The Philadelphia luC'rd, an as
sistant Democratic journal, tbi.s
speaks of the result of the Democratic
Convention in Ohb :
The nomination of Kwiag as the
Democratic candidate for Governor
of Ohio makes the Gnancial question
the issue of the campaign, and puts
tne Democratic party distinctly on
the wrong side of it. The resolu
tions are nothing; the candidate is
the platform. Every conservative
man in the country will regard the
election or Foster, the Republican
nominee, as every way desirable.
Republicans will have reason to re
joice in the success of their candidate,
and level-headed Democrats will see
in such a result a failure which has
less peril in it than success.

of members cf the "happy lamily."
Si'EAKtS'i of the Democratic ir
reconcilables in Congress, the Wash
ington correspondent cf tbe New
York Tribune says: "It has leak
ed out that the programme decided
oa in the joint caucus received the
approval of only two or three more
than half of the members of the
House present! Speak
er Randall is understood to have
supported the Blackburn programme
in tbe caucus.
Two other Pennsylvania Represen
tatives besides Speaker Randall are
euid to have supported the revolu
tionary programme in the caucus.
These are Messrs. Clymer and Cof
froth. The latter gentleman is par
ticularly outspoken ia his denoncia
t on of the aurrender policy adopted,
and of what he calls tbe cowardice
and inefficiency of tbe Democratic
leaders. Whether the cooler heads
of the Democratic party in the Hoose
will be able to bold tbe irreconcila
bles in check and keep them qniet
until the hour cf adjournment arrives,
baa become an interesting problem."

it is learned by rote to bs repeated

The fecsdijn of that budy jut ad
journed, was protected, and the
number of necessary laws euacted,
few ; but it must be remembered that
theee enactments were culied, and
formed and shaped from an immense
mass of crudities annually poured
into tbe legislative hopper, by tbe
grasping, the selfish, the discontent-
ed. and the aoirintr members ol the
community, each and all of whom

has a purely personal motive to bo ;

Tbe Legislature just adjjurued
was composed of the average materi

stage without lare profit, but with
no di risive result materially birie
ful to tbe State. lis svi-hou was
much protracted by reason of ibe

but is measurably compensated by
the evidence elicited, of tbe tried aod
approved integrity of the large mass
of its members.
Viewing it from a partisan stand
point, Republicans can feel well con
tent with the general results of the
session, and from a local point of
view, rest thoroughly satisfied that
our own county and people were
well and ably represented by men
who ployed no inconsiderable pari, and
whose action can be thoroughly en
dorsed by their constituents.
Is its State Convention oa Wednes
day last, tbe Ohio Democracy mist
thoroughly gave itself away, :n nom
inating General "Tom Ewing" for
Governor. Ewing has been the most
blatant cf Greenbackers, and by his
(nomination the Democrats thought
to catch the vote of that party, but
they, being assembled in Convention
at the same place, (Columbus), re
fused to swallow the bait, and placed
in nomination a candidate of their
00. Tne net result of the tvo con
ventions is tbif: Tna Democrats
threw overboard their present Gov
ernor Hishop who was evidently
tbe strongest candidate before ibe
convention. He and his friendi, in
turn, helped to beat Rice, who was
the candidate of the Tburman wing
of tbe party, and tbe result was the
nomination of Ewing, not as a 'com
promise candidate, but as an acci
dent, the man on whom the vengeful
partisans of the ether two candidates
threw off, intent primarily on beating
each other, but each faction hopeful
of catching the greenback vote, for
this the most pronounced greenbacker
among the Democratic candida.es.
In this tbey were doomed to be dis
appointed however, as the Green-j
back Convention, notwithstanding
tbe eager manipulation of its Demo
cratic element, insisted upon putting ;
its own candidate in tbe Geld, where
upon tbe Eaing element bolted and
at once called another convention.
The suaiaiary cf the event as
sporting men say :a as loiiows
Tburman, who based his hopes of the
Presidency on maintaining bis man
Rice and carrying tbe State is flat
tened out. Bishop, tbe present G v
ernor, who hoped to be nominated
and carry tbe Slate in tbe interests of
Tilden, is badly whipped, and con
sequently "Sammy" will not open a
new barrel to carry for bim a doubt
ful State. Ewing who also has Presi
dential aspirations, based oa being
elected Governor, has Tburman in
his wool, Bishop pegging Lim ia the
midriff, Tilden scouting bis soft money
vagaries, and viciously kicking his
shins as in bis road, and tue Green
backers swearing they will not be
used aa a tail to the Democratic kite
for any man professing their creed, but
steadily training wi;b another organi
zation. And iu this shape the "hap
py family" enter a campaign against
"Charley Foster," ibe Republican
nominee, one of tbe ablest aod best
organizers in tbe State, a man
conceded ability, and of large and
growing personal popularity.

