Tlie Reform Club of New York adopted the following among other reso lutions : Jtcsolved, I hat m the unanimons nomination by the Republican National Convention of Rutherford B. Hayes as President of tlio United States, and William A. Wheeler, as Vice President, we rococtiizo the triumph of those prin ciples of political reform which lies at the fomulatioji of the organization of thU club. That is the way the reformers talk all over the union. Kvery where they are rallying to our ticket. They do it be cause they know the high and "pure character of our candidates. They know that such characters are better guarantees of purity and reform than any amount of promise?. In the men ntul their lives, the country has the highest and best assurance of all that the country needs in the present condi . tions of affair. They call him "Samnel J. Tilden, . the reformer." His chief backer at St. Louis, with month and money, was John Morrissey, the bruiser and gam bler, and one of the chief elements of his strength in the convention that nominated him was, finally, "Boss" John Kelly, Tweed's successor as the head of the New York Tammany ring, who went to St. T.on:s as his opponent, nd was bought up by the Tildenitcs by the promise that he and Tammany 6haH have tlie Government offices of New York in the event of TiMeu's election. These are a pretty lot of "re formers," and they know their man. The questions is, Would these fellows be Tilden's supporters If they did not know that his pretensions as a "refoi til er" are merely the trick of a deroa gotme ? . The Chicago limes doesn't, like the Democratic "reform" platform. It speaks of it as "inaccurate and reckless in some of its statements," and says : "Reform" is the word that runs all through it and stands conspicuous in nearly every plant. In this particular, it protests too much. It is a very easy thing for a party to promise great things in the waycf reform, but promise and per fbrmance are two vciy different things. When the Democratic party promises reform, it must expect to be judged, like any other party, by its record, by its known principles, it it has any, and by the character of them who compose it. The party that produced Tweed and las crowd of Tammany thieves, and similar men wherever it has been in power, and which attracts to itself al most tlie entire body of ex-slaveholders and secessionists, together with the class of men of whom John Morrissey is a distinguished representative, need not expect that its promise of reform will be accepted absolutely without ques tion."' Tlie ordinary steel rail is thirty feet in length, but the Bessemer Works, at Braddock's Fields, PenD., are running them out sixty teet long. They are the ; first steel rails of this length ever cast in any pan, of the world. They are said to cost no more by weight than those of the ordinary length, and there will be a saving in the cost of laying tbem as well as in the red accd wear and ; tear of rolling stock, since a large part ol this is - caused, by the shock which each wheel receives in passing trora one rail to another, and on a track laid with sixty toot rails there will be only halt as many jolts as on one with rails of thirty feel in length. The currency plank ot the Democratic part faces "exactly north and south," or as Hosea Biglow wonld say, is "agin contraction, agin inflation, and sort o favors both; agio meddlin' with the pesky subject, and iu favor ot meddlin' with it by repealin' the Resumption act; agin pay in' the notes and in favor of payin on 'em." Like Paul,' it is things to all men," if by any means it may roll Tilden and that ''barrel of greenbacks" into the White House Fortunately, the people are too intelli gent nowadays to be hoodwinked by sucb palpable duplicity. John Morrissey and a "barrel full of rooney' are " invincible powers in Democratic convention. Tbey together could have nominated Jeff. Davis him self for President, if be bad been John's whotoe.. - -- DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO TIUE3S. One of the prominent Democratic journals of Brooklyn, the Argus, New York; Brick Pomeroy's Weekly, Chica go; and the EvunsviUe Courier, Indi ana, have already declared war against Tilden, and pronounced him not a fit man to be President of the United States. In the reasons given by these journals for Refusing to support Mr. Tilden, it is claimed the commissioners for building the capitol at Albany, who had stolen millions from the State, and of whom Governor Tilden had said the evidence was strong enough to convict and send them to state prison, were among the delegates urging Tilden's nomination at St. Louis. The Gov. ernor had promised to commence legal ,. - . v , , , .T proceedings against, them but he had not aone u, ami, u is preuicteu uiai no vill not. Othe millions have been ' stolen by members of the Brooklyn rmg, whom the A rgus says the gov ernor well knew were partners of Tweed in the legislature, in the Brooklyn pave ment contract, in the East river bridge and elsewhere. The governor promised to prosecute them but neglected to do so. In defiance of his neglect a portion of these men were indicted and these indicted men were among Tilden's sup porters at St. Louis. The Argus avows that Governor Tilden hasmadca league offensive and defensive with the theives and the ring elements of New York, and that he has adopted the motto that no guilty man must be punished who will vote right. For this reason that journal is of the opinion that next November New York