Greenbacks at the Now York Gold Ex- chango yesterday closed at 003, The 9th of Octobor, the anniversary of Chicago's great conflagration, will be ob. sorved, as usual, by n general suspension of Lusiness and the closingof the public offices, Becretary Monnmwr, in his effective com- paign document of yesterdsy, announces that the national debt was lessened during the month of Soptember to the smount of $2,915,965. Which looks like practical re. trenchment, The County-Attornoy has been instructed by the Board of Commissioners to begin suit for tha recovery of the money stolen by Pe. miozaT and the Ring in the furnishing of county supplies. ‘This move is doubtless intended to clean up o number of soiled reputations, it being understood as & matter of course that the county will be nunable to ®rovo that the frauds wero committed. TReports from the town elections in Con- necticut show strong Republican gains so far o8 returns have been received. Tho candi- dates voted for were of minor importance, and the only significance of tho result will o to show tho genoral drift of party politics in New England. Maine and Vermont have already shown this in the most cheering mmanner, and the tidal wave seems to have extended to Counccticat. Another expensive luxury is to by dis- sponsed with by tho prosent Reforn Council —that of keeping on hand unoccupied and anproductive real estate to the value of $1,000,000 or more, ‘The city is in no con- dition to keop this property, and the Com- mon Council Lins voted to sell it forthwith, ‘The resolution accepting tho offor of $800,- 000 for tho Lake-Fronut tract was adopted Yyesterday, ns also n resolution instructing tho Comptroller to advertiss for sale several smaller picces of land located in various parts of the cit; Tho Prosident of the West Side Gas Com- pany still refuses to believe that the Com- 'mon Council means business in its demand for n reduction of the price of gos to $1.50 per 1,000 cubic feet. Te has roiterated his proposition to come down $1, but, as this would still leave tho prica $2, or 0 conts moro than that aceopted by the South Side Company, the Council is left the alternative of censing nltogether to patronize Mr, Bz~ zINos and of closing at once a contract for oil for the street-lamps, The Democratio County Committes are srrestling with the ense of the bummers and scalawags who have obtained places on the tickets thus far nominated, Legislative and Congressional, It scems to be taken for granted that a groat deal of enorgetic boune- ing must be dono to save tho party in Cook Counly from shamoful defeat and total anni- hilation, but the Conumittes stand aghast at the wagnitucle of the job on their hands, They have about concluded to wait until aftor tho Jounty Convention meets, and then closo out the wholo business at once, It they will wait a little longer—say until the 7th of November—the pooplo will save uu;‘m the trouble of reconstructing their ticket, ‘Wo print this m g an interesting letter from n correspondont who has just completed an extended tour of observation through the Bouth, the purposo of the tour being to ascertain and report with literal exactuess, so far as possible, and wholly withont partiality or prejudice, the true condition of affairs, That he has fulfilled his instructions ns to impartiality, and has made good wse of his eyes and ears, will scarcely be disputed.

It is not probnble that a singlo friend or supporter of Gov, HATEs for tho Presidency wns shaken in his confidence and esteem by the sailly slander published in the Chicago Times of Sept. 30, The simple fact that this story appeared exclusively in tho Zimes waa sufficlent to ot once excito n strong suspicion of its falsity, and what was a suspicion becomes an absolute certainty in the light of the facts which wo pnblish this inorning, not so much for the vindication of Gov. Haves, whoso char. ncter i proof ngainst the vilest slnn- der the Ohicogo Times oould concoot, ns for the purpose of showing just how shallow aud causcless thenasault was, It was an ensy stop for old Sroner from the bribing of perjured witnesses to blackon the rsputation of an estimnble yonng lady to o resort to tho aid of » blackmailing sconndrel in manufacturing scandal against a Presi- dential candidate. The Times is thoroughly up in this sort of work, Mr. Braine has Geon looking over thoHon. Cnanvres Fraxcis Apans’ record in Congress, and hes discovered a dark spot which, affoct- ing aa it docs the reputation of o descondant of tho noble fainily of Presidents, should be known of men that the country mny not at- tribute to the man of to-day the virtues for which his ancestors wero so justly revered. It appears that the most prominent netion in Mr. Apaus’' Congressionnl carcer in 1861, after tho olection of Mr. Lixcorn, was to propose an amondment to the Na- tional Constitution whereby the slavehold- ing Btates should have, through their Con- grossmen, the exclusive care of their