VERY IeNIFIcANT-The Democratic plat
form is being changed to suit every locality
It is one thing in the North, another in ths
South. In the Rome Daily NsU,, Rome, Ca,
and the Weekly Courier, of the same place, tho
following is the version given # one Of tho,
Democratic plarks:
"Reform is necessary TO rebuild and estfo-
lish in the hearts of the whole people the
Union, eleven years ago happily rescued FROM
the danger OF q corrupt srnlrGlisrn which, aftes
inflicting upon ten States the rapacity of car
pet bag tyrannies, has honey -combed the
offices of the Federal Government itself with
incapacity, waste and fraud; infected States
and municipalities with the contsgion Of mis-,
rule, and locked fast the prosperity Of an it.
dustrious people in, the paralysis OF hard
times"
The original text, as published in Natherr
papers, is as follows:
"Reform is necessary to rebuild and estao-
lish in the hearts of the whole people the
Union, eleven years ago happily rescued from
the danger of q secession Of States" &c.
The change is a slight one, to be sure, but
very important one. The Northern version is
to lead the friends of the Uniou 70 berfeys that
Democracy is in favor Of Union and opposed
to secession. The Southern version is to i'm
press upon the Southern mind that Democracy
is friendly to the Lost Cause, and openly in
favor of the principles of secession. Like the
man who stands as the Presidential candidate
on this platform, Democracy has two faces,
neither of which has an honest expression.

of greenbacks, fractional currency, and debt

this statement the Pacific railroad bonds are
not included.

Secretary Morrill, expects to reduce the in
terest on SAC, 600, 900 of the $50 bonds from

now, by 5000, 900 per annnm.

from their respective dates, between 1862 and
1865. The roads are repaying or refunding part
of the interest on these bonds by tfansporta-

The statement that the Buchanan Admins

been challenged repeatedly by Democratic
speaker and writers. This is sheer folly. The
fact that small loan of $4,000, 900 could be
obtained only in driblets, and at rates of inter-
est ranging from to IL per cent. per annum,
is matter of official record, running through

London Dispatch In New York Herald.
At length Queen Victoria is officially
proclaimed Empress d Indiana-pro-
claimed, too, after the favorite medlaval
fashion. On Tuesday the heralds and
trumpeters went forth, and the Sheriffs
read the decree at the Royal Exchange,
at Charing Cross and the Town Hall,
Brentford.
On the following day the imperial an
nouncement was made at Edinburgh
Cross. The Scotch ceremony was most
pictures que, and was conducted by the
heralds, pursuivants and the Queens
trumpeter for Scotland, Duke of Albany
His Royal Highness Duke of Edin-
burgh), who read the proclamation,
which was responded to by the Marquis
of Butte as pursuivant.
The affair created a great stir, and at
tracted an assemblage of almost unequal
ed brilliancy. Thousand of the Scot
tish nobility attended, with their suits
and equipages. Since the days of the
Prince Consort Her Majesty has been
great favorte in the North and its
doubtful if the loyal Scots would refuse
the sovereign anything that did not alb
solutely amount to q cur
tailment of the liberties of
the masses. The gorgeous uniforms
of the mi.itary and the rich attire
of the ladies united in forming one of the
most interesting spectacles. The heralds
wore the regular insignia of their Office,
and the pursuivants carried the mace and
other emblems of ancient authority. A
detachment of the Seventy. y.ninth High
landers, one of the finest Scotch regi.
ments of the line, formed the guard of
honor, having full band at its head, all
dressed in kilt AMI long tunic.
