From Ills Address at Utica. ' j
New York is by right, by tradition,
by interest, a Democratic State. This
couuty, in its belter days, upheldithe
principles of Jefferson and Jackson.
As I stand here at the request-of the
young men of the Democratic party in
this city, to speak particularly of four
county and city tickets, which are
made up oftho.se who are in the early
stages of life, I wish to say to them,
as one who has run must-ojf his course
and who feels a deep interest in the
welfare of those "who are 'coming on
the stage of active exertions, "that I
exhort them always to keep in view
their duties as citizens, to becomeMn
telligent in regard to all matters that
concern. the welfare of the American
people, and to be earnest and active in
upholding the'side which they sli all
deem to be in the rurlit. 1 do not
wish to do injustice lo our political
opponents. 1 respect their convictions,
but I believe that when American
citizens shall study -the principles
which give life to our Union and
pivsperity.lo our States, the Demo

How Chandler Eleeted Hayes.
Philadelphia Press, King Variety Organ, j:
His second service was after the
Presidential election of 1876, when,
as Chairman of the National Repub
lican Committee, he announced to ithe
people the election of Presidcnt.Hayes
br a majority, of one vote-in the KJec
toral Collejje. To maintain that liia-
jonty it was necessary to hold the
votes of Florida, JjOuisiana, Oregon
and South Carolina, in nil of which
States there was early indications of
trouble. Senator Chandfer assunied
the task of making good his assurdhce.
He authorized the. employment of
persons to enter the necessary proceed
ings in the courts, to prepare the re
quired proofs, and generally to ph
tcct the interest ofihe Repulican par
ty in those States andin the Electoral
Commission. These expenses he inet
out of his private funds, and it isiUu
dcrstood the cot of attorneys and;
agents and their necessary expenses
involved an outlay of over 10,000,
for which he did ; not receive reim
burscmcnt. . :i i
Georgia, says the Wilmington Star,
is an instance of thrift in spite of po
litical persecution and general finan
cial prostration. It is a nourishing
State, and its neighbors might wll
profit by its example. The following
paragraph from one-" of its papersf
the Sunny South contains some in
structive information. It says: J
Georgia bonds arc worth to-day
equally as much as thoseof the Uiiir
ted States, and are as eagerly sougbt
for bv capitalist. She has recently
readily disposed of 8200,000 of her: 4
per cent, bonds at ! par. These were
fssued to pay a similar amount of eight
per cept. bonds falling d,uey Eight
years ago her seven per cent. 1 bonds
were selling at - tweuty-five cents be
Iqw par. These four per cent, bonds
are of as low denominations as fiye
Hollars, and they circulate as money,
thus supplementing the national cur
rencv. This is a fine stroke of finan
cial policv, and doubtless will be iin-
ijLteJ, by other Southern otates.
Portrait of a Pope

adoration, faith, submission, penitence,
al conduct. It has no necessary con
nection with any one virtue; - The

While Alexander VI. was Pope,
Hieronymus Porcius wrote, maintain
ing the doctrine of lhe Papal infalli
bility, and .asserting that he only is a
Christian who worships and blindly
obeys the) Pope. To a hypercritical
intellect it jwould almost seem that the
theory of IfapaUnfallibility, when ap
plied to Alexander the Sixth, is sub
jected to some slight strain. This is
the triithful portrait of this infallible
Pope as given in the last number of
the Niadecjith Century :
, "The lihp, the actions, and the char
acter of this Pope will forever remain
a moral problem. It must be remem
bered that io was Pope. He was not
merely an jalmost incredably wicked
man, but he claimed to be Vicar of
God. Apart even from the darkest
crime whic-li stains his infamous mem
ory, his life was a long" breach of the
coumiandmjents which say, thou shalt
not steal ; thou shalt do no murder ;
thou shalt hot commit adultery; thou
shait not blear false witness against
thy neighbor." Alexander the Sixth
is, perhaps, the greatest and foulest
criminal in history ; and he is, fur
thermore, ajn occupant of the chair of
St. Peter, the infallible pontiff of a
Church whjch claims to be connected
with Christianity.
"Alexadc-r did not hate or condemn
the world ; he was no Titanic skeptic
or atheist, whose profound disbelief in
divinity, and raging scorn of human
ity, fed him to despise heaven and to
defy hell. No he believed- ml his
way but he could turn from iiicest,
from adultery, from murder, to wor
ship the Virgin, to perform mass, to
fulfill any "cif - the highest : and most
mystical functions of sacerdotal sacred-
ness. .file was .nearly always.stlcoess-r
ful ; he waS invariably happy. A "In
him vere blended materialism and
siqierstitioni He touches humanity
chiefly in Ins love for his children, but
is otherwise! as infrahuman as lie "is
ttndivine. It would almost seem as
if some demon had, in mockery of
nien, created a being who should thrive
through unsurpassed wickedness, and
who asTTie; profoundest effort of dev
ilish satire ptshou Id be placed on high
in the then chief office of Christendom,
.and be worshiped by millions as the
infallible representative on earth of
the all-wise, all-merciful, omniscient,
and eternal God."

