To-day will tell Low far these calculatious aro. cor~ rect or otherwise, Nr, Canrer II HanmwsoN denies having wwritten the circular to German voters in the Second District in which Col.

It was gotten up and cirenlated, he learns, by a . West 8ide Germian Domocratio Club, bat ho v ir{ in no wise in accord with the sentiments exprossed in it, Heo knows Col.

No notico was token of the petition, further than to direct tho Clark to ploco it on file. Thoro was no oxpectation that Judgo MoAruirer would -grant tho . prayer of the potitioners, but it Is no small satisfaction to know that the paper has beon | doposited mmong tho offiolal archives of the i Court, and that it will remain there for all time, a forcible oxpression of the sentiments ©f ‘an indignant community. | 3 Of conrsae it i out of the queuuoil that Lurw Stewanp should be lected (Governor of . $he great State of Ilinvis, ‘The Democrats did not expect it whon they accepted hia at the hands of the Decatur Grecnbaokoers, - Thoussuds of hLouest, fair-minded, and self- xespecting Democrats will not vote for him, -+ and thoss Ropublicans who might have voted for n distinctively Greonback oandidato will refuse to bo betrayed into voting for a double-dealing, vulgar old Dourbon, DBut it is o matter of local pride that, in a largoe and iutelligent city, o wan like STewann should receive as small n volo g possibly, and that tha relative proportions of the Stewalin voto will o n good gauga of the futelligenco and ;- decency of (his community.

Mo should seo that the list of Electors aro those nomiuated by the Ropublican party, for there will bo tickets professing to be Haves and Wusrren tickots that will really hnve the Trupex and Hexpnics Electors. Ho should also seo that tho Republican candidnte for Congress in his district, as well as the Republican candidates for Stato officors, is on his ticket ; Ioxik, for instance, is running nll sorts of tickets. Ho should then salisfy himself that ho is voting for the Republican county candidates, and four Republican Connty Commissioners. 1t will requiro gront personal care to guard against decoption. * Republicans of the Firat District should be. ware of bogus tickets gotten ont in the inter- est of Hoxre. Wa havo seen o tickot of this kind, which contains tho names of all the Republican candidetes excopt that of Mr. Axpnicy, in whose place the namo of Hoxie appears. Lot no ono bo misled by tickots of this character, Scan the ballots closely, and be sura you ara not fooled into voting for somo disreputablé Demoerat of tho Hoxie stripe. An cxcollont messure has been adopted by the Ropublican Conmpaign Com- mittee for the proper information of voters. Posters. printed in largo type will be con- spicuously displayed at every polling-place, giving a complote and corroct list of the Ieo- publican candidates from Presidential Eleot~ ors down, Let every votor compare lus ticket with this postor, and thereby bo cer- tain of avoiding mistakes, ‘Tho defoat of TILDEN to-doy will bae the complete overthrow and disruption of tho 4 Bolid South " a8 n political organization, It will destroy tho last hope of the Sonthern extremists to regain power and undo the ro- sultas of the War. It will break up tho whito line in politics, and emancipate a Inrge whita population who, thereafter, will take sides in politics on somo othor issue than the exclu. sion of the negro. The election of Gov. Hayes will build up nlarge white Xepub- lican party in the South, and this party will be composed of nalive whites as well ay ne- groos. It will also lend to breaking up tho color line among the negroes, that popula. tion dividing nccording to interost nud per- sonal attachments and Jocality with the whites. Gov, Ilaves in his letter of acaept. suco referred to such o vosult nsoncof the poculiar Lleshings the Sonth could sceure. — 1t is too lato to make nuy votes by argu- ment, but it is just tho time when mer- chounts and good citizens can do the best practical work of the eampaign by devoting this day to their country. Every man who feols the nssurance of ponce, continued prosperity, ond inereased cconomy in tho olection of Ilaves, and who apprehends fully tho danger of placiug n party of claim. auts and spoil-seckers in power, can do moro in this singlo day for socloty, business; aud his country than ko will be able to accom- plish