The comments of the papers show thatthere is but one statement relative to Gen.Sibley among men of all parties. Only themost bitter partisans will venture to a3sailhim and the Republicans who willabsolutelysupport him wiltoutnumber the assailant B

twenty to one.Talmage declares that there is more wick-

edness in the We.st than inBrooklyn, a facthe discovered while visiting tho dens ofin-iquity inLeadvillo. He ignores the faot,however, that while the wickedness of theWest is perpetrated over end above board,that of Brooklyn is screened from public

observation as much as possible. The proba-bilities aro that Brooklyn is quite as wickedas Leadville, though she may not advertiseher iniquity as openly.

Gen. Walkeb, superintendent of the cen-Bii3, scouts the idea that frauds have beencommitted in the enumeration of the censusat the South. He acknowledges the reccintof many oomplaints of irregularities, butthe complainants have as yet furnished noproofs of the charges made. Gen. Walkerstates that as far as he has been able to ascer-tain there have been no frauds whatever,find few inaccuracies

—as few as inany other

part of the country. Gen. Walker's testi-mony ought to be accepted as conclusive.

TBE M.tTSfS ELECTION.The annual election forState officers takes

place in Maine to-day. The canvass hasbeen one ofthe most aminated inthe historyof the Slate, and far more than the usualamount ofacrimony has been manifested onboth sides. The Democrats and Greenback-ers united in the nomination ofState officersand Congressmen, Gen. Harry M.Plaisted,a former Kepnblican and abrave soldier dur-ing the war,having been placed in the fieldns a candidate for governor. He is opposedby the present incumbent of the office, Dan-ielP. Davis. Inthe early stages of the can-vass the prospects were exceedingly 'favor-able for the fnsion candidates. To-day thereis not as good a showing. Alarmed by theprogress of Democratic ideas the Hepubli-cans have been sending men and money in-to the State for a month past, and have, itmust be acknowledged, accomplished effect-ive work.

There is little, in reality, at stake in theMaine election. The State is and has beenrepublican ever sinc3 that party was formed.Two years ago, by sheer accident, a Demo-crat was elected governor and two Green

-backers were chosen to Congress. The con-teat of a year since over the legislature hasplayed but a small part in the pending strug-gle. Both parties claim to have been rigbtin that emergency, but both are willingtopass the controversy over without dispute atthe present time, as the questions involvedwonld oreate new issues in the national cam-paign.

At the present writing there seems to be

no grounds upon which to base a hope for afusion success. The odds were from thefirst against it. These odds have beon in-creased by the lavish expenditure of moneyby the Republican committee*). Hlaiue'iifntr.ro depends npou his ability tocarry the State, and though ho han hailno heart to work for Uorueld, the Instinct of

preservation has induced him to throwhis entire soul iuto the work of Mving theState to the Kppnblioau party. ,The chanoosare all against theiunion ticket, and all infavor of the Republicans, bat there is a pos-sibility that even the State of Maine may re-pudiate the bonds that have for so long con-fined it to the anti-progressionist party.The returns will be in early. They willshow to what extent the people of Maine arejoined to the idols that have been set up fortheir worship by the Republican party.

BASE ASSAULT OF A VENAL NEWS-PAPER.

The Pioneer Press renders County Audi-torDavis a signal service by making one ofits characteristic infamous attacks, which itshowers upon every one '

who have everthwarted its greed for pelf. The excusemade for the assault is the faot that Demo-cratic primary meetings are to be held thisevening, and a county convention to-morrow,

before which Mr. Davis isa candidate fora renominatiou. The malice of the attackis the more apparent from the faot thatthere is no candidate contesting thenomination with Mr. Davis, and if thatmalignant . sheet had any influencewiththe Democratic party it could accom-plish nothing beyond the gratification of itsdesire to heap personal abuse and falsehoodupon an honorable citizen.

Last spring aRepublican grand jury, of

which one of the proprietors of the PioneerPress was a member, sought to smirch

'Mr.

