No Peace Fob Babcock.—A Washing
ton dispatch says it is probable that an
investigation will soon be instituted into
the accounts of Gen. Babcock as Com
missioner of public buildings and grounds
in that city during the present adminis
tration. Gen. Babcock has dispensed an
enormous amount of money in this ca
pacity, and there is a desire to see wheth
er there is any “crookedness” in this
branch of his business. If common re
port is to be relied upon this investiga
tion will open up more corruption. It is
also likely that Gen. Babcock will be af
forded the opportunity to fell what he
knows about post-traders. Heretofore
when surprise has been expressed at his
acquisition of shekels his friends have ex
plained it by saying that he had made
them by speculation with his brother in
western lands. That is what they called
it, but the post-traders would call it
something else.
Mr. Hugh Hastings, an editor of the
principal administration organ in New
York, made a speech in that city a few
evenings ago, in which he said : “Another
century of such experiences as America
has had would produce results incalcu
lable to the most sanguine fancy.” The
Baltimore Gazette says these words are
exceedingly vague and mysterious, and
confesses its inability to comprehend
what Mr. Hastings is driving at.
Mr. Hastings has, no doubt, been er
roneously reported. Contemplating the
usurpation fraud and corruption, which
is fast making the government insupport
able, he was evidently looking forward
to the time wnen the people would be
forced to resort to revolution. He meant
to say that a prolongation of such ex
periences as that of the last ten years
would produce results incalculable to the
most sanguinary imagination.
Not having the audacity to attempt a
vindication of their party from the fraud
and corruption which prevails in every
department of the government, from the
White House down to the log cabin of
the post-trader, the recent overwhelming
disclosures of which have shocked the
public credulity and brought disgrace on
the American name, the Radical organs
are compelled to the miserable resort of
asserting, without attempting to prove
the charge, that the Democracy are as
corrupt and as unworthy to be trusted
with the control of the government as
their own party. Such is the substance
of a column editorial in the Philadelphia
American. If the editor’s pot and kettle
logic could convince the people of th»
truth of his slander then might they in
despair exclaim, “God help the country.”
Glorying in its Own Shame.—Tin
Atlanta Constitution makes the following
editorial announcement: “Having filled
a number of orders for supplements con
taining the lease evidence in full, we still
have seven or eight thousand copies,
which we will furnish free of charge to
any Georgia journal wishing them. Wt
are desirous that the people should read
the evidence so far as the Constitution it
concerned. Hence we will furnish it free
of charge on request. More interesting
reading cannot be furnished the people.
All wish to see it” The Constitution
would add to the interest of its supple
ment if it were to print in it a few
columns of the comments of the honest
press of the State on the Constitution s
ideas of journalistic “ethics.”
Mb. Pendleton’s Big Fee.—The New
York Express says: “From a near rela
tive of the Hon. George H. Pendleton
and Mrs. Bowler, we are informed, and
requested to state, that Mrs. Bowler was
the sole owner of the railroad, and the
arrangement with Mr. Pendleton was a
family matter entirely, and that Mrs.
Bowler got her full share of the $80,000
alleged to have been paid to Mr. Pendle
ton over his legal fees.”
Mr. Pendleton should have stated
that factin his testimony be
fore the investigating commit
tee. But it is also alleged that Mrs.
Bower got her full share of the claim
paid to Mr. Pendleton. We sincerely
hope that the former assertion may pro^e
to be true and the latter false.
administration partisans are
>ing about the disclosure of Pendle-
>utrageous charge for collecting »
as if the matter in some way con
l the public. In this connection,
ashington Sunday Herald very pro
remarks: “When the Democracy

responsible for the manner in

isnharge their public trusts; but no
can be held responsible for the

A Slander Upon Senator Ransom Dis<
posed Of.
The slanderous attack upon United
States Senator Ransom, of North Caro
lina, by the Wilmington, N. C., Post, in
which it is alleged that Senator Ransom
bribed ex-Gov. Vance to resign his seat
in the Senate with the understanding
that he was to be elected thereto, is dep
recated and denounced as utterly un
founded by honest men of all parties.
The facts, as set forth in a Washington
special to the Baltimore Sun, are as fol
lows: Gov. Vance was elected in Decem
ber, 1870, and being under disabilities
was not permitted to take his seat. He
resigned in January, 1872, after a long
and unsuccessful effort to obtain admis
sion. The resignation was approved of
and advised by his friends in Washington
and in North Carolina. Gen. Ransom was
elected by the Legislature after a very
sharp and close contest, being nominated
in the Democratic caucus by one vote
over his present colleague, Senator Merri-
mon and Judge Warren. Ransom was
not admitted until late in April, the
seat being contested by Gen. Abbott,
the unsuccessful Republican candidate
against Gov. Vance. After the admis
sion of Ransom a resolution was intro
duced by Senator Bayard to pay Ran
som from the beginning of the term.
