That llioso amendments wcro forcort
upon tho iico pi o ngnlnst their will nml
by moans o( tho grossest fmttili ns well
naln violation of tho Constitution Itself
In fact that tlioy havo only a fraudulent
existence will not bo denied by any
Democrat. That they tako away ro
Borvod rights of tho States Is equally
suro, and that they ought to bo ropcalctl
or sot aslda cvory Domocmt bolloves
Hut technical lawyers lntorposo tho plea
that "In form" they havo boon adopted
mid can not bo sot asldo except by
further amendment In tho mannor pro
scribed by tho Constitution, which am
never bo accomplished. Wo deny thli
doctrine Put tho Democratic party In
power-let a majority luCongresa dcclnro
thnt theso amendments wcro not adopted
according to tho Intent and spirit of tho
Constitution and nro therefore void. Lot
tho question bo referred directly by law
If necessary to tho Supremo Court for
final decision. If that body decides or
threatens to decldo In tt partisan spirit,
let Congress authorlso tho nppolntmcnt
of a BUfflcIcnt number of nddltlonal
Justices to control tho decision, as was
threatened by President Jefferson In
tm Important Issuo. Dy this process tho
fraudulent amendments can bo readily
wiped out, or utterly destroyed, whon
over practical expression can bo given
to tho volco of tho peoplo and tho trtio
spirit of tho Constltut on tself.
Tho mawkish sentimentalists who cry
out "you ilo submit to thoso amend
ments and they nro theroforo law," do
servo only contempt, porhaps, possibly
scorn. l''or tho lost ton yoars tho peo
ple havo unwillingly submitted, under
protest, to tho grossest usurpations of
power, perjury, treason, villainy and
corruption. Yet such submission docs
not legalism theso things. Resistance
must not necessarily bo by forco. It is
oven moro marked , positive and effectl vo
when dono In legal form and by legal
means. Wo resist and protest, at tho
ballot-box, which is tho freeman's pro
per weapon for reslstanco against un
constitutional action by constituted
authority. This resistance will bo con
tinued wlillo tho government lasts, or
success crowns its ctrorts, oven though
certain patriots bo kept out of oHlco for
a further period.
Wo aro not of thoso who dcsplso suc
cess, but wo do desplso It when attained
by tho sacrlflco of principle It is a
thousand and ten thousand times moro
Important that tho principles of tho
Democratic party should bo maintained
In their purity, and thus servo as a
check upon whatovor legal or official
power may exist, than that simple suc
cess of its candidates should bo secured
at on election. If prlnclplo can not be
established and proper government
theroby bo instituted and maintained
what dlfforcnco does It mako to the
public who holds tho offices ? Whether
Sir. In is out or Mr. Out Is In, is a matter
of ivo public Importance. But whether
correct principles aro maintained and
tho government admlnisterod upon tho
broadest prlnclplo of popular freedom
from, oppression is of vast importance,
If tho 14th and 10th amendments aro
submitted to, tho centralization of tho
government Is accomplished and tho
States aro practically wiped out. Tho
surrender of all political powor into the
bands of an aristocracy of wealth, to be
exercised by a central power at Wash
ington, will havo been accomplished.
The ballot-box will then no longer con
trol tho destinies of tho peoplo and will
havo but little or no influenco upon
results, but combined and aggregated
ranltnl will bo tho solo nower.
Theso aro tho general reasons why wo
war against theso amendments and pro
test against tho weakness and fraud
which counsels submission to them. Wo
firmly bcllovo that to submit to them is
to agree to tho death warrant of popular
rights and tho control of tho peoplo
over their own government affairs. Let
thoso submit who will thcro are thous
ands of honest bravo hearts that will
never never yield.

Wade Shelved. Tho cow-
nrdly
old knavo and blusterer, Ben,
wade, oi unio, lias at length met a
Just doom, and as ho Is ;.ow over 70
years of ago tho country Is probably
rid of him forever. Itesortlng to tho
artful dodgo of declining to bo a candi
date and then writing a letter that ho
would accept because his party domand'
cd It, and backed up by tho wholo pow
er of tho Federal administration, ho
was yet so Ignominlously defeated for
llio Itndlcal nomination for Governor of
Ohio that ho did not oven stand a ballot
but submitted to tho unanimous noml
nation of j competitor who had treated
him with tho utmost Bcorn. Truly
" tho mills of tho gods grind slowly but
finely," and it Is now left for tho winds
to sing Wade's requiem.
Tun new departlsU sneeringly Bay

