he managing editor Of that vigorous
Democratic sheet, the Baltimore G0=.ue, is
an Ohio man, and understands all about
the true inwardness" OF the late Columbus
convention. From the following extract
from the Go-e'tt's "lesder" on the conven-
ton and lis candidates, it will be seen that
there is at least one intelligent Democrat in
the East, who does not feel particularly
hopeful over the situation in Ohio:
General Ewing's war record is naturally
associated with the scourging Of four
counties in Missouri near the close OF the
war. In 1874 he met with the Liberal
party in ONO, and pronounced a funeral
Grafton over the Democratic party. These
things will doubtless be remembered
against him. The platform adopted yes
I.rdsy contains few new and good points,
but the re-adoptiOn Of the financial planks
upon which the party has stood tor the
past ten years, together with the nomina-
lion OF Ewing, places the Democratic or
ganiz Ition In such a position that II can
scarcely hope TO escape defeat. The issues
upon which the psrty enters the canvass
are those in the main which have been
voted down emphaticslly at least half
dozen times. The old battle, in which
William Allen went down, in 1875, is to be
fought over sgain. The ultra infationists
in the Democratic camp will vote the tick
ct set up yesterday by the Nationals; the
hard money men will vote Tor Foster, or
will stay awsy from the polls, and Ohio
will sgain be lost, We fear, through the
folly ard shDrt-siehtedDess Of the reckless
and incapable leaders who seem to flourish
in that State with vigor out Of all rea-

NOT ALL LOVELY.

The New York TriJuHtS Washington
correspondent says the Democrats OF the
House are in am thing except happy
frame Of mind. They try hard TO present
united, harmonious front to the world, but
are in NONE ntary terror lest something Will
happen to expose the hollowness OF the
truce which was patched up In the last
caucus. Ii has leaked cut that the pro
grsmme decided on in the Joint caucus
received the approval OF only two or three
more than half Cf the members OF the House
present; and it is quite evident from the
talk of members who made up the strong
minority on that occasion that it will be
very difficult, if not impossible, to keep
them in the party traces.
Speaker Randall is Understood TO have
supported the Blackburn programme IN the
caucus; and lesding Democrats openly
charge that for some reason he is anxious
to have the session Of Con, Tess prolonged.
Some Of them also assert that he was privy
to the motion offered by General Hawley
a few days since in regard to the appropri-
auon bill, and was thereby guilty OF treason
to his party. They say, too, that he appoint
ed "Old Wood" Chairman OF the Committee
on Ways and Means sgainst the wish and
protest Of niDe-tenths Of the Democratic
party, and after repeatedly giving an i'm
Piled promise not II appoint him. They
declare in bitter. terms that Mr.. Wood
shall be dePosed from the ChsirmanshiP Of
that Committee before the end Of the pres
ent Congress.

GENERAL ETTLEH - LES.iL TES-
DER CASE

The legal tender test case, which ia pros
ecuted by Mr. S Il. Chitier den on the one
side and General Il. F. Fuller on the other,
is now before Judge Blaichford, in New
York, who proposes 10 render a Iro forms
decision in favor of the validity Of the law.
This proposition was submitted by Mr.. Wm.
Allen, counsel for Mr. Chittenden, TO Sena-
tor Edmunds, who is associate counsel in
the case, who replied advising it, accept
ance, as it will place the cs=e better on the
calendar of the Supreme Court, ard make
ii easier to have it so advanced as TO be
heard at the October term. IL is under
stood Judge Blatchford desired to render
pro forma decision in favor Of the validity of
the law, out Of desire not to contravene or
seem to upset the decision of the Supreme
Court heretofore made on this question
but TO send it directly and without
any interference of his 10 the Supreme
Court for its adjudication. General Fut-
ler, also, is understood to favor this dispo-
eition, as be desires to have the question
decided BY the Supreme Court as soon as
possible. Everything is in trim, therefore.
to have the cas4 brought before the O.tober
term of the Court, and the decision, which,
Whatever wsy it may turn, will be Of very
great importance, may be announced by
auuary or February next.

. No one WILL EE PUNISHED
FOR 1T

Another shooting and probably murder
was committed Saturday night, and a cow
ardly, drunken, brutal assault wss made on
an officer keeping the peace at the Picnic
Sunday, which was entirely uujIsiifiable,
and yet we venture the prediction that No
one will be punished for their participation
in the crimes. Men who have formed and
expressed an opinion cannot sit as jurors,
hence men who are friends Of the accused
can commit rerjuries, become Jurors and
acquit the criminal. Only six or seven
murders in Leavenworth the past year,
and no one con victed. The poor
devil who steals a chicken goes up, but
killing seems to be no crime in this
community. The police authorities allow
we'll known assassins 10 daily walk the
streets armed TO the teeth, ard the result is
shooting, killing and brutal knock downs.
which go UNPUBLISHED, 10 the disgrace and
dishonor Of our city. Better suppress this
violence and disorder or else throw ~ the
city government and try lhat surer and
sometimes better law. Perhaps if this in
discriminate brutality c5ulirucs long
enough the public conscience may become
awakened, ard some law may be formed to
punish the viola;or.

PIasue-Stricken Russia

u IA -hdI4 'iZ=A1c.l
ID spite the strenuous efforts of the su.
thorities to keep the RI al state of affairs Sc
cret, reports Are again beginning to get
abroai Of the fearful amount of sickness
now existing 10 Russia. A correspondent
of the Cologne Go=ets, for instance, writes
from It. Petersburg that, although the
Governor Of Astrachan reported on the 90 n
Of April last that the general state Of
health Of the people in that Prov
ince was Satisfactory. Trustworthy in
formstiOn hss nevertheless been re-
ceiyed in the kUssisn capital that
an epidemic il raging in several villages
in the Gori district, and is committing
great rsvages among the inhabitants.
According, again, 20 letter lately publish
ed in TItlis paper, the mortality prevail
ing at the present moment in the village tf
Metechi is simply terrible Every day a
number OF ,ersons are buried who have
died Of a disease the true character of
which hss not yet been recognized, or, at
all events, has not yet been made known,
but which frequently carries off its victims
in twenty-four hours ;.f,er it first siezes
upon them. IN the village of Dirby, which
contains only $50 inhabitants, seventy per-
sons have already died; in Msdjorijeni,
where there are 200 houses, 200 Inhabitants
are dead; and IN other villages the mortali-
" is proportionstely a. gr at. Some Of the
measures taken to conceal the existence of
this epidemic are curious. For instance,
short time ago previously healthy young
man died suddenly, but the priest, it is sta
ted, refused to bury his corpse until his rel
atives produced certificate setting forth
that the dec. ased had been ill for month"
