CHESTER A ARTHUR, . - ef-Jfew York, 3-HotDeoefrsa. - Tho Democratic part? dwuisc tho c-nly-Tecord .Gen. Hancock has-that of a soldier and put him up as a bait to catch tho Tote of Republican old soldiers. The Democratic party is a combina tion of political cowards -and dema gogues. "Why? The assertion is made from facts of its history. "Why did they choose Horace Gree ley as a candidate? Did he ever do anything to gain the love of the Dem ocratic party? No, there was not a drop of Democratic blood in Horace Greeley's veins, and they knew it well. They knew it had been the business of his life to aim death blows at the vi tals of Democracy. They assuming that he had entitled himself to the fa vors of the Republicans by his ability and loyalty to such an extent that they would follow him even when heading a ticket to defeat them, stultified them selves, played the coward and dema gogue by nominating him. The Dem ocratic party hated Horace Greeley, but hoped to gain power- over the gov ernment by dividing the Republican party by making a catspaw of him and using him as a stepping stone to the money boxes of Uncle Sam, tho rebel pensions, the payment of the hundreds of millions of rebel claims, and to all tho balance of tho cherished and pet dreams and schemes of rebeldom. In tho nomination of Hancock the Democracy have again shown their cowardice, their demagoguery. "Why did they not take a representa tive wan, as did the Republicans some ono of their number who had made a record said, or dono some thing favorable to Democratic prin ciples. They had plenty of Democrats Tvho had stood up in Congress, or tho Senate, and inculcated Democratic principles in fierce forensic battles with Conkling, Blaine, Garfield, Conger, Ed munds. They had a Blackburn who amidst applause declared the Democ racy would ultimately wipe out of tho Constitution and tue laws evcrv war measure. They had a Lamar who de clared in tho Senato true Democratic State rights doctrine, which ho said "includes the right of a State to secede when its people so determine." "Why didn't they take some such representa tive Democrat? Simply because they dare not bring out a man who has a Democratic record, and propose to evade a square issue with the Repub licans on doctrines and principles of tho two parties, and elect their man by votes drawn from the veteran soldier clement of the Republican party. Veteran soldiers, however much they may respect Gen. Hancock for what he has done to preserve this Union from the assaults of the Demo crats, should bo able to see beneath the thin covering of chaff tho trap, baited with an old comrado, set to catch you. That's a fair figure. Hancock is simply bait, and Democrats are now betting that a sufficient number of tho soldiers of Pennsylvania will be de ceived to give him the electoral vote of that State. Wade Hampton, after Hancock was nominated, pledged the solid South to him. The South i3 the section of this Union to which General Hancock must look for his electoral votes, and from that section will come his advisers, if elected, and his political inspiring. Thero is no pretence that ho is a states man, but the Democratic statesmen, who could not carry a single northern State on their own record and merits, will be at his elbow and ear to prompt him in his line of partisan duty. Is this not a plausible assumption? But "why does Hampton pledge the electoral vote3 of South Carolina and tho "solid south" to Hancock? Is it not reasonable to believe that tho lead er of the Democracy, in that State of 'ti3sno ballots" and red shirt riflemen, will -expect the government to be ad ministered according to tho will of the President's constituency, which recip rocal favor will involve tho stepping down of tho great Union General from his lofty position as a defender and protector of the supremacy of the na tional government, to that of a parti san tool ? By accopting tho candidacy at tho hands of these men he compromises his good namo as a Union General and bargains with tho enemies of tho na tional government to carry out their doctrines. Tho acceptance is the agreement Those who bcliovo in a solid "Union cannot follow a former loader into the camp of those who would on any con tingency break up the Union. "When Benedict Arnold left his old soldiers and wont over to the British he went alono they neither followed him nor indorsed his departure. Hancock has forfeited tho respect of his" veteran corps and every other soldier who fought for the sake of the Union, and not for greenbacks or glory, for he affiliates with whom? Not repentant robels, but with those in whose blood the fires of treason burn as rabidly as in 1SG3, and whose representatives, only a year ago, stood in the Congress of tho Nation hurling into tho faces of loyal people treasonable