The River of Life.

The more we live, more brief appearOur life's succeeding stages;

A day to childhood seems a year,And years like passing ages.

The gladsome current of our youth,Ere passion yet disorders,

Seems lingering like a river smoothAlong its grassy borders.

But the careworn cheek grows wan,And sorrow's shafts fly thicker.

Ye stars, that measure life to man,Why seem your courses quicker?

When joys have lost their bloom and breathAnd life itself is vapid,

Why, as we near the Falls of Death,Feel we its tide more rapid?

It may be strange, yet who would changeTime's course to slower speeding,

When one by one our friends are goneAnd left our bosoms bleeding?

Heaven gives our years of fading strengthIndemnifying rleetness;

And those of youth, a seeming lengthProportioned to their Bweetness.

THE RACE FOR LIFE.

BY AUSTIN C. BURBICK.

Towards the middle of July, 1840.a party of us city-hived mortal" deter-mined to take a cruise «pofi the saltwater, and no Boiler did the idea pre-sent iteeir than we set about- puttingthe plan into effect. At Atkin'sWharf, at the North End, we found asmall schooner, the "Othello," of about ahundred and twenty tons burden. Shewas a Baltimore built craft—regularclipper-shaped, long and handsome,carrying fore-topsail and top gallant-sail," and a gaff-topsail upon the main.She had been used some in the West-India trade, and perhaps for othertrades. She had four port-holes, andsome of our party could detect th i nark *upon her deck where gun-carriages hadrun, though the faint marks mighihave been made by a thousand otherthings just as well. The owner's namewas Johnson—a short, dark-complex-ioned lame man, but a good seamanand a good man. The moment weproposed hiring his schooner for_ apleasure trip he was pleased wi i theidea. He proposed that we should f i -nish a new mainsail, find provisionsand other necessary fixings, engage ourown skipper, and take him as a pri-vate member of the party. He askedno more. Of course we accepted hisoffer.

We found Tom Phillips lying on hisoars. "We knew him to be a good ship-master, and we engaged his services.Then we got a good cook, a steward,and one other experienced seaman, andfinally all our arrangements weremade, and on the n t h of July the"Othello" left Boston harbor, under afair breeze, and with a happy crew onboard. There were twenty-four of usin all. Johnson had had the vesselthoroughly cleaned, and she was notonly neat and tidy, but we found heralso a splendid sailer—gliding throughtile waiei liKo a, dolphin, and ridinglike a duck for gracefulness and oaoo.

As soon as we were out of sight ofland we took a vote to decide whichcourse we should pursue. There weretwenty of us privileged to vote, andeach one having written on a piece ofpaper the place he wished first to visit,it was deposited in a box by the bin-nacle. When the votes were all in, weexamined them. Sixteen were for Ha-vana, one for Gibraltar, and three for"Anywhere." So to Havana we went.We had a splendid run, and when wereached the queen city of the Antilles,we found wo difflcnlty in landing. Weremained there a week, and havingtaken in a good quantity of fruit, weprepared to set sail again.

"Which way now?" asked SenorTorrijos, as we were preparing toleave.

"To Saint Domingo," answered Phil-lips.

A fine trip," returned the old mer-chant ; "but," he added, with a sort ofserious smile, "you may meet Tradilloon your way."

"Tradillo?" repeated Phillips; "whois he?"

"What, have you been here a weekand not heard of Tradillo? Why, heis one of the most daring villains thatever lived—a pirate who has infestedthese seas for over three months, andwhom no amount of strategy has beenable to conquer. His hand is turnedagainst the world, and he fears noth-ing. He has a crew as bold and bloodyas himself, and he leaves no witnessesto tell of his deeds."

"Then he kills all whom he captures,does he ?"

"Yes. He goes upon the principlethat 'dead men tell no tales.' He wasformerly a native of this place; butsome time during the year 1836 he wasapprehended for robbery, and con-demned to be whipped, and then im-prisoned. He was whipped in public,but he made his escape from prison,and now he has made his appearanceamong our islands as a most terribleavenger. But he must soon be appre-hended, for many vesels are after him.'

"Does he sail in a large craft?'asked Phillips.

"No, his vessel is not larger thanyours. It is a schooner of UnitedStates build, and not a bit larger thanyours; yet he carries from fifty to ahundred men and six guns."

"But how do you know so well hitcrew, when he kills all his prisoners

"From two sources. He has writt ,two letters to the captain-general; andthree men escaped from him about amonth ago. They were all in a brigthat he captured at night, and theyjumped overboard with life-preserverson, and were picked up in the morn-ing."

"And is he about here now ?""There is no knowing where he is.

The last that we heard of him, he tooka French barque of Auguilla, and mur-dered the whole crew. But I guessthere won't be much danger, for I thinkit very likely he is down on the Brazilcoast now."

This was very cheering intelligence,but then we had no real fears—ourhearts were too light for that. It wasafter dinner when we hove up ouranchor and made sail, ai d before darkwe had passed the head ud of Matan-zas harbor. Through the night we hada northerly wind, and kept our coursewith (lowing sheets. We concluded torun to the north of the island of Hayti,and on the morning of the fourth dayfrom Havana we had made the north-easterly cape of the island. Here wehad the wind from the southeast, andwe had to make a tack to the eastward.The wind was steady, and we chooseto make a "long leg" on the easterlytack, so as to come down well on thenext one. Our course by the compasswas east-by-north, and by looking atthe map it will be seen that this course

lay clear, to the northward of all theislands.

