THE OHIO DEMOCRACY.

The democrats of Ohio, in conven-
rlon, at Columbus yesterday, nomin-
ated the present incumbent, William
Allen, for governor, and S. Il. Carey,
of Cincinnati, for lieutenant governor
and adopted platform Of principles,
all of which will be found in our telc-
graphic columns this morning. AS to
the platform, 1t is not certain that, in
every instance, the hieroglyphics sent
to our Office, purporting to he that doc
ument, have been correctly deciphered.
Exactly what our democratic friends of
Ohio intend to say, about secular
schools, for instance, is not very clear
from our dispatch. And yet the school
question is, perhaps, the most
important issue in that canvass;
the one, at least, upon which
the election of Allen the democratic
candidate, or of Hayes, the republican
candidate for governor, is more likely
than the other to turn. In Cincinnati
and the other large cities of Ohio, the
Catholic priests are demanding share
of. the school fund, to support their
own sectarian schools. These demands
are vigorously opposed by both demo-
Gratis and republicans, who are not
Catholics, and by most of the Catholics
themselves, except the Ultramontaines.
The Ohiorepublcans, in their platform,
declared against division of the
school fund, and no doubt this plank
in the democratic platform was in
tended to bridge over this vexed ques-
ton, But. just how they have at
tempted to do it does not appear, from
the dispatch, Unless the reading should
be "no Sectaridn Schools" instead of
"no secular schools"
The Democrats OF Ohio have always
had All Irresistible itching to tamper
with the finances and currency of the
country, and have done great deal to
hold dissatisfied Republicans steadfast |
to their party allegiance by their enun-
citation of wild, and illiberal and de-
structve views in regard to national
finances. The Democratic convention,
in counsel yesterday, unfortunately
forms no exception to the general rule,
and they have, we fear, laid down a
financial platform which is very likely
to precipitate them into Salt river at
the coming election,

coming constitutional convention
should he directed to this as well as
many other defective laws which not
only tend to encourage rascality IN our
midst, but destroy our credit abroad.

These eighty rejected republican

carry out this criminal conspiracy. Pal

Office, we believe, whs one oithem. The
scheme failed, thanks to the gallant
fight against time, made by the dem

From Sundays Daily Herald !

The wheat having all been har-
vested, our farmers will commence
threshing next week, and rush the
work through.
Crops are beginning to need rain
badly, and fears are entertained by
some that we are to be visited with n
prolonged drouth.
The rolling stock of the Texas and
Pacific is hardly sufficient to accOmmo-
date the vast volume of business now
being transacted.
The hay cut in this section of the
state, last year, brought good prices in
Shreveport, New Orleans and wherev-
er shipped. Farmers should make n
note of this fact, and cndeavor to
make their grass crop yield them Il
revenue.
w G. Perry, charged with stealing
q yoke of cattle, had an examination
before Judge Burford, yesterday, who
held him to bail in the sum of one
thousand dollars to answer before the
next District Court. In default of bail,
he was committed to Jail.
Judge Burford, in giving decision
in case where Il man was charged
with the theft of n yoke of oxen, re-
fused to reduce the bail, on application
of defendants attorney, on the ground
that he viewed cattle thief rs n
greater plague to this community than
the grasshoppcrs were to the people OF
Kansas.
Parties were in the city, yesterday,
from Weatherford, on the hunt for
Davis, the absconding contractor. 1t
was rumored that he did not leave
Thursday night, but was still concealed
somewhere in the city. The services
of Sheriff Barkley were called into re-
quisition, but up to a late hour last
evening no trace had been discovered

According to Deherian, leaves
kept in confined atmosphere in
darkness will absorb all OF the oxy-
gen, and still continue 10 givo of
carbonic acid, the resistance to as.
phyxia varying with the species.
The rapidity of growth and the
energy of respiration Of plants are
both favored by obscure heat and
it is shown that the internal com.
bustion, by the absorption of oxy-
gen and the emission OF carbonic
acid, is the origin of part of the
heat necessary to the elaboration Of
new proximate principles in the
plant.

