There's many q slip
'rwixt the cup aud the lip.

The simple refusal Of the republicans to
vote foled the democrats and exposed them
TO jeering derision. Their confident at
tempt to drive the resolution through,
under the whip and spur Of the
previous question, laid them fat
upon their backs and made them laugh
ing stock. The simple refusal of the repub-
lican members to vote on the question left
the House without a quorum and forced
poor Mr.. Potter to move an adjourn
ment--a humiliating ending Of days
work which was SO proudly begun. Tho
resolution did not pass, and II is to come
up as unfinished business to-day. If the
democrats can succeed in getting q sufli-
cient number Of their own members in
the House to form quorum they may pass
the resolution, but their egregious blunders
and ridiculous defeat yesterday have
stripped the movement of all pres
tigo. Even il they get quorum
of democratic members the republicans can
filibuster and postpone action and keep
the thing hanging by the & lis until the ex-
pected impression on the public mind is lost.
The democrats made their position ride
ulous by contending that their resolution

Ohio Democratic Convention.
COLUMBUS, o., June 27.

COLUMBUS, w., June II.
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
establishment of silver as money
metal the same as gold; the gradual SUBJ
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.
1t 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 laboring classes out of ,em-
ployment by the financial policy of the
Republican party, and the resolutions
pledge the Democratic party 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
Lhe 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
rnent In the South, so long advocated by
the Democratic party, and which has
brought peace and harmony to that Sec
tion 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 on 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 a Republican Legislature to re.elect
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 a
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.

Death from Hydrophobia.

SpAKrANBURG, S. c., June %, 1876.
Our community was thoroughly excl
ted over the report of a "sure enough"
case of hydrophobia. The unfortunate
victim of this fearful calamity was w.
J. Pool, better known as casa" Pool,
who lived about four miles from town.
E[e was bitten by mad dog some two
months ago, while in his field at work,
and some apprehensions have been felt
ever since as to the probable result, and
which eliminated yesterday in the ter
rible death of the stricken man. On
the day before yesterday DR.. Russell was
called in to see Pool, who began to feel
that something was wrong and whose
symptoms were manifestly those described
ifl the books as hydrophobia. Yesterday
the symptoms were more strongly devel-
oped and nearly all the physicians IN
town went to see Pool as well as good
many citizens. returned last night
thoroughly convinced that the victim
would die in few hours, and we learn
this morning that he died abont 9 o'clock
last night. During his spasm Pool did
not seem to be vicious, but rather fright
ened and solicitous of help from those
around him, and talked rational up to
late in the afternoon. He said he was in
no pain, but when the spasms came on
no seemed to experience smothering
sensation, and he went about the yard
with dipper of water in his hand, and
would say ~ want this water, but / can't
drink it.n Late in the afternoon he
seemed to grow much worse and: went
wild, and ran as fast as he could for
about q hundred yards, and forcibly
brought back and confined in smoke
house, when be became so furious that
he had to be tied with sheets. He FOAM
ed at the mouth and was raving mad up
to the moment of his death as stated
above. -

L. G. Dennis, of the Florida resurning
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
ingly 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 a card to Secretary Sherman,
which was produced and read rs follows:
",Sscretary Sherman: particularly de.
sire that MI. Dennis shall be appointed
TO some good place, and 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: j.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, April 6.
Dear Sir: I am reliably assured that
L. G.. Dennis, of Florida, would make a
capital special agent of the treasury. I
especially desire that bis name may have
your special attention.
Sincerely, R. B. HAYES.
Hon. John Sherman, Secretary, &C., &c.
Witness was finally appointed to 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 Mr.. 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 "Mexi-
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 10 add that it consisted of but
one member, aud his name is Alexander
II. Stephens.

payers have in many instances bought
up considerable sums of these bills at
from ten 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, and unfair to the people that a
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.
It 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 a 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 djmplete 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
acentury. The bills of the Bank of the
State and the floating indebtedness should
be scaled to fifty 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. :

In a speech before the late Republican
Convention of Ohio, held in the city of
Cincinnati, Hon. B. Eggleston said
"Grant will be nominated in this hall in
1880, and what is more, will be our next
President" This called forth inordinate
applause from the members of the con-
vention, and has been re-echoed over the
whole land. If Grant is to be the Re-
publican nominee for the next presiden-
cy, it gives an additional inducement to
the Democracy of the South to remain
solid to secure his defeat. From Grant
the South has never received anything
like considerate treatment. He has
scourged us with infamous and corrupt
officials. His reelection to the presi-
dency would destroy our government,
and place the heel Of a drunken tyrant