insti- tution, that no amendment looking to the abolition of slavery should ever be submit. ted by a non.slaveholding Stato, and, if sub- mitted by a Southern member, should, in order to secure its adoption, be approved by the united South. That such a proposition 88 this should come from n descondantof tho great Champion of Freedom is of itself startling commentary upon tho dogeneracy of tho nge when considered in conncction with the depraving influences that surround tho averago Democratie politician, MR, TILDEN'S VIEWS OF SECESSION. The biographers of Ar. Sax TrLpex relate that ot the age of 18 he was often present at political discussions at his father's house, and that in the fall of 1832 he prepared o paper, which was published in the Albany Argus, Slling one-half of one page of that newspaper, and itis claimed that this ad. dress “*shaped the policy of the Democratic party und fired the Democratic hoart.” The biographers, however, do not publish this oxposition of Democracy by the youthful TrupeN. We are left to infer, if not expross- ly informed, that Mr. TrLpex has porsistent- ly maintained the same Democratio doctrine ever since, and for thiz purpose several speeches and papera written by him aro pub- lished. From all theso it 18 claimed as de- monstrated that Mr. Truoex has boen from Lis schoolboy days devoted to the main. tenance of a government of limit- el powers s opposed to ono of national powers; to the maintenance of n confedernoy of sovercign States ns opposed to o national union ; to the existence of a part~ nership or compact of States, instend of a union of peoplo: in short, to o donial of American untionality, and the assortion of a 1mere political agency for certain free, sov- croign, and independent States, Mr, Tir- pEN insists that the constituents of the Gov- crnmont of the Uniled States aro not the people, but the Btate Governmeuts, which act as politicnl corporations, nud whoso sov- ereignty and autonomy are neither weakened nor destroyed by, nor merged in, any system of National Government, Mr, Tizoex defines ¢ nationality," or the doctrine that the Uni. ted States constitute n nation, possessing all the powers cssential to a sovereign nation, to bo ** centralism,” and he uses this term in all it varintions as sowmething opposed to tho theory of n mero confederacy or partner- ship of States, each originally a soveroignty. In his lottor of October, 1860, just on the eve of tho socession movement, TiLpeN wroto to Judge Kent: Eacli scction {8 orgunlzed into States with com- plete governments, holding the poiwer and wielding the mcord. They are held togethor only by a come pact jof confederation. . . .

The masters in political sclence who constricted our systom preserved the State Governmonts as bulwarks of the freedom of indi- viduals and localities agalnst oppression from cen- trallzed powor. They recognized no right of con- etitutlonal eecession; NUT THEY LEFT NEVOLUTION ORGANIZED WIENEVER IT 8110ULD DE DEXANDED BY THE PUDLIC OPINION OF A STATE,—LEFT 1T, WITIL TUE I'OWEN TO BNAT TUK TIE OP CONSIDERATION AR ANATION MIGHT DHEAK A TIREATY, AXD TO HEPEL COENCION AH A NATION MIGNT REPEL INVABION, They caused us to dopend In great ineasure upon 1he public oplnion of the States, in order to main- tain a confederated unlon, Here we havo tho statement broadly ss- serted that the Coustitution, while it did not provido for secession, Joft to cach State the right of rovolution,~left it with tho power to ‘‘snap the tie of confoderation,” aud to repel coorcion a4 an invasion, Here, then, was an assortion of the power of rebellion, which Tupex statos was loft by the Cousti- tution to each State, and he puta this right on the ground that there can be no common arbiter to decide betweon Btates, Iere is his own language : No contract governing complicated transactions or relations between men, snd upplylng perma~ nently throngh the changes Inevitable in human atfuirs, can be cffectual if either party intended to coustrue or exccuto ity provisions in a uplrit of hos. 1ility to the substantlal objects of thoss provis- fous, —eapecially ta this lrue of a compact of con- Jederation between the Stutes, where there can be no comnion urbiter incested with authorilles and poiwers equally capable wlA those whiek courts possess betwesn ndividuals for delerminlag and enforcing a just construction andexecution of the uatrument, Iu theso two oxtracts we have Mr, Tiunex nsserting that undor tho Constitution, which ia but *“a compact of confederation betwoen the States,” ench Btalo retains its right of revolution; and that no action of the Gen- eral Government can apply pormpnently if any Btate think proper to disregard it, be- causo there is no arbiter anywhere .to de. termine such & controversy nor having au- thority to enforco the law., It will bo seen that Mr. Trupey excludes altogether tho ex- Istence of a national authority, o dssumes that such o controversy must bo be. tween one sot of Hlales and the