THE FENCE IAW.
Wo publish elsewhere nn article signed
"Vart'iincs," which opposes the adoption
of the proponed chango in our fenco sys
tem. Tho only ground which tho writer
assigns in opposition to the law that has
any weight, is thc question of water for
Htock, and there ls really very little force
in tin's objection, for, ns a general thing,
every f?i m has n spring branch upon it
that would afford au aLundauce of water
for stock, and those few farms which
have no water cn them aro so situated
that it does ?ibt pay for stock to ramble
off to brauch?s on other men?' farms to
get n tittle water. It would pay the
owner better to draw thom water throe
times a day tltiin to have them scattered
about- over thu old fields and in the woods,
subject to being lost or stolon, It might
induce people to keep a smaller number
of cattle, bul thoso which they do keep
would pay them much better for being
taken caro of. Ou tho water question,
also, we might roply that nearly overy
one of those farms where there is no wa
ter has some child on it large enough to
draw all th? water necessary for stock,
und heneo very few poor men, or any
other sort of men, would have any water
to draw. Again, tho writer thinks winds
might blow down tho posture fences, and
ttl ft* ?Vt ?a #.?* MI rt istWvtk iii.? A ?v/ww?
fouco with stakes and riders would ta
apt to withstand tho storms, and evon if
it did not in a few instances do so, the
farmer would not be worse off than ho is
now, for a wind storm that would destroy
a pasturo fenco could destroy a crop
fence, and turn every person's stock in
tho neighborhood upon the crop, and it
would not bo as easily corrected aa the
blowing down of thc pasture fenco would
bo. *
Again, ho Bays hogs and sheep could
not bu tslzv? ia the same pasture, bs*
with a little attention and penning off at
one season of the year it could be done
at least os woll OB, if not better, than
can bo dono by allowing them to run at
large together. What our correspondent
says about tho rich and the poor, and
about selfishness, is also unfortunate, for
it appeals to tho prejudice and 'pondon
rather than tho reason. Matters like the
ono under coniidoratlon should bo calmly
discussed and decided without prejudice
or passion. The simple question-that
?y?t*y p?>l*1t?. s-.tti.lilr _>._ tir\\l
wdcr is, will tho cbau?r benefit tho ma
."i-e ?ti*, -i-1- .> tr li ...:n

it should bo adopted ; and if it will hot,
it should not be adopted. If it is a
measure that will injure tho poor man, it
ought to be frowned down immediately ;
but thia should be proved by argument
and not by assertion. We believe tho
chango will benefit the poor ?nan ar well
os tho land-owner or. rich man, as our
correspondent tarnt*' him; and if the
election is ordered, we proposo Us en
deavor to advance somo arguments fat
tho bbucf wo havo expressed. We shall
do H J candidly and courteously- and hope
that tho discussion of tho measure will
be free and full,'without cj\y hard feel
ings, with the .desire to advance tho in
terest of tho whole County, ubpbrmost in
tho mind and heart of every writer or
speaker.
CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE.
The Baltimore Sun't Washington spe
cial speaking of the Chief Justice's stay
in Charleston during tho Ellenton trial,
sayH*. .
"Although not stated by his authority,

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY.
Those- persons who for selfish or other
reasons have worked themselves into tho
belief that the administration, of Presi
dent Hayes is declined to found a new
party in National politics, must now
realize thc fact that there is not the
slightest prospect of such a remit. Tho
President's pclicy has not come up to
Southern expectations nnd demanrln, and
therefore there is a considerable decline
in tho prospect of a Democratic revolt ut
tho South, and all thc indications show
that the leaders of the party at thc North
and West aro moro determined in their
war upon Radicalism than they have
ever been, and thousands of recruit? aro
gathering about tho standard of the
greatest political party that ever existed
in America. There is life iu the old
party yet, and tho sooner persons who
arc figuring for 1880 realize that fact,
and cease to pander to thc fraudulent
usurpation which now holds sway in
America, the better lt will be for their
future reputations. The American peo
ple aro a free and brave people, who love
fair play and honest dealing in politics
as well as in social and moral affairs.
They despke thc thief who purlo'uB their
goods, and equally with hint they despise
tho wretch who receives the stolen good?.
It matters very little to thom ns to ?Hp
use to which stolen property h put,
neither the thief nor his accomplices cnn
ever gain their confidence and esteem by
any liberal course they may pursue in
the expenditure of their ill-gotten gain.
