Recently DOM PIATT was serenaded by
political friends and neighbors, on which
occasion he made speech, which the Ohio
State Journal published on the 23d and call
ed attention to it in the following words:
Dom Piatt has not Joined the Demo-
cratic party, as some OF them fattered
themselves he would. For further particu-
lars read the compact and incisive little
serenade speech reported elsewhere.
After having read the foregoing we turn
ed to the speech and read therein the fol-
lowing:
CORRUPTION AND DEATH.
But, my friends, as the sun breeds mag
gots in dead dog, the sun of our Republi-
canism seems to have called up from the
bogs and fens, and swamps all the vile
things that crawl and hiss and fatten on the
public veal. There necer 'oas a period in the
history of this any other people that foul COR
Yuption so poisoned humanity. 1t is no long,
er hidden in dark places as If ashamed or
afraid. 1t stalks abroad in the noon tide
sun, making day itself sick and hideous.
While trade is prostrdted, and hard earned prof.
its groD less, or disappear, aohtte taxation
qripds as do,on. ttieues, aoith brdssy faces and
greedy hands fill our offices and fatten on the
Sp0iLs. Rings surround every department.
corrupting the ballot box, and debasing
the trusts, while all over the land the pois-
on extends, until peace to private life has
disappeared, and rogues hold high carni-
val. We have attributed much of this to
the bad man who came in through assassi.
nation, and true to his own vile instincts
has organized official theft, and inaugura.
ted murder. [Applause Well, at last we
brought him to trial before the highest
court known to our Government. Aftel
a protracted hearing, he went acquit
through the weakness of two Republican
Senators, and the treachery of five. Wher
that news reached me thought surely thu
Republican party was dead, and l SO ex
pressed myself.
DOM may consider it proper that h
should continue political fellowship with
party so 'outrageously corrupt; but W.
doubt much whether honest Republican
who seek only good Government and no,
Office, will consider it incumbent on then
to vote to keep these shameless thieves il
office.

BILE subterfuge on this question. Negro
| Suffrage having been forced on the South
by Congressional Intervention through
bogus Constitutions, gotten up by carpet
bag beggars and Negroes, is to: be guaran-
teed by recognizing it as an accomplished
fact, which can only be changed by tn e ac-
tion of the States themselves, through the
very electors thus manufactured, in VIOLA
tion OF the plainest provisions of the Con-
stitution OF the United States. Let it be
recollected, too, that under these bogus
State Constitutions, no one can vote
who will not swear to support, both
now and hereafter, Negro Suffrage
What chance then is there for relief
if the Democracy recognize as legitimate
State Governments, these monstrous crea-
tions of fraud and military despotism? 1t
is to enforce the perpetuation of these
Governments, that General GRANT is put
forward to sustain their authority, if nec-
essary, by the sword, should the white peo.
pie of these States ever endeavor to throw
off the yoke. The platform of the Democ-
racy in National Convention cannot ignore
this issue. The whole system of Congress
sonal-bogus State Government is a nullity
in law, and the two millions of white elec-
tors, who have voted against Negro Suf-
frsge in the Northwest, will so respond
when the question is put fairly before
them. Nor are Mr.. CHAsE's financial views
any more acceptable to the mass of elec-
tors who will be called upon to support
him. What could Democratic stumper
say to the people on these points? His
nomination would be equivalent to our de-
feat in Ohio by fifty thousand majority
and disorganization OF our local politics
throughout the West. While conciliating
no Democrat, it would driue d,oay Thousands
OF anti-Negro Suffrage Republicans, who
fiocked to our standard, because they
were disgusted in following such leaders as
CHASE.

a God of Taste.

