Bouts Democracy.—When we hear
men professing to be Democrats, abasing
Dan Vorbees and A. H. Stephens, and ex
tolling Ben - Hill and Horace Greeley, we
believe their Democracy is bogus, only
worn as a cloak to enable them to get of
fice. True Democrats may be induced to
swallow Horace Greeley as a nauseous
medicine to keep off Grant, but those
men roll him as a sweet morpel under their
tongues and swallow him as choice food.
•‘If out of the abundance of the heait
the mouth speaks” their whole heart is for
Horace Greeley.
Ot'R POSITION
And Iht Henson* why ihr Southern Propie
should support Cre.hr if hr is Nominated
by Ihr Baltimore Convention.
We repeat, what we were the first
to say and have said all along, that ti e
great danger threatening ps comes
from the Greeley Aggravators on the
one. hand and extreme Democrats on
the other. Now the plain duty oi
every man who is true to his country
is to abide bv the decision of the
Baltimore Convention. While we fa
vor a straight out Democratic ticket
and feel convinced that it is our onl\
chance of success, we will never go
with the bolters for we are not going
to bolt the decision of the Baltimore
Convention but will support heartily,
yea willingly whomsoever it giveth
us.
The nomination of Horace Greeley
by the Cincinnati Convention was art
abortion, and the reason why he was
chosen was because it was thought
that Sumner and himself would carry
the negro vote—a thing that even the
aggravators themselves are obliged to
acknowledge a fallacy, for the negroes
will go solidly with the Grantites.
Betwixt the two men, Greeley and
Grant there is very little difference—
if we survey them outside of the par
ties they now represent—and when
we view them in that light there is
more to be said in favor of Grant than
of Greeley—but as they now stand
the difference is very great. Grant
is the man chosen by the Radicals to
save their party, and they w'ere com
pelled to take him, thus he is himself,
with his fondness for military usur
pations, the representative of that
party of horrors and anarchy.
Greeley as the representative man
of the Liberal Republicans is a mis
take of the Cincinnati Convention ;
but, I’reat as that mistake may be, it
dwindles into insignificance when com
pared with the great spirit of kindness
for the Southern people manifested b\
all engaged in the workings of the
great Cincinnati Convention. In that
convention a serious sympathy foi
the Southern people was made mani
fest and with it a determination that
corrupt governing of States and the
Union shall cease.
Grant is at heart a radical, and with
him goes military usurpations, filth}
corruptio is and a continuous train ol
attendant evils.
Greeley is at heart a radical, but he
does not represent military usurpa
tlons and corruption ; he is not the
man selected to save the Liberal Re
publican party; and he will be com
pel led to stand squarely and fairly
upon the Cincinnati platform. Now
if Greeley is nominated by the Balti
more Convention we shall support
him, not because of the man himself,
but because of the great voice of the
people that will control him, and that
voice speaks volumes of sympathy
and friendship for the South—for oui
own loved people.
The Philadelphia Convention—
What'it Teaches.—The original ob
ject ol Party Conventions was to col
lect and concentrate the sentiments ul
the party, and to nominate the man
for office that would be most accepta
ble to the majority. This was not the
object of the Philadelphia Convention;
it was to nominate Gen. Grant. Th
men sent to that Convention had most
ly been bought and paid for be'ort-
they were sent, with offices, and the
promises of offices, and were compell
ed to vote, for Grant by their contract
That Convention took no pains to
convince the wise and prudent men of
the country that it was best to nomi
nate Gen. Grant. Their whole effort
seemed to be to please.the rowdies ol
Philadelphia. For this purpose the
picture of Gen. Grant on horse b ck
was exhibited, and rowdy songs wen-
sung. Gen. Grant indeed depends
greatly on the rowdies of Philadelphia
for his election. They have for sever*
al years given the election of Pennsyl
vania to the Radicals, by mean3 of the
large # number of fraudulent votes cast
in the city of Philadelphia. The man
who gets the vote Gf Pennsylvania, in
all probability, will be elected Piesi
dent, and the vote of Pennsylvania
may depend on the rowdies of Phila
delphia. The nomination of Wilson
for Vice President instead of Colfax,
we think was a blunder. Massachu
setts was sure for Giant anyhow, and
by dropping Colfax we think Indiana
wi 1 vote tor the Democratic candidate.

