democracy vcitsi s mi: hm e.
If there Iio nny soliliors in Gre?no
County vlio.o iniuds hitherto have
been so biased that they could not see
that tlio Democratic party was inimi
cal to their claims, we aslc their candid
attention whilst we analyze the vote of
that party on Saturday lust:
For the ollice of Assemblyman,
there were five candidates. Two of
them never performed any military
service, and during the late war of
the rebellion, opposed almost every
measure and every net winch the
friends of the Union army proposed,
cither for its encouragement, its com
fort or its success. True, these two
have been loyal to their party, but to
their party only, and abjectly thus.
Tho other three had worn the Blue
and had done'actual service, in person,
for their country and their country's
cause, on the ensanguined fields of bat
tle". One did distinguished service as an
army Surgeon, and, doubtless, many a
living brave, this tlaj owes his life
to his skill and attention. One, by
his exalted patriotism and heroism,
won for himself the proud position of
Captain of his company, shedding his
blood profusely and receiving wound j
that have seriously crippled him for
life. The other was a Lieutenant and
was taken a prisoner. This, in brief,
is thc status of the five candidates in
relation to the late war for the Union,
. and be belie vo fairly stated.
No one, wo presume, will have the
unblushing hardihood, to assert any
superiority of qualification of the two
citizens over the three soldiers, cither
in respect to integrity, respectability,
or intellectual sagacity.
Now, in what estimation are these
men held by tho Democratic party
that falsely and perfidiously styles
itself the soldiers' friend? Let the
vote of last Saturday give tho emphat
ic answer. So far as there seemed to
be any actual contest, it lay between
the two anti-war men, both of whom
more than distanced cither of the
"Boys in Blue." Disguise it as you
may, it was this military feature that
made up tho exclusive issue in the
race. It has been Cvcr thus in Dem
. ocratic Greene siuco the war Wgan.
The Court House Clique, the Knights
of tho Golden Circle, tho White Boys
and the Ku Klux Klan, nil preferring
the Rebel Gray to the Union Blue and
taking their cue from tho teachings of
. the La Omsc Democrat havo said in
their nightly conclaves, "let it -bo so,"
and behold, it is so! Look at it!
We ask every soldier in Greene County
to view it mith an impartial eye. Scan
! it closely; fathom it !
-'i- In Greene county, where a nomina
" tlon ia equivalent to an election no
volunteer soldier stands a shadow of
a chance for office.' "They havo set
the ban upon the Blue and sealed it
I- there. . They pyant only tho poor pre
r rogative of belonging to tho party and
Voting with it, and ask of you to cou-
Bidcr this as a privilege rather than a
- right; and require of you a hearty
, oondemnation of . your own gallant
deeds and a humiliating apology for
having performedhem. Your military
. glory is their shame. "
(.', TJio three soldier candidates on Sat
urday last received very few votes,
save from personal friends and reln
C tivca, beyond what were polled by their
1 comrades in arms. One of them has
nul undo two honest but unsuccessful
ellbrts to obtain n recognition of his
just claims, and we trust that ho nn I
the other gallant soldiers who expect
to act with tho Democratio party will
he content with unohtrusivo privacy,
for ho who docs not perceive nfld
recognize tho glaring truth, that
having been a Union soldier, is an
impediment to Democratio prefer
ment, is either blind or determined uot
to look !

