Ohio Democratic Convention.
COLUMBUS, o., June

COLUMBUS, O., June q.
The Democratic State central commit.
tee has been organized, and has elected
John G.. Thompson chairman. The fol.
lowing platform was adopted by the Con-
vention.
The resolutions declare that the com.
mercial stagnation in the country is due
to the pernicious financial legislation OF
the Republican party.
While the Convention congratulates
the country that:the downward course to
bankruptcy and ruin involved in the Re-
publican policy has been partially avert
ed by the Democratic measures passed at
the late session of Congress restoring the
debt paying power to silver dollars, made
law in spite of Presidential veto, and
stopping further destruction of green.
backs, they demand as further acts of JUS
tice as well as measures of relief the
absolute repeal of the resumption act,
the lawful liberation of the coin boarded
in the treasury; the removal of the re.
strictions to the coinage of silver and the
re-establishment of silver as q money
metal the same as gold; the gradual sub.
stitution of United States legal tender
paper for National bank notes, and its
permanent establishment as the sole pa
per money of the country, made receiva-
for all dues to the Government and of
equal tender with coin.
The resolutions also protest against the
further increase of the bonded debt and
the sale of bonds for purchasing coin for
redemption purposes, and declare in ia
vor Of the gradual extinction Of the
public debt.
It is also resolved that the interests of
the industrial wealth-producing classes
is paramount to the people of the United
States. Those whose labor and enter
prise produce wealth, should be secure in
its enjoyment. Warm sympathy is ex-
tended to the laboripg classes out of EN-
ployment by the financial policy of the
Republican party, and the resolutions
pledge the Democratic party a reversal
of this policy and to restoration of all
the rights they are entitled to upon its
ascendancy to power. There can be no
legitimate employment of organized
force in this country except to execute
the law and maintain the public peace.
No violence should be countenanced to
obtain redress for any alleged grievance,
but such violence should be repressed at
any cost until relief can be secured by
legal methods. They congratulate the
country on the adoption of the constitu.
tional and pacific policy of local govern
ment in the South, so long advocated by
the Democratic party, and which has
brought peace and harmony to that sec
ton of the Union.

The latest construction of the civil SER
vice order is that placed on it by the
President to Senator Dorsey, the carpet
bag Senator from Arkansas, whose term
ends OH the 4th of next March. In this
instance the President says the order does
not prevent federal officers in Arkansas
from being delegates to the State and
County Conventions of the Republican
party, nor from speaking in the canvass.
Arkansas is a Democratic State, and the
Radicals are making every effort to se-
cure Republican Legislature to re.eloct
Mr.. Dorsey, and hence the new construc-
ton as to the civil service order, which
has become so famous. Mr.. Hayes and
his Cabinet have told the. country Of
great many things the civil service order
does not prevent federal officials from do
ing, and now we would like for them 10
tell us something that it does prevent
them from doing.

L. C. Dennis, of the Florida returning
board, seems to have been another special
case for the influence of Mr.. Hayes to
be exercised about securing an Office for
one of the men who helped to steal the
presidency for him. The following is an
extract from his testimony before the
Potter Committee, which explains itself:
In company with Gen. Lew Wallace
he called upon the President. The Pres
ident had told him (witness) that he was
one of the few men that he could afford
to take care Of and asked him what be
wanted. Witness, not being prepared
for the question, asked leave to call again,
when he would give his answer. At the
second visit he informed the President
that he wanted all authorship in the
treasury department. The President did
not promise the position, but said that
some changes might occur, and accord
iugly placed his application upon file,
with the testimonials signed by Wallace.
Bisber and VIM. e. Chandler, on the
second visit to the President, had given
witness card to Secretary Sherman,
which was produced and read Us follows:
Secretary Sherman: particularly de-
sire that MI. Dennis shall be appointed
to some good place, and I think he is
we'll fitted for it."
Witness stated that in the interval be-
tween his visits Chandler had spoken to
the President in his behalf, and on his
next visit the President gave him the
following note: :.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, April s.
Dear Sir: I am reliably assured that
L. G. Dennis, of Florida, would make
capital special agent of the treasury. /
especially desire that his name may have
your special attention.
Sincerely, R. B. HAYES.
Hon. John Sherman, Secretary, &C., &c.
Witness was finally appointed to a po-
sition in the supervising architects Office
at six dollars or seven dollars per day.
He performed no labor, however, but was
granted leave of absence for thirty days,
and went to Massachusetts and remained
away for four months, and not hearing
anything from Washington returned to
inform the government that he still lived.
He drew three months salary for the
four months he was absent.

