The Bepublican party, at their primaries and convention present a ticket for city officers that every Bepublican can vote with a hearty good will, believing that the best interests of Richmond will be subserved by its election. " THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. The following is the platform adopted by the convention. It contains all that the real needs of our city demand : Resolved. That no new engagements should be entered into by the City Council which will iequire an increase of the debt of the city, or a large expenditure of money, until the present indebtedness is more largely reduced. That we favor the application of all the funds at present in the Treasury, which can be spared from necessary expenditures, to a further reduction of the city debt.- . That we favor a reduction of taxes the present year, tbe reduction to contme. from year to year, until the taxes shall not exceed one per cent., beyond which they should not be permitted to rise. . - ., ; -. That this Convention is in favor of rigid economy in, the administration of the city government. j i That we endorse the action of the present School .Board in accounting to the city for the interest received on school fund money. . ; BEPCBUCAN TICKET.

Heretofore, the true indication of satisfaction on the part of any .party, has been to re nominate the incumbent and thus endorse his admnistration ; but our Richmond Democracy have introduced some thing new in this line. The "on terrified" almost unanimously con demned Mayor Uder for his grab bing propensity, which "cropped out" and was one of the first acts of his administration, at the com mencement of his second year. Little by-little he departed from the chalk line marked out by the more spirited members of the party, and the fiat went fourth that he must "step down and out," and then the very fellows who had garroted and squeezed the Elder juice out of him, passed a resoluton nnanimonrly endorsing Mayor Elder's administration, C "salary grab" and all! a .This is certainly as complete a case of political stultincauon ox a party, as ever came nnaer our oDservauon, ana we opine His Honor feels specially gratified at this enthusiastic en dorsement!!! ' - No doubt our Elderly friend, the Mayor, regards this endorsement as the biggest political "bonanza" out. The fact is, the anticipation of his being the owner of a "spotted do'rg," is no where in comparison to that hearty approval of his administration! Hon. Samuel Shellabarger has formed a law partnership at Wash ington, with Hon. Jeremiah Wilson, of Richmond, Ind., whose term as a Representative has just expired. The style of the firm is Shellabarger & Wilson. Springfield Re public. Any place should be proud to have .it said that Jerre. Wilson, was a citizen thereof; but our cotemporary of the Republic should have said Connersville, instead of Richmond. Really, however, we don't know, when it comes to establishing claims on him as a citi zen, our city is as much entitled to the credit as the place where he has resided for several years past. He was the best Representative we have ever had from Old Wayne in every and all changes of the District in the past, and for that reason, if for no other the Republic is half right, in setting him down as a citizen of our ritv.

WoMterftU Retention or Meat. On the 30 of October last, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the large new air shaft of the Belcher mine, then completed to the 1,000 foot level, took fire and was destroyed. The timbers of the shaft all burned out. and the rock fell in and blocked it up. After mature deliberation, it was thought that it would be better and cheaper . to sink a new shaft than to try to clear ' out the old one, so - badly-were its sides caved, and so great was the quant

