THE INDIANA : STATE SENTINEL TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27 1874,
TUESDAY. OCTOBER 27.
The Eeecber-Tiiton case baa been brought
tefore tho courts at Brooklyn, on tha ordor
to show cause, granted a few dava ago. Mr,
Boecher's counsel are endeavoring to make Tiltoc produco a bill of particulars. Bhowinc the different oc
casions on which the alleged adultery was committed. Only one date, it is alleged, has been given thus far. The design of Mr. Beecberis,of course, to learn what testimony
he may have to refute, and so be prepared
for it on the dav ot trial. If several different
dates are given he may be able to prove an alibi in retard to some ef them. It would
semasif the motion of Beechor's counsel
hardly cme, nevertheless, within the pro
visions of the New York code regarding a bill of particulars. The section which covers
the matter was designed to secure dcönite items when a gross sum is claimed rather than to obtain a knowledgo of the plaintiff's
line of attack. The 'delay of the judge- in - giving his decision shows Uiat a knotty
poist baa been raised. Alter he grants or
denies the motion there will be an DDeai to the ccneral term, and irom
that to tho eourt of appeals. In
this- way a year or two will pass by before this preliminary skirmish is
decided. Even then the main battle will
be a great distance off. The truth of the matter is, this motion seems to be a mere Dlea in abatement. The attorney are
simply avinz off the trial.
A special to the Sentinel Friday gave
a fall account ot the strange murder at Anderson. This morning we give complete
details ot everything connected with the crime and those suspected of complicity in it. It would seem that the Mowson family is ore that stands In very bad repute in the
the neighborhood, and the old Truman ac
cused of the present crime, hai, according
to her own confession, boen guilty
ol participation in the death of
her daughter's child, which was thrown into a field and died from exposure. And yet it
is hard to believe that she took any part in the murder of her unfortunate son. From the evidence it appears that he was her pet. She indulged him in the usooi money, made allowances for bis caprices and finally deeded him her property. No hing save jealousy at the prospect of his courting a girl of the neighborhood could influence her against him. The sentiment of the people of Ander son, which is by no means lenient toward her, appears to acquit her of the crimo. The common explanation is that the elder brother was the murderer, au J that the mother only discovered the crime after it was committed. The horrible alternative was then offered her of hiding the killing of one eon, or exposing the guilt of the other. It is difficult to conceive a more tragic situation, and few readers will hesitate to pronounce her course 3 f this - explanation be accepted a natural one under the circumstances. The only thing left fer her to do, was to aid in caving her remaining son from the gallows. Her curious conduct in regard to the boy's absence, and ber endeavors to throw suspicion on Lane indicate that she wis burdened with the secret ot tho murder. The story of tbe crime recalls a serios ot horrors, and the readers fond of snch things ntay sup fall ol them. It is a curious fact that the tide of emigration in this country has poured along the northern states and directly westward. No stream of foreign emigrants has turned ftoathward. Neither has there been that continuous movement of the native population which has characterized tho north and by means of which the people of the older states were scattered north ot the Ohio and away beyond the Mississippi. What hidden influence controlled this matter of tho distribution of the people? Was it due to climate, or to the sensitive desire ol free labor to shun the contamination of the institution of slavery? Wa3 it a blind instinct to move westward, or a dclib crate choice made by the reasou of the emigrants? On tho solution of these questions depends the possibility of changing LLe direction of the current, as tho people in some sections bavo seriously set about doing. The westward movement has thus far been a wiss one, but it is time to consider whether it would not be better if emigration should diverge southward. Already tho pioneers have pushed so far into the northwfct that they have almost passed out ol reach of a market for their product, and the cost of transportation consumes all the profits cf production. In Minnesota, too, a climate has been encountered which would discourage any but the hardiest cottiers, while Kansas has been smitten with the plague of ancient Egypt. Really, If this matter ot emigration was a thinz within the control of the reason, it would seem as if the homes offered by "the thinly settled southern states were in all respects superior to those in the far west, where the emigrants are pushing on beyond the confines of civiluation; and one would expect to sec Tennessee and Mississippi and other states tiled with the teeming population that now appears destined to find homes beyond the