THE SUCCESSOR OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE IN
THE ONO CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. The
Vice President of the Ohio Constitutional
Convention, now that it's President has been
made Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States, is expected to take
the vacant chair of the presiding officer in that
Convention. Lewis D. Campbell is that Vice
President, and it would be an interesting cpl
sode in the history OF the Buckeye State to
see General Campbell in that position.

The SUNDAY LAw.-It was happy thought
which led the German republicans last night
to call the Legislative enactment under which
the police are now acting an antiquated law
known as the Sunday law. Some of its re-
strictions ought to be repealed, if for no other
reason because they are seldom enforced and
soon become antiquated.

material, and, generally speaking, men who
have boarded some time at the public ex-
pense in the reformatory establishments do
reason ingeniously rather than honestly. An
election goes, therefore on partial partisan
on the votes cast at the polls and even Sena-
tor Morton was willing to accept statistical
inference as Of more weight than an election
by the people. 1t is circumstance that
must be remembered against him.
But though the Louisiana people are busted
of their right, and must now, by going to
the polls again, acquiesce to some degree in
the view Of those who ousted them, they will
doubtless willingly hail the opportunity thus
given to get the better of wrong with which
otherwise they would be hopelessly unable to
cope Against them is party programme,
and if the programme were insisted upon
through and through they would be without
remedy. Hitherto the republican party has
conducted the reconstruction of Louisiana
strictly on the monstrosity and dead weight
principle-that is TO say, not at all with o
view to re-establish the citizens in the enjoy
ment of their rights, not at all for the benefit
of the people of that State or the country, but
solely for the less legitimate party objects,
for the profit and advantage Of plum
derers and the hangers-on to the political for
tunes of party leaders. Every prominent
republican politician who aided in nursing
this Louisiana monster knew at every step that
the proceedings were all fraudulent; but the
political conscience is such that men
who probably would not commit COM
mon theft or swear falsely before
magistrate on a case involving bill for fifty
dollars will psrjure themselves consistently,
day after day for year, on-e case involving
millions in public plumber, and will to their
utmost endeavor aid conspiracy to steal q
State from the people who own it. Az the
conspiracy had been successful at every stage
through tho operation Of party pressure-bY

How Pencil Leads are Made.

Graphite, clay, and water are the
materials used. The finest praphite
after being finely ground is mixed
with a peculiar blue clay, found only
IN Bavaria, and the whole is knead-
I'd with water to the consistency OF
putty. This mess is placed in a
strong cylindrical iron vessel in the
bottom of which is Il hole of the di-
ameter of the lead desired. A
pIunger forces the mixture out
through this small opening, which
IS received on metallic sheets, which,
when filled are placed In an oven for
baking. The softness or hardness of
Inc pencil depends upon the degree
If hardness to which the baking is
carried. The leads are afterwards
broken up into the sizes required.
Nine different sizes Of leads are
made and numbered from one to
zine.

the expenses growing out OF the
Democratic war are deducted, the
cost Of the Government is less than
it was under Buchanan, with one
third more population to provide for
now than at that time.
The Democracy blames the Repub-
Iican party for the late panic and
subsequent hard times, and attrib-
utes it to high tariff; yet, every
intelligent man knows that If it had
not been for that same tariff, the
crisis woald have fallen upon US sew
eraI years sooner and with ten-fold
more severity.
These chronic grumbIers know
better. They know that the Repub-
lican party has been a marvellous
success; but they know also that
they are themselves out Of power
and position, and are likely to re-
main 50, If the Republicans attend to
their duty on the third Of Novem-
Der. This is the real cause Of all
this yeIping, and there is no remedy
but to let them yelp on until they
tire and go to sleep again. THE Re-

Difficult and troubIous Is the work OF
the pIatform-maker in politics, poor
and miserable his pay, and altogether
thankless his reward. The Anti
Monop party of Iowa, with all offs
| Democratic veterans and all its Re.
publican recruits, begged ex-Gover-
| nor Stone to give it platform. They
were towards all when they came
face to face with the task themselves,
and by their cowardice confessedtheir
own inability to draft creed for the
times or to fashion even a phantom
for the passing hours. Elbowing Gov.
Stone into this, they unloaded upon
him, and left the whole thing with
him. The Governor did all that man
could do, and more than any Demo
crat man or men would do. He made
as good a platform as could have beer
made for crowd which had hardly
two men with ideas alike. And after
ii was made, those by whose order i
was made praised it more than hearth
~, even wildly. The Opera Housc
rang with answering echos to its ev-
cry word, as the Governor, in his
best claw-hammerb blue, read it. Then
with one or two exceptions, both
party press and the party
itself, the State over, embraced
the platform and called it good-and
said 1t was good enough epitaph
for the "dead old parties," and Al
suspicious and all-sufficient baptism
for the freshly-born new party
Through the campaign the only
thing greater than this platform, ac-
cording TO all Anti Monop authori
ties, was the author of it, the father
Of the new faith, the apostle Of the
new gospel, his ex-exceIIency, Wm.
M. Stone. But since the people
have been heard from, and the cleo
ton returns have been footed up great
no longer is Gov. Stone. Instead Of
the honor and glory and laurels anG
throne and his pick Of the offices
which were to have been the substan
tial thanks and enduring reward Of
the new prophet, only complaints
brood about and maledictions now
fall upon him-and the whole blame
of the defeat is saddled off on him
and his platform. He filled u breach
no other man had the courage to try
to fill, and receives in the end the
curses i'm chorus Of those whom he
tried honestly to serve. If the Gov
enor doesn't believe in the doctrine OF
Universalism about this time he
ought to. For all Of the fellows who
didn't dare do anything in the crisis
OF necessity are now inflicting upon
him the punishment Of wanting to
know why he was not as wise AS they
would have been If they had been in
his place. - LEICESTER.

