V. ‘:Qn“]"rl‘sfl‘ MONDAY, NOVEMBER G, 1876, At tho Now York Gold Exchange on Sat. urday greenbncks ranged at 91@914 cents, Prosident GranT and his Cabinet have nc. copted the invitation of the Centennial Com. mission to formnally close the grest Exhibi- tion next Fridny. In the ovent of s peacenble clecun’n in Louisiana the lending Republicans in Fthat State have no doubt that it will be carried for Havea by from 10,000 to 15,000 majority, and are equally cortain of & gain of two Re- publican Congressmen, It s gratifying to Imow that the prospeots are excellent for a peaceable clection and a fair vote. Wo bave beon furnished with a copy of o circular printed in the German langunga just issucd by Canter H. Hanrisown, Democratio candidate for Congress in the Becond Dis- trict, in which ho nppeala for German votes on the ground that his family has spent sev- ernl years in Germany, and that his youngest children * spenk only German !" Col. Davis, the Republican candidnte, is spoken of as * a high-nosed Yankeo and mucker,” who is Colonel of the First Regiment, and * thero- foro " shounld bo voted agmmnat by the Ger- mang. Thero is not a German of intelligence in tho Second District who should not feel insulted at the implication that his vote is to be gained by such an appeal in behalf of this blatant humbug, and who will not prefer to be representod in Congress by a ** high- noged" Yankee rather than an inflated don- Xey. " The secret of unuzual interest shown by the Chicaggo Timesin the election of Fanne. wonta and the defeat of Larmnor in the Fourth District is ‘easily explainod whon it is romembered that My, Larmnor was the leading counsel for the plaintiff in the celo- brated Eanvy libel suit, and that it was largely through his ability and zeal in con- ducting the suit that o vordict for 826,000 damnges was rendered ngsinst the Ttmes. "Tho editor of that paper has never forgiven Mr. Lazanor for the energy and skill ho dis played in pushing *‘the old man" to the wall on account of that infamous slander, ond ho is “gotting even " now by trying to beat Latunor for Congress. We do not be- liove the Republicans of the Fourth Distriot will assist the oditor of the Zimes in this spiteful endeavor by throwing away their votes on Hunrur, aud thereby contributing to the elaction of tho renegade Republican FanNswontn, It is worthy of note, in conncotion with the present anxiety nnd uncortainty regard- ing tho payment of over two thousand mill. jons of Southern claims, that every voto ogninst the Fourteenth Amendment when that proposition was acted upon in Con- gress was o Domocratis voto, and that cvery vote for it was o Republican vote, In tho Senate, whero the voto wus taken Jung 8, 186, there were 11 nnys, all Democrats, and Henpaicrs, of Indiana, was onsonhauumhnr; in the Honse thore were 82 nays, all Demo- crats, Tho Iourtconth Amondment guaran. tecs forever the validity of the United States debt, and prohibits forevor tho payment of the Confederate debt and claims for tho loss or emancipation of slaves, and yet every Democrat in Congress voted against it, and every Republican voted for it, If, as js gen- crally belioved, and as TinoeN admitted in Lis reoent letter, the quostion of Southern claims is to bo disposed of under the next Admiuistration, which of tho. two parties will the Awmerican people intrust with its settlement ? ‘Llie condition of AMr. TiLpex's health, and ita-benring upon his possible clection to the Presidency, iun matter which deeply con- corns everybody whointends voting the Dem- ocratie ticket. It is due to the Democracy that tho truth should bo known, and that they should bLe fully udvised asto the prob- obility that the mun they vote for will, it electod, live to complote the Presidential tenm. Itis woll known to thosewho see Mr, TrLozx overy day that Lo is far from being even in tho state of henlth that men at his advanced ago usually enjoy; that be is suf- fering from o dangerous malgdy that ia, practically incurablo ot his timg,of life, and that Lus ulrendy preyed upon his systom ta su slanning extent, Mo fsn pallid, shape tered, brokeu-down old mau, whoss chances are wwall indeed for the four years of vigor vitality that are indispeusable in the Priuident of the United States, According reliablo informatiou, it is not at all un. kely that the election of Tinoxx would ‘make Hxwpuicxs President, T—— ‘Lhie Chicago produce markets were rather quiet Baturday and steadier, oxcept in wheat. 3Meus pork closed steady, ot §15.40@ 1646 for November snd $15.82§@15.35 seller the year.