will leave Tilden in a minority of at least 50,000. Adver tising puffs of Tilden were by his order inserted in 550 southern and western democratic newspapers. It is also claimed that in 1S66 C7 Tilden was interested in a distillery, at Lebanon Springs, New York, which was run for months without paying any tax to the government when the amount really due was from 700 to $800 per day. The distil'er was finally seized by the officers of the government. It is urged further that a sufficient number of voles were purchased at St. Louis to deter mine the nomination and they declare such a nominee unworthy uf support. These are some of the reasons which Democratic organs are giving for refus ing to support Tilden, and they insist that he cannot be elected. Now let uld Satan throw up the sponge and sell out. Iu the matter of shrewd' hypocrisy uuder the cloak of j pious pretense, the Democratic party throws him utterly in the shade. Vule the "reform" resolutions of the St. Louis convention. They are a very amusing subject of political and ethical study to those who are familiar with Democratic history and mortality and with the character of the Democratic leaders and followers. "Reformers," forsoth 1 Where or when has that in famous party ever made a record enti tling it to such a claim ? The platform it adopted last week is an impudent and dastardly attempt of a band of political pirates to fly the flag of honest mariners as has ever come under human observa tion. - Servia and Montenegro, both of whicb are unwilling dependencies ot Turkey, have, formally dec'ared war against Turkey, and the Servian troops have crossed the border into Turkey. The other principalities will no doubt make common cause with them, and Russia will, in honor, be compelled to support them in which event it is only a question of time when Austria will join Russia, and Germany, England and France will throw themselves in the breach in. Turkey's behalf. Then the long-pedtcted general European war on the "Eastern question" will begin in earnest. Tlie Confederates, in their plank de nouncing the tariff laws, charge that there are now "over toir thousand ar ticles" taxid by our tariff on imports. If these Confederates bad been more truthful, tiicy would have carried more weight in what they say. Instead ot "over 4,000 articles," the official designation in our tariff number exactly 1,392. his enormous exaggeration is not a matter ot vital importance, only so far as at exhibits an habitual disre gard ot the truth by the partisans of the Confederates. The national debt continues to be gradually reduced from month to month The reduction for June was $3,881,397, and the total redaction lor the fiscal year ending June 30 was $29,239,781. And yet tho Democratic National Con vention and Sammy Tilden have the shameless effrontery to declare that the Republican Administration at Wash ington is "squandering" the public revenue! The total of the national debt to day is $2,099,036, 344. A grain ot prudence is worth a pound ot craft. -, THE TRIAL BY FIRE. - BY BERTHA ALLYX. Little Mrs. Manning was as dainty a bit of womankind as it would be possi ble to find. Petite aud graceful, charm ing in figure, face and manner, she was the light of her own home, a well as of society. Akd yet, pure, innocent, lovely as she was, the breath of envy did nut pats her by. Disappointed rivals declared that she was selfish, heartless, and recklessly extravagant, and that, ere long, Horace Manning's vast wealth would be "as water spilled upon the sand," through her vanity and wastefulness. But the gentleman in question did not appear to be troubled with any of these misgivings, for he was seldom long ab sent from the side of his sparkling little wife, and his tender devotion was the subject of remark wherever they went; while the loveligbt which uaitceu inner eyeg) wneneycr teJ ciianced to meet his, while the lovehiiht which danced in her wfts not to be taken tor anything but genuine love for him personally, and not tor his fortune. But was she "selfish, heart'ess, and recklessly extravagant ?" Certainly not "selfish and heartless." 'Extrava gant?" Perhaps some who only looked on the surface might think so. But ex travagance is a relative term. She did love jewels and fine laces, and spent a great deal of money on them. But then' she had a splendid allowance, and could afford to do it. Her husband not only encouraged her in such outlays, but was continually making her gifts, unasked, of rare diamonds, or priceless old point. What would have been folly in a p'pr man was not so with him. He liked to see her adorned like a queen; and he wronged no one in so adorning her. Is it not, moreover, as much the duty of the really rich to sp?nd, as it is of the poor to economize? - How can the poor live at all if the rich live meanly ? They had been married, now, five years, and in all that iine thy had nev er exchanged a hard word. Prosperity, too, had continued to smile on them. Only on her last birthday, her husband had given Maggie a superb necklace of diamonds .As she kissed him for the gift she had said, "Ah, though I love the glittering things, I love you, Horace, a thousand times better." The ninth cf November, 1872, will long be remembered in Boston. In a sing'e night hundreds were made home less, and hundreds more were ruined in fortune. In that terrible conflagration Horace Manning was one of the princi pal sufferers. Nearly all of his worldly wealth vanished in a few hours, while hundreds, who were