mountains. Why is it that the emigrants shun the South? The climate is, perhaps, too warm in some places tor a northern race, yet It Is clear from the hardy and athletic men that the rebel states have produced, that the extreme heat which makes a race effeminate is as far below their latitude a the extreme cold which dwarfs man is above ours. It can not be the old "Aversion to slavery, for that evil has pasned away. If must be, therefore, that au irreYisiable instinct drives men westward, as we have said, or else the dread of race conflicts, social disorder and government tyranny ket-p man a-.vay now sis slavery did jura a. CVuisJy its houiheru ttoplo , Are making great effort to entice emigration toward them, and seem painfully aware that without new blood their section will
wither away in a prtautura Occay. Tho
Fentiuel Lai hsrctjf Jre alluded to the in
iuccntTXi held cut lor nortbo:o Mrargers
to seek homes in Tennessee, and now has fallen into this train of thought through the
perusal of a clrcultr issued by the State Grange of Mississippi, tending to the same
end. This circular is signed by a number of northern men livinz at Jackson, and sets forth the advantazes of the state lor new
settlers. The circular is put for distribution
into the hands of Mr. Musgrove, formerly
from Terre IIaute,in this state, recently aud
itor o! Mississippl,and at present a banker ot Jackson. This gentleman will doubtless
meet a hearty welcome from the grangers of
the west, and his mission will undergo a
severe scrutiny. The representations which
he makes as to the character of Mississippi
its soil and productions, are such as. would
certainly tempt emigration, and if his rosecolored views of the future political condition
of the BUte can be accepted, it is to be hoped that the appeal of the Southern grangers will meet with a response in the emigration
of those farmers seeking new homes south ward, instoad of toward the plains.
Every Indication of the business world points in thetdirection of reduced incomes
for men who have not capital, and probably
for those who have, as well. The question tof
economy stands in the forejrroond as the leason for men to study. With all that class who depend upon their personal enterprise and effort for getting a living, the tune
of expenses is pitched too high in
the . scale of resources, ibis prop-
osition lies at the threshhold of every dis cussion bearing on public or private pros
perity. There is a class who have wealth ; their estates count up into the hundreds of
thousands, not unfrequently into millions. With these, this article has nothing to do, perhaps. If a man is rich, if he has the cash to do it, and sees fit to make the annual expenses of his
family equal to a respectable fortune, it is
nobody's rrasiness but his own, and
it may be a good thing in many ways. Ills
disbursements help all classes, directly or
indirectly, who minister to the desires and
tastes of his honshold. There lies but one
objection which arises out of the democratic
idea of American society. The Idea of equal
ity, of no class distinction, stirs up discon
tent among those who are n nable to do
as the rich do. There is no class among us who patiently accept the lot of inferiority or unfavorable discrimination in outside appearance. Some are forced to tolerate the reality, but they do it with a
bad grace. For this reason almost everybody is living, or trying to live, above his means. What can an average business or professional man in Indiana polis reasonably expect to make per an
num uy the best use ot nis akin and industry? Let him bo a trader, a lawyer, an educated man in business or any profession. If he be of middle age and blessed with an intelligent family, it takes but a
glance to see- that he needs several thousand dollars to live in this city, the
way things go. And it should be
added with emphasis - that Indianapolis is exceptionally devoid of exclueiveness and of the spirit of ostracism. There is not its like in America for mingling without distinction the rich and the poor together. But how many men in business without pretty large capital can clear $5,000; how many $3,000? The time is coming, if not
already here, when a salary of $2,000 or 2,500 will be considered good for the services of a well educated man. It will not
take long to show how that sum, may be
dissipated with house rent at $000, and other
things in proportion. The point in the case is that a man can not keep up a home on that sum, and hence he must run behind hand. Now, a large share of this awful
burden of expensive living is chargeable to
the women. Without wishing to blame the dear creatures, or to speak unkindly of thoir thoughtless mistake, they are, by their fashions and ways, ruining the prosperity of the country. It is the testimony
oi ladies engaged in the trade of dress mak
ing that the cost of dressing at this time is about as follows: For
lady of society, married or unmar
ried, who comes up to the standard ol
stvie and elegance to as to pass without
question or remark, it will take ?2,000 to
