The Southernors controlled the Democratio party during {ta long tenure of offico prior to the olection of Linconw. Yet during that pe- riod, whon the moral sonso of the people had not beon blunted by tho excitements and spoculations growing out of a war, the dofal- cations, poculations, nnd embezzlements of public funds ranged from $3.80 up to $11 In overy $1,000 of public moneys recoived and disbursed. During the 16 years tho Republiecan party has adminis. terod tho public funds, the aversgo loss from thott and defaleation, notwithatanding the greater tomptation incident to the vastly greator sums handled, has been only 50 cenls in overy $1,000, and during the Inst eight yonra the loss has beon but 83 cents in every $1,000. Doos this comparison offer any Liope that tho publie fuuds will bo moro hon- estly ndministered by the Democrats than by the Republicans? Why, it is susceptible of demonstration that the Tammany-Hall De- mocracy, of which the present Domocratic candidate wos long timo chief, robbed the people of New York City salone of more money than ins been stolen from the whole peoplo of this country during tho 16 years of Republican administration, Is grenter honesty to bo nttained by confiding tho wholo Government fanto the hoands of that crowd? Is thero nnything in the history of tho Domocratia party or in its present personnel to warrant the hope that a elean sweep of all the mon now in office, and the substitution of Democrats who have been out of sorvico and ont of pocket for 16 years, will improve the chiaracter of the eivil servico ? **To tho victors belong tho apoila” is the motto of the Tinpen Democracy, as it was of the Jacrsoy Democracy, and there is no offico so high and no placo so low that it will not bo turned over to some blower for T1upEx, and “TReform.” Csn an improvement bo ex- peated from’'a borde of famished office. seckors whose greed for spoils is only equal- ed by thelr incapacity for public service? ‘Will there be an increnso, or cven a con- Tha devnstation of the City of):Savannah by the terrible scourgo of yellow fover ap- penls with peculiar foreo to Chicago, Those whoso menns will allow them to do so have left tho city, but the poorer classea have been compelled to remain at home, and it is among these that the fover rages most fatally, The home charity has beon taxed to thoe utmost and found {nsufficiont, and nlready an appeal has beon made for lielp from abrosd, whicl should not pass unheeded.

Cmanres Cnessey, of tho British army, who died a few weeks ngo, said in his roview of the Couxt pe Panis’ History of tho Civil War of America, speaking of the con- duct of the Union soldivrs : At Malvern 11111 they first taught the Confederates the truth which the world 14 slowly realizing, that the American suldier is most formidahlo when ap- parently defeated, and lerst subject to a panic when retreating before a victorious enomy. The Louiaville Courier-Journal does not liko the observation, and, for tho purposo of belittling the courage and coolucss of the Nortlern soldier, flings at it this spiteful roply: Nobody will deny that the American moldler at his best I8 Just as goud as any other noldler, eape- clally when it happens—as it unquestionably hap- yrened with seven-tentls of the bravest and best fightera of the late War—that the Amuerican soldler was born and reared In Iretand or Gerinany. It is o falsehood to nssori that **soven- tonths of the bravest aud best fighters of the late War were Irish or Gormaus." The records of the War Dopartment show that 78 pur cont of the Union soldiers wore native-born, and those of foreign birth 22 per cent. Tho Irish and Germans alone constituted some- thing like 16 per cont, the others being Bcandinavinns, Bohemians, Scolch, Welsh, ond Canndinng, and a small sprinkling of English and French. Buat nlmost four- fifths of the Union soldiers were natives, and the ssme proportion of the bravest and bost fighters were natives. The Irish and Germans wero just ns brave, but no particle braver than the uative-born soldiers. A large proportion of the mnative soldiers were the sons or grandsons of Eu- ropesns, Why should thoy be less brave or sagacious than their brothers or cousins who happened to bo born in Europe? And all the native-born soldiers were of Europeon ancestry, nonr or remote. The blood was the same, and the patriotism and love of the Union wore surely not less in the nativethan in the foreign born soldier. But the Con- federato organ could not help makinga fling at the Northern soldiers to the manner born. It was an old bonst down in Dixie beforo the War that one Southorner could whip half-n- dozen *Yankees,” but the ‘* Yankees,” ns they called Northern men, flogged that ego- tistical notion out of their pates, ponditures and reduction of taxes after the Demacrats shall hinve gnined completo and undisputed possession? If