“Military interference with elec
tions, ‘unless.it shall be necessary to
keeD the peace at the polls,’ is pro
hibited by law, aud no soldier will
be allowed to appear at any polling
place, unless as citizens of the State
they are registered as voters, and
then only for the purpose of voting.”
—General Hancock's Order, No. 213,
New Orleans, La., December Is,1867.
There is something commendable
in the vigor with which a Columbus,
Ohio, church defended its cchitribu-
tion box recently. During ser rice a
a tinful worshiper attempted to
steal away with the collections, but
the entire congregation, beaded by
the pastor, sexton and organists,gave
chase, and made the streets of Ohio’s
capital lively with the pursuit until
the sacrilegious thief was ruu do-.vu.
As To the elec’.iou in November,
the 138 electoral votes of the South
may be counted as absolu’ely certain
for Hancock and Euglish. The
votes of New York, Indiana and
New Jersey may be said to be as sure.
This swells the total vote up to 197
or 13'mare than the requisite vote to
elect, without considering Pennsyl
vania, Comecticnt, California and
Oregon, all of which may be classed
' in the doubtful column with the
probabilities strongly in favor of
the Democracy
The Memphis (Tenu.) Appeal
states that from various poiuts along
the river south pi that city come re
ports of scarcity of labor, and high
prices for that which can be secured.
In some instances planters are paying
as much as one dollar and fifty cents
per day, with rations, for plantation
hands, and yet eannot get enough to
“keep out of the grass.” On the Ar
kansas river there is said to be a large
acreage of cotton that has seen neith
er plow nor hoe since it was planted.
While the area of cotton has been
largely increased over last year, that
of corn has been cut down.
Tfcc No mutation at C'iueiuaaii.
The National Democratic Conven
tion, whicii met at Gincin' ati on the
22d,closed its work on Thursday last
by the nomination on the second
ballot of W.S.Hancock,of Pennsylva
nia for the Presidency,and William H.
English, of Indiana, by acclamation
for the Vice Presidency. The party
has reason to congratulate itse'f ou
the result. While ihe tickets mit
forth at Chicago a few w
could have been defeated
any one of the distinguished gentle
men mentioned in connection with
the Democratic nomination, with
Hancock as a leader success is be
yond a possible doubt, if the party
shall do its full- duty between this
and November. The enthusiasm
which the ticket has already inspir
ed among Democrats is something
marvellous, while the Republicans
seem lost as to how they shall pro
ceed to campaign against it. Site fol
lowing is a brief sketch of the nomi
nee :
General Winfield Jnnccck,
of Pennsylvania, waEmorn in Mont
gomery county, Pennsylvania, Efr'o-
vu.-.ry, 4th, 1824 f graduated at #^t
Point in 1844; served in the Mexi
can and Seminole wars; became
Brigadier General in September,
1801; distinguished himself at Wil
liamsburg, South Mountain and An-
tietam, also at Fredericksburg and
Ghancellorsville as commander of a
Division ; became commander of the
Second Corps June, 1803; was se
verely wounded at Gettysburg aud
highly distingu’shed in Wilderness
campaign. In command at Wash
ington in 18G5, now commander of
Eastern Department, with headquar
ters at New York. A staunch Demo
crat, prominent in 187G for the Sl
Louis nomination ; is the favorite in
Pennsylvania and popular in the
South. Hon. William II, English,the
man selected for the second place,
was born in Scott county, Indiana,
August 27th, 1822, and after receiv
ing a college education, embarked in
the practice of law, which has con
tinued with much success. lie has
been Speaker of the Indiana Legisla
ture, was a member of Congress in
in 1853 and Gl, and is personally
friendly and acceptable to Govs. Hen
dricks and Han ison. Indiana may
be set down once more certain for
the right party in the coming con
test.
Garfield la Credit Mobilier.
