PROSPECTUS.
Columbus Daily Democrat,

For years the Democrats of Ohio have Ia
mented the lack of Democratic daily paper
at the Capital of the State. To supply this
want we will, on and after December 1, 1878,
begin the publication of Morning Daily
paper. to be issued seven times a week, and
known as the "COluna6us Daily Democrat"
The DEMOCRAT will advocate the elevation
of men to public places who will honestly Ia
Dor to enforce Democratic principles as laid
down by the Democracy in convention as
sembled.
Believing the Democratic party is greater
than any man, or combination of men, the
DEMOCRAT will never be the organ of any
clique or ring, inside or outside of the Dem
ocratic party.
Believing that Honesty in the administra-
tion of public affairs is one of the fundamen'
tai principles of Democracy, the DEMOCRAT
will not hesitate to criticise or condemn the
action of any public officer who fails in his
public duty, or violates his party pledges.
We shall labor to make the DEMOCRAT the
best paper in Central Ohio, and the best local
paper at the Capital. We will publish full
Telegraphic Reports, and our Market News
can be relied on. We shall aim to publish
newspaper that no man need blush to intro
duce at his fireside. Our columns will be
open to all who wish to express their views
upon any side of any question.
We appreciate the gravity of the enter
prise we are entering upon, but we mean to
deserve success; and having earned the right
to the hearty endorsement of the Ohio De-
mocracy, we shall hope for your generous
support.
Our terms will be $40 a year in advance, or
80 cents month.

Shot.Guns and Tissue.PaDer.

Official evidence comes now from
another quarter of the South, showing
cruel violence and unblushing frauds
on the part of the Democrats. The
story from Louisiana, given in our
Washington dispatches, is the state
ment of the United States District-At-
torney for the Northern District of
Louisiana, who has come to Washing
ton for instructions as to his course in
dealing with these OutrageS end frauds.
He declares that it will be necessary to
make $50 or 300 arrests ia one parish,
il all the criminals are to be appre-
hended, and draws pitifuI picture of
the hopeless struggles of the poor blacks
for their rights against the superior
intelligence of the whites, and their
overwhelming strength in orgdniza-
ton, military equipments, etc.
The Democratic press in the North
manifest disposition to deprecate the
revival of the sectional issue, and try
to cast doubt upon the correctness of
statements like these. They forget
that these stories come from too many
quarters of the South at once, and
agree in too many of their substantial
truth. The descriptions of the tissue
paper ballots in South Carolius, and of
the method of their use, sent from DIFF
ferent points by candidate for Con-
gres5 and an Internal Revenue officer,
tally exactly. The Republicans are
everywhere denied representation
among the election officers, in Louisi-
ana as well as in South Carolina, and
Federal supervisors are everywhere
thrust out of their places by violence.
All this evidence could not have been
manufactured; the job is too big.
As for the sectional issue-Well, if
Democrats were being killed by the
score in New York City just because
they were Democrats, the press of that
party would be likely to raise ''sec-
tional issue" of the very largest dimen-
sions.-N. Y. Tribune,

In New Haven, the controversy
about religious exercises in public
schools has been settled for the present
by a return to the old plan of a uniform
manner of opening the schools, with
out regard to differences of religious
faith among the pupils. The plan re
commended by large number OF
mi listers, providing for separate forms
for Protestant and Catholic children,
and which at one time seemed likely
to be adopted, was finally rejected by
the Board of Education, by a vote OF
seven to one.
