FRIDAY..... ..JULY 23. 1870. LETTER r ACCEPT AXt'E. Columbcs, Oliio, July 8, 187G. To Hon. Edward McPherson, Hon. W.A. IIOWAKI), HON. J.R.liAINEY, and others, Committee of the Repub " lican National Convention Gentlemen; In reply to your official communication of June 17th, by which X am informed of my nomination tor tho office ot President ot the United States by tbe Republican Convention at Cin cinnati, I accept the nomination with gratitude, and hope that under Provi dence I shall be able, if elected, to exe cute the du'ics of the high office as I trust tor the benefit of all the people. I do not deem it necessary to enter ap on any extended examination ot the declaration of principles made by the Convention.. Tlie resolutions are in accord with my views and I heartily tsoucur in the principles they announce. , In several of the resolutions, however, questions are considered which are of each importance that I de;;m it proper to briefly express mv convictions in re gard to them. The 5th resolution adopted by the Convention is of para mount interest. More than forty years ago a question of making appointments to office grew np, based upon the maxim : "To the victors belong the epoik." The old rule, the true rule, that "honesty, capacity and fidelity" constitute the oulv real qualifications for office, and that tire re is no other claim, gave place to the idea that party services were to be chiefly considered. All parties in practice Lave adopted this system- It has been essentially Clod i tied siuce its first introduction. It lias not, however, been improved. At lirst the President, either direcHy or - i. ... i i i j . i . . , uruuii ins iicau oi aeparimenis, maae all the appointments; but gradually the appointing has in many cas pasted in- to the control of the members of Con gress. The offices iu these cases have become not merely rewards tor party servicas, but rewards for so vices to party leaders. This system destroys the inde pendence ot the separate departments of the government. Jt tends directly to extra vaaance and official iucanaeitv; it is a temptation to dUhonely; it hinders and impairs tha careful supervision and. strict accountability by which alone "faithful and efficient public Eervice can be securedj it obstructs tbe prompt re moval and sure punishment ot tho un worthy: in every way? it degrades the civil service and the character of the government ; it ia felt, I am confide by a large majority of the members of Congress to be an intolerable burden and an unwarrantable hindcrance to the - proper discharge ot their legitimate duties, aud it ought to be abolished. The reform should be thorough, radical and complete. We ehould return to the principles and practices of the launders of tbe government, supply hio legislation, when needed, that which was formerly tho established custom They neither expect uor desire from the public officer any partisan eervice; they ' merit that public officers should owe f their whole service to the government and to tbe people j they meant that the officer should bo secured . in bis tenure as lon as l:i personal character re mained untarnished, and the perform. ancu of his duties satisfactory. If elec ted I shall conduct the administration of the government on these principlee. and a'l constitutional powers vested in tbe executive will be employed to estab lish this reform. ; ' r i oe declaration or principles by tne Cincinnati convention 1 makes tin an. 7 lenlial term. I do not assume to add to that declaration ; but believing that the restoration of the civil service to the system established by Washington and followed by' tbe early Presidents i catt best be accomplished by an executive ; who ia under no temptation to use the patronage of liLs office to promote his A own election, I desire to perform what r , uuiy m siaung now my . inflexible purpose, if elected, net to be a wuuwaw tor election to a second term. ' On the currency question I have rr. oasntiy exiweseed mv ir. nr.Ki.. - and I rtaud by my record on thw sub! f 3eet. I Tegard a! Iaw of 4,he United istates relating to the payment of the - public indebtedness the legal tender ' notes included as constituting both a pledge and mora! obligation of the gov. emment which must in good faith be , Vept. It'is my conviction that the fec-1- - ing of uncertainty, inseparable from any ' irredeemable paper currency ' with its : fluctuations of value is one of the great obstacles to a revival of confidence and bn;,;rr one way the resumption of specie pay- meuts.

