In a lite issue of your newspaper you

to tbe Sationtl Democrat, of Peoria:
Johu n. Oberly la just now sweet on
Cullom. John II. Oberly la a recipient
of Cullom'a favor. John U. Obei ly used
to be a Democrat, aud claims to be one

one Democrat ought to be placed, both

around Mr. Cullom and tbe Hayes crowd

because he was a Democrat, but because
he ate dirt. iSo whatever Oberly may say
about appointments to the various State

witb the Iemocrats. iie may table to
get more by "sott-soaping" Cullom, but

anything at all on these Boards, to get it
as a right or at least ireeiy ana volunta
rily a a courtesy, and not bv any dirt-

every Board in the State CanaL, Kail-
road, t'enltenuary ana an tne cnarra&ie
and educational boards and if we can't
hare it as a right, we ought not accept
anyat all. In the old time, when the
Oemocrau managed ike Mate, ana ntx-e
until the era of Grant, it was so, and the
people will have it so again. But let
Oberly keep his mouth shut, and enjoy
tbe ofiice be crawled on bis belly to get.
without undertaking to ii ip a slr
Oracle to bis lellow lcmocra!.
To this paragraph I wish to rply
through your columns. Before doing
so, permit me to Introduce te yeur read
ers, ao that they may have a proper ap
preciation ol bim, the gentleman who is
its author.
In lCi the national Democratic con
vention tor the nomination of candidates
for the presidency and 'vice-presidency
convened In Tammany Hall, at New
York city. Its seasons were held in the
presence ot an immeuse coucoureoiciti
zen. The great hall was filled toiU utmost
capacity, and by the large urns of hu
inanity there assembled individuality
was absorbed. Only a f-w men, con
spicuous by reason ot unu.ual abilities,
were singled out by the general eye ; but
there was one exception to this rule,
an exception which made a man unus
ually inconspicuous, the observed of all
observers.
A fter the Convention was organized,
aud business had been commenced in the
comparative stillness that succeeded the
nouiuess of tue income ot tlio delegates
and people, an incident occurred that
attracted uuirmal attention. A sound of
unusual character was beard at one of
the doors opeuing to tho floor on which
the delegates sat, aud immediately there
alter a mau, peculiar in bearing and cos
tume, appeared in the main able, and
proceeded with loud steps aud much
tussiuess toward the platform, after
reaching which be returned to the mid
uie oi tue v onvenuon, and with pomp
and ceremony took a seat n itli the I Hi
uoU dclcgutiou.
The purpose ol this person in thus
bursting upon the Convention was
once apparent. Believing him'tlt to be
the glass ot fashion and the mold
form," he evidently wished
attract the attention - of
both the Convention and " the
audience, lublui this amuluou was
worthy one, aiace no person could look
at his (ace and not Immediately conclude
that, if to his body and Ibis costume ke
could not attract attention, ha would be
compelled to live continually in the ob
scurity to which fate usually couaiitus
mea of w brains and very stupid
minds. And his person and costume
were entitled to observation. His hair
was as long as Absalom's, and as oil? as
tbe beard ot Aaron. U Is raiment was a
black dress coat of peifcgt fit; pantaleoua
ol flouy rare nuess, closely encasing bla
wcll-shatwrt Ices: booti of excellent
workman-ship polished to the most per
fect nicety of the boot-black's art; a
white naiscoat over a shirt of immacu
late whiteum, as while as his neck cra
vat, which was of a pattern that would
have driven B?au Bruuiuiel mad with
jealousy, and in tlie presence of which
the fop described by Hotspur would have
died ol envy; lavender colored kid gloves
were oil his hand, one of which held
a silk hat ol latest taction, and In the
other a caue with a large gold heiid us
brainy its owner's. He was a wonder.
If not a tuystcry; and take him for all In
all we ne'er shall sec his like again.
During every session ot the Conven
tion this person entered it In tho same
manuer with all the llirt and flutter ot
bU first appearance and took a seat,
pompously and ceremoniously, with the
Illinois delegation.
Who," asked an lllinoUau seated be
side me, addressing a companion, ''who
Is the man that always comes In late,
walks down to tbe platform, aud then
walks back, with his cl'itlie and curls
and caue, to cur delegation?"
"Why," answered tlie other In aboli
shment, "don't you know bim? That's
Dowdall. of Peoria. He edits a Demo
cratic paper there. He's the damnedest
fool lu Illinois 1"
The replv seemed to be satisfactory.
for the first speaker said In response: " I j
believe you." j
Last year, duriug the deliberations ot
the Cist Democratic state convention,
held in this city, considerable attention
was attracted to a man who seemed to be
laboring to make himself conspicuous.
On a partially bald head, the hair ot
which was cropped short, he wore an old
felt hat ; his shirt was unclean, and his
coat, waistcoat and pantaloons wire
threadbare and dirty ; Ids boots were ot
cowhide, and their legs, outside his pant
aloons, readied to his knees. At lirst
sight, he bad .the air of.n discouraged
ox-cart driver ; but, on closer view, you
were impressed with the fact that he be
ieved him.self to be a personage, ol no
little importance.
Who," afked a ier.oii stand.ng near
me, adtlresiu? a companion, - who i
that secdv-looking fellow there making
hiraelf so conspicuous '."
Why," answered theoVlitt in a?toii-
Ishment, "don t you know;iumT in at s
Dowdall, ot Peoria. Hi edits a Deiuo
cratic naner there. He's the damnedest
fool in Illinois!'1
Aud this teas Dowdall. His Ab?alom
like locks had disappeared; the clothes
aud airs of the dandy had been laid aide
and tbe clothes and airs ot a seedy duller
donned. He was changed In every res
spect, save one. The not striking
characteristic of the man remained. He
was in 1S70, as he was in IsoS and is
now, the damnedest fool in Illinois.
Having thus, with ory ha-ty pencil,
sketched the author f the paragraph,
let me bow show bow inexcusable and
mean is the attack male by him in it ut
on the writer of this communication.
Some time ago the StaU R:gUr, giv
ing advice to the major. ty of the senate,
insisted that Gov. Cullom should be
tomytlUd to put Democrats upjn every
commission an l eluca'ional and charita
ble board ot tue state. As a proceeding
to this end. I understood the Biyititr to
insistttiit tin-fna'e ouht to promptly
refuse to confirm .the nomination of the
wo JonetM t:,d tli solitary Delaney as