About tbe darkest blot on the rep
utation of Americans for popular in
telligence is the existence of ibe
Greenback party, and the fact that
not even tbe logic of eveu s can clear
eome men's brains of the soft-money
cobweb that has been spnn therein.
Immediately after ibe passage of the
Resumption act in 1 875 they com
menced their evil predictions that
we never could get back to specie
payments, or that if we did, it ould
not be maintained, and tbey rung an
infinite variety of changes en this
theme. Bat in spite of tbe false
prephets resumption was perfected at
tbe appointed date; the paper dollar
in tbe workinguian's pocket was made
equal to tbe gold dollar in the bank
vaults ; all kinds of legitimate busi
ness and industry grew better, and
now, six months after resumption,
we have proved that it can be up
held. Most men, when they find
that tbey have been utterly mistaken
as to any matter of policy and prac
tice, and that things have turned ont
exactly opposite to what tbey antici
pated, have the modesty to acknowl
edge their error, and to refrain from
attempting to teach where they bave
only blundered. Tbe inflatiosists,
however, are a brilliant exception to
this rule of common-sense. The
proof that tbey were all wrong bs
simply made the mass of them more
blantant than ever. In the Demo
cratic party and tbe Greenback or
ganization they still cry oat for bas
tard money, based on nothing, de
manding that the government shall
set the treasury printing presses to
work, and turn out fictitious dollars
until tbe land is strewn with worth
less paper currency. It seems al
most as if they were infected with tbe
obstinacy and ignorance of half-civ-ilzed
people.
Of course, it is as useless to talk to
theee perverted folks as to attempt to
argue with a phonograph. Nobody
can pretend to anacretand the details
of what tbey want, for tbey are not
exactly lucid in their own ideas, and
are quarreling among themselves
But tbe one central feature of all their
schemes whether contained in an
Ohio Democratic or a Maine Green
back platform is tbe issue by tbe
government of an unlimited amount
of irredeemable paper, regulated by
what tbey are pleased to call the de
mands of business. As Congress
would gauge the sum, its stupendous
knowledge of what busioess requires
wonld inevitably come into play. It
is more than ridiculous that while
both wings of tbe Ohio Greenbackers
are in unison on this delectable plan,
tbe seceders from the convention of
Wednesday broke away because tbey
could not "conscientiously" sustain
that plank in the platform which calls
for the payment of tbe government
bonds ia greenbacks. Here is split
ting a hair 'twixt south and south
west sides with a vengeance If we
are to bave an nnaamned flood of
paper money that represents nothing
and is never to be redeemed, it would
make no difference what the bonds
were promised to be paid in ; long
befcre they fell due the country theu
would be swept clean of any hooest
money, and tbe holders might as well
throw them into the fire. As for issu
ing a sufficient volume of greenbacks
to pay off the interest-bearing debt,
that wonld call for a mere two thou
sand millions of dollars, and bow
near to nothing tbey would be worth
it is impossible to say. Tbe thing is
about as broad as it is long, and
there is no occasion for the straight
out Greenbackers to divide their
bonse on this question ; nor, indeed,
to buciv fiu luipaeBBUlo gull UCIWCCD
either of them and the Democrats,
who are filling themselves with tbe
wind of the precious Ohio idea.
The one pleasiog circumstance
about their faction squabbles is that
they bring oat into bald relief ibe
fanatical and dangerous designs of
ice extremists, and so impel to return
to the cause of good money thousands
ol voters whose jadgment was over