During the administration o. the
party more than 1900 miles of rail
way have been constructed over the
country, equalling in cost, including
rolling stock and equipments, the
entire railway system of England
twice told; yet the party is blamed
because there are not railroads
enough to tranfer our vast Internal
products to the seacoast and manu-
features to the interior.
Since the party came into power 1t
has expended vast sums in harbor
and river improvements; yet 1t is
censured because it has not construct
ed a system Of inland canals across
the continent. 1t is censured for
spending money on public buildings;
yet there is scarcely city, Territory
or State in the Union that Is not
clamoring to-day for appropriations
for the erection Of public buildings
that are really needed to meet the
development and consequent necessi,
ties Of the country.
The Governsnent is censured for
the public debt and consequent taxa
ton; and yet the debt is the direct
result of the war lnaugarated by the
very men who are now whining over
it's existence.

denouncing the administration for
the heavy expenses of the Govern
ment, while tigures show conclusive

gated the subject knows, that when

What 1T Ezenng.

The cardinal feature Of the plat
forms upon which the Democracy Of
Ohio and Indiana made their recent
race is imitation and reputation.
Since the war where the Democracy
OF these two States has led the Demo-
cracy of the country has followed. In
1868 the national platform Of the
Democratic party was furnished by
Ohio, and it was almost identical
with that upon which the Democracy
of Ohiostood in therecent contest, and
the leader Of the Democratic hosts ia
Ohio was George III. PeDdIeton, the
author Of reputation and initiation,
and Senator Thurman, who refused
to endorse the Infamous doctrine Of
the platform was not permitted to
open his mouth during the canvass.
The recent victory in Ohio and Indi-
ana, If it should result in national
victory for Democracy would mean
the depreciation of our currency, in
fiation, destruction Of our national
banks, the reputation of our national
obligations and the paralyzing Of ev-
ry material interest Of the country.
And this Is the victory over which
the Anti-Monops Of Iowa are shout
ing so Justify. From this victory they
abstract the salve with which to heal
the wounds given by Republicans
Of their own State. Ii will be sorry
day for this country should the DEM
ocratic victories of Ohio and Indiana
lead to a national victory
for the same party. The credit
OF this nation once destroyed
AS such policy as that Indicated
in these platforms would surely de-
5troy it, and successful rebellion could
have left us in no worse shape. And
it is to this end that Democracy is
still aiming. --Ha,ok-Eye.

THURSDAY, NOV. 5, 1874.
The south stiI, for secession.


The South still for Secession.
The Southern white people are dis
loyal to the Union. The pretense
that they respect and revere the
American Sag is miserable sham.
Penn yielded to Federal troops be-
cause IIe dared not oppose force to
force. 1t follows that the sympathy
lavishcd upon Southern White Lea
que Democrats by the Northern peo-
pie, on the theory that they war on
ly upon so.called carpet-bag State
governments, is misplaced. Tho
Southern plan is to overthrow State
governments, with view to ultimate
ly overthrow the Union. TO regard
the Southern situation from any
other standpoint is to be gulled by
a fatal delusion. And why did the
South wish in 1861 to destroy the
Union? Merely because the Union
would not extend the institution or
slavery into new territory. The
cause Of disloyaIty at the South Is
now, as 1t was in 1864, the desire to
establish the doctrine Of property in
man. Southern White League Dem
oc ats hate the American flag, be-
cause it means equal rights to black
and white; because 1t means free
dom of speech and of political action.
Every White League organization at
the South is, therefore, concerted
movement not merely to elevate
Democrats to power in State, but
to haul down the flag of the stars
and stripes and raise in its place the
flag of the stars and bars, and that
flag means slavery. Slavery was
the cornerstone of the rebel Con-
federacy, and it is to restoration Of
the institution Of slavery that the
efforts Of the Southern Democracy
FRO ell directed to-day as much as
they were directed to it's extension
during the period from 1850 to 1865.
Southern Democratic journals do not
hesitate to declare that nothing but
tile weakness Of the South as COM
pared with the strength Of the North
prevents, new secession movement,
Witness the following from the New
Iberia La.) Sugar-bo0t:
1t Is high time the South should
he plain and honest in her language
toward tho North, and cease this
silly twaddle about Northern senti-
ment. We must work out our own
salvation, and depend no longer up
on the broken reed of Northern
friendship.
The South has the same moral
right to force her peculiar views up
on the North as tho latter has to
force hers upon Us. The only differ
ence Is, the North is strong and the
South is weak but that is no reason
why we should not think as we
please, and say what we think. The
whole question is purely one OF in
tcrest; and If we think the South
would better herself by another
secession, let us then feariess'y advo-
cate it. There are, however, other
objects OF higher importance and
more easily obtained at present, and
for these we should contend with oil
our might. We believe neverthe-
less, that before another decade the
two great sections Of the Union will
be quietly and contentedly making
history for themselves under separate
governments"
The "other objects more easily OBJ
tanned at present are the possession
of State governments; the grand
ultimate object is the re-establish-
ment of the Confederacy based on
Afric an slavery Inter Ocean.
