His speech was devoted mamly to the consideration of the claim that the present prosperity of the nation is due to republican legislation, and cited as a signifi cant fact that only in 1879, with the house and senate both democratic, were we enabled to float our four per cent, bonds at par. "The American people do not owe their present prosperity to either republican or democratic law-makers. They owe it first and above all to the blessings of the Almighty, who has given them unbounded crops with which to feed the famishing masses of Europe ; next to the forced economy and retrenchment in private and public expenditures rendered necessary by the disasters of 1873 , and lastly to the thrift, energy and skill of our farmers, planters and mechanics, which have made us large exporters to the marts of the world not only of the surplus products of our soil, but a so of works of American invention and skill. it as to in Resolutions were read and adopted, and letters of regret because of the absence of the writers were announced. Senator Bayard was then presented to the Vast throng and was received with long con tinned applause and waving of bats and handkerchiefs. He made a long speech, dis cussing many questions which enter into the presidential contest. He said that time has changed the population of the south as well as the north. A new generation of men and women who could have had but little to say or do in relation to the war of '61 now occu pies and controls the country. Of the charge that in the event of democratic, success the war debts ol the south, loss of slaves and claims lor other losses growing out tf the war, pensions for their wounded, etc., would be paid out of the United States treasury, Bayard said : "The best reply to all these wild, malicious and foolisli assertions is that such payments would be impossible. The good sense or honesty of that, man is serious ly to be impugned who does not read in the plain mandate of the fourteenth amendment the absolute seal of illegality and nullity set upon all such claims. Having been tor a number of years in Washington, 1 have learned w '10 were the real beneficiaries of the claims paid by congress 111 the past ten years of the class and stylo of "southern claims," and in almost every instance a great part of the money flowed into the pockets of north ern and very 'loyal' assignees who had bought up these claims for a song from their impecu nious owners. At a great gathering of lepub licati ladies and gentlemen last week there were lawyers, bankers and statesmen who had more money in their pockets from south ern claims, allowed by republican commis sioners and republican courts, than the poor south ever received since the war or ever will receive from now until the day of judgment." The cry of "solid south" received attei tion, and Bayard said : "The south is not solid for anything dangerous to the welfare of the whole people, nor do I apprehend that it will be. Its solidity lias no feature and no result unfriendly to the prosperity of the en tire union." In relation to the erudition of business and society in the southern states, Bayard jiioteil freely from papers by Edward Atkin son, of Massachusetts, and published, in tiie Fortnightly lleeiew, in which appeals these passages : "The total production of gold and silver by the mines, mountains and rivers of the whole world for 27 years has been $4,400, 987,000 ; and Hie American cotton crop for the Iasi 10 years amounted to from $2,500 000,000 to $3,000,000.000 in cold values.' "Since 1805 an industrial revolution has occur red in the states made free by the war such as never before occurred." "On the surface them lias appeared to be niisgovernment fraud, political disturbances, want of stability, and sometimes even violence, but underlying this surface, apparently so deeply agitated, the gieat industrial forces hare been quietly ami surely working to the end indi cated by the great crops of cotton. The ten last crops marketed exceeding the last ten anti-war crops by nearly 650,000 bales, while the crop now being marketed will be far lar ger than any ever before grown. Violence and anarchy can not have been Hie rule in section that has produced greater crops for sale and has, at the same time, been more self-sustaining than ever before in history." Speaking ot the prosperity of the nation and of the production of sugar, tobacco and rice, Bayard said: "And yet, our domestic production ot the last two articles is only in southern states, and tobacco is chiefly produced there. Of the tobacco crop, from two-fifths retained and manufactured in the L nited States over thir ty eight millions of dollars ot revenue have been derived in the last tiscal year. VV ilh the executive power ot this government in the hands of an administration just and friendly towards every section how trifling will even the great present be to the great tuturc pros perity that awaits us."

Chicago, Sept. 23.—The Inter Ocean special says: The agents sent to South Caro lina to investigate the alleged census frauds have returned and are now preparing their reports to Gen. Walker. The nature ot the report it is impossible to learn, as Gen. Walker forbids any intimation of its purport to be given out until completed and submit ted to Hie secretary of the interior. It is gen erally believed, however, that the agents dis covered frauds ot a very serious nature. Tin South Caiolina papers spoke of them as spies anil informers and, in short, manitested such an unfriendly spirit as to arouse suspicion, an ilfrom this fact and from hints dropped at the census otliee it is regarded as evident that fl uids have been found in the census of that slate sufficient to warrant its retaking by an other set of supervisors and enumerators,and botli Sec.

