The Infamy Accomplished.

The "land-grabbing," rail road bill
has passed the lower house of Com
gress. This is the most stupendous
robbery that has been perpetrated up
on the country since the elevation of
the abolition party to power. 1t is the
last "great gr0b," at the pockets OF the
people; and swindles the rising gener-
alton out of thousands of millions of
acres of land, and shuts out all pros
poets of a homestead for the battle

abolition thieves have now stolen over
five States as large as Ohio ; and all
the valuable lands in the richest val

have fallen into the hands of railroad

to the people, and should have been
reserved as homes for the future mil

destined to crowd the great vest
Now, if they desire a home, they will
have TO pay the railroad Kings five or
six prices for it, and suffer a loss of
their independence. by submitting to
the grinding extortions of the money

is the boldest, and most direct repudia-
ton of the promise to remember the
soldier and his children, that has char
acterized the perfideous abolition par

asked a homestead, and they have
given them the status of a slaves,

An Admirable Speech.

We publish, en- the first page of this
paper, a powerful speech recently de
livered in the Senate of the United
States, by Hon. A. G. Thurman, on
a bill to appropriately CO enforce
the infamous fifteenth amendment.
Pending the discussion of the fifteenth
amendment in the various States, we
took occasion, than once, to al
lude to the terms, appropriate leg
islation," appended to the amendment
and insisted that if that amendment
should be forced into the constitution,
n bill would speedily follow to take
from the people the right to regulate
their own election laws, AMI that the
military, with bayonets would be pla-
ced about our election precincts. rs in
the most despotic countries. Our Re
publican contemporaries insisted, in re-
ply, that u fears were imaginary,
and that there was nc design on the
part of Gen. Grant, or his admins
tration to overthrow our laws and con
stitution. Our apprehensions have
been o than realizedl The enor-
nifty of the act now pending, is suG-
Gent to amaze every lover of his u

this degradation, we have elected our
last President! Long before 1872,

neighbor, request him to carefully ex-
anime it, and consider whether it is
not his duty to abandon a party that
has perfidiously violated every pledge
it has given the people.

ED. STTAEs & UNION:
In my last, L promised to give you
a sketch of the grand reception at
Washington and Baltimore. The
formal reception at Washington took
place on Thursday evening at the new
Masonic Temple, a fine Hall, deoora-
ted with the flags of the different ma
tionaliries. Here the excursionists
by invitation assembled, and were
Joined by the President and his lady,
the heads of Departments, the Ohio
delegation in Congress, the resident
Ohioans of the city, Foreign Ministers
and the elite of the city; prominent
among whom was the venerable ex
Senator Thomas Ewing, the noblest
Roman of them all. Although 81
years of age he retains his mental fac
ulttes in full vigor. AS the members
from Ohio gathered about him, to
shake his hand, he said, "young men,
1 do not know your faces, yet 1 knew
all your fathers, fifty years ago"
Senator A. G. Thurman, made the
reception speech. Of course, it was
well done. 1t was replied to by Sen
alto Audlin of Ohio. Many other
speeches were made, and responded
to. A grand promenade then took
place. The band in the gallery dis
coursed sweet music. Tho whole
company then partook of the bounte-
GUS refreshments, under which the ia
Bile fairly groaned. The dancing
then commenced and continued, until
the small hours Of morn, when the
party departed. All went off pleas
antly ; and was regarded the grandest
affair of the season. The next day,
we visited the different public build
ings, the Treasury-thc war Office
General Postoffice-the Patent office
Smithsonian Inst tute-and 9th
err places of public resort-all of which
were viewed with interest and profit
On Saturday morning, we left on a
special train for Baltimore, by invita-
ton of the city authorities. and arri-
we'd in one hour and n half, the dis
lance being 80 miles, and were landed
on the wharf, where in n of the
company warehouses, we found an
ocean steamer "rhe Ohio" belonging
to the Bremen line, plying between
this point, and northern Germany
On this floating palace the reception
took place, the formality of which,
being over, we passed throughth the vari-
Gus departments of this mammothwater
craft, which cost its owners, 1915, 900,
and carries 2400 tons burthen! Soon
another steamer was in readiness, the
"Jacob Pense," for a trip down the
bay, on which we embarked. The
day was very fine, and the excursion
pleasant. We passed FITS. McHenry
and Carroll, and North Point where
the British fleet landed troops under
General Ross, and q battle took place
and the Red Coats were repulsed in
1914.
After passing down the bay some
twenty miles, the company partook of
refreshments. Toasts, speeches, good
feeling and fine cheer were the order
of the day, The steamer put about
and headed for the city, passing many
steamboats, and sail crafts. and arriv-
ed at the city at 4! o'clock p. NJ. We

