During the past five years the public have carefully observed the wonderful cures accomplished from tbe nse of VEQKTINK. From Its use many an filleted sufferer baa heen restored to perfect health, after having expended s small fortune in procuring medi cal advice and obtaining poisonous mineral medicines. It Is now Justly remarked by all classes of people that VUGKTINE holda a higher position in tbe esti mation of the public than any other medical com pound, aud it bas won its great reputation and Im mense demand from actual merit. Its medical properties are alterative, tonic, solvent and diuretic 1 here is no disease of the human ayi tem for which the VEQKTINK cannot be used with perfect safety, aa It does not contain any metallic or poisonous compound. It Is composed exclusively of barks, roots and herbs; it Is very pleasant to take; every child likes it. It ts cafe and reliable, aa tbe fol lowing evidence will show: Valuable Evidence. The following unsolicited testimonial from Rev. O. T. Walker, D. 1., formerly pastor of Bowdoln Square Church, Boston, and at prcsmt settled In Providence, It. I., must be deemed aa rellablo evidence. No one should fall to observe tbst this testimonial la the re sult of two years experience with the use of VEOK TINK In the Rev. Mr. Walker's family, who now pro nounces It invaluable; Pbotidehck, It. 1. 104 Transit Street. H. R. STKVENS,sq.: I feel bound to express with my signature tbe high value I place upon your Vegetine. Myfamlly have used it for the last two years. In nervous debility It Is invaluable, and I recommend it to all who may need an Invigorating, renovating tonic. O. T. WALK Kit, Formerly Tastor of Bowdoln Squiro Church, Boston. A Walking Miracle, Mb. II. It. Stxvxms: Dear Sir Though a stranger, I want to Inform )ou what Vegetine has done for me. Last Christmas, Scrofula made Its appearance In my system large running ulcers sppcaring on me, aa follows: One on each of my arms, one on my thigh, which extended to tbe seat, one on my bead, which cat into tbe skull bone, one on my left leg, which be came so Lad that two physicians came to amputate the limb, though upon consultation concluded not to do ao, as my whole body w as so full of Scrofula ; they deemed it advisable to cut tbe sore, which was painful beyond description, and there was a quart of matter run from this one aore. Thephjslcians atl gave me up to die, and said they could do no more for me. Both of my legs were drawn up to my seat, and It waa thought If I did get up again 1 would be a cripple for life. When in this condition I saw Vegetine advertised, and commenced taking it in March, and followed on with it until I had used sixteen bottles, and this morning I am going to plough corn, a welt man. All my townsmen say it is a miracle to see me round walking and working. In conclusion I will add, when I waa enduring such great sufftrlug, from that dreadful disease. Scrofula, 1 prayed to the Lord above to take me out of this world, but as'Vegctlne bas restored to me the bless ings of health, I desire more than ever to live, that I may be of some service to my fellow men, and I know of no bitter way to aid suffering humanity than to Inclose you this statement of my case, with an earnest hope that you will publish it, and It will afford me pleasure to reply to any communication which I may receive therefrom. I am, sir, very respectfully, WILLIAM FAVN. Avery, Berrien Co., Mich., July 10, 1873. Reliable Evidence. Mb. H. R. STEVENS: Bear Sir, I will most cheerfully add my testimony to the great number you have already received in fa vor of your great and good medicine, Vegetine, for I do not think enough can be said in its praise, for I was troubled over 30 years with that dreadful disease, Catarrh, snd bad such bad coughing spells that It would seem as though I could never breathe any more, and Vegetine has cured me; and I do feel to thank God all tbe time that there is so good a medi cine as Yegetine, and I also think it one of the best medicines for coughs and weak, sinking feelings at tbe stomach, and advise everybody to take the Vvge tlne, for I can assure them it Is one of the best med icines that ever wss. MRS. L. GORE, Cor. Magazine and Walnut streets, Cambridge, Mass. Ycgctino is Sold by all Druggists. CATARRH. Bones of the Nose Eaten Out-Memory Gone-Mind Impaired-Cured by Con stitutional Catarrh Remedy. The Constitutional Catabbu Rim id y is tbe first article placed before the public that proposed to cure Catarrh by building up the Conirifuhon. It struck at the root of tbe whole difficulty, and thousands upon thousands of letters have been received by the propri etors, setting forth the marvLloua cures, and, what is remarkable, curing not only the Catarrh, but all other ailments at the same time. This is what it always does. The following statement is only a sample of what we are constantly receiving, from well known people to whom you cau write, and not to bogus ones. Catarrh and its attendant evils, cold In head, backing cough, Incipient consumption, headache, pains In back aud loins, dirtiness, languidneas, loss of appetite and general weakness, all leave together when tbe Constitutional Catarrh Remedy is taken aa recom mended. Philadelphia, Fa., May 7, 1874. Mcssna. Ijttlepiklp k Co, : Dear Sim It gives me great pleasure to Inform you that I am able to attend to my business again". Some four months ago I was taken down sick with Catarrh, with which I had been troubled for years In the worst form, and had to leave my work. 1 went to New York to be treated fr it. I employed the best medical skill in that city with little benefit. It was called by them tbe worst form of Catarrh, Ozena. The bones iu my nose were partially eaten away. My sense of smell was gone to such a degreo that on Lne occa sion, whUe at home In New Hampshire, we killed a skunk, and although they said it emelled terribly I could not detect anything. 1 also bad very bad dizzy spells, everythlug seemed to whirl around me and I would have to sit down ten or fifteen minutes before I could walk. I have been laid up sick abed s week at a time; in fact I never expected to get well again, and ray folks lelt alarmed at my situation. It also affected my mental powers to such an extent that It was im possible for me to remember even common occurren ces. While at homo I was Induced to try your Con stitutional Catarrh Remedy, and never while sick waa I so much relieved as while using it, and I began to Improve and have been gaining right along, and now feel as well as ever. I cheerfully give you this testi monial, and if It will be of any benefit to you I shall have no objection to your using my name to help In troduce a medlciue that bas cured mo of a terrible disease.

