THE REPUBLICAN. J. W. SIDERS, Editor. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1878.

Glad tidings come from the South. Frost' and cool weather prevailed throughout the fever infected districts Friday, Saturday and Sunday, as a consequence the terrible fever was checked every where and the worst now seems over.

Tilden's managers offered $85,000 for an electoral vote in South Carolina, and failed to find any one to accept the bribe; yet the self-styled National Greenback party managers are trying to buy the votes of a majority of tvrenty-seven States that are to vote in November by offering an unlimited amount of irredeemable paper money.

The InterOcean of Tuesday contained the following dispatch, sent from Auburn, Indiana, Monday : "The Firat National Bank of this place, which has been a very heavy loser by its Cashier, George Hazzard, turning defaulter, closed its doors to-day, and is now in liquidation. The directors left for Indianapolis to-day in a body, to compromise with Hazzard, who is at that city under arrest.

The Independent and Greenback papers have commenced to wave the bloody shirt It was all right so long as only Republicans in the South were not allowed freedom of speech and the ballot; but now that the attempt is made to bulldoze Independent Democrats and Greenbackers, the cry is raised that " such proceedings are a grim burlesque of the freedom of speech guaranteed to citizens of the United States by tha organic laws of the States and the Union."

We have within a fraction of $700,000,000 of paper currency in circulation. If more is required by the demands of legitimate business, it will be promptly provided under the provision of the resumption act, which removed the restriction upon the amount to which the National bank circulation was limited. The present banks may enlarge their capital and new banks may and will be established wherever and whenever the patronage of careful business men will warrant it.

Lewis Tillman, the National Greenback candidate for Governor, of Tennessee, has withdrawn from the race because the prejudice existing against him for having been a Union man during the war makes it impossible for him to make the canvass without being subject to insults which he is not willing to bear. We suppose the Democracy are not waving the bloody-shirt when a man is not allowed to make a speech in Tennessee because he loved the Union better than the Confederacy.

The school boy of twenty years hence will read in his "History of the United States," with wonder and surprise, that thare was in this country, in 1878, a party who, knowing that there was $700,000,003 of paper money in circulation that was as good as gold, and that in less than ten weeks -.!00,000.000 in gold and silver would be added as fast as it would be required, made a proposition to destroy that currency and drive from circulation all the gold and silver in the land, and issue in its stead an irredeemable paper currency; and, strangest of all, that these men pretended to believe, and that many of them actually did beMeve, that such a policy would brir, r v,perity and happiness to the madae.4.

of contested seats are decided by Congress from a purely partisan standpoint It says that it is not to be wondered that the Democracy, smarting uuder the unjust treatment that they received from Republicans while that party was in power, should be inclined to retaliate. But it further says that two wrongs do not make one right; and that the decision in the Belford Patterson case from Colorado last year was wrong; that it weakened the Democratic party before the country and especially in Colorado, as shown by the recent election, and there was no paliation or excuse for it, and that it hopes and believes that the next House will decide every contested election MM strictly on its merits, weighing the evidence as a conscientious judge or juryman would do. There are such things as fairness and honesty in politics. In this the Sentinel is correct in every instance in which the Republican party oi any other party has attempted to advance its Interests by fraud or injustice, it has in the end reacted against it. It is because we believe that truth and honesty will in the end triumph; that we have an abiding faith in the success of the principles advocated by the Republican party; and we further believe that every attempt to form a coalition with other parties or deviation from right, for the sake of puccess but retards that triumph.

