1y Convention.

The Democracy of Barkley township are requested to meet at the nsu id place of holding elections in said township, on Saturday, June&th, 1878, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Democratic County Con vention to be held at Rensselaer, June '.'2d, 1878. It was not Hayes that Hale, Conger <’t al sought to protect in their opposition to investigation of the electoral frauds, but Noyes, Sherman, Garfield, Stoughton and othor “visiting statesmen.”

The Indianapolis Herald, a political anomaly, being u-Republican p p. r with honest opinions, says of the coming State election: No Republican with an ounce of brains believes we can carry the State unless the Democracy should some outrageous blunder that would enable us to carry it by a scratch. Some of the radical journals argue that iu case Mr. Hayes should be required to vacate as a result of the investigation now in progress Mr Wheeler would become President.— Wo are of opinion that the same frauds which elevated Hayes did the same for Who ler, and the retirement or one would b ■ the retirement of the other. Must II iVE \ Btjgaboo. Cameron's Harrisburg (Pa.) Telegraph insists that“An anti-southern claims plank will become necessary to the completeness aud strength of every republican platform built this yeur.”— Pro. James, dye hear? But then you’ve got the start of the old Winebago chief uu that proposition. And it is amusing to observe the self-sntis-rfed grin that mantles and lights up the usually dark grave face of the consul when he sees the gullibility of a few of hfs readers. The Republicans iu the United States Senate recently voted to require a tax qualification for voters in the District of Columbia. Aud they would have the same principle in operation in every State in the Union if they had the power to so shape it. Ibeir legislation has all been in the interest of the money sharks and the laud proprietors. The toiling masses will do well to remember this act aud so vote as tit forever keep it out of the power of these men to inaugurate such a system.

Mr. Hendricks’ Views.

In a recent interview upon the moposed investigation into the Presidential frauds, Vice President Hendricks expressed himself substantially as follows: He did notthiuk the situation changed by the passage of the Potter resolution beyond the fact that uu investigation would bring the election frauds in Florida and Louisiana before the people in their true light. He regui ded the address ot the Republican committee in the light of a campaign document, designed and issued to break the force of the impending r vclations of elective rascalities. He could not consider the resolution iu question iu the light of a prelude to revoluti miry measures for unseating Hayes and placing Tilden iu ihe Presidential chair, and must perforc believe it was what it purported to b>, simply au order for a searching investigation into what the country was led to think colossal frauds. Reeei.t confessions having implicated prominent government officials in the perpetration of high crimes, and he. in eomtnou with every citizen, would

watch wi h interest development of an investigftMnn into their true ex.eut, Mr. Hei dr ks said in the course of the interview I think that when Congress ado] ted the report of the electoral commission thntwos it final set* tlcut nt. It was hot the commission but Congress that gaveMf. Hayes the Presidcm y« lam opposed to exciting stiife and dissension by reopen ug that question. I want it Under--tood that I know nothing of aDy p’ads Mr. Tildeu may have had.” The consul and “our Simon” are very nervous and excited over the proposed investigation of the fiauds in Louisiana and Florida. Keepcool, “my boys, ** thero will p e no revolu tion. The supremacy and legislation of your party has very nearly senttl e country to the d—l, and the Democracy propose, and will restore it to its proper sphere, even though it should require the imprisonment of thetn tire crowd of Shermans, Garflelds, Chandlers, and “visiting statesmen.” The rads seem very determined in their notion that the investigation ordered by Congress has in view the un seating of Hayes. Mr, Potter, the author of the resolution of inquiry, aud chairman of the investigating committee, in a letter says: “An inquiry into the frauds accomplished and which changed the electoral vote is proper to prevent repetition.” So that is all there is of it. Radicals can contain their souls in peace. They are not sincere in their expression of fear aud cry of “revolution.” It is sounded simply in lieu of the “bloody-shirt,” which has ceased to be of profit to them.

The following is the full text of tile bill to forbid the further retirement of United Statts legal tender nut's: B'.- it enacted, etc., that from and alter the passage of this act it shall uoi be luwfUi lor the secretary of the treasury or oilier officer under him to cancel or retire any more of the United States legal tender notes, aud when any of said notes may be redeemed or be received into the treasury under any law from any source whatever, and shall belong to the United State?, they shall not be retired,, cancelled or destroyed, but they shall be reissued and paid out again and kept in circulation: Provided, That nothing herein shall prohibit the cancellation and dstruetion of mutilated notes and the issue of others of like denomination in their stead, as new provided. AH acts or parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed. The above passed the Senate on the 28th—yeas 41; nays 18.

Mr. L'wiggins iuforms us that he filed opinions against the claims of Messrs. Heukle, Platt and Boroughs on the ground that they were barred by act of limitiou; and in the case of Mr. Janes he had been employed prior to his appointment as county at toruey and considered his first duty was to Mr. J. The commissioners allowed the claims of H P. & B. on the principle that it would not be honorable in a county to take advantage o f the limitation act. We meant no reflection on Mi. D„ but simply attempted to point out to the consul the partus most likt ly do suffer from his reckless mud-throwing proclivities, however innocent of any wrong doing they miuht be.

A 8200.000,000 Steal.