Il.UI.UOAI.
Telegraphic dispatches report the
completion of GOO miles of the Union
Pacific Itailroad. Tho rapidity with
which this railroad has been construct
ed is without precedent in all tho his
tory of railroad enterprises. Two
years ago, only 40 miles had been
built, nnd yet, nt tho close of the
working season of 1G7, 510 miles
were inactivcoperation. Through the
winter months an accumulation of ma
terial for extending tho road gave
promise of renewed vigor this year,
and tho fact that (JO miles have been
built and. equipped since the frost was
so Jin out of the ground as to admit
of track laying, shows that that prom
ise will he fulfilled. An immense
force of laborers about ten thousand
men is at work under skillful leader
ship, and before tho end of tho season,
at least 3T0 more miles will be added
to the completed distance," There will
then be finished more than 900 miles
west from Omaha, or moro than one
half the distance to Sacramento. The
summit of the iJocky Mountains, tho
liighest point upon the entire line, has
been surmounted and left in tho rear
by tho builders, and tho industrial
inny is now on the western slope
toward the Great Salt Lake.
Tho Union Pacific Itailroad Com
pany, which are doing this great work,
are ollcring for sale their First Mort
gage Bonds at par nnd accrued interest
from January 1st, in currency. They
are for $1,000 each, have thirty years
to run, pay six per cent, gold interest,
nnd principal as well a3 interest is
bio in gold. Thcso Bonds nrc
issued only as the road progresses.
The government loans, to aid in build
ing the road, United States Bonds to
thi! following amounts: $?lo,ljO0 per
mile from the Missouri to the Itocky
Mountains, a distance of about 520
miles: $48,000 per mile for tho 150
miles through tho mountains, nnd
52,000 per milo thereafter. ThcCom
Daiiv are then authorized to issue their
own Bonds to an equal amount, and
no more. JJurnisc last vcar, about
twelve million dollars of thcso Bonds.
were sold, based upon tho number of
miles completed. 1 ho entire line to
the Pacific will be completed in 1870,
when tho trafiic and profit of tho road
must be immense.
Tho Company's Bonds have unusual
provisions for security. The charter
granted by Congress makes them a
I'ini Mort'aie upon tho entire lino,
taking precedence even of the govern
ment's claim, tho latter holding a
second lien as security for its advance.
The receipts from way business already
show a remarkably successful operation
ol the lino. During the eight months
ending December 151, 1 807, the net
earnings were more than three times
the interest upon the Company's Bonds,
and tho trafiic must be greatly increased
as the road progresses.

On Tuesday the 22d inst., the Court
of Impeachment met and voted on the
2d aud 3d articles with tho game re
sult as tho vote on the 11th article,
andadjourncdai'ne dir. In a legal sense,
Andrew Johnson is therefore virtually
acquitted of tho charges preferred
against him. But it is noticeable, and
the people will mark it, that while 1!)

viction". The people will also note
the fact that it required just 10 votes
to acquit and the cruci number, and
no more, were found; and the people
will require Messrs. Trumbull, Fow
ler, Henderson, Van Winkle and Ross
to reconcile their votes on tho final
issue, with tho untiring influence they
previously exerted to have articles of
impeachment preferred. The people
arc a tribunal to which this question
is now appealed, and of which it does
not require a two-third vote to secure
a righteous verdict.

