THE CAMPAIGN OPENS.
Alabama, a State hitherto Republican,
was the first in this Presidential campaign
to speak and to pronounce against the
: present oligarchy. It was for Alabama
to sound the first note of resistance. Fear
ing that the balance of the Southern States
*■ would follow in the wake of Alabama, a
modern Cesar proposes to march his con
quering legions upon the peaceful people
to prevent them from voting a like resist
ance to his yokes. His military order was
nothing but a scheme, to carry by force of
arms the electoral votes of the Southern
States for the Republican candidate for
Piesident. The scheme was for this and
nothing else. It is a vile, wicked attempt
to prevail by aid of the army. It has no
other pulsation or purpose. And, thus
being a wicked attempt to prevail with the
army in the South, will not the people of
the North resist the wicked attempt, and
manifest their displeasure by rallying
under the Democratic banner? They cer
tainly will not dbcredit their manhood ami
independence by voting at the behest of a
military President and a subservient Sec
retary of War. Will the people of the
North not pause and think of what will be
the future of an administration thrust upon
the country by the train band and the
trooper? The opposite of armed domina
tion is not restricted by . lines of latitude
and boundaries of zones. If we are to he
a government of men, and not of laws, let
the test be made in the approaching elec
tion. Let the people of the North cast
their votes against this hydra headed ad
vancing military despotism. The people
as yet, have evinced very little interest 1 b
the struggle, but they should be aware
that a great political battle is impending
and they should arouse to a full realization
of its great import.
A large namber of Republicans while
upholding their principles are no apolo
gists for Grant and his administration.
Consistent and ardent members of that
party admit that the hard times and dis
graceful administration of Grant should
lead the party to defeat. Both parties
engaged in making preparations for a for
midable fight, and in
this the opposing forces will come to the
front in full battle array. Notwithstand
ing the lack of enthusiasm shown thus far
in the Presidential campaign, there is
great reason to believe that the contest
will wax warm enough within the next
few weeks, and that the victory will not be
an easy one for either party. For weeks
the Republican leaders have been making
every effort on their part to arouse the
rank and file of their party to a full reali
zation of the approaching contest. If the
Democrats of New York nominate a
strong candidate for Governor, they will
carry the State, and the country will be
saved.
wheeler o.v the Rampage.
Wheeler's first speech in the campaign
opened up with the late "onpleasantness."
The Confederate ghosts haunt him. They
will not down. Mr. Wheeler as the Jte-
pulican candidate for Vice-President,
occupies a representative position, and
what he says will be taken as expressing
the position and aims of his party, which
is certainly unfortunate for his party, for
hia speech was one of such violent sectional-
ism as to disgrace any party. What an
unaccountable change has come over the
spirit of Mr. Wheeler. When a member
of the Louisiana Committee, he commend-
ed himself to the fair-minded men of all
parties by his impartiality in adjusting the
Utter partisan contest in that State. Mr.
■--- .Wheeler then considered it unreasonable
to expect the masses of the South to be con-
formed into model Northern communities
in a few yean, that such an event could
only come through a long course of patient
waiting. He said : "We compelled these
people to remain in (he Union, and now
our duty and interest demand,that we leave
■■■
are
a short time from
m
to
a©
loyal citizens." These irwds were
time considered wise sad generous. No
longer Hn— Mr. Wheeler advocate such
peaceful cmF*policy. He now declares
against the Southern people. We
confront the old iawee he soys, and urges
tbs arraying of the. North against the
South. "The late a*ve States," the united
South, the Confederate party, *re now the
harden of his crju Thus todays repre
sentative of the party in power,a candidate
for the Vioe-Presidency, urges the con
tinusnoe of sectional hate and strife, by
saying, "we confront the old issues, we ere
engaged in another conflict such aa I860*
more feceto fen with a united
South." What doe* a peace-loving peo
ple thiulr of such language coming from a
candidate for the second highest office in
their gift? What do those who have a
desire for peace and harmony, think when
their wishes are met with such a spirit as
Wheeler advances. In the fece of such a
pricked spirit and such vile attacks, what
should be expected but a united South.
Mr, Wheeler is not talking now as a
private citizens, and his violent sectional
ism cannot be justified. Much betterthings
were expected of him. His speech is a
disgraceful one, being false, illogical and
inconsistent. And such are the utterances
war
of all his colleagues of the admiuistra-
tion. _
The introduction of the Sleeping and
drawing cars on railroads, is a source of
great discomfort to passengers who are not
able to pay the extra fare. The passenger
trains, on many of our railroads,have more
palace cars attached than ordinary coaches,
and the result is that the latter are full, in
deed packed with men, women and chil
dren unable to get a seat. This is an in
tolerable abuse that ought to be remedied
by law, Such a« are not able or willing to
pay for a drawing room seat, are not given
any seat. A seat in some kind of a car is
the right of any passenger who pays his
fare. It is a right, however, which many
of our railroadsjjisresjtect^^
The New York "TribtineV' criticisms
on Bristow as a stump speaker are very
severe. It denounces Mr. B's speeches as
cant, and tells him that the battle is not to
be won by slang whanging, and that it
doesn't pay to take up the worn out ap
peals and attacks and insinuations of a
dozen years ago, that this is 1876 not 18G6 t
If, says the "Tribune," Mr. Bristow must
grasp the weapons of the earlier period,
he should get hold of one that won't cut
his own throat while lunging at the
enemy. Let us havo as little cant as pos
sible in thi s campaign, Mr. Bris tow.
The impression prevails that the session
of the New York Democratic Convention
that meets in Saratoga, to-day, will be
harmonious, and that differences between
the Tammany and anti-Tammany parties
will be settled. It is thought that the Guber
natorial nomination lays between Dors
heimer, Hewitt and Potter. The proceed
ings will be harmonious, and the results
satisfactory to all factions of the party,and
the Republicans may as well make up
their minds "first as last," that there is
hard work before them. _
An army of voters will be employed on
the New York Postofiiee Building from
now until the November election. After
a year's idleness the contractors for the
new Postofiiee building will resume work
this week. An expenditure of 3225,000 is
to be made on the building. This sum
will purchase a large number of votes.
Men will he employed and their •
kept on the pay rolls until after the elec
tion, when their services will be no longer
required. Tickets for work are to be
given to Custom House district leaders to
be distributed;_
Five wretched men, tried and convicted
of murder, were sentenced to death, in
Pottsville, Pa., on Monday last. It is
gratifying to know that the reign of the
law is strengthened where lawlessness has
long ruled. The punishment of these
more than ordiuary criminals, gives no
new confidence iu the strength of the law,
and at the same time a new sense of the
responsibility of those who administer the
law.
names
Beecher's counsel, in his suit with
Moulton, wants a change of venue to the
north. They say that an intelligent and
impartial jury cannot be had in Brooklyn.
The "Tribune" thinks the counsel are
right in trying to get a change of venue
to the north and the farther north the
better, even to the North Pole.
In a few days more there will be no
longer difficulty in getting rooms at the
Sea siiore retreats.

