BY telegraphic dispatches from New


BY telegraphic dispatches from New
York q short time since, we were in
formed that number of prominent
Democrats from the West, including
Vallsrdighsm and Pendleton Of Ohio,
are in hat city Tor the purpose Of con-
ferring with the Democratic political
leaders e the East and adopting ba-
sis for Few platform, upon which their
party will hereafter stand, and upon
which they mean to fight the next Pres
idential campaign and it is even fur
Their limited that negro suffrage will in
all probability be one of the most prom
inent planks in the new platform.
Whether this rumor has any truthful
foundation or not is immaterial, as 1t
has already become apparent that the
rank and file of the Democracy, even at
the risk of mourning the displeasure OF
their leaders, are beginning to view ne
gro or universal suffrage in different
light from that in which they have for
merly seen it, and adherence TO which
has proved so disastrous to their party
as a political organization. Many of
the prominent journals and few of the
leaders of that party, too, are Swinging
around the circle" and arraying them
selves on the side of equality at the bal
lot-box, among the former Of which may
be classed the Chicago Times, Boston
Post and Boston Pilot.
And yet the position OF the party with
reference to this subject is most I'M
enviable one its members evidently are
puzzled to know what to do. fit ad-
heres to its old policy of opposition to
universal suffrage, future even darker
than the past few years of its history is
in store for it, as large portion OF its
present supporters will leave it and
join hands with the Republicans in pro-
claiming political equality to all, Of no
matter what race or color, who have
qualified themselves for suffrage in the
manner prescribed by law and while,
should it inscribe universal suffrage on
its banners, it would still have fair
chance to live, such an act would be an
admission that its past career has been
erroneous and false to the welfare of the
nation,-an admission which its FOSSIL
lied leaders, we believe, will shrink
from making In such case, the present
leaders of the party could no longer fill
their places as such, and new men with
more liberal ideas, would take their
places. For this reason, then, the lea.
ders generally oppose the drafting of a
new platform for the party, with uni.
versal suffrage as its principal plank
and should the party see fit to adopt
such platform, it will be Ia direct op
position to their advice and wishes.
But we live in revolutionary times
and we shall not be at all surprised Il
see the masses OF the Democratic party
cut loose from the few old fOgys WHIT
have SO long controlled its destinies, ant
90 INTO the next political campaign al
champions of equal suffrage and pc
litical rights. That they would so, wer
they sure of re. gaining the power whicl
they so long welded in national affairs
we are convinced, and that they will d
so in the hope of regaiuing such power
we believe.

EXAMINATION OF DR.. ALBERT T. WooD
His AcQUITTAL.-We noticed in yester-
days paper the arrest of DIR. Woods, COL
Ored physician, on the charge of seducing
young girl whom he had adopted as his
daughter. The examination took place yes
terday, at eleven o'clock A. NJ, before Esqs.
Mathews and Patterson.
The magistrates Office was crowded to ex-
cess by persons of every hue, the majority
Of them no doubt drawn there by a desire to
satisfy morbid anxiety to hear the disgust
ing details generally brought out in trials of
this character.
A number Of witness were examined but
no evidence was adduced to show that the
prisoner had been guilty of the ofTense
charged. On the contrary, the girl testified
that her ruin was accomplished by negro
man named Thomas, who belonged to cue of
the colored regiments stationed in this city ::
that the prisoner had at all times treated
her with great kindness, and never made any
improper proposals to her.
A number of witnesses testified to the
good character of the defendant, and official
documents were produced showing him to
be a regularly ordained minister of the
gospel.
The case was argued by Guild & Smith
for the prosecution, and by E. w. Parker
and Alexander B. Hoge of the prosecution.
After careful review of the evidence,
Esquire Mathews announced the decision of
the court to be that the prosecution had
failed to sustain the charge, and the defend
ant was therefore discharged, the prosecutor
TO pay the costs.

Capture of Seven Men Supposed 90 be
Implicated fn the Late Robbery Of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
They are Sent 90 Louisville Under
Guard.
The frequent attacks on the trains Of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, appears
10 have arousedthe citizens Of Franklin, KY,
(near which place the outrages have been
committed) to the necessity of ferreting out
the scoundrels and bringing them to justice.
Seven men have been arrested by squad
Of citizens, on suspicion of being implicated
in the late robbery, and turned over to the
officers Of the law. One Of the parties was
arrested on Tuesday, and forwarded to Louis
willie on the evening train OF the SAME day.
Six additional arrests were made yesterday,
and when the train from Louisville passed
Franklin they were held under guard in the
Telegraph Office at the station house. They
ei,e sent to Louisville last night under a
guard Of citizens and military.
We understand party Of citizens are out
after three others, whose arrest can be
counted on as a certainty.
The men arrested are said TO be citizens
living within FIVE or six miles Of Franklin, a
number of them having formerly belonged
10 the ifty-second Kentucky regiment.
It's rumored that the first clue to the vii
lains was by the murder of one of the gang
whom they feared would elbow" the whole
affair to gain the reward offered by the rail-
road company for their apprehension.
The body of the murdered man was found
in the woods a few miles from Franklin.
The assassin, and the brother Of his victim,
are said to be among the party arrested.
The citizens Of Franklin, it is said, are
confident Of bringing the entire band Of des-
peradoes to justice. They are after them,
and will not rest until the last one Of the
scoundrols Is ezptureA or driven from the
country.
We. could not ascertain, last evening, the
correct names Of all the parties under arrest,
and will, therefore, await further inf0rma-
ton before we give them 10 the public.
