RENSSELAER UNION w '■ 1j - • •~ ur ‘ - • - - • ThnmUj-. April 26. 1877.,

The clnciag quotation of gold in New York on Tneeday was 1.07{. ' Last Tuesday witnessed the with* draws! of the United States troops from tho Loaisiana stale hone* at New Orleans and the consequent downfall of the Packard government, leaving Mr. Nicholls in possession of the gubernatorial ehair. Mr. Packard protested against the withdrawal of the troops to the last, and yielded his claim with very poor grace. At last the Osar of Russia has declared war upon Turkey, and ordered hie aimieß to cross the Turkish frontier. This action upon the part of Russia Is taken in behalf of Europe and humanity to ameliorate the condition of the Christains who have been subjected to the most inhuman treatment by the Turks ever known to tho civilised world. Indeed, it is enough to make the stoutest heart quake to read of the outrageous murders committed and the fiendish atrocities perpetrated upon those Christsin people, and the Turks will likely be made to pay dearly for these heinous crimes. The contest threatens to involve all the European powers except, perhaps, Franco and Italy, and will be the bloodiest and most expensive to life of any previous war.

If lhe democrats in the town of Rensselaer propose to test their party strength at the corporation election that oeears on the 7th day of next month, it will be very well for them to nominate for trustees and other officers the very best men they can induce to accept their iiominatiops. Heretofore at these elections partisan considerations have l>een kept in the background, and the policy was good; but if a full-blown ticket of democrats is to be sprung on the voters on the morning of the election some of the candidates will likely be defeated. Republicans are largely in the majority in the' town of Rensselaer, and should party lines be drawn every man that is elected will be a professor of that political faith. Last year by “working pretty fine” three of the five trustees elected were democrats, which secured two members of the school board and the marshal to them. A little foolish boasting was indulged in immediately after by certain indiscreet persons, which provoked the metal of some of the more ardent republicans, and it will only require a hint to set them at work most vigorously to prevent the recurrence of that incident. ' —'

It b amusing to notice how Gingerly turfite republican papers speak of the withdrawal of the troops from the support of the republican governments of the southern states.— LaZ’oijte Argue. i Well it |s an experiment. If we mistake not the sentiment of republicans they desire that peace and prosperity may dawn upon the whole country regardless of sectional tines; bet they also feel that no permanent peace or prosperity can be established upon a foundation of violatpd laws, terrorism, and Ihfi deprival of the freedmen and white republicans of the rights of citizenship. They will all be satisfied if the president’s policy accomplishes the desired result, but do not feel like giving an unequivocal «d SRtbusiaatm endorsement to an experiment that may result in great disater. sip far as HR -Union is concerned it is wall phased with Mr. Hayes’ course I thus far, pud has long contended for a modification of the southern policy that was enforced by President Grant and supported by Messrs. Mpfton, Blaine, Garfield, the InterGcsse and the school of which they >rp the representatives. One thing is very w*' the policy of these gentlemen was awarded. a long, patient and thorough frigl, yet few MAple oaa be fogpd who are hardy enough to claim $4 ft was perfectly successful. Afford years of as honest trial of Mr flayes 3 policy, if it proves as ineffectual as did that of President ixfaut, something better may be discovered by statesmen to substitute for it. President Hayes was worded * fajr ftwpL now

The expenses of the last legislature, regular and special sessions initiative, amounted to <101,990,29; Of which *04,000 was the per diem of members, and *68,000 for other accounts. Tho Winamac Democrat claims to fiud this information in the report of the auditor of state. It will be noticed that there is a discrepancy of about *30,000 between the amount first stated and the sum of the two factors, which makes the figures unreliable. In the possession of the editor of Tax Union is a private letter of late date from an ex-soldier at Hot Springs, Arkansas—a gentleman who lived in Jasper county several years, but who settled in Arkansas at the close of the war—in which he expresses great satisfaction and “heartily endorses the policy of the administration, trusting that the President’s honest and earnest efforts to secure peace, prosperity and happiness to our whole country will be crowned with success.” According to the report made by the experts that were employed by the commissioners of Newton county to examine the books of the county treasurer’s office, Cnpt, Pfriminer, the late treasurer, is owing to the various public funds the amount of *15,079.02. His friends claim that the defalcation does not rest on him, but elsewhere; and that at least a portion of it was committed before he entered upon the duties of the office. As a strong circumstance in confirmation of this theory it is said that there Is certainly one book, possibly two, missing from the auditor’s office, which, if found, would shed light upon the subject sufficient to fix the responsibility where it belongs, and relieve an innocent man from embarrassing and unjust suspicion.