Aye I tell of modern heroes I Tell, When rebellion's wsr-cry sounded, And Sumter's flsg in glory fell, How to tbe rescue bounded Columbia's loyal eons, to war For freedom and a nation. Nor let a single .ayward star Fall from her constellation 1 Kalute be r, then 1 our ballowd land, lly God's own hand annointed A beacon bright on th' ocean's strand A refuge heaven-appointed Where th' oppressed of earth may freedom find, In peace' and comfort biding, And cords of love a!l.hcarta ahall bind In union undlvidlng.

Kiitcrlng tills strucluro from tbo WcU and looking down Its ainplo nave, your lirst feel lug Is slmplo aniazoincut, your llrst tljemglit Aladln's lamp, tor tbe genu bao certainly been berc. llcfore you strclcbes a changing kaleidoscope a third of a nillo long, inado up of urclic, playing fountains, flnallng flagu, festoons, and tbo cvcr-movlng tbrong or visitors. You gazo a moment In wonder at tbo beautiful im mensity, trying to tako It all In ; then some ono says "Come," and turning to tbo llrst nrcb at tbo left, you enter the gateway of Italic" and begin tbo tour of tbo world. Thrco days (perhaps) arojipent in tills ono building "doing It" as thoroughly ns ono can In Iho time; aud then you go bonio knowing you Imonol seen half lis con tents, with your brain a medley of confu ted Images, and, Ob, to tired, and, to tell tbo truth, so tick ol mosaic, wood carv ing", porcelain and silverware, that you do not caro If you never teeunolher specimen. ltut tbo next morning Ideas clear a Utile, aud out of Iho chaos cmcrgo pleasant vis- Ions of tbe beautiful things which most In terested you. Naturally In Italy wo expect to sco mosaics, and tbo llrst ono that seizes your attention Is Just at Iho cnlrauco u round tablo tbrco feet In diameter, in Iho mlddloof which Is Iho "Itouiultis, Itemus and wolf" group, slzo of a dinner plato, surrounded by a wtcatb of mornlug-glorles several Inches wide, all or far more dell cato workmanship than tbo commonly worn mosaic brooch. Another tablo satno size nearly covcicd with u moonlight view of tbo cathedral of Milan, tbo shadowy por tion painted, Iho moon aud tbo bright lights brought out by an Inlaying of mother of pearl as many-hucd as tbo rainbow. I'rlco f3o0. A carved ebony cabinet with tbl9 samo inlaying ol opalescent pearl is valued at tbo modest sunt of $5500. On tbo'wall you sec a wood carving of a laughing child's bead full size, and so per fect that you seem to sco tbe waving of Iho wind blown hair. Among tbo shell cameos, ono six inches by four represents "Hora- tlus defending tbo bridge;" price, $500. In a largo case tilled will) silver liUgreo is a good sized fruit basket filled with various fruits and flowers, tbo wbolo of Ibis doll- cato material; price, $350. Next comes Norway which surprised lis wllb an even larger display than Italy of silver and gold filagree, beautiful porcelain and solid wood carvipgi. Iu Sweden everybody steps to look at the clay ligutcs, so life-like oven to the oxprcsslQU of face, tbo eyes and hands, that you almost expect to hear them speak. Tbo father's countenanco amid a group surrounding his dead baby, Is enough to make you cry Just to look at it. Hero again is a largo exhibit of "faience," (glazed pottery.) Among othor pieces, a vnso six feet high, worth $150. Crossing tbe nave wo enter Japan whero, passing right by plies of tbo ordinary lacquer watc, wo no- tlco some inlaid with mother of pearl birds, as brilliant as any from the tropics. Im mense screens of dellcato-bucd silk abound ; upon ono was tho brown, scraggy branch of an applo treo covered with lovo ly blossoms and at Its foot a coupla of whllo storks feeding in tbo long grass all of tbo most exquisite embroidery. Anoth er templed you to pluck a spray ofconvol vulus that was thrown over It. Morostrik lng still woro tbo peacocks, tba metallic colors of their plumage perfectly represent ed by overlaying stitches