Ottlmwa, Ia , Jnne 2. General
James Shields, late United States
Senator from Missouri, died sudden
ly in this city, at half-past ten o'clock
last evening. On Sabbath day he
appeared in his usual health, and ate
a beany supper at six o'elcck. He
wrote several letters during the even
ing, but just before retiring complain
ed of a pain in his chest, and soon
tnereafter said to his niece that he
was dying. Thirty minutes later be
expired, sitting in his chair, remain
ing conscious to the last. He lectur
ed ia this city on Wednesday last,
and had remained bere visiting rela
tives. His remains will leave here
for his home in Carrollton, Mo., at
five o'clock this evening.
General Shields was born in Ty
rone county, Inland, in 1810, aod
emigrated to the United Slates about
182C. He served in the Mexican
war, and was elected a . lined States
Senator by the Legislature of Illin
ois in 184'.) In IS.) 7 be was tltcted
aSeuator from the S:ate of Minnesota.
At the breaking out of the war he
entered the Union army and served
with some distinction. His mutt
notable exploit was ibe dtfrai of
Stonewall Jackson, near Winchester,
en March 2'ii, 1SG2 At the e!oe of
the war be took op bi.-t residence in
Carroll county, Missouri, where he
lived in euch abject poverty tbat he
was obliged to pawn bis sword voted
to him by Congress many years ago.
On tbe death of Senator Lewis Bogy
he was elected to fill tbe unexpired
term. His reappearance in tbe Sen
ate was a matter of great iutercst, he
having succesbively appeared in that
chamber as the representative of
three separate States. During his
brief term he managed to bring on
tbe exciting midnight debate over
Jeff Davis by a proposition to pen-1
eion the veterans of ibe Mexican war.
His record in tbe Mexican war was
most creditable He was danger-,
ously wouoded at Cerre Gordo, and
was breveted Major General for his
gallantry on that occasion. He was
also severely wounded at the battle
of Cbapultepec. The wound at Cer
rn Gordo was from agrapesh t which
went straight through his body,
luDgs and all. and came out at tbe
beck, aud ibe wound had to be clean

Chicaoo, June 7 At balf-pait
two nYWk thia afternoon one of ' the
boldest robberies ever committed iu
Chicago was perpetrated near the iu
tei section of Wabash avenue and
Washington street. II U Henson,
a stout colored boy, about twenty
years old, bad been dispatched by
the Illinois Central Treasurer with a
package of money to the Merchants
Loan and Trust Company's Bank
Carl Wilson, tbe bank messenger, ac.
companied him as a guard. The
package contained between $9,000
and $10,000. Tbe exact amount is
known, but the Treasurer refuses to
give it for prudential reasons. When
Uenson and Wilson reached the point
above indicated, two men walked up
to them at an ordinary brisk gait,
separating as tbey approached, going
on either side of the messengers.
When they arrived withia reaching
distance tbey threw tbe contents of a
half-pound can of cayenne pepper full
in the faces of Wilson and Henson,
and subsequently dealr Henson ibree
heavy blows with a sandbag, quick
as tbonght seir.iog tbe package of
greenbacks, which he carried in a
small canvas bag under bis arm, then
jamped into a covered bnggy, which
stood by tbe sidewalk, and drove off
at a furious rate south, down Wabash
avenue.
A considerable cumber of people
wero on the thoroughfare at tbe time,
and quite a number witnessed tbe
bold proceeding, but none were able
to interfere in time to prevent their es
cape. The messenger 4 were nearly
blind from the effects of the pepper,
but as soon as possible reported the
affair. The news was speedily flashed
to all police stations, and most Vigo
rous step3 were taken to capture tbe
highwaymen. 1 bere is no very val
uable clue to tbem, all descriptions
being unsatisfactory, ibe rig has
been found, and identified as oae hir
ed at 11 o'clock this morning, at 517
State Street, by a stranger.