utterances as -flarkand damnable as those of Davis and Toombs when they onrsea tae Union, and .stepped out of those halls to load the armies mustering under the banner .bearing, the coiled reptile of trtQn. , -, .No,-ferotHer soldier, Hancock's flag is not ourflagin this battle. n mis oauie. - soldier candidate whotPb-eridiliPatclieb- We have a - 13 tha samo banner ho bore in tbe war. unaer k we rau luusbex wawu- out a missrivinz or doubt. "Wo have a soldier candidate, who wen$ out and fought the rebels, not in obedlance to orders, but -voluntarily not aa an au tomaton but as a patriot Gen. Han cock was in no respect the superior of Gen. Garfield, as a soldier, while in ev ery respect as a statesman is General Garfield the superior of General Han cock. Then let us stand by Gen. Garfield because he is not only our man but the better man. m m Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock was nominated on the 2d ballot, all the States being counted for him except Indiana. He was born in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, on St. Valen tine's day, in the year 1824, and is in the 07 th year of his age. He entered "West Point military school at 16,'grad- uated in 1844, received a Lieutenant's commission and has been in the regu lar.arrny eversince, servingin tho Mex ican war. He was made a Brigadier General at tho outbreak of the rebel lion. He was a good soldier, and stub born fighter, and enforced the orders of his superior officers efficiently and promptly, but never displayed great military genius, hence never acquiring the fame of Sheridan, Meade, Thomas, Custer, and others with whom he had more than an equal chance, even many volunteer Generals outstriping him, amongst them his present competitor for Presidential honors. The Chicago Times is eminently correct in saying Gen. Hancock "is nothing else but a soldier, and not a very brilliant one at that" Democratic newspapers fill the mouths of their Democratic readers with falsehoods regarding Gen. Gar field's connection with the Credit Md pilier, but none of them dare to publish the testimony of Oakes Ames and Gen. Garfield on that subject. AVe have read the whole matter carefully Ames testimony and Garfield's testi mony, speeches and defense, which are too lengthy for our paper. But we are prepared to say from the testimony that these sidewalk politicians and Demo cratic stumpers lie wilfully when they say General Garfieid ever at any time or under any conditions or circum stances, either owned or bargained for any Credit Mobilier stock, or received any amount of dividend on any sup posed stock of that nature; and we de fy them to the record and proof. The Brownville Advertiser no longer visits this office. "We have al ways regarded The Advertiser as one of our best state papers, and do so still. Pawnee Republican. After this bit of flatter-, the Repub lican proceeds to whine because we had cut him from our exchange list; then he strikes out and boasts about punch ing noses, and winds up with a dirty little lie. "We had not stricken the Re publican from our list, but will, as we cau get all the Pawnee news we want from the Enterprise, a much better pa per than the Republican. That's all Messrs. Hassler. "We used to hear about "northern men with southern principles." Han cock is a northern soldier with a south ern command; a Union leader of the rebel hosts; a loyal citizen relying on the votes of rebels and copperheads; a military figure head to u party ship whose pilots are rebel brigadiers whose crew are confederates to the core, and whose motive power is the solid rebel south. Omaha Republican. The above paragraph is full of incon trovertible truth. That great Democratic leader of the "solid South" asserted a few days ago that "the Southern Confedracy still ex ists." Does Hancock believe that? If bo is elected it will be by the "solid South" who believe stronger in Jeff Davis than they do in Hancock. "Would Hancock respect and carry out the will of his constituents ? If he does he will be a traitor to his country; if he does not he will be a traitor to his party. At the battle of Gettysburg General Hancock commanded the center of Meade's army, holding the position stubbornly and successfully against tho attacks of tho Democracy under Lee, slaughtering them fearfully. To day he is the candidate of the Democ racyof tho remnants of Lee's army, and their sympathisers. Verily time works wonders and politics makes strango bedfellows. The Okolona Southern Staks wanted Thurman, a rebel sympathiser, but has to take a man who directly uudor Grant at Richmond helped to smash the lifo out of tho rebellion. Mr Harper, what piles of crow you'll have to got away with; send us a paper so that wo may see how you relish it Last Thursday when the Democrats were firing the