The I' T'.i.K n a I Impeachment trial commences to-day. lidth houses of Congress celebrated the Fourth in Philadelphia. I5oth of the candidates for President were at Philadelphia on the -1th. Katiiioation meetings have been numerous throughout the Union the past few days. The celebration in Cincinnati on the Fourth, was the grandest in the in emory of man. Phixck Milan, of Scrvla, has entered Turkey, and hostilities may be said have opened. Colorado has adopted a Constitution mid will soon knock at the doors of Congress for admission. Speaker Kei:k is pronounced better by his physicians, but he himself has little hope of recovery. MmtKir.L has at last consented to sacrifice himself for his country, and has accepted the Treasury ship. Caul Sciintx is on the fence. Tie cannot yet tell which of the two tickets in the field he will support. An inhuman wretch named Ci'Mmi::s violated the person of a seven year c.!4 girl in Cincinnati on .Sunday. A train on the Illinois Central road jumped from the track on Monday near Springfield and was totally wrecked. The Republican majority in the Senate will have to yield the demands, of House, if it wishes the appropriation bills passed. The whole South is enthusiastic over the nominations. They say they will now be delivered from tho rule i.f the carpet badgers. Scrvia has declined to accept the ultimatum of Turkey, and the clash of arms may therefore soon be heard in that country. It has the appearance now that the House will adjourn by the end of this month. The Senate will have to go through the Impeachment trial. The health of Mr. Blaine is improving slowly, but it is doubtful -whether he will again take his seat in the House the present session. The grain harvest in California this year is said to be the largest .ever known. The amount of wheat harvested exceeds over one million ton. The Xcw York Tribune says the Democratic ticket is dangerously strong, and that if Republicans considerel it weak, they were woefully mistaken. Me. IlAt .sAKEK, of the Cincinnati Yolksplatt, will address the ratification meeting of the Democracy of Cincinnati next Saturday at Exposition Hall. The Fourth was celebrated in Phila delphia, in a stylo never witnessed, and the throng was immense. All the high dignitaries of the country were there. Miss IT.w.Tiror.NE, an actor of ? onie note, f'll from the sixth story window of the Treniont House, in Chicago, one night last week, and was instantly killed. Chicago being banki upt has to issue scrip to meet its indebtedness, and the council in order to cut down expenses, wants to abolish the health and public works boards. Hon. Chaklks Fraxcis Adams, Judge Htallo, and other leading Independents, have given their adhesion to tho democratic platform, and will support Tii.dex nd Hendricks. A heavy rain storm passed over Cincinnati and surroundings on Sunday afternoon. It poured down in torrents, and considerable damage was done to the gardens in the vicinity of the city. The Independents held a mass meeting at Indianapolis on Saturday nijht, at which the speakers denounced both political parties as being in favor of hard money, and therefore not to he trusted. Senator MortRii.i, has declined the Secreatary of Treasuryship. Secretary of War Cameron has been placed in charge of that department, until the President can find some one that will take the place. Tho removal of all the Treasury officials that were interested in unearthing the Revenue frauds by the President, shows that the Administration is winking at a continuance of these frauds. A campaign fund must be raised. A heavy thunder and rain storm passed over a portion of Centre co., Pa., and great damage thereby. The wind blew fearful, unroofing and tearing down buildings. The rain came down in torrents, and in low places buildings were washed away, und fences were swept away, so that that section has the appearance of a va.-t wiuiarness.

