Brrrrvo Bowr has beon heard from sgain, this timo as an applicont for peace and pro- visions ot Fort Peck. The secrct of this ‘magnanimons willingness to be forgiven and fed is found in tho fact that S, B. Las re- contly received a sovero drubbing at tho hands of Col. Mires' command, who over- took the hostiles at Cedar Creck on tho 21st of October, and for two days fought and chased them sixty miles in the divection of Fort Peck.

There is no donbt whatever that the Rusgo-Turkish complication will bo bronght to acrisis forthwith, and that within two days ol most the question of peace or war will have beensettled. Russin, grown restive and impationt at tho delny of tho Porte in mnking answer to the proposal for n six. wocks' avmistico, and pricked on by the recent important Turkish vietories ovor the Servian forees, has instructed Gen. IaNaTIEFF to demand within forty-cight hours a decision .on the subject of the proposed armistico, aml in the event of a refasal to ac. cedo to tho proposition for an armis. tico IowaTteer is ordered to immedi. otely withdraw the Russinn Embassy from Conatantinople—a proceeding tantamoniit to 8 declarntion. This is Russia’s ultimatum, and in this position tho Czar 18 undoubtedly supported by the Powers, England alona ex- cepted. ‘Thotime of uncertainly is short, aud it is not unlikely that the readers of to- morrow's IninuNe will know the result, STARVATION AND DEATH TO LABOR. I'ho Southern States—and by this term we mean tho cotton States—annually produce an itmonse crop from the soil. The sugar, cotton, and tobacco combined sell for nonrly §000,000,000, not including the amount of other things produced and consumed ot home. To this product Toxas adds the cat- tle, and the packed beef, and hides; Ten. nessco and other States produce building stono and pig-iron. Georgin and, wa bo- licve, Alabama have entered largely into the manufacturs of cotton goods, while North Carolinn ndds tar, and resin, turpentine, and othor stores to tho general product. The labor by which this product is made is tho snme—tho negro. Whethor in the stono quarry or tho cotton fleld, the sugar planta. tion, cotton factory, or iron furmace, the only humsn labor omployed is that of the negro. Tho industrinl whites are superin. tendonts, agents, clorks, or foremen, but over 90 per cent of the product of all kinds i that of negro labor. Il is the only labor in theso States. 'Tho white race as a class in these States has nover labored, and never will Isbor ; tho white men in that region who do manual labor havo always been socially degraded, and arercgarded as “‘low” to-dny, 0s they wero beforo the War. Costo is stronger thau law, and stronger than jus. tice. Tho law of labor at the North fs ro- versed, Here, tho men who toil and pro- duce, whether on ihe farn or in the mine, shop, or in any other form of labor, consti- tate the bulk of tho people and exerciso the contralling power in politics. At the South, the man, whether ho bo whito or black, who enrns moro than ho consuwes is pronounced degraded, and 90 per cent of the mon who produco by labor aro not only prononnced degrndod, but aredenicd political privileges,— are excluded from the possession of the soil thoy onltivate,—and, though nolonger salable atnuctionnschattels, aro as dependent for the food they eat upon the small, select clasa who livo upon their labor as thoy over swero o alaves, 'Theso people, the only producers af the South, are ignored politically by the non- producing whites, Whero the whites aro in «w majority, tho nogroes submit of necessity to tho laws and to tho rulers provided for them. Where the whitea are in a minority, thoy deny the right of tho majority to gov- ern, and whon the negro attempts to exer- cise his politicnl power he is wet by the shot-gun nud tho rifle, and e acts, talks, und votes at the peril of his life, Thoro is no ponce, and no enfoty for the lives of the negroes in thoso Btales unless they refrain from voting, or vote as the white rulors di- rect, Wo invito the attention of the pro. duoers of the North to two statements on this subjoct, The first is by Mr. Braine : 1 was talkung with o Southern man the other day abont thin, and he attompted to Justify it, aud ssld It was right, and snevrod and jeered at the idea of the negro belog permitted o vote. e suld 1t was abuard, Well, [ sald to bim, ** My fricud, you live in tho South? ** Yes," he re- plled, ** Well, you brag of yonr cottan crop down there,” ‘“Yox," ho wald, **wo rulse a cotton crop of 8:300,000,000," ** And tobacco?' **Yes, we ruive 4 tobacco crop of $100,000,000." **And cotn, aud rice, and hemp, and wu- gur?’ 