pay her dress and millinery bills for a year. Failing into the second class, only appearing well without extravagance, the can be
ept respectable for half the sum; and a
well dressed lady, who lays claims to strict
economy, denies the expenanure oi ovor $600. But it is evident that for those who go the
rounds of society, parties and receptions do run up the cost to $1,000. This Is the testimony of a father whose daughter keeps his nose to the grindstone. Luckily, he has
but one, for he can hardly carry the load as
it is. Dressmakers say that the average
dress of the better qualities, such as poplins,
alpacas and similar fabrics leave the shop
at an average cost of 75 to 880;
silks from flOO to $ 125. The hats to correspond two to four per year will run a cost of $60 to $75. Many exceed that amount. Comparatively few ladies make their own dresses, especially that class who do noth
ing, else. The working women do that, but the idle sort must have everything made. Even a large part of those who con
descend to weat at homo the cheap but ele
gant calicoes hire them made In the elaborate styles of the day. The material for a calico dress costs from ?L75 to $2 00. llut the dress-maker charges, fi, or twice tho value of the goods, for making
op. For making . other dresses the prices are $10, $15 .and f 18. It Is notable that dry goods are exceedingly
cheap. But the man of family is not able to
appreciate this, beause fashion so increases the quantity used, and the elaborate work
of making, that when ready to wear the cost is excessive. What can wives' and
daughters be thinking of when the head of the family is straining energy to scrape up $2,000, $3,000, or even $5,000 a year, while
they djseipate o much on dress? They are thinkiD'' jujt this: Society de
mands It; they can not resist the
desire, amounting almost to necessity, to "keen up" and be Just "decent.
This is cnlv one line ot ttudy. The
house and l'aruiiuru constitute another branch. Tcrriblo evil, fatal to society and
disastrous especially to women, grow out of j party name or nature. The absurdity of
the condition pointed out by these facts. In
the first place, the whole country is trembling on the brink of bankruptcy. Could a
strict economy be enforced, not invading
comfort or even beauty of dress, instant relief
would be brought to general financial strin
gency.' .But worso than financial damage
comes of woman's extravagant ways. An ef
fectual embargo is placed upon marriage and a ruinous d ra wback on the creation of homes and the virtues of a proper domesticity. The
young man of the city can not marry
without extreme danger of humili
lation and distress. Hence the opposite tendency to ruinous vices and demoraliza
tion. In fact the prevailing sentiment on
the subject of marriage Is already
thoroughly demoralized. It costs too much
to live in the city. Keiorm must come and will come. If in no other way, it will
be through the terrible ordeal of fail ares
and enforced bankruptcy when poverty has
to be confessed to its consequences openly assumed. There are two methods by
which safety, prosperity and happiness can be restored. They are work and retrench
ment of expenses. Say what we will, bo
fore these troubles are over, these two
methods will have to be adopted. Tho garment will have to be cut with regard to the cloth.
Ihey Can't Stand Defeat.
In yesterday's Sentinel there was an ex
posure of the cowardice of the administra
tion papers in regard to the third term scheme. The New York Times has already
put in a defense for its course by producing extracts to show that it never favored the
re-election of Gen. Grant. The sin of the
republican papers in this matter
lay, not so much in their open
advocacy of the the third term move.
ment, as in their dishonest endeavor to per
suade the people that no such scheme was
on foot. While professing independence of
the executive and a sincere devotion to the interests of the people, they were the most serviceable tools in
the bands of the president. They lulled all
suspicion in the public mind in regard to
the public danger. When the Herald
sounded the alarm they sneered at its folly;
when the Courier-Journal echoed the warn
ing, they ridiculed Waiterson about the
sherry and the champagne;" when the
Tribune re-echoed it they sncerod at Reld for attempting to make use of Bennett's thun
der; when southern politicians of every description avowed their partitipation in the scheme, they pronounced the whole matter a
weak invention of the enemy; when South
Carolina republicans, declared themselves in the plot, and Pennsylvapia and Kansas republicans repudiated it, and New York republicans preserved a discreet silence,
the party papers still protested vehemently that the whole third term business was a mere delusion. So far as in them lay they became accessories to tho villainy. Now
that the unpopularity of the administration
is' made plain by the last elections, these same journals come ont with ill timed zeal to denounco a plot which they have maintained stoutly never had any existence. It is fortunate that they have set their own refutation of their former declarations upon record.
