To the Readers of the Hews. To some, our paper of this week may seem dull and monotonous. We have deemed it our duty to give the political matter furnish ed in this issue, to the public, as early as we possibly could. The same may be said of the report of “ Commencement.” A large portion of our subscribers arc interested both directly and indirectly in the school here, and a good many former residents, now in other sections, take our paper for the sake of the “home news,” hence, in justice to all these we have thought it our duty to make as full a report as could be done under the circum stances. THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. Unlike the Republican platform adopted at Cincinnati, the platform adopted by the Dem ocrats at St. Louis, commends itself to the admiration and endorsement of all liberty loving people everywhere, be they Democrats or Republicans, bßiek or white. The Convention was faithful to the trust reposed, and properly conceived its duty and the needs of the hour ; hence, the first plank in the platform, as well as those that follow it, rests on the solid basis of reform. This is right. Reform is, and should be, the watch word of the party and the people. It is sadly needed in all the various matters mentioned in the platform. Oppression and tyranny, enforced by the bayonet, is of too late an oc currence to be forgotten by the people of Geor gia, Arkansas and Louisiana. We have received too little that was wise, good, or beneficent from the laws passed by the Federal Government, or their enforce ment, since Lee's surrender, to not feel and know that reform in that particular is needed. We are to-day suffering from the effects of an unsound, unstable currency, which makes the rich (the bondholder) richer, and the poor poorer, and from the terrible drain made on us from day to day to meet the demands of the tax-gatherer—while we sec and know that our National debt is not diminished thereby —on the question of finance, then, we need and ask reform. The result of the system of tariff in force at present is, that we pay much higher for articles manufactured and grown at home than the same class of articles manufactured and grown abroad would cost. We thereby protect a class who are able to live without it, and oppress the consumer, who is illy able to bear it. The tariff is a legal fraud, and the system should be reformed. The system of fostering rich and powerful corporations by granting them aid—giving to them vast territories of land, to the exclusion of the actual settler, is wrong in principle, unwise in practice, and sadly needs reform ing. '1 hat system of Civil Service which makes political opinions the test, instead of honesty, competency and ability in the appointment of men to office, is radically wrong, and should and ought to be reformed. God grant that the day may come, and that right speedily, when the questions asked an applicant for office will not be: How did you stand in the election ? What did you do to promote my interests ? With what party do you vote ? and when party partizans will not be the only ones who stand in the line of promotion ; when the object and aim of the appointing power will be to have the offices well and faithfully filled, regardless of the fact that the occupant acted or sympathized with this or that party, and when the dishonest office holder who uses his office for the promotion of his own ends will be dealt with as strictly when appointed by one party as when ap pointed by another. In fine, when the primal test shall be ability, honesty, competency and faithfulness to trust. This Democratic platform promises us re form in all these things, and in fact in all things connected with the laws—the policy of the administration and the actual workings of the Government, and the party has for its standard bearers those who are well known reformers and honest men. Will not the peo ple—the bone and sinew of the country rally to these standard bearers, on this plat form ? The platform is all we could ask, and Tilden and Hendricks must stand on it, and, if elected, carry out its principles, or be faith less to themselves and their past history. They are well known reformers, and, if elect ed, will not go back on the principles enunci ated by the party. Let us, therefore, rally to them. Let us make one long pull, strong pull, and pull altogether for these men and this platform—having for our watchword, “ Reform.” It is reported that the intrinsic value of chicken feathers thrown awa} r every vear in the United States is equal to the money we pay for cotton. The plume of the feathers, if separated from the stems, forms a down which, it is stated, sells in Paris for nearl}* two dollars a pound. DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. We. the delegates of the Democratic party of the United States in National Convention assembled, do hereby declare the adminis tration of the Federal Government to be in urgent need of immediate reform, and do j hereby enjoin upon the nominees of this Convention and of the Democratic party in each State, a zealous effort and co-operation to this end, and do hereby appeal to our fel low citizens of every former political connec tion to undertake with us the first and most pressing patriotic duty for the Democracy of the whole country. We do here reaffirm our faith in the per manency of