't Oh, yes,” Lo kahl, ‘'ihe whole thing 1a ovor §500,000,000 annually." ** Well, 1 wish you would state to me just what proportion of this groat eggreguto, this vest sum, i rulsed by the nlggera, 03 you call thewm. nnd bow much by whito men' ¢ Ob.™ hesaid, ** the pegroes ralss pretty wach all,” *¢Then,* [ eald, ** accarding to your own statemont, upon ssy fuir deal between man and man, the negro sveme tho only wan down South that 18 eatitlod to vole® %% Nuzzle not the x that treadoth out the corn,® 'Tlat's Beripture— and good vunse, 100, I merely rumarked hnt it waa Scripture for the henefit of wome Democrats in the Louse, [Luoghter,] But It's good sense, And this very day aud bour, although tha negroes oro in the minorlty in the Fonth, constituting somewhat more than one-third, but not oue-half, of the peo- yle, they are thoso who produce more than B0 per cunt of all that bs produced there, They areat ‘worlkt, hoclog corn and ralsing cotton, whila theso en, who ore wecking o doprive thom of their Thekt 1o vote, ore st the corner grocerivs, dilnking Lad whisky and damaing the Yaukees, Tho other illustration is taken from o spoech by Col, Enwanvs, ono of the leading luwyors and u man of lundod property in Souath Caroling, in which ho thns addressed the colored poopls of that State: You sre told that wa ate not in earnest about our refurl to reat our lands to Republicans who vote ugaluss us; but et 1oe Wil you now, we were naver mvre dotermined Inany purpose of ouz lves than fntlis, Weure derpesutely fu earnest, Wo bave tuken and wubscribed to a solewn oath before Gud to rent noland to any one who votes the Jte- publican ticket ot the next cluction; to omploy wo peraon as laborer, carpenter, blackemith, or any- thing slae, who dovs not voto with ug; to make no advauces of food or permit any vne to occupy our houses or prewisca who votes the Itadical ticket sgain, We know whut we uro talking about.

'l'hey are thoe carpenters, mnsows, blacksmiths, wheelwrights, pantors; and ordinary lahor- ers, and tho refusal to give employment to any moechanic, laborer, or farm haml menns to reduce these people to n state of destitu- tion, 'Tho chivalrous gontlemen who have kept theso colored people in the stolid igno- ranco of slavery now object to the exerciso of political rights by their victims becanse of this very enforced ignorance. Theso ne- groes, thongh overwhelmingly in the major- ity, own not n foot of tho lnud, Tho mARR thoy can hope for is lo have nsmaell tract, and, after cultivating it, pay one-half the crop for the rent; or thoy mny have a chance of working land on shares, tho owner furnishing the land, and the uegroes doiug the labor for half tho crop, the owner advancing the food nt oxtravagant prices, the Inborer Daving ot the end of Dhis twelve months' work, at tho most, €0 and the food Lo lns enten. In the cities and towns the mecbanies and thelr hielpers ave negroes, sometimes working on their own account, snd sometimes for n white ‘*boss.” Now comes the anthorized declnration that the white or employing and land-owning class have vowed by “ a solemn oath before God " Lo rent no Iand to any nogro who shall vote the Republican ticket at the next eleetion; to hire no laborer who shail voto tho Republican ticket; to hire no mechanic or workman in any capacity who shall voto the Republican tickot; that no ad. vances of food shall be made to auy person working on share coutracts; that no negro voting the Republican tickot shall occupy a lut, or eabin, or house, in which to live with his family. Here, then, we have the minority, which is at the same Lime the exclusive owaer of tho Innd, bound by “n solemn oath beforo God that every man who shall vote the Repub- lican tickot next week shall bo evicted from whatever bnbitation Lo ocenpies, and shall be denied the means of procuring food, and shall be denied food itself, and thus, with his family, shall be reduced to starvation and denth. Compnred