already evident, and it can only be checked by
an encouraging and assuring word from the in
coming President. AS I passed ont of the Sixth
street Presbyterian Church, on Sunday morning
after services, a deacon observed to me mourn
fully:
II expect the result of the election will com
pletely break up this church organization. 1t is
maintained almost wholly by people in the gov
ernment employ, and tell you they will hold
on to their dollars now. See the serious faces
this morning They all feel as do-that the
provision for the family comes before the church,
and the collections will be at standstill now.
And what is true of this church is true, in a more
or less degree, of all of them here"

Mr.. Beecher Speaks to Empty Benches.

HARTFORD, Conn, Nov. 2O-Henry Ward
Beecher's best patrons at his lectures in Hart
ford in years past have been Republicans He
lectured here Wednesday night to almost empty
benches. Not half dozen of the faces familiar
at his lectures were to be seen. The hall was
but scanty filled, although paper had been
used with considerable liberality during the
afternoon, when the reserved-seat sale indicated
that there would be only beggarly house. The
cash receipts fell short of $75. A Republican
and former admirer of Beecher sarcastcally re-
marked this afternoon: 1.-The Republicans are
through with Beecher for the present, and his
Democratic friends are not the kind of men to
pay money to hear him.

party with the power of this government.

party with the power of this government.
This is phase of the revolutionary &C.
ton of the Virginia Legislature that the
Bourbons never thought Of. They have
been so intent in their greed for spoils
that they have never thought of the eff
feet of the methods used to grasp them,
or that the outside world was watching
their desperate action with deep interest
and concern. 1t is known that in ante
bellum times the South controlled every
Democratic administration. 1t is known
that the Solid South is the only hope of
the Democrats now, and that it the
Presidential nominees of that party should
be elected, that the Solid South would as
sert it's power and do as it had done in
other days. With the evidences given by
the Virginia Legislature of the temper Of
the leaders of that party, it is natural for
citizens of other States to study the effect
of the success of party, of which the
Bourbon influence is part, and apply the
spirit manifested to relations of broader
significance. 1t is natural for them to
hesitate at an experiment so pregnant, OF
passing all the powers of this government
into it's hands. and for them toshrink from
it as they would from an impending ca
lamity.
The moral of it is that the people OF this
country are not yet prepared to entrust the
Democratic party with the control of the
government. Its record in the States and
the Nation, is too full of unfavorable sug-
gestion to allow of such an experiment,
and it may be accepted as one OF the de-
termined facts of the future that in No
vember next, the Republican candidates will
be invested with the discharge of the Chief
Executive duties of the Nation, with a
Legislative Department in full accord with
the Exec utive,

A Straw.

In conversation. a few days ago, with an
intelligent citizen of the Valley, who has
recently been visiting Ohio, he remarked
that there was a decided change going on
there in public sentiment. Referring to
certain influential families in the Buckeye
State, who have always voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, he said they expressed a de-
termination to vote with the Republicans
this fall. The reasons assigned were two
fold. First, the deception of the Demo-
Gratis on the wool question, and next,
the course of the Virginia Legislature
during the present session. The gentle
man to whom we refer stated that the in
telligent people of Ohio are as familiar
with the more important acts of the Vir-
ginia Legislature as are Virginians them
selves-that they have watched the pro-
gress of legislation in this State with much
interest and concern, as representative
State of the conservatism of the South,
and State from which they originally
hailed. They have been utterly astounded
at the revolutionary spirit which has been
shown-the reckless disregard of cardinal
and statutory law, to regain power, and
the contempt and indifference for the rights
of the people. They ask, if this spirit
animates the people of what heyre regarded
a conservative Southern State, what
would be the effect of a solid South con-
trolling the Democratic party in posses
sion Of the government, and to what ex-
tremes would they resort to retain power,
if it should be ever given them ? The gen.
tleman with whom We conversed, stated
that such was the tone of the conversation
and inquiries among intelligent Demo.
Gratis wherever he went, and the con-
clusion was expressed, that it would be