re- maining States. ‘The national authority is not recognized. e considered that if the Northern States clected Mr. Lancorn the Bouthern Btates would not abido the result, snd would regard him oy representing Statos foroigu to them ; that if they iuvoked the power of revolution left them by the Cousti. tution, and snap tho tie that bound them to the confoderation, there 1as no power Lft to coerce them to submission, Mr. TiLDEN held that Mr. Lmcony, in any ao- tion by him ngainst the people in the meceding and rebelllous States, wonld bo the mero agent of certain States trying to coorco the other mombers of the dissolved partnorship. In no senso does Mr, TiLDRN considor the existonco of a National Govern~ ment clothed with the power to suppress in- surrcotion or robellion. 1ie ignoroes the pos- sibility of the exerciso of any nntional an- thority by ignoring tho oxistenco of any such authority. To him the whole controversy was ono between anumber of *‘sovereign Btates” on each side, withont nny common arbiter to decide, or any tribunnl having power to enforce n decision, According to him, tho secession by any Stato was a finali- ty, and, as Lo oxpected all tho Southern States to secede, he considerad that out of the frag. ments of the confedoration thero would be constructed two, in one of which African slnvery would be perpetuated. Hero is what o said to Judge Kext: Yet theNorth may, in 8 paroxysm, alarm and repel the South ont of the Unfon. 1f it shoald do so,and 1t we shonld yet escape or recover from civil war, would we not soon wish to cstablish treattes of peaco, —of free trade between them and us, —of un- obstructed fintercourss between our cltizons? Might we not even desiro an alliance for common defense? Tsitnot clear that such arrangements would be eminently wise and eminently conducivo to the prosporlty and welfare of hoth parties? Wonld not such an arrangement be a salutary ex- tension and improvement of thesystem which mod- ern civilization Is applying by diplomacy between independont natlons all over the world? It was this theory of ItLpex's, that the secossion of the South would be flnal, that no power could bo exercised to coerce them, and that in a veryebriof time the North wounld be npplying diplomacy to establish commercinl intercourse between the two confederacies, that encournged secession and precipitated the South into rebellion. - They did not believe that the General Government would resort to war, or that the Northern Democrats would permit sovercign Btates to Lo coerced. Mr. TiLpEN nspires to the Presidency—of what? According to bis own theory, there i no nation and no nationnlity in the United States. He secks to bo Presidont of a ** con- federation™ as opposed to a ‘“nation”; President of a confederation which is bound togather by no tie which mny not be enapped asunder at the will of any State or number of Btates; o confederation which has no inheront powers of defense or protec- tion agninst the adverse will of any of its membors; a confederation having no power to determine any question or to en- forco its authority ogainst the objec- tion of any State; a confederacy which may bo dissolved at pleasure and divided into any number of confoderacies ; o confed- aracy of which as President he willbe a mere diplomatic or commercial ngont, acting undor written instructions from tho States, which power s ngont and which instructions may be revoked at any time by either onc of the thirty-cight States. Hoisnot to be Presi- dont of the Amorican Ropublic nor of tho United States; o is not to represent tho United States, but thirty.eight sovereign powers, He is to bo selected ns o citizen of New York, to which Stato he owes all his al- leginneo, and he is to ignore any political character a8 a citizen of tho United States. If any of these Htatea shall seceds or with- draw, ho is not to exercise nny ** contralized” power of compelling the people of that State to submission or of treating any independent government in such State as treasonablo ; the most ho proposes to do, in caso of socession, is to offer his services as o diplomat in arranging troaties of peace and commerce botwoen thoso States remaiuing in the old confoder- ation and thoso uniting in tho new confed- cracy or confederncies. Ife is not to be President to uphold and maintain the Union against enemies foreign and domestic ; but he shall so conduct the Govermmnent that in caso of secession thero shall be no war, but & peaceful dissolution of the confedoracy in. to ns many other confedorncics as the sov- ereign States shall dotermine, After the torrible and costly exporionce of thoe last sixteen years, do the people of the United Btates want to go back, nnd now ndopt a3 the priuciplo of the Government the disunion theory on which the Rebollion and the Civil War were founded? Do we want to restoro the Buomavan Government nud polioy in the person of Tunen? Do we wish to confess that tho War to preserve the Unionwas a