TUESDAY. OT0BEB 3. 187B. The nly time our Bullock presses are op erated tn ihe daytime is during the forenoon of Tuesday, each week. At that time our press-room is open to all, and our friends are cordial: invited to avail themselves of the opportunity to gratify their curiosity to see the fastest presses in the world.

HiG3 westerly to northerly winds, gradually diminishing in force, nd probably rain. A Mississippi Democratic paper explains Why the Southern Democrats will vote for Mr. Tilden "We can confide in Mr. Tilden in the matter of State rights. He was.

brought up in the school of State rights t- aa it were, at the very feet of Gamaliel." That Democrat knows what he is talking about. Thb Eastern question grows in magnitude, and threatens even more serious complications than now exist. The Russian bear is growling ominously, and threatennig to throw aside his fox's 'skin entirely. It's a time of anxiety and dread to humanitarians, and a time for calculation and speculation to the commercial world, to end probably in ruination if ley don't guess right. Better not risk too much.

The street display in Cincinnati on Saturday night, an incident of the city's welcome- to Blaine, is pronounced the most brilliant affair of the kind ever made in that city. Among the transparencies carried was one with the legend: In Hayes we trust, in Tilden we bust." On the inside of the canvas is the following sequel to the legend, designed for display on the evening of the Presidential election: "November, 1876. IaHayes we trusted, and Tilden we busted." Thzhe- is evidently a trade in South Carolina. The Democratic papers publish "rolls of honor" of influential men who will vote for the Democratic State ticket, but for Hayes and Wheeler. Lukewarm Republicans are induced to vote for Hampton by the promise of the withdrawal of the Democratic electoral ticket.

But a Republican government in the State is a matter of such importance that it oannot be risked in such a venture. A "Republican does less than his duty when he fails to vote both the State and national tickets. GXXZBAl H. G. WoRTHTSOTOX, of Charleston, S.

is a conservative Republican, but he does not hesitate to say that troubles in South Carolina come as the result of the fixed determination of the Democrats to wrest the State byiforce of arms from the Republicans, to the end that the old rebel leaders may carry out theirideas as to the negroes, and State policy. The General says. urther, that not for fifty years have the affairs of South Carolina been bo economically and judiciously administered as they are now. The followingwere the closing quota-totitns last evening: Gold, 110. Wheat firm; $1.0734 seller October, $1.088 seller November.

The friends of Governor Hayes have thought proper to answer and expose a ridiculous 'story that appeared in the Chicago Times one day last week relative to one Leroy, who, it was alleged, left a thousand dollars in the hands of ihe General during the war, which the tatter failed to account for. It is all well enough, perhaps, to seriously notice tola trashy which appeared without or sense in the Chicago organ of Tilden, but we can assure the friends of Governor Hayes that such a course was entirely unnecessary, and rather dignifies a story which here, where the character of the paper publishing it is known, wa passed by with simple contempt. We publish the reply to the silly trash because we have been requested to do bo, and not because we think any reply necessary.

The Charleston S. Xews and Courier of Sept, 29 has a leading editorial article advising Democrats to employ no colored men unless they will promise to vote the Democratic ticket. With shameless effrontery it makes out the programme: "Make, them (the negroes) understand "that when hands are wanted only those who voted the Democratic ticket will be "taken, and that, when any money Is to be paid out or any employment whatsoever is to bo furnished, the Demo "cratlo voters will preferred to all "others, and they will open their eyes, "see light tor the first time, and give a "solid support to the Democratic candidates. Do, this la every county, and Hampton will be elected by an over-' whelming majority. The game Is In our own hands.

If the cards are played right." This Is not in aDemocratic secret circu TILE: VJLlLiX LNrlXB-UUJ3AIT. TUESDAT MOBNING, OCTOBEll 1370. lar. It Is the concluding portion of an editorial article In the leading Democratic paper In the State. It Is the South Carolina idea of conducting a political campaign.

With this article before them, the readers have a key to the recent troubles in South Carolina. If the negroes will not consent to abandon principle, then they must be frightened by show of force. It this does not oompel them to vote for the Democratic candidates, they must not be allowed to vote at all that is, they must be shot. South Carolina, boldly advocating proscription and threatening worse, presents a picture in 1876 akin to that of South Carolina at the opening of the war. THE BEHTLX ADAJtS.