It was about seven o'clock in themorning when we belayed the sheetson this tack, and in half an hour after-wards we were once more out of sightof land. I was sitting upon the mainhatch, engaged in peeling an orange,when some one sung out, "Sail-hol"

"Where away?" I returned, sport-ively. And then Phillips asked thesame question.

"Right there—just over the larboardquarter," returned the man who hadspoken.

We looked, and sure enough therewas a sail in, plain sight, which musthave come out from behind Samana.Johnson wont below and got his glass,and when he returned he examined thestranger and was soon confident shemust be a schooner. .

"Suppose it should be the pirate tsuggested one of our party, a Milkstreet book-keeper named Paine. Therewas a tremulousness in his tone as hespoke.

"No, there's no danger of that," saidPhillips. "1 don't imagine we're goingto fall in with a pirate so easily, -i vef0Hmrea the sea now going on twenty-years and never saw one yet."

"Unless that's one," persisted Paine."Pooh—nonsense!"uur vessel was close-hauled upon

the larboard tack, and the strangerwas coming down almost before thewind, with fore-topsail and topgallant-sail set, and the larboard studding-sails drawing. In half an hour morethe fellow was in plain sight. It wasa schooner, long, low and black, andjust such an one as Senor Torrijos haddescribed the pirate to be. There wasno mistaking this. And then her deckwas full of men, as we could plainlysee with the glass.

"What d'ye think now ?" asked Paine,tremulously.

"By the piper, there may be a snuffof powder here after all," returnedPhillips, rather dubiously.

Minutes fled rapidly, and ere long the-crooner was within a couple of miles,ihere was no more room for doubt,ler whole contour was rakish andjloody, and then no other craft wouldcarry such a quantity of men.

"Well, boys," said Phillips, "therecan't be any mistake about that fellow,and now what shall we do?"

•\Vhy_run. of course," said Paine;and we all coincided.

So without further consideration ourhelm was put up, the sheets eased off,and in a few moments more we were

jwling off before the wind in finestyle. For some ten or fifteen minuteswe watched the pirate with the utmostanxiety, and at the end of that time itbecame evident that he was gainingupon us. The thought was aone.

"They never spare anybody,' whis-pered a young salesman by the nameof Bolster. He spoke to Phillips, andseemed to hope Hint uuiu«Lliinu mightbe done to increase our speed.

But Bolster was not the only oniwho bore fear marKs upon nis face,think we all came i n for our share ofthat. Whether the pursuer was a pi-rate or not had been settled in ourminds, and the only thing upon whichwe now hung was the thought ofescape. To be captured was suredeath, and that, too. most horrible.

"Can we escape? was a questionasked by more than one, and asked byone more than once. Capt. Johnsonknew most about our vessel's sailingqualities, and he was appealed to; buthe only shoo1: his head in doubt.

could ho'd off until night, and thensteal away.

"I'm afraid not," said Phillips, whohad been watching the pirate narrowly,as the hope was spoken to him. "Thecase'll be settled before night."

It was now ten o'clock, and the windwas moderate, our schooner runningoff seven knots. It was a fixed factthat the piraet was gaining upon us—it was very slowly done, but yet wecould see it. The fellow's hull be-came gradually more plainly developedto our sight, and one after another ofhis ropes became defined against theblue sky. It was just twenty-fiveminutes past ten when he fired a gun.We had not been able to see any portsbefore, but now that point was set-tled.

"That means for us to heave to,"said Johnson, as the sound of the re-port had fairly died away.

"But we wont heave-to!" exclaimedhalf a dozen voices.

"Of course we won't!" cried Paine."We'll use the only means of safetywe've got while it lasts."

And this was the general impression.To calmly stop and let the rascals comeup and cut our throats was somethingwe were not prepared to do, forthough the pirates was gaining upon us,yet it was so slowly that there was astrange sense of hope while the dis-tance was anything between us. Per-haps some other sail might heave insight, and perhaps a great many thingsmight happen to help ns.

At eleven o'clock we could plainlysee the heads and shoulders of the pi-rates, and we could now see that herports were open, and the guns run out.They were brass gi'ns, for we couldsee them glisten in the sunlight.There was not now much over a milebetween us. But remember a mile atsea does not look like a mile on theland. Go on the frozen lake, when theice is clear and smooth, and you shallskate a mile and think it a very fewrods. We could see the white crestthat rolled away from the pirate'sbows, and we fancied we could hearthe rushing of the water as she clearedit. At any rate we could see the darkfaces of the crew, and fancied we coulddetect the scowls of triumph that light-ed up their diabolical features.

By-and-by another gun fired, as be-fore, to leeward; but of course we tookno notice of it. At twelve o'clock thevillain tired again. He was gaining onus.

"Look!" spoke Phillips. "She's yaw-ing."

"Going to steer off?" breathlesslyquestioned Bolster.

"ltather guess not. That's for ashot at us."

And so it proved; for hardly had thewords passed from our skipper's mouthwhen a wreath curled up from the fel-low's deck, and just as the report reach-ed us a shot came plowing up thewater under one quarter rail. A scoreof cheeks turned pale. Powder wasahead of wind at that game. A fewshots like that upon our deck wouldbe dangerous. We were not fightingmen—not even sailors; inured to nohardship but that of sea-sickness, andall of us wanted to get home againsafe and sound, We could see four-

and-twenty bloody corses on our deck,and we were to make the scene. Itwas an hour of terrible trial. Welooked involuntarily for a means ofescape. Had there been a stone wall,a fence, a wood, a hill, or even a few.rees, we might have had some hope;but nothing of the kind was to be seen.Onlv that endless boundless wasteall about us! We had our limbs freeand strong—only cooped within thosefatal limits.

