without shame.

The world never saw an administra-
ton of the public affairs of any nation
so insensible to honor and decency as
this present administration of the man
named Grant. No sooner is the pub
lie service rid of some one of the many
parasites who infest it than Grant
picks him out of the mud and sends
him up higher. There was General
Van Buren, who was ignominiously
collared and kicked out at Vienna.
He demands position elsewhere be-
cause of his party service and receives
it. Bingham is retired by the people
from Congress and Immediately sent
to the land of the Celestials. Colfax
is proven a perjured hypocrite and
Grant writes him letter of undimin-
fshed esteem. Richardson is unable
to determine in what consists a rob-
berry of the Treasury, and is therefore
appointed a Judge. Williams is shown
to be a thief and he is nominated for
Chief Justice, although his retirement
from the Attorney -Generalship is de-
manded. Shepherd, of the District of
Columbia, is proved a rascal doubly-
damned, yet, Grant deposes any one
who dares expose his rascalities. Tom
Marphy was driven from the New
York Custom House because of mis-
management and peculations, yet
Grant treats him as an intimate friend.
And so on and so forth, we are oblig-
ed to conclude, for the list may be eX-
tended indefinitely.-To Dem.

RAvENNA. THURSDAY. JUNE IS. 1874.
We have surrendered a large pol

We have surrendered q large por-
tion ofour paper this week to the
publication of the new constitution,
for which we regard no apology nee
essary. The question ofthe adoption
or rejection of that instrument is one
of the most important that can come
before the people of the State, and de-
serves the most careful and unpreju-
diced consideration, and to that end
every citizen before he casts his vote
upon the question should carefully
read and consider its provisions. That
it does not in all respects meet the
wishes Of the people is doubtless true,
but if, upon the whole, it is an inn
proyement upon the present funda-
mental law of the State, would it be
best to waste the vast amount ofIabor
and money that have been bestowed
upon it? This is a question for the
electors to decide on the 18th of Au-
gust by their votes.

A Beautiful Picture to Contemplate.

Rev. James Freeman Clark, of Bos-
ton, who was an original Abolitionist
and whose love for the imam and
brother" knew no limit, has been on
visit to South Carolina, and his re-
port draws beautiful picture of the
condition of affairs in that Sovereign
State. He represents everything there
as being in a state of chaos, the igno
rant, semi-barbarous negroes are the
masters and the whites slaves. The
whole power of the State is in the
hands of the colored people. There
are only twenty white members of
the Legislature. The remainder are
negroes, most of whom can neither
read nor write. Mr.. Clarke says that
he saw one colored man who is can
didate for the next Legislature, who
not only can not read nor write, but
maintains it as proposition, that no
one who can write ought to go to the
Legislature. This man is Trustee
and Superintendent of Schools in
certain district in the State. The coll
ored people who go to the Legislature
poor come away driving horses worth
$1,000 a pair, and buying $4,000
houses. Clarke uses this language: ::
Call the rascalities, all the rings in
New York. the lobbies at Albany, the
thefts at Harrisburg, are openly imi-
tated at Columbia by the eolored peo-
ple." He might have added, too, all
the scoundrelism at Washington
MANY" he says. who go down
South strong anti-slavery people, and
great friends to the colored people,
come back diegusted with the whole
colored race"
And all this is the work of the par
ty that processes to be in favor of hon.
est, upright, good Republican govern
ment, the party that processes to be
engaged in a struggle to preserve the
Union established by the fathers of
the Republic. 'By their fruits shall
you know them" They have blotted
out the old State, and committed the
fortunes and destiny of its people to
ignorant negroes and carpet-bag
thieves. And this they call loyalty
and patriotism!

THE Commercial Bulletin, of Bos-
ton, speaks hopefully of the prospects
of the iron trade. 1t says: The re-
markable progress of this industry for
the two years Immediately preceding
the panic, and the enormous demand
for American iron, give reason to hope
for a partial revival of this branch of
business at no distant day, and a re-
newal of profitable operations. This
growth has probably no parallel in
the history of any industry in the
country. The call for American iron
was so great that large profits were
realized, and this in turn stimulated
production. New furnaces and mills
were erected in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and here and there in other States,
until the production was III excess OF
the wants of the country. Irrespect-
i've of the panic, it would have been
almost impossible to maintain prices,
with so great an increase in produe-
tion. The panic added to the weight
to be carried, and the result is what
we have seen,

NEW political organizations are the
order of the day. The National Chris
tian Association has decided to organ
ize an anti-secret-society party; the
prohibitionists have party; on the
10th inst, the Independents held State
Cenyentions IN Indiana, Illinois, and
Kansas, and organized, resolved, and
nominated tickets; and how many
more will be organized before the fall
elections no one can tell. This will
enable those who have been attached
to the Radical party, which is fast
going to pieces, to get aboard of some
other craft. They can pay their money
and take their choice.

The New York Sun, in an article
on the liquor question, very sensibly
says:
.stRecent elections disclose the whole
some fact that the masses of the peo-
pie are convinced that no man has a
right to analyze the contents of anoth-
er mans stomach while the man who
owns the stomach is alive and voting.
Wherever the issue is sharply made
between license and prohibition the
popular verdict will ultimately be Civ
en- for rum and liberty The Blue
Laws of Connecticut stand as good a
chance of final adoption throughout
these United States as any known
scheme of total abstinence enforced by
the magistrate. Political parties have
taken notice, and will act accordingly" :"
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1874-06-18

THE Republicans are again making
efforts to revive the old Know-Noth-
ing party of twenty years ago. At
that time the Whig party was in its
death throes and something had to be
done to keep its members from join
ing the Democratic party. To-day a
similar state of affairs exists. The Re-
publican party is going the way of
all flesh. 1t is dying. How to pre-
vent honest Republicans from leaving
that corrupt organization is the ques-
ton which agitates the leaders. They
think a war on personal liberty is the
best way. We shall see.-Seneca Ad-
VerttSer.

HENRY WARD BEEcHER has pro-
pounded another theological point.
He denies the imputation that "In
Adams fall, so sinned we ALL" He
says:
THAT general view that we are con-
demned for what was done for us
thousands OF years ago, and are held
to eternal penalty for it, is so in con-
tradiction to every sense of Justice
that no man should regard it without
repugnance. 1t ascribes to God attri-
butes which would cover any human
ruler or parent with infamy."

THE vote on the adoption or rejec-
ton of the proposed new Constitution,
to be had on The 18th of August, win
not be partisan. Both Republicans
and Democrats are opposed to the
new instrument-and many members
and papers of both parties are also in
its favor.

The Toledo Blade tells this: "Mr.
George r. Collins, colofed man,
sends us letter for which we cannot
find room, but the substance of which
is statement that he called this morn
ing at barber shop, kept by colored
man, and requested to be shaved. The
colored knights of the razor declined
to cut a hair ON black face. and
George very naturally wants to know
what is the use of Civil Rights Bill
to compel whites to treat the colored
people as fellow citizens and brethren,
when colored men will not shave a
man because he is black"
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1874-06-18

THE New York Sun of the 10th,
contains the following significant
paragraph:
eMore than three weeks ago per-
sons enjoying relations of peculiar in
timacy with President Grant attribut-
ed TO him a purpose of vetoing the
Civil Rights bill. advocating the re-
symptom of specie payments at q very
early. day and separating himself from
the Republican party. Possibly re-
cent events may be interpreted as
forming the commencement of this
complex operation"
