A gentleman who was present at the
opening of the Democratic campaign
in Columbus, on the 29th ult., writes
us Of the speech of Hon. WIN. Allen
Is follows:
The Allen meeting came off at tne
Opera House here last night. The
House was about two-thirds full,-ten
or twelve hundred persons, after Il
great effort to draw a crowd; but the
greatest failure was in the speech; if
was a killing disappointment to Mr..
Aliens friends. He started out with
a historical disquisition on primitive
government, then passing to represent
ative government, and showing the
dangers our government is liable to in
this transfer of sovereignty from the
people TO the representative. About
one-half of the speech was taken up Cn
this subject without eIiciting anything
new or even Objectionable to any one.
Not single measure of the Republi-
can party was assailed or objected to,
nor was any new measure for the De-
mocracy proposed. The administra-
tion of the State Government of Ohio
was not referred to in the whole
speech. Credit Mobilier and salary
grab were iiercely charged on Republi-
cans, and the President was denounced
for appointing Gen. Longstreet as col
lector at Southern port, because he
had been rebel General. The ''new
departure Of last year had no effec. on
the ancient statesman. Allen in this
particular refuses to be reconstructed
and will not "shake hands across the
bloody chasrn." The speech when
summed up. was not one on principles
at all, but the plea was, that Democrats,
although not quite angels, were hon.
ester than Republicans, and ought to
have the offices.

The Democratic managers are bend
ing every energy to get the control Of
the County Treasury and Auditors
office. The reason of this onslaught
on these particular offices is very ap-
parent. For two years past the Re-
publican officers have been busy In
ferretting out the corruption existing
under Democratic rule, the evidence
of which is found in the Treasurer's
and Auditors offices alone. An honest
effortis now being made to recover the
money out Of which the County has
been swintiled and the dodge on the
part of our democratic friends to get
possession of the Offices and with them
the damning evidence of the guilt OF
their party friends is too transparent to
deceive even the honest men OF their
own party.
The fact is, that honest people with
ont regard to party, demand that the
guilty parties in this Treasury STEAL
be brought to ojustice. The money was
lost or stolen under democratic rule,-
the deficiency was covered up by dem
ocrdtjc officials, and the money IS IN
DEMOCRATIC hands.
The deficiency was discovered
through Republican vigilance, the in
vestigation was pursued under rep't6H-
en-, rule and the money is sought to be
recovered by republican officers.
What will the taxpayers do? VIII
they by their votes seek to perpetuate
and encourage the men who are noi0
and were then in full accord with the
party under whose mismanagement,
the County has been plundered, and
the public treasury robbed, or will they
encourage and uphold the hands OF the
men who are seeking to protect them
and guard their interests?

to the past.
While the Republican party will con-
tinue to reply to the fire in the rear, its
face is turned to the future full of hope
and promise. There must be no ccssa-
ton in its labors, and it must not pre-
sumo to live upon the glories and MEM
0ries of the past. Its first and ever
present duty is introspectiOn, self-ex-
animation, the correction of errors, the
Introduction of reforms. 1t must look
to the execution of the laws and the
enforcement of the Constitution in ev-
cry part of the colored people in the
enjoyment of the civil and political
rights under the amendments to the
Constitution.
1t must look to the restoration of the
currency by the gradual return TO specie
payment--a return SO gradual, however
as not to disturb the business of the
country and precipitate commercial dis
aster. 1t must look to the restoration
of our foreign commerce, and TO the
better regulation among the several
States. 1t must look to such umend-
ments of the tariff from time to time.

1t should institute searching in

in tho Southern States, in some of
which there is practically no education
for the masses. 1t should carefully
consider all the grievances complained

Western and Southern States, ,hat they
may furnish remedies for them, so far
as they may lie within the jurisdiction
of Congress or of the several States. 1t

AID SOUTHERN EpUCATIoN.

