THE Cincinnati Enquirer of yester-
day says; Hon. Charles Foster, the
Republican candidate for governor of
Ohio, is about forty FIVE years of age,
and looks like he has been we'll fed all
his life. He is sinewy and strong, is
about the medium hight, has dark
hair, pleasant light eyes, and his
whiskers, which are worn almost full,
are plentifully sprinkled with gray.
There is nothing of the dandy about
his attire, and his whole makeup
would impress the beholder that he
was a prosperous merchant, or per-
haps an attorney with comfortable
practice. He wears full head Of
hair, and it is evident that he does not
belong to the bald fraternity. His
smile yesterday, when going forward
to meet the plaudits of an admirine
constituency, was more elaborate than
usual, but he always tries to look
pleasant and comfortable. Taken all
around, Charley is good to look upon
not decidedly handsome, but fair
to middlin'."

Grants Progress.

Cincinnati Gazette.
A number Of Grants near friends 10
New York, who are in constant CORE
spondence with his party, are exerting
themselves to delay his return. They
had been hoping that he would not
arrive at San Francisco until late in
the autumn or early in the winter,
when it would be possible, as they
thought, to occupy him on the Pacific
coast till toward spring. The inten-
tion then was to have triumphal
tour eastward that should increase in
force and influence until the conven
tion. They have now heard that the
general expects to land in San Fran,
cisco certainly by September, and
possibly before. This is disconcerting
all the plans, and an effort is to be
made to either delay the party in
Japan or send it to the Sandwich Is
lands, and then, after a tour 10 Oregon
aud southern California, to take q
jaunt Of considerable length in Mex
leo. Urgent letters in favor Of late
arrival in the central portion Of the
United States have gone forward, botl
fron New York and Philadelphia.

THERE is literally nothing to say
against renominating the Democratic
Governor of Ohio. The people regard it
as an outrage not to do so. He "busted
up" with two Offices and a grocery last
year, and has otherwise been unfortu-
nate. How could the poor man live
with only single office? Then there
are lots of people who will vote for him
on the principle of the fellow at Platte
River, who ran along the bank yelling
to the rescuers of two drowning men
"Save the fellow with the red shirti save
the fellow with the red shirtw When
told that the red-shirted individual was
safe, the man drew a long breath and
said, Thank the Lord; he owed me ten
dollars" s."-Inter-Ocean.

The House was in session but a few
minutes, and failed to transact any bu-
siness of interest.
In the Senate, Thursday, Mr.. Groome
introduced a bill TO aid in the construe-
ton of the Maryland & Delaware ship
canal. Mr. Hoar'S resolution denOun-
cling as revolutionary the proposition of
the Democrats to engraft political legis-
lation on appropriation bills was taken
up, and an hours debate ensued, in
which Messrs. Bayard, Blaine, Beck,
VOORHEES, and others participated, after
which the Senate adjourned until Mon
day.
In the House the army appropriation
bill, with the amendment prohibiting
the use of troops at the polls, was intro
duced, and most of the ordinary prOvi-
sions of the bill were disposed of.
The House, on Friday, continued the
consideration of the army appropriation
bill, but without anything of Importance
being done.
The House, on Saturday, took up the
Army Appropriation bill, and Messrs
stephens and Garfield made exhaustive
speeches, and various other members al
so spoke, but no final action was reached
In the Senate, on Monday, the follow
ing bills were introduced: Extending
the time for the construction of the
Northern Pacific railroad; authorizing
the National Board of Health to investi-
gate infectious diseases of cattle.

Giving Battle.

