WEDNESDAY, NOV. 24, 1875.
The influence of Moody and
Raukey seems to be felt, not only Id
the Brooklyn Itink, where their spe
cial services are held. Dr. Crosby, of
the rresbyterlan Church, and Dr.
Tyng, of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, both men of the very highest
influence are giving them encourage
ment. They are encouraged by the
hearty co-operation of leading minis
ters In all the Evangelical Churches.
The influence of the great evangelists
is spreading all over the country and
the proepects are that the coining win
ter will be a Reason of (treat awakening
on the subject of leligton.
One by one the American Is
read in if its Democratic cotemporaries
out of the party. Our good friend Jno.
E. Helms, of the Morristown Gazette,
has received a warning note, and if he
does not walk up aod toe the Demo
cratic mark made by the big organ at
Nashville, he mu?t go overboard with
the other wicked Jonah's of the party.
The American contrasts what the
Gazette has said heretofore, and then
proceeds to take it to task for express
Ing satisfaction with Senator Key.
You have bad ample warning now,
John, and if you stray oiTin thebroud
aod beaten road and find yourself
classed by the American, on the tide
ofthegoats.it is your own fault. If
you can not say " Shibboleth" for the
Nashville paper you're a " goner" sure
as fate.
Hon. H. R. Revkls, Ex-United
States Senator from Mississippi, has
written a letter to the President, in
which ho accounts for the defeat of
too Republican party in that State.
He says :
I can not recognize, nor do the masses of
icy people who read recognize, the majori
ty of the officials who hare been in power
or the past two years as Republicans. We
Jo not beliere that Republicanism means
corruption, theft, and embezzlement. These
three offenses hare been prevalent among
a great portion of our officeholders ; to
lhem must be attributed tue defeat of the
Republican party in the State, if defeat
there was, but I, with all the lights before
ma, look upon it as an uprising of the peo
ple, the whole people, to crush out corrupt
men and rings from power.
Mr. Pease, Postmaster at Vicks
burg, who has been somewhat notori
ous in the public prints, has this to
tay about the intimidation of colored
voters :
The intimidation was not open and
bloody, but done covertly, but effectively,
and iu such a manner as not to bring the
(perpetrators within the letter of the law.
For instance, Democrats, at all their meet
ings, met armed with snot guns, rifles, pis
tols, and other weapons, and never lost an
opportunity of displaying them, and firing
them off in the presence of the negroes.
They paraded the country in armed bands
saving with them, frequently, pieces of
artillery, which they would Bre at regular
intervals on the various plantations, ter
ribly frightening the negroes, bat injuring
Ueno.
At laet the remains of poor Gui
bord sleep quietly in the grave. For
weeks he has been the innocent cause
of much contention, and the fact
that be has been buried without blood
-shed is looked upon as fortunate.
The strong arm of the military power
was invoked to preserve peace. This
display of religious fanaticism would
have excited less comment in the
days of Bloody Mary, when the stoke
aod fagot were the arguments used to
convince hated heretics, but iu me
nineteenth century it is ont of
place, and is noticed as something
extraordinary, even in priest-ridden
Montreal. The most horrible displays
of cruelty, and the most wonderful
developments of fanaticism, have been
made in the name of religion, and this
is not an exception.
Skvkuai, papers in the State,
among them the Evening Ago of this
aty, have been ventilating Dr. Max
well, tho head of tho Grange Organ!
zilion in this State, because he has
recommended the Nashvillo American
to tho Patrons of Husbandry in Ten
nessee. "We think their complaint is
jnat. liohu.J no right, if we under
ni auymicg aixuii that organ iza
tion, to recommend to the members
thereof a bitterly partisan paper as
their organ. Mr. W. A. Simpson, the
lirst man iu the State who belonged
o the Patrons or uusuanury, gives
the Knox villo Ciiiio.vkt.k credit for
publishing tho first article which ap
peared in a Tennessee newspaper on
tho subject. We have never been
unfriendly to tho Grange movement.
We are not so extremely partisan as
the American, yet we would not as
sume to be nm organ of tho organ i
ation.
THI? DEAD (STATESMAN.
In tho death of Henry Wilson,
Vice-President of tho United States,
the Nation has lost one ot its brightest
jewels. As a man, ho was honest,
true to principle, earnest in the advo
cacy of what he believed to be right,
zealous in (loins; good, upright in all
his transactions, and faithful to every
trust. In a long and useful public
life, he has never been guilty of per
sonal dishonesty or corruption of any
character. Honesty was the pre
dominant trait in his character. He
was a statesman of broad and liberal
views, just to all, zealously pursuing
the ri"ht ns he saw the right.
Henry Wilson was tho very highest
typo of a self-made man. P.oru in
poverty, surrounded by circumstances
the most adverse, unaided by wealthy
or influential friends, he worked his
way up, by his own unconquerable
will and unyielding purposes, and by
his indomitable energy to the next
highest office in tho country. He
not only held the highest offices within
the gift of a grateful and appreciative
people, but he filled them faithfully,
elUcicntly and with distinction.
Coming ns he did lrom the lower
walks of life, he knew how to sympa
thize with the toiling thousands. He
was a true friend of tho workingman,
and showed his friendship by mani
festing a profound interest in every
thing pertaining to his welfare. All
that lie did in this behalf bore the
impress of honesty, and was free from
that miserable demagogism which
characterizes so many who make
loud professions of sympathy for
the masses of laboring men. He was
the friend of tho oppressed wherever
found. It was this that led him to
oppose African slavery, and to fight
that institution with all his power un
til it was abolished. His great ability,
his zeal and earnestness, his upright
ness and purity of character all com
bined gave him great influence,
and naturally constituted him a
leader in whatever cause he espoused.
5Ir. Wilson, though very zealous in
the advocacy of his views, and al
ways progressive and up with the
times in which he lived, was not a
fanatic. His was a well balanced
mind, and he succeeded through pru
dence, caution and industry, rather
than bv enthusiasm, bluster and
noise. He was always cool and de
liberate in whatever he undertook,
never went into anything wjtuout a
purpose in view, and never had u
purpose that was not creditable in the
highest degree. He was always relia
ble, always safe and always success.
ful. Though in the Senate since 1855,
except while Vice President, ho never
made money except by his legitimate
salary, and never was suspected of
corruption.
He tva3 a model which young men,
especially those struggling with pov
erty, may well emulate. He was a
living example of what a man may
accomplish by the exercise of tho
virtues of honesty, industry, economy,
prudence, and perseverance. The
humble farmer boy, the obscure shoe
maker, goes to his grave mourned by
a bereaved Nation that has lost one
of its purest patriots and greatest
statesmen. As long as liberty and
freedom sr nored and desired, and
as long as cirtue is respected, the
name of Henry Wilson will bo ro-
merebered. Peace to his ashes !
The President is close closeted, figuring
on bis milage to show stupid tax-payers
how easy it is to pay aaon-interet-beariog
with an interest-bearing liability.
The foregoing paragraph we copy
from one of our State exchanges, of
the Democratic persuasion. As it is
from a paper never guilt)' of perpe
trating anything original, we tukc
it as the echo of some unreliable par
tisan sheet like the Cincinnati En
quirer. The impression Bought to be
made by the stupid paragraph, is that
the President lias or will favor the
payment of a noii-inlerest-bearing
with uu interest-bearing liability.
Such tin impression is false, as every
man of commou intelligence knows.
The only change made by the Gov
ernment recently in regard to liabil
ities is to tako up bonds bearing six
per cent, interest and replacing them
with five per cent, bonds.
Paragraphs like the above come on
ly from extreme partisan sources, and
are written with a full knowledgo that
they nro utterly false. Tho man who
wot. Id write such a paragraph must
have mi- 'cecdingly poor opinion of
the i .itcL.gencc of newspaper readers.

