We learn from tho reports niado to the
Now York World, by its special c-irir-t-
poiitlcnTon the spot, that the Democratic
State Conventjou of lTuiis}lvauia, which
met last week at Reading, was much di
vided hi opinion concerning tho accept-
of the Cincinnati nominees ; n\:.\ to
avoid a dBtrading dimiMion of that
ipiostion, it. was sgiccri that the rrsolti-
fions should make tm allusion to the sub-
j^I t. This accounts for the tomfoolery
about Jefferson aud Jackson, and the
omission to taken position in reference
to lire issues and limn. The correspond
ent states that on the night previous to
the organization, at the meeting of tho
friends of Gen. Gcorgo W. Cuss for Gov
ernor, tho pi inciptd speaker iu his inter
est "lureshttdowed tho policy of a straight
Democratic nomination at Baltimore,"
but that "it met with no response from
the crowd, tthereupon the meeting imme
diately adjourned." Oen. Cass had up to
this liiuo boon regarded as the strongest
and most prominent candidate for the
nomination. But Ex-Senator Bnckalew,
the next day, tied hiiu oil tho first ballot-
• ittg, jtml easily bent him on tho secoml.
Of Mr. Buckiilew tho correspondent of
tho Wdiltf said (before this nomination):
"ho Uaa oousideruble strength, but is not
favored by lho so-called Bourbon ele
ment. ' Wo think that thoso statements
by an anti-Greeley paper will bo sufficient
to disclose to the render tho true senti
ment of the Pennsylvania Democratic
State Convention.
The Supremo Court of FI ii la, on Sat
urday, decided Hint \V. D. Bloxlmm, the
Democratic and Conservative candidate
for Lieutenant Governor in J870, was le
gally elected, This after ho has been ille
gally kept out of the oflice for nearly two
yiturs ! 'The decision goes to the extent of
cli)clmiug that Nil .lack, tho Democratic
candidate for Congressman at tho same
lino, was also legally elected; for both
Bloxhain and Ntblack were cheated out of
positions to which tho people elected them
by the knavish refusal to count the votes
of cfirtAiu counties that gave them major
ities 'The Radical Congressman then
fmudnRally deolan d to be elected still
holds his seat iu tho ilouso of Represen
tatives.
BluxLuiu Los been sworn in as Eicuten-
nut Governor.
AY a cannot tell, of course, how ranch
tut i there is in the report which we copy
below of a plot to "bead off" Greeley, it
is n special dispatch of the 21Hh ult. to tho
Cincinnati Lr*s<Ut. It nothing else inter
posed an insuperable obstacle to carrying
it out, wc should suppose that the refusal
of Guv. Brown t > lake the [mil asGgned
him would block it. Aud, speaking of
Gov.* Drown, we preferred him overall
otLor Liberal Republicans, r.s the nomi
nee for tho 1'iesidency by the Cincinnati
Convention. His speech at Topeka—the
boldest and most uncompromising of all
Hu? denunciations' of Grant and Radical-
ism— assured us that the practical differ
ence between him und a full Democrat
was very slight. But he withdrew in
favor of Greeley, aud of course he could
not with good faith plot against Greeley
now.
The following is tho dispatch to the
C'an tie:
Washington, May 20.—An nuti-Grer-
loy plot, but.this time uuioug Democrats,
instead <>f revenue reformers, is known
to bo Latching here. The object is to
prevent tho Democrats from accepting

is to adopt the Cincinnati platform and
nominate Grata Brown as ATce-I’resident
and a straight-out Democrat for Presi
dent, the combination to be regarded as
the regnlar nomination of tho Democratic
y.arty. It is claimed that tho whole inriti-
« ncc of Blair is secured f«*r such a trade,