for the next four years, Every good citizen should not only vote himself, but nf- ford ample time for voting to all those who aro associsted wilh him or dependent upon him, Even n Presidontinl olection finds many men indifferent, and it should be tho business of good citizons to stir up and urge on all Inggards thoy know of to voto for the safoty and prosperity of the country, which ara moro involved to-day than nt any timo siuco LiNoarn was firat olocted. Wo take it that few intelligent men in Chieago will wasto heir votes by casting them for candidates of tho Greonbnek party who aro not nomiuated on any otber tickot. ‘This applics particularly to Bowey and Nou- ToN, who aro the separato Greenback candi- dates for Congross in the First and Sccond Districts, Every sane mou knows that there is not even a shadow of succoss, not even u protension to that effcot, for either of them ; and thoy are kept in tho flold meroly to nssist in the election of Hoxizand Canren Hauni- soN, Greenbackers of former Kepublican associntions may rest assurod that not u sin. glo Demoocratio vote will be wasied upon theso men, and every Republican vote givon to cither of them is precisely the same as if cast for the Demooratio eandidate, Voting for a Greenback: candidate for Congross in either of tho Chicago districts is worse than gratifying o more dolusion,—it is voting for the Confederato mnjorlty In tho next Coun. gross, for the clalmns and subsidies tho Bolld Bouth I secking, and for all the daugers in. cident to Democratic supremney. Hoxie, the Btock Yards' *‘soction-boss of the Michigan Bouthern Railroad and tho nssociate of hog-drovers sud day-laborers, has uo morae claim upon Democratio votes than hie has upon Republican votes for the Congressional position to which he absurdly aspires, Ho says that he has always boen & Republican, and will take his seat on the Republican side of the House if clected ; and it {s notorious that he got the Democratic nomination by purchase, so that thero are no party reasons requiring Democrats to vote for himn, But there are rensons higher than any party consideration whichshould prompt overy decont man to vote szainst bim. e is o vulgar, illiterate, and low-flung fellow, who {5 trying to go to Congress for corrupt purposes, aud to got thers by corrupt moans, 1t may neod all the respeotabla votes that cnn be brought ont against him to overcome the imported and bogus votes which will be polled for him. 'The good namo of Chicago is {uvolved in the issuo, and every decont man, whethor Republican or Democrat, should vote for Mr. Aronton in ovder to render Hoxie's defent certnin One of tho thoughtloss and inconsequen- tinl conclusions that have actuated n good ninny peoplo in joining tho Democratic huo and ory for n ohango” is tho associntion of tho panio of 1873 and the consequent hard times with tha party in power. A momont's refloction will bring to mind that the United Btates {a not the only country which has been suffering commercial depression dnring tho 1ast two or threo years. Tho fact is that the snme deprossion has oxtended all over the civilized world, excepling France nalone, and | thero is no other conntry to-day whero the times nro so ensy asin our own. The specn- lative mania hind n nearly contemporancous collapso nll over the world, and it was tho oxcollent condition of the credit of our Gov- ernment, sustained by tho Ropnblican party in spito of all opposition, which enabled the peoplo of this country to enter so quickly upon tho process of recovery from tho crisgia, * Make haste slowly” is n good motto for such a recovery, and ono of the dangers to bo npprehended from Domocrntic triumph i to bo found in the spocions but futile promiso that TiLpen's election will set things “kiting” again, It is just what we want to avoid. the *privilego of voting for the four County Commissioners to bo elected to-day, and it is o duty, of which o must bo the jidgo, to voto for those most likely to administer tho county monoys honestly snd cconomically, The fact that tho vote for ench County Comn. missioner 48 by tho city nt largo bns led tho Domocratic candidato on the Sonth Side (Frrzoenatp, a man in overy way unfit for the place) to hopo that he may be elocted by the nid of tho other divisions of tho city. The candidate of the Repub- licans—Mr. Evaexe 8. Pige~Iis n