FRIDAY, JULY 2 7. 1877.

Ono of the first pennies issued by om Government boro the ins'ijription, "Mind your own buaimss.| Very vents-ible advice. Bro. Jam -s is excessively loyal, profound and intelligent, but he never saw any juf them pennies.

Blaine lostliis temper when a Chicago interviewer asked how a man felt when he ha-had the jim jam.-, and began to recover. Jim thought had reference to the "sportive clip” he claims to have received from the Bun. The “mailed warrior” won’t tolerate any jests in that direction, as Old .Sol did him a friendly turn in staving off investigation. Mrs. Gen. Sherman, who is a devout Catholic, is about to receive from his holiness, the Pope, the gift of “the Golden Bose” in testimony of his appreciation of her zeal for 'he church and her friendship for himself. She will be the first American thus honored. Heretofore this sacred symbol has been presented only to persons of joyal blood, and to churches and cities as a pledge of paternal love. Only inree times has Pius IX bestowed the Golden Bose. One to Maria Theresa, Queen of Naples, one to the Empress Eugenia, and one to Elizabeth, Em press of Austria.

THE GREATSTRIKE.

News of the commencement of the great strike in operation over the land will be found on the outside of ihis paper. Since it was printed disturbances have occurred a . Ha. ri - burg,lndianapolis,Chicago, and rna. y other points east and west. The President has issued a proclamationand Federal troops are being sent to where their presence is required. It is to be hoped the trouble has has reached its end. Mob violence cannot be afforded nor should it be tolerated in this country, no matter what the real or fancied wrongs may ho. And while this .should be rite un • Versal sentiment, great monopolies should profit by the lesson of the hour, and correct the vast disproportion that exists between $30,000 a , ear to lilt. President, and 1)0 cents a day to their laboring men—cut down ou the one hand and increase on the other. It may be said to the credit of railroad employes that of 150 rioter s arrested in Baltimore, not one was connected with the railroads. The Democratic State Convention of Ohio met in Columbus, on Wednesday last and placed in nomination the following ticket: Governor—Hon. It. M. Kb’,hop. Lieutenant Governor Gen. Jaboz W. Fitch. Supreme Judge—Judge J. W, Olcey. Clerk Supreme Court It. J. Fanning. Attorney General—Judge Isaiah Pillars. For Treasurer—Anthony Howells. School Commissioner—J. J ; Burns. The Committee on Platform reported the following resol utious which were unanimously adopted: The Democratic party of Ohio in Stato Convention assembled renews its pledges of devotion to the Union and Constitution with its amendments Lt declares as essential to the preservation of free government a faithful adherence to the following principles: Strict constitution, home rule, supremacy of uivil over military power, separation of church and state, equality of all citizens before the law, liberty of individual actions unvexed by sumptuary laws, absolute acquiesence of all into lawfully expressed will of the majority, opposition to all subsidies, preservation of the public lands to the use of actual settlers, and .maintenance and’perfectiug of the common school system. Pertiuent to the issues now pending before the people: Resolved, That we look upon the inauguration of R. B. Hayes to the high office of the Presidency of the United States in spite of a majority of the electoral and popular vote given by the people to Samuel J, Tilden as the most dangerous encroachment upon popular rights that has ever been attempted iu this or any other free country. A repetition of the fraud will not be tolerated. 2. The destruction of the industry of the country and the pauperism of labor are the inevitable fruits of vicious laws enacted by the republican party. . 3. That as a means of relieving the distressed portions of the community, and removing Iho great stringency complained of in business circles, we demand the immediate repeal of the resumption act. 4. That we denounce as an outrage upon the rights of the people the enactment cf the republican measure demonetizing silver, and demand the passage of a law which shall restore to silver its monetary power. 5. That we favor the retention of greenback currency as the best paper money we have ever had, and declare against any further contraction^ 6. We congratulate the country upon'the acceptance by the present administration of the constitutional and pacific policy of local self government in the states south, so long advocated by the Democratic party, and which has brought peace and harmony to that section of the Union. 7. The registry law framed by the last legislature is burdensome and expensive, and discriminates unjustly against the poorer classes of voters, and we therefore demand its immediate repeal. 8. We favor a tariff for revenue only. 9. We favor the issue by the general government alqne of all circulating medium, whether paper or metallic, to be always of equal tender and incou vertible. 10. That we condemn the act of the federal administration in using the regular troops of the United States to interfere with elections and other political affairs of Ntat.es as unconstitutional, unlawful, and unjustifiable, and destructive of the rights of the people,and states, 11. We recommend the ticket this day framed by the convention to the favorable consideration and support of all citizens of the state.