Ml classes of citizens in all their politi. cal and private rights. WJiat the South mo6t needs is peace, and peace depends upon the supremacy of law. There can be no enduring peace it the constitutional .rights of any portion ot me people are habitually disregarded. A division of political parties Vesting mainly upon distinctions of race and upon sectional lines is always unfortunate and may be disastrous. The welfare of the South, alike with that ot every other part of the country, depends upon the attractions it can offer to labor, to immi gration aud - to capital ; but laborers will not go and capital wiil not be ven tured where tho constitution and the laws are set at defiance, and distraction. apprehension and alarm take the place of peaceful and law abiding social life. All parts of the constitution are sacred and must be sacredly observed; those parts that are new no less thau those parts that are o'd. The moral and ma terial prosjerity of the Southern States can be most effl-ctually advanced by a hearty and generous recognition of the rights of all, by a recognition with out reserve or exception. With such a recognition fully accorded, it will be practicable to promote by the influence ot all legitimate agencies ot the general government, -the efforts ot the people of thee States to obtain for themselves the blessings of honest and capable lo cal government. If elected, T sha'l consider it not only my duty, but it wM be my ardent desire to labor tor the attainment of this end. Let me as sure my countrymen ot the Southern ; States that it I Fhall be charged with"; tne duly ot organizing an admiiuslra tion, it will be one which will regard and cherish their, truest interests; the interests ot the white and colored peo ple both equally; aud which will put forth its best efforts in lehalf ot a civil policy which will wipe out forever the distinction between tlie North aud the South in our common conntry. With a civil service organization upon a system which will secure purity, ex perience, efficiency and economy; a a strict regard to" the public welfare solely in appointments, and the speedy, thorough, and unsparing prosecutiou and punishment of all public officers who betray official trusts ; with a sound currency; with education unsectariau and five to all; with simplicity and frugality in public and private affairs and with a f rater., al spirit of harmony pervading the people of all sections and c'asses, we may reasonably hope that the second century of our existence as a nation will le, by the b'essings of Cod, pre-eminent as an era ot good feeling aud a period of progress, prosperity and happiness. Very ..respectfully, : Your fellow citizen, 11. Ji. IIayks. WHEELERS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. Xew Yoek, July ,20. Wheeler ac cepts, in a letter, of which the following is an extract: To tbe summary of doctrine enunciated by the convention, I give my cordial assent, Tbe Republican party has en trenched in the organic law of our laud the doctrine that liberty is tbe supreme, unchangeable law for every foot of American soil. It is the mission ot that party to give full effi to "this principle by securing to every American citizen complete liberty and equality iu tbe exercise ofall civil, political and public rights. This will be accom plished only when citizens, witfcout re gard to color, shall wear this panoply of citizenship as fully and as securely in the canebrakoe of Louisiana as on the banks ot the St. Lawrence. Upon the question of our Southern relations, my views were recently expressed as a member of tbe committee of the U. S. House of Representatives. Those views remain unchanged, and were thus ex. pressed : " We of the North delude ourselves in expecting that the masses of the South, so far behind in niauy of the attributes ot enlightened improve ment and civilization, are, 'in s brief period of ten or fifteen years, to be transformed into1 our model Northern communities. .That: can only come through a long course of patient waiting to which no one can set certain bounds. Thae will be a good deal of unavail able friction, which" will call for forbear ance, which will have to, be relieved by temperate fostering care ot tbe govern ment. ? One of tbe most potent, if not indispens.ble, ayeiicies in tin direction ' ! - - Rld tIie .education , of the masses, The fact that there , are whole counties j in Louisiana in which there is no public i 00,100,8 is f11 ot uggetion. We com. filled these people to remain in the Un ion, and now duty and interest de mand that we leave no just means on tried to make them good loyal cisizens. How to diminish the JViction how. to stimulate the elevation of this portion - I ot our country, are problems addressing' i cnizenslnp, with every right thereto ! belonging. The just ob isjrations to puo ic creauors, wno creuitecl us when tne government was in the throes of ers, are to be kept with religious faith, as are an me pledges subsidiary thereto and confirraatery thereof. In my judg ment the pledge of t'ongressot January 11, 1875, tor the redemption ot