dependent upon him for their daily bread, were thrown out of employment with their month's wages unpaid. For thirty hours he neither slept nor tasted food, hut stood and watched, with selling heart and Teeling brain, that ter rible conflagration. Then, bowed down and broken, he sought hi home, and there groaned out his agony, which he cou'd no longer control. "Horace, husband, why will you give way thus? All is not gone while you are left; and Mary and I willhelpyou bear it." So spoke his fond wife, drawing his throbbing head upon her bosom, and kissing with quivering lips the deep lines which those long hours of suffering had stamped upon bis brow. :' What is the loss of our wealth," she continued, "compared to what the loss of health, or the love we bear each other would be ? ' "Ah, but you don't know, my darl ing, how dreadful it is to be poor. You have never known a care. What could these little white hands do toward earn ing your daily bread ?" "They can do a g-eat deal. And I begin to think that their very whiteness is a shame to me. 1 hey ought to have known, long ago, how to wash, and iron. bake and brew, and sew, and have made ready for such an emergency as this. 1 our anticipated poverty does not daunt me in the least It but draws me closer to yon with a feeling that, perhaps, I can now be to you a true helpmeet, in stead of the idle, almost useless plaything 1 Lave been. 1 doubt not that the les son will be hard to learn at first, but I am ready to begin; and with a cheerful willingness, 1 think 1 can surmount eve ry obsticle. While I have your love and confidence, I am happy. Take these away from me, and I shall be crushed. So do pot grieve for me" And that strong rcan could only gath er that brave comforter ia his arms, and weep as only strongmen can weep. "Uless you tf" he said, when he could speak. "But though you have comfort ed me more than I can tell yon, yet my hcait is bursting tor my people. h. my poor people ! pay-day is at hand, and I have not a dollar with which to pay them." "Ah! your people! tor the moment I had forgotten them " murmured Mag gie, with an expression of dismay. then, suddenly bngbtniuc? up, she asked, eagerly: - "How much do you owe them, Hor ace ? How much woeld is tano to pay them all?" "From five to cighAhonsand dollar". How small a sum that seemed to me three days ago I And now 1 would al most give my right hand for it. For I know that some of these poor fellows must go hungry, unless they are paid Oh, Maggie, it is almost more . than I can bear. It nearly drives mo mad!" "Horace," returned his wife, solemn ly, though she was as pale as death, "we have always professed to believe in an overruling Power;raud now I tell you that God will provide. It seems dark now, but I feel that all will, before long, be made right. . Toll me, could you know that every man had his month's wages, would you be comfort ed ?" "Inexpressibly, now that yon bear it all so bravely.. And I suppose that, sometime in the future, I shall get some thing on tbo insuiance. But it seems terrible, all this fearful .waste , of prop erty " "I wish you would try not to think ot it. ftan you not so to 6leen? Kest i here a few minutes, and I w;H bring you a strong cup ot coffee to brace up your shattered nerves." She gently lowered bis head upon the pillo-v, and then glided swiftly from the room, i Twenty minutes passed, and she was back again, bearing a steaming cup of fracrrant M ocha. " " - .. -. . . - i "Now, drink this, dearest, to piease me." . He could not resist her, and drank it to the dregs. "Yon did make it strong, Maggie;" he said, "for it was almost bitter, but I feel that it will do me good.' A queer expression curled his wife's lip, at this remark, and the quick color for a moment flushed her delicate cheek. But, setting the cup aside, she gently smoothed his head, until, beneath her light touch, he fell asleep. Then up she sprang, all strength and nerve; gave a hasty glance at her watch, and began hastily to array herself in a dark traveling robe. Her next move was to unlock an elegant casket which stood upon her dressing tab'e, from which 6he took set after set ot costly jewels. These she fastened about her person and clothing, and then rang her bell. Soon a light tap upon the door -answered her summons, and going out side the door, she found, as she expect ed, her maid. "Mary," she began, iu low, hurried tones, "can I trust yon to follow im plicitly the directions I am about to give you ?" "Yes, ma'am," answered the girl quietly. "1 thought I might. I am going away. It is now eight oVek, and 1 shall be just in time to catch tho New York train. I want you to teli your master, when he awakes, that I am out, but that I will soon be back, and thatI lold-yon to bring him a cup of tea. And, Mary, 1 want you to put a tlea spoonfui from this vial into the tea. He is so exhausted that he will be sick un!ess he sleeps aJong time. Will you remember ?" " Yes, ma'am." "I shall bs back to-morrow evening," she went on. "I do not wish Mr. Man ning under any circumstances to know where I have gone. Are you sure you understand ?" "Yes, ma'am." "Well, send James around at once with the carnage, for I have no time to lose " Another hour, and Maggie Manning, the devoted wife, was speeding rapidly toward New York. The brave little woman did not sleep until her goal was reached, her bnisness transacted, and she had returned homo again. Then hearing that, although her husband had twice aroused and asked for her, he was now