Thursday Evening, April 20, 1876.

'ilie Democaatic Convention. The Democratic convention at In. dianapolia yesterday, in point of •umbers was a great success. It is Impossible to say as much for the order that was observed. For a time tne noise would have shame pandemonium. Later however better feeling prevailed and the convention became a quiet and orderly body o^ men bent on chosing a good ticket.

The platform enunciates in the main good and sound Democratic doctrine. We like to hear a Democratic convention declaring in plain language the old doctriue that gold and silver are the true anil safe basis for the currency, and favoriug a pol cy that will produce uniformity in value in the coin and paper money of the country.

The Sherman resumption bill has been a failure and the demand for its repeal is reasonable and right.

The proposal for the retirement of National bank currency will meet with small opposition from any source, and least of all, from the owners of National bank stock. The banks are retiring their circulation voluntarily. The mass of the convention was probably not aware of this fact.

What the GAZETTI likes about James D. Williams or Jim Williams as the people call him, the candidate for Governor, is his rude simplicity. Of course plain habits are not the whole stock in trade for a candidate for Governor, nor sufficient in themselves to qualify a man for the place. It is a personal habit, which does not supply the place of ability to perform the duties of an office. But given ability, and we repeat that plain ess is an admirable quality in public officers at all times, aud especially so nowIJ when a debauched [National administration has been guilty of all sorts of excesses, and set the pattern for a species of shoddy extravagance which it has not beep possible to sustain without knavery. Babcockand Belknap became thieves because Grant encouraged,them in^a style of living which they could not keep up without stealing. They preferred dishonesty to social ostracism, and t.he country knows the result.

We presume it is safe to saj' that "Jim" Williams with his jeans suit, made from the wool of sheep raised on his own farm aud ehorn by himself, with a cob pipe, if he smokes at all, and a habit of walking acquired while following a plow, will carry into the Guber» natonal mansion a style of magnificence akin to that which has made the White House of the Nation a whited sepulchre. A "Jim" Williams type of man at Washington, as Grant's successor, would work a wholesome reform in a matter sadly needing change.

As to his ability, let us consider a moment. He has been at Indianapolis during along series of years as a member of the .Legislature and the Senate. He is said, by his friends, to jbe wonderfully familiar with the history of Indiana, both civil and political. His long service as a legisla. ture has made himi acquainted with the needs of the state and the methods of making change by legislation.

He is generally credited with being a man of rather an unusual endorsement of what .may be called COMMON sense- His stock of uncommon sense is small. He is no speaker, and any one who was in attendance at the convention yesterday and heard the Landers men bellowing like the bulls of Bashan, will consider the lack of that faculty as an especial blessing.

He is a shrewd, careful, hardworking business man. He is a wealthy man. He made his money by the labor of a life time on a farm» and every acre of the broad aud yearly widening farm that he owns has been fructifyed by his diligent and skillful labor. For our part we like rich men who have made their money by careful and patient industry. He is an HONEST man, or at any rate has borne that reputation for a life time. With fuch a man at the head of the ticket success is deserved

THE Plan and not Landers gui

to have dependents.

Qtg

WHAT in the world, we should like to a9h, are these great independent outpourings of the discontented philosophers of the future for,if not to be the cats-paws of hog-stickers of the Landers stripe? Landers was only in his old busisess when he dallyed with the clans of "The Plan," and it war, as he supposed, his best day's work when he stuck his knife into "The Plan," and impaled that interterestiDg three hundred pounder on the point thereof.

FEAXK LANDERS was beaten yesterday at Indianapolis and he deserved it. When an ignorant dolt like Landers takes to imitating Tallyrand and writing letters to conventions which the people, interpret as an acceptauceof a nomination which be at the eleventh hour says vraa not: it is time for him *'tc get him to a nunnerj.

AND now the Express has turued and begun to rend Landets and all because of the trivial offense of sel ling them out.

THE Iudedendents are welcome Landers.

Oneida, Ills., April 19 Last night John Burgeson and ErricHinde, in a fit of drunken rage, drove Mrs. Burgeson, the wife of the former, from the house, and in the most cruel man ner murdered her son, a boy about five years old, bruising the body hor ribly and fracturing the skull in seven places. Both have been committed, and there is much excitement over the deed.

FREEBOOTERS ROB A BANK. Fort Scott, Kas.,- April 1!).—^ special from Baxter Springs, Kas says that at about 10 o'clock this morning, two men entered the Bax ter bank, presented a pistol at the head of the cashier, went through the safe, aud escaped into the Indian Territory with $3,000. Officers and a number of citizens are in close pursuit.

THE LABOR RIOTS.

Cincinnati April 19.—The Gazette's Charleston, West Virginia, special to-night says The trouble at Brownstown have not ended, and the negroes have not gone away as previously reported. Last evening the rioters went the office of Contractor Dull and notified him that unless the negioes were sent away the rioters would hang every negro and himself with him. Dull went to Charleston and asked aid of the authorities, and the sheriff and 100 citizens returner! to Brownstown this afternoon. No further advices have been received from the scene of distuvbevnoo.

FATAII ACCIDENT.

Louisville, Ky., April 19—David R. Young, for forty years a respected resident of Lonieuille, was fatally inr jured here to-day by George W.Levi, chief of the fire department.

Young was knocked senseless and is not expected to recover. The accident has produced considerable excitement here.