ity of rock that had tumbled into it. The new shaft was sunk a short distance to the west of , the old one. It has now reached a point near the 1,000 foot level, where it will be continued down on an incline. The incline was started at the 1.000 foot level, and carried up to meet the vertical portion of tho shaft. The course of this in cline carried it through the remains of the old vertical shaft, bat as soon; as it was lapped the men found they could do nothing in it, on account of the ashes, burnt earth and. rocks that poured down into their incline. A , tunnel was then run until it had reacned a point a short distance west of the old shaft, where a vertical uprise was made to the line of the proposed incline to be run np to meet the new shaft. The men then began working down on the incline in order to reach the point from which they were driven in trying to come up. They have succeeded in getting into the bot tom of the old shaft, where,much to their surprise, they find the rock still red hot. In trying to put in timber they were " set on fire, and in order to work at all it is found necessary to bring a line of hose into the place and play a stream of water upon the rocks wedged in the bottom of the old shaft. There is no timber on fire . among the rocks. They seem' to have been heated to a degree so intense at the time of the fire that they have remained red hot ever since. When we find so small a mass of rocks as can be contained in the bottom of a shaft remaining red hot for over five months, after having been heated to whiteness, should we be incredulous on being assured by scientists that the cen ter of the earth, once a molten mass of rock, still remains in a molten state after, untold ages? Nearly three years after the great fire in the lellow Jacket mine, places : were found in the lower levels where the rocks was still nearly red hoi. Virginia City Nev.J Enterprise. f . . , Philadelphia is being robbed in the name of her water supplies The Bulletin says of her East Park reservoir: "The work has cost enormous sums of money, and needs nearly if not quite a million more to com plete it. Experts dispute as to the propriety of its location and its uti ity when finished. Others raise Serious questions as to the manner in which the .large cost of it has been expended, and doubt if the rcity has not paid a great deal more for it than has been honestly earned. - " " We hope the Bulletin does not .flatter itself ' that the experience of Philadelphia is without precedent or parallel. It could be matched, we think, even in the neighborhood of Cincinnati. . The Bulletin adds : ' We doubt very " much whether the general policy of the Water Department is the correct one. It all appears to tend toward the cost liest method, that of steam pump ing, and to undervalue the immense advantages which Philadelphia possesses for cheap exhaustless supplies. . Steam power is estimated by competent engineers to be six times more costily than water power, and yet the finest water power in Philadelphia, that of Flat Rock Dam, is not ntilized at all, while enormously expensive steam engines are . in use, and more in : construction, for pumping purposes. This is easily accounted . for. There is not as great a chance to steal in the use of water power as of steam power, and therefore city governments sing the song of steam. .. ; A Washington dispatch says that Southern Democrats are actively engaged in fixing up a presidential ticket for 1876, and they "concede to the North the first place on the ticket. This is more than gener ous it might almost be called dis- , interested benevolence. Consider ing that only a few years ago r the Southern Democrats would have nothing less than a span new gov ernment of their own, it is a great art of condescention for them to take a hand in the old thing they tried to break up. But when, in addition to this, they graciously consent that the Northern Democracy shall have the first place on the Presidential ticket, it is diffi cult to repress the feelings of admiration excited by such beautiful generosity. After all, there is something noble in the Southern character. Indianapolis J Journal. The best political speech of the season was made by Major Hotchkis8. of Staunton, in the recent canvass in West Virginia. He said: ' i "Gentlemen, if no one will make a speech I will, and I will ; stop when I get done. Citizens of West Virginia, if you would all take the same interest in developing the resources of your country by opening your rich mines, cultivating the soil, improving your stock and cultivating habits of industry, that' you take in hunting public offices for yourselves and friends, you would soon have one of the first and best States in the Union." Mra. Marv Coffin, of Nantucket, who died this winter at the age of ninety-four years, left children over seventy years old, grandchildren over fifty, great grandchildren over thirty- i two years old, ana several g. g. g.cnii-dren.

... Broken Pledges. Democratic editors mistake the intent and scope, of . Governor Hendricks' letter reviewing the acts of the recent Democratic Leg-. islature, when they 4ttake the ground that the " Legislature "redeemed every promise made to the people during the campaign." The Governor intended only to pat the Democratic members on the head, and tell them that though they t have not fully come up to the ex- ' pectations of their friends they ., were much better than any Repub '