so, will it be due to Tammany IIall or to the Confederates? Will Tammany Hall point to the New York public works and its career undor Tinpen and Tweep as o plodgo of its desire for economy and retrenchmont? {Or will the Confedorates point to the bills introduced at tho last session of Congress for paying the Rabels their losses in tho War, asa samplo of their proposed retrenchmont ? Theso are a fow of the thoughts that shounld occur to honest men who have boon dazed by the ery of roform coming from a party that nover reformed anything, It must not bo forgotten that radieal changes arc as fro- quontly for the worse as for the botter, ——— SPECIAL STUDIES IN PUBLIOC SCHOOLS, ‘I'he Supremo Court has rocently decided (the opinion of tha Conrt was published in yesterday’s TRIDUNE) n case of considerable intorest undor the School laws. Tho case arose in 1871, in Winnebago County, FPnan- ces 8, Posr resided with her parents in the achool district, was entitled to the benefits and privileges of the public school, and was a pupil therein. The pupil was in g class which, under tho rules established by the Behool Dircctors, were required to study bookkeeping as part of the preacribed course of oducation in the school, Bhe had been directed by the Principal of the school to got the books, but declined, because her parents objected to her pursuing that study, Bhe and her parents wore notified that, un- less she complicd with tho requirements, sho would be expelled che school. On the morn- ing of April 25, 1871, she was expelled, tho Court atating the facts, as follows: Sho having failed to obtain the books, and iaving v usnal goue to the schoal-house without them, sbo was notified that her rights thero an a pupll hod ceased, and sho was requested to leave, but declined; the Principal took hold of her and led or pushed her out of the Lullding; having returned to the room and tho seat - she was nccustomed to occupy, she was laken therefrom and vjected, In the samo manner, from the bullding. Tho Principul on hoth occnstons pulled or pushed her from the room through the door, down the flret Aight of atalrs, and out of the door to a landing outsidu of the building, No bodily harm ls clalmed ta have been inflicted; she wa 10 years of nge, and her parents clalm and she tentificd that hur health was not good at the time of this aceurrence, and that she was receiving lessond In munic on the plano, outsideof the achool, with a view of becoming & teacher of music. She TO THOSE IN FAVOR OF REFOR, Wo are willing to beliove that there ore a good many men who serionaly think of vot- ing with the Democratic party this yoar in the hope that o chango of parties will bring about an improvoment in the admiuistration of public affairs, We have not in mind those Bourbon partisans who would gladly veto for his Satanio Majesty if Lo woro their party candidate for President, but thoso who are oarnestly thinking how they may cast their Dallot 80 as best to serve tho intorests of the people. To such persons we desire to in- dicate n line of thought that may help them in determining tho renl value of the Domo- cratic pretensa in bohalf of reform. 'T'hoy must start with the admission that the ruling clemonts of the Democratic party, in caso it sholl attain control of the Govern- | wuy expolied from the school-houso Inth presonco ment ot the coming election, will | of other pupils and scholars; she did not retarn to be the consolidated Confederatoy of | the echoul, nor docs it appear that sl would have been permitted to do so had sho desired, 8ha instituted an action of trespasa againet the Directors and the Principal of the achool; und, on trial in the Courtbelow, tho jury found s verdict In her favor, and asseased the dumages at $130. A motlon for a new trial was entered by defendants, but it was overruled by the Court, and a Judgment waa rendered on the verdict and the appeal, The questions raised by this case woro important, 1, The right of the Bchool Directors to prescribe o cotrse of instruction not expressly warrantod by the law. 2, The power of tho Dircetors to enforco that study against the wish of the pupil and of tho pa- rents. 8, The power of the Dircetors to ex. pol for any cause other than disobediont, ro- fractory, or incorrigibly-bad conduct. The Court meots all thaso questions nud authorita- tivaly determines them, ‘'he Behool law enumerates orthography, rending in English, penmansliip, nrithwmotic, English grammar, modern geography, and the history of the United BStates, as the studies of the public schools, The law adds, however, “that nothing herein contained shall prevent tho teaching In the common schools of other and higher branclies than thoso cnumerated in this scction.” 