crimo, and now bogin again where we stood in 1860, and declare this Union a mero commercial partnership of States, which may be dissolved at pleasure? FORCED. The old swashbuckler of tho Zimes says “ho {s not in tho habit of being forced to any oxprossion of opinjon or judgmont ‘whatsoever,” It is not likely that he wonld confess his poltroouery to his readers. It is onough that thoy see it without his admit- ting it. It may not yet be o confirmed habit to be forced to an expression of opin- jon, but unless he changos his course the practico will hardon into a regular habit before long. In June laat the editor of tho T'imes, upon o fall roview of all tho facts, declared thnt #all roprosentations and protensions that Mr. TrLpey is a Reformor are utterly false and fraudulent, constituting part of s grand scheme of political decoption.” Binco thon he hes been * forced” by some mflucnce,— whether pecuniary, political, or spiritual, ia not known,—to swallow his words oud servilely declare that ‘TiLoex is a genuino re- former, and that ho is not n part of n grand sclieme of political deception. Defore ho was torced to utter untruths for partisan effeot, the *‘old man” sald in the Z'imes that 'TrLpEN was brought forward by a combination and intrigue of which ha himself was primo mover"; but some infln- ence mado the Z'imes back outof that inde- pendent expression of opinfon. At avother thue it charged that * TiLpeN ropresents the greater part of the Lammany gang.” Again it characterized the nction of the 8t. Louls Convention as *‘an examplo of such politi- cal whorcmongering ss defamed the old Bourbon party in its worst days of corrup- tion, and rendered it a stench in the nostrils of honest men," But the independent (?) editorof the Z'imes has beon forced to complotely back down from theso chargos. Hoero is another of his positions from which ho Las been forced to reireat: TiLuEN and HExpmicrs combined would de o guarantee of the auccets of the Maxea party even nindigng. **Tho finzucial question goes to the ays one urganist who proposcs to bent and Wuseren with sn orailrorhynchus ticket, whouo authors shall advertive thelr own po- Mtical depravity by ssking boneat men to vote far an organized contradiction, one cnd of which in fruud one way and the other end of which s froud the opposite way. Such a combination would curry « certificate of political fraud ou the faco of it.

So palpable @ JSraud would disguat both the friends of honcst ‘money and the devotees of thecrelched legal-tender awindle, and receive the approbation of none but political huckaters. THE CAUSE OF SOUTHERN DISORDER. ‘I'he Now York Nation, withall the gravity of an owl at noonday, and with just about as much wisdom, propounds the following question: **How is it that peaco and order reign in tho Btates in which the whites are in the mnjority ?" (reforring to the Southern Btates), We are o littla surprised that a paper which makes such large pretensions to sapiency, and which sets itself up as the final arbiter in all matters, should have asked o question that any child may answer, In the first place, it is not true that ponce nnd order do reign in all the States where the whites are in the mnjority, ns for instance in Texas, where no man, white or black, has any security for his life or property, and where, under Democratic rule, crimo is un- punishable, But, assuming the rulo to be generally true, the Nation need uot go far for its amawer. It is becauso in such States tho whites havo their own way absolutely and without question. They havo no ono to quarrel with, unless thoy quarrol with themselves, Where they have the numerical majority they have absolute political control. 'The colored Ropublicans admit it. They nccept the situation nnd make the best of it, instend of organizing themsolves into Ku.Klux Klans and raiding, terrorizing, snd intimidating the majority. Thuy do not collect in armed gangs and go about nights shooting Democrats at their firesides or in their beds. Thoy do not drive Democrats from their homes, They do not organizo into armed mobs and brosk up Domocratio meotings. Being in the mi- nority, they peacofully and quioctly, submit to tho rulo of the majority, and take such protection as the whites accord thom. The blacks aro poaceabio, orderly, and law.nbid- ing. That is the rcason why pence and order reign in tho States whero the whites havo the majority. The question which the Nation asks'in. volves auother question, As peace and order roign in the States whore the whites have tha meajority, it implies that anarchy and disor- der reigu in the States whore the whites are in the minority. How this happens to bethe cnso {8 the question which the Nativn should have asked, nnd, as this is a question which it is uscless to expect the Nation to answer Lionostly, we will anawer for it. Turbulence and bloodshed prevail in these States because the minority will not consent to bo ruled by tho majority. In every Southern