with this wholesale and infamons proscription for mero opinion’s snke, the shot-gun and the rifle aro lumane instrumonts of oppression ; and yet thesovery people who are thus brought to tha alterns- tive of starvation or voting agninst {hoir con- victions nra the only laborers and mechanics in the State. Thoy produco by their labor overy pound of cotton and of rice, nll the food, and all the bread and meat, and do all tho mechanical work dono in the State. They aro the only men who produce any- thing lo eat, wear, or to sell, and, thongh they aro largely in the majority, they must voto the Democratio ticket, or, with their families, starvo, We subuit this barbarity, this extromo cruelty, thin wholesale proscription of the wholo Inboring and industrial population of o State, to the consideration of the free peo- ple of the North, where the only reputablo cltizens are thoso who carn the Lread they ent, and where no class is recognized that clnims an oxemption from Inbor and the right to govern thoso who do as slaves, This South Carolina onth is an alion among Amcrican institutions. It is a crime against natiopal liberty. It is barbarous and in- famous, and repulsive to all the instinets of freo peoplo. 'This *“ oath before God” to re- duco every man who votes tho Republican tickot to starvation is & davice to eleot Tyr. DeN, to coerco the voto of South Carolina for the candidate of Tammany Ifnll, and shonld be robuked by every man in the North. . NEW YORK. 1t is now believed that thero will be n roa- sonably fair and honest clection in the Cities of New York snd Brooklyn, aud'this belief inspires the Republicans with strong faith that they are going to carty the State by o handsomo majority. The registration in Now York ig completed, and foots up 183,- 000 in vound nnmbers, Tho Tammany leaders espress griovous disappointmont, ns thoy hind calenlated on a registration of not loss than 200,000 names, of which, nccord. ing to precedent, sbout 180,000 would be polled, and out of that vote Tammany ex- pected that TitpEN would have 63,000 to 70,000 mojority, Past cxperience shows that nover more thansbout 90 per cont of thetotal registration is cast in the shape of votes, Tho strong probobility is that the vote enst in Now York next Tuesday will not exceed 165,000, Of this numboer, the Repub- licans claim 66,000 at the very lowest, which would leavo 100,000 for T'mpey, giving him 45,000 majority, Four years ago tho Demo- cmatie majority was only 21,000, but that wes a fuvorablo year for the Ropublicans, T~ vy carried the city in the *tidal-wavo " year of 1874 by 42,528 ; but last fall, on an oqual. ly beavy vols, the Democratic majority wos cut down to 80,677, The Now York I'rdune is confident that 'Frroex will not get to ox. ceed 35,000 majority in the city, Brooklyn will hardly odd moro than 6,000, but call it 8,000, making, with Now York, 43,000 mn- jority. In the residuo of the State tho Ie. pnblicans ary calenlating on fully 60,000 ma- jority; but rednce it to 50,000, and they can win oven if Now York City gives 6,000 moro than tho cstimates in Republican cireles, Seymoun only carried Now York in 1868 by 10,000, and to do this 1¢ way necessary for Tipey and Tammany to stuff the ballot- Loxes in Lho city sufficlontly to give him 00,65} majority ! Brooklyn also contributed ovor 12,000, balf of which was bogus, The Republicans in the rugal districts, belloving thero will be a fair election in the dty, are putting forth tremendous offorts to roll up their former majorities, nnd the opinion pro. vails that thoy will do it, . Tho barometer of tho pool.rooms, where tho sharp.witted sporting fraternity asserie Llo to wnko their fortunos, show n deel 'l foith in 1IAves' star—pools selling ab K100 for Haves to $70 for Tmnen. A fortmght ago it was all thoother way. ‘The unocerstul efforts to arrest aud prevent frandulent rog. isttion hag had much to do with this chango that hing como over the apixit of the dreams of tho men who thus back their opinlons with tuecir monoy, The New York Tribune, in an articlo honded “ A Conspirnoy Defeated,” remarks: ‘Fhiero has been o percoptible Inczeaso 1n the ac- tivity of the canvase on tho part of the Republican Jeadera Lere; and the subordinates in every dis- trict haye gone fnto the actlve work of the