'The Court holds that the design of tho law- makers was to give all tho children of the State the opportunity to acquire, freo of chargo, a knowledge of the ennmerated Uranches required to be taught. All school regulations must have this purpose m view; that is the purposo of the jaw, Tho law clothes the Directors with the power to expol pupils, but only “for disobedicut, refrac- tory, or incorrigibly-bad conduct,” and this forfeiture of school privileges can only bo onforced and the right lost after oll other reasonablo means have failod, ‘The Court, waiving a decislon whother the Dircctors may compel tho study of all the enumerated classos, meets tho other questions omphatically thus; The questlon here presonted fs, whother the power has beon granted the Directors to compel scholard to study other and higher branches than those enimnerated in the law. It fu obvlous to the wunds of all that the General Assombly did not in. tond to clothe the School Directors with power to erect aud malntaln seminarles, scademies, col. leges, or universities, and compel the teachlng of the regular course of studles usually adopted by thoas bodies. 'Pho attempt to exerclee such power would bo fa. e, 18 would bankrupt the people, fail to lmpart the education designed (o be canforred by such In- stitutions, and would not, 1t is believed, material. Jy clovate the standard of cducation smong the great Lody of tho poople, as only s small number have united the capucity and fuclinstion to scquire auch a libers) educstion, We presumo that nune the South and the Tammany-IHall Democrats of New York, Togother these ele- ments not morely forn tho numcr.- el mafority of tho party, but they constituto all the forco and vigor of the party. The question to be determined, then, by ull men who are genuinely in favor of ro- form, is: What reform is to ba expected from this combination? Canit bo in the financinl affairs of the nn. tion? Will tHe ascondenoy of a sectionnl party that onco sought to destroy the Gov- ment, and which plunged it into debt by tho attewpt, Improve the credit of the nation? The American Government is now selling 4} ppr cont bonds at par. Ours is the only nation burden. ed with n debt, excopt England alono, which can borrow monay at any such torms. ‘Tho ronson of it fs to bo found in tho fact that the Republican administration of the Government hos roduced the national dobt §6560,002,246 since the close of the War, and, while doing se, hiag likewise reduced tax- ation in an aggrogate of 309,850,171, In other words, the Republican party las run the Govornment and saved nenrly ong thou- sand millions of dollars since the War, Is thero any reasonabla hope that the Confed. orates and Tammany Tlall will do ns well ? Can any political reforms Lo oxpected from such # combination? Is thero reason to hope for any improvement in the exerciso of tho right of suffrage among the inasses? Will the polls bo safer and the ballot-box moro sacred? Will tho negroes of the Houth, to whom suffrage was given by con. stitutional nmendment, bo permitted to vxor- ciso that right as fully and freely ns other citizena? Will tho patriotio sentiment for tho Union Dbe enlarged by intrusting tho Government to thoso who onca tried to destroy {t? Will the old setional batred be obliterated by rostoring the fire-cating element to supremacy ¥ Isit nocessary, in order to bring about Larmouy .ond conciliation, that the men who fought to sustain the Union must now resign it into the hands of the men who fought to disrupt it? Cannotthoe North feel good-fellowship for the Bouth without giving buck all it fought for, aud canuot the South conciliate on any other terms than that of absolute sud supremne dominion? Is not the experionco of the past & warning against the dangers incident to permitting arrozant and uncom. promising sectiounlism to rule? ‘What i3 the bonest proapect of reforming tinuation, of the retrenchment of public ox-. would contend hat tho permlesion to teach other and higher branches could he tortured Into the meaning that it embracen tha coursea pursaed In such Institutlons, We regard thisas true heyond all dispute, Theeo {a, then, a Hmit to the power to havo uther and higher branches tanght in our com- nion rchools, Ihis iy comprohensive, and is so reasonn. ble and just that it must meot with gonoral acceptance, It ia not tho purposa of the cominon schools to provide a liberal, or acn- domio, or collegiate education to the few, at tho cost of the fond provided to give a knowledgo to ali the children of the Stato of the ordinary lranchos of education, The tondonoy to crigple tho common sehool to tbuild up higher branchos of edueation is gevoral, To encournge or promote it is to weakon nnd dertroy the conmon school, It is to tax the multitude for schools for all, and apply the monoy to & clnss of rchools only attonded by n fow. The High-School system i n most valuablo auxiliary to the common school, but it esanot bo mamntained at the cost of the funds collected for the common