The resolution received ‘the unanimous
approval of the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, and was passed by the
unanimous vote of the Senate. While
the resolution was pending, and after its
passage, Senator Ransom declared to his
then colleague, Senator Pool, and many
other Senators, Democrats and Republi
cans, that he should, give the money to
Gov. Vance, as he thought he was justly
entitled to it, having been elected to the
place by the State of North Carolina.
Immediately after the adjournment of
Congress Senator Ransom sought Gov.
Vance and insisted upon his taking the
money which had been voted to Ransom
for the time that Vance held the cer
tificate. This Vance refused. Finally,
upon consultation wuh friends and in
their presence Gov. Vance consented to
receive a portion of the fund, and Sena
tor Ransom gave him a check for $2,500.
This matter was well known at thg time,
and was published in the North Carolina
papers, and was universally considered by
all good meu, regardless of party, as a
noble and graceful act.
The Way Elections abe Condccted
in New Hampshire.—The corruption in
New Hampshire politics is not difficult to
understand when one considers the pecu
liar manner in which voting is done in
that State. According to a correspond
ent of the New York Tribune, there is no
such thing in the State as a secret ballot.
If a voter hands in his ballot folded up,
the Selectmen, before depositing it in
the box, will open it and lay it m flat, so
that everybody in the room is enabled to
see how the man votes. Furthermore,
mstead of a locked ballot box, with a
narrow slit for the insertion of the tick
ets, a large wooden box with a sliding
cover is used, and when the Selectman
'•eceives a ticket, he slides back the cover,
lays in the ticket, and presses down the
pile with his haud. And at any time in
»he course of the day when the Select
men choose to do so, they take out the
tickets, examine them, and count them.
With an election so conducted and the
party in power expending every dollar
that can be wrung from the office holders,
the result need surprise no one.
The Sober Second Thought.—A few
days since, says the Philadelphia Chroni
cle, Senator Gordon, of Georgia, in an
able and temperate speech, advocated the
initiation of a wholesome civil service
reform in the collection of whisky taxes,
which recommendation, instead of
promptly meeting with the favor it so
well merited, was immediately assailed
by Republican Senators and the Republi
can press. Instead of meeting it with
the logic of opposing statesmanship they
poured out upon him a flood of bitter
partisanship, and for the time the coun
try was led to believe that Senator Gor
don had done everything but raise the
flag of secession. The sober second
thought is now having its turn, and re
flecting people are beginning to think
that the Georgia Senator was all right
and his opponents all wrong. His emi
nently sound and salutary suggestions
are meeting with general approval, and
the more they are thought upon, the
more cordially will they commend them-
lelves to popular favor.
In the din and clatter that has been
coming up from Washington during the
last ten or fifteen days an exceedingly
important matter has been generally
iverlooked—the refusal of the applica
tion of the sewiDg machine companies
for an extension of the patent for what
is known as the “four-feed motion.” The
effect of this action, says the the Balti
more Gazette, will be to largely reduce
the price of sewing machines, which will
•)f course be a direct benefit to hundreds
of thousands of poor women and oth
ers who have for years been swindled
most outrageously to put money in the
pockets of monopolists who long ago
received all the benefits to which they
nre entitled from their inventions. The
Republican committees always reported
m their favor, but the present Democratic
Committee on Patents has smashed the
sewing machine riDg.
A correspondent asks us why we do
not let up on Benjamin F. Butler, who
has of late ceased to fatigue the public
indignation and retired to private life.
“What,” asks our correspondent, “has
this Massachusetts hero and statesman
done that you do not forgive him, but
continue to call him Beast Butler V The
following is our answer:
“Headquarters of the Department of
the Gulf, New Orleans, May 15, 1802 —
As the officers and soldiers of the United
States have been subjected to repeated
insults from the women, calling them
selves ‘ladies,’ of New Orleans, in return
for the most scrupulous non-interference
and courtesy on our part, it is ordered that
hereafter when any female shall, byword,
gesture or movement, insult or show con
tempt for any officer or private of the
United Stales, she shall be regarded and
held liable to be treated as a woman of the
town plying her avocation By command
of Major General Butler.”
Federalism Degenerated.— Having
received a letter from an aged Whig of
three score and ten, the New York Herald
has discovered that a revival of the Whig
party is “probably an inevitable incident
of the political future.” The Springfield
Republican asks “why not revive the Fed
eralist party at once, and done with it?
To which the answer might be returned,
says the Baltimore Sun, the Federalist
party, in all but name and incorruptible
honesty, seems to have been revived for
some years, and to haye full control of
the government.
