We learn, by letter from the manager
of the Apply Concert Troupe, that they
will be in our city in few weeks and favor
our citizens with some Of their excellent
vocal and instrumental music. The troupe
consists of Mr. Henry Apply, the world
renowned violinist, whose reputation was
fully established some twenty years ago
as the violinist at the farewell concerts, in
this country, of Jenny Lind Mr.. VIM. Nc
Donald, the popular tenor Of the Kellogg
troupe, and unrivaled Scotch balladist !;
Miss Nellie Freeman, the California prima
donna, and Master Leo Paul, the unrival-
ed Juvenile pianist, only IA years Of age.
The CONCERT LAST EvEHING.-Those
of our citizens who failed to attend the
"Appy Concert" last evening at Union
Hall missed great treat We do notneed
TO refer at length to the artists compcs-
ing this first-class troupe, for with the ex-
ception OF Miss Freeman, the prima donna,
all are well known to fame. Mr. Appy's
fame as violinist is too well established
to need any words of praise from US, and
the many friends that Mr. Macdonald has
here, who listened to his sweet singing
when he was here with Ole Bull and the
Clara Louise Kellogg troupe, will not re-
qulre any assurance of ours that he ives
fully up to his old standard. Taken as q
whole, the Apply Concert party presents
the most artistic and enjoyable musical
treat that visits us, and we hope soon to
have the pleasure of noting their return.

GEN. WM. B. Thomas, heretofore q
leading Republican, has deserted that cor
rupt organization and joined the Democ-
racy. He addred a large gathering in
Philadelphia, which We find reported in
The Age as follows:
General William B. Thomas followed.
He said he was here tor the purpose of ad-
dressing Republicans. He did not care
what the Democracy thought of him or
his course. His argument was entirely
directed to the conversion of these sin
ners for whom there is yet hope. Heclalm-
ed that there is no Republican party to-
day, and he believed that the result Of the
coming election would show that the peo-
pie had buried It, When slavery was
abolished, the anti-slavery party died
willingly natural death. But the mem
bers of the socalled Republican party
were trying to galvanize corpse bringing
forth vile and creeping things.
The General alluded to the peculations
of Hodge and Evans, and continued at
considerable length in denouncing in for
chile terms the corruptness of our oppo-
nsnts. His remarks were frequently in
terrupted by laughter and applause. He
concluded by announcing that he had
come over entirely to the Democratic par
ty, and was utterly opposed to the Re
publican nominees and the Republican
party, and affirmed his faith in the posi-
tive success of the Democratic ticket at
the October election.

The Massachusetts, Democratic State
Convention, which met at Springfield on
the l4th inst, was presided over by Edw.
Avery, of Braintree. Three hundred and
seventeen cities and towns were represent
ted by l,O44 delegates. @-is
John Quincy Adams was nominated for
Governor by acclamation.
Judge Abbott and Colonel Charles G..
Greene; of Boston George w. Gill, Wor-
cester, and G. n, Stearns. of Chicapee
were chosen delegates at large to the Dem
'ocratic National GonventiOn3i1g isi. q RI
Resolutions were adopted demanding a
reform in the National Administration
and free amnesty and equal rights in the
South accepting also the new amend
ments and the ''new departure" !" calling
for a reform in taxation and tariff for rev.
enue only; denouncing prohibitory and
State .Constabulary laws, and declaring
against Rsilroad mOnopolies and iaoorsing
the candidates nominated. -. ~
If Ben Butler should succeed in secur-
ing the radical nomination for Governor
we believe the election of Mr. Adams may
be regarded as certainty. :s.