sleeping asrain, she threw herself upon her bed and snatched an hour or two of rest She was at length awakened by her maid, who said that Mr. Manning ha.l woke again. and was anxiously asking for her. She rose, bathed her wan face, and hastened to him. "Maggie, I think lam sure I have l)cen drugged," were his first words. "Did you do it ?" "Yes, dear, I did," she answered bravely, "for you sadly needed rest, ai d your nerves were so wrought up, that sleep, without an anodyne, was next to an impossibility. Besides I could not accomplish what I wished to do unless I had yon obediently under this little thumb of mine," she added laughing y, with a spice of the old mischief that had attracted him so when she was a girl. "YIst do vou meau ?" he asked, as tonished. "I mean that I have been to New York and back since I saw you last." "To New .York and back ! Are you crazy I think not. Now listen, dear, and I will explain all. Y'ou said you would bo inexpressibly comforted if yon cou!d only pay your help, and that-it would take from five to eight thousand dollars to do it. I knew that my iewels were very valuable, for I own that I have been fond of iewels. When we could afford it, it was all very well. But now She stoped a moment, and then went on. "So I determined to take them to New York, where most of them were purchased, and sell them. There would be no chance ot selling them here, just now, you know I have been very sue eessful. Brother W alter transacted all the buisness for me Here, dear, are ten thousand dollars, and yon can lift that heavy burden from your heart. ' She drew a package from her bosom, and put it into his hands. 'Macgie, Maggie I ion have sacri ficed all those for me.'' He could say no more, but drew her to liim, and for awhile there was a holy silence iu that room, eacn neari oemg too full for words. "Sacrifice !" at length Maggie ans wered. "It was no sacrifice, Horace I remember, five years ago, when you eae me that necklace. 1 was nearly, yes, entirely, overcome by your layish- ness; and 1 kissed the gems, ana saia to myself that you were more precious to me than jewels; and God knows I would rather never wear another ornament, or bit ot lace, my two espedal weaknesses, van know." she added smiling, "than see you suffer as yon have these last few days. Believe me, I have been truly happy in doing this." Her looks did not belie her words, for her beautiful face glowed with a light of self-sacrifice that was most holy. "You have, indeed, proved that your love tor me is above jewels, though of that I never questioned. But of the strength and depth ot character which you have 6howu, I had never dreamed. I can now believe that you will not srinuk at the idea of being a poor man's wife." "Shrink I - No! I can stand at your side as long as you will stand; but when you allow yourself to be crushed, then I must tall, too; for you are my strength, my pride and my glory. This is only one of God's furnaces in which we are beingr tried; and I feel we shall both come out purer and better." Her words were a prophecy. For tune has smiled on tbem again, and they are happier, too, for having passed, for a time, through this Trial by Fire. . I'naattsfied. "Only a housemaid !"

When, in the economy of rrovldehce, this land was to be purged of human slavery and when tlie strength of government of the pe"oplc by the people and for the people was to be demonstrated, the Republican party came Into power. Its deeds have passed Into history, and we look back to them with prl je. Incited by their memo ries to high aims for the good of our coun try and mankind, and looking to the future with unfaltering courage, hope and purpose, we, the representatives ot the party Hi Na tional Convention assembled, make tlie fol lowing declaration ot principles : , : , 1. Tlie United States of America is a Nation, not a league by the combined workings of the National and State govern ments under tht-ir respective Institutions. The rights of every citizen are secured at home and protected abroad, and common welfare promoted.'" ; 2. The Republican party lias preserved tbec governments to tlie hundredth anni versary of the Nation's birth, and they are now embodiments ot the great truths spoken at its cradle, "that all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights among which are life, liberty and the pur suit of happiness ; that tor tlie attainment of tliese ends governments have been Insti tuted among men, deriving their just pow ers from the consent of the governed.'' Until these truths are cheerfully obeyed. or, it need be, vigorously enforced, the work ot the Republican party is unfinished. '3. The permanent pacification of the Southern section of the Union, and the free protection of all its citiasens In the free en joyment of all their rights and duties, to which the Republican party stands sacredly pledged. The power to provide for the en forcement of the principles embodied in the recent Constitutional amendment is vested by those amendments in 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 yigorous exercise all their constitutional powers for removing any just causes for discontent on the part of any class, and for securing to everv American citizen complete liberty and exact equality in the exercise of all I civil, political and public rights. To this lend we imperatively demand a Congress ' anil a Chief Executive, whose cournge and fidelity to these duties shall not falter until these results are placed beyond dispute or recall. 