( .'onvcntion itnl its orniIlt'S. TllC Loui Ciinvciiliidi lias met, I an 'I nfier a session of three d;ty3 j adjourned, leaving ita work before the i people. The student of politics, and j those having at heart the traditions of 1 I the party at the time it was in power, j could not but help see in advance that j the Representatives of the Democratic party would present to the consideration of the American people the very cardinal principles wliieh they Lave presented, and no one anxious fur a real purging of corruption?, which now infests every department of the national government did not expect anything else. The platform, which is found in another column, speaks in tones that cannot be misunderstood as to the measures the party advocate. There is no dodging there. Every sentence is short and comprehensive, and the charges against the Republican party during the last eleven years of peace, are so fully eet out, that no one can misunderstand them, and there can be no shirking, and must bo met by the opposition either by an acknowledgment of their truths, or by a flat denial, when every allegation can be proven, and the Republican leaders will be thrown on the defensive. The Convention was also bold in announcing its financial policy. Twothirds of the members were true to the teachings of Jackson and Benton, and they said so without equivocation. The platform means hard money, and is hard money, and although not very popular in this section, yet the great majority of the National Democracy will not sacrifice the long cherishered principles of their ereat leaders in times past, and the minority will have to rally around the j time honored flag, or will have to sever their connection with the only true Na tional party, for the party has spoken so understandingly that no two constructions can be placed upon its meaning, and although we may have differed ou this question, and may now consider it unwise at this timo to adopt the mode proposed to gain the 'great end looked for so anxiously by all our people, but having cast our lot with the Democratic party, we bow to the will of the majority, and shall earnestly labor in the advocacy of its onward march to victory. Unlike the Republican convention, that had lacked the temerity to even uphold a measure that was enacted for ita advancement, the Democracy boldly asks fur the repeal of the resumption act, as it is a stumbling block iu the path to the resumption of specie payment, and also a hindrance to the industrial pursuits of the country. The Tariff plank is broad nnd comprehensive. It is the doctrine of Jefferson, Jackson and Poi.k, and all the great leaders of the party in times gone by. The repeal of the present obnoxious tariff laws are demanded and a tariff for revenue ouly shall take their place. This is a questiou of vast importance to the agricultural aud mechanical classes. To pay tribute to a few iron mongers and marifncturers in the East, not a cent of which finds its way into the treasury, has been borne too lon by the consuming class, and it is bijji time that the agriculturalist and mechanic should look into the matter, and shake oft the burden which weighs upon them so heavy. The Coolie trade finds a prominent place in the platform, and what the people of the Pacific slope so justly demand, is set forth in words that cannot be misunderstood, and so is the demand for reform. UTake the platform as a whole, it is the ablest. that has been presented to the Democracy for years. It is wide enough and broad enough for all to stand upon. A platform of the people, and -for the people. Plain enough for all to understand. No idle phrases are used there, and every word means what it says. New York was honored with the first post of honor. Governor Samuel J. Tilden, received the nomination for the Presidency on the second ballot, by a large majority. The convention seems to have had but one thought, and that was to present a candidate whose record as a reformer is before the country. His prosecution and conviction of the thieves, who are now in the penitentiary, among hia own political party, in New York, and Lis mode of breaking up the canal ring, as Executive of that great State, has given him a name, which could not be obliterated. He was not our choice, and we doubt if the choice of the convention, but all prejudices were laid aside for the one great object, the wresting of power from the corrupt horde that now control the affairs of the nation. Being a man of positive character, he knows no step backwards. His record during his administration as Governor, has shown him to be the peer of any man in ability and statesmanship. He ia a strict follower of the Constitution, and the name of Uncle Sammy, as he is termed at home, is a terror to corruptionists, and when elected President, woe unto those that have robbed the government, for no pardon can be expected of him, and prosecutions will be numerous, and those having enriched themselves by public plunder, will be made to disgorge. We need not say a word about the nominee for Yice President, for the came of Thomas A. Hendricks is known to every one in the State, and no word of ours would add to his fame. We should all have been happy to have him a3 the leader in this great contest, for his eminent abilities fully entitled him to that position, but the Convention willed otherwise, and we will have to submit. His unanimous nomination for the second place showed in what estimation he was held by the convention, and every Iudianian must feel proud of their favorite. It is many years since the Democratic party has presented to the country a ticket composed of two such able men, and all our bickerings and prejudices should now vanish. We, as well as others, have been disappointed, but what are disappointments in comparison to the great principles we are advocating. Men vanish, but principles never will. For the sake of the toiling millions that groan under the burden of taxation, which has been heaped upon them by the party in power, let Us close up the phalanx and march on to victory. Your