Below is a condensed history of
General Garfield’s connection with
the Credit Mobilier ring, aud the
opinions of the leading. Republican
papers at that time on his guilt. It
presents' the Republican standard-
bearer in a very pitiable plight. That
be took a false oath is proven by his
own testimony and the finding of the
committee as well as by the able
ce which Judge Black wrote for
which now eonstitues the
ouiyT>l«l which his friends make for
him. That he wilfully perjured
himself the following extracts from
the official records will show, unless
somebody can prove that they are
false or forged :
From his Own Sworn Testimony
before the Poland Committee Jan.
14,1873:
I never owned, received, or agreed
to r- ceive any* 5‘ock of the Credit
Mobilier or of the Union Pacific
Railroad, nor any dividends or profits
arising from either of them.
From Judge Poland’s Report, Feb.
18. 1373:
The facts in regard to Mr. Gar
field, as lountFby tiie committee, are
that he agreed with .Mr. Ames to
take ten shares of Credit Mobilier
stock, but did not pay for the same.
Mr. Ames received the eighty per
cent, dividend in bond3 aud sold
them for ninety-seven per cent., and
also received the sixty per cent cash
dividend, which, together with the
price of the stock anil interest, left a
balanceof 8329. This Eum was paid
over to Mr. Garfield by a check on
the sergeant-at-aixns, and Mr. Gar
field then understood this snip was
the balance of dividends after paying
for the stock.
What would those who lived be
fore the age of telegraphy have
thought of this ? Tie result of the
second ballot which nominated Gen.
Hancock at Cincinnati was trans
mitted all over the country before
being announced in Music Hall.—
The moment the State of Wisconsin
was called an expert employed for
the pnrpo# gave the operators the
additions; this was transmitted all
over the country aud the reply came
back from New York, “The figures
are posted aud the crowd cheering.”
This dispatch was in the hands of
the reporters in the Hall, ten miu-
ules before the tellers hud finished
addition and the cheer on its an
nouncement was given in Music
Ha l. By the quiet work of the Tel
egraphers, the crowd in New York
knew the exact result some time be
fore those did who stood in Music
Hall waiting for the tellers of the
Convention to announce the result.
It has been suggested that after
the Democratic Gubernatorial Con
vention has completed its business,it
should resolve itself into an Immi
gration Convention, and that the
primaries constitute delegates to that
body delegates to both. It is believed
that important facts will come before
such a body, and that State action is
imperative-to secure great results to
Georg : a. This is a matter which
our county convention should care
fully consider aud take such action
in the premises as the importance of
the subject demands.
Gen. Hancock is taller than Da
vid Davis but don’t weigh so much
by several hundred pounds.
A Wonderful Clock.
The South Church, Boston, is said
to have offered 845,000 for the won
derful Detroit clock, which shows the
local time in hours, minutes and sec
onds, aud the time of thirteen cities
of the world, among which are
Washington, San Francisco, Mel-
burue, l’ekin, Cairo, Constantinople,
S . Petersburg, London, Berlin and
Paris. It a so denotes the move
ments of the planets anu measures
their movements by seasons, years
and cycles for two hunderd years, in
cluding leap years. A music box
plays when Death strikes each hour.
At the same moment the figure of
Washington, seated in a chair be
neath a canopy, rises to his feet,
holding the Declaration oi Indepen
dence in his right hand. A liveried
servant also rises aud opens a door,
through which come all the Presi
dents of the United States, who
march in review before the eiligv of
Washington, saluting him as they
pass. The procession disappears
through a door on the opposite side
ot the platform, which is opened and
closed by aservant in gorgeous livery.
The likeness of these figures, includ
ing that of President Hayes, who is
in the year, are said to be excellent.
As soon as the door ia closed, the fig
ure of Washington resumes its chair
x>f states, and all is quiet until the
hammer of death again sounds the
hour ou the gong, when the extraor
dinary scene is repeated. The qttar-
terbonrs are struck by an infant, the
half hours by a youth, and the three
quarters by a man.
From the New York Times, Feb.
