The character Of the resolutions passed at
the meeting in April, 1868, by the Democrats
Of Butler county, Ohio, held in st. Clair
township, and at which Mr.. Hendricks was
chief orator, is the best answer to his remark
able claim. now made, that during the war he
was q loyal man. The resolutions denounced
Abraham Lincoln as the Nero Of America,
demanded an armistice, and a union Of the
South and West, if a union Of all the States
could not be secured. So far as known Mr..
Hendricks did not denounce these resolutions,
and they followed the speech he made. Mr..
Hendricks was intensely loyal during the
wal. George William Curtis said he did his
best to destroy the government.

MR.. BLAINRls MARRIAGE.

AAAAt 0A1AAAo ~
The letter Of Mr.. Blaine in reply to the in
famous assault Of the Sentinel upon the good
name Of his wife and children, will touch a
responsive chord in the hearts Of all honorable
men, whatever be their partisan bias. Manly,
sincere, deeply regretting the necessity Of
such a duty, Mr.. Blaine has effectually dis
posed Of the ignominious assailants
of his home, and has indicated
himself in such manner as must
bring the blush Of shame to the cheek of de-
cent Democrats, who have no sympathy with
the dastardly methods pursued against the
Republican candidate, but who have not been
men enough to openly denounce them. Mr..
Blaine makes no defense Of his secret mar
rage, long known to his friends, and, like
the honorable man that he has ever proved
himself as husband and father, takes upon
himself all the blame that may attach to such
action. That the Kentucky ceremony
was regarded by each as binding
and sacred has been proved
in every subsequent act; in the
second ceremony at Pittsburg, performed to
remove any doubt that may have attached to
the first on account of technical informality;
in a lifelong devotion, one to the other, and
in a married life extending over more than a
third Of a century, and remarkable for its
purity and c~ongeniaiity.
Husbands and fathers have cause for con
graduation. The typical American home has
been fortified anew by this signal triumph
over themost malignant attack ever made upon
mothers will rejoice in heartfelt thankfulness
to-day for this victory over the fends who
have net hesitated to rayish and despoil the
home Of those who presumed to stand between
them and the objective spoils of Office, as
though these mean things could be placed in
the balance over against the good name of
woman and the love and sacredness of our
fresides.
The Democratic party has a fear
full responsibility to answer for in
this; for; while a few Democratic
papers have at intervals denounced or dis
countenanced the infamy.of the war against
virtue and against home, it has been done in
a perfunctory and half-hearted manner, and
the Democratic committees, State and ma
tional, have done nothing to stop it and drag
off the wretches so lost to shame as to attempt
to murder the virtue of women to get at the
plumber Of a political victory. The
Rev. Ball has declared that this
campaign is a struggle between
the brothel and the home. If that must be
the issue, that the latter will triumph is be
yond question. But the fight will have to be
kept up to the end. The constituencies SLAM
derers who have so maliciously sought to ira
duce one Of the noblest wives and mothers in
this Christian land, will not willingly give up,
but will continue to snarl and snap. The
great shame of compelling such a thing at the
hands Of any man as that wrung from Mr..
Blaine, in the defense of his wife and children,
is upon all the Nation. The people will see
that the fullest possible raparation is made.

Hoist by their Own Petard.

The Cecil Wing of last week says: "The un
justifable onslaught made upon Mr.. Creswell in
his own county, and the city of Baltimore, has
been signally rebuked at Hagerstown by the
pronounced defeat of the men who projected it.
The lesson is one easily read, and one which
aspiring local leaders in the Republican party
will, ifthey possess ordinary modicum of brains
proftably mediate upon. In common with every
Republican in Cecil county who had the slightest
regard for party harmony, we deprecated the in
tensely personal character of the contest just
closed. There was not the slightest necessity for
a contest of such character; but the opportunity
afforded by the popularity of Mr.. Blaine's name
was too tempting to be allowed to pass without
an organized effort to turn it to individual account
by men whose personal designs and individual
ambitions were Rafsy Gshsaf II
and misstatement, Cecil county was placed in a
position apparently antagonistic to Mr.. Creswe
and his friends. We say apparently antagonistic,
because no man who knows the sentiment Of the
Republicans of Cecil would have the audacity to
deny that in any direct issue, in which the known
preference of Cecil Republicans for Mr.. Blaine
had not been used as a point, the result would
have been different. Cecil county was, however,
none the less put in the position, falsely, too, of
turning down one of her most prominent Repub.
lcans and man who had rendered his party
acknowledged service, simply to crafty the per-
sonal vndictiveness of men who vainly coveted
his influence and hopecssly aspired to his leader
ship.
''The reaction was inevitable. 1t was bound
to come sooner or later. 1t has come sooner at
Hagerstown. The Republicans of Maryland, by
their act ON Thursday, refused to recognize the
credit (?) claimed by the men whose iaures were
won in so questionable a contest

The Law Of Trespass.

There seems to be great difference of opinion

right to take tho law into his own hands. Some
time ago person in aneighboring county poison
ed trespassing dog, and was arrested. He freely
admitted doing it, and attempted to show that he
had the right to do so. The court and jury disa-
greed with him, and, as he had no money, he was
sent to jail for three months.
Another case occurred In Germantown number
Of years ago. A neighboring sporting citizen was
hunting cartridges with a fine setter dog on
which he placed great store. The dog was shot
by sporting farmer while hunting ON his prem
Uses, and the act being proved, the defendant I'M
dertook to show that the dog was unknown to
him, and at best was nuisance. But this was
quickly disproved, and after q trial of two or
three days the defendant was beaten, the jury
adjudging the value of the dog about $40. The
case at the time created great deal Of interest
as both parties were well known and respected in
the community. This was the last case we heard
of within the limits of Philadelphia county.
How much better, all things considered, to set
tie all the neghborhood questions amicaby.
With disposition to live peaceably and kindly
in the same vicinity, and by simply bearing and
forbearing in all the little happenings of daily
occurrence, it would soon be found how easy it
was to be always friendly with everybody, and
how pleasant 1t was to knoY that there was not

whom you were not on cordial terms of friend