leader are brave and true. They are able and faithful. Both have been tried and never found wanting, and with "Re

form" emblazoned 011 our banner, we j will march on to conquest. This canvass will be fought on principle alone. The people have become tired of looking for availabity, but want men of high standing, that do not only advocate but also enforce the teachings which they enunciate. There ia nothing to be gained by divisions and strife in our ranks. Only by unity of action can we be successful. Once more we say forget your heart-burnings and prejudices and rally as one man around that old flag, which you so often followed. In a crisis like this, when it is the duty of every patriot to rally around the standard, and hurl the corruptionists that have made this mighty Nation, the scorn of the civilized world, from power. Victory ia within our grasp, and can easily be attained, if we only do our duty. The facta are tho ticket ia n strong one, and will gain in strength daily as the campaign progresses, and the Independents, who stand aloof of party ties, and know the great superiority of our standard-bearers to those of the opposition, will come to their support, and help to swell our ranks. Let ua then all go to work, and labor earnestly for a glorious triumph in November. The Centennial Fourth was duly celebrated on last Tuesday in every city, town and hamlet throughout the United Sttftes, and the shouts of joy that rend the air were echoed from every hill top, and well may we rejoice, for this glorious government of ours is the grandest and noblest in the civilized world. The Fourth of July brings to u yearly fond recollections of the past, and brings our memory back to the days of hardship as experienced by our fathers. When we behold this country a century ago, and compare it with what it is now, we look with amazement at tho progress it has made. Where then was one vast wilderness, ;now stand large and wealthy cities inhabited by hundreds of thousands of sonls. Instead of thirteen sparsely settled colonies, we have now thirty-seven prosperous State?. Our territory expands from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the St. Lawreace to the Gulf of Mexico, with a population of forty-four millions of souls; all happy as freemen. It is hard to comprehend how in such a short space of time we have midc such rapid strides,"J but when fully solved it is an easy matter to come to the conclusion that the spirit of freedom which animated our fathers in the dark days of freedom's dawn, yet vibrates in the breast of every true American, and so long aa freedom's banner waves, so long will we go on iu the road to progress and advance higher and higher until the whole western hemisphere will seek its flag. The Fourth of July should always be revered by every freeman, no matter whether here or in foreign lands, for on that day one hundred years ago, the first thought of selfgovernment was proclaimed, and by its fruits since that day has demonstrated to the world that no country can be so great as the one where freedom's banner waves. Empires have tumbled since that day, the proudest nations cf the earth have sunk into obscurity since the American eagle first spread hia wings, and still we are marching onward and upward so that to-day we are the proudest and greatest nation of the globe. This ia an asylum for the downtrodden of the world, and under our banner all made happy. Such are the fruits of the Declaration of Independence. The State Ticket. No Democrat should forget that Indiana holds her State election in October, and that we, a3 a party, have great responsibilities resting on our shoulders, and should therefore organize early for the fray. Our candidates are able, and worthy of support, and it would be an insult to them if we let them fall by the wayside, and only looked to the Presidential contest for the decisive battle. Aa the enemy ia vigilant and unscrupulous, and will use every exertion to carry the State, we must not relax our exertions, but keep our colums tightly closed. Although the head of the Republican ticket is tinctured with corruption, yet that will be of no avail, as he is backed up by the National administration, whose deeds of corruption are numbered by the hundreds. Let ua therefore be watchful and rally around that honest old farmer of Knox, and Indiana will be safe in October, but we must work with a will, and let no opportunity escape to hold up before the people the peculations and corruptions of the Republican party. The nominations of Tildex and Hendricks are being well received throughout the Union, with here and there an exception, where local pride has not yet quite cooled down, but all will be well. The Independent Press, such af the Cincinnati Commercial, Volksblatt. New York Tost, and other influential journals, speak iu the highest praise of the platform and nominees, showing that the people are awakening to the comprehension that there must be a change iu rulers, and that speedily. Impromptu ratification meetings have been held in nearly all the principal cities and towns, and great enthusiasm manifested. The Indiana delegation at St. Louis stood nobly by our favorite, and the Democracy of the State feel grateful to them for their endeavors to place at the head of the ticket, Indiana's honored son. They fought a noble fight, but the majority was against them, and they had to bow to the will of the majority. The following speaks for itself, and we will not offer comments : Montgomeuy, Ai.a., July S. The mayor of this city sends the following: To General Hawiey, president Centennial Committee, Philadelphia : The people of Montgomery, the birth-place of the confederate government, through its city council, extend 11 cordial and fraternal greeting to all the people of the United States, with an earnest prayer for tho perpetuation of concord and brotherly feeling throughout our land. M. L. Moses, Mayor.

TIIK rLATFOUJI.