the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitution of the United States, with its amendments universally accepted, as a final settlement of the controversies that engendered civil war, and do hereby record our steadfast confidence in the per petuity of Republican self government. In the absolute acquiescence in the will of the majority—the vital principle of the republic ; in the supremacy of the civil over the military authority ; in the total separa tion of Church and State, for the sake alike of civil and religious freedom ; in the equal ity of all citizens before just laws oftheirown enactment; in the liberty of individual con duct unvexed by sumptuary laws; in the faithful education of the rising generation, that they may preserve, enjoy and transmit these best conditions of human happiness and hope, we behold the noblest products of a hundred years of changeful history ; but while upholding the bond of our Union and the great character of these, our rights, it behooves a free people to practice also that eternal vigilance which is the price ofliberty. Reform is necessary to rebuild and estab lish in the hearts of the whole people the Union eleven years ago happily rescued from the danger of a corrupt centralism, which, after inflicting upon ten States the rapacity of carpet bag tyrannies, has honeycomed 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 prosperity of an industrious people in the paralysis of hard times. Reform is necessary to establish a sound currency, restore the public credit and main tain the national honor. We denounce the failure for all these eleven years to 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 a disregard 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 notes and squan dered four times this sum in useless expen ses without accumulating any reserve for their redemption. We denounce the financial imbecility and immorality of that party which during eleven 3*ears of peace, lias made no advance toward resumption, but instead, has obstructed re sumption by wasting our resources and ex hausting all our surplus income, and while annually professing to intend a speedy re turn to specie payment, has annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto, and as such a hin drance we denounce the resumption clause of the act of 1875, and we here demand its repeal. We demand a judicious system of prepara tion by public economies, by official retrench ments and by wise finance, which shall enable the nation to assure the whole world of its perfect ability and its perfect readiness to meet any of its promises, at the call of the creditor entitled to payment. We believe such a system well devised and above all entrusted to competent bands for execution, creating at no time an artificial scarcity of currency and at no time alarming the public mind into a withdrawal of that vaster ma chinery of credit, by which ninety-five per cent, of all business transactions are per formed, a system open to the public and in spiring general confidence, would, from the day of its adoption, bring healing on its wing to all our barrassed industries and set in motion the wheels of commerce, manufac tures and the mechanical arts, restore em ployment to labor and renew, in all its natu ral sources, the prosperity of the people. Reform is necessary in the sum and mode of Federal taxation, to the end that capital be set free from distrust and labor lightly burdened. We denounce the present tariff, levied up on nearly four thousand articles as a master piece of injustice, inequality and false pre tence. It yields a dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue; it has impoverished many industries to subsidize a few ; it prohibits imports that might purchase the products of American labor; it has degraded American commerce from the first to an inferior rank upon the high seas; it has cut down the scales of American manufactures at home and abroad and depleted the returns of American ngriculture, an industry followed by half our people; it costs the people five times more than it produces to the Treas ury, it obstructs the processes of production and wastes the fruits of labor ; it promotes fraud, and fosters smuggling ; enriches dis honest officials and bankrupts honest mer chants. We demand that all custom-house taxation shall be only for revenue. Reform is necessary in the scale of public expeuse, Federal, State and municipal. Our Federal taxation lias swollen from sixty mil lions in gold, in 1860, to four hundred and fifty millions in currency, in 1870, and onr aggregate taxation from one hundred and eighty four millions in gold, in 1860, to sev en hundred and thirty millions in currency, in 1870, or in one decade from less than five dollars per head, to more than eighteen dol lars per head. Since the peace, the people have paid to their tax gatherers more than thrice the sum of the National debt, and more than twice that sum for the Federal Govern ment alone. We demand a vigorous frugal ity in every department, from every officer of the Government. Reform is necessary to put a stop to the profligate waste of public lands and their di version from actual settlers, by the party in power, which has squandered two hundred millions of acres upon railroads alone, and out of more than thrice that aggregate, dis posed of less than a sixth directly to tillers of the soil. Reform is necessary to correct the omis sions