Democracy in Xorlh Carolina.
The campaign in North Carolina is
developing many points of national
interest. The two candidates for
Governor are Judge Thomas Settle,
Republican, at present n member of
the supreme bench", and Zebulon D.
Vance, an ex-Confederate- Both are
native North Carolinians. JudgcSet
tle was a loyal man during the war,
and suffered great hardships from the
rebels. Ho has tince the war held
ruanv official positions of honor, and
was chairman of tho Republican N
tional Convention at Philadelphia in
1872. Vance was a Democratic mem
ber of Congress previous to the war,
and Governor of North Carolina dur
ing the war. The campaign issue is
the same as in 1SG1, and Vance is
making every effort to prove his loy
alty to the Confederacy. He recently
made o speech at Raleigh to open the
canvass at which ho declared : 1,
That ho is sorry he laid down his
arms in 1SG5; 2. That he is in favor
of rc-enolaving the negro, and if that
cannot be done at once, his idea is to
adopt a plan which will bring about
such a condition of things. His plan
is to deprive the negro of educational
privileges; to pay him low wages; to
prevent him from purchasing real es
tate, and deprive him of arras, am
munition, stock, and agricultural im
plements. This i? the platform which
the Democratic candidate for Govern
or of North Carolina deolares as his
own. Governor V -co has been ac
cused of being a doughface duriug
the war and hois trying to convince
the ex-Confederates that he was not.
Tiiden Repudiated.
The Hon. Geo. W. Houck, a lead
ing Ohio Democrat and n delegate to
the St. Louis Convention is determin
ed not lo "eat crow," as every Demo
crat that ha3 half sense does these
times, while there is a more palata
ble dish set before him.
One evening last week Mr. Houck
made a speech at Dayton, when he
embraced the occasion to repudiate
and denounce and to declare his
intention to bolt the nominees
of the National Democratic Con
vention. And for this cause ho
gave his reasons, which in recapitu
lating and summarizing, amounted
to seven in number, truo and incon
trovertible counts in the arraignment
of Mr. Tiiden which no man can suc
cessfully gainsay or resist. For the
present we will give but one the
seventh reason why Mr. H. cannot
support Tiiden, which is a follows :
Because Mr. Tiiden is not in char
acter or qualifications what he and
iiis friend chiim him to be. Ho has
resorted to. means to promote his own
aspirations, that are unprecedented as
they are disreputable. His record as
a reformer has been seriously im
peached, by some of his most ardent
supjorters two ytar ago. His con
nection with lallroad corporations,
and the Credit Mobilier swindlers, as
counsellor and adviser, is not such as
to rellect upon his character as a law
yer, mucn iess as a reiormer ; and as a
hard money man, tbo issue of some
four millions of individual currency,
in viiiiutlon of law, subjecting him to
heavy penalties proves him to bo a
sham. He is not, In brief, such a
man as the country should accept for
the hijih office of President of the
United S (a tea.
In comparison of antecedent? and
character, he suffers much .when
placed beside the pure, straightfor
ward and excellent man the Republi
cans had the good sense to nominate
for the piesidency uen. ilayes.
But Mr. Tiiden is not a politieianMn
tho low and mere sense of manage
ment and intrigue. Nebraska City
Neius.
It is however proved conclusively
upon him that he and Tweed conniv
ed at ballot box stuffing. There is
not an intelligent man anywhere,
Democrat or otherwise who does not
know that tho evidence of Tilden's
complicity in election frauds in New
York as chairman of tho State Democratic-
committee, aro incontrovertible
cannot be gainsaid. Why do not
Democratic editors tell tho truth
give the facts to their readers. Hor
ace Greeley, before whom tho New
York election frauds werecommitted,
believed MrTilden to bo ameau, low,
politician, so mean and low that he
would commit a dastardly fraud, a
crime, upon tho honest people of his
State, to carry tho the election to suit
him ; and Mr. Greely knew this and
bublicly charged Tiiden with it. But
Democratic newspapers dare not be
honest and tell tho truth they do
not give their readers such testimony
as Greeley's letter to Tiiden they
daro not do it; but prefer lo hood
wink the people, or to try to do so,
because they know that if thej' gain
a victory It must bo through deceit,
subterfugoB and lie?. Tkoy know
that Tiiden is no more of a reformer
than Tweed, and does no more deserve
the confidence of tho people. Potter
may not know these things, but ev
ery intelligent Democrat does.
Nebraska, so far, has only one mem
ber in tho House, and that member
should be a man whom the peoplo of
this commonwealth can implicitly
trust a man who owes allegianco to
no master except the people, and who
bows to no power except tho popular
will. Oiiiafta lite.
That is all well enough. Rosowat
er Is so extremely good at epigramat
ic display that those unacquainted
with him might bo easily deceived in
believing him not to be the shyster of
Nebraska journalists and the most
contemptible demagogue that ever
played second fiddle for n corrupt po
litical ring. But what's the matter
with Judge Crounse? What is the
Bee growling at now? Does it pro
tend to s:y that our Congressman is a
man whom the people cannot "im
plicitly trust?" If that insect has
any fault to find with Judge Crouuse
why don't it spit It out iuuendoes
are contemptible. Wo always thought
the Judge did middling well as a rep
resentativein fact the best he know,
and that his honor could bo oven