We, the delegates of the National Democratic party of the United State in National Convention assembled, do hereby declare the administration of the Federal Government to be in urgent need of immediate reform, do hereby enjoin upon nominees of this Convention and of the Democratic party in each State a zealous effort and co-operation to this end. and do hereby appeal to our fellow-citizens of every former political conviction to undertake with ns thia first aud most pressing patriotic duty for the Democracy of the whole country. We do hereby reaffirm our faith in the permanency of the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitution of the United States with its amendments universally accepted as a final settlement of controversies that engendered civil war, and do here record our steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of Republican self-government, in absolute acquiescence in the will of the majority, in the vital principles of republics, in the supremacy of the civil over the military authority, in the total separation of Church and State for the sake alike of civil and religious freedom, in the equality of all citizens before just laws of their own enactment, in the liberty of individual conduct unvexed by sumptuary laws, in the faithful education of the rising generation that may preserve, enjoy and transmit these best conditions of human hoppiness and hope. We behold the noblest products of a hundred years of changeful history, but, while upholding the bond of our Union and great charter of thtse our rights, it behooves a tree people to practice also that eternal vigilance which ia the price of liberty. Reform is necessary to rebuilt and establish in the hearts of the whole peopl ci the Cnion, eleven years agoii appny rescued from the danger of a accession of States, but now to be saved from a corrupt centralism, which, after inflicting upon ten States th rapacity of carpet-bag tyrannies, has honeycombed the offices of the Federal Government itself with incapacity, waste and fraud, infected States aud municipalities with the contagion of misrule, and locked fast the prosperity of an industrious people in the paralysis of hard times. Reform ia necessary to establish a sound currency, restore the public credit and maintain the National honor. We denounce the failure, for all these eleven years, to make good tha promise of the legal-tender notes, which are a changing standard of value in the hands of )he people, and the non-payment of which ia a disregard of the plighted faith of the nation. We denounce the improvidence which in eleven years of peace has taken from the people in Federal taxes thirteen times the whole amount of the legaltender notes, and squandered four times this sum in useless expense without accumulating any reserve for their redemption. We denounce the financial inability and immorality of that party which, for eleven years of peaco, has made no advance toward resumption, no preparation for resumption ; but instead has obstructed resumption by wasting our resources and exhausting all our surplus income, and while annually professing to intend a speedy return to specie payments, has annually enacted fresh hinderances thereto. As such a hinderance we denounce the resumption clause of the act of 1S75, aud we here demand ita repeal. We demand a judicious system of preparation by public economies, by official retrenchments and by wise finances, which shall enable the nation soon to assure the whole world of ita perfect ability and its perfect readiness to meet auy of its promises at the call of the creditor entitled to payment. We believe such a system, well devised, and, above all, intrusted to competent hands for execution, cieating at 110 time alarming the public mind into a withdrawal of that vaster machinery of credit by which ninety-five percent, of all business transactions are performed a system open, public, aud inspiring general confidence would from tho day of its adoption, bring healing on ita wings to all our harassed industry, and set in motion the wheels of commerce, manufactures and the mechanic arts, restore employment to labor, and renew all iu Datural source, the prosperity of the people. Reform ia necessary in the sum and mode of Federal taxation, to the end that may bo set free from distrust and labor lightly burdened. We denounce the present tariff levied upon nearly four thousand articles as a masterpiece of injustice, inequality and false pretenso. It yields a dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It has impoverished many industries to subsidize a few. It prohibits imports that might Purchase the products of American labor, t has degraded American commerce from the first to an inferior rank upon the high seas. It has cut down the sales of American manufactures at homo and abroad, and depleted the returns of Ameri can agriculture, an industry followed by half our people. It costs the people fire times more than it produces to the Treasury, obstructs the process of production, and wastes the fruits of labor. It promotes fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches dishonest officials, and bankrupts houcst merchants. We demand that all Custom-house taxation Bhall be only for revenue. Reform is necessary in the scale of public expenses, Federal, State and Municipal. Our Federal taxation has swollen from $60,000,000 in gold in 1860 to $450,000,000 in currency in 1870, and our aggregate taxation from $$14,000,000 in gold in I860 to $730,000,000 in currencyin 1870, or in one decade from less than $5 per head to more than $18 per head. Since the peace the people have paid to their taxgatherers more than thrice the sum of the National debt, and more than twice that sum for the Federal Government alone. Whe demand a vigorous frugality in every Department and from every office of the Goverment. Reform is necessary to put a Btop to the profligate waste of public lands and their diversion from actual settlers by the party in power, which has squandered two hundred millions of acres upon railroads alone, and out of more than thrice that aggregate has disposed of less than a sixth directly to tillers of the soil. Reform is necessary to correct the omissions of a Republican Congress, and the errors of our treaties and our diplomacy which have stripped our fellow-citizens of foreign birth and kindred race, recrossing the Atlantic, of