THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. CiOV, HENDKH-KM liRTTEk. INDIANAPOLIS, July 24,1.876, GENTLEMAN: I have tho honor to actk nowledge the receipt of your com munication, in which you have form ally notified me of my nomination by the National Democratic Convention at St. Louis, as their candidate for the office cf Vice-Preside! t of the Lulled Spates. It is a nomination I which I had neither expected nor de j sired; and yet I recognize and appro I cialo the high honor done ine by the I Convention. T!:e choice of such a body, pronounced with such unusud unanimity, and accompanied with so generous an expression of esteem and confidence ought to outweigh all merely personal desires and prefer onccs of my own. It is with this feel ing, and I trust also from a deepsens e cf public duty, that I now accept the nomination, and shall abide the judgement 01 my countn men. It would have been impossible for me to accept the nomination if I could not heartily eudorce the platform of the convention. lam gratified there*, tore, to be able unequivocally to de» clare that I agreo in tho principles, approve the policies, and sympathize' with tho purposes enunciated 111 thai' platform. The institutions of our country have bet 11 torily tried by the exigencies ot civil war, and, since the peace, by a selfish and corrupt management ot J public affairs, which has shamed us I before civilized mankind. By on- J wise and p: r iztin legislation (vcrj in dustry and interest of the people have been made to suffer; ami in the executive departments of the Govern uieit, dishonesty, rapacity and ve nality hayo debauched the public ser vice. Men known to be unworthy' have ticen promoted, while others have beei. degraded for fidelity to of-, Hcial duty. Public oltiec has been 1 made the means of private profit, and | t he country has been offended to see ] a class of men who boast the friend- , ship of the sworn protectors of the J S;ate amassing fortunes by (lefraudiug | the public treasury and by corrnptin^'' tho servants of the | eople. In such a 1 ci i-is of the history of the country lj rejoice that the convention at St. Louis's has so nobly raised the stan dard of reform. Nothing rait l;e woli ! with us or with our aflairs until th c i public conscience, shocked by the enormous evils and abuses which pre vail, shall have demanded and com pelled an unsparing reformation of our National Administration, '"in its head and in its members.'' In such, a reiurinaiion the removal of a single officer, even the l'resiacnt, is compar atively a trifling matter, if the system which he represents, and which has fostered him as he has fostered it, is suffered to remain. The President alone must not be niud(s the scapegoat tor the enormities of the system which infests the public service, and threat ens the destruction of our iustitu-, tions. In some respects I bold that the present executive has been the victim rather than the author of that vicious system. Congressional and party leaders have been stronger than the President. No one man could Jiaye created it, and the removal of 110 one man can amend it. It is thor oughly corrupt, and must be swept remorselessly away by the selection of a government composed ol ele ments entirely new, an I pledged to radical reform-. REFORMS NEEDED. The first work of reform must cvi* dcntly be the restoration of the lioimal operation of the Constitution of the United States, with all its amendments. The neces sities of war canii >t be pleaded in a time of peace: the right of self-gov eminent ;ts gttnrenteed by the CoiistK tution of the Union must be every*, where restored, and the centralized (almost, personal) imperialism which has been practiced must be done away, or the first principles of the republic will be lost. Our financial systems of expedient must be reformed. Gold and si'vci are the real standard of values, and our national currency will not be a perfect medium of exchange until it shall be convertible at the pleasure of the holders. As I hare heretofore said, 110 one desires a return ft. specie payments more earnestly than 1 do; but Ido not believe that it will or can be reached In harmony with the iutercsts of the people by artificial measures for (lie contraction of the currency, any more than I believe (hat wealth or permanent prosperity can be created by an inflation ot the currency. The laws of finance cannot be disregarded with impunity. The financial policy of the Government, if, indeed, It deserves the name of policy at ail. has been in disregard 01 those laws, and therefore has disturb ed commercial and business confidence as .well a« hindered a return to specie payments. One ieature of that policy was the resumption clause of the Aci >of 1875, which has embarrassed the 1 country by the anticipation of a com | pulsory resumption (or which no ' preperation has been made, and , without tiny assurance that it would GRAHAJt, N- C., TUESDAY, AUCjUST 29 1876 * bo practicable. Tho repeal of that clause is necessary fbat the natural operation of financial laws may bo re stored, that the business of the couns try may bo relieved from its disturb* ing and depressing influence, and that a return to specie payments may be facilitated by tho substitution of wi ser and more prudent legislation, which shall mainly rely 011 a judicious system of public economies and offi cial retrenchments, and above all on the promotion of prosperity in all the industries of the people. Ido not understand the repeal of the resumption clause of the Act of 1875 to be a backward step in our re* turn to specie payments, but tho re covery of a false step; and although the repeal may, for a time, be pre vented, yet the determination of Hie Democratic party on this subject has now been distinctly declared. There should be no hindrances put in the way of a return to Specie payments. •'As such a hindrance," says the plat form of the St. Louis Convention. e denounce