The fulsome resolution of the office
holders at the Republican State Convex
ton in favor of Grants Administration
provokes the Commercial to say "Evi-
IDENTIFY there was an oversight or two yes
terday at Columbus. There was no reso-
luton of sympathy with Billy McGarra-
han and Baez; and Babcock and the
Cevington Postmaster were utterly neglec-
ted. There was also a palpable omission
to approve the removal of the seat o.
Government to Long Branch"

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVEE.
TION AND SENATOR JOHN SHER-
MANS SPEECH.

THE AN TAT CONVENs
TION AND SENATOR JOHN sHER-
MANS SPEECH.
The Republican civil service refOrmers
of Ohio were completely squelched in the
late convention of the party at Columbus
and the oflce-holders, corruptionists, rot
tens and Grants tools and dirt eaters gen.
orally had everything their W way. Not
long since ex-Secretary Cox, Judge Math-
ews and Hoadley and others of Cincin-
matt published their. platform, but-they
and their platform were treated with con-
temptuous silence. The thing seems to
have been run in the Grant and John
Sherman Interest, the latter aiming to be
reelected next winter to the United States
Senate for the third ..:se.
Senator Sherman made the opening
speech of the canvass at Columbus after
the Convention adjourned. His theme
was the so-called New Departure" and of
course a defence of the Republican party
and Grants corrupt ring management of
public affairs, of all which Senator Sher-
man, if reports be true, has been a profit
able recipient. He has no faith in Demo
cratic 'acquiescence in the Amendments
saying the rule of "strict construction
applied to the Amendments would defeat
them and that without appropriate leg
i~slation, the Amendments are mere dogmas
without inherent power of enforcement"
In this way he defends the Bayonet Elec-
ton law and the Ku-Klux Act and threat
ems stronger measures. The Senator does
not like the 9TH resolution of the Demo-
cratic platform, claiming that Acts passed
by Congress are subject to repeal by some
future Congress of the people.
Now as to appropriate legislation, =
bayonet law and Ku-Klux act, &C., PROM
inent Republican leaders denounced them
in terms more violent than did Democrats /;
for example Senators Trumbull, Carl
Schurz and VIM. @. Bryant of the N. Y.
EUening Post:
Senator Trumbull opposing the KuKlux
bill said "The question before us is real
ly a question whether we viii revolution.
ize our government" in the direction of
imperialism and consolidation.
Wm. G. Bryant denouncing the same
measure said 1.-THE laws of Draco, it will
be seen, never approached this in atroci-
ty." r = 1.-THE attempt to enforce
such a law as this would make a Mexico
of our country at once" = = = 1.-THE
bill would repeal the Constitution of the
United States and revolutionize our whole
system of government" : = There
is not a line in the Constitution 10 author
ize the general government to maintain
civil order in the States. = \ = "ThiS
aetO Rebellion against the Union though
expressed in an act of Congress and sus-
tanned by an administration at Washing
ton"
Carl Schurz at st. Louis said Il de-
sire to state that agree with those who
see IN several provisions Of this bill an
encroachment of the national authority
upon the legitimate sphere of local self
government not warranted by the Consti-
tuition of this republic"

The Office holders convention lately

SAW WAsHINeToN.-old Mrs. Griner,
now living in Canton at Henry Reamsny-
6er's, on Cleveland Avenue, aged 80 years,
remembers distinctly having seen George
Washington ut Wilmington, Delaware, in
1894. The old lady is quite bright and
smart for one of her age. She says the
people gathered in large numbers to see
the great Washington when he made his
tour in that year. Mrs. Griner has for
many years been a resident ofNew Berlin,
in this county. We presume she is the
only living person in our county, and per-
haps in the State, who has seen the father
Of his country in the living body.

The Navy Department has received de-
spatches from Admiral Rodgers, command
ing the Asiatic squadron, giving details of
a fight between the Chinese on the Corean
Peninsula and the combined forces of the
Americans and Europeans connected with
the sbuadrons IN those waters. 1t appears
that about the LIST inst, the U. S. Minis
ter to China, with Admiral Rodgers made
an expedition to the Corean peninsula,
with a view of forming a treaty with the
authorities for the protection of ship
wrecked sailors of civilized nations.
ADMIRAL ROGERS DESPATCH.
The despatch from Admiral Rodgers of
which the following is the substance, was
received at the Navy department, and da-
ted at Barsu, Island of Corea, June 3, and
sent from Shanghae =
Our Minister and Corean Enjoys ex-
changed professions of amieable inten-
-tions. The Coreans made no objections to
a survey of their waters. The Monocacy,
the Palos and four steam l~sunees, under
Commander Blake, were sent June ] to
examine the river Sable at q point called
Passage on the French chart No. 2,759, at
a point where navigation was most peril
IS. Masked batteries, manned by sew
eral thousand Coreans, were umasked and
opened a heavy fire without warning up
on our people. The French ship in ad-
fought ~gallantly. Our vessels,
bearing up, drove the enemy from their
works. The tide swept all the ships past
the batteries. They anchored and threw
shells among the retreating enemy. Eight
inch shells were evidently not expected.
The Monocacy was slightly injured by
knocking upon a sunken rpck, but is now
temporarily repaired. The vessels return
ing received no fire, the enemy having
been driven from the forts. Our people
displayed great ~gallantry, and only two
were slightly wounded GsEUH
a communication was received to-day
which may open negotiations. Otherwise,
since the Coreans have met peaceful over
lures with ~unprovoked war, our forces
will Will land, and, destroying the forts,
will take such other measures as the inter
ests of civilization require.
Corea is q large peninsula In Northeast
earn Asia, bounded on the east by the Sea
of Japan, on the south by the Strait of
Corea on the west by the Yellow Sea and
the Gulf of Leao Fong. It is called Teyo-
sien by the Chinese, to whom lisa tribu-
tary, Kao-be and by the Japanese Koari
from which it derives the name of Corea.
The length of the peninsula is about 600
miles, and the width less than 40, and it
comprises about $4,000 square miles. The
capital, Kingkitas, Is situated in the cen
tire of the peninsula, on the banks of the
river Kiang.
