Rrom the Dayton Daily Democracy.

THE trial of Babcock for his alleged
completely ia the safe.burglary con-
spiracy at Washington is soon to take
place. He will be acquitted. Iu the
first place he is the particular pet of
Grant, holding two or three positions
by his appointment. Besides this, the
testimony taken before the Judiciary
Committee in the case has never been
copied from the stenographic report
and placed upon record, and none Of
the witnesses are now in Washington.
The Administration has taken particu-
lar pains to put the matter in a shape
which renders the conviction of Bah
cock next to an impossibility, and his
acquittal may therefore be counted
upon as certain.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-09-07

am now your candidate. 1 will use
every honorable exertion for election.
You may depend upon my cordial co.
operation. but after all, it is, in these
days, your struggle more than it is
mine. 1 shall continue the fight for
retrenchment in the future, as in the
past; and, if reelected, I will continue
to work into the mines OF extravaganza
and corruption, and never relax in
what little energy 1 may possess, in
the publication of u administration
so far as my power may extend.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-09-07

Where so many corruptions have been
developed, and their perpetrators re
main in power or position; where so
many determinations have been con-
tinually made against the people and
in favor of the few where so much
extravaganza has prevailed for 50
many years, with no serious effort to
correct or control it, we are driven to
the conclusion that all these evils are
not mere accidents to the body polite
or occasional mistakes of the republi.

ious organization and an improper sys'

Green back Meeting.

COLUMBUS, O.. April Elm answer 10
the call for q mass State Convention of
those interested in the issue of more
greenbacks, about twenty-five persons
met here to day. II. U. Sheldon, of
Oberlin, was chosen president, and Ralph
Leete, Of Ironton, secretary. The fol-
lowing platform was adopted:
WHEREAS, In view of the failure Of
the present Democratic House of Rep
tatives and the Republican Sem
ate to repeal the odlous
and oppressive specie resumption act
of January 14th, 1870, and to furnish
financial relief to the depressed industries
of the country, thus disappointing the
just hopes and expectations of suffering
people; and in view of the alarming de-
velopment Of fraud, bribery and official
corruption that prevail and debauch
every branch of the public service, men,
scing the very existence of our free insti-
tutions, We offer the suggestions for 4
remedy embodied in the following reso-
lutions:
Resolved, That we earnestly appeal to
the people of Ohio and of other States to
organize themselves tor the purpose OF
carefully considering the perilous condl-
tion Of the country, and to unite and
weld their influence and political power
in securing the renovation OF the Gov
ernment. especially for the unconditional
repeal of the so-called resumption act,
and for the achievement Of their rescue
from the disaster of enforcement.
Resolved, That we believe United
States note issued directly by the govern
ment, convertible on demand into United
States interest bearing obligations, equiy-
alent in value to gold, and exchangeable
for United States notes at par, will afford
the best circulating medium enjoyed by
any section; we believe such a system
of currency will finally prevail, not
only in the United States, but
in Great Britain and all civilized
countries of the world. Such United
States notes should be a legal tender and
receivable by the government tor al!
dues, including customs.
Resolrsd, That we hold that it is the
duty of the government to furnish a cir
culating medium to the country.
The following executive committee
was appointed and authorized to ap-
point delegates to the National Green
back Convention to be held at Indian
apolis on May 18th.

FROM the loIeuo blaue.
We publish on our eigth page a
lengthy article describing the system Of
the noted specialist, DR.. X. V. Pierce, Of
Buffalo, N. Y IN which he sets forth
with con siderable force and clearness
his reasons for devoting his whole time
and attention to single department Of
medicine-the treatment of lingering
chronic diseases. The same article Also
takes up the subjects Of diagnosis, meth.
ods OF consultation and treatment, etc.
and will be found to contain many
valuable hints to the invalid. Dr.
Pierce i. the author Of work which
has already attained large circulation
--"The Peoples Common Sense Medical
Adviser" containing some nine hundred
numerously-illustratcd pages, and devoted
TO medicine in all its branches, work
well calculated for the guidance and in
struction Of the people at large, and
which may be had fer $780, postpaid. by
addressing the author. DR.. Pierce has
now been before the general public long
enough TO enable the formation Of u care
ful estimate of the efficiency OF his treat
ment and his medicines. and the verdict,
we are glad 10 know, has been universal
ly favorable Ia both.

