ytjft&I—

TBiDemocracy of our State say in the opening'''sentence of their platform "that language is inadequate to express our abhorence and condemnation of the Radi« caj reconstruction policy of Congress." The leaders found the same difficulty in expressing tbeir "abhorrence" of the war which mustered, was fought to save the country and the soldiers who did it

THE President on Wednesday nominated to thp Senate the following citizens of our State: Benjamin C. Nixon, Postmaa^ertft Jeffef8pav,i)l?) Philip B. Fouko, of this city, Naval officer at New Orleans, Thomas Stillwell, Minister to Venezuela. The latter having been appointed during the recess, it is necessary to subnrifakhe appointment for confirm a* tion of the Senate.

The DemocraticState Convention An extended report of the State (Jdtt veitioQof the Democracy, held at Indian-, apolis on Wednesday, was published in out\lajO,sue. T&to report covered all the prod&lfiti *xoepl: tfte speeches of Messrs.

MCDONALD, HENDRICKS

a:id YOORHKBS

and the resolutions. Wo print the platform thiaf morning in another column, rfot Decause there is anything very pro« found or very new in it, but as a matter of ipftrofttion for ©urreidera. The long speeches of the occasion were all "cut and dried" and said to have been in print before delivery. They do not shed any particular lustre on thoir authors or give us any tew light on the politics of the day, but were simply the old story of the Democracy rehashed and served up in a different style. They appeared in full in the

Herald

of Indianapolis on the

morning after the Convention, and those who were sufficiently interested to read them at all have doubtless done so already. The appearance of the delegates was better than usual at Democratic. Conventions. The best talent of the Demo*, cratie party in the State was present.— There was an unmistakable lack of harmony among the materials which constituted the Convention. There was a strong effort made by the leaders to cover up their want of harmony by a display •of enthusiasm, and at times there was some considerable show of tho latter. It was evident that the Democratic leaders had laid all the ropes for running the Convention as soomthly as possible, but could not agree among themselves..— There were the outcropping* of an "Old Hunker" and a "Young Amer^ ica" element in the party which at times were visible, and on occasions nearly led to-open strife. The successful candidates all expressod thanks for the unmerited honor of nomination so unexpectedly eoaferred upon them in the usual style or^|5(^ntion clap trap, while the defeated ^olspwho had a short while before beelf^o amiable, broke out into sub dued curses on their luck and their pretended ffiends. Our own district furnish* edits full eh are of candidates, all of whom were slain in the hands of their friends.—

We do not sympathise with them. It is really a blessing for them to be defeated now as applicants for nomination rather than to make the race and be beaten by the people next fall, as we feel that the whole ticket will be. One fact was observable to lookers on, which was, that but small part of the persons composing the Convention had been in the war, while there were many present who had bitterly opposed it, and who were now among tfe^ shining lights of the Democracy. The ticket contains the names of two soldiers only. Soldiers stood but very poor show in the Convention, although they offered themselves freelj. As a whole, the ticket is not a strong one, and is no improvement on others which have been badly beaten iy the Republican pfurty heretofore.— Aside from Mr. HKNDRICKS,and probably

Mr. EDOKKTOH, there is but little canvassing ability on it, and standing on the platform made by the Convention, it will 4M defeated next fall as usual, we predict.

**tts

Indian* Democracy on Pendleton-

The fourteenth plank of the Democratic platform of our Stale is an endorse* ment of GEO. H.

P*WDL*TON

for the

Presidency. The "Young America" portion of the party was opposed to him and tried hard to avoid any recognition of him as a Presidential candidate. The endorsement is rather a slim one at best. It is a good deal like an effort to "damn with faint praise" the aspirations of the ambitious GEOBGB. He may take it aB a sweet morsel, but his friends were hardly satisfled, yet it was the best they could do, so they profess to be delighted. The real fight for PENDLETON in the Convention was made over the Chairman of the Stato Executive Committee. The choice of Mr. DEVELIN, of the Herald, was a triumph of the friends of PENDLETON, and exhibited tbeir strength in such a light as forced his opponents to compromise on the slim recognition which he got. The programme of the PendletoaieU was to carry his nomination rapidly through the Convention and make it a joint movement With the nomination made by Ohio on the same day. It failed signally, however and the feeble resolution tacked on to the tail of the platform was all that could be obtained for PENDLETON in Indiana. Judging from the last three resolutions it is hard to tell who of the three—A. J., Gen. HANCOCK or PENBLBTON. It leaves the Democracy of Indiana free choice to adopt either.