tho. resumption clause ot the Act of 1875, and demand its re peal." I thiioughly believe that by public ocononn, by official retrenchments, and by wise finance enabling us to accumulate the* precious metals, r sumption at an period is possi ble, without producing"artificial scarcity of eumnf-y" or disturbing public or commercial credit;and that these reforms, together with the re storation of pure government, will restore gcuoral^coiilideuce,.encourage tho useful investment of capital, furnish .employment to labor, and relieve the country from the "paraly sis of hard times." oris iNDLsrntiis Willi the Industries of the people there have been frequent hil'ii'le;di ces. Our platfoiin truly says that many industries have been impovei" isiied lo subsidize a few. Our com merce has been degraded to an inferi or position on tho high seas; inanu tactures have been diminished; agri culture has been embarrassed, and ill . distress of the industrial classes douianUs that these things shall be reformed. The burdens of the pe >plc must also be lightened by a great change iu our system of expenses. The profligate expenditures which in creased taxation from five dollars per capita iu 18G0 to eighteen dollars in 1870 tells its own story of our need of fiscal relorin. Our treaties with foreign powers should also be revised and amended, in so fur as they leave citizens eigu birth in any particular less se cure in any country 011 earth than they would be if the; had been bom 011 our own soil: and the iniqui tous coolie system which, through the j agency of wealthy companies, im ports Chinese bondmen, and e-tnb lishes a species of slavery, and inter feres with the just rewards of luboi 011 our Padfle const, should be utterly abolished. In the reform of our civil service' I most heartily indorse that section of the pint form which declares that the civil feeryido ioujriit not to be "subject to change at every election," and that it ought not to be made "the brief reward of pari) zeal," but ought t) beawa.-ded lor proved competency and held for fidelity in the public em ploy.'' I hope never again to sec the cruel and remorseless proscription fur political opinions which has dis* graced the administration of the last eight years. Bad jps il.e civil service now is, as all know, it has some men of tried integrity Wkl proved ability. Such men, and such tijen only, should be retained in. office; but no man should be retained on any considera tion who lias prostituted his office to the purpose of partisan intimidation or compulsion, or who has furnished money to corrupt the elections. This is done and lias been done in a1...05t every county of the land. It is a blight upon the morals of the country and ought to be reformed. OCU SCHOOL*. _ Of. sectional contention*; ami in respect to our common schools, I have only this to sav: Thai in my judgment, the man or party that would involve our schools in political or sectarian Controversy is au cneiny to the school*. The common schools are safer under the protecting care of all the people than under the control of any party or sect. They must be neither sectarian nor parti san, and there must be ueither division nor misappropriation of the iunds for their support. Likewise I regard the man who would arouse or foster sectional ar.iino*i:ie* or onisin a dangeruos enemy to his couu i trv. All the neople must be made to feel audjpfcuaw that once more there is established a purpose aud policy under which all citlzeus ot every condition, race aud color, will be secure iu the enjoyment of what ever rights (he constitution and laws declare or recognize; and that in controversies that may arise the gov* eminent is t|ot a partisan, hot within its constitutional authority the just and powertul guardian of the rights and safety of all. Tho strife between thq sections and between races \yi l cease as soon as the power lor evil is taken away from a party that makes a political gain out of reenos of violence and bloodshed, and the constitutional authority is placed in tho hands of men whose political welfare requires that pence and good order shall be preserved everywhere. oov. T LDEN. It will be seen, gentlemen, that I am in entire accord with the*platform of the Convention by which I have been ncminuted as a candidate for the office of Vice-Pi eaiucnt of tho United States. Permit me, in conclusion, to express my satisfaction at being as sociated with a candidate for the Presidency who is first among his equal s«is a representative of tho spit it and of the acheivments of reform. In his official career as the Executive of the great State of New York, lie has, in a comparatively short period, reformed tho public service and re duced tho public burdens, so as to have earned at once tho gratitude of his State and tho admiration of tho country. Tho people know liiin to be thoroughly iu earnest: he has shown himself to be possessed of powers and qualities which lit him, in au eminent degree, for the great work of reformation which this coun try now needs; and if ho shall be chosen by the people to the high office of President of the United States, I believe that the day of his inauguration will be the beginning ol a new era of peace, purity and prosperity in all departments of our government, I am, gentleman, your obedient ser vant, THOMAS A. JIENDUIC'IvS. To the Hon. John A. MeClernand (Jhairinun, and others of tlio Com* inittcc of the National Democratic Convention. A UO'MX'N WIT, (I'roiil the St. Lout# Republican A geutiein;in not unconnected with the ISoatoji press was in Sc. Louis re cently, ami v> bile here confided to a friend the details of an adventure in a Bor.ton bot'jl so remarkable as to deserve a life in print. The story is brief, but »ith an immense moral as showing how in some things lovely lwoiUi.li will always come to the re lief of a sister in distress to outwit the tyrant man. The journalist above referred to, stopping at trio hotel, a