0 Death of an old Citizen of Bartow.
Mr. Joseph Boglo, of Cassville, for
forty-three years a resident of that
village, died yesterday morning of a
complication of diseases. He was
74 years of age, and was one of the
oldest citizens of our country. Thus
one by one the patriots of the land
depart. Mr. Bogle was a good citi
zen and there are many who deplore
his departure. Peace to his ashes.
PLATFORM.
We, the delegates of the Democrat
ic party of the United States in
National Convention assembled, do
hereby declare the administration of
immediate reform, and do hereby en
join upon the nominees of this con
vention and of the Democratic party
in each State, a zealous effort and co
operation to this end, and do hereby
appeal to our fellow-citizens of every
former political connection to under
take with us thisfirst and most press
ing patriotic duty.
For the Democracy of the whole
country we do here reaffirm our faith
in the permanence of the Federal
Union, our devotion to the Constitu
tion of the United States, with its
a mend men s universally accepted as
a final settlement of the controversies
engendered civil war.
We do here record our steadfast
confidence in the perpetuity of re
publican self-government; in abso
lute acquiescence in the will of the
majority, the vital principle of Re
publics; in the supremacy of the civil
over the military authority; in the
total separation of Church and State
for the sake ‘alike of civil and relig
ious freedom ; in the equality of all
citizens before just laws of their own
enactment; in the liberty of indi
ual conduct unvexed by sumtuary
laws; in the faithful education of the
rising gonvrAtion, that they Hilly
preserve, enjoy and transmit these
conditions of human happiness and
hope, we behold the noblest products
of a hundred years of changeful his
tory, hut while upholding the bond
of our Union and great charter of
these our rights, it behooves a free
people to practice also that eternal
vigilance which is the price of liber
ty.
Reform is necessary to rebuild and
establish in the hearts of the whole
people the Union, eleven years ago
happily rescued from the danger of
a corrupt, centralism, which, after
indicting upon ten States the repaci
ty of carpet-bag tyranny, has honey
combed the offices of the Federal
Government itself with incapacity
waste and fraud, infected States and
municipalities with the contagion of
misrule and locked'fast the prosperi
ty of an industrious people in the
paralysis of hard times. Reform is
necessary to establish a sound cur
rency. restore the public credit and
maintain the national honor.
We denounce the la.ilure for all
these eleven years + o make good the
promise of the legal tender notes
which are. a changing standard of
value in the hands of the people and
the non-payment of which is apledge
of the plighted faith of the nation.
We denounce the improvidence
which in eleven years of peace, has
taken from the people in Federal
taxes thirteen times the whole
amount of the legal tender notes,and
squandered four times this sum in
useless expense, without accumula
ting any reserve for their redemp
tion.
We denounce the financial im
becility and immorality of that party
which during eleven years of peace,
lias made no advance towards re
sumption, no preparation for resump
tion, hut instead has obstructed re
sumption by wasting our resources
and exhausting all our surplus in
come, and while annually professing
to intend a speedy return to specie
payments, nub a.,.Riuu i j v.nt.-i.
hindrance thereto.
We denounce the resumption clause
of the act of 1875, and we demand its
repeal. We demand a judicious sys
tem of preparation by public econo
mies by official retrenchments and
by wise finance, which shall enable
the nation soon to assure the whole
world ofits perfect ability and its
perfect readiness to meet.jany“ofj its
promises at the call of the creditors
entitled to payment.
We believe such a system well de
vised, and above all, entrusted to
competent hands for its execution,
creating at no timean artificial scarci
ty of currency, and at no time alarm
ing the public mind into a with
drawal of that vaster machinery of
credit by which 95 per cent (if all
business transactions are perform
ed.
A system open to the public and
inspiring general confidence, it would
from the day of its adoption bring
healing on its wings toall our har
rowed industries, set in motion the
wheels of commerce, manufactures,
and the mechanical arts, restore em
ployment to labor and renew in all
its national source the prosperity of
the people.
Reform is necessary in the sum
and mode of Federal taxation to the
end that capital may be set free
from distrust and labor lightly bur
dened.
We denounce the present tank lev
ied upon nearly four thousand arti
