TIE PRESIDENTS INAUGURAL
AS WRITTEN BY DOM PIATr.


The following admirable address,
prepared for President Grant by Dom
i'iatt, a well known newspaper CORES
pondent i'll Washington, was not used
ON the occasion Of his second inaugu-
ration so Dom printed it in the CAPI-
TOL, which 50 diSpleased the President
that he attempted to have the edition
containing it suppressed by the police
of Washington, but failed, and over
twenty five thousand copies OF the paper
containing this address and several
other pungent criticisms by Piatt upon
the Presidents course were sold the
dav of the Inauguration:

WHLT i BRAI-E Nan DID.

One night, in the long galleries of an
immense convent at Castro. during the
retreat of Sir John Moore immediately
preceding the battle of Corunna, sew
eral thousand British soldiers were
sleeping heavily. exhausted by the IA
tigucs Of the past day. and 10y the even
ing OF revclry which had followed.
The corridor below was completely
filled bv the horses Of the men and of
the artillery These were packed 50
closely that there was no room TO pass
between them. and there was but one
door of entrance.
At a late hour of the night, two Off
GERS who were crossing the bridge of
Castro perceived that one Of the shut
terS of the convent was on fire, and
that the flame was fast spreading to
thereof above. Theperil was extreme.
! for had chance spark fallen on the
straw beneath. the whole would have
blazed up at once, and hundreds at
least of those senseleSs men who Law
sleeping there in the deep stupor of in

to the convent, and making his way
into the corridor, Ieaped on the back
Of the nearest horse On he sprang
from horse to horsc-for there was no
room to move in any other way it was
l -.
and steady nerves he went bounding on
over that living bridge
VIII he he IN time Already the
flames are licking the rafters Of the
roof above, and the wood is old and
rotten.
One more flying leap and he has
gained the window; the next moment
he is tearing away frantically at the
shutter, TO loosen it from its hinges.
1t was a moment Of fearful excite
mcut One false step now, one cruel
spark. and all his work would be III
vain: he and the doomed men he was
irving to save would alike have been
crushed or stitied or burnt to death,
amongst the falling ruins Still he
kept his place at that giddy height,

through moments which seemed like

Of tIaming wood was loose in his hands.
Then, with one final desperate effort,
ne hurled it down, as far as he could,
into the courtyard beneath, there to
shoulder and burn itself into a white
J ash. and do no harm to any one.

down afterwards and realized what he
had done-done all alone, too, and 81

On Friday, August 22d, we wrote
an article which appeared in tho Re-
publican of the 9th, headed, "why
not Arbitrato." To show that some
body else was thinking about the
same subject about the same time, VIC
clip from the Pittsburgh Posi- of the
23d tho following:
An Ev1L.--Therc is an evil under
tho sun which should be romcdied and
which could be remedicd by the State
Convention soon TO assemble. IL is
that which occurs in districts composd
OF more than one country, when as
prants for nomination and their con.
ierees stubbornly keep up the fight
and refuse TO give way for the sake of
peace. rf
There have been some instances of
that in our State Politics, and as in
law there is said to be no wrong with
out remedy, why cannot so sound q
principle bc made practical in our
party conventions and conferences p
We therefore throw out the sugges.
ton that some delegate TO the State
Contention offer resolution cmbody.
ing tho idea following;
Re,olred, That u al cases in which tho oon.
ferces in district conference shall after said con.
iercnoo has been In session for one day. have faled
TO make nomination, Il shall be the duty Of ,be
State Committee to decide who shall be the caud.
date Ia that district.
All disputes of this nature tcnd 10
weaken the efficiency of the party, as
an organization aud il is always of
vastly moro Importance that a sound
Democrat should DO chosen, than IL is
which Democrat among tho aspirants
shall obtain the nomination.
We do not know who penncd that
article, but We do know that this
writer's mind was drifting in tho right
direction, and the rule, il applied to
county nominations, would work lust
as woIl as If applied 10 District ncmi.

The Siafe Conrsniion.

This body met at Wilkes Barro on
Wednesday, the 9th of August, and
nominated JAMES r, LUpLow, of Phil
odelphia, for Supreme Judge, and
FRANK NJ. HUTCHINSON, of Pittsburg
for State Treasurer. They were both
nominated on the second ballot. Mr.
Ludlow is one of the Common Pleas
Judges in Philadelphia and Mr., Hutch.
inson is the Treasurer ofthe Pillshurg
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. =
The nominations are polite and the
very best that could have been made.
AS evidence of this We quote from
Forney's Press, the very highest Radi-
cal authority in the State. In allud-
ing to tho nominees the editor says:
| To the nominees Of the convention no objection
can be made, except that they are Democrats who
have followed the fortunes Of their party through
all its tortuous windugs, aud participated in all
its crimes For Supreme Judge James h. Lud-
low, Esq judge Of the Court of Common Pleas Of
Philadelphia county, was nominated The con
venton could not have chosen a gentleman Of
greater abilities for the head Of tho tckel, or one
who commands in higher degree tho respect Of
his itllow-citiEens of both parties. For many
years be has been an ornament to the bench and
bar Of this eity-as judge upright and impartial,
who has never allowed political Lias TO warn his
decisions and an advocate and author able and
erudtc. Mr.. Frank NJ. lIuchinson, Of Allegheny,
business man Of high character, was nominated
for the State Treasurorship.
Our townsman, Judge Barrett, re-
ceived II votes on the first ballot for
Supreme Judge, and our Philipsburg
neigbbor, Ex.Sheriff Perks, received
33 votes in the first ballot for State
Treasurer. A. W. Lee was our Rep
resentativc Delegate, and James p
Hale, of Osccola, was our Senatorial
Delegate.
The proceedings of the Convention
were eminently proper and the reso.
lutions adopted excellent. The Dele
gatcs discharged their whole duty ex-
cept in one particular. SAM Josephs
should have been expelled. 1t is true
he kept his seat BY but one vote, and
It may prove warning to him never
to show his face in Democratic con.
vcntion again s.'i ~ H.a ru
We are pleased at the treatment the
Congressional back-pay grabbcrs re-
ccived. At least half dozon of those
fellows had themselves manufactured
into delegates and lowered around the
Convention for the purpose of over
aweing the body, but they were hissed,
kicked out aud condemned in o very
decided manner. Tho Convention
was evidently not a machine moved
and controlled by one man, like the
late Radical Convention, but each
member declared bis independence,
his manhood, demanded his
rights and denounced wrong every
whero. 1t was real Democratic |
body. We viii publish the proceed.
ings in full next week.

Musr DE SHORT. The editor of the
Rereiae, although he sticks very close
to his business, seems 10 be short OF
copy, from the fact that ho has taken
to discussing private business and pub.
fishing extracts from private letters.
We surrender. We cannot compete
with him in that line, although we
have lots Of such letters on hand
Besides, We prefer not to discuss pri.
vate affairs in our columns, but would
rather gil the space in our humble
way, from now until October, in de-
tending the Democratic party and its
candidates against the assaults Of its
enemies. We believe that is our duty,
and we will discharge it as best we
can, If we are scalped by the Modocs.
