Translated from La Cronlca OF the 18th inst ]


With long and rapid strides we are
approaching the day on which the
vote of the people will determine
which of the candidates will be so for
tunate as to fill the chief office in our
city. We have ventured, after care
fully weighing the merits of the re-
spective candidates in the scales of the
public welfare, to recommend man
worthy of occupying the position. We
have recommended Mr.. Beaudry be-
cause we know of certainty that he
is the man needed; and we believe that
far from preaching in the desert our
arguments are earnestly listened to by
nearly every person and they agree
that La CrOnicd is not mistaken in
what it says. In the present conflict
we feel so strong that we almost regret
that our opponents are 80 weak. That
is to say, we are not over pleased that
our opponents are so unfortunate that
they have no answer to our arguments.
This evidently arises from she fact that
their cause is so bad that they are
ashamed to openly advocate it, and
therefore make no attempt to answer
our arguments, fearful that what they
might say should warm US to the
work, in which we might find greater
faults than those generally known.


There are, however, those who say
to us that it is not from fear that ST.
lence is kept, but because they believe
there is no need Of written arguments
to secure the Spanish vote. The
Spanish cote ! they sag the Spanish
UOte giVes as no trouble; on the day Of
the election it can be bought, and that
is the end Of the business.


This is what they say, and rs we ac-
cept as an insult to ourself that which
is applied to our national brethren
whose rights we have promised to de-
fend, we cannot refrain from answer
ing this infamous calumny of our
friends of Spanish descent, which
comes from the supporters of Mr.. Sa-
bichi and of Mr. Tiffany.


We can say to their libelers, that in
past elections the voters of Spanish
descent, voting for deservedly popular
candidates, have shown that they are
not purchasable when the peoples
rights are in question, and we can
now promise them in the name of the
people whom we represent, that in the
coming election they shall see the
Spanish vote on the side most worthy.
We shall soon be able to prove it, and
when they come and propose to buy
the Spanish vote they will experince
a most shameful but merited disap-
pointment. And do our enemies be-
lieve that the Spanish population of
Los Angeles is SO stupid as to be deaf
to such outrageous insults ?


We have said in the heading to this
article that we do not believe it, and
we further know assuredly that the
Spanish population despise those who
thus insult them.

The writings of our evening cotem-
porary over the clear and unanswera-
BILE statement Of Colonel SMITH, which
nailed the BERNARD falsehood and
its authors to the wall, would he pain
full to behold, did not the whole city
feel that it was punishment, severe,
but justly merited. In employing the
services of the Express, the ring
should have reserved the right to shut
off and let on it's flow of slander and
billingsgate as they do the water sup
piled to their customers. In trying to
earn its money it has out-Heroded
HERoD and lied for the mere lust of
lying, until, if it should now tell the
truth, ao one would believe it. It is
common remark on the street that
the tissue of falsehoods uttered by the
ETpreSS within the last week have
done more to secure the defeat of the
ring than it could have done in year
as their avowed enemy. In refusing
to publish the card of Colonel SMITH,





the venal little sheet furnished con-
elusive proof that its charges against
Mr.. BEAUDRY were false and that it
knew them to be so from the outset.
Had it published that card, there
would have been grounds for suppos-
ing that through it's zeal to aid it's
masters it had been miSled and induc-
ed to publish statements, of the truth
or falsity of which it was not informed,
but when the facts were offered it by
a gentleman whose word will go far
ther than its oath, it branded itself IL
slandererer from inclination with the
determtion to continue in its menda-
cious course. The people know it, and
they know it to despise it.

The Republicans complain that the
Democrats do not con6ne themselves,
in the present campaign. to local issues.
They say that our papers and speakers,
instead Of talking about the affairs Of
our own State only. deal largely in ca.
tional matters. Their boast 10 that
they and their speakers dwell mostly on
State affairs and local issues. This all
sounds very we'll. but our Republican
friends must not think that the UNDER
standings Of our people are so obtuse
that they cannot readily see through
this dodge They (thc Republicans)
do not like to talk of national affairs
because the record of what they have
done is all there. For fourteen years
the national government has been en-
tirely 10 their hands and upon them
rests the responsibility of the bad legis.
lation of the congress. and the fearful
condition Of things in the Southern
States. They must answer for ,be
stagnstion of business and the financial
distress that pervades the country.
With all these weights resting upon
them with the odium Of the Civil
Rights, linked school, bills falling
upon them they would willingly, gladly
turn from national affairs, where their
record is, to state affairs where they
have no record. Iu national matters
they must explain what they have done !;
in State matters they can boast of what

always been, most promising party.
But to how many Of their promises have
they been faithful? How many Of them
have they kept? By their past we will

