OHIO DEMOCRACY.

The Ohio democracy have taken the tielc
and put forth their declaration of princi
pies, from which we can judge the position
which the democratic party in other States
will occupy. They denounce the tariff
bill lately before Congress, also the exist.
/ ing tariff, and favor a close approximation
to free trade; declare against the internal
revenue system as oppressive and annoy
ing; denounce the profiigacy and corrup-
ton of the national administration, its
appointments to office and disregard OF
the rights of citizens abroad; proclaim
opposition to land monopoies; declare the
act for the enforcement of the Fifteenth
Amendment unconstitutional, unjust, OPP
pressiye, an invasion of the rights of the
States, and subvcrsive of the rights of the
people, assert the power and duty of the
federal government to tax national bonds,
and demand that Congress assess and col
lect tax upon them: oppose the system
of national banks and denounce the adj
ministration for its policy in relation to
Great Britain and Spain.
There is nothing said here about the
large reduction of the national debt effect
ed the last year by the administration this
was probably beneath the notice of the
convention. But there are two points
made, one against the enforcement of the
Fifteenth Amendment, the other in favor
of taxation of bonds, which are subjects
of national concern and serve to show thai
the fell spirit of apprehension is not yet
extinct. The convention was not very
enthusiastic over its doings and prospects,
but having set an example for the democ.
racy of Vermont and Maine quietly adj
journed after short session.

If Mr. Charles B. Knapp of North New
Portland is democrat, and has been
appointed to office by surreptitious. OF I'M
tair means, as the Portland Advertiser al
leges, there is just cause for complaint on
the part of republicans. But the repre-
sensations of the "ins" and "outs," are
often so at variance with each other, that
it is very unsafe to venture an opinion af-
ter hearing but one side of the case, and
after hearing both sides, it is generally
enough to puzzle Philadelphia lawyer to
decide which is right. We presume this
airing of North New Portland affairs at
this time is entirely with view to reform
the manner of appointments in the civil
service, and was made with no reference
whatever to the Congressional Convention
which meets in thi. city next week. Doubt
less it will have a vast influence to aid the
passage of Mr. Jenckes' BILL and how it
will affect Mr.. Blaine's nomination will be
told next Tuesday afternoon.

The Boston Advertisers Washington
correspondence says 1.-The struggle in the
House over the tax and tariff question was
easily concluded without any of the noise
and excitement of last week The point
for which General Schenck contended all
day Saturday was carried by yeas 116,
nays "a, and then the first section of his
tariff bill was added as an amendment to
the tax bill by yeas l39 to nays 43. The
second section embodying his free list was
next added by yeas 102 to nays 40, and the
third and fourth sections We're then added
without division. On the passage of the
whole bill thus amended, the vote stood
yeas l05, nays 80. the only republicans in
the negative being Hays and Hefin of Ala
bama. The democrats and revenue re-
formers were anxious to have various
changes made in both the first and second
sections, looking to an increase of the free
list, and further reductions on iron, steel
and certain other articles. The democrats
fought Schenck to the last, but the revenue
reformers concluded, under all circum-
stances, to take the bill and console them
selves with the fact that it makes reduc-
ton of at least $40, 900, 900 of internal
taxation, and of about $40, 900, 900 on the
tariff. The House in the early part of the
day, on motion of Mr.. Ward of New York,
declared for free coal, by yeas 113, nays
10, and some members wanted to put this
article on Mr.. Schenck's free list to-day,
but it was thought advisable, on the whole,
to let the matter take the usual course, on
the promise that the ways and means COM
mittee would bring in the free coal bill to-
morrow. When it is passed and reaches
the Senate, Mr.. Sherman's committee will
probably incorporate coal into the general
bill. In that body there will be an effort
made to also include salt and hides, and
possibly some other articles, in the tree

The Democratic General Committee of
New York adopted resolutions calling
upon the different boards in the city to
displace all republicans in their employ
ment and fill their places with democrats.
The boards have been visited in some
cases, and although inconvenient and en-
barrassing to the public service, all repub-
licans are obliged to leave and seek en-
ployment elsewhere. This is democratic
liberality ~exemplifed where that party
holds the power.

THE PAPAL CouNc1L.--A letter from Rome,
dated February IL, to the New York Herald,
says:
"Thc event most worthy of mention lately
is certainly the formation of o third party,
headed by DR.. Spalding, Archbishop Of
Baltimore, whose policy will be to steer o
middle course with respect to the disputed
dogma of the Pope's personal infallibility
between the ultra Romans, who favor 1t, on
the one hand, and the liberal Catholics, re-
presented by the French and German
bishops, who follow Monseigneur Dupan-
loup and Cardinal Rauscher, on the other.
Like the pro and anti infallibilists, the
middle men have drawn up their postulatun
also. In this document the Signatures ex-
press their conviction that the personal in
fallibility may be safely treated Of in the
Council, but they would wish the Assembly
to limit its action to declaration of CEN
sure against whoever shall profess CHROME
Gus doctrines hestile to the Pope's primary
against those who maintain that "while
they owe an external generation for the
DEGREES of the Roman Pontiff they are by
no means obliged to yield the internal as
sent of their hearts and minds "-against
those who see nothing impossible in the
Pope's opinion differing from that of the
bishops, thus morally severing the head Of
the Church from the body and members
and against those who maintain that the
Pope may occasionally condemn some pro-
position from the mere fact Of not having
thoroughly understood il.
$50 for the third party seeks to maintain
the spiritual prestige of the Pope without
going to the extreme measure Of deifying
him. 1t assumes as the head and front of
its position the unerring prerogative Of
the Roman Pontiff, together with the in
fallibility of the Church. But it does not
consider possible or advisable the disjunc-
ton of these two attributes any more than
it would be possible for human head and
body to function separately from and indie
pendently of each other.
"Thi5 seems to be the only practical
compromise between the two extreme par
ties, and it is evident that many bishops
who have not hitherto positively given
their adherence to the postuldta, for or
against the dogma, as well as many others
who have already enlisted under one ban
ner or the other, will be glad to become re-
cruits in the Archbishop of Baltimore's
spiritual battalion, which, at the outset, was
principally composed of fathers speaking
either English or Spanish"
