She did testify, with gplomb snd assurance, and now she eats tue bread of penury and despair. 1t has becn widely réported in New York that cortain Republicans in Congress proposc to confer 2 pension of $10,000 per annum upon President Grant after the expiration of his term. The state- sment is unqualifiedly falte. The President docs pot need a pension, has not applied for one, and would not accept it if voluntarily voted. Mehemet Ali Pasha, the Commander of the urkish forces operating against Servia, is a Frenchman. In boyhood he deserted from a ship on which he was employed a5 cabin-boy, and took service with an influential Mussulman. He was educated in Constantinople, changed his religion, nd sccepted a commizsion in the army, where he speedily rose to the important command he now occupies. The worst of the Thomas fiasco in Philadelphia s not merely that the concerts have been discon- tinned. It appears that there has also been a fail- ure to redeem some of the tickets sold in advance. For this breach of good faith it may be necessary toexplain. Mr. Thomas himeelf is in no respect responsible. His recent connection with the con- certs has been only that of an employe. If his ex- perience in this instance ehall jmpress upon him {be danger of lending his name to an enterprise of which he hae not the exclusive control, it will not ave been too dearly purchased. Pr. Willism R. Dimmock, Master of the Adams Acsdemy at Quincy, Mass., recelves a salary of $5,000—doubtlessa farlarger sum than is puid tosny person occupying a similar position in this country. The Acsdemy, Which was founded under a bequest of the elder Adams, has been but three years in operation, the exccutors deeming it best to wait for the principal to accumnlate ontil it should be amply suflicient for the purpose. Their liberal treatment of Dr. Dimmock was perhaps as high a compliment 10 the cause of education and the worthiness of the teacher’s calling as it was possi- ‘ble for them to pay. . The National School for Cookery, in London, ex- fstsmoder high and mighty auspices, His Grace the Duke of Westminster, the richest Peer in En- gland, isthe President, and the Princees Lonise is & conetant attendant upon the annual mectings. Duchesses, Counterses, and *‘ladies™ without pumber, are 3mong its promotersand patrons. The school, which has been in existence only three years, is in a flourishing condition, though com- pelled to put up with incommodions quarters. Twelve teachers in cookery have received diplomas, and nineteen more are now in training. The teach- ersalready scut out are carning an average of £100 per annum by their classes. Lucy Hooper writes from Paris to the New York Torld: *-It is announced that two new works from the pen of Victor Hugo will shortly be pub- lished, namely, the two concluding volumes of *'Ls Legende des Sieclea,™ and a collection of poems on childhood,® cutitled: ‘L'Art d'ctre Grandpere.” To my certain knowledge, these two works, with two tragedies, *Torquemada’ and “Les Jumeaux, ' have been ready for the press for measly two years past, bat their illustrious author shrinks, for some inexplicable reason, from pub- lishing them. 1 am told that the quantity of com- pleted MSS. that he hus on hand is something ex- traordinary.

Alexander Delmar, the Philudelphia statistician, has made a very exhaustive comparison of the pro- dactive resources of Davaria with those of other countrie, particulurly our own. He will give the result of Lis study it the next number of the Jufer- national Neview. Just at this time, when the farmers are Larvesting, an article of this kind will be of special value.” Can uny one imagine the borny-handed eons of toil roshing iu hot haste to the news-stands to obtaiu the Julernational Leview and Mr. Delmar'e article* We fear no large num- ter of farmers will st up o nights to learn about the productive resources of Bavaria in orderto gather their own harvests. Senutor Jones tells a story, which he probally will be grextly mortified to sce in print, of his ex- perience with 1 roulette-wheel in Sun Francisco. It was twenty-eight years azo, and in those days Mr. Jones wis a thr.fty sonl, not above **guing into a gambling-house to ruize u stuky us he finely expresses it. He had been told by an esperi- enced professional that the safc thing in roulette is always to bet agzinst the pile. and he faithfully followed Lis instruciions. The consequence was that he came very near being kicked down-stairs. The secret of it is thut the gumbler who manipu- Jates the wheel uses a small wire which ralses either color at will, znd throws the ball upon the other. Wheun the bulk of the money, therefore, iy on one color aud a sull anonnt on the other, the dealer w:ll take care to win the large sam and pay the small one. Senator Junes was thus enubled to win by betting persistently on the gamblers’ side. Toview of these fact: ich are related by Mr. George Alfred Townsend, we cannot sec why sl ver should not be made a legal tender for all debts, publicand private. The Pall-Yall Gazette is properly edifed by the description of the new hog-bouncer introduced in- lothe cattle-rards at Albany, by means of which snruly porkers. when they congregate in the gang- way znd discuss the situstion, are suddenly shot tome feet into theair. The Gazette hopes the new Invention will not be generally epplied in meetings of mankind; bat we do not sce why it may not ¥ervea nsefal porpose in this connection. There have been strect-crowds within our recollection which we should nut hesitate to disperse by any summary method, Some kinds of political meetings would be improved by & ju- dicions mse of the hog-vouncer. Persous who come to the theatre Iate snd who £0 away early ought to have thelr movements ac- celerated in both directions. Young men who getlier in lubbics of churchew, old men who ogle Iadies from club-windows, the sex which epite to- ‘bacco-juice on the flvor, wonien who occupy two seatain a strect-car—these and many other prom- inent membersof society would gain in: that kuowl- edge which pusscth understanding if the sphere of uscfulness of the hog-bonncer were enlarged. The Duke of Devonshire lately opened his grand Tesidence in Picadilly for a concert by the blind American, Mr. Campbell, and the pupilsof his Normal Scliool for the Blind. Tke concert was at- tended oy a very Jarge and distinguished compan; One of the most interesting features of the occasion Was the uddress of Prof. Fawcett, the blind states- men, who left Parlizment to be present. Mr. Con- Wy writes to the Cincinnati Commercial ; #pecch was marked by its cheerfalness and the en- Ure sbeence of anything sentimental. He was lietened to with breathless interest, when, drawing 1Pon bis own experience, he said that the ideal of one who is blind would be to live the same life as they might have hoped to live if they were not 8o nfllicted. Persons, be said, sometimes imugined thatit was Lardly polite, or might be even crucl, tadescribe before the blind beantifnl scencs and Bttractive objects, lest they should make them feel $00 deeply a sense of their deprivation. But this 18 2 total mistake. The best service that can be done the blind is to treat them and speak to them without regard to their aflliction. They are con- tinually and wnconsciously cultivating the power of secing things vividly through the eves of others." Prof. Fawcett's blindness was Incurred, it will be remembered, after he had reached manhood. He had just graduat- ed from Cambridge, and was out hunting with Lis father. The gun in the hand of the latter was ac- tldentslly discharzed. One shot entered each of Bic eyes of yunng Fawcett, and his sight was en- trely destroyed, Grand P HOTEL ARRIVALS. rand Pacifie—N. I1.