As our readers all know, the Nt-.v York Tribune has published tincipher dispatches sent from Mr. Tilden's house in November, 1876, making proposals for the purchase of electoral votes in South Carolina and Florida. For a while Mr. Tilden took no notice of the matter, but it soon began to get so warm for the Democratic managers in the east, that Mr. Tilden was compelled to write a letter, denying any responsibility for the dispatches; but it is found, when the letter is examined critically, that it amounts almost to confession that the dispatches were sent, because Mr. Tilden does not deny that they were sent, nor does he have any word of rebuke for those who sent them, but vents all his wrath on the Republican party, with the evident intention of diverting attention from the frauds managed by his own private secretary, who ate at his own table, was a member of his household, and who is his nephew, assisted by other of Mr. Tilden's confidential friends. The Tribune comments as follows upon Tilden's card: Tilden ought to remind himself that the American people are not peri -hing t learn his opinion on the constitutionality of the Electoral Commission, or on the way in which that tribunal hschargcd its trust, but they are interest .1 in knowing hat opinion he entertains of certain other transactions to which his attention Ml been directed Tilden roundly denies any responsibility for the negotiations for the gurrhase of electors and returning board, iut he has now been made aware tint such trafficking was undertaken, und thai his own house was the harbor for some of the amateur and professional brokers and dealers in this sort of merchandise, and lie must now know, from internal and exter nal evidence furnished by telepmms who these traders were. Anil what does Til den thiuk of these men 1 He takes pains to criticise Congress, and the Returning Boards, and the Electoral Commission, but be has no word of censure for men who were telegraphing Northward and Southward about "fifty of the In-! United States dicuinents and $M.1,000 in three packages. ' He finds room to denounce McLinfhy name, but against the dpbensii along the wire which run Into his bed chamber; asraiDst Marble and Coyle, and Woollev and Weed, he breathes not a word of displeasure. Tilden must write one mo.-e letter and say explicitly whether he disapproves of the works of his recotr nized and authorized agents. His opinion of alleged frauds committed against him is now understood. The country waits for his opinion of the frauds attempted in his favor. There are hot blooded gentlemen whose indignation could not be restrained from breaking out against any superserviceable friend, who through excess of zeal and absence of moral principle, has compromised their good name. Mr. Tilden is not hot-blooded, and he w ill not he expected to act or talk with undue precipitation. Hut if he continues to keep silence, there are malicious people who will say that he doesn't dare to denounce these corruptionists. for fear they may

turn upon him and exhibit their creden

tials.

The mortuary table of Memphis, published in Sunday's Appeal, shows

that the total number of deaths to ;

that date was 3.050, against UM in the epidemic of 1873. On the 9th and 10th of September the number of deaths was 111, and on the 14th, 127. These were the three days of greatest mortality. From the 16th of last month there has been an almost steady decrease in the number of deaths. Another noticeable feature is the extraordinary malignancy of the disease in the city. The total cases were only 7,123; the deaths being almost half as many as the cases. The mortality in New Orleans has been a little larger, while the number of cases has been more than 5,000 greater. The reduction of the public debt for the month of September was $3.196,534. During the three months ending with September, the reduction of the public debt was nearly $10,000,000, or about $1,300,000 more than the corresponding period in 1877. The coin balance in the Treasury is equal to two-thirds of the amount of outstanding legal-tenders, and after deducting tho amount held to redeem coin certificates, called bonds, and other coin obligations, the actual coin balance on hand, against which there are no demands, is more than 50 per cent, of the entire legaltender liability. The actual condition of things is that the Government has nearly $100,000,000 in legal-tenders under control of the Treasury, with a coin reserve of over $176,000,000.

The failure of the City of Glaftow Bank which caused such excitement and apprehension in financial circles throughout Europe is worse than was at first supposed, and all the managers and directors have been arrested and put in prison to await an examination. An Inter-Ocean cubl -gram dated at Glasgow, Saturda). Oct 19, says: The city is absorbed in melancholy contemplation of the terrible picture of crime and ruin presented in the official report of the examiners of the broken Glasgow bank. The figures and facts are so overwhelming that even financial minds, familiar with figures aud cash books, seem to utterly fail to grasp the situation. A kind of apathy appears to have seized upon the citizens. The busines exchanges are absolutely stagnant Yesterday's fears of a panic and run on the banks were fortunately not realized. Signs of approaching punishment for the directors are visible, and eagerly hailed by the whole community. A review of the effect on the Scotch trade since the disaster shows the dreadful extent of the damage. The list of works

stopped is not extensivo, but includes j

the iron works of Henderson, Dymock & Co., Heatheryknow colliery and

raisley. and several building yards. An important feature in the report of the exwminers is the deliberate falsification of the returns made to the government of the gold held by the bank against notes issued. The legal issue was limited to 72,921, but at the suspension Of the concern the note circulation was 863,753, but the deficiency was made to appear less by illegally including coin lying at