the discovery of a murder which was

has just come to light Two years
ago a revenue officer named Cotton
dissappeared mysteriously. He bad
just caused tbe arrest of a man nam
ed Dunegan for illicit distilling.
James Bryant, a brother in law of
Dunegan, openly threatened tbat he
woold kill Cotton. Little was thought
of his threat. One day Bryant,
while drank, told a man that be had
killed Cotton and bidden bis body.
Aa Bryant was a great braggart, bis
story was not believed. Tbe disap
pearance of Cotton had almost been
forgotien, wLen, day btfere yes
terday, Bryant, on bis death bed,
confessed the deed fully and prayed
for forgiveness. He said be tried to
poison Cotton and failed. "x asper
ated at this, be found bim in the
woods one day and struck him a
blow 6a the bead with a stick, break
ing the skull. He buried Cotton's
body near bis distillery. Yesterday
persons searched tbe place Bryant
bad indicated and found human re
mains, with a skull terribly crashed.
Near by was found a bottle of poison
and a pistol. A Coroner's inquest
was held, but failed to implicate any
one but Bryant. Cotton was one of
tbe most efficient men in tie revenue
service.

Flags were displayed at half mast
from all the Government buildings,
tbe hotels and oiber prominent places.
Altogetter ibe city wore a holiday
attire, and it was as quiet as Sunday
on the streets.
The decorations within tbe District
and at Arlington were iu charge of
tbe Grand Army of tbe Republic. As
early as 9 o'clock tbe people began
their journey to General Lee's t. Id
mansion acror the river ia Virginia
''Arlington" where some sixteen
tbnusaud uai.;n dead ure buried. On
their arrival at the city of lb dead,
wbicb ia one of the most beautiful
places in America, the assemblage
scattered themselves throughout the
grassy bills, sod from under the tow
ering oaks they sat in groups chatting
or making early raids on their dinner
baskets. Whirl families came ; old
soldiers bringing with tbeni their
children born since tbe wai to inetili
in their youthful minds the sacred du
ty which will bo imposed on tbem
when they are gone.
There were plenty of Borers and
decoration everywhere. Tbe tomb
of the two thousand unloosen dead
i was profusely decorated. My little
buncb of evergreens was deposited
there to remind their living souls of
lbe presence of iheir comrade. Who
knows but what some of cur brave
couoiy boys lie under
this monument ?
Tbe Grand Army arrived shortly
before twelve o'clock beaded by the
Marine band in full dress uniform.
The President and Mrs. : Haves ar
rived shortly afterwards and after a
National salute had beea i fired by a
detaebmeut of tbe Signal Corp?, tbey
inaugurated tbe ceremonies by plac
ing wreaths on tbe tomb vT." tbe "un
known." The procession beaded by
tbe Marine Band and marines then
formed in front of the mansion. Tbe
flag on the pole there was at halt
mast. The march was taken to the
cemetery, a short stop being made at
the tomb of tbe "unknown." Tbe
band played a dirge while the tomb
was further and profusely decorated
with flowers.
Reaching the cemetery the large
procession ecattered in all directions
and strewed flowers on the graves.
Each grave had a small United States
flag at its head. During these deco
rations the bind played uolemn mu
sic. Tne procession tbea reformed
and marched to the amphitheatre
where appropriate services were to
beheld. Tbe amphitheatre was cov
ered with new canvass; each of tbe
posts which upheld the circular frame
work bad tbe name of some hero of
the war upon it above a victor's shield.
Tbe old battle flags were there ia
abnndance ; some with the torn
shreds almost dropping from their
staffs. The wood work below tbe
speaker's stand was covered with
bunting and evergreen wreathes. On
a white background were tbe words
"In Memoriam" ia box wood. Oa
ibe stand besides tbe orator and tbe
poet of the day and the officers of
tbe Grand Army of tbe Republic
there were Presideut and Mrs. Hayes,
Webb Hayes, Secretary and General
Sherman, (tbe latter in full General's
uniform) Senators Bruce aod Win
dom, General Meigs and othern.
The assemblage was ciied r
der by Deputy Commander Dingb-iu
who said "eleven years ago the 30. h
ot May was designated for the pur
pose of sireaiog with flowers or oth
erwise decorating the graves of com
rades who died in defence of their
country during tbe late rebellion.
Since that lime we bave mvt here
year by year, not only to commemo
rate tbe glorious aeeds of our depart
ed dead, but to gather their sacred
remains and garland them with tbe
ch.icest flowers of spring-time; to
raise above their beads tbat grand
old starry flag they saved from dia
honor, and to renew in this solemn
place our vows to aid aod assist those
whom tbey left among u, as a sacred
charge, their widows and their or
phan children."
"We also meet here each year not
specially to rehearse deeds of valor
for all admit that brave men were on
both sides, but to glorify a principle
for which each and every one of as
fought, and which we trust, may
gow brighter aod brighter as the
years roll nn."
Rev. A. F. Mason then offered a
prayer and tbe Washington Sanger
band sang a chorus entitled "The
Lord's Own Day."
'Ibe original poem by Hon. R. M.
Daggett, of Nevada, was then recit
ed. It is entitled "The Watch on the
Height. " It opens with ibe story of
a Saxon King, whose subjects beaded
by bis brother, rebelled, bat were
conquered and then pardoned. Bat
the spirit of treason did not sleep and
they eudeavored again to overthrow
tbe government, but their purposes
failed.
Thepeet was loudly cheered by
the vast assemblage and when be got
through he committed the original
document into the hands cf Mrs.
President Hayes who was highly
gratified with tbe ttntiment contained
therein. A noble woman she is. Her
sweet countenance makes tbe enemy
of an old soldier tquirm and wither.

