A COMBINATION has been effected between tho Republicans and tho Reform Democrats Ite twoof tho South Caroling Districts which In- sures the election of two Republican Congress+ men from that State.

Garteld writethe fetter! Ho ought to lose no thmy in thus adding perjury to forgery, for it might posalbly do tile causa some som, ond coutuu't possibly hurt his reputation, THE LAST OF THE FORGED LETTER. It has been perfeetly clear to Intelligent people for many days that the Chinese cheap Jabor letter accredited to Gen, Garfleld was. a forgery. ‘To those who have followed Gar- Hetl’s career the forgery was evident from tho first. Subsequent revelations In regard to the inablitty of anybody to discover the ythical Morey, the fneorrectiess of tho Post-Ofllce stamp, the non-extstenee of an “Euployers’ Unton” at Lynn, Mass., and the falsify of varlous representations which wers, intended to give verlsinilltude to tha forgery, were sufficient to convince any one who stlll doubted Gen, Garfield’s emphatic denials Some days ago ‘Tins ‘Crue's ad- viees from Brooklyn polnted to the author ot tho furgery, and yesterday the person thus polnted to was arrested after an unsuecess- ful effort on his part to ovade the of- ficers, Tho person In question is one Vhitp, who is ohe of the editors of @ruth, tho disreputable newspaper which first printed the forged letter, and an intimate of 8 game of newspaper out- casts aud blickinallers who have long been regarded by the profession as a disgrace ant aplague, It may not be possible to bring the forger to the punishment he deserves, but the evidence of forgery 1s abundant to set at rest every remalning suspicion that Gun, Garileld wrote the letter in question, The peenilar infamy of thls whole aifair, however, {3 to be found tn the elreumstauce that the Democratle newspapers In all parts of the country continue te: print facsimiles of the forged letter as If its genuingness were altogether undisputed, Thess firprea- sions aré evidently inde from plates fur- nished by Barnun’s Committee, as they Appear ino uiany newspapers whieh could. not afford the expense of having a plate mado sfor thelr own use. ‘hos tho . public has strong evidence that the managers of the Democratic eam: paign are parties to the conspirney whieh en- deavered to fasten this bogus fetter pon Garfleld, and honest Democrats as well as Republivaus wlll regret that the law eaunot lodge these co-onspirators and aecompllees to the forgery In the Penitentiary, where they properly belong. : In striking contrast to the courso taken by the Democratle newspapers generally tn this tuatter, the Now York Herald prints the let- ter wiilch Gen, Ginrtield wrote to tho Hoi. Marshall Jewell denouncing the forgery, and thereby gives its readers an opportunity to discover thy fraud for themselves, The most casual glance atthe forged letter aud Goh, Carfleld'’s genuine letter, when they are side” by slide, brings convietlon of the forgery, Tur Truunn, by a comparison of its own, has already pointed out tha marked dlifer- enee between Garfield's handwriting and the clumsy Imitation thereof in the forged let- ter, ‘The fee-simtle of a genuine letter whieh tho Herald prints fully bears out our prevylons comparison, and revenls so many potnts of difference Iu the style of penman- ship that it is lmpossible to belleve that Bar- ntun or any one else, after proper examinn-, tlon, ‘could have been deceived by the forgery.

IRELAND'S QREATES! DANGER. There fs evety indication that the trish Land-Leaguers and many of the tenantry {ntluenced by them. are about to repeat the old-time story of reeklesness and defeat the object of their organization by their-own folly.

It says that “the local contests in Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia show an unexpected In- erease in tho netivity and strength of the Stopublicans,” and adds that “there fs ttle lime left for a change In the public temper.’ It goea oven fuher than venturing an opinion as to the Presidential election, ant believes thst “the same sugten tyist tn the e Weathercook of poynttir favor will probably again place the Repubfleans fi at mafosity tt the House of Reptesentatives.” In suelt ease It predlets that “the Deimograts will necd all their political courage to maintain thelr organization and thotr act yity."? ‘The Tones attributes the drift of public | Benthnent in favor of the Republterns at this Une to the general prosperity, to the Demo- cratle polley of “playhing fast nrtl loose? with the curreney question, and to the dls- inetination of the peopte Just now to risk any radical change in tho tari system, “We need not say.” writes the T'lnes, “ thata Frees "Trade polley has all our sympathy,” bub it has tho candor to admit (having no direct partisan interest in the struggle) that, if Free ‘Trade could not enrry tho Western States, thore Is no reason to expect still greater-suceesses at tho Presitential election in the Knstern States,—In New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maine, and, above dll, in Pennsylvania? If the Democrats, who are sill atritzgling to save their Congress- nen and local tlekets In districts whore there isa living chanec, were to give an equally candid opinion at this time, they would take preetsely the sauie view of tho sitttation, ‘The Vines, Judging more or less from En- elish election practices, is ready to credit all the storles about the corrupt use of money, atul says “Itis probable that in this mettiod of warfare the contending parties are eqtinl- ly inatched, as well fn abundance of means as in absence of scruples.” . Asa mutter of fact, there {1s no evidences in any of the Nortliern States that money fs employed for the purchase of votes in the open and shameless fashlon that marks English elections, nor ts it fair to conclude that both parties In this country were equally inured to the corrupt use of money. ‘Che nowttintion of English for View President and the appointment of Barnum as general manager of the Democratic cani- paign were tantamount to a notice that the Democrats intended to mmke the “barrel? an linportant agent in the campaign; but there have been no signsof asimilar purpose on the part of the Republicans. ‘Tho money which has been employed by the Republican minnagers has been devoted to tho necessari- ly expensive detection and prevention of the frauds tnid out by the Democrats, and this use of money has been confined chiefly to Indiana, ‘Tho purchuse of votes is so common oa thing in England — that it {3 casily belleved thoro to be the practice of both parties In this country, whereas tho truth Is, that the Repubilean purty has always been the champton of the purity of the ballot-box, and enjoys the credit for Inangurating all the prevallli¢ methods for protecting elections front fraud. The Democratic party, on the contrary, opposes persistently all these safeguards against cor- ruption, and wherever itis in absolute power, as in the Sunthern States, fraud fy the ruling element of politics, The opinion ns to pravailing corruptiona however, ig. a digression; it diag uo real bear- ing on the point just now In Issue; for, even if the assumed corruption were evenly bal- anced (as the Times professes to believe), It would not change the present English estl- mate of success, which glyes the elcction'to the Republicans. Aw analysis of the registratton In Now York City shows, tho New York Times st that the rate of Inerease hus been inuch greater in Republican than in Demoerntle districts, Tn tho Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh, and ‘Thirteenth Assembly Districts, all of which are Itepublican, tho rate of increase over tho regiatration of 1870 199).83 per cont; in tho remaining distriuts, alt Demoeratte, the rate is 246 per cent, If tha total vote bears the samo proportion to the reg- istration ng in 1870, thore will be 202,000 yotes polled next ‘Tuesday, Adding to, the vote cnat for President by, cach purty In 1876 Is duo proportion of the Inerenge, ng lidieated by the ubove percentages, we have a Demoeratic total, fn round nuinbers, of 10,000, and a Republican tofal of 72,000, giving a Demu- eratic majority of 68,000, This fs what the table shows If It shows anything.