largo prop- erty-owner, a gentleman, an houest man, and universaily liked and respected by all who know him. It is just as much in tho interest of the West and North Divisions to have such a man elected to the County Bonrd from the South Division as it is to the voters and tnxpayers who live on tho South Side 1t is the duty, thoreforo, not only of ovory Ropublican voter, but nlso every taxpnyer and respeotable citizon, to seo that the name of Euvoene 8, Pize is among the County Commiasioners ho votes for. The objection to voting for Bunpicx (the Greenback can- didnte) is that it will b, in offect, n vote for Frrzaenaro, There is grent folly and weskuess in sup- posing that n change is necessarily for the bettor. Any sudden and radical departure is more frequently for the worse. The worst thing n frost-bitton purson can do is to hug up to o hot stove. To turn tho Governmont over from tho party who have mnunged it for sixteen years to the party who have had no oxperience in all that timo oxcopt thoir offort to destroy it, and to abandon o policy which has ateadily reduced tho debt and taxa. tion to the nggrogate amount of nbout ons thousand million dollars sinca the War, is a chango which may better ba ragarded with apprehension than plensurable anticipation, Under the conservative financial policy of the Ropublican party the country has boon stendily racovoring from the frightful shock of tho pauic of 1873 ; ULusiness is reviving, confidenco i Inrgoely restored, and thero are signs of prosperity—a more oven, substan- tinl, and permenont prosperity than that which succeeded the War—on all sides. It will be rash and foolhardy to soek a sudden and folse inflation that will again disturb business and doludo peoplo into a renewal of tho oxtravaganco and spoculation which led up to the paunio of 1873, and which would inevitably bring about a rcourrence of tho shock, THE TRIBUNE'S OUERS. Everybody is guessing as to how the sov- eral States will voto to-day for President. This is our gnesa: Liep. De e Totalesenn, 20 Int this table wa give tho Democrats overy State thoy seriously claim excopt New York, Wa have placed North Carolina, Imlislnnn, Florida, Oregou, aud New Jersoy in the Dom- ocratic column, notwithstanding the chances aro strong that thoy will lose two or thres of them, and many close obscrvers beliovo the TRepublicans will erry all of them, and many think Iayes will carry Indiann, Strango as it mny scem to thoso who havo not eiphiered it ont, the Ropublicans can loso Now York, aud if they carry Now Jersey and North Car- olinn or Loulsiann, thoy will atill elect their candidates, —— A FRIGHTENED CANDIDATE. Tho worat scared and mnost - demoralized caudidato for ofico in tha United States is Sayurn J. Tiben, A fortnight ago ho was full of confidence noud sinistor smiles, Dut o frightful chaugo hag cowo over the spirit of bis drontus ulnuo'thun. aud especially within o few days, Thoe suddon movement of the groat mer. ohants, manufacturers, bankers, money-lend- ers, dealers in stocks and seeurities, and cm- ployors of labor against LiLoey, Fammany, aud the Bolid South, Las changed tho whole political aspect in the Empiro State, Theso wmen have waked.up to the evil conse. quences which may attend a transfor of tho Government into tho honds of the Confederates, und tho despernto gang of carruptionists who run Tammany Hall, By lundreds and by thonsands the business men of the Empire Btnte have chunged from T1r- veN and Hexonieks to Haves and WieeLeu, They will gives Haves thoe State of Now York to-cuy, boyonud all reasounble doubt. ‘They feel that thoy can't afford to lLave the Government and the nationa! credit pass under tho coutrol of the party who have two biltions of Bouthern cluiwas to present at tho T'reasury for payment, « They canunot depeud upon the promiso of Tioex to defont tho poyment of that voat mnss of clalms with hisveto, Tlels g frall, feeblo, worn-out old man, who has but aslight hold on life, and it is nonsense to supposo that loe can succossfully resist the Bolid Bouth, who elected him, He would be no more than n honse-tiy agaiust their fixed purpose, The credit of the lovernment would be shakes, and per- | baps shattered; all valuew would be dis- tnrbed ; porhinps anothor panie wonld break ont. Every business would be imperiled ; no man ecan foresco the ontcome of the