Btate where the minority is composed of White-Leaguers, and Ku.Klux, and ex-Robels, thoy will not submit when honestly defented, Not being able to accomplish their purposes by the bal. lot, they resort to the bullet. In ev. ory BState, county, sud voting-precinct whore they aro in the minorily, thoy have * organized hell” ‘The Nation very well knows that thero is not n village in the South containing 100 Repub- Jcan blacks and 50 Confedorato whites in which the 50 armed whites are not assault- ing oand terrorizing the 100 unarmed and defonseless Dlacks. In Mississippi, tho 76,000 Confedorates have crushed out the 100,000 blacks by violence. In Louisiaus, whero the Confederates are in a miunority of 10,000, tho same result hns been socured by tho same means. In Bouth Carolina, whero thera are five Republicans to two Confeder- ates, tho Mississippi Plan has beon insti- tuted, and the mnjority is held under by terrorism and ostracism. Al over the Bouth, the Confedorato minority, Laving the supe- rior intolligonce, bLeing powerfully armed, and having coutrol of tho courls, juries, sheriffs, and constabulary, are thus tyran- nizing over the nijority, and this sufficiently accounts for tha condition of things in the South as implied by the supercilious ques- tion of the Nation. That it should have asked such a quostion does not refloct oredit upon its intelligence or its fairness, THE REBEL CLAIMS, The Chicago Z%mes, tooting the Trpen- party fog-horn, and apprehonsive of the dan. ger ahead, undertakes to divert public atten. tion from the national baukruptey threatened by the Confederate purpose of wmaking the North indemnify the South for the lusses of the War, and to to do this prints a number of private claims introduced at the ‘last ses- alon of Congress by Republican . mnembers of tho House, An examination of these private claims shows them to be made by lyal citi- zens, many of them reslding in Northern Btates, for losses by Confoderate raids or for tho ocoupation and uss of property by tho Uniled States avmy. It has been the prac- tico of the Governmont ever since tho close of the War to allow such claims when fully proved up, and when the losses wero sus- tuained by loyal men. 'The justice of this practice cannot well bo denied, though it may have beon abused fn some cases, But to cite thesa claims for the ppr- pose of showing that Ropublican Congress- men oro as dangerous as the Confederato Congressmon, who propose to open the door to all the didoyal men who sustained losses during the war thoy waged against the Union, is very much the same thing as if the Times shonld ondeavor to prove Mr, Tiuoen inuocent of the crimo of falsifying hiain. cowo returns by demonstrating beyond ques- tion that he did not kill his grandmother. Now, the seriousness of the charge and the essence of tko danger of Confederato suprem- acy consists, not of the iutroduction of any individua! claims undor the presont law (which prohibits their allowance to men who took part in the Robellion), cither by Dem- ocratio or Republican mewmbens of Congress, but of tho purpose of the Confederates to change tho law aud authorizo the payment of clnima for losses in thoe War to men who were in arms against the Union, That tho apprehension of such o danger in not fanciful is sufliciently appor- ent from the fact that gonernl bills look- ing to that end wore rocontly introduced by Confedorate membera at tho last session of Congress, which only require a Confederate majority in both Houses of Congress and Tiroex in the Presidentinl chair to become tho law of the land. Ono of the nots (Honse Bill No. 2,364) directs the nllownnce of com- peusation for the use and oceupation of prop- orty by tho United States during the War, nnd another (House Bill No, fi58) proposes to Py for stores and snpplies takenor furnished for the army of the United States. Theso bills mnke no distinction a4 to the status of tho claimant during the War, authorize the reimbursement of losses suffered by the Rebels, and roquire only an aflidavit of tho loss by tho claimant, supported by tho testi- mouy of one other oitizen. Under these bills, every Robel who fought the Gov- ernment for four years may recover from it tho value of his fonces destroyed, his property occupied, his cattle, hogs, and corn taken by tho United States armies ns they advanced into the enomy's country. They nmount to a roward for rebellion and put a premium on treason, 8o monstrous a proposition, we venture to say, was never made beforo in the history of tho world, It ix puerile and ridiculous to point to the private claims introduced by Ropublican Congressmen to reimburse loyal men who suffered losses from the Confederates as an indication that the danger will not bo any greater from the Confederates, who propose to pass general laws admitting Rebol claims for losses suffered atthe hands of United States armics. Not only is the principle just tho roverso, but the money involvad s out of all