not <1 tho Georgia
do nut mean By a resolution adopted by your Exccu
tivo Committee, a convention of the
Demoerutic purty is called to assemltlo
the city of Atlanta, on the ‘Jt'th day June
next at 10 o'clock n. m., in the Hall*of tin
House of Representatives,
The Committee, by nuother resolution,
directed its chairman “toissuo an address
to tho party, giving expression to tho
views of the Gouiniittoe, and explanatory
of its present action."
in accordance with this resolution, l
have tho honor to submit a few wolds lur
j our consideration:
You will perceive that the time fixed for
the assembling of the convention is iu tho
latter part of Juue, about two weeks l>e
foro tho day of the mooting of tho General
Couvcntiou of tbo purty at Baltimore.
This was deemed bent, as it would give
the delegates to Atlauta the advantage of
uknowlodgo of the prior actiou of tho
conventions of the other Suites, and of
the circumstances which could throw light
- upon tho political Mttiution, nnd at the
same time give ample opportunity to tho
delegates to tho General Convention, se
lected at Atlanta, reach Baltimore by the
lull of July.
Tho committee, iu the call for the con
vention, specify but one ptirposo for its
assembling: "To select delegates to the
National Democratic (Convention to meet
in B.iltimoro on the U;h of July next."
it was deemed inexpedient, at the time
of the mooting of jour committeo, to in
clude in tho objects of the convention the
ncinitiation of a candidate for Governor.
At that time a bill was ponding bcfotc. thi
(’otigrcsi of tho (Tilted States to tnuovo
the di ibibtios of citizens disfranchised
by the foiirteoutli tunouduicul of tlio (\m-
i.titutiou. It was nut known whether
that bill would breomo a law before the
time of the ii.v iuubhng of tho Slate Con-
. v<-t.lion. The committee, therefore,
- deemed it proper, and only just to the
people, lo postpone any nomination of a
candidate lor Governor until a time when
it would bo certain whether or not tho
field of choice would bo enlarged.
in addition to this, it was evident that
another convention of tbo Democracy of
tho State must ho culled to uH.scmblu after
tho convention ul Baltimore, to receive
tho report and consider tho action of tho
delegates to that convention, aud perhaps
to uoiiiiuute Pmsideutial electors. This
lutter convention can, also, make a nomi
nation of a cuudidulo for Governor, un
der circumstances, and with tho light of
events to guide them, which would not,
perhaps, exist piior to tho convention ul
Baltimore.
Tlio committee by its resolutions have
called upon you to rouew and perfect
your party oiginizations iu each county.
\Vo lueau by this that, in our judgment,
tho Democratic party should not, under
any circumstances, bo disbanded. Its
piinciplos are tho only true interpretation
of tho constitution; and their buocer-aful
maintenance affords tho only meuiis l'or
the preservation of tho rights of tho Slatlii
and the liberty and protection of tho ii.di
vidual ci izeu. Wo have no apprelioiihimi
that these principles will ln> in any wise
abandoned or ignored by the action of the
Gcuurid Convention ul Bultiuioro. On
the coidrury, wo iudulgo tho earliest hope,
amounting to a confident (insurance, that
tho coiivoution will reassert aud proclaim
anew tlio adhesion of tho Democratic
party to tlio principles of constitutional
government which tho present condition
of the country and tho experience of tho
Southern States during the last kcvoii
years, provo to be tho only foundation for
tlio prosperity of the whole Union, and
Hie renewal of anything like fraternal re
lations among the people of its different
sections.
Nor do wo believe that Gonvention will i « • i
recommend or for an instant contemplate disabilities
tho dissolution of the Democratic part y as ' il,J to ul
ling changes of popular will. Tiuio and
again the hand of rouie Tudor or Stuart,
or tho power of some Blar-Gharaber, or
the grasp of some inilitsry despotism, ha*
f>< i ■>/, tl to crush them into dust. But each
time tlm e xample of some Hampden, or
the sacrifice of some Leo lus proved to
the world that they still existed, and still
claimed tlieir followers and npOBtles.
Dot us unite together ana party, and
with all i's friends, by whatever name
called, save these groat principles of Con
stitutional liberty !
Respectfully submitted for tho Commit
tee. J I'Ll AN HaRTRIDOK,
Chairman.

