The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1867-08-01

A CANDIDATE.-The Republican last
week spoke of COL T. Sumner as a candi-
date for County Clerk, and thinks if he
will consent to run, he will be nominated
and if SO, elected. "as he will show up the
extravaganza and corruption of the pres
ent incumbent in such way that every
honest x-payer who has to work for his
money cannot fail to be disguised"
Bless your soul, old man, the "honest
taxpayers" who "work for their money
are becoming "disgusted" already with
the extravaganza and corruption" of the
party with whom the Col. votes and for
whom he works. 1t is cool, though, yea
quite refreshing, this hot weather, to have
a radical paper howl about extravaganza
and corruption" in Democratic officials
AS to the election of Col Sumner, or any
other radical in this county, that is all
bosh, CANNON, the merest twaddle, and
the expression of belief that the thing is
possible, is intended to operate on the
weaklings Of the radical party.

Slaeridan'S Removal.

1t is reported from Washington upon
good authority, that the President has
fully made up his mind to remove Gen.
Sheridan, the military commander of Dis
trict No. 5. The President has put UP
with the insubordination of this under
strapper much longer than he should have
done, but the country will rejoice, even
at this late day, if President johnson kicks
the impudent cur to one side and appoints
an honest, faithful, upright man in his
place. The Presidential office should moi
be longer disgraced by the retention Of
Sheridan as a District commander. We
sincerely trust that the report of his re-
moval Will be speedily followed with an
order for his immediate displacement.

Corruption Funds for the south.

There has been no doubt for some
months past, that the radicals are engaged
in desperate effort to carry the elections
in nearly all of the Southern States, and to
secure their electoral votes in the next pres
idential campaign. Means utterly dis
graceful have been res orted to by mem
bers of Congress, Governors of States, and
other State officers, AMI by the District
military commanders in the Southern
States This may seem to be a grave
charge but We are prepared to prove it
true. Thomas ". Conway recently made
a report to the Congressional committee"
of the Republican party, showing what he
had done in the way Of organizing Union
Leagues in the South From that report
We give the following extracts:
Sin my visit to Virginia l met General
Schofeld and General Brown, the one
commanding the district and the other in
charge of the freedman's bureau. On
learning my business in the South, and
after perusine my letter of instruction,
Gen Schofeld said Il thank God you
have come with so good work to inaugu-
rate, and | wish you the greatest success.
We wat to see the Union men of Virgin
ia fully and thoroughly organized and
YOUR plans are the best [ have seen or
heard of. | will give you every proper
assistance in ny power"
Gen. Brown made similar remarks
All his officers whom met while in the
State were actively engaged in some way
in aiding the work Of loyal reconstruction
In North Carolina had the pleasure of
meeting ex-Gov. Holden, Hon. Mr.. Tay-
lor, formerly of the State Legislature Col.
Foster, collector of the port of Whining
ton; Gen. Mckee, Gen. Rutherford, and
others, who are distinguished for their de-
vOtion to the cause Of the Union in that
State, AL of whom bore the strongest test
imony to the value of the league. They
represented it as already so far organized
in the State that the loyal cause could not
be otherwise than victorious.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CoNVEY-
TON. -

A Madison dispatch to the Chicago
Journal says: The Democratic Conven.
ton rushed through business With great
rapidity, nominating a ticket adopting
platform and adjourping before supper.
Some of the delegate not reaching here
till all was over. A, few talk sanguinely
of electing tie ticket, but majority feel
that there is no hope, and there was great
shrinking from responsibility in accepting
places on the ticket, ~necessitating active
work in its behalf. Several candidates
IN danger Of a nomination peremptorily
refused to run, and others were fairly
forced into taking places on the ticket. -
Resolutions were drawn with much care
by one of the editors of The Milwaukee
NeVs, and they consist Of declaration of
prin iples in opposition to the platform,
. and in denuneiation of the action of that
party, against which multitude of crimes
are charged, and complains of the publ
cation of list Of deserters and Of the
tariff A resolution was passed by the
committee for the partial reputation of
the national debt, but though it accorded
with the sentiments Of large part of the
Convention, substitute was adopted in
favor OF the payment Of the debt on the
terms on which it was contracted.
The following ticket was nominated:
Governor. j. Tallmadge, of Milwau,
kee, Lieutenant Governor, 6. L. Park,
Of Portage; Secretary of State-Emile
Rothe, of Jefferson; Treasurer-Peter
Rupp, of Fond du Lac; Attorney General
Il. ?. Wetherby, of St. Croix; Bank
ComptrolIer-R j. Harvey. of Winneba-
go; State Prison Commissioner-Ole
Heg, Of Racine; School Superintendent
L G. Draper
This Democratic ticket has little
strength personally, except in candidates
for Governor and Secretary of State, but
1t IS pretty we'll scattered as to locality
and nationality. It is not composed OF
such men as it would be were it for the
good of the people to put it in power.