comparison. Thus the Government, through tho Southern Claims Commission, las paid loyal citizens something like $1,000,000, whilo it is ostimated that the losses of the Rebels from tilo War which would be included in the bills already intro. duced would nmount to $2,500,000,000, and would more than double the present national debt. But the Confederates are not content with the indemnification of individual losses; they also desiro that all the tax ever paid by the Rebels, eithor ns States or individuals, on account of tho War shall be refunded. Thus o Confederate from Georgia introduced o bill at the lnst session (FHouse Bill No. 282) providing that the cotton tax be refunded and tho amount paid back in thirty years' 5 per cent gold-benring bondy. 'The total cotton tox, lovied botweon the years 1863 and 1808, amounted to $68,072,888, and tho thirty years' interest thercon would bo $102,- 108,670, making over 170,000,000 in all, Another bill proposes that the United Htates shall refund that por- tion of the tax of 20,000,000 lovied in 1861 for the prosccution of tha War which was paid by the Rebol States. The proportion that fell on the Northern States was about $15,000,000. Of the $5,000,000 opportioned to the Rebel Btates, only about one-hielf was ever paid (tho other half being still due), but the Confederates now proposo to make the North refund even that part of it pnid by the Icboels. In one word, the QOonfederates propose, in caso they shall gain control of the Government, tlint the North shall indemnify tho South in full for all war taxes and for all individunl losses sustained by renson of the War which they brought on nud waged ngainst tho Government. It ia not elaims for lossos suffored by loyal citizens atthe hands of the Coufederate army, but clalms for losses suffored by disloyal citizens ot the hands of the Union army, which they proposs to allow ovon to the extent of Dbankrupting the Govern- ment. They justify the proposition on the ground that tho Sonthern Statos that soceded mercly cxorcised their sovercign right of withdrawing from the ** League,” and that the Northorn soldiors were ¢ trespassers,” 05 Mr, Tuoen characterized them ot the time, in waging war upon thom and coercing them to roturn to their allegiance. THE SOUTH CAROLINA PLAN. The Charleston (8. C.) News and Courier, which is @ rod-hot TiLpeN paper, prints a connnunication with the heading : * Orange- Lurg strikes the koy-noto of political redemp- tion ; how to make tho Radical leaders un- dorstaud that the white people are in earnest.” The koy-note alluded to is con- tained in n series of resolutions ndepted by all tho TroeNClubsin Orangeburg and Barn. well Counties, and sout to all the other coun- tics in South Carolina for ndoption. 'The rysolutiona are as follows § 1. Resolved, That wo will not rent land to any Radical leader, or any member of his family, or furnish o home, or give employmont to uny such leader or any member of his family. 2, That wo will not furnish any euch leader, or any meniber of bs family, any supplics, such as provisions, farm hinplements, stock, ete., except #0 far 48 contracts for the present yeor aro cone corned, 4. That we will not purchase anything any Radl- cal leader, or any of his famlly, way offer for sule, or kel any such leader, orany member of his faml- 1y, anything whatever, 4. That tho names of sach persons who may bo consldered leaderd bu furnishod to this Clubat the carliest date, and thata list of the same be fur- niahied each member of the Club, 6. That whenever sy person or yersons who shinll bo denominated Radical leaders by a vote of this Club shalt ceuso an wuch, thevo resotutlons shall become null and vold so far as such leador or leaders, or any inember of his or their familics, aro concerned, % Theso resolutions are aimed, of course, at Northern men living in the South, _ It would bao urinecessary to take such action with ref- cronce to the negroes, 'The shot-gun, the Dowie-knife, the haltor, and the tender mer- cies of Burren's armod mob, aro reserved for them, It will not do to openly murder whito men or to intimidate thom by threats of nssassination, The ensier course is to ostra- ciso them, And for what? Becauso they propose to vote tho Ropublican ticket, In othior words, freedom of opinion, freedom of choice, the right to vote against a candidate whose prineiples they do uot approve, are to bo suppressed by ostracism, and in this man. nor the white Tildenites of South Caroling, a Republioan State, propose to wrest it from tho control of the majority. And these aro tho men who doprecato waviag the bloody shirt ! These are Judge Trumbury's couverts who have experlenced such a radi. cal change of hoart that thoy are yearning to bo reconeiled with their Northern brethren, Buppose the Ropublicans of Illinois should meot togother in their clubs and resolve not toront land to auy Democrats, or give em- ployment to them ; not to furnish them with any supplies or purchase avything of them, Low wounld Northern Democrats relish tho ostracism ? It would be pronounced ns in- famous aud villainous by all yespectable peo- plo, without regard to their political belief, But if ostracism would be infamous and vil. lainous in the North, is it any less so in the Bouth? A letter from Aiken, 8. 