WHY SAT ORSAXI7.INOT
The above question from an ex
change is equally pertinent in this
locality. We have frequently been
called upon of late to answer the
question why the Republican County
Committee are not at work organizing
the party for the great battle which is
approaohing. We wouhl like to be
able to answer the question, but have
not received sufficient information
from the Committee to justify us in so
doing. We are fully impressed with
the importance of immediate and
thorough organization of the party as
any one in the county, but at the same
time are as much required to await the
Committee's aetion'os any other mem
bcr 6f the party who is not a member
of the Committee. We believe with
the musses of the party that organiza
tion should be effected at once, and
that it is the duty of the County Com
rxnttee to superintend the same.
Committees are simply ridiculous
appendages to a party if tho only duty
they regard themselves appointed to
perform is to call a Convention onoe or
twice a year. The Republicans of this
county want demand organization.
Will their County Committee, appoint
ed to inaugurate and superintend the
same, proceed to action ? Organization
mast be had, and that quickly.
The managers investigating com
fnittee will report this week on the
charge of bribery in the impeachment
business. Great difficulty has been
experienced in getting witnesses to an
swer it summons. As a general thing
they are taken "suddenly ill," and
send a surgeon's certificate of disabili
ty instead of appearing personally.
Oh I tho gentle "Democracy!" who
love rum and office but get most of the
former. "

On Monday of last week a special
election was held in the Athens and
Gallia Judicial district in Oh io, for an
additional Judge, and the Republican
candidate had a majority of 1,816,
being a gain of 227 on the vote of
October last. Tho four counties of
this district give about 20,000 votes,
quite as many as the entire State of
Oregon. This is another wave ot the
re-re-action that has set in since last
fall election. Cops must stand from

THE DUTY OF THE DEMOCRATIC
TY IX A CERTAIN EVENT.
PAR-
Suppose that contrary to the wish
of some of the leading Radical Black
Republicans, who want the office them
selves, General Grant should be nomi
nated for tho Presidency by the
Republican party, what course ought
the Democratic party to pursue?
Ought we to nominate a man in opposi
tion to General Grantt Ought toe to
charge him with being an enemy to hit
country, or in favor of unjust measure
merely because he may have received said
nominationf
We are inclined to believe that
more depends upon General Grant now,
than upon any other individual in the
United States. We believe him to be
far superior to tlie majority of tlie far
sighted politicians who have been ruling
the nation without bringing peace or
economy to our legislation. He is
known to the people as A STRAIGHT
FORWARD MAN, and so far as can
be judged a man veil disposed to deal
fairly with thepeogle of all sections of
the Union. Certainly if such a man
were nominated by the Democratic
party, we would advocate his election in
the hope that his election would con
duce to the public welfare. The
question is, then, if he is nominated
by the Republican party, whether we
shall as a party oppose his election t
In the first place, if the people gen
erally believe Gen. Grant to bo the
man we think he is, ?io individual in
the United States could command a
corporal's guard of rotes against him
ON ANY PLEA WHATEVER.
In the second place, it would bo unjust
and very miurious action lor our
Democratic leaders to attempt to place
f the Democratic party in a false position
before the world, representing thera
as enemies or opponents of Gen. Grant.
n hat better thing can we (torn case of
General Grant's nomination bu the
Renublican nartu than to VOTE FOR
HIM FOR THE PRESIDENCY?
Our aimshoiUdbetostrenothen his hands:
to render him as much as possible inde
pendent ot party and to kLfcAJl
HIM AS THE PRESIDENT OF
THE PEOPLE. If unanimously, so
much the better.
We solemnly believe that if the
people generally of the United States
can come together with real unanimity
on General Urant, in regard to the
Presidency, it will be the HAPriEST
THING FOll OUR COUNTRY THAT COULD
possibly occur. The future good
effects of this course are almost incal
culable. We earnestly ask our Dem
ocratic friends everywhere to consider
this subject carefully.
THE 'HA.SE MOVEMENT.
A late dispatch says, a number of
Pennsylvania politicians are now in
Washington prospecting for the nomi
nation of Chief Justice Chase. As
part of the movement, the following
circular calling a meeting of thcfriemls
in Philadelphia is interesting:
Philadelphia, May 28, 1868.
Dear Sir : You are hereby respectful
ly requested to meet a few of the
friends of Chief Justice Chase on the
tenth of June, 1868, at noon, at the
Continental Hotel, in this city, for
tho purpose of taking into considers
tion the propriety ot presenting lus
name as a candidate for President of
the United States.
Very respectfully, Signed. John
Welch, Wm. F. Johnston, John W.
Frazicr.
Messrs. Welch and Frazicr who
signed this letter are tho parties to
whom tho Chief Justice recently, as
they report, said he was in the hands
of his friends. Ihey and Mr. John
son are members of the great Demo
cratic club of Philadelphia, ot which