of the Republican Congress and errors of our treaties and our diplomacy, which have stripped our fellow citizens of foreign birth and kindred race, reerossing the At lantic, of the shield of American citizenship, and have exposed our brethren of the Pacific coast to the incursions of a race not sprung from the same great parent stock, and, in fact, now by law denied citizenship through naturalization, as being neither accustomed the traditions of a progressive civilization, nor exercised in liberty under equal laws. Wc denounce the policy which thus discards the liberty-loving German and tolerates the revival of the coolie trade in Mongolian wo men imported for immoral purposes and Mongolian men, hired to perform servile labor contracts, and demand such modifica tion of the treaty with the Chinese Empire, or such legislation by Congress, within a constitutional limitation as shall prevent the further importation or immigration of the Mongolian race. Reform is necessary, and can never be ef fected but by making it the controlling issue of the elections, lifting it above the false is sues with which the office holding class and the party in power to smother it and the false issue with which they would enkindle the sectarian strife in respect to the public schools, of which the establishment and sup port belong exclusively to the several States, and which the Democratic party has cher ished from their foundation and resolved to maintain without partiality of preference for any class, sect or creed and without contrib uting from the Treasury to any; the false is sue by which they seek to light anew the dying embers of sectional hate between kin dred peoples, once unnaturally estranged, but now reunited in one indivisible republic and a common destin)\ Reform is necessary in the civil service. Experienc proves that an efficient, and eco nomical conduct of the governmental busi ness is not possible, if its civil service be subject to change at every election; be a prize fought for at the ballot-box, be a briefre ward of party zeal instead of posts of honor assigned for proved competency and held for fidelity in the public employ; that the dispensing of patronage should neither be a tax upon the time of all our ambition. Here again the professions, falsified in the perform ance, attest that the party in power can work out no practical or salutary reform. Reform is necessary, even more in the higher grades of public service. The Presi dent, Vice President, Judges, Senators, Rep resentatives, Cabinet officers—these and all others in authority are the people’s servants. Their offices are not a private perquisite. They are a public trust. When the annals of this republic show the disgrace and cen sure of a Vice President, a late Speaker of the House of Representatives marketing his rulings as presiding officer ; three Senators profiting secretty by their votes as law ma kers ; five chairmen of the leading commit tees of the late House of Representatives ex posed in jobber}'; a late Secretary of the Treasury forcing balances in the public ac counts ;of a late Attorney-General misap propriating public funds ; a Secretary of the Navy enriched, or enriching friends by the percentages levied upon the profits of con tractors with his department; an embassador to England censured in a dishonorable spec ulation ; the President’s private secretary barely escaping conviction on trial of guilty complicity in frauds in the revenue ; a Sec retary of War impeached for high crimes and confessed misdemeanors, the demonstration is complete that the first step in reform must be the people’s choice of honest men from another party, lest the disease of one politi cal organization infect the body politic and thereby making no change of men or party we can get no change of measures and no reforuij All these abuses, wrongs and crimes are the product of sixteen years ascendancy of the Republicans themselves, but their re formers are voted down in convention and displaced from the cabinet. The mass of honest votes is powerless to resist the 80,000 office holders—its leaders and guides. Re form can only be had by a peaceful civil rev olution. We demand a change of system— a change of administration—a change of par ties, that we may have a change of measures and of men. The reading was frequently interrupted b} r applause. The denunciation of the resump tion act and demand for its repeal was re ceived with special favor. At the conclusion. Mr. Dorsheimer said the committee had adopted and endorsed—though not as a part of the platform—a resolution, which he read, endorsing the action of the House of Repre sentatives in cutting down appropriations. Also, a resolution as to the just claims of the soldiers and sailors and widows and orphans. The Battle of Olustee, or Ocean Pond. In his great work, “ The War Between the States,” Hon. Alexander H. Stephens thus refers to Gen. Colquitt: “ The prospect upon the close of the year 1863, in a military point of view, was gloomier for the Confederates than it had been at the close of any that had preceded it. This heavy gloom, however, did not rest upon their hori zon long. The beginning of operations in the fourth year soon changed the aspect of affairs in this particular, and gave great encourage ment to the Confederates. This year was ushered in, even in its dawn, by the splendid victory at Ocean Pond, Florida, on the 