this would be ULwi . In such acoit
fiict the governor would Lavr tLe ad

eatiitaction; and ad ieJ, usiiig a humor
ous form of expression iu doing so, that
tbe policy the sen s'.e should pursue in
this saner was the policy ot friendebip
witb tbe chief executive tLat it would
be wiser, under the cirtutnitanc. to be
at p-aoe than at w ar with Gov. Cullom.
The very heal and front ot my offend-
rig bath this ext?nt and no more.
That this i a sensible poitiou. I still
maintain and can prove.
lu the recss between the Twenty.
ninth and the present general assemblies.
Governor lieveridg- made temporary tp-
pointuients ot a large number of the
trustees ot the charitable iriktltutioi.i ot
the State. As require 1 by the Conk'.itu-
tiou, be nominated the; appoint- to
the senate mow in teseiou. 1 he nomlia
tion were rejected by the Damocratic
majority of that body. la juttiti ration
ot tatis action two anertien were ma le:
One was that Governor Cullom ought to
have an opportunity to say who should
manage the inttituliea under his admin
istration; the other wa that vacancies
ought to be created on these trustee
boards, so that Democrats might be put
on them. Governor Cullom had shown
a disposition to act on this policy, by ap
pointing a Democratic member ot the
railroad and warehouse commission,
aim a Democratic member of the state
board ot education, and by making
known Ids intention to put other Demo
crats on other communions and boards
when vacancies should occur. The ma
jority ot the seuate had, it will he eeii
from this, good grounds for believing
that the rejection of Governor Bcvc
ridge's appointee would result iu the ap
pointment of Democrats.
Uere step in the RinUr and ytiunil
D'-mocrat, exclaiming; "But Governor
Cullom ba not nominated a Democrat
for penitentiary couiailiouer, and he
must be compelled to do ao." On this
proposition I take Usue with Mr. Mer
lin and ''the damnedest tool In lllinoU."
Tbe majority of the senate cannot com
pel Governor Callow to make such a
nomination, and to attempt to do so
would be uuwite. That Gov. Cul'oui
hould have nominated a Democrat, I
believe ; but he did not. He nominated
three Bepublicans. and the only
juestlon now to be considered
U: "Should tbe aanate reject or
confirm them?" Why reject them?