TILDEX’S SHINPLASTERS. AN UNIMPEACHABLE WITNESS. ‘Tre TaBUNE of July 11 contained a long let- ter from a Marquette, Mich., correspondent ex- posiug **Slippery Sam’s™ cobmnection with sev- eral of the Lake Superior iron-mines, and the manner in which be and the mining corpora- tions in which he was interested made a forced loan of thousands of dollars upon the honest, bard-working sons of toil, who delved with spade and pick in scarch of iron-ores in the neighborhood of Clarksburg, Greenwood, Ne- gaunee, Ishpeming, and other mining-towns in the Upper Peninsula. In that correspondence it was charged that Mr. Tilden was the owner of two-thirds of the stock of the New York Mining Company of Ishpeming; that from the time the mine was opened the Company issued its own promises to pay to the miners and other laborers whom it employed. This currency” at first was in the shape of drafts, which werc drawn at sight upon George W. Smith, of New York, who, was Mr. Tilden’s private ,sec- retary. After the punie, these drafts were drawi at sixty, seventy, and ninety days sight, and these proizises to pay were paid out by the thousand to the miners, who were obliged to teke them at their face value. e IT WAS ALSO CHARGED that JMr. Tilden had a large interest in the Iron Cliffs Company at Necgaunee, and this concern issued its currency almost as fast as it could be printed. The paper of this corporation was at tirst made payabie at sight, but after the panic it Fas issued payable at four months after date. It was furtaer stated that the Michigan Iron Co., of Clarksburg and;Grecowood, Mich., of which Mr. Tilden was a lurge proprietor, was also in the labit of issuing brevet rag- babies in the same way. Nome of this time-paper bore any interest. This paper forced out of circulation the few bank notes which had found a lodging place in the community, aud thus compelléd the people of tie miafng country to do business at 2 loss for the benctit of tue great moral reformer of Albany. When the Miciizgan Company * bust- ed 7 it owed nearly $50,000,to the miners, wood- choppers, furnace-men, and other laborers. An effore was made to raise enough money by as- sessing the stockbolders to pay the laborers, i ny on a solid footing. All save one, estered heart and soul into the plan to pay the laborer his hire. That one was Sumuel J, Tilden. No appeal for justice, no entreaty could call from that ** bar’t” the paltry sum of $1,300, which was his pro rata of the assessment. Yesterday’s Zimes contained an editorial paragraph stating that it had received a letter from a Marquette correspondent deuying in toto “some foolish maunderings about our Uncle Samuel's operations in tne Michigan ‘miniug region.” The Zimes is 2 little too brash, It snould not have said that ** the coptradiction is quite un- necessary.” The charges made against Mr. Til- den by the Marquette correspondent are un- doubtedly true, zud there are wituessess right here in this city who can bear testimony to their currectness. Yesterday afternoon a TRIBUNE commissioner dropped into the office of Messrs. Ferry Brotners, wholesale lunber dealers at the west end of Exghteenth street bridge, where he met the bookkeeper of the fica, MR, C. 3. BOYCE, who was formerly Cashiero fHayden’s Negaunee Bank. Said the reporter: ** Mr. Boyce, I would like to ascertain what you know avout Mr. Tilden’s connection with the Michigan iron mining companies, and their systemn of issuing currency promises to pay.” “Well, to tell you the truth, I don’t know very much aboutthe details of Mr. Tilden’s conuection with the mining interests. It was generally understood throughuut the Peninsula that e was lavgely interested in the Michigan Iron Company, oi Clarksburg and Greenwood, the New York Mine, and the Iron Clifl> Com- any.’” 4 P “Did these iron companies issue THEIR PROMISES TO PAY to their laborers, winers, teamsters, v.e?? *Yes, sir. Before the panie, the paper was all made at sight. We Landled a great’ deal of it.” “YWas there any issued after the panic?” “A greatdeal. 1t was made payable at 60, 70, and” %0 days, and some of iteven st four months after date.” « How was it disposed of 1" «When itcaneto us in straight lots we changed it into aceeptances bearing 10 per cent interest, which we had discounted at_toc East, These discounts we drew against in sales of New York exchange over the counter at 3 ver cent _premium.” ‘ How ahout lots small amounts?” “Mixed lots were hard to sell. T suw one lot of $1,000, which the owner hawked around, and gladly offered to sell at $400. “ WHAT DENOMINATIONS was this paper issued in¢” *In unes, twos, fives, and tens.” #Wos it subjected tomuch of a shaveafter the panic—I mean the small notes, which were paid out at par to the workmen at the miues und furnacest” 4Yes. 1n mapy cases the holders of it could ordinary in not exchange for groceries, provisions, etc., un- less at a shave of 25 cents on the dollar. At the companies’ stores it was taken at pur, but the holders were compelled to pay whatever prices the companies asiced for the goods.” « What amount of stock did Mr. Tiiden hold in these companies?’ i 7 do not know. All Iknow is it was gen- erally understood that he was a large holder of stock.” TILDEN’S LETTER. NEW YORK PRESS COMMENTS. New York, Aug. 5.—The Tribune (Independ- ent), in a leader, says of theletters of acceptance of Tilden and Hendricks: “To eay there is nothing in either of them, taken separately, or in botl of them -together, to aceount for the length of time that it has taken to preparc therm, is but to anticipate the judgment of t.he reader. Ncither of the candidates bas contrib- uted anything specially new to the political situation, or thrown any new light upon issues already defined.”” The same paper, in another editorial, says, in revicwing the letters, of Mr. Hendricks' letter: “It is hnrdlyGuecc;sifiy w0 v han that it is all that Gov. en's i!:':l;lz]ir: \Eenf_‘y bitter, narrow, offensive, partisan docunn:jr}t.:z’m i it il atle documents, 1t Gov. Tilden's friends can inspire the country with a belief in Bis_power to carry out Lis ledgcsbwn.huuf. any peril to the achievements of the War, from the Bdvent of a new party, the desire for a change is so widespread that his canvass may bea wm& ningone. 