THE
DEMOCRATIC
SHIRT.
BLOODY
A blood-curdling story is given cir
culation just now in some of the Dem
ocratic papers. It comes from Wash
ington, and its author is a Democratic
Federal officeholder, whoso " poverty
and a starving family" compels him to
accept a subordinate position from
the Government, to retain which he
has to pretend to be " the strongest of
Radicals."' lie accidentally came in
possession of the facts which is nothing
more nor less than a plot on the part
of certain " fanatics at the North" to
murder every " Member of Congress
who has been elected by tho shed
ding of negro blood," which the au
thor of the terrible story construes
into " every member of the South
who is a Democrat." The fact he
hastens to communicate to Senator
Gordon, of Georgia, and that gentle
man furnishes it to the Atlanta Her
old, which journal publishes it with
a profusion of ornamental andsensa
tional head lines. This is the story,
and it is very fortunato that
it came out in time, for now
tho victims can wind up their earthly
affairs and square their accounts for
another world, before they are called
upon to shuffle off their mortal coil. It
would be horrible to havo them cut
off in the blossoms of their sin.
Unhousel'd, disappointed, unaneled ;
No reckoning made, but sent to their ac
count With all their imperfections on their bead.
There would havo been something
horrible, we say, in rushing offalotof
Democratic Congressmen in such a
way. But tho time is too short any
way. Men who have so much to re
pent of ought to have a longer time
in which to do it, and wo trust these
bloody minded Northern fanatics will
postpone the massacre at least a
month. But if this can not bo done,
lot the undertakers be notified, so that
they may have all things in readiness.
The Washington gossipers, who.
when tliey havo nothing else to write.
amuse themselves with predictions of
Cabinet changes, aro now writing
Postmaster-General Jewell out. They
say he is ging out of tho Cabinet
right away. Some of them fix his
resignation as late as January 1st.
Tho fact is, no doubt.tho wish is father
to the thought in this case. Tho only
class of men who oppose hoiesty and
clllciency in tho Administration are
partisan Democrats, who would pre
fer that tho President should bo sur
rounded by thieves and imbeciles.
The Postmaster-General is too effi