FOSTERS TEXAS DRAWING.
A Farm TO Every Ticket Holder II the
Drawing Fails 10 Take Place June 30.

The unlimited confidence and liberal
patronage bestowed on the Texas Real
Estate and Gold Distribution, of which
am the manager, is a subject of gene
raj remark. The postoffice records of
this city show that we have received
twenty-five times as many postoffice
orders and registered letters with
money than a similar enterprise of
this city of larger pretensions. The
management take great pleasure in ac-
knowledging their gratitude to the
public, with the assurance that the
drawing will positively take place on
the 30th of June, 1875. Our October
drawing took place with but one post
ponement, and so would this, but for
circumstances (see advertisements and
circulars) utterly unavoidable. Our
success is such that we can safely
promise TO refund every cent Of money
and present every ticket holder with a
Texas farm, If the drawing does not
take place on the 30th of june 1875.
We also offer plan (see advertise
ment whereby those buying tickets
can keep their money in home bank
till the drawing takes place. go

Homestead Law.
1t is almost an every day occurrence
that some one, either in private or COM
mercial life, after obtaining all the
credit on goods they can possibly get,
defraud their creditors by placing their
effects within the limits of the home
stead law. Although this kind of thing
occurs frequently, rs stated, yet it is
seldom that the guilty parties are
brought to justice, as they generally
succeed in arranging matters so as to
prevent any criminal prosecution but
in this case, as the following particu-
lars will show, the guilty party, G. w.
Watts, has been brought to account.
From the evidence adduced it seems
that Watts, formerly of the firm OF
Gilbert d Watts, transactlng business
i'm this city on Elm street, received
the agency from Messrs. Deland &
Bacon, millers of Fort Scott, Kansas,
for the sale of their brand of flour in
this city, and the proceeds of these
sales, after allowing about eighty-five
dollars per month for current expenses,
were to be deposited in the First Ma
tional bank, to meet the drafts drawn
upon Watts by his employers, Messrs.
Deland & Bacon. Things had been go
ing along smoothly until about II
month ago, when Watts telcgraphed
for a car load of flour, adding in the dis
patch that he wished Deland & Bacon
to send him heavy ear load. The
flour was accordingly shipped, ard re.
ceived by Watts and disposed of by
him. But the money, some six hun
dred and odd dollars, derived from the
sale, was not deposited in the bank as
in other cases, consequently when De-
land & Bacon drew OH Watts for the
money, there were no funds to meet
the draft. After writing to Watts and
receiving no satisfactory answer, they
dispatched their agent, Mr.. n. f. Kings
berry, 20 Dallas, for the purpose of in
vestigating the matter. On arriving
here Mr.. Kingsberry learned thai
Watts, after collecting the money, haC
purchased a house and lot with ii In
this city. Upon this information, Mr.
X. procured the arrest of Watts, pre-
ferring a charge of embezzlement
against him.
Last Thursday the preliminary ex-
animation of the defendant was CON-
menced before Judge Burford, presid-
ing justice, and was concluded yester-
day afternoon, the result being the
binding over of Watts in bond of six
hundred dollars to appear at the next
term of the District Criminal Court
of Dallas County, 10 answer the charge
preferred against him.
Up to the time the decision was rem
dered. Watts seemed to bolster himself
up with the idea that the charge could
not be sustained, as in a voluntary
statement made by him he did not at
tempt to deny the receipt Of the foul
or the purchase of the house and lot
with the money derived by the sale oi
it, but wished to show to the Court
that no relation as agent existed be
tween him and Deland & Bacon, anC
that he land they stood il
the relation of debtor anC
creditor. Witnesses, however, were in
troduced by the State to whom Watt
] had sold this particular brand Of flour