A wag has said that "mankind is divided into three classes saints, sinners, and the Beecher family." When the Adamses found themselves too virtuous for the companionship of either of the great political parties of the country, the joke of the wag applied In this way: "The people are divided into three partiesRepublicans, Democrats, and the Adams family." But the Hon. Charles Francis Adams has spoiled the wag's aphorism. He has jumped off the Independent fence and tumbled into the arms of the Democratic party. And now when he speaks and writes ho speaks and writes like a mortal man, and like a common partisan Democrat. "What a fall was there, my countrymen!" Mr.

Adams was invited to go to Ohio and there enter the canvass; but his physical condition, and especially his voice, prohibits his acceptance of the invitation. His voice is the weak voice of an aristocrat; but his letter is the letter of a very nasty Democrat From it we learn that the representative of the long line of the Adamses can stoop to wholesale misrepresentation with the facility of a Hendricks or a Tilden. Note the following falsehood from the pen of Charles Francis Adams The disclosure of the last few rears distinctly prove that the whole existing organization ha been honeycombed with corruption, which not even the most earnest efforts of the honest men of the Republican party have bjen effectual to check. If required to prove this sweeping assertion, Mr. Adam3 would be at fault.

He would find from the record, and the record is the only legitimate source of inquiry, that the administration of "the last few years" has been the purest and best administration the country has ever had. The accounts of the government show this fact, and all the assertions of all the Adamses are not sufficient to overthrow a fact. But read further from this member of the Adams family, that family once renowned for its record of devotion to truth and political honesty: On the other hand. th of the convention at St. Ioui' shows a wholly different spirit.

Not satisfied with making much the strongest ucla, ration of the principles on whl-h they propose to they went on directly to nominate by a large majority a man who. by his energ-tic and vigorous pro-tecution of a difficult and dangerous task of reform in his own Hrat. had given the strongest pledges lothe country, not simply of his will, but of his power, to meet emergencies of all sorts. Is it possible that Charles Francis Adams is Ignorant of the fact that Governor Tilden's pretended reform of canal abuses in the State of New York was a sham? Does not ho know that Governer Tilden expended one hundred thousand dollars in fees to Democrats, and only convicted man? Does not he know that there is but one suit pending against the canal thieves of New York? Does not he know that of the score or more of grossly fraudulent canal contracts charged to bo in existence by Governor Tilden a year and a half ago not one has been stopped? But hear him once more. He says Another strong reason In my mind for preferring Mr.

Tilden In this emergency is that a new and clear policy toward the Southern States may be inaugurated, free from all the obstacles hitherto raised by a i hiss of the public men of thn North who live by ingratiating themselves with every element remaining among ns of the evil passions raised during the war. So long as this course is tolerated there will be no real harmony between the sections. This Is a favorable moment for stamping this spirit of malignity under our feet, by selecting a man whose well-known firmness and impartiality may reinstate mutual confidence and ultimately restore unity to the whole people. If Mr. Adams is not a secessionist, he certainly speaks very much as secessionists speak.

Ho thinks this a favorable moment for stamping out the spirit of malignity" displayed by public men of the North who insist that murder for political reasons at the South shall cease. This is precisely the position held by Jeff Davis and Ben Hill and John Randolph Tucker. They want to be "let alone," and Mr. Adams wants to let them alone. By denouncing the public men who denounce the civil and political ostracism of the negro and the carpetbagger Mr.

Adams becomes the apologist of assassination for political reasons. He ought to be ashamed of the Democracy, instead of seeking to court their favor and support. WILL THEY VOTE FOS HOXIE I Hoxie has sealed the fate of the Democratic party in the First (Chicago) Congressional District. It is openly charged that he bought his nomination, and he employed as negotiators a little coterie of the leaders of the most disreputable classes ot the community. McDonald, Trade, Camp these are the men who controlled a Democratic convention in one of the most Important Congressional districts In the country; and they found the representatives of the Democracy In convention exactly fit to be controlled, fit and ready to be bought like sheep in the shambles.

