of a candidate.

XItisthcfuiibiuii just now for the!Republican papers to say, that the action j

of th last Legislature was such that the!entire Democratic press of the Slate de I

There is implied in this argument ofthe Republicans a significant complimentto the Democratic party. : '.

And, now, let us enquire, what did thej

tlepnllican papers do dining the giganticplunderings by a Congress of their par-

ty ? Almost without exception they pro-

vided themselves with bucket and brush,and engaged in whitewashing, y

jR9Wc learn from the McConnelsville7ern W, that Mr. F. M. 'Atkihson hasmade a proposition to Xhe eople .ofMorgan and part of Guernsey and Mus-

kingum" counties, that if they will raise8175,000, he will complete a road from

Cumberland to McConnelsville. . ;

A meeting was held at Malta, .'ami a'

committee appointed to prepare a circu-

lar informing the people of MorganCounty of the above proposition, and ask-

ing their This meeting was

held on the 8th inst since which time we

have received, no further advices.

Itistobeiuferred that Mr. Atkixsoshas an arrangement with some . railroadcompany to make good this proposition

We are not informed of any furthermovements east of the Summit. We

resume that part of the line is to be otherwise provided for. as it appears not tobe included in tbe proposition made to a

the west-ender- s.

As the distance from CunVberland toMcConnelsville Is not far from fifty miles,the proposition a liberal one,

whether the subscribers donate the money or receive stock for it. No money is

to be paid over until the road win opera-

tion.'

.',

. iTA very scurvy trick was , attempted to be played upon Hon. bAMUEL FCart, with the purpose of defeating his

nomination by the Democratic State Convention!

Two days before the Convention a

suit was brought against Cart, the pe-

tition charging him with attemp ing todefraud two other parties in a miningspeculation. The petitfon seems to havebeen filed in the offices of all the Cincin-

nati newspapers on the same day that itwas filed in the Court. , , ?.

:;

This base" scheme was promptly exposed, and its Object defeated. ; It exci-

ted a warm feeling of indignation againstMr. S. F. Huht, in whose interest it was

concocted, but fuller information: satisfied nearly every one that Mr; Hdnt him

self wasectiiely blameless in the mat'

ter. - .

It now only remains for the Republican politicians to take op and continuethe nse of this exploded falsehood in

order to secure for Mr Cart a largermajority than any other candidate onthe ticket.

?There is an instinctive love of justiceand fair play in the people," wnicu will

draw multitudes to Mr Cart's. Isupporb

if any effort be made to injure him. by

such base means. ' '.'

Tbe Senatorial Question."The Democrats of Monroe County on

Monday of last week endorsed Dr. J. BWilliams, of that county," for Senatorfrom this District. We are not informedas to the basis upon which this action ofMonroe County is founded nor in whatmanner the Democracy of that countyregard the Senatorial situation..;1 Norin fact does it make any "difference forthe rJre3ent, for some common understanding must be reached by all counties interested before any unity of actioncan be had. The matter will bo referredto the Democratic Convention - of thiscounty. There should be some adjustment of it. Dr. Williams is an excellentman and would make a good member ofthe Legislature, and we wonld be glad tosee him elected if it is decided that hisnomination has been proper, and no infringement of the courtesies due others."

Tweed Out ol the Penitentiary..Alb art, June 15.--T- he Court of Ap-

peals has unanimously reversed the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case ofWilliam M. Tweed, and bas ordered hisrelease. : ' ' . ::

The judges hold that the writ of habeascorpus has always been construed in. fa;vorof and not against the liberty of thesubject and citizen, and the reading mustbe the same whether the benefit of it isinvoked by the purest and best citizen ofthe State or the greatest sinner and- - theone most worthy of Condi ?n punishment.The law is no respector of persons, andsuffers no man, be he guilty or innocent,to be deprived of his liberty except bydne process of law.and the writ of habeascorpus is as available even to the guilty asto he whom the popular voice would condemo, as it has proved against the commitments by the King in the Council. . Inthe . cumulative sentences the Judgesstate:

"No warrant can be found for cumulative punishment upon a conviction of sev-

eral offences charged in a single indictment, the aggregate punishment exceeding that prescribed by law for the gradeof offenses charged in the indictment andof which the accused is convicted. Itrequires that the offences joined shall beof the same grade and subject to the samepunishment ; that is, punishment that isnot only the same in kind out the same indegree." ' - "