of ombroldory. Elephant's tusks aro mounted upright up on ebony and carved and colored In all sorts of shapes and hues ; and of courso lliero Is no cud of fans. A step takes us into China, and now Indeed you sco wood carvings. Tboso of Italy, Norway and Sweden wcro chiefly solid, but these aro light and airy as lace work. Ono bedstead begins its carvings at the base with somo good, solid, grinning mandarins n foot in length, thon tapers and refines upward in to an oponwork canopy of flowers, and birds and butterflies on tho wing. Observo that theso delicate, highly finished carvings aro several Inches In thickness. Another bedstead similarly carved is circular like an old stage coach body, with plcturos painted upon a canopy of finest gauze. Passing through Denmark, and Egypt with Us slull'od crocodile, lis specimens of an cient aud modern dress and tools, Its mag nificent gold-embroidered satin and velvet tablo covers, model sphinxes, pyramids, Ac, we come to tho beautiful portals of Spain, Its coat-of-arms and big-lettered "Kjpagna," all around us. I believe there is about everything here that can be man nfactnred and lu tbe most prodigal profu sion. Immense cases of elegant satins. and enough linoly embroidered gentle man's linen to feed tho vanity of all tbo' masculines that "may, can or must, might, could would or should" visit tho Exposi tion. Tho tapcslrles from Madrid wottb sovcral thousand dollars each, pleased mo best of anything In tho department.' litis alalia I furs soft and tlollcalo as a cloud, marvels In malachllo, great tablos and oven flro-placos nnd mantels of It, Tho upright panels of ono of theso aro lormod of a mo saic or natlvo marbles, with tho upper squaro filled with, fruits of Siberian stones cut In high teller, Tboso stones, rhodonite, nephrite, Ac, aro translucent, and tbo pro clso color of tho fruits, so that tho grapes, raspberries and white currants fairly make your mouth water. Amid a mass of beau tiful things In stiver and gold I recall somo cako baskets of tbo latter with fringed nap kins of cloth of silver lying across them. Austria gleams with Bohemian glass ; not tbo common red nrtlclo by any means, but wbolo lea services in green, dclicato as sea foam, roso-lcnf pink, and palest blue all enameled, somo lu white, somo In brilliant birds and flowers. Ono set In pink and gill, tbo attendant told me, was tho latest stylo which I was glad to know lu caso or purchasing; they wcro only a row hun dred dollars tbo sot. This department is rich also in Vono tlan bronzes, bent-wood fnrnlluro and specimens of silver and gold repousse (hammered) that exhausts your adjectives nnd exclamations, not to speak of bugo cases of garncls. .A. II. i: I.u'H at Washington's Hkadquau thus at Nkwuuro. Washington brought his wlfo here, as did also Gen. Kuox. Mr. Washington was fond of gardening, and wllb tho opening orSprlng bad a Hltlo plot or ground to tbo east or tbo houso spaded up, lu which sho planted (lowers. Tho bricks which formed tho border of the walks wero vlslblo till within a low years. Washington's life guard bad their quarters a little to the east of tho bouse. Here, as everywhere else, he was very methodical In his habits. Tho breakfast, however, wa3 an Informal affair. After it was finish ed, Washington's burso was brought up, and bo rodo away to tho head-quarters of somo of bis Generals. Every ono was free to come to lunch or not. lSut tbo dinner was always cry formal. Tbo usual hour was 5 o'clock, and cveryono was expected to appear In full dress. Washington, If tbe guests wcro not all present, allowed five minutes for tbo variation In tltno-plcccs ; then dinner was served, no matter how few or many might bo absent. Grace was said by tho chaplain, Iflio were present; irnot, Wasblngtou performed Iho service stand ing. Hamilton, when bo was present, did tho honors ot Iho table. If bo wero absent, ouo of tbe aides do