hour with renewed encrgy aclsing from indignation at the exposure of Democratic fnfamy, Thousands of Bopublicans who have herutofove frusted ta the Loneaty of [uspectors and clerks of reglstration have persounlly examined the lats, and many in. stauces of fraud have inthis woy heen brought to the atlontion of the Chlef Supervisor of Klections, Additiops! ald and strength has been brought to Mr. DaveNvons by the publication of theso facts, The last Democratic House reduced all it dared the appropriationy for securlug honest clections; the uccessary toney hus been subscribed from othier sources, and needed men have volunteered to do duty on election day us Sopervivors.

At thia electlon, for the first time in many yenrs, the Pollee Commlezloners will be an the ¥lde of peace and order, and the pulice force nnder thelr direction will supplement the United States Suporvisora in securing a falr clection by arresting and detalning repeaters. We have not hat, since 18068 to the prerent Board, a Folice Com- nalasion that was not lu the intereat of Tammany Halt—cven those hieaded by pretended Republleans ~and which dld not cheat for it. THE HOXIEFRAUDS.-HOW TO MEET THEM. ‘T'here i8 no longer the slightest doubt of the purposa of the oxie crowid to carry the First Congressional District by fraud. The fact is not denied by auy Democrats, and is openly bonsted of by those who are in tho Ring. A roputnble gentlomnn of this city Is reported ns having heard Ifoxie himself, on a ralirond Lrain at the East, proclaiming that ho was a onndidate for Congress, that voles wore for ralo this yenr, and that he was pre- pored to buy them ; and further, it is said that Hoxir ontdred into the detnils of somo nrrnugenments he had alrendy mado to that ond. Tho Chicngo 7¥mes, notwithstanding its devotion to Titpex and its ardent dusire for the succeas of tho Democratic party, thus denounces the Tloxix scheme : In the First Distrlct, —the disrepntable haunts of the city, —recking with lawless men and abandoned svomen, a tiob rushed Into 8 eo-called conventlon and selected an iiterate nobody with a great store of caslly and dublously acquired money, and thrust Dilm upan the peopla an a *retorm vandidate* for Congress. With Hoxin's estimate of the party to sehich ho 18 now altached he i perhaps justified (n Inging hia way to Congrese, but the decent voters shoutd not be deluded as to the facts in the case, Avote for hifm, should he lave the cffrontery to stand until electton, iaa vote for thie larger Heense of all the debauchery known in the hauntsof crime. When tho sinms were strlpped of thelr tenantry to swell bin following, then were promises a8 well as bribes glven. The sharks who play upon publle Innocence and Ingecurity were never lured fnto such vigorous support of tho railroad candidate through mere fellow-fecling, though it 18 not unlikely that tho clnims of nssociation went alongway., The payment of Iloxiz's money to the elumgaltions of the lowest degree fs not a mat- terof repert; itis a waiterof boast by the reclp- feats themselves, The night Leforo the so-called Conventlon a half-dozen tipsy strlkers made known with loud boasts that they had the money to pnsh their ¢*pal" through in aplto of **all bell," But tho 7%mes goes even further than this. It is not contont with exposing the Hoxie desigus, but calls upon all roputable Demo- crats, upon every man- who is earnestin o desire for * reform,” to hold the Democratic party of this county, district, and State ro- sponsible for the ITox1 seandal, and to vote ogainst the whole ticket. It-saya: ‘Tho cliatacter, condltion, and mothods of Hoxis are thoroughly desplcable, 1le hasn't tho educa- tlon, manners, acquaintanco with men or business to renider hfm 0t for tho firet requisite of & Con- greesman; but, I he were a Prrr, the way his nom. inatfoneame sbout should forfelt to him thedecent support of tho distrlet. Not enly that, but decent prople should resent the responaibllity of the wholo party wachinesy in the distriet, city, and State. 