The country can now understand the devo
tion with which they serve their party at the
expense of the general good. -
Another strange inconsistency of the re
publicans is tbe style iu which they turn
upon the temperance people. After the
election is over, and that intense anti-liquor sentiment which broke out a year ago, and on which they calculated as a certain means of victory has failed them, the politicians
revile the reformers for the defeat which they have suffered. The party managers adopted high moral ground in its declaration of prin-
pies. It conducted the campaign in its usual
"we are holier than thou"style,and now when the election is over, they expose hollowness
of their professions by accusing the tomperance people of injuring them by their illomened alliance. If the republicans were beaten on account of tho stand
which they took upon the temperance
question it behooves them to-come out manfully and declare that their ante-election professions wero sincere, and that they will stand by their principles through fifty de
feats rather than sacrifice them for a single victory. If their temperance resolution was a piece ot political folly they shonld hare
said so long ago. If it embodied a wise and good principle of government they should
bold to it until they see it triumph. Ilonest minded people should see to it that they do not play fast and loose on the subject.as they
seem inclined to. The Sontlnel is happy to , say that it has advocated nothing during
the canvass which it was not prepared to
stand by in triumph or defeat.
The most curious political trick of all,
however, is that which some of the repubcans of Indiana are endeavoring to play in order to exalt Senator Morton and themselves at the expense of Gen. Grant and the rest of the party. For some days the rumor has boen current that the leader of tbe republican party in this state contemplated opening the Indiana campaign with an onslaught upon the administration. He was convinced that the organization in this state could only act successfully in complete independence of the party In the nation and unhampered with the record of the federal government. This story was circulated . in the Chicago papers a few days ago, and reappears at full length in the Tribune of yesterday morning in the letter of an Indianapolis correspondent, made conspicuous by editorial comment. This pretended repudiation of the president and the whole party record is certainly a cool piece of impudence. How can the republicans of Indiana wash their hands of the sins of the administration? Tbe convention professed great pride in the party history. Every official trom the highest to the lowest shares in the responsibility for the wrong done; and the attempt to weakenf confusa or blot tho lines of the past is simply to efface all claim to peculiar political character. If Indiana republicans are not in union with republicans of the rest of tbo ca'.icm in regard to national policy, then they caas3 to be republicai s, for the fctato issues can give them no distinct
this whole assumption that Indiana repub
licans stand apart from the rest of thMr brethren In abomination for the rascalities ot the administration is best illustrated by tbe position allotted to Senator Morton. What a model reformer! How appropriately he appears in repudiation of Grant! Why he has been part and parcel of every act of the party for years. He is the man who foretold financial prosperity with such confidence a little over a year ago. He is ths man who maintained in the face of frauds such as no other age has seen that the politics of the day were purer even than those of the revolutionary era. He is the man responsible more than all others for the Kellogg usurpation in Louisiana and the misery of the whole south. If his own hands are clean, he has been tbe champion of such thieves and scoundrels as Moses and Durell. Even in this last campaign he has defended the purity of his party, and set himself up as the expounder of that gospel of hatred which is its especial disgrace. There is, however, a still more ridiculous example. Gen. Brady, an absentee federal consu), Is quoted in the Tribune as one of the men who
is going to repudiate Grant, and he is not
the kind of champion which a reform party likes to see in its ranks. He holds office
and works for his party. He has made him
self tbe laughing stock of the country by his message requesting the papers to keep the
outrage business before the people until after election. He is a fitting type of the hardened sinners who are about to turn virtuous, when they see that all chance of plunder is taken out of their hands. Stand to your colors, gentlemen! Don't give
up the ship. If you desert now the country will merely look upon you as a set ol cowardly renegade
You may be sure that the leader
of the administration will not waver. He
will fizht it out on his own line if it takes all summer, and smoke his ciirars with as much stoical indifference now as he did in
the Wilderness. The Sentinel has no feeling but one of utter contempt for tbe men
who blench in the face of disaster, and did not hesitate to say when the news of the New Orleans revolution came and Morton
delivered his Masonic Hall speech, that
Grant's re-election had became a political
necessity, just as Lincoln's was ten years ago. For geod or bad, the republicans
of Indiana are upon record every man ot them from Morton downwards.
The Beamte of tue nforceuaen( Art. The people of Alabama are undergoing a
rather unpleasant experience just novr, but they should possess their souls in pa,ience,
as they will doubtless be allowed to enjoy
their ordinary repose after tbe election is
over, ihe united States marshals are too
busy creating a reign of terror to allow of
much comfort among democratic voters.