The Rensselaer Sentinel reprints from the Chicago Times that 7,(XX) applications are ou file at Washington for consulships, while but a single vacancy exists; and thereupon lt has the cruelty to say Bro. James, from such an outlook, certainly has favorable prospects i Valparaiso Vidette. We can’t see where the “cruelty” comes in. Bro. James don’t want any offies—says so—and will therefore not be disappointed if he receives none. His trip to Washington was one of phasurc! and we referred to his “prospects” in pleasantry!

MISSISSIPPILETTER.

Magnolia Miss. July, 17th 1877. Dear BKN'mr injustice is sometimes slow to assert itself. Revolutions disorganize society; a great mass of people become corrupt and crime follows in the path once illuminated by virtue and religion, but in the course of time the better principles of man are awakened to life and energy, and the evils produced by bad government are corrected. Those who sow seed among 'ares and thistles are almost sure to to reap the whirlwind. Under the radical government of Mississippi and Louisiana, virtue, honesty and religion, lay almost dormant, in consequence of the evil influences used to arouse the passions of men, to seek revenge for crimes perpetrated upon society. In 1875 Justice was aroused in Mississippi and Adelbert Ames and his pet cohorts ami accomplices in oppression were driven from the sacred public temples which they had converted in harems and dens were schemes for plnrtder were concocted and where military despotism was nurtured at the bleeding breast of a daughter of the Godess of Liberty, In Louisiana to day, the men who sold their birthright, robbed the public treasury, stuffed the ballot box, made officers and a Fresident of the United States by bribery, forgery, and perjury, the instigators of eorruptors of public morals, revelers in dissipation un 1 licentiousness,J the advocates of mixed schools, negr# social equality and amalgamation, are being drawn Up to the bar of justice to answer for their crimes. The hand which smote Sodom and Gomorrah litis pointed the finger of condemnation i.o those malefactors who wantonly disregarded the laws of nature and of God, and installed confusion and anarchy where prosperity and peace should reign. Kellogg and Packard, the chief Tycoons, two of the directly responsible agents of the sufferings of Louisiana, have lied from justice and are yet seeking to keep alive the flumes of sectional discord and hate, which long since should have been buried low in the tomb of oblivion. While thus engaged, their associates in crime are being indicted and arraigned by the Courts, ami will surely nap their reward. Wells, Anderson, Gasanave and Kenner, el id omne genus will go to the penitentiary, while Kellogg and Packard strut with lordly disdain through the chief cities of the North, asserting their pretended right to rule over a people who loathe and despise them.

As I have previously said, nearly all the crimes which have been committed iu the Southern States have their origin in republican leaders and bad government. Those tilings which necessitated the organization of the Ku-Kux-Klau, the Knights of the White Catnelia, Vigilance Committees, Regulators and Bulldozers in the South, arc now being enacted in Pennsylvania by brigands of tramps. Innocent and unprotected women axe outraged and murdered, houses are robbed and o reign of terror prevails. Do we upbraid the people of Pennsylvania lor organizing companies of Bulldozers and shooting down these highway robbers, ravisiiers and murderers? No, sir! we applaud them. It is the certainty of swift,retribution alone that will stop it. Peace and security can only be purchased at the price of blood, the majesty of human and Divine law, the royalty and power or the people, the strong arm of justice. As we have suffered, so Pennsylvania is now suffering, and we will commend the good people, of that unhappy State for doing the same thing for which they upbraided, condemned and abused us, and brought down upon us the whole power of the Federal government, and had us punished. Like Mississippi, with her Kemper county trage ly, Southern Illinois has had her Snruarod outrage iu t.he butchery of Judge Wimhrop and others, lour own town of Mitchell has found a use for a company of Vigilants or Bulldozers. Ohio needs them, anq other Northern States have nothiugto boast of. These things, sir, are the outgrowth of corruption and bad government, and must be corrected at the hands of law-abiding citizens, and at the ballot-box. Where men wai touly violate innocent virtue, the peace of society, murder and rob indiscriminately, outraged jus’ice and self-protection forces a speedy revenge. God knows we wish the people of the North no harm, but we do claim and will assert the right to attend 'to our own business. Your Republicsn papers abuse us because we hang half-civilized, brutal negroes for outraging and murdering Southern white women, and robbing, and then turn round and hang and shoot down tramps and Mollie Maguires in Pennsylvania for committing similar crimes! - Are such people possessed of any souls or common stnse ? Though President Hayes got his office by one of the most stupendous frauds ever perpetrated upon the American people, yet it seems a blessing t.o the country that he has brains to be a just and equitable ruler, and knows bow to, and dares attend to his business in spite of the influence brought to bear against him. Under his administration the South is at peace, because corrupting agents have been removed from our midstand the people are left to administer their own affairs Hew much tetter for the President to have the confidence and good will of the South, who voted solidly against him, than, as was the case during Grant’s administration, to have its hatred, its bitter opposition. and steeped with corruption, blood and crime. President Hayes has less opposition in the whole South to-day than he has in the half of one State at the North, because he has been just. Our people are ever ready to reward virtue, but are as quick to condemn wrong and oppression. Crops in South Mississippi are r - ported by farmers to be good, though in other sections they will be short in consequence Of drought There will be more corn made to South Missis-