3t the District Commlttee, the City Committee, and the State Commitico tolerate im and make no sign, no cltizon {a doing 118 duty who votes a Dem- ocratle tickot the length and breadth of the State of Iillnvle, 1f the party supporting TrLoex In this 8tate secks to take advantugu of the distressed peoplo by runuing In wnch uaworthy men, under' the strang yearning for reform, the simple duty of this district and the entire State to vote aa far from them o 1t I5 possible. By this method, and thls method alone, can we hopo for reform. Now tha preparations for elocting Hoxte by cormpting the ballat-box can only be de- fented Ly tho united opposition of all ro. spectable and law-abiding citizeng on the singlo ground of deoency, without respect to party, sud by the most vigilant snpervision of thoso polling-places where tho bulk of the frauds are to be porpetrated. In regard to the fiest clement, DuPage County seems to bo alive to the disgraco and villainy of the Hosxte programme, and it is reported that not only will thero be a mach larger stright Ttepublican vote thero than over before, but that large nwnbers of the Democrats will vote ngninst Hoxie as o protest ngainst tho man and against tho means ho is using to secure hig election. Tho roputable Domocrata of tho six wards in this city included in the Fivat District ought, without exception, to follow the same plan, But oven tha solid vote of tho dacent citizens in the district will not pravail against Hoxie if the contem- plated frauds ave to bo permitted. Tho Re- publican Cunpaign Committee ought to make tho most thorough arrangoments for * spot- ting” the repeaters and Hoxie's importod voters, At overy poll whero tho frawls aro likely to be attompted, the regular Supervisor should be supported by a posse of conrngeous meu who will not permit him to be over- ridden und put down by the mob of desper- adoes who will gather in Hoxre's intorest, At certain voting prociucts in Lake and Hyde Park Townships, in tho Fifth and Sixth Wards, and notably in South Chicsgo and along tho Indinnn line, the Campaign Com- mitteos ghould supply posses of suficlont numeorieal strength and moral courage to overnwo tho lmported voters and provent the consummation of the frudulent registration, 1If tho frauds ean bo kept down to any res- sonable extout, there is no question about Mr. Avorigr's olection, for ho will receive tho united Republican vote of the district and a large number of votes from Demo- cratio merchants and business mon who can- not nud will not stultify themselves by vot- ing for n man like Hoxmz; but, if the Hoxie frauds bo not Leld in cheel, it mattors not how mauy honest votes thero may be for Asvpnton, Hoxie will got o majority in the returng, and this city and the First District will bo dishonored boyond palliation or ro- demption, Lot the Cumpaign Committes sea to it Itis to be rogrotted that Gov. JlzNpnicEs did not find time in his speech at Farwell Iall to explain n little about that Morris mine business. Itisa matter that needs's deal of explanation. Itis ome, too, which, if Gov. Henonicks be a3 Lo represents,— bursting with desire to roform something,— affords him an opportunity to make s begin- ning by reforming away altogother a mining- olaim stenl which hiy influonce upholds. Morris Ravine is situated in Butler County, Californin, in the Valloy of the Feather River, At ono time it was ono of tha richest mining districts in the Btate. Gradually the central channel of the oxtinet strenm in the bed of which tho gold was found was worked out, Buat there remained sbrips on each glde, rich in pay dirt, which for the past fiftoen years havo boen worked by poor miners, who succeeded in earning small pay for thomselves, Al that was needed to mako the diggings imwensely profitable was that the requisito capital bo embarked in the enterprise to provido a sufficlent supply of wator for mining operatious, That the Ienppoxs Mining Cownpany, with Gov, Henprioss as its Presidont and logal adviser, was organized to do. Tho Company began in 1879, not by buying out the miners hold- ing claims, but by & land-grab, Under cover of purchase of a fow claims, and by dummy loentions, the Hrxnniens Company filed appliention for a United Htates patent for 1,220 acres in Morris Ravine, including many of the best paying clnims, which tho Company did not pretend to have purchased. The miners finnlly attempted n defense against the grab, nand the United States Land Agent at Marysville, Cal, ruled agninst the applieation on the ground thnt it was o frand on ita face, The