How it tisInLonIsIann. is

The condition of affairs in Louisiana
may be gathered from portion oft late
charge of Judge Abel, of the Criminal
Court, to the Grand Jury, sitting at New
Orleans. He said:
~ have presided long in this Court, and
have some idea of the extent ofthe depre-
dations and plumber of burglars, thieves,
etc., and am satisfied that the officials OF
the State have, in two years, plundered
the State of more than all the thieves etc.,
for the last quarter of century. Fraud
speculation, oppression extortion and
blackmailing are resorted to IN a most un-
scrupulous manner.
"The millions raised by the two per
cent tax and the vast amount of licenses
will be absorbed, at least one-half of it be-
ing consumed by corrupt officials and
merciless brokers, and those official econ
mists who manage, out of salary of ten
thousand dollars year, to save the snu G
little sum of quarter of million
"Six hundred and fifty thousand people
see millions of money wrung from their
pockets, and at least ons-half Of it appro-
priated in the most corrupt manner to in
dividual aggrandizement."
The end of this dark page in the history
Of Louisiana, Judge Abel thinks, will be
Bankruptcy, and, perhaps, future repudi-
alton"

have done nothing as yet. Let every

what is required. Il is what tells the

Way don't our Radical cotemporaries
proceed to point a moral and adOrn an

about the 10000. 900, which Boutwell, says
has been stolen by Radical Revenue Col-
lectors; about the pirate Gibbs who
wrecked and robbed the Golden Rule Of
$S0Oo.0 900 of government treasure, and
was then taken into the bosom Of the Adj

in fact the unnumbered millions that are
being stolen by Radical officials? We shall
possess our soul in patience awaiting a

THE NATIONAL TREASURY RING.

Not by any Democratic newspaper o.
correspondent, but by the Commercial
AdreTtiser, the most consistent and the
most respectable advocate in New York
city of the Grant administration, it is dig.
tinctfy admitted that the defaulting pay.
master Hodge owed his long-continued
opportunities for plundering the Federal
Treasury to the scandalous and criminal
c1relessness of the chief Of his depart
ment. The language of the Commercial,
Adusrtiser on this point is SO clear and
explicit that We transfer it to our col
umns
As the facts relative to the defalcation
of Paymaster Hodge sppear the careless
ness Of the chiefs OF his department is
made manifest. The voucher to which
suspicion was directed was drawn in 1865,
and twice since then, viz, in 1857 and in
1871, Hodge has been newly commissioned
and has filed new bonds. On each of these
occasions it was requisite that his ac-
counts should be thoroughly examined
and closed up. Had this been done before
the new responsibility to the government
was assumed the existing irregularity
would have been discovered and the
soundness of General Brice's singular and
long-continued confidence IN Hodge would
have been brought to practical test. 1t
remains for the Pay Department to ex-
plain their obvious neglect of duty. Or
binary prudence requires an examination
Of accounts at frequent intervals. In this
case the regulations Of the Office and the
rules Of military discipline required 1T. 1t
was omitted because Of favoritism, and
from the vicious system which has pre-
vailed in the Pay Department, sch0Se chef
IS, By has hGbStS, incdpdeitated for dong
Business, and a0ho lends an easy faith TO
Others .1hiIe he 1leglects the affairs of has
OaC1a office.
We have no doubt that the Commercial
Adrertisey has here exactly hit upon the
fountain and origin of these scandals in
the Pay Department. Under chief
whose habits incapacititate him for buSi-
ness, and who lends an easy faith to others
while he neglects the affairs of his own
Office" it is in the natural course of things
that subordinates should fall into tempta-
ton. But this explanation carries further
and hits more vitality than the Commercial
Advertiser probably intended that it
should. The AdVertiseI's description of an
incompetent chief of the Pay Department
under the Secretary of War is the best
portrait that could be painted of the ac-
tual chief of the URited States govern
ment a.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1871-09-28

IT is true that we favored the construc-
tion of water works but had we foreseen
that the Democratic council would insist
upon keeping the city's money in their
own pockets in direct violation of the law,
We would have opposed the measure un-
til honest, law abiding citizens could have
been placed in power This attempt to
saddle upon Us the lniquities Of the Schae-
fer and Worley committee will not deceive
ANYBODY. The Democrat used to glory in
its shame; but now, forsooth, it would
like to fasten the odlum upon Republi-
cans. Everybody knows that the best
answer to the Democrats howl about high
taxes is found right here in Canton where