Anotner shot struck the wp.ter along-side, and sent the spray dashing uponour deck. The pursuer lost somethingin distance by this firing, for she hadno bow-port, and consequently had toyaw in order to bring her guns to bear.It was just one o'clock when she hadmore than gained all she had lost byfiring, and at that time she fired thefourth gun. The ball struck the mainthroat, halyards, and the sail was onthe next instant flapping-

We are lost!" gasped Paine, as hesaw what h«d happened.

so it would seem, for our head-way was checked, and ere we couldsplice the halyards the pirate would beup with us. We turned our eyes overthe taffrail and there was the villainnot over half a mile distant, his deckbristling with men, and their polishedarms plainly to be seen. But whilewe were thus lost in fear, Capt. John-son and Frost (the latter was the sea-man we had engaged) had spliced thehalyards, and the gaff of the main sailwas again in its place. Hope had oncemore dawned dimly upon our deck,when a savage messenger came anddrove it all away.

The pursuer was now within a quar-ter of a mile, and as the smoke curledup again from her gun, a rouud shotand a stand of grape came upon us—the former carrying away our fore-top-mast, and the latter tearing the throatof our foresail in pieces.

"By heavens! boys, let's not die likecowards!" cried Johnson. "We haveguns on board—muskets which webrought to shoot birds with. We oughtto have thought of them before; but itis not too late now. Let s load 'em atonce, and when we've fired 'em we canuse 'em for clubs."

We had taken a lot of fowling pieceswith us, and in a few moments theywere brought upon deck, and each manrequested to take one and load it. Iwas fear-struck. I acknowledged it,very much so, but yet 1 know therewas a smile upon my face as I lookedaround upon some of my companions,whose excited fears had also quite un-manned them.

In ten minutes from the time ourfore-topmast came down the pursuerwas alongside. I uttered one prayer,gave one thought to home and friends,and then turned to the coming enemy.Our vessel had broached to, and as welay with our head half way up to thewind, the pursuer came up under ourlee quarter, and in a moment more ascore of men wpro ui>rm our deck. 1louKea UL Uiem, aim ttnribr lradoi 1-lecognized. I had known him onboardthe old Brandy wine.

"Rogers!" I gasped, starting for-ward.

"What! old mate, is this you?" he re-turned, grasping my hand. "But thisschooner ??>

"The Othello," I answered. "We areout on a pleasure trip. And thatschooner ?" I added.

"Why, it is the United States schoon-er Grampus, and 1 am commander.What a precious fool I've made of my-self! I was sent after a pirate. Ichased him from Trinidad, and losthim off Saint Domingo. May I beblessed if I didn't think you were thesame chap. You look as like him asone pea to another."

"And we took you for the same fel-low." I said. "We had had a descrip-tion of him, and you came up to it sowell we felt it safe to run."

A hearty laugh followed this strangeand bloodless denouement, and afterall was understood, we sat down andhad a social chat together, while thecarpenters of the Grampus were fixingour fore-topmast. Rogers settled withJohnson for the damage done, and bythree o'clock we started in companyfor the coast of Hayti. The rest ofour cruise we performed without muchexcitement, and, in fact, we needednone, fer that race for life was enough,and has afforded food for conversationand laughter ever since.

A Telephone Story.

There is a well-known gentleman ofthis city who does business in Aurora,Ind. His place of business and resi-dence are connected by telephone. Hehas been in the habit of returningevery evening on the five o'clock train,or when press of work detained him, oftelephoning his faithful better half tothat effect. This arrangement waseminently satisfactory until recently.It isn't so now, and this is the why andwherefore:

A few days ago Head (we call himHead because that is a long way fromhis name) called up his wife and in atroubled tone informed her throughthe telephone with microphone at-tachment that he was absolutely over-loaded with business and wouldn't beable to leave until the late train.

"Very well, dear," she replied; "comeas soon as you can."

Just as he received this message, afriend sitting in the office started upand remarked:

"Hello, Head, there go the MissesBlank that I promised to introduce youto."

"That so?" said Head, "call them in;I would like to know them."

A moment later and the ladies wereintroduced, and the overworked Bene-dict was bowing and smiling and get-ting off neat little speeches, somethinglike this:

"I am really delighted to meet you,ladies. It is so refreshing to havesuch pleasant society in our dusty,musty office. The time has been hang-ing so wearily on our hands we haveabsolutely nothing to do."

Here the telephone bell began tojingle.

"Well, what is it? impatiently askedMr. Head.

Then a sweet voice, in which wereblended mild anger and sad reproach,softly murmured over tne wire fromthe city thirty miles away:

"My dear, couldn't you catch thatfive o'clock train if you were to try ?"

A minister once told Wendell Phil-lips that if his business in lite was tosave the negroes, he ought to go to theSouth, where they were, and do it."That is worth thinking of," repliedPhillips; "and what is your business inlife ?" "To save men from going tohell," replied the minister. "Then gothere and attend to your business!"said Mr. Phillips.

Modesty is a somewhat rare virtue,and yet it is a dangerous thing to pre-tend to possess qualities or abilities*which you never had. The advicewhich Jerrold one day gave to a youthhas a meaning for most of us also. Itwas: "Young man, be advised by me;don't take down the shutters untilthere is something in the window."