. Cincinnati, O.
May, 27th, 13G7.
Dn.vn RnrrnucAX: In my last
I promised to write of tho two Con
ventions held in Chicago lost week. I
feel now that all I could say Mipou the
subject would bo superfluous. The
.laily panel's have already enlightened
yon, in full and elaborate reports, of
their harmonious workings nnd the
enthusiasm which characterized them.
Corroboration by an eye witness will
uanllv intensity.
On tho niirht of tho 21st I "scatter
ed" and by dint of rough riding, the
next evening reached Lincinnati eight
hours behind time, having narrowly
escaped running into a wrecked train
forty miles out from Chicago, llus
was delay No. 2, but for fear of losing
count I, perhaps, had best make no
note of it. Down through Indiana
the Convention Was much talked of and
seemed to give universal satisfaction,
uot only among J ndiaiuuus but numer
ous expressions from men representa
tives ol all parts of tho Union.
At some points shouts for Grant . and
Colfax greeted tho arrival of tho train,
guns were fired nnd various demon
strations of joy made. The unanimity
with which Grant was chosen has but
one precedent in the history of our
country ami tho settled stale of politics
since bis nomination makes his elec
tion almost n foregone conclusion.
Schuyler Colfax his worthy associate
is said to be, by those who know him,
emphatically the right man in the
place Of Rads radical, wit fanatical,
linn yet mild mannered. His record
is irreproachable. It is not strange,
then, the great West will roll up
formidable majorities for their champi
ons and that Copperhead faces have
begun to assume the elongated shapes
of 'G5. There remains no cause now,
why they should not open a fire in Jhc
rear. "Tho illustrious-conscrvative-
soldier" phraso will be apt to bo dis
carded by conservative iournals ' in
referring to Grant in the future and I
think they should bo well satisfied by
this time that "tho radicals will touch
him with a forty-foot polo." Hot shot
and shell is nothing compared with
the political bombardment tho Demo
cratio party will receive this summer
nut it the gnus of (Iio Union are not
effective, it is not because there nrc not
elliccient crews to work them, for I
can assure you tho old soldiers will
man the pieces and all that will bo
required is tho hearty support of those
citizens of the North who gave them
eomtortand aid (lurmr tho rebellion.
Let us hope that all who considered
tho crisis vital in 'Gl will again rally
to a common standard to battle for a
similar end the saving of tho nation
from traitor hands. But, politicstisidc
for a short time.
If I spoke disparagingly before of
the middle nnd upper part of the State
ol Indiana, I can perhaps make amend:!
by paying humble tribute to tho south
ern end which 1 passed tlirouoii. i no
branch of tho road which leaves the
Chicago and Great Eastern at Hagcrs
town and winds down the valleys of
tho White nnd Miami rivers to the
( linn within iliiflnon miloq nf Pinom.
nati, passes through a country well
.settled and developed, nnd possessed
ill appearance and quality of every
1 '
clement conducive to husbandry and
nccccssarily of wealth, lamia arc
clean looking, generally speaking the
farm houses nnd out-buildings good.
Many broad acres aro turned up by
the plow. Wheat stands thick nnd
rank, outs well up and tho corn has
pushed itself out of ground. To my
inquiries concerning the fruit I receiv
ed cheering nnswers. The valley
seemed very Elysian for the husband
man. I made no note of any mineral
resources, but for excellent timber
there seemed to bo a good demand nnd
no end to tho supply. Nearinsr tho
ity of Cincinnati from tho South,
skirting the shores of the Ohio, my
attention was attracted by the vine
yards' for which this country has a
notoriety. I hey have a flourishing
appearance and from tho number of
lino resiliences attached to them I
imagine the owners arc well-to-do in
the business. The southern slopes of
the Ohio valley arc well adapted to
tlio cultivation of tlio crape. In the
city there arc not many lions to "do."
I visited the water-works, crossed the
great suspensions bridge I believe
tho largest span in the United States,
went to the Art Gallery, visited the
races, now in full blast, looked into
their rolling oiills and founderics, etc.,
but found nothing that would especi
ally interest your readers. The boating
interest at present is dead, and but fbr
tho prizo fight between Coburn and
McCoole, which comes off to-day,
there would bo no ripple on tho sur
face of every-day affairs. This last
has attracted to the city an immense
concourse of roughs and bullies from
all sections of tho nation much to the
chagrin of peaceable citizens and the
shame of the law. Local politics have
cooled down since the Convention is
over and Impeachment subsided, and
on Change, appearances are for the
better. Of the city itself my impres
sions are good. Though shorn of its
prestige by the collapse of tho cotton
trade it still manages to keep above
water and with its suburban villages
presents one of tho most picturesque
and attractive localities I ever saw.
Of tho manners' and customs of its
residents there aro no poculiartics to be
pointed out from those of other great
oitics, yet I imagine tho free and easy
Germans, if transported suddenly into
our quiet rural retreats in Pennsylva
nia, would make a commotion among
Good Templars and religious denomi
nations who nro zealous in their ob
servance of the Sabbath day. It is
not imfrcquent to hear full bands of
brass musio at the head of corcrcously
decorated wagons in processions, filled
witn gaily attired men, women, boys
"SiicpicbHcau, 1l2c&ueoban, 3unc 3, ISOS.
and girls, mingling their notes with
tho chimes of tlio church bells as they
parade tho streets preparatory to
spending a Sabbath in tho country.
They choose that day especially for
pic-nie'oxeur.sioas, riding, driving and
the indulgmco of a gala tiiiw. In
the evening their he?rgard nt roio.ui I

I nm almrvit inelinsd. to think with
Bayard Taylor lhat true happiness is

When one commits a palpable
wrong, nothing can relievo him of the
odium till he goes on the stool
of repentance and makes a clean breast
of it in honest confession. To attempt
to explain it away, is only adding in
sult to injury and damaging the cause.
Senator Ross occupied an hour of tlio
Sciiafo on Wednesday in a fruitless en
deavor to explain his vote on im
peachment. I lis excuses were so tri
vial, his professions so vaguo and his
pralo 'of conscience so empty, that
it all only serves to confirm and deep
en tho public conviction, H3 own
admission self-condemns him, ami he
has, doubtless, already realized that a
rogue's profbundest wisdom consists in
maintaining silenco; for ho who takes
a bribe will falsely swear.

