Dem ocralic Tactics in Ohio.

approaching Congressional elections. II has gone
through all the public ms titutiOns and the large
cities of the State and wherever legislation was
needed to turn republicans out of office and put
democrats in it has been promptly supplied. The
city governments of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Day
ton and Toledo have been reconstructed in a
most shameless manner to suit PARTISAN ends.
Cleveland, where the republicans have q popular
majority, is being supplied with laws which place
the disposition of official patronage IN the hands
Of the governor, while Cincinnati, which has a
permanent democratic majority, is furnished
with legislation of directly opposite

The bill passed the House under the party lash,
but was defeated in the Sepaie to-day by one vote,
some of the Cleveland democrats, feeling It's ap
plication IN their city, voting against II. II Is
stated, however. that the necessary vote has been
secured, aud the bill will yet go through. The
inconsistency of the measure was sharply pointed
out in the debate to day, bat the democratic argu-

effect of this kind of work, is urging the legl-la-

searched ior 1t everywhere and anywhere but
where 1t really is-in the human body itself. The
blood is the real fountain of perpetual heath and
youth. When this source is corrupted, the painful
and sortow-producing effects are visible IN many

When the democrats of the last Con-
gress were cutting down the appropria-
tions without rhyme or reason, the repub-
licans repeatedly warned them that their
boosted economy would disappear when
the deficiency bills, which would be neces-
sary. came to be passed. Two or three
bills of this character have already been
reported in the House and the democrats,
in order to avoid the odum, attempted
Wednesday to amend the title OF the last

mr.. vandsrbil.'s Derence.

We regret that Mr.. vanderbilts letter,
which we print to-day, was not deferred
until after the meeting last night in Stein
way Hall, since we are curious to see what
reply can be made TO the specific allegations
made in Mr.. Simon Sterne's speech. But
Mr.. Vanderbilt may write another letter,
and it seems incumbent on him to do so
unless he is willing that the statements put
forth last evening shall be accepted by this
community as true. He claims that arrange
ments made by the two New York
roads within the last year "placed the
New York shippers upon an equal
footing and gave to them the same adyan-
tages as were enjoyed by the merchants of
any rival city," This claim is inconsistent
Steinway Hall. II it be true that goods arc
shipped from Liverpool to Chicago ut lower
rates than from New York to Chicago; il it
be true that New York merchants can ship
merchandise to Chicago by way of Boston
cheaper than over Mr.. Vanderbilt's road,
then it is not true that the New
York shipper is upon an equal footing
with the merchants OF any rival city, This
discrepancy, this absolute contradiction, be-
tween tho statement Of MIR. Vanderbilt and
the statements of Mr.. Stcroe, ought TO DO
cleared up. Our shipping merchants will
await with great interest Mr.. Vandcrbilt's
review and reputation Of tho accusations
set forth with 80 much indignant emphasis
by the mouthpiece of the assembled mer-
chants. Mr.. Vanderbilt may have per-
fectly good defence, and now is the time for
him to present il.

A New source OF wealth.

Soon after the close Of the late civil war
the attention of certain planters in the
South, especially in Louisiana, was directed
to o new fibre known as ramie, which it
was alleged would, in its production to the
acre, be more profitable than cotton, and in
its use as textile supply the place of jute.
hemp, fax and other similar materials.
Experiments were made and still continue
in various portions of the South, and the
results generally are described as favorable.
Thus far, however, it appears that our in
ventors have not been successful in making
machinery whereby the various productions
Of the fbre-as for instance in the con-
struction Of paper, coarse cloth, car
pets and bagging--can be economically
utilized. The concurrent testimony is to
the effect that ramie is q hardy, easily
grown plant and under certain conditions
easily manipulated; that its most impor-
tant uses are in the germ and are only await
ing the Developments of experience, art and
science to be made available among the
larger industrial resources Of the United
States. II it be true that from twenty EIGHT
to thirty millions of dollars are annually ex-
pended by us for foreign fbres, and that we
have within our grasp ON equivalent OF
these materials, surely the country that pro-
duced the cotton gin will not be long in
finding way to add value to new product
and make for it O market.

it recounts that arrangements are already

Europe is likely to take in the great occa-

and though none are reigning princes the
fact is clear that they are to be on hand in a
representative character. which gives their