There are worse men than the Chief
Justice and none stronger aspiring for
the Democratic nomination, but he
nor "any other man" has business in
the field against Grant.

Washington, June 2, 1868. The
election of Sayles J. Bowen, the Rad
ical candidate for Mayor, has com
pletely consternated the returned reb
els, the Copperheads, and the whisky
ring; and the way the news Mas
finally ascertained was a caution to the
confidence, men of tho Democracy.
Nearly all last night they made the
town hideous with their yells of victo
ry. Tremeudous exertions had been
niado to defeat Bowen. The whole
power of the Administration was put
forth, and great sums of money were
expended. Tho registers appointed
by the Republican court of the Dis
trict all turned against Bowen, and
chopped off hundreds of Republicans
from the registry. The regular sol
diers of the 12th Regiment, Colonel
Wallace commanding, were duly voted
for the rebel ticket, in direct violation
of law ; and as usual the Irish citi
zens were rallied in a body for Given,
the Democratic caudidate, an old
"Know-Nothing" politician. About
11 o clock Bowen was counted out,
and then began a scene of rare devili
try. It seemed as if the very fiends
had been let loose, and nobody could
tell who the beauties were. It did not
need the constant playing of "Dixie"
to show that most of them had served
in the rebel army. They visited and
insulted tho Republican Senators,
threatened the Chronicle office, and
acted generally like demons. Their
candidate, Mr. Given, made a fiery
Copperhead speech ; but at 1 o'clock
A. Al. the scene was changed, and tins
morning Bowen is elected by 74. Tho
presence of a large numl)er of Rep.ub-
icans and a strong police force, no
doubt prevented the Chronicle office
from being gutted. Nothing can sur
pass the chagrin of the rebels, especially
since Bowen is known to have been
elected notwithstanding their great
expense to defeat him. Their violent
and vulgar rejoicing have a comical
side since the light of another day has
shone forth. Undoubtedly the courts
will decide that the regular soldiers
had no right to vote. This will give
the Republicans complete control of
the city government.
Ureat enthusiasm prevails to-night
among the Republicans here. During
the evening from five to ten thousand
persons gathered about the Clironidc
office. The building was brilliantly
lluminatcd.
In response to the loud and repented
calls of immense assemblage, Colonel
1 orney delivered an address ot about
half an hour's length. He spoke amid
the most hearty and tumultuous cheers.
No such demonstration has ever
been witnessed in the national capital.
After the speech tho throng formed
into a procession and visited tho Mayor
elect, who spoke to them in his own
brief style.
Ihey then proceeded to the residen
ces of several Congressional friends
and paid their respects.
J he colored participants had dis
played on their hats the full Republi
can ticket, on which was also printed
the American flag. Ihey marched in
platoons of four abreast, and tho pro
cession extended several squares in
length.
WAsniwro.s-, June 2, 1808. lhe
excitement occasioned by tho election
yesterday was greatly increased this
morning by the conflicting statements
published in the papers regardinqr
the result. The Copperheads claimed
the election of their candidate, Mr.
Given, by a small majority, and last
night, or rather until an early hour
this morning, no one disputed it. They
built bonfires, fired salutes, serenaded
their candidate, in response to which
he made a speech foreshad owing the
policy of his administration, and alto
gether enjoyed themselves to the fullest
extent under the belief that they had
succeeded. The Republican voters,
with a few exceptions, particularly
the colored men, vacated the streets
early at night, and gave their oppo
nents full sway. An immense mass
meeting assembled in front of the
City Hall, at which cheers for Jeff
Davis and Andrew Johnson were fre
quently given, and the returned rebel
soldiery of the District apparently
had complete control. Bricks and
stones were thrown and pistols fired
at the statue of Mr. Lincoln, which
stands in front of the City Hall, and
his memory was' insulftd in many
ways. Only rebels ana their pro
slavery admirers would insult it. Pro
cessions paraded the streets, halting in
front of the residences of prominent
Radical Congressmen to cheer for
Johnson, Davis and Given, and to
groan for Congress and the Radicals.
The city, in fact, was rife for a bloody
riot, and the absence of colored men
from the streets was tho oaly thing
that prevented a terrible outbreak.
It was not until half-past two or
three o'clock this morning that the
returns from all of the thirty-five
precincts were received and made pub
lic, and even then the boisterous crowds
of rebels and Copperheads refused to
believe them, but continued their
noisy demonstrations until daybreak,
In front of the Chronicle office, and
particularly in front of Senator Wade's
residence, they assembled more fre
quently than at any other point except
their own headquarters. The police
authorities were obliged to send spe
cial details to these points, and by the
most vigilant exertion probably saved
the Cftroniole office from being gutted.
This morning the news rapidly spread
that Bowen, the Radical candidate,
was elected br a small maiontv. lhe
chagrin of the riotous Conservatives
can be easier imagined than describ
ed. Their candidate had made his
speech thanking them for their suc
cessful labors, and tliey had in the
enthusiasm of suBBosed victory exposed
their triM aaatimtnta of admiration
'THepicbiican, 'TSebncsbay, 55unc 10, 1808,
