dress especially which attracts great deal
Of attention from the fair sex and over

very fair estimate of the price at which
the dress is held, but this does not appear
to have been true Of two young ladies who
recently paused before the show case con-
taining the costume, and speculated re-
garding its cost. Their ideas on the sub
ject were decidedly primitive, for while one
guessed that the costume was worth $500,
the other secuted the idea that such large
sum would be necessary for it's purchase !;

the price was $4,000 francs, or $4,000 in

INDIANAPoLIs, May 1S.-The Cen
vention reassembled at $3.50 this morning,
and the following platform WINS adopted:


The Independent party was called in
to existence by the necessities OF the peo-
pie whose industries are prostrated, and
whose labors is deprived of its past re
ward, and by ruinous policy which the
Republican and Democratic parties re-
fuse to change, and in view of the failure
of these parties to furnish relief to the
depressed Industries of the country,
thereby Disappointing the just hopes and
expectations of a suffering people. We
declare our principles and invite all in.
dependent and patriotic men to join our
ranks in this movement for financial re-
form and industrial emancipation.


|. We demand the immediate
and unconditional repeal of the
specie resumption act OF January
l4th, 1875 and the rescue of our home
industry from the ruin and disaster re-
sulting from its enforcement and we
call upon all patriotic men to organize
in every congressional district of the
country with view of clecting represen-
tatives to Congress who will carry out
the wishes of the people in this regard
and stop the present suicidal and des-
tructive policy of contraction.


9, We believe that Upited States
note that is made directly by the govern
ment and convertible on demaud into
United States obligations, bear
ing a rate of interest
not exceeding one cent day
on each one hundred dollars and
.exchangeable for United States notes
at par, Will afford the best circulating
medium ever devised. Such United
States notes should be full legal tenoer
for all purposes except for the payment
of such obligations as are by the existing
CONTRACTS expressly made payable IN coin,
and we hold that it is the duty of the
government to provide such circulation
and restore 1t to the nation to whom it
belongs. .aE,.


8. 1t is the paramount duty of the gov.
ernment in all its legislation to keep in
view the full development of sll legiti-
mate business, agricultural, mining, ma
chincry, manufacturing and commercial.


4. We must earnestly protest against
any further issue OF gold bonds for sale
in foreign markets, by which we would
be made, for long period, hewers of
wood and drawers of water to foreigers;
especially MS the American people would
gladly and promptly take at par all
the bonds the government may
need to sell, provided they
are made payable at the option OF the
holder, and bearing interest at the rate
OF 8 IS per cent per annum, or even u
lower rate.


5. We further protest against the sale
of Government bonds Tor the purpose of
purchasing silver, to be used AS sub
stitute for our more convenient and less
luc,uating fractional currency, which,
although well calculated to enrich the
owners of silver mines, yet in ITS opera
tlons it will still further oppress with
taxation an already overburdened people.


A subsequent resolution against rail
road subsidies was also adopted.


The nominations on the fifth ballot
were: Peter Cooper, of New York, for
President, aid Newton Booth, OF Califor-

It is related of Judge Fancy, that once while he was District Judge, a young lawyer thought to strengthen his case by swearing to A complaint, one of the princi- pal counts in which involved an intricate point of law. The Judge on hearing the complaint and verification read, arose from his seat on the bench, lowing to the young practitioner and thanked him for having settled point of law, by swearing to it, about which he and all the courts had been in serious doubt for the past twenty-five years.

 Judge French seems to have been placed under similar obligations to Mir. Toole who swears that one of the things which he knows to be true in the complaint and pe- tition for restraining order against the Secretary, is, that Sec. of the Census Act Is wholly imperative and void Had Judge French had drop of the milk of human kindness in his bosom he would certainly have recognized and acknowledged so inn portant a service to the profession.

We have not yet learned how it happens

 that the Pima Census is so largely out of

 proportion to her taxable property, as con-

 pared with the number they are willing to accord to Yavapai. No complaint has yet been made, we believe, of excessive assess ment in this County, and yet there must be something wrong with the figures or else the enumeration of the people as reported by the Marshal is not far out of the way. If this be not so, and we have only between three and four thousandas Mir. Toole swears, then the eOOs people in Pima must be pow erty-stricken indeed, or their Assessor has neglected to take an account of their taxable property as he should have done, and We are paying double what we ought to 10 the Territorial Fund. We suspected when the cry of fraud was raised that somebody was about to be swindled, and as We feared, it is likely to turn out, on investigation, that the accusers are the very fellows that are doing the swindling, and take this method of diverting attention from their nefarious schemes.
