The Democratic State Committee mot yoato1-
day and adopted call for State Convention,
to bo held at Springfield Aug. 90. Tho cali cm-
bracos all voters Of tho State who dosire to pro-
mote the foilowing-namod principles:
Frtt-Tho restoration Of gold md syor tie basis
Of tho currency Of tue country; tho speedy rca,mp-
tion Of specie payments, mud tho payment Of a national
Indebtedness IN the money recognized by tho civilized
world.
Steoaa-Frco commerce..

oa1 power by excluding thrrotrom a1i executive md
Legislative iutermedainH with the affairs OF society,"
whereby molopo1lca are fostcrod privileged ctasses
aggrandszed, and Individual freedom unnecessarily
aud oprresare1y restrained:
F-Tho right aud duty Of the State to protect lis
citizens from extoron and unjust discrimination by
chartered naonopoles.
Wo think the Commlttoo have actod wiae1y in
furnishing this ontlino OF principles beforehand,
for, although not necessarily tho platform of tho
proposed Convention; 1t will havo great il not
decisive influence in shaping that: platform. 1t
ia duo to cnudor to state tint 1t la the only

something equivalent TO 1t, aud not 1sBH do

i CIVIL RIGHTB At THE SOUTH,

A. tragedy 1Bs just bean enacted In Carroll

In that county, ctncoived tho notion now not un~

any white man, although his character was mono
Of tho best. I1lloed, he had tho reputation Of
being moat notorious and dangerous person.
This did not pro'ont his Wishing to marry tho

would have her for Ills vito; and that II to did
not marry hor he uould kill her. Tho father Of
tho girl, Radical Republican, beard OF tho no.
gro's intonionH, rent to SEQ him, questioned hin,
concerning his throata, and administered to
him correction which, under tho ciroumstancos;
ho did not consider improper. This servod only
to exasperate tln negro, who now Bworo that ho
would bo avougtd both on tho father and daugh-
ter He armed himealf with Wow Of accom-

THE ADDICTION QAHE.

The Philadelphia abduction Btitl continues to
be tho aensation In tho East,-all Investigations
for tho past four wooks having proved utterly
futile. Not eingle clue has boon discovered to
atd In an Intelligent pursuit. This Ii tho strang~
ast feature In tha caao, and has occasioncd no
littlc unfavorablo comment on the part Of tho
proas and polico OF Philadelphia and New York.
Tho prevailing impression is that Ross has boon
all this time in possoaBion Of certain information
which ho has withheld from tho police. Thres
weoks ago ho received lostor onforing tho ros-
toration Of tho chtld for tho enormous gum Of
$4,000. Thcao suspicious suggest to the Boston
journal story similar in lts prolimlnarics to The
present caac. Forty ycaro agoa beautiful child Was
stolen from poor man In England, and the
father notinod that tho atm Of ct, 600 would
1anaom him. Tho parent replied. through tho
channel directed, that 10 could not rafBo ntho
Of that amount. Tho kjdnapper assured him
that BY applying to Ills rolatives he could obtain
WAS returned, tho anxious father mnde happy,
and the geuaroua relatiyos gratided. Meanwhile
ono of tho contributors to tho ransom fund had
mado arrangements with tho Bank Of England
to register tho barlt-notos ho contributed and to
notify him on thoir presentation, his object
being to find tho kidnappers. Tho plan
was successful tho kidnapper waa found and
the borrowing fathor was sentenced to ponsl
sorvitudo for conspiracy to defraud. Ho had
abducted bis own child for tho sake Of tho ran-
aom.
Tho New York Herald Of July 25 contatna u
lettcr from Philadelphia which ombodies what
are ntated to be general rusnosa and auspiolons
that this celebrated abduction case Ia fraud !;
that 1t was aohome roaorted to by Mr.. Rosa to
raise money to extricate himself from financial
enbarrassments. Tho form Of thcse rumors
| is that when a sympathlzing public had contrib
utod tho $4,000 to pay tho ransom for tho
child, tho child would be brought homo by somo
person al,aring tho money, and that from tho be-
ginning tile child has been meroly hidden. Whom
the effort waa mado to raise the monoy for tho
| ramon 1t failed, though a much creator sum
might hayo been raised as reward for tho cap-
tura aud conviction Of tho abductors Tho
| Mayors proclamation Offering $4,000 for tho
recovery Of the child ;is conditional upon tho
arrest mud conviction OF tho kidnappors. Since
then nothing further has occurred relating to the
subject. None Of tho Phladelphia papers give
currency to thoso stories, and thoir publication
in tho Nov York paper, 1t they arc falHe. is cal
culated to give additional weight to the diatresz