He forced the child, scarcely two years of age, to sit upon a heated metal can until it was so horribly burned upon the seat, back, limbs and abdomen that life was despaired of, and not content with this, he thrust the quivering, suffering little creature out of doors in the piercing cold.

The President Interviewed.

President Hayes said Saturday, in course of a conversation, that he had no concealments in regard to his souther* policy, which, however, had been foreshadowed in oral and written utterances; and in this. connection he adverted to the gubernatorial campaign in Ohio in 1875, which resulted in his election over Gov. Allen, the people of the state having full knowledge of his sentiments on national questions, including, of course, those which related to the south. The opening speech of a gubernatorial candidate is generally considered to be the key-note of a campaign, and in such a speech, as early as the 31st of July of that year, at Marion, he freely and distinctly expressed his opinions. This speech was published at length in all the republican and many other and therefore his views were generally known. lu that speech, alter congratulating his fellow-citizens on the complete triumph over those who sought to destroy the union and the grand results of the war, he alluded to the coming together

again of northern and southern men in a spirit of harmony and friendship, including those who fought one another, and, ns a prominent feature in this evidence of good feeling, he on that occasion spoke of the kindly manmr in which Vice President Wilson was received on his visit to the south. In this era of good feeling and reconciliation he further said, there were still persons who talked of bayonets and who sought to revive the prejudices of the past. This was much to be regretted, but there was enough to fill every heart with gratitude, the house being no longer divided, and 1.11 the inhabitants having a fair start in the race for lifer In this and all his other spee'ch’es he earnestly condenined the reopening of the old issues between the north and south, assuming that the time had come for a complete reconciliation. The president, in further conversation, referred to the fact that the national republican convention which nominated him for the presidency passed a resolution sacredly pledging the republican party to protect every citizen in the United Slates in all his civil and political rights, and declarii g that the permanent pacification of the south should be effected by removing all cause of discord. The spirit of this resolution was in perfect aci cord with his own views previously I expressed, and he repeated them in I his letter of acceptance of the nomination, and more fully elaborated them in hia inaugural address, consistently maintaining the policy of reconciliation and local self-gov-ernment apart from military support, and when he entered upon the duties of the presidency he intended that this policy should not be one of sentiment merely, but of actual administration. He spoke with emphasis when he said: “My belief is that this course tends to give good government to the south. It tends to secure peace between sections and races and parties al the south, and it tends to secure the rights, interests and safety to the colored people. Therefore lam in favor of the policy. Ido not know whether I will succeed in carrying it out, because there are northern and southern men who in various ways may possibly thwart me, but of one thing I am confident, namely, I think it my duty to try to carry out the policy, and I am going to do it.*'

Mr. O. M. Breeden, of Titusville, Ripley county, is in tbe city to day. From him we learn ot the fanaticism that prevails in his neighborhood upon the subject of temperance. Mr. Breeden is, or was a storekeeper in Titusville, and declares that he never tasted whiskey or tobacco in his life, but in his store he kept on sale Walker’s and Hostetter’s bitters. The temperance fanatics objected l» the sale of the bitters so strongly and were so blind in their zeal as to resort to an application of tbe torch. Mr. Breeden received three anonymous letters, threatening the destruction of his property, previous to the fulfillment of the threa’s. Night before last the torch was applied to bis premises, and his store, goods and home were laid in ashes.—Maduon Courier.