THE ISSUE.

For some time past the copperhead press
of the State have been laboring assidueus,
ly to convince the German and foreign
born portion Of our community that the
Republican party was a temperance or
ganization, and also in favor OF enacting
stringent and arbitrary laws in regard to
the observance Of the Sabbath, and other
religious duties, They had hoped ty
this means to have drawn to the support
Of their ticket that large class of liberal
minded Germans who have heretofore
acted with the Republican party. In
this attempt they have signally failed,
and the Misrepresentation which they
have used will only add to their discom-
future.
The action Of the Republican State
Convention was such as to leave no doubt
as to the position occupied by the party
on these subjects, As there is no party
in the field in this State which advocates
the temperance reform, it is certainly not
a political question at issue, and the same
can be said in regard to the Sunday
question. ra 5as
The same is the case in regard to the
subject of female suffrage There are
few persons in. each political party who
imagine that the millennium would dawn
upon the world the moment the ballot
was placed in the hands of woman.
Some OF these would-be reform ers have
issued a call for convention to be held
at GAINESVILLE on Wednesday. October 9th
But aside from all these "imaginary
issues the real question for US to decide
is plainly presented to US. It is wheth-
er the destinies Of our country are to
be entrusted TO the party who were its
defenders in time of war, and who with
answering loyalty. desire to preserve
the fruits of victory; or whether the
Government shall be turned over to its
enemies TO the rebels and traitors at the
south, and their allies and sympathizers
at the north. This is the plain question
which must be answered at; the polls this
fall and next a" a

ALL ABOUT HOPS.

Correspondence OF the State Register.
KILBoURN City, Aug. II, 1867.
Messrs. EDITORS There are Is. 900
women, girls and children, picking hops
IN the region from which the hons will
be marketed at this place; and [ think
five thousand and half of these are GOOD
looking girls from twelve to twenty years
old. There's a paradise for No l young
men, but tophet for old bach's. Tt is
worth trip to Hop-laDd, to see hun
dred pckers In a yard. 1t looks like a
camp meeting. Health, happiness, songs
and fun, onl y serve to make the fingers
the nimbler; and after hopping all day, of
course these sprightly girls must wind
OFT by union hop, in the early hours of
the night. No wonder the girls want to
come from Milwaukee, Watertown, Beay-
er Dam, and all other places where the
fame and fun Of hop picking have reached,
and lucky are the young men who get the
position OF box tenders In such a crowd !.
l assure you that tie air is full of the
sound and odors Of hops. We see hops, we
smell hops, we taste hops, we feel hops
and we hear hops. Mr.. Aristocrat Hop
per- says he won't sell a farthing less than
70; and his little girl says she shan play
any more with her uncle non Hopper's
children, because they'r poor; and the
question will soon be, not whether women
and negroes may vote, but whether chill
dren of colored persons, and Of those who
do not raise hops, can go to the schools of
the hopocrary. Children and bread and
seven-thirty's, are raised on hope; aud the
time of day is known by the number of
boxes picked. Next week the intermin-
able trains of loaded wagons will make a
monster beehive Of our depot and all the
surroundings; and McGregar's great bank
safe, will be filed with green-backs, into
which the hops will have been turned.
Great is iopdom at least SO thinks

The causes that led to Haight's election
in California are well known. A major
ity of the delegates to the Republican
nominating convention were expected to
so for j ohm Bidwell, who is admitted to
have been the nearly unanimous choice
OF the Republicans of the state But by
a corrupt combination between friends. of
George G Gorham, aided by powerful
monied corporations, BidWell was defeat
ed and Gorham nominated. The whole
proceeding was denounced as corrupt by
the leading Republican papers, and it not
only led to the nomination Of a second
Republican candidate; but to great indif-
ference and apathy on the part of the peo-
pc, which reacted against the entire Re-
publican ticket. The vote of San Fran
cisco fell full six thousand short Of the
number of registered electors. So, too,
from dispatch published yesterday morn
ing, it appears that counties that last year
gave a total vote Of 59,647. this year
gave only 40, 5S9-a falling off of L..
O58. Of this number 13,245 is Repub-
lican loss, and only 8l3 is Democratic