cles as a master-piece of injustice, in
equality and false pretense. It yields
a dwindling, not a rising revenue.
It has impoverished many indus
tries to subsidize a few. It prohibits
imports that might purchase the pro
duets of American labor. It ha" de
graded American commerce from
the first to an inferior rank upon the |
high seas. It has cut down the sales |
of American manufactures at home j
and abroad and depleted the returns I
of American agriculture and industry
followed by 'half our \ topic. It costs
the people five times more than it
|.r.Tr:Vi-sri- tn Tire- TrraSJiy, mrSi rrtOtS '
the process of production, and wastes
the fruit of labor. It promotes fraud
fosters, smuggling, enriches dishon
est official *nu<J bankrupts hoqest
merchants,
We demand that all custom house
taxation shall be only for revenue.
Reform is necessary in the scale of
public expense, Federal State and
municipal. Our Federal taxation
lias swollen from sixty millions
gold In 1800 to four hundred and
fifty millions currency in 1870, and
our aggregate taxation from one
hundred and fifty-four millions gold
in 1860 to seven hundred and thirty
mi'lions currency in 1870, or in one
decade from less than $5 per head to
more than §lB per head. Since peace
the people have paid their tax-gath
erers more than thrice the sum of
the National debt and more than
twice that sum for the Federal Gov
ernment alone.
We demand a vigorous frugality
in every department, and from
every officer oi’the Government.
Reform is necessary to put a stop
to the profligate waste of public lands
and their diveision from actual set
tlers by the party in power, which
sqandered 200,000,000 of acres upon
rail roads alone, and out of more than
thrice that aggregate has disposed of
less than a six directly to tillers of
the soil.
•Reform is necessary to correct the
omissions of a Republican Congress
and errors of our treaties and our
diplomacy, which have stripped our
fellow-citizens of foreign birth and
kindred race recrossing the Atlantic
of the shield of American cirizen-
J ship and have exposed our brethren
of the Pacific coast to the incursions
j out race not sprung from the same
parent stock, and in fact now by law
denied citizenship. Though natu
ralization, is being neither accus
tomed to the traditions of a progres
sive civilization nor exercised in lib
erty under equal laws, we denounce
the policy, which thus discards the
liberty-loving German and tolerates
the renewal of the Coolie, the trade
in Mongolian women imported for
immotral purposes, and Mongolian
men held to perform servile labor
contracts, and we demand such
modification of the treaty with the
Chinese Empire, or such legislation
by Congress, within constitutional
limits, as shall prevent further im
portation or immigration of the
Mongolian race.
Reform is necessary and can never
he effected but by making it the con
trolling issue of the elections and
lifting it above the two false issues
with which the office-holding class
and party in power seek to smother
it. The false issue with which they
could enkindle sectarian strife in res
pect to the public schools, of which
the establishment and support be
long exclusively to the several States
and which the Democratic party
has cherished from their foundation
and is resolved to maintain without
partiality or creed, and without con
tributing from the Treasury to any
false issue by which they seek to
anew the dying embers of sectional
hut© between kindred people once
unnaturally estranged, hut now re
united in one indivisible republic
and a common destiny.
Reform is necessary in the civil
service. Experience proves that an
efficient and economical conduct of
the governmental business is not pos
sible if its civil service he subject to
change at every election, and be a
prize fought for at the ballot-box, he
a brief reward of party zeal instead
of posts of honor assigned for proved
competency and held for fidelity in
the public employ); that the dispens
ing of patronage should neither he a
tax upon the time of all our public
men, iiur the instrument of their am
bition. Here again professions falsi
fied in the performance attest that the
party in power can work out no prac
tical or salutary reform.
Reform is necessary even more in
the higher grades of public service.
The President, Vice-President, Judg
es, Senators, Representatives, Cabi
net officers—these and all others in
authority are the people’s servants;
their offices are not a pre requisite,
they are a public trust. When the
annals of the public records show the
disgrace and censure of a Vice-Presi
dent, a late Speaker of the
House of Representatives, is mar
keting his rulings as a presiding offi
cer; three Senators profiting secretly
by their votes as law-makers; five
chairmen of leading committees of