Ane Hewrrr, Chairman of the National Democratio Committee, has been made the viotim of alittle joke, 'The extreme nerv- ousness and alarm of the TinpeN mansgers in Now York on tho subject of Tween's ro- turn, andtho fears ontertained concerning the rovelations he might make, are woll known, and o mischiovons IHavzsman started the story that Tweep had been taken from tho Franklin, placed on board a United States cutier, and secrotly brought to Ludlow stract jall, where ho was at that timo engaged in preparing an astounding narrative of Tammany oporations under Tween, TILDEY, Horruan, InoErsoLy, & Co. Of conrse tho story was carried to Democratic headquar. ters, aud forthwith Hewrrr, who had ample reason to beliove it might bo true, prepared and telegraphed nll over tho country an **address " by the Democratio National Com- mittes, donoucing as s Republienn con- spiracy and fraud thes fortheoming dis- closares by Twrep, and, cautioning Demo- crats ngainst being decéived by this inven. tion of tho enemy. The only pity is that Hewirr had his scars all for nothing, and that TweED hiss not **squealed” on his old pal Sax TiLDEN. Tho Republicans cannot afford to losoa single member of the State Senate or House, On account of the disgraceful alliance in many of the country districts betweon tho Greenbockers and tho Tinpex bullionists, tho political comploxion of the next Legisla- ture will in all probability be very close, A singlo member saved or lost may lose or gain o United States Senator. It Is very cortain that if the Trupex * Reformers " got control of tho Genoral Assembly they will rapeal the State Registry law, and turn over the eloctions in Chicago and the othor cities to the Democratic repeaters and ballot-box stuffers. People have not yot forgotten the nefnrious performances of the Dave TmonN. ToN, Mixe Evans, and Ep Parnuies crowd, who stole the South Town election last spring. In tho Second Seuatorial Dis- trict two Republicans aro being run,—Basn and Nevsow, Serious charges reflecting on his commercial honeaty and business char. soter having been preferred against Mr. Basn by mombers of the Board of Trade, o revolt among Ropublicans was the conse- quenco, and snother candidato has been brought out by s largo body of loading busi- ness men and bankers. As the case now stands, thousands of Republicans intend to vote for Munaz NewsoN. The party seoms to bo split pretty nearly through the middla for Nevsow and Basm, and this will inevitably result in the clection of the Democratic can- didate, Apams. What i3 to be done about it, and thero is not much time left for con- sideration? The friends of Murnr Nersoy seom resolutely dotermined to stick to him solong s the other man remains on the trnck, and thus matters are at a dead-lock, 1t both would voluntarily withdraw and lot tho Committes select a compromise candi. date for Benator, the district conld be saved ; bat there ia little prospect of anything be- ing done, and Ropublicans will have to choose between Mumry Nersox and D, N, Basn, and take their chances of losing that splendid Republican district, e THE COST OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. In his Wall street speech, on Saturday last, Becrotary Monnivy stated that the ontire cost of the Governmentof the United States, sinco 1789, had beon nbout $15,000,000,000, and of this sum $11,000,000,000 had been expended during the Inst sixteen years, That was the cost to the country of the * Solid South,"— of Mr. Tuopen's friends and supportors. During the long period from 1789 to 1861 the Government had cost in monoy less than 2,000,000,000; but in 1861 the Democratio party,under the logal opinion of 8ax TiLozy, bad taken up arms to assert the doctrine that tho United States were not & nation and that each Btate was soveroign, aud at liberty to soap the merely conventional tie that bound it to the Union, That war by tho Domocratic party to main- tain tho right of any Btale to dissolve thoe Union bod cost the Governmont eloven billions ($11,000,000,000) during the lust sixteon years. It had plunged the country into debt, aud had necessitated n taxation which would survive the prescut century, Not content with this cost of $11,000, 000,000, the same Democratic party in six- teen States was now clamoring for the elec- tion of TrLoxN, that through his election the people of theso sixteen States sholl be paid two billions and a half (:32,500,000,000) more from the National Tronsury, ‘The people of the North bave for sixteen years been paying the most oppressive taxes in order to pay the interest on tho debt and 1o reduce the principal ; now the same party that forced the country into that debt de- mand that those who waged war npon the Union bo paid $2,600,000,000 to compensate them for theirlosses in their own rebellion, Having forced tho country into the enor. mousoxpendituroof eloven billiona (311,000, 000,000) insixteen years, they now demand, as bounty for bearlug arms agaiust the Gov- croment, to Le paid two aud a half billious ($2,500,000,000), They ara laboring for Toex's election to secura this enormous bounty, Failing to get this, they proposs if Tiv. pEx be elacted to withdraw from the Union, taunting the country with: “You elected TruoeN, who denies the existence of a Na. tional Government, and who denies the power of any Government