At a friendly club gathering t'neother evening one of the members ex-ercised his ability for telling yarns bygiving a recital of several Irish "bulls,"to the amusement of his companionsand the indignation of a patrioticHibernian who was present. The sonof Erin at last arose and remarked in-dignantly, "Faith, and do you knowwhat I think, Mr. D. ? I think indadethat not more than one half those liesthey tell 'bout the Irish are true."

There is no worse occupation for anearnest physician than to listen to thecomplaints of people who pretend tobe ill. A well-known doctor, who wascalled on by one of his patients fornothing about once a week, ended byinquiring, "Then you eat well?""Yes." "You drink well?" "Yes.""You sleep well?" "Certainly.""Wonderful!" said the doctor as heprepared to write a prescription. "Iam going to give you something thatwill put a stop to all that."

STILL FLAYING.

Gen. Ewing Confines Dissectingthe Twin Secretaries,

And Shoivs up Republican Fraudand Extravagance.

Conclusion of his AbleUallipolis.

Address at

Mr. Sherman has the amazing reck-lesaness to assert that "the Republicanadministration has been marked by auniform decrease of expenditures, asshown by the official table of net or-dinary expenditures;" and "the Demo-crats have been rapidly increasing ap-propriations since they have had con-trol of Congress." He attempts to sus-tain these assertions by figures madeup, not from imbllshed official rp-ports, but from data of which thepublic has no information. I ap-peal from John Sherman on the stumpto John Sherman in the Treasury. Ihold in my hand his own last report toCongress, in a volume ontitled "Fi-nance Reports, 1878." On page 17 isgiven the net ordinary expei ditureof the government (exclusive of pre-miums, interest and public debt), inwhich it is stated that those expendi-tures since 1870 were each year as fol-lows. I give the figures exactly as pub-lished by him:1871 1157,533,0001872 1SS,2O1,O()D1873 180,488,0001874 194,118,0001875 171,529.0001876 164,857,000ISVT l44,20D,0001H78 1M,453,OOO

REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE.

The appropriations from 1871 to 1870inclusive were made by the Republi-can Congress, and those of 1877 and1878 by a Democratic House. The Re-publicans run up these expendituresform $153,000,000 in 1872 to an aver-age of nearly $178,000,000 for each ofthe four years thereafter; while theDemocrats reduced the expendituresfor the two last years of the report tobut little over $139,000,000 per year,making an annual saving of over $88,-000,000. It is true that for 1879 theDemocrats increased those appropria-tions to $157,000,000, and for 1880 to$100,000,000; a chief part of which in-crease was claimed by the administra-tion to be necessary because the Demo-cratic House had cut down too muchof the appropriations for the precedingyears. But take the whole average o'appropriations and expenditures fo.the four years of Democratic rule,from 1877 to 1880 inclusive, and thefour years of Republican rule, from1873 to 1870 inclusive, and the resultis as follows: That the Republicansexpended an average of $177,748,000for the net ordinary expenditures ofthe government, while the Democ i :

appropriated an average of $149,-0 -OUO, Deing a Saving iu u>c ̂ .-^^iie ••reason of Democratic economy of $:\>547,000 per year, or $114,108,000 in thefour years

Mr. Sherman, in replying to my Lan-caster speech, asserts that so far fromthis economy being forced upon the ad-ministration by the Democratic Con-gress, we actually appropriated morethan the departments asked for. Herethe Finance Minister of our govern-ment is equally at fault. For the year1877, the administration asked a littleover $200,125,000 for its ordinary ex-penditures; we gave it $145,182,000.For the year 1878 the administrate iasked $184.182,000; we gave it $140,384-000. For the year 1879 it asked $170,-226,000; we gave it $157,213,000. Forthe year 1880 it asked $164,181,000;and we gave it $160,910,000. So thatthe Democratic Congress has in fouryears prevented the administrationfrom spending over one hundred andtwenty millions of dollars mora thanwas necessary for the ordinary expen-ses of the government. I say morethan wa3 necessarv, for Mr. Shermansays that during the four years ofDemocratic control over appropria-tions "the administration has felt norestraint from insufficient appropria-t;oas in the great brandies of the gov-( nment."

Mr. Sherman,in explaining the enor-mous appropriation of $194,000,000 fcrthe ordinary expenses of the govern-ment in 1874, says that "the appropria-tions for that year were purposelylargely increased as a means of relieffrom the effect of the panic."' Sympa-thetic Mr. Sherman! How good it wasin you and your party to come to therelief of the struggling industries ofthe country! But the fact is, the ap-propriations for that year were madeat the session of Congress which endedMarch 4, 1873—six months before thepanic occurred! The excessive appro-priation was due, therefore, to extrav-gance, and not to sympathy for thepeople.

CLAMOR AGAINST THE ^SOUTII.

Messrs. Sherman and Schurz are dis-tressed with apprehensions of dangerto the government from the Confeder-ate Brigadiers. They cry out againstthe caucus, as though it was an inven-tion of these Southern men to controlthe Democratic party and thus rulethe country. They I <• themselvessat in more caucuses t *an they havehairs on their heads. What danger isthere from Confederate Brigadiers?Not one of them has proposed anymeasure in Congress to impair any set-tlements of the war. They have overand over again declared that they andtheir people accept those settlementsas final and never to be disturbed.

