DELANo, not having been able
to stand the pressure, has con-
Guided to resign. A Democratic
House Of Representatives in the
dim distance, possesses no little
terror for "lnlian ring" short-com-
ings and Marsl's charges having
been verified, Delano, like a good
statesman, seeks the classic shades
Of retirement. Grant closes his
acceptance of this worthy's resig-
nation pretty much as follows {:
"You can take with you the assur-
ance of my esteem and firm belief
ofyour honesty. You only yield
to the clamors of an ignorant and
ungreatfal public who don't know
a ''good thing when they see it."

The position of the New York 81"
is to-day sounder on all Democratic
questions than that Of even the boast
ed World. In its issue of 18th Sept.
in an article in relation to the Penn
sylvania Democratic platform, it says,
with regard to the currency plank:
The ideas and the policy here set
forth are fallacious in theory and will
he injurious in practice. We repudi-
ate them, and denouncc them ard
the violent struggle which attended
their adoption by the Convention,
proves that very large minority Of
the Pennsylvania Democracy rcpudi-
ate and denounce them also.
But what shall this minority do?
What shall independent voters, look
ing to the best good of the State and
of the country, do7 Shall they turn
against the ticket nominated by this
Convention with Judge Pershing at
its head, who has just inflicted con.
dign punishment upon the public rob-
bers in Schuylklll county !! Shall they
support the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
bic ticket in prcference9 Can any
sensible man take such course? We
say No.
The currency question to-day in
Pennsylvania is an abstraction; but
the existence of the Treasury Ring is
Il pernicious, far reaching reality.
Another reality, worse and more per.
nicious, is Grantism in the national
Administration, and this the Treasu-
~ Ring is identified with and repre-
sents. The first duty is to cxpel and
reform these great and actual evils.
No believer in hard money, and no
friend of honest government, should
fail to support the Erie ticket beca use
Of anything Objectionable respecting
this abstraction that is contained in
the platform.
The position of the Southern States
under radical rule is the same as
above expressed. We care not for a
fight on currency, tariff, &c., and do
not propose to make any. Our efforts
will be directed to the overthrow of
Grantism, and the rule established by
him South.
Louisiana, Mississippi and Soutl,
Carolina, are the only States that re-
main to-day under the grinding rule
Of radical thieves our ideas are, Of
course, for more money, but We also
have great desire to keep it-keep
it from being swallowed up in taxes
keep it from being DETECTED from
Legitimate purposes when put in the
State Treasury. To rid ourselves
of such men as Chamberlain, Ames
and Kellogg, with all their followers,
will be the key note of the political
contest in these States next year,
leaving the subjects of currency, and
other legitimate topics, to regulate
themselves when We have first regula.
ted our internal affairs.

Prepare for Action.

Tho Packard-Lconard corrcspon-
dence lays bare the whole plan Of the
radical party in Louisiana and the
time for action on or pat has ayired.
How this game came to light we will
not NOW stop to enquire. Some good
men in New Orleans evidently got
hold Of the matter and brought it
before the people. We, who have
heretofore opposed the assembling
ola convention of the Democratic
party in November in this State, have
had our motives entirely miscon-
strued, at least the Vindicator has,
and now we consider the time for ac-
ton is at hand, and no journal hold
ing the respect and confidence of the
white people, should give factions op-
position to this imperative demand.
The situation requires it; our people,
since seeing that Packard, Kellogg
and others construc their silence into
submission ; our opposition, for mat
clial and good reasons to the pro-
posed convention, into an antipathy
to the Democratic party or that the
purpose Of the 'Dourbons," as Pack
ard terms them, Care distasteful to
Wing elements as we'll as the Con-
sentative or Liberal party" Our peo-
pie, as we said, demand, and that
instantly, that we give the lie to
these utterances. Our Office has been
visited this morning by many pure :,
true and tried neutrality-suspicious.
formerly Wings, Liberals and Con-
servatives, aud all are ia favor of res
ponding to the call of the Democratic
party, and that Immediately.
Let us show to Packard that he has
reconed "without his host that he
mag offer the bribe Of Office, of high
places, to some men, but that the great
body of Louisiana's people, her true
sons, not the vile sneaks that snuff
spoils and are ever ready to make
footstools of themselves for paltry
pay, are not to be thus tempered with.
Let US show to them that the short
time from January to this, has not
been sufficient to eradicate from our
hearts and minds the great wrongs
they have committed against us that
the reverence for our dead of the 18th
Superintendent in the holy cause
of freedom, is too pure to be sullied
with the foul touch Of the political
associations of such as Packard, kel-
losg, Longstrcet, Wells, Anderson.
We will convince them in Il short
time that our bitter feeling against
them has not ceased to exist, but only
slumbers. Let us all come to the
front aud with one mighty effort kill
effectually the damnably pnrjured
radical party of Louisiana.