the bank's branches. This scandalous proceeding exposes the bank to tremendous penalties uader the laws of Great Britain. The Glasgow F.v -ning Timec says: "Tho statement in tho London Timr that the story is one of the most disgraceful in the whole history of banking cannot be denied, and is, perhaps, all the more disgraceful because of the the fact that the scandal and crime occurred in professcdlj' the'most religious city iu the most religious country in the world. It is doubtful If anything more will ever be heard from this side about wildcat banking In America." The Glasgow Herald says: A more melancholy and complete scale of financial wreck and rtiiu was never before witnessed. The details given to the public far exceed the worst anticipation, and one can but stand appalled before the startling revelations of culpable mismanagement The details of the bank's losses are read with mingled feelings of shame for the country, compassion for the unhappy shareholders, and with burning indignation against those who have brought this dire calamity on both. The law will offer no protection for society at large If an attempt is not made to ascertain the legal responsibility of the men who proved thus false to their trust, and guided the bank to its doom. We deeply regret we have not one word of comfort to give the unhappy shareholders, who doubtless ere long will have their all swept away in making up the loss," Political Notes. The New York Sun, after shouting fraud for two years, is silent after the publication of the cipher dispatches and Tilden's card. The next total eclipse will bo that of the "Greeubackers." Date of eclipse, Jan. 1st, 1879; cause, specie resumption. I will not only be total, but lasting. Kendallvllle Standard. The Democratic papers have suddenly discovered that Polton, Tilden's nephew, is "bumptious and illy balanced." as well as indiscreet. Will Mr. Pelton publish a card? InterOcean. Karsas 'papers speak of emigration to that State as unprecedented. One day last week the trains of the A., T. & S. F. landed at Topeka 2,000 emigrauts, mostly from Ohio and Indiana. So heavy is travel that most of their through trains are now run in two sections. From present Indications it is not likely that the soft-money question will be an issue in the president h:l contest of 1880. It will be settled long berore that date. Thurman, Hendrick-, Tilden, have gone glimmering; Bayard and Hancock look up smiling. St. Paul (inn.) PioneerPress. Thurlow Weed, interviewed on the subject of the cipher telegrams, said he regarded the disclosures as the culmination of a long series of frauds, by means of which results of elections in New York had been changed Mr. Tilden, he thought, had simply extended the system from the State to the nation. At every point where the Republicans made the canvass on the principles of the party, refusing to unite with any other party and dallying with none other, they have either won a victory or made splendid gains in this State, while on the other hand, wherever they sought to make an alliance with the flat money craze, they lost votes and prestige. Parties must be honest as well as men. Indianian. The Charleston Neics and Courier says: "We vigorously supported Mr. Tilden for the Democratic nomination for President. It was the best thing to do, perhaps; but it leaves a bad taste In the mouth, although, on the foremost question of the times, pay or repudiate, Mr. Tilden is far ahead of a Thurman and a Voorhee. No more of Tilden in the South, or of anybody like him!" General Garfield ver;' shrewdly estimates that the exposure of the Tilden cipher dispatches and of his gigantic conspiracy will not hurt the Democratic party nearly as much as a similar exposure would the Republican party. The reason is obvious. The Republican party recognizes a higher moral standard, and more i3 expected of it than of the Democracy. Nevertheless, the exposure in this case Is so complete and damning that even the Democracy must suffer. The New York World, the leading I"inocratic organ of the nation, says: "Tilden's card is too long for denial and too short for explanation. It denies only what 1 dd no denial, and explains only what needed no explanation." It regards his earnest and emphatic assertion that he resisted

all overtures to buy the presidency, j

as presumptive evidence that ho allowed such overtures to him, and asks, "What are we to think of a great political leader who could even be approached in such a way by those whom he had honored with his confidence and selected as his agents?" The further comments of the World are very significant aud indicate a fixed purpose on its part to throw the old man overboard. The Charleston (S. C.) Neics. referring to the recent order of AttorneyGeneral Devens to Southern District attorneys, says: "The Democracy are strong enough to protect their own party and their opponents too, and they mean to do it. They will not tolerate any interference with the

freedom of election, even if this be ' attempted iu the interest of timorous i colored .uemocrats. A whole army cannot keep the Democracy from carrying South Carolina, if they choose to carry it, and Attorney-General , Devens has no army to call out for the benefit of his' particular friends, ! whether Democratic or Republican."