camp took his place. Ordinarily thcro were Ihreo courses; llrst meat and egctablci, then pastry, and last, walnuts and apples, a dessert or which Wasblngtou was especially fond. There was always an abundant supply of wine, whloh was uniformly drank with somo toast or sentiment. Tho dinner lasted about two hours. Tbo table was then clear ed off, snd tbe leaves laken out to mako It round. Mrs. Wasblngtou presided at this with old-lasliloucd formality, and from her own sliver tea service, which sho bad brought with her, served tea and coffeo. At nine o'clock tbo supper table was spread, and remained so tilt eleven. Thrco or four light dUhc, with fruit and wal nuts, composed tho entertainment. When tho cloth was removed, each In turn was called upon for a loast, which was drank by all, and an hour of quiet couvlvlalily was passed. Tbo Marquis do Chastcllux, a member of tho French Acadcrily, who camo out as Mpjor General with Itocham beau, published a volume of travels In 1787 Iu which bo speaks In glowing terms oflhcso entertainments. He was a guest or Washington in this old building at two different times, and seemed to enjoy theso social meals very much, which ho says woro very free and agreeable, "General Washington toasting and conversing all tbo time. Tho nuts aro served half open, and the company aro never done eating and picking them." Ilaron Steu ben, whoso bcad-quatlers wero on tbo oth er side of the river in Iho old Verplanck house, was always a welcome guest at tbe dinner-table or Washington. On ouo occa sion Kobert Morris aud other gentlemen wero present, aud during tbo meal tbo great financier of the colonics complained bitterly of tbo bankruptcy of tbo treasury. "Why," said tbo Huron, "aro you not fi nancier? Why do you not create fundsT "I have done all I can ; it is not posslblo for mo to do more," be replied. "What, you remain financier without finances?" Yl" "W1I llinn T tin tint Ihlnb- vn as honest a man as my cook. Ho-camoto me ono dav at Vallcv Force, and said.: Mlarou, I am your cook, aud you have uoiuiiig to cook out a picco oi lean ucci which is bung up by a string before tbo fire, your negro wagoner cau turn tho string and do as well as 1 cad. You have promised mo $10 a montb ; but as you have nothing to cook, I wish to bo discharged, and not longer be chargeable to you.' That Is an honest fellow, Morris." Ualaxy. Mone Gossip About this Havf.s Fam ily. This is what an old Columbus frleud of Gov. Hayes tells about his courso dur ing tho canvass for tho Cincinnati conven tion. "Hundreds of letters were written to blm offering him support In the conven tion to secure him tbe nomination, and ho docllned to answer them. In making up tbo Ohio delegation It was apparent that men In favor of Dlalno or Mortou would get on, and so manipulate It that ho (Hayes) would bo Icrt out In tbo cold. His friends advised blm to look after tho thing and pre vent such n consummation, but ho steadi ly declined to Interfere, and down to tbo last day or tbo convention ho nevor, by word or deed, acted In a way that Indicat ed ho Bought tbo position." And this was the way ho cntorcd tho army as a private; "Stanley Maltbewsof Cincinnati and Hayes were old school-fellows, and, when the war brokooul, they agreed to raise a regiment between them. Men enough offered to form two regiments, but, when they picked their number aud brought them on hero to Columbus to offer their services to Gov. Donnlson, they found there was some Jeal ousy among tbo officers at having two law yers put over their beads, so In a spirit of patriotism and harmony both men went In as privates." Gov. Hayes has live chil dren living aud three dead. Ills oldest son, Illrcbard Hayes, 22 years old, Is studying at Harvard law school, but Is now home ou vacation, Tbo next, Webb C, Hayes, a fine, Ingenious young fellow or 20, Is study ing atr Cornell college, and is captain of the Cornell navy.