and respect for Andy Johnson, Jeff
Davis and other traitors, and the
revolution came so suddenly that they
were taken back aghast and breathless.
The offieial count shows that Bowen,
the Radical candidate for Mayor, re
ceived seventy-four majority. The
Conservatives have carried four wards
of the city, giving them the majority in
the lower board of the City Councils, but
in t!.e upper board, in consequence of
Republican aldermen holding over,
there will be a tie that is if the
colored aldermen elected from the First
ward are held to be eligible. Tlie act
of Congress recently passed, extending
the charter, does not really mako the
colored citizen eligible to a seat in the
City Councils, though it qualifies him
for any office in the appointment of
tho Mayor and Councils. The second
section of this act provides that no
person shall be regarded as incompe
tent to hold any non-elective office, or
be disqualified therefrom, who is a
qualified elector in this district. It is
held, however, by tho Republicans
that tho point in question is covered
by Mr. Sumner's bill striking out tho
word "white" from the charter. The
question has never been decided by
the Senate whether this latter bill
became a law or not, and it is now
before the Judiciary Committee. Mr.
Trumbull, it is sail!, is prqpnred to
report favorably upon the construction
that it is a law, and should ho do so,
the colored men elected to the Council
from the First ward will probably
secure their seats. Tho question to
be settled regarding this law arises
from the fact that the President did
not approve or veto it during the ten
days allowed by the Constitution for
Executive consideration, and that the
ten days expired during a recess of
both houses. To-night tho Republicans
are celebrating their hard earned vic
tory with double gusto and most in--
tensceiithusiasm. iheyhaveserenaded
Mr. Bowen and both the CiromWeand
llenublican offices: in short, instead
of cheers for Jelf Davis and Johnson,
the city re-echoes again and again with
the applause of Congress and its Rad
ical friends. Tho total voto polled
was 20,631 about four thousand moro
than at any previous election in tho
city. It is understood that tho Re
publicans propose to contest the election
m the Fifth ward, on tho ground that
soldiers' and sailors' votes, some one
hundred and fifty in all, were illegally
received. It is stated, also, that the
election of Mr. Bowen will bo con
tested by the Conservatives, on the
ground ot illegal votes cast for him.
To-day Mr. Edmunds introduced
the following joint resolution, which
was referred to tho Coram itteo on the
Judiciary :
llciokcd', That the States of Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, 1' londa, Alabama, Mississip
pi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas,
respectively, shall not bo entitled to
representation in the Electoral College
for the choice ot 1 resident or ice
President of tho United States, and no
electoral votes shall bo received or
counted from any of such respective
States unless at the tiino prescribed by
law for the choice of electors the peo
ple of such State shall, pursuant to
the acts of Congress in that behalf,
have, since the 8th day of March,
1867, adopted a constitution of State
government under which a State gov
ernment shall have been organized nnd
shall be in peaceful operation, and such
State shall also have become entitled
to representation in Congress pursuant
to tho acts of Congress in that behalf.
Tho subcommittees of the National
Republican Committee, having in
charge tho supervision of tho Presi
dential campaign in tho Eastern States,
mi t to-day, Messrs. Clalhn ot Massa
chusetts, Greeley of New York, Stark
weather of Connecticut, and Chandler,
of New Hampshire being present.
Without accomplishing any dchnite
result, they adjourned to meet in New
York on the l'Jth mst.
The voto which nominated Hen
ry Stanberry to the Attorney General
and was rejected in the executive session
of the Senate this afternoon stood :
For confirmation, 11, including Sen
ators Henderson, Ross, Fowler and
Sherman ; against confirmation, 29,
all Republican.
There is a disposition on the part
of a large number of members of
Congress to adjourn about the first of
July, in order that they may actively
enter on the Rresidential canvass.
Democrats and Preachers.
Tho Warsaw Indianian says: The
Democratic papers in this part of the
country have much to say apout the
preachers, and one- or two ot them
growled considerably about the fact in
tlie conference that was recently held
here there was not a -single minister
among them who belonged to the Cop
perhcad party. Y nue we are willing
to acknowledge that this speaks well
for the ministers, it is equally certain
that it has a bad look for modern De
mocracy, and the fact that out of one
hundred and ffifly ministers present,
not a Copperhead could be found, most
conclusively proves, tho proposition.
Taking this fact into consideration, it
is no wonder that Copperhead prints
indulge in an attack, upon the ministers
in attendance at the conference. It
certainly can do no great harm. how
ever, to the cause of Christianity while
these editors aro only instruments in
fulfilling the prophecy of Scripture.
We tlTcrcfore, hope our ministers will
bear their gibes meekly, remembering
the injunction that, "Blessed are they
who tro persecuted for righteousness
sake." : .
Our candidates for President and
Vice President are very nearly of the
same age, and may be regarded as in
the primo ot intellectual and physical
manhood. Grant was forty-six on
the twenty-seventh of April last, and
Colfax forty-five on the twenty4hjrd