The Homer Had after a scathing
denunciation Of the Conservative
Democracy placi1ly proposes to heal
the breach after the following style ::
The whole question thus resolves
itself into the hands of the individual
members of the Democratic party
WHO are truly conservative, and who
are not in favor of numbering men for
y political difference of opinion; and
who, on account of their ability and
good character, can WELD most
wholesome balance of power-both
as to their own party, and the Repnb-
lean patty also. Surely there may
be found sufficient honor and tolera-
ton and incorr"ptibi|ity in the two
parties to save the State from such
continued disgrace and ruin as we
have long been lingering under. And
in looking around through the DEM
ocratic ranks for an assisting element
of this sort, public attention and hope
are naturally attracted to sucll names
as those Of Hon. j. y. Eustis, Judge
J. b. ELAN, Gen. John Young, Hon.
j. C. Moncnre, Col. John s. Young
and we will add the name Of Senator
A. B. George for Which all his sup
posed ultraism, we will not believe
that his personal honor and individ.
nal integrity could be found at fault
on an Issue Of this sort, or on any
other issue when the test is fairly and
squarely and tangibly made.
What say You gentlemen? Shall
We have peace or war "a? Shall we
have a rule of law and order, with
prosperity +; or shall we have contin-
ued uncertainty and languishing,
with occasional murder and assas-
sination for opinions sake! Shall
the majority rule peaceab|y at the
Rpolls, or shall the turbulent minority
rule by means of the bludseon and
the assassip's dagger and bullet !!
"We pause for reply" and we do
not care if you "all speak at once !"
And this too, in tho Mansfield Report,
er, which dill not reply. Well, we
propose to "speak ours out" If the
rule of claw and order" is to come by
our tamely submitting to the rule of
the negro headed by Blackburn, or
any of the men lie names and calls for,
We say WAR!
The article is one that implies a
threat and We candidly call upon the
Homer Hiad and it's clan to do their
worst. We have yielded sufficiently
to the unreasonable demands of the
negroes and we propose to "stop
short" nov. No one has yet been
killed for "opinions sake in this sec.
ton, but VIC believe that many de-
served it for uttemnces and acts which
they claimed as their opinions, and
its followings.
Ten sheep is no majority to a lion,
and the wealth, virtue and intelli-
gence Of Louisiana have stood the tax
alton, rule aud legislation of the ig-
norant and vicious as long as they
intend to, and we are constrained to
enquire, what Mr.. Homer Iiad is
"going to do about it,"

DISHONEST REPUBLICAN STATE
OFFICERS IN PENN.
OVER A MILLION OF DoLLARs STOLEN
In THE LAST ELEVEN YEARS,
Fraudulent Bookkeeping.

=
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2l.-The commit
tee appointed by the Pennsylvania house
of representatives to investigate the affairs
of the treasury, have agreed upon re-
port stating that their investigation has
developed the following facts:
First, That from 1864 to 1874 there ap-
pears to be yearly over charge on the in
terest account on the public debt, the diff.
fe-ent treasurers taking credit for paying
more interest than the state debt bore.
The grand aggregate thus unlawfully taken
from the state treasury in eleven years
would amount to 81, I23. 30l.
Second. That from 1870. to 1874 there
appears to have been an excess of premium
charged in the purchase of gold, to pay
interest on gold bearing bonds amounting
to $l2l ,427. Many other minor fraudulent
transactions came under the notice of the
committee. In referring to the action of
the ex-treasurer in refusing to appear be-
fore the committee, the report SAYS Certain
ly it is fair to assume that all the charges
made are true,as the treasurers do not ap-
pear, when lawfully subpened, to explain
or deny them.