What more is demanded ? Nothing.The Republican party has not askedfor more. The outcry against theSouthern people for sending to Con-gress men who fought in the Confed-erate army is senseless and shameful.They have no other men of large ex-perience and capacity to send. Wouldyou force them to send only negroesand carpet-baggers! Would you undothe work of pacification which thePresident has done ? Would you re-voke the trade consummated by Mr.Foster, by which Packard, who gotmore votes in Louisiana for Governorthan Hayes got for President, wascounted out and Hayes counted in?Recollect, gentlemen of the Republicanparty, that the South has not the samelarge choice of non-conipatants to se-lect for high offices which the Repub-lican party has. All her men and boyshad to go into the Confederate army tomeet our overwhelming numbers,while the North did not send a half ofher men. In this respect the Republi-can party has the South at a big disad-vantage. They can select such men asMessrs. Sherman and Foster, whoquietly stayed at home, while the un-

fortunate South has no non-combatantsto prefer over her soldiers for highpublic honors.

Mr. Updegraff and Mr. Gaifield saidin effect at the Soldiers Reunion atSteubeuville the other day that whenthe South should contest that the gov-ernment shall be conducted on the ac-cepted fact that the North was rightand the South was wrong on the greatissue of the war, then sectional strifeshould cease. The Southern Repre-sentatives have admitted it. They donot admit, and we have no right to ex-pect them to admit that they werefalse to their conviction of duty in as-serting and maintaining the allegedright of secession. But I assert thatthere is no one man from the Southin either House of Congress who doesnot accept the disision of the war asthe final settlement of that question,or who does not agree that all theamendments of the constitution madeto give permanent effect to that senti-ment shall be respected and obeyedand executed by appropriate legislation.In view of this it is mean and unpa-triotic in the Republican leader tokeep up the senseless clamor againstthe South and prevent the restorationof harmony and good will, withoutwhich the sacrifices of the war wereall in vain.

FREE ELECTIONS.

Neither Mr. Schurz nor Mr. Shermanhas a word to say justifying the useof troops at the polls, for which theyand the administration fought so vig-orously. They know that it is a powerthat is an alien and a foe to our repub-lican system of government, and thatthe determination of the admonistia-tion to retain that power will meetthe disapprobation of the people.

'5ut Air. Schurz attempts to ridiculethe stern demand of the Democracy tohave that odious power wiped fromour statute books. He says: "Doesany sane man think this administra-tion capable of sending the Federalsoldiers to the ballot-box to overawethe freedom of the electors ? * " * ThePresident withdrew the Federal sol-diers from the legislative halls of theSouthern States."

Yes, sir, that was when he Presidentwas playing the role of i onservative;that was when he had just been putinto power by a truck and dicker ar-rangement got up by Mr Foster; thatwas when both of them were cryingout against Federal interference withState Legislatures and State elections,and were anxious for "the tia^to floatover the States, not provinces." But! cfsion ?re made «fy \\a change has come over the spirit of ! o f a.maionty of either House to obey

supervisor may seize the elector be-fore his ballot is put in and drag himoff to a Federal prison, although thepower to define qualifications of elec-tors, and, consequently, to provide forthe method in which a right to votemay be determined, is, by the Consti-tution of the United States, expresslyreserved to the States, absolutely andunconditionally.

Now, I believe, there is not a law-yer of fair-standing in Ohio who willrisk his reputation on an opinion thatthe Federal government has any pow-er to thus prevent an elector from vot-ing, or to in any manner supervise,control or direct or meddle with theState election oflicers while conducting1

a Congressional election under thisState law. Such interference \H organ-izedanarohy, No officer of a Stategovernment can lawfully be directedor controlled by a Federal officer in theperformance of his duties under validStale laws, for each government is su-preme in its sphere as defined by theConstitution of the United States.This Federal Election law is, there-fore, utterly and obviously unconsti-tutional.

Mr. Sherman makes a faint attemptto justify the Republican party in en-acting this law by claiming that therewere 30,000 illegal votes cast in theCity of New York in 1868; but he doesnot pretend that experience has provedthe law to be a wise one, for he knowsthat whenever its power has been in-voked the deputies employed and paidout of the public treasury have beenlargely poor Democrats, bribed to de-sert their party for S5 a day, and stillmore largely the most despicablescoundrels th;it could be raked fromthe hells of the big cities. The lawhas demonstrated itself every where tobe the basest and corruptest instru-ment of partisanship ever seized uponto stay the downfall of a party in pow-er.

REPUBLICAN SPIES,

Dodging the question of tlis consti-tutionality and expediency of the law,Mr. Sherman arraigns Gen. Rice andmyself for having refused appropria-tions of money to hire these spies andmarshals to intermeddle with Stateelections. He says the "with-holdingof public money for this purpose is amore dangerous opposition than theattempted nullificfftiou of the Tarifflaws by South Carolina, put down byGen. Jackson, or even the attemptedsecession put down by the civil war.By this doctrine nullification and se-

the refusal

the Southern ;nettled as Zach Chandler.wiether lie would or would not

their dreams. Mr. Foster pleads the•'baby act" and the President has takenup all low fellows in the SouthernStates whom he tramped down in get-ting to power, and giving them highstations and good salaries. He is astalwart now, has made up with allhe offended by "withdrawing Federalsoldiers from the legislative halls of

States;" and is as lion-Knt.

abusethe power, as Grant did, is not the ques-tion. The question is whether any Pres-ident can constitutionally be given orshould have the power to send troopsto keep the peace at the polls, or to,in any way, intermeddle with Stateelections ?

