MEMORABLE WORDS

Xiincoln’s Opinion, f Hancock- “ Some of the older general .s have uadi to me that he is rash, and I have said to them, that I have watched General Hancock's conduct very carefully, and [ hare found that when he goes into act'on he achieves his purpose and comes out with a smaller list of casualties Ilian any of them. If his life and. health is spared I believe General Hancock is destined to be one of the most distinguished men of the age.” And to show Low much ho 'bought of him Mr, Lincoln declared that he always opened his morning’s mail and despatches in fear and trembling lest they would contain information that Gen. Hancock had been killed or wounded. Suppose tho Democrats had Garfield tor a candidate—would these Republican journals he apologizing and defending him against these their own accusations? President Hayes has, it is said, suggested a seat for life in the Senate, as a snitablo position for an ex-Presi-dent. Once in office, always in office, is the motto of the Ohio man. A careful examination of Gon. Gar. field’s record in Congress shows that he has never voted against a land grant, or swindling subsidy scheme of any kind. He has either voted for them or has not voted at all. The H uncock Democrat, published at the home of Mr. Hanna, tho wo’dbe Lieut. Gov., who spoke his piece at the Court House Tuesday night, says: ‘Tom Hanna has the best hospital record of any six months soldier in Indiana/* The Alabama Democratic majority has run up over the first estimates until it is now believed the official vote will show fully seventy-five thousand majority in the State. The election was entirely peaceful and large numbers of negroes worked hard for the Democratic ticket. • The Indianapolis Journal of August 10th has seven- columns of what purports to be a speech delivered before some club by Parson Tom Goodwin. Only think of it, seven columns of the drivel of Parson Tom! As a specimen, he repeats no less than four times that Hon. Wm. H. English was repudiated by the Democrats in the old third congressional district of Indiana, they refusing to nominate him for congress in 1860. This ranting ignoramus and falsifier no doubt umant the second district, as Mr,

English nevor lived in (he third, and j i that Gocchvin’s statement is a lie, j manufactured out of whole cloth, is | shewn by the following resolution. : Which was unanimously adopted by the convention wlßcl; nominated Mr. English’s successor: Resolved, That in selecting a candidate to represent this district in the thirty-seventh congress, wo deem it a proper occasion to express the re spect and esteem we entertain for our present member, Hon. W. H. English, and our confidence in him as a pub-® lie officer. In his retirement, in accordance with his well-known wishes, from the position of representative, which he has so long filled with credit to himself and benefit to the country, wc heartily greet him with the plaudit, “Well done thou good and faithful servant,”

Radical leaders hereabouts wire frantic last Saturday evening. The interrogatories with which they were plied, and which they could not answer, set them wild. —..***-- All parties were pretty well repre seated in the radical meeting Tuesday evening, and the attendance fair. Messrs. Hanna and Dice, radical candidates respectively for the offices of Lieut. Governor and Reporter of Supremo Court. The speakers waved the bloody shirt, quoted garbled extracts and manufactured campaign thunder,.but made no defence of the chief candidates, Garfield and Arthur, and tbo meeting adjourned with a dissatisfied and disappointed audience. Imitations have been extended to Gens. Hancock and Garfield to participate in Boston’s coming celebration of the two hundredth and fiftieth anniversary of her settlement. One feature of the programme is to have both presidential candidates in a bnrouchfl together in the great pro' cession. Gen. Hancock has thus far declined all invitations for public parade as a candidate. He holds it inconsistent with his duty te the Government, and beneath his dignity as a presidential candidate to mount tno stump as a professional p olitician. And now it is Maine, the especial and peculiar property of the “plumed knight,” that appeals for the largess wrung from the salaries of government dependents. Breathe it softly oh ye whispering winds, tho “republican star in the east” will respond only to the mightiest efforts to be> kept in line. The “magnetism” of its great commoner fails longer to attract. Janies G. Blaine is our anthority for this. Most piteously he appealed to tho great conclave in NotV York to come up to tho help of his demoral izerl and fast waning host in the throe of disaster. Tho peril is upon them, and tho crisis les tiian a month away. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 10.— P. W. 'Watts, a noted pedestrian of this section, starts from this point on August 21th to walk to the city of Now York, on a bet of SI,OOO that he can make it bv election davand 100 Democratic speeches on the roau. He walks in a costume of blue and grey. Watts is a character. He might justly be called an eloquent and learned tramp ; be is a graduate of college, has one of the best of memories, and has a head stored full of sound learning. He wields the pen of a ready writer and has extraordinary command of language, and very enthusiastic. Like many men of his stripe, ho has wandered all over tho world and engaged in all kinds cl 1 business. In Wichita he has supported himself by writing for the papers and practicing law. Ho is far a-bove the ordinary man intellectually, and if he would set himself to one thing would certainly make a great snccoss. The walk is creating much comment hero, and no doubt will draw out a large crowd th.e day he starts.

