A grand Democratic ratification meeting was

Robert Toomhs, Gen. Lowell Cobb. and the Hon.

reconstruction acts as unconstitutional and tyran-

of Seymour would insure the immediate repeal OF

acts and the people would then be left free TO at

BL0ATED EONDHOLDERs BOUGHT
THEM Up.

Nallandigham's Dayton Ledger confesses
the potency Of the logic used by the 'tbloated
bondholders' to persuade Western delegates
TO slaughter Pendleton. 1t says: " II is quite
evident beat there is well-founded indigna-
tion man1lesting itself throughout Ohio
against members Of the Western delegation
at New York who faltered in their support Of
Pendleton in the face of most positive in
structons from their constituency. Both In
diana and Illinois coquet,ed in the start, and
finally proved false to their most honorable
pledges The Southern representatives, too,
were not proof against the aliurements Of
our Eastern aristocrats, though in times past
they have ever been found welded TO princi>
pie. The defeat Of Mr.. Pendeton occasions
great disappointment.

THE FUNDING BILL.

The st. Louis Democrat says this, and It's
sensible and pertinent closing sentences are
chiefly noticeable:
Although We earnestly desired The passage Of a
good funding bill we cannot very greatly regret
Che failure Of Congress 10 take action that sub
jecl. Opinions were so widely at variance that
no action was possible that would not have Teen
wrangling compromise. Between Two earnest
and strongly supported policies Of finance, cons
prom.e is generally worse than delay. One or
the other policy is probably right, and ought to
be adopted and middle course is likely to have
the evils and faults Of both, and the cxceeneies
and advantages of neither. Perhaps the time
has not come 10 settle this question wisely; the
difference Of opinion between able and sincere
certainly points 10 that conclusion Until
after the Presidential election it would be impos-
sihlc 70 carry into effect with advantage any good
BILL because Of the disturbing effect Of the politi
cal situation. II fact. General Blair IS right if
the ar, wh;ch he proposes, i 70 come upon ", il
will make very little difference whether We fund
the debt al all or not. Elect him. and this country
will not lie paving any denis for many year,

be done Is TO make peace sure By The election of
