Engflsh's Letter of .Acceptance.
LNDIANAPOLIS, July 30.-Hon.
Wm. H. English transmitted the fol
lowing letter of acceptance.of the nom
ination of candidate for Vice Presi
dent to the Committee of. Notification.
to-day : -
To. Hon. John W. Steven'son, Pres
iden-of -onvention;.Bon. John P.
Stockton, Chairman, and other
members of Committee of Aotifica
tion :
GENTLEMEN- -I have the honor to
reply to your letter of the 13th inst.,
informing me that I was unanimously
nominated for Vice-President of the.
United States by the late Democratic=
National Convention, which assembled
at .Cincinnati. As foreshadowed io
the verbal remarks made by me at the
time of the delivery of your letter, 1
have now to say that I accept the high
trust with the realizing sense of its re
sponsibility and am profoundly grateful
for the honor-conferred. I accept the
nomination upon the platform of prin
ciples. adopted by the Convention,
whieh_ I cordially approve, and I ac
.cept it quite as much because of my
faith in the wisdom and patriozasni
of the great statesman and soldier
nominated on the same ticket for the
Presidency of the United States. His
eminent services to his country, his
fidelity to the Constitution, union and
laws, his. clear perception of correct
principle of government as taught by
Jefferson, his scrupulous care. to keep
the military in strict surbordination
to the civil,authorities, his high:re-:
gard for civitliberty, personal rights
and rights of property, his acknowl
edged ability in civil as well as mili
tary sffairs, and his pure-and blame
less life, all point to him as a man
worthy of the confidence-of the peo
ple. Not only a brave. soldier, a great
commander, a wise statesman Snd a
pure patriot, but a prudent, pains
taking, practical man, of unquestioned
honesty, trusted- often with important
public duties, faithful to every trust,
and in a full meridian. of ripe and
vigorous manhood, he is, in my judg
ment, eminently fitted for the highest
position on earth-the Presidency of
the United States. Not only is he
the right mandor the place, but the
time has come when the best interests
of the country, require that the party
which has monopolized the Executive
Department of the General Govern
ment tor the last twenty years should
be retired. The continuance of that
*party in power four years longer would
Dot be beneficial to the public or in
accordance with the spirit of our Re
publican institutions. Laws of entail
have not been favored in our systemu
of government. Perpetuation of prop
erty or place in one family or set of
men has never been encouraged in
.this country, and great and good men
who framed our Republican Govern.
m2ent and its traditions wisely limited
the tenure of office of long leases of
power. Twenty years of continuous
power is long enough and has already
led to irregularities and corruptions,
which are not likely to be properly
exposed under the same party that
perpetuated them. Besides it should
not be forgotten that the four last
years of power held by that party
were procured by discreditable means,
and held .in defiance of the wishes of
a majority of the people. It was a
grievous worng to every voter and our
system of self-government, which
abould never be forgotten or forgiven.
Many of the -men now in office were
put there because of their-. corrupt
partisan services in thus defeating the
fairly and legally expressed will of the
majority snd the hyproerisy of the
professions of that party in favor of
civil service, reform was shown by
placing such men in offiee and turning
whole broods of Federal officeholders
loose to influence elections. Money
of the ;people, taken out of thie public
treasury by these men for.services of
ten poorly performed or not performied
at all, is being used in vast sums wvith
the knowlegde and presu,med sanction
of the administration to. control ele-c
tions, and- even mnembers of the Cab
inet are strolling about the co-untry
making partisan speeecies instead of
being in their depart-nents at Wash
ington, discharging public d.uties, for
which they are paid by the people.
But -with all their cleverness and abil
ity the- discriminating public will, no
doubt, read between the lines of their
. spee.ches that their paramount hope
and aim is to keep themselves or their
satellites four years ion'ger "in offce.
That perpetuating power of chronic
Federal officeholders four-yeare longer
will not benefit the millions of men
and women who hold no office, but
earn their daily bread by honest in
dustry, is what the same discerning
public will no doubt fully understand,
as they will also that it is because of
of their own industry and economy
and God's bountiful harvests, that the
country is comparatively prosperous,
and not because of anything done by
these Federal officeholders. The
country is comparatively prosperous,
not because of;them, but in :spite
of them. This contest is, in fact,
between the people endeavoxing to re
gain the political power, which right
fully belong to them, and to restore the
.pure, simple, economical constitu
tional government of our fathers on
the one side and a hundred thourand1
Federal office holders and their back
ers, pampered with place and power,
and determined to retain thema at all1
hazards, on the other. Hence, the con
stant assumption of new and danger
ous powers by the General Govern
mienL, under the rule of the Republi
can party. The effort to build up 1
what they call a strong government ;
the interference with the administra
tion of justice in the Courts of the
several States; the interference witht
elections through a medium of paidi
partisan Federal officeholders, aio-1
terested in keeping their party in
-rnment of the limited powers created I
)y our fathers, and end-in a great con
:olidated central gograment, .strong fo
ideed for evil and Alkertheow of .c
Republican institutions. Wise meog
who formed our Constitution knew \
.he evils of a strong government t
Ad the long continuance of political v
power in the same hands They knew c
chere was a tendeny~in-thisdiretio
in all governments and consequent I
danger to Republican institutionsl
from that cause, and took pains to-o
guard against it. The machine of a I
strong- -eentrali-zed--General -Govern
ment can be used to perpetuate the c
same set of. men in power from term
to term until it ceases to be a Repub
lic, or sucb oily in "-ame and aEen- 1
dency of the party now in power inj
that direction, as shown in various:
ways, beside the willingness recently
manifested by a large number of that
party to elect a Prosident for'an un
limited number of terms is quite appa
rent and must satisfy thinking.peopl&
that the time' has come when it wil.
be safest and best for the party to be
retired. But in resisting the encroaeh
ments of Gen.eral Government upon
the reserved rights of the people and
States I wish to be distinctly under
stood as favoiing a proper exercise
by - the General Gveronat of all
powers, rightfully , belonging to it
under the .C9nstitutionu.. Encroach
ments upon the eonstitutional rights
of the Genei-al Geviroient or-inter
~ference wit Ythe'piiroper exercise of its
powers must = ,be, ' earefully avoided.
The uniou of :States ander the Con
stitution.- must be maintained, and it
is well known that this has al ways
been, the position of both candidates.
on the Democrati- Presidential ticlelt.
It is aquiesced in everywhereinow and
finally and forever-settled as one of the
results of the war. .It is certainly be
yond all question that the legitimate
resu't's of the war of tie Union will
not be overthrown or impaired, should
the Democratie ticket be elected. In
that event proper protection will. be
given in every legitimate way to every
citizen, native or adopted, in every
section of the Republic in the enjoy
ment of all the rights guaranteed by
the Constitution: and its amendments.
A - sound currency .of honest money
value and purchasing power, corres
ponding substantially ;with the stan
dard recognized by the c dinmercial
world, and consisting of gold and sil
ver and paper, -convertible into-coin,
will be maintained. Labor and inman
ufacturing, commercial and business
interests of the country will be favour
ed and encouraged in every legitimate
way The toiling niillions of our own
people will be protected- from destrue
ti.ve comnpetition of the Chinese,and
to that end their emigration to our
shores will be properly restricted.
Public credit wilr be strengthened by
rigid economy in public expendi
tures and the liberties and the prop
erty. .of the people will be protect
ed by a government, of law and order,
zdministered strictly in the interests
of the people, and not of corporations
and priviledged classes. I do not
doubt the discriminating justice of
the people and their capacity for in -
telligent self-government,andl therefore,
do not doubt the success of the Demo
oeratic~ ticket. Itirsceess would bu
ry, beyond resurrection, sectional:jeal
ousies and. hatreds .which .have:so lang
been the stock in a trade of.pestifer
ous demagogues, and in'no other way
can this be so effectually accomplished.
It would restore harmony- and good
feeling between all sections and make
us, in fact,..as -well. as in name, one
people. The only rivalry then would
be in race; for the development of ma
terial -prosperity, elevation of labdr,
enlargement of human rights, -promno
tion of education, morality,.religion,
liberty, order and -all that would tend
to make us the foremost nation of hu
man progress. I am with great re.