cannon and yelling for Hancock, a true Union officer, we could but feel a pleasure in the transitory hope that the Democratic party was becoming loyal. The Democrats are making such a fuss over their Union General that one may think they are going back on their rebel brigadiers. O, Democracy, thy name is ficklenss. Omaha Republican: The Democrat ic party have coudoned "fraud," recog nized the legitimacy of Hayes' title and repudiated "reform" all by sending the name of Samuel J. Tild6n into ev erlasting Limbo. urn t Indiana did not vote for Hancock, "When all the other States had gone over to him she stood firmly but lone ly with Tier 30 votes for Hendricks. Tilden Is a cunning old rascal and covered his tracks well. But bis sin "flnallv -floored him in the .ahaoa of New York City shows a population of 1,299,531. Thiladelphia has 842,000. Never before was there so eager a bid for to Presidency as TUden'a last one, but they snubbed him for all that "We can prove Gen. Garfield's case good by Democratic witnesses out of their own mouths we condem them now. But it's a case of Philip drunk and Philip sober. & Mrt English's bart nominated him; and Hancock has two bar'ls, being worth about $3,000,000. Money, tissue ballots, repeating, and shot guns are the dependence of the Democrats. The Chicago Inter Ocean recalls the fact that "Wm. H. English subscribed "one dollar" for the benefit of the suf ferers by the great fire of 1871. English is a rich banker, of Indiana polis. Had not those cypher dispatches been exposed, asthey were by the New York Tribune, Tilden would have been the Democratic nominee ; and the old fraud wanted it badly notwithstanding that glaring rascality of himself and party. The Democracy showed more sense than we gave it credit for when it stopped howling "fraud." and concealed its Confederate ears under the cocked bat of a Union General. State Journal. But its hoosier tail and hoofs of a foreign name, are very conspicuous. The Grant family never shows off to such resplendent advantage as when it is traveling. Democratic Paper. But at Richmond when the Grant family included Sheridan and nancock the Democrats had to look over their shoulders to see the Grant family "show off." English, of Indiana, present Demo cratic candidate for V. P. was a brill iant member of the tory organization known as "Knights of the Golden Cir cle." This was a secret society for in juring the Unioa cause as much as possible in the border States, to oppose the draft, etc. English was offered the command of a regiment by Gov. Morton, but de clined, and in person took no active part in the war. He got in his work on the rear of the Union forces. Omalui Republican. He preferred to be a leader in that assassin combination known as "Knights of the Golden Circle." The Hancock boom made a favorable impression at first; but it evaporates like the morning due. The Hancock boom will not wear worth a cent, and will be threadbare at the end of the campaign. Loyal people who thought at first of supporting him, reflecting upon rebel speeches in Congress a year ago, and of the crowd ho now musters in, drop him at once and join the Gar field clubs. The Democratic platform declares that tho democratic party loves and cherishes the noble workingman. That is why the second place on the demo cratic ticket was given to Mr. English, of Indiana, a bloated capitalist who earns his bread by the sweat of his gov ernment bonds. Globe Democrat. And Hancock holds several million in the same way. And from their po sitions in life is it probable they sym pathise much with working men ? The Chicago Times is very fair to ward General Garfield much more so than any other Democratic paper we know of. The Times recently publish ed' Gen. Garfield's vindication and makes this comment: "The Times publishes this morning the main portion of the pamphlet is sued by Gen. Garfield, in 1S73, in an swer to an explanation of the charges of participation in tho Credit Mobilier. It shows that no check, certificate, or receipt bearing his name or initials is in existence, and asserts that his only financial transaction with Oakes Ames was a loan of $300, whi$h has long since been paid." Judge Jerry Black is certainly not likely to whitewash any republican public man. His letter alone exoner ates Gen. Garfield. In that letter, dated February 15, 1873, he said: "From the beginning of the investi gation concerning the Ames use of the Credit Mobilier, I believed that Gen. Garfield was free from all guilty con nection with that business. This opin ion was founded not merely on my confidence in his integrity, buton some Hpecial knowledge of his case. I assert unhesitatingly that whatever Gen. Garfield may have done or for borne to do, he acted in profound ig norance of the nature and character of the thing Mr. Ames was proposing to sell. He had not the slightest suspi cion that ho was being taken into a ring organized for the purposo of de frauding the public, nor did he know that the stock was in any manner con nected with anything that came, or could come, within the legislative ju risdiction of congress. Judge Black is a Democrat whose mere word has always been gospel with the Democracy. Judge Black was on the committee that investigaled the Credit Mobilier matter. "Why am I for Hendricks?" exclaim ed Senator Voorheea. Xo one respond ing, Voorhees answered himself by sayinj': "I have fought by his side; I have struggled through many contests in times gone by."