Company appealed to tho Commissioner of the Goneral Land Office, and the brief betore the Commissloner wns mada by Gov, Hex. prrers. Tho nppifention sat up the atrocions falso olnim that the Company bad been in possession Bfteen yenrs, and that thero wera no ndverso claimants. . Upon thoso falsa allegntions, through Hexpnicxs’ influenco as connsel, this fraudulent claim lins boen kept alive, agninst the bona fide mining.clnim ownors. Wbat most reflects upon Gov. 3expnics in the matter is, that ho per. sonnlly inspected the Morris Ravine diggings before the Company bearing his name was organized, nud ho conld not have been ignorant of the ndverse-clafms of the minors working thore. Yo! it wns he who orgnu. ized tho Company afterward, and it hins been solely through his influence and exertions that the Zraudnlent application of the Com- pony was not long since rejected. Lat Gov. Ilexpnicka try his hand at roform in aban. doning the fraudulent clains of the Iiey- pnicks Mining Company. THOSE SOUTHERN CLAIMS, The Chicago Z%mes and other Bourbon organs aro disposod to bloviate considerably over the fact that, sinca the appenarauce of Tioen's hair-splitting pronunciamento in the Southorn-claims business, the - United Btates Sonntors sud State oflicers of Ken- tucky and 'Tennessco have signed docu- ments certifying thelr approval of ‘the Trr- peN letter,—in othor words, theso cortifientes disavow any intention to forco claims upon Congress for losses ** incurred ™ during tho War, Tho disavowals ara worth just about tho value of the paper upon which thoy are written, ‘Tho meaning of such disavowals is very obvious. They are merely temporary pontoons to bridge over tho clection, good for uso until noxt Tuesday. 'They may gervo to amuse voters, to throw dast in the cyes of the people, but they bind no ono after cleo tion. 'They aroe good only until they obtain control of the Government, and cftor thattho deluge. Whon tho devil was sicle tho devil o monk would be, when the devil got well, the dovil n monk was he. Just now theso Southern Congressmen are playing the role of the sick devil. 'They are alarmod lest TroeNy bo beaten, aud in their reck- less despair they arvo wnot disposod to let n little wolid Southern lying stand botween them aund victory, The idea thnt these Southern Congressmen aro unwiil iug thnt their Rebel conatituonts shonld ba mado geod in the losses fncurred by them in rosisting the Union srmy is simply prepos- tcrous. To assume such a theory as true is trifling with the ordinary intolligence of men., There is not a person in the United States who can multiply two by two but knows that every one who “*suffered ” losses in tho South wants payment, and will bo re- imbursed to tho uttermost farthing in caso tho Democrntio party is successful. If Mr, Tpey bad ot kunown that the South was ipapired by a motive of this kind he nover would have issued that desperate bullotin, with its hair-splitting distinction, throaten. ing to veto all claims for damages voluntarily “ineurred,” but making no mention of dam. ages involuntarily “*suffered.” It is an nd- mirsion that Mr. TrupEN's party, in that part of tho Union that controls the Dowocratio party, haa theso claims all arranged, and is ready to prosent thom, clse there would have been no necessity of* writing the lotter, If ho had really thought these claims would never Lo presonted, there was no need for him to say anything. Why did not Gov. Haves jssno a bulletin unnouneing that ho would voto theso claims? Simply be. cnuso tho wholo world knows that the Re- publican party and its President would resist tho paymont of these claims. There was no noed for Gov. Haves to issuo a cunningly- worded documont saying ono thing and meaning onother. Ilis position snd that of tho Ropublican party are too well known to need defining. All thoe lotters that Mr, Trr- DEN can write, and all the certificates that Bouthorn Congressmen can sign, will not dispel the well-grounded suspicion, amonnt- ing to absoluto conviction, that the constitu. ents of theso Congressmon will prescnt thelr claims in caso of a Democratio victory, and expect thom to bo paid, and it is equally eer- tain, in case of a Repnblican victory, that it the ox-Rebels have tho ussurance to send in o bill for losses eithor *suffered” or *“in- curred,” they will be promptly und sammari- ly rojectod. Two thousand millions of dollars in claims are not to be mnffed out bya proclamation ismed n few dayabefore olection or by certificates good until next ‘Lucsday. Thoy can only be mjuelched by tho stern and dotermined rosistanco of the loyal people of tho United States. It can only be done by raying first and last: Theso claims shall not be paid. Cortiflicates may bo filed mountan high, but they will not iuspire the Northorn people with any fecling of sccurity, "They know only too well that TiLpexn and his cor- rupt ‘Pammany gang will not have been six months in tho White House before they will be manipulated with such success by the Bolid Bouth that these claims will bo paid, ‘The only rolisble secarity sgainst such an outrnge ia the election of n Presidont whose views are 50 unmistakablo and positive that thoy do not need dofining, Lnst Batordny Milwaukeo was visited by Gov. Henowcrs, Perny M., Surrn, and the banker CooLvavan. ‘The former dalivered o specch; the othors, it is belioved, loft be. hind them argumonts which mado a strongor impression on the minds of the leaders of the Milwaukee Democracy than those offerod by Oily Gammon. At all events, since their doparture there has sprung up an amazing and nuprecedented activity among the ward bummers and tho partisan blowers and strikers for * TiLvey and Roform.” The be. lief in Ropublican circles is that Bamoer has sont to tho hungry saiuts, by the bunds of his servanis aforosaid, a little furetaste of “reform” g8 ho understands it, and of the gort thoy most desire and sppreciate. Cer- tain it is that scores of {mpocunious loafers ud scalawags about the streels of Milwaukes are suddenly in funds, nnd are vociferating in chorng for % reforn ™ and the man that furnished it. A now revival of *‘reform” has broken out since last Baturday night, and the disciples of S8hammy are going up oud down with gerip in their purses. ‘They are proclaiming all over town, and in the ea- loons, that Wisconsin is now sure for TiLpeN and reformm! Some of the Republicans have becowe alarmed at this bummer outbreak and simulated confldenco on the part of the recipionts of TiLoen's barl; but all thoy have todo to checkmato it is to ‘incroase their own vigilance aud activity, We Lave nevor donbted for n moment ihat Wisconsin would roll up 8,000 to 10,000 majority for Tiaves and War The peaple have not turned out in theix strength at any election in Wisconsin sinca 1804, when there was 1olled 193,641 votes, Last fall only 169,160 votes were cast, Next Tuesday the voto will not be less thon 250,000, TiLpex's reform. moncy may purchaso $he votes of n fow corrupt persons in the purlieus of Milwankee, ut lie bas not enrrency enough to buy the clectornl vote of tho Stat —— THE REBEL, ARCHIVES, Thera wrs one point in My, BLAINE'S re- cent speech in Chicago which deserves par- ticularly to Lo kept in mind. We menn his reference Lo the Rebel archives now in keep- ingof tho Uovernment at Washington. In deseribing the sudden increase of loyal mer. at tho South, who' professed to havs stood fnithful to tho Union all through the War, just ns soon as thers was o movement to recompense loyal men for tho supplies with which they had furnished the United Btates army, and for which they hnd reccived no pay, Mr. Braine continued: Well, just about that time, as good luck or the Providenco of God wanld have ft, we came Into posscasion of the Rebol archives, We bought for the mum of 875,000 thearchives of the Itebel Government from Gen, Jonx P, Prerrrr, and these archives contain the entiro muster-roll of the Confederacy, nnd the militis of the States, and ofl the civil ficers of tho Confederacy and of the Rebel States. In short, it presented u perfect photograph of dlaloyalty throughout the Confedor ney. We got those, and put them (nto a fire-proof bullding in Washington, put them In charge of & competent man, gave him a number of clerks, and he went to work to analyze, Index, and alphabet- ize wo that wo michi bave u perfect recs ord of the whole Soitthern country an the ques- tlona of loyalty, and pretty soon, when these men began to put in thelr claims before the Southern Commission, ¢Jaiming to be loyal, we- would get the evidence, or the Court wonld get the evidenco, from this Commission that had eharge of the are chiven, and when Joxrs, of North Carolina, for Instance, put in bisclabn and pretended to bea toyal man, he was at once confronted with the fuct, **Wihy, Joxes, yon must be a most prodiglous ar, because here {8 your name as Captain in the ‘Pwenty-third North Carolina Regiment, andl you are pretending to bo loyul.