UADIC&L ESPIOSAUiC WaKED IP
THK WRUNG PaSSENUKH.
Washington letters give details of the sys
tem of espionage which was inaugurated by
the Board of Managers, by means of which
the Senators were watched, and their foot
steps dogged by detectives for days previous
to Saturday, when the vote was taken.
Chief Justice Chase was tracked incessantly.
Nobody entered his house without observa
tion. The persons with whom he dined
were marked- So with respect to Senators
Fessenden, Trumbull, Grimes, Henderson,
Vau Winkle, Fowler and Koss.
The espionage wa9 so strict on Friday
night, says a letter to the New York World,
that some of the detectives employed missed
and mistook their men. I am informed to
day that one Senator, one of the most vio
lent impeacherain the Chamber, was tracked
that evening by a detective who labored un
der the impression that bis man was a doubt
ful one. Xkt3 detective had a long chase,
which ended at a house of ill-fame. The
hostess, a3 it is said, agreed for a considera
tion to open the door of the apartment to
which the" prey of the detective had hied.
The spy peeped, beheld the Heoator, a bot
tle of wine, several glasses, and three dam
sels in decidedly very negligent auire, and
vanished, overcome with disappointment and
disgust- The Senator thus apprehended is
said to be a “ man of prayer.”
bOLTHi^ttn HAD1CAL9 1m THEIR
GLORY.
A Chicago letter describes the character
and conduct of the scalawags who assumed
to represent the Southern States in that au
gust body, ou the day previous to the nomi
nation. The writer says:
The Southern delegations are claimed by
all the candidates as sure. They have
pledged themselves all around. The Texas
delegation, which arrived here to-day, have
two colored delegates among their number.
It is amusing to see aoine members of the
New York delegation taking these ebony
broiher-deiegalea to their rooms aud urging
them to vote for Fentoo, sandwiching tueir
arguments with gin cock-tails and brandy
smashes, and iaviting them to visit their
families in New York. The seven or eight
colored members have become noted Chirac
ters, and have received more free drinks
thauStbey ever saw before. -There are seve
ral vacaucies in the Southern delegations,
and there 13 a struggle to fill them up. Some
of the delegations have offered to fill these
vacancies for $100 a delegate. The like of
this was never before known in any Con
vention. There is no doubt that there can
be made four or five vacancies in each dele
gation, and filled for $100 each. This is a
new way of raising the wind.
Another letter says the bsuthern delegates
represented that they were very poor mar
tyrs to loyalty, and desired to make a little
money out of their position. We may be
thanktul that the. leader of the miserable
pack in his speech claimed hi9 nativity not
in Georgia. Our unfortunate sister State,
South Carolina, hag no cause to be proud of
her recreant son.
Ex-President Pierce has written a letter
to Bay that be will sustain Mr. Pendleton,
Mr. Seymour, Mr. Hendricks, Mr. Doolittle,
General Hancock, or any other jn&n whom
the Democratic Convention may nominate
for the Presidency. He desires a uuited De
mocracy and a vigorous effort to “arrest the
surge of constitution-defying radicalism.”
With this spirit among the democrats gene
rally the party mo9t again become formidable
in the political struggles of the country.
The ex-President will probably be considered
as sound a man on the subject of the party’s
principles aud policy as any other in the
country.
Joe Brown to ee Hung.—udson, May 12,
—After a careful consideration of an applica
tion for a respite in the execution of Joseph
Brown, who was convicted of the Canban child
murder, Governor Fenton has declined to inter
fere with the sentence of the court, and the
prisoner will consequently be hanged in this
city, on Saturday, the 30th inst. The execution
will be strictly private, and conducted under a
strong guard.
Joe Brown ought to be hung.
Can't Stare the Decency.—The New
York Times reforing to the efforts of Greelfey,
Forney and others to proscribe the only
honest Senators in the party says: •
With men who respect their convictions
and tbeir oaths, no party can afford to quar
rel.. To cut them (the “seven’*; off. as Logan
and the Press propose, would be to drive out
of the party ail that makes it respectable,
and to establish a despotism which few
who value truth aud justice and duty could
tolerate.
That may be very good logic in the North*
era States, but it would not be accepted
down here in the military provinces. Here
men who .“respect their convictions and
their oaths,” are entirely below par with the
Radicals. Here peijury, felony, or villainy
of some sort is a necessary qualification for
Radical preferment,
Terrible Ravages o» the Yellow Fever
at Callao.—The State Department at Wash
ington is in receipt of a dispatch, dated 20th
ultimo, from the United States constol at
Oallao, stating that the yellow fever is still
raging with great violence, both thefe and at
Lima. Business at Callao is almost entirely