1t is only q human religion such
as that of Buddha, OF Thor, OF
Jupiter, that may fear the growth Of
intelligence, and that may fade as
the hight OF reason dawns; but Of a
religion from God, given by inspira-
ton, the first distinguishing princi-
pie must be that it reveal its reason
ableness as FAST as man unfolds his
own intelligence, and still become
more glorious where there is the
most culture. The modioyal Christi
anity having been dislgured by
ignorance and superstition, the sub
sequent growth Of religion had to
express itself in infdelity. Whom a
Dante describes hell to mankind,
and his frightful pictures become the
theology Of the church, sweeping
through Romanism over into Prot
estan6sm, until Edwards says God
will dash the sinner down on hell's
floor and stamp upon him, tho in
fidelity must follow, not simply to
save q man from such ho&ors, but to
rescue Gods blessed name from such
lnspoakable infamy. In such hell
ag Dante's it is not man that is
punished-it is God that is destroy
ed. From such ideas we must fly to
a more reasonable religion, carrying
the cross and our holy faith away
from such degradation. We must,
indeed, separate forever the righteous
and the wicked; but, as the drunk
ard is punished in this world, and as
the murderer accepts Of his arrest
without blaming God, as the soul
feels its own wickedness and does
not reproaoh his Creator, SO the last
word is place, not where God is
seen rs cruel monster, but where
the human free-will stands forth in
all its divine powers, and reveals q
seH-punishment over which we can
almost imagine the Heavenly Father
himself TO shed tears. Such is the
perdition Of reason "a place not
whore the Savior and God become
an inqlisition, bnt.where thesihner's
own heart and own will have woven
themselves garments Of perpetual
sackcloth, and where the tears OF
sorrow fall not from Il malicious de-
cree Of God, passed from eternity,
but fall out OF the sinners own
wretched soul and miserable life.
Thus, over almost every idea Of The
Christian religion there is lying a
drapery Of reason fresh from the
God of infinite wisdom, and beauti-
full to man, the image of the rational

THR STORM SUNDAY NrauT.-We pre-,

account OF the terrible destruction to Lie

Sunday night at Pittsburgh and vicinity


In this immediate vicinity the storm

heavy, did no other damage than tc

up rapidly yesterday, and was as muddy
as we ever saw it in the same length o.

eccentric course, as is very often the case


We learn from Colonel CURTIS, Of West
Liberty, who came down Woods Rur
yesterday, that the water Of that run was
comparatively clear, while that Of Short
Creek was very muddy, thus showing
where the storm had principally expend-
ed itself. WRDMAN's. dam, on shorl

MR.. CROLY'S OBJECTIONS TO CREMATION.
A REPLY FROM AN ADVOCATE OF BURNING-THE


DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PROCESSES ONLY


ONE OF TIME.


To the EditOr OF The Trfbnne


SIR: Mr.. d. &. Croly writes in The TRIBUNE
to-day:


First. That am far moro interested in people being
well born than IN the method of their Dnrldl anu en-
tertan the opinion that AL organLed tn3ris sG % Do
10 the physical mental and moral wclbeng or the race
and any agitation for change In the dlSposal OIL
the remains seems ~ me 10 DC WasteIu


Mr. Croly is snguary successful in misunderstanding
the object OF the agitation about cremation. II Is pre-
cisely the physical mental. and moral weDelng OF
the that look, and protest against method
OF disposng OF the dead that believed to be uniay0r
able thereto. Again:


Second: The method OF dsposng OF the dead depends
very largely upon the religious faith OF the people 90
long a. the resurrection Of the body Is cardinal uOc
trne OF the Christian religion 1t Will be idle To attempt
any movement for return TO the pagan method No
matter what sentimental sanitary OF eceutuc reasons
could be urged they will weigh as nothing against
founded upon religious creed and what Is To US
lmmemoral habit.


The body is composed OF certain elements into which
it is equally resolved by cremation aud inhumation
The only difference is one of time the process The
final result is the q Even 1t not So how can
Christian believe that any disposition he can make OF
his body can be obstacle to the pass Of the Almighty
Again:


Third Ifit were possible however generally to change
the method Of dsposng OF human remains, should OPP
pose cremation being waste OF material which might
be utilized by dsposng OF the corpse as 10 add TO the
fertility of the soil.


Is Mr. Croly aware that matter is indestructiblef
What he suppose becomes of the volatile products
Of cremation Is it really necessary to inform him that
they are carried in the air to plants and treesi They
are thus utilized" in small fraction of the time re-
qured by the most speedy decomposition attainable

ashes can be preserved memorial, or II Mr.. Croy
prefers are also Immediately available for fertilization


Fourth: In view Of the sparseness OF our population
do not see there be any embarrassment IN find
ing cemeteries and grayeyards enough for all who are
likely die In this country within the next ten CEN
turles


As this is indirect admission that population may
be dense to require some change from inhumatlon
have nothing but thanks give for such concession

A PLAN FOR BRINGING GOLD AND SILVER INTO CIR


crrATroy-IScREAsING THE CURRENCY WITH


OUT INITIATING 1T.


To the Edttor OF The Tribune.


SIR: Whatever action Congress may see tit
20 take upon any financial measure now before It, IL is
hardly probable that the evils under which the country
is suffering will be permanently removed The CHIEF
difficulty the way OF satisfactory escape from the
dangers by which National Treasury is surrounded
lies in the Ignorance OF the public at Washington
Since the death OF Robert j. Walker and ChietJustce
Chase none Of our statesmen have shown themselves


masters OF the financial situation have for long time
thought entirely practicable TO increase the currency
without natng it, to place 1t upon solid basis with
ou, increasing our bonded debt; TO restore confidence
without contraction aud to bring about resumption
nf specie payments without working a revolution or
hurting anybody. To accomplish these desirable re-
suits respectfully suggest for the consideration Of our
people the following Congressional enactments:


FIRST The repeal OF the Legatender act. which is an
unconstitutional measure, only justable like the sus-
pension the writ OF haoeas corpus, in great pubic


second The passage OF an act declaring gold and
silver 10 only legal tender and standard OF value

they equal III intrinsic value 10 gold coins OF the same
deuun nation.


Fourth Making Treasury notes. and All other obi-
cations issued by The T. s. Treasury receivable at par by

on imports.