To make thc application of this, we
havo only to view tho proceedings by
which Mr. Hayes become President. The
offices of this great government aro the
property of tho citizens, and in the lust
election they saw fit to bestow the Presi
dency and Vico Presidency upon Gover
nors Tilden and Hendl ick?, but the re
turning boards of Louisiana and Florida
stole the necessary votes to give tho gov
ernment to tho Republicans, and Mr.
Hayes deliberately sancttonB tho tbelt
by accepting tho office. Now, wc con
tend that it makes no difference as to
how he exercises tito office, tho pcop'.o
can never consent to sanction a deed so
infamous by excusing or oven condoning
tho crime. Mr. Hayes cannot be trusted,
for he ha? profitted by tho rascalities of
corrupt ion inn knowingly, and even if ho
wished to do so he cannot control them.
If the past fraud is not condemned un
mistakably, it will bo repeated in the
tho next election, and our country ruined.
Already Simon Cameron is advocating
tho nomination of Gen. Grant in the
next canvass, and even Senator Conkling
speaks most enthusiastically of tho ex
President's virtue and patriotism. Noth
ing but a formidable aud solid Democ
racy can save this government from
monarchy or despotism within thc next
decade. Wo do not wish to bo an alarm
ist, but we do not hesitate to express tho
belief that Gen. Graut is figuring for tho
Presidency again, und BO sure as ho once
more enters tho White House, he will
never leave it until death rids thin nation
of tho greatest despot it has ever pro
duced. Mr. Hayes ls pledged to ono
tenn of office, and who can say that this
pledge was not the result of a bargain
between him and Grant? The republic
is in danger, and it cnn never receive
rest and peace from tho Republican par
ty, which was raised for sedition, and
has grown and lived on sectional strife.
The restoration of the Democratic party,
the principles of which are just, and
noble, and exalted, is tho -rnly hope of
j those who desire pcrntaneacy for our hi
stitutions. This party in the future will
not only represent tho dignified and puro
principles which have marked its past
career, but it will also in future bo the
champion of tho important demand of
our times, that "the men who aro elected
to office must bo inaugurated," and its
success in 1880 is almost Bure. In honor
we ore bound to spurn President Hayes'
fraudulent administration, and hence
forth there should bo no South Caro
linian willing to so far lose his self
ret;'-<'#, or BO far violate the dictates of
duty, as to become a supporter of this ad
ministration,, which is destined to occupy
a dark page in the shameful chapter of
our nation's history, which shall record
the annals of Republicanism.

TUE EUROPEAN WAR.
The slow progress of Ru&tia in effect
ing an entrance into Turkey has .uupirit
cd the Turks, while disease, the lack of
success and the climate, which L very
Warm, have dispirited tn ? certai de
gree the armies of Russia. Some fight
ing has been done around Kant, which
resulted disastrously to Russia, though
the forces of thc Czar arc still able to
continue the feige, and will no doubt,
in thc course of time, capture this strong
hold of Turkey, unless thc Sultan brings
to thc relief of the besieged garrison an
army from without sufficient to compel
the Russians to retire. This is not likely
to occur, as tho forces of Turkey will
neceisarlly mass upon tho Danube, aud
if Kars falls a very small force will still
be able to hold the invading army at bay
in the mountains of Asiatic Turkey.
Along thc line of thc Danube tho great
est activity has prevailed for several days
past, aud it Is expected thai the Russians
are striving in earnest to cross the Dan
ube and make an end of the war, but It
Is t.ow impossible to get reliable informa
tion as to the content there, for thc mili
tary have charge <>f the railroads, of the
telegraph lines and of the mails, and
strictly forbid nny communication of thc
plans or movement? of the armies from
being made to tho outside world. The
best military opinion of Europe seems to
ludiente a belief that Russiu will h? able
to cross the Danube, und thai thc cross
ing will be most probably effected be
tween tho mouth of thc river A1 uta and
the town of Rustchuek, lu a few weeks
at tho longest.
While tho military operations are go
ing on thus slowly, thc complications of
tho war have been Increasing, and old
Mars seems destined to ensnare more
than Russia nnd Turkey in the meshes of
this conflict, which threatens to become
continental not only in ?ta results hut
also in thc combatants actually engaged.
A few weeks back It was almost certain
that the war would not involve other
powers, and, Indeed, there was every
prospect of a settlement between Russia
and Turkey, but to-day there is a very
strong probability that England und
Prussia will become involved in tho con
test at an early day, and, if so, peace will
scarcely visit Europe again until every
nation has been drenched in blood and
thc map of Europe totally changed.