was quite long, the Marine Band

battle fields of tbe recent fierce war i
by the side of tbe once proud home

Tbe speaker then devoted some
space to reciting the customs iu old
en limes of decorating heroes graves
with flowers, citing many natimal
instances from tbe earliest ages, and
said : Why this honor to tbe soldier
dead? Why deck tho aolditr's tomb
with the iresh, fragraut flower of
spring? These garlands aud wreaths
wo strew here to-day are beautiful
and iragraut, but ibeir beuuty will
fade, and their fragrance depart with
the setting uu. This coronation of
floral offerings is nothing to the dead;
it is much to the living. Tbes oead
baye no captivity but tbe grave, and
they are beyond our reach fcr good
or evil.
If ibe spirit wbicb movert us to
briug hither these offerings ia as per
ishable aa ih; uow ornamental 11 w
ers, ibe offering will prove of iittlu
permanent value to the living or tbe
dead. This soiemu aud beautiful
ceremony will be a most hhameles,
anion m ockery if our souls a'e
n t tilled with that high and holy re
solve which inspired tbem. These
dead, with stoul hearts, oeat with
patriotic zeal while ia lifo against
their country's foes.
We shall dishonor their memories
if we prove faithless to their exam
ple. While their lives ebbing oat ou
the bloody field of war or if thev
died more slowly of wounds, want,
or disease in hospital . i ..i i.
their country remained a great beacon-light
ot liberty that last hope
of freedom to tbe oppressed. We
chant the story of their greatness by
sioging to the world of deeds accom
plished, lbe snccesst 8 gained, and re
sults attained tbrongb ibeir personal
sacrifices. But lor ibese sixteen
thousand dead aod ibeir dead and
living comrads, tbe government ot
the people by the people aod for tbe
people would bave perished from the
earth.
Next be d welt upon the evils the
rebellion brought upon our land, and
said: But for the rebellion, eivilizi
tion and Christianity would have
stood still ia at least one half of the
territory of this Union. But for tbe
overthrow of the rebellion and
tbe triumph of the Uuioi
arms this now united naiion
would bave been dismembered two
flags would have floa'.ed over the
inhabitants of a divided country,
and at least one uew o tiiou would
have been iu being, having for us
primal object lbe preservation and
perpetuation of human slavery. Had
lbe rebellion been a success, lbe bsuo
full doctrine would have attained
tbat our national organic act conferr
ed no power not subject to be con
trolled, withheld, or terminated bv
state authority. Had the rebellion
triumphed and the Confederacy be
come an accomplished fact, instead of
being a united, liberty-loving people,
with singleness of purpose, with one
flag and one destiny, and a govern,
ment to be emulated by all other na
tions of the earth, there would have
been two feeble nationalities engaged
in exhausting the resources and ener
gies of each oiber io perpetual strife,
unfearcd and unbonored. Truly tiay
be said:
Oaiit la vain oar Diartyri alarlieil
AnJ not Id vain oar heroes dial."
Next lbe orator paid a tribute to
tbe bravery of the American soldiers.
But he made a distinction between
the bravery of soldiers in a good and
those iu a bad cause. He said :
Had tbe French Marshal Moreau
fallen at Hohenlindea at tbe head of
a French army, and not at Dresden,
fighting with ibe combined despotism
of bis country's enemies against
France and for her dismemberment,
bo would have had a nation of peo
ple to honor and ad.rn his name and
perpetuate his fame. . Had Arnold
failed at Saratoga and been spand
bis fall a. West Point, his bravery
and renown would have been placed
alongside of Warren and other dis
tinguished patriot dead of tbe war tf
lbe revolution. Had Jefferson Davis
fallen at Bnena Vista he would have
beea spared a traitor's fame and tbe
humiliation ot Irwinsville, and his
name would have been registered
among the lovers of his couutry. Ud
General Robert E Lee paid the pen
alty of devotion to his country at
Mexico's capital, be wonld have been
remembered io future vears as one
who never deserted his country's fl g
ia tbe hour of her greatest peril.
Having spokea of the dead com
rades of tho late war the speaker call
ed attention to tbe duty of theliviog.
lie ciosea dj saying tbat tbe history
of all nations teaches that frequent
recurrences of tbe principles wbich
anima'.ed their patriots in times of
peril is essential to tbe preservation
and perpetuation of the result of their
grand achievements. Tbe living are
called upon by tbe same high obliga
tion to preserve and perpetuate the
result of these echieveruents as were
the dead ia their lime called upon for
their accomplishments. When danger
threatens, we should imitate the;r
high resolve. In tbe presence of tte