Tho first day of tho Democratic National Convention, which tssotnblcd at St. Louis on Tuesday of last wcok, was occupied with the organization. On tho second day tho first business In order was tho report of tho comnilttco ou resolutions, but tho com mittco wero not ready to report, aud a va ricty or resolutions concerning tbo order or business and olhor matters were oll'ered and disposed or. John Kelly offered a me morial from Influential Democrats In New- York, jirolestlug against tho nomination of Tilelcn, but It was declared out or order. Much w;rangling took place, but It was tin ally ended by tho announcement that tbo committee on resolutions would bo ready to report at 2 o'clock, A recess was taken until that hour. On reassembling tho com mittee made a majority and minority re port, Iho potulofillffurencobolng tbe finan cial plank of tbo platform. Tbo majority repent condemned tho Itcpubllcans for their imbecility in not returning to specio payment, accused them of placing hin drances lu tho way of resumption, de nounced theso hindrances, and demanded the repeal of the resumption act. Tho mi nority report declared that this act was In jurious to the country aud demanded Its unconditional repeal. After great confu sion on tho motions and countcr-motlcns, tho majority re poll was adopted by a' decis ivo vote. The nomination or candidates then commenced. Thomas Francis llay ard, or De-Ian arc, was the first uomlnco ; Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana, came next ; Joel I'arker of New Jersey, follow ed; then camo Samuel J. Tilden of New York, who was followed by William Al len, or Ohio, aud Gen. Wlnllcld Scott Han cosk, or I'cnusyltaula. This completed tho list of nominees, and the balloting en sued. On tho first ballot thcro was no choice; on tho second Samuel J. Tilden rccslvcd moro than tho necessary tvo thlrds of tbo votes, aud was declared tho candidate of the Democratic party. On the second day Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana was unanimously nominated for Vice President on the first ballot. Tbo platform adopted Is as follows: T11K UtMOCllATlC I'LATIOIIM. We, the delegates of the democratic par ty of the United Slates, in national conven tion assembled, do hereby declare tbo ad ministration of tho federal government to bu in urgent need of iuiincdlato reform. Wo hereby enjoin upon the nominees of tbls convention and Hie democratic party a zealous work and co-oporallou to this end, and do hereby appeal to our fellow citizens or every former political connection, to un dertake with us tills first and most press ing patriotic duly tit Iho democracy of the whole country. Wo do hero reaffirm our faith In the permanency of tho federal Union, our de votlou to Ibe constitution of the United Stau-M, wllb its amendments universally accepted as a final settlement ot tho contro versies that engendered civil war; aud do hereby record our steadTast confidence in the perpetuity of republican self-govern-inem, lu absolute ncemicsctico to the will or tho majority tio vital principle of re publics; Iu Iho supremacy of the civil over Iho military authority ; lu Iho total separa tion of church aud stuip, for the sake alike or civil and tellglous freedom ; in tho equality of nil citizens belorojust laws of their own enactment; in Iho liberty of In divid. lal conduct, lilivcxed by sumptuary laws ; In tbo faithful education of the ris ing generation, that they may preserve, en joy and Iruniiult theso best conditions or human happiness and hope. Wo behold the noblcvl products of a hundred years or changeful history, but whilo upholding the bond of our Union, and Iho great charter or theso our rights, it behooves a Treo peo ple to practice, also, that eternal vigllanco which is Iho price or liberty. Iteforni Is necessary If wo would rebuild and ostabtish in the hearts of Iho whole people tho Union, eleven years ago happi ly livened from the danger oT a secession or Stales, but now to be navcd from a cor rupt centralism, which, alter Inflicting up on ten Stato tbo rapacity uf caipet bag ty rants, has huncy-combcd tbo otllces of the federal government llseir with incapacity, waste and fraud, in reeled States and mu nicipalities with the contagion of misrule, and locked fast the prosperity of an Indus trious people In Ibe paralysis or hard times. Reform Is neces-ary to establish a sound currency, restore the public credit and maintain the national honor. We denounce tbe failure for all theso 11 years to make gooel the promlsoor Iho legal tender notes, which are a changing standard or value iu tbo bands of the people, and tbe non-payment or which Is a disregard or tbe plight ed faith of the nation. Wo deuouueo tbe improvidence which, in 11 years of peace, has taken from the people in federal taxes thlrlcon limes Ibe whole amount of the le gal lender notes, and squandered four times Ibis sum In useless expenses, with out accumulating any rescrvo for their re dcnif lion. Wo denounce the financial Im bed I lly and immorality of the party which, during 11 years of peace has made no ad vanco toward resumption, but instead has obstructed resumption by wasting our re sources and exhausting all our surplus Income, and whilo annually professing to Intend a speedy return to specio payments, has annually annexed fresh hindrances thereto. As such a blndrauco we denounce the resumption