sippi this year than has been for many years past. Cotton is also doing well. Our farmers have come down to more systematic sules, and there will be a much greater variety of products made for home use than previously. They are growing more prosperous, year by year, and if we can always have as good government as that administered by Governor Stone, we will soon be independent and happy. We are now looking with much anxiety to our fall elections. The Democrats are well organized and intend to try to keep in power. The Republicans have disbandec sine die; vox populi vox dei. So mote it be. On the first of August the nominations will be made and then the scramble will begin for office. We apprehend an independent ticket, which we would deprecate, as it wo’d engender almost as much bitter hostility as a straight out radical ticket, indeed there would be very little diference. Charlie Halstead and I went on a fishing excursion a few evenings ago —it was hot as blue blazes. Charlie c night a few fish, but “Nick” was nix, Charlie is a nice young man and is making many friends here. Send us more like him, if you can—they will be thankfully received. He soys the folks are all still very well—was in to see me to-day. Yours, Truly, NICK OF THE WOODS. Now, “Nick,” there is but one youug man in this neighborhood who has a violent desire to emigrate to a hotter climate. His disposition is sweeter than honey! He can write about ever} thing and everybody and not lie ? He is a thorough, proficient master of his profession, excelling all others, (in a horn, you know). He has a mortal hatred of carpetbaggers, and in that he would suit you. But we can’t spare Bro. James. The Government desires to make a Consul of him, but we cun’t consent.

Mr. Tilden says he went abroad in part to escape from the übiquitous interviewer who, like the organgrinder, is new every morning and fresh every evening, and when he once sics down on a man never leave s him so long as a grease-spot of him remains.

The Bargain and the Indictment.

There is no concealment on the part of the Republicans that in recognizing Nicholls as the rightful Governor of Louisiana the Administration relied upon the resolution of the Nicholls Senate, made while the inquiry of the Commission was in progress, deprecating “any attempted persecution from any quarter, of Individuals for past political conduct.” Persecution they construe to mean prosecution, and political conduct, as they understand it, includes perjury! The Louisiana Senate pledged itself against persecution for political conduct; iiud mw we are gravely told that the indictment of oerfain public officers for perjury, is a violation of the Senate’s pledge! In the first place, the Senate had no jurisdiction over the prosecution of offences, and in the second place, according to the common understanding of the phrase political conduct, it would not cover t ic detestable crime of false swearing. It would seem, however, from our Republican coutsmnoraries.that Gov. Nicholls so understood it; for it is said that if the indicted members of the Returning Board are convicted, he will pardon them. He feels himself committed in good faith to do that. How committed? It can be only in one way. It can only be that he knew at the time that a false return was to be sworn to for the benefit of Mr. Hayes, that he connived at it in consideration of an agreement to recognize him as Governor. And now the proverbial honor among thieves is to bo scrupulously observed. The general sentiment of the 3ountry will be in favor of getting at the whole truth in this matter. If perjury, wilful and deliberate perjury, was committed by the Louisiana Returning Board, nothing else could be so wholesome in the premises as their conviction. The pardon promised by Gov. Nicholls, while it would destroy him, would not relieve them of the odium of their crime, nor would it diminishjthe bearing of the verdict on Mr. Hayes’ title to the office of President. At the same time the country will be very exacting in one thing, and that is that all the rights .of the accused shall be respected. Like every person charged with crime, they are entitled to the pi’esumption of innocence in their favor. If they are convicted, it must be on evidence which leaves no reasonable doubt of their guilt. In that event, that is, if if they shouid be thus convicted, it is difficult to see how Mr. Hayes could remain in office. Hence we see the great inducement the administration has to screen the alieged offenders. If innocent, we hope they will escape but if guilty, never.-N. Y. Sun.