notes ot T,he United States in coin is the plighted faith of the nation, and the national honor, which is simply honesty and justice to the people whose perma nent welfare and prosperity are to be dependent npon true money as a basis of pecuniary transactions, all demands scrupulous observance of this p edge, and it is the duty ot Congress to supple ment with such legislation as shall be necessary. The common schools of the land should be preserved in all their vigor, while in accordance with the spirit ot the constitution all their endow ments should be secured by every pos sible and proper guaranty against every form of sectarian influence or control. There t-hou Id be' the strictest economy in the expenditures ot the government consistent witli its effective administra tion, and unnecessary offices should be abolished. Office should be conferred only on the basis of high character and particular fitness, and should be admin istered only as public trusts aud not for private advantage. The foregoing are chief among the cardinal principles of the Republican party, and U carry them into run ana practical etlcct is the work it now has on hand. To the comple tion of its great mission we address our selves in hoe and confidence, cheered and Mimulaled by the recollection ot its past achievements, remembering that under Cod it is to that party that we are indebted iu this Centennial year of our existence for a preserved, unbroken Union; tor the fact that there is no master nor slave throughout our broad domains, and that emancipated millions Iook upon former republics as symbols ot the fulfilled dec aration that all men were created free aid equal, and a guaranty of their own equality under the law with the most highly lav-ored citizpn of the land. To the intelligence ai.d conscience of all who require a good government, with good money and universal prosperity, the Republican party, not unmindful of the imperfec tion and short comings of human organi zation, yet with the honest purpose of its masses promptly to retrieve all errors and punish all offenders against the laws ot the country, confidently sub mits its claims for the continued support of the American people. Tho Walla Walla Union, of last Sat urday, says: "3Jany of the farmers lo cated along the foot-hills have com menced harvesting their grain. The proprietors of headers a i ll threshers have been busy for some time making contracts to head and thresh, and the farmers' wives are busy preparinglfbr the great event of the year, the coming of the harvest hands.. Every man who comes to town and expresses a ccsire to work, obtaius a situation at once at good wages. There is a lively demand for harvest hands now, and the supply is not equal to the requirements of our agriculturists. Good judges place the surplus crop ot the valley at 20.000 tows, or 600,000 bushels of grain, while some are quite certain that the surplus wilt eqnal 30,000 tons. The first estimate is not far wrong, in our opinion. The indications all point towards a very low price for wheat this fall the figures 30 to 85 cents per bushel, representing the present impressions of buyers." ' Brick Pomroy, whose course as an editor made him so notorious daring the war and afterwards, has started a new Democratic paper. He, however, does not propose to support Tilden for Presi dent. He denounces Tild n as the tool ot Tammany, and will oppose him with all the- vigor and energy tor which he is notorious.- As to the financial questions cf tho day, the new paper will advocate the repeal of tbe resumption act. No candidate tor President is nominated. The Central and Union Pacific mi roads are to be re-measured by a crops of engineers, to determine whether the length as reported by the companies is cotrect. Whether this is so or not, it becomes important, in view of the fact that the quantity of land to be donated to the companies - depends upon the length of the road.

JUot t?roprt9trm. i The yield of the Consolidated Vir ginia mine, says the N. Y. Sun, in March last, was $3,634,298 29. These figures are official as I got them from Mr.; Taylor, principal book-keeper. Since this mine commenced paying dividends it stockholders have received $20,000,000 in round numbers. Tbe California mine, the richest known mine in 'the world, paid its first monthly dividend on the 15th inst., $1,080,000, or two dollars per share for each of its 540,000 shares. These two mines pay monthly dividends ot 2,160,000 dol lars. Beginning in July, the California mine is.expected to pav a monthly divi dend ot three dollars per share, or $1, 720,000 monthly. . The present price per share of these stocks is respectively: Ca'ifornia, $80; Consolidated Virginia, '673. Like all mining stocks tl.ev are subject to startling fluctuations. The knowing ones, however, do net look for any material changes in the prices of these two stocks this Summer. It is not altogether a matter ot speculation in regard to thepe mines. Wbat-ore they contain -is pretty closely ascer tained. At present there isenouprl, first. class ore therein to keep the mines going for