HE Silver Bill.

WAsuINcroN, April o.-TheHouse bill
TO provide for "A deficiency in the printing
bureau and for the issue of silver coin in
place of fractional currency is amended
bv the Senate Finance Committee. The
bill striking out the third section ana
providing in lieu of it that there shall
be coined Il lew silver dollar of AZ and
s lilo grains OF standard silver, and
that this new coin shall be legal tender
to the amount of $40 in any one payment
except for customs and for interest on
public debt These coins may exehchang-
ed by the Treasury for an equal amount
Of United States notes to be thereby re-
tired The department may also ex-
change these coins at their nominal value
for silver bullion at its market value as
fixed bv the Director OF the mint, and
the United States notes and fractional
currency redeemed under this act are to
be held rs part Of the sinking fund pro-
vided for by the existing law.
Another amendment provides that the

tender for any amount whatever.

The House then resumed the consider.
alton OF bill to carry into operation the
Hawaiian treaty.
An address in favor of the bill were
made by Messrs. Mooney and Garfield
Mr.. Gibson spoke opposing.
Mr.. Wood of New York, who has
charge of the bill gave notice that as
there were but two speeches to be made
on it, be would endeavor to get the vote
on it next Monday.
The house then went into q committee
of the whole, with Mr.. Cox in the chair,
on the legislative appropriation bill and
at 4:30 took recess till 1870 The
evening session is to be for the same bus
mesa.
Evening Session.
The evening session opened with an
attack on the Committee on Appropria-
tion. carried on by Messrs. Joyce, Dun
nell, Townsend and Williams, which
attack was repelled on the part OF the
committee by Messrs. Randall, White
house and Willard.
An amendment offered TO insert an
item for sternographer for the Com
troller Of the currency was after half an
hours debate rejected by strict party
vote.
After progressing as far as the 25th
page of the bill, Mr.. Randall suggested
that as the silver bill was likely to become
law, very much of the hardships caused
bya reduction of the force III the Printing
Bureau of the Treasury Department
could be mtigated by having the revenue
stamps which were now printed under
contract printed by the Bureau. He un-
derstood that by this means employment
could be given to about two-thirds of the
force lately employed there, and he also
understood that the Secretary of the
Treasury had already given the requisite
ninety days notice to end the contracts.
The committee then rose and the
House adjourned.

Nomination OF Hoffman Atkinson
Confirmed.
National Negro convention.

NASHVILLE, April S.--The National
Colored Convention was IN session over
four hours to-day. The attendance Of
spectators both white and colored was
very large, the galleries and lobbys
Of the House cf Representatives being
packed to their capacity.
The Committee on Resolution not be-
ing able to agree the proceedings were
unimportsnt, except two speeches from
PInchbsck and Smith, of Alabama.
Plnchback did not take the new depar-
ture expected, but his speech had q strong
flavor Of independence. He said that The
colored people were beginning to think
for themselves, and would never
again vote the Republican ticket
in solid column as heretofore. He said
the South ceald never prosper while the
party lines were race lines. He wanted
no more color line in politics, but the
division of parties on other than race
lines.
Senator c. S. Smith followed Pinch.
brck, making powerful speech in favor
of new departure. He advised
that the black no longer remain in
the Republican party, bat make
terms with their white Southern friends,
and hereafter vote for honest and com
petent men without regard to party. His
speech made profound impression, and
was received with great applause by both
the whites aud blacks. There is strong
element in the convention in favor OF
this departure, and canvassing is very hot