Wasiiixotox, May 29. The Sen
ate in Executive session to-day re
sumed the consideration of the nomi
nation of General Scoffield to be Sec
retary of War. The debate was con
lined to the preamble and resolution
introduced yestenhly, as follows:
Wiieueas, The order of the Presi
dent removing Secretary Stanton from
oliico was unconstitutional and illegal,
but on account of Mr. Stanton having
on Tuesday relinquished said office,
therefore
Resolved, That the Senate do nd
visc and consent to the nppointment of
Gen. Scoi'licld.
There was not a full Senate, but the
parties separated on the preamble as
they did on the impeachment articles,
while the vote on tho resolution itself
was without such distinction. . Both
the preamble and resolution were adop
ted, and therefore Gan. Seolliold is
confirmed ns Secretary of War.
The terms of the seven Republican
Senators voting "not guilty" on the
eleventh article of impeachment expire
as follows: Fesscndcn, of Maine, 1871:
Fowler of Tennessee, 1871 ;Grimcs, of
Iowa, 2871 ; Henderson, of Missouri,
18G9 j Ross, of Kansas, 1871 ; Trum

A Dispatch from Iiako City, Fla,
says that a few days ago nearly two
acres of ground, on a farm in Hamil
ton county, suddenly sank to a depth
of fifty feet from tho surface of the
surrounding land, filling with water
and submerging the tallest trees. It
is still sinking, and the area now covers
four acres.
Ex-Governor Hawley, of Connec

Convention, formally notified Gen.
Grant and Mr. Colfax of the action of
that body in nominating them for the
Presidency and vice Presidency. They

Philadelphia, May 27, 18G3.
To the Votersof l'ennxylcunla:
The National Convention of the
Republican party, with a unanimity
and enthusiasm unprecedented, has
nominated candidates for President
and Vieo President and announced the
principles upon which they appeal to
too people lor support. As to tho
individuals selected no word of com
mendation is necessary. Their deeds
form a part of tho history of tho coun
try. No matter who tho candidates jn
opposition in ay be, they must represent
on organization that was unfaithful to4
alio country in tho hour of its direst
t peril ami false to liberty and tlio rights
of man.
For four years tho Rpublio slrwk
with tho tread of armed men in n
struggle to dctcrmino whether tho will
of tho majority constitutionally ex
pressed should bo the law of tho land
till changed in the mode prescribed by
tho organized law. In that struggle
threo thousand millions of treasure
were wasted three hundred thousand
hero-martyrs found in our ransomed
soil their graves, and sorrow sits to
day at almost every fireside, mourning
the iinretiirning brave.
This waste of treasure and legacy of
woo was cause I by tho minority, in a
fair election, refusing to submit to tho
will of the majority constitutionally
expressed. Suspended on tho issue
bung the life of the republic and the
hopes of mankind.
The only political organization to
give aid, sympathy, and encourage
ment to that minority in its attempt to
dismember the Republic and thus
destroy our liberties, was the party
calling itself Democratic. At its last
National Convention, while half a
million of men were in arms for the
overthrow of tho Government, it de
clared tho war for tho Union a failure,
and demanded nn immediate cessation
of hostilities.
"Wo wTiiHkrl toHplUoonrnnnHwhrn tht'fon

nwiiy,
To take down tho protid niitno ottr tmllon hud

And Hti-lknlnr hruvajlrd from III homo In the
Mill," "
Had tho policy of the Democratic
party been successful, tho genius ol
impartial history would havo written
on the tombstone ol tho present gener
ntiou an epitaph of indelible, unlading
and endless disgrace that it preferred
tho Republic should die rather than
cndiiro tho sacrifices necessary for it
to live.
The men and tho party that saved
the Government in war can preserve
and protect it in peace. Tho great
captain of tho ago will lead the loyal
hosts of the Republic to victory in
November next, ns be led its armies at
D.melsnn, V leksburg and Appomat
tox Court House.
Republicans of tho Keystone State,
efficient organization secures certain
victory. Your party in its infancy
saved the territories of the Union from
the blight and curseof liinnau bondage,
and consecrated them forever to free
homes and freo men. In its early man
hood it has grappled and crushed the
most gigantic conspiracy ever formed
for tho destruction of liberty and free
government. Treachery of public ser
vants or apostasy of trusted leaders
cannot stay its onward inarch.
With truth and justice for weapons
and tho hearts of the people for n
bulwark, iflruo to yourselves, a certain
victory awaits you,