4, on the other band. it is feare ihat the end will be ‘leaping Niagara,’ not all the genius and skill of a letter of acceptance will 'uver_thru’\\- the strongly-scated power of Re- nism.” pqll"lla’:;n]‘imu (Rep.) thus_concludes an article: “Nothing could more forcibly illustrate the barrenness, the timidity, and the inborn crafti- ness of Al Tilden than the shifting sud delay “The letters are which have attended the ushering into the world of this abridgment of his last January’s mes- sage. It is absurd to suppose that men of cul- tivated intelligence and moral sense can be the victims of such a charlatan as Mr. Tilden shows himself to be by his treatment of questions so vital that, on the right solution of them, the continued existence of our Government in its present form not improbably depends.” ‘The Sun (Democratic) writes: “Gov. Til- den’s letter of acceptance is the strongest, clearest, ablest, most~ statesmanlike, the most suggestive, and most satisfactory political docu- ment that has been laid before the public within a ltg‘; veriod of time. Gov. Hendricks? letter sustains the principal positions of Mr. Tilden, and leads us to believe that they are thoroughly in co—oFerm.mn respecting all the great meas- ures of public ?)nlk-y now before the conntry,” The World (Democratic) says: *Upon all other points of the St. Louis platform these let- ters prove that the statesmen who have been selected to give its doctrines effcet understand themselves and llmm\xghl‘y; agree with each oth- erand with the party thoraughly, and when sent, as they will be sent, to Washington by the votes of tiie American peofile, in “November mx}‘l k?’ do that great work, will doit thor- oughly. ‘The Evening Post says: ‘Gov. Tilden's ac- ceptance is an able and carcful docunent, show- ing that familiarity with his subject which comes of rfl;\tmnt study and large experience. The cnds which Gov. Tilden kecps in view will be everywhere agreed to. The differences will oceur upon the means by which he proposes to sceure those ends. The country has been study- ing the Democratic party since the political revolution in the States in 1574 put it into power. The course of the party has not been such as to encourage any more faith in it than the country has had for the last sixtcen years. It is doubtful whether Gov. Hendricks, in at- ‘tempting to satisfy both the hard and soft- money 1nen, has ‘satisfied cither. IHis letter avows a hearty desire to return to specie-pay- ments, The soft-money men, if they are honest, cannot be satisfied with this. 1t favorsan uncondi- tional repeal of the Resumption pledge. The nard-mouey men ought not to be satistied with this. Gov. Hendricks s opposed to ‘artificial measures for the contraction of the currency,’ but Gov. Tilden, in his letter, seems inclined to contraction, Gov. Hendricks’ views of the civil service are just, but we may doubt whether the Democrats will do what Gov. Hendricks wants them to do, but the advice is not the less sound for that reason.” CINCINNATL Commerctal (Ind.). 1 Taking the two letters together, they will con- fuse rather than inform the people; aud they will be chiefly useful in serving to show the irre- concilable antagonisms in the” Democratic party in all matters of business. Gov. Hendricks pro- tests against the capacity of scapegoat, and oints to the character of the party. Very well; But, when we examine the character of the two parties before the country, we do not sec that the Democratic party, by its record, promises to support a President “in the work of reforming the Government. - Gov. Tilden’s letter is marred rather than helped, as a document of symmetry aund style, by the numerous extracts it contains from the overnor’s ntterances, and it was not worth while now to be at such pains to_prove to_the Soft Democracy that the candidate_has long been a Hard-Money man. In several portions of the letter the Governor's felicity in phrase- making appears, and he is hnpfiy in'his Jast dnu» agraph; but, astociated with the letter of Hen- dricks, it must fail to make a favorable impres- sion upon the country, corresponding to, and auswering, that produced by the able and win- ning letter of the R",F.,“b“"“- candidate. Erguirer (Rag siay Dem.) We had feared that he would not _concede so much tothe sentiment of the great West, to the people of the country, as did the St. Louia plat- form. But he goes further,—does more. If any Western Democrat had been nominated for the Presidency it is doubtful if he would have put intohis letter of acceptancesuch pronounced Pprofessions in favor of the Western belief eon- cerning the currency. We do not think that any Western candidute who could have been nominated would have been in his sceepting letter 50 brave in defense of the friends of the currency reform as Mr. Tilden has been gener- ous and statesmanlike. We opposed the nom- ination of Mr. Tilden. . When nominated, we gave him support. With his letter beforc us, we cordially call upon our friends everywhere to give him an earnest support. He hasleft no excuse for & third party. He has left no excuse for rebellion or “ bolting ”’ amoug Democratic ranks. He has made noble and statesmanlike concessons to the Democracy of the West, by reason of which he deserves their support. If therearc any who are dissatisfied with the letter of Mr. Tilden it must be tbe bullionista of the Eu.s:,d under whose approbation he hias serencly rested. ST. LOUIS. Gtobe-Democrat (Ren.) On the subject of the Southérn troubles, re- specting which the public had 2 right to expect a ereat deal, Mr. Tilden is almost silent. This we take to be, in the light of recent events, a fatal error of omission. The Hamburg massa- cre, and the bold and patriotic position assumed President Grant and the Republican party on that and kindred subjects, called for an explicit avowal of policy on the part of Mr. Tilden. He cannot shicld himself behind the vague avowal of the Democratic platform, which is simply a promise that the Democrats will not interfere with the Anti-Slavery amendments to the Coustftution. Recent occurreuces in the South «ll for something more from a man who aspires to the Presidenc than the simple declaration that he will if elected, protectall former citizens, *‘what- ever their former coudition,” in all personal and _political rights. The White-Leaguers of the South believe it to be oneof their “ personal and political rights ” to massacre the negrocs in their midst. Does Mr. Tilden’s vromise of “protection ” extend to the White-Leaguers in their work of outrage and murder? I not, he shonld have distiiictly placed himself on the side of Law and Order, by saying that he would at all hazards preserve the peace of all sections, and especially of the South, when disturbed bi these incipient wars of extermination. A wort from him on this subject would have been not only politic, but atriotic; but e feared that, by giving it, he would be said to array himself on the side of the blacks, and wonld, in conse- quence, lose the votes of the Southern banditti. TILDEN’S DUTY. SITTING BULL TO BE MADE INDIAN AGENT IN CASE OF TILDEN'S ELECTION. To the Editor of The Tribune. CHIcAGo, Aug. 5.