FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1871.

The Forward Movement.

It will be seen by reference-to our telegraphic columns, that the Democracy of the State of Ohio, in State Convention assembled, have adopted the "forward movement," in every important particular. This is certainly encouraging, and is a step in the direction of success in the approaching great, campaign of 1S72. The Democracy of Pennsylvania and Ohio, two of the great States of the I'nion, have now come out of the mire of the past, and stand erect in the light of the present. To see a great party have the courage to step boldly out of the rut of partisan precedents, and in one giant bound leap to the front and grapple only with the issues of the hour, gives us renewed faith in the stability and perpetuity of free institutions.

This, in our judgment, settles the position the Democratic party intend to assume in the Presidential contest. It will not fight the campaign "on the issues growing out of the war, and their corollary legislation," but letting the past be regarded as the past, will look to the immediate wants and interests of the people now. The amendments to the

Con

stitution, in the language of the Ohio resolutions, are to be regarded "as accomplished facts," thus removing them forever from the arena of political discussion. Does not this meet with the hearty endorsement of every honest, unprejudiced man throughout the entire country? It certainly does.

Never did politicians make a greater blunder than the leaders of the Republican party when they proclaimed, but a few weeks ago, that the party intended to make the coming canvass on the "issues growing out of the war." Men of sense saw in this movement, that it was the last resort of ambitious partisans to excite and arouse the passions of men, and by it hope to retain their places and their power, at the sacrifice of the interests of the people. It showed, all over it, the ear-marks of intense demagogism.

The present, teeming with vital interests to the whole people, was to be pushed aside, and the past, with all its unpleasant recollections and horrid memories, again to be blazoned on the political horizon. To this political repast honest men turned away in disgust. Those who had fought the bravest, and endured the most, were the first to forget. Those who were looking alone to personal agrandizement were bitter, most unreletingly bitter, in their hostility.

SINCE the Ohio State Convention has so perfectly taken the forward movement, we hope our neighbor of the Journal, like the prodigal son who slept in the cold a few nights, will now return to his father's house, not to go out again forever.

Why, my dear sir, the Democratic flag has been carried to the front—the captains of companies have advanced to their proper places—the musicians stand ready to sound the advance—field officers are passing- up and down the lines, and the Colonels have just arisen in their stirrups and given the comoffhnd of "forward march" to the whole Democratic column. There mnst be no lagards, no skulkers, no playing the "old soldier," or squads will be sent out to bring th& feeble into line, at the point of the bayonet. The column moves, and it will run over all impediments. You must joint it, or get out of the way.

Take a friend's advice, throw up your hat, join the advance movement, and when the gallant fight is over you will receive your "rations." .....

For the Gazette.

Decoration Day at Dayton, Ohio—A Visit to the Soldiers' Home. As we arrived at the city of Dayton on the morning of the 30th, we found the streets filled with a procession, consisting of boys in blue, zouaves in red, bands of music and citizens, all carrying flowers, en route for the Soldiers' Home, which is about four miles west of Dayton. The city presented the appearance of a gala day flags floating from many places, the beautiful flowers in such profusion carried aloft in wreaths on the bayonets of the soldiers, the glitter and the dash of the many splendid vehicles through the streets, enlivened the scene, until it was hard to remember the sad events which called us together. We followed the procession and soon arrived at the gate of the Soldiers' Home. It is situated four miles west on the Dayton Western turnspike and covers an area some 200 acres of ground. The beauty of the grounds and the elegance of the buildings can hardly be conveyed in words, for there are not words enough in my vocabulary to give your readers an adequate

of the place. It is the perfec

tion of art and nature combined. The procession filed on to the western side of the grounds

where

those soldiers

who have died at the Home are sleeping their last sleep quietly in

the

shade

of noble forest trees. A stand had b«en erected and seats prepared, but there was such a throng of people, that it was impossible to accommodate the half. Speaking by Gen. Voorhis, of Cleveland, Ohio, which was well and ably done. A shower ofrain, however, dashing down on us, somewhat interrupted our enjoyment and as the flowers were strewn thickly on every grave, amidst silence and tears, it appeared as if the heavens

were

rain

weeping over the nation sdead. The

hastened the ceremonies, and drove many back to the city, but we lingered for hours, and when at length compelled to return we left with a sigh of regret at tjU9 many sights yet unseen. There were

iim

about forty graves marked with a plain white wooden slab, with name and date printed in black letters thereon—soldiers, who, without friends to care for them, had laid down their lives for their country. The love and tenderness which prompted the kind act of remembering each year with flowers, these plain and all but unknown men, brought tears to our eyes, and we turned away with a beating heart.

We passed back through the grounds to notice the buildings. The hospital, a large brick structure fronting northeast, is a three story building, as large again as the Normal School in your city. It contains, at this writing, 600 invilid soldiers, We turned and asked some questions of a man sitting at a window, and remarked, this is a beautiful place. "Yes," he replied, "butl cannot see my eyes are entirely gone." It was saddening amongst so much beauty and grandure. He walked as one dead. The world was rough to him. The grand crowd that had assembled to do honor to the departed soldiers passed not before his eyes. The money which had been expended with such a bountiful hand by the Government brought but little pleasure to him. We passed out, for the sight of the disabled soldiers was more thau we could bear.

