The Kentucky Democracy.

CFrom the Louisville Courier-JournaI.l
The platform adopted by the Democratic
convention is remarkable for what it omfts. It
treats Of but one subject, and is made up prin-
cipAlly of truisms applicable to one side ofthat
Somebody has cleverly said that the Bourbons
are those who have not yet learned that there
has been q war, and the Radicals are those
who have not yet learned that the war is over.
Tested by that saying, this is emphatically
Bourbon platform. It shows that the parties
have repudiated the new departure and gone
back by side track to the old paths. It is
catch-penny, evasiye affair, too. 1t avoids any
expression Of opinien on the various questions
which the Democratic and Opposition parties
have for years past been declaring to be the
living issues of the day, and attempts to dis
tract the attention Of the people to them by an
appeal to passions on q matter about which
there is no real issue Of principle. 1t shows,
too, the utter lack Of national feeling in the
Democratic party in Kentucky, and that 1t has
given up none Of those sectional and local
prejudices which plunged the country into war
fifteen years ago. .... ..r........

The causes leading to the alarming death rate

tIon which is now being seriously discussed by
scientists and humanitarians. 1t is the belief of
those who have given the subject careful study
that this state Of affairs is mainly attributable to
q lack OF stimulation to the attainment Of higher
and better positions in the usual walks of life.
That the colored people have not SUFFICIENT ambi-

ganizstion. "a marked feature in our
"politics," says the Raleigh Mems ''is
"that they are controlled by comparatively
"new men," Comparatively new they
are, to be sure, when we take into con-
sideration the fact that the leaders OF the
South before the war, except those who
served in the rebel armies, have been quietly
shelved. The same journal adds the fol-
lowing significant paragraph about the re-
vival OF State Rights theories:
If it is any comfort to THE REPUBLICAN
to confirm its forebodings, we agree with him
that State Rights are not dead, either In the
South or in the North. 1t is a vital principle,
the value of which is being the more recog-
nized under the eDcroachments of centraliZa-
ton which has only begun to be resisted.

Mr.. BERGH, the friend of the dumb
brutes, has lately turned his attention to
the effect produced upon children who are
allowed constantly to witness the public
butchery of animals in the New York
slaughter-houses. No enc will deny the
evil effects of such scenes upon the charac-
ter of the rising generation. In another
way, but not less destructive to their NOR
ais, the children of the Southern States are
being educated into the most pernicious
beliefs. The same principle applies to both
the New York youngsters and the offspring
of the Southern secessionists. Gas the
twig is bent the tree will grow, and while
the former are submitted to the brutalizing
influences of scenes of butchery, the latter
are taught that Ku- Kluxism, White League
ism and treason are commendable and or
binary features of everyday Southern life.

THE Chicago Tribune condescendingly
admits that the District grand jury which
few days ago dismissed the indictment
against Dana, the Pirate Of the Press, was
composed of honest and sensible men. ~
OF course they were. Being American
citizens, and carpet-baggers to the District
from nearly every section of the country,
except Chicago, it was natural that they
should be honest. The courts and juries
of that city are not so incomparably perfect
that the Tribune can afford to waste its

Southern Editorial Courtssiss,

BroWnloW belches billingsgate with increased
flthiness since his term in Congress. We owe
him something for advertising the Home by five
inches Of his foulest abuse. The old man seems
TO he warming up to avoid too sudden change Of
temperature when he goes for his reward.
We clip the foregoing from D. H. Hills
Southern Home, one of the dirtiest and flthiest
sheets published in the South. He has asso-
ciated with him Randolph A. shotwell. If we
are not greatly mistaken, this man ShotweIl
was confined in the penitentiary at Albany for
Ku-Kluxing. Hill took the alarm and plunged
into Presbyterian revival, and made furi-
Gus and spurious profession of religion. They
both belong to class of scoundrels that we
have no wish to be associated with, either in
this life or the life to come.

THE Florida Sentinel is bothering itself
with the unanswerable conundrum, "What

practices are to stuff ballot-boxes, murder
and intimidate political opponents, and
nurse the fallacies of the rebellion. The
nearest approach to principle underlying
these practices is an Unsuitable greed for
nublic Dlunder.

THE first fall of poplar cotton" this
year began day before yesterday, and was
accepted as certain indication Of change
of the season or weather. Last year tho
cotton began to fall on the 10Th of April,
and the difference between the beginning
OF the warm season in 1874 aud 1875 is ex-
actly the time between that date and the
10th of May. We are assured by expe-
rienced observers that this trifing circum-
stance, which attracts so little attention
each year, is a positive presage of the be-
ginning of warm weather.

THE New Orleans Republican is simply
disrespectful. Abiding to the recent meet
ing of the jackson Democratic Association
of this city, it says:
There is a decrepit old cabal at Washing
ton known as the jackson Democratic AssO-
citation. On Tuesday night it mounted its
wig, slapped its dogmatic snuff box, brought
down its antique cane, glared through its
spectacles, and INDUCED in a resolution in
behalf Of Thurman as President and Bayard as
Vice President. Its cue, long embellished
with funereally black ribbon, stood erect like
the tail Of msstif on guard, and admonishes
the forty millions or so that the Jackson As

that the Irish and German should antago-
