W. Hall, who spoke as follows Mb, President and Gentlemen I have accepted tho invitation of the chairman of the Republican county committee to address you upon the political issues of the day, because I believe this a time when it is the duty of every man to take some interest in politics and publio affairs. Not for the purpose of getting office, or the advancement of one's personal interest, but because it is the duty of every citizen, where the people must bo the rulers if the Republic is to last, to uso his influence and his ballot, not only to elect high minded and intelligent publio officials, who will further honest government, but to be governed by settled principles, which will promote our welfare and prosperity, individually and collectively. The man who always casts his vote under conscientious convictions, is a patriot ranking by the sido of the soldier who springs to his arms when the nation is menaced by a toe. I he itepuDhc can never die if a majority of its citizens are made up of such men it will not long live if considerations of this kind fail to find a lodgement in tho breasts of tho electors.

Tho time has now come in our history when men who have "kept out or politics 7 be cause they thought there was nothing sound nor honest in them who held aloof from taking any open part in governmental affairs, because of the alleged general political corruption who even went so far as to absent themselves from tho polls and atreravated the evils of the times by exag gerating tho worst side of tho condition of atlairs anu prophesying evil all arouuu must shoulder their share or tho responw bility of government. A government of the people, and for the people, must be a government by the people and it is tho duty of every man to do his share of the work to preserve and perpetuate all that is good in the Republic of our fathers. Fellow citizens, I am neither in office or a candidate for place. I desiro to speak to you without bitterness, prejudico or pas sion. I rccognizo that there are several political parties, holding different views, and controlled by different principles each represented by respectable and most worthy gentlemen, who solicit tho suflrages of the people as the representatives of their organizations.

we an nave a nj to our opinions, and we would be unfit to exercise the right of suffrage if we did not think out tho prob lem ot government lor ourselves and ex. press our thoughts at the polls. I am not here to auuse any man because he docs not or will not agree with me. I will frankly ana piainiy as i can, speak: my sentiments, ana give same or the reasons which contro, me. 1 clo not assume to sneak for all Re.

publicans. I have no sympathy with the disposition manifested in some parts of the country to sneer at tho claim that the Re publican party is entitled to tho support of the country becanso of its war record. It will be a sad and evil day for the land when aU tho lessons to be learned from tho recent rebellion are not thought of and pondered over by tho people. Too much credit cannot be given to the party that was always right during the long months of tho four eventful years of the war. Too much censure cannot be charged to the party that was always wrong.

Perpetually should the lesson of the past be kept before pres ent and future generations; for it is our richest legacy of a country saved, its constitution and laws upheld by the bravest and best of the Republic's oitizen soldiers' who died to give it present life and future peace. The war settled certain principles to be the very corner stone of the republic, and we cannot be too familiar with them, or too deeply impress them on the rising generation. This is not waving the bloody shirt. It is taking counsel of the past for our guidance in the future. What is tho situation of the present, fellow citizens, and what should we do in view of the future I shall not detain you by any history of the rebellion, its overthrow, or what the victory cost in men and money.

The spring Of 1865 found tho rebels on their last legs and beaten everywhere. They surrendered because they could do no better. They had rebelled against their country and her laws. They were unsuccessful in ruining the Government which, up to the time of their rebellion, had been their very meat and drink. The end of the war found slavery abolished, and the organic law of the land amended in the interest of freedom and peace.

Thirteen years have passed, and it is certainly not saying too much to aver that we now witness the sama rebels who tried to destroy tho Nation, busy in its rule. No one of them has been punished. They have cost the Union more than three billion of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of human lives they have caused our commerce to be destroyed paralyzed our industries by causing tho men to forsake homo and shop for the field filled our land with death and diseased or crippled soldiers. My fellow citizens, do you not think wo have been living under a too magnanimous Government; and that we would not be surrounded with some of the perils of the present if some of the steamer policy of the great and wise Stephens had been the policy of the Government. What is the condition of affairs to day all through the South the "Solid South?" What is the one universal sentiment which rules there a sentiment made not by a rulo of the majority but by the worst of tyranny, aad the most terriblo of despotisms by a minority.

The entire South which controlled the Democratic party North and South before the rebellion sends a solid delegation to tho lower House at Washington, making a large ma jority of the Democratic members, and theso control tho caucus, and settle the policy of the party. And a Pennsylvania sneaker at their dictation appointed as chairmen, a majority of all tho committees of the House, men who not ouly did their best to overthrow tho Government, but who were chosen by their constituents to represent them as a reward lor their services as rebels. They will dominate the Senato after the fourth of March next, and if they then control the House, will shape tha whole legislation ot the land. Any one who has closely observed the course of tho Democratic politicians, South, since the closo of the war, must have serious mis givings touching their fidelity to the constitution, as it is their honest submission to the results ot the war, or their willing ness to accord to tho colored man the rights guaranteed to him by tho laws of the land, notwithstanding tho cheap gush of some of their orators in the halls of Congress, and the, cheaper resolutions annually embodied in State platforms. The Southern people wero never before so nearly of ono mind on tho old heresy of States rights.

No party any longer takes issue with them on that question, or indeed any other issue within their jurisdiction. Tho constitutions of the several States, which re cognized the permanent authority of tho National Government on their readmission into the Union, have been reformed, and all such offensive matter stricken out since the Democrats have gained the control of the State governments. The colored man is every where denied, not by law alone but in fact, the rights and privileges of a freeman. Thero are more military schools and more of military training now in the South than ever before. It would be interesting to tho people of the North to have an honest report of tho administration of tho proceeds of tho public lands granted to tho rebel States after the war, to found and endow agricultural colleges, at which both whito and colored might bo educated to labor.