clause of tbe act ol' 1875, aud we hereby demand Its repeal. We de mand a judicious system of preparation by public economy, by official retreuch meutand by wise finance, which shall ena ble tbe nation saou to assuro the whole world of its perfect ability nnd its perfect readiness to meet any ol Its promises at the call or tho creditor entitled to payment, We believe such a system, well devised, and above all entrusted to competent hands for execution, creating at no lime an artifi cial scarcity or currency, and at no tlmo alarming tbe publie inlud luto a withdraw al of that vast machinery of credit by which 00 per cent of all business transac tions are performed, and inspiring general confidence, would, from the day of Its adoption, bring healing on its wlugs to all our harassed Industries and set iu motion tbe wheels or commerce, manufactures and tbo mechanical arts, rcstoro employ ment to labor, and renew In all its uatural force tbe prosperity of tbo people. Rerorm Is necessary In tbe sum and modo of federal taxation, to tbo end that capital may bo sot free from distrust and labor lightly burdened. We denounce Ibe pres ent tariff, levied upon nearly four thousand articles, as a mastorpleco of Injustice, iue- auality and falto protonses. It yields a wlutlllug, not a yearly rising, revouue; It has impoverished many industries to sub sidize a few; it prohibits Imports that might purcbaso the products of American labor; it bas degraded American commerce from tho first to au inferior rank on the high seas; it has cut dowu the sale of American manufactures at home aud abroad, and depleted the returns of Amer ican agriculture tho Industry followed by half our peoplo; It costs the people flvo times more than It produces to Ibe treasu ry, obstructs tbo nrocessos of production, and wastes the fruits of labor; It promotes fraud aud rosters smuggling, enriches dis honest olllcials.nnd bankrupts honest mer chants. We demand that all custom house taxation shall be ouly for revenue. Reform Is necessary in tbo scale of pub Ho expenses, federal stale and municipal. Our federal taxation has swollen from six ty millions gold In ISCOto four buudred and arty inillinus currency in 1870, or in a dec ade from loss than flvo dollars por head to more than 18 dollars per bead. Since the peace tbe peoplo have paid to their lax gatherors moro than Ibrlco the sum of tbo national debt, and moro than twice that sum for tbe fe leral government alone. We demand a rigorous frugality iu every de partment aud from overy officer of the government. Reform is necessary to put a slop to tbe proBlgalo waste of the publlo lauds and their diversion from actual settlers by the party in power, which has squandered two hundred million ot acres upon railroads alone, and out of moro than Ibrlco that ag- Srcgato ban disposed of loss than a sixth Iree lly to tho llllor or tbo soli, Rororm is necessary to correct tho omis sions or tbe republican Congress and tho errors or our treaties and our diplomacy. which hnvo stripped our fellow-citizens of rorclgn birth utid kindred race rccro-smg Iho Atlautlc, of tho sbloldof American cit izenship, and have exposed our brethren or tho l'aclflc coast to tho Incursion of a race, not sprung from tbo satno great pa rent slock, in fact now by law denied citl zonsblp through naturalization, as being neither accustomed to the traditions of pro gressive civilization nor exercised In liber ty Under equal laws. Wo denounce the pol icy which thus discards the llberty-ioving German, and tolerates Iho revival or tbe Coollo trado In Mongolian women Import ed Tor Immoral purposes and Mongolian men hired to perform servile labor con tracts, nnd domand such modification of the treaty with tbo Chinese empire, or such legislation by Cougross within n constitu tional limitation, as shall provont the fur ther Importation of Immigration or the Mongolian race. Iteforni Is necessary, and can never be effected but by making It tho controlling Issue of tbe election, and lining it above Iho two falsa Issues with which tbo oQlce holdlng class and tbe party now In power seek to smother It tbo lalso lssuo with which they would enkludlo sectarian strife In respect to publlo schools, or which tho establishment and support belong exclu sively to Iho sovcral Stales, and which tho democratic party has cherished from their foundation, and Is icsolvcd to maintain without partiality or preforenco of any class, sect or creed, and without contribu tion from tbo treasury to any of them ; and the false lssuo by which thoy seek to light anew tbo dying embers of sccllonal halo between kindred people once estranged, but now reunited In ono undivided repub lic and a common destiny, Rerorm Is necessary lu tbe civil service. Experience proves that an efficient and eco nomical conduct of tbo government busi ness is not posslblo if Its civil service be subject to change at overy election, be a prlzo fought for at tho ballot box, bo a brief reward of parly zeal, Instead of posts of honor, assigned for proved competency, and held for fidelity In tbo publlo employ ; that tbo dispensing of patronage should neither bo a lax upon tho time of alt our public men northelnstrumentor thelram bltloi. Here, again, professions falsified In the porrormanco attest that tbo party lu power can work out no practical or saluta ty rerorm. Reform is necessary even more In tbe higher grades of the publie service. Pres ident, vice president, Judge?, senators, rep resentatives, cabinet ofllcers, these aud all others in authority are the people's ser vants. 