Both for extermination—It is said, that
Gen. Dix said, in one of his speeches, "that
every Jew who votes for Tilden ought to
be exterminated," and an American Jew
retaliates by saying that Dix* himself
should be exterminated.

lng account of a
dent:
One of the fddaat occurrences we have
non to record for a long time,
__ ___ Saturday last in this borongh,
in tfie sudden death of a beautiful and In
teresting little, son of Mr. Thomas L. Tor
gey, aged about 90 months. An older son
of Mr. Torgey bad fastened a little swisg to
the crook of a peach tree, about four
feet from the ground, made of a short ma
nilla rope which extended to within seven
inches of the ground.
Mrs.Yorgery had noticed the swinging in the
morning and bad removed the rope, but the
little boy had again replaced it without the
of his mother. About 4 o'clock,
been called u
on
knowl
Miss Minnie Torgey, residing near by, hap
pened to pass through the yard of the house
and found the child with the rope twisted
around its neck, and in a dying condition.
She at once carried the dying child into the
house to its mother, who htd been feeling
quite unwell during the day, and was lying
down. The child scarcely touched its
mother's arms before it wss dead. From
the situation in which the child was found,
it is supposed that he had taken hold of
each side of the rope with his hands and
commenced going around, twisting the rope
around his neck until he probably became
dizzy and struck his head against the tree,
as there are bruises upon one of his tem
ples. This probably caused him to fall upon
the rope when he strangled.
Mias Ordway's Night Drees.
For some time past there has been going
the round ef the press a story to the effect
that Miss Ordway, of Reading, who was
about to become a bride, had purchased a
very fine and exceedingly thin nightdress at
Egyptian Department of the Centennial
Exhibition,and that a ticket Inscribed,"Pur
chased by Miss Ordway, of ReadlBg," was
pinned on the aforesaid article, which, ac
cording to the rules, would have to remain
on exhibition,thus tabulated, until the close
of the big show. According to the Chester
News, the other day a well known bachelor
of that city, while in the Main Building,
thought he would see the thing. He had

that you could see through it.
all around for the object of his search, but
failing to observe it, he concluded that it
was too thin to be seen unless pointed out.
He then asked one of the gentlemen in
charge where it was. The gentleman, after
smiliDg pleasantly at our bachelor friend,
proceeded to Inform him that the story was
a hoax started by a Washington correspon
dent, and that it had gained such currency
that about seventy-five people a day came
bunting Miss Ordway's night dress. "But
the best of it is," said the gentleman, "a
number of ladies look in every imaginable
place for it, and falling to see It they slip up
to us and in a whisper ask as a favor the
privilege of looking at It."

A Good Illustration.
A witty Persian illustrated the position
of England on the Eastern question at a
gathering of diplomats In Paris a short time
ago, by tellling a story. He said, when
asked what the probable course of England
would be: "She will do as the monkey did."
On being asked for an explanation, he said
that a learned man of old, wishing to test
the power of maternal affection In the mon
key, took a female of the 6pecles with her
young one, and put them in a Urge tin box
over a hot fire. When they began to feel
the heat the old monkey seized the young
one in her arms and danced around on the
hot floor. Finally, when she could not save
herself from being barned by leaping about,
she put the baby monkey down and stood
on it, saving her feet by roasting her off
spring. In like manner, snld the Persian,
England will sacrificed Turkey, when the
beat becomes intolerable, in spite of her
former maternal solicitude.