school, The introduction of special studics in the common schools has long beon o source of complaint, the more so beeause instruction in these special su“flun has beon made, in Chicago at lenst, compulsory. In this Win. nebago school, tho study of bookkoeping was mndo compulsory ; in Chicago, tho study of German, once begnn, becomes compulsory 80 long 08 tho papil remains in the school. The pupils in like manner must take lessons in music and drawing, and espeainlly buy the books, so long as thoy remain in the schools. There hava besn complnints and protests againat theso studies, but the School Board hins been inexomble, and the great cost, ns woll natfie wasle of timo and tho expondi- ture for books, bas been poromptorily maiu. tained. ‘ It istime that public nttention, and especi- ally the attention of School Directors and Boards of Edueation, should bo given to this subjoct. Tho great purpose of the public schools was to give tho opportunity to all tho children in the State to have, at tho pub- lio cost, instruction in certnin studies, and theso aro enumorated to bo orthography, reading in English, penmanship, arithmetic, English grammar, modern geography, and tho history of the United States, The com- mon-school syatam docs not inclnde taxstion for any highor olnss of studies than these, it being the purpose of tho law to instruct allthe children in thess, and to lot those sceking higher education to do so at their own and not at the cxpense of the public. The Court, after its viow of tho law, nf- firmed tho judgment of tho Cirenit Court for damages for the forciblo expulsion of this young lady, holding the action of the School Directors and Prineipal to hinve been without authority of law, and grossly violative of the rights of the pupil to the privileges of the public schools, The Court lays down thorule within which papils can be susponded or expolled from the schools, and the rule is all too narrow to jus- tify the Chicago system of suspensions and expulsions. The child in Chicago, no matter how obediont and tractable, who can got through a year's schooling withont being suspended or oxpolled two or throe times, is fortunate. Indeed, School Boards, ag o gon. cral thing, mngnify their oflice, and forget that tho schools are not their privato property, that the schools are not charitablo institu- tions, and that schools were not created for School Boards or teachers, Tho schools are the proporty of the public, intended for the {ree instruction of tho children who attond themn, as a matter of right and not of form, and that any rulo intended or having the effoct to exclude a child is a dircet violation of the spirit and lotterof the law. A NEW DEFENSE FOR TILDEN, Mr, W, F. Coornauai has beon making a TiuneN speech beforoono of tho ward otubs, in the courso of which he found it neceasary, a3 other Domocratic specch-makers find it necessary, to defond Mr, T1Lprx against tho daninging evidenco which brands him as s roveuno defrouder, But Mr. CooLnaven avidently hnd no respect for the defenso put forth by Mr, TrLyes through his clerk, Sryxorr, and so adopted o now line, which is reported a8 followa : The next time [sald Mr. CrotnAvan] any of his hearers maot Mr. Joszrn MeviLy, Joux WENT wouTil, or Gov, Buoss, and thia subject was al- laded to, thoy should ask thoso gentlemen how much they returned us thelr incomea in 1802, Ho would guarantee that cver after nothlng further would be heardof TsLpex In this respect. Those gentlomen would have ns muich as they could do to tuke care of thelr own records, Mr, Coorpaval hns hind tho bad taste to insinunte, without any personal information about the matter, thatthe gontlomen honamed falsifiod their income roturns. Of course we cannot spenk for Mr. WextwonTm, who is well ablo to defond himsolf ; but, as to the other two, we will st tho matter at rest by saying that they mnde an ftomized return of their incomo falthfully and honcstly for overy year in whioh the tax was lovied ; that the Governmont rocords will show what the itoms were, and that Mr. Cooinavon is at porfect liberty to examine the records con- taining thesoroturns! No explanation will Do needed, s the returns will tell the full story. It would have been more decont in Mr. Coounavan to have taken this course be- foro making 50 mean and unwwrranted an insinuation, But tho lino of defonse Alr, Goornavan has adopted is not creditable eithier to him- welf or Tivey, If the remnrk we have quoted from his specch has any significanco, it means that it was the practice of the time to falsify incoma returns and swindlo the Government, nud that Tiwoen dido't do worsie than other people. We are averse to tho beliof that Mr, Coorusavan comprehended fully the meaning of such an admission, Withont any referonce to what others did, it is a confossion that he Bupposes TiLbpEN falsified his income, and inforentially