Qfmsrratir FRIDAY, AUGUST 10. 1877.

The contraction policy ot the Radical party has caused more than fifty thousand failures, and the loss of more than a billion of dollars. The resumption act should be repealed, contraction cease, and John .Sherman A Co. indicted and convicted as accessories to ths Louisiana Returning Board infamy. Then will their power for mischief suddenly end. We are pleased to notice that our old friend and acquaintance Hon. C. A. Mayer, of Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, is a prominent candidate before the Democratic Convention of that Commonwealth for the Supreme Court Judgeship. Twenty-one years ago, we had control of The Clinton Democrat, published in said town and knew Charley as promising member of the bar, Aim and zealous in the Democratic faith. Since then he has filled (and for au’t we know still occupies) the Judicial bench in that district, with ditinction. We candidly believe the Democracy of our native State will do well to accept him as a candidate for the position for which he has been named.

RADICALISM AND LABOR.

Ths Cincinnati Enquirer thus presents the issues as they appear in the OMo canvass : “Just as the panic of 1873 flung the currency full in the faces of the voters of Ohio, so the recent strike, which has left its trail in blood and in the loss of millions, flings the labor question irresistably upon this great October State. It is really the Mime question in a different shape. Then the banks stopped. This time the Laborers stopped. Both stoppage■» earn be traced to the same cause,— They were also like in their effects, each calling a halt upon business. The corwiitions in 1877 are different to those in 1873. The panic of 1873 came after both parties had placed their tickets in the field and announced their platforms of principles. This strike fell upon the countryjbefore eithcr'politieal party in Ohio had held its convention, and each party has taken an attitude toward it and the question involved in it. It is, therefore, in issue from the beginning of (he canvass. We took occasion some days ago to point out the position the Demo-, <Tats of Ohio occupy in this matter. What is the attitude of the Republican party touching this great question? A peculiar responsibility is thrown upon that party in this ,business. The legislation of the country has been theirs for half a generation

of men. For all the conditions prece dent to this state of thing the Republican party is justly responsible. In a land on which Providence has ponied blessings with Divine generosity where there are men willing to work and able, energetic, executive men to employ, if there is a lack of prosperity it is the fault of the government. It can only be attributable to wicked legislation. It, therefore, specially behooves the Republican party to jight the wrongs it has done. Hundreds of thousands of laboring men in Ohio are pleading for relief,for better things. What does the Republican party offer them? Does it offer to undo the wickedness it has committed? Not at all. It ‘Sqeovs with alarm the disturbed condition of the country,” but does it desire to repeal the legistion that has brought it about? Not at all.

The Republicans say in their platform that they “most heartily sympathize with the condition of the honest and industrious laborers, who are willing to work, butremain unemploy< d;” but how do they show their sympathy ? Labor begs for bread, and the Republican party give it a stone. What is ‘.he sop thrown to Ceberus? What is the gift it wouldgive to labor? What is the remedy it would apply to the condition of affairs it laments? Labor lifts up its pleading hands and cries : “Permit a govenimei t policy that will make it possible for willing hands to earn bread.” And the Republican party answers: First, we will give you a “Bureau of Industry.” And the laboring man asks: “Whatgood will that Bureau of Industry do?” “Why, you can write to it,” says the leading exponent of this plank. “What good will that do?” is the next question. “You can suggest, something,” is the reply of an Ohio Senator. “And what then?” "Your

suggestion will go to Congress and receive consideration.” And the Ohio laborer lifts up his manly, intelligent voice and says: “Threehundred thousand men in Ohio, most of them laborers, have already suggested io Congress to repeal the Resumption Act, to give us back the old silver dollar, to save for us the greenback, to stop contraction, and you gentlemen who offer us this ‘Bureau of Industry’ need not this suggestion.” This, naturally, would end the controversy. This Bureau of Industry is a sham, a humbug, a cunning device to deceive the laboring man, and keep him still in the ranks of the Republican party. It would be powerless to act, and there is already a “Bureau of Industry” at Washington with power to act for the relief of labor. Men call it a Congress, and a part of the business of its members is to receive suggestions. Every voter in the land has a semi-acquaintance with two members of this board, a Senator and a member of the House, and is at liberty to address them. If the voters of Ohio are Intelligent they will not fall, down and worship this false god; they will not be cheated by this ridiculous device. The Republican party of Ohio pre - poses, secondly, for the relief o* box, to’constitute itself president and board of directors of all the railroads in the country. Merciful havings!

