The republican newspapers are now busily engaged in apologizing for Sherman, for the coarse he panned in the Louisiana outrage. The admission is now made by the conspirators that the certificates upon which the electoral commission bs$ed its action were forgeries, and as a consequence, Hayes’ title rests upon crimes confessed. .

Stanley Matthews has not added to his reputation as the chief engineer of the Hayes administration, and some of the organs of the party are dispose^ \io give him a downward kick, and . among these may be noted the Indianapolis Journal. Hon. Stanley Matthews, United States senator from Ohio, has declined •% to comply with the request of the Potter investigating committee to testify as a witness, claiming that his official position as a senator exempts him from liability to be commanded by * the home or a committee thereof, The Indiana Nationals denounce the Bepnblieans for their infamous apportionment, and falsely charge that the Democratic party in the past has made equally unjust apportionments In cUsoussing this assertion the Bichjnond Free Pres* Well says: "This charge against the DemocratOk party is not true, and we ask any. National greenbacker to point out any apportionment ma^p by the Democratic party that was unfair or that deprived any party of its just proportion of representation in congress and the legislature, the Democrats apportioned this State several times for congressional and legislative purposes, hot they always did It fairly and there was no seeh thing as gerrymandering , known until the Republicans obtained ooutroie of the legislature.

The Democrat baa nothing but good will for all people, irrespective of party creed; or conditions,and wishes them all loiig lives, prosperity, and: an abundance of happiness, but we express the hope tha t we may he able, in the coming campaign, to persuade everybody that it will be to their adV vantage, financially and otherwise, to vote the Democratic ticket, change lhe political complexion of the government, and restore prosperity within our borders once mere. This can only be done, la our opinion, by so changing misting laws so will compel the rich mouied men of the nation to bear their jnst and equal share of taxation with >he farmer, the mechanic and the day laborer', is there any good reason why the tiller of the soil, the mechan ic and day laborers should pay ali the taxes required to support the government, while thgjbondholders should go scot 1'reiJrThe Democrat confesses it can see no justice in this unwise discrimination in favor of capital aa apainst labor., The pan in rich bruadh loth and kid gloves, even if he has the £ old coupon bonds to hold him up in i dleness, should be made to pay taxes iii proportion to his wealth, as well as to require the bronzed face and horny hands of labor to pay all the taxes. Do yon not think, neigh* bors, that ai l citizens should pay taxes equally according to what they possess of this world’s goods? Equal and exact, ustice and exclusive privileges to none is the Democratic theory of government, and the Democrat believ es that to bo right. Then, neighbors c f all parties, please think of these th ings, and when yon are called upor to cast your ballots do it with a view to right the great wrong that now shields the rich bondholders from the psiyment of their jnst share of taxes.

Pktebsoi’s Magasjne for July comes to uh brighter and fresher than ever. The principal steel-plate, “In Arcadia,” in heantiful beyond words. The double sized fashion plate, containing fire figures, elegantly engraved on steel, anil exquisitely colored, is a very gem ifci its way. There is also f* design for the new-stylo window curtain, printed in colors; and abont fifty wood engravings of fashions, patterns in embroidery, &c., &c. “Peterson’’ still continues to hold its prond and eminent position, for powerfully written original stories. Among the contributors in the present number are. Mrs. Ann 8. Stephens, Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, Rebecca Harding Davis, Frai k Lee Benedict, and others of similar first-rate rank. Ho lady’s book, in fact, has such writers. In every way it is indispensable in a household. No family should be without it, and us the p rice is but two dol. lars a year, pos tage free, it is within the means of every one. The publisher claims that it is “the cheapest and best.” Specimens sent, gratis, to those wishing to get up clubs. Address, ChaaJ. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pl “believed to be the purest statesman in New England, recently said to a reporter of the Boston Herald: I must admit that I cannot understand the Obstinate manner in which the Republi can members of congress are endeavoring to delay the investigation proposed by the Democratic members in reference to the official count in Louisiana and Florida on the occasion of the late Presidental election. Their present line of conduct sttikes me as a confession of goilt on their part. If I were La Congress at the present time, and a member of the Republican party, I would most undoubtedly assist in the unearthing of any fraud that might be charged* against members of the party. If there are any Republicans who have been guilty of complicity in the frauds that were certainly committed in order to seat Mr. Hayes in the Presidential chair, theii conduct should be investigated, add if they are proven guilty then they should be expelled from the party. Th is idea of trying to screen Mr. Hayes and those of his fon modiate friends who have been charged with the commission of fraud will only injure the great mass of Republicans, whilci it will prove beneficial to only a few of the suspected ones.