0., re. contly printed in the Now York Z%mes, gives tho following na the condition of the North- ern man in tho Sonth : “The Northern man who comea here to make this place his home must inevitably take one of threo conrscs, unices Lo be a Democrat: He must clther become n Democrat or a sympathizer with them, and arenl or pretended encmy to the colored man, or become the friend of the colored man and find himaclf and famity ostracised, hated, and insulted in overy concelyable way, or become noutral and ostraclsed, for the Southern Demo. crat will not allow any half wny measnres. A Northern man must eithor bo the enemy of the colored man, or accept the hatred, suspiclon, and ostracism of tho Bouthern Demacrat. 8o long ng this condition of things oxiats, it 18 usoless to talk of reconeilintion. Northern people hiave no sympathy with the persecn- tion of any man for his opinion's sake, Judge Trusnuwy to the contrary notwithstanding, and they have no sympnthy with the in- famous and villainons Houth Carolina plan, ‘Wo warn the Republicans of Indinna to bo on their guard. The bogus BSoldlers’ and Sailors’ Convention which is announced to bo held at Indianapolis on Thursdny next is on organized effort on the partof the Til- donites to disfranchiso the Republicans of that State by a general importation of bal- lot-box stuffers and ropeaters from Kentucky, Bouthern Illinois, and from Baltimore and Now York City, Arraugements have been made to take 1,600 from this city nlone, and thus they aro to be drifted into Indisuapolis by thousands. The genern!l plan of this colossal swindle of the Ropublicans of In- diana is this: ‘The expensos of theso mon to and from Indinnapolis are‘to be pnid out of tho goneral corruption fund of the TrLoen mnnagers, Agents have been buying mon for sevoral days in Chieago, They will pour into tho city, have a one or two days’ pow- wow, and then the crowd will isporse as if going homo, Instead of doing this, how- evor, the ballot-box stuffers will bo billeted in districts where tho Tildonites have con- trol of the polls, being mostly placed in strong Demooratic townships and in pre- cincts where the vote is close. For o fow days they will be furnished with work, and on eloction day thoy will bo voted. Thoy will then rotnrn to their homes, having transportation furnished, and be ready for their infamous work in November. The game is procisoly that which was played when Hexpricxs was elected, at which time, according to Judge Woorey, o Democratic outhority no one will dispute, 10,000 men wera imported into Indiann aud voted the Domocratio tickot. Being warned in time, the Republicans in that State should put forth every offort to detect and break up this infamous business ond punish the scoundrels engaged in it, Lot the ballot- box stuffars bo spotted on ‘Thursday and watched. It is stated that o Scorr started out in this campaign to elect somo sixty persoual retainers to tho noxt Congress, with whose nssistance, added to the Southorn members he can count on, he expects to got through his ‘Coxas Pacific Railway subsidy., The Democratic opponents of My, Hoxiz in the First District charge freely that ho is one of the mon “set up” by Tox Scorr for the purpose aforcsaid. "There aro some strong confirmations of the ohbarge, Certainly, neither Hoxm himself nor anybody who know him would think of his running for Congress on his own merits, and it is well known that he is a railrond and corporation schemer in full sympathy with men of tho Tox Boorr stamp. The Democrats of New York who, but a few years ago, mabbed the negroes of that city and strung them up to lump-posts, are now truckling to them to get thelr votes.” They have made o bad opening, bowever, Huntlug the whole 8tato over, they diseovered in Rochester a Democratic negro and brought him to the city to makea speech and “fix” his colored brethren. The black orator, however, put his foot In it by de- daring in bis specch that “*here the colored mien are all of a low class, have no fixed politi- cal uplnion of thefr own, and are to bo bought by the highest LIdder.,” The, result of his speech was to disgust his Democratic ecmployers and enrage his colored brethren. He fatied to “fix!? them. Is not the Tammany mob of New York in sore stralts when it bas to lmport o colored man to fufluence colored votes? Tho negroes, of tha South may e terrorlzed over and Intimidated futo voting the Democratic ticket, but tho remembrance of tho horrors of the draft-riots and the atroclties practiced upon the colored men of New York City by the inob whom HonaTio BeyyMoun ad- dressed ns his friends " {8 too recent to bofor- gotten by them.