19, 1S73:
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield pres
ent a most distressing figure. Their
participation in the Credit Mobilier
affair is complicated by the mo3t un
fortunate contradictions of testimo
ny.
From the New York Times, Feb.
20, 1873:
The character of the Credit Mo
bilier was no secret The source of
its profits was very well known at
the time congressmen bought it.
Though Oaks Ames may liavt
succeeded in concealing Ins own mo
tive, which was to bribe congress
men, their acceptance of the stock
was not on that account innocent.
The dishonor of the act, as a partici
pation in an obivious Iracd, still
remains.
Some of them have indulged in
testimony with reference to the mat
ter which has been contradicted.
The coinmi’tee distinctly rejects the
testimony of several of the members.
This can only bo done on the ground
that it is untrue. Jiut untrue testimo
ny given under oath is morally, if not
legally, perjury.
It is the clear duty of Congress
to visit with punishment all who
took Credit Mobilier stock from
Oakes Ames.
From the New York Tribune, Feb.
19. 1873 :
James A. Garfi.ld of Ohio-had ten
shares; never paid a dollar; received
itlgo. wrhioh, after tile ml V eSI igRtlOIl
began, he was anxious to have con
sidered as a loan from Mr. Oakes
Arnes to himself.
Well, the wickedness-of all of it is
that these tnen betrayec the trust of
tiie people, deceived their constitu
ents, and by evasions aud falsehoods
confessed the transaction to be dis
graceful.
From the New York Tribune, Feb.
2G, 1S73 :
Mr. Ames establishes very clearly
the point that he was not alone
tliis offence. If he is to be expelled
for bribery, the men who were bribed
should go wit i. him.
T o Great iteptiblic.
Lundun Telegraph.
In a short time the tenth census ot
what lias for a long time been a
mighty people will b taken, and we
risk little in saying that in Joseph
Hr.mt’s phrase, “the tot tie ol the
whole” will show a population of at
lefts t. fifty millions, especially if the
emigrants, who are now pouring into
.the United States in vast numbers
are not omitted from the calculation.
In other words the population of
1779 multiplied by twentyj. aud were
it likely that the satire ratio of in
crease could be maintained another
century, the mind of man would
sink before rite effort of imagining
what it is possible for the monster re
public to be Ir 1930. II iwevt-r bound
less tiie resources of the North
American continent my be, it can
hardly ho expected that the second
century of the United Slates will he
celebrated by a thousand million hu
man beings, and yet eucIi would be
the result of multiplying fifty mil
lions by twenty. Anyhow it is cer
tain that a century hence no such
assemblage of men speaking the
same language and amenable to the
same general traditions of feeling,
habit and education, will ever have
been gatherd together upon earth as
will then probably occupy the great
Western Lionel near.
Chester A. Arthur.
Of Chester A. Arthur, the Repub
lican nominee for vice President, the
New York Sun has this notice:
At the time of Arthur’s sust er.sion
as Collector of Customs in this city
on January, 31,1879, Hayes wrote to
him :
“You have made the Custom Hoise
a centre of patisau political manage
ment.
“With a deep sense of my obliga
tions under the Constitution, I le
gat'd it as my plain duty to suspetd
you, in order that the office may le
honestly administered.”
To emphasize this suspension, aid
to blacken Arthur’s record still mod,
J hn Sin rniita, on the same day, alu
wrote to him as follows:
“Gross abuses of udruinistrati®
have continued aud increased duiitg
your incumbency.
“Persons have been regularly pai!
by you who have rendered little <r
no service; the expenses of your 6-
fice have been increased, while it
receipts have diminished. Bribes, <r
gratuities in the shape of bribes, hav
been received by your subbordinats
in several branches of the Gustos
House, aud you have in no case su -
ported the “effort to correct thee
abuses.”
The Platform Adopted by the Demo
cratic National Convention at Cincin
nati, June 22.