the shield of American citizenship, and exposed our brethren of the Pacific Coast to the incursions of a race not sprung from the same great parent stock, and, in fact, now by law denied citizenship through naturalization, as being neither accustomed to the traditions of a progressive civilization nor exercised in liberty under equal laws. We denouce the policy which thus discards the liberty-loving German, and tolerates the renewal of the Cooly trade in Mongolian women imported for immoral purposes, and Mongolian men hired to perform servile labor contracts, and demand such modification of the treaty with the Chinese Empire or such legislation by Congress within constitutional limitation as shall prevent the further importation or immigration of the Mongolian race. Reform is necessary, and can never be effected but by making it the controlling issue of the election, and lifting it above the two false issues with which the officeholding class and the party in power seek to smother it, viz.: The false issue with which they would enkindle sectarian strife in respect to the Public Schools, of which the establishment and support, belonging exclusively to the

several States, and which the Democratic j party have cherished from their foundatiuii, and is resolved to maintain without 1 partiality, in preference for any class, j

sect or creed, and without contributing from the treasury to any ; the false issue by which they seek to light anew the dying embers of sectional hate between kindred peoples, once unnaturally estranged, but now reunited in one indivisible Republic and a common destiny. Reform is necessary in the civil service. Experience proves that efficient, economical conduct of the governmental business is not potsible if its civil service be subject to change it every election, be a prize fought for at the ballot-box.he a brief reward of party zeal, instead of posts of honor assigned for proved competency, and heid tor fidelity in the public employ; that the dispensing of patronage should neither be a tax upon the time of all our public men, nor the instrument of their ambition. Here again professions falsified in the performance attest that the partT in power can work out no practical or salutary reform. Reform is necessary even more in the higher grades of public service, President, Vice-President, Judges, Senators, Representatives and Cabinet officers. These and all others in authority are the people's servants. Their offices are not a private perquisite, they are a public trust. Wheu the annals of this Republic show the disgrace and censure of a VicePresident, a Tate Speaker of the House of Representatives marketing his rulings aa a presiding officer, three Senators profiting secretly by their votes as law-makers, five Chairman of the leading Committees of the Jate House of Representatives exposed in jobbery, a Jate Secretary of the Treasury forcing a balance in the public accounts, a late AttorneyGeneral misappropriating public fund, Secretary of the Navy enriched or enriching friends by percentages levied off the profits of contractors with his department, an Embassador to England censured in a dishonorable speculation, the President's Private Secretary barely escaping couviction upon trial for guilty complicity in frauds upon the revenve, a Secretary of War impeached for high crimes and misdemeanor, the demonstration is complete that the first step in reform must be the people's choice of honest men from another party, lest the disease of one political organization infect the body politic, and lest by making no change of men or party, we can get no cnage of measures aud no reform. All these abuses, wrongs and crimes, the product of sixteen years' ascendency of the Republican party, create a necessity for reform confused by Republican themselves; but their reformers are voted down in Convention and displaced from the Cabinet. The party mass of honest voters ia powerless to resist the eighty thousand office-holders, its leaders and guides. Reform can only be had by peaceful, civic resolution. We demand a change of system, a change of administration, a change of parties, that we may have a change of measures and of men. "Resolved, That this Convention, representing the Democratic party of the States, do candidly indorse the action of the present House of Representatives applause in reducing and curtailing the expenses of the Federal Government, in cutting down salaries, extravagant appropriations, and in abolishing useless offices and places not required by the public necessities, and we shall trust to the firmness of the Democratic members of the House that no Committee of Conference and no misinterpretation of rules will be allowed to defeat these wholesome measures of economy demanded by the country. Applause. "Resolved, That tho soldiers and sailors of the republic, and the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in battle, have a just claim upon the care, protection and gratitude of their fellowcitizens." Applause. COLLEGE CORNER SNAPS. Another dramatic scene occurred at the dramatic rehearsal last Saturday evening. 'Jealousy and disappointed love. College Corner paid its respects to Liberty on the Fourth. The case of State of Ohio, vs Jacob Coon, for lond to keep the peace, resulted in defendent being set free. Jake Ridenour ia having a newcoat of paint put on hia barn. The nominatiou of Tilden, took a few of the Democrats by surprise and many were disappointed because Hendricks or Thurman did not get the first place. Nevertheless they will support and work earnestly for the ticket. Hendricks ia very popular here, both in Ohio and Indiana. Tho temperance meeting a few evenings since, - was well attendee. The spettkers being Mr. Norris, of Oxford, Mr. RIchey, of this place, and Mr. Mellendei, of Liberty. They all made very interesting speeches. Mrs. Fred Finkerton, f Indianapolis, is visiting her parents here. Plenty of tramps sojourn for a few days at a time here. A law suit for slander is talked f between two citizens of the county. A couple of citizens, of Center township, took a walk last Saturday over into Butler county te see "five points." When yon get over into that part of tewu it is all corner. A number of citizens went to Hamilton on the 4th. Kent. OTICE TO HEIRS OF PETITION TO RE1L SEEE ESTATE. Stnt of Indiana, Union county, fs. Noti-e i herein" given, thut Martha M.