"The Cincinnati Commercial says: “The
solid voice of Ohio for Bristow would
knock the Morton and Conkling schemas
out of time, and the ticket might be
Bristow and Hayes. The objection that
both candidates were Western men would
not be true. This is not the West. We
are simply not on the Eastern frontier.
Bristow and Hayes live in the centre of
the cotmtay.”

Platform of the Pennsylvania State
Convention.
8TIBRING APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE
TO PUT DOWN CORRUPTION.
Eloquent and Just Arriuttnnient of Kadi,
cal Maladministration.
Lancaster, March 22.
The following platform was adopted by
the Democratic Convention:
The Democracy of Pennsylvania reassert
their devotion to all of the provisions of
the Federal Constitution aud to a perpetual
union of the States, and pledges itself to
rigid fidelity to public trusts, to a Dure and
economical administration of the Federal,
State and municipal governments, to local
sell-government in any section, to the hon
est payment of the public debt
and the preservation of the public
faith. They see with humiliation
and alarm the evidences of bribery, fraud
and peculation in high places, the distress
that prevails and the wide-spread financial
ruin that impends over the people of the
State, and they charge that these evils are
the direct results of personal government,
unwise legislation, the vicious financial
policy and the extravagance and corruption
of the Republican party. They declare:
First. That the civil service of thegovern-
ment has become corrupt and has been made
the object of personal gain, and infidelity to
public trust become the rule aud not the ex
ception. All believe that honesty, and esa
pacity, and fidelity are the only tests of fit
ness for public station, and that the whole
some penalties of the law should be used
with rigor to enforce official accountability.
Second. That the recent and repeated
exposures of fraud and corruption m the
administration of public affairs cali for a
searching and thorough investigation of the
conduct and condition of every branch of
the public service, to the end that all cor
rupt parties may be brought to light, and
that all who have abused aud betrayed their
public trusts, whatever may be their sta
tion, may be exposed and punished, and we
urge those in charge of this subject at
Washington to a prompt, thorough aud ex
haustive examination of their respective
fieldsjof labor.
Tnird. That retrenchment and economy
are indispensable m Federal, State and
municipal administration as the essential
means towards lessening the burdens of the
people, and we commend the efforts of a
majority of the House of Representatives
for the reduction of the expenditures of the
Federal Government to a just standard, and
their determination to lessen the number of
useless officials.
Fourth. That general amnesty to all per
sons implicated in the late rebellion against
the government of the United States, who
have not already been relieved from disa
bilities by the action of Congress and of the
President, would be an allowable aud proper
exercise of governmental power in the
year of the Centennial celebration of
American independence, and that the re
commendation of such a measure by Presi
dent Grant in a public message, and its en
dorsement and passage by a Republican
House of Representatives at a former ses
sion, constitute full proof that such a
measure is fit, judicious and timely.
Fifth. Approves of those provisions of the
State constitution which protect not only
the school funds, but other public monies
from appropriation to sectarian usto, and
that they fitly illustrate that doctrine of the
separation of Church aud State, which has
always been a cardinal one with the Demo
cratic party.
Sixth. That the statute for the resumption
of specie payment on the 1st of January,
1879, is impossible to execute, aud is a de
liberate proclamation that at that date the
United Spates will go into bankruptcy. It
paralyzes industry, creates distrust of the
future, turns iatorcr and producer out of
employment, is a standing threat upou the
buaiuess men, aud ought to be forthwith re
pealed.
Seventh. That gold and silver are the only
true basts for the currency of the republic,
and that Congress should take such steps
for the resumption of specie payment as
will most surely and speedily r« ach that
result without destroying the business in
terests of the people.
Eighth. That the present depression of
all our national industries, which checks
the wholesome flow of capital through the
channels of enterprise, and denies to the
honest laborer a decent livelihood, is the
direct and inevitable fruit of the extrava
gance of reckless and dishonest Repubicans
tampering with the fiuances of the country,
and we denounce tbo authors of that
legislation as officials who have unsettled
the foundations alike of the State and of the
home. We call upou the people to aid us to
halt them in this fatal career, and to set
their faceB in the direction of practicable
measures which shall eventually enable the
Treasury of the United States to keep its
plighted faith with rich and poor altKe. We
demand legislation through the power of
the Federal Government which shall
give performances ior promises, aud
restore solveucy to the nation b?
restoring property to the people of our
sister States. We rejoice iu the opportunity
to celebrate the centennial of the proclama
tion of our emancipation from the govern
ment of the British crown, makiug as it did
the epoch of the greatest event in modern
history, aud feel a iust pride that its cele
bration shjuld be upon the soil of our own
commonwealth and the city where independ
ence was declared.