trinmph of the Solid South and the corrup- tionists of Tammany Hall, Thess are Lhe considorations which are opernting so powerfully on the minds of the commercial nud financinl clpsses of men of New York, Tirorn has beon quick to discorn this chnngo of rontinent against him which hns takon placo, aud ho is frightened nenrly to death, Ilois rushing frantically about in Now York and Brooklyn, mnling spoeches to torchlight prooessions, hold up in the arms of the gambler Jony Monnissey, and issuing two or three lotters, proclamntions, cirenlars, aud addresses daily, signed by his honchman, Ank Hewerr, every ouo of which betokens fright and demoralization. Tho man lins grown desperate, and shows it in overy word nnd net. Ilo is the worst senred candidato who ever ran for s high offico sinco the Government wns foundod. JHo Is pouring out his money in & floed. He loves money dearly, bat defeat so stares him in the faco that money is no object now if by its means lLic can escape the impending disaater to his nmbition, BASH V8, NELSON. An cffort wns mada yesterday by certain laading Republicans nnd the Committee of the Reform Club to agree upon a now man for Scuator of the Bacond District. ‘The proposition discussed was, that Mr, D. N, Base should bo taken off tho ticket if Mun- nr NersoN was withdrawn by his friends, and both partios to unite on Mr, Cnanues H. Reep; but, after a great denl of talk and some recrimination, the suggestion was not carried into effect. Mr. Basu positively do- clined to withdraw in favor of Mr, O, 1L Rzep or onybody olse. Mr. Nelson was willing to decline in favor of Mr. Reep, but it seems that Reep himself was not consult. ed, and it is not known that he wonld havo accopted the nomination, Thero seomed to be a hitch all round, which embnrrassed tho negotiations and rondered them nugatory. 1f tho two Committecs lLind ngreed upon Cuanves II Reev for Senator, it was the in- tention of the Ropublican Committes to have purged the uame of Mr. Basx from the tickot whethor he consented or not, ns it was folt that Mr. Rzep would be clected by an enormous majority, as just such a man as he iz needed to represont Cook County in the Senate, The nogotiations having fallen through, somo membors of tho Senatorial Committeo are nlleged to have mot and passed the fol- lowing rosolution : Resolcedy That afier a full javestigation of the charges made sgalnst D. N, Iasu, our candidate for Senator, we hereby declara that ho stands fnlly oxonerated, and that no circumsatanco was discov- ered which reflected in the slightest degree upon liis businesa character or his honor ne a man, and ‘wo hereby call npon all good Republicans to voto and labor zealously for his electlon. On tho otbior hand. the Reform Club Com- mitteo publish, over their own siguatures, an oxceedingly damaging statement concerning Mr. Basu, which inciudes an nccount of an interview with him in relation to the alleged swindling of Roppins and Ray in tho corn transaoction, The Committoo pronounco him unworthy of the votes of the peopleof tho Second Distriot for Stato Senator. Although Munny NersoN appears to have a good pros- pect of clection, thero is great dsuger that the district will bo lost. No picture of the dobasing mothods ro- sorted to for office-getting has been sorrier than the spectncle presonted by Bamuzw J. TizpeN to-dny in the attitude in which ho hos placed himself bLeforo the peoplo nsa candidato for the highest offico within thoir gift, o began by doing what no mau in this conntry over before did,—buying tho nomination for the Prosidency; and, with unoxowpled activity, from that day to tlus ho has been buying his way townrd the Whito Tonse, In this ho has spent his monoy in o mannor which until now no one would hnve supposed a candidate for the Chief Mongistracy of this great nation wonld dare to do, and the rato at which he has spent it is without n parallel oven in the his- tory of the corruption of Romoin her do. cline. Ho has extended thioughout the United States tho paid-striker system of Tammany. In every city, and noarly overy county, ho has throughout tho canvass kopt Lis hired agents, whose business it has boon, and oatil the polls closo to-night will Lo, to put his money * where it would do the most good" In the purchase of votes. Ho has spent his monoy to buy through an advertising ogoncy the