[Baltimore Gazette.) Senator Davis, of West Virginia, recently arose in the senate anti declared upon his own personal responsibi.i.y a teadiness to prove that “the public debt statement had been altered to the extent or $200,000,000 or mo. e “ This is not a loose aud reckless statement. Senator Davis has been a member of the select commit ue to investigate the books aud accounts of the treasury department, aud he thus speaks from accurate though perhaps not complete- information. He made this statement as a preliminary to n request for permission for his committee to sit during the recess to continue the examinations. Senator Davis is known to he a man of great caution and earnestness. Ilia judgment is sound, his in dustry and force of will are recognized. He is u bank officer and trained in examination of accounts and books. He never would have stated in the senate on his own personal responsibility the startling fact that the people of this country had been swindled out< f $200,000,000 and the frauds concealed by forced balances and false entries on the treasury books unless he lmd positive proof ol the truth of his words. Andyet this solemn accusation that crjminates the present aud the past administrations created no stir, no excitement. The resolution for a further time to examine the books was quietly “laid aside." The republicans still have a majority iu the senate. Secure in this John Sheriiiau does not rush forward to “take the aggressive" nor to demadd to be beard by counsel. He doesn’t desiie to bo heard at all on the subject. This inquiry is, to our mind, of momentous import, second hardly to the electoral frauds. The tax payers of the country have a right to know what set of men got this enormous sum of mouey, aud what was done with it; who grew immensely rich in office, and who left a le acy of $200,000,000 of debt, or sl2,ooo,oooper jear of iuterest upon the shoulders of the people.

An 11 year old girl was attacked by a game cock at Nelson Furnace. Ky.. recently, its spur penetrating the brain. An Irishman who stood near the third base watching a game of base ball was sent to grass by a foul which struck him under the fifth rib. “A fowl was ut? Begorra I thought it waz a mule.” Business is reviving in Valparaiso, according to the Messenger, which says: “On last Friday afternoon we noticed 49 able bodied men standing with their hands in their pockets and their mouths and eyes wide open, watching six men laying brick in the basement of the Sayler building. “You are aware,” said the poetic Rogers to an Ohio congressman who celled at the white house to express his sympathy for Hayes “that profan ity in any disguise is something that 1 he president abhors, but when I hear this fraud investigation characterized as a “damned barren ideality,” I do not call it swearing.”

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of the state of In diana assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, and in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the govern men t an equal amount of treasury notes with full legal tender quality. That we are in favor of making the United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except such obligations only a 3 are by the terms of the original contracts under which they were issued, exoressly payable in coin. That the right to issue paper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of the government, and such money should be issued in such amounts as the sound business interests of the country may from time to time require. We are in favor or such legislation by congress as will authorize the taxation by the states of the United States notes in common with all other money. That we deem it unwise and inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of the national debt abroad, through the means of home syndicates, or other methods; and we believe the true policy of the government and the best interest of the people would be subserved by legislation so as to distribute said debt among our people at home—affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of their savings in the funded debt of the United States.

That we are in favor of such legislation as shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 412* grains, to the coin of the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both public and pri yate; and that the coinage thereof shall be unlimited, and upon the same terms and conditions as may be provided for the coinage of gold. That we are iu favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption act. We are iu favor of the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that the fees und salaries of all public officers should be reduced. That we are in favor of the repeal of the bankrupt act. That we sincerely deplore the recent violent collision between labor and capital, and to prevent the recurrence thereof and to protect the future public order and security we believe that the wages of corporations engaged in the business of mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lieu upon the property 7 , receipts and earnings of said corporations, and that such lien sho’d be declared, defined enforced by appropriate legislation, That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that would be just to R e miner and owner. The democratic party is the friend of the eomrnon school system, and will in every legitimate way labor for its success, and will oppose any attempt to divert any portion of the common school fund to any sectarian purpose. That the last apportionment of the state for legislative purposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, snd we demand that the next legislature, In apportioning the state for legislative purposes, as will be their imperative duty, shall have regard alone to population and contiguity of territory.

That the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit courts of the United States over questions of corporate and individual rights arisiug under the laws of the states tends to oppress and burden litigants to such an extent as to amount to a practical denial of justice in many cases; and we consider the legislation wtiich has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise aud hurtful to the true interests of the people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly contemplated by the constitution and expressed in the judiciary act of 1789. We are opposed to class legislation, and protest agaiust the grant of subsidies bj’ the federal government,either in lands, bonds, money or by the pledge of the public credit. Thai we abhor and hold up to public detestation the leaders in the republican party who secretly connived, and with barefaeed effrontery, carried out the scheme, by and through venal returning boards, whereby Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks, the people’s choice for president aud vice president, were wrongfully kept out of the positions to which a free, peo pie had called them. We hold it up as the monster crime of the age, a crime against, free government a crime against the elective franchise, and a crime that can only be condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential chair are driven from power and consigned to everlasting infamy by the people whom they have ontraged. Aud we denounce the act of the president, of the United States in appointing to high and lucrative positions the corrupt members of the returning boards, and condemn the acts ot federal officers in attempting to interfere with the rights and powers of the state courts iu the prosecution of these criminals. That our senators and representatives in congress be and are hereby requested to secure the passage of a law giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 1812.