chiefly foreigners, have fallen victims to the

THl CHICAGO PLSTFORM.
In another column we publish the platform
patched up by the wire p oilers of the so-
called Republican party, and put forth as a
manifesto of political faith by the Chicago
Convention.
It was not to be expected that a party so
utterly destitute of principles, and who rely
entirely upon the luiitioas popularity of
their candidate, and the lurements of power
and plunder, for success, would venture to
commit themselves to any specific liue of
policy by which to be governed in the ad
ministration of the Government. In this
we have not been disappointed. Their so-
called platform is nothing but a string of
generalities, in which any distinct enuncia
tion of fundamental principles is carefully
avoided, and in which whatever adcaptanden
ideas that are politic, aud appeal to the pas
sions of the mob are embraced, while What
ever is right aud just, and statesmanlike,
but which would encounter prejudice among
the ignorant and fanatical, is carefully ig
nored.
in the matter of suffrage, the important is
sue of the canvass, an attempt is made to
adopt the platform to suit both sections of
the country, in doing which, they not only
commit the party against (be equality of
the States, but disclose the utter falsehood
of their .pretended recognition of the politi
cal equality of the races as a principle. They
say that Congress is to guarantee suffrage to
fell the loyal people of the reconstructed
States, whilst ia the North the suffrage is to
be left to the people of the several States.
The popular vote on that subject in the
Northern States, observes the Baltimore San,
“was sufficient to show the Convention
what to let alone in that direction- If Ohio
and Michigan had voted differently, the Con
vention would probably have made a plat
form to suit that vote. Therefore, what hon
esty of principle is there in the platform on
that point ? But the reconstructed States
having no rights, nor power, if they had, of
enforcing them, they are handed over to the
political supremacy of a class which the
North will not permit so much as to have a
voice in its government.
“ Upon the vital questions of currency and
taxation there is no square fflciug of the is
sues of the day, but .vague declarations and
ambiguities, intended to befog aud delude.
There is a grand flourish about paying off
the national debt ia—good faith, which may
be made to mean greenbacks or gold, accor
ding as the letter and spirit of the contract
may be construed.”
Andrew Johnson is accused of extrava
gance, an assertion which can only be made
by men who think the American people are
simpletons, and do not know that the Exe
cutive is lying helpless at the feet of Con
gress, and incapable in any case of the crime
charged upon him, as Congress has to make
all the appropriations, and the President can
not spend a dollar that they do not authorize.
Do they suppose the country does not know
this, or has forgotten who is responsible for
the freedmen’s bureau and other heavy mili
tary outlays in the South, which the Presi
dent has in vain endeavored to remove ?
'Whilst declaring that Andrew Johnson
was justly impeached for high crimes and
misdemeanors, the platform avoids any con
demnation of the non-impeachment Sena
tors. Thus the party has let itself down
easy on this subject, after all its grand lu-
rore over impeachment, and the spending of
probably half a million ia the trial, besides
the waste of precious limb demanded by
measures vitil to the great practical inter
ests of the country.”
It ha3 been alleged that General Grant has
ielt very solicitous in regard tq the platform
on which he was to be placed by tho.-*e who
seek to use him, and that he bail evea threat
ened to refuse to lend himself to their pur
poses, unless the platform was to Lis liking.
We think the platform, which ha3 neither
statesmanship nor principles in it, is admi
rably adapted to the man, who is so distin
guished for the lack of both. If two negatives
make an affirmative, then the prospect of Gen.
Grant’s nomination being affirmed are im
proved by bis platform. It is to be hoped,
however, that in this crisis, involving the life
of the Republic, the people will desire some
thing more reliable and satisfactory than
either General Grant or his Radical non
committal platform.
A STATE CONVENTION OP THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY.
Several of our cotemporaries in various
parts of the State have recently expressed
themselves on the subject of a State Conven
tion of the Democratic party. AU agree up
on the propriety of calling a convention, al
though there appears to be some disagree
ment as to the proper time for'the meeting.
The editor of the Columbus Sun so fully ex
presses our views on the subject, that we
adopt bis article. He says :
The Cehtral Executive Committee, which
is empowered to fix the time and place, will
meet ia a few daya* trad we are satisfied to
abide its decision. It is important, yea, ne
cessary, that there should be a Convention ;
one embodying a fall representation of the
party throughout the entire State. It occirs
to us that it would be beat not to hold it un
til after the action of the Democratic
National Convention in July, hs the
action ot that body will necessarily bt
presented to the Southern States for ratifica
tion, the issues of the campaign wil< have
thea been fully made up, and men will have
had ample time and opportunity to choose
their party affiliation. Nothing can be saved
by premature action. If Georgia ia t<J have
a hand in the coming contest, let her be
marched into the lists, fully armed and
equipped, and under the leadership of men
of discretion and courage.
Ia the present attitude of pdlitical affairs,,we
do pot conceive that it is pos iible for the
Democracy of the North to taisundarstajid
the views and feeling of the oppoisents of Rad
icalism in the South. It is for th*? Democracy
of the North to pitch the battle in which the
cause of constitutional governuieu t is to be de
termined. In arranging their forces they can
safely count on the, support of tb e Democracy
Of the South under any democrati c leader who
may uphold the banner of the 1 Constitution.
That leader must be their strong esl man, who
must stand squarely upon the principles of the
Constitution. In selecting that 1 eaderand de
fining the principle^ that are to. be contend
ed lor, the National Democracy do not need
our dictation or advioe—they e: rpeefc our ap
proval and aid. Whet need th to for a State
Convention in advance of the National
Democratic Convention, in which Georgia
with all the Southern States ire invited to
have a voice ?
The Executive Commlttc e, however,
which meets on Thursday nei p, will deter
mine the matter, end whether it is decided
to have the Convention befo re or after the
New York Convention, we t rust that there
wiU be perfect, unanimity an d concord in
the adoption of its suggestions
Ominous.—A Chioago letter in the Boston
Post says when, in the course of hie speech
before the Convention, Ex-Go* r. Brown said