not of much account, after all, to a
representative of a new country. We
would like lo know, if the Bee pleas
es, if there is anything tho matter
with Crcunse, except brains.
A Bismarck correspondent of the
Tnter-Occun, says. July 21st, that
"All evidence goes to show that the
rumor o'f Sitting Bull being killed in
the Custer battle is untrue.'1 Anoth
er dispatch from tiie same correspon
dent and of the same date says, Sit
ting Bull was undoubtedly killed in
tho Little Horn battle. His body
was recognized by Frank Groard, who
has been among tho Indians tho last
twenty-six years. It now turrs out
that Good now, a Sioux at Fort Uice,
two days before gave a detailed p.'an
of Sitting Bull's campaign, including
the adandoncd village, and the larger
village into which to decoy thetroop3,
together with a description of the
ground. His description of Sitting
Bull agrees perfectly with the body
found, and the Indian chief at Stand
ing Rock also soys Sitting Bull was
killed, together with Black Moon,
Crazy Horse, and six other chiefs.
The entire Indian loss, was between
300 or 400.
The Globe-Democrat, very truly, as
we believe, remarks, "Custer, for the
sake of reaping the honor of a con
spicuous victory, threw aside both
prudenceand obedience." Hedisobey
ed Gen. Terry by attacking the Sioux
two days before the time ho was or
dered to do so, and by not waiting for
a junction with Terry and Gibbon.
And he threw aside prudence by di
viding his command, making-!.:, eas

On the evening of the 20th the Re
publicans of Ft. Wayne, Indana, had

Governor, addressed the vast crowd.
Among tho banners wero tho follow

Tho Philadelphia Times which
manifests a strong disposition to sup
port Tiiden, sa-a : "Is it not time
for Tiiden and Hendricks to make up
their minds what they uro going to
say to the country? This ridiculous
delay is a manifestation of weakness
unworthy of two such men. If the
trouble is that tho3T cannot agree, they
might as well say eo at onco. That
would at least be honest, and honesty

A pleasuro yacht wa3 capsized by a
sudden squall, near Stapleton Staten
Island, on the 20th, and nearly all on
board, 20 or 30 ladies and geutlemon,
wero drowned. The boat was the
"Mohawk," owned by Commodore
Garner, who was aboard with his
wife, both of whom were drowned.
Mr. Garner was worth twelve million
dollars. The cause of the accident
was carelessness in not noticing the
approach of the storm andproparing
for It.
'If the question was nsked," says
the New York Tribune, "what the

conjunction of candidates on the
ticket, the ambiguous utterances of
the platform, and the record of the
present democratic congress."
Mr. Storrs, the Chicago orator, ro
ferriug lo that great reformer and
Democratic leader, Boss Tweed, said :

