THE DEMOCRACY.

There is no cause for and no reason in
the DISCRIMINATION Of the Democratic par
ty. The Presidential canvass should b.
conducted on basis of honor and principle,
not of political bargain and arrangement.
Let the anti-Grant Republicans stay out Of
the Grant nominating convention, and thus
avoid the slightest suspicion of committing
themselves to him. Let them advocate
their own honest views and pursue that
course which they honestly believe right
and principle require. The Democracy
will do the same. Let those who believe
the present administration to be unfaithful
andcorrupt and tending finally to despotism
or anarchy light it with might and main.
Do this and the future will take care of
ITSELF The progress of the canvass will
show that those who think alike will have
no difficulty in acting together when the
needed hour for cooperation comes. The
DISCRIMINATION ofthe Democracy would not
only weaken it by the lack and loss of discip-
line, but would also, if the Democracy be
half SO obnoxious to Republicans as those
who favor Reorganization would have us
believe, weaken the anti-Grant Republican
organization.

MORE RADICAL CORRUPTION In
SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Washington Patriot states that a Gu
rious fact has come to light about the South
Carolina contested election case of the biga-
mist Bowen against the negro DeLarge, the
sitting member. 1t appears that the attor
ney employed by DeLarge to take testi-
mony is his behalf, refuses to surrender the
testimony, or to file it with the election
committee, who are ready to proceed to the
consideration of the case INN edistely after
the holidays. The attorney, it is report
ed, demands $500 for the testimony,
which his client is unwilling and
unable to pay. The case is, there
fore, likely to go by default in favor of
Bowen. The extraordinary conduct of the
lawyer is alleged by the friends of De large
to be occasioned by a corrupt agreement
with Bowen. De Large was elected in the
Charleston district, defeating Bowen, who
represented the district in the last Congress.
The inspectors of election in Beauford, stuff
ed the ballot-box with De Large tickets,and
were convicted at the spring term OF the
United States Court in Charleston, and SEN
fenced to prison. If the whole vote of the
poll where this fraud was practiced
is thrown out, and there is no
proof of frauds committed by
Bowen's friends, he viii be entitled to the
seat. Both the contestants are Radicals.
Bowen was prevented from taking any &C
tive steps in a contest during the spring
session by his trial and conviction for
bigamy, and his friends At that time claimed
that he was prosecuted through the instiga-
ton of the friends of De Large, to prevent
his contesting the latter's seat. After he
was pardoned by Grant, he ran for the State
Senate in Charleston, and was triumphantly
elected. De Large rests his case upon a
claim that there was fraudulent voting for
Bowen on one of the Sea Islands, and the
testimony, suppressed by the attorney, is
said to prove that such was the case.

the fate Of the great explorer, the Herald
has actually organized an expedition s.regard-
less OF expense, and sent isaway into the
unexplored recesses of Africa to hunt ND
the missing traveller. The first fruits of
this gigantic enterprise we have in five
column report from the expedition, pub
lished with many fiourishes and sub-heads,
and paraded ostentatiousiy before the en-
iightened inhabitants of Gotham. In ad-
dition to this, nearly a column and half
Of editorial calls attention to the report and
sings praises to the enterprising Ben
nett. We are informed In this
elaborate report that the Commissions"
with his little army of attendants and
servants had, on the 4th Of July last reached
Unyanyembe, exactly 1854 miles from Bago-
moyo, on the east coast Of Africa, opposite
Zanzibar. The journey was, Of course,
attended with many hardships and much
suffering, and was accomplished in shorter
time than had been made by former travel
ers. A New York Herald Commissioner"
is not man to be outdone or outwalked by
any living mortal. and this intrepid fellow
was of the true Herald mettle. While
Burton and Spoke bungled along over the
same route at the rate Of three and one
sixth miles, he accomplished the journey
at the rafting rate of six and one-quarter
miles per day. With Characteristic modesty,
however, be adds "you must not imagine
that am stating this in order to make an
invidious comparison, but simply to
show you how expeditiously we
have travelled" The route passed through the
Makata swamps distance of forty-fve miles,
and the veracious Commissioner reports
that" it is knee deep of water and black mire,
and for five days we marched through this
cataclysm." And during these five days
every mothers son in that luckless expedi-
ton suffered from the " terrible fever of
East Africa" smallpox, and dysentery.
The reporter, himself, was attacked with
fever and dysentery and in the five days was
reduced from 40 to $50 pounds avoirdu-
pois in weight. Two carriers fell victims to
this dysentery, "and," continues the vera
cious chronieler, seven the dog Omar was
attacked by it, and presently died." of
course, the expedition heard Of Livingstone.
The Herdlds readers would never be salts
fed with tidings less important. 1t seems he
is at Ujiji laid up f'om wound, and
very fat from eating rice. The
Herald reporter, however, doesn't know
whether to believe these rumors, and he
concludes in true Herald style as follows:
''Until hear more of him, or see the long
absent old man face to face, / bid you fare
well; but wherever he is, be sure l shall not
give up the chase. If alive you shall hear
what he has to say; if dead, l viii find and
bring bis bones to you"
The fate of that expedition is fixed, and
unless Livingstone makes his temperance
in civilized society, we need never expect to
hear from that Herald Commissioner again.
He'll get into some other big Mataka swamp
and go the way of his hapless dog "Omar.'