the late House of Representatives
exposed in jobbery; a late Secretary
of the Treasury for forcing a balance
in the public accounts; a late Attor
ney General misappropriating public
funds; a Secretary of the Navy en
riched or enriching friends by per
centages levied off the profits of con
tractors with his Department; an
Embassador to England censured in
a dishonorable speculation ; the Pres
ident’s private secretary barely es
caping conviction upon trial for
guilty complicity in frauds upon the
revenue; a Secretary of War im
peached for high crimes and eon-
The demonstration is complete
that the first step in reform must be
the people’s choice of honest men
from another party, leit the disease
of one political organization infest
the body politic, and lest, by mak
ing no change of men or party, we
’can get no change of measures and
reform. All these abuses, wrongs
and crimes, the product of sixteen
years ascendancy of the Republican
party, create a necessity for reform,
confessed by Republicans themselves,
but their reformers are voted down
in convention and displaced from the
Cabinet. The party’s mass of honest
voters is powerles to resist thp eighty
thousand officeholders. Its leaders
and guides can only be held, by a
peaceful civic revolution.
We demand a change of the sys.
tern, a change of the administration,
a change ot parties, that we may
have a change of members and of
men.
Mr. Dorsheimer I will say that at
the end of the resolution relating to
the matter ol Mongolian importation
there were two or throe lines of lan
guage adopted by the Committee
which were written with a lead pen
cil and which I was unable to read,
and the Secretary, when l have clos
ed, will supply the omission.
Mr. Brown, of Oregon.—We want
it read now, Mr. President. lam on
that Committee myself, and I de
mand that it shall be read in con
junction with the other. [Cries of
no, no.]
Mr. Dorsheimer—Your committee
have had also referred to them and
recommend the adoption of the fol
lowing resolutions:
.Resolved, That this convention,
representing the Democracy of the
United Slates, do cordially indorse
the action of the present House of
Representatives [applause] in redue- j
ing and curtailing the expenses of 1
the Federal Government, in cutting
down salaries, extravagant appro- i
piiations, and in abcfibUing useless
offices gj.d pi aces not required bv ,
i n*■;; *in -.-ilk-, pud we shall trust
to the firmness of the Democratic
members of the House, that no com
mittee nor conference misinterpreta
tion of the rules will be allowed to
defeat the wholesome measures of
economy demanded by the country.
[Applause.]
Resolved, That the sailors and sol
diers of the Republic, and the wid
ows and orphans of those who have
fallen in battle, have a just claim
upon the care, protection and grati
tude of their fellow-citizens. [Ap
plause.]
Gov. Dorsheimer—The resolution
closes as follows: We denounce the
policy which thus discards liberty
loving Germans and tolerates a re
vival of the Cooley trade in Mongo
lian women imported for immoral
purposes and Mongolian men to hold
servile labor contracts, and we de
mand such a modification of the
treaty with the Chinese empir or
such legislation within constitutional
limitations as shall prevent further
importation or immigration of Mon
! golians, [Applause.]
Gen. Ewing, of Onio—At the re
quest of several members of the
I Committee on Resolutions, I present
a minority report as to one phrase of
the platform.
Hersehel V. Johnson received not
| only the praise of Glascock and the
endorsement of Calhoun, but time
and again the confidence of his fellow
citizens. He has n ?ver forfeited h[s
j right to the praise, the endorsement,
or the confidence. The lawyer and
the statesmen are gone, but "the peo
ple are here to renew that confi
dence, and make him once more the
Governor of Georgia. —Chronicle and
i Sentinel,
CAIITERSYILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 1576.
Johnson Pungents.
Hon H V. Johnson’s strength lies
in the warm affections of the people
of Georgia, and you'd as well try to
demolish Gibraltar’s rock with a
broom straw, as to try to hurt the old
man in the eyes of the people.—
Waynesboro ’ Expositor.
The correspondence removes all
doubt as to his acceptance of the
nomination, and despite the partizan
efforts of newspapers and individuals
to injnre the authors of the circular
and the fair fame of Governor John
son, we believe that the people of
Georgia will on the second of next of
August in convention spontaneously
and unanimously nominate him for
Governoi, and elect him without op
position.—lrwinton Southerner.
For State as well as National offices
the best and truest men should be
chosen. Hersehel V. Johnson has
often been tried in the balance and
