The Ohio and Indiana Conven-
ily tfZa tIOnss ~ : SIX

.t s-l $50. tIOu0S tW I'D
The Democratic Conventions held in
the great States of Ohio and Indiana, on
Monday, were imposing affairs in both
the numbers and the character of those
comprising them. Able speeches were
made in the Ohio Convention by Hon.
George H Pendletoh, General Durbin
Ward and General Thomas Ewing, and
the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted: 3a ''s'7 -, %
Resolred, l. That the government Of
the United States is republican. in spirit
as well as in form. 1t is a government
Of law, not of arbitrary force. Il is
founded on universal suffrage, lawfully
exercised, and its existence depends on
good faith and sincere obedience to the
laws.
That the votes cast on the rth of
November and duly certified at the close
of the election on that day by the Off
GERS authorized to receive and record
them, alone determine the result OF the
election held in any precinct, county or
State; and that whatever may be the re.
turns then duly ard properly certified,
they can not lawfully be changed by any
officer authorized to canvass them an6
announce the result.
That, while clear in the conviction
that Samuel j. Tilden and Thomas A.
Hendricks have received not only large
majority of popular vote, but ma
jority Of the electoral vote, and are,
therefore, elected President and Vice
President, we yet declare that any de-
cision made by the Senate and House OF
Representatives will be cheerfully &C.
quesced in by the whole people,. and
that any attempt to inaugurate a Presi-
dent simply upon the proclamation OF
the President Of the Senate will be an
act of usurpation that will be resisted
by the people to the last extremity, even
should that extremity be an appeal to
arms.
4. That the impudent and unfounded
charge that those who protest against
the exercise of illegal and arbitrary
power desire to foment strife and incite
civil war is made by conspirators 10
withdraw the public mind from their
own evil design 10 I,frustrate the sover.
eign will Of The people as expressed
through the ballot box on the 7th Of
November last ' =. -' i''-
g. That we denounce the action of
President Grant in following the exam
pie Of the military chieftains OF Mexico
in interfering by armed force in the elec-
tons of the people, in preventing the
lawful organization of State Legislatu-
res, and in massing troops at Washing

DtspOIl q Grave and steal the UIo;h.
Ing or C0Fpse.

A correspondent OF the Toledo Com
nleTciGt, writing from Bairdstovn,
Wood county, under date of March
2lst, gives the following particulars OF
8 most dastardly set OF graveyard
desecration and body stealing
A daughter Of James Archer, OF
Henry township, Wood county, about
tnree-fOurths Of mile east OF New
Baltimore, about ten years Of age, was
taken sick and died, and was buried
on Monday Of this week, in the Bethel
Chureh graveyard, on Ten Mile creek.
During Monday night men were
heard going up and down the steps in
Ogden's block, at Bairdstown, by
those living in the building, bat as
the parties were heard to depart, no
special attention was excited by these
movements.
On Tuesday, yesterday NIr. Fish
er's daughter, living in the block, had
occasion to enter the unoceupied
room, and found 3 strange sack con-
tanning what, upon examination. was
found to be the dead body of James
Archer's child, with the name Of "W.
e. Heaton" on the sack, which had
evidently been borrowed for the pur-
pose for which it was used. Joseph
Archer and wife, living near here,
were the first among the friends to
arrive aud identify the body as that Of
Miss Allie Archer. The body was en-.
tlrel y nude, not 3 particle Of dress
having been let on 1t except q small
ribbon tied to its hair. From bruises
and scars found on the body the
human hyenss disintering it did not
handle il very carefully. An inquest
was held last evening and the body
dressed and taken in charge by
friends, and will probably be taken
away to-day by tbs parents. Nothing
dehnlte OF course is known of the
parties who perpetrated the deed, but
we may know about the matter in the
future.
