Paymrnl ol Nnuilurru Awards Ri-layrd
Washington, Sept. 12.-Congress
passed a bill authorizing tlie Secre
tary of the Treasury to pay the
awards of the Southern Claims Com
mission, but by some technicality
these awards require the signature
of the Secretary of War, who will be
absent some six weeks. A delega
tion went to Harrisburg to persuade
Secretary Cameron to order his chief
clerk, which he is authorized by law
to do, to sign these warrants but he
refused. The awards aggregate half
inilliou, in sums from SSO to several
thousand dollars, and are due to
some eight hundred people, distribu
ted through eleveu Southern States.
The representatives of the people
to whom this money is due, consider
the delay of the Secretary of War in
performing a more formal function
as ungenerous.

Belgrade, Sept. 12.—Official dis
patches say there was severe light
ing Sunday and Monday between
Belgrade and Alexinatz iu conso
queuee of the Turks attempting to
throw a bridgo across the Masova.
They were unsuccessful. This move
ment indicates the Turks despair of
taking Alexinatz by direct attack
and are seeking to get to the rear of
its fortified.lines. The Servian gar
rison at Alexinatz numbers only
6,400 men, but the Turks need the
place as a base of operation against,
Deligrudo and for the preservation of
their communication with Nioeh.
Horvutovieh, with 12,000 men, has
returned from Gramada, and joined
Tehernayeff at Deligrade. Yesterday
they gained the Turkish rear south
of Dyuuis, when a combined attack
was made on the Turks by the two
Generals. Fighting ceased at night
fall, without u decided result, and
was renewed to-day. No luter ad
vices received.
Nothing is known here respecting
peace negotiations. The popular
feeling still favors a continuance of
the war in preference to accepting
humiliating terras.

(Sen. Joseph I!. Johnston.
The Richmond correspondent of
the Petersburg Pont says that among
the prominent guests at the White
Sulphur Springs last week was Gen
eral Johnston. The matter of filling
the vacancy caused by the death of
General Richardson was discussed
among a number of prominent ex-
Confederate officers at the White
Sulphur, Monday, and General
Johnston was asked if he would
accept the place if tendered to
him. He replied, “Yes, I will
cheerfully accept that or any other
position in Virginia thatwill pay me
salarv of two thousand dollars a
year.” The General is anxious to
get hack to his native State again,
and if he should be chosen to fill this
vacancy, no better selection could lie
made. Asa military man Johnston
stands at the top of the ladder in the
country. Virginia’s volunteer mili
tary would be under his management
and would compare favorably with
any other State in the Union.

New York, Sept. 12.—A special dis
patch from General Terry’s camp, on
the Yellowstone, near GlondivoySop
tember sth, via. Bismarck, D. T. 11th,
says: General Terry this morning
isued an order dissolving his opera
ting column. General Gibbon, with
the Montana troops leaves in .the
morning for Port Ellis. Major Bono,
with the 7th Cavalry, and Major
Moore’s battalion of the 6th Infantry
will patroi the north bank of
tlie Yellowstone, in order to prevent
any band of hostile Sioux that may
be retreating before Gen. Crook
crossing the river. Col. Otis, with
the Twenty-second Infantry, will rrs

body in camp is delighted, as it has
been evident for a long time that we
were not likely to accomplish much
by remaining in the field.
Special Despatch to the World by Hawser.
TWIII CAMPEADOB.
TUK TRUK INWARDNESS OF THE ARREST—A
CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE THRONE.
Bilbao, September B.—A person giving
the name of Don Twid Autelmc was ar
rested by a detachment of the Gnardia
Civil at a posada in the Province of pon
tevedra on Tuesday, and lias been taken
to the fortress at Vigo under a close gaurd.
The motive for seizure is not officially
disclosed, tint it is rumored that cipher
despatches concealed about his person ex
pose a plot for tlie overthrow of the throne
in favor of the pretender, Don Carlos.
Tlie dispatches amount iu hulk of several
bushels. There is also a large gallery of
photographs among them, which revealed
to tlie astonished gaze of tlie police the
faces of male children solely. One of the
dispatches not in cipher is dated from an
obscure place, not on the maps, called Del-
Monico, in America, ami exhibits these
words to me, who have beheld it:
“Twid, vigo, Espana."
Cuidado con el ojo. Todo aruioado por
Cushing y pescado. C. A. D.
1 read and fiy to the .Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Don Luis Hurtado. I tell him my
suspicion, which is already yours. He re
gards me with attention, and opens to me
his bosom.
“Tlie man Twid," lie says, "is an Ameri
cano once of immense wealth and sice, the
master of the fine estates of Blacquelilands.
As he grew to manhood a passion arose iu
his soul to possesss the children of other
men. In the city of Pennsylvania there
lived a tribe known as Cliallarossi —indus-
trious, wealthy, fecund. Against this
tribe, not out of hatred for his kind, but
out of loveforllieircbildren.be conspired.
Upon the devoted community he swooped,
and one by one bore away their children
to his estates. Upon them he lavished his
immense wealth. He carpeted his ancestral
halls with acres of Gobelins. He spared
no expense for plaster. The journals of
the day teemed with the accounts of Bis
magnificence-in champagne supplements
But the wrath of the Pennsylvanians led
by one Tilden drove him from his home
and made it a desert. He fled. When he
came to our shores is not known. The
peasants of Pontevedra first discovered
him in the spring of this year. After the
severe winter he was found occupying a
cave in themountains, long since deserted,
whither lie was in the habit of enticing
die little children of tlie Pontevedrans,
whom he amused with picture-books in a
strange tongue. One of these books is
preserved. It begins:
"In Adam’s fnll
We sinned all."
It is obviously a heretical work com
posed by Oliver Cromwell. It was early
in tlie present month that the Guardia
Civil became cognizant of his hiding
place. Messages were intercepted hear
ing date of New York. Among these
strange dispatches was the one above
quoted, and also others, showing beyond
doubt that the eccentric hermit was deep
ly involved in a conspiracy to overthrow
the throne and establish the pretender,
Don Carlos.
“Intelligence was received by the Gov
ernment that a secret meeting was held
on tlie night of August 81 in the obscure
hamlet called Del Monico, America, at
which were present Don Carlos, tlie
Marquis Velasco, the Marquis Ponce de
I,con, the Viscount Montserrat; tlie great
Cuban leader, Carlos A. Dana; a celebrated
pirate named John Devlin, a Turk called
Azamat Batuk and others. At this con
ference final plans were perfected for tlie
accomplishment of the movement. Don
Dana was to be Captain-General of
Cuba.”
Here tlie iiawser gave way. The ex
citement in the city is intense, Don
Dana and Azamat Batuk have taken
refuge in Castle Garden.