L) It is to be hoped Hancock, if elected. wm not die ana leave tne onice to Eng lish, Gen. Hancock was a brave and suc cessful soldier, and is a loyal and en lightened citizen. But he is neither too chivalric a soldier or too patriotic a citizen not to depend for his election fsolely on the votes of Southern States carried by force and fraud in, the face of Republican majorities that would bo decisive did they dare, or were they able to assert themselves. Omaha Re-publirnn. On the evening of Gen. Garfield's nomination, the committee appointed to notify him personally he being "in") tho city of the great honor done him, found the General at his hotel. After Senator Hoar had in a few pertinent remarks informed him of the result of the 38th ballot, General Garfieid re plied: Mr. Chairman and Geotle5ien I assure you that the information ybu have officially given to me brings a sense of very grave responsibility, 'es pecially so in view of the fact that I was a member of your body a fact that could not have existed with pro priety, had I had the slightest expecta tion that my name would bq presented for nomination for tha office. I have felt with you great solicitude concern ing the situation of our party during the struggle, but believe that you are correct in assuring me that substantial unity has been reached. In conclusion, it gives me gratification far greater than any personal pleasure, your an nouncement can bring. I accept the trust committed to my hands. As to the work of our party and to the char acter of the campaign to be entered up on, I will take an early occasion to re ply more fully than I can properly do to-night. I thank you for the assur ances of confidence and esteem you have presented to me, and hope we shall see our future as promising as aire the indications to-night. The Valteblatt, leading German pa per of Cincinnati, after warning the Republicans that they have a strong 'candidate to contend against, says: We do not know whether General Hancock possesses the requisite quali ties of statesmanship or not; butwedo know that he does not and cannot pos sess the necessary experience in states manship. There is consequently great danger that "in case of his election he may become a tool in the hands of the Democratic Senators, as Grant was. the tool of the Republican Senatorial ring. Grant had at least eight years' experi ence in the Presidential chair, while General Hancock, as we have already remarked, has never held a civil office, and would be forced to rely for the de termination of political and adminis trative questions wholly upon his ad visers. That of the two Presidential candidates, General Garfield is the one who possesses the greater ability and experience in statesmanship, as well as being the greater General, and having the best literary culture, our Demo cratic friends will acknowledge. Unlike the Chicago convention, it will present a picture of free men. Wheeling Register. The Register draws a rosy picture of the Cincinnati convention. Hamburg Butler, Wade Hampton, Governor Ste venson, and men of that stamp, may, to some eyes, "present a picture of free men;" others will see in them the rel ics of human slavery, and upon their garments the stains of patriots' blood. The men who were cheered in the Chi cago convention were the marked ad vocates of "free men" in all tho past sad history of the nation. At Cincin nati the men who called out the wild est enthusiasm were those who have labored hardest to rivet chains upon la bor, and struck with a parricidal hand at the very life of the nation. Yes, they were "unlike;" one represents the nation's destroyers ; one has stood by the old flag and defended its lienor, while the other attempted its destruc tion, and cursed every star and stripe in it. Yes, the two conventions were "unlike;" which will the people choose from? Inter Ocean. Another reason for Gene' il Garfield's undertaking his own case and presentng it fully and squarely to the American public who between now and the mel ancholy days of November at their firesides and in the calm of their home circle are to pass judg ment upon his candidacy, is