AID SOUTHERN EDUCATION.
The cause of education in the South
ern States has been to me subject OF
anxious reflection. The common-school
system upon which the education OF
the masses must depend, in several of
the Southern States scarcely exists, and
in others is in Il very feeble and de-
pressed condition. 1t is a matter of ma
tional importance that the children of
the South, white and black, shall be
educated that they may perform intel
ligently and well those political and
social duties which are irreyocably
committed to their hands. The South
ern States were Impoverished by the
rebellion, and are much less able than
the flourishing States of the North to
establish and support common schools.
That the General Government has
power to aid in some form in the sup
port of those schools l do not doubt;
and believe it is the interest and wish
of the Northern people that it should
do SO.
INQUIRY INTO RAILROAD ABUSES.
A special committee was appointed
at tllC iflol oCoolOil VI iiiG 1ilNe5U-
ed with ample powers, to examine and
report upon the subject of transporta-
ton. The needs of increased means of
transportation, the abuses and extor-
tions precticed by railroad companies,
and the remedies for these needs and
abuses, are within the direct scope of
the inquiry which this committee is
instructed to make. 1t has been in
session at various points since the adj
journment of Congress, and IN. exhaust
i've and elaborate report may be looked
for at the next session. The Senate
will have before it reliable information
in regard to the condition of transpor-
tation in the Western and Southern
States, and such remedies as the COM
nittee may he able TO suggest for ex-
sting wants and wrongs.

In the early part OF the day the case OF ex-

having embezzled about slo0O0 the property or
the Waikiki National Bank, OF which establishments
he had been President.
Mr.. Purdy announced that the government were
ready TO proceed to trial. de understood, how
ever, that Mr. Graham too SICK to be brought
away from the jail. The witnesses for the prose-
cution were IN attendance. and, this being So, lie
felt 1t his duty to move the case for trial.
Mr.. William Fullerton, OF counsel Tor defendant,
said he, too was ready TO try the case. But what
could he do I The government had contfol and
custody OF the defendant, and he must, therefore,
blde his time.
Mr.. Purdy replied that he would endeavor to
obtain official information OF the condition OF Mr..
Graham's health.
The subject then dropped but later in the day,
towards the conclusion OF the trial OF Warren, re-
ported above Mr.. Graham came into the court
room and had talk with his counsel. At the
close OF Warren's case jury composed OF the ol-
lowing gentlemen, was sworn to try Mr.. Graham:-

SUPREME COURT-6ENeRAl TERM.

The Powers of the Dock Comm issoncrs.
Before Judges 1ngraham, Brady and Fancher.
The legal controversy as TO the power Of the
Dock Commissioners TO allow the erection OF sheds
upon city piers, growing out the suit brought
against Mallory d Co., proprietors OF Galveston
line Of steamers, has Already in Its various stages
OF progress, been fully published In the HERALD.
An important decision was given in this Court
yesterday in the matter, Judge Brady delivering
the decision in an opinion OF considerable length,
but clear. succ1nct and broadly comprehensive,
as his opinions always are. He says that the
act OF 1871, giving their powers to the Dock Com
missioners, was intended to give them control Of
the construction and regulation OF the wharves,
piers and slips, to the extent that this
authority had been given to the Corporation,
giving them such powers, and such powers only
There Is nothing IN the act giving any more ex-
tended authority. The statute, emendatory OF that
OF 1870 on which the appeal depends, provides
tnat the Department shall have exclusive charge
and control OF all the wharves, piers, bulkheads
and structures thereon and OF the appurtenances,
easements, uses, reversons and rights belonging
thereto, which were owned possessed by the
Corporation or which 1t might acquire The Ian
guage as remarked by the Court below, Is very
compresenstve but II Is only so for the gift OF the
powers really conferred, and which are those
which the Corporation already possessed The act
only related to legal structures. The Legis-
lature did not intend by a word in proper connec-
ton with a subject expressed and legislated upon
to legalize what was forbidden and against
which judgments OF courts were on record. The
use of that word implies equally the power to re-
move tnem which mad been conferred upon the
Commissioners OF Pilots by the act OF 1855 The
mischief OF allowing department to cucumber a
public highway or street should not be allowed or
sanctioned, unless expressly conferred, and the
oil IL must be Tor purposes Of navigation and
commerce only, and subject to the right Of the
public to use Its surface as puDc street or nigh
way. But none OF the acts relied upon by the Com
missoners convey power to authorize the erection
OF encumbrances ike that intended by the de-
fendant upon a wharf or pier and, therefore, the
decision at Special Term must be reversed.