Anecdote of Eincoln.

A short time before Governor Hen.dricks’sdeparture for Europe, he narrated the following anecdote of President Lincoln to a party of friends: “In one of my trips to Washington, during my term iu the Senate, Judge David McDonald was along. He told me he was an applicant for the position of United States District Court Judge, then vacant, and impressed with his manner and conversation, I became very much interested in his suit. Some days after our arrival in Washington, I met the Judge on the street. He seemed pitifully cast down and said he had failed to see the President himself and had not been able to command the intervention of friends in his behalf. ‘I know Mr. Lincoln very well,’ I said, ‘and I will take you up to see him. I will introduce you and you can present your claims.’ Arrived at the White House and seated in Mr. Lincoln’s presence, I referred briefly to Judge McDonald’s qualifications and the position he desired to fill, leaving him to speak for himself. He had carefully framed his petition, but when he rose and attempted to speak the words faded from his memory and he stood silent and embarrassed. At length his eyes met the kind, sympathetic gaze of the President, who sat looking at him, and he exclaimed, ‘Mr. Lincoln, if you can give me this place, you will make an old man very happy.’ The heart of Mr. Lincoln was touched by this childlike appeal, and he gave Judge McDonald the appointment.”

The sea serpent has appeared off JVahant this time. He has a strange weakness for the vicinity of Boston, and usually flops„his tail somewhere in the neighborhood of its empty hotels at this season of the year. With*out the sea serpent and Ben Butler Boston would be dull and dismal indeed.

DR. J.CAYER: A Warning to Advertisers. Druggist*’ Circular. The insanity of Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, affords a terrible warning to advertisers. Here was a man engaged in the manufacture of a pill, not differing much from a hundred otner pills which may be obtained at any drug store. In an unguarded moment he made up his mind to advertise, not in the picayune style of the ordinary dealer, but in the comprehensive sort of way by which he wo’d reach every pos ible purchaser of pills. He started with the idea of devoting half of his profits each year to advertising. The result might have been foreseen. He accumulated money so rapidly that he did not know what to do with it. When he had rolled together $15,000,000, and had vainly striven to find some outlet for his ever-increas-ing profits, his mind gave way under the absorbing cares of his vast business, and he is now a patient at an asylum for the insane. How easily this calamity might have been averted! If he had stuck to the conservative methods of many of our merchants and refrained from :advertisifig> he might have been passing quietly through bankruptcy npw, instead of being loaded down with his uncounted millions. It is a dangerous experiment for a man who does not want to become rich to advertise; or, if he advertises at all, he must adveitise grudgingly and at long intervals, lest his profits should grow out of all proportion to his requirements, and he should find himself burdened with wealth. Advertising, conducted on the principle of devoting half the profits of a busisiuess to it, is, we repeat, a dangerous experiment. It precipitates a fortune upou the advertiser so suddenly that the chances are even that he will not know what to do with his money. The multitudinous pleasures of bankruptcy, insolvency, and “shinning around” for the wherewithal to meet a note are permanently denied to the man who advertises. There never was, in Europe or America, a great advertiser who did not accumulate a great fortune. Let those who desire to live unburdened by the cares of wealth take warning. . < ■ Mr. Edgar Parker has about completed his portrait of the late VicePresident Wilson. It was about fourteen years ago last week that the artist, wounded at Gettysburg, was lying in a freight ear, hungry and thirsty, without attendance, awaiting transportation homewards, when he saw Henry Wilson go bv the train ou foot. Calling to him by name, Wilson went up and recognized Parker, He started off, and soon brought him water, crackers, and other comforts.