It will be temesnbcKtA;tfa|| vigorous
efforts were made here to induce Gen.
Meade to investigate the frauds practiced
upon our people before, during and lines
the election. Some may even recall the feet
of having cherished a belief that Gen. G&o.
Gordon Meade was about, to act in the mat
ter somewhat after tbe fair fashion in which
that satrap is said to frame his speech. We
at least shall be acquitted of any complicity
in or connection with this.weakness. It ap
pears, however, that the appeals and proofs
from here struck terror into the guiUy soul
of Hulbert, and he immediately set about,
like a wary old rat as he is, to prepare a de
fence for bis ho|e. It ia known to oar read
ers that we have been running about tbe
country some little of late. Well, we beard
many curious things abont various people.

of some of bis lacqueys. Some of those

In the meantime, and tor present used, we
will only give to our readers the subjoined
letters from Express Hulbert. It will be
acknowledged that they are provocative of
sharp and extended comment. We have
neither time, space or inclination to say
more than that Halbert and Duer will not
deny the authenticity of the following docu

lu another article tbe Sun says:
While Express Hulbert writes to his man
Friday, Duer, to get up affidavits as to the
ineligibility of Mr. Hinton, the Senator elect
from this District, in order thutjhe pliable
Chapman might enjoy the succession, it bo
happens that Mr. Hinton holds in his pos
session a letter from Hulbert, instructing tbe
Registrars of this District to register Mr.
Hinton, the question of his eligibility ha«
been examined into, and decided favorable
by Hulbert.
It is quito safe to say that without the fer

THE UHlCAOl) PLATFORM.
Chicago, May 21.—The platform adopted is
as follows:
The National Republican party of the United
States assembled m National Convention in the
city of Chicago, on the 28th day of May, 1888,
make the following declarations of principles :
First. We congratulate the country on the
assured success of the Reconstruction project
of Congress as evinced by the adoption in a
majority of the States lately in rebellion of
Constitutions securing equal cival and political
rights to all, and regard it as the duty of the
Government to sustain these institutions and to
prevent the people of such States from being
remitted to a state of anarchy. [Cheers.]
Second. The guarantee by Congress of equal
suffrage toall loyal meu at the South was de
manded by every consideration of public sai’e-
ty, of gratitude, and of justice, aud mu9t be
maintained, while the question of suffrage in
all the loyal States properly belongs to the peo
ple of these States. [Cheers ]
Third. We denounce all forme of repudia
tion us a national crime, [prolonged cheers],
and the national honor requires tne payment
of the public indebtedness in the utmost good
faith to all creditors at home and abroad : not
only according to the letter, but the spirit of
the law under which it was contracted. [Ap
plause.]
Fourth. It is due to the labor of the nation
that taxation should be equalized and reduced
as rapidly as national facility will permit. .
Fifth. The national debt, contracted as it
has been for the preservation of the Union for
all time‘to come, should be extended over a
fair period for redemption, and it is the duty
of Congress to reduce the rate of interest
thereon whenever it can honestly be done.
Sixth. That the best policy to diminish our
burden of debt is to so improve our credit that
capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower
rates of interest than we now pay and must
continue to pay so long as repudiation, partial
of total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
Seventh. The Government of the United
States should be administered with the strictest
economy, and the corruptions which have
been so shamefully nursed and fostered by An
drew Johnson, call loudly for a radical reform.
and tragic dealt of Abraham Lincoln aud re
gret the acces-ion of Andrew Johneon to the
Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the
people who elected him and the cause he was
pledged to support; has usurped high legisla
tive and judicial functions ; has refused to ex
ecute the laws; has used his high office to in
duce other officers to ignore nail violate the
laws; has employed his Executive power to
render insecure the property, peace, liberty and
life of the citizens ; has abused the pardoning
power; has denounced the National Legisla
ture as unconstitutional; has persistently aud
corruptly resisted by every measure in his
power every prd|ier attempt at tbe reconstruc
tion of the States lately in rebellion ; has per
verted the public patronage into an engine of
wholesale corruption, and has been justly im
peached for high crimes and misdemeanors mid
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote
of thirty-five Senators.
Ninth. The doctrine,of Great Britain mid
other European powers that because a man is
once a
at every
of the , — r —t i
of nations and at war with our national hoiior
*and independence. Naturalized citizens are
entitled to he protected in all their rights jof
citizenship os though they were native bofn,
and uo'citizen oi the United States, whether
native or naturalized, must be liable ,10 unrest
and imprisonment by any foreign power for
acts done or words spoken in this country, and
if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of
the Government to interfere in his behalf.
Tenth. Of all who were faithful in the trials
of the late war there were ndifofeMB|d to
more special honor than the brate Midftwe and
seamen who endured the hardships of cam
paign arffl cruise, and imperilled their lives'in
the service of the country ; the bounties atod
pensions provided by laws for the bfjrew defend
ers of the nation are obligations never fo be
forgotten; the widows and orphan* of the
gallant dead are the wards of die people—-a
sacred legacy bequeathed to the nations pro
tecting care.
Eleventh. Foreign emigration, which in
past lias added so much to the wealth, devel
opment of resources and inereaieuf power to
the nation, the asylum of 4he oppressed of all
nations, should be fostered end' encoureged by
a liberal and just policy.-^
Twelfth. This Convention dedaree its eym-
patby with all the oppressed people which #re
struggling for their rights. _

