A Saratoga correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun says:
Several English gentlemen who are
making their tour around the globe
have been stopping here for several
days. They say that Saratoga and it's
surroundings remind them very much
of Baden Baden, although everything
here is on a much larger scale. These
gentlemen express much astouishment
at the high prices exacted for the mos
trivial services at our watering places
They do not understand how it is that
the high-toned colored gentleman who
blacks your boots or brushes your coat
considers it an insult to be offered less
than twenty-five cents for each Of these
little attentions, when in England a
similar service would be regarded as
amply requitted by the tender Of a PEN
ny. They cannot help thinking it
little odd that the boy who brings a
pitcher OF water to your room looks at
you as if you were wild animal il you
do not bestow upon him a
gratuity; that the porter who rush
es up and takes from you by main
force your satchel and umbrella, which
you would much prefer carrying your
self, expects to be literally compensa-
ted for his officious impertinence; and
that the distinguished looking person.
age with swallow-tail coat and a paste
diamond as big as hazel nut glittering
in his shirt front, who stands behind
you at the table, keeps you waiting for
your dinner until you are nearly fam
ished, and then brings it to you cold,
will make the most insolent remarks II
you neglect to divide with him the
contents of your pocket book. All these
things which are very familiar to us
Americans are past the comprehension
Of Englishmen. These gentlemen on
their arrival here felt the need OF a lit,
tie brandy to wash the dust out OF their
throats. After partaking Of the same
it was with some difficulty they were
convinced that the smiling bar tender
was not perpetratiDg joke upon them
in demanding fifty cents per drink.
Speaking of brandy, reminds me OF the
one redeemipg feature OF the Canadian
inns. Ten cents per drink ia the ruling
rate for the best Hennessy brandy. This
fact is soon discovered by Americans
travelling in Canada, and the result lie
that Hennessy is the staple article OF
diet until the border is crossed.

The National Trans.AlleRheny
Canal.

A Convention is announced to bt
held at Cumberland on the 10th inst
of the friends OF the National Trans
Allegheny Canal" to connect the Ohio
and Potomac rivers by the way Of the
Youghiogbeny river, to be held under
the joint auspices of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company and the
Youghiogheny River Navigation Com
psny. We acknowledge the courtesy
of an invitation to be present. says the
Philadelphia Record, aud 80 far as this
implies that we recognise the value OF
water communication between the
Ohio and our Atlantic seaboard we may
say that no one is more impressed with
it's advantages than ourselves. We
would forward any such enterprise by
all legitimate instrumentalities, il need
ed in addition to railroads. But as the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company
already stands near $20,000,0O0 to
Maryland, we would not, if we could,
have the State put anything more into
that improvement. Yet, as to the benefit
OF canals for heavy transportation there
can be no doubt, especially for moderate
distances, in conveying peculiar local
product like coal.
In this connection we see it stated
that in Buffalo, NY, exception is taken
to the statement that the Erie canal
cannot carry the products of the west.
The capacity OF that canal, with its full
dimensions and double locks, when they
are completed, is 250,000,000 bushels
OF grain in a season of 900 days, which
is said to be more than half OF the en-
tere shipment OF western grain to the
seaboard. II there were an assurance
of an honest andJntelligent management
o: the State canals OF New York they
would soon be put in a condition to
secure the trade of the west; but it is a
tact that they don't pay. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal was originally,
like the James River and Kanawhs
Canal, a conception OF General Wash
ington's for uniting the waters OF the
Ohio and the Atlantic seaboard-when
railroads we're not dreamed Of. Vir-
ginia has spent nearly twelve millions
upon her enterprise and is now willing
to give what Is spent and look to the
general government for its completion.
Maryland has nearly twenty millions
in the bonds, stock and interest OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio clnal, which for
nearly quarter of century have teen
looked upon ss almost worthless. DUR
ing the last two or three years it has
promised to be a source of some reve.
nue., paying a potion Of the back inter"
est on certain classes of bonds-not
half enough to the State, however, to
cover the interest on the accumulated
obligations, and if the approaching con.
ventiou shall devise come other than
additional State aid (Which our consti-
tuition does not admit of, to render its
assets generally productive, it will be q
matter of congratulation to the friends
of that enterprise and the puclic gene
rally.

The Republicans are to formally
open the campaign at Athens on the
23d of August, on which occasion
Senator Morton and Governor Noyes
are announced to blow their bugles.
The people will then be told how ex-
ceedingly dangerous it will be for
them to restore to power the Demo-
cracy that up to the breaking out of the
war had given to the country "the best
government the sun ever shone upon,
and made its people the most pros
porous on the face of the earth.2 We
viii then be informed how necessary
it is that the party of ''Christian
statesmen" and ffloyal patriots, /" that
empties the peoples purses into the
public treasury, and the4public treas
ury into the pockets of party favor
ties should be kept in power.

1vhat thex Cou1d Have Done.

The Sandusky Register, Radical
paper, thus plainly and emphatically
speaks its mind as to what its party
could have done: f.a-if
The Republican members Of Con-
gress could have voted down the IN
crease of salary bill; a Republican
President could have vetoed the bill
after it had been passed by corrupt
Congress, and a Republican adminis-
tration could have kept its hands of
the Louisiana disgrace, and left the
responsibility of dealing with the cor
rupt factions of New Orleans with
the people of that State.
And yet they did none of this. Still
the Radical conventions everywhere
express unimpaired confidence in
General Grant, and attempt to shirk
the responsibility of the acts which
they had abundant power to prevent.