James P. Joy on Tiiden.
In conversation recently, Hon. J.
F. Joy of Detroit, president of the
Michigan Central road, thus, express
ed himself:
I think that the Democrats have put
their foot in it as u.ual. Blaine was
rejected by the Republicans on ac
count of his questionable practices;
but, even if tho charges preferred
against Blaine aro true, they nro not
one-tenth as corrupt or dishonorable
as can be proved against Mr. Tiiden.
I say distinctly that ho is a fraudulent
and corrupt man. Ho is what may
be called o railroad "wrecker," and
out of whoso opportunities he has
made himself rich by dishonesty and
siiavp practices. He was Tweed's
couu.sel when the ring was in power
in Nev York, and lie aided the gang
by his counsel and shared in their
stealings-till they were exposed, and
then he t reach erousi- turned against
his associates-and ruined them. The
opposition ro Tiiden by Tammany is
perfectly natural under these circtim
ptances. The nomination of Tiiden
is not one fit to be made, and a party
must bo stun: very low in the mire of
degradation Jthafc would knowingly
select auch a standard-bearer. From
what I know of my own personal
knowledge in regard to other transac
tions in which he- has figured, I am
convinced that his whole war against
the New York Cana.l Ring was done
simply for political elleot, and also for
personal purposes.
A New Orleans paper, speaking of
the means tho Democracy will use, as
they have used, to carry Louisiana,
&a3TB :
The Republicans of the south nro
to be intimidated by the India.n strat
egy. "Shoot tho officers," is r.'ie or
der, and wherever a Rebublicau 'P
reseutative cannot bo defeated by thw
terror of his supporters he is to be
killed, openly, or by secret assassina
tion. Tho Democracy has been Iongsinct
convinced that tho American people
will not tolerate dishonesty in office.
It was proven when the Democratic
party was cast out by the reformers
under Harrison and Taylor. It was
manifested when the frauds practiced
under Buchanan were punished by
tho expulsion of himself and party.
The cowardly policy of intimidation
and slander has as an object to secure
the exolusion of all outsido interven
tion. It is that the Southern States
shall be lpft to the orn.ed and discip
lined democrats, who fear to meet
their equals in tho field, but who
would speedily, if guaranteed by the
election of a spcnnd Buchanan, ex
tinguish all suffrage and citizenship
except such as thoy themselves al
low. - .-tfc ;--" - -
The New Ark Advertiser speaking
of tho Governorships of Tiiden and
Dix, punctures the sails of the "great
reformer'' as follows :
And now comes in Sammy Tiiden
as the apostle of reform which had al
leady been accomplished and claim
ing the credit of all that Dix had
done. Ho could reduce the taxation,
because Dix had already restored tho
finances of tho State, and if Dix had
been ro-elected the reduction would
huvo been the same or greuler. It is
a theft of reputation for Tiiden to
claim for himself the credit of the
onerous work performed by the Re
pulican party. It is a meanness to
ward Gen. Dix, an act which in pri
vate life would stamp a man as a pre
tender and scalawag. With that re
duction of taxation tho Democracy
had no more to do than had any Jer
.seyman. They had opposed the meas
ures that made it possiulG.ljTid howl
ed extravagance against the Republi
cans because they had made good to
the treatury what tho Demociats had
plundered. Yet Tiiden is small
enough in soul to rob his great chival
rio predecessor of a credit which be
longs to him alone.
The President, it is reported, has
pardoned Wm. O. Avery, of Wash

that the President had issued a pa'r

general, the latter hays that it was a

There is oneFentence in tho letter
of the Hon. William A. Wheeler that
deserves to be emblazoned in letters

run up to tho mast head of the Repub

Liberty is tho supreme, unchange
able law for overi foot of American
soil. It is the mission of the Repub
lican party to give full effect to this
principle, by "securing to ovory
American citizen complete liberty
and exact equality in the exercise of
all civil, political, and publie rights."
This wiil be accomplished only when