Davis, but signally failed. The jury calledto its aid the salaried spy known on the rollsof Republican pensioners at the public -cribas "Public Examiner Knox." Neither thejury or the spy could make a success of theirpartisan raid and hence, the latter espec-ially,in order to do the bidding of his mas-ters, resorted to positive falsehoods, and* mis-representation. The result of it all wasthat they claimed to have discovered thatMr. Davis had allowed 1,446 tax payers toescape the penalty by accepting their taxesafter the limithad expired when taxes be-

came delinquent. This charge was revamp-ed by the newspaper in question though itwell knew every word was false. We can-not better reply to this than by quotingthe following portion of Auditor Davis'reply to the official spy which appeared inthe Globe ofMarch 21st: _Idid not receive the books from the treasur-

er untilJune 7th, 1875, and . had only twelvedays in which to copy and compare the delin-quent list and fileit with the county clerk: Afailure to have itfiled with the clerk at thetime required by law would have .invalidatedthe entire sale for the year and left the countypowerless to collect the taxes from those whowere absolutely delinquent. Some . twelve orfourteen hundred taxpayers had . filed5 theirstatements with the county treasurer beforethe time allowed bylaw expired; setting forththeir desires and readiness to make their pay-ment. There was no 10 per cent, penalty thatyear for the non-payment of taxes and hun-dreds delayed until the very last day, takingtheir chances upon the county treasurer beingable to receive the money and make out the re-ceipts. As amatter of course itwas aphysicalimpossibility for the treasurer to supply thereceipts, anilhe accordingly returned the booksto me with the applications made by partiesdesiring to pay.

As my entire clerical force was at work inoopyiog and comparing the delinquent list asalready explained, 1had to complete that andmake tho sale legal or stop to make out re-ceipts for the list ofnames filed with the treas-urer and thereby lose the legal grip nponthose who had not made such application. Itwas impossible to do both. If the law hadbeen as at present, adding a 10 per cent, pen-alty, the situation would have been differentregarding loss to the county. Mynot adver-tising the list of applicants to pay ac delin-quent may b« what tbe public examiner wouldterm a "br.>a 1 and iheerlul spiritofaccommo-dation," and Ifeel proud to say tnat 1have; al-ways conducted my iilticeon that basis, so faras complying with t'ue f-piiitand letter of thelaw will permit.

That the publicmay Bee whether Iacted inany spirit of person or partisan favoritism,Ipresent herewith a list (marked Kxhibit A)of those who had filed their statements and ap-plications to pay before the legal limithad ex-pired, and whoso names were not printed inthe list as delinquent. Apersual of that listisa sufficient refutation of the public examin-er's attack upon me upon this point.

From Jane 7th to September 80th there were1,436 auditor's statements made out withoutinterest, and the amount collected was $191,--757.39. More than one-half of these were paidin June, and all bnt 134 were paid in June andJuly. The judgment for tax of1874 was notentered untilSeptember 24th, and the sale didnot take place until October 15, 1875. Allbutfifteen of the omitted statements were paid be-fore that date.

There is another feature that is worthy ofconsideration. The county was not, at thattime, receiving interest from banks on depos-its, and all taxes paid were placed in the banksto lie without interest until the following Oc-tober settlement. At that time, ialso, :nomoney could be drawn for any fund prior tothat settlement. There was a great businessdepression upon the country and "a cheerfulspirit ofaccommodation" to the honorable andordinarily prompt tax payer was certainlywithinthe spiritof the law. If they had beentaken by the throat on the first of Jane manywould have been compelled to goto the banks and borrow -

the moneyat 12 per cent.,\u25a0 asd the identi-cal money would have been returned to thebanks to lie four months withoutbringing anyrevenue to the county. The wrong whichttic public examiner charges me with in thismatter was not for my personal emolu-ment, but against the community of tax-pay-ers. Isubmit to the public of this city andcounty the question whether 1was justified inaccepting the tender of payment as so far com-plying withthe law as to relieve those tax-pay-ers from the penalty of interest, (which is allthat could have accrued), and if they censureme for this "broad and cheerful spirit of ac-commodation," 1bow to the verdict, thoughwith a clear conscience on myown part. . ~

The "exhibit A" to which Mr.Djvis re-fers, contains the names of nearly all theactive business men of the oity, and we arcshocked to notice that they even contain thename of the Press, and also its individualproprietors. Surely such immaculate per-sons could not possibly Lave been a partyto snch a flagrant wrongas they now main-tain was committed.