They commonly choose the night for their visits to suspected parties, it would seem,
and succeed In getting op very dramatic effects out of exceedingly email materials. The Alabama papers devote them' selves mainly to the publication of affidavits showing the outrages perpetrated by the
marshal and his men, and the stories which
are rehearsed, if less bloody than those of
Congressman Hays, are certainly more
amusing. The soldiers evidently take up the business of making domiciliary visits in
tbe spirit of fun, tinged at time. with malice,
and will not kill anybody unless they happen
to miscalculate the strength of some south
ern woman's nerves. A single number ot the Montgomery Advertiser contains three
or four incidents illustrative or the style in
which the principles of tho Declaration of Right are observed in the
south. One affidavit details in mournful
terms the case of a negro messenger who was dispatched in the night from Judge Nash's place to Livingston after a doctor.
The judge's son was sick of a fever, and the symptoms were so unfavorable that the
physician was sent lor in accordance with
his directions. The negro met a gqaad of
federal soldiers as he drew near the town,
and they took him off as a guido a distance of twenty-five miles. Tbe affiant tries to
make it appear that the sick boy's case was made extremely- hazirdous by tbe delay in notifying the - doctor, but that is stretching the matter too far . Into the reeiou of consequential damages. Tbe
real point at issue is not in any
way affected by the patient's recovery.
Another case is still more curious. It is related under oath by a colored lad bearing the euphonious name ot Beauregard Sledge, and the son of old Sledge in all probability. On a certain Wednesday night the bold Beauregard was awakened by the barking of the dogs and was ordered by his mistress to go and see what the dogs were barking at.
He opened the door and asked who was
there, probably expecting to be snatched away by some evil spirit every moment.
From behind the trees came the not very as
suring answer,! "Friends of friends,"
and Beat regard saw advancing , toward him a soldier with a lev
eled musket. Several others stepped
forward at the same time and began to beat a tatoo on the front door. Signior Beauregard Sledge stood not upon the order of his going, but went at once. One of the soldiers fired at bim as he was disappearing around the corner of the bouse, and the ball happily lodged In the said corner, where the curious Beauregard' tound it next morning. This transaction took place on a clear moonlight night, but even i( it had been dark the story would have been fully as minute perhaps, as this class of witnesses are as much at home in midnight obscurity as the cats. Other affidavits detail the proceedings of the soldiers after the flight of Beauregard Sledge. A Mrs. C. W. Clary describes how she bad to get up to save the doors aud ad mit tho visitors before she ' was in a presentable condition to be seen by gentlemen." She don't mean to say that she was not dressed, but insinuates that she had no leisure to put the finishing touches to her toilet. She probably was obliged to appear without putting in her teeth, or arranging her ch'gnon, or adjusting ber panier. Like the celebrated visliiog committee in Don Juan, the
marshal and his men seemed to have little
respect for the proprieties of Hie. and Mrs
Clary complains bitterly that they ransacked
her bureau drawers and boxes, and, unlike the committee iust allnded tn
her bed and bedding. They didn't find tho venerated Mr. Clary for Whom they were
loosing, but they took ample revenge it seems on his furniture, and carried off his
gun to insure his future peacefulness. Mrs.
C. lorther deposes and states that, in her
opinion, they were somewhat the worse for
liquor, and handled their guns and pistols in such a careless way as to frighten the whole family. In order to apply impar
tially the rules of the civil rights bill, they visited the chamber of the colored girl and also overturned her bad clothes in their dilligent search for tho missing Mr. Clary.
It must have been great larks for the soldiers, but was rather unpleasant for the women. All this a Mrs. Sue Sledge, who
was present on the occasion, corroborates,
and alleges In addition, that tho soldiers visited the upper part of the house, where
cotton was stored, searching around with
lights, and disregarding the interests of the
insurance companies in the most psinful
manner. This playful little episode under the management of Landaulet Williams,
the chief of the department of justice, took
place between one and two o'clock in the
night. It is to be hoped that these are not
fair specimens of the style in which the en
forcement act is carried out. The .aBgereus Classes" T . a.A. a. tm .
iu mo ouumai oi inursaay mere is a
very strange editorial entitled a "Word of
Warning" and written in elaboration of a
paragraph in the address of Schuyler Colfax, before the Manufacturers' and Real Ks täte
Exchange. Whatever lesson Mr. Colfax in
tended to convey by his denunciation of
the " dangerous classes" in cities, there can
be no doubt about the interpretation which the Journal puts upon his teachings. He
may have intended to draw a lesson in morals; that paper gives the whole matter a political signification.