to compel a State to re- main in the Union, or to use force in any way against o State or ita people, You will not pay us, aud TrLoeN will not permit any war upon,up ; therefomewe will reorganizo our Confoderacy, re-establish our property in slaves, aud let tho North run ita own Govera. ment and pay its own dobts.” Ihis same Democratic party in sixteen Btates is seeking to eleot Tupex that it may demand through Lim the payment of §2,500,~ 000,000 to cover the losses of those engaged in the Rebellion, or leave tho Union under Tioen'a Presidentlal protection, leaving ‘I'1Logx in the meantime to propose to tho North that it is cheaper to pay these claima than to dissolve the Union or prosecuts an. other war, . ‘These Domocrats who have cost the coun. try in the last sixteen yeurs $§11,000,000,000, aod who now demand $2,5600,000,000 for clulms, know that TrLpes will prosccute no war to enforco tho nationul authority, nor permit one to be prosucuted during his term, and thoy kuow that if Hayes be elooted he will meet secesuion precively as it was met in 1801; honce, they want TrLox, who, if LHE UHICAGL ho canuot ges dhem their money, will allow them to secedo, ro.establish their Confed- ‘eraay, and re-onalave the black laboring pop- ulation, The election of Tipey menns a renowal of the War, and a ronewal of the War with TruoEN as President, defonding seces- slon and the movereignty of the soceding States. 1a not the expenditnre of $11,000,. 000,000 during the last sistcen years suffi. ciont, that wo must now,by elocting ‘T1LpEN, Invite secession ngmim, with another war, costing even more than the War of 18617 Is {hero any mon at the North propared fo voto for nuotuer war? 1f 8o, he can vote for TiLoen, ‘There is nothing so sensitive as public credit. The possibility of a change in the adninistration of nationnl financesis enongh 1o mnko the market uncertain, aud any dan- gerto tho peaco of the country s sure to affcct the public credit. The pos. sibility of the election of ‘Tiupzy has attracted the attention of the finnnclal markots of the world, causing n suspension of new dealings in United States securities. The financial world looks upon tho eleotion not from a party view, but purely from a business standpoint, It re- gords T1LbEN'S election s n menace to tho peaco of the country, as full of peril to the untional credit, as certain to lead to tho pay- ment of these Rtebel claims, or o secession of twelve or more States. The financial mar- kets do not deal in cvedits thus imperiled, snd therefore, until Tiupen's election or de- feat be determined, American credit must stand inactive, and prepared to rise or fall by the result of tho election. TO THE BUSINESS MEN OF CHIOAGO. It is of paramount importance that tha merchants and business meon of Chicago should give to-morrow to the election; that they should close their places of business oud go to the polls and work; that they should allow their employes to do the samo; in fine, that they should give one day to their country, If they will do this, victory for the Republican ticket is certain, In tho great Republican manifestation in New York City on Friday evoning last there wero hundreds upon hundreds of tho solid business men in the procession. Such men as 1. K. Tounses, L. 8. Srooxwery, Freronen Haneen, Tnoxas E, STewART, ALEXANDER Snaven, Georor Opprxs, F. R, Onvoer, Draxe DeKay, Bneaipan Snoox, D, D. Cos- over, and numerous other prominent citi- zons turned out and oarried a toreh. This is an example that should be followod by the merchauts of Chicago. It is too late to car- ry o torch, but it is not too lnto to go to the polls and to stay there and to work thero until tho battle is over. 'The presenco of our leading business mon and prominent citizens at tho polls, determined mnot only to work for tho success of the Repub- licnn ticket but also to protect the purity of the baHot-box, will bo one of the surest guarantees ngainst Democratio outrages and frauds, It is thonoglect of this class of our citizons that encourages the vicious and dis- lionest classes to hope that they can over- como the Republican majority in this city by fraud. Business men have a peculiarinterest in thiselection. The success of tho Republic- an ticket will be in tho interost of order, peace, and good governmont ; in the interest of the whole country rather than of one soction; in the interest of its general pros. perity. Itwill remove tho present distrust, nud avert the disnstrous consequences that must flow from the clection of Tiupey, It will arrest tho goneral alarm that must pro- vail if the Solid Bouth gains control of the Governmont and dictates ita policy, aa it certainly will, for if TipEN is olacted it must be by the Solid South. The election of TiLpEN can bring no confldence in the future, Our business men should reflect that it is not alono their duty to vote, but that thoy should protect others in the right of voting; that they should