found one hundred carriages awaiting
our arrival. After being seated in
them, we were driven through the
principal streets, and to the City
Park, a we'll laid out. and beautiful
tract of land containing 500 acres,
overlooking the city. With its fountains
and summer houses, and winding
ways, it is perfectly enchanting, and
evinces the good taste of the people
of Baltimore.
Upon our return at Z o'clock, we
found an excellent supper prepared by
the city authorities. In all these ex-
cursions we were accompanied by the
Mayor, the Alderman, the principal
citizens and trade associations. These
Baltimoreans, with true southern hos
pitality, know how to treat their guests
and make them feel at home AT
nine o'clock, in the evening we start
ed for Columbus, Ohio, over the long
line Of railroad that has cost STE, O00,-
600, the initiation stone Which was laid
in 1926, by Charles Carroll of Carroll
ton. We landed at Columbus on
Sunday night at l o'clock, somewhat
fired, but much pleased and profted
by the trip.
Let me inquire, what motive the
company had TO tender this excursion
to the members of the Ohio Legisla-
lature? In answer, / have this to
say-Ohio occupies apeculiar position.
All great lines of rail road connecting
the northwest with the Seaboard,
must pass through Ohio. Many OF
these roads are competing lines. The
Baltimore people desire that Ohio
should understand that they have as
good facilities for transportation as
any other road, and ask no u%rfriendly
legislation again st their road. While
Ohio should treat all Passing over her
territory fairly, this desire on the part
of Baltimore, is perfectly proper.
She possesses a good harhor, and can
give, in exchange for Ohio produce,
imported goods of all kinds as cheap
as Philadelphia and New York.

then informed what a Democratic vic

significance of the pending canvass.

Speech of Hon L. D. Campbell.
On taking his sent as President
of the Democratic convention Mr..
Campbell said.
Gentlemen of the Convention: I
acknowledge my high appreciation of
the honor your kind confidence con-
fers upon me, in choosing me to pre-
side over your deliberations. The
cordiality of your greeting excites my
grateful sensibilitics.
We have assembled rs the represen-
tatives of two hundred and fifty thou
sand voters of the state of Ohio,
known as the Democratic party, to or
ganize the political campaign of 1870
TO unfurI again their broad banner,
and inscribe upon it the tenets of our
political faith. In measuring the i'm
portance of this struggle in which we
are about to enter, we should not con
fine ourselves to the consideration of
the fact that we are to nominate three
or four candidates for state offices, but
we should bear in mind constantly
that in addition to these three or four,
nineteen members of the Federal Con
gres are to be elected. And although
you may carry your state ticket, it
does not follow that the great reforms
the country calls for can be carried
out unless you shall acquire the feder-
al power that will enable you to con-
troll the acts of Congress. Let it be
borne in mind, too, that the selection
has an additional significance, from
the fact that the members of Congress
that you will be called on to elect this
fall will hold over until after the next
presidential election, and, perchance,
in the event of the election being
thrown into the House of Representa-
tlves, may be develved upon them
the choice of the next President of the
United States.
1t would, gentlemen of the conven--
ton, be an act of impertinence in me
to suggest or attempt to dictate to
you what should be the character of
this campaign. For my own part, 1
shall be quite satisfied if, in your wis
dom, you see fit simply to declare, in
general terms, that we are opposed to
all that the Republican party has done
for the last five years [applausel, if in
addition to that you will declare that
you are opposed to all they are
now doing; for of the last two acts of
any Importance, one is an act by which
they have made the most magnificent
grab of the public domain that is
