BELCaCK A.NU DLMOCKACY.
Tbe Eloquent Plymouth Paul or oa
Forced thlneie Letter.
Ut
In his sermon Sunday night, Nov.
.21, Henry "Ward Beecher reviewed the
Apolitical campaign, and closed witli a
rTiiliie denunciation of the Democrat
iCjiartr managers for their attempt,
through the forced Chinese letter, to
blacken Gen. Garfield's oetl name. Mr-
Beecher said in conclusion:
T propose as far as my testimony is
enoernd, as far osvsI-cari bring the
vi4,nl'of.Godrto -bearon this commu
nity - and the population at large, to
stamp the conduct that has tieen taking
place under the oflicial sanction of the
Democratic party with such odium that
a man would sooner sleep with a rotten
dead man than with that party. A
good and great man is a glory to a
State.
He may have faults which it may be
fuir to mention, thougli perhaps un
necessary, nevertheless when he is rais
ed to eminence, when a tiivn is to be
elected to the Presidpncy of these
United States, his moral as well as his
political efficiency, are matters of inter
est lo I'verx mother that is bringing up
cliihlien. We can't send an uncertain
man to that liigli po-ition, for what
the President is, will determine
largely what his cabinet will be, what
the public sentiment of the party will
become. We cannot afford to ut for
four years a man in the Presidential
cliaii who is not such a man as the
nation will be proud of. Inasmuch as
a good name is a tower of strength to
a man and the glory of the nation over'
which he presides, by just so much is
the iniquity of taking anny a man's
good name unjustly, foully. That there
has been a most deliberate conspiracy
carried out in all its part with fore
M'ht, with malign and infamous intent
to deitroy the good name of Gen. Gar
field, I have no mere doubt than I
have that 1 stand here, that the devil
soes to and fro seeking whom he mav
devour, up nnd down among men. I
have watched the progress of it. I have
seen thn vpnomus lluusts that have
bppn made at him, a man, I believe as
pure as any other man that walks the
earth, as conscientious as -eii3ative to
eeiything that is pure and irtuous, a
Christian man, a Christian teacher, a
n good father nnd husband and neigh
bor, a good man whose whole long Ufa
has been the earning of a reputation
and of a character that should rank him
among the good men of the earth.
I an) not speaking of tho miserable
scribblers that have sought to join his
name in the transaction of money ma!-
tets. There is not a man in the whole
State of Ohio liing to day that would
not be proud to put his estate in the
hands of James A. Garfield io take care
of thob whom he loved. Trtist is un
bounded in him, yet they tried to make
him a miserable thief nnd liar, and to
discrown him they f-eetn to think that a
noble citizen, standing high in the esti
mation of the whole, world islawful pi ey,
and that they are to he credited with
skill, with power and greatness that
know how to disrobe him and to tarnish
his glory, which is the glory of tho na
tion. But ill this last attempt, with
this, deliberate concoction of a low and
venomous life, brought forth by
forgery and expedited by per
jury, and that too by the ministration
of the organized members of the great
Democritic party I think, in the
whole history of political transactions,
there has never been anything whose
infamy was so deep,.whose disgrace was
so black, and on which hisiory will set
such a blazing seal, as upon that whole
transaction. I can understand how zeal
ous mm may have been led into it, but
one thing is certain, that the man who
is covetous of his good namo will seoto
it that he keeps out of comjiam ' that
may damage him. A man must not
be in a committfe wherr the rogues so
preponderous that they may do infamous
things that may come back on the whole
committee. A man is known by the
company he keeps, nnd no man can
trust himself under such circumstances
to thelight of public judgmpnt though
he has been great no matter how hon
est or truthful in his personal relation
thai has been caught defiling the pure
name of a great man.
NThe inRtincts of a gentleman should
keep a man from any such haste in
such a matter as that, and if there
comes to him one single moment's doubt
that should brped hesitation and cau
tion, and if doubt at lost ripens into
relative certainty, not the speediest"
horse that ever sped across thee desert
should be quicker than he should'be to
rush to the people and say "I am mis
taken." 'But if he hahgs back, sullen
ly, and defends himvclf, and carries it
through, and at the very last, has. no
indignation at the affront put on him,
and put upon tho name of a good citi
zen; how shall we characterize such
conduct as that? It is more than
cruel.' It is more than atrocious. It
has in it an element of unspeakable,
unutterable mp.innpsa nnd when" men
talce dh thenvselve? sucrf iv uise uivihatf
when men defile tho reputation of the
noblest for any reputation vhatover;
when they stand to it after the revela
tion is made, their casa is hopuless.
I say these things with grief. I
would not say them if the indignation
of the Lord did not stir nie to the very
bottom, and if I did not desire to have
it known for generations to come, that
the men who undertook by lies, by for
gery and by persistence in thein to
blight fair fame that on that man
should rest the indignation of the Lord
and of the nation, so that the voice of
the people should be the voice of God
come to judge such a man. It will
.come; it has copie. and as when the
thunder breaks in the summer among
the mountains, its crash is caught up
this muuntain and thrown to that and
to that, and goes echoins down upon
the horizon; so down through the cour.su
of time the men that have conspired in
this infamous thing will have the thun
der of indignation still reverberating to
the latest day.

