THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.
. On .Wednesday we pointed out
what we conceived to be the simple
issue of this Congressional campaign.
The Democratic party stands pledged
to reform in all departments of the
government. It is Bimply bound to
bring about great financial and eco
nomical reforms as soon as it gets
control of both branches of Congress.
After the 4th of March next, tl
Senate, so long time under the domi-
nancy of the Radicals, will be Demo
cratic. The House of Representa
tives, now Democratic,; may become
Radical unless the people are pare
enough and united enough to resist
such an unfortunate event at the
polls. It will be an eternal reproach,
an eternal Bource of regret, if by
either lnlcewarmness, or blindness or
corruption - they should allow j the
Democratic House to be changed into
a Radical arena of corroptioD, of bull
dozing and jobbery. ! " t i
,We - do no fear any such resalt.
The people m the other States are
awake to the importance of having
' a House as well as a Senate not un
der Radical control. . In most of the
Districts in North. Carolina ; the peo
pie are not asleep or sapine. :Bat in
the Sixth District there is reported
much carelessness and indecision,that
are not lovely to behold. - In
District the Democrats ; are
this
not
aroused as they should be. They
seem to think there is no langer,that
Col. Waddell will certainly be elected
whether they work or vote or not.
This is a ; mistake. , Col. Waddell
will be elected, we have no doubt,
out it win De Decause auty ; is per
formed and Democrats go to the
polls and stand up for principles, for
the country, for themselves and their
children. CoL Waddell is the expo
nent of Democratic principles. He
has an excellent record ' as to j his
votes and speeches on the j im
portant questions of finance. He
advocates precisely those changes in
the financial policy of the country
that the best informed Greenbackeirs
favor, and that the Democratio party
is luttuiuiiy Btruggung 10 Dring aDout.
Col. Waddell has for years advocated
the very measures of financial reform
insisted upon by Judge Thurman in
his admirable forceful and lucid
Hamilton speech. He is to-day abreast
with those who demand great and
salutary changes in the governmental
policy," and he should be warmly sus
tained. 'i
5 " ,lf any man who may ,run . agaiust
him should by any chance be elected,
what ? must result His successful
" opponent "could not possibly carry
out any financial reforrasdenianded
, save by cooperating witb.': the" Dem
ocrats? .Is it remotely probable that
any man: elected by . Radical votes
would be found workings in Demo
cratic harness ?' Is it not worse than
folly to turn out a Democrat of eight
years' experience, who is consistently
au advocate of genuine financial re
form, to put in a man who is obliged
to co-operate 5 with" Radicals, and
thereby continue the present bac; sya--
lem that has prostrated the industries,
or bolt'the party that puis him in
power ? , , ' - 11 -
It-iscertaiiily - censurable lo-oiH.4
tinae or help continue lrie':poTTcyQf
the Radical party. It bet ray a pos-t
itive hostility to the best interests of.
the countryj and to the heavily bur-:
dened tax-payers of the land. Work
for Col. Waddell,and then be sore
to go to the polls and vote for Col.
Waddell. , i
The Radical leaders in the North,
without any conspicuous exception
save Butler alone, are all canvassing,
or favoring the old system so fa
vorable to the goldites and bond-:
holders, and so inimical to the indos-
trious poor man, be he farmer; or me-;
cbanic, or tradesman. Blaine, Conk-
ling, Hayes," his Cabinet, all, are;n6Wi
endeavoring to convince the, country,
that the financial policy of the Radical
party is the true policy for the coon-"
try. Do1 you believe it? Has experience
proved it? Have you growH richer or.
poorer? Do you desire this crushing
policy to be continued ? If not, then
vote for the Democratic nominee in
this district; if not, then exert all
your influence in behalf of Col. Wad
dell. With a Democratic Seuate and
a Democratic Hdusu, you will get
just such reforms in finance as are
best for the country, best for you. :
Without a Democratic House you
will see no financial changes; but a
continuance of that system of which.
John Sherman is the mouth piece,
that has already paralyzed the whole
country, ind reduced tens of thou
sands to poverty and want. We pay
again, if you really desire a change
in the financial policy of the govern
ment vote for Col. Waddell, the
Democratic candidate for the Houso
of Representatives. . L
Remember, too, for it is extremely
important, that upon the complexion
of the next House of Representatives
will depend in all probability who
shall be the next President and- Vice
President of the United States.