England has not committed herself to
any course except to protect "British In
terests," nnd under thia apparent policy
of neutrality sho has been giving her
moral aid and support to Turkey to such
oxtent thnt Russia is provoked beyond
endurance, and has demanded of Eng
land to define ber position by declaring
war or dedaring her neutrality and keep
ing it strictly. This demand is under
stood to be endorsed by Germany, and if
England refuses to notico tho Russiau
demand, made through Count SehowalofF,
tho Russian Embassador to thy Court of
St. James, or if she should declare war
upon Rurain, tho complications will be
very grcut, and the prediction of the issue
to tho war in that ovent would be beyond
the power of prophesy.
In any event tho Eastern trouble seems
to bo assuming not only a very interest
ing, but also an intensely important
phase, which will repay the attention it
is likely to receive for the next month
from the reading public of tho civilized
world.
The Latest War Nows.
LONDON, Juno 18.
Speeial despatches from Paris agree
that Saturday s sitting of the Deputies
was tho most violent evor witnessed. Tho
Ti mea' correspondent says it extended
over f i hours and a half. During that
long . .ac thsro was one prolonged roar
of vociferations. At one time, when M.
Gambetta said that power was in suspi
cious hands, the Minister of Public
Works sprang with a threatening air to
wards the Tribuno and members of the
Right and Left dashed forward. Ushers
had to separate the hostile armies. It
really scorned as If there would be a hand
to-hand fight. All instinctively waited
for tho reports of revolvers.
A correspondent at St. Petersburg tel- i
egraphs that advices from tho Russian
headquarters in Armenia report, the gar- |
rison of Kars have made another desper
ate sortie. The Russian loft wing, under '
General Dei man, repulsed the attack and
inflicted severe losses on the Turks. The
Russian cavalry at Kngala succeeded in '
turning the Turkish flank and rear by a j
bold moven .t. Tho fighting was very 1
brisk. The Turks lost 200 men and :ho !
Russians 117.
. A correspondent at Athens telegraphs ;
on explanation of the defeat of the Cir- ' '
cassions at Deukli Ahmed. Tho Circas
sians in tho Turkish army became muti
nous owing to inaction, and demanded to
bo led against the enemy. Moussa Pasha,
their teador, applied to Muhktar Pasha
to be allowed to bring them to tho relief
of Kars. Permission WAS granted.
Moussa with 1,500 men started for Kar?
and reached the village of Bcukli Ahmed)
situated on the plain of Knrs, and en
camped there for the night. Tho Rus
sians observed Moussa, and coming upon
them suddenly, surrounded tho village
and lo- '. tho Circassians by surprise.
The Circassians had scarcely time to form,
but m ado a desperate resistance. The.
fought singly of In groups, and tho fight
ing was almost entirely hand-to-hand.
Eleven hundred Circassians were killed,
and tho rest either dispersed or were
taken prisoners. Moussa Pasha is sup
posed to have escaped. Hundreds of
Turkish soldiers are deserting, owing to
"the ill-provided condition of tho army.

NEW YORK, June 18.
A cabio special reports a terrible fight
between tho Turks and Montenegrins.
The cable mys the advance of the xurki
from Podgorltxa to Albania hos been,
carefully watched by Montenegrin spies,
and every precaution has been taken in
selecting a suitable point at which to ra*
C5?TO tw" ?uvnu??g pariy. J no .Tar?
moved forward to Spas, reaching that
place Friday night and encamping. Qa
Saturday morning, ot daylight, tho ad
vance Into Monfcene_. j began. Tho
Turkish force numbered 10,000 men, ou*
der command of All Salb. The Monte
negrins had taken op their station st
Plana, 8.000 utrong. \bqut 10 o'clock
thc Turkish advance como opon the Mon
tenegrin pickets, ?rho fell back to tho
main body. An hour late? fourteen bat
taillons o? AH Salb came up, and without
halting attacked the Montenegrin posi
tion. Four determined attacks wert)
made by the Turks, but ie each instance
they were repulsed by the Montenegrins.