20th of February, achieved under the lead of Brig adier-General Alfred H. Colquitt, against General Truman Seymour, commanding the Federals. With less than 5.000 men, Col quitt put Seymour to route with more than 6,000 men, killing, wounding, capturing 2,500 men, and taking three Napoleon guns, two 2- poundcr Parrots, and 3,000 stand of arms.” Vol. 11., p. 581. It will be remembered, adds the Chronicle <$- Sentinel, that in commenting on this pas. sage some critic claimed the honor of this victory for Gen. Finegan, whereupon Mr. Stephens showed indisputably that while that gallant officer was in command of the general o o military operations on the Confederate side in Florida at that time, he had assigned the entire command of all the Confederate forces engaged in the action at Ocean Pond to Gen. Colquitt, with but one limitation, namely: “If hard pressed, fall back to the works at Olustee Station.” That the gallant Georgian was hard pressed, is well known, buthisonty message to Gen. Finegan was: “Send me ammunition.” The ammunition was forward ed and the victory was won. A young lady named Annie Wells, com mitted suicide at Dalton, by shooting her self, last week. ATTENTION! The Democrats of Jackson county will meet in Convention at Jefferson, on Saturday, the 15th day of July, to select delegates to rep resent them in the Gubernatorial Convention, to be held in Atlanta on the 2d day of Au gust next. It is hoped that all the people who feel an interest in who shall be Governor, will attend this meeting, and see to it that the delegates represent their wishes. Let us have a rousing meeting. W. I. PIKE, Chairman Ex. Cum. Juclsoa County. Our Next Vice-President. SKETCH OF THE LIFE AND PUBLIC SERVICES OF THOMAS ANDREWS HENDRICKS. In a sketch of Governor Hendricks, the New York World informs us that he was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, September 7, 1819. His father removed to Shelby coun ty, Indiana, when the subject of this sketch was only three years old. The fact that he was born in a neighboring state has not af fected his popularity in Indiana, since many of the people are of the same stock, and Mr. Hendricks, growing up from childhood with the younger commonwealth, became identi fied with all its interests —its prosperity and prejudices. No man in the state is now more generally loved, and certainly no one is less hated. His youth was not a season of hard ship and he received a liberal education, graduating at Hanover college in .1841. lie then studied law at Chambersburg, Pa., and was admitted to the bar at that place in 1843. He returned to Indiana immediately after and entered upon the practice of his profession. His success was rapid and well earned. There was always a charm about him that won him hosts of friends. He was pure in morals, and not merely upright in character, but solicitous to preserve himself from even the appearance of evil. He was careful in money matters and slowly accu mulated his present moderate fortune, al though his practice was often interrupted by political service and his expenses increased to meet the social requirements of his official station. At the bar he was distinguished for learning, subtlety and eloquence. His tem perament is such that at times he flings aside his habitual courtesy and caution and gives free rein to his aggressive impulses. He was ever on such occasions a dangerous op ponent. In 1848 Mr. Hendricks was chosen a member of the state legislature, and in 1850 he served in the state constitutional conven tion. During the next fivt6 years he repre sented the Indianapolis district in Congress, and for four years after was commissioner of the land office. He was defeated in 1860 by 11. S. Lane, for Governor. Lane was elected United States Senator and O. P. Morton suc ceeded him in the Governorship. In 1862, Indiana elected a Democratic Legislature by which Hendricks was selected as U. S. Sen ator. He was compelled to act with a small minority but made a national reputation. His opinions were maintained boldly and frankly. He opposed overturning the old State governments, the imposition of test oaths, the civil rights bill, the freedman’s bureau bill and kindred legislation. He shaped his political conduct upon the theory that the prosperity of the white people of the South, even though they had been rebels, was a matter of more importance than the prosperity of the negroes. If either race was to go to the wall he thought it should be the black race, but he held that in the natural supremacy of the white race was a guarantee for the safety of all. Exalting the freedmen into a governing class and disfranchising their masters he held to be as evil a system as slavery. In the National Democratic Convention of 1868 at one time, he lead all the candidates, receiving the solid vote of New York and the northwest. His term of Senator expiring in 1869 he resumed the practice of law at Indianapolis. He barely acquiesced in the Greeley faction. Against his earnest protest, he was nomina ted for Governor by the Indiana Democrats and after a bitter canvass, by his personal popularity, he was elected by a majority of 1,128. Ilis course on the money question has been wise and politic. He believes in the Democratic doctrine of hard money. He helped Allen in Ohio because he desired the triumph of his party. He presided over the Democratic Convention held in July at In