columus of nowspapors which couldn't bo bought out- right, Ho has spent even more monoy to orgnnize and maintnin his Literary Bureau, with its ono hundred and sixty-three hack- writers and ponuy-ndiners and literary pirates to manufacturo lies nnd hbels and campalgn canards, which he has oxpended still moro monoy to put into printed circula. tion through poid organs. ITe has his can. vassers in his privato pay stationed through. out tho country to buy up overy voto that can to-day bo purchnsed, Ilo was nomi- nated bocause it was beliovod he conld buy his way to the White Tlouso, It ho bo oclected, it will bo as ho was nominated, by purchase. In morked contrast is the coursa of Gov. Iiaves in painstakingly abstaining from por- sonnl participation in the canvass into which Tiwnex hos entered with all this indecent display of greed for oftice, with his barrel of money. Of itself, did no othor considera. tion entor in the clection to-dny, that cught to bo suflicient to determine tho vote of every every man who is unwilling to see the Prosidency mado o matter of purchase and sale, Tho lon, Oant. Bouunz's opinion on the probablo financial effect of ‘I'Lpex's election is worthy of enrncst consideration as coming from a statosman who cannaot be suspectod of mnking statemonts for mcre partisan pur- poses, nnd whoso knowledge of Europenn countrics and pooples Is so familiar as to one able him to spenk with authority of their likely impressions and apprehonsions. The chief indicator of tho Government credit, the tinancial condition of the couutry, und the relative commercial confidonco is the United States bond. The point which Mr. Sosunz urges is that every man who holds a bond kuows the debt it represents was inourred in subduing the South, and thero will naturally bo u gencral apprelieusion that the Bouth, re- turning to the control of the Governmeunt, will not regurd that debt as sacrodly as thoso who created it for the purposo of saving the Uuion, ‘The mnational debt was the outgrowth of ‘'a civil war, sud its status depends more upon the success of one orthe other partics to this civil war than if the debt were a common obligation incurred in resisting a common foe, The accession of & conquered faction is not the best guarantee for the integrity of obligations growing out of thefr formoer defeat. Iu ad- dition to this consideration, it must not ho forgolton that ropudiation has nevér hoen hinted by any party i thia country excopt the Domocrntioc party, which once based n Presidentinl eampaign thereon, If the Unitod Stntes bonds should'decline as a re- sult of Tizpen's election, a3 they probably will in that event, then all otlior securitioa will inavitably follow thoir downward ton- dency. Tho banks, especially savings-banks, the insuranco companies, and all tha other great financial intoreats of the country, aro too intimately nusociated with tho natibnal crodit and hold too many of the national bonds, not to bo sorlously nffected by such a disnster, and tho result might onsily bo o worse panic than wa oxperienced in 1878, CARDINAL ANTONELLL For many months this distingnished pro- Into and statesman lns beon reported ns in failing health, and on Bunday Insb he died at TRome, Ilo was born April 2, 1806, at Son- nino, in Italy. Ho was o descondant of an nncient nnd very wealthy family, and was educated for the Churclh. He was a man of grent ability and of groat lenrning, aod has been all his life a groater champion of tho Chureh in civil than in ecclesinstical mntters. As nschiolar nnd a writer he attracted the nttention of Gueaory XVI,, whu took him {nto the civil servico of the Btato, After ser- vice 1n several positions he was made Min- ister of Finnnce, for which branch of the public service he had a strong tasto and emi- nont ability, fe held this rank when Prus IX. was olected Yope, and was soon after, in 1847, mnde o Cardinnl. In 1848 ho wns ad- vanced to the rank of Primo Minister, and becamo the most conspionous servant of the Church, and conspicuous among the states- men of Europe. He wns the Liberal Miniater, and was compolied to leave office, In 1848, nfter tho nssnssination of Yossz, the Popo left Ttome, and was joined by AnTONELLI At Gueta, whero he becamo Minister of Stato, and from that time to the presont ho hins beon tho constont ndviser of the Pope and s fnost trusted friend. At