If the! election should go to the
HouseJ which now seems quite proba
ble, the vote of Col. A. M. Waddell
may be the very vote that will settle
the question.. Suppose he is beaten
by one! vote, and you fail to vote,wilt
you not always regret your culpable
neglect ? Suppose a Radical Grant
himself, blackest of all Radicals and
most dangerous of Radicals should
be elected by only one vote,' what
would be your feelings ever hereaf
ter? Remember the past and act
well the present. It is not impos
sible, it is not improbable, , that
one vote may decide the Presidential
question. Did not one vote settle
the contest in 18f 6? If Mr. Tilden
had received one vote more than he
did the probability is he would have
been installed into the office that is
rightfully ; and legally his, and the
great Louisiana and Florida outrages
would pot have been perpetrated. ; t
We entreat the Democrats of the
Third District to go to ; work in ear
nest. Every day shows the im
portance of vigorous and wisely di
rected efforts. Fall in Democrats,
keep up the touch of the elbow, and
march to triumph: I
There is another witness in the Fitz
John Porter case on the side of
Pope that deserves a passing men
tion. He is a journalist a first-class
romancer, as will be seenand his
name is CoK Thomas F. McCoy, of
Lewistown, Pa. . He testified that he
heard Gen. Porter say to the stenog
rapher, 'I was not loyal to Pope;; I
was loyal to McClellan." On cross
examination he could not recall any
of the rest of the conversation by any
one present, or any facts or circum
stances connected with : the matter.
Gen. Sehofield asked him if he had
tried at jthe time to give a rational
explanation how a man, at sueh a
time and under such circumstances,
could make such' a speech to a 'stran
ger and a newspaper correspondent
and he said, he regarded it as an un
guarded expression. This is a very
improbable ' and absurd ; yarn. ; He
should join the Louisiana ' Band. r It
may throw s light on the 'subject to
know that he was at one time a cor
respondent of the New York : limes,
a very able and a very unscrupulous
Radical paper. Z, St"-r' - - .

citizens remember to their sorrow. Afinan-
cial panic came, , tue , banks . suspended

"Mr. Bunter thinks that what has hap
pened is certain to happeD again unless a
wiser system of finance be - adopted. . He
suggests a system, and argues it with his
usual ability. He onco believed that this
Government had not the constitutional
power to issue Treasury ' notes, and make
them a legal tender for all debts, both na
tional and individual, but more mature re
flection has brought his mind to a different
conclusion. iHe now believes that the Fede
ral Government has not only: the power,
but should exercise it, to the exteut of con
trolling the entire currency of the country.
His plan is set forth in such plain terms
that every reader will examine it for him
self. It is destined to elicit much discus
sion.
At St. Louis the colored Republicans
have formally repudiated the Republican
party, with the cutting reraaik that the
claim of that organization to dictate politi
cal action to colored men is a piece of un
paralleled impudence. Such "ingrati
tude V,-Louume Lourier-JourTUU.
They do things better in the Second
District iq this State." A few white
Rads have declared that O'Hara,
colored, the regular Radical nominee,
must "step down and out" to oblige
Lot Humphrey, who "pented hisself"
a few years ago, and allow him to
draw the $5,000 per annum. It re
mains to be seen if O'Hara will obey
the mandate, and if the "colored
Republicans" of the Second District
wilt do as their brethren in St. Louis,
"repudiate" both Humphrey and his
newly found party.
Before the Ohio election it was an
nounced that car loads of Philadel
phia ballol-stuffers and roughs bad
gone to Cincinnati in the interests of
the Radicals. This will help explain
any changes adverse to the Demo
crats that may have occurred in Pork
opolis. ; The Northern cities can beat
the world in perverting the ballot
and cheating the" honest people.

Known us existence, ana win uroceea
to set forth briefly the reasons for it.
' "I believe that, what is khawn as
our 'civil service,' as it; now, exists,
and has long existed, is a crime
against popular government, and ci
vilization 1 I believe it has been thb
chief cause of many troubles arid cor
ruptipns in the past, and,' if not th'o
: ro u gh ly- re f o r med, w i 1 1 su rely und e r "
mine and destroy our tree institutions.