dianapolis, and in his address on taking the chair urged that gold and silver were the true basis of our currency and that the true method of returning to specie payments was through the growing up process—the devel opment of the resources of the South, the in crease of production and the retrenchment of public and private expenditures. He is thus described : Governor Hendricks is a man of medium height and symmetrical form. He is erect, active and vigorous. His face is manly and handsome. The features are large and ex pressive, and while there is a soft, good-hu mored expression in the large blue eye and in the mouth and dimpled chin, the brow, forehead and full heavy jaw show wisdom and resolution. His complexion is florid, and his hair and side whiskers are yet un touched with gray. He looks like one who has lived a happy life, encountered no great sorrows and yielded to no great vices. Though he has for years been taught to regard the Prestdency as within his grasp, his ambition has been rather a sort of rational longing for the honor than an insatiable thirst for power. His disposition is as sunny as his complex ion, and in society lie is a great favorite. To acquaintances he is affable and easy, to close friends warm and lovable, to political par tisans courteous, but cautious. He would rather conciliate an enemy than oblige an ally. His habits are such that he found $5,000 a year ample for his expenditures du ring his senatorial term at Washington. His voice is a rather thin tenor, and has nothing imposing in its tones, but is audible to a great distance when he speaks with earnest ness. He appears to the best advantage be fore a crowd, for then he kindles with the ex citement of the occasion, and an interruption or a jest from some dissenting auditor is all that is necessary to make him forget his ha bitual deliberative cast of thought, and fling himself into dashing and aggressive argu ment. „ He is to be the next Vice President of the United States.

Mr. Editor :—Dear Sir: —Will you be so kind as to allow me space in your paper this week for the publication of this brief letter, concerning the most extraordinary cure that Dr. Greenwade, of Jefferson, has performed on me. I was taken some months ago with Dropsy, being swelled from my feet to my face, as the people of Jefferson all know, as they saw me when I appeared for treat ment at Dr. Greenwade's office. The cure seems to me to be miraculous, because I never thought so complete a case of Dropsy could be cured, es pecially one being in such bad health as I have been in for the past several years. I thought proper that the public should know this, as there are so many dropsical people in the county, and as Dr. Greenwade is having most ex cellent success in the treatment of all old chronic diseases. I know of a great many that he has and is curing all over the country. I think the Dr. a most excellent gentleman as well as a most ex cellent physician. I will say further that the Dr. used no strong medicine in curing me. lam now able to labor in the field. Yours, most truly, Jos. W. McEntire. Jackson County.

Morning News, SAVANNAH, GA. ttttttttTHE tttt POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1876, -L which includes National, State and county elections, and which will undoubtedly be the most active and hotly contested of any since the mem orable canvass of 1860. is now fairly opened. The National Democratic Party will this year make a hold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those principles which are vital to the prosperity" of the Republic and essential to the well-being of the people. In addition to the Presidential election, the peo ple in Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments. In Florida the campaign promises to be unusually vigorous, and there is a proba bility that for the first time since the war the peo ple of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Dem ocratic State government. Tn these campaigns the people of the South are deeply interested; and every intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of his country and his section at heart, should ac quaint himself with ever}" detail of the great work of redemption and reform that is now going on. To this end he should subscribe to and assist in circulating the SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pronounced opinions and fearless in their ex pression ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best daily in the South. Its editorial de partment is vigorous, thoughtful, and consistent, while its news and local departments are marvels of industry and completeness. Its department of Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a mere barren summary 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 Mews with the latest intelligence from all parts of the world, through the press dispatches, special tele grams, and by means of special correspondence; and through these agencies the paper will be the earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident of the political campaign of 1876.

In hot weather this Powder makes butter much firmer and sweeter than it usually is, and keepsit from turning rancid. It also removes the strong flavor of turnips, garlic, weeds, cornstalks, cotton seed, etc.; and the increased yield of butter much more than pays the trifling expense of using it, 35 cents per package.