justi- fies him in doing so. We presumo that, if Alr, Cooruavan thinks TiLpex might do this without wrong, then he (CoorLnaven) would be ncquitted on the same ground if he had followed what ho intimntes waas the practice of the day, We hopo that Mr, CoorLnavan wad an oxcoption to what ho thinks was the rale, but the testunony produced shows that Tioex was not, Mr, Coornavan is very much mistaken, however, in his assumption that raising tho quostion a3 to how much income tax some of tho proprietors of ''us ‘Tursunk paid will silenco Tie Tomnung as to Tioex's falo in- come roturns, Wo shall not be diverted fromn the issue by looking into Mr, Coor- pavan's incowe retnrns, which are of small concern to tho public, but shall continue to oxpose the Democratio candidate for Preai- Aont s o defrauder of the Government, by virtue of the published evidence ngainst him, until he makes such an exhibit of his ocarnings ns will show that thoy did not ex- coed an average annual income of §15,000 for tho term of ten years when the tax was lovied. And wo warn Mr, Coornavom that such explanations as ho advanced the other evening before the Nemocratio Olub will damnge Mr, Tizngw as well as the man who | voluntears them, rather than bouefit either of thom. LEGISLATIVE NOMINEES, The Demootats have given tho Republic. ans a full opportunity to clect two-thirds of the Reprerontatives to the Legislature, and also the throo Senators who aro to be chosen, Of all the many solectiona by nominating conventions of nll parties in this county, tho wenkest, most incompatent, and jrre. sponsiblo nominations we have over had to record are thoso made on Baturday by the Democratic Convontions. The nominations for Benators wers C., J. Apasts in the Second District, J. E. Evaxa in the Fourth District, and BL A, Druaxgy in the Sixth District, As theso nominations are an open confesslon and open Invitation of defeat, it is unnoces- sary to discuss the situntion in theso dis- triots. 'Tho Domocrats scem to have beon equally desirous that tho Ropnblicans should olect ns many Roprosentatives a8 tho law will permit, As the minority must havo ode momber in each district, they scom to have selooted Mr. WexTwonen in the First Dis. trict, Mr, Bstirn in the Sccond, and Mr, Voss in the Sixth District for eleotion. We will not ncouso the Domocratio pnrty of any intention of electing any of the other nominees unless compolled to do so. In tho Third District throo eandidates wero nominated. ' Wo do mot know Mr. SuemaN, but we acquit evon tha Domocracy of that distiet of any purpose to eloct ecithor Hickey or Enzenpacnen to tho StatogqLegialn- ture. There is, therefore, an open invitation to the Republicans to nominate and elect two candidates in that Domoeratio district. In the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Districts, the Damocrats, with equal liberality, concedo the odd members to the Republicans, and, if possible, would concedo all, sooner than eloct any of their own candidntos. Tha Ropublicans in the soven districts may therefore assumo that they will eloct the threo Senntors and 14 of tho 21 Reprosonta- tives, Thero is, howaver, ono way in whioh this can be defeated. Should tho Repnblic~ ans nominate candidates as bad, as unfit, nnd ns incompotent for tho oflico, as the Demoorats have done, it may bo necessary for an outraged and indignant public to take the business in hand and name other candi- dates, to be supported in the interest of the public, and especially in tho intorest of the ombarrassed and suffering city.

THE ULTRAMONTANES AND TURKEY, The announcement thnt the Great Powers of Europo—Russin, England, Austris, and Germany—hnve sottlod upon torms of peace betweon Turkey and her Sclavio Provinces undoubtedly sottles the political questions involved, ns Turkey will not dare to question the agreement of her stronger neighbors, and brings the war to nclose. There are, however, many other interesting fontures of this memorabla struggle which no peace can sottle, and which will be discussed when the history of the Turco-Servian campaign is writton. Among them is tho position occupied by the Ultramontaue faction of the TRoman Catholio Church, with the Pope at its hend, towards the Greek Christians, It is a matter of indisputable record that the Catholis Church lias not expressed & word of sympnthy for tho Sclaves from the com. moncement of their struggle to its closo; that it has nover uttered a syllable of protest ngninst tho infernal atrocities of tho Turks in Bulgaria, ‘whicki havo'raised such a storm of indignation throughout tho Protestant world; and that, on more than one oceasion, the Pope has given exprossion to his friendly sentimeonts townrds the Sublime Porte, and nssured tho butchors of women and children of his cordial favor, 1t is not difficult to trace tho canse of this closo nlliance betwoen Ultramontanism