—It is now seriously pro- posed that Sam Tilden, in case of his election to the Presidency, shall immediately declare a peace with the Indians, have all our soldiers on the plains lay down their arms, march out of the reach of Indian bullets as fast as possible to carry out the Democratic doctrine that Reform requires that the traitors to our country shall ‘become its rulers; that those who have fought the battles of the Union are fit only to be goy- erned by thuse who secretly and cowardly worked ~ for_ the destruction of the Union, as Tilden and Hendricks both did. And, in order to be consistent in doctrine and record, Mr. Tilden is in duty bound, in case of his election, tocall the In- dias 'together and appoint Sitting Bull Chicf Indian AZent; and place these goldicrs who have heen fighting patriotically upon the plains to sustain_ the Government under the control of Sitting Bull. No man who favorssuch s patriot as Tilden for President can consistently object to having such & patriot as Sitting Bull made Chicf of the Indian Agencics. Respectfully submitted for the serlous con- sideration of all candid and consistent men. Yours, Lux. - TOE GERMANS. THETR ADDRESS TO THEIR COUNTRYMEN. The German-American Hayes and Wheeler Club held an adjourned meeting yesterday afternoon at Germania Hall, 70 North Clark street, at 4:30 o’clock, to hear the report of the Committec on Address. Among those present were Messrs. George Schneider, Lorenz Bren- tano, George F. Kolbe, Jacob Gross, Adolph Loeb, Conrad Folz, I. Feldkamp, F. Lackner, L. I. Kadisch, John Hoffmann, William Vocke, 1. Rosenthal, Aug. Steinhaus, Charles Wetzler, William Floto, R. Michaelis, C. Salzman, Henry Enderis, F. A. Herring, Dr. J. T. Bluthardt. George Schneider presided, and Richard Michaclis acted us Secretary. Mr. Lackner, from the Special Committee, read the following draft of the address to the German-American citizens, being but little changed from that reported the week previous: THE ADDRESS. The German-American Republican Tnion to the German-American voters: FELLOW-CITIZENS: On the eve of 2 Presidential election which in_importance can be compared only with those of 1560 and 1864, and in which the fate of this country for many years to come will be decided, the Union of German-American Re- ublicens of Chicago holds itits duty to address taclf first to those voters In the City of Chicago and the State of lllinois who use the German tonzue. On this vccasion the Democrats of the Southern States are arrayed against us in their full strength, uuited, as in the days of Pierce and Bu- cbanan, with their olitical fellow-believ- ere of the North. forming onme compact power, and encouraged by the guccesses won At the Dallot-hox two years ago owing 1o the widespread dissatisfaction growing out of many evils prevailing in the country, and they now seck through seductive promises und false representaticns to Win frum our ranks the vOles, without the accession of which they cannot reckon on success. ™ . Itis not our part to set forth at length the origin and deeds of the Republican party. O theless, one thing may properly be stated here. The slaveholders of the South in the year 1801, in conjunction with their sllies in the North, cailed forth the most unjustifiable of all civil wars which history knows. _1ts abject was the destruction of the great work which crowned the strugple for in- dependence of the Colonies ugnl nst Great Britain, and the annihilation of the Tnion through which the United Statcs had grown up from an orizinally petty cominuuity to n great and honored Republic. They wished to destroy the Union since they could no longer govern it~ The Republican party had to accept this contest, and it fought 1t through vic- toriously with encrifices of wealth and blood. Ifun- dreds of thousands o the noblest sons of the Re- public met their death for the holy inheritance which their fathers left them, and the people have sacriticed many hundreds of millions 10 save the country and freedom; and, finally, when, after four yeéar of contest, victory over the assailants was gained, the victors have created no military fribunals in order totake bloody revenge. The prisons were not_filled with political prisoners, and no ships filled with ° transported con- victs left tuc harbors of our country, No! The victors, with & magnanimity unknown in the history of the world, treated the conquered as erring brothers, whom they, after a brief period, admitted as citizens with equal rights to take part in the government of the country. IN PEACE. If the Republican party had a heavy task to per- forn in war, the peace Which followed imposed upon them one which was none the less difiicult. The Union had to be restored, and precautions taken against the return of violcnt attucks on its existence. Abraham Lincoln's great and immortal decd—the freeing of 4,000,000 of slaves—had to be made secure for all time; the ubolition of slavery bad_by logical mecessity to be fol- lowed by tho civil “and political equality of the freedmen. The Republican party moved onward courageoasly on the path Inid down to it by ats great leader, and surrounded the freedom of the former Elaves with constitutional and_ legal ‘bulwarke: but, as our Vice-Presidentiul candidite suys, ** The mission of the Republican party can- not be considercd ss fulfilled 50 long as American citizens, without distinction of color, in the reed- swawps of Louisiana are a# fully assured of _their civil, political, and public rights, gson the banks of the St. Lawrence.” Fellow-citizens, we can- not and must not trust the exceution of the laws pussed for the protection of the former slaves and the mamtensnce of the Union to that party which fought their adoption with all the meaus in its power, and whose allies in the South yet constantly prove by their atrocities perpetrated on the negroes how