Bourka Petrovlch had thrown up two
rows of entrenchments behind these ram
parts. Tilo Montenegrins fought with a
safe retreat into wooded bills always open
behind them: The third advance of tho
TurVs wa? at ade with feigh. battalion?,
led by AU Salb m persoc. Flushed with
three victories, tho Montenegrin kw
that tho?r enemies carno up to the attach
with li?3e heart ; therefore they refrained
from firing until they were within 200
yard? and thcu poured a heavy volley I
Into their enemy's front, SH a ?mall body <
of Montenegrin horsemen dashed out
from cither side end fell upon the flanks, i
At first tho flanks wavered, but rapidly I
changing front, killed many of the at- I
tacking party. The centre came up
without hatting until It received a second i
volley ; then, through some mistaken t
order, or because of disinclination to ad- i
vance, the Turks halted. The Montcne- !
guim sprang over thc parapet of their .
entrenchments and attacked the column i
with bayonet?. Thc Turks broke, but
wcro partially rallie;.' by Ali Saib, and 1
foll back about two miles, in tolerable <
slape, to an opcu piece f country.
Meanwhile thc Montenegrins had ro- <
formed, and pursued thc Turks. Tho I
retreat Boon became a rout, and the Mon- I
tencgrin horsemen pursued tho Turks to I
Hpuz. The Turkish dead at Plana along j
tho road certainly equalled 2,000 men, <
besides many wounded and a few prison- I
era.
Vienna despatches to thc Times say I
conflicting account.', come from Roumn- i
nia. Those who regard operations na <
imminent explain the general movement I
of the Russian troops during the last <
week as a preparatory movement for con- i
filtrating the forces which were hitherto
scattered about iu the cantonments. (
The departure of a portion cf thc bend- 1
nnsrters on the ll th from Plojesti io
Alexandria is regarded as n surer indica- 1
tion of imminent action, while the un- |
imial precautions takeu to prevent any i
ono from approaching the Russian lines 1
goes to confirm this impression. One 1
account states that all thc inhabitants 1
have been ordered to withdraw from thc i
shore. Believer* in thia speedy com
mencement of operations actually name j
June 18 as thc date on which thc attempt
io cross the Danube-'ill bc made. From I
another source, usually not less well in- i
formed, it is positively stated a fortnight <
or so will elapse before tho Russians will
be ready to undertake operations along !
thc whole linc. This pnrty, as a rrason i
for their belief, cite the imperfect state '.
of thc preparations. These were so far i
backward on thc Emperor's arrival at l
I'lojcsti that he is said to have expressed I
his displeasure. Despito thc obstacles
caused by fhn rain?, it was thought more i
might have been done if it had not been 1
for want of harmony and co-operation, '
extending to those occupying very high i
positions. The establishment of maga- '
zincs close to the Danube and the collec
tion of bridging material aro particularly
considered very backward. Hinco thc
Czar's arrival fresh energy has been in
fused into thc preparations, but this at !
first was somewhat neutralized by various
railway break downs. Those who do
not believe in immediate operations ex
plain tho present great movement of
troops by tho supposition that the com
mander-in-chief had reasons to consider
ably modify his gris?, nnd that according
to thc new arrangements six of the eight
army corps aro to bc concentrated on a
comparatively short line between Giur
govo and lalas, on the ri vor Aluta.
Either of the foregoing opinions ia plau
sible, and both aro founded on observa
tions on the spot.
Thc crossing of thc Danube will be
postponed until thc arrival of thc fourth
and thirteenth army corps nt thc front,
which will not likely be boforo tho 28th
instant. At present the eichth, ninth,
eleventh and twelfth corps, about 100.000
nun, are concentrated between the Aluta
and Giurgevo. .
URAND GATHERING OF THE DE
MOCRACY.
The .Manhattan Club of I\ew York, ou
thc ovening of Tuesday, June tho 12th,
gave a magnificent reception to ex-Govs.
Tilden and Hendricks, Governor Robin
son and Lieutenant Governor Dorshei
mer, of New York, at which a very largo
concourse of representativo men were
present, nud the greatest enthusiasm pre
vailed. Tho following synopsis of the
speeches mado upon that occasion show [
that tho infamous frauds of Republican- ?
ism shall not go undenounced, and thoy <
also clearly foreshadow the future policy 1
of the Democratic pnrty. In introduc
lng the speakers Aaron J. Vanderpoel, j
Esq., said : <
Gentlemen of the Manhattan Club and 1
Friends : It is my agreeable duty on the 1
part of the Manhattan Club, representing <
not only the Democracy of the Empire j
City, but the Empire State and our re* '
generated nation, to tonder on behalf of J
thc club, and ou behalf of the many j
friends who have met with us, a cordial
welcome to those candidates of our great *
party who received a majority of the con- 1
stitutionnl electoral votes of this nation I
[applause] for the offices of President '
?nd Vice President of tho United States, 1
md to those who nro not only de jure '
but de facto tLe executive officers of our 1
great State. [Applause.] Y?"o had In- j
tended originally that this should be only 1
i social gathering, that we might extend 1
the right hand of fellowship to those who 1
bad so nobly borne our standard in the J
late political contest. But I am sure you
di feel that thc occasion should be made j
by us an expression of the sentiments HO '
lecply rooted in the Democratic heart at !