Convention wag n)ore j ike a c j rc()s

When we reflect upon the history
of our State for the past seven y r ears,
we shudder at the trials so recently

and a certain resolution of the Logis

experience to be guarded of our fu
ture, for the end may not be yet.
W ith some few exceptions the intel
ligence of our State has been a unity
and standing fairly and squarely up
on Democratic principles in its at
tacks upon radical corruption. The
preservation of those principles, if we
would be certain of our future, must
be maintained at all hazards; for it is
of far more importance to protect our
State than it is to elect a President.
If the Baltimore Convention nomi
nates a straight out Democratic ticket
there can be no danger to the State,
but if that Convention in its wisdom
deems it best to endorse or nominate
Horace Greeley, there will be dan
ger of a division of our people, unless
our State Convention positively de
nounces such conduct, and plants itself
fairly and squarely upon those princi
ples that have enabled us to drive oft
the evils that attempted our destruc
tion.
We do not take the position that
endorsing the Cincinnati nominees
means the disintegration of the De
mocratic party, and may heaven for
bid that disruption; but we feel con
vinced that such an attempt will be
made if there is not decided action
taken to prevent it.
As we understand it, should the
Democratic party give the Cincinnati
platform and nominees its countenance
and support, it does not mean by that
to destroy itself, so ardently longed ami
hoped for by its enemies. It simply
means to give as a party its indepen
dent power for the purpose of crush
ing out all manner of corruption; but
it will preserve itself intact and un
broken. Then if our position be cor
rect, it is the duty of our State Con
vention to so assert, and the people
will so maintain. We hope that this
Convention will frown down all inde
pendent candidates, and that it will
declare the preservation of our State
Democratic principles most essential
to the preservation of our State itself.
Look at the condition of poor, pros
trate, ruined South Carolina; ask her
people, and they will tell you that the
redemption of their State is what they
pray mr; they will tell you that all
U LI 1X71 mnitviu m v vf omull IlIVTliCui
compared to that.
With the election of Horace Gree
ley as the exponent of the Cincinnati
platform, perhaps our ideas of danger
may be a mistake, but the course ol
action indicated by us can do no harm.
On the other hand, we believe the
chances favoring Grant’s election to
5e good, and if he is elected, and ex
hibits the same recklessness that he
has heretofore shown without unity
we will be in danger, and it behooves
us to be cautious.
There are some so foolish as to be
lieve that the election of Horace Gree
ley will rejuvinate the old Whig par
ty, and while we do not condemn that
party we deprecate all such thoughf,
for it tends to a division of the intelli
gence of our State.
Then let our Convention proclaim
that we must preserve in our State
those Democratic principles that have
redeemed us.
The Duty op the Democratic Par
ty.—Is it the duty of the Democratic
party to endorse or nominate Horace
Greeley at Baltimore? Unquestiona
bly it is not. That we will follow the
Baltimore Convention is a known fact,
be it Greeley or anybody else. But if
we had the power to control its action
Horace Greeley should never be heard
of there. The Cincinnati Convention
assembled and cast its net to catch the
fishes. The Philadelphia Convention
cume next and threw a largerone ; and
in the meanwhile some devil fish in
Congress became alarmed at the Cin
cinnati netj and making a rush tore an
ugly hole in it by an amnesty passage.
Now for the Baltimore Convention
we would make a great big net—the
biggest net of all—out of the Cincin
nati and Philadetfdiia platforms, and
cast it forth, trusting its management
to Gen. W. S. Hancock, of Pennsylva
nia, and Hon.B. Gratz Brown, of Mis
souri, and catch all except t e devil
fish, for at its raising they would seek
the bottom of the sea. and might go on
to the resort of all devils for what we
care.

The Treaty Muddle.—New York,
June II.—The Herald’s Washington
dispatch says the failure of the treaty
of Washington, so far as it relates to
the Alabama claims, is at last conce

no attention to British suggestions or
propositions for a compromise beyond
what the supplemental article, ap
proved by the Senate, authorizes.
before, and it is to be hoped never will
occur again in any other office in the
State.
The writer, after giving the date and
amount of each warrant paid, and also
for what purpose given, goes on fur
ther to state that “ the only authority
in the shape of law” that he could
find for the expenditure of over ($9,-
000) nine thousand dollars for extra
clerk hire, &c., last year in the Comp
troller’s office, is the S73d and S78th
sections of Irwin’s Revised Code, con
taining certain provisions of the Wild
Land Act of 1806, which made it the
“duty” of the Comptroller General
and his regular Clerk, to make out a
complete list of the unimproved or
wild lands not given in,” and authoriz
ing the Governor, if called upon by
the Comptroller for any “ additional
assistance,” to employ “an additional,”
or one “ Clerk” for a limited time. And
also a certain resolution, passed by the
Radical Legislature in 1870. After
giving these sections of the Code and
the resolution in full, “Jefferson” goes
on to say
“Who proposed this resolution in
the Legislature is not stated in the
pamphlet acts, but any one who will
closely read it will come to the conclu
sion that it was got up for the special
bcmjit of a few wild land speculators
ami at least Allen J Bell, if no on*
else, about the Comptroller’s office.
But I venture to say that in 18G6
when the Legislature passed the 873d
and 87Sth sections of the Code, not a
half dozen members, if even one,
thought he was voting for more than
S300 or $400 extra clerk hire to hel[
the Comptroller General and his regu
!ar clerk, whose duty it w.is to make
out the complete list, &c. Many, no
doubt, thought they were not voting
anything (the section shows it) s they
supposed the Comptroller and Ins
clerk could, perform the service them
selves, free of any further cost to the
State, hence they leit the employment
of even one clerk with the Governoi.
And I verily believe that no honest
member of the Legislature, or any
other, not in the secret as to the ob
ject ol that resolution, supposed that
he was voting more titan a few hun
dred do'lars extra money to have all
the work done, as required in said
resolution. Unless, too, I am much
mistaken, (and I have had some expe
rience in the search for wild lauds, and
ocareneo uotn ine lanfl Doors ami
the Surveyor General’s and Secretary
of State’s office, as also the tax
books in the Comptroller’s office),
think there are thousands of compe
tent men in the State who would have
gladly assisted the Comptroller and
his clerk do all that was required in
tHe Code and resolution for S500 or
$000, ;.nd certainly not over SI,000
w hereas, it will be seen that they cost
the State last year $9,090—Bullock
“giving” (and Comptroller Bell ap
proving) to Allen J. Bell, the Comp
troller’s brother, $700 to buy books,
&c., when $50 or $7-5, in my judgment,
ought to have purchased all the neces
sary books, and also $0,950 for ser
vices, &c., making in all $7,650—be
sides, also employing and paying
Messrs. Fain, Estes, other clerks,
$1,440 for services ! ! ! It will be seen,
too, that the work for which Bullock
and Madison Bell paid A. J. Bell jive
thousand seven hundred dollars, including
books, &c., was not only done in a few
months after the passage of the resolu
tion, but in the very time the State was
paying A. J. Bell $150 per month for
his services as Wild Land Clerk!
By referring to the warrants, it
would seem that independent of the
$5,700 paid Mr. A. J. Bell, under the
resolution of 1870, the Comptroller,
under the S73d and S78th sections of
the Code also paid his brother, Mr. A.
J. Bell, in 1871, $1,950, besides pay
ing Messrs, Fain and Estes, (wo more
extra Clerks, $1,440—making $3,350,
for additional extra Clerk hire.
To show how very unfair and un
just to the State was this, and that it
may be further seen how near “ Jeffer
son” was right in his supposition about
extra Clerk hire under an Act of 1866,