Goota ho nego- tiated with foreign Powers tho terms upon which the Pope returned to Rome, Upon the restoration he nbandoned the liberal policy which he had originated, ond has preserved ever sinco the uncompromis- ing opposition t¢ popular demands which oventually lod to the political consolidation of the Italinn States, and the election of Vic- ror Exanven ns King of Italy, with Rome ng tho Capital of the Kingdom. Bo longns tho Fronch troops remained in Rome tho Papal Governmeont was recognized ns o po- litical Government, but after the withdrawal of tho troops in 1870 the ingorporation of Tome as part of the, Italinn Kingdom soon followed. As Socrotary of Forcign Affairs tho Cnrdinal Ministor resisted the unification of Italy and the nssnmption of Royal nuthor- ity in Rome, sppoaling ecarnestly to the Powers of Europe. Sinco 1871 ho hos beon nominally the chiof Minister of a political State not recognized by any European Gov- ernment, The privato life of the Cardinal has been of o charncter to win the rospect and admi. ration of Europe. His learning and his abili- ty have been conceded by all, and he has employed his vast fortuno not only to nid the rovenues of the Church,but to promoto loarning, sud to advanco sdience and art. Ho hns ndded greatly to tho goms of art and liternturo which form the accumulated troas- uros of the Papnl Government. Though for many years afflictod with diseaso, ho has lived to & ripo old ngo, and his death adds nnotlior to tho long list of comparatively young men whom Prus IX. has appointed to tho Cardinalato, and who have died boforo him, In his day Cordinal ANroNELLT has won fame and distinetion, and, though Lo hns oceupicd in the world's estimation an unpopular position, Lo has novertheless enrned distinction by his ability, learning, nnd fearlessness, and by his devotion to tho servico in which ho had onlisted for lifo, GERMANY'S POLICY, To Germany belongs tho credit of baving Drought about not only the present harmony existing botweon the Great Powars, but also the presont armistico betweon Turkey and BSorvia, since if Germany hnd opposed it TRussin never would have insisted upon it. Whilo'tho other Powers gave their opinions confidentially, and scemed to bo afraid to commit thomselves unresorvedly and boldly cither to the long or short armistice, Ger- many, after waiting in vain for some public and dotermined aunouncement of policy, frankly said {t was immateripl whothor tho armistico was for six months or six weeks, and that she had no preferonce in the mat. ter ot all, but, innsmuch ‘3 tho othor Powers could not scom to agreo upon the six monthy’ armistice, sho would announco thot sho should support the six weoks’ armistico, The manner in which this announcemont is made shows the satirieal as well as tho courngeous policy of Brsaancx, and the effect of it is manifest in tho sudden sgreement of the Powors to sup- port Russin and tho forty-eight hours' no- tico to Turkey, Almost instant]y after Gor- many had thus taken thoside of Russin, Italy aunounced that her policy was that of Germany, and England and Franco hastenod to say to Rtussia that they would not intor- fero in any quarrel botweon her gnd Tur. koy. Austrin offorod no objection, as sho bad been promised territorinl extension by Russin, and thus Germany, which has kept quict so0 long, appeared as the master of tha situation, and conferred a lasting obligation upon Russia by giviug bor tho load in the nogotistions which England had Lad. This lnst move of Biswanck's is a master. stroke of policy. It checks Russia in any move for the present Jookingto an allinuce with France, which is his constant drend. Tho only danger that threatens thoe Gormen Empire is this alliance, and so far as human sldll ean go ho has averted it. A war ba- tweon Tussin and Turkey would remove that danger still further, siuce, howover brief it might bo, Russia would retire from it ex- hausted, nnd bo as dosirons of a long peaca ns she was nfter the Urimean war, It will not bo difficult for Lisaarcx to keep on tho Russian eide. Germany cares nothing for tho urks, Bho hns nothing to lose if Ttusain should obtaln an outlot through the Bon of Marmorn, or even if she should seize ond Lold Constautinople. It England should abtain possession of it, sho would caro still less, If tho captura of Constantimople by either Powor should proyoke o war botween them, Gormany would be still more pleased, regardloss whioh side might bevictor, With regord to the possibility of au alliance be- tween Russin aud Austria for atinck upon Qormany, tho London Speclator says 1 The Gennan subjects of Austrin would not allow 1t, woold conslder it treason tb thelr civilization, snd would oither prevent it, or, sooner ot later, joln thootheraldo. There Is uothingto feor in that direction, but much to hope, for Austriv's Jlne must, In any concelvable contingeucy, bo accopt- able to Borlin, If she fights Russla and ls victos rious, Russla iy weakoned, und Auatria nostronger. 