And for this condition of affairs the people are indebted to a Democratic House. Another such a House will not leave any army at all, and will pteM it in the power of the Southern Democrats to do as they please in all things. Inter-Ocean. Mr. Tilden Consults the Scriptures. The other day Mr. Tilden laid down his favorite paper, the New York IWhmt, and picked up his Bible and Miul "For there is nothing covered that should not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therelore, whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in light; and that which ye have spoken In the ear In closets, shall be proclnmed upon the house-tops." And Mr. Tilden laid the book away and groaned in the bitterness of spirit, and said be would bet $10,000 that wasn't in the origina! text, but was a fraudulent interpolation by the Tribune man. Haw key e. The New York Herald on the Shot(un Policy in South Carolina. The New York Herald, of Thursday, discussing the revival of the shotgun policy in South Carolina, says. "The Southern Republicans have precisely the same right to assemble, to speak in public, to nominate candidates, to try to elect them, and to vote when election day comes, as the Southern Democrats, and if any attempt is made in South Carolina or elsewhere to interfere, by force or threats or brutal bullying, witu the free and full exercise of these rights, Southern Democrats will discover that the North knows how to resent and how to punish such wrongs, for which, whatever may have been the case under the old Southern policy, there is now not an atom of excuse, it will not need Federal interference to punish such misconduct, because it will receive its reward at the polls in November."

Third-Class Mail Matter. A Washington special to the InterOcean.last Saturday.says the new plan of registering third-class mail matter, which has been in operation about three weeks, has proved to be a great success, and reports from ell directions show that its advantages are appreciated by the public. The retail merchants of the larger cities are using it to extend their trade through the mails, which are cheaper and quite as rapid in delivery as the express companies. The New York merchants report that their mail trade, now that the system of registration is adopted, will increase rapidly, and they are sending out thousands of catalogues and samples to the smaller towns, where the advantages of prices and variety, in ladies' goods particularly, are not offered. The same is true of merchants in Western cities. Heretofore the trade by samples through the express companies has been large but the charges for carriage were so high, that there was no economy in a small purchase. Now a lady's silk dress can be sent through the mail, registered, for 25 cents, and the merchants, on even small purchases, can afford to prepay postage, and thus a customer in a village can have equal advantages in trade with people who live In cities. From the reports already received

the income of the Postofllce Depart-.

ment will be increased by this new system. Neighborhood Notes. Several of our exchanges complain of a scarcity of potatoes and cabbage.

There are over 1,600 children in South Bend who do not attend Sunday school. This (a something for the people to think about, who busy themselves in making red fiannel shirts for the heathen. South Bend Tribune. Major Calkins is confined to his room at his home at Lal'orte with a severe attack of lever. He did not fully recover from his former attack before going into the work of the campaign and the excitement and work was too much for him, and caused a relapse. Some one went into T. S. Gruesbeck's barn last Saturday night and attempted to kill one of his horses. Who ever it was struck the animal a blow In the forehead cutting a triangular gash iu its head about two inchce in length each way. Othtmkiä City Commercial. Governor Williams has written to the authorities at South Bend in relation to the pardoning of William Campbell, who was sentenced to serve six months in the county jail and pay a fine of $1,000, for shooting George Rockstroh, last winter, that if Campbell will pay $200 of the fine and the costs in the case, $102, he will grant the pardon asked for. The Kendall ville Standard says: A farmer in Jefferson township who has always been a Republican but who voted the Democratic ticket at the recent election, became so demoralized, talking politics, that he came to town with a grist and forgot what he came for leaving the grist at the mill. He will probably hereafter vote the Republican ticket. The Albion Xeir Era which has here tofore been independent in politics will hereafter be an earnest advocate of Republican principles, believing that the best interests of the country demand thai the Republican arty should be kept in power. The New Era is one of our best exchanges and we are glad to welcome it into the ranks of uncompromising Re publican papers Its course in the past and the fact that the county in which it is published is largely Democratic shows that it is actuated by principle, and Is just the kind of accessions we need. Yesterday afternoon about one o'clock, during the storm which prevailed at that

time, the residence of Mrs. Sophia Marsh on State street was struck by lightning. The fluid as near as can be ascertained,

entered the pipe which connects with the eave.trough, passed through it thence long the kitchen roof and through another piece of pipe which run along the side of a summer kitchen into the ground, on its way diverging enough to stun Mrs. M's two daughters who were engaged in washing dishes. They were felled to the floor, and the left arm of one was slightly bruised. The dishes were scattered tn all direction s. Im Porte Chron iei.