Mr. Sherman does not attempt tojustify the Marshals and SupervisorsLaw either as constitutional or expe-dient. Its unconstitutionally is de-monstrated to any man of common in-telligence, whether lawyer or layman.When the Constitution was framed thewhole control of elections of membersof Congress was reserved to the States;but Congress was given power to alterthe State regulations as to the time,places and manner of holding suchelections, because it was thought prob-able that it might be important to thegeneral government to have those elec-tions all on one day or to have themheid in single districts. Then it wassuggested, at the very close of the de-bate, that possibly some States mightrefuse altogether to elect members ofCongrese; and in such event Congressought to have power to make allnecessary provisions for electing mem-bers of Congress in such States. Solelyto provide for this contingency, as Mr.Madison says, the clause was finallyamended so as to read as follows:

"Sec. 4. The times, places and man-ner of holding elections for Senatorsand Representatives shall be pre-scribed in each State by the Legisla-ture thereof, but the Congress may atany time by law make or alter suchregulations, except as to the places ofchoosing Senators."

Now, here is the Constitution ofOhio. It provides that "every whitemale citizen of the United States ofi'.ie age of 81 years, who shall havebeen a resident of the State one yearnext proceeding the election, and ofthe county, township or ward in whichhe resides such time as may be p;o-vided by law, shall have the qualifies -tions of an elector and be entitled tovote at all elections."

STATE AUTHORITY.

Here is the Election law of the Stateproviding for the election of membersof Congress and other oflicers. Itprovides how long a person must be aresident of the county, township amiward prior to the election to have theright to vote; it provides how personsmay gain or lose a residence, and whatfacts shall determine a residence; itprovides for dividing the State intoelection districts, for furnishing ballot-boxes, fixing places of election, select-ing judges from residents of the elec-tion precincts, and providing the wholemanner of conducting the elections,and of making returns and proclaim-ing results. All the oflicers so author-ized to conduct elections are State offi-cers. They derive their authorityunder and are sworn to obey the StateConstitution and law. No one dis-putes the authority of the State to con-duct these elections, or denies that thiswhole election machinery, thus con-ducted and managed by State officers,is valid and in full force and operation,

But the Republican party, by itsFederal Election law, has providedthat two Federal supervisors may beappointed at each one of these elec-tion precincts, with power to inspectthe ballots of electors, and determinewhat votes shall be received and whatvotes rejected; and if any State elec-tion officer refuses to submit his judg-ment to that of the Federal supervisors,the supervisors may seize such elec-tion officer and drag him from the bal-lot-box to a Federal prison, to be in-dicted and tried for the felony of diso-bedience to these Federal interlopers.If a man's vote be challenged, and theState J udges, in obedience to the Statelaw, determine, on the facts presented,that he is entitled to vote, the Federal

the law." He seems particularly sor-ry to find Gen. Rice and myself, afterour "honorable record during the war,"in this terrible attitude of nullificationand rebellion. 'JIf they were right dur-ing the war they n.re wrong now. Ihave no disposition to criticise themor arraign them, but I prefer to followthe old Republican flag that was hoist-ed in 1854." Stop there, Mr. Sherman!I want U»**« —ii~t -a ~o,.. r . w . i i ,peroration, to call your attention tothe fact that in following the Republi-can flag in 1856 you, yourself, offeredan amendment to the Army Appropri-ation bill to the effect that "no part ofthe military force of the United Statesherein provided for shall be employedin aid of the enforcement of the enact-ments of the alleged Legislative As-sembly of the Territory of Kansas; andfurther, that your amendment wasadopted; and further, because the Sen-ate refused to concur in your amend-ment, you filibustered and forced theadjournment of the first session of theThirty-fourth Congress, leaving thearmy without a dollar of appTopriii-tions; and further, that when thePresident called Congress togetheragain you voted to adhere to youramendment, and undertook to force anadjournment of the second sessionwithout permitting the passage of theArmy-Appropriation bill, but wereoverruled by a few of your conserva-tive Republican colleagues joining theDemocrats and saving the army fromdisbandment for want of an appropri-ation.

SIIERMAX'S INCONSISTENCY.As you seem to have forgotten this

striking page in your political history,I refer you to the Congressional Globe,Thirty-fourth Congress,- part second,1855-56. pages 1754, 1790, 1704 ;md2240, and page 18 of the apendix. Youwill find the references handy, as theyare all in one volume. The differencebetween your position then and now isthis; Then you were struggling againsta bad use of federal troops in a Terri-tory over which the Federal Govern-ment had supreme control; and nowyou are struggling for a bad use ofFederal troops and marshals to controlState elections, with which the FederalGovernment had nothing whatever todo. You were willing to disband thewhole army then, rather than sufferthe Federal Government to exerciseits undoubted powers; and now youdenounce as rebels and nv.lliiiers menwho served through the war for theUnion, while you prospered in peaceand comfort at home, for disbandingyour hordes of partisans paid from thecommon treasury of the ueople towrest from them the control of theirballot-box.