not abandon tha elections to be stolen by gaugs of Democratio ropent- ors and ballot-box stuffers; that tremendous issues are at stako; that even the peace and prospority of tho country are involved. Can they not give one day in four yeara to their country? Will you not, business mon of Chicago, closo your eatablishments to-day with one consent, go to the polls, work and vote, see that your friends vote, and stop illegal voting by the influence of your presenca? e — THE EUROPEAN OUTLOOK. The latest nows from Europe is not alto- gether pacific. Notwithstanding tho com.’ pulsory accoptanco of the six woeks' armis- tica by Turkey, it is by no means n settled question that it implies theaccoptancoof the pence propositions, Onthe other hand, it is beginning to be tho opinion of the closest observers in Europe that tho armistice is only tho firat step towards war botweon Rus- sia and Turkey, and that the peace condi- tions are alroady o failuro in advance. The most significant reason for this opinionis found in the desertion of Turkey by the other Powers, England, long timethe friend of Turkey, has virtually declared sho will not firo a gun in defense of AMohammedans, orto sustain the Government of the Osmanlis, She will take no warlike step until her East. ern intersta aro involved by n menace to Constantinople. The London T¢mes of Oct, 20 significantly says: ‘‘If there ever has been such a thing in the world as a national deolsion, it is that which has Leen taken by tho British people with reapoot to the con. tinuance of the Turkish rule. No Minister, no public man who has a position to gain or lose, will henceforth venture to advocate o ndvocate a war for the maintenancs of the Sultan's Government.” And sgain, in the same {asue: **Thore is good ground for beliey- ing that we should have no real support from nny Power iu n war for the defenso of tho Turkish Btato." The German peoplo, through their Premier and the Emperor him. self, have emphatically declared that they will not take part in any struggle as betwoen tho Turks and the Bclaves or tho Turks and the Russlans, The Govern. mont of Franco, through ita Prime Minister, Las mado the same declaration, The plans of Austrin aro not fully developed, simply because sho is not yet decided upon the question of territorial acquisition, Italy, the fast friond of Germany, will follow Bis. MAnok's polioy, Thus the Solaves, with the power of Rusain back of them, are left face to face with the Turks to sattle conditions of peacs, The Turk lhas mccepted tho short armistice of six weoks, which will close in tho doad of winter, when the Itus. elans will be ready to fight and the Turks will not be, The Russians fight better. when the snow i3 kneo-défp, ‘Tho Turks are summer warriors. The firat indication of troublo is found in the imme. diate increase of the war fecling in Rusala, and the growing firmness of the Russiun de. mands at every stage of tho procasdings. ‘The second {s in the rumor that Rusaia will inuist upon the immediate withdrawal of the Tarkish troops from dorvis. Tho proba. bility of truth {n this rumor is a strong one, sinco tolonve the Turka in Sorvia would bo tantamount to exposing tho Beyvian peoplo to their inhuman cruelty and tyranny, If Russia hes roally insistod upon their with. drawal, it ia o step in the intorests of common humanity. ‘There are very good ronsons for belioving that tho Turks will not aceept this demand, and still better ronsons for belioving that thoy will not at this time, in the very flush of victory, accept tho conditions of peace which will bo stipulated as an ultimatum by Russin, Theso conditions aro basad upon the English proposition for sutonomy, which bas been accepted by Russin, and includes tho following points: 1. The nbsoluto in- depondence of Servia, 2. The independence of Montenegro, with pormission to ox- tend its territory and ndd to it the port of Bpozzia. 8. The guar- anteo of tho political and administrative sutonomy of Bosnia, Horzegovina, nnd Bulgaria. 4. Tho restoration to - Russia of tho strip of Bassarabia which she was com- pelled to yield up by the Trenty of Paris in 1856, and the fraedom of the Dardnnelles. When theso gmpnsilionu aro formally pre. sonted to tho Porte, thoro is good renson for belioving that thoy will be peromptorily ro- jected under tha prossure of pu;‘mlnr opinion in Constantinoplo and the religious fanati- cism of tho Mohammedans, The Turko.Ser, vian question is by no means sottled bocnuso” tho Tiirk has consented to an armistice, On the other hand, the prospect of a warlies very Inrgely in the consideration that, if the Turks should accopt tho propositions, they would yield every point for which they have been fighting and reduco themselves to the con- dition of vassals, Their nuthority once ab- solutely romoved, they could not live side by #ido with tho Ohristinn cxcept ns the infe- rior race,—a pointwhich their wf¥onal pride and roligious bigotry will