BRoruEHIY LovE.-rhc democrats are
just now shouting jubiantly over the election
to Congress, by an overwhelming majority,
Of Mr. Watterson, of the Louisville (Ken-
tucky) Jo,unai-the gentleman who so sue
cessfully run the late st. Louis convention.
That Mr.. Watterson is an able man none
will deny: but how much his advent in the
halls of Congress will do to bury the bloody
shirt and convince the Northern brethren
that the South is entirely loyal and sweet
tempered--rumiug over, JUDGED, with good
will and hrotherly lovr--i~ not qnite so clear.
In reply to the Cincinnati Coumercidi. con
spicuously independent Journal, which can
didly admitted, after the Hamburg mas
sacre, that there is in the South "a degree Of
democratic idol bursts out in his JOu7,di "a,
follows d" 1t is this driyeling cant; this
poor, spiteful hypocrisy; this low, mean aud
vulgar self-righteousness this vile and vim
| dictivt demagogueism this well-clad and
masked brutality issuing through every rad
ioal pore, granny, orevice and channel; in
the short-hared snort of such political prize
fighters as the editor of the Commercial, the
whole eliminating in an administrative and
legislative system destructive of our material
interests which give the South it's just
reason to hate and to eNecrate the Republ
lican party and the Republican policy"

Tilden's Base Surrender.

II anything were wanting to show conclu-
siyely that the democratic party had been sold
out TO the inflatonists--that the Hendricks
tail had proved able to waggle the Tilden
dog-it would be furnished ia the following
from the Cincinnati Enquirer the most out
spoken, uncompromising organ of the iuna-
tionists in the country. Before the St. Louis
convention it heaped no end OF abuse on Mr.
Tilden's head, and left no stone unturned to
prevent his nomination. N0,c it says Mr.
rildcn says that the government having as
sumed to monopoli1e the supply OF currency
and enacted exclusions against everybody
else. it is bound TO furnish all which the
wants of business require It is an EN-
phatic statement, for whose truth the Ohio
democracy have commended. 1t is couched
almost in the very words OF our platform OF
1875, which was so bitterly berated. 1t is
a public announcement by our candidate,
under circumstances of great responsibility,
with the eyes of the nation fixed on him, OF
one Of the fundamental ideas for which we
in Ohio and the West have been contending
lie says, further that the system should
passively allow the volume OF circulating
credits TO ebb and flow according to the ever
changing wants of business. 1t should
initiate as closely as possible the natura
laws of trade This is the heart, the soul
the essence of the Ohio democratic platforms
of 1874 and 1875. And still further, which
seems an echo of our platform of last year
he says that resumption should be effected
10y such measures as would keep the aggre
gate amount of currency self-aGjusting dur
ing the process without creating at any tim'
an artificial scarcity, and without exciting
public imagination with alarms, which i'm
pair confidence and distract the whole ma
chinery of credit and disturb the natura
operations of business.
II any Western democrat had been nom
mated for the Presidency, it is doubtful i
he would have put into his letter of accept
ance such pronounced professions in favo
of the Western belief concerning the cur
rency. We do not think that any Western
candidate who could have been nominate,
would have been in his accepting letter 81
brave in defence of the friends of currenc
reform as Mr.. riden has been generous AM
statesmanlike, We opposed the nomnato
of Mr.. Tilden. When nominated, we CAV
him support. With his letter before us, W
cordially call upon our friends everywher

Democratic civil Service Reform.


The declaration Of the st. Louis platform,
made and repeated with such iuterminable
reiteration. that " reform is necessary" is
slrikingly illustrated and sustained by the
manner in which the civil Offices under con
troll of the present democratic House Of Rep
rescutativcs have been filed and admins.
tered during the present session. A writer
in the New York Times gives list OF the
names Of Republicans turned out Of office,
with short biographical sketches of the dis
abed Union soldiers, and also list OF ap-
poiutments made by the democratic House,
arranged in PARALLEL columns. We have not
space for this list, but give the following
analysis Of it, and beg our readers To show
it 20 their democratic neighbors
An examination of the table shows that
there were discharged from the doorkeepers

from the clerks office, nineteen Union
soldiers; from the post Office, thirteen Union
soldiers from the capitol police, two--mak-

December. A number Of these soldiers were
disabled in the service.

the employees of the present House, such as
extra messengers, folders, and extra commit

the reason that they are paid upon vouchers
instead Of a regular roll A great number
Of these extra employees are ex-coufederates
and if the facts could be ascertained in all
the cases, the number Of ex-confederate sol

the number of the Union soldiers discharged
The post-offce rolls show the most wanton
disregard by the confederate House Of the
obligations Of the government TO its disabled
soldiers, where nearly every man discharged
served in the Union army, and with two ex
ceptions every man appointed WAS con
federate.

IIoRRIBIE This story comes from Alamance
county. n. c.; DIR. Hooper, dentist, living in
the northern part of the county, went to the
breakfast table prepared TO poison his wife, for
what reasons we have not learned. They were
seated alone nj the table. After pouring out the
coffee, Mrs. Hooper was dispatched out OF the
room on some pretext, and In her absence her
husband poured into her cup a deadly mixture.
She returned, and it happened that the doctor
himself was called from the room for a moment
In his absence fly fell into his cup, and Mrs
Hooper, wiie-like, exchanged cups. The doctor
returned, aud drank his coffee almost at one
swallow He at once detected the singular tastG
OF the beverage, and asked his wife II she had
changed cups. She replied that she had, giving
the reason for 1t, when he exclaimed, Then

FIRsr DIsTmcr,-fhe democratic nom
mating convention for this district was held
at Rutland on Thursday last. Quite a strife
occurred for the empty honors of the nom.
ination. After several ballots, the strength
of Mr. Randall, of Rutland, was transferred
to A. T. Chlds, of Bennington, who was
thereby nominated. There were four del
egates present from Washington county, and
as we learn that our democrats are not over
pleased with the nomination, the total of
Mr., Child's supporters in Washington county
may not greatly exceed the number of dele
gates. Mr.. +. II. Baseom, of Montpelier,
was made the Washington county member
of the district committee of this "reform

MISSISSIPPI LAwLEssNEss.-1h report
OF the Mississippi investigating committee
states that the present legislature of Miss
issippi was elected by fraud and intimida-

the resignation of Governor Ames was il.
legally effected by the legislature; that the
state of Mississippi is at present under con.

largely OF armed men, whose common pur.
pose is to deprive negroes of the free exer-