Blowing Upa Steamner.
PAm~A, July 24.-The Chilian
transport Loa. purchased at the com
mencemient-"of the present war, is the1
steamer which was blown up by a tor-c
pedo ia .Callao 3ay on the 3d.instant-.
The affamir caused great excitement. in
Lima and much glorification amiongt
Peruvians. The plan adopted was ihe e
following, as related bj a correspon- t
dent of the Berald : The Peruviane
officer took an ordinary fruit boat, put
a torpedo in the bottom, and over t
this placed a false bottom resting on t
springs, and kept down by the weight t
of the cargo. He then loaded it with
a very choice assortment of camnotes.
yucas, chirimoyos, grandillas, fowls,
turkey, green vegetables. &c., and, b
towing it out towards the blockading e
squadron before daylight, set it adrift. p
All day long that launch floated about,. d
but the Chilians could not see it un- t
il about 5 o'clock in the evening; I
fearing it would fall into neutral e
aands, a boat was doing the duty and d
eeing the boat from shore uwaking to-s
wards netral vessels caught sight ofjlI
~he launch and at once t.urned towards p
t. Seeing this, the boat from shore
seat a hasty retreat, and the Loa low
ared two boats to fetch in the prize
mad it was brought alongside and its I
lischarge at once commenced. As
-he weight in t'e launch was dinmin
shed, the machinery in connection a