The jury appointed by Afr. Stephens
to consider his recent conduct on ma
tional matters has rendered a verdict
sustaining Mr.. Stephens throughout eve
rything he has done, and claiming that
he has saved the country from "Me1i-
canization" and "a terrible tragedy" by
his opposition to the investigation of the
presidential fraud. The report Of the
jury is highly complimentary, but it may
be proper to add that it consisted of but
one member, and his name is Alexander
II. Stephens.

DAMAGING TESTIMONY.

The Department Clerks in Washington
recently held q meeting and passed the
following resolution relative to the de-
mand of the Republican Congressional
Committee for contribution for cams
paign purposes:
Whereas, our past experience in being
forced to subscribe various large amounts
which we have evidence we're not used
for election purposes, but simply To en-.
rich certain unscrupulous and impecu-
nious judges ~, colohels ~ and other
#ell-known frauds and inebriates; and,
whereas, we are informed that certain
notorious self.styled claim agents are
now canvassing the departments ostensi-
bly, in the interests of the Republican
Congressional Committee, but in reality,
we firmly believe, in behalf of their de.
pleted exchequers therefore, be it
Resoired, That we decline emphatically
to pay any money to these sharpers, and
call upon every clerk and employee to
follow our example.
Thus these Clerks put themselves on
record before the country as accuser' Oh
the prominent Republican members of
Congress. The charge is, in substance,
that they obtain money under false pre-
lenses and then appropriate it to their
own uses. The assessment made by the
present Congressional Campaign Com
mittee of the Republican party is ssti-
mated to raise about one and half mil
lion dollars, and, of course, it opens the
door to large transactions in the line for
which the Republican party has been. so
noted since its rise to power. The action
of the Clerks in making this refusal is
right, and it shows that they know full
we'll that the Republican party is un-
worthy of public confidence. The peo-
pie. of the nation will do well to take the
information thus rendered them, and
allow the Republican candidates for Con-
gress to stay at home after the next cleo
tion. This j, testimony from Republic
cans atont Republicans, and is therefore
no worse than the facts justify. The ma
ton cannot afford to sustain men open to
such base charges. They should be re-
tired to the shades of political oblivion.

CIRCUMsTANTIAL TESTIMONY.

In his testimony before the Potter
Committee, Mr.. w. E. Chandler stated
that subsequent to the Florida election
Mr.. Hayes had made the following ap.
pointments upon his recommendation:
Maj. E. G. Humphreys, collector at
Pensacola, Fla. Governor Stearns mem.
ber of the Hot Springs Commission |;
Judge McLin, associate justice of the
Territory of New Mexico; Geo. 81. De-
Leon, ,lecretary Of Governor Stearns, to
a clerhlhin in the treasury department /;
a young man named Phelps, a local Re-
publican in Florida, appointed in, the
treasury department and gone to Paris
with Gov. Mccormick; James Bowes,
inspector of elections at a pool near
Tallahassee where there was an alleged
fraud Of "a votes, to clerkship in the
treasury; James Bell, county judge in
Florida, clerkship in the land office |;
Capt Dennis, recommended for auditor
in the treasury, but not appointed E.:
w. Maxwell, in the detective service, of
the encouragement, and visited Florida
in that capacity during the count, ap-
pointed lieutenant in the regular army |;

men who worked up the Florida electoral
count, and yet there are people who be-
lieve that Mr.. Hayes knew nothing Of
the scheming and corruption in connec-
ton with the Presidency. Is it reason
able that be would have appointed all of
the above officers on Chandler's recon-
mendation, if he knew nothing of the
fraud? Men do not often have such in
fiuence, over another man as to get so
many appointments from him. The
truth is that Mr.. Chandler was q special
case, and as his connection with this mat
ter was fully understood by the President,
he complied with his recommendations.
This is another strong link OF circum-
stantial testimony duplicating Mr.. Hayes.