d< nf. and indorse most cordially the reso
lutions setting forth Hie principles on
which this appeal is mode to the whole
peoplo of the Dnitod States.
A century is closing upon onr experi-

has conic io 1 o the practico of thoHe ele-
vated to the positions of nutioiiul author-
ttv to regard tl.o public Hoivico not as a
pulili * ti list, but only as a means to re-
tain power. This result in Bubstituting
a niuiu paity oigunizaliou for the gov-
ornimu i itself, which impairs all iude-
p( ml id thought, enables (lie few to rule
iho many, and makes personal allegiance
tlm ioad to tavor. it requires little fore-
en.d to peiceive that this will wreck our
libcn u s uni. ss thorn be interposed a time
ly reform of the ad mini st ration from the
highest to the lowest station, which shall
uoi only toibid abuses, but likewise take
‘•way the incentive lo their pructioe.
Wearied with the contentious that
ennied on in the avarice of spoils, the
country d> inamls repose, resents the effort
of otm i.ds to dragoon it ngtin into parti-
sun hostilities, and will zealously sustain
any movement promising a sure duliver-
Ot the potils whii li have been eouuect-

til'ii . of vietoiy into poriuuneut csstrango-
im-nt 'I liu I'niou is fortified by more
power than ever before, and it remains an
inip.-r.itive duty to cement our nationality
by teeouetlialiou. At the North a wide
spread sympathy is ar-mst'd in behalf of
those States of tlio South which long aft
the termination of resistance to rightful
l'» den.I authority are still plundered under
tho guise of loyally, and tyrannized over
in tho name cf freedom. Along with this
fueling is present, t io, the recognition
that in complete amnesty alone can be
found the hope of any return to constitu
tmeal government as of old, or any de
velopment, of a more enduring unity and
broader nntiomil life in Hmfuturo. Aui-
n. sly, however, to bo efficacious, must bo
real, not iminimil, not evasive, but must

Kr. m tho Aberdeen Kxamiuur.
The plan of Helling cotton for delivery
at a future period at a stipulated price,
has received but little attention from tho
planters, but aa a general thing been con
fined to speculators and middle men,
who, iu order to realize heavily upon such
contract, huve year after year eotubined
against the producers, figlitiug the staple
down to such prices as entailed loss upon
those obliged to sell, iiut.il they obtained
control of enough to satisfy their obliga
tions and leave them a handsome margin
for profit.
Now this oustutu of making Rales for
future "delivery” | revails in every lino
of trade—the dealers in grain, pork, su
gar, tobacco, wool, ttc.. all buy and sell
futures,but uo other agriculturist rests his
claim to remuneration lor u years arduous
toil so confidingly iu tho bauds of tho
middle men, ns tho cotton farmer. While
he is toiling to muke a crop, and lookiug
forward hopefully to obtain, say fifteen
cents a pound for his cotton, yet without
the ability to withhold it from sale,though
the markot price may bo nine cents when
it isgitiuedaud packed,the middle men go
forward and sell the anticipated product
of his labor fot fifteen cents, as futures,
to npiuuers and speculators, nnd then
unite in a ring to compel the producer to
sacrifice his crop at such figures

if our farmers are determined upon
devoting their energies to the production
of cotton, then they should at oneo ndopt
tho plau of selling for future delivery
—uh soon as a fuir stand is ohtuiued, the
planter should endeavor to contract for
the delivery of his entire crop by ft cor-

will give him a fair profit; when this is
done, he can return to his field aud labor

Important Reduction in Cotton
Frkiohth.—Wo auuouuce, l»y authority,
that the managers of the Central Rail
road have decided to reduce the through
freights ou cotton per hundred pounds to
W» cents from Macou to New York, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore. From this point
to Haviinnsh the charge will be 25 cents.
Mr. AVadley rnuktib the explicit declara
tion that the company is not compelled
to take this step by the action of trumpe
ting lines, but, on the contrary, will force
them to reduce their rates. * So w e go.
The dear people will be thankful for the
result, however originated or brought
about.—Macon Tiieyraph t 11 th.
Tho reduction above reported ought to
onnlfio tho cotton buyors of Macou to pay
as high a price for tlm staple as is paid
here. Yesterday morning tho CohiioLii-

rived to us, as a political organization,
wheu the Baltimore Convention, by tbo
customary two-thirds vole, shall have
placed in nomination candidal* s for
President and Vice-President of tbo Uni
ted States.
When that nomination shall lmvo been
announced discussion must cease and ev
ery real Democrat will devote Ids influ
ence to secure the eleotion of the nomi

adoption at Baltimore of uny course
which to any Democrat seems good • but
when the Decree of the High Ashemlilv
of the Democratic Parly shall have been
sent forth, theru must be no "uncertain
sound.” The man who thru is not for us
is against ns, and will have voluntarily
placed himself in the category of those
who would sell their birihnght for the
poor miserable Radical pottage, which is
now and then ludled out to the few who
have from time to time left our ranks nnd