I will not stop here : to ;. discuss, the
grounds of this belief. They have been
long and well considered,and have pro
duced absolute conviction. : I always
did abhor that old party slogan, To
the victor belongs the spoils." It was
never suited to any but bandits and
plunderers, and was always disgrace
ful to men claiming to be patriots
and statesmen. It reduces the science
of government to the tricks of gam
blers, the hypocrisy of demagogues,
and the blows of ruffians. I beard
Mr. Hayes, when, in bis inaugural
address, be anuounced his policy, or
rather his puipose, of civil service
reform. To say I was pleased would
feebly express the truth. . In spite of
my conviction that he was not elect
ed by the people, but owed his office
to unmitigated frauds, for which, I
believe he was not responsible, I felt
willing to bury this last and greatest
wrong with the many that had pre
ceded it, and for which all sides were
more or less responsible, and unite
my humble efforts in support of a
policy which, in my Judgment, pro
mised escape to our whole country
from all such wrongs in the future. :
'
This evil had its origin before the
war. It had grown up under the
nurture of the leader of parties. -It
bad pushed its brazen supporters and
beneficiaries to the front seats of au
thority. It bad grown and strength
ened with every year, and seemed to
have entrenched itself, irapregnably
during General Grant's administra
tion. When, therefore, in the very
day of Us insolent power, in the very
midst of its pampered courtiers, and
on the very field of its greatest sway,
Mr. Hayes announced in clear and
unfaltering voice, his purpose to
strangle this hydra of many heads,
he seemed to exhibit courage, man
liness and patriotism of one worthy
to be President. This exhibition
gave me high hopes of the man, and
several early, free and frank j inter
views which I felt encouraged to seek
with him greatly strengthened and
encouraged these hopes.
He has failed because he has shown
himself utterly unequal to his oppor
tunity. He has shown himself un
equal in that he has utterly failed to
realize that the Chief Magistrate of a
great country has no personal friends,
no personal enemies, and ' owes no
personal obligations, but is under ob
ligations Only to his country, and to
that country's honor, glory, prosperi
ty, constitution and laws. He has
thrown away his opportunity to
honor himself and even his country
by recognizing an obligation to re
ward those, who, by frauds most dis
graceful to their country, gave him
this , opportunity. : He has thrown
away the grandest opportunity ever
given to a man, only that he might
give offices and rewards to as worth-,
less a set of rapscallions as ever
disgraced humanity. How
has Mr. Hayes dealt with those who
committed,vand' those who were
charged with' aiding .to commit, the
crime by which he became President ?
If you will examine the list from the
humblest manager of the election
precints in Florida and Louisiana,
through the visiting statesmen , as
they are now in mockery called, and
up to and through the Electoral Com
mission, and show me one, black or
white, high or low, who is known to
be guilty, or who is suspected of the
guilt of "this crime, who has not re
ceived or been offered an offioe, you
will relieve to that extent the
jain and mortification I feel - in
looking ' over these sickening de
velopments. ; ":; ; If ; there
be a greater crime it is committed by
those who reward the authors of such
fraud, for such reward invites the
perpetual defeat of the. popular will,
and, therefore, a direct subversion of
the government, .and assumes, the
most insidious form of treason. It is
worse than no excuse it is itself a
crime to say. : that Mr.:. Hayes was
under obligation to these authors of
fraud. 2,l . i(io";?if5i?r' ;'; (Every man
of the guilty gang who has not, been

And yet, after all, the medical fra
ternity might as well acknowledge
that they are nonplussed . as regards
the true statement of this wide
spread fever. They can neither pre
vent or cure it. Some of its most
experienced nurses have been as suc
cessful in the treatment of the dis
ease as the most skillful physicians.
The many conflicting theories which
have arisen in .the treatment of the
yellow fever attest the fact that the
profession has no accurate knowledge
of the caus of the disease. i
f Some say it is contagious, others
that it is not. Some affirm that it is
produced by too much alkili in the
blood, and others that there is not
enough. Many say it is produced by
miasma. Their mode of treatment
is as different as their theories one .
employs heat, the other cold some
prescribe alkalies and others acid,
and yet no "heroic" treatment has
been agreed upon by the medical pro
fession to arrest this most dreadful
disease. '.