' Thursday, June 10, 1875. (Be it known to the public, that I, the

undersigned, on the 19ih day of May,went to the Board of Commissioners, tosee and hear what they would do towardrepairing a bridge, which broke downion said rond ; the reply was, tbey wouldbe there next day, and wished me tomeet them there in the evening.- - I wentto the place, after some time they came,got off and hitched their horbes. Sotar as l ean remember, Cehrs -- was . thefirst man to commence talking about thejob He appeared so unreasonable tome that I talked back to him, whichcooled him down. He then asked mewhat I would take and put a stone cul-

vert there; I said, perhaps you knowbetter than I, the worth to do it Hethen said a man can do it for twenty- -

five dollars, and I sti i I would not haulthe stone for that pi ice. Armstrongcame and whispered to Cehrs, both thensaid, we will give you fifty dollars, if3'pu will not do it for that, we will sellit ; all right, I said I would not bid anyman down. Then said I there is a pile ofground to throw out Cehrs explainedhow that would do to fill in again, logsyou can leave, and showed me how tolay the bottom flagstone, they need notbe very thick he said. Armstrong thenmeasured how long, wide and high itwould have to be. We then went downthe road to examine another bridge.They allowed that would stand longer.Armstrong .then asked me whetherwas willing to do that job up there.- -

Studying a little I said I would.'. Hethen out with bis note book, commentced writing,: Contracted with V. UlriChto put in a stone culvert twenty-fiv- e feet

Z, two feet wide at the bottom, andtwo feet high, flagstone at the bottom,covered with flagstone on top, ' five orsix inches thick, and to do the necessa-ry filling, tor fifty dollars. He datedit ; and then asked whether 1 would naveit done about the time of their nextmeeting. Said I think 1 can. ' Well,you can get your money then; but, Eaidhe, we will have to inspect it hrst. ' 1

6aid when done I let you know. ' Yes,but I don't like to condemn it by myself. And those words I ought to havetaken as a. hint that he would condemnit On Convention day I met him, saidthat job was done. Well I will go downthis evening and see it said he. I ask-

ed whether I shall come on Monday JNo, he said, better come on Tuesday.'

On Tuesday, tbe Sth ot June, .I wentup to the Auditor's office; after ' inquir- -

ing, Mr. Hoeffler said they nave goneto where tbey are bnilding a new bridge.Waiting until I saw them coming, 1

started up to the Hotel, and met themthere. Armstrong shook bands withme, and exclaimed, your work is allright, only it is not in the right place.

Surprised at such expressions 1 askedhow so.? Well, it i3 to high up. Well,you did not tell me how high, or low Iwas to put it He said it was expectedto be in the bed cf the run. We willbe out there this evening orNext day Arnntrong and Cehrs came' tothe field where I was working and calledme up. Cehrs said the culvert is - toohigh, it is three, feet above the bed of-th-

e

run. Well, said I,' did not measure ;

but the culvert would not ascend oneinch, nor would it, if lower down, butwould fill with mud sooner, be harderto purify, by the general rule of super-visors, for its body is over three feet onlop already.

Gentlemen, I could not work, wherethere were no specifications, contrary tomy opinion. Cehrs said we can't' payyou that price for three or four daysof work ; we will pay you twenty dol-

lars. What? said I, we worked twentyday 8, so hard as we were able withhauling and all, and if you don't wantto pay me in full, keep a'l, I can dowithout it. I expected to have dealingswith honest men, and not with Jews, orsuch unsound heads that could not seemore than three or four days of workthere. Yours,

clined to speak upon public affairs. Hepromised to do bo at an early day tohold a love feast among his friends atwhich there would be three gncsts : Reason, Intellect and Love of Liberty. Ifthe Democrats succeeded, the countrywould be secure for another hundredyears. In a word, the campaign has resolved itself into the ballot vs. the bayo-net The Republican Convention undertook to steer between these streams. Butthey can't dodge the effects of their pastacts. Tbey want a government otherthan that afforded by the ballot-bo- x. Thespeaker continued at considerable length,notwithstanding his promise to be shortHe cut sharply into the idea of the Republican Convention talking about religion.

;THE PLATFORM.

The Democratic part; of Ohio, ioState cooveotioD assembled, proclaimthe following propositions of politicalfaith and action:

1, A sacred adherence to the princi-ples of government declared and put inpractical operation by the fathers of theRepublic.

2. Opposition to aggressions by eitherdepartment of the Government upon thefunotions of the others, and to the exercises by Federal authority of any ofthe powers reserved by tbe Constitutionto the States respectively, or to the peo-ple.

3. The protection of the governmentto all citizens; without regard to race,color or previous condition of servitude.

4. The president's service should belimited to one term, at a salary of twenty-f-

ive thousand dollars a year.5. Retrenchment and reform in every

department of government Federal,State and local,

6. No grants of land or money by thegovernment or use of its credit to rail-

road, steamship or other companies.7. The preservation of the remnant of

public lands ior the benent of citizens ofthe United Mates, and foreign emigrantswho have declared their intention to become suob, who will occupy and onltivate the same. '

y. That the contraction ol tbe eur- -

-ready brought disaster to the businessof the country, and threatens it withgeneral bankruptcy and ruin. We de- -

man1 that thIS Pollcy be abandoned, odcthat lhe TOlume of currency be made andjP1 equal to the wants of trade, leav- -

ine the restoration of leca! tenders ir?

par with gold to be brought about bypromoting the industries cf the people,and not by destroying them.

