HONEST AND CAPABLE.
Editors OF the Register.

Editors OF the Register.
A good deal of interest is being felt
and expressed among the people in rela-
ton to the political campaign which is
shortly TO open in this State. Recent
developments at Washington City have
started and aroused the honest men OF
the whole nation, and many men who
have consented heretofore to take no
more active part in political affairs than
merely to go to the polls on election
day and vote for the can
didstes whom the party convention
had selected, now feel like coming to the
front and exercising some voice IN the
selection of the candidates themselves.
Men actively engaged in business or in
professional labors, who have heretofore
paid but slight attention to political
affairs, are awaking to the necessity OF
putting forth some earnest effort to stay
the tide of corruption that is disgracing
the American name and destroying the
foundations of our government.
Among the business men OF this city L
have heard during the past few days the
name of Mr., Robert NJ. Delaplaih very
favorably mentioned, as q candidate for
Congress. Itstrik0s me that the sugges-
ton is an excellent one, and well wor-
thy of adoption. Mr.. Delaplain is gen.
tleman of liberal education and mental
culture; we'll informed upon al
the questions of the day; a
representative business man; and
man OF unimpeachable integrity,
honesty, and honor. He would doubtless
prove capa bic and influential guardian
of the interests of his constituents should
he be elected to a seat in the House Of
Representatives. Let the business men
of the District consider OF the matter.
Respectfully, &c,
DEMOCRAT.

WASHINGTON, March lO.-The Wine

United States were before the Ways and
NJ cans Committee OF the House to-day,
advocating plan for the reorganization
of the Internal Revenue service. The
proposition is to reduce the existing tax

qulre the payment Of the tax at the dis
tllleries, 10 reduce the number OF officials
and make their positions permanent,
with an annual advance TO pay for merl-
torious services, and to require
frequent cha sc of stations; the abolition
ofspecial clauses oflaw in regard 10 recti-
fers. and also proposed that producers OF
grape brandy and cider brandy shall
have q right to sell either by wholesale or
retail Statements rs TO the u'clessness
of the gauging system in wholesale
liquor dealing establishments were made
and it was argued that the tax system
facilitated the commission OF frauds.

THE STATE DEMOCRATIC cox
VENIION.

By reference to the advertisement pub.
lished above AID also to the special dis
patch elsewhere, it will be seen that the
time for holding the convention will be

as reported yesterday and the object ot
thesame will be to nominate full State
ticket and appoint tine delegates two
from each Congressional district, and four
from the State at lurge) to the National
Convcntioa st -. Louis June 9th.
The meeting q! the Executive Com
mitteo was very harmonious, and the
points under discussion were, 1st, wheth-
or the location of the Convention should
be changed from Charleston to some
other point; I'd, the time for the Conven-
ton to assemble, and Sd, whether there
should be two Conventions, or two meet
ings Of single one-one before the Ma
tional Convent N, to simply appoint
delegates to St. Louis, and the other after
the sad Convention, to ratify the Ma
tional nominees, and place the State ticket
in the ield-or whether there should be
only one Convention to do all the work
ST one meeting.
The objection advanced TO Charleston
as the place, was that there were no hotel
accommodations there. Upon its being
ascertained that there would be no diff

course, tell to the ground, and the former
determination of the committee on that
point was adhered to.

toned, and as to the third, it was de-
cided to have only one session and one
convention for the following reasons:
That if there should be held two con-
veptiops, it would involve considerable
trouble and expense. and prosably Meth
er would be very numerously attended,
and this same objection also existed con-
cerning the holding Of two meetings OF
the same convention. Again the only
objects of making nominations after the
national, ticket was in the field would be
for the purpose Of ratltylng the
same. and framing platform.
The ratification would be
simply formal proceeding, and
1t was the unanimous expression of the
Committee that no platform was needed
in the State What the party proposes to
fight on is simply opposition to general
fraud dishonesty and corruption con-
den,ed into the one word "Radicalism."
That is a simple platform, one readily
understood. and therefore all that Is need
ed. We believe that in this regard, the
determination of the Committee Is wise
and proper. And in this con-
nection we simply desire to
call attention TO the adver-
ment of the Committee heretofore men
toned. 1t Contains the ring Of the true
metal Harmonious action is advocated