THE ~HERALD" I'm AFRICA.

The enterprise" of the New York
Herald has become proverbial. The ambi-
ton of its proprietor is to excel all other
papers in TIE variety and extent of its news,
and this laudibIe zeal has called forth some
of the most extraordinary statements Oh
various popular subjects that an intelligent
community has been asked to swallow since
the publication Of the Munchausen tales. If
the Grand Lama of Thibet shuffles ''off this
mortal coil, reporter Of the Herald is pres
ent in the death chamber 20 feel the pulse
of the dying sovereign, and the following
day the Herald contains an elaborate ac-
count of the event, the nature of the fatal
disease, and verbatim report Of the last
utterances of the great ruler. The Empe-
ror of China has difficulty with some of
his fractious subjects in a remote
province, inaccessible TO any stranger
but a Herald reporter; next mail
brings a minute account OF the
trouble, its origin, progress and issue,
with an exciting description Of the battles
between the imperial troops and the rebels,
and Homeric pictures of the wounds inflic-
ted on every mandarin engaged in the ex-
petition. The ubiquitous Herald reporter
misses nothing that "any other man. is
privileged to see, and he is usually gifted
with power to read the Utmost thoughts of
men. No Emperor or potentate refus
him an interview, and it is really marvel
lous how frank and confiding these indivi6-
uals become in the presence Of Benefits
commissioner" The most important
State secrets are divulged with reckless
ness that would strike an ordinary human
being dumb with amazamenD, bat which
never disconcets the Herald man, nor
checks the flow of his conversation. But
he has grown tired of these tame, everyday
occurrences. Any country journal can get
I'D an interview, or despatch a swift
sailing tug TO . intercept some
vessel conveying news of more than ordina-
n Importance, and to he in advance of ri
vi newspapers by such common means, is
not worth Boosting about. The Herald
has. therefore, entered new field of jour
nalism. Tired of publishing statements
respecting Livingstone one week, and deny
ing them The next, and anxious to ascertain

Mr.. HAwLEY, a Radical member from
Illinois, showed a strange ignorance Of facts
when he stated in Congress few days ago
that the Radical party had given the fran
chise to every man in the country" In
the State of Rhode Island no naturalized
citizen is permitted to exercise the elective
franchise unless he owns real estate. A
proposition to strike this provision out of
the Constitution of that State was voted
down by the Radicals few months ago.

POSTMASTER GENERAL CRESwELL
issued an order few days ago prohibiting
the presentation of New Years addresses
and the acceptance Of donations by the
letter-carriers. The reason given was that
it was demoralizing to the postal service.
But, says the Washington Patriot, this
same Postmaster General daily issues
passes to personal friends to travel over the
railroads at the expense Of the Postoffice
Department. Is this dcmoralizing, or is it
not?

RICHMOND STEAM BAKERY. - TIE
Richmond steam cracker bakery, Twelftl,
street between Main and Cary, Richard
Adam, proprietor, is one of the most inn
portant establishments of our city. 1t is
most complete in its appointments, and
withal so elegantly fitted up and neat in APP
pearance, that it credtably bears the
closest inspection. Every description of
cracker, biscuit, snaps, &C., are here man.
ufactured in large quantities, the work be-
ing almost wholly performed by machinery
run by steam.
The consumption of crackers in Rich
mond and surrounding country is very
large, and the establishment of Mr.. Adam
is doing large share OF the business. His
brands are fast superceding those of Boston
and Baltimore, as they are in no respect
inferior to the best made anywhere and
it is found much cheaper, as it is always
the better policy, TO support home enter
prise. We take pleasure in referring to
this establishment as worthy of the sup
port of dealers and consumers. Fresh
pies and cakes are also largely produced at
Mr.. Adams bakery, with which families
can be supplied at low rates and those
who are so inclined-and who is not ?-can
step into the neat little saloon attached and
enjoy the rare luxury of rich pie and pure
milk.