nover concedo withont a most desperate struggle. When that time comes, the war will simply ba be- tween Russia nnd the Sclaves on the one hand and Turkoy on the other. Unless Russia insists upon seizing Constantinople and the Bosphorus, no Europesn Power will interforo to help Turkoy. — THE PETER COOPER VOTE. Tho Greenbuck party still mnintaina its organization, comparatively strong .in some States, wenk in othors, and merely nominal in isolntod districts. As tho election draws near, and thore nre indications in somo States that it will be close, the importancoof this vote in possibly dotermining the final result bocomes very obvious. A month ago the goneral result might have been almost determined by the olection in Indiana. That State, like Now York, was indispensable to TizoeN's election. His defeat in Indiona would have established the impossibility of Lis election, ovon with the voto of New York. The Greonback party in Indians woro fully awaro of this state of things, and nearly every Democratic member of that party abandoned it, and voted the Domocratic ticket. , Not so the Republicans, Some 10,0000f thess blind. 1y adhered to their ticket, and thereby enabled the Democrats to elect ‘Wirrrans, whose defeat would have ended the campaign. The vote of New York, though claimed by both parties, may, aftor all, bo close, and in that State the Peren Cooren ticket is in- dustriously ciroulated in overy city, town, and village, In tho 900,000 New York votos to bo polled noxt Tuesdny, if thero ba even two per cent polled for Coorer, the aggregato will be 18,000, and that voto may bo grenter thon the plurality of eithor of the othor gandldates, and tho Eleotoral vote of the State will thus bo given to a minority candi- date. In 1844 the Abolitionists nomnated Bmyer for Prosident, refusing to voto for cither Crax or Pork. Porx was the Pro. Slavery candidate, and the Anti-8lavery peoplo wore especinlly opposed to him. Tho result of tho election was known "o de- poud on tho vote of New York, yot 15,800 Whigs in that Btato voted for Bisney, and thus allowed Poux to beat Crax by a plurality of 5,166, Thisis precisoly what the Greenbackers did in Indi- ana in Ootobor, and what they aro laboring now to do in Now York, Illinois, Michigan, _and Wisconsin, and in parts of other States. That can be the only and inevitable resnlt of the persistont voting for Perzr Coorrr, Though not probablo, yet it is possible, that a few thousand votes polled by Repub. licans for Peren Cooren might clect Trrpey Electors fn Now York, Michigan, Wisconsin, and perbaps othor States, ns it certainly will doin Indians, aud lence, though the ma- Jority of tho poople of each of those States bo opposed to ‘Iupew, he would got the Eloctornl vote of all of them. Now, while we recoguizo tho right of every citizon to give oxpression to hisviews in whatever manner ha may think proper, we fail to seo. how thess Republican frienda of inflation can promote their ends or express their views by offecting the oloction of tho bullignist, 'fizoeN, Phere is no hope or oxpeciation that Mr, Coorex can obtain an Electoral vote in all the United Btates, therefore no direct end can be gained by voting for him, The only offect that can be produced is to di. vide tho anti-Democratic vote, and thereby clect Truoey, Will such o result promote any end sought by the Greenback party ? Will such o result, accomplished by such menns, be nn expreasion of the views of the Greonback party ? Mz, Coorzr has no ex- pootation of being elocted or of obtsining an Electoral vote, Hois groutly advauced in years, being 89, and is ruled by those around him, Prominent among tho mombers of his im- mediate family is Mr, Hewrrr, the Chairman of the Domocratic National Committee, This Democratic National Commifteo, through Mr, Hzwirr, have been able to prevent the aged gentlemon from withdrawing as a candidate, and havo been able to keep the Coorxs ticket beforo tha poople wherever Republicans can be found who will vote for it. We have scon hiow successful this schome has been in In. dians, and tho Greenback Republicaus are to be usod for the samo end in New York, Mich. Igun, Wisconsia, and even horo in Llinois, It Mr, Tinen has any ono point in his politica mora doterminedly fixed than onother, it {s an inexorable hostility to na- tioual paper money, and a determination to have gold the exclusive stoudard of value, Ho had this principle and polioy broadly written in the 8t. Louls platform, and when it waa proposed to modify that platform, and to concede something to the frien : paper money, it was refused. Gov, D RIMXR solemnly and emphatipally declarsd to the Convontion that thd issue was * hard money " or paper mouey, and that the Con. veution must deoids to tako hard money or TuoeN would not accept the nomination. Ho would boa hard-money candidate on a hard-money platformn or he would not be a candidate at all. His letter of socoptance was of the sawe general