The Democrats of the United
States, in convention assembled, de
clare :
First—We pledge ourselves anew
to the constitutional doctrines and
traditions of the Democratic party
as illustrated by- the teaching and
example of a long line of Democratic
statesmen and patriots, and embodi
ed in the platform of the last Na
tional Convention of the party.
Second—Opposition to centralism
and to that dangerous spirit of en
croachment which tends to consoli
date the powers of all departments in
.ne, and thus create, whatever be
the form of government, a real des
potism. No sumptuary laws. Sep
aration of church and State for the
o-ood of tach. Common school los
tered and protected.
Third—Home rule, honest money,
strict maintenance of public faith,
consisting of gold and silver and pa
per convertible into coin on demand.
A strict maintenance of public faith,
State and National, and tariff for
revenue ouly.
Fourth—Subordination of milita
ry to civil power and general and
thorough reform of civil service.
Fifth—The right to lree ballot is
a right preservative of all rights, and
must and shall he maintained in eve
ry part of the United States.
Sixth—The existing administra
tion is a representative of conspiracy
only and its claim of right to sur
round ballot boxes with troops and
deputy marshals to intimidate and
obstruct elections and the unprece
dented use of the veto power to
maintain its corrupt auu despotic
power, insult the people aud imperils
iheir institutions.
Seventh—the great fraud of 1876-
77, by which, upon a false count of
the electoral votes of two States, the
candidate defeated at the polls was
declared to be President, and for the
first time in American history the
will of the people was set aside un
der the threat of military violence,
struck a deadly blow at our system
of representative government. The
Democratic party, to preserve the
country front civil war, submitted
for the time, in firm and patriotic
faith that the people would punish
tiiis crime in 1SS0. This’ issue pre
cedes and dwarfs every other. It im
poses a more sacred duty upon the
people of the Union than ever ad
dressed the conscience of a nation oi
lree tnen.
Eighth—We exercrate the course
of this administration in making
places in civil service a reward fof
political ciime, and demand reform
by statue, which snail make it f
ever impossible for a defeated candi
date to bribe his way to the s at of
usurper by billeting vtlltaus upon
the people.
[This was read again, in response
to demands, and was received with
applause,]
Ninth—The reso ution of Samuel
J. Tilden not again to be a candidate
for the exalted place to which he
was elected by a majority of his
court try men, and'from which lie was
excluded by the Raders of the Re
publican party, is received by Dem
ocrats of the United States with si-n-
sibilo-j,-aml they declare their confi
dence in his wisdom, patriot ism and
integrity unshaken by the assaults i f
the common enemy ; and they
further assure b'.m that he is follow
ed into the retirernei t he has chosen
for himself-by the sympathy and re
spect of his itllow citizens,-Who re
gal'd him as one wiio, by elevating
tlie standards of public morality ami
adorning and purifying the public
service, merits the 1..sting gratitude
of Ins country aud his p rtv.
Tenth—Free ships and a living
for American Commerce in the seas
and on the land. No discrimination
in favor of transportation lines, cor
porations or monopolies.
Eleven h—An amendments of the
Burlingham treaty: No more Chi
nese immigration, except for travel,
education and foreign commerce,and
therein carefully guarded.
Twelfth — I’ublic money, public
credit fur public purposes solely, and
public land lor actual settlers.
Thirteenth—The Democratic par
ty is a friend of labor and of the la
boring man, and pledges itself to pro
tect him alike against cormorants
and commune.
Fourteenth—We congratulate the
country upon the honesty and thrift
of the Democratic Congress, which
has reduced the public expenditures
of 840,000,000 a year; upon the con
tinuation of prosperity at home and
national honor abroad, and above ail
upon promise of such a change in
the administration of the Govern
ment as shall insure us genuine and
lasting reform in every department
of the public service.
Daniel Dougherty’s Speech.
ICIncinaati Correspondence Philadelphia Times.!
“Pennsylvania” was the call. “Mr.