A LETTER written by Hon. W. S.
Groesbeck to gentleman in New
York, dated the 9TH of May, has just
made its appearance in the papers, in
which that gentleman faVors a reor-
ganization of the elements opposed to
the Grant party under the name Of
& Liberal Democracy" A careEal
reading OF the letter shows no dispo-
sition or desire on the part of the
writer to abandon any of the princi-
pies of the Democratic party, or to
add any new articles to our creed He
would have the new party oppose all
forms of monopoly, oppose central
ization and advocate home govern
ment in all local affairs; make free
tradSone of its cardinal principles,
and favor strict construction of the
Constitution. In such an organization
any true Democrat would feel quite
at home, and with such platform it
is difficult to see the necessity of
changing the present name of the
party.

GOVERNOR MOVES don't want the
Senatorial question agitated during
the campaign, oh no. But he is noto-
riously a candidate and would like to
have the pins set up for him sec reilly
and quietly. Ohio has never been
more faithfully and creditably repre-
sented in the Senate than by Hon.
Allen G.. Thurman. He has made no
mistakes. He has uniformally voted
for the intereats of the people against
the monopolists, corruptionists and
plunderers. He opposed and voted
against the scheme to plunder the
treasury known as the increased saIa-
ry bill and when the measure had
been passed in Congress with nearly
two-thirds Republican majority and
signed by Republican President, he
at once covered back into the Treasu-
ry the amount to which he was enti-
tied under the BILL Yet Governor
Noyes and his minions are after his
scalp. We rather think the people
have little interest in this question
and that it is one which will not down
at the bidding of the corruptionists.

THERE is a vast amount of tWaddle
afloat these days about The necessity
OF the Democratic party abandoning
its organization in order to secure an
united opposition to, and the over
throw of, the plunderers who have
fastened themselves like teaches upon
the government. There is neither
sense nor reason in all this, and it all
grows out of the silly prejudice of
the factions to the name of our old,
time-honored organization. We have
in our party over 100000 voters in
this State, attached to its principles
and policy, and who cherish. just
pride in its history and achievements.
1t is not mere faction, but q compact
organization, having all the machinery
of an organized party in the Union,
and in all the States, counties and
election precincts. 1t has cherished
principles handed down to us from
the fathers of the Republic, which it
cannot surrender without basely aban-
doning the principles upon which the
Federal Union was founded. 1t is the
party of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
Jackson and their compatriots-names
ever held sacred by every Democrat.
It is so firmly fixed in its opposition
to the nsurpations, tyranny and COR
ruptions of the present administra-
ton rulers, and as fixed in its purpose
to bring about reform as it is posi-
BILE for any new party to be. 1t is the
opponent of special privileges and
monopolies, and the firm and un-
finchiug advocate of the equal rights
of the people and of the States. In
the past such has been its policy and
its success in the administration of
the government upon just principles
that even its ancient enemies rose up
and called it blessed. At the outset
of the rebellion they declared that the
government, which had unfortunately
fallen into their hands, was F'the best
government the sun ever shone upon,
and its people the most happy and
prosperous upon the face of the earth" ."
These were the achievements of the
Democracy to which every member
of that organization refers with pride.
If it is incapable of bringing back
a return of those halcyon days, it is
either because it has not the numerical
strength to accomplish the herculean
task, OF, having it, by frauds upon the
people and the ballot-box, it is des-
poiled of its just power.
That the Democracy is not tena-
cious. of mere names and forms is
abundantly evidenced by its action
last fall, when it patriotically sacri-
feed its own tried and trusted leaders
and rallied around the standard of
lifelong political opponent. If the
factions who have cut loose from
the Radical corruptionists and those
who are weary and sick of the misrule
which is cursing the country, honestly
and earnestly desire reform, let them
emulate the noble EXAMPLE of the De-
mocracy last fall, abandon their preju-
dice against a mere name, and rally
uader the time-honored old banner
and march forth to certain and glo-
rious victory.
q Let US then be UP and doing.''

IT WAS PITT who declared that con-
fidence is plant of slow growth. y
But he uttered that sentiment before
the days of American Radicalism. =
Confidence, like hope, springs eternal
in Radical ''buzzoms" And nothing
can tend in the least to shake their
faith. in General Grant, it is grounded
as upon a rock. The exposure OF his
connection with Jim Fisk and Jay
Gould. the exposure of the $4,000
profits of Mrs. Grant in the black
Friday" affair, the exposure of the
Murphy, Leet and Stocking custom
house frauds, the exposure of the
brother-in-law Corbin business, the
exposure of his nepotism, his San
Domingo job, his hartering of official
stations for valuable gifts, his usurpa-
ton and tyranny in Louisiana-in
oyerthrowing the government of the
people, and by the bayonet setting up
the rule of the carpet-bag thieves, his
endorsement of the salary-grab, by
which he puts 100000 extra pay in
own pockets, are all approved by
them. None of these things tend in
the least to shake their confidence in
Ulysses the First. With them 'Ethe
king can do no wrong" But is it not
about time the people should awake
to the enormities that are committed
against their rights and interests, in
the name of loyalty and patriotism?
Is it not about time that the silly pratt
tie of the plunderers about Democrat
ic disloyalty and copperheadism and
secession sympathies should cease to
alarm the people into supporting a set
ofmen who are robbing them of their
substance, and converting the govern
ment into centralized despotism