payers have in many instances bought
up considerable sums of these bills at
from ter to twenty cents on the dollar,
and would thus feel the burden of taxa
ton if paid in this way very little indeed.
It Is unfair to the other creditors of the
State, aud unfair to the people thata
preference should be shown the bills of
the Bank of the State. Of course. we
have no right to condemn the owners of
bills for not accepting this compromise.
Il is natural for them to wish to get as
much for them as possible, but by proper
management of this matter the State
will no doubt SOON convince these gen.
tlemen that the compromise offered is
the best they can get The State is
Obliged to scale these things. To pay
them in full would entail ruinous taxa
ton upon our people. South Carolina
has accomplished her political regenera-
ton, but her financial redemption yet
remains to be worked out, and it will
require years of stern economy and pru-
dence TO c6mplete this work. If we at
tempt to pay all Of the bills of the Bank
of the State, all of the floating indebted
ness left by the Radicals, and all of the
bonded debt left by them, the State will
be over burdened with taxation for half
g century. The bills Of the Bank of. the
State and the floating Indebtedness should
be scaled to iifty cents on the dollar, and
the bonded debt scrutinized as provided
by the last Legislature. Our people can
not, in justice TO themselves or to poster
ity, consent to anything. less.

The Ladd murderers are represented
by Capt. w. E. Earle, of Greenville, and
E. w. NJ. Mackey, of Charleston. Mr..
Mackey is Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney for South Carolina, and if
the cases should be transferred to the
United States Court it would be his duty
to assist in the prosecution, which as
their counsel he could not do. This Of
itself ought to defeat the motion for
transfer. Attorney General Youmans
and Solicitor Cothran will represent the
State in the motion for transfer.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1878-07-04

The Internal Revenue officers who
murdered Ladd have had their cases
transferred to Anderson County, on the
ground that they cannot get justice in
Pickens. We wonder if they are sincere
ia wanting justice? There is belief on
our part that justice is exactly what they
wish to escape, unless they wish to leave
this world Of cares, for the weight of
the testimony goes to show that justice
will entitle them TO about half an hour's
use of ten feet of hemp.

RAISING A CAMPAIGN FUND.

The Republican Congressional Com
mittee are still laboring for the mastery
of the next House Of Representatives,
and are throwing great deal of their
energy into the business of raising funds
for campaign land personal) purposes.
Inasmuch as the polite missives sent out
by them requesting such contribution
as the iberality of the various officers
might dictate has failed 10 accomplish
the desired result of filling their treasury,
these patriots have changed the form Of
their request by designating the mini
mum sum which it would afford them
pleasure to receive from the holders Of
federal Offices. The circular which we
published two weeks ago has been re-
vised and improved ON, so that better
financial results are expected to be de-
rived from its circulation. We have in
our possession now circular emanating
from the headquarters of the Republican
Congressional Committee, addressed to a
federal official in this section of the State,
which is the same as the circular hereto
fore published, with the exception of the
first clause, which, in the new circular,
reads as follows.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May q, 1873.
SIR: This Committee, charged with
laboring for the success of the Republi-
can cause in the, coming campaign for
the election of Members of Congress, call
with confidence upon you, as Republi-
can, for such a contribution in money as
you may feel willing to make, hoping
that it may not be less than S12., The
Committee deem it proper, in thus ap-
pealing to Republicans generally, to in.
form those who happen to be in federal
employ that there will be no objection in
any official quarter to such voluntary
contribution.
Then 1t concludes:
Please make prompt and favorable re-
sponse to this-letter, and remit at once,
by draft or postal money order, to "Sid-
ney F. Austin, Esq, Treasurer. &C., Ger
man.American National Bank, Washing
ton, D. c."
By order of the Committee,
GEO. G. GoRHAM, Secretary.
This circular showss.the determination
of the Republicans to again use the off,
ces of the government to secure aperpet-
.uatioh of their power in the government,
and that they intend to force contribu-
tions in. money for that purpose. Atarst
the request was an indefinite one, left for
each ofice-holder to decide for himself,
and az this does not seem to have panned
ont enough, they have actually made an
assessment which, fall the federal Off
GERS pay at the same rate according to-
their salary, will raise over one and. q
half million dollars. This is the'force
against which ne will have co contend in
the coming campaign, and, should induce
our people to remain solid. We raise no
campaign fund by an assessment of Office
holders, and hence the, Democratic can
didates will go before the country simply
on their merits, and the, canvass will be
conducted on funds voluntarily given by
private citizens, while the Republicans
go into the race relying on the money
Which their officers are willing to pay for
their places. It is an indirect method of
political bribery, and the people oughtto
retire the men who practice it from power
in our government.