Professor Riley estimates that the annualloss .o agriculture iu the United States from insects is 1150,000,000. He has no thing to say, however , of the awful waste of human flesh and blood from these preying pests; nor of the page upon page of oaths that are recorded against suffering men because ofthii merciless mosquito; nor of the woild of agony that has been heaped up in womankind because of the pitiless flea. What shall millions of sordid gold weigh in the balances against such an array of bodily pain? Oregon Wheels into Line. The recen t election in Oregon is favorable to the Democrats. They carried a majority of the Legislature, which insures the election of a Democratic United States Senator in place of the extreme radical, Mitchell. They also elect the Representative in Congress. One by one, the Republican roses vrither and fall. Flrsl i District Convention. Evansville, Ind., June 12.—The congressional convention at Boonville to-day wai largely attended. The Hon. Thomas E. Garvin was nominated on tho first ballot. The Hon. William F. Parrot was nominated for circuit judge, and Jdtm Brownlee for circuit prosecutor. In the senatorial district comprising Posey and Gibson, the Hon. <r, V. Merixies, of Posey received the nomination3 All of these candidates are exceptionally strong. The majori ty for Garvin for congress will not be less than 2,500, and with him and J. G. Shankliia both on.the general ticket, two representatives from Vaiulerbnrg may be safely counted oi. “If cong ress or the public conld be insensible of, or indifferent to, the evils of finnanlenl elections, it would not argue M oll for their patriotism, nor would It angnr well for the permanency of oar nationality ."—[Republican Party in 1869.

SolidifTiug and Harmonizing the Radical Party, ^Indianapolis Sentinel.} For some time past the country has been informed that the; Democratic party had eui&ged iu doing fifst those things necessary to “solidify and harmonise” the radical thief party of Jntry. Such declarations are cat to admisaious that the thief party had become divided, iirat, and generally torn to fragthat reunion within the party possible, and that dfegraee and were inevitable. Reduced to plorable straits, possessing no idifying or harmonising power, of wrangling, discordant, selfg, crime plotting elements— me readers of the piratical gang—men urith perjuries in their throats and forgeries ia their hands, professed to he overwhelmed with joy when Montgomery Blair made a wrereign state, one of the “old thirteen,” pot forth her sovereign hand and loach Bayes, and by teaching him awaken a profound solicitude throughout the land to knew how he obtained office when the American people, by a majority of more than a quarter of a minion, declared for another man. The chief men of the radical thief party thought they coaid see in this movements solidifying and harmonising ingredient that would bring koneet republicans into the a&ec(innate embrace of forgers, perjurers and crime-stained scoundrels of high and low degree, and once more pot the radical thief party on its pegs. When McLiD, not entirely given over to the devil, feeling the tortures of the damned, with remorse eating into his soul like fire, made his confession showing how the leaders of the radical thief party stole the vote of Florida, then again radical conspirators and the organs of the radical thief party declared that the movement was engineered by the democratic party, and would aid materially in solidifying and harmonizing their organization. When the Potter committee was appointed a howl about Hayes’ title was set up from the