Colquitt and anti-Colquitt factions
has been raging for several months,
and the feeling .is very bitter on
both sides. Each side has can
vassed the State thoroughly, and
delegates were elected froi each
County __according as they would
support or oppose Colquitt. After
the ogapization the following per
sons were put in nomination for
Governor: A. H. Colquitt, Rufus
E. Lester, Thos. Hardeman, L. J.
Gartrell and Chief Justice Warner.
On the first ballot the votes stood:
Colquitt 20a&, Lester 58{, Harde

continued Thursday' and Friday
with scarcely any change in the
votes. A proposition was made
'Fiday to witlidraw all the candi
dates and "bring in another horse",
but Colquitt's friends would not.
consent. Hon. Patrick Walsh, of

Aiken's Nomination Sure.
The Third Congressional District
is composed of the Counties of Ab

and Richiand. The caididates for
Congress.from this District are .D.
Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville County,

ing Coanties have, elected Aiken
dIelegates.: Laurens 4, Lexington
3, Newberry 4, Oconee 3-total 14.
TChe 6 delegates from Richland are
for Wallace ; the 5 from Anderson
are for Orr. So the figures stand
now : Aiken 14, .Wallace 6 ; Orr 5,
with Abbeville and Pickens yet to
elect-the former sends 6 delegates,
the latter 3. Abbeville will, with
out doubt, go for Aiken, and Pick

votes out of 34. His nomination
is therefore assured. Col. Aiken

Our -':eshiit 1i Letter. }
To-morrow a notable political meet
IA .yill be held in. ework. It I.
will be the first of its kind. A Ires
idential Candidate will meet the coni
wittee of his party, arid there will be
preseat one hundred.of: he:pritcipal
"Capitalists of the country." This is
practical politics with a veugance. The
politiciaus and the Capitalists meet
the Candidate to arrange plans, and it
is. unnecessary to receive promuises.
The National Repubian of this o
worning;, says th.t at this mce!tiug,
the financial affairs of the Campaign 1
will be discussed, probably. Else why
the one.. hundred Capitalist ? Aut is t
not this putting, the politics df the o
countiy in a shameless condition ? -If
anything of the kiun has?ever been
done before, it has been done with a
the decent - secrecy demanded by re s
spect for the people. For much as
Capitalists are interested in adwinis- I
trations, there has always heretofore
been a tacit understanding that elec
tions, should _not, be- open y bonht.
I am -nucihr mistaken 4f General-Gar
field does not find, when the votes are
conired this Fall: that This conference
with "Caprtaiists" has cost him much.
His political fortunes - have been
thought to be at a low ebb indeed when
his managers. devised and. be con
sented to eac~h an ostentations display
of servility to the money power.
It must not be understood, from
the report -that "all the Departments
but;one "were represedied in yester
day's-. Cabinet. meeting," that any
one of the Departments is wholly with- a
out-: Clerks, Messengers and Watch- I
mnan. Such .is not -the fact.' .The
Secretaries are away,~and the Assist- o
ant Secretaries, and the .Bu.reau. ofi-p
cers, -and tbe Chief Clerks, and many
others. but whatever may be the ex
igencies of the campaign, Mr. Hayes d
will not allow any Department to be!
without at least one night watc hman.
He began his admiuistration. an a
basis of civil service reform, and one'
of his first official announcemeats was
that the example of President Grant's
administrations, in the matter of ab
senteeism, would not be follow-ed, and
it will not ; there will always be a
watchman or messenger on hand.
The public debt reduction for July.
is reported at about five millions. For r
June. it was two millions.
-This is at the ral;e of three and one
half millions per month. For the -
three mouths previous to the Chicago
Convention Secretary Sherman re
ported a reduction of about forty.two
millious' or fourteen millious per
month. Yet the receipts have been
as large for June aed July, as for any
of those months. There is a calfor
an explanation. A statement is made E
by way of explanation. that pensions |C
were paid in June, absorbing eight or *
nine millions, lBut they were paid in e
March. also, and the amount was the
same. If, as seemis more than possi- j
ble, the .public debt statements have
been manipulated. to help Sec.retary
Sherman's P:-esidential chances. the ~
public shonld know it D)EM.
