A NUIsANoE.-The hauling by the
sanitary carts of filth and garbage
through the most populous streets of the
city during the day, thereby creating an
intolerable and disgusting stencil, has
become an absolute NUISANCE, and the
occasion Of much just complaint There
is an ordinance, if we are not much mis-
taken, requiring the removal of filth by
night, when those along the route of its
transit are supposed to be in their houses
and sleeping. If such an ordinance is
in existence, we would suggest its en-
forcemsnt, or ii the necessity of such a
provision has never arisen heretofore, it
is now high time that it was enacted and
put in effect. Has or has not such an
ordinance been passed2

Democratic State Convention.
Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.I
GRAFTON, WEST VIRGINIA.l


July 16, 1868. 1
The Democratic State Convention, which
has tonight concluded its third and last
session, has been a success. From Re-
publican standpoint it has been a success,
the significance of which will be gravely
pondered. Three years ago West Virginia
had only Union men. The then Demo-
Gratis of the State were but handful and
caucused in small room. Now the DEM
ocratic party, augmented, strange to say,
from the ranks of the Republicans,
cram a monstrous wigwam, and the
whole assembly display an earnestness of
purpose that will sooner or later-if things
be not changed for the betLer-result in
Republican defeat and Democratic VIC
tory. Our sympathies are with the Re-
publican party, because it is the party of
progress and civilization. But this party
in West Virginia is accused of sacrificing
Justice to the temporary interests and ad-
vantage OF the party. The registry laws
which exist at this time, and which, to IN
sure the success of the dominant party, are
rigidly enforced, it is claimed, exclude not
only those who gave aid and comfort to the
rebellion, but thousands of true Union
men, who never, in this respect, infringed
any law of God or man. 1857
A Union father, who, failing to persuade
| a disloyal son, gave him crust OF bread TO
keep him from actual starvation, is dis
| 1ranchised, though he might have been
| loyal clG1Zen anu an aruenG supporter OI Gne
Government for lite time. He who is
guilty OF no crime bey ond yielding to the
promptings natural to parents heart; he
| who aided friend i'm need, or offered aid,
not to the rebellion, but to friend sore
distressed, as tar as exercising the
rights OF citizenship is concerned, is
placed in the same category as the
wretch who has violated every law of the
land. But the main trouble complained
of is that the exercise OF these proscriptive
powers is placed in the hands of men
amenable to no law, subject to no penalty,
restrained by no oath, and guided only by
the caprices, prejudices or misinformation
of interested parties; and it is actually af-
| frmed that not few of those who to-day
are enforcing these proscriptive laws were
open and active enemies of the Govern
ment during the nations troubles.
West Virginia polls about forty thousand
votes, aud about ten thousand voters are
disfranchised by the existing registry laws,
a large proportion OF whom, it is said, are
| true Union men, but who would, had they
the opportunity, vote with the Democratic
party.
We do not make these statements in the
interest of the Democracy, but we hold JUS
tice to be above party, and the liberty OF
the citizen before the interests of a clique !;
and we should not hesitate to make a
| wholesome confession, even if it damaged
the interests of party, if thereby we could
serve the country or vindicate the rights OF
Its humblest citizen.

Judge Thurman at Graftou.

We give to our readers this morning, the
abstract of Judge THURMAN's speech, de-
livered at Grafton, West Virginia, ON the
18th inst, as reported to the Cincinnati En-
Quirer.
We regret that the report is not full. 1t
is, however, full enough to show that the
Judge handled the questions in issue in
this contest with that eminent ability that
distinguishes all his speeches. There is a
plainness and directness Ia his speeches
that force conviction ON the minds of his
readers, and it is this that makes them
powerful with the masses.

the letter of Senator DooLrTTLE, that we
reproduce this morning. He discourages
the third party movement, and urges the

Government administered in accordance
with the Constitution and for the good of
the whole people. Read it.