center to the circumference of the land, and the solidifying and harmonizing process by which radicalism was to obtain a new lease of power was regarded fairly under way, and radical conspirators and knaves werejubilant. To help the matter on we had from day to day harangues about “revolution,’' “Mexicanizing" the government, “business depression,” 'hnd “civil war," all of which were gotten up to help bring order out of radical chaos, obscure radical crimes, whitewash radical villains and harmonize the radical thief party. The Potter investigation goes on, radical scoundrels are exposed, their frauds their forgeries and their perjuries are classified and set in order before the conn-tryf-fiew leads are discovered, and the investfe*«Ulg_2ightning is striking am army of miscreants MtjBSto unknown. And these are tbs l, force* that radical leaders expect win* solidify and harmonise their party. The nrauusition is a offeu noper count , , ^ minds of the most abandoned and i piraved. Indeed, it is assuming that the government of this country shall be hereafter conducted upon a policy which without any stretch of the imagination may be supposed to regulate the affairs of the devil’s dominions. It is hardly snpposable, however, that the cloven-footed autocrat of perdition wonld recognize a fraudulent title to any place within his realm, though the crime of- obtaining such a title here would be likely to be rewarded with as comfortable a situation by the arch"fiend as Hayes conferred npon Anderson. It might be possible to solidify and harmonize the Inhabitants of the infernal regions npon such crimes as radical , conspirators committed in Louisiana and Florida, but the time for solidifying and harmoniziug even the radical party upon such a basis in this country has passed away forever. Stanley Matthews and John Sherman may rally to their support men equally destitute ot integrity, men as willing to bargain for forgery and perjury but the fragments of the radical party will not solidify and harmonize on fraud any more. Stanley Matthews and. John Sherman stand as warnings against solidifying and harmonizing. Hayes, who has rewarded with office every crime-stained scoundrel who helped to adjust the machinery of firand by which he was lifted into office, will not help to consolidate and harmonize the radical party. The Potter investigating committee has reduced the radical party to a pulp that no art can change to Bolidity. Under such circumstances the radical thief party had better be looking around for some means other than the record of its crimes to bring about hardness and harmony in its ranks.

In Historical Fact. Every agent who:has been steadly Belling the Improved ?20 Homestead Ijock Stitch Sewing Machine for three years, owns his dwelling house, has a good account in bank, is clear of debt, and has money at interest,—the natural consequence of securing a good agency for superior goods at the lowest prices. A good first-class Sewing Machine, most useful—reliable at all l imes, easy to understand and control, the same size and does the same work as any machines that sell atrous times, the price. There is no machine at any price better, or that will do finer or more work and certainly none so low in price by many dollars. The Homestead, is widely known and nsed in thousands of families in the Eastern and Middle States, and daily becoming ^topular in the West, It will save its cost several times bver in one season, doing the work of the family, or will earn four or five dollars a day for any man or woman who sews for a living. It is the strongest machine made, is ready at all times to do its work, makes the strongest and fiffest stitch yet invented, and is folly acknowledged as the Standard Family Sewing Machine.

How to Win Him. “Eliza,” said a foud mother to her offspring recently, as that^offspring was about goiug forth in tow of a young man who worships the very sidewalk she walks upou, “go to the bread-bos and eat a good big ernst of bread before you go out.” W by, ma,” replied the blushing girl. “I don’t feel the least bit hungry: We have only just had tea:” “I know It, bat you will be hungry before you get back; and when Adolphus takes you into a restaurant you’ll eat ice cream and sponge eake, and bam sandwiches sad Oysters enough to scare' him out of a year’s growth. You silty girls don’t think of this, but we experienced women do. I was once yonng and giddy myself, and bat for sixty-five cents’ worth of maccaroons—a dike for which I have ever since entertained the most profound contempt—your pa could have beets n Congressman, with an a^nilhse nose and Hyperion's curls. Beware how you sit down on Ibe bodding ffawe of Cupid. Of coarse Adolphus will spend the money you save