to color, shall wear this panoply of
citizenship as fully and securely in

Washington-, D. C, July 20, 1870.
The large number of strangers iu
the city, en route to or coming from
the Centennial Exposition at Phila
delphia, affords one, having eomo
Yankee inquisitlveuess, a good oppor
tuuit3r to learn the temper of the peo
ple in different sections of the Union,
in view of a choice as between the
Republican and Democratic nominees
for President and Vice-President. I
have been industrious In seekiug in
formation on this subject, and I have
arrived at tho conclusion that the
country is as thoroughly Republican
in lS7Gas it was in 1S6S and 1S72.
It is said that the "mills of the gods
grind slow, but they grind exceeding
fino.' This refers to the gods of the
heathen, but this is equally applicable
to the Democratio House of Repre
sentatives, which goes the slowest
and grinds the finest of auy legislat
ive body known In modern history.
It is believed that between the sewer
filtered "spring water" furnished by
chairman of the Committee on Ac
counts, commonly called "Blue Jeans
Williams," the poor whi3ky smuggled
in for the Bourbon Democrats and the
hot weather, that the House will bo
compelled to bring this session to a
close, that even stuborn Sam. Randall
will have to weaken and permit the ap
propriation bills to pass.
Air. Randall's policy In the present
Congress is precisely opposite to what
ifc was when ho was a member of the
Republican House. Then he favored
the salary-grab bill, that gave each
raemtier nearly five thousand dollars
extra pay, voted for it and took his
share o trie stealing without a pro
test. HIi virtuous indignation was
not then ia a stato of active develop
ment when large appropiations for
any object W6re asked for, on the con
trary, he urgod the allowance of large
and extravagantappropriations. The
great change of pcJicy that has been
adopted by this man is susceptiblo of
but one reasonable explanation.
When ho was a member of a Repub
lican House he could make no politi
cal capital by acting- tho part of a par
tisan demagogue; nov. he assumes the
role of a reformer for political reasons,
hoping to induce tho pecple to believe
nntil after the next Presidential elec
tion that tho Democratio party, is a
reform party, Imbued with tho prin
ciples of honesty, economy and patri
otism. Is this change ono of prinoiple, or
of policy? Has his mind undergone
such a radical ohange as hi3 aoiioas
have? No, ho is the same unscrupu
lous politician and partisan dema
gogue as ever, one who always places
party above country. As a leader of
tho House he controls its action large
ly. Tln ox-Con feilarntas who, for the
first time have been sent to Washing
ton to help make the laws for the whole
people, defer to his judgment general
ly and follow his advice for the time
being, believing that he knows best
what measures will be the most popu
lar in the North, which is considered
Democratic missionary' ground. It is
only in the Northern States where
much effort is mado to convince the
judgment of tho peoplo lhat Democra
cy and reform are synonymous terms.
In tho Southern States Democracy has
a different method by which to obtain
and koep control of political power.
If a man oliora to vote the Republican
ticket In Georgia, or speaks in pub
lio in advocacy of Republican princi
ples, ho is in danger of having his
good name, his property, or his life
destroyed. Georgia can be carried for
the Democracy for any man, no mat
ter how mean or despicablo ho may
bo, standing on any platform, no mat
ter what it contains. The same may
bo truly said of Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, and
Kentucky, because these States are
now under tho political control of
the Democrats, who resort to fraud
and intimidation lo carry out their
schemes. Nothing short of a revolu
tion, or military protection to Repub
lican voters will ever release those
rStates from Democratic control until
the masses of the people aro educated.
Men of the North will you study this
question and apply tho remedy, or
will you selfishly rest contented and
each say, "its none of my business."
"I am not ray brotiier's keeper."
Was it none of your business when
the slave oligarchy ruled the country,
depriving four millions of its people
of all natural rights-? Somo of you
thought and said so then, but you
know better now. No State of this
Union can suffer from misgovernment
but what the whole country .suflers.
In a majority of the Southern States
Republican government la a mere
form, or rather a farce. The White
Liners nominate and elect whom Ihey
please within their States, and every
one of them is a Democrat.
Should tho Democratio party gain
control of the general government
through tho election of Tiiden and
Hendricks, the White Liners and ex
Confederatos would rule the country.
The strength of the Democratic party
will come from 'the South, and the
very men who are elected by fraud
ond intimidation will be in Congress
to unmake the old laws and make new 1
ones more to their liking. The men
who represent the dangerous elements
of societ- will then control the Gov
ernment in two of its branches, the
Executive and Legislative. Once
seated with the reins of power in their
hands the Judiciary could soon be
changed and reorganized so as to be
in harmony with tho other Depart
ments of power.
Does any candid unprejudiced man
think that reform of any kind can be
wrought out with such materials?
With tho country governed by men
who represent neither the patriotism,
the virtue, or the intelligence of tho
people ; governed by men who owe
their election to violence, or fraud, or
both : men who aro opposed to an
hone3t vote of tho people, who aro op
posed to the education of tho masses ;
men who havo struck hands with
Tammany Hall, with the Romish
priests of the country, with tho
White Lines and Ku Ivlux, and who
owe their election to such influences?
The question needs no'answer among
intelligent and fair-minded men.
The retirement of Mr. Jewell from
the Cabinet is not surprising to those
hero who are best acquainted with the
man and the circumstances. Liko
ex-Secretary Bristow, he was a candi
date for the Presidency, and as the
Cincinnati Convention did not nomi
nate him for that high office ho felt
disappointed, and the charms of offic
ial life speedily vanished. This is not
strange but the most natural thing
possible. No one but a political babe
that could be amused with a teething
ring ever believes that any man, be
he independent, or what not, would
continue to hold an. office for a great
length of time that affords "him neith
er profit, nor honor, and was not a
stepping stone to such a position ; on
the contrary, he would embrace the
first opportunity to vacate such an
office. Again, if a man has used his
ofiico as a stepping stone to the Presi
dency and fails, he feels a very natur
al contempt for the stepping stone, or
bridge that did not carry him safely
over to the great subject of his desire
and ambition. Thus we behold ma-nj-of
our self-styled political reformers
falling by the wayside. Bata.
TheNow York Commercial Advertis
er of June 2d, 1S7G, makes the follow
ing comment about tho great reform
er :
"Tiiden has made rotten and cor
rupt railroads pay in his profession,
as Tweed made jobber pay In his
lino of business. His connection with
the Fort Wayne, Cleveland and Pitts
burg, and the Pennsylvania Company
would, if somo of the inside fellows
some fellow in a tight spot, like In
gersoll whokuew all about watering
the stock of Fort Wayne from $12,
000,000 to $19,000,000, would divulge
astonish the public more than the
revelations of Ingersoll. Two years
ago la3t March, a legislative commit
tee met at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel to
investigate into tho Now York & Erie
railway company affairs. On the ex
amination of the Erie company, ifc
was found that $20,000 wa3 charged to
Simuel J. Tiiden for services. Tiiden
appeared before the committee to ex
plain that he had received only $10,
000 as arbiter in the executivo com
mittee of the Cleveland & Pittsburg
railroad company. Mr. Jay Gould
had previously testified that ho paid
Tiiden a fee of $10,000 for which he
never performed any services. Mr.
Williamson, the book keeper of the
Erie company, was put on tho stan d,
and he waa requested to look on page
37 by the Chairman of the Committee.
"Those two entries," enquired the
Chairman, "of legal services $10,000
to Mr. Tiiden you notice ono of
these has no date, sijrned by Mr. Til
den." Mr. Williamson responds : "I
cannot say positively ns to that. I
certainly should never put them down
here in this book any more than any
other, without a voucher for them."
We submit that this evidence of Wil
liamson, who never committed per
jury, and never was sent to State
prison, is quite as conclusive against
'X'lJJan sft Tuirorsolla's la aifainbt the
Tanjmany robbers. Let justice be
done if the heavens fall. Tiiden, who
wa3 the associate of those swindler's
for years, and turned States evidence
against J horn to secure political advan
tages, could not be expected to have
clean haudX His own confession of
receiving $i0,000 for services In a
most corrupt transaction is disgrace
ful enough."