1¢ she fighits Hussia and {s beaten, her Qerman aub- Jects will tako shelter In the bosom of the Ewpire, which wonld then be far too strong to bo attacked, And It Austeia, instend of fighting, joins Russla, o8 tho Iapsbnegs are clearly Inclinod to do, and—as Herr Giskna han recently ndvised in o pblic epecchi—clatma a large sharc in (he apol), the centre of gravity of that family ia puslied farther and farther Inat, an object which Prince Imrarcrc hiaw for years past asawed, with eynical frankness, 1hnt ho thinks desirable, Austein with part of 1'ne- %oy to digest is lesa formidable than Austrla freo and nnloaded. Hin troubles with Austris, like his troubles with France, only tempt the German Chancellor to encourage Rusaia {n an antl-Ottomnan expedition. Tho notion entertained apparently by tho Z¥mea that ho would prevent n Russlan move- ment was therefora ns unfounded ns its expression waa discreditable, nnd the dry rebuko of the Ger. man prose, that the alllance among tho Imperial Towers still exlsted, and that Germany had her own Interests to care for, oxactly expressed the convictions Princo Bisyancx entertaine. ‘Whatever drift affairs may tako, Germany is mnetor, and Bremanck has ndroitly checked any possibility of n Franco-Russinn alliance, nnd can sit quictly down conlont to let Rug. sin go as far as hor ambition may dictate, HOW THE OLAIMS WILL BE PAID, Though this is election day, and the time for argument has passed, nevertholess the Democratioc party has n majority in one branch of the present Congress, and that majority will continne until March, 1877 The legislation domanded by the South, in ordor to onable nan army of Bouthern peoplo to collect their claims, will not bo tho pas- sngo of lnws declaring such claims payable. Under the gencral laws of tho United States any person having doemands ngainst the United States can present them to tho vari- ous departments or to tho Court of Olaims, aud if their validity and justico bo recog- nized and cstablished, thoy are pald out of the money nonually approprinted for such clnssos of demands. Under these genoral lawa thoro have beon allowed and paid many thonsands of cloims prosented by persons residing in tho Southern States for losses and damages sustained by the War. In this respect Congress has been extremely liberal, becnuse under tho law of nations, applicablo alike to civil and foreign war, all persons residing in the cnemy's couniry ara Leld to be enomies in tho matter of sustain. ing damages. It is the fato of all such por- gons to bearall the consequences of being part of the population of the cnemy, Con- gress hog relaxed this rule to the extent of allowing residents of tho Rebel States to present theso olaims as other citizens, but roquiring them to prove that during the War they in nowiso took part thorein against tho United States, and did nothing to aid or pro- mote the rebellion, All that is neoded to ad- mit this whole army of Rebel claims is tho ropoal of so much of tho law 8s requires proof of loyalty. Senator Mennmson, of North Carolina, folly understood this matter when he introduced last yenr a bill to repenl so much of the law as required proof of loy- alty. It is only necessary to repeal a fow sections of tho existing law; no other legis- Iation is needed. Wo give certain of the sections of tho oxistidg law whicl the Demo- crats will repenl shonld they get the power: Bec. 3,480, Itshall be unlawfal for uny ofilcor to pey ony account, clalm, or demand againat the United Stotea which accrucd or exlsted prior to tho 13th day of April, 1861, in favor of any person who promoted, encqiragad, or in any mouner sna- tained the lato Rebelifon, or In favor of any person who during such Rebelllon