never found wanting. Whenever
his State has demanded his services
they have been cheerfully and readi
ly given—and always with honor to
her and credit to himself. Let her
again command them now, as her
Governor, and she will never regret
the new trust thus placed in her
honored son.— Chronicle and Sentinel.
Gov. Johnson’s reply is character
istic of the man, and while he dis
tinctly states that he does not want
the office apd will not consent to be
come a candidate for it, he intimates
that, as a Georgian he is ready to do
any patriotic work the people may
require of him. This is all the peo
p e want, and in our opinion, it will
bean easy matter for them to decide
when they meet in convention on
the second of August, who they pre
fer for their next Governor. Candi
dates for the position had better be
prepared for disappointment.—Quit
man Reporter.
The Democratic Party.— Hon,
Hersehel V. Johnson, some years
ago, said : “The Democratic party
of Georgia is no sectional organization
formed merely to obtain power by
the concealment of principles on the
one hand and on the other by pre
senting issues to the country which
have been settled. It is an integral
part of the National Democracy.
* * * * It standssolmnly pledged
to maintain the rights of the States
and the integrity of the Union.”
Words of truth and wisdom—as
true and wise to day spoken
by Georgia’s honored son.— Chronicle
and Sentinel.
A Flower that Changes its Color.
Botany is a division of natural sci
ence which treats of plants, and a
study of Vegetable Phisiology must
be the foundation of botanical
knowledge—a study only possible by
the improvements in the microscope
and in organic chemistry. As plants
are not scattered haphazard over the
earth, botanical geography must be
studied,and, with this, plant-history.
Botany may be applied to the wants
of every-day life, as in Agriculture
Horticulture, or Medical Botany,
Animals often exhibit a marvelous
instinct in selecting medicinal herbs,
and an observation of their habits
lias often even in the present time,
led to most valuable discoveries.
And should man, with his knowl
edge and appliances, fail to discover
iess than the orute? It is of Medi
cal Botany we wouw >* ~r
HEPATINE PLANT, discovered in
Southern Nubia, the flower of which
changes its color with every change
of tne atmosphere. The remarkable
changes and variations of this Plant
and Flower have been for years our
special study, resulting in the discov
ery of its possession of wonderful
medical properties, the existence and
value of which have heretofore been
entirely unknown to medical science.
After much labor and scientific inves
tigation, we have succeeded in ex
tracting its peculiar medicinal prin
ciples, which is a specific and cure for
all diseases of the Liver, Stomach,
and Bowels; a permanent cure for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Spleen, Con
stipation, Jaundice, and all Bilious
Complaints. Of course we cannot
send a living Flower of this Plant to
all vi ho read of Hepatine; but to all
who will send their address to Mor
rell & Coudon, Philadelphia, Pa.,
with a three cent stamp for return
postage, we will send free a fae-simi
le of the Flower, that will change its
color just the same as the real Hepa
tine Flower.

eludes National. State tic* l .S c ! uu A y e ec T

active and hotly of any since the
memorable canvass of * s now 1 airly

successful struggle for the maintenance and

to the prosperity of the uublic, and essential
to the weli-be-’ng of the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect new

promises to be unusnflOly vigorous, and there

will elect a Democratic State Government. In
these campaigns the people are deeply inter

the welfare ol his country and liis section at
heart, should acquaint himself with every de
tail of redemption and leform that is now going
on.
To this end he should subscribe to and a-sist
in circulating the Savannah Morning News,
an independent Democratic newspaper, of
pronounced opinions and tearless in their ex
pression; a paper that is recognized every
where as the best daily in the South. Its edi
torial department is vigorous, thoughtful and
consistent, while its news and local depart
ments are marvels of industry and complete
ness. Its department of Georgia and Florida
affairs is not conlined to a mere barren sum
mary of events transpiring in those States, but
is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely
and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment
will be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of
the w orld, through the press dispatches, spe
cial dispatches, special correspondence; and
through these agencies, the paper will be the
earliest, chronicler of every noteworthy inci
dent of the political campaign of 1876.