hcan Legislature. . This was as much as the Governor, even under' duress, could afford to say. That the promises made in the Demo cratic platform were not redeemed -by the Democratic Legislature is j easily demonstrated. The first resolution of the Democratic series of July, 1874, reads. "Resolved, That we are in favor of the redemption of the 5.20 bonds in greenbacks, according to the law under which they were issued." Senator McDonald repudiated this resolution in the plainest, fullest terms, and at the same time announced that he was in favor of a hard money' " basis. The Legislature passed by the well known advocate of paying the 5-20 bonds in green backs, Hon. D. W. , Voorhees, and elected Mr. Mcdonald Senator. That was not a redemption of the pledge in the platform, it was an unmistakable repudiation of it The 2d resolution required the repeal of the law of March, I860, which assumed to construe the law so as to make the 5.20 bonds payable exclusively in gold. Mr. McDon aid. denounced this, as it would be a violation of the faith of the na tion. Was that resolution re deemed or repudiated by the . elec tion of Mr. McDonald to the Uni ted States Senate? The 11th resolution "denounces as a wanton outrage upon the taxridden people of Indiana" a State tax of fifteen cents on the hundred dollars, and demanded the lowest State tax that will support an economical administration, not exceeding five cents on the hundred dollars. Did the levy made by the Democratic Legislature, of thirteen cents on the hundred dollars, redeem the pledge made in the 11th resolution! The 13th resolution demanded "such a change in our laws as will effectually prohibit the use of pub lic money by officers for their ., private gain." Did the Democratic Legislature redeem this pledge when it neglected to enact "such a law"and left the Auditor and Treas urer of State to use the public monies as heretofore? Was the pledge ol retrenchment and reform redeemed in permitting clerks of the House to embezzle public money and continue the practice after the Democratic press had called the attention of - the House to the steal? Was the persistent stealing of bills from the House calendar a redemption of the pledge to reform? Finally, was the organization of a committee to revise the laws after the Legislature adjourned a meas ure -of .Democratic reform? This committee inserted a clause in one of the appropriation bills, after the adjournment sine die,' to pay one of the Democratic members about $1,300, alleging that it had been dropped out by mistake. Madison Courier. The Worrier Worried Out. " The correspondent of the Cin cinnati Commercial, writing from Brooklyn, April 15th, has this to say of Fuller ton and Beecher: that it was not : Beecher, but Ful 1 V . - V k-Ai . w 11 V i iiJ my n m i , ler ton not the : victim, but the torturer -who had first given way. It was announced that after the close of yesterday's work, Fullerton had suffered an attack of vertigo so serious as to disable him from resuming operations. ' This ' morning,after a couple of brief speeches on the subject from the counsel of both sides, the Judge ordered an adjournment of the trial till next Monday, in hopes that the sharp lawyer may then be in condition to return to his duties. Beach him self, when making announcement of his colleagues prostration, was also in a poor way,and it was quite evident that he had not recovered from his own illness, which last week caused us to lose a day. At the regular hour this morn ing, xJeecher ascended the stand as usual, and waited patiently for his eross-examnier. lie did not look nearly as vigorous or lively as ordinarily. His face was aged, his demeanor grave, and he evidently felt relieved at the prospect of a few days rest. Everything had given promise of a day of intense interest and excitement, but Beech er was probably the man who had the least enjoyment of the pros pect. ' He can ordinarily hold his ground against any man, but in the witness chair he labors under sev eral disadvantages, which paralyze his force; and he is there subject to attacks which he is prevented from resisting. Beecher lingered only a few minutes after adjournment this morning.and then walked off home ward with his wife and family. Several strangers were presented to Beecher, one of whom expressed a fervent wish "that - this thiner could be worked up into fight; there is not enough fight in it now. J. might think so, too, if 1 were not in it," was " Beecher's response. Bessie Turner made her first visit to Court to day since her appearance on the witness stand. Before leaving Beecher saw her, saluted her, and said: , "You made a better witness than I do.Miss Trrrner." . Beecher then enjoyed an inter view witn a i reporter in these terms:Reporter, I was glad you did not get mad yesterday. : 1 -

Mr. Beecher Mad! , Ofc, no,

thoueh a I .was. earnest at times.

