade than the ordinary
agency schools, as pupils attending them will
be taught useful trades in addition to course

petuity Of our national existence. Republi-

tion enacted by the representatives of those

Tho republican party began its mis-

which trumphed because It was right. It
stands to-day to prevent tho welding of fet-
ters upon the limbs of laboring men of every
nationality represented under the egis of

made to bring our people into that condition
which would result from unrestricted compe-

long will the republican party withstand the

nant in national affairs.

An English Captain Refuses TO Stop Until
the Ewing Fires Several Shots at Her.
A decided sensation was occasioned in
Hampton Roads last Monday by a United
States steamer, with the stars and stripes fly
ing at her masthead, firing six cannon in
rapid succession at q large steamship flying
the British flag The occurrence caused
number of sensational reports, one of which
was that war had been declared by the United
States against England.
All such reports, however, were disproved
by report received yesterday by Surgeon
General Hamilton, of the marine hospital SER
vice, from the quarantine authorities at
Hampton Roads, which states that British
steamer bound for Baltimore, and in charge
of a Baltimore pilot, while coming in the
capes Monday, was signaled by the revenue
cutter Ewing, but kept on at full speed and
refused to respond BY order of the COM
manding officer of the Ewing, three blank
cartridges were then fired at the English
steamer, and upon her failure to re-
spond to this invitation, the gun
was loaded with canister, and discharged
across her bow. This shot also failed in it's
mission, and the persistent steamer kept on.
Another canister was fired across her stern,
and one through her rigging, but still the
Britisher plowed the salty water with her
head toward Baltimore. This 30 exasperated
the captain of the revenue cutter that he or
dered the gunners to "load up" with solid
shot, fully determined to riddle the steam
ship, when the captain of the latter, thinking,
perhaps, that discretion was the botter part
of valor," brought his vessel to a standstill.
She was then boarded by the crew of the Ew-
ing and thoroughly inspected and afterward
proceeded on her way to Baltimore.

flag to the protcctonists The taritT-for-

the revenue tax should be adjusted as far as
possible so as to aid tho American industries in
the proportion in which they can least bear

is these struggling industries, striving
to get on their feet, that "can least bear

Tho American industry which can least
bear foreign competition" is that of the
workingman laboring for daily wages.
If tho democratic party will follow
Senator Beck in his adoption Of the
republican tariff doctrine, tho campaign of

issue. Tho people can then devote them
selves to turning rascals out, whether found