TllF DFMOntATIC PLATFORM.
We. tho delegates of tho Democratic party of
tho Uultod State* iu National Convention assem
bled, do hereby declare the administration of
the Federal Government to be iu urgent need of
immediate Reform; do hereby enjoin upon tho
nominees of this Convention, aud of tho Demo
cratic party iu each State, a zealous effort and
co-operation to this end; aud do hereby appeal to
our fellow-citizens of every former political
connection, to undertake with us this first aud
most pressing prtrloticduty.
For the Democracy of the whole country, we
do here reaffirm our faith in the permanoneo of
the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitu
tion of the United States with its amendments
universally accepted as a final settlement of tho
controversies that engendered civil war, and do
here record our steadfast confidence in the per
petuity of Republican Self-Government.
In absolute acquiescence in tho will of tho ma
jority—the vital principle of the republic; in the
supremacy of the civil over tho military authority;
in tho total separation of Church aud State, for
the sake alike of civil aud religious freedom;
in the equality of all citizous before Just laws of
their own enactment; in the liberty of individ
ual conduct, uuvexed by sumptuary laws; in the
faithful education Of the rising generation, that
they may preserve, enjoy, and trausmit 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 great Charter ot these
our rights, it behooves a free people to practise
also that eternal vigilance which is tho price of
Liberty.
Reform is necessary to rebuild and establish
Lbo hearts of the whole people, the Union,
eleven years ago happily rescued from the
danger of a Secession of States; but now to be
saved from a corrupt Centralism wuich, after
indicting upon ten {States the rapacity of carpet
bag tyrannies, has honeycombed the offices of
the Federal Government itself with incapacity,
waste and fraud; iufected States and municipal
ities with the contagion of misrule, aud locked
fast the prosperity of an industriuus people in
the paralysis of ‘Hard Times.*
Reform is necessary to establish a sound cur
rency, restore the public credit, and maintain
the uational honor.
We denounce the failure for all these eleven
years of peace to make good the promise of the
legal-tender notes, which art* a changing stand
ard of value iu tho hands of the people, and tlie
non-payment of which is a disregard of the
plighted faith of the nation.
Wo denounce tho improvidence which in
eleven years of peace has taken from the people
in Federal taxes thirteen times the whole amount
ol the legal-tender notes and squandered four
times their sum in useless expense without ac
cumulating any reserve for their redemption.
Wo denounce the financial imbecility and im
morality of that party which, during eleven
years of peace, has made no advance toward
resumption, no preparation for resumption, but
instead has obstructed resumption, by wasting
our resources and exhausting all our surplus
income.and. while annually professing to iu
tend a speedy return to specie payments, has
annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto. As
such a hindrance wo denounce the Resumption
day clause of the act of 1875 aud demand its re
peal.
We demand a judicious system of preparation
by public economies, by official retrenchments,
aud by wise iiuauce, which shall enable the
nation soon to assure the whole world of its
perfect ability aud its perfect readiness to meet
any of its promises at tho call of the creditor en
titled to payment.
Wo believe such a system, well devised, and,
above all, eutrutsod to competent hands foi
execution, creating at no time an artificial scar
city of currency and at no time alarming the
public mind into a withdrawal of that vaster
machinery of credit by which 96 per cent, of all
business transactions are performed,—a system
open, public, aud inspiring general confidence,
would from the day ot fts adoption bring healing
on its wings to all our harrassod industries, set
iu motion the wheels of commeroo, manufac
tures, ami the mechanic arts, restore employ
ment to labor, and renew in all its natural
sources the prosperity of the people.
Kkfoum is necessary in tho sum and modes of
Federal Taxation, to the end that capital may
be set free from distrust, aud labor lightly bur
dened.
We denounce the present Tariff, levied upon
nearly 4,000 articles, as a masterpiece of injus
tice, iu equality, aud false pretense. It yields a
dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It lias
impoverished many industries to subsidize a
few. It prohibits imports that might purchase
th products of American labor. It has degraded
American commerce from the first to an inferior
rank on the high seas. It lias cut down the
sales of American manufactures at home aud
abroad, aud depleted the returns of American
agriculture—an industry followed by half our
people. It costs the people five times more
than it produces to tho treasury, obstructs the
processes ot production, aud wastes the fruits of
labor. It promotes fraud, fosters smuggling,