the absurd ignorance of the charges displayed by over-rapid journalistic ap ologists,''je Albany Journal, for in stance, which says: "De Golyer may have been guilty, "but he was awarded a trial, and was entitled to counsel. Gen. Garfield acted :is such, profession ally, just as others lawyers do when their services are sought by the parties accused. But who thinks of holding a lawyer as a participant in the crime of his client?" --- "When the Dubuque Herald .says that "General Hancock's name will give the people confidence in the Dem ocratic party," it expresses tho hope that impelled the Cincinnati conven tion to choosnhim. They selected him not as an exponent of the party's pur poses, but as a mark of respectability. The hope will never be realized. Por tunately for the country no name can give the people confidence in that which is named Democracy; unfortun ately for General Hancock, however, the Democratic party can cause the people to loose confidence in any name that is employed to hido its sins. Inter Ocean. Baltimore, June 4th. On Sunday the fast train controversy goes back to the shape it assumed when the Baltimore and Ohio first announced its new f;ist schedule. TheFort Wayne, the Viinda lia, the Pan Handle and the Pennsylva nia all put off their speciaUfasttrains and resume old time schedules, This however, will not affect the fast time schedule of the Baltimore and Ohio in tho slightest, it continuing in the force exactly the same as announced on the 2ad ult. The lightning express trains from and to Chicago will leave at 5.13 p. m., and arrive at 8.30 p. m. as daily since the new schedule went into effect The contrasts between the Repub lican convention at Chicago and the Democratic convention at Cincinnati are, in many particulars, so marked as to be startling. At Chicago tho dele gates who were cheered 'when they en tered the hall were men' like Conkling, Logan, and Garfield, who had been identified with tho struggle to preserve the Union. At Cincinnati fho delegates to receive the most cheers is' Wade Hampton prominent because of his fight against the Union. Inter-Ocean. "Xow." said a citizen of Rawlinsi Wyoming Territory' at a-rrecenfcdanee, "you see that heifer inareddress;that's my wife; au' ef yer dance with her inore'n two times, pard, I'll shute the hull top uv ver head off. What'H yer drink?" Omaha Republican: It was no thanks to New York and to Tilden that' Gen. Hancock was nominated. New York voted solid for Randall after Hancock' nomination was a forgone conclusion. All is not well at Gramercy. Omaha Republican: Gen. Hancock will get no republican soldier votes. The republican soldier boys have a republi can candidato of their own, and his name is G. A. R.-field. "The domination of Hancock a Mistake." Chicago Times, "It is not a nomination that can be said to fulfill the party's opportunity. It never had a more favorable oppor tunity to bring " to the front a new political leader; one who would give promise of leading the party out of the old political graveyard and onward to anew and hopeful future of po litical activity, Gen. Hancock has fur nished no evidence of good capacity for political leadership.' "He is nothing but a soldier, and not a very brilliant one at that Educated for the profession of arms, he has al ways pursued that profession, and rose by personal gallantry during the civil war to the rank of a major gener al ; though he never held an indepen dant command, and never gained a victory. "It was when commander of the military district of New Orleans, in 1807, that he chiefly gained public note by the tenor of his military orders, declaring that the true function of the military, after armed rebellion had been put down, was to uphold the civil power in the normal exercise of its functions. This, he said, would be the guiding principle of his action; but he at the same time announced that any forcible obstruction of the laws would be 'instantly suppressed by arms.' Theso orders were put forth with a good deal of declamatory flourish about 'free institutions' and 'the great prin ciules of American liberty: a style of superllous magniloquence that greatly tickled the effusive southerners, anu led them to regard Gen. Hancock as a northern man with southern ideas.' "Ever since, the southern politicians have been favorably inclined toward him as a presidential possibility a circumstance not likely to strengthen his candidacy at the north. His name was brought before the convention of 1808; but the object of presenting a man who was nothing but a soldier in opposition to one who, though also nothing but a soldier, was a more fa mous one, caused it to be received with little favor. It was then believed to bo the true policy of the party to pre sent an eminent civilian, of known capacity for political