A resolution declaring that this conven
tion presents to the Democratic party of the
United States the name of J. S. Black as a
candidate for President was laid on the
table.

HOW THE PRESIDENT SHALL BE ELECTED.
Washington, March 22.—The joint reso
lution introduced by Senator Edmunds to
day proposes to substitute for article 12 of
the Constitution a new article, of which
the main features are the following: The
electors are to ballot in their respective
States for President aud Vico President as
at present, but lists of votes must bo sent
to the presiding Justice of the Uuitod States
Supreme Court. The Supreme Court,
at a time aud place to be fixed
by law, is to publicly open all
the certificates and count tho votes,|and tbe
person having the largest number ot votes
lor President, considered by the count to
have been lawfully given aud certified, shall
be President, if sugU number be a majority
of tho whole number of electors lawfully
appointed. If no person has bucU majority
the State of tbe voters snail be immediately
certified to tho Hou-e of Representatives,
which, from the persons having the highest
number uot exceeding three on the list of
those voted tor as President, shall choose
tbe President immediately by a
viva voce vote, tbe representation
from each State to have oue vote
it a majority of its delegation agree on oue
candidate, but otherwise tbe vote of such
State is not to be counted. A quorum is to
consist of a member or members from two-
thirds of tbe States, and a majority of the
States shall be necessary for a choice. The
voting must continue till a President is
elected. In case the House fails to elect
before the fourth of March next following,
then the Vice President shall act
as President, as in case of death
or constitutional disability of the
President. The person having tbe greatest
number of electoral votes for Vice President
to be counted and determined as above pro
vided shall be Vico President if such num
ber be a majority of tbe whole number of
electors. If no person is thus elected the
Senate is to choose a Vice President by a
majority of its whole membership. Finally,
it is provided that no Justice of the Su-
preme Court shall be eligible for election as
President or Vice l’reeideut until the expira
tion of two years after he shall have ceased
to hold office.
THE NEW YORK RADS.
Syracuse, March 22.—Tho platform of the
Republican party—For the unity of tbe na
tional and just rights of the Slates, full re
conciliation of all sections and the inviola
ble preservation of the results of tbe war ;
thorough retrenchment and reform, un
sparing pursuit of exposure and punish
ment of public frauds and official dishon
esty ; maintaining untarnished the national
credit aud honor ; & sound currency of coin
or paper convertible into coin; comm
schools absolutely free from sectarian in
fluences. It concludes as follows :
“We charge the Democratic party with
being tbe same in character and spirit as
when it sympathized with treason—with
making its control of the House of Repre
sentatives the triumph and opportunity of
the nation’s recent foes—with reasserting
and applauding in tho National Capitol sen
timents of unrepentant rebellion—with
sending Union soldiers to the rear and pro
moting Confederate soldiers to the front—
with deliberately proposing to repudiate the
plighted faith of tbe government—with
beiDg equally false aud imbecile upon the
oversbadowiug financial questions—with
thwarting tbe ends of justice by its
partizau mismanagement and tbe obstruc
tion of investigation through four mouths
of its ascendency in the lower House of
Congress—with proving iteelf utterly incom
petent to administer the government—and
we warn -the country against trusting a
party alike unworthy, recreaut and incapa
ble. Iu laying down bis trust at the close
of the period for which he had been chosen,
President Grant will carry with him the
lasting gratitude ot the American people for
his patriotic services iu war and in peace.
We present Roscoe Conkling to the National
Republican Convention as our choice for the

HANDSOME FIGURES!
Up to July 1st, 1875,
lotteries.
While Pastor of the Canton Church, New
Jersey, gome years ago, I temporarily lost
my voice, anil was in consequence unable to
preach lor nearly a year. Last spring 1
began to have all the-iymptoms of losing it
again. I labored with great difficulty, fear
ing each time I preached would be tbe last.
In July I commenced using Dr. Jayne’s Ex
pectorant, at the same time rubbing my
throat and chest freely with the liniment.
I gargled my throat daily according to the
directions given in Dr. Jane's Almanac, at
the same time taking the Expectorant regu
larly. Feeling very mnch better, I discon
tinued the use of the gargle and the lini
ment, bat still kept on with the Expectorant.
This winter I have been more exposed, and
preach oftener than for many years past,
and yet my voice seems to be growing
stronger, aud were it not for tbe require
ments of my calling, I firmly believe a per
manent cure would be effected by the Ex
pectorant. At all events the good it has
done, and is doing me, makes me anxious to
recommend it to all whe are suffering from
throat or lung complaint.—Ret. W. Pike,
Lakeville, Washington counlu. N. Y.