1. In the fiist act of Congress signed by President Grant, the National Government assumed to remove any doubts of its pur pose to discharge all just obligations to the public creditors, and "solemnly pledged its faith to make provisions at the earliest prac ticable period for the redemption f the United States notes in coin." Commercial prosperity, public morals and national cred it demand that the promise lie fulfilled by a continuous and steady progress to specie payment. , 5. Under the Constitution, the President and heads of departments are to make nom inations for office, the Senate U to advise and consent to appointwients.and the Iloire of Representatives Is to accuse and prose cute faithless officers. -The best interest ot the public service demands that these dis tinctions be respected ; that Senators and Representative who may be judges and ac cusers, should not dictate, appointments to office. The invariable rule in appointments should have reference to the honesty, 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 persons selected with sole reference to the efficiency to the public service, and liie right of ail citizens to share hi the honor of rendering faithful service to the country 6. We rejoice in the quickened conscience of thr people concerning political affairs, 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 swift, thorough, and unsparing. v 7. The public ehool system of the several States is the bulwark of the American Re public; and with a view to its. security and permanence, we recommend an amendment to tho Constitution of the United States for bidding the appropriation of any public funds or property for the benefit of any schools or institutions uuder sectarian con trol. S. Tlie revenue necessary for current ex penditures and the obligations of th? public debt, must be largely derived from duties upon importations, which, so t':ir as possi ble, should be ndju-teTf to promote the in terests of American labor, and advance the J prosperity of the whole country. S. We reaffirm onr opposition to fipther grants of the public lands to corporations fliid monopolies, and demand that the na tional domain be devoted to the free uses of tlie people. JO. It is the imperative duty of the gov ernment so to modify existing treaties wbh European governments that the same pro tection sli.-iil be afforded to the adapted American citizen tli:it is given to the native born, ami that all necessary laws should be passed to protect immigrants, in the ab sence ot power iu the States for that, pur pose. 11. It is the immediate duty of Congress to fully investigate tlie effect "of the immi gration and importation of Mongolians up on the moral and material interests ot the country. 12. The Republican party recognizes with approval the substantial advances recently made toward the establishment of equal rights for woman by the many important amendments effected by Republican legis latures, in the laws which concern the per sonal and property relations ot wives, mothers and widows, and by the appoint ment and election of women to the snperin tendence . of education, ot charities, and other public trust. The honest demands ot this class of citizens for additional right, privileges, and immunities, should be treat ed with respectful consideration. 13. The, Constitution confers upon Con gress sovereign power over the Territories pf the United States for their government, and in the exercise of this power it is right and the duty ot Congress to prohibit and extirpate. iu the Territories that relic of barbarism, polygamy ; and we demand such legislation as shall secure this end and the supremacy of American institutions in all the Territories. It. The pledge-which the nation has given to her soldiers and sailors must be fulfilled, nnd a grateful people will always hold those who imperiled their lives for their country's preservation in the kindest remembrance. . 15. We sincerely deprecate all sectional feelings and tendencies. We. 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 secured through the efforts of those who were recently arrayed nainst the na tion, and we invoke the earnest attention of -the country to the grave truth that a success thus achieved would reopen section al strife, Imperil national honor and human rights. 10. We diarge the Democratic party with being the same in character and spirit as whn it sympathised with treason; with making its control of the Honse of Repre sentatives the triumph and opportunity ot the nation's recent. foeR ; with reassertin" and appending in the National Capital the sentiment of unrepentant rebellion ; with seuding Union soldiers to tlie rear, and promotingConfederate soldiers to the front; with deliberately proposing to repudiate the plighted faith of tlie coverninent. r with being false and imbecile upon the overshad- owing nuanciai questions ; with thwarting tlie ends of justice by its partisan misman agement and obstruction of Investigation ; with proviitg itself, through the period ot its ascendancy in the Lower House of Con gress, utteijly incompetent to . administer the government, and we warn the country against trotting a party thus alike unwor thy, recreaiit and incapable. - 17. The Kational Administration merits commendation for its honorable wor iu the munngoment of domestic and ' foreign affairs, audi President Grant deserves tlie continued ln-arly gratitude of tlie American people for Iiis patriotism and his eminent services in -ar and in peace. 1 or Bale !