® And up would come another man witha claim, saymg, **I oever bore armaagainst tho United States.” **That Is true, my friend, but you were Judge In the Sixth Judical District of Georgla, aud you took the vath to aup. portthe Canfederacy, anid yourdectslone were among. the meanest and worst of the whole Contederncy, and you will pleaso stand aside, And so we had nn mdox to every mon that came forward; and those arclifver proved to bon perfectcheckon what might have been a most dangerous rald upon the ‘Treasury of the United States throngh the Southern - Claims Commision, It can easily be understood by overybody how valuable, almost indispensable, such a record has beon in keoping off tho formef Rabels who bave sought to raid tho National Treasury., ‘Thero was a great outery ot the time the archives wero purchased. The Democrats in Congress prononnced the transaction n waste of money, Qen. Prcrerr whs ostracized at tho South for making the sale. It was forescon that tho menus had been obtained for defeating tho disloyal claimants, Now, at thelastseasion of Congreus, when the Democrats wero in tho majority in one Houso for the first time sinco tho pur- chase of theso archives, they at once refused to appropriato tho small sum of $,000 for their further arrangoment and safo keeping, and it was only after the most stubborn fight on the part of the Republicans and & por- sistent refusnl to conour in cortain appro- printions tho Democrats wanted, that the Inttor flunlly consented to allow the sum necessary, Put the Confederates in complote power, aud thoy will never giva snother appropriation for this pur- pose. The Ttebol archives will be locked up in some old corner and left to vot or burn ; they will never again be consulted to prove the dislayalty of claimnuts for War losses, Tho loynlty of no man can titen be contest. ed who is willing to'certify to his own loyal- ty. 'T'ho rule will be adoped which was sug. geated at the last sossion in the bill reported by Mr. Rioper, of Tonnessee, providing for tho payment to ** all citizens,” leaving loyal ty altogether ont of account, nnd requiring only the atlidavit of tho claimant, supported by tho testimony of a single relative, friend, or participant in the profits, Mr. Lrupew, if clected President, will not be debarred from approving any allowanco to such a claimant, beenuse it will bo in ecompliance with tho law to be ndopited by his Congress, and be. enuso every such clnimant will set up per- fect loyalty, and there will be no means for disputing his pretonsions, The Republicans have beon remiss in not availing themsolves of tho process of photo- lithogruphy for reproducing those srchives and placing copies thercof in the hnnds of trustworthy persons. If ‘Tinoen shall be eleoted President, no time must boe lost in taking this procantion, If thero is no fund that con bo lawfully used for the purpose, then tho necessary money should be sub. seribed by oapitalists andmerchants who have an iuterest in the nationn! eredit.and the snfe-keepinyg of the Government monoys. The expenditure of u few thousand Jdollars, which will onable the Republican members of Congress ot any time to trace the disloy. alty of the mass of tho Southern clafmants who will present themselvos assoon a3 the Prupes regimo shall bo established, may save ag many millions to the people, Or, it this enunot bo done (and the saviug will be im. possible if the Democrats blot out all dis. tinotions on necount of loyalty or disloyalty during the War), thon tho copies of these orchives will at loast enuble the Republicans to show to the peopls of the country the extent of tho Rubel raid on the Vressury, sud fts early discovery mny bring them to their senges in time to uvert a part of thy disnster, These wrchives should be plioto- lithographed without dolay, it tho result of noxt ‘Tucsday's alection should place TsLuex in the White IHouse sud a Confedernle tna.