at least three years. Co'onel Fair, Superintendent, is now erecting a new 80-stamp mill, in addition to the . numeroiH mills already pos sessed by himself and partners When this is finished you will hear of some of the unparalleled results from the Bonanza mines. Fair expects to turn out $5,000,000, a mouth. He can lo it. It is only a question ot milling facilities. There is no lack of on?. In view ot the stupendous wealth of these mines, the qnestion often occurs to me : what will be the eventual limit ot the wealth of the four gentlemen popularly known as the "Bonanza Kings ?" People who have watched their fortunes with critical eves estimate that they are now worth in money aud property upward ot 8100,000 J)00. It is a common remark here that Mackav4 his an income of $00,000, gold, a a month, Since the California mines commenced faying dividends it must hate added at least $150,000 to his monthly income. I thbik 1 may sav that his monthly income is, in round numlers, a million of dollars.' I notice iu the 'otters of correspon dents a wide-spread error in regard to all these men. It is generally believed by Eastern people who have read of tho wouuderful fortunes oi the "Bo- - IT? . . nanza tviiigs, n.ai tiiey naye been ac quired 'withiu the last year, and that none of them, were comfortably fixed before the developments of the Con solidated Virginia mine. This is all a mistake. Flood a;. d O'Brien were worth 200,000. ten years ago, and they have been adding to it ever since. Fair was worth half a nv'llion seven years ago, and Maekay had been a millionaire long before the - Consolidated Virginia was dreamed of. I make these corrections for tlie benefit ot such incorrecls as think the millionaires have nothing to do but throw 20 gold pieces at every lH?rson who takes it into his or her head lu write begging letters to them. It wuld not be believed that there were such arrant fools iu the world as some ot the ietters received prove their writers to be. Money is asked tor by people hundreds and thousands of miles away on every conceivable pretence. For instance, a Washington woman wrote Mr. Macay that her daughter had been hlaudered, and she requested him to forward 1,500 to hire counsel to take the matter into the courts. And this is bnt one of the hundreds of applicants that come here every week for from S10 to $10,000.

Its deeds have passed into history, and we look back to them with prite. Incited by their memo ries to lii(h aims for the good of oar coun try and mankind, and looking to tlie future with nnlaltering courage, hope and purpose, we, the representatives of the party "lu Na tional Convention assembled, make tbe fol lowing declaration ot principles j - ,1. The United States of America is a Nation, not a league by the combined workings of the National and Slate govern ment under thi-lr .respective institutions. Tlie rights of every citizen are secured at home aud protected abroad, aud couimou welfare promoted. 3. The Republican party has preserved these governments to the hundredth anni versary of the Nation's birth, and thev a eauatha?' ,5" aU m are created rSU ui.they-JiPe endowed by their Creator with certain Unalienable rto-hti among Which are life, liberty and the & suit of happiness, that tor the attainment l,m2 deriv,l, elr just w. t-o .T t,,e "sent of the governed ' porously entorcedV the work ot toe RepubHcan party Is unfinished, c Vi Permanent pacification ot the Southern section ot the Union, and the free protection of all its citizens in the free en! w Men the Republican party stands sacredly pledged. The power to provide for thJen! forcemeat of the principles embodied I hi theJTiTni Constittional amendment to JZPFZ nn n the Congress of the United States, and we declare it to be the solemn obligation of the legislative and executive departments of the govern ment. to put Into immediate and vigorous exercise all their constitutional powers for removing any just causes for discontent on the partof any class, and for securing to every American citizen complete liberty and exact equality In the exercise of ail civii, political and public rights. To this end we imperatively demand a Cono-res and a Chief Executive, whose conran-e'and fidelity to these duties shall not falter until these results are placed beyond dispute or recall. 1 4. In the first act of Congress signed by President Grant, the National Governmn.,t assumed to remove any doubts of iu pur pose to discharge all just obligations to the public creditors, and "aolemnlv rWM n. faith to make provisions at the earliest mnr iii.mie penou ror ine rrlemption of the United States notes In coin." Commercial prosperity, public morals and national cred it demand that the nromlse be fulfill! hr a continuous and steady progress to specie payment. . 