A meaty point in this campaign is concisely stated by the* Cincinnati Enquirer, when it says that it differs from all other campaigns in this remarkable fact: The charges, and they are serious ones, made against the Republican presidential and vice presidential candidates owe their paternity to members of their own party, and every one of them is supported by Republican testimonyThey are of a character involving the gravest of offenses, and, if true, as the evidence shows them to be, cover Gen. Garfield and Arthur with crime as the leper is covered with sores. These charges involving salary grabbing, Credit Mobilierism. selling influence as a member of Congress to a corrupt ring to fleece the government, made against Garfield and of corruption and of a profligate administration of the affairs of the collectorship of the city of New York made against Arthur by President Hayes and his secretary of the treasury. John Sherman, for which Arthur was dismissed from office, all come from Republicans, and are all proved to ba well sustained by Republican witnesses. All over the State of Indiana, on last Saturday, a formal opening of the campaign was made by the Democracy, and the camp fires burned brightly. Great enthusiasm at all points expresses the situation. Hon. D. D. Dykeman, of Logansport, addressed an audience of 800 or 1000 at this place, and was listened to with close attention. He followed up the record of Mr. Garfield fairly and honestly, and closed with a comparison, of the candidatee. Quite a number of Republicans are canvassing the points made by Mr. D., and tne “boss” of the radical party of Jasper county grew frantic over his inability to refute them. One old gentleman emphatically romarked that “unless the SSOOO DeGolyer bribery was satisfactorily explained, he’d be d—d if he’d vote for Garfield.” In the evening a meeting was held

at the Opera House and a Hancock & English Club organized, with the following officers :> President—R. B. Patton. Vice President—Daniel Duvall. Secretary—Frank B. Meyer. Treasurer—H. A. Barkley. Seventy-five or eighty, mostly young men, a number of whom had , heretofore been identified with the i Republican party, enrolled their names as members. Remarks were made by D. B. Millet and John F. Bor- ! oughs, Esq’s. Mr. B. was. two years ! a o° Secretary of the Republican j Central Committee of this county. - j The greatest enthusiasm and good | feeling prevailed. The Club, we be iieve, will hold another meeting at (he Court House next Wednesday evening.

Truth the Substratum of Morality.

The New York Observer, in commenting on the morals of West Point, says: “Falsehood or fraud is punished bv dismission! This last feature of moral discipline was much discussed in connection with the late Whittaker case. It was said by some of the officers that the sense of obligation to teil the truth is so strong in a cadet that ho would not deny a ciimo if he were guilty of it.” Ido not believe that. It implies a contradiction it not an absurdity in itself. Tor if a man is capable of doing a base action, he is ex necessitate rev capable of another: and the lie is as easy as the othercrimc. But tho doetrine is taught here (West Point) as it should be. everywhere, that truth is the substratum of right morals: while cowardice and all rottenness pertain to tho man who will lie.” If the position here, assumed be correct, as it undoubtedly is, what must bo said of tho man who, when elevated to one of the most honorable and responsible positions that can be conferred upon an American citizen, betrays his trust, submits to bribery, and then, to shield himself from exposure, adds the horrible crime of perjury! Yet, strange as it may seem, such is (he record of the mar brought for ward by the Republican party to fill the most responsible and illustrious position that can be conferred by a people claiming to be eminently intelligent and virtuous. If the record of Garfield admitted of any doubt as to the extent or nature of his moral turpitude, it would be a mitigating circumstance, and would, to some extent, free his supporters from the responsibility of endorsing his crime; but such is not tho fact. No testimony could be more conclusive or more convincing.