The statement of the Pioneer Press thatMr. Davis narrowly escaped indictmentby the grand jury,has been too well refutedto need any reply in this community. Itcomes withbad grace for that paper to talkabout indictments in oonneotion wiihcountymatters. A paper, whichif justice was done,would be indicted in forty counties in theState for direct swindling and bribery ofcounty officers to buy their county booksand obtain the county printing at exorbitantfigures at the P. F. establishment. That isthe concern that prates about honesty inthemanagement of affairs in Kamsey county.

Inone case it plundered a county bo effectu-ally that the legislature disorganized thecounty to save the property from confisca-tion by the taxes imposed to pay the P. P.for blank books— a sufficient quantity hav-ingbeen purchased bya bribed officialto lasthalf ncentury.

We congratulate Auditor Davis upon be-ing assailed by such a venal, disreputablesheet.

The more the Republicans dispute Gov.Hendrick's charges against Garfield, thestronger proofs of their truth become. TheRepublican candidate for the Presidencycannot escape from the imputation of hav-ing been an active agent inthe perpetrationof tbe great fraud through which the execu-tive oliice was usurped bya man whohad noright or title to the positition. Garfield wasdoubly guilty. He assisted inpreparing theRepublican case, and this done he procuredthe passage of the electoral billby means offalse representations. He then procured hisappointment upon the commission and atones used his position for purely patisianends. His record in this matter willnotbear inspection.

TIIKLKBBONB OVRACING.

A Sfiinmi l'n\ii'hnlby Ihe Ut>\. Nsimiol <;_Smith ut Mm Klrsi IMoMiiMlint Oliurch.Notwithntanding the stormy weather, a

Urgo Audience gathered yesterday morningto tlnd out what sort of lensons a ministerwould draw fivinraoing. The congregation-

al dinging, ledby the fullorchestra, was veryattractive, aa ÜBual. Mr. Smith took for histext:

Wherefore seeing we aro compassed about byso jrmt i» cloud of witnesses, let us lay usideevery weight and the aiu which doth bo easilybeset us, and let us run withpatience the raceset before us. Looking unto Jesus, the Authorand Finisher ofour faith; who, for tbe joy setbefore Him,endured the cross, despising theshame, and is set down at the right hand of thethrone of God.— Heb. xii,1-2.

He then spoke substantially as follows:Socrates is least beloved among the Greeks

because he took the wings from the feet ofMercury and compelled him to walk alongthe dußty ways of life. Inlike manner thegospel lays under contribution such illus-trations as we are able to arrest our atten-tion and win our interest. Maoh of thepower of Jesus arose from the faot that hetalked about familiar things and associatedthem with spiritual lessons, so that the"common people heard him gladly." If ioany measure the pulpit has lost its power itis because of forsaking the method of theMaster. Ifvines trailed down the hillsideofJudea, he says: "Iam the vine,ye are thebranches." Ifthe last supper is eaten in aroom of a Btranger's house, he declares,"in my Father's house are manymansions." So if a beetle is themost striking formofhuman a.tion tie apos-tle exhorts: "Fight the good fight of faith,''and if there are games and races, he nrges,"run with patienoe the race set before you."Thus the writers of the Bible intimate asympathy withnature and withlife.

A great deal of misanthropy has been ex-tracted from a perverse use of a poorlytranslated text.Imean ITim., rv, 8. "Bod-ilyexercise proflteth little but godliness isprofitable unto all things having the prom-ise ofthe life that now is and also of thatwhich is to come."' Rather read it, "bodilyexercise profiteth for a little while but god-liness is profitable forever **," and yonunderstand the approval of physical oultnre,which it gives along with an unboundedexaltation of godliness.

Foot racing was the most favorite form ofracing with the ancients, as horse raoing iswithns. Isuppose sin cc this figure fur-nishes us with our mo rning lesson that Iought tosay something about the

MORALITY OF BAOING.

