The CoIdest Season.

The Buffalo Courier has found a man. Mr.
Jerome Botsford, who remembers a colder
spring than the present, and says that
newspaper and weather critics are all
wrong in their complaints about this
season as the "most backward ever
known"
He says the spring of 1887 was not only
more backward, but much more rain tell
than had fallen this season. He has distinct
recollection that on the 10Th of May in that
year, the steamer Commodore Perry. of 450
tons burthen, commanded by Captain Da-
vid Wilkinson, was the first to enter Buffa-
10 harbor. She arrived from Detroit, via
Toledo, and had to break her way
through the ice for a distance of thirty
miles. The canals opened that spring
on the 26th of April, and that crowds of
passengers wOulC arrive on the canal boats
day after day, rU sh aboard the steamers ly-
ing at the dock. and seeing no prospects of
getting through the ice barrier in the har-
Dor would take the stage to Dunkirk, and
other points, where they could procure
passage on steamers to the upper lakes.
Notwithstanding the wet season and Jate
planting that year, the crops of 1887 yielded
most abundantly. i-.e
One of our old citizens, who takes pride
in remembering all matters long time past,
doubts the fact of the crops Of 1887 yielding
abundantly. The potato crop of Ohio that
year, for the first time, was almost an entire
failure, and seed for next springs planting
had to be got from other States.

The Louisville journal on tn
Ohio Negro Suffrage Platform.

The State Convention of the Ohio Rad
icals, which was held at Columbus on We'd
nesday last, adopted platform of which
the main plank is the following resolution !:
"That, while we will always cherish and
defend the American system of local aud
municipal self-government for local pur-
poses, and a National Government for ma
tional purposes, and while we are unalter-
ably opposed to all attempts at centraliza-
tion and consolidation of power anywhere,
we hold that liberty and human rights con-
stitute our great national boon, which local
or State organizations must not be allowed
to abridge or take away"
In plain English, the Ohio radicals here
in declare for the passage of the Sumner
Wilson bill establishing negro suffrage in
all the States. This is the English Of it.
The radicals of Ohio are clearly for the es-
tablishment of negro suffrage in all the
States by Congressional decree. And 80,
for that matter, are the radicals of the 9TH
er States, including the radicals of Ken
lucky. The establishment of negro suf-
frage in all the States by Congressional de-
cree is now the central plank in the plat
form of the radical party of the country.
This will not be denied by any radical who
has the smallest regard for his standing in
the party.

consolidation amounts to less than moth
Ing. Their faint disclaimer of that odious
principle serves only to betray their con-
sciousness OF claiming it. Their disavowal
avows their guilt. While we are opposed
to consolidation, they say, in effect, we
hold that the General Government should
establish negro suffrage in all the
States. But, if the General Govern
ment can lawfully establish negro suf
trage in all the States, what. If it thinks
proper, can it not lawfully do in all the
States? Nothing in the whole range of
government. Absolutely nothing. The
establishment OF negro suffrage by the
General Government establishes the prin-
ciple of consolidation. After that, all the
questions that arise will be questions of
mere expediency. The constitutional
right of the General Government to do
whatever it pleases will have been settled.
1t will be no longer an open question. go
The Radical party ia therefore consol-
idation party. Consolidation is really the
sum and substance of the platform of the
party. And we r,joice that the party is
clearly If not squarely planting itself on
its platform. The attitude assuredly is
clear enough; and, if not square, is so near
square that we can square it. A square
fight is what we want. --i

The National Banks Raising
Means 10 Rribe CONGRESS.


A correspondent of the NeaD York Herald,
writing from Louisville, charges that a
New York National Banking House re-
Gently sent out circulars assessing all "the
National Banks lie per cent on their
capital to form fund" to buy up Congress,
and defeat the opposition of the monopoly.
Should all the banks respond, the fund will
amount to over two million dollars. The
correspondent adds: II have seen the cir
culars." --t
This charge, coming from the source it
does, and with the assurance that it is well
founded, is one that, in the better days of
the Republic, when, among members of
Congress, honesty was the rule and want
of it the exception, would have excited
alarm.
The Gordon of National Banks owing
their paternity to Mr.. CHASE, and living
and fattening on the debt which the Re
public owes, have an interest in direct
antagonism to that of the people. The
larger the National debt, the more the peo-
pie are fieeced to pay the interest, and the
larger per cent. of earnings these Banks
divide.
Their notes, payable in greenbacks, are
rapidly filling the entire volume of circu-
lation. On this they draw interest, and the
struggle now is, to force the Government
to withdraw its greenback currency and to
confide the entire monetary interest of the
nation to their keeping.
With such Congress as the present, we
douht NOT thew will he sIIccessful for two
million dollars will be sufficient 20 pur-
chase any favor Congress can give. This
done, the people are the sufferers.

The Assertion that Galloway De
CIinRa.


The Columbus correspondent of the Gin
ctnnati Gazette has the following in relation
to Mr.. GALLOWAY
''Hon. Sam. Galloway has not yet COM
his determination to decline the nomina-
has informed his friends it is his intention
to do so.
'The nomination of person to succeed
him on the ticket devolves on the commit
tee, and according to precedents he should
be taken from the candidates before the
Convention, and preference should be Civ
en- to the one having the highest vote after
the declining candidate.
"If the Convention should adopt that
course, Mr.. Hitchcock, of Geauga, would be
the nominee. Mr.. Howell, of Ashtabula,
had the next highest vote. There will,
however, be strong pressure brought to
bear in favor of Mr.. Tibbals, of Summit,
who is a capital stumper, and would make
good canvass"
To speculate on GALLowAY's successor on
the Ticket, before his refusal to serve, is
like waiting for dead mems shoes while the
owner is still living. Mr.. PIATT gave as
his deliberate opinion that Mr.. GALLOWAY
would not decline, for he would take any
thing that was offered him. This opinion
seems to be the prevailing one among
his friends, and hence the aspirants who are
willing to run upon and be defeated with
the Negro Suffrage Ticket must postpone
their martyrdom until the next campaign.

ECONOMICAL DARKIEs.-A Radical newspaper boasts that the negroes of the South have deposited considerable sums in Savings Banks during the last year. That MAY be so but, says the St. Louis Republican, poor laboring white men in the North might deposit considerable sums in Savings Banks too, if the Federal Government would furnish them houses to live in, food to eat, clothes to wear and schools for their children, as it does for the ne- groes. But, instead of such favors, the white men of the North are compelled to furnish all these things for them selves and then pay taxes to support negroes and enable them to lay by money in the Savings Banks besides It used to be said that this was white mans government; but through Radi- cal Bureaus and such like agencies. it is practically government in which white men have to labor and pay taxes for the benefit of negroes; and yet, in the face of these practical facts, the Radical demagogues talk about "cqual- ity before the law"

WADE HAMPToNs VIEW OF THE QUEsTIoN.--Gen Hampton, in a speech at the recent South Carolina Conserya- tive Convention, Illustrated his view ot the dignity becoming the Southern people, by relating this anecdote:
 A company of British soldiers were being transported to India, when the weasel sprung leak. The captain an- nounced the fact that there was no hope, and only the women and chill dren could be saved. The captain of the company called upon his men to protect the boats while they were be- ing freighted with the women and children to be sent away. When the task was accomplished, he stood in front of his company, and as the vessel was going down, with the waves lash ing their feet, gave the order to his men, s'present arms It was an in- stance of the sublimest heroism, forti- tude and discipline. So, if our vessel must go down, let us at least stand true to our principle, and do nothing to de- serve reproach. Let us sink, if not with arms in our hands, true to the past, and to all the instincts of our na- turc as Carolinians.