tone, and, though it ws befogyed in wmany things byhis cunning- ly-devised phrases, nevertheless the lottor as & whole wos a strong declaration ia favor of nloUlE: MONDA ., 1wO.EMsBR 6, 12/6. tho reatoration of the gold standard and the oblitaration of paper aa a legal-tandor, Now, we oarnostly ask theso Republicans wlo proposo to vote for Perzs Cooren, and thus directly aid the cloction of TiLpxN, what thore is in tho rocord of the Domo- oratio eandidate which offors them tho loast inducoment thoreto? His wholo political life haa beon thnt of anintonse, bitter Democratio partisnn. He has boon for twenty yoara the unrolenting dofamer of the Republiean party, tho apologist for slavery, the dofonder of Btate Sovercignty and secession, and the bitter champlon of the Rebela; in all this there Is nothing cortainly to commend him to tho support of any Ropublican, But,in addition to this repulsive rocord as nn original boliever in accession, and,consistently, an op- posor of the War for the Union, what is there in the record of the groat attorney of the ‘Wall strect nionoy-lendora and giant corpora- tions to recommend him to the support of thoso Ropublicana who favor a continuauce. of greenbncks ns a logal-tonder? The hend and front of tho uncompromising hard-mouey faction, and of those who demand gold as the only logal-tender, how can the friends of poper mndnoy voto directly or indirectly to mako Tirory Presidont? In 1845 the Anti- Blavery Whigs, by voting for Biaxzr, clected Janes K. Porg President over Cray, which clection resulted fn tho annexation of Toxas, the Mexican \Vm-.'um repival of the slavery ngitation, ending in civil war, Do the friends of paper-money now, by voting for Peren CooPEm, propose to eclect TiLDEx, whose election will result in Rabol claima and ealamitics not excoeded by those result- ing from tho election of Porx thirty years ago? Yet that is the only outcome from voting for Peres Coorzs. ‘WHEREIN IT WAS DEFICIENT. * The Domocratio torchlight procession Sat- urday night was, on tho whole, n very cred. itablo affair, considering the circumstances. It requires a good deal of courago on the part of anybody to turn out to bear a torch inglorification of such aman ns Saxt TrLoEN,— @ woazened, wily, merconary old bachelor, incapablo of n gencrous impulse, and who has made millions by, unconscionable sharp law-practice, Had it depended upon that alone, the affair of Saturday night must hiave proved a ludicrous failure. It wns not en- thusinsm for TiLpeN, which no human be- ing ever folt, that fotched out the Chicago Deomocracy. It was mere partisruship, and the hubit of unquostioning obodience to the party drill.masters, that brought them out and made the procession quite a demonatra- tion,—sufficient to occupy perhaps forty or fifty minutes in passing a given point, and,in so far ss the display went, surpassing somewhat the Republican demon- atration, when more than nino-tentha of thosa who turnod ont did so not to bear torches, but to hurry to the Exposition Building to join tho 25,000 peoplo thronging thera to hear Col, INgensOLL. But what did the Democratic demonstra- tion Saturday night domonatrato ? Upon the sharpest scanning of the transparencica—to get up which kad boen exhansted the logic, fertility .of imagination, and wit of the managors—it was impossibla to find one de- nouncing the organization of rifle-clubs to overawo pqlitical opponents, Ono looked in vain upon 4ll that array of illuminated ** watchwords " for a word of denunciation of the nrgument of politics with shot-guns, of teyrorism over votors of the opposite par- ty, or of attacks upon and firing into politi- cal moetings becnuse thoy happened to be Ropublican moetings. There was a conspiouous absence of any denunciation of ballot-stuffing, reposting, false counting, colonization of voters, or any of tho other frauds upon the ballot-box. Thors was no demand that the majority shounld rule in the South, oven if the majority happoned to be Domocratic, and nothing to indicate that what was wanted, and what, too, is of the highest consequonce, is that thero shall be an honest olection, at which overy voter ahall bo froo to cast his ballot a8 ha chooses, and that the will of the majority so ox- pressed shall rule, On the contrary, there was scarce one of the transparoncics that was not denunciatory of oll that has beon done by the Govern. mont to guard against frauds upon tha. bal- lot, and to soouro o fair clection by the ap- pointment of Bupervisors, and the sending of troops onough South to protect votera sgainst the rifleclubs, For the rest there was profuso display of “Tmory and Re- form" sentiment. It signified only Truoxn and tho offices, which it is the policy of the minority of the Solid Bouth to capture with the shot-gun and the aid of thelr Northern Democratio allies. < s — THE CONFEDERATES AND NORTHERK DEMOCRATS, It will be well for every patriotic citizen, who bolieves in the