New York, Sept. 24.—The llera/d pub nsues a letter of a correspondent wlio accom panied the Schwatke expedition to King Wil tiaras Land, Tlie story refers more particu larly to the incidents of the great sledge journey. This is supplemented, however, by the discovery ot relics and the examination ot native witnesses, which leads to the sad conclusion that the fate of the officers and crew ot the Erebus and Terror was terrible even to the utmost limit of imagination, and that the records of the Franklin expedition are lost beyond recovery. Old men and women of the Esquimaux tell the story of those who were, doubtless, the last survivors of those unfortunate vessels, with minute ness ol detail and evident truthfulness which place their fate beyond doubt. Of what be came of their great leader and the large num ber of men wlio constituted the crew nothing could he discovered. Only a small party of officers, black about the mouth, with no flesh on their bones, is seen dragging a boat across tlie ice, and then they disappear, and nothing more is seen of them until their skeletons are found under their boat, and in a tent, a prey to wild beasts, and with the dreadful evidence that they had been driven to feed 011 the weaker of their companions liefere finally yielding to starvation and cold. Such is the sad conclusion which discoveries of this expedition irresistibly lead to. That what records there were of the Franklin ex pedition wore with this party is also evident from the testimony of tlie natives, who natu rally considered them of no importance, and by whom they were allow ed to lie around as playthings for the children, until they were eventually destroyed. tlie the the for tlie at Hancock on the Southern Claims, New, Y'ohk, Sept. 24.—Tlie following let r is published. First came one from Theodore Cook, of Cincinnati, asking Gen. Hancock for an authoritative declaration whether, if elected president, ho would con sent to the payment of claims of rebels for losses during the war. Following is Gen. Hancock's reply: Governor's 1st. and, N. Y ., > September, 23, 1880. \ To Theodore Cook. Esq., Cincinnati, O. : Dear Sir:—Your letter of the 20tli inst. re vived. 1 regret you are disturbed about that bug bear, "Southern War Claims." People cannot be mislead by it. To suppose that rebel claims, or claims in tlie interest of per sons wlio were in rebellion, can in any way or any degree lie countenanced is an imputa tion of disloyalty such as used to be made against democrats even when they were in arms defending tlie country. So far as it touches me I denounce it. The government can never pay a debt or grant a pension ox reward of any sort for waging war upon its own existence. Nor could 1 ue induced to approve or incourage Hie payment of such hebt, pension or reward. Nobody expects or wants such an unnatural action. To propose it would insult tlie intelligence of our people. When the rebellion was crushed the heresy of secession in every form and in every incident w ent down forever. It is a thing of the dead past. We move forward, not backward. If 1 were president 1 would veto all legislation which might come before me providing for consideration or payment of claims ol any kind for losses or damages by persons wlio were in rebellion, whether pardoned or not In relation to the Union war claims, ilie gov ernment's obligations to its defenders come first. They are lasting and sacred. Never Useless our government lias treated with great indulgence tlie claims for losses and dama ges suffered by Union men for the military operations of the war of the Union. But as hostilities were closed more than fifteen years ago claims of that nature now are mostly in Hie hands of brokers or persons other than the original sufferers, and are becomiug stale and in my judgment might fairly be consid ered as barred by lapse of time, and if here after entertained at all slioald be subjected to the strictest scrutiny. Yours very truly, (Signed) W. S. Hancock. - Etes Signing I tie Treaty. Alamosa, Col., Sept. 23.— The commis sioners have secured to the instrument of ratification the signatures of 582 adult males of the confederated bands of Ute Indians in Colorado.

New York, Sept. 25.—The Times says: Hancock has written a very frank and expli cit letter on the question of rebel war claims. This is conclusive as far as he is concerned. It does not sneak belli nd the forced construc tion of tlie Fourteenth amendment, but de clares his personal purpose in regard to the legislation which that amendment does not cover. The assurance which he gives does credit to his honesty and his independence, and is one which every intelligent citizen, whatever his politics, will rejoice to receive. The country can now devote its attention to ! other and graver issues between the two par- 1 tics, of which there is no lack, and as to 1 which the position of Hancock is simply iden- ! titled with that of his party. Other republican papers commend tlie let ter for tls frankness. Now for .Value. it is idle to speculate as to the extent of the republican majority that will tie readied when tlie polls close this afternoon in Maine. All tlie majority in excess of 5,090 that is won by the republicans will be a clear gain to the cause of nationality, honest money, free suf frage and an holiest count. The democratic organs, conscious ot tlie results secured by the magnificent campaign led by Senator Blaine, arc now falsely asserting that they have all along expected a republican majority of from 5,000 to 10 , 000 . it is exactly as easy for them to say this as it is for them to lie. If, however, tlie republican majority should reach or exceed 10 , 000 , as we believe it will, northern democrats of any considerable in ! telligence will see that llieir alliance with the other ,/.