and Mohammodanism. It was formed not be- causo the Catliolic Church partioularly loves tho Mussulmans, but beeause it particularly dotests the Greek Christinns, The roots of this hostility run back almost to the timo of the beginning of the Christinn era. It com- monced as far back ns 482, when tho Groek Church first rojected some of the dogmas of tho carlior Ecumenienl Councils, and the Pa. triarchs of Coustnntinople and Alexandria were excomnunicated by Fyurx, Bishop of Rome, Two hundred years lator, the Em. perons at the Court of Constantinople claimed powers which the Bishops of Rome would not concede, nud, the more they became estranged from cach other, the moro arbitra. rily was the supreme power of Rlome oxer- cised. 'The couflict rapidly became sorious, and in 1054 tho grest schism was fully declared. Trom that time 1o this, the two Churches have been hostile to eack other, Tho Roman Catholio Church has neverwholly abandoned the hope of n reunion of the two Churches, but every overture mado by it hins been firmly rojocted, In 1848, Prus IX, invited tho Enstern Church by an onoyclical letter to a corporate union with Rome, but the proposition was refused. Even ng lato as 180, invitations were seut to tho Greek Bishops to attoud the Vatican Couucil, and_poremptorily declined. It isn pecnlinrly significant feature of this strugglo betweon the two OChurches that the Bulga- rian Christions lave been thomost deter- mined opponents of Rome, Y Tho sacrot of this bitter hostility lies in tho fact that the Groek Olurch i8 a competing Obureh with the Roman Oatholic. Unlike the Protestant Church, which has nothing in common with tho Catholie, tho Greok Church has much in common with it, and has nlways beon an aclive, dotormined, uncompromising rival, It still claims tho Apostolio succession. It holds, in common with it, tho doctrines of tho sac. raments, the sacrifice of the mass, the von. cration of the Virgin, the salnts, images, aud relics, tho ecclesinstical orders and monnati- cism, Dut, with the Groek Oharch, baptism by immersion is & form, not a dogma, It administers the Encharist in both kinds, It denies a purgatory. It holds that the Holy Ghost proceeds from tho Fathor sololy, It approves the marriage of pricsts, Worse than all, it disowns tho authority of the Pope. It is thorefore & great rival Church, numbering ten millions of, peoplo, uncom. promisingly hostile to any unjon with Romo, and yet running parallel withs it in its gen- oral faith, modes of worship, and work, The sympsthy of lome with the Mussul. mans in thelr struggle with the Belaves is not of recent origin. When tho Turks over. ran Europe, it was thelr bitter foe within Cathollo dominions down to the Hun. garian borders, When they passed those bordors, and the struggle was truusforsod to the Belavie wroviuces, Rome consed all opposition troops to the Turkish army, with their Moslem tyrants; on tho other hand, hns sont words of oncourngoment tp signorie have shown their by iovesting heavily in Turkish bLonds, Even tho Italian Government, liberal as it Is, and indepondont of Rome ns it is, has had no encourngemont to offer the Christinns. Not nn Ultramontane country in Europe has protestod ngainst Turkish Austrin has been the firm friond of Turkey throughont, and the only mon in France who lave sent words of cheer to the struggling Christinns, and whose hearts have been touched by the inhuman mnssacro and torture of thousands of helploss women and children, have been the extremo Republicans like Vicror Huco, It has been resorved for Protestant Englond and Ger- tyranny and misrule, many to espouse the cause of the Ohirstinns, Russin naturally taking the same course, boing botind to them by race nxd religion, In this great religious war between Ohristinnity and Moslemism, tho Protostant Church has sided with tho former; the Roman Catholic Church las aided and encouraged a religion which makes fts votn- rios monators of cruelty and bensts of sensn. ality ; a religion which has raised an impos- sable barrier betweon itself and eivilization ; a religion which maintains itaclf by whole- snlo slaughter, by the murder of men, the ravishing of women, and the torturo of chil- dren, FITTED FOR MEMBERSHIP, Tt is not alleged, so far as we have noticed, that Saxc J, TiLpeN over belonged to the Order of the * Golden Circle,” alizs * SBons of Liborty,” alias tho * Order of the Star,” and yot he oxpressed sontiments before the Rebellion, during the Rebellion, and after tho Rebellion, which made him eligible for membership in that treasonable Order under For examplo, at the great moeting of Deniocratio lenders in Albany on tho 1st of Fobrnary in 1861, Tmpex declared in tho speoch he any of its forms or transformations, mndo on that occasion : I for ono will reslst UNDER ANT CINCUMSTANCES TIE USE OF YONCE TO CORNCE THE SOUTIL INTO THE UnioN.