enriches dishonest officials, andbanrupts honest
merchants. Wo demand that all the Custom-
House taxation shall be only for Revenue.
Reform is necessary, in the scale of Public
Expense—Federal, State aud Municipal. Our
Federal taxatiou lias swolou from 60 millions
gold, iu 1860, to 450 millions currency, iu 1870;
our aggregate taxatiou from 154 millions gold in
1860, to 730 millions currency iu 1870; or in one de
cado, from less than $5 per head to more than
$lB por head. Hinco the peace, the peoplo liave
paid to their tax gatherers more than thrice the
sum of tho national debt, and more than twice
that sum for the Federal Government alone. We
demand a religious frugality in every depart
ment, and from every officer of the Government.
Reform is necessary to put a stop to the
profligate waste of public lands and their diver
sion from actual settlers by the party in power,
which has squandered 200 millions of acres upon
railroads alone, and out of more thau thrice that
aggregate has disposed of less than a sixth direct
ly to tillers of the soil.
Reform is necessary to correct the omissions
of a Republican Congress and the 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 citizenship, and liave exposed our
brethren of the Pacific coast to the incursions of
a race not sprung from the same great parent
stock, and iu fact now by law denied citizenship
through naturalizationfas being neither accus
tomed to the traditions of a progressive civiliza
tion nor exercised in liberty under equal laws.
We denounce the policy which thus discards the
liberty-loving German aud tolerates the revival
of the coolie trade in Mongolian women import
ed for immoral purposes, and Mongolian men
hired to perform servile labor contracts.
Reform is necessary and can never be effected 4
but by making it the controlling issue of the”
elections, and lifting it above the two false issues
with which the office-bolding class and the party
iu power seek to smother it—
1. The false issue with which they would en
kindle sectarian strife in respect to tlie public
schools, of which the establishment and support
belong exclusively to the several State*, and
which the Democratic party has cherished from
their foundation, and is resolved to maintain
without prejudice or preierence for any class,
sect or creed, and without largesses from tho
Treasury to any.
2. The false issue by which they seek to light
anew tho dying embers of sectional hate between
kiudred people once estranged, but now re
united in one Indivisible republic and a common
destiny.
Rf.fobm is necessary in the Civil Hervice. Ex
perience proves that efficient, economical con
duct of the governmental business 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 brief reward of party zeal, instead of posts of
honor assigned for proved competency, and held
for fidelity in the public employ; that the dis
pensing ofpatrouage should neither be a tax up
on the time of our public men, nor the instru
ment of their ambition. Hero again promises
falsified in the performance, attest that the party
in power can work out no practical or salutary
reform.
Reform is necessary even more in the higher
grades of tho public service. President, Vice-
President, .Judges, Senators, Representatives,
Cabinet officers, these and all others in authority
are the people’s servants. Theiroffic.es are not
a private perquisite; they are a public trust.
When tho annals of this Republic show the dis
grace and censure of a Vice-President; a late
.Speaker of the House of Representatives market
ing his rulings as a presiding officer; three Sen
ators profiting secretly by their votes as law-ma
kers; live chairmen of the leading committees of
tho House of Representatives exposed in Jobbery;
a late Secretary of the Treasury forcing balances
in the public accounts: a late Attorney-General
misappropriating public funds; a Secretary of
the Navy enriched or enriching friends, by per
centages levied off the profits of contractors with
his department; an Embassador to England cen
sured iu a dishonorable speculation; the Presi
dent’s Private Secretary barely escaping convic
tion upon trial for guilty complicity iu frauds
upon the revenue; a Secretary of War impeached
'or high crimes and misdemeanors—the demon
stration is complete, that the first step in Re
form must be the people's choice of honest mea
from another party, lest the disease of one po
litical organization infect the body politic, and
Jest by making no change of men or parties we
get no change of measures and no real Roform,
All these abuses, wrongs and crimes, the pro
duct of sixteen years’ ascendancy of the Republi
can party, create a necessity for Reform confess
ed by Republicans themselves; but their reform
ers are voted down in convention and displaced
from the Cabinet. The party’s mass of honest
voters is powerless to resist the 80,000 office
holders, its leaders and guides.
Reform can only be had by a peaceful Civil
Revolution. We demand a change of system, a
change of administration, a change of parties,
that we may have a change of measures and of
men.
