XHGLAHD AUD THE UNITED STATES-
Ma. Editor: In view of the fact
that England is no w engaged in build
ing a fleet of ironclads taring equal
destructive power as the Inflexible and
Jjer c'asg, but of superior speed, some
pt which when completed will cest four
taillien dollars? and also viewing the
great actirity in her arsenals at Wool- j
Vicbj Portsmouth, Chatham and the J
camps of Aldershot, might we net rea
onblj enquire for what purpose is all
this preparation! Why are her mili
tary stations in the West Indies being
strengthened and her corps of engineers
Increased and quietlf sent to BermuJa,
Halifax, Barbadoes and Bahamas? Let
lis a!s enquire for what purpose English
engineers have taken maps and dia
grams of our principal fortifications
and have the same now on file in the
office of the first Lord of the Admirality.
Prom Abyssinia, Afghanistan, Zulu
land and Egypt comes the victorious
troops of England. In what direction
will he strike nextl They are net
needed at home new for Ireland has
been struck dumb by her mailed hand
and the spirit of freedom is rivited to
the grouad wija her bayonet. Our
minister at London (Mr. Lowell) tails
us net te be uneasv, that England is a
friendly nation ann loves us, -but we
well rememVer twenty-two years ago
when England was also a 'friendly na
tion" and resocnized the Southern Con-
federaey within twenty-seven days of
the first shot of our civil war. She
waa a "friendly "nation" when she
built, equipped and in part manned the
Alabama, Shenandoah and other war
cguisers t(? destroy our commerce and
wound eur honor on the high seas.
Quite fresh in my memory is the swarm

ernnent, ard comrades, we who hare
fellowed Sheridan in the Shenandoah

those guns. Mr. Lowell had better
eome home or become a naturalized
Englishman and stay and thereby bless
his country, but come or stay we sheuld
not act like the foolish virgins. Let us
tri our lamns. Everv State should
rffanise a National , cuard in accord

Tilden Still Harrows the JBepublicans!
Sammy Tilden is a greater bugbear
to the Republican party than the hand
writing on the wall was to Belshazzar.
It will be remembered that about four
years ago the leading Republican pa
pers were filled for many months wit
BtatAtaftnts of the enfeebled condition
of the old man, in which the country
was led to believe (if they placed any
reliance on their statements), that , his
days were few on earth. So Boon as
the nominations were closed we were
given a rest and heard nothing more
of his illness, but we read of him as
Reading attorney in numerous import
ant lawsuits, when he seemed in the
full possession of a vigorous intellect.
' As the time for nominations is ap
proaching the old stories ot his enf ec.
bled health are beiBg rehashed by the
Republican press. A New York spe
cial to the Chicago papers is made to
'ear that c,He ' (Tifc'en) cannot lift either
hand to his mouth, both arms being
paralyzed. He has to be fed and his
food has to be literallythoved into him
"Whea he goee out he has to be sup
verted by two attendants. He is liable
to fall down dead at any time.'
If it. because their Bins aj-e equal to
hatof Belshazzar that they are made
quake before this eld batch elor, or
is it remorse for defrauding him out
of hia right tc the office to which the
people had elected himl Be it as it
may, their doom is equally as certain
tad the signs as emphatic as tho hand
frriting en the wall.

The Democracy are pledged to a'tar-
iff for revenue only; a tariff based upon
an ad valorem value equal on all com
modities for the reason that it is right
and in the interest of. the great mass of
our people. The only right which a
gevernmeut can have to levy an em
bargo upon commerce is for the pur-r
pose of its own support. When any
discriminations are made the burdens
are made fall uneqnally upon the cit
izens, and are always for the benefit of
he few, at the expense of the many,
A protective tariff is a snare and a
delusion and contravenes one of the
undanental principles upon which
ust governments are established and
maintained. It takes the hard earn
ings out of the pocket of the tiller of
the soil to enrich the manufactures
and speculators; and gives to the far
mer no equivolent. ;
Congressman George when making
his canvass in this State, took pains to
tell the farming communities that the
question of tariff was a local question
and net a party issue. That ho would
favor a high tariff on wool in order to
keep out of competition the importation
of Australian and South American
wool. How well he maintained his
pledge to the farmers of Oregon the
sequel has proven. " Were the tariff on
strictly a revenue basis the duty on
wool would be more than double what
the last Congress placed upon it. The
farmers of Oregon would be getting
double the protection on that article
afforded them by the unequal and un
just tariff now in force.
Will some of our contemporaries
which advocate Mr. George's election
on the ground that he would advance
the wool growing industry of our State
explain to our sheep raisers how his
wolf of protection has cared for their
interests in the revised tariff bill
At an End at Last!
The Governmental farce of trying the
star route thieves is at an end and they
are all turned loose upon the country
with their ill-$retten gains, to lord it
over honest people. Their peculations
had been so open and notorious and
uie proois so conclusive, tuat even a
jury empanneled for the express puv
pose, could not go to the extent of
acquitting the principal " thieve3 until
meir counsel advanced trio ingenious
proposition that it is not kreeny to
steal from the Government, as too
many of the present officials had "eaten
of the hog" to deny it. This left
nothing but the bare question of the
conspiiacy for the iury. Although two
of their number had been found guilty
by the former jury, and Reredell had,
in open court, entered a plea of guilty,
the jury promptly acquitted. After the
verdict had been recorded and the other
defendants discharged, Reredell ap
peared before the court and changed
his plea, which was admitted, the Court
remarking that a man cannot bo guilty
of conspiracy when a jury has acquitted
the others, and that is enough! The
Court then directed the Clerk to enter a

charged with receiving money in con
nection with the mail conspiracy, was
called. Kellogg appeared and waived
the reading of the indictment. Kellogg
is stalking about Washington declaring
that it is a great outrage to keep him
away from -his constituents, and that
his presence in Louisiana is essential to
the continuance of that State in the
Republican ranks. With these single
prosecutions will end the farce. Should
any of them bo convicted they would
instantly receive Executive clemency.
as did tne wnissy tnieves who were
convicted or aelrauding tne revenue,
during the Grant administrations.
To convict all who have conspired
together and plundered the Govern
ment, would dismember the Republi
can party. To convict some and allow
the others to egpape, would savor of
persecution and shqw base ingratitude
on the part of those in power, who
have maintained themselves in position
by money filched from the revenue.
It is necessary for the party in power
to keep up these farces, in order to dis
tract public attention, while they are
plundeiing some other branch 'of the
public, service. Thus was public atten
tion directed to Belknap and the whis
ky frauds, while the postal service was
being robbed. What branch of the
service tho Republican party now have
their hands imbrued in, remains to be
seen, but from the recent count of the
coin in tho treasury ard the. prepara
tion for extended vaults, it is easy to
infer.

ceived by a gentleman here this morn

to the business of the Reseburg railroad
in the east, stating that negotiations
for the transfer of the road and other
properties were progressing favorably.
It is expected the transfer will be made
during, the present " week, in which
event the company will enter upon the
development of the road as sum as
possible. It is alo understood that a
well defined policy has existed for some
time, and that Tn the completion of the