leadership. The foundation of that belief was good in 1808, and is equally good now. If the party at Cincinnati had fulfilled its op portunity, it would have chosen for its leader a statesman, not a mere soldier. "As regards the military record of the two men General Hancock and Mr. Garfield may be regarded as stand ing on the same platform. The mili tary records are perhaps equally good. But, while one stands on nothing but his military record, the other has gain ed the widest 'repute as one of the foremost among the ablest of our living statesmen. "The rejection of Tilden takes the hypocritical 'fraud issue' out of the combat. "What remains? There re main the important political questions that have been raised by the action or attempted reaction of this congress. Upon these political questions it is now more than ever likely the presidential canvass will be conducted. Evident ly, in such a controvery, the party that has taken for its leader a statesman who has shown himself to be one of its very ablest leaders, will enter the contest with an important advantage over the party that has passed by all its statesmen and taken for its standard-bearer a soldier with no experience or known faculty of political leader ship. "Therefore it is that the nomination of General Hancock is a mistake, if not a blunder. He is not the man for lead er of a political party in this, or in any other political emergency." GAEHELD'S BACKPAY. THE nECORD "Washington, June 26 The follow ing letter explains itself: Treasury Dep't. Washington, Office oftheSecretary. Juno 22, 18S0. II. Drusey, Esq., East D&s Moines, Iowa. Sir: I reply to your letter of the 17th inst, asking to be informed on what date the Hon. James A. Garfield paid into the Treasury his back pay, and how the Treasury books show this transaction. I have to inform you. it appears from the records of this office that the sum of 84,343 was deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States in the name of James A. Garfield, on accountof "retroactive in crease of salary," on the 22d day of April, 1STJJ, and that this amount was covered into the Treasury by miscella neous covering warrant, No. 704, second quarter, 1873, and cannot be withdrawn except by act of Congress. Very respectfully, J. K. Upton, Assistant Secretary. Senator Paddock's Good Work. The passage of the homestead bill du ring the expiring hours of the senate was due to the exertions of Senator Paddock. It will be of incalculable b enefit to the frontier settlers, as it el iminates the requirement in the existing law of a published notice of final proof on homestead cases. Although but little legisation of a public character was passed at the late session, it is a noticeable fact that all the bills which benefit the settlers in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and the Territories, were introduced and passed through by the influence ot the republican senators and representatives of Kansas and Nebraska. Senators Thurman, Wallace and Bayard, congratulated Senator Pad dock in having secured more legislation for the benefit; of his constituents than any other one member in the body. Neb. City Press. Hancock not the Man. Said the Chicago Times on Thursday morniug, a few hours before Gen. Han cocks nomination: It is not to be supposed that 171 del egates or any considerable fraction of that number have any honest desire to see Gen. Hancock nominated, or any real intention to bring bis nomination about. The democratic party can not stultify itself by putting any mere mili tary man in the field. A. record of loy alty during the war is, no doubt, essen tial, but the party can not afford to go to the extreme of nominating a man who is nothing else but a soldier, and not a very brilliant one at that. Han cock is emphatically not the man for the occasion. The party cannot accept him as its candidate. Its capacity for blundering is undoubtedly great, but the chances are altogether against its making this blunder. It is a pleasant thought that a part of the Sermon on the Mount is renewed every year on the hills of Palestine. Not far, says a recent wanderer in in Holy Land, from the spot whence the Savior taught the multitude, our guide plucked two flowers, supposed to be of the beautiful race to which our Lord alluded when he said; 'Consider the lilies of the field.' Splended is the flower with its lilac and white, and calyx of crimson velvet, and a monarch, indeed. Truly, in 'all his glory Solomon was not arrayed like one of these. Eefaeed a Priest. The New York World, a Democratic paper, in its issue of November 14th, 1879. published the following: "Washington, Nov. 13. The men tion of Gen. Hancock's name in con nection with the presidential nomina tion has led, as his friends supposed it would lead, to spiteful outcroppings