BY A FREE
IIIAIILB,
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: You never seem to tiro nor
end on the question of Protection, and
yet you fail to convince any one that
your theory is for tho best interests
of the country j and what may seem
strange is that the men to whom
you say most the workingmen
have the least faith in your preaching.
One of the immediate effects of a high
tariff is to keep up the price of labor
which is more- than four times as
high in this county as it will average
in Europe.
1 am for unqualified 1 ree Irade.
I would sell out the Custom-Houses,
discharge the leeches that swarm
around them, and allow people to sell
and buy products and goods whenever
they found it lor their interest to do so.
'pi.:., ,:ii .,
X1119 nut umig ua li u imu uuu uui-
mal condition.
I see clearly what the immediate ef
fect would be. Commercial distur
bance would be the natural result, for
it would bo a great and radical change.
V e should be on an entirely new foun
dation. The first effect would bo to
stop manufacturing here, and the
country would bo tilled with foreign
goods, many of which Europe would
never see her money for. A commercial
revulsion would bo out of employment
and tho prico of labor would come
down, down, down, until 'it touched
the European Standard, and then suc
cess is secured. All that is nccesssary
in this country, with the marvelous
skill nnd wealth which wo possess, to
compete successfully with the foreign
manufacture, is low wages. Tho writ
er of this once manufactured goods in
Brussels (Belgium), where he procured
thaSKervices of tho best mechanics for
less than 30 cents per day and good
workmen for 18 cents.
Free trado would certainly work
this result ; and then we eould manu
facture goods for tho wholo world.
Gold would flow into our coffers from
every land like a river. We shouM
soon be rich and independent, defying
the world commercially as wo now
may physically. When will you rid
yourself of your narrow and contracted
views of trade, nnd preach the pure
gospel of commercial liberty as you
now do political?
Yours respectfully,.

