Democracy VS., Republicanism.

The N. Y. Democrat truly holds
that no man can serve both God and
mammon. No man can be black and
white at the same time, nor can he be
honest and dishonest, nor can he be a
democrat and republican. There is no
halfway ground between the right and
wrong. Democracy is all right, re-
publicanism is all wrong. Demoera-
cy cares for the interest of the people |;
republicanism for the interest only of
the rich. Democracy protects labor ;
republieanism heaps taxes upon it,
Democracy gives every State the right
for her people 70 retain their sovereign
independence, and regulate their own
affairs republicanism tends to des-
potism and Capitalization of power
Democracy means equality republi-
canism aristocracy; the accumulation
of wealth and the employing of it for
the control of legislation for the pro-
lection of itself rather than the pro-
lection of labor. Democracy means

Alarmed.

The Radicals are in great tribulation
for fear that the election of Gen. Rose
Grams will overthrow the admirable
School System of the State. It will
be exceedingly difficult for them to
tell what control the Governor of the
State has over our schools. He jap-
points none of its officers, he enacts,
nor does he veto any laws, he makes
and controls no appropriations and
issues no orders. And if he did, there
is not the least evidence to show that
he has any desire to interfere with a
school system that receives the ap-
proval and support of both political
parties. Our common school system
owes quito as much for its existence
to the Democratic party as any other
party.D "A cotemporary we'll remark 8 |:
"The Common School Law of Ohio
was framed by Democratic Commit
tee Of which Hon. Harvey Rice was
Chairman, and it was passed by Leg
isIature that was overwhelmingly
Democratic, iii 1858. The next year
f. was nut into successful operation
by Hon. II. II. Barney, the best school
Commissioner Ohio ever had. 1t is
acknowledged to be the most eff icisnt
school system in the United States
The Democracy are the especial friends
of the common school or democratic
svstem of education, free from parti-
san or sectarian influences. For the
Padicai papers to assail the Democra-
cv as the enemies of our common
ecbools. is supremely false and absurd.
There isnothing Objectionable, how
eyer! which our opponents hesitate TO
allege against u.s." qo9 sstF.a

The EIlIgabllity u Gen. Roseerans.


The fact that the Radical journals
are casting doubts upon the eiligibili-
ty of General Rosecrans to fill the of
flee of Governor of Ohio, is pretty
good indication that they believe he
will be elected. They rely not upon
keeping him out of the gubernatorial
chair by a majority of the votes cast
against him, but by his want of efligi-
bility, to attain that end. Not a scin-
tilla of proof has been given that the
General has ever abandoned his resi-
dence in the State of his birth, and
from which he has derived all his
honors. He is citizen of Ohio, tenn
porarily absent on the Pacific coast.
On this subject, the Ohio Statesman
says: '''' 2-' .
"Had not General Rosecrans been a
citizen of Ohio, and as such legal
voter therein, he would not have been
nominated, and, if nominated, certain
ly would not accept. He. belongs not
to the class of carpet-baggcrs, and III
Ohio he never could become ONE, for
he IS native here, and to the manor
of Ohioans born. He was born in
Delaware county, and raised on his
fathers farm in the county of Lick
ing. His present residence, we be-
lieve, is III Brown county. -
.He has never voted in California,
and, outside of his native State, has
never exercised the right of suffi age,
although frequently importuned to do
so. His first military appointment iIi
the war came from Ohio. and during
its entire existence he was recognized
as an Ohio General. ~:
"Just before the war broke out,
General Rosecrans was offered an Of
flee i'm Virginia, in the line of his pro-
fession, as an engineer, highly lucra-
tive, but which, by the law Of that
State, could only be filed by a oiti'
zen. He had been In the State long
enough to be a voter, yet he refused
the place, which otherwise he would
have accepted, because, as he said, he
felt pride in being a citizen of Ohio
and he would not forfeit it for any
office. iie t'iI2'loi4 9is' ~ - .

RIOT ON A STEAMBOAT.
Eight Men Reported Killed.


Telegrams to the associated press of
the 29th and 30th ult., give US the facts
concerning a bloody riot which occur
red on board the steamer Dubuque,
OIL the Mississippi river, at Hanlptan,
about ten miles above Rock Island, a
few days since. 1t appears that one
hundred and fifteen raftsmen came
aboard the boat at Hampton, and the
clerk ordered two of the negro deck
hands to stand guard at the gangway,
and not to let any one pass without his
permission. One of the raftsmen tried
to pass this guard and make his way
to the cabin, when the deck hand
ordered him back until his ticket was
examined by the clerk. He, not lik-
ing this, commenced pitching into the
deck hands, who got the best of him,
when the raftsmen to the number of
over one hundred, came to his rescue,
stabbing and beating the deck hands
till about dead, and then throwing
them into the river. --.', H..
They then made an. assault on the
rest of the deck crew and succeeded
in killing three more of them and
throwing their bodies into the river.
One of the raftsmen was also killed
i'll the melee, making six i'll all killed.
AS soon as the landing was reached,
FH.s oil
Captain Rhodes landed the boat, when
the raftsmen drove the deck crew
ashore, injuring several of them with
stones. AS soon as this was over,
they went aboard the boat and order
ed the captain to proceed up the river
or they would burn the boat. He be-
ing in their power and fearing they
would carry their threat into execu-
tion, headed the boat up stream, and,
in the meantime, telegraphed to the
Sheriff of Rock Island county, who
chartered train and left with a large
force we'll armed. They overlook the
boat at Clinton, Immediately took
possession of her, and started for
Rock Island. On arriving at Rock
Island, there were over 5000 people
on the bank, together with the crew:
Forty-two of the men were recog-
nized and taken to Jail. A strong po-
lice force was posted about the Jail.
A later dispatch says Rock Island is
full of raftsmen, but an extra force, OF
policemen has been stationed about
the city, and it is thought that no at
tempt at rescue will be made.

Personal Appearance of Gen. Rosecrans.
The following personal appearance
of General Rosecrdns we take from
Whitelaw Reid's "Ohio in the War"
General Rosecrans is nearly six feet
high, compact, with little waste flesh,
nervous and active in all his move
mepts, from the dietation of a dispatch
to the tearing and chewing Of his in
separable companion, his cigar, His
brow sample: the eyes are penetrat-
ing and restless /; the face is marked
with a well-trimmed- beard J; but the
mouth, with its curious smiles, half4of
pleasure, half of some exquisite, ner-
vous feelings, which might be intense
pain, is the feature which will lingcr
longest in the mind of a casual OBJ
server. He is easy of access. utterly
destitute of pretense, and utterly DEM
ocratic in his ways. With his. staff
his manner was familiar, and almost
paternal; with private soldiers, al
ways kindly, IN the field he was ca
pable of immense labori he seemed
never to grow weary, and never to
need sleep. Few officers have been
more popular with their. commands,
or to have Inspired more confidence