litle they respect these laws. THE FINANCES. But the Republican party had & far more difficult task to execute, Many hundreds of millions of & partly interest-bearing, partly non-interest-bear- ing debt weighed upon ‘the country. The great confidence which the Government enjoyed must be Justified, —the honor of the Union must be protect- ‘ed. The national debt was diminished as speedily as possible, and this circumstance, us well as the readiness with which the Republican Government gave to the creditors of the nation legal guarantees for the honest payment of the national debt, put it in its power to find & not insignificant part of this debt at a lower rate of interest. The esse with which this conversion took place ix the best proof of the contidence felt in the great Europesn money-markets in the honor of the republican Government. It i3 true that the value of ournon-interest bear- ing evidences of indebtedness has not yet been ralsed to an equality with gold, but he who remem- bers that there was a time in which it took more than two-and-a-half paperdollars tobuya gold dollar must do the Republican party the justice to admit that under itsrule ail that was possibic has ‘been done to equalize those values. WHICH SHALL WE TRUST? Fellow-citizens, both parties promise tiat they ‘wish to restore ‘‘honest money." To which one shall we give the most confidence? Shall we trust the party which feels a nataral re- pugnance to paying that debt which had to be Tade in order to carry ont the War against an at- tempt to put fnta practice the teschings of State's righis und of the right of secession?

THE PUBLIC BERVICK. Fellow-citizens, there lies before the Republican party yet a more difficult, perhaps the most difi- cult, duty of all. It has to purify the public ser- vice frow the corruption which has crept into’ it— hus to awakem in the people themselves a feeli for republicsn virtue, and to re- store their confidence in their Government. Under the demoralizing system which we owe to'a Dem- ocratic President, by which the public offices served spoils on which the victors had claims, there has manifested itself during the course of years & frightful-corruption and immorality in all branches of ‘the public service. Thif poison of dishonesty ‘has found its way not only into the ranks of the constitutional and trusted counsellors of the high- est officer of the Republic, but {uto the halls of the National Legislutare, and into the governing bodics of States, counties, and cities; yes, even into the masses of the people. It has gome - 80 far that stealing from the public and fraud on the Governmentfare no longer looked on as dishonest transactions, provided only that_the offense i8 crowned with success. 1t would be absurd to lay the blame of this- on the party in power, whatever ite political faith muybe. The foult lies in the system, of which Rutherford B. Hayes, the Republican candidate for the-:Presi- dency, says In Lis letter of acceptance: This system destroys the independence of the separate departnients of the Government. It tencsdirectly to extravagance and official lncapacity; It 1s 4 temptation vagal to dishonesty; {t hinders and {inpairs that careful con- sideration and strict_accountability by which alone faithfuland etficient public service can be secured; It obatructs the prompt removal and sure punisiunent of the unworthys in every way degrades the elvil service and character of the Government. Yes, 3 our candidate says, the reform must be thorough, complete, r:dl’c:l. 72, We stand by the side of and support the man who represents these sound views. The men of 1872 stretched ont their Lands to usin joint ac- tion. Four years ago, doubting the honext cfforts of the Republican purty to itself improve the ex- isting evils, they sought to reach their aim by s distinet orgunization; the results have not corre- sponded to their just expectations. They have confidence to-day in the sincerity of the party, which, reared on the basis of the eternal traths of our Declaration of Independence, has the firmde- termination to put into power au honest Govern- ment; and shall we doubt of success if such men, who, four years ago, inscribed the word **Reform™ on their bunner, now move forward with us? ‘We cannot a¥sume the existence of any such fixed determination on_the part of our political oppo- nents; the whole history of the Dewocratic party, from the times of Jackson downto those of Bu- chanan, and_on to the present duy, furnishes the incontrovertible proof that this party is not a party of progress; and, even if some of its leaders are inspired by good views, every attempt at reform would be ineffectual if tried on the mass—this con- w Fellow-citizens, we beg of yoa to consider what the country bas 0 expect from » Democratic Gov- ernment. Look at the sctivity of Congress in the Lower louse, of which a8 majority. composed of ex-Rebels and their Northern friends, nolds rule. The Union-loving oflicers of the House were o) dismissed in a body, and their places filled with Rcbels, whose hands were hurdly dry from the ‘blood of the defenders of the Union. Although it has only attained power in one single branch of the Government, claims to the amount of untold millions of dollars for damage done during the War have already been presented. Must we uot expect with this beginning, which signifies so much, that after a Democratic national victory, the expenses of the Rebellion in the form of claims for confiscation on the part of the South will be im- poscd upon the North and the burden of taxation Do nteased o an. infinite degrce? The Executive brunch is still in th¢ hunde of Republicans, und, nevertheless, atrocitics have been perpetrated in the Village of Hamburg, in South Carolina, of sucha nature as we read of from Bulgaria and Bosnia. Let the Democruts obtain control of the entire Government, abandon tothem the manzgement of the Public Treasury, the charge of the army, and we will have to en- dure a state of affairs worsc and more disastrous than thut existing before the War. We are not willing to take the responsibility of such an exper- iment. We prefer to go into the contest under the tlng which has so often led us to victory under the 1cad of Rutherford B, Hayes and William W hg::)er. for **honest Government and honest money, " and invite you, fellow-citizens, in the intercst of pub- welfare, in your individual interests, to go with us hand in bund.