Tun New York papers publish a
complaint ejninating from the State
Board of Charities of the large num
ber of pauper immigrants who arejnst
now reaching the port of New York
from foreign countries.-" These objec
tionable immigrants include the maim
ed, the halt and the blind. The New
York Board suggests that CongrcssJ
provide by law the funds required to
meet the expense of returning such
parties to ih place of their departure,
and that United States Ministers and
Consuls abroad be instructed to inter
fere as far as
possible to prevent the
foreign paupers to :. the
shipment of
United Stated. The efforts of the New
York officials in devising means to
check this evil should be heartily sec
onded by tne authorities of other
States, and Congress should give heed
to the demand for an official remedy.

on account of a monster snake which Infest
ed that neighborhood. Mr. Jonas Deal saw
it a few ears ago and said it looked fully
thirty-feet long. It made a terrible noise as
it lashed the ground with its huge body and
Mr. Deal retreated, glad to escape with his
life. Many of tho honest Dutch thought it
a boa-constrictor that had escaped from
some show, and crowds of men gathered
week after week witli dogs and guns to
look for hissnakeshjp, and, if possible, over
power and kill him. Last week as Mr. Set
zer was walking aloue through a field in
that vicinity, lie came upon a snake which
must be a son or grandson of the first nam

eight feet long, and eight inches across the
head. Mr. Setzer got a fence rail and with
several well directed blows managed to dis
patch it. The shake will be stuffed and put

that these letters were probably forwarded
(though .without due authority) by some

areagaiii reminded of the recent order of
the Postnaster General that in evesy case
of a letter mailed the direction must bear
the name of the State as well as that of the
city or town to which it is directed. Thus,
under the ruling referred to, a letter address
ed simply to a party in "New York,"uPhil

mailable. After the name ot the city in

may be. It matters not that the order is a
foolish one. To observe it i3 to be on the

learned, and has been surrounded by all

Durham Tobacco Plant: The internal rev
enue books show that there has been an im
mense increase in the tobacco business of
Durham during the past year. For, the
month; of October, 1878, Durham paid $53
838, revenue, and this when the tax was 24
cents On tho pound, the number of pounds
stamped and sold being 224,325. For the
month of October, 1879, our town paid $72,
048.48, at the rate of 10 cents on the pound.

ing the month just ended 450,303 lbs., over
double the business of October, 1878.
It is a most fortunate thing for the Demo
crats that Mr. Chandler died m a Northern
city. : Had he come to his end in the South,
it would have been stoutly maintained that
he was "slain by the Southerners, by some
Confederate Brigadier, and thousands of
persons would have been made believe it
Since, he died in Chicago, however, and as
there are no proofs -that JelF Davis nor any
other southerner had anything to do with
his taking off, we stand some chance of elect
ing our candidate for President next year.
Ctartotte Observer.
Religious papers and nil in tho North
aro united "solidly" in persistent misrep
resentation and slander of the South.
They know the power of iteration. It is
the loiig-continned, oflf-reieated dropping
of water that wears away the stone. By
repetition of a lie even good men will be
induced to believe it. The South is held
responsible for a murder or an outrage or
a fair-fight in an open field, if the slayer
is a Democrat aud tho slayed a Republi
can. Tho Chicago- Standard an able and
generally mild tempered Baptist paper,
demands that the entire South shall make
a "real protest" against the shooting of
Dixon and thoChisholm trial. It is pleas
ed to j say that unless this "real protest'
id made tliaj; the best friends of the
South i hi the North will "find it diffi
cult to retain even sentiments of common
respect for such a people."
CONGRESSMAN; VOORIIIS'S FAILURE.
New York, Not. 2 Congressman Charles
H. Voorhis is known throughout the entire
northern part ofNew Jersy as well as the
Fifty district, which he represents. He has
been conspicuous in politics, in-the church
aud in all social 'gatherings. When there
fore it, was announced on Saturday that he
had failed for $350,000 there was great ex
citement in Hackensack, where he lives, and
all through that region, -Tor he had business
relations with a great number of persons.
His integrity and Christian conduct had led
people to trust him, and he was the custo
dian of the funds of many estates, and mere
than a score of widows and orphans had
put their all in his hands. The first result
was a rim on the two banks with which he
had close business relations. It i3 expected
that this will be continued to morrow. Mr.
Voorhis, with tears running down his
checks,: said to a reporter that he did not
know why he had pursued the course that
had brought him thus to ruin. It has not
developed what this course was, but specu
lation is hinted at.
Of course we don't expect a man who
couldn't see auy flaws in Grant's adminis
tration in the time of it to suddenly be
come coolly critical in these times. Wo
don't quarrel with the old Grant crowd a
bit for glory fying him, but we do quarrel
with tho peoplo who now want to "jine"
in the Grant boom, who ush1 to know
better and ought to now. Springfield Re