WANTING
NO WAR WITH SPAIN.
Tho question of a war with Spain
as been exciting some attention in
ids country for several days past,
i'liere has been a diversity of opinion
:i the subject. Some were confident
''nit preparations were being made
Kith in this country and in Spain for
ich nn event. The letter alleged to
ive been written by Don Carlos to
'.ing Alfonso, proposing a truce until
;'gotiations, or, in case negotiations
liled, until hostilities ceased between
pain and the United States. But it
: urns out that war has not been scri
nisly expected in official" circles.
The United States made certain
lemands for tho better protection of
:!io rights of American citizens in
Cuba, and Spain has yielded. Neither
war with Spain, the purchase of Cuba,
nor tho suppression of the rebellion
with Cuba, has had anything what
ever to do with the negotiations.
The local authorities in Cuba
have manifested a disregard or
rather an indifference to the rights of
Americans, and it was thi,s indiffcr
ence and disregard that the President
wished to correct, through Minister
dishing. A Washington special to
the Cincinnati Commercial of Friday
morning says the precise nature" of
the request from Mr. dishing pro
scntcd to the Madrid Court was " for
a more careful observance of tho terms
of the treaty of 1795. bv which
American residents in Cuba will be
afforded more efficient protection."
I he same special says :
" Tho Spanish Government was not proba
bly willing to go to the length thought
desirable by our Government, but it has
made concessions that are considered, for
the lime being, satisfactory, and tho subject
as between the two Governments is drop
ped, at least for the present.
" Several circumstances conspired to ere.
ato the recent excitement concerning i
threatening rupture of peace. In the first
place tho Associated Press dispatch from
this city, regarding the attitude of the
country toward Spain and Cuba. This dis
patch was taken bodily and verbatim from
the letter of instructions given to Minister
dialling in February, 1874. The full let-
tor wss printed with the message and
accompanying documents last December,
Those facts were stated in voiir columns
inrao weeks ai;o.
"In the public mind the questions
became somewhat mixed, and for
a while, notwithstanding vigorous protesta
tions from tho President and tho Cabinet
that no rupture of the friendly relations
was imminent, there seemed to be reason to
apprehend the very worst. Back of this
there was and is undoubtedly a ring on
Wall street which has funned the flames
the hope of affecting the gold market, and
they have spared no pains or money to ac
complish their purpose."
The statement here given, in refer
ence to tho Cuban Ring, is explana-
tory of the whole of it. They have a
lot of bogus bonds, upon which they
expect to make money dishonestly,
and to this end they wonld like to get
up on excitement whether there is a
basis for it or not.
Tke Washington Republican of
Friday morning in an editorial on this
subject says :
" How the i'resment ana Gov. Fish are
aware of these peculiarities of the Spanish
Gqvernment, and, instead of being at vari
ance regarding the manner in which
they should be treated, have been In
thorough accord, their joint object being to
secure prompt and reciprocal, as well as
amicable, compliance with all the obliga
tions imposed upon Spain by the treaty of
1795, and subsequent agreements of the
same character. In doing this tbey have
not hesitated to point out in the mct dis
tinct manner what they beliove to be the
inevitable result In the future of the
present condition of affairs in Cuba, viz
The independent of the Island of
r.uropean control- Hut they nave never
threatened a recognition of that independ
ence as the alternative of any act or failure
to act by the Spanish Government. He-
lying upon the intelligence, patriotism and
patience of the American people, they hav
avoided giving publicity to their proceed.
ings even when provocation has been given
to them to do so by publications of Spanish-
inspired ainertions regarding the progress
and condition of pending negotiations. It
is therefore impossible that any definite
and authoritative information beyond the
statements above male can now be mad
public regarding what they have done or
intend to do.
"This explanation will probably seivo
to relieve public anxiety, aud to contradict
the wild aud broad assertions recently mad
that war is imminent between Bpnin an
tho United plates."

The Bridal Tower.

There were three of them. One was
a bride, the other a happy groom with
red ears ana maiden whiskers, and tue
third was tue pride's mother. Tbey

well satisfied. Pretty soon the groom
went out, and when he returned be
threw live pop-corn balls and a big bar
of peanut eaudy into the bride's lap
and banded the old lady another. She
turned up her nose, raised her specta
cles, and thus addressed the young man
with red ears:
" See here, Peter White you are mar

" Why, ot course."
" And I have n right to feel an In

Peter was released from the old lady's

Prince John.
Many nre the anecdotes that have
been published of the late John Van
Bureu, but the following will be new
to the readers of the Drawer : During
his father's Presidential term, "Prince
John," then a very young man, 1il
dulged in many playful performances
that were not altogether a delight to
the paternal. On one of his visits to
Washington the Prince stopped at
Willard's where his father came, and,
after a kindly greeting, said: " John,
I hoped you would some time prove to
be a worthy representative of our
futnily, but I fear you never will; in
fact, I uni convinced that yon will
bring disgrace rather than reflect credit
upon it."
"Father," said John, "you may
think, because you happen to be Presi
dent of the United States, that you are
something more than an ordinary niau ,
but permit me to say that you never
will be knowu in history except as the
fatherof John Van Buren." F.ditor's
