The Pennsylvania Democracy

The Democratic Convention in
Pennsylvania met on Wednesday last
and made nominations of candidates
for the different Offices to be voted
for at the October election. The
Ohio platform, which was so much
denounced by the opposition because
of the soundness of its Democracy,
was adopted almost without modifi-
cation. It contains a denunciation
of the bayonet usurpation Of the
State government in Louisiana. Mr..
R. Milton Speer, who in Congress
voted for the salary grab, was re-
CON mended for permanent Presi-
dent, but the announcement of his
name met with storm Of opposition
from the Convention. Every mem
Der who attempted to defend him
was Kissed off the floor. Another
name had to be substituted in his
place, and the platform condemns the
salary steal. This is very different
fran the action of the Virginia Radi-
cal Convention, where such resolu-
ton was allowed to sleep on the ia
bic. The Radicals, like Carpenter
and Butler, all secretly defend the
measure, and have no idea Of allow
ing it to be repealed next winter.
And thus the Democracy of Penn
sylvania are wheeling into line and
taking their places with the other
States, preparatory to square fight
in 1876 on the old party measures,
under the old party colors. Under
no other organization is there any
hope of the salvation of the Re
public.

Communicated.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
The reply of the "Ohfcial Jour
nal' to my second communication,
was such a complete back down
and acknowledgements of t b g
charges, proven charges, | brought
against him, and so meekly done,
that I cared not to make rejoin-
der, as had succeeded in my Oh
ject, and honestly believed these
grave and palpable errors a n d
overcbarges would never occur
again. But to my establishment
they have been repeated and re-
newed, and I must again crave
your indulgence in exposing,
thorugh your columns, the fraud
ulent fees charged in the last num-
Der of the "Official Journal" and
must now express my decided opin-
ion that there is a systematic and
palpable effort in thus making
these charges, which the Editor
can but know are wrong and clear
~ against the law and all rules Of
private charges. To be plain aud
to the facts: the "Citizens Bank Of
Louisiana is charged nine squares,
fifty four dollars, when it contains
only seven squares, forty two dol
lars, being all excess charge of only
twelve dollars; and this too in the
type of the Editor, when bring it
down to the law it should be but
six squares, thirty six dollars
Again the "Sheriff's advertisement
of martha Martin Tutrix &C." is
marked down four squares, twenty
dollars, when no measurement OIL
earth can make it but three squares,
and should he eighteen dollars
And then in this last advertise
ment, in making a false charge, the
printer must have been under ex-
element, for to carry out his four
squares measurement and six times,
instead of five. he omitted to charge
twenty four dollars, which really
makes the overcharge in this short
advertisement six dollars.
Now, Mr. Editor, to be plain,
wish to warn once more the pub
lie and poorly distressed and per
secuted debtors of these plain, pal
pable and really systematic over.
charges of the "Official Journal
when every one, not blinded by
rejudice and who is not an idiot
can but perceive and know, that
this cute system is any thing but
fair dealing and correct in law and
and practice; and should be dis.
countenanced and abated.

LOUISVILLE INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.
The second National Industrial Ex-
position at Louisville opened on the
second of September. In an invita-
ton extended to the editor of this
paper we learn that the Directors of
the Exposition have perfected every
arrangement necessary to making the
display the grandest and most varied
ever seen in this country. Those
who attended the Louisville EXPOSE
ton last year can recall the pleasure
and surprise which they felt on en-
tering the vast building, filed with
it's treas ures of Art, Industry, Me-
chanism, Handiwork, and Scientific
collections. We are promised this
year even a greater and more attrac-
tive display. Anticipating this, no
one can afford to forego the enjoy
ment Of spending day or more in
the Louisville Exposition. Reduced
rates by Railroad and River have
been secured, which will enable par
ties to visit the Exposition at COM
paratively small expense. The in
creased Hotel accommodations and
travelling facilities in Louisville, to-
gether with the natural attractions of
the city will make a visit to that
place in September or October both
pleasant and profitable.

Gov. Moore, Gen. Sherman and the
III Military Academy.

Anecdotes OF L uOllc Men, PUBLISH
ed in his Washington paper, is devo-
ted to the above subject. Though
containing several egregious blum
ders, the facts stated are in Che main
correct. Governor Moore, being in
tensely Southern and devoted to the
interests of his section, did indeed
center into the contest with his whole
heart" and he, moreover, well de-
served Colonel Forney's compliment
of being a "a bold, energetic man,
full of resources.
So did General Sherman in truth
resign the Presidency of the Military
Academy because of secession, and
because he considered his paramount
allegiance due to the United States
government. With his usual fore
sight, too, he knew the Southern peo-
pie would fight, and fight courage
ously. But be did not resign to ''of-
fer his services to Lincoln" He
told his friends before leaving that
he would never take up arms against
the South; and it was some time be-
fore he entered the Northern army.
He went to st. Louis and got posi-
ton in o street Rail Road Company
and wrote to his friends here that he
Wa happy and contented. He would
not take command until he could
name his own terms. AS soon as he
entered the army he gave it as his
opinion that it would take 100000
men to conquer Kentucky alone;
which so enraged Cameron and the
other civil wiseacres who conducted
! the war, that Sherman narrowly es-
capped a ]unatic asylum. But before
his Introduction could be pronounced
he succeeded in spreading his mala-
dy among high officials to such an
extent as to get all the men he want
ed. With these he marched to the
sea. But for this march Grant, with
his known sto]iiitv and bullheaded-
ness, might have been, even to this
day, butting out the brains Of his ar
my against Lees lines at Peters
burg.
Colonel Forney makes q very lu-
dicrous mistake in describing the
Academy building near Alexandria,
as it appeared to him when he pass
ed up the river in 1872, three gears
after 1t had been totally destroyed By
fire. He wakes eloquent over the in
scription above the main entrance,
its removal in the days of secession,
and its subsequent voluntary restora-
ton by those who have had charge
of the institution since the war. The
only thing left Of the building, in
anything like entirety, is that front
door, over which may still be plainly
read: ''By the Liberality of the Cen
eral Government; the Union, este
perpetual" But it looks down on the
tents of a whole battalion of Federal
troops, thus giving the place, in the
thirteenth year after the secession Of
Louisiana, more martial appear
ance than it ever had from 1861 to
1865, Even Sherman, with all his
foresight, never expected the North
to keep up the war to this day, and
under such disgraceiul circum-
stances