the great wrong which the nation has 1
mffcrcd, in which tho will of tho people, 1
is oxpresscd at tho tallot-box, has been 1
outraged and trampled on, and the gov- '
jrnmcnt handed over to tho control of n
arty whoso policy and principles havo
eeo repudiated. [Applause.] Yielding
to the desire thus expressed, our stan lard
bearers have consented to address us, aud
I now have thu honor to introduce to you
Samuel J. Tibien.
Governor Tilden appeared, aud an Boon
fis tho long and deafening cheers had
iubsided, said :
MR. THJDEK'S SPEECH.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the.

with him, I am sure, our best wishes for
a prosperous voyage-, for a pleasant visit
and safo return, ana for the health and
happiness of himself and family. I.havo
been availing myself, for similar pur
poses, of a brief interval, and find my
self now, with some reluctance, drawn
away from this privacy to attend, this
occasion. Bat the occasion itself, and
the apparent general expectation, seem
to require that I should say a word in re
spect, t? public a?nii?, ??u Cap?CJiu?y ihnt
I should allude to the transactions which,
in my judgment, is tho mcwi portentous
event in American history.
Everybody knows that, after tie recent
election, the men who were elected by
tho people as President and Vico P?*of
dent of tho United States were "counted
out," and men who were not elected were
"counted In" and seated. ? -Hac?ais? any
thought of the personal wrong done to
myself in this transaction. Not by any
act or word of mino shall that be dwarfed
or degraded into a personal grievance,
which is in trrth, the greatest wrong thai
has stained o ir national annals. Not
ono of the for.r raillions and a quarter of
American cl tuena who gaveras their
votes but experienced a wrong as great
and as deep as I. Not one of that mi
nority who did. not give us their votes
but, in tho resulting consequences of thia
act trill share in thc mischiefs if it is not
redressed and punished. To every man
of tho four and a quarter 'millions who
were defrauded of tho fruits of their elec
tive franchise It li as great a wrong as it
is to me. And no less to every man of
the minority will thc ultimate conse
quences extend.
Evil? in government grow by success
ind by impunity. They do not restrain
Lherasols'c? voluntarily. They cn never
bc limited except by external forces.
If tue men in possession of the govern?
ment c*n in one instance maintain them
iclvcs in power against nn adverse decis
ion at the elections, such an example will
be imitated. Temptation exists always.
Devices to give the color of law, and
?aisc pretence* on which to found fraudu
lent decisions, will not bc wanting. Thc
wrong will grow into a practice, if con
loncd-if once condoned.
In other couutrica, in the Old World,
changes in tho succession of governments
have usually been the result of froud or
force. Wc felicitated ourselves that here,
through tho skill and patriotism and
philanthropy of our forefathers, we bad
28tablishca a system of peaceful change
through the agency of the ballot-box.
This is the first timo in American history
that this right of the people has been
impaired. It is tho first time in Ameri
can history that anybody has ever pre
tended that the government of this great
country was handed over to any set of
nen through fraud.
Tho question now is whether our elec
tive system, in its substance as well as its
Torin, is to he maintained.
This is thc question of questions.
Until it is finally settled '.here can be no
politics founded on inferior questions of
administrative policy. It involver the
fundamental right of the people. It in
volves the elective principle. It involves
mc whole system of popular govern
ment.
Thc people must signally condemn the
rreat wrong which bas been done to them.
They must strip the example of every
thing that can attract imitators. They
must refuse a prosperous immunity to
irlme.
This is not all. Thc people will not
be able to trust thc authors or beneficia
ries of the wrong to devise remedio*.
Hut when those who condemn thc wro.
ihnll have tho power, they must devise
the measure which shall render a repeti
tion of thc wrong forever impossible.
If my voice could reach throughout
our country and be heard in its remotest
hamlet, I would say : "Be of good cheer.
Thc republic will live. Thc institutions
;>f our fathers are not to expire in shame.
The sovereignty of the people shall bc
rescued from Ibis peril arid re-estab
lished."