The Democratic party has delivered
its threatened attack upon the ballot-box
and the Constitution. The bitterest ad-
versary of that dangerous faction could
not wish to see it in worse position
than it occupies to-day. Every step of
its progress since it came into power has
been marked by blunder; but it has
committed no blunder more enormous or
more criminal than the act of headlong
violence for which it forced this extra
session. 1t has now declared, in the face
of the Whole Nation, that there shall be
free fraud at the polls, or else the Gov
ernment shall stop. Even the weak
pretence that the Federal laws must be
repealed out of respect to the rights of
the States" has been contemptuously
abandoned in the very act of moving the
repeal. For the Democratic caucus has
resolved to leave enough of the laws to
recognize the principle upon which they
are based, but to sweep away all the pro-
flSlOilo S1NS bhCll pAttSblSol OIOSl
in the prevention of fraud and violence.
Here is a plain declaration that the
Democratic members do not care fig
for the rights of the States, but they
mean to carry the next election by the
old agencies which we know so well in
New York
They will discover that the Republican
party of the North means to have fair
vote They will discover that the meth
ods by which Tweed stole the State of
New York away from President Grant,
in 1868, cannot be repeated with impuni-
ty. They will be reminded of the courte-
Gus but scathing letter in which Horace
Greeley pointed out to Samuel j. Tilden
how he was covering enormous frauds
with the mantle of his responsibility, and
they will learn that under no circum-
stances will honest men suffer thieves
and swindlers to ride over them again as
they did in those disgraceful days. The
old style of Democratic voting isa thing
of the past There is not a big enough
majority in Congress to restore it. We
think there never will be.
Our Democratic friends will discover,
too, that they have not big enoughma-
jority to set aside the Constitution. That

THE EXTRA SESSION:

In the Senate, Tuesday, number OF
bills were introduced and referred. A
joint resolution was introduced prOvi-
ding for special committee to consider
the best means of promoting agriculture.
Mr.. Hoar spoke in favor of his resolu-
tion declaring the Democratic pro-
gramme in regard to the appropriation
bills unconstitutional and revolutiona-
ry. At the conslusion of Mr.. Hoar's
speech motion from the Democratic
side to adjourn, because of the absence
of Senator Thurman, who has this mat
ter in charge, was adopted by strict
party vote-yeas 81, nays 2S.
In the House Mr.. Harris asked leave
to offer resolution directing the COM
mittee on judiciary to inquire into the
facts connected with the action of Alex.
Rives, Judge of the United States Dis
trict Court for the western district of
Virginia, in interfering with the action
of the State courts in accordance with
the laws of Virginia, but no objection
was made from the Republican side, and
Mr.. Conger announced that he would
object to the introduction of anything
unless it had reference to appropriation
bills. The House then adjourned.
In the Senate, Wednesday, Mr.. Pendle-
ton introduced bin allowing cabinet
officers to occupy seats on the floor of
the Senate and House, with privilege of
participating in debate on matters af-
fecting their departments. After a
brief session the Senate adjourned.

The Democratic Programme.

The New York Nation thus closes an
article on the Democratic programme
in regard to party legislation:
ITO repeal the Federal election law is
one thing; to disband the courts and the
departments for want of funds is anoth-
er thing. To prohibit the presence of
troops at or near the polls on election
lay we may concede to be aproper thing
to do, although the danger of usurpation
and menace under existing laws Is not
overpoWering. To leave the army with
out pay or ammunition, the Indian from
tier unprotected, would be a crime not
to be forgiven. While hunting an issue
for the next campaign let the party
leaders beware lest they start fiercer
one than they are looking for, If the
President exercises his lawful discretion
to approve or disapprOye every measure
laid before him, as he probably will, and
if in so doing he vetoes an appropriation
bill necessary for carrying on the Gov
ernment, the responsibility for conse-
quences will fall upon those who shall
have exceeded their constitutional
rights and sought to exercise powers
never confded to them. When conflicts
arise between Congress and the Execu-
tive the people are prone to side with
the latter, unless very good reasons can
be shown to the contrary. Even after
the great dispute with Andrew john
son the Republicans came back with a
loss of fifteen seats in the House, which
is more than the Democrats can afford
to lose now Their worst enemy could
not devise more dangerous pitfall than
their own caucus seems to be preparing
for them"

rights, its authority successfully detied
so long rs the education of the people is