Benjamin Harrison, of Indianapolis, who was yesterday nominated for Governor by the State Republi- can Central Committee, has been at Mackinaw for some time with his faurily. Heleft there vesterday afternoon, and did not learn of Orth’s withdrawal until this morning. When he reached here this afternoon a telegram was handed him apprising him of his nominatiou, together with a large number of telegramsfrom , afl. parts, or tie State congratulating him, and; I begging him to accept. Your correspondent called ~ upon him and asked if he would actept, but he said be could not state definitely until he consulted with his friends at Indianapolis. He had felt since his name was first mentioned in counection with the office that he could not make the sacrifice in- volved in acceptance. In the present circum- stances he was muchin doubt as to the best course to pursue. . Gen. Ilarrison cvidently does not want the position, but will probably run if he thinks the interests of the party demand it. Shortly after his arrival here an impromptu reception was tendered him at the Republican headquarters, attended by several hundred lead- ing citizens. The Republicans here are quite jubilant over his nomination, and feel that with him victory is assured. The Democrats do not like the turn affairs have taken—~they felt sure of defeating Orth, but view Harrison’s candidacy witn alarm. He left this evening for Indianapolis. FLAG PRESENTATION. TIE LADIE3 OF TIE THIRD WARD. Last evening the Third Ward was in a blaze of glory. It was the first turn-out of the Hayes and Wheeler Regiment of the ward, and a most. creditable disolay it was. The forces massed in front of the Republican Ward Club Headguar- ters, 960 Wabash avenue. Here the Club helda meeting, with President Sayrs in the chair, but transacted no business. The sound of military airs from fifes and drums and a cornet band filled the air, and it was not long before a crowd was gathered numbering not less than 2,000, which filled the strect and sidewalk, making locomotion fm- possible. The battalion nustered about 200 men, with torches, who made a fine display. THE ROSTER. 2 Col. Lyman Brydges commanded, assisted b; H. 8. Vail, Licutenant Colonel; Major, C. B. Hughes; Aajutant, A. H. Wagner; Quarter- master, P. V. Fitzpatrick; Surgeon, Dr. F. A. Emmons, Company A mustered 85 men, com- manded by Capt. E. A. Hughes; Frank Willard, First Lieutenant; W. P.

Hall, First Lieuten- ant, and J. H. Lapington, Second Lieutenant. The regiment is known by the title of “Minute Men of *76.” Tho uniform is of the genuine Continental pattern, of beautiful design, and neat and showy. It was designed and man\:lfif:\cturcd by Maj. F. C. Kiokke, 98 State street. ‘The Regiment was headed by the American Stiver Cornet Band, C. Strom, leader, and & volunteer fife and drum corps. It was some time before the line was formed and each company assigned its place. En- thusiasm ran high, and cheers for Hayes and ‘Wheeler were frequent. At about 9:15 o’dock m?i regiment was formed in 3 hollow square, an AN ELEGANT ILLUMISATED BANNER presented to it, the gift of Mrs. C. M. Culbert- son. The transparancy is quite a unique affair, coms of ground and red-colored glass. On one side it bears the legend: “ Third Ward Repubtican Club,” and on the otner, *Minute Men of 7767 On either side the names of Hayes and Wheeler are engraved on ground flnslv Col. Brydges, in the absence of the ady, made the presentation speech, and at its close three cheers were given for the patriotic lady. Kirk Hawes received the banner on be- Lalf of the regiment with 2 very neat and pat- riotie speech. At its close the band played the *‘Star-Span- gled Banner,” and the line of march was taken to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sayrs, 865 Indiana avenue,-where ANOTHER PRESENTATION took place. This time it Was a handsome flag, standard size, surmounted on the staff by a golden eagle. The banner was manufacturcd from the tinest of silk bunting, and is mafm of Mrs. Sayrs and a number of patriotic ladles. Mr. Sayrs made amost enthusiastic and en- couraging speech to ‘‘the boys’ and the im- mensc crowd which came with them, after which he introduced Mrs. Smrs, who presented the flag in a few and appropriate words, closing with the following apropos verscs, entitled, ‘‘ONE WORD FOR THIS": One word for this flag we presented to-night, ‘With its stars and its stripes so beautifully bright. Let it float over the breeze, let it wave over the ridges, And in torchlight procession commanded by Bridges. 2 Young men, Tam happy to greet yon to-night; Happier still in your uniforms bright. 11 1 could but drill I would sy down the pen, ‘And join in the ranks of you Minute Men. One word more let me add: Your prospects are right; Falter not in your duty, but go ahead right. Let your praises be sung by poets and bards’ And gae v'dlfzmy won in the name of **Sayrs’ uards. " The poctry was received with immense ap- plause, and, at the close, three rousing cheers were given for the lady, while the band pluyed “ Hail Columbia.” Afterleaving here, the line of march wastaken up to Mr. George Armour’s house, No. %45 Prairic avenue, that ‘E;cntlcm:m being made the recipient of & serenade and cheers for his liber- ality in uniforming 100 members of the regi- ment. ¥ From here the procession repaired to the resi- dence of Senator Logan,- on Calumet avenue, near Twenty-second strect, where another hand- some silk-bunting flag was presented. A table was carried to the edge of the curb, and was used as the speaker’s stand. Capt. Vail intro- due i MISS LOGAN, who made the presentation speech, as follows: ** Minute-Men " for the campaign of 18768; You cannot be more surprised than myself that I should appear before you to present this beautiful flag, rovided through the generoeity of the patriotic fiupublicans of the Third Ward. ~ My first recollec- tions of the flug, military encampments, the sounds of martial music, and the soldicrs with their glori- ous blue uniforms and bright buttons date back to the time when [ was only 3! years old; when, at Cairo, Ill., in 1861, I stood daily at drsss