The nomination of Mr. Buokalew for

the Liberals. We are told that, while he
bos never publicly expressed himself iu
favor of tho Ciucinuati movement, he is
geucrslly known to incline toward it, and
is Raid to have privately expressed himself
in favor of an iudorsemeut of Mr. Gree

claimed, by the Republican element op
posed to llartranft. His nomination
gives the most perfect satisfaction to ull
parties. The Cass men c-urne forward
frankly after his nomination w..s announ
ced, and expressed their determination to
work heartily for his election.
It is very evident that ho is a Liberal
Democrat, ss we learn fiorn the corns-
poudutit of the Tribune that several Lib
eral Republican papers will support him.
Tbo Lancaster Daily Express, tho ouly
Republican daily in that city, the Lnnces-
ter Enterprise and the Greeley Tribune,
both Republican weeklies, will all heartily
supportnim. The Philadelphia Inquirer
will not oppose him. The Wayne Citizen
and other Republican papers throughout
Um State will support him.
It ia also stated that a Itepublioau from

Washington, June Ist.—Tim British
Minister was iu eonsiiltatiou with Secre-
t iry Fish this attoruuou until alter six
o’clock respecting the piubublo tuiluve of
the Treaty in tho event that tho British
Government should decline to ratify the
Senate Kupplcmental Treaty, it ia under
stood that Eurl Granville* has informed
tJen. Scheiick, who iu tmu eonnnmiic.ded
it to Soorotary Finh this oveuing, tli.it Hor
'•lajosty’s Goverummit. must, decline to
sign the proposed SeOuto luiielo.
••xplunatiouH uro fully given as iu the
meaning of the amdtidmeutR to Iho nrlic-o
proposed by the British t loyerntuen^ A r
the matter is now entirely in Hie hands of
the Benate, and as the mauibers of the
Committeo on Foreign Relations are, \>ith
ft single exception, opposed to any ehruiga
whatever, England nirwfc t»ko the vo-
Hponaibility ol withdrawing ironi arbitra
tion. Members ol the (’abihet autl lead
ing Administration Kciratois aigiro. iu tlm
hopes that the Treaiy is a failure.
Great Brituih' is willing, h.itv.-ver, to"
postjione tha matter and defer arhit ration,
if the United Btulos is whang to further
dieciiss the subject. ThLrai ■. jwav under
consideration. Tho I’rcaident was ut his
room at the Capitol to-night signing bills.
While ho remained iu his room ho showed
the latest dispatch from Lord Granville
to a number of Kcuuiura. ThU lii-paicu
contained nothing n w, hut i; ? i; j ly a
reiteration of tho old demand far explan
ation.
The feeling now is that. Ilio British
Government desires to tide Hio m..tler
over tho present sessi»)n"of the Keii .t",
and ho bo abla to carry on futlh-w ij-
atioim with tho pliiHlio ve^svj Known ns
the Kecrutary of btatc, uuh pondeuliy of
the advisory capacity uf the K«.»:uUi.
Tho determination nut. to i • . do any
further is still uppermost, but it is under
stood that a request fur time fur more
cureful consideration of the Supplement d
articlo has been luodo by the R itlsh Gov
ernment. This request, if it means any
thing, must meun u pofttpuuonKut of tha
Geneva Tribunal, which should meet uu
tho 15th. Without KUidi postponement
tho Treaty wonld be a f dfttre*, in vpifco of
oil the consideration which either Govern
ment can givo it, and no opportunity
would he afforded Mr. Fish to bank dowu
again, for it would fall by its own' terms.