I am not disposed, my fellow-citi-zens, to claim that in the ordinary ex-ercises of its powers Congress is at lib-erty to withhold appropriations forpurposes prescribed by law. We didnot withhold any appropriations thefailure of which is at all likely to in-terfere with any of the departments ofthe government in the exercise of theirordinary and acknowledged powers.We merely forbade tly? use of anymoney appropriated for the army totransport or maintain troops at thepolls; and we withheld no appropria-tions except for the fees of marshalsand their deputies. We know that ailthe marshals would be patriotic enoughto hold on to their offices and drawtheir regular salaries, and perform alltheir ordinary and useful duties, trust-ing to Congress to pay their fees forlegitimate service. We merely resolvedthat the public treasure should not bewasted, nor the control of our Stateelections interfered with by hiringbummers and shoulder-hitters, or brib-ing needy men out of the commontreasure of the people. And we nowappeal from the advocates of Federalinterference to the lovers of home ruleto sustain our action. AVe will let theballot box itself declare whether it issafer in the hands and under the con-trol of the officers of the election pre-cincts, or of emissaries hired by theadministration and backed by bayonets.This is not revolution nor iiulificationnor secession; but only an orderly,honest and pal ri ot i appeal from Casarto the people.

Ite-noisjy Bolts.

A rriioruinatioti of Oov. Robinson atSyracuse last week was m'lrte tlie pi'fi-ti y.t for withdrawal by tbo Tammanydi '.'. •ttfs who met elgowhere and placedtlicii • Vmler John Kelly in nominationj , i <\.<- ^ i i i i o p o s i t i o n .

Much as it is to bo regretted that har-mony did not prevail, and that tho rightof majority to control in the conventionwas not conceded by tlie minority, noolt'cr honorable alternative remained tothe fiiPiids of Gov. Robinson, than to goforwuid as they did, rlefipite ttw threatof B faction to bolt, if they could notlinvr their way. If M"1 principle of ma-joi-iiy rule must first be tested in themnfca of our party and perhaps at thetost of gueoees, it is wull that it shouldjro upon trinl now, when not so much is»t ptHbe as in a Presidential year. IiJoim Kelly assumes tho right to say whoshall not be nominated, then, by equalassumption ho can dictate who the nom-inee shall be.

Oov. Robinson has carried out the;policy inaugurated by his successor, Gov.TiMen, elected in 1871. Within thetiTiie these gentlemen have held the ox-eenlive reins, all departments of statebnve been economioally administered;1 hi'prisons have been made well nigh self-sustaining against an alarming deficien-cy of nearly f700,000; tho canals aremanaged at much less expense ; taxeshave annually decreased, despite thebuilding of an extravagant capitolbuilding. Koth administrations havebeen eminently commendable and re-donad greatly to tho credit of tho partyelevating either to power.

Bat, in a reduction of expendituressomebody's pockets will be reached.Gov.Tilden, in his famous canal messageof March, ISTo, called attention of thepeople to the methods in vogue throughw hich canal contractors and their friendshad for yeara plundered the common-wealth of its canal revenues. Year af-ter year the deficiency in canal manage-ment became larger. Public opiniondirected first by him to the unscrupulouspractices of canal and prison rings, criedhalt—and investigation. What was thoresult? Leading Democrats as well asRepublicans were found guilty. Boththenceforward clasped hands and re-solved to break down the reform policyinaugurated by Gov. Tilden, by defeat-ing its candidates in convention if pos-sible ; and if not th*e, at the polls.Unitedly this unholy combination went,or sent substitutes to St. Louis to defeatMr. Tilden. And, at every conventionsince, these men backed by Tammanyhave endeavored to crush advocates ofreform.

Gov. Eobinson has followed the policymapped out by his predecessor. He,too, has met the assaults of this combi-nation, re-inforced by Tammany and itssmart attorneys. Never was a politicaldetermination deeper seated ; never wasa faction more skillfully organized; nov-v« T,~»- —.*... Wuu— >*i—-j.K,,nr^ t h a n

Tammany under its leader, John Kelly, the ministerwhich moved forward to destroy the po-litical hopes of one who stands forthpre-eminent in purity, economy, and inall that should commend an official tothe honest and tax-paying pnblio.

The present executive of the empirestate represents the best element of theDemocratic party. That is why he hasantagonized Tammany and its canalring allies, every one of whose membersunited in demanding his defeat. Foryears we have watched their movementsin conventions. Every canal contract-ing thief who has lost his hold upon thetreasury of the state; every political in-capacity who has lost position; everyopponent of reform in government; everyopposer of reduction of war salaries, at-tended or was represented in tho Syra-cuse convention, crying for defeat of theTilden-Kobinson policy of reform bydemanding the withdrawal of its con-spicuous exponent for re-nomination.

The disrepute of Tammany underTweed clings to the organization andattempts at purification have not beensuccessful in redeeming itself before thepublic. Gorornor Tilden gained friendsthrough its opposition to him in '74 and'7G. Gov. Robiuson will receive thou-sands of votes in the interior becauseof its opposition now. If defeated, theparty will represent a principle that cannot fail to help it in the future. But wedo not believe defeat is in store. Gov.Tildon was elected in 1871 by 8,000 ma-jority outside the metropolis. Gov.Robinson is stronger with the oppositionthan was his predecessor. Besides, thecandidate, John A. Dix, was far moreacceptable in 1874 to the Republicanparty than Cornell is now. We awaitthe November election with some anx-iety, meantime resting our faith uponthe second Bober thought of Tammany,and the good sense of the majority ofthe voters of the state to retain anhonest and fearleBS executive.

With one eye on Ben Butler, the Re-publicans of Massachusetts mot at Wor-cester on Tuesday and placed a ticketin the field headed by John D. Long. Inthe complicated condition of Massa-chusetts politics, there is no denying thefact that the Republicans are consider-ably demoralized over the situation.Butler spent $200,000 in the last cam-paign, it is said, and made tho amountgood since by fat legal cases.