Successful wrong never appears so tri
umphant os on tho very eve of its full.
Seven years ago a corrupt dynasty cul
minated in its power over tho million of
people who live in the city of New York,
lt had conquered, or bribed, or flattered
and won almost everybody into acquies
cence. It appeared to bo invincible. A
year or ?wo later its members were in the
penitentiaries or in exi'.o. History
abounds in similar examples. Wc must
believe in the right and in the future. A
great and noble nation will not sever ita
political from its moral life.
At thc conclusion of Gov. Tilden'a re
marks prolonged cheers were given him,
and the next Speaker for the occasion
was introduced.
GOV. HENDRICK'S SPEECH.
Gontlemcn : I thank you for thc honor
you do mc. I appreciate it in part as an
expression of personal respect and confi
dence, but more as a declaration and /in
surance of your support of the principles
and politics of which, in honorable asso
ciation with your distinguished citizen, I
was mado a representativo in tho politi
cal contest of last year. I beg to assure
you that I appreciate thc honor you show
mo the more nigniy because of your de
votion to the political principles which
experience has shown to bo essential to
the preservation of good and pure govern
ment and the prosperity Of the people.
Very earnestly the Democrats of this
great city and State, and of ludiana, os
also of the other States, contended for
and demanded a restoration of local self
government in all the States where it had
been denied. They insisted upon a re
duction throughout the entire public
service and expenditures, not by hun
dreds, nor yet by thousands, but by many
millions annually. Therein was involved
also a great reduction of tho vast army of
affice-holder?, and thc substitution of
ti on cst for dishonest administration*
Contending for results so notably right
md honorable, their causo was grand
ind their victory glorious. 1 will not
Its tu rb the pleasure of this occasion by
indertaking to recount tho means where
by the will and judgment of tho people
vere defeated. The result, aa declared
n Louisiana, and in Florida, and nt
Washington, is not and cannot be mado
satisfactory to the country, for the ob
vious reason that it was not true. A
rreat and sincere people will rest their
"mal judgment only upon truth, and
lever upon fraud successful through
:echnicalV.7 Even should tho President
ind Cahir . .?:'opt a part or the wholo of
he policies and purposes for which tho
Democratic party has been contending
Tor many years and which becamo so dis
tinctly denned last year-even that can
not romovo or quiet the public discontent.
The Democrats will make no factious
apposition, nor-will they seek to em
barrass tho dc facto administration, but
iv ill sustain it in what is right, because
it is right and for tho welfare of tho coun
try, and not at all because of any fealty
to tho party that stands defeated and
condemned by the people. The people
cannot allow the selection of their Chic!
Magistrate to become a thing of chance
or of Bharp practice. Tho "fraud firs!
triumphant in American history'-' mus!
be assigned to Its proper placo nmonj
the crimes against popular government
and made so odious that no party will
dare to attempt its repetition. ?Ie ?he
is elected President must be inaugurate ?
Until that is settled and made sure nc
Democrat can be seduced from his dove
tion and allegiance in any way, not bj
the allurements of office, nor even by thi
strong appeal in the abandonment by thi
Administration of vicious principles ant
dangerous policio?, and the adoption o
better doctrines and just measures
Democrats will not intrust their mos
cherished principles to tho keeping o
power which is attained by vicious an<
corrupt means. They will tte ratho
contin?e their faith in thc right of thi
majority to rulo in nccordanco with eon
constitutional provisions. All Demo
---..f ifrj* -..lu?mlj ?J,-? ?v^
republican governments arc"once mor
allowed to the States of South Carolin;
and Louisiana. They rejoice in thc gooi
fruits that must follow. They know ths
peace and good order will prevail ; tba
capital will be mado secure, and labo
safe, contented, nnd happy ; that enter
priso will revive, and the cruel burden
of tho Government and public cormptioi
will be lifted from vho shoulders of labor
and that production will increaso am
lands advance in price. But they knoi
that in the language of Governor Mortor
lt had become "inevitable." Good gov
ernment in the States was not a frce-wil
offering upon the altars of the country
Fdr years tho Democrats had contend?
In Congress and before the people fa
free republican States throughout th
Sooth, and finally it became "inevitable,
because !ba right and truth w*re to
strong to bo longer suppressed. In thi
Democrats find a reason to stand mor
firmly with their porty. Out of powei
with no patronage to dispenso and n
money to distribute, but animated by th
SI rit of our institutions, and inspired b
a sentiment of thc right cf local sell
Svcrnment, cs'inherent in tho peoph
o Democratic party during the past te
years bis restored ono State after ac
other, until now tho tread of tho aoldic
to. heard ia no legislativo hall, bat i
?yery SUto tho people aro governed b
laws .of their own enacting and by officer
of their Own choosing.