purade, bezide the gallantold Thirty-tirst, who called me the *+Child of the Regiment."" {Applause and cheers. } I liad liftle comprebension of why they were +*Coming, Father Abrahum, 300,000 strong,’ nor did I realize when I sat upon an empty box in the late lamented Capt. McCook's tent, und ate with childish relish from a tin plate the ** hard-tack and beans,™ that this frugal fare was yet to be the ** stay of the army, ™ or that the name of McCook was to appear so_often upon that long list that makes utlhn roll of the army of the dead. {Applanee.] But even them, when they: went to the front. snd /iy papals with them fapplouse], ** Leried,” and when T saw ** big peo ple " crying too, 1 knew there was something’ wrong somewbere. Since then I have older grown, and know why those who did understand what it meaut to defend the flag againet all assailants looked on with tears, for they kncw what strife, suffering, privations, and trizls were before our noble army, and that in their strong arms and brave Learts they held the destinics of a great nation. [Applause.] I feel now, too, with what pride «nd devotion crery son ana daughter of this loved land of the free should regard these insignia of our imberitunce. [Applause. Ag 1 look over this battalion and hold in their uniforms the blending of the Continental with the Centennial, Tam sure these men are im- bued with a like spirit and still are determined to protect all men in the right of *‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happinese. [Applause.] Of the olitical questions you would not expect a girl in Ber teens to speak, therefore T will leave these grave und vexcd topics to our wise and dauntless fathers and natural protectors. And when we shall read the returns next November that shall declare the entire straight Kcpublican ticket, Gov. Hayes and the good Mr. Wheeler at the head, elected by 8n_overwhelming majority, 1 am sure vou will feel repaid for your vigilance in and out of scason for the right. Let us hope this may be & peaceful campuign, bat if necd be I am sure you will do or die that this flag may wave triumphant, therefore Tsurrender it fo_your kecping, ond With many wishes for the individual welfare of this command, and the glory, harmony, and msgnitade of your organizatlon, I bid you each good night. [Loud spplanee and cheers.] Maj. Vail replied in a happy speech. At the conclusion three ¢heers were given for Senator, Mrs., and Miss® Logan. The band plaved “My Country,” and the regiment marched off.” There were a large number of ladies and gentlemen present, representing)the wealth and beauty of the ward, at both Mrs. Sayrs’ and Gen. Logan’s residences. The presentations from beginning to end passed off Wwith great eclat. — AT HEADQUARTERS. THE REPUBLICANS. At Republican headquarters in the Grand Pa- cific Hotel matters were quite lively yesterday, though the business transacted was entirely of a private natare. The letters of Gov. Tilden and his conferre, Hendricks, were looked upon as two well written communications, but eva- sive of the issucs—a mass of verbiage without meaning. The Executive Committee held its nsual noon mecting, at which Messrs. C. B. Farwell, James P. Root, Gen. Julius White, Col. A C. Babeck, avd W. H. Barlow, present. Mr, Barlow of Filinghaw, were gives 4 most encouraging report as regards Re- publican prospects in Southwestern Illinois. Among the visitors was the Hon. William Smith, of McLean County, formerly Speaker of the State House of Representatives. He pre- dicts an immense Republican majority in his section for Hayes, Wheeler, Cullom, and the cntire ticket. THE DEMOCRACY. The several headquarters of the Democracy in the Palmer House were quite animated ves- terdsy. The wise heads counseled together, and they swallowed Tilden’s letter with a gulp, for it wouldn’t do for them to chew on it ot all. Expressions of satisfaction with either Tilden's or Hendricks’ letters were extremely rare; the masses look upon both asa clear back-down {from principles which both had previously stren- uo&l:‘liyb miv-w.azs:llxuAl 1235; littfirs. it s, o ce man, scaled the doom of Tilden und Hex}xlfldckz" Among the visitors to the local headquarters were John M. Paimer, of Springfield, and J. V. Eustis, of Dixon. Gov. Palmer wants to go to the Urited States Senate. Perry H. Smith left for Madison last evening. He is going to do some fishing with George B Smith, of that F ace. John V. Le Moyne will be home to-morrow. He has gotten a leave of absence to attend the grand Democratic powwow. Gen. Dan Cameron holds forth in the parlors used as the State Headquarters, and is the head-centre for imparting information as regards State matters at present. THE RECEPTION COMMITTEE. The Democratic Joint Committee on the re- ception of the National and State Executive Committees met yesterday afternoon at Demo- cratic Headquarters, and elected V. C. Turner, Esq., Chairman. The Committee decided to meet the visitors on their arrival Monday morn- ing 8t 10 o’clock. The morning will be given over to the uxchnn%f of greetings, and in the afternoon there will be & meeting of the State and National Comumittees. Arrangements are being made for au excursion on the lake Mon- day evening. THE DEMOCRATIC CITY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE met yesterday afternoon. When the Committee came to order, the Chair was flgproal:hed by that antiquated maiden, Mr. &J. B. Vaughan. who whispered in his ear that it would be advisable to exclude reporters while the Committee on Conference made their report. Takiug the hint, TrE TRIBUNE emissary, who was thc only press man on hand, did all he could to accommodate the gentlemen and preserve the spirit of bar- mony so desirable even in Democratic Councils, by evacuating a very comfortable chair into which he had very comfortably settled him- self, and leaving the room. But even pri- vate sessions “are mnot free from the reportorial spirit if they are relicved of the re- portorial Eersun, and Tue TRIBUNE sight- secr is enabled to report that the great mountain which the Conference Committée bad labored to Lring forth turned