Iknow one thing about itand that is thata good horse is not nearly the source ofsinto me that abad one is, especially if Iamthe driver. Ilike a good horse. One ofnerve and mettle and speed. Ifhe has beencarefully selected and has twenty genera-tions of good blood inhim, so mnoh the bet-ter. Why may not ahorse be an aristo-crat? And ifhe has been carefully trainedand knows how to use himself, Ilike himstill better. Why should not (horseshave their teachers and their colleges as wellas men? Itisno more wicked to train ahorse than itis to train a boy. There isnothing wicked then, in the beauty andstrength of a horse. There is nothing wick-ed inhis trimand swift legs. There isnoth-ing wicked in his training anddevelopment There is nothing wickedinmy love of a fine horse. Agood horse isa worthy embodiment of the thought ofGodand a glory of his creation. The author ofthe book of Job revels in bis magnificentportrayals of nature, and shows his sympa-thy with starry sky and bounteous earth.Horsemen ought to love the book of Job,for the thirty-ninth chapter contains one ofthe finest descriptions ofa good horse thatmay be found inall literature.

_Need Iadd, lest Ibe misunderstood, that

cruelty is wrong; gambling is wrong; drunk-enness is wrong; swearing is wrong; rowdy-ism is wrong? But one of the things large-lyneeded inpractical morals is a discrimi-nation between what is wrong initself andwhat is made wrong by a perverse mis3use.IfPaul wrote the Book ofHebrews, andI

think he did, it was written duringhis sojourn as aprisoner inBorne. From thewindow of "his own hired house" he couldprobably see the great ampitheaters de-voted to races and games. He wrote, let ussuppose, the eleventh chapter containing thebrief biographies of the men of faith

—Abel,

Enooh, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph,Moses,— and then, as the heroes thickenedon his memory, he declares that time failshim to describe all the worthy hosts of thepast, and closes the review.

He pauses, and Timothy, who is hisamanuensis, ceases his writingand waits forthe great master. But his eye has wanderedoutward to the great stands and ampithea-ters of Borne, where the ohiefest men andwomen of the empire gather to speed onthose who struggle for the prizes, and as theyoome in on tbe race to greet them withcheeron cheer.

The vast multitudes ranged seat aboveseat, impended over the scene like the cloudsof heaven. He turns again to the work be-fore him. The lists melt away; the crowdsvanish from his eyes: the tumult dies. Theprizes wither and tarnish. And while hemuses and dreams, another vision rises be-fore him.

The lists are those of life. AH activitiesblend into a mighty race toward God andheaven. The judges' stand is occupied bythe Lord Jesus himself. The prizes are"glory and immortality and eternai life."The mighty dead of the ages draw nearunto him. His pulses quicken as he thinksof their struggles and triumphs. The menof faith come back again. Being dead, yetthey speak. They fill tbe heavenly ampi-theater built in the soft Italiansky. Paulturns to the waiting Timothy,and breaksthe silence

—"Wherefore seeing we also are

compassed about with so great a cloud ofwitnesses, let us run withpatience the raceset before;" and Timothy wrote it down,embalming the lesson in the immortality ofscripture.I. Hindrances to the Bace

—''Lay aside

every weight and the sin that doth so easilybeset us."

Most men are like a horse blind inoneeye; they have one side on which the devilcan come pretty close before they are awareof it.

11. Method of the Baoe— "Run withpatience." Some horses are splendid for ashort distance. The frst quarter, you aresure he willwin, but itis the home stretchthat counts in the race. There are Christianswho are earnest and zealous in their earlyexperience, but soon the apostle says, "yedid run well who did hinder you."

111. Inspiration of the Raoe—

"Lookingunto Jesus.'' He endured all before us.Are we desolate? He "trod the wine pressalone." Do we mourn sometimes? Hew»s a "man of sorrows.

"Do the

thorns pierce our feet? His headwas pierced with a crown of thorns, and,beloved, "for the joy Bet before him," heendured itall. The joy of a redeemed andglorifiedbrotherhood of man.

He willbe our judge at the last, and tboawarder of the prizes of life; for he is the"finisher of our faith." Iam not afraid, forwas he not "tempted in allpoints like as weare ?" He knoweth our power; he willre-member that we are dost.