Would the Democrats obtain a member
ot the commission by such nction? Nt
one believes they would, not even "the
damnedest fool In Illinois." The prob
able result ol rejection would be the
appointment ot no commissioner or
truitets before the adjournment of the
legislature Theu the covcrnor would
appoint without the consent ot tlie sen
ate, and he miffht not appoint any Dem
crats. llciuilit loret to remember
that any person believed that any Dem
ocrat ought to be appointed to any
place in his gilt, if, on the other hand,
Ilia two .loiir?es mid liclancv should be
confirmed, what then? Probably contin
ued ticace between Gov. C ullom aud the
i
majority of tbe senate, and the appoint-
input ol Democrats to rlaccs on the
several educational aud charitable boards
This at K-at U true, that by confirma
tion nothing can be lost to the Democrat
ic nartr or the state, and by rocction
nothing cau be gained for citlar.
I have, it will be observed, carefully
nr-iMected to iustily Gov. Cullom in
refusing to put a Democrat ou the peni-
tentlarv commission. Why he did not
nominate a Democrat, I do not know
aud why lie did not, as he might have
done, appoint comin'saion :rs without
asking the consent of the senate, is some
what ot a mystery to me. Under the
law, the constitutionality ot hich very
many able lawyers assort, and In accord
ance witb precedents established by
Govs. Talmtr and Beveridge, be mlgLt
bave appointed commissioners without
saving to the senate. '13y your tcnnis-
sion.' But he did not do so, and has
a'kfd permission to appoint three reputa
ble gentlemen. In my opinion he
ought to be permitted to do eo. I have
no doub'. that the majority ot the senate
should, without v'rlfiy, allow the two
ILvlic&i Johj?s and the one Radical
Delane y to take charge of the rerutation
crusl.iug penitentiiry ek-phant at Jol-i-t.
To iioli this pOfilion &ud to thus
argue, may be, lu the opiaion of "tbe

from his stupid judment to the better

would probably find Iittlo dilfliMilty in
coming to a conclusion ou tlie third part
as to whether or not there exist such do

The honorable secretary ol state, dif
fering from Chief Ju.-tlcc Taney and the
U nitcd states supremo court iu the well
known ca?e of Luther vs. Dordeti, holds,
it I correctly uuderstand his latter of in
structions, that neitlier the constitu
tional provision nor the acts of congress
were framed with a design of giving the
president
i lit rowi.n to LLcibi;
between tbe contesting claimants to a
state torernmeut. In the cae referred
to, Chiet Justice Taney as an organ ot
the court said, "lty this act the power
ot deciding whether tho exigency had
arisen upon whlcH the government of
the United Statu is bound to interfere,
is given to the president, he to act upon
the application of the lvgialature or of
the executive, and consequently he must
determine what bedy of men constitute
the legislature and who is the governor
before be cau act. The fact that both
parlies claim the right to the govern
ment cannot alter the ease, tor both can
not be entitled to it. There is an armed
conflict liKe the one ot which we are
speaking: it is a cAe of domestic vio
lence, aud one of the parties mint le In
insurrection agiint tbe lawful govern
ment, and the president must of neces
sity decide which is tlie government,
aud which party Is unlawfully arrayed
against it, before he can perform "the
duty imposed upon him by tbs act ot
cor.jress."
May I not expect that this decision, rich
witu precedents irorn your predecessors,
will be taken as a sale guide tor your ac
tion? The distinguished gentleman by
whom the iuatruuiiuiis ot the commission
were prepared U understood to lavor a
line ol policy towards this state which bas
beeu foreshadowed by Hon. Stanley
ilatthews. 'The nature ot that policy is
disclosed In a statement of lion. John .

then told Mr. Matthews that his views
and those attributed to Gov. Hayes were
moat gratifying to us, but there ap
peared to me a good deal of practical
difficulty in carrying out these views. I
told him, tor instance, with regard to
Ixiuisiana, that the tcople who had voted
for Hayes bad voted tor Packard ; the
iuf porters of Tilden were the support
ers ot Nicholls; that the returning board
which had assumed toward the vote of
Louisiana to Hayes had awarded also a
majority to i'ackard anl that 1
did nut nee how Mr. Hayes
could consistently sustain Nicholls
under the circumstance. He re
plied very quickly. I can ee very easily
bow Nicholis can bo sustained. 1 do not
assume to speak absolutely for Governor
Hayes, but ouy policy would be to obtain
from Mcholls assurances that the peuce
would be maintaincu; no one here perse
cuted on account of political oflcnsef,llfe,

then withdraw the troops. Your pecp'e
would then pay taxes only to Mcholls