Democrats admit this: they admit that the convention was an assemblage of greedy, Venal scoundrels admit that the proceedings were appropriate only to a collection ot roughs, shoulder 'hitters, and plug-uglies; admit that Hoxle's money assembled the convention, controlled it, bought. It, stimulated its to shout, to curse, and swear and lie and cheat and steal their favorite Into a nomination. Will respectable Democrats support Hoxie Will Democratio merchants and bankers and doctors and law' yers property-holders and tax-payers vote to place John R. Hoxie in charge of their legislative affairs at Washington? It is charged py' Democrats who know that Hoxie hired a lot of disreputable Democratio leaders to buy the mass of Democratio voters at primaries to vote tor Hoxie delegates; that be hired them to buy Democratic delegates elected to vote for Barney Caulfleld; that he paid them $20,000 for, the job! Will Democrats who have stake In the city, the State, and the nation, who claim to be honest men, men lot principle, anxious for reform in the civil service, vote or John Hoxie and agpinst William Aldrlcht There is an excellent opportunity to test the quality of the Democratio reform cry. If that cry is no a miserable fraud, a sham covering lust of office and spoils, Mr.

William Aldrich will be elected by ten thousand majority. If the Democratio party is honest in its demand for reform, Mr. Hoxie will receive on the 7th of November next only the votes of the class he bought last Saturday. Respectable Democrats sa now that they will not vote for Hoxie how will it be a month hence? Will they be driven to the polls by the party truncheon-flourishers, and will they carry ballots for John Hoxie? KB. MOODT AHD HIS KJiJfLES.

The return of Mr. Moody to the scene of his early labors, and the comments made thereupon by one or two of our contemporaries and a large proportion of the citizens of Chicago, form but another and a striking illustration of the scriptural adage that a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country and in his own bouse. It is) admitted upon all hands, even by those most skeptical in religious matters, that whatever may be urged against the style of preaching and exhortation of which Mr. Moody is the model, or against his lack of scholarship or rhetorical culture, he entered upon his work with the earnestness ot Bin-cere conviction, has persevered in it with a devotion which few men have ever exhibited, and carried it to a successful issue in a style unparalleled In the history of revival work. There is not, so fares heard from, a word against his character or motives; and there have not been wanting spirits of evil, both here andn Great Britain, eager to catch at any brefth of calumny which might crush at once and forever this evangelist who dared to tell the truth.

Mr. Moody has had the fortune to be a successful man, in spite of himself. We do not believe that he possesses one grain of the actor's passion for applause. Fanatical he may be; we are not prepared at this writing to discuss that question; but vain and self-oonceited, a toady and and a parasite, he certainly is not. He has spoken out the truth as he believes it, fearlessly and plainly, not sugar-coated for the rich, and nauseous for the poor, but one truth for all that man must die.

that in his brief probation here he must seek out his own salvation with fear and trembling. Had Mr. Moody been an ordinary man, a favorite, a popularexhorter among a few, he would have moved along the even tenor of his way. Because he has chosen to take his stand upon the broad platform of commota humanity, to use his wonderful gifts iq the interests of all creeds and denominations, to declare all men free and equal in the sight of God and the Bible, he has metwith sneers and ridicule, as if he was a political trickster? a publio plunderer, or a candidate for the Presidency. Among those who have openly expressed their c6ntempt for and disapproval of Mr.

Moody and his work we have first and foremost our interesting contemporary, the Times, the representative the great unwashed of Chicago, the exponeat of cheap wit and coarse buffoonery. By placing in juxtaposition a few religious phrases and the slang of the lower class of groggeries this wonderfully able sheet Is sufficiently flattered if the horse-laugh of a few ignorant dolts ascends to its low-bred and cynical sanctum. A second class are the openly avowed atheists, although their enmity is less bitter than that of certain professing Christians, to whom we shall In turn' allude, To the atheist all religion is a sham, and Mr.Moody merely anothergospel-smasher a little nearer lunacy than his brethren. A third class are the uncompromising those who see nothing, believe nothing, and listen to nothing outside of their own narrow sect or platform. To them Mr Moody, or any other preacher who has not receivedUhe laying-on of hands, i3 merely a wolf In sheep's clothing, a sort of lusus nature, whom to listen to-would be 4 fallingfrom grace, or, as Amlnidub Sleek Would say, "an abomination Lat but not least In the list of those who ulns man with sneers come the great, army of people who either go to churc'i to fcave their ears tickled with soundin; rhetoric, or do not goat all.