My fellow-citizens, my homo is I? th
West, and my associations havo bee
with the people of that section. Arnon
you I nm, personally, almost a stranger;
yet I am received by you with open armu
aud cordial greeting. Need I say that I
am gratified because of this fact? It has
more than a personal significance. Does '
it not proclaim that we entertain no sec- ]
(ional political sentiment or sectional pol- '.
ides ? Some may think we should have \
an Lastern policy, and others that it
should be Western ; but it seems that a
New Yorker and an Indianian should
understand it better than that, and that
our legislative and administrative polity
should bc aa broad and comprehensive as
thc industries and trade and cominerco
which it may affect. Does tho trade of
thc great cities of thc Atlantic ?top with
thc mountains? Docs it not reach be
yond the Mississippi and across thc Mis
souri ? Every new Lome that is built
upon that receding border ; every new
farm that is made tar out even within thc
shadow of thc Rocky Mountains, and
every additional hale of cotton that is
produced in Louisiana and Texas add
something to the greatness und wealth of
New York and Boston and Philadelphia
and Baltimore. Is there a New Yorker
who, os he walks up and down this great
Broadway, hears and feels only thc throb
bingof a local commerce? Let such n man
break over thc narrow bounds and habits
of his life, and visit the great cotton and
graiu-growing regions, i or let him ?top
until he hears thc waves of tho Pacifie
dashing against the golden shores of Cal
ifornia, and he will be able better to un
derstand aud appreciate the magnitude
and complicated relations of 'lie interests
which ore affected by thc financial and
commercial policy of Hie country. Suc
cessful enterprise an 1 development in
remote parts of the cjuntry arc as cer
tainly and almost as directly connected
with thc prosperity of this city asar? per
manent and valuable improvements upon
your more distant streets. I have ?aid
this under the influence of thc sentiment
that, in retpect to production and trade,
the East and the Yt est and the South are
one ; and that a wise ?ind just policy will
alike, mid almost equally, promote the
prosperity nf each, if your judgmcut
should bo os comprehensive as the in
fluence of yo ir commerce, and aa far
reaching ns thc distant lines of your
trade.
I havo but one word more to say. The
outrage that has- been perpetrated is an
outrage upon tho rights of the people,
and not upon me, not upo.i Governor Til
den, except as wc arc citizens of the
country. The people have been outraged
by the denial to them of the right to se
lect their own public officers according
to the law? and thc Constitution. That
act will work out, as has been suggested,
ita own redress. I have no fear of the
future. Even if the Administration shall
adopt Democratic principles, and follow
a policy based upon those principles, it
can never gain tho confidence and heart
of thc American people. It will never
do. when a man has taken land which
belongs to another man by a title not
good, nnd holds it-it will never do to
say that the man who holds thu land
wrongfully should have it, because he
would cultivate it better than tho true
owner would have done. Before we reach
that question, wc will decide who owns
tho land.
I say this, not because Governor Tilden
has been wronged, but because the voice
of thc American people has beon denied,
when that voice was spoken according to
tho Constitution of the United States.
But I fear not thc result. As I have al
ready said, a great and sincere people
will pass their final verdict upon thc out
rageous act. Democratic principles will
be carried out by Democrats, a.:? by such
fair-minded Republicans as will not m:\ke
themselves a party to thc wrong doue
last winter. This will be accomplished
in 1880, as I said in 187G, that Indiana
will again do her duty.
GOVERNOR ROBINSON
was expected to make a speech, but, hav
ing been busily engaged all day in visit
ing tho institutions on tho Islands, and
being fatigued, he confined himself to a
few pleasant words, ile thanked tho
club for the reception given, and said it
delighted him to hear tho allusion made
by the people to the victory last fall, and
added :
"From the time that a Chief Magistrate
of the United States had been inaugurated
who waa not elected, I have lost no op
portunity on nvcry occasion of saying
that tho lifo of thc nation depended upon
th.'t- act being branded as a crime, and
thnt if not so branded, there would be no
hope of our surviving as a nation. I re
peat that now."
Lieutenant-Governor Dorsheimer was
the last speaker. He said :
LIEUT.-UOV. DORSHKIMER'S SPEECH.