tola tne snerm ne wished to say
sometbiug. it was removed and Blan
mado a brief speech to lbe crowd
present, whicn numbered several
thousand, iu which te acknowledged
having committed ibe murder. He
said whisky and bad company was
tbe cause, and warned all to shun
both. Tbe cap was then readjusted,
tue urop sprung, and in a lew min
utes Blan was dead. When Sheriff
Uevenzi notified Blan to prepare to
leave cell, be suddenly threw bis
spiritual adviser, who was standing
by bis side, into a corner of the cell,
spraug through the door cf tbe cell
into tbe ante room of lbe jail, and
was just rushing into the jail yard
when be waa caught, aud after a des
perate struggle waa overpowered and
returned to the cell.
St. Loi is, Mo , June C. A spec
ial from Hillsboro, Mo , says :
Mouroe Guy, colored, was hanged
here this afternoon for killing Aaron
McPele, near Desota, last Christmas
night. He was taken from the jail
about half-past one, driven to a scaf
fold erected about half a mile away,
guarded by fifty armed men. He
made a brief speech, stating he tor
gave everybody, hoped everybody
would forgive bim, tbat he trusted
in Jesus aod was prepared to die.
The noose was then adjasted, tbe
rope cut, and ia ten minutes Guy was
pronounced dead.
Tito Children Ratsa.
Reference baa heretofore been
made to tbe disappearance of two lit
tle girls, Mary Scbia and Lizzie Reis
beck, from their homes ia the thirty
fourth ward. Toe children, 4 and 6
years of age, disappeared on Wedaes
day, and, though every effort was
made to find them, nothing could be
learned tbai day. Oa Thursday even
ing a lady applied to Mr. L. D." Buck
ley for permission to inspect a vacant
bouse oa the river bauk, wbicb be
offered for rent Permission being
granted she took a tour through tbe
house aud casually opeded a clothes
press, when toher iutense surpise tbe
little girls staggered oat almost dead
from exhaustion and fright. The
children had gone into the bouse aod
thoughtlessly shut themselves up ia
tbe press. The bouse being some
what isola'ed and their voic.a smoth
ered, tbey had shrieked themselves
hoarse without being able to attract
attention, while a spring latch con
fined them iu their living tomb.
Persons iuclined to a belief in spec
ial providences will find in this inci
dent much to confirm their faith, as it
would not have been considered
strange had no one crossed tbe por
tals of tbe house for a month. There
was great jjy in two households, and