unity and perpetuity of the United Btates asa nation, to conaider the situation of the Northern Democrats befora _ho casts n ballot for Truoen and Henpnicxs, The nomination of those two men was an abandonmont of all pretense to progress and a relapso into the ante-War servility of Northern Bourbonism to the five-oaters of the South. The gentlemen whose claims ‘were presented at St. Louls on the ground of service or patriotism during the War recoived no consideration, Had the Democrats nom- inated Gon, Haxcoox or even Gen. MoOurr- La¥, they might have sald to tho country that they had thus prepared agaiust any pos- sible outbroak at the South by calling to power & man who had once fought for tha Union and would not brook any new at- tempt at secession. Had they nominated a man of Liberal sympathies like Judge Davisor Lyuan Tuonwury, there would have besn a fecling of security from every atlompt to bresk down the Government and disrupt the Union, bocause the country would have been confidont that devotion to the Union in oither of these gentlomon $vould overcome overy other sentiment in time of trial, . But the fact is that allthe gentlemon of thess con. victions or antecedents wero put aside, aud tho contest for the nomination was betwoen Treozy and Hexpsdioxs, The South would have none of the others, but iwere doubly eatiafied with getting both of these on the same ticket. All the patriotism and devo- tion to the Union which the Demooratic party comprises were betrayed by this re. sult, which, in case of sucoess, will place the Northern Demoorats as completely in the power of the sectional faction at the Bouth aa they wore beforp the War. No intelligent man, whose judgment is not obsoured by party ambition and who properly eatimatea the greed of an impover- ished and unropentant South, can doubt fora single moment that the Confederates will make a desperate effort to * equalize bene- fits," to get compensation for property used and occupled by tho United'8tates armies during the War, to have railroads built, riv- ers improved, and canals constructed at the cost of the Goneral Governmest, over two- thirds of which will come oub of the people of the North, This hope, the last of n proud people who beliovo themaclves to have been infamously wronged, will be pressed to the utmost oxtromity. ‘Tho traditional resort of to Southron—sccession from the Union— ‘which has been appealed to in every caso of griovance since Jaorson's time, and which was foyeshadowod, in the Virginia resoln- tions of '08, will be rovived in ease the Con- foderata demands Lo resisted by 'Tr. oen nnd the Northern Democrats. ~ What then? The Norihern Democrats will be powerless. They have nominated a man who is precluded by his own convictions and uttorouces from the adoption of a coercive policy. Mr. TirpeN, belleving that the Union i a more league, that the Constitution is only ncompact, nnd that any Btiate has the right at ony time {o withdraw from the Government, cannot and will, not do as Lixoory did,—¢annot and will not eall out an-army of volunteers to coorce an alle. gianco to the Union, Thero will Lo talk of concossions and compromises; but the Houth will not eompromise on auything but its own terms under a Governmont committed to n policy of non.resistance to secession, The old batred of the Confederates to the mett who conquered them will revive upon their new thrents, and the disappointment of their greed may urge them o put thoso throata-into execution, ~ + 2 Wo present a contingency which is noither impossible nor improbable, and aflirm that, in such a contingency, the Northern Domac. racy, by the nomination of Trrpex nud Hex- Dricks, have rendered themselves so subser- vient to the 8olid Confederate South that they will be holpless, When that time comes, then overy man to whom the Union ig Qear may bid it o> long and last fargwell, The Soparatists will have their way, and the Na. tionalists will not come into power untilit aliall bo too late to sdopt a coercive policy. No patriotic citizon can afford Yo ignoro this danger—the greatest of all—which is inci- dent only to Tiroex's election, and is out of “the quostion with. Havea and the National party in pow THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN, A gentloman sends us an extract from the recent epocch mode in Chicago by Mr, Brame and another from Mr, Henpnicks' Chicago speach, both referring to the clec- tion held in-Mississippi in 1874, Horo is what Mr. Brame soid: ‘There wna an clection in Mississipp! Inat year—n peaceful election, they say. Missisalppl is Itepub- lican by 30,000 majority on any fair vote, and they say that they took it from us and tarned it over to the Democrats in o peaceful election! Now I want to say, and I say it from ofiiclal data, and I say it not looscly, but T make statements susceptible of yroof, and that would be good cvideaco in any court—I want to say that, at that peaceful Demo- cratic victory In