President,” said Chairman Hay, who
took no stock in the Hancock move
ment and who little suspected the
hubobub that was to be raised in his
behalf. “Mr. Chairman, Pennsylva
nia has no candidate to present for
the Presidency, but a deligate wishes
to advocate the claim of one of her
distinguished sons.” There was a
murmur of admiration as Dougherty
rose-anil stepped briskly to the front
with' the air of a man who has to
perform an agreeable duty, for t e
discharge of which lie feels quite
equal. The vast audience saw at.
once that this was a man worth hear
ing, aud it held its breath and lis
tened. The first sentence revealed
the symathies of the audience which
laid bare the candidate of the speak
er’s choice. At the mention of Han
cock’s name there .rose a mighty
shout. Heretofore the noise had
been confined to certain parts of the
house and the applause for candi
dates hud come mainly from their
own respective sections, but now
one-half ol the convention seemed to
rise to its feet. Hundreds on the
platform lent their voices to the tu
mult and the galleries began a great
roar of delight. Don herty stood
with head erect, his face al-,
teruately paling and flushing, while
his lips qui ered with tiie burn
ing words that he was eagir to utter
Witt could not until the enthusiasm
of .his audience had somewhat spent
itself. Then he went on, hut only to
stop again and again as the people,
ia admiration of his finished oratory
and insyinpa:hy wi.h the sentiments
that iie voiced, persisted in yelling
their approval. Everybody was sur
prised at the sudden evolution of the
Hancock fervor, hut everybody felt
like joining-in it. Dougherty’s speech
in full was as follows:
I propose to present to the thought
ful cousideration of the convention
tire name of one who, oa the field of
battle was styled “The Superb”
(cheers), yet won the still nobler re-
nowu as a miilitary governor whose
first act, when in command of Louis
iana and Texas, was to salute the
constitution by proclaiming that the
military rule shall ever he subserv
ient to the civil power. [Dheers]
The plighted word of a soldier was
proved by the act ol a statesman. I
nominate one whose name will sup
press all factions [cbeersj, will Ire
alike acceptable to the North and to
the South—a name that will thrill
the republic, a name, if nominated,
of a man that will crush the last em
bers of sectional strife, and whose
name - will he hailed as the dawning
of the day of perpetual brotherhood.
With him we can fling away our
shields and wage an aggressive war.
We can appeal to the supreme tribu
nal of the American people against
the corruption of the republican par
ty and their untold violations of
constitutional liberty. With him as
■ ur chieftain the bloody banner of
the republicans will fall front their
palsied grasp. Oh, my countrymen,
i i this supreme moment the destin
ies of the republic are at stake and
t le liberties of the people are im
periled. The people hang breathless
ou your deliberation. Take heed 1
Make no mis-step! I nominate one
Vh > can carry ev ryiSoDthern StAte,"
and who can carry Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey
and New York—the soldier-states-
mari, with a record as stainless as his
sword—Winfield Scott Hancock, ol
Pennsylvania. If nominated, he will
take his seat.

Resolved, That we arraign and
denounce James A. Garfield for lit-
corrupt connection with the
(Jredit Mobilier, for his false denials
thereof before his constituents, for
his perjured dental thereof before a
committee of his peers in Congress,
lor fraud upon his conEtiuerits in
circulating among them a pamphlet
purporting to set forth the finding of
said committee aud the evidence
against him, when in fact material
portions thereof were omitted and
garbled.
Resolved, That we further arraign
and charge him with corrupt bribery
in selling his official influence as
chairman of the Committee on Ap
propriations for 85,000 to the De Gul-
yer pavement ring to aid them in
securing a contract from the Board
of Public Works of the District of
Columbia, selling his influence to
the said ring in impo-ing upon the
people of said District a pavement
which is almost worthless at a price
three time3 its cost, as sworn to by
one of the contractors; selling his
influence to aid said ring in securing
a contract, procure which it corrupt
ly spent 897,000 “for influence ;” selI-
