Political Situation Triumph Of the
Bourbons in Ohio.

Don Carlos and the legitimate Bour
bons are invading Spain with some sue
cess. So the Bourbons of Ohio concluded
they would attack the Republicans here
with the old flag of the Legitimates fly
ing That is right. The people of Ohio
are tired Of sham Democracy, and would
prefer the genuine article. And here we
have it, pure and undefiled. All that
remains of the ancient regime-the
Bourbons of Louis XVI. s time-who are
not yet buried in the catacombs were at
Columbus to disentomb the bones of the
old Democracy-to put on the old
clothes, the butternut suit with which
Vallandigham clothed the Democracy.
Here is Allen, Whitman, Thurman, Sif-
ford, Hildebrand, Newman, Eshelman,
and all that kind. associated with the
good old times of Democracy in Ohio.
There was no mistaking the color of this
convention The blunder of 1872 is not
to be committed again. The great Dem
ocratic party is no more to be swallowed
up by little squad of Liberals, and
there is no more liberality to be profess
ed. Says an old Democaat to a Liberal:
You nominated ticket, did your

erals could be made cats paws of-fer, of
course, they could be-the chestnuts
were delightful to behold, and the Lib
erals most charming cats. But since we
didn't get the chestnuts, and these cats
are trying to get them for themselves, it
is time to part company with the felines;
for we can be no worse off So the Bour-
bons come out; and the old standard cry
is raised
Wha1l be King but Charlie, o!
If it be possible to treat two such farces
as have been recently enacted at Colum-
bus seriously, we would like to speak of
their objects and their probable results.
The object is the senatorship. If another
conglomeration is gone into the Senator
will be conglomerate, for the plain rea-
son that if the Democratic party chooses
to give up its name and organization
there is no more of it, and it's men have
no right to make any special claims.
But the great Democratic party (great
even in its ruins )can not submit to a deg
radiation like that 1t might consent to
consort with Liberals, but it can not con
sent to be their slave. Hence it tells the
| Liberals that in unmistakable terms, and
defies their utmost. Now let them go
ahead with their new party, without
ideas or principles, and make what they
can of it 1t is enough to say that the
Democratic Convention has completely
wiped out all the candidates of Hamilton
county. 1t has smashed the Liberal
concern as completely as if it never ex-
| isted 1t will not even be remembered,
much less regarded In fact the term

To the People of Jackson County:
You are called upon to investigate the
political questions at this time in order
that you may decide the issues existing
between the different parties asking your
suffrage at the coming election. 1t is
well and proper that each candidate
should make known his views upon the
various questions that will most likely
arise for legislative consideration. To do
this it is necessary to enquire what are
the issues between the different parties.
l answer that the most important issue
is, Shall the people rule, or be ruled
Shall capital and the moneyed interests
of the country dictate and control legis-
lation, so as to favor and foster railroad
rings, banking institutions, spectators
and gamblers of every description, by
which fraud and corruption is propogated
at the expense of the honest yeomanry
of the country.
1t will not be denied that the party in
power favors a system of government cal
culated to bring. about magnificent rail
road enterprises, with magnificent land
grants and subsidies in lands, by which
millions of dollars by the way of Mobilier
speculations and other schemes are stolen
from the people. Recognize the right OF
legislative bodies to foster class interests,
in the doing of which it is perfectly easy
to put millions of dollars in the pockets
of favored class, and it is not strange
that that class will acquire the art of
placing money where it will do the most
good. We have recently seen the effect
of this system of legislation, and men OF
all classes, Republicans and Democrats
have fallen victims to the temptations set
before them 1t is not because the indi
vidual members of the Republican party
are more dishonest than the members oil
any other party that fraud and corrup
ton exists, but it is because the party is
committed to u line of policy which ever
has and must continue while human ma
ture remains what it is to produce just
such shameful corruptions and frauds
that mark the history Of the present Ad
ministration. To correct this system o
government and change the policy pro
ductive of so much evil, demands the

The Beautiful Hills.
BY JAMEs G. CLARK.

Oh! the Beautiful Hills where the blest hav.
Since the years when the earth was new;
When our fathers gazed from the fields of God
On tie vale we are travelling thro'!
We haS seen those hills in their brightness
When the world was black below,
And we've felt the thrill of immortal eyes
In the night OF their darkest woe.
Then sing for the Beautiful Hills
That rise from the evergreen shore;
Oh! sing for the Beautiful Hills,
Where the weary shall toll no more.
And renowned by the praises of seers,-
Went down in the tramp of the old King Time
To sleep with his gray-haired years;
But the Beautiful Hills rise bright and strong
Thro' the smoke of old Times red wars,
AS on that day when the first deep song b..
Rolled up from the morning stars.
Then sing for the Beautiful Hills
That rise from the evergreen shore;
OH sing for the Beautiful Hills,
Where the weary shall toll no more.
We dream of the rest on the Beautiful Hills,
Where the traveller shall thirst no more;
And we hear the hum of a Thousand rillS
That wander the green glens Ger;
We feel the souls of the martyred men
Who have brayed n cold worlds frown,
We can bear the burden which they did then,
Nor shrink from the thorny crown.
Then sing for the Beautiful Hills
That rise from the evergreen shore;
Oh! sing for the Beautiful Hills,
Where the weary shall toll no more.
Our arms are weak, yet we would not fling
To your feet this load of ours,
The winds of Spring to the valleys sing,
And the turf replies with the flowers.
And thus we learn on our wintry way,
How mightier arm controls;
That the breath of God on. our lives shall play
Till our bodies bloom to souls. ...
Then sing for the Beautiful Hills
That rise from the evergreen shore; -.
Oh! sing for the Beautiful Hills,
Where the weary shall toll no more.

Grant gained 1000 votes. The difficulty

The following from the Cedar Rap
ids Times, will apply to Ottumwa and
vicinity:
"IIARD TIMEs."-To see the great
numbers of loads of corn, wheat, oats,
hogs, and wood upon our streets every
day, and the quantity of money paid
for them in the aggregate, one would
think there was no necessity for the
constant cry of "hard tines" Farm
ers may not get SO much as desirable,
nor indeed, as to make farming profit
able, for their produce, and merchants
may not find trade as rushing AZ when
higher prices for produce ruled, but
from Whist we know of the general
financial condition of this part Of the
country, we are inclined to the belief
that there is not any alarming depres-
sion in money matters. True, all may
find IL necessary to economics, and
may find it hard to meet their obliga-
lions but this is always the case even
|! in the fiushest OF times. If all classes
Of men and women would learn to
economic in time-to save when they
have it---they would find it much cas-.
| Ter to get along comfortably in times
like these, when produce is low and
money less plentiful. We think how.
ever, that among oil our business men
there are but few whose pecuniary af.
fairs have been in much easier con.
dition for long time than at present
| and that to take the people generally
there Is really no alarming embarass
ment, financially, among any particu'
| lar class, and that the cry of .'hard
tines" results more from awant o
disposition among producers to accom-
modate themselves to low prices, thar
from want Of enough to sell to nee
all necessary OUTLAWS and to meet mos
Of their past due obligations.