9. That the policy already initiated

legal tenders and giving tbe JNationalBanks the powir to furnish all the cur-rency, will increase tbe power of an al-

ready daDgerous monopoly, and theenormous burdens now oppresting thepeople, without any compensating advantage. And that we oppose to thispolicy the demand that all tie NationalBank circulation be promptly and per-

manently retired, and legal tendersissued in their place.

10. That public interest demands thatthe government should cease to discreditits own currency, and should make itslegal tenders receivable for all publicdues, exrept where respect for :athe obli-

gation of contracts requires payment incoin: and that we favor the payment ofat least one half of tbe customs in legaltenders.

11. The extinction of the presentNational Banks, and tbe establishmentia their stead of a system cf Free Banksnf ili ii ml iluioi if, only under suchregulations as the bt&tes may respectively prescribe And no paper currencyexcept such as may be issued directly by,and upon the faith of th9 (ieneral gov-

ernment.12. A tariff for the sole purpose of

revenue.13. We favor the complete separation

of church and State; religioas indepen-dence and absolute freedom of opinion;equal and exact justice to all religioussocieties; and purely secclar education,at the expense of the tax payer, withoutdivision among, or control by any sect,directly or indirectly, of any portion ofthe public school fund.

In view of the admirable provisionsof oar State Constitution npon these sub-

jects, which are due to the energy andwisdom of the Democratic party, we de-

nounce the Republican platform as aninsult to the intelligence of the peopleof Ohio, and a base appeal to sectarianprejudices.

14. That we are opposed to the pass-age of what arc called sumptuary laws,or any interference with social habits orcustoms, not in themselves criminal; andwe reprobata any espoinage by one class

upon another nnder any pre-tence whatever.

With this declaration of principlesand policy, we arraign the leaders of theRepublican party for their tstravagantexpecditure and profligate waste of thepeople's money; for their oppressive, nn- -

jnst, and defective system of taxationand finance; ior their continued tyrannyand cruelty to the Southern States of theUnion; for their squandering of the pub-ii- o

lsnds; for their continuance of in-

competent and corrupt men in office athome and abroad; and for their generalmismanagement of tbe GovernmentAnd we cordially invite all men, withontregard to past party associations, to co- -

operate with us it expelling them frompower, and in securing such an adminis-tration of public affairs as characterizedtbe purer and better days ' of the' Repub-lic. T

Transit or Yenus Expedition.The zoological results of the expedi

tion of 1874 are beginning to come tohand. Mr. Slater bas brought fromRodriguez . an unrivalled collection ofthe bones of the extinct solitaire of thatisland and is at present engaged in theirarrangement. The Rev. ii. A. fcatonha3 sent his first report from Kcrsue- -

len's Island to the Royal Society. (Proceeclings, xxiiL, pp'. 351-35- 6). The onlyland mammals found ou the island werethe introduced goat and mouse, and tbeexpedition was attempting to add to thefauna by turning down some rabbits.Two species of seals had been obtained,and twenty-tw- o or twenty-thre- e of birds,mostly albatrosses, petrels and penguinsFish were scarce, and the marine inveritebrata are passed over in the report ashaving probably been more fully col- -

lected by the Challenger. By far themcfrt interesting part of the fauna ofKerguelen's Lind appears to be the eu-- !

tomology. The insects collected be-- jlong to the orders Coleoptera, Colein-bol- a,

Diptera, and Lepidogtera ; and Mr.Eaton finds, in accordance with the ob-

servations of other, naturalists onoceanic islands, that most of the largerspecies are incapable of flight. Thusthe wings are much shortened in a spe-cies of Tinea, and the insect, thoughactive, only moves by jumps, while theyare reduced or even rudimentary inmo3t of the flies, and the larger beetleshave their wing-case- s or elytra firmlysoldered together.

The Suicide auRd by Sheridan'sMarriage,

The following ia from the New York;Tribune : ''Deputy Coroner Lee made apost mortem examination of the bodyof Captain William H. Brown, of theolh United States Cavalrj, who com-mitted suicide on Friday. At the timeCaptain Brown was dying he spoke of aring that he had swallowed. This ringwas found. It was of plain gold, withraised, cl.ased edges. On the int-id-e ofthe ring was engraved 'Be satisfied 'The story of the ring was not ascertain-ed, but it is believed that the ling hadbeen given to Captain Brown by thedaughtf r of an army officer. It is saidthat be had been much attached to theyoung lady, and it is believed that herrecent marriage had upset his mind, andhad been one of the predisposing caus-es of his suiude. The inqaest upon theremains is to be held on Wednesdaynext" On the tame subject the NewYork Star says : William H. ofBrown committed suicide on Friday bycutting his throat, and he did it forlove. If rumors be trqe, be was enga-ged

of

to the young lady in New Orleanswho has since become the wife of Phil.Sheridan. She sent Brown a ring with'Be satisfied' upon it. Brown swallow-ed the rin?, but was not satisfied. 'Hethen cut his throat Poor fellow V