i Nut all the railroad officials in the ! United States have inflicted so much injury upon working men since our railroads were bui|t as Republican Congresses inflicted in six years. If, by the wrath wf God, there should be another Congress Republican in both brunches, the workingmen would regret having jumped from the fryingpan into the fire. Besides, that Con- ' gress has authority to run all the railroads in the country is a monstrous proposition. If it can do this, it can run all the blacksmiths’ shops and grocery stores. Quoting from the I Republican platform, how Can ConI gress “secure fair returns” to capital, when, by its financial policy, it mak< s fair returns impossible? How can Congress “secure fair wages to employes” when its legislation has made it impossible to pay “fair wages?”— How can Congress stalk into a rail- ' road office and “prevent mismanage- ■ merit” and “improper discriminations” ! any more than it can walk into a dry ' goods store on the same errand?— j Congress has as good a right to enter the family circle and “prevent mismanagement” and “improper discriminations.” The third measure of relief which the Ohio Republicans offer to the laj boring men is that Congress should i constitute itself a supreme Board cf Arbitration to settle all differences of opinion between the employers and the employed in the United States, or should appoint other boards of inferior jurisdiction. “Statutory arbitration” is the phrase used in the platform We have to say concerning this that when Congress steps in uninvited to arbitrate between the employers and the employed in this country the underpinning will be taken away trim I Congress. It will be more dangerous ■ than for Smith to volunteer to settle . a quarrel between Jones and his wife. I And this is ull the relief, or hope, or | promise of relief which the Republican party in Ohio offer® to the workingmen. It is the active capital of She country—not the capital of the mau who sits and lends, and who could not suffer under any policy—wedded to its labor, that makes the business and the prosperity of the land. Together they hum, and hammer, and plow, and delve, and sell. Together they touch wildernesses and make them cities. Together th y should walk hand in hand. Together they would walk hand in hand but for the legislation of the Republican party which has been dictated by the man who sits and ia »its and lends and lends, and which has been such as to oppress them both. The Democratic party of this State goes before the people asking for legislation which will lift the burdens from them both, and which will permit both willing labor and active capital to recive their just reward.

STOP!

Such ill-omened despatches as these from Washington have been finding more or less of favor lately: It is regarded in high circles here that one of the effects of this outbreak will be to beget a much stronger public sentiment than ha . heretofore been apparent for an enlargement of the powers of the federal government to repress domestic violence. Some of the strongest advocates of the doctrine of State sovereignty have expressed this opinion to-day. It is claimed that had there been two hundred regular United States troops in Baltimore, commanded by cool and experienced officers, and with authority to act, in all probability there wo d have been no disturbance whatever in that city that, could not have been promptly nipped in the bud. Eyewitnesses of the horrid proceedings at Pittsburgh unhesitatingly say that five hundred regular troops could and would have saved the.name and fame of that ci y from the blot which now rests upon it. The scenes which we have witness cd are new in our experience, but we cannot blind ourselves now to the evidence that they may occur again, and on a f reater and more dangerous scale, if every precaution is not taken to render them impossible. Even the most extreme advocates of States’ t ights, it is hel 1, will admit that if we are to have any States at all it may be wise to concede something on this point.

These, succeeded by others, represent our aliunde administration as favoring an increase of the standing army. We say, STOP, right there. Wherever or whoever the “high, circles” are, it is evident that their education has been neglected. The less we have to do with ' standing armies” the better. We are not living under, either a “paternal,” or a despotic, or a more or less milder form of a “limited” monarchial style of government. We live where the citizen is the peer of the President, and the President but an Executive officer.

That it is a good kind of government has been fully demonstiated. That it has proved equal to the severest strains nobody, except an idiot, will dispute. Our internal discords have all been quieted—our National supremacy maintained, and against a more formidable assault upon its integrity than that of any other in his. tory. and by its volunteer Militia! Is that not tiue? And true, despite the schemings of the most adroit knaves who ever found a held to deploy their ambition by prott acting a war for plunder.—Lewistown (Pa.) DemocratU Sentinel.

Why did they strike ? Because of a reduction of wages. Why the reduction? Because of the falling off of freight business and the reduction of revenues? Why the falling off of business and diminishing of revenues? Closing of factories and cessation of productive industries. . Why the cessation of productive industries? Withdrawal of capital from industrial enterprises. Why the withdrawal of capital? The timidity of capitalists; the general doubt and uncertainty about the government’s policy with regard to the resumption it always, threatens and always prevents. \ Why this governmental vacillation ? To permit the “rings” that regulate the govemuieiital policy to make 50 per ©not. out of the fluctuations and eon traction. — Nashville American.

News for Medical Students.