out to be a mouse of the smallest kind. They simply reported to the City Committee that™ the Coufcrence Cornmit- tee, alter due consideration, had decided that the county should select six men aud the city five men to compose the respective County and City Campaign Committees. The ~County ommittee ~ was chosen Friday and” the Conference Committee begged to report as the City C:\mgu' Com- mitice the following gentlomen: F. H. Win- ston, John Forsythe, Austin J. Doyle, Frank Schwuchow, and Theodore Schintz is re- port the City Executive Committee received and adopted. " Encouraging reports were made from the various wards, after which the meet- ing adjourned. THE INDEPENDENTS, in their headquarters, No. 127 Clark street, had nothing to say yesterday. The party is quietly giving up the ghost, t.holfln the brave few try to hold it together. the elements of strength seem to have totally deserted it, and but & skeleton of the poor Rug-Baby remains. MINOR MEETINGS. THE PIRST WARD. The Consolidated Republican Club of the First Ward held a meeting a2t the Grand Cea- tral Hotel last night, Col. Abner Taylor pre- siding. Suggestions were made to the effect that, since the Club had elected the Captain of the military company, it (the Club) should proceed to elect other officers. This action, it wus decided, was to be taken by the members of the company, the Club having no voice in the matter. The first business was the report of the Committce on Martial Orpanization. This wus made by the Chairman of the Committee, Mr. C. L. Easton. He said that subscriptions had been raised, many uni- forms purchased, and shout 100 men enlisted. | These men bad completed an organization, had drilled and paraded. The drill-room had been ed in the Grand Central Hotel, and every- thing done that was mnecessary so far. Mr. Easton, who is the Captain of company, sug- gested that the formation of a full battalion in the First Ward was not only possible but proba- ble. He was ready to receive the names of those who would join. Mul:’y companics, each with its own quarters, could be formed, and a general headquarters established. His suggestions were applauded, and one gentleman present announced that ke was will- fng to take the responsibility of enlisting a company, provided that the copsolidated Club would furnish quarters for drill. This was eed to. 'he Hayes and Wheeler Minute-Men of the First Ward then met for busiuess, Capt. Easton presiding. The first thing was the clection of officers. There were nominated for the First Licutenantey Messrs. J. J. McGill and A. K. Huall. Mr, Hall was elected, and Mr. McGill was then clected unanimously by acclammation the Sceond Licu~ tenant. In the same manner Mr. P. McNally was elected Quartermaster. The Dinor offices will be filled by the Captain. The Chairman of the Committee recently ap- ointed to invite the Third and Fourth Ward finute-Men to meet the First Ward company for combiued drill, reported that those Wwhom he had invited would accept for Thursday even- ing, and would like to make a strect-parade. To accommodate them the night of regular meeting of the First Ward Club was changed from Saturday to Thursday. . THE FIFTH. At a meeting of the Hayes and Wheeler Club, held at No. 126 Archer avenue, the following were elected as permanent officers: President, H. Biroth; Vice-Presideats, J. G. Stephens, E. Kenealy, W. J. Stephens, R.Cole, C. Eigman, and Sneetham; Executive Committec—. Schmitz, H. Morrice, Sitn_Wallace, A. Mattee, A. Buuer, J. Koch; Recording Secretary, T. W, Lynch; Corresponding Sceretary, E. Librant; ance Committee—Frank Koch, Martin Best, Williom Howsen; Grand Council—M. Schmitz, George Colby; Captain ot Company, A, Ed Kenedy; Captain of Company B, F. Cherncr; Captain of Cavalry, William Howson. The roll was signed by 110 members. THE ELEVENTH, The Eleventh Ward Hayes and Wheeler Guards met last evening at Martine’s West Side Hall, and, donning theirbeautiful new uniforms, went through the various drill exercises under Capt. Phillips. The Clubis a strong one, and is making flattering progress. The Eleventh Ward Democrats endeavored to holda meeting last cvening, at the corner of Eifzabeth and Indiana streets. Only half a dozeu men were present, however, and they organized temporarily by the election of M. F.Evans as Chairman and Mr. Hayes Secre- tary. After receiving a few new members to the Club, the meeting adjourned uutil Thurs- day evening. THE FOURTEESTH. The Democrats of_the Fourteenth Ward met last eveniug at No. 515 Milwaukee avenue, Al Ryun in the chair, ‘The Chairmun stated that the object of the meeting was to organizea Tildeaand Hendricks company. Thereupon, after some gencral talk, the Secretary called the roll of the Club mem- bers, in order to learn how many men would join the company. Over sixty agreed to join. Michacl Carr was elected u member of the .Executive Committee, aud the election of the remaining members was postponed until the nextj meeting, which will occur Saturday eveniug. THE GREENBACKERS- A half-dozen sclf-sacrificing patriots hovered over a lamp in a Clark-street oflice last evening for several hours with a view to doing some- thing whereby the corpse of the Indcpendent or Greenback party might be revived in this city. The gathering called itself an Executive Committee, but it dishonored its name by fail- ing to do anything. Several of those present tried te enthuse the others with long speeches and cheap promises, but the gpirit was wanting. In fact, the trouble appeared to be that no onec hal any money, and no one knew anybody with any ‘who could~ be gotten .hold of for use in the Independent cause. This was perplexing in the cxtreme, and the question of deserting the sinking or sunken ship was for a time uppermost. Inthe midst of the discussion on this point, a meraber said that the Committee had boxed the cowmpass and made d—d fools of themselves, ete. It was finally agreed, however, to unite their speeches and wealth in'a desperate effort to rally the In- dependent furces, and to that cnd a meeting is to be held somewhere in the Fourteenth Ward Tuesday evening. —————— HOROLOGY.