We are asked, said E. A. Storrs, of
Chicago, in a recent speech, if we ap
prove of Grant, and if wo indorse him.
I do not suddenly change mj- opinion
of men. I have yet this to say: ttiat
when the memory of "We, the demo
cratio delegates," shall have perished,
when the generations to come will
havo forgotten that such men ever
lived, the real, solid, patriotic achieve
ments of U. ri. Grant will, growiug
brighter and brighter as the years
wear away, make a record for him that
shall beabsolutelyimperi&habje. In all
this terrible storm of obloquy and no
man has ever suffered more in the
frightful flood of calumny which has
been poured upon him silent, ond pa
tient, and steady, has he sat, conscious
that the hearts of the people boat with
and for.him.and conscious in his own
heart that ho never breathed a breath
that was not a patriotic one, and never
entertained a purpose, so far as this
not patriotic as well. ynw if that is
treason, make the most of it.
The White League Democray has
determined to carry the Southern elec
tion by a bloody conquest, if by no
ofche? means. They know that can
subjugate tho colored voter, and com
pel him to practically renounce his
suffrage, through fear of his life. They
think they can soisolato and proscribe
the white Republican that he will be
compelled to abandon the South.
There is but ono obstacle to thiH chiv-
alrous programme. It is fear. It is the
dread that a government constituted
to protect every citizen, everywhere,
will not stand by In terror of those
redoubtable knights of Cou3hatta.
Thoy fear the force of the lav. It
would seem that men pretending to
courage would scorn to reverso the
grand Roman maxim: yet iti3 done,
and the White Leaguer "only spares
tho strong to make war upon tho
weak." Chivalry, forsooth! Thechiv
alry of tho bravo and tho bandit.

Senator Hitchcock's record is as
good in point of political rectitude as
Blaine's or Garfield's, which wo all
respect. Butof corse our senior seuator
is not as good as the Omaha reformer
who biaokmailed tho postoffice, or
Beecher who kisses other men's wives,
or the fellows who peddled town lota
to get the capitol; but he has done
more for Western Nebraska than any
other man, living or dead. IZcpitb