Johnson and Democracy. The endorsement of President JOHNSON by the Democracy and their rebel allies of every sort, in the State Conventions held this week is apiece of refreshing political impudence. The obstinate ANDREW •wears he is not a Democrat, and yet continually works with that party asserting that he will have nothing to do with it, and yet bestows his official pat* ronage upon it where he cannot find Republicans who have been mean enough to turn to JOHNSON men to accept it, and declares bis intention of still founding a simon pure Johnson party. Yet with all his political inconsistencies and avowed rebel sentiments the Democracy are ravishing him with notes of their admiration in the most honeyed phrases of their various State platforms. He will soon take rank as an unreconstructed Southern Democrat if the Democracy and rebels do not cease singing their praises in his ears. The JOHNSON plank of the late Democratic Conventions looks very much like a bid from all the desperate elements which make up that unprincipled party to get hold of the public patronage to aid it in defeating the Union party at the polls next fall. The game is too bold a one to win. The cunning leaders who are working the wires will find out soon that the people have discovered their trick.

Obio Democratic Convention. The Ohio Democratic Convention assembled at Columbus on Wednesday to nominate candidates for State offices. It was a more harmonious body in some respects, than the Indiana Convention. The following ticket was nominated: Secretary of State, THOMAS HTJBBABD, of Logan county Judge of the Supreme Court,

WILLIAM E. FINCK, of Perry county School Commissioner, J. KIEKWOOD Member of Board of Public Works, ARTHUR HUGHES Clerk of the Supreme Court, J. W. WEBB. The nominations were apparently all determined on before hand, and the Convention went through the motions of confirming merely the work of the party leaders. A sort of mixed Copperhead and democratic plat form was adopted, delegates were appointed to tho approaching National Convention, and electors for the districts and State at large, and a State Central Com» mittee were duly appointed, The most interesting feature of the Convention was the putting of PENDLETON squarely in the field as the choice of the Ohio Democracy for President, by the unanimous adoption of the following resolutions: "Resolved,

That the Hon. George H-

Pendleton is tho unanimous choice of the Democracy of Ohio, for the next President of the United States. "Resolved, That the delegates to the National Convention are hereby instructed to cast the vote of Ohio as a un it, to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of Mr. Pendleton for President. "Resolved,

That as the greeting of Ohio

to her sister States in the West and Northwest, to-day, in State Convention assembled, the President of the Convention be directed to forward by telegram, copies of these resolutions to the Conventions now in session at Indianapolis, Ind., Wheeling, West Virginia, and Nebraska City, Nebraska."

During the session of the Convention the Chairman read a despatch from In» dianapolis, announcing the endorsement of PENDLETON by the Indiana Convention! which was received with tremendous ap. plause. It seems, therefore, that PENDLETON and his friends are satisfied even with the "fishy" endorsement which the young Democracy of our State have given him. VALLANDISHAM and his friends seem to have been worsted in every fight they made in the Convention, and bis chances for the Senatorship are weakening. RANNET, JEWETT, WASH. M'LKAN, and their partisans, had it all their own way. The Convention was not of much interest outside of the nomination of PENDLETON, making of a fresh platform, and the crippling of VALLANDIQHAM. The Republicans of Ohio will attend to defeating the Democratic State ticket when the election comes about.

TERRE-HAUTE INDIANA, FRIDAY^MORNING

}ON6BBS8IONAl.

V' MI WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. SENATE. Mr. Williams, from the Committee on Finance, reported and rneved an indefinite postponement of a bill for the conversion of registered lands into coupon bonds motion agreed to.

On motion of Mr. Morton, the Senate took up his resolution to instruct the Judiciary Committee to report a bill to abrogate existing State government in the South, and provide provisional governments instead.

Mr. Frelinghuysen moved lo amend by referring the resolution to the Judiciary Committee, with authority to report such a bill.

Mr: Morton urged the necessity of such legislation i? view of Gen. Hancock's course, and other recent occurrences, occupying the attention of the Senate until the morning hour expired.

The special order, tbe-bill to prevent further contraction, pf the currency was taken up.

The question on the amendment that after the passage of this act the authority of the Secretary of t,he Treasury to cancel notes shall be suspended.

Mr. Sheruiun advoeated the bill as it would satisfy^the public mind that no further contraction would be made, and quiet apprehensions of many that it would restore to Congress power too important to be delegated to any single officer of the Government and place entire responsibility of tho management of the question in Congress where it properly belongs.

Mr. Morrill, of Vt., spoke of the recant rise in gold as caused by Congressional legislation on tho subject and contended tho passage of this resolution would bave a similar effect.