Letters have recently been addressed to Judge Poland, in the hope he might say something to soothe the asperity of feeling which so goneially •effects the public in reference to this matter; but, notwithstanding his partisan zeal and Republican predilections, he will not’ deny the charges. He endeavors, it is true, to palliate and destroy their force by expressing the opinion that* they should be overlooked, inasmuch ; s they relate to a matter that occurred eight years ago, and is wholly of “a personal nature.” No one will be deceived by such logic. It any excuse can be offered in mitigation of crime, it must bo on the side of ignorance and poverty, to which vicious influences so commonly attach. The enormity of crime is nevermore glaring or"reprehensible than when developed in the higher walks of life. He, who despite of education, refinement and honorable associations stoop i to falsehood and treachery is of all others the best deserving of favor or confidence. The peculiar attrocity of Arnold’s tieach ery resulted from the fact that it involved a compromise of the highest qualifications of manhood—his courage, his patriotism, his honor, his obligations to fidelity. All wore prostituted for a consideration. Can anything less be said of Ga^eld’s? Be it understood that these remarks, though of a political nature, are not made in the interest of party They s.mply express feelings that should stir the soul of every true man who feels that insulted, and his country disgraced, by the presentation of such a man for the most responsible office in the gift of the nation, There is but little doubt as to what will be the fate of Garfield. The opportunity is presented when the peo pie may by their votes signify their respect for probity, by choosing a good man to preside over the nation.

Ypsilanti Sentinel: Garfield—Ames can you let me have a small sum this morning? Ames—Willingly, my boy; how much do you want? Garfield—Well, I don’t know, what can you spare? Ames—All right, I can work out that sum. There are ten shares Credit Mobilier stock, Dr. 80 cents on the dollar, Cr. by rise in value. Ditto by dividend, 80 is 80; 97 is 97; SI,OOO, $1,400, $2,400; stock all paid for; balance of dividend due Garfield, $329; there, sir, that is just what you want'. Throe hundred and twenty-nine dollars. Here is your check. Garfield—Thank you, thank you; but mind, this must be considered a loan. Ames—Ob, yes, and as fast as the stock rises and dividends accrue (which, between us, you can help amazingly by voting right in Congress,) I’ll lend you some mere. You never took a bribe. No. sir! Garfield—Never, never! Ames (aside)—Hardly ever. There will be no service at the M. E. church next Sabbath evening. The appointment announced for Rev, Lewis will be continued till one week from Sabbath eve. A. W. Wood.

The Great Van Amburgh Show.

It will exhibit in Rensselaer, Aug 31*—That all of our readers may know of the estimation in which the Van Amburgh show is held by the press and public, we copy the following from the Burlington, lowa, Hawkeyo of June 19, 1880: ‘‘Yesterday wasjcircus day again* and notwithstanding that this makes the third mammpth show that has visited Burlington within a little over a month, a large number of people were in the city from the surrounding country to see the street paiade, hear the music and take iu the show. There is always a fascination about sawdust and spangles” that draws a crowd, th.* t even a first class Fourth ot July cannot compete with. Perhaps the reason that there is always something among the manydtaatures of a first-class show that pleases all classes of society and all kinds of people The many curiosities in the menagerie interests one class, the beautiful trained horses another, the ring performances and clown others, anu the crowd and rush all others who cannot find auythiug else to please them. In fact, perhaps there is only one feature prominent in many shows Unit does not please any one and that is the peatjut vender, who is about the only individual who has no friends. While Van Amburgh has this curiosity with his menagerie, he keeps it under control and does not let it run wild in the circus.” “les, Mr. Frost, the old reliable cii* eus manager, who has braved the stoims of competition for years anil has always come on’: successful, was here yesterday with Van Amburgh’s show, and he had the good luck to present his show to many of the citizens oi Burlington and Des Moines county. “As to tho details of the day's programme, the most truthful thing that can present everything, on the street* iu tne menagerie and in the ring, that they advertise, an honesty few shows arc guilty of. The procession was much better than many expected, but this circus does not put the best on the out side. The menagerie fills the bill in every respect from the big elephant down to the bnbv monkey, many new and rare specimens iu the animal kirgalom being iu the collection. The circus part is good and well worth the price of admission to all who enjoy such performances. Two features of this part of the show is worthy of special mention. Mr. Wm. Showles, the bareback somersault cquestraln and dashing hard e ridei has no peer, eonsiderihg his age. wh le ho performs many new feats. While Andrew Gaffuet, the cannon ball manipulator, shows wonderful strength and muscle. “ But the great feature of this 3how. that commends itself to the Dublin is; the manner in which it is conductedfEvery attache perforins his duty in ix quiet way and does not seem to takespecial delight in annoying everyone, and Tor tins alone not to say u word about many other good things, we can heartily recommend the show to the public wherever it goes.” buch an endorsement is regarded by us as a sufficient guarantee that we are to have a really great show lit Rensselaer, on Tuesday, August Hist* and wa shall be disappointed if thero is not a great crowd in attendance.