MANKATO.The Hancock and English olub of this oily

met Friday night at its headquarters. Con-siderable, business of importance was trim-baoted, after which the club was addressed byP. A.Foster Esq.,an attorney ofthis city.Mr. Foster, although

_a you man, is.one

who has alwhjs taken great interest |in~

po-litical matters, |He spoke "; from the|stand-point of one who, previous to the year 1872enlisted hi*sympathies with the Republicanparty, but left itat that time with the mil-1

lion others wbo got out of the |Republicanparty because they could no longer respect*themselves and remain in it, and becausethat party refused to punish .the iflagrantwrongs committed inits name |and |by itsadherents. . . ,

Mr.F. P.. Hitchcock, who had also beeninvited to speak, addressed a letter to thepresident of the dub, stating his inability tospeak, but endorsing in the most

'positiveterms the Democratic nominees. Mr.Hitchcock has been a man of prominence inthe Republican party. For years he was theeditor of the leading Republican paper inSt. Lawrence county. N. Y.

Mr.T. D. Francis, of Vernon Centre, be-ingin the room, was called out and ina fewbrief remarks planted himself squarely uponthe Hancock and English platform. Mr.Francis was a great admirer of Horace Gree-ley and remembers him with a great deal ofreverence, and the manner in which the Re-publican party treated Mr. Greeley, CharlesSumner and other men oflike sentiments, isto him enough to cut offall respect for thatparty.

The Doard of county commissioners wereinsession at this city several days this week,the priooipal business being to amend con-tracts forcertain road improvements \a va-rious parts of the county. The grading tothe approaohs to a bridge in Butternut val-ley was awarded to B.H. and Byron Hughes,at $290, the bids ranging from that sum to$780. For a stone culvert in the same town,to Gabriel Lloyd,at $989— the highest bidbeing $2,295; and for building piers for anew iron bridge at Jones' ford, to Williams,McCall &Co., at $2,172— being thehighest bid.

Hancock Banners in Brooklyn.|Brooklyn Eagle.]

There were three new Hancock andEnglish banners given to the breezo inBrooklyn last night. There are at least ahundred of them hung out now. The chiefthoroughfares have a most festive appear-ance, and the Republicans are yet so far be-hind that a stranger visiting the city mightinfer that Brooklyn is all one way. What issignificant inthis form ofcampaign activityis that the Democrats in the various

-wards

have paid for their banners, without assist-ance from any central organization or gener-al committee, while the Republicans seem todepend upon Mr. Daggett, who has chargeof the campaign barrel, to furnish the where-withal. In its way, this shows clearly

SENATOR C. F. HAODONALD.

IIiiSpeech on Receiving a Renoinlnationinthe Steams County Diatrie.t.

Gentlemen of the Convention: For thisnew mark of your oonfidenoe, so generouslytendered, Ithank yon heartily. Itis no un-meaniug compliment to endorse the courseof a public servant by again placing him innomination at the close of his seoond term,

and ItrustIwillnot be aooused of egotismin feeling proud of this flittering exprrssionof vuur confidence.Ihave ever endeavored, when serving you

in the Senate, to faithfully represent yourbest interests, and lam pleased to feel thatmy offioialaction has never been successful-ly impugned.Iaooept yournomination, gentlemen, and

ifelected, Ishall, in the future as in thepast, labor and vote for those measureswhich Ifeel will best subserve your inter-ests.

Andnow, gentlemen ofthe convention, Ipropose for a fewmoments toalnde toa per-sonal matter. In the Nordstern of lastweek there appeared an article reflectingsomewhat severely npon myself. Itis a fool-ish and senseless attack, devoid of truth aswell as oflogic. lam pleased to say thatthis nonsensical trade was not written by theeditor of that paper. Ibelieve him to be agentleman of too much good sense to pensuch stuff. Ionly regret tbat he shouldhave allowed itto appear inbis columns aseditorial matter.

Many of you have doubtles read the arti-cle in question, and are aware of its con-tents. The author warns the conventionthat, ifIam nominated, the Democrats willlose a seat in the Senate, in this importantyear; that Ihave no house nor horne

