The Democratic party wants to re-
form the nation. "Gott in Himmel,"
that would make a dog laugh. Just
think of Sam Tilden and Boss Tweed
arm in arm followed by Tom Hen
bricks and jeff Davis, John Morris
sey and Ben Hill, Horatio Seymour
and Wade Hampton, Blue Jeans Will
liams and Henry Clay Dean, Bigger
man-than- Grant Fitzhugh and Voor-
hees, Senator Eaton and Hambleton
who named his son J. Wilkes Booth,
Sunset Cox and Proctor Knott, Judge
Hendershott and David Morgan, and
all the scum and blacklegs Of New
York City, paired of with the black
hearted and redhanded Kukluk muir
derers of the South, marching up to
the White House and attempting to
"reform" the nation. Wouldn't that
make old dog Tray laugh at the very
idea? And yet no man dare deny
that these very men are fair samples
of the Democratic party. Tilden the
purjurer, tax-swindling, railroad
wrecking, secessionist and Boss
Tweed his bosom companion for
years, who stole fifty millions from
New York city. Tom Hendricks,
the Indiana secession sympathizer,
the reasonable X. G. c., with Jeff
Davis who had his sympathies. Nor
rissey the prize fighter, whose gamb-
ling hell is the orst in the land, the
bosom friend of Tilden, and Ben Hill,
the fire-eating, unrepentant rebel de-
fender of Jeff Davis and apologizer
for Andersonville, and so on. This
would make a beautiful government
run by such men. Just think of it,
you soldiers, who saved the country
from these fellows clutches.

81. b. Hendershott, as editor of the
Ottumwa Mercury, in January 1862,
nine months after the war broke out,
declared that "rather than see these
Estates remain disrupted, we would
"prefer that slavery should prevail over
"eUe,y free State Of the North" Just
think of it. Rather than prosecute
the war, and whip those rebels, and
keep them out of representation in
Congress, las should have been
done1 he was willing TO extend slav-
cry into every Northern State. This
is the kind of man that the Bour-
bons want in congress. The Repub-
licans have Judge Sampson for a can
didate, a gallant soldier and man
above reproach. :

peaters. Democracy is desperate. 1t
must have New York, or it stands no
show, and although the State is Republi-
can by about $4,000 majority on a fair
vote, yet that can be easily counted out in
New York City, as Tilden counted Girls
void out and Hoffman in, in 1868. A fair
election the United States over, would
give us 80 majority, at least, on the cleo
toral vote; fraud, and fraud alone can de-
feat us, and the past warns us to beware
of the most gigantic ballot box stufing
that was ever perpetrated.

When the rebellion broke out,
Tom Hendricks, Democratic candi-
date for Vice President, was a mem
Der of the First Presbyterian church,
and because his pastor urged all
Christian people to sustain the Gov
eminent against the rebels, Tom Hen
bricks and few fellow Democrats,
left the church, never to return. He
now wants the second place in that
government.

JAMES MATHEWS, one of the green
back candidates for Congress in this
district, will decline the nomination
in few days, in favor of Hender-
shott, and already many of his bench
men in this county are working for
that old Bourbon. They appear bound
to sell the greenback element out to
the Democracy. Republican green

The Louisiana Senatorship.