In their eyes Mr. Moody Is no preacher he cannot hold a candle to such and such a one a fraud, who merely gets up an excitement for money or fame a fanatic, vjho either drinks or is crazy. These and many other unjust judgments meet upon the threshold of his work in Chicago a man whose name deserves the highest honor thej ctty has to bestow. The very fact that such llliberality exists In our midst is the proof that there is need for something more stirring than the fashionable homily or the moral lecture. Setting aside the truth or falsity of religion altogether, the man who by bis voice or Influence can rescue one unhappy man of woman from the clutches of crime, or drink, br passion has done a great work, a work for which he should receive the commendation ot his fellows.

How many thousands has Mr. Moody so rescued? Let 'the sooffer answer, and then say whether this man ot the people is not worthy the respect, the love, and the gratitude ot his fellow countrymen. The Edgefield (L Advertiser defies the government officers: "We will not swerve a hair's breadth from our course. "We shall not regard Grant's troops. "We shall receive their fire as the troops of Lexington andj.

Concord did, and we shall answer It, the blessing ot God, as the Lexlnton and Concord boys did; as the men of the treets of Boston did "as the men of Bunker and Moultrie did. "That is all, and kothing more. They cannot badger uf out of our election "with Federal troops; and If they fire on "us we will return It." The course from whioh they will not swerve la marksl by fraud, brutality, proscription. It the Federal troops interfere In the Interests of humanity or fairness, or of polltloal rights, they will be fired on. How Democratio victory In Ohio and Indiana would encourage these fellows.

THE IXTT LEO OT A GODDESS. A very melancholy report reaches us from France that the funds for the completion of the bronze statue of Liberty intended for presentation to the United States, and which was to have served as an emblem and lighthouse combined at the entrance to New Tork harbor, have suddenly given out From all accounts the bronze female, who was to have had a staircase In her left leg and a balcony in her back hair, will require to be completed by the United States, or forever after remain a thing of fancy. Two hundred thousand francs, we were told, had been subscribed toward the construction of this colossal statue, and a section, consisting of one arm, was sent for the inspection and approval of the New Yorkers. The thumbnail of the hand attached to this arm was so huge that the largest fat woman could sit down upon It with ease to herself and comfort to her skirts and surroundings. So far as the arm went appearances were favorable.

No bigger arm had been seen, and anticipation ran high as to the beauty and extent of the entire figure. But with this enormous arm and thumbnail the 200,000 francs had become exhausted, and no more funds being forthcoming, unless the United States sees fit to come to the rescue, there will be no more bronze female. If it took 200.000 francs to make one arm, the cost of the entire female. Including the staircase in her left leg and balcony in her back hair, would mount up to a couple of million dollars. The present financial condition ot the country scarcely warrants such an expenditure, even upon so necessary a luxury as a-combined goddess and lighthouse.

We fear, therefore, that all that exists of her, the arm with the big thumb, will have to be repectf ully declined, with thanks. A TEXT 7E9X THE ST. LOUIS PLATTOEH. The tariff plank is nothing more than dogmatism, unsupported by even the pretense of proofs, It would not be difficult, taking the assertions one by one, in their regular order, to show conclusively that each is either an absolute falsity, or else a monstrous perversion of the truth. We take the following proposition as an example: "It (the tariff) prohibits imports that might purchase the products of American labor." In point of fact, the tariff prohibits only one class of articles immoral books, obscene pictures, and the like.

Some manufactures which formerly were imported in copious quantities are now scantily imported; but this, in almost every instance, is because the protective policy has so developed and stimulated the home production as to enable our own manufacturers to outrival their foreign competitors in price, in quality, or in usefulness of product. Iron and steel rails may be mentioned as a case in point. In this way, highly beneficial to the whole country, certain commodities have been virtually excluded from importation, and would be if there were absolute free trade in those commodities. It Is not the tariff law which excludes, but the circumstances of production. No duty is levied on anthracite coal, and none is imported, because it would be brought from abroad into our markets only at a loss in competition with our own coal.

Now, if a high duty should be laid on the articles, could It be said, properly or consistently, that anthracite coal is prohibited from importation by the tariff? Such, however, is practically the position assumed, in the St. Louis platform. Various fabrics are no longer sent to this couhtry from Europe, and many others are forwarded in diminishing quantities, for the reason that the trade cannot be continued at a profit, or at sufficient remuneration. If it be asked, "Why, then, not abolish the duties as useless incumbrances of our tariff laws?" we answer, on the same account that we do not tear down our forts, empty our arsenals, and disband every company of soldiers as useless incumbrances upon a peace establishment. Tho future may contain contingencies of foreign competition no less than of war, against which wise statesmanship will always surely provide.