Tlie Tribune's Reply.
1. It isjquite probable that, if skilled
labor could be had hero in abundance
for 30 cents and good workmen for
18f cents per day, wo could manufac
ture moro than we now do, though wo
should still come far short of supply
ing "the wholo world." But wo could
not so depress tho wages of part of the
Iinbor of our people without substan
tially reducing tho prico of all the la
bor in the country. And we do not
believo it wise or well to reduco the
wages of labor to any such extent.
We know that tho 18 to 30 cents per
day would buy nothing like such a
largo aggrcgato of tho necessaries and
comforts of life as tho present wages
of our Working Classes secure them.
We should havo cheaper garments,
cheaper food (that is, at lower money
prices; man now ; out id wouiu nxne
a great deal more hard work to buy
them. Ami the Laboring Class be
ing substantially tho Voting Class
they would not long stand it, but
would insist on goinir back to better
wages and better tunes.
2. Wo do not believe there is any
real advautago in buying goods of
Europe, breaking and doing her out
of the pay for them. Wo hold to
buying less, but paying for all we
get.
3. It seems odd that those who in
sist on the beneficence of Free Trade
are veru ant to run from wliere it ii to
where U is not.. Our correspondent
says we should all get rich hero if his
policy was in voguo ; but why didn t
he get rich in Belgium and stay there? ;
Why doesn't he go there now and
manufacture, instead of staying here to
grumble ?
4. He savs that tho Working Men
have no faith in our Tariff views.
That remains to bo proved. We ar
gued the question in Harry Clay times
and always carried with us a majority
of those .Working men who could
read.' Ihcother sort were impervi
ous to our arguments j but wo do not
despair even' of them. Just wait
till Reconstruction is is finished, and
wo aro ready to try conclusions with
you on Protection.
Henry Warp Bf.echer, in his
sermon last Sunday, said : "Repudia
tion is wrong, and every whisper
countenancing it is from the devil.
If all tho nations of tho earth were to
speak across the sea in its favor, and
the great ocean itself should thunder
out amen, repudiation would still be
wrong." This may bo called "politi
cal preaching," but it is in accordance
with Gospel teaching and Christain
principles, nevertheless.

RAILROAD
Are now finished nnd In operation. Sixty miles
of the track have been laid this spring, anil the
work along the wholo lino between the Atlantic
and Pool tin States Is being pushed forward more
rapidly than over before. More thun twenty
thousand men aro employed, and it Is not Im
possible that tho entire track, friim Oinahn to
Sacramento, will bo finished In 1SIU Instead of
1870. The moans provided n'O ample, and all
that energy, men and minoy can do to securo
tho completion of this
GREAT NATIONAL WORK,
at the earliest possible day, will be done.

the future.
III. A GOVERNMENT GRANT of United
States Thirty-year Bonds, amounting to from
9111,000 to MtyWOpcr mlle.ttccordlng to the dull
cultles to be surmounted on the various sections
to bo built. The Government takes a second
mortgage as security, and It Is expected that not
only the Intcrost, but the principal amount mny
be paid In services ronderod by the Company In
transporting troops, malls, 4c. The interest is
now more than paid In this way, besides secur
ing a great saving in time and money to tho
Ouveriiment.

to the Pacific, but they certainly prove tho
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
upon such property, costing nearly three times
thelramount, ,
ARE SECURE BEYOND ANY CONTINGENCY.
The Company have abundant moans In their
treasury, and make no appeal to tho public to
purchase their Bonds, as the dally subscriptions
nrc entirely satisfactory ; but they submit that,
for entire security and liberal returns, there is
certainly no better Investment In the market.
The Unlpn Faclllo Bonds are for 11,000
each and have coupons attached. They have
thirty years to run, and bear annual Inter
est, payable on the first days of January and
July at the Company's Office in thaClty of New
York, at the rate of six per cent, la gold. The
Principal Is payable In. gold at maturity. At
tlie present rate of gold.thoso bonds pay an an
nual Income on their cent of
NEARLY NINE PER CENT ,
AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT THEY WILL
BOON BE AT A PHt-.MlU Jl.
Tho Company reserve the right to advance
the prico of their bonds to a rate above par at
any time, and will not All any orders or receive
any subscriptions on which the money has not
been actually paid at the Company' office be
