zhe mission to England.

1t will be remembered how the Rad
ical press and politicians assailed Hon.
Reverdy johnson. then Minister to
England, for his efforts to settle the
I" Alabama claims and how contemp-
tuously the convention which he ne
gotiated was rejected by the q. S.
Senate. Well, President Grant has
been in power now, and his Minister,
Motley, has been in England, year,
and now the New York Sun demands
Motley's recall, for the reason that
" he is, practically, the greatest snob
now living. He has dukes and duch-
esses, earls and barons to dinner, and
sends word home to the Administra-
ton of his triumphs in that line. But
Of his sympathies with the progress
Of Democracy in England" says the
Sun, "there is no evidence; and the
Alabama claims make no progress in
his incompetent hands. So things go.

SENATOR Ferry, Republican, from
Connecticut, made a speech in the u.
s. Senate, lately, in favor of removing
all political disabilities from the peo-
pie of the South, in which he declared
that the Fifteenth Amendment is a
delusion and snare while these dis
abilities remain unmoYed. Senator
Morton, of Indiana, thereupon pro-
nounccd Ferry entitled to seat on
the Democratic side of the chamber,
and denounced his sentiments. Viii
lard Warner, now U. S. Senator from
Alabama, ventured the remark that
the political disabilities of the people
stood in the way of the pacification
of the, South, upon which Morton
summarily squelched poor Warner by
telling him that "if all the white
people in Alabama were enfranchised.
he (Warner) would never be returned
to the seat he now held" ."Let us
have peace"

RETRENcHMENT.--The Radicals start
ed the campaign last year under loud
sounding professions Of economy and
retrenchment. Governor Hayes de-
livered the great keynote speech of
the campaign at the Convention which
placed him in nomination, full of Bit
ter denunciation of the extravaganza
of the Democratic Legislature of the
preceding winter, and the orators of
that party filed the air with their re-
vilings. BY such means that party
succeeded in obtaining the power and
how have they redeemed their prom
ises of retrenchment /? Why, accord
ing to the Auditor of State the tax
levy for State purposes will be $500,
OOO more under the appropriations of
the Radical Legislature than under
those of the Democratic one which
the Radical orators spent SO much
time and wind last fall in reviling.
Have not the people had about their
fill of this kind of retrenchment and
economy. 3..s a,it..fs

Z HowLINe.-The Democrats of New
York having carried that State by an
overwhelming majority the Radical
papers are setting up the howl of
"fraud" " to break the force of their
defeat. We expect Congress will set
to work now to reconstruct the EN-
pire State. That's the way they would
do with one of the Southern States
that might dare to elect a Democratic
ticket. But is it not ridiculous to hear
this whine of fraud from party
which has retained its power by the
employment of the bayonet and by
the most palpable usurpations 2.

SECRETARY OF STATE.-A number
of our Democratic contemporaries have
suggested the name of William Heis-
ley, Esq, of Cleveland as candidate
for Secretary of State in the coming
State Convention. The nomination
would be good one, and we doubt
not would give satisfaction to the
Democracy of the whole State. Mr..
Heisley is an active working Demo
crat, and well qualified for the. posi-
ton for which he is named.

sold out to the Radicals, and they be

ambition of the, leaders of the tenn

DEMocRATIc PApERs.-We again
cali attention to the fact that more
free circulation of Democratic papers
among the people must be to their
benefit. Why should any farmer be
without his county paper? Why
should any Democrat, for the small
sum of two dollars per year, deny
himself the pleasure of reading a
newspaper at least once week! In
fact, most of our farmers should take
two or three papers, and no one is so
poor but that one paper, at least could
be taken in a family. We hope that
the question of newspaper circula-
ton will be taken iii hand by the
different active Democrats in Portage
county and will each have a paper
coming to his address. Look to it at
once, for the whole question depends
upon the proper enlightenment of the
people upon the issues before them.