Since Saturday evening, when the Emperor oi' Braail arrived in this city, he has dope a good week's work at sight-seeing. After the fatiguing round of Sunday, he was up at six o'clock Monday morning, aud before 7 o'clock was away from the hotel in company with Minister Borges. Their destination was Roboken, tho Minister wishing to show the^ Emperor the elevator used in conveying the cars of tbe West Hoboken and Hudsan City

Horse Car line over the high bluffs ol Hoboken Obeying the Emperor's standing orders, "Go quick," the coachman was scudding his horses down Sixth avenue towards the Christopher Street Ferry, when a Knickerbocker ice-cart, coming down Nineteenth street, struck the coach and things became mixed. The icecart came out of tho scrimmage with out much harm, but the carriage was thrown off the axles and splintered badly and all its occupants were thrown out on the pavement. The police rushed up and found nobody hurt bevond a few bruises. The Einperor was not even bruised, and seemed anxious only about a new conveyance, which was soon called and rattled oil to Hoboken. Thelincliried plane, built from designs by General McCiellan, which conveys crowded horse cars with perfect safety and rapidity up an ascent of twenty-five or thirty degrees, was narrowly inspected. The Einperor took passage on one of the cars, paying bis fare like a properly conducted citi/.9n, and enjoyed the sensation of a ride through the air to the hill-top. Having accomplished this be rode down again, making at top and bottom uurt all nloug & carcful observation ol this very convenient engineering work, tho want ol some*. thinK similar being much felt in some of tho Brazilian towns. He returned to the city without much delay, and, on passing the Elevated Koaa on

Greenwich street, stopped his coach for a time to see a train pass along overhead, saying that he should like to ride iu it. On driving-home he orordered a circuitous route that lie might see as much of the city and its buiidiugs as possible. He did not arrive at his hotel until after 9 o'clock, and having roused a good appetite by bis Hobokeu excursion proceeded lo satisfy, it at breakfast.

Meanwhile.a company of gentlemen were waiting to pay their respects and perform their duties as committee of the citizens at large to show His Majesty the city's public buildings. Among the gentlemeu were Governor Tilden, Mayor Wickham. John Jay, ex-Minister to Vienna,Theo. B. Roosevelt, President Wm. Wood, of the Board of Education, Alex. McL. Agnew, School Inspector Fifth District smi-LS. Tarjbell. School Trustee, of the Eighteentn~\vhra.~r»rt5»«-roiov-^.«., delegation was received, and the Emperor said be was ready to go to the schools. The Normal College was mentioned, but he^said he preferred to gq, to the «'low down" schools, where the whole people are taught. In accordance with this wi^h, School No. 14, in East twenty-seventh street, near Fourth avenue* was driven to, and thoroughly inspected. But Com mis sioner JVood, in whose eyes the Nor mal College is the most important ob ject in the wholo school system, was determined to get Dom Pedro to visit it, and smuggle him in via the Training-School, which having seen, he was led through into tho college proper.

The Horrible Indians.

Omaha, April 16. —An official telegram to Gen. Crook from Fort Lara mie, yesterday, conveys the informa tion that no Indians have left either Red Cloud or Spotted Tail agencies with their families since tho fight with Crazy Horse, on Powder river. A few men went out to bring in their own people, and Bome of them have returned accompanied by northern Sioux. The Cheyennes at Red Cloud are alarmed, and talk of going south. The indications are that the threshing given Crazy Horse has affected the Ogalallas so favorably that they will likely keep quiet. Major Jordan is of the opinion that three hundred Ogalallas would go with an expedition against the northern Indians if they were allowed to keep what they captured. Northern Sioux have stolen their stock lately. The Indians at the agency, are remarkably docile, and but few miners have been killed near the hills lately.

Governor Tilden spoke a few words to the school, commending it upon the excellent work accomplished and the justification he had received by personal inspection of the many flattering reports he had heard of the institution. The Emperor made no speech, but said to the committee that be had never anticipated anything of the sort. The fourth grade passed down into the calisthenium, and gave to the imperial gu69t an exhibition of light gymnastics. The gills had meantime returned to their studies, and into the lecture room Dom Pedro went. Professor Gillette was lecturing on carbon, and the .committee began to fear that the Emperor would stay the lecture out, so interested had he bocome in listening to the answers of the pupils. In Professor Day's room he heard a recitation on the action of tho heart, and nodded approvingly as correct answers were rendered. In the drawing room he looked over the sketches.of the girls.

some time last week Mr. T. W.Bartley, of tbis city, appeared before your committee aud detailed rumors under both affecting my official integrity. This witness is represented as having sworn, upon information and belief, in substance, that while I was United Strtes District Attorney, lor tho district of Kentucky, a number of distillers were seized at my instance, and that soon after, upon an offer of a large sum ol money, I resigned and procured he appointment of my assistant, Col.

Whcrton. As my successor, he became the counsel for thgse distillers, and in accordance with the terms of an alleged agreement, procured the release of their property. It is difficult to credit the statement that an officer of the government, who could be reached by your committee in a few minutes, should be allowed to remain in ignorance of the exact character of such evidence for nearly a week, and that no opportuuity to meet charges of so serious a nature should be afforded him. In the absence of any definite information from vour committee in regard "to what the witness really stated under oa*h, and without reference to tho alleged denial of these statements by another witnes-, I must promptly meet the slander, as I find it in public prints, even at the risk of appearing to reflect upon tbe methods of your committee. The story whether testified to by Mr. Bartley or any one else before your committee, is absolutely and unqualifiedly IVlse. I trust youi commiwe will recognize tbe propriety of giving me an opportunity to meet this baseless slander promptly, and for this purpose I request that the court, including the juJge thereof, be brought before your committee and subjected to public examination, touching all matters alleged by the witness in question, either by a distinct sts'0tneut or inuendo, and if need be, tnai the records of the court be examined for the purpose of showing that no such cases existed at least that I had no connection with any such, Furthermore, 1 claim the right to be beard personalis before your committee, under oath, thouching all matters referred to by any f-the witnesses who have been examined on this subject,