5. Under the Constitution, the President ii.io ueaus oi oeparrment.3 are to make nom inations for office, the Senate is to :nlvie and consent to appointnients.aiid the Iloue of Representatives is to accuse and prose cute faithless officers. The best interest of Ihe public service demands that these dis tinctions be respected ; that Senators and Representatives who may bejtIres and ac cusers, should not dictate appointments to . , .The i,1V!"tble rule in appointments should have reference to tlie.lionesty. fideli ty and capacity of the appointees, giving to the party in power those places where harmony and vigor of administration re quire its policy to be represented, but per mitting all others to be filled by ,)crsous selected with solo reference to the efficiency to the public service, and the right of all citizens to share in the honor of rendering faithful service to five country 6. ;We rejoice in the quickened conscience of the people concerning political affair, and will hold all public officers to a rigid responsibility, and engage that the prose cution and punishment of all who betray official trusts shall be switt, thorough, auil unsparing. 7. The public school system of the several States I the bulwark of Ihe American Re public, and with a view to its security anil permanence. we recommend an amendment to tlie Constitution of the United States for bi.lfltng the appropriation of any public funds or property for the benefit of anv schools or institutions under sectarian con trol. 8. The revenue necessary for current ex penoirures and the obligations of ihe public debt, must be largely derived from duties npon importations, which, so far as possi ble, should be adjured to promote the in terests of American labor, and advance the prosjierity or the wlio'e country. 0. We reaffirm our opposition to further Kr.uus oi tne. puuiic .u lids to corporations .too monopolies, nun (lemaixl tliat the na tional domain be devoted to the free uses of iue eopie. 10. It is the imperative duty of the gov ernment so to modify existing treaties wiili European governments that the same pro tection shall be afforded to the adapted American citizen that is given to the native lwrn. and that all necessary laws should he passed to protect immigrants, in tlie ab sence ot power iu the States for that pur pose. 11. It is the immediate duty of Congress to fully investigate the effect of the immi gration and importation of Mongo'I ins up on the moral and material interests of the country. 12. The Republican party recognizes w ith approval the substantial advances recently made toward the establishment of equal rights for woman by the many important amendment effected by Republican legis latures, in tho laws which concern tl e per sonal and property relations ot wives, mothers and widows, and by the appoint ment and election of women to the superin teii'Jence of education, ot charities, and other public truts. The honest demands of this class of citizens for additional rights, privileges, aud iinmunit ies, should be treat ed with respectful consideration. 13. The Constitution confers upon Con gress sovereign power over the Territories of tlie United States for their government, and in the exercise of this power it Is right and the duty of Congress to prohibit and extirpate in the Territories that relic ot barbarism, polygamy ; and we demand such legislation as shall secure this end and the supremacy of American institutions in all tiie Territories.-- It. The pledges which the nation has given to her soldiers and sailors must be fulfilled, and a grateful people will always hold those who imperiled flteir Jives for their country's preservation in the kindest remembrance. 15. We sincerely deprecate all sectional feelings and tendencies. ve. therefore, note with deep solicitude, that the Demo cratic party counts, as Its chief hope of suc cess, upon the electoral vote of a united South rcured through tlie efforts of those who were recently arrayed against the na tion, and we invoke tl ie earnest attention of the country to the grave truth that a success uius acnieveu would reopen section al strife, imperil national honor and human rights. 18. We charge the Democratic party with being the same in character and spirit as when it sympathised with treason; with making iu control of the House of Repre sentatives tlie triumph and opportunity of the nation's recent foes; with reasserting and applauding in the National Capital the sentiment of unrepentant rebellion ; with sending Union soldiers to the rear, and promoting Confederate soldiers to the front; with deliberately proposing tOTepudiate tlie plighted fait h of tlie government ; with being false and imoecile npon the overshad owing financial questions; with thwarting tiie end of justice by Its partisan wismaii agement and obstruction of investigation ; with proving itself, through the period ot IU ascendancy in the Lower House of Con gress, ntterly incompetent to administer tlie government, and we warn the country agHtust trusting a party thus alike unwor thy, recreant and incapable. 17. The National Administration merits commendation for its honorable worw in tlie management of domestic aud foreign affairs, and President Grant deserves the continued hearty gratitude of the American people for hi patriotism and his eminent services In war and In peace- OeXe X A Iarge Body of Rich Land Tor ; t Sal Cheap.'