At the opening of the new Free
Church at Crathie, in Scotland, DR.. Guth-
RE said:
''I highly approve of the resolution of
our friends that led them to build such a
house as this; because there is ne grea-
ter mistake In the world than to fancy
that while God is a God of holiness, a
Ged of power, and of justice he is not
also God of taste, just as much as he
is a God of anything else that is lovely
and good. And how do prove that
you may ask. prove that by just asking
you to 90 to the sea-shore and find out
for me shell that is not pretty. prove
that by asking you to 60 to those mead
ows and find out a flower that is not pref
ty. Let me tell you that the flowers
would have produced their kind accor-
ding to the law, although they had new
er been painted. 1t is not necessary for
the rose and the lily that the one should
blush so beautiful red and the other
bloom as white as snow. sod has made
q useful fower-a useful rose and useful
lily-and then painted them. 1t is as
certain as that the Bible is true that he
is God of taste, as much as he is pos
sessed of those other attributes. And
therefore 1t is, l say, that rejoice in
the erection of such building for God 5
service. Cur old stupid notion was that
God never was so well worshipped as in
an ugly house. 1t is a great mistake
mistake contrary to the Bible-contrary
to reason and common sense"

Death Of Two Notorious Char
acferS.

On Tuesday the 11th inst, died two
notorious Americans-Ada Isaacs Mem
ken and Thaddeus Stevens. Both prom
inent in peculiar spheres, in death they
were not divided. The spirit of the
former going out from the moral purleius
of the French metropolis hovered awhile
in mid air, no doubt, for its companion
still lingering in the political cesspool Of
the American capital.
Creatures of passion both-hers of the
heart; his of the head-hers soft, seduc-
tive; his harsh repulsive. Creatures of
ambition both, craving notoriety, she by
diyesting herself of all womanhood-he
by abandoning all manhood, all humani-
ty. Both despots-she seeking willing
admirers-he seeking unwilling slaves.
Both revolutionists- she upsetting the
family ideal-he demolishing all society.
Both died in the zenith of notoriety-
both, in the place that had witnessed
their boldest daring, their greatest tri
umph. The difference was one of sex
only-she as pretty as he was ugly-she
as sensitive as he was unfeeling-she re-
joicing in many husbands and no chill
dren-he ignoring his children because
he had no wife.
And the difference of her sex follows
Their memory. None will be found so
low to do her reverence. And shall he
escape the just censure of society, be-
60 he played upon broad -, -,
because he was the semblance OF a man
The distinction is unjust-unjust to the
dead-unjust to the living. De mortais
SSl nisi bonuBa, was Pagan maxim.
Christians have no use for ''whited Sc
pulchres." The lives of the good tend
to edifcation. The lives of the wicked
are fraught with warning And the liv
ing need warming as well as edifcation.
The Menkin is gone. Thad. Stevens
is gone. The Devil is gathering his own.
The harvest is ripe. The end IS near.
Let BSownlow beware, lest he seek re
pentence in hell

rake Him at ais WORD.

General Grant has declared ''that he
was no statesman, and was unfit for civil
life by reason of his military habits and
education" and surely Gen. Grant best
knows his fitness for civil Office. Let US
take him at his word, and unite with him
in believing that he IS not qualified for
the Office of President. Let US not hu-
initiate a military hero by placing him in
a position he cannot fill, and which must
reduce him to a mere maelIshe for artful
politicians. Gen. Grants now like Samp-
son in the lap of Delilah. With locks
shorn and strength gone, designing men
have bound him, and he has no power to
break away and save himself. He holds
the highest military Office in the land,
and with that let him be content.
We do General Grant no wrong when
we protest against his incapacity for civil
life. Those who remember his connec-
ton with the Mexican mission justify his
want of capacity. The President, Sec
retary of State and the Secretary of War
desired high military officer of the
government to accompany our Minister
to Mexico, and advise with him as to the
proper course to pursue upon the with
drawal of the French troops. Grant, as
General of the armies, was chosen but
in note to the President and in an Of
fetal communication to the Secretary Of
War, he begged to be excused upon the
ground Of his ignorance and incompe-
teney! And he urged the selection OF
Sherman, Hancock, Sheridan, or any
body else who could see and comprehend
objects beyond the length of his sword

lister in any matter beyond stationing 0.
troops on United States soil. = X !