knowledge.
Col. James A. Green, former Sur
veyor General, was in 1867 (at the
instance of Major Burns, then Comp
troller) employed by Governor Jen
kins, under these very same sections oj the
Code, to assist Comptroller Burns and
his regular Clerk, “to make out a
complete list of all the unimproved or
wild lands not given in,” &c. Upon
enquiry, then, of Col. Green, the only
“Wild Land Clerk,” who resides near
this city, in relation to this matter, the
time it took him to do the required
work, the amount he received for his
services, &c., he replies as follows :
“June 17, 1872—I was employed
in the Comptroller’s office in 1S07,
under the Wild Land Act, sections
873 and 878 of Irwin’s Revised Code,
to assist Major Burns the Comptroller,
and Mr. Adams, his regular clerk, to
do certain work, required under 6aid
act, or sections of the Code.
We commenced on the Tax^Di
gests about the first of September,
1867, working on an average of about
five hours per dav, and we finished the
“ list” or “ book” about the 24th day
of December, 1867; and I only re
ceived* ($333) three hundred and thir
ty-three doilors for my services.”

timony to the truth of the asseiti m, that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a great inauy

however, prudent, aud in every case more certaiu to

at Broadway Church, Louisville, Ky.
Louisville, Kr., Oct. 8,1869.
Dr, John Bull—Dear Bir : >1 any thanks to you
for the medicine you have t-o kindly given ine. I have
been a great sufferer tor years; an t had the advice of
various piiysiciaus. Some pi enounced my spine, some
my lungs, and some my heart to be the seat of my dis
ease. 1 have been buret, blistered and cupped until
1 bad become dishearteued. Several very eminent
physician, who examined my spine informed me that
I tvas threatened with paralysis or appoplexy any day,
aud that nothing but a seton would relieve me, I bad
a perfect horror ot that, and was hesitating about
having one inserted, when you kindly sent me your
-Sarbaparilla which I immediately begun to take three
times a day. I had suffered terribly with a most-
acute pain in the right side of my head, especially
when 1 would read or write for any length of time, aud.
on nsiug to my feel I would be periectly bliud tor
several minutes, and would nave to hold to something-
to prevent falling.
I am most happy to inform you that the pain in tny
head is entirely relieved ; I suffer but seldom with my
spine and then not bo acutely- My appetite is g >oa ;
indeed for tbe first time in tny lite I enjoy my dinner
more than any meal during the day.
You kindly sent uie fuur bottles again last nifdr.
and 1 began again this morning, and 1 lope to be eo
tireiy relieved- Please accept my heartfelt thanks and
boat «vj«4ios».
Very truly your most grateful friend,

Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on. Don't bs

Don’t risk your health by letting novices experiment

the test tor twenty five years , it is still the Sarsaparilla
ot the day, and ot the age, towering over all others iu
popularity and its cuiative qualities. Avoid al! thusa

P Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age lie
had a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, tor which I gave
your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for ten
years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever soies, and general debilt-
Pei lect succe.-s has attended it. The cures ef-
ted in some rases of scrofula and feier sores were
almost miraculous. 1 am very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is

to you for it. His wounds were terrible, hut I believe
he will recover-
