A couple of pious frauds named Cowley
have recently been indicted in New York
for cruel and inhuman treatment of chill
dren placed under their care. The evil
dence proved that the institution known as

Cowley was as hypocritical, brutal, and
avaricious as was that saintly(D pedagogue
"Squeers" who presided over the Hall, and
whose system of tuition is described by
Dickens as an alternate beating and starv-
ing" The Cowleys, male and female are a
couple who under the guise of extreme
piety, starved, beat, maimcd and abused
the unfortunates placed under their charge,
in most inhuman manner, and it is to be
hoped that they will be so severely punish
ed, that it will strike terror into the souls,

existence is curse to humanity, religion
and civilization.

The Republican Platform.
General Nc Mahon Tells a New
York Herald Reporter His Opfn.
tons-A Scathing Crtticism. -

A New York Herald reporter having
called on General Mcmahon, asked his
views of the Republican platform. The
General said he had not yet read it,
but would send for it and give the in
terviewer his opinion. He then pro-
ceeded very truthfully as follows:
For the last ten or fifteen years I
have not been able to read Republi-
can platform, State or national, with
any degree of patience. They are all
alike. They generally commence with
the stupendOus falsehOOd that the Re-
publican party suppressed the rebellion
and proceed through indefinite senti-
mental gush and hypocritical can't to
the conclusion that if the people of the
United States should be SO ungrateful
as to turn that party out of the offices
have abused) the Republic is doomed
to immediate collapse
You have guessed it this time. The
Chicago platform does say of the Re-
publican party - 1t suppressed a re-
bellion which had armed nearly q mil
lion to subvert the national authority.
1t reconstructed the Union of the
States with freedom instead of slavery
as its corner stone,T" &c. -
"Now," said General McMahon,
" the claim that the Republican party
restored the Union is an insult to the
people of the United States, who did
that work irrespective of party. Any
decent American would have been
of his country If, in 1861,
when the flag was fired on at Sumpter;
there had been division upon party
lines. You and / know there was no
such division, but that the people rose
up simultaneously as such-as u sOver-
eign people in defense of the Union.
The armies that thrOnged to the field
to support the national cause were
composed of a large majority of DEM
Ocrats. L do not mean by this to say
that the Republican party of that time
was any less patriotic than the Demo-
cratic party l merely wish to convey
the idea that the cause of the Union
was the cause of the people, and as
the Democrats We're in majority in
the loyal States and had been for years
and composed, moreover, a large pre-
of the fighting force of the
country, they naturally contributed

THE Republican papers assert that
Garfield promptly covered back his
share of the back pay salary grab into
the Treasury, but the fact is that he
waited for six weeks after the bill had
passed Congress and he never even
dreamed ofreturning the plunder until
nearly a month after the Warren in
dignation meeting had logged his
sensibiIities in a peculiar manner, Civ
ing him to. understand that it would
be unhealthy for him to hold on to his

curious omission in this Republican

as wicked and unpatriotic, but there is
not here word against the bribery of
congressman by corporations and con
tractors. Yet the Republican press
was vehement on this latter subject

what q rant Thinks of Hancock.
The Washington Post of the lIth
inst. contains letter from special
correspondent al WyandOt, Kansas,
giving very significant interview
with General Grant, from which we
extract the following: ~ q a9+r
Upon being questioned as TO the
prospects of the ensning canvass, he
rather evadcd any direct expression
of opinion at first; but when allusiOn
was made to the military record of
General Hancock all the latent cnthu-
siasm OF his nature seemed to be
aroused, and he freely remarked thar,
IA his opinion, no better or safer man
could be elected to- the Chief Magis-
tracy. He eulogiZed the merits Of
General Hancock as q corps coIfRhan-
der very highly, and said he was a
man who never faltered in the per-
formaGce of duty, and seldom. if ey
er, made bIunder. The EX President
evidently looked upon it as something
OF compliment to himself that
soidier Of such high rank should have
been selected at Cincinnati, apparently
feeling that the preferences of the
people are rather for a man who com
bines the qualities of q statesman and
a soldier both, tnan-for a mere politi-
clan. lie was particularly outspOken
in expressing his adnlirafion for Han
cocks record as commander Of the
Fifth Military District, and more than
half admitted that his own admins
frations would bave been a greater
success had he been able to concen-
trate his Cabinet on a similar policy
toward the South in the earlier days
OF reconstruction. AS il was, he sub
seQuently demonstrated the sound
ness, wisdom and practicability of the
policy, when, following as it were IN
Hancock's footsteps, he took the respob
sibility in his own hands, and made |
permanent peace among the warning |
sections of Arkansas. - fsa ag-
9" 1t cannot be denied the General
added, with significant puff of his |
cigar, "that the ID mocracy have at |
last come to their senses, and well |
improved their opportunity. 1t is |
is the first time, in fact, since circum-
stances led me out of the party that |
IL has made nomination for which |
there was such a show of success
aud this time shouldn't wonder if |
they bad hit the right nail square on
tue head. And, on the whole, as be- |
tween ourselves and horseback,
can't say that Fm scrry for it,"
The General bad nothing to saw,
however, in deprecirtion of Mr.. Gar
field, further than to remark that he

Judge ThOman being introd4ced ad-
dressed the Convention as follows;si
Accept my sincere acknowledgment,
gentlemen of the, com mittee, for hav-
ing asked me to temporarily preside
over the deliberations of this conven-
ton, and you, my fellow citizens, for
your hearty endorsement Of their ac-
ton. GentlemenaOf of the convention,
this assembly means: two things !;
first, the ratification of the action
Of the national convention of June
22nd; and second, the successful in
auguration of the cam paign in Ohio.
As to the first, little need be said. The
national Democracy has been brought
from dark ness into light. The star of
victory is engraven upon ita banner
aud with Winfield Scott Hancock as
the staud8rd-bearer it will be safely
placed where by the expressed will of
a large majority of the people it right
fully belonged four years ago. But it
was stayed, not by the hand of right
and Justice, but by the combined
strength of theft, fraud and perjury.
An opportunity Is given the people to
repldiate one of the leaders of that
great crime by which the elective fran
chise was debauGhed and degraded;
and that is in the overwhelming de-
feat of James A. Garfield, and they
will do it. But you ask what other
reasons are there why the national
Democracy should be successful.
answer: First, it's the party of the
people its power is with the masses
it is a party of to-day, as well as to-
morrow and forever. Second, 1t be-
ieves the civil superior to the military
power the free ballot no troops, mar
shals, supervisors or appointees by the
federal government to surround the
ballot box and manipulate the election
in favor of Republican ascendency
Third, it is opposed to the immigra-
ton of Chinese whereby the rights of |
labor are impaired, Believing and af- |
firming it to be the duty OF this gov
to protect the labor of the !
lahOrer. Another reason, it il the |
father of this government, has guarded |
its interests, protected the rights OF its
citizens f0r seventy Years and after the
4th day of next March, When the trust
is again cOnfided to it, it will be kent
ga government of tile people, by the
people and for the peOple." My Sec
Dnd proposition was that this assembly
means the successful Inauguration of
the campaign for Ohio. And 1 say
successful because ! have too much