Mr. Corbett agreed with Mr. Morrill and moved indefinitely to postpone Lost

Mr. Fesscnden feared the effect of the bill, passed, it would practicably proclaim to the country that all designs to return lo specie payment were abandoned. The present disordered condition of financial affairs could only be remedied by time and a,firm adherence to a settled policy looking to resumption of specie payment.

Mr. Stewart continued, the distracted condition of thecountry was owing to the mismanagement of tho Secretary, and spokefbr some time against his policy,

Mr. Sprague corroborated a previous statement as to the amoent of contraction, and disclaimed all intention of censuring the Secretary for such contraction in obedience to law.

Mr. Sherman stated that $43,244,748 compound interest-notes will mature during the next six mon hs, and that when all compound interest cotes are paid, our currency will be reduced to about $550,000,000 not Jmnch greater than before the war."? Contraction should be stopped. Engluh history shows that times have arisen when contraction had to be suddenly exchanged for expansion such a crisis might occur with us, and without at all reflecting on the present Secretary. His discretionary powors should be removed, and the matter placed on a firm basis of legislation.

Mr. Hepderson fbllowed in advocacy of the bill. Mr. Morton favored the bill on tbe ground that more currency is required for the business of the country. He thought 1S71 would be time enough to resume specie payment gold and silver would then simply add to the volume of currency. He was opposed to any further contraction before that time.

Mr. Howe followed in a lengthy argument against contraction. It being evident no vote could be reached to-day, the Senate went Into Executive session, and soon after adjousned. W

HOUSE,

Mr. Eggleston offered a resolution,- reciting that by aij enactment of February, 1865, authorizing tbe construction of a bridge at Louisville, over the Ohio river, it was specially provided such bridge should be located above the Falls, should be constructed with at least throe draws, and should in no way interfere with the navigation of the river, and it was currently reported that tbo bridge now being constructed there was in fragrant viola tion of these provisions, and almost a sjrious obstruction to navigation, und resolving that the Soorotary of War ho instructed to cause an examination of the facts by a corps of government engineers. Referred to the Committee on Finance.

Mr. YVilson, of Iowa, introduced a bill for the protection, in certain cases, of persons making disclosures as defendants, or testifying as witnesses. Referred to ,the Judiciary Committee.

Mr. Omell introduced a bill to amend tho Bankruptcy Act. Referred lo the Judiciary Committee.

Tho House proceeded to the consideration of the joint resolution requesting the President to intercede with tho Quetfn of Great Britain *for the release of Father McMahan.

Mr. Paino introduced a similar joint resolution in reference to Robert Lynch, of Milwaukee.

Mr. Wood gave notice ot intention to introduce a joint resolution requesting the President to interpose his official authority to effect the immediate relons" of Cols. John Warner and W. J. Nagle, and any other American citizens arrested in Ireland, under habeas corpus acts, and now imprisoned without sufficient grounds to charge them with the comrair-sion of any offense against the laws of Groat Britain. After remarks by Messrs. Wood, .Shsnks, Brooks, Banks And Orth. the joint resolution was passed unanimously.

Mr. Puine's joint resolution in reference to Robert Lynch, of Milwaukee, also passed unanimously.

Mr. Wood then introduced a joint resolution, of which^ho had given notice, in reference to Cols. Warren and Nagle.

Mr. Bingham suggested the omission of tho words "interpose his official authority," and substitute tho words "ihHt the President be requested to intercede," &c.

Mr. Wood, also, at the suggestion of Air. Banks struck cut the word* "under the habeas corpus act as thus modified the joint resolution was passed unanimously.

The morning hour having expired Mr Schenck, from the Committee on Ways aud Means, reported a joint resolution to provide for a commission of five persons to be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to oxamine carefully all metere and mechanical contrivances or inventions thatonQr be presented, intended to measure, test and ascertain the productiveness of grain or other articles prepared for distillation, or actual quantity and strength of distilled spirits subject to tax produced therefrom, giving due notice of the time when, and place where such examination is to be conducted the com* mission to meet and proceed to the performance of duties under instructions of the Secretary of the Treasury at the earliest practicable day and report in detail to the Secretary to be communicated lo Congress the result of tbe examination with such recommendations as it may be deemed expedient on or before the 15lh of February next- Pending this action of the commispion and until its report is made, and a meter adopted by law, all work on the construction of meters under direction of the Treasury Department shall be suspended, arid in the meantime no further contract for meters shall be made by the Secretary of the Treasury. The resolution was debated at length by Messrs. Schenck, Logan, Kerr, Randall, Eldridge, Mungen and Van Wyck.