We visited next the church, which stands to the Southeast of the hospital, is of stone, a Gothic structure. We were not aware that it was open, and were passing on when we were accosted by a soldier and asked not to pass by without examining the church. It is vaulted like a cathedral, and frescoed in the highest style of art. Above the altar was a P.ible surrounded by a halo of light, and above a dome, with the same effulgent rays. The ground work of the whole church is of a fight drab, which imparted a softened light and solemn air to the whole. The French plate-windows did not glare on the eye, although adorned with many bright colors, the drab of the walls and ceilings softened and tempered the scene. This I am informed is the first and only church in the United States built by Government patronage and it is open to all denominations. Rev. Mr. Henshaw, of the Methodist persuasion presides, at the wish of the majority of the inmates. His residence, a Gothic cottage, stood about a hundred yards in the rear of the church. To the east of the church, stands a two-story square brick building, containing the offices appertaining to the business of the home, with a reception room in the rear. The upper story contains the library and reading room.

The library contains over two thousand volumes, miscellaneous, presented from every State in the Union. Papers of all descriptions were lying on the desks.

We passed hurriedly on, and down to the barracks, which are situated to the south, and back ofthose we have just described. We counted fourteen large buildings, containing about 20 rooms each, aud there were several in the rear which we did not include. We were informed that there were about 1,000 quartered there now.

There was another large refreshment and amusement hall which we did not enter, but passed out to view the grounds.

Landscape gardening has here been brought to perfectiou. Broad graveled drives extend in circles and semi-circles, the ground covered with a closely shaven lawn, planted with every kind of forest and evergreen trees. The grounds are undulating, and the view from the highest points surpasses any of the paintings of theold masters for this was planned,painted and tended by the master hand himself. The city of Dayton lies nestling in a valley, spires shooting through the green of the trees, and rivershowing its sheen through the opening the Insane Asylum and several monkish monasteries crowning the hills on the other side As we passed down a hill, to the eastern side of the grounds, we stood in muto ftdmiration ot* iUo ooana there may be more—springs in the side of the hill, burst out, and running together, formed a miniature lake, with a fountain playing in the center, and white swans floating upon its bosom. Rustic wooden bridges spanned the lake, and summer-houses and pavilions scattered around, made bright by the gayly colored dresses of the ladies and children which were resting therein, added beauty to what was already worthy of a poet's admiration. Turning back, we found by following the drive toward the lake, we had missed what was the gem of the whole. In a bend of the hiil at the side, were the iron springs two of which flow through the natural rock which was ten feet across and are arched on with large ,rock, and planted over with all manner of aqacious flowers, ferns and vines. With a woman's love of flowers and admiration of the beautiful, we .stood on the stone steps transfixed. Spread out before us on our right was the lake be/ore us a flower garden bright with all manner of foliage plants, and on our left the hill rose to the height of twenty feet. Bouldered with the large rocks known as "nigger heads," vines and pines and flowers were here made to represent nature. A Prussian gardner designed the rock work and cared for the flowers. We turned to go, well paid for the few hours we had turned" aside from the glare of cities to thus hold eomranuion with nature, and visit our afflicted soldiers, and drop a tear in honor of the nation's dead. It will well pay visitors to this city to spend a few hours at the Home for I have scarcely conveyed an idea of it to one that has never seen it.

In the afternoou, another procession formed and marched to the cemetery, but the fast ialling showers prevented our going out and the night soon closed on what had been to us a day of days.

ANNIE 15. CAMPBELL

BUTLER, and Morton, and Grant are in despair. The Democracy have declared for universal suffrage, and the Constitution as it is, and refuse to commit any Ku Klux outrages. Governor Alcorn says he can enforce the law in that State, and that the lynching act must not be introduced there. Governor Scott, of South Carolina, says the exConfederate leaders are the best men in the State. They do more to preserve order than the civil authorities, and that he does not want the lynching act enforced as it will incite to lawlessness, and work nothing but mischief. The officers of the army who have been commanded to hunt up Ku Klux have not been able to find any. North Carolina is peace able, and not a case of outrage has been reported by the military.

General Sherman denounces the lynching act in New Oorleans, and Horace Greeley says there is less of disorder and crime in the whole of the Stale of Texas than there is in the city of New York.

What now becomes of the programme laid down by Morton in his speech at Indianapolis for the management of the next Presidential campaign? Grant was on the platform when the speech was delivered, and the plan of battle was announced after consultation with him. Stories of Ku Klux outrages cannot be manufactured when Republican Governors brand them as lies, aud without such stories the party in power cannot be held together. Morton said, in fact, at Indianapolis, that they were the sustenance which kept life iuthe party.— Chicago Times. "7,"T"

GIGANTIC combinations for political and commercial fraud confront us on every hand. They propose to seize the management of great corporations, the control of States—nay, the very destiny of the Republic itself is threatened This is the language of a ^publican newspaper hardly second in to any in the country. Those

combVna-

tions exist, and they have seized the management of the national and many of the State governments. Political rings control Congress. Bondholders,

bankers, railroad meu, and manufacturers hold the national legislature in subjection, and all other classes of men in the country are made to pay tribute to those named. •§s

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

The following conversation recently took place between parties living in this city, and being reported to us, we give it as nearly as possible word for word.

•, FOSTER BROTHERS.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—I saw you with anew dress on the other day as you were passing my house. How much did you pay for it?

•••If

a Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it! Mrs. R.—Perhaps yon saw it at some other place than where I got mine.

Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours? Mrs. R.—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE. Mr.s. B.—Bo you then trade at Foster Brother's I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not? I always buy where I can buy the cheapest, and I am sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit'their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—Butl have" been'told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stuffing you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. B.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, for I am tola that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented

Mrs. R.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut oft' a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in I liappenad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half my moneg. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you aix your money."

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do busiuess. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in every way satisfactory to tiie buyer. No other store in town will do that.

ing. But I have one and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertisne objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken,

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and thpn you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at the door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streets— efforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite elo^dent. I didn't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old stores 20 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are ha in

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New Yors City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place

We submit the above without comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is qnite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she has spoken in our behalf.. F. B.