Few people have any idea of the
rapidity with which Chicago is becom.
ing a great manufacturing center. The
statistics gathered by the Secietary of
tne Board of Trade for the forhtcotning
census report show 3,752 manufactor
ies in the cityt giving employment to
1 lSJjproperatives, and iejreseiitiug a
t-apital of over 80,000,000. The lalue
of the output annually is 5249,000,000;
value of material ued 178,000,0000;
w.agei paid 37,000,000. Scientific
American.
That Chicago enjoys i -numerable
natural advantages in location, surroun
dings, railroad centerings, etc., etc.,
must bo admitted; but the secret and
source of its rapid growth and great
prosperity is found in the stirring en
terprise and well directed business en
ergies of its people, who alive to their
best interests individually, permit no
opportunity to pass calculated to ex
pand and increase the general prosper
ity of the city and State.
That fewer natural advantages sur
round San Francisco is also a fact, but
the heaviest obstacle to its greater
prosperity has been and is, the absence
of energetic, sterling business men, who
dare not enture beyond the circum
hcribnd limits of trnasparent individual
gains and profits. That San Francisco
aud the State of California might have
been far in advance of present condi
tions, admits of no question in the
minds cf thinking, practical men who
comprehend the facts and possibilities
of the case. Had the same degree- of
energy bean displayed in developing
tho resources of this State, e&tablisliing
manufactories, etc, that there has been
in securing immense tracts of land and
monopolizing hundreds of thousands of
acres which should be divided- into
farms for Ihe many, thpre would exist
a mateiiallv improved condition of
things. California Architect.
Remarks the Richmond (Va.) State

some of their rottancst timber when
thoy dumped Ben Butler, Dan Sickles
nnd John Forney into our Democratic
lumber- ard, and were as glad to get

but what could we dol'
-The truthfulness of a sign over a
Santa Fe saloon is to bo admired. An
old-fashioned perforated tin lantern
hangs upon a rude bracket, and in the
night throws a dim and fitful light up
on a strip of white muslin on which is
inscribed in large letters, "Noso
Paint."
I? anybody asks yon why the Arctic

they lie around jhe poles.

The increase of tJie,jMfiital stock of.

business ventures for the purpose of
legitimate carrying trade. It asks no"
subsidies, and on one occasion actually
refunded a subsidy paid to one of its
branches while negotiations for its sale
to the present owners were pending.
Moreover, it has no little inner ring
for the repair of steamers and ma
chinery, controlled by its officers nnd
manipulated nUthe cost nnd detriment
of the shareholders. It'does not seek
to avoid old and well established cen
ters of business, to build up new towns
on lands owned by its officers or their
pinaforo relations. And last but not
least, it does not dabble in pqlitics,
nor seek to put up any of its" servants
as the only fit men for Congress or
Senator.. Its only aim seems to be
to make money, nnd so long as it opens
up now fields for grain culture and-re-duccs
the cost of transporting our
crude staples to the markets of tho
old world, we are satisfied to see it
makd all it can in a legitimate and
reasonable manner.
On our return from the Eastern
Slopo of the Blue mountain, 'wo wrote
Mr. H. Yillard our opinions of the
probable currying trade of the road if
extended to Powder river valley, as
well as the class of immigration best
suited by early education for such a
country. In reply to us, under date
of November 10th, Mr. Yillard says:
"We increased our capital stock be
cause wo wanted to do more bwjnesa.
and to do this required more money.
Of one thing I can absolutely assure
you that the road to Baker City will
be brtilt as fast as money will do It."
In another part of the same letter he
says, ,-I trust that the luineral wealth
of Baker county will verify your pre
dictions, for what you say is a roi ela
tion to nie."
The truth is that a trade arising
from mines never onco entered the
head of Mr. Villard cr any of his as
sociates, agriculture being the basis of
all fhair ventures iii this region. But
the argentiferous galena of Baker
county is destined to become an im
portant article of return freight for
this company. It costs about $48 per
ton to carry it thence to Swansea, in
Wales, and pay for the reduction of
ore. In Nevada it coats 14 to 18
per cord for wood to hoist the ore .from
the ground and pump the shafts dry,
while about Sparta, in Baker county,

or projection which shot up from the
top of Mount Rainier; ta the old in
habitants and persons familiar with
the topography of the mountain it was
known as the "pack-saddle," and was,