Misslsslppi, thero were more men murdered on_that clectlon-day, or four or five weeks precediny and preparatory to the election. day—there werc more men murderod than have loat thoir lives at oll clections, municipal, State, or na- tlonal, In all of the freo States from Malrne to Calle forniay at avery election that this Governmest has held vince Gronae WasuiNatox's Administration began In 1780, Now you know that we occasfonally ‘have excitement at the polls, and men get knocked down and sometimes injured and svmetimes killed, unhappily, But you sy take all thesa sporadic cases that have been inthe froeBtates sinco Groner ‘Wasutxaton's Admiulstration down to this hour, and they will not aggregate one-lialf the nnmber that were murdered In that peaceful clection In Missisalppl In which tho Democrats triumphed Joat year, : Mr. Hespnicks, whose point was that, wherever the Domocrats were in control, the olections were quiet and peaceful, was ro- ported as foljows: «° . A yenr ago the Democrats carrled the State of Misslssiopl, afid the Legislature had been so just and fair that both whito and colored people spoke of 1t with prgise. But Mr. BLaive had snid, *'at that pesceful clcctlon In Misslssippl there were more men murdered than over lost tholr lives at atl elections, municipal, State, and natlonal, in all the frev Statea from Maino to Culifornia at every election slnco tho time of Gronor WasuiNaroy." ‘That was o broad statomont. It was singnlar that 1o one kuew that but Mr. BrarNg, Our correspondent asks us which of theso two gontlemon made the correct statoment. It is obvious enongh from the contoxt of tho two oxtracts quoted. Mr., Brame's state- mont, a8 ho himself said, wns based upon an official record, Mr. Henoniors did not un- dertake to controvert the assortion by rofor- cnce to tho official record, but contented | himself with a contemptible insinuntion that it was not true. ¢ It was singular,” he eaid, ¢ that no one knew thisbut Bramve.” No one knows ita truth bottor than Hexpricrs him- solf, It was in this same speech that ho de- liberately told tho people that tho number of office-holders under the Ropublicon porty had increased from 50,000 to 92,000, though the offieial rocords show the number to be 80,000 loss than Hew- onicxs stated. 8o in tho caso of the Missis- sippl eloction we can only infer that Ar, Hexprioxs deliborately and intentionally misropresented tho facta for partlsan pur- poscs. He has shown himsolf not to be above thia sort of thing, notwithstanding the high position for which he is a candidate, The record to which NMr. Braive referred was the roport of a Bpeoinl Committeo of the United States Bonato, whicli was engaged for months in investigating tho Mississippi elec- tion, which examined hundreds of witnesses, and which compiled the evidonce in a volune of not loss than a thousand pages, wo be- lieve, This compilation was too voluminous, of course, for newspapor publication, but numerous extracts have beenprinted, and the Committeo summarized its purport in n ro- port showing tho most lnwleas and desperate measures over resorted to for carrying an olection, In this way the facts have becomo s0 notorious that the goneral namo for intim. idation and violence to influence elections has come to be known as *the Mississippi plan.” The Democrats carried Missiasippi in 1875 at'the coat of not loss than 850 lives of Re. publican votors. As Mr, Braing pointed out, atter allowing for the relative population of the two Blates, it was the same as if 850 or 900 Republican voters in Illinols were mur- dered in order to terrify Republican voters, keap thom away from the polls, and thus carry the Btate for Tirpex and Henvnioks, 1f that be a poaceful election, then was the Mississippi election of 1876 peaceful ; other- wise not. It was proved by abundant ovidence that bands of armed horsemen scoured the entiro State, breaking up Repub- lican meetings, killing colored Republicans often enough to show their intent, driving off white men who wore in the habit of voting the Republican ticket, and noti. fy1ng everybody that tho Domocrats intended to carry the eloction, peacofully if their opponents would vote with them or stay away from the polls, but by violence aml blood. #hed if necessary, 'They carried out their threats to the letter, The riots around Vicksburg were bloody scencs, in which the killed and wounded were all «colored mon, ‘The votes of the praceding years shows how effioient the *‘plan” was, GEaNT recelved 81,016 votesin 1872; in 1873 Ames for Gov. ernor roceived 84,807, though Arcony ‘took away & large number of the regular 1tc- publican vote; yet in 1875 there were but 60,450 votea for the Republican candidates, and Y8, 8U6for tho Domocrat; Democrata had nenrly do‘ul‘;: n::l ! in 1875 09 thoy had at the They voled oarly nnd of the ballot-boxes lmuost openly, o, thoy had cowed the colored R‘e mblc‘mm into a condition where they dig fiotl 4 s protest.