turn on DUMUKt8 and things, lint that makes no difference. When-he ads you to go in and hare Borne oysters, even if yon are hungry, dan\ Say yen do not approve of girls treating the money of their future husbands when it might be applied towards fur* nishing a house. Point out t&at for the price of an oyster stew you might purchase a couple of towels, noiTtBat toweling is so cheap, and thnMrnddlerock roast is the equivalent of a oil. rer fork—plated, of course, but not easily distinguished from solid silver —or a glass sugar bowl. This alwatyetakes the young men; lt.sets them to thinking of housekeeping' and matrimony i It makes them believe yon are the incarnation of economy, and so they often say things which give you, a hold over them, and are effective be fore a jury.” Eliza treasured up these sagacious counsels, and acted upon them with such earnestness and effete that when she came home she was an engaged woman. <■'. Democratic State Platform. The Democracy ot the State of Indiana assembled in delegate con vention declare:. That national bank notes shjdl be retired, and in lien thereof there shall be issued by the government up,equal amount of treasury note with full legal tender quality, . ! " That we are in favor of making the United States notes, commonl y called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payj ment of all debts, public and private, I except such obligations only as are, by the terms of the original contracts under which they were issued, expressly payable iu 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. . i. • We are iu favor of such legislation by Congress as will authorize the taxation by the States of the United States notes iu common with all other money. Thet we deem it unwise and inexbelieve the true policy of the government and the best interests of the people would be subserved by legislating so as to distribute said debt among our people at home—affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the ju vestment of their savings in the fuuded debt of the United States. That we are in favor of suck legislation which shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per ceutnm per annum.

We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 412)4 groins, to the coin of the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both public and.private; and that the coinage thereof shall be onlimited, and upon the same tertriBaud conditions as may be provided for the coinage of gold. That we are in favor of the immediate *&nd unconditional repeal of the resumption act. We are in favor of the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that the fees and 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 fqtfure public order and security we believe the wages of corporations engaged in the business of miuing, manufacturing and' transportation should be a first lien upon the property, receipts and earnings of said corporations, and that such lien should be declared, defined and enforced by appropriate legislation. That we favor the passage of a law lor the ventilation of coal mines—-one that would be just to the miner and owner. The Democratic party is the friend of the common school system, and will in everyjegitimate way labor for its success, and will oppose any attempt to divide any portion of the common school fnnd to any ieclujpi That tho last apportionment of the State for legislative purposes was grossly nnjust and dishonorable, and we demand that the next Legislature, id apportioning the State for legislative purposes, as will be there imperative duty, shall have regard alone to population and contiguity of territory. That the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by tho Circuit Courts of the United States over questions of corporate and individual rights arising under the laws of the States tends to oppress and burden litigants to snch an extent as to amount to a pr&cticial denial of justice in many cases ; and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hurtfnl to the true interests of the people. And wo demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of snch courts to such matters as are clearly contemplated bv the Constituton and expressed in the judiciary sot of 1789. We are opposed to class legislation, and protest against the gran t of anbsidles by the Federal Government, either in lands, bondw monav, or by the pledge of the public credit. That we adhoreand hold np to public dote station the leaders in the Republican party who secretly connived, and with barefaced effrontery carried ont tho scheme, by and through venial returning boards, whereby Samnel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendrick* the people's choioe for President and Vice-President, were wrongfully kopt ont of the positions to which a free people had called them. We hold it np as the monster crime of the age, a crime against free government, a crime against the elective purpose.

T 'franchise, and a crime that cart' only be condoned wheu the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential chair are dtiven from power and'consigned to everlasting infamy by\tl*e people whom they hare, outraged*And we denounce the act of the President of the Utiited States in appointing to high amMlucrative positions the corrupt members of the returning boards, and condemn the acts of Federal ofScers in attempting to interfere with the rights and pow<e> of.-the State courts in the prosecution cf these criminals. That Oar Senators and Representatives in Congress be and are hereby requested to secure the p&ssage of a law giviiag to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 1812.