Below are two comparative tables, derived from official sources, and making thoroughly manifest the deliberate falsity of the tariff plank of the Democratic platform FTFTEX5 TEABS TCTDEB FABTIAL VBEB TBADE. Years ending Domestio Import Exports of June 30. exports. entries. Imports.

During the protective period we find a vast expansion of both exports and Imports; not the alleged restriction. The total of domestio exports as compared with that in the perfod of partial tree trade exhibits an increase of 105.4 per while a like contrast between the two footings ot import entries shows an augmentation of 71 per cent' This growth, toe was much fasttr than that of population, which advanced 44.2 per cent The figures of exports of imports also possess great significance. Although the ratio of these exports to aggregate import entries, In the first fifteen years, was 7.895 per cent, the like ratio, In the second fifteen years, was only 5.356 per cent, making It very clear that under proteclionweretained for horn consump tion a much larger proportion of our im ports than we didunder partial free trade. Under the series 'of tariffs beginning with that of March 2, 1861, we have sold more abroad, and bought more abroad, of a wide range of commodities, than we ever did before in a like term of years.

The vastness of these exchanges may be made appreciable by a simple Illustration. Our domestio exports, from the beginning of the government to June 30, 1861, amounted to for the fifteen years ending June 30, 1876. to $7,261,310,622, the value for the short term being much larger than that for the seventy-two years. Indicating an immense growth of export power. Further, our imports retained for consumption, during the long period, amounted to during the last fifteen years to.

$6,287,584,755, or to 84 per cent of the former value, exhibiting an immense increase of import power. These marvelous facts and figures possess the attributes, not of restriction or obstruction, but of expansion. What an abundance must have remained to be consumed at home, when we could spare so much to be sent abroad! What a remarkable capacity to buy and consume foreign goods is made manifest by the stupendous value ot Imports retained for our own use! After this remarkable exhibit, the folly ad falsity, to say nothing in the non- sense, of the proposition of the St. Louis platform will be sufficiently apparent by nerely quoting the sentence again (the tariff) prohibits imports that might purchase the products of American labor." The lie sticks out as conspicuously as a milestone on a much-traveled highway. The New York Herald has taken to moaning dismally over the Philadelphia Exhibition, and the diseases likely to be caught by unwary countrymen while visiting that deadly and malarial collection of structures.

In addition to the various kinds of malignant fevers, which, according to the Herald, lie in wait for the healthy and unsuspecting visitor, there is grave danger of a vast increase of insanity. The immediate cause of this terrible result of our international glorification is not stated, but the implication is that the rural mird, being unable to grasp the vastness of the display, or to carry home in its pocket a supply of the many valuables scattered around so promiscuously, is apt to become unhinged. The Philadelphia Bulletin suggests that the soda-water, the Japanese idols, the jangling of the pianos, or the Hibernian character oj the Turks in the Ottoman section are more likely to unseat reason. We think the calamity more apt to result from the restaurant chances, the nude art pictures, the noise of the Corliss engine, or the sight of so many officials in dandy uniforms. There is a sameness about the streets of Philadelphia, too, which might lead a man to a state ot chronic melancholy but it is difficult to perceive how the sijrht of so many beautiful objects should cause him to fancy himself a steam pump or a glass-blowing machine.

In the Herald's eyes the man who Is bold enough to visit the deadly halls of horticulture, art, and manufacture will inevitably cause reason to totter on its throne. This is indeed a terrible state of affairs, which, unless it be the result of heartless jealousy upon the part of the Herald, should be attended to at once by a properly constituted committee on lunacy. The Republican State Convention in Nebraska was a puzzle to the reporters. The outside world caught up Information in fragments, and all this was because of the war of factions in the convention.

As to the Senatorial question it says: The mischievous efforts of selfish and designing spirits to array the party into Irreconcilable factions for use at the eominc election of United States Senator next winter have; effectually failed. The convention has refused to proscribe jrentieman for their supposed preferences in the matter of the next Senator, and has presented a ticket composed of gentleman whose merits are their own. and whose importance is not derived from any personal cause which they may repre sent.