Earnestness has no . more relation to ansrer than noise to eloquence. Neither of us was angry. Mr. Fullerton had a duty to do, and did it. I had a paramount duty to do, and tried to do it. It was to help Mr. Fullerton to get up all the facts in this case; no man in this Court desires them to come out so much as I. There may be those who desire it as much as I, but no man more so. I want all of them to come out. and to come out rightly and not obliquely. I have a trood memorv for the results of things and a bad one for details just those things on which a .law yer catches yon napping on crosHexamination. I cet dates 'on: the wroncr side of documents, 1 and the like, but such things correct them selves, and I have to testify as it is in me to do, and in my own way; I want this trial to go on,and to go on to the end. The truth "will eventually all work out. I liave nothiner in this world to attend to now but this - trial, 3 except . my church work. I am careful not to let that slacken at all, and do not mean that itj-shalL" - t On Wednesday, April 7th, Rhode Island held its State election and gave the largest Republican majority ever given in the State. The Cincinnati Gazette summarizes as follows: " We now have the results in three of the New England States. With a Republican gain in New Hamp shire, a large Republican gain in Rhode Island, and the Democrats barely holding their pwn in Connecticut, as compared with the election a year ago, we may inquire the whereabouts of that reaction of the Democratic party, which was so loudly announced last year. The Bricklayers Union in Indianapolis have paid out over $5,000 this Winter in aiding members out of employment. According to the rules of the union the money so advanced must be repaid as soon as the borrower is able to do so from his wages. There is 10,000 in the union fund and 400 members in the union. Mr. Beecher told Mr. Fullerton that his observations during the trial of the ceremony of swearing on the Bible had caused him to re fleet on the subject and to prefer taking the oath with uplifted hand. Beecher has been something of a kissing man,but he is not enamored of kissing Court Bibles. Treasurer Spinner has . received an autograph letter from the President, accepting his resignation as Treasurer of the United ; States, and expressing for the retiring official the warmest sentiments of regard personally, together with high appreciation of his well known probity, patriotism and official integrity. The Philadelphia Press copies from the Florence Italy Touriste an extravagant laudation of John . W. Forney, in which he is called "one of the most eminent represen tativos of the American press, and a remarkable specimen of the class of self made men, who are one of the glories of the United States, and honor their country in every branch of art and industry." . One of the coolest robberies on record occurred at . Boston last ,,, Wednesday. Two men went into the Hide and Leather National Bank in company with several stockholders, who called to collect their dividends, and managed to take from the President's table fifty-four sheets'of uncut bills, $2,700 in all. The theft was discov ered almost immediately, but the men had fled. - The London Iron says, "Out of every hundred seaman who die out of the United Kingdom, seventy are drowned. Ten sailors are drowned daily without legal in quiry. Upwards of three thousand houses of the poor are annually 'desolated in this manner without let or hindrance from the law. About a thousand of these are washed overboard ' or otherwise lost yearly, without loss of the vessel, whilst upward of twothous and are drowned in shipwreck. It is only a quibble of the law as to the non-production - of the body which refuses the coroner's aid to the drowned sailor.7 . ' ' The Prussians are about to with draw the State grants from the Catholic Bishops. All accounts from trustworthy, sources show that the Bismarck policy of warfare upon the pretentions of Rome is supported by the overwhelming majority of the German people. The dissenters are furious, but they are not forcible. 1 A Scrap of History. We have been permitted to copy the following interesting letter addressed by the late Chief Justice Chase, in 1866, to Senator, then Governor Morton: Ind. Jour. " Washington, Nov. 10, 1866. "My Dear Governor I think it is the right of men who have ably and faithfully served their country to know that their labors are appreciated as they merit. "So I will not deny myself tbe pleasure of telling you that Secretary Stanton was with me last evening, aud we, naturally turning our minds to the past, fell to talking of you. "We agreed that no Governor rendered such services, or displayed such courage or more ability in administration; and we agreed that your recent services were most meritorious of all, because rendered undei circumstances of greater personal risk of health and life, and which would have beeu by almost any man regarded, and by all accepted, as good reason for total inaction. "I have seldom heard Stanton express himself so earnestly. "I hope you will derive some satisfaction irom this little relation. The talk gave much to me. Cordially your friend, S. if. UHASE.

