Repudiation.

No intelligent man who reads the Demo.
cratic platform can fail TO understand Its pur-
port. II is Mt. Pendleton's creed, and means
reputation and nothing less. The organ Of
this gentleman, the Cincinnati Inqtfrsr, Gays:
"The platform adopted At New York Il q sub.
stantial Affirmation, In its financial planks, OF
Mr. rendlston,s policy wa: ADOPTED snsn,,
heneeforth, then, 4 e settled part Of The
are to be paid in sreenbaeks., This iss proud
triumph Of the people over the bondholding
innuence which has made such q bitter and
yindictive fight against II. 1t is q victory won,
too, under the shadow OF wall street, In the
very centre Of the money power"
The Louisville Journal thus endorses 1t.
This paper says; t..
uWbether or not we shall have Mr.. Pendle-
ton himself zoe al any rate haze got his platform,
which is the best part OF him ana In that
sign, under any standard bearer whom the
Convention 10 capable Of selecting, we shall
conquer"
The New York Journal Of Commerce sees
this platform in the same light, though 1t does
not exactly approve the proposition. That
journal says:
"ThIs is out-snd-out reputation of solemn
obligation, as we understand u, to pay all the
bonded debt in gold, There is no excuse Tor
such a proposition. II is both wicked and dis.
graceful. The authors know very well that
the money was borrowed with the express un.
uerBthnOtnR tnht IL was 10 Dc phlu III coinf huu
that anything short of this 10 population OF q
solemn covenant. Gov. Seymour has always
warmly insisted on the obligation to pay the
bonds In gold, Tho platform 10 thus the very
opposite OF his well known views. How the
two are to be reeonciled, 1t Is not for us to
deeide.n
The London Tines, paper that, during the
civil war, took sides with and encouraged the
rebellion, says Of the platform, that 1t lays
down the principle OF partial Reputation. II
should be considered as forewarning Of the
| defeat of the Democratic party next autumn
and of Its permanent exclusion from ONCE, II
| not Of Its complete disruption. Reputation
may be q strong card for the Democrats in the
West and South, since the Radicals have an
| nounced that they will adhere to this principle
| of national honesty. But, by the adoption OF
| the platform, the Democratic party throws
| away all Its chances of success In the East and
| renders the election OF General Grant GER
| tainty.
We might publish much larger number OF
extracts in proof OF this proposition that the
platform means repudiationj but 1t is NOT
worth while, as all who read It can sec that
this Is Its doctrine.

Ii is unnecessary to state the origin of thiI
painting, as the sad incident which laid "Hon

The painting is the design OF John b. Bach,

THE SOUTHERN uNREPESTAST REBELS have
captured the Democratic party, bag and bag

form and nominated Its candidates. General
Wade Hampton, who refused to surrender to
the Union arms after his superior, General
Joe johnson, had surrendered himj General
William Preston, of Kentucky, who became n
rebel from choice, his State remaining In the
Union; Barksdale, another rebel general, OF
Mississippii 7. A, Babcock, speaker OF the
Virginia rebel House OF Representatives., and
G. q. Langdon, another intense rebel, from
Alabama-these were all members of the COM
mittee on platform. The men in the North
who followed their lead in the convention
were Seymour, Blair, Clymer, Bigler, Vallan.

From San Francisco - Ratification
Meeting.

SAN FRANCISCO, July ll.-Admiral Haskins,
commanding the English Squadron In the
Pacific, disapproves Of the proceedings OF Com.
modore Bridges of the Chanticleer, in the af.
fair at Mazatlan, and orders him to reopen
that port immediately, and proceed to Panama.
Don Angel Martinez, leader OF the late un-
successful revolution in Sinola, and chief OF
staff, Colonel Toledo, are now in this city.
The Democrats at San Francisco, last night,
held large meeting to ratify the nominations
Of Seymour and Blair.
Gov. Haight presided.
Gen. Ord, commanding the the department
OF California, has called the attention OF the
Secretary OF War to the fact that II the con.
templated reductions In the army be made by
Congress no troops can be sent here to fill
vacancies made by the large number OF men
soon to be discharged.
Some Of the posts in Arizona and Idaho will
be abandoned, while others will be weakened
so that 1t will be impossible to send expedi-
tions against the hostile Indians. The settle
ments and overland routes win be exposed to
attack.

The ALBANY Evening Journal says 1t would
be as great personal misfortune to Horatio
Seymour to be elected President az 1t would
be to the country. We hardly think he will be
obliged to suffer this personal discomfort.
The Journal proceeds to say that he would be
either forced to carry out the revolutionary
programme laid down by the reckless despe-
RADIO associated with him on the ticket, or his
lie would not be worth moments insurance.
Methods have been heretofore found to remove
an obnoxious President, and II SeymouF should
occupy that position, he would be got out Of
the way. The nomination Of Blair Is an ear.

THRCAsE or JOHN II. sURRATT.-Thc last
phase In the Surratt case, as shown in our
court reports, Is a motion to quash the indlc'.
ment originally found against him, and on
which he was tried. This indictment has
been practically superseded by the new in
dictment for engaging in the rebellion. The
motion to quash is based upon an aoknowl-
edged informality In the selection Of the grand
jury which found the Indictment. Unless It
be held that Surratt has waived his right to
except to the indictment by going to trial TN
der 1t, this motion must end the first indict-
Jnent against him.

THINGS ARE WORKING and the influence oil
the Democratic doctrine Is beginning to be
felt. The Cincinnati Commercial says;
1.-THE resolution declaring that the public
debt, where 1t is not expressly stipulated as
payable n coin shall be paid In lawful
as Western Democrats would like to have IT.;
but 1t will do, and had the effect yesterday OF
depreciating Government credit one per cent,
and sending gold up as a consequence. But 1t
Is no new thing with Democrats to strike at

during Buchanan's administration, in time OF
were negotiated with difficulty at ten and
twelve per cent"

The New York Sun says that the fatal point
OF the Democratic ticket 10 the nomination OF
General +. p. Blair, IT,, for the Vice Presi-
dency. General Blair is jolly good fellow, n
first rate fighter, great on stump speech, and
a strict temperance man.
We rather think 1t is fatal, and we do not
believe that Mr.. Blsir's Jollity, though he were
MS jolly as Mark Tapley, can save either him.
self or his party. That Mr.. Blair is strict TEN.
pcrdRee man will be news In this latitude.

IT is reported that extensive ruins
have been discovered in Arizona re-
Gently by a party Of surveyors engaged
in exploring the country for railroad
purposes. The ruins extend for miles
along the Little Colorado River. Some
of the walls of the buildings are yet in
their places, and stand six or eight feet
high. The streets may be traced for
miles. The old irrigating canals and
bitches are yet in a fair state Of preser-
walton, and may be traced for miles
also. The ground is strewed with
crockery ware. The party found some
nearly whole vessels OF curious form.
The ware seems to be Of q different
quality and finer than that found at
most of the ruins in Arizona. Many Of
the walls of the buildings are built of
hcwn stone, and put up in n workman
like manner To all appearances here

ruins Of q large structure, or castle,