T o o T rue to he Agreeable .Our usually amiable Cotemporory,

the Register, raises itubondsiu holy hor-ror over our editorial last week entitled:"Proved to be False," rn which we ar-raigned the Republican party, pretend-ing to be the ] arty of morality and tem-perance, for elevating to the highest posi-tions of trust, hypocritical pretenders ofthe stamp of .Morton, Coukling, Stevens,Cameron, Chandler, &c, in contrast withthe Democratic party, which making nosuch preteuoej is repreeeate i by Bayard,Seymour,Tilden, Thunuan, Ac .concern-ing whoso moral characters there is nosuspicion of immorality or intemperance

Tho article cuts to the quick becauseit is true, so tme that our cotemporaryadmits its truthfulness by not denying

hit, preferring to beg thp question, throusympathy toward the dead and defence-less.

Who raised tho question ? Tho Auousstands upon the defence to the accusationmade over and over again by its oppon-ents, and will lose no opportunity to repeltbo base insinuation that the one the Bo-pubiicun party contains all that is good,the other the Democratic, all that is badin politics. When tho claim ceases to bemade, there will be no reason for reply.

The Register now as in the campaignof 1870, omits no opportunity to villifyJudge Harriman, who was triumphantlyelected notwithstanding its malignantopposition. Indeed from what we gath-er of the history of local politics, itsOpposition lias been a help to candidateson either side it strenuously opposed themajority if not all of whom were mate-rially aided by its attacks. BecauseJudgo Harriman would not "turn theother cheek" and award it patronagetho Register improves an opportunity inreply to an editorial of the ARGUS, un-justly charging him with its paternity,to further revile him. Tho standing ofMr. Harriman as a citizen has been oncetested at the polls to the intense mortitication of the Register. His record asmember of tho School Board and itsPresidency was indorsed only the othoiday by a large majority despite a schemepromoted by the Register managers de-signed for his defeat, and it is again ocourse, disgusted. His administration othe delicate and perplexing duties of th

command the unqualified approbation of all who havebusiness in his court. This too, mortifies the Register.

What is tho matter with our clergy?Before the Do Land (Grand Rapids)scandal becomes stale, Jackson furnish-es a nastier one. Elder Latbrop andMiss Wallace, the former an elder ofyears standing in the M. E. church, thelatter not only superintendent of Sun-day school, but a teacher in the cityschools, are exposed after years of inti-macv. Now comes the escapade of Rov.Mr. Bayliss of Corunna, who runs awaywith a recent convert, Mrs. Henry Phoe-nix. A polish clergyman of Detroit,Rev. Mr. Dombrowski, pays $1,190 forseducing his late house keeper, givingbirth to a child a few months after mar-riage and has fled to save his person fromharm. Rev. G. L. Haight, of Portland,

—About November 1, 1878, Mr. C.Grohl's two daughters left his house inthe night-time while the rest of the fam-ily were asleep, which consisted of thefather and three smaller children, themother having died a few mouths previous. Nothing has been heard of themsince. Their names and ages are as fol-lows : Caroline Grohl, aged 15, darkhair and eyes ; Florence Grohl, aged 13,with light hair and blue eyes. Anyknowledge of them will be gratefullyroceived, addressing Bawsonvillo, Waynecounty, Michigan.

, y pfriendly regard entertained for him, itwill not be denied that it is an extraor-dinary nomination to be made by theRepublican party in this state at thistime.

It was a plain duty to select somecandidate of political independence,wholly unconnected with dissensionsand alienations in the party, and forwhom every Republican could votewithout reluctance and without apolo-gy ; some man of aptitude for public af-fairs, of a courage like that of John Jay,who repelled the dictation of AlexanderHamilton ; of ability like that of Gov.Seward, who in the interests of. humanrights vanquished Virginia in argument,and maintained the honor and dignityof New York. This is not an idealstandard, because the names show thatthere have been such Governors ; and,wlnle it is not to be expected that therewill always be such candidates, it iswell to contemplate what has been, andto remember that the Governorship ofNew York is a great office. Certainlyit is unwise to be content with actionwhich, measured by such standards, isonly grotesque.

It has been already stated that it isnot a nomination which is acceptable tomany who supported it. There was noformal speech of presentation, and theresult was received with enthusiasm. Itwas a result due entirely to what isknown as "the machine," and any othercandidate whom the machine had adopt-ed would have been nominated as readi-ly. This is but tho confirmation of thefact, which is more and more evident,that political initiative has passed en-tirely from the people into the hands ofa special political class. This can beremedied only by resolute aud persistentwork of those intelligent citizens whoolearly perceive it. The platform of theConvention is good, but too diffuse; andit contains a timoly recognition of thequestion of the lesponsibiiity of corpor-ations, which is fast becoming a veryimportant question. Vociferation ol thenecessity of harmony cannot conceal thefact that the campaign has opened in adispiriting manner, and nothing but theconsciousness of the immonse consequen-ces of Itomibliean detent could securevictory under such auspices. The dutyof concealing what hosts of the most in-telligent and patriotic Republicans feel,we do not recognize.

Now I ask all good men that oweme to come right up and do it. It is for our mu-tual benefit that these accounts be closed up; Idon't say some future time, I mean this presenttime.

There is a class of customers that I wish to get ridof;'tis those lousy rascals that compel me to paytheir debts after signing their notes to accommodatethem.