Woman Suflrajse. Nearly one year ago, in the Acadeniy ot juusic, xsew lors, iienry Ward Beecher gave utterance to the following just sentiments on this question, and they enforce the right as well as the need of conferring on woman the power of voting, that we reproduce and commend It to our readers : : ' "I don't know how it is with vou. but my idea ol women is borrowed Irom my mother, from my sisters, my wife, children, irom those I have as sociated with, and 1 have been accus tomed to feel in the presence of wo men ot thouchtfulness. and of moral depth, that there was something more tor them than mere housework not that I despir-e that, but I have been accustomed to women who could do their own work so that they could read the last treatise on science or the last book on art, and sit and converse as close in criticisms as any man. I say, il you are to make a household with such a woman as I have described, you must have some thing more than drudgery. Aplause.J Ihe superior woman may e her own licht, she may throw a radiance over the whole household out of the elements of her own soul. But all women have not that power of development and moral influence. Taking them one and another they need help and succorand I say, any thing that gives a woman something more to think of than daily drudgery, that gives her an inspiration, that lifts, that makes her soul vibrate with the pulses of new life, that makes her Ion? to know and search to know what men are thinking of, what policies are obtaining in the community, what is the law, and what are the va rious movement ot society these things tend to content women, aud make a home more eaered; for it no longer n a prison-house: it becomes to her a throne. Where 6he can, by the free exertion of moral influence, move upon a community, she becomes a legislator. I know it is said, "Let a woman stay at home; if she is really interested in these things-let her hus band satisty her, but do not let her eo herself into the field and vote. Why should she vote?" Well, why should you vote ? Tell me any reason why a man should vote, and that reason is why a woman, should first, second, third, and last, -every single one of them. Tell me any reason why a man should not vote, and that will be the reason why a woman should not vote. this idea ot shutting off the women is not original with you. There has not been a king or an aristocrat since the world began that had not precisely your reasons why the-lower classes should not give up all their liberties to the upper classes, so they might appropriate the power. Look at it in England, loot at it on the Continent; they are squeamish when the rights of women are spoken of. But when we advocate the rights of a duchess they aro never so, nor when a crown is the question to be decided.. Only let her wear a tiara of power, or let her be some aristocrat, and she can be exalted to any hight of political or civil power without a word of opposition on the part of her electors. Woman is at the beginning, at the end, but she is the queen. That is the secret. Now that which aristocracy asserts for itself I assert for Democracy. ; That which is right for an carl's wife i9 right for my wife; that which is right for a duke's wife is right for your wife; that which is right lor a woman in any station in lite is right for womanhood, and I plead for that; that which has been conceded and sanctified in other lands through ages I ask for my wife, my sister, my child, my mother. Crown women because they are women, not because they are duchesses. If it be said that woman can preserve her individuality, and not vote, I suppose she can preserve it if she does vote, just as easily. And if a woman can stand in the battlefield and load a gun. then I think she can stand in the battle and fire the gun.- It she has to stay in the house and interest herself in all pub lie questions enough to instruct her boys, or advise her husband, then, I think, she is in a situation in which she may fire her own gun which she has taken so much pains to load. Why should you send me to vote ? Why should she not vote ? Moreover, it is dangerous to have influences exerted in the community without responsibility. It is a dangerous thing to have strong-minded women about, with nothing to do but 6tay at home and talk about other folks. The man is urged forward this way and that way; he is responsible; but the mover of the machine is not. Let her have responsibility as well as privilege. It is said it would produce such disorder that no man could think with patience of consenting, or allow his child or wife to go into scenes of political excitement. Now, jn the fir?t place, while the beginnings of this movement are very like eddies and whirls of excitement, when it is settled by public action and by joint councils between man and woman, there will not be the wild excitement that now exists. Do you believe it would be productive of much harm when the husband would say, "My dear there is to be a primary meeting to night Catharine, put on your bonnet and let us fo down.". And next after him would e hia daughter, with her young fellow. Do you think such scenes would take place at the primaries as now do in Brooklyn ? Primaries, I must conI f ess, are not the most agreeable places I in which to look at Democratic insti-

mit the women, don't von think there

will spring up the same sympathy botween them as exists in religion r 31en and women act together in per feet harmony in schools, in eleemosy nary institutions, reformatory move ments, temperance societies, all o these things are found to be admir ably conducted wnen the two sexes act together. I aver that a reform will take place, and one reason why we lack so much in politics is we lack the influence of women. Thi is hard to believe now, but things will not exist in the future as they exist now, It needs a great deal ot courage on the part of the advocates of this cause to assert their convictions nowadays because there is such a brassed influence against them. But when men and women are educated to vote, and it becomes a part of their regular duty, and when it has settled down at last on its proper basis, there will be refinement, restraint, and dignity car ried into the administration ot public affairs. " The New York Commercial Adver tiser says: ' ' It is stated that Moody, the American revivalist, who is now making bo many converts in London, was a Lo lonel in the Union Army. It is told of him that on one occasion, when he was leading his regiment against the enemy, he shouted, '"Give 'em h 11, bovs!" During his subsequent ca reer as a revivalist one of his old comrades related the incident, and this brought out a card from Moody, who declared that he never used pro fane language, and what he really said was, "Give 'em Hail Columbia, boys!" It was not Dwight L. Moody, "the American Revivalist," of whom this story is told, by "our Moody" name ly, the Rev. Granville formerly of this city, who was known during the war as "the Fighting Parson," and who can whip his weight in wild-cats, in the army or out of it. No man can beat him in the breadth, depth and , length ot his sermons! Springfield (O.) Republic. . The Honolulu Gazette says a violent snowstorm visited Hawaii on the 2d of March, covering the three stately summits of the three mountains of that island. On the low lands it rained very hard, and the lightning filayed brilliantly over the island, folowed by incessant and terrific claps ol thunder. The next morning a grand and beautiful sight was presented the most beautiful ever seen in that region three mountains capped with snow in the tropics. A young man, Fred Brandenburg, was found dying from starvation and exhaustion under a pile of lumber, in San Francisco, early Tuesday morning. Ho stated before death that he crawled under the lumber nine days ago. Other lumber was piled around him, stopping egress. He was a son of Mathias Brandenburg, of No. 6, St. Charles place, Philadelphia, and was aged about 18. N u. O T I V, E . s. INTERNAL REVENUE SPECIAL TAXES, May 1, 1875, to April SO. 1876.