private one, where the guests were accustomed to the entire freedom of the house, felt,' late one night, the imperative necessity of eating some fruit before retiring. It was too late to send out to buy any; he did not want to arouse the porvants of the house at so lato an hour, and yet fruit, or preserves or something, toothsome of the kind seemed to him a personal necessity. He knew where the was, knew that th'i door was left open, and finaly re solved to go down quietly and prig enough swect-meatcs to satisfy his need- No xooner was the thought conceived than acted upon, and with in five minutes he was in the store-* room hooking preserves out of a jar and enjoying himself immensely in satisfying the craving which had come upon him For a few minutes the enjoyment of the man at the preservers was com* pletc. Then lie was startled by by a light, swift step in the hall, there was a whisp aud a rustle of garments, the iio)r Opened aii-hli-tily, and «»tnn trnt! bounded in with the siiddenness as, coining squarely againt the form of the midnight raide l- , to kuock hint half way across the room' and f.irly off his fee. Jeaping up at once he closed with his unconscious aasailant to be fttatled by a sudtlo .1 shriek, and to find that lie - had captured a woman. Further, and more terrible still, ho discovered that the plump form of the lady who hud wanted something to eat as well as he, was clad only in a night-dress. Still, though trying, the occjwsion was not of unmixed horror 'by any means, and in a moment the gentleman's nerve retuftied, and his curiosity rose to rever heat. •*, "Who is this?" lie demanded of tin; plump figure iu hi* arms. No , unit, wer. ''NVbo in it?" he repeated. "You'll not get out of it until you tell." Still uo answer; but a struggle in the darkness, the plump figure trying hard to get 4 way. Again the query was rejieated with equal lack of res|Mj!i«e, but thia time a resounding slap in the face from a hand that was doubtless pretty, but which hit with decided force, Was the reward oftbe questioner. He waa put on his mettle at once, I "You tlnnk you'Jhjjet off unknown! We'll see about that!" be exclaimed. "I've a device that'll work, I think." And then, after a silent and deter mined struggle, he caught a little bit of the lady's right cheek between his teeth and bit it—not badly so as to break tlie velvety skin, but sufficient ly hard to leave a mark which he knew could not disappear for a day or two. Then he released his unkown prisoner, and she fled like the wind along the passage, disappearing in some room impossible to locate in the darkness. The next morning tho gentleman with a mystery to solve cams down to breakfast early. No ladiesjjiad yet appeared, but at his table wtre one or two intimate male friends, and to tlieni he confided the story of his ad | venture in the night, relating alto tue means he had takpn to secure the identification of tho unknown lady. Tho most intenso curosity at once prevailed at the table, and tho ad vent of the ladies was awaited with au impatience scarcely to bo controll ed. Five minutes later tho door opened and tho belle of the hotel en tered demurely, glided across the room, and seated herself for breakfast. Eager eyes Allowed her, and us her face was fairly exposed, there was a sensation among the gentleman. Upon her l ight cheek was a strip of court" plaster au inch long. The excited men exchanged glances, and whispers, and smiles. The niystary was solved early, llut just then another lady entered, this time a dignified matron. As she seated herself there was dis closed upon her right cheek a pieco of court-plaster identical in appearance with that upon tho luce of tho belle! Another and another lady entered. Upon the right cheek of evcy one of them appaered a pieco of court-plas ter. The tables filled up, and not a lady at them but wore Court plaster on the rigiit cheek! And then the •'gentleman looking confidently for a revelation wilted. They Cotnprehen ded the situation. The lady who had been captured in the night had confided her extremity to lie; flier.da, and they had come to tho rescue to outwit male humanity. They had succeeded) too. The discomfited men at that particular table knew that beneath ono of the many pieces of court-plaster in Mie room were hidden the marks of teeth, but which was the identical bit of court-plaster they could not tell.

Ilero is a man wildly in love with a helpless little sprendthrlft, while lie has all his life despised frivolity and vanitv, and declared that his wife should bo a model of feminine wis dom! Men fly from "women ot brains," j and at the same lime long to know a j woman of intellects. j Again, they pine fJ.r ! their grands i mothers, who darned stockings and t made pies, and at tho same time fall t in love with white hands that cau't i sew on a button! t They moan over our weakness, an ridicule strength, calling it niascu* line. ] Wo hear thcin loudly declaring against fashion, and firmly asserting that they do not admire women for their dress; but we understand them, and know hotter than to give up the art of adornment, for it we did, we should find ourselves minus beaux and husbands !(ca laiuity wo could not survive.)

IIOIV TO CiM DI RNI'tMl POETRY Sometimes a boy or girl Bays, "J thould like to understand poetry ; I do like to read it, and repeat it, but I cannot always tell what it means." Some things go under tho title of poetry which aro incomprehensible to young and old, to wise and foolish alike. But the way to understand t rue poetry —that of nature, at least, is to love the Beauty of which it is the picture and tho xoug. The best poe'ry is simple and natural as life itself; and by listening to the sweet voices which are always floating lin heedeu on the air, you will feel what it in through all yoi r being."J Only keep eye and heart opeu, and never let it 1k) possible for you to scorn or neglect the least thing thtt God has made.