After a short description of the sources
from which the " dangerous classes" are recruited, and a declaration that their rapid increase threatens to give them the mastery over the advocates of law and
order, the Journal makes the folio wieg
estimate of their Influence in politics : Possessing no property, and having no Interest in tbe preservaiiou of order, they regard the elective franchise either as a matter of merchandise or as a weapon to be used as they would use a knife or a torch. They think no more of violating the election law than any other law, no more of debauching the ballot-box than of picking a pocket or taking a drink. They have an instinctive hatred of tax payer", and always side against the party of law and order, of decency and morals, luey are unanimously in tavor of free whisky and license of all kinds and in every contest between law and lawlessness, between good and bad government, they will be found united on tbe aide of ths lat
ter. Ia most or oar large cities this dangerous

They are able to dictate, and in some cities do dictate, the selection of officers, ihe distribution of the spoils and the policy of the municipal adminls tratlon. Without bein? tax payers themselves they virtua'ly cont'ol the revenues of the city. 1 heir utter disregard lor the interests of society becomes apparant in disordered finances, cor
rupt police lorces. weakened fire departments.
anu a general demoralization.
This can not of course apply merely to the criminals in large cities, i lor criminals are
few in number, void of influence, and, in some instances disfranchised for th6ir crimes.
It is only when the laboring men, the uneducated, and those engaged In petty trade are
included that the "dangerous classes" become so numerous as to over-balance the
rest of the community. Under cover of the term "dangeroas classes" it is clear that these people, especially such of them as vote the democratic ticket, are slandered in the Journal's editorial. The reiteration of the
charge that they possess no property, that they are not tax-payers, and that they hate tax-payers with an Instinc
tive hatred is sufficient to show the animus ot the writer. No meaner accusa
tion was ever made against the poorer people of the country. It breathes the very spirit of proscription. It is aristocratic and un-American in design aud inaccurate in
statement. It is against every principle
aud pretense of the party to whi .-h the Journal professes to leiong. The only inference to be drawn from the argument isthat the day must corao when all political power
shall be taken away from these "dangerous classes." In plain terms the Jonnul comes out as theopponent ol univeral suffrage and
tha advocate ot a property qualification and an educational test. It is well that its malicious discontent under its recent defeat has put it into this position; and out of the
pillory which it has made for itself, it should not be allowed to escape. It attacks the majority of ths people in the northern
cities as uufit for self-government, and to
support its argument, slanders their industry, their virtue, and their intelligence, confessing want of faith in republican institutions. Now that tbe Journal has painted so feelingly the woes of society in which ignorance and poverty are put to rule over intelligence and wealth, let it turn its attention from northern cities to southern states from the fancied evil to the real one. In
those communitks it is not pretended that tho colored voters are In any respect the equals ot the lowest classes of the north. It is not
possible that they should be, for tbey have been but a few years free from a debasing
system of slavery, and can know nothing of the' duties of citizenship which have been
thrust upon them. They are left as it were naked of education, capital and industrial
skill. And all this mass of ignorance and poverty has, in the hands of a few political adventurers, been set to rule the south. The
very state of things which the Journal de
plores as a possibility in oor northern cities, the republican party has deliberately plan-
nod and brought about ia the reconstructed
states, and a demoralization beyond tbe power of the pen to describe has been the
result. - This shows now hollow are the professions of philanthropy with which tbe party in power has deluded the people. It is clear that the ' same men who gave the negroes suffrage for the sake ot securing party triumph tn the south would for the game end deprive the white masses of suffrage in tbe north. Their motive Is manifestly the desire to crush opponents, and not the desire to elevate humanity. Lei these unwary threats bo put cn record. The Sentinel docs nothesiia'.e to say that
its faith ia American institutions Is unshaken, even in view of the awful condition of southern society. 'It is willing to believe that If pernicious federal influence were removed, the south would right itself without the restriction ol a siegle privilegs. So iu faith In the self government of the North holds ateadlaat. Like the sea which receives the waters of many rivers and tbe refuse of many harbors, and yet remains pure and clear, so the ersat
tide of American nationality will take in
and assimilate tbe most incongruous elements, and at the same time reserv its
own characteristic purity.