over the hanging of Mrs. Surratt, an affair which his official position Just after the war compelled him to direct A few days ago, in the Indianapolis Journal, an interview was printed about Gen. Hancock, of which the fol lowing is part: "The Democrats can't nominate Gen. Hancock," said a Catholic priest to me the other day, in response to my ex pression of opinion. ""Whv not?" I asked. "Because," he said, with much feel ing, "he hanged Mrs. Surratt without cause and persecuted ner ior ner relig ion." "I don't see how he hanged her, said I, "more than Gen. Holt, who waa judge advocate, or Stanton, who was secretary of war, or Andy Johnson, who was president. "Hancock," exclaimed the priest "had her immediate custody, and he absolutely refused to let her see her clergymen or any clergyman of her church after she was sentenced. He did all he could to send the woman to ; but no doubt her earnest request for clergy was passed to her credit in the books beyond the 3ky." "I never heard of that," I said. "Well, Catholics have," said the priest, "and if Hancock should arise and have the impudence to ask for Catholic votes, they would bury him under their indignation." It looked like a hopeful sign for the Cincinnati convention when its first session was opened with prayer by Rev. C. "W. Wendte, who was formerly of Chicago, and it now appears that his selection was attended by quite a spirited discussion in the local com mittee having such things in charge. In fact, they had quite forgotten until the last moment that any sort of relig ious exercises was in order in a Dema cratic meeting, and then some one sug gested the name of Mr. "Wendte. ""What is "Wendte V" asked Colonel Robinson, the chairman. "Oh," said one of the committee, "he is a Unitarian." "Never mind his religion," said Col onel, Robinson, "1 don't care what his creed is, I want to know his politics." No one could enlighten the Colonel, and he continued: "I'll be d d ir anybody but a Democrat shall open that convention with prayer." Mr. Long "Well, Brother Robinson, I am afraid a Democratic preacher Avill be a hard thing to find. "We used to have Brother Chalfant, but, since he deser ted us and went over to the Republi cans, we have been left in the dark." Robinson "All I have to say is, if I can't get a Democratic preacher, 111 be d d if there will be any praying." Nevertheless, it would appear that the Colonel was overruled, for thecan vention did have praying, and it was done by Mr. "Wendte. THE QUEER. A Hew and Dangerous Counterfeit. The Secret Service Department at Washington have information of the existence of a $100 counterfeit note on the National Exchange Hank of Balti more, Mil. It is from the same plate, as the counterfeit Pittsburg Nation I JJanli of Commerce, Ptnnsylcania, and fully as daugerous. The following points should serve to discover the true character ot any note of this particular issue: General points of all counterfeit S100 notes Eyes of signers of Declar ation of Independence, very prominent and unnatural. Top of "S" under eagle in shield passed under first arrow in claw of eagle. It lies orer the arrow in genuine. In words other debts the R" joins the "D" in the counterfeit, while in the genuine they are very distinctly separate. Place a straight edge at bottom of the words "with the U. S. Treasurer at Washington" letting the edge extend to the figure of Liberty, and it strikes the lips of said figure in the genuine. Apply the same test to the counterfeit and it strikes the base of chin. The face of man in bow ot boat on lower left end of note resem bles death's head. SPECIAL POINTS. Black dot under letter S in abbrevia ted word of Cash "r in genuine note; there is none in the counterfeit. The J in July strikes the shading of 1 in the word National in the counterfeit, while in the genuine it does not reach to within 1-32 of an inch of the shad ing. In the heartshaped figure at the left end of the panel containing thei word Baltimore eight lines appear in the counterfeit; in the genuine only seven are seen. The border containing tho word and figure "Hundred" in the genuine is square jointed at the corners, and poorly done. In the counterfeit no joint is seen, and the workmanship is smooth. All National Bank notes of the denomination of S100 should be tested by the general points herein given. A New Short Line to the East. AQuincy, III special says: Henry root, president, and other officers of the Quincy, Missouri and Pacific rail road, are in New York City, and it is understood that the formal transfer of their road to the Wabash management took place Monday. The road is com pleted to Milan, Mo., and adds over 100 miles to the Wabash road. The latter corporation are taking active measures for the extension of the road westward to the Missouri river.