It would bo found that military schools have, in most of tho States, been organized instead, where tho students are exclusively white, and clothed in confederate gray. Tho histories in all these schools and colleges have been carefully revised and brought into harmony with southern sentiment. Monuments to tho confederate dead are rising over the country as fast as the funds can bo obtained, and everywhere and on all occasions of interest tho absence of tho National is conspicuous. The policy or the wisest ot the southern leaders has, within the last few years been acquiesed in and acted upon by tho great body of the Southern people. A few of the more honest and outspoken men like Toombs and Jefferson Davis have never concealed their hatred of the National Government, or denied that they will seek the first opportunity to overthrow it.

But tho Lamar and Gordon school have put themselves at tho head of their party, not only the bouth but JNortu as well, and pass for national men patriots and statesmen. The respect which they profess to feel for the Constitution, for tho payment of tho national debt, the honor and integ rity of the country, and tho rights and well being of the negro race, constitutes' them in every sense Republicans. General Loncr strect held no sounder or oloarer views of national policy, but Longstreet is not trusted by the boutbern people, becanso he is believed to be honest in the expression of Jus sentiments, lhe other gentlemen aro better understood at home thau at the North or East, else they would not be where they are. The plan (known as the Mississippi plan) of action seems to have been formed by a general understanding among tho ex rebel leaders in the several States, soon after the admission of the States under the recon struction acts; and was put in operation at tho first general election in the several States after their admission say about 1872. It did not succeed in all the States at onco; but they steadily pursued their line of conduct until they gamed possession of all tho local governments south ot the Potomac.

While in pursuit of the State governments, and feeling doubtful whether they would be permitted to carry their purposes to a successful result, they in many cases, conceded Republican or Independent members of Congress and Senators, as an evidence of their conservatism. But such liberality only lasted until they felt secure in their usurped authority. A solid South has been their aim from the start, and it must be admitted that they have achieved the desired result with consum mate skill. Tho people of the North and East not seeming to appreciate the significance of a compact body of States giving one hundred and thirty eight electoral votes. which cannot be divided, demoralized or drawn off by any issuo subordinate to tho "lost cause." Being secure in tho possession of homo affairs, they are now bringing the same diligence and skill to the work of securing tho next uouse ot iteprescntatives, winch wil give them control of both branches of Con gress on the 4th of March next.

And it must be born in mind that a house depend ing upon contested seats is beyond nucs tion a Democratic House. This done. need expect but little else of tho present Continued on Third Page. HARRISBURG, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1878. SECOND EDITION CARE FOR THE MARINER.

IMPROVEMENTS IN L.IEE SAVING APPARATUS. Recent Experiments in the Ordnance Department Remarkably Successful Recommendations of the Chief of the Bureau Arkansas Fostmasters to bo Prosecuted THIS L.IF.E SAVING SEKVICK. Providing for the Safety of Jolly Jack Tar. Special Dispatch to the Telegraph. Washington, Oct.

14. In the forthcoming report of the Chief of Ordnance it is shown that the experiments of the officers of this branch of the service for the purpose of promoting the efficiency of the life saving apparatus used upon our coast have been remarkably successful. In the efforts to increase the range of the shot line a series of experiments conducted by Lieut. Lyle have resulted in his obtaining the extraordinary range of a fraction less than seven hundred yards. This is far beyond the best results attained heretofore in this or any other country.

Tho Ordnance Bureau is now engaged in superintending the construction of improved apparatus for tho use of tho service, which will greatly increase its facilities for saving lives during the coming season. The Chief of Ordinance also recommends additional appropriates for arming and equipping tho militia of the country, the present appropriation being entirely inadequate to furnish arms and equipments to many of the States where the organization of new mili tia companies is rapidly going on. It is also ro commended that additional legisla tion be asked for such colleges as apply for arms and military instructors to tho Government, it being claimed that such institutions exercise a great influence in keeping alive the military spirit of the country. ARKANSAS FOSTMASTERS. A Cod In Pickle for Some of Them.

Special Dispatch to the Telegraph. Washington, Oct. 14. From intima tions at the Postoflico Department it is evident that an effort will bojnade to secure tho conviction of certain postmasters in fourth class offices, in the State of Arkan sas, who have violated the laws of the United States regarding the sale of postage stamps for less than their face value. The department is making an earnest effort to secure persons of position and responsibility to take charge of this class of offices, and iave, many States, licen remarkably suc cessful in carrying out this line of policy.

FROM WOBMLEYSBUEG. Attempt to Barn a Church Death of a Father In Israel. From An Occasional Correspondent. Wormieysburg, Oct. 14.

An attempt was made on last Saturday night to set fire to tho Bethel church in Wormleysburg. The would be incendiaries collected a quality of greasy waste and placed it under the rear of the coal house adjoining the church and set fire to it. Fortunately it was discovered by several young men from Fair view, who promptly gave tho alarm, and the fire was extinguished before any material damage was done. The sudden death of Father Bruce, which occurred last night, has cast a feeling of gloom over the entire cummunity. The old gentleman was in the enjoyment of apparent good health up to last night, when he attended services at the U.

B. church in this place, and whilst in the act of offering up a public prayer, it is supposed he ruptured a blood vessel. At the conclusion of the prayer ho left the church to go to his house, about fifty yards distant from the church. On the way home ho was heard to cough violently several times, throwing up a large quantity of blood each time. Reaching home he fell on the porch, dying almost immediately, his head reclining on his wife's arm.

Father Bruce was about sixty seven years of age. He was an honorable, upright Christian gentleman, and his loss will bo deeply felt, and we feel assured that his bereaved companion and children have tho warmest sympathies of their friends and neighbors in this their deep affliction, m.