'Iheir offices aro not u private per quisite ; they aro a public trust. When Ibe annals of Ibis republic show the dlsgraco and censuro of a vice president, a lato speaker of tho House ot Representatives, marketing his rulings as a presiding offi cer ; threo senators profiting secretly by their votes as law-makers; fivo chairmen of Iho leading commi'.tcesof the late House or iteprcscntatlvcs exposed in jolibory; a lato Secretary of tho Treasury lorclng bal ances In the publlo accounts ; a late Attor ney General misappropriating public funds; a Secretary of tbe Navy encrlched or en riching friends by percentages levied off tho profits of contractors with bis depart ment; an ambassador to England censured for a disbonorablo speculation; the presi dent's nrlvatn sprretnrv liareilv ecanine; conviction upon trial for guilty complicity in irauus upon me revenue ; a aecreury oi War Impeached for bleb crimes and con fessed misdemeanors thedetnoiistrallon is complete that the first step lu reform must no Iho people's choice nr honest men from another parly, lest the disease or ono polit ical organlgalion Infest tbe body politic, and lot, by nuking no change of men nr parly, we can get no chargo of measures amino reform. All these abuses, wrongs and crimes, tbo product nr sixteen years' ascendency of tho republican party, crcaie a nce-eslly for reform, confessed by tbe rcpubllcins themselves, but their reform ers are voted down In convention and din- placed from tho cabinet. Tho narlv s mass uf honest voters are powerless to resist the eighty thousand office holders, Its leaders aud guides. Reform cau onlv be bad by a peaceful c!v!n revolution. Ve domand a change or syslom, a change or administra tion, a change or parlies, that we may navo a change or measures aud men. The reading was frequently interrupted by upplauo. The denunciation or re sumption, and tho demand for its repeal, was received with special favor. Huuiurl 3. Xllil.u. Samuel J. Tilden, Iho Democratic nom inee for tbe Presidency, was born In New Lebanon, a farming town or Columbia county, N. Y in 1814. Ho comes or Puri tan ancestry, ono or the Tildens settling dowu iu tho town ot Sciluate in 1G64, and being prominent in local history thereafter. Wbeu Young Tilden entered Yale tn 1822, at the a;o ot eighteen, he was absorbed In political matters and wrote an essay on Ibe evils or tbe Wbig-unti-Masonlc coalition against Jackson, which gained him much credit. In Ibe troublous tlmo or the mon oy panic or 1S37 young Tilden defended tbo policy of tbe Administration, and thus early enunciated the principles of hard' money to which it Isonlyjusttosay hehas sloadfastljr adhered. After President Polk's olectiou Mr. Tilden abandoued politics for some years aud practised his profession with great success. Tho instances uf bis remarkable legal ability are too numerous to be cited. His coursedurlng tho war was In sympathy with the prevailing policy or his party. His deliverances iu favor or sound money wcro moro lu accord with Republican Ideas now than his war speech es could bo at any time. While not a "cop perhead" lu the sense which Vallandlgbam was so termed, Tllden's record In tbo war was not of tho best, and will doubtless provotbo vulnerable point in th'e campaign. Since tbo war, Mr. Tllden's work with Charles O'Conor and others for tbe destruc tion of tbo "Ring" brought him Into prom inence. In his gallant fight Mr. Tilden had the support of honest mon. both In and out of his party. His brief service In thu New 1 ort legislature gave nun autilllonat pres tige as a champion of reform ; and ho vtas tiken up by tbo Democrats as tbelr candi date for Governor and elected over General Dlx by a large majority. Tbe victory over Ibe Canal. Ring has been obcof tho most marked features of tbo Governor's admin istration, which has resulted In a great re duction in tbe lax levy and general ex penses of tho State. Governor Tilden, now sixty-three years old, is five feet ten inches high, of rather spare build and a nervous, quick, lawyer-like manner. Though not a "magnetic" man, Governor Tilden is a man of good presence and considerable person al following. Thoniua A. lfendrlcbs. Mr, Hendricks was born In Ohio, Sept. 7, 1810, graduated at Hanover College In 1811; prepared himself for bis profession of the law and settled in Indiana, and prac tised with considerable success for some years, though frequently mingling in poli tics. In 1848 be was chosen to tbe State Legislature. From 1851 to 1855 he was a Representative In Congress, Iu 1SG0 he ran for Governor against Ileury S, Lane and was defeated. In 1802 be was chosen to the United States Senate for tbe term ending in 1S00. In the Democratic Nation al Convention of 1803 be was a prominent candidate for tbe Presidency, and at oue tlmo bad tho highest vote, but jvas defeat- edlby Vallaudigbanv and the Ohio Demo crats, who went for Seymour, Since his Senatorial term oxplred he has been cm ployed almost entirely In the practice of his profession. If he Is a good man for tbe Democracy to nominate for Vice President, bo Is also a good man for the Republicans to beat, and they will aurolj do it. ItEVVDLlOAN COUNTY CONVEN TION.