—no

place, as itwere, to lay my head; tbat Insethe position formy ownaggrandisement, andthatIwillnot faithfullyrepresent the agri-cultural interests of the county.Ithank God, gentlemen, that the viper

who wrote that article had no kind word forme. [Applause.] But, who is the authorof this trashy staff? Who is the man whotakes such a deep interest inthe election ofa Democratic Senator in Steams county?Why gentlemen, he is a Republican politi-cian!Aman whose very presence is a con-tamination to the community, like the fabu-lous atmosphere whioh surrounds the upastree, is withering, poisonous and deadly;

fapplause] a man whose heart is as cold astbat of a fish, and whose touch is as clammyas an oyster; a man who, like BenedictArnold, might exolaim: Ihave not a friendinallAmerica!" [Applause.] The name ofthat fellow, gentlemen of the convention, isJ. V. BBOWEB, who conveniently resigneda land office position, after a governmentdetective had investigated its affairs. [Ap-plause and cheers.]1had hoped to see him here to-day, so

that Imight have pointed out to you thisBepublioan writer of Democratic editorials.Ihave had oocasion, as a journalist, toex-

pose, boldly and openly, the story of thisman's offioial irregularities; and now, like acowardly assassin seeking revenge, he sneaksaround in the dark, and hiding behind theeditor of the Nordstern, he endeavors tostab me in the back! Ihave engaged insome hard political battles, Mr. Chairman,and Ithink that even my bitterest enemywillconcede that Ihave made a bold fight;that Igave and received blows face to face,as brave men should do, never skulking inthe dark like a cowardly savage, endeavoringtodeal unseen thrusts

—as in the case with

this unprincipled individual.Is itreasonable to suppose that this Be-

publioan politician desires the election of aDemocrat in this Senatorial district? Suohan idea is an unheard of absurdity! Is itnot more logical to presume that he fearedmy nomination and desired the selection ofa weaker candidate. He is aware, by expe-rience, that his political friends cannot useme; that Ialways vote Democratic, as therecord of the Senate willshow, and that Inever didand never willvote for a Republi-can for United States Senator. [Great ap-plause.]

Idonot deny, Mr. Chairman, that Iamcomparatively poor in this world's goods.But, all that Ihave is invested here

—your

interests are my interests—Ihave none

other. Shall we say that none but the richshall hold office ! That the wealthy aloneshall legislate for tbe poor! Is that not amost pernicious doctrine? A doctrine con-trary to the spirit of our institutions anddangerous to the welfare of the masses?Most assuredly itis.

This same absurd charge was made by thissame obscure fellow,in this self-same hall,four years ago; and yet bispolitical co-labor-ers openly and honorably acknowledged, atthe close of my first session in the Senate,that Ihad faithfullyand to the best of myability labored for our railroad and otherlocal interests. |Applause.] This statementwillnot be denied, even by the late registerof the land office.

You, gentlemen of the convention, havenot forgotten that, because Istood by yourinterest, instead of those of the individualoffice holders of the

'county,Iwas, at \u25a0 the

election followingmy first session in theSenate, forced into the hottest of politicalbattles ever known f.in"

this county. [Ap-plause.] baa :;:.i:. jiU ,10 r.-v.-.::...:=- \u25a0, v k

Iask your pardon, gentlemen ofthe convention, for occupying so muoh of yourvaluable time indissecting -

such an nnsavory subject as this scribbling assassin.' Youwillagree with me that "the game ishardlyworth the powder." : : <

Ifelected, Ishall endeavor to'prove true

In the variedqualifications needed fora member of theUnited IStates Congress, he stands head andshoulders above jMr. W. D.

Gen. Sibley, the Democratic nominee forCongress for the Third district ofMinnesotais a gentleman of whom itoan truly .bosaid as of the Chevalier Bayard, "Sans peuret sans reproohe." Having been one of theearliest settlers in this part of the country—

when what isnow known as Minnesota,was almost unknown to the white man

—his record has been before all who havemade this State their home, for nearly ahalfcentury.

*Noman can say aught against the

fidelity,honor or integrity of Gen. Sibley.He is true as steel and the very soul of honor.Ifthe people ofthis distrust, irrespective ofparty, do not elect j this well-deserving gen-tleman torepresent them in Congresp it willbe that they dare not place the man abovethe party. Itis time to vote for men, irre-spective of politics or religion. We wantgood men to fillour offices, private or pub-lic Whenever an election occurs in whichthe people can have the power to say bytheir vote whether they willhave an able,spotless man .to represent them,'or a manwhose reputation is in the least doubtful,'there should be no hesitation in the matter.We trust and hope that our people will for-get local pride and sectional jealousies andvote' for the best man, first, last and all thetime they are allowed to do so.