was not known to bo opposed (hereto, and distinctly In favor of its sup- pression; and no pardon heretofore granted, or hereafter to bo granted, shall anthorize thoe pay- ment of such nccount, claim, or demond, untit this scction Is modified or repealed. SEc. 4,710, No money on account of pension shall be patd to any person, or to the widow, chile dren, or helrs of nny deceased person who in any mannor voluntarily engaged in, oraided, or abetted the lato Rebellion ngalust the authority of tho United States. Tha following section applies to claimaats beforo the Court of Claims, audits ropeal will bo included in the Democratio ropeal: Ste. 1,074, Whenever it Is material in any claim to naacertain whether any verson did or did not give any ald or comnfort to tho late Rebellion, the clalmant asserting the loyalty of any such per- son to the United States durlng such Rebelllon shall be required to prove nftirmatively that such person did, durlng sald Itebellion, consistently ad- liero to tho United States, and did glve no nld or comfort to persons engaged In said Rebelllon; and the voluntary residenco of any such person in any place whore at any time during such rusidence the Itevel forco or organization held sway, shall be nrima facie avidenco that such pereon did give ald and comfort to sald Rebellion, and to the persons engaged therein. > The following, governing claims beforo the Boutherr. Claims Commisgion, will also be repealed : d Commissloncrs, in conafdering sald bo eatisfled from thy, testimony of witnesses under oath, or from otlier sufiicient ovi- dence, which shall nccompany each clmm, taken undersuol rulea and regnlations as tho'Commiasion- crs may adopt, of the loyaity and adherenco of the clalmant to tho canse and tho Government of the United States, before and nt the time of tho taking or furnishing of thu property for which any claim shull bo made, 'The Demucratic Congress will also repeal tho following legal authority for the protec- tion of persons aud for the enforcement of the laws: Bxe, 6,200, Whenevor inaurrcction, domestls vlolence, unlawful comblnations or conspiracies in any State wo obetructs or hinders the excentlon of tho laws thereol, aud of the Unlted States, as to deprivo any portion or class of the pooplo of such State of any of tho righte, priviicges, or immuni- tles or protection named in the Constltution, and sccored by tho Jawd for tho protection of such rights, priviloges, or Immunitics, and the comstl- tuted authorlties of snch State ore unable to pro- tect, or, fromn any cauee, fall in or rofuse protece tiou of tho people in sich, rights, such fucts shall be deemed a denial by such State of the cqual pro- teetion of the laws to which they are entitled under the Constitutlon of the United Etates; and, in all such caves, or whenever suysuch insurrcction, violence, unlawful combination or consplracy op- poses or obstructa the laws of the United States, or the duo executlon thercol, or Impedas or obatructs tho due courso of fustico nnder tho same, it shall be lawful forthe President, and it ahall b hisduty, 1o tako such meosurcs, by the employment of the milltia or tho land and naval forces of the United States, orof clther, or by other means, as be nay deem neceseary for the suppression of such insur- rectlon, domentic violence, or combinations, And tho following exclusion of Rebel sol- dicrs from the army of the United Btates will also go with the rest of the protecting laws: Sec, 1,218, No person who has served in any capacity luthe wmilitary, naval, or civil service of tho wo-called Confederate States, or of elther of tho Btates in Insurrection during the lato Rebeliion, shall bo appointed to sny position in the army of 1he Uniteu Statcs, ‘The rendor will remember that TrLoex an- nounced his purpose to veto any claim for damages by a **disloyal citizen." It is not necessary to legislate for the poyment of these claims, Al that is noeded is to repeal tho sections of the present laws wae have q\\mwd, and Mr. TiLoen's leiter mo more proswmises aveto of such ropenl than it is'a promiso to veto a fariff bill, The whole logislation demanded by the Sounth will not relato afirmatively to clalus at all; it will shmply bo to repenl tho several seotions wo havo copied, and they will bo repealed by tha Democrats in recognition of the vote of tho Solid South.