Resolved, That events of tbe last year have served to reuder more evident tbau ever tho necessity or organized opposition to the Masonic party, uuder whose "sllent longuo" policy our men In ofllco have re mained silent while our national and state politics liaio become corrupted to an ex lent beyond anything heretofore known In tho bistory of the country, tbe treasury be ing plundered, and the community demor alized by back-pay grabs, credit-moblller swindles, sale ot office, land-grant specula tions, trading-post jobs, whiskey rings, masonic rings, and all other Ingenious de vices that craft can dovlse, or sworn secre cy cover up and sholter from detection. Itetolved, That Ibe most practical way, If not tbe only way, of dealing with these evils, is to wrest the power from that stand ing secret caucus, tbe Masonic Lodge, and restore it to tbo free, open action ortue peo ple, by voting persistently, on all occasious for antlmasonlc candidates for office. Resolved, That wo present our antlma sonlc ticket with confidence and satisfac tion for tho support of tbe voters or Wind ham county, fearlessly declaring that we aro opposed to all sworn secrecy, nnd to alt sly, secret practices In the management of the affairs of society or the state; that we are In favor or just and oqnal taxation on all real estate of every description ; and our aim is to restore tbo politics of tbo slate, as far as possible, to what they were when distinguished for opeuuess, manliness, per sonal Independence and honesty In the years beroro the war. Resolved, That we are opposed to the making a national or stato holiday out or pretended respect for tbo dead, or keeping alive tbe memories or civil war, or hiding from public scrutiny by floral demonstra tions and other Masonic devices tbe faults of the war administration, by which, not only was an immense debt and neglected duties Imposed upon future generations that ought to have been met In tbls, but a false currency has become established, which Is a stauding violation of tho consti tution, corrupting our morals, our man ners, our polities, and our business. Resolved, That we again appeal to the people of Windham county and of the slate, to arouso for the defense ot ono of tbe chief laws for the protection of tbelr liberties, viz., that orprohibiting extra judicial oaths, which law has been, and still is, trampled upon with arrogauco and contempt by the Masonic party. Resolved, That tbe tendency of eiur re publican politics, as administered of late year, by the Ma-onlc Lodge, is to run the state into Democracy, that party which oc casioned tbo war, which obstructed the war when brought on, and which will mako the war or no effect If It again comes Into power; and wo urge upon the people the necessity orarresting this tendency by securing Iho proper kind ofmen for candi dates for office at the approaching fall elec tion. Catupuliru Xotra. The Hartford Couraut strongly Indorses Governor Hayes, personally, it says or blm: "Educated, cultivated, wealthy, pure, with character securely formed aud settled, we cau well feel confidence that tbo tone of tbe Administration will be high and puro. That Rulberford B. Hayes is a gentleman no ono will fall to know lu the course of the next few weeks." William A. Wheeler is known lo Iho re publicans of New York as one or the best presiding ofllcers in tbe Slate, an accom plishment which will mako him especially valuable when, as Vice Prcsldeut he takes tbe ehair or tho Sonate. Mr. Wheeler Is a large, powerfully built man, stauding very erect when speaking, and sending forth his utterances with fearless frankness. His hair is growiug very gray. It. is always combed with scrupulous care, always thrown back from a high, squaro forehead, undor whose brows there aro very observ ant eyes. He wears no beard or mous tache ; tbe jaws aro as squaro as the out lines of tbe forhead, 'and tho whole face Is expressive of earnest thought. Governor Hayes nisdo a pleasant Utile address tbo other day to tbe graduating class of tho Ohio Unlvorsity, as be deliver ed to tbo members their diplomas. He re minded them that this was an "age of shams, of show and extra vagauco; au age or paint, varnish and gildiug, where tbe homely virtues or economy, Industry aud plain common honesty are forgotten, a,nd tbe vices of show and extravagance pre vail, alas I too often." Ho advised them lu going Intd tbe activities or such an ago to carry with fhem, "not merely into or dinary transactions, not merely Into com mon business, but make a part or all you do lu tbo whole circle or duty and ef fort," tbe maxim, "Honesty is not only the best policy, but Its own sufficient aud very great reward." Tbe advice Is cerlaluly good, and there could be no belter maxim for those In exalted publlo positions. Incidents of Gov, Hayes's, early lire be gin to crop up thickly In the Western press. One of the most characteristlo Is narratod by thp Wasblngtou correspondent of the Cincinnati Inquirer, who llrst saw Hayes wbon he camo from Maumee couuty, poor, unkuowit and friendless, to practice at tbe Cincinnati bar. Ho was shy aud depressed Iu bis manners, and fow nutleod or asso ciated with tho stranger, as he took bis seat 'day after day In tbo court roam, walling for a chance cllout, Oue day a wretched Idiotic girl was arraigned for murder. She had neither friends nor money, and the presiding judge, thinking to do a good turn to tbe briefless one, assigned to Hayes the duty or defendlug her. To tho surprise of all be acquitted himself In a masterly man ner ; bis eloquent and forcible speech se curing tho acquittal of bis client and gain ing tbo admiration of all his hearers. Tbe opening of which bo so successfully avail ed himself, lod to bis obtaining a large and lucrative practice.