Afr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Manhattan Club : I havo been wanting
to seo Democrats together ever since last
November ; and I have wondered that
Dem?crata have not been together sooner.
You stand to-day undor an obligation of
duty such as nover before rested upon a
party in this country. A wrong has been
inflicted upon thc liberties of tho people,
and it ia you. duty to redress that wrong;
for, i f you do not, then it will stand un
rcdrcssed and grow iuto a precedent of
fearful omon for the future. That duty
devolves upon you, for it is you who have
jeen wronged, and in all affairs it is foi
tho party wronged to seek redress and wo !-:
out the punishment to the wrongdoer. *
* I say that if tho Democracy ahull fail
in the performance of this great duty
"they will bo even more culpable than
those who perpetrated the wrong. Now,
what shall we do about it? Well, in thc
first placo, upon every occasion, in public
and in private wn will talk about It : wc
will bear witness against it : wo will make
the aenso of this wrong to lay heavy upon
every conscientious Republican in thc
country. But I hope wo will not conten!
ourselves with that. A distinguisher]
member of tho HOUHC of Representatives
whom I Saw a few momenta nco herc
told roe last evening that the House ol
Representatives had tho power to inquire
ana to make plain; anal may say t<
you, further, that the Houso of Repre
sentntives is by tho Constitution endowee
j with those great powers which in everj
generation .thc British House of Com
mons hos used boldly nnd with perico
freedom to work out thc liberties of th?
English people. Those powers were gi vet
to the Houso of Representatives as dis
tinguished from thc Congress ut large b)
reason of the kuowlcdgo of how efficaciou
they had been for tho preservation o
?ipuiar ?iueriy in ino ph..? History o
ngland ; and I am sure that tho Do
mocracy of this country will not shrill!
from doing whatcvery English gcnticmai
would feel bound by his honor and hi
Eatriotistn to do. if tho duty rested upoi
im. So I shall hope that it muy b
within tho bcopo of a statesmanlike poli
cy resolutely pursued, to,work out acorn
Siete remedy for this wrong, oven befor
ic next election comes.
THE SERENADE.
After tho speeches there was nn intei
val of conversation, when suddenly th
strains of martial music without drew th
company to tho windows. It was Grs
fullas band beginning a pcrcnndo to cs
Gov. Tilden. Tho musicians woro guat
ded by a hollow square of polico, whil
crowds of people pressed all abom
Brilliantly lit np by ? calcium, the.M'ont
with ita strong Hues of color and deo
shadows, t o a most artistic tabicat
Tho Bwcnado was given by tho Youn
Men's Domocrntio Club, Mr. Willi?
Van Wyck President, and besides boin
excellent in its musical quality, had th
rare merit of hoing on timo tc tho mir
ate.
After A few pertinent remarks modest!
made by Mr. Van Wyck, tho spectatoi
in front of tho club houso gathered close
ly about, to listen to tho few words <
Mr. Tilde?, who had appoared on th
front stops. Mr. Tilden said, in.% fol
round voice, although showing cvidcuc
of fatigue:
"I am unfortunate enough to bo sufTo:
lng from a temporary cold, and have bec
?ia i? i i i - i .i^>~~-w.-.-:
told that I must not show myself out
here, but I feel there cannot bo any harm
in speaking cn such an occasion as this.
I wish to avail myself of this opportuni
ty to thank the Democracy of New York
for their devotion in the contest of 187G.
? cannot say more than : Ile of good
cheer, the future is ours and we shall
prevail. Ho constant, bo finn, bc coura
geous. Hight, truth and justice shall nt
last triumph. Thankiug you again for
your zeal, courage, and indomitable en
ergy, I bid you good night."
Governor Hendricks followed, and in
course of his speech ?aid, vrith signifi
cance and pith : "I had rather be elected
by the votes of a quarter of a million
majority, than counted iuto office by thc
Louisiana Returning Hoard."
Governor Robinson spoke bi ?cuy, arm
ivas followed by Lieutenant-Governor
Dorsheimer, IC. rc. Cleveland, of Connec
ticut, R. T. Merrick aud others.
At tho conclusion of thc other speeches
tho crowd called lustily for "Cox," "Cox."
L'resontly the lively" Congressman was
pushed forward, and, amid great expecta
tion, thus spoke : "My Friends-I thought
I was the host ; but you arc tho host. I
ask you to join me in wishing Governor
Hendricks, who ought to bo Vice Prcsi
Jont, a hearty farewell before his long
voyage."

I wo learn that the Librarian who vacUs*