As medical readers have, on differ ent occasions, been informed of the Beneficiary Scholarships created by the Trustees of the Louisville Medical College, Louisville, Ky., they may be under the impression that these Scholarships are still to be obtained as usual. The College mentioned is now a member of the Association of American Medical Colleges (organized at Chicago, HL, June, 1877,) and this Association has limited Beneficiary Scholarships to five per cent, of the class. There is much of great interest to every medical student in the regulations established by the American Medical College Association, and it will be important to every student to read these carefully.— These regulations can be obtained by writing to the Dean of the Louisville Medical College, Louisville, Ky. These are facts of interest, and are therefore given to our medical readers.

Making a President by Fraud.

SENSIBLE VIEWS Of A REPUBLICAN JOURNAL. Elmira (N. Y.) Advertiser. It seems the indictment of the Louisiana Returning Board relates entirely to the electoral vote, and that Stanley Matthews and John Sherman are to be brought in as accessories. This appears to change the look oj the matter, and It becomes less easy for the people at Washington to assume indifference as to results or consequences. If it be really true that Madison Wells and his fellow members of the Beturning Board are guilty of the offences charge i, and on account of which they are indicted, we cannot see why it is not equally true that Matthews and Sherman are accessories. Certain it is they were present all through the sessions of the board, and had access to all the papers and documents, knew all the facts, advised and recommended all the action. If it be said that Madison Wells had a motive, much more had Matthews and Sherman. These latter gentlemen knew their ground, and knew that high office and great power depended on their success. They were not playing for any doubtful or uncertain stake. They understood the situation. They held the cards in their own hands, and what aces and bowers were not quietly kept up their sleeves were shuffled at pleasure to whom they pleased.

Mj. Finley Sharp, a young man living near this place, and who has been attending school here, is the inventor of a very neat microscope, which has thecapaeity of magnifying 4094 times. It is in possession of Dr. Cowger. A careful inspection of a drop of water under the lense of this ingenious apparatus, would almost persuade a fellow to take thi yellow ribbon and abstain from water drinking. A careful scrutiny of a clear drop of water reveals nnmerous turtles, flies, worms and bugs, and all uupear to be as lively and festive as Kansas grasshoppers. A collar box furnishes the bottom of the microscope, the upper part being made of different colored strips of pasteboard. The instrument is very ingeniously corstructed, and gives evidence that Mr. Sharp has paid considerable attention to the study of philosophy, and has a desire to advance in the study of natural history.- -Monticello Democrat.

The radical treasurer of Howard county, lowa, lately disappeared, and left the combination safe, which sho’d have contained $20,000, locked beyond the power of any one to open it. The Supervisors thought that perhaps he might not be a defaulter, and so gave him a few days’ start; then, when they were going to break open the safe and give a deadly finish to conjecture, the maker - the safe wasn’t paid for—interfered and wouldn’t let them open it till they had forked over $1,300. It took them several days to make up their minds to do this. Then they broke the safe open and—found $65.38 in cash. They are now in cold pursuit of the fugitive, who is some thousands of miles beyond their reach. Lowville, New York, has just experienced an exciting social sensation. Cyrus C. Haskins, twice a widower, fell in love with Mrs. Brooks, twice a widow, so desperately that she had sufficient control over his mind to induce him to marry Mrs. Lizzie Spaulding, once a widow, to whom she sold all interest in him in consideration of a S4OO house and lot. Having effected the marriage, Mrs Brooks was sued by Mrs. Spaulding’s sister for the property, and for erecting a head upon Mrs. Spaulding’s sister was sent to jail. These are nearly all the complications up to the time of going to press.

The Lick telescope is to be a big thing on eyes. It will have a larger refractor than anything in existence, the cost being set down at $150,000. There will he a subsidiary refractor four feet in diameter, with silver-on-glass and speculum metal mirrors, costing $20,000. Tell, of Paris, has offered to make crown and flint-glass discs for the object-glass of a fortyinch refractor for $20,000, two years being allowed for the work, after which it will take three years for the optician to perfect the glass. Chief Justice Agnew, Rev. Dr. M’Kinney and Charles Townsend, of Pennsylvania, were arrested at Beaver, in that State, for violation of the game laws in shooting pheasants on the 4th of July. It seems that the country justice knew more about the game laws than the head of the Su • preme Court, as tie latter said he wasn’t aware there was any law limiting the time for shooting pheasants. The defendants plead guilty and paid their fines. There is a charge against Gen. Scott for contingent expenses amounting to $1,129, which has been on the books of the Government since 1816. The Secretary of War has just been advised by the Auditor that it might do no harm to cancel the item, seeing that the General is dead, and never was morally responsible for it anyhow. The loss by strike and obstruction to business for five days on the five truck lines of railway, including destruction of property of the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads, is estimated at 26J millions of dollars.