We would here also give it *a our opinion
that, whilst it is tbe boonden duty of th*
great ..Democratic party to aacriflee every
personal feeling or preference to insure ana-
cess in the grand straggle which is shoot to
be waged for the salvation of the Constitu
tion and Government of these United Stalest
aa transmitted by oar forefathers to the pres
ent generation, it ia at tba asm* time incam-
bent on every member of that party to pro
tect and revere tbe fair name of the great
general wbo has proved himself, almost alone
among military men, the champion and de
fender in times of peace of civil over mili
tary power, and wbo has declared, ia his ini-
great prineiylea of American liberty are still 170 Hhds. Clear Rib Sides,

We are led to these remarks from several
notices we bave observed ot late in North*
papers, connecting General Hancock's D*
with the commission 'which tried Mra. Hl_
ratt and condemned her to death, generally
known as the trial of the conspirators. Ill*
event, now that reason baa began to MittM
bar away once more, nod tbe tbirtt for blood
has somewhat subsided, ia regarded by s
large portion of the.Nortbeni people tokivo
been little better than a judicial murder.
To forever set at real this false report that
Gen. Hancock was concerned In tbe trial
and condexu nation of Mrs. Surratt, we annei
a copy of a portion, of the apeeial order con
vening a commission for tbe trial of the con
spirators, which will furnish convincing and
undeniable proof that he (Geo. fi.) neither
was a member, nor in any way connected
with said commission. We trust the paper*
which have given currency to the unfounded
report, will be equally prompt in publishing
tbe contradiction.
It is a noticeable fact that the name of bat
one regular army officer appears among the
judges on that memorable occasion^ aa the
following will show : ,

The Tomb o* Thr Pctmam Family Desk-
crated AND THEIR SKELETONS fcjOl D.— Boston,
May 19 —One ot Ihe most revolline and de
praved robberies ever beard ot hea been dis
covered in the town of Danves. A tomb in the
old burying-ground bolding the remains ot
the Putnam family for generations pa* was
broken opon by some young men,'who stole
the silver plates from tbe coffins, sad than
broke the coffins open and stole the skeleton*
of the dead, nod then sold them to a manu
facturer of boue manure. Some 4 boy* who
were playing about the bone-yard got hold
of a human skull, and were using it for, a
football, when a man parsing discovered the
nature ot the skeleton, and farther investi
gation disclosed the above horrible facts.
Some of the thieves have been arrested, and
it is thought they will all be apprehended,
and that other robberies of the same nature
will be ferretted out.
—A little difficulty arose io the Methodist
Conference at Chicago concerning the dis
position of the colored delegatee. One of the
brethren, amid much applause, invited them
to partake of his hospitality. Ilia next
morning he stated to the Conference that It
wasn’t exactly convenient for him to keep
them longer, and they were seat to a cheap
colored boarding hoaae for tbe tamabuler of
the time. . * - “