The Louisiana Senatorship.
A Washington special to the New York
Times saye:
The report Of Mr.. Morton, from the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections, in the
Louisiana senatorial contest, excited the
slumberipg energies of the Democratic
Senators, and set them to work to prepare
for the consideration of the report on Thurs
day next, as Mr.. Morton gave notice that
he would call it up on that day. The ma
iority of the committee took the ground that
there was no vacancy when Mr.. Eustis was
elected, and reported to that effect, and that
Mr. Plnchback was duly elected to the seat
in 1873. They recommended that the Gre
dentials of Mr.. Eustis lay on the table.
Mr.. Merrimou, Of North Carolina; MIR.
Salisbury, of Delaware, and Mr. Cooper,
of Tennessee, the three Democratic
members, dssented from the expression
of the majority Of the committee, and gave
notice that at q proper time they would
give the reasons for their disagreement.
They take the ground that there was
vacancy at the time of Mr.. Eustis' 80 called
election, aud that Mr.. Pinchback never was
duly elected. As soon as this report OF the
committee had b, en- made, arrangements
were made for ca ling Democratlc sen
atorial caucus, and after the adjournment
of the Senate the cancus met In the room
of the Committee on Revolutionary Claims
They had, however, but short talk upon
the line of rollcy to be pursued in deter
mining this long. contested senatorial eiec,
tion in Louisiana, as some OF the
prominent Democratic Senators we're
absent. A prominent Democratic Sen
ator who took part said, however, that
they would make Q bitter fight TO-
prevent the admission of Pinchback. For,
says he, "Mr. Morton agrees that It Mr..
Pinchback does not get his seat, Mr.: Eustis
will be the Senator from Louisiana" !"
"Everything depends" said the same Sena.
ator, upon defeating the admission OF
Pinchback." There may be, however. and
probably viii be. some difficulty about
Mr.. Eustis getting his seat, even If Mr..

her flag during the war to save capture,
tor which there was some disposition to
punish her.
During the discussion, Mr.. Wood said he
was not specially opposed to the passage of
this bill, but that his remarks were intended
to be general in their application, as to ship
yards of this country being silent; that
fact was attributable to the gentleman's
(Kassons) political friends who imposed
euoh protective tariff ON every
vessels that it was impossible to
build vessels in this country, and
run them in competition with the cheaply
| built vessels Of other countries. He Wood
was an advocate of free ships, and had
been always in favor of free trade, bellev-
| ing that American industry, American en-
| terprise, American capital and American
| progressiveress enabled this country to
compete with all other countries.

shall be ineligible to re- election"

Mexico at the Centennial.

The Mexico City correspondent Of the
San Francisco Chronicle says:
Undoubtedly one OF the most interesting,
newell and unique works Of art exhibited at
the American centennial will be an archi-
tectural plan of this historic city. The
dimensions are 800 feet from north to south
and 23l feet from east to west. All the
characteristics of the capital will be pOr-
trayed with the greatest fidelity, as for in
stance the irregularity of the heights of
the buildings, the color of the frontings, the
signs on the business houses, the number of
doors, windows and balconies on each
street, the pavements and sidewalks. This
model city will be peopled by $4,000
human figures, of good size, made of lead
and adorned exquisitely, representing men
in various fashionable national costumes
and otherwise, ladies elegantly dressed for
the opera, ball and social party, besides
types from the common people. Fruit
venders, ice cream vendere, pOrters, water
carriers, etc. with their fantastic outfits,
will be given to life. There will be no less
than 1900 coaches and an equal number OF
other vehicles, besides artillery pieces mount
ed on carts. Nearly all the noticeable build
ings will be visible. the grand cathedral, the
principal Catholic churchee, the mint, offices
Of the railroads, the National Library, the
School of Fine Arts, the Hotel Iturbide, and
others. The National Palace and other no.
table buildings are not constructed in the
plan, but proper steps have been taken to
get permission to do go. When included
the work will be complete. The idea of the
novel undertaking originated with Don
Francisco Tajardo, Antonio Fomas, Fran.
cisco Cervantes. Manuel Acosta and
Andoquio Sanchez, all we'll known and
enterprising citizens. They have associated
with them Don Vincente Fernandez, an
eminent mechanic and a'tist. When the
project was nrst broached, nearly two years
ago, it was thought that 80 daring piece
Of enterprise could not be completed in
time; but the gentlemen having it in hand
went to work energetical!y, and will have
| it ready at the proper date tor shipment to
Philadelphia. A Mexican writer. speaking
| of the work, savs, satirically, that the dis
tinguished foreigners who believe that the
Mexicans dress in feathers and shoot with
arrows, will be astonished to gaze upon tht
| magnificent toilettes of the laaies, the walk
| ing canes of the fashionables, and the love
of handsome, picturesque costumes which
| characterize the descendants of the Aztect
| and the Spaniards. When the whole plaI
alluded to is completed and set up accord
! ing to the model in the centennial building
| it is certain that NO other notable object
can attract greater attention.