There aro no doubt others wo havo not

Tho worshippers of tho now Idol em

No wonder they "depreoato" tho dis

The yankeo shoemakers aro out with
an oppcal to tho public against protec

rovonuo of ?3,&(X),000, and Imposes a

wear their productions nil for tho sako

Necessarily, under any plan of delo-
gato election, tho lsuio In voting for
delegates In any dlstrlrt wilt roinmnn
ly bo upon a single nomination, or with
roforoneo to tho candidates for a slnglo
nomination. As, for Instance, tho pros
out year In this county, tho Issjio In
choosing delegates In many districts
will probably bo between tho two can
didates for tho Heproscnlatlvo nomina
tion and other quostlons will bo subord
Inato to that Issue. But candidates for
other nominations may bo In many
cases embarrassed as to tho courso their
friends shall pursuo on tho actual Issuo
mado up; in other words It Is often
difficult to hct upon tlireo or four dis
tinct questions of nomination In voting
for dolcgates. This is not n difficulty
peculiar to tho now rules of nomina
tions, nor at nil Incroasod by them. On
tho continry thoso rules, rightly under
stood nnd administered, will nllovlato
ordecrcaso this Inherent dllllculty in
dolegato elections by enabling voters to
oxpress themselves by their votes moro
perfectly than over beforo.
As to all secondary nominations, not
put in direct Issuo In tho selection of
dolcgates, voting of instructions can bo
readily nnd freely resorted to, nnd In
structions when given will bo of somo
nccount bocauso thoy can bo enforced
upou tho Instructed delegates.
Wo tako It for granted that In many
districts thcro will bo an agreement
upon tho persons to bo chosen as dele
gates. Thoy will bo sottlcd upon by
common consent as proper representa
tives of tho vlows of tho district upon
tho leading question of nomination,
and thou Instructions will bo given
them ns to all other or secondary nom
inations. In such caso a majority of
tho voters of tho districts will decldo
how tho delegates shall vote upou nil
such secondary nominations and that
decision wilt stand good nnd must bo
enforced by tho convention when it
shall assemble.
But In a caso where a contest shall
tako placo In tho election of delegates
tho issuo being upon a leading nomina
tion tho friends of candidates for all
secondary nominations must bo moro
discreet and caroful. They may satisfy
themselves as to tho position of tho
several dele'gato candidates upon tho
sovoral quostlons of secondary nomina
tion by direct Inquiry and by other
means, and thus cnablo themselves to
voto intelligently for them or between
them j or thoy may voto instructions
to tho delegates thoy support. In tho
latter case, of courso, tho rulo Is that a
dolegato can bo Instructed by a majority
of thoso who voto for him and not
otherwise. For 1 1 would bo nbsurd and
entirely destructive of tho prlnclplo of
proportlbnnl and Just representation to
allow a smaller number to instruct, or
to permit tho opponents of n delegate,
(who havo voted against him) to bind
him to obcdlcnco to their will.
Instructions whenever given, should
bo contained upon tho tickets voted for
delegates, nnd aro to bo duly reportod
to tho Convention by tho election offi
cers. In our opinion blank tickets In
proper form for Instructing delegates,
and other proporelcction blanks,shouId
bo furnished by tho Standing Commit-
too to tho several election districts of
tho county. This would guard against
mistakes and promoto fairness at tho
dolegato elections.
The Philadelphia Press nnd other
Radical Journals persist in giving cur
rency to tho statoment that tho Colum
bian refuses to " hoist tho names " of
tho Democratic nomlneos for Auditor
and Surveyor General. Womight,with
Just tho samo degreo of propriety, say
that tho Press does not support tho Rad
ical nominees, for their names nro not
to bo found under tho editorial head of
that paper. Tho assertion would bo as
truo in ono caso as tho other, but truo in
neither.
When tho present editor took charge
of tho Columbian ho found tho practice
prevailing of Inserting tho party nom
inations at somo other placo in tho paper
than under tho editorial head. Approv
ing tho practlco wo havo continued it.
Whllo dosplsing tho platform sot up by
a small majority of tho dolcgates to tho
convention, wo in most posltlvo terms
dcclaro that If any editor In tho State
gives a moro hearty and efficient sup
port to tho nominees than wo it will bo
for tho simplo and irrovcrslblo reason
that ho possesses moro capacity than wo
do. That is tho whole story and any
body that wants to understand will havo
no difficulty In arriving at the truth.
Tlio .Standing Committee.
It is to bo borno in mind that hcreaf-
ter tho Democratic Standing Committee
of tho county Is to consist of ono mom
ber from each election district, and that
the Commltteots authorized to select its
own Chairman. No duties aro to bo
performed by tho County Convention
in regard to tho selection of tho'Com-
nilttcc, but thonamosofCommltloomon
should bo roported to thu Convention
along with tho other returns of tho
dclecato elections. In voting for a
member of tho Committeo In each dis
trict wo supposo that a separato ticket
headed " Committeeman " can bo used by
tho voters, or that tickets for delegates
can havo a voto for a Committeeman
added at the bottom. In either caso
tho election officers will havo no dllll
culty In making up returns! but both
plans cannot bo used at tho isamo elec
tlon without confusion.
A (Jotcriimental failure.
Tho Territorial Government provided
for Washington city by President
Quant and a Radical Congress turns
out to bo a failure Tho lower board of
tho City Councils which wero elected
by a popular voto Is under tho coinpleto
control of a set of corrupt rascals. Ap
propriation bills of tho most oxtfava
Kant character have been devised nnd
passed: and ovcrythlng of tho kind
has a big lob In It. An attempt to put
nearly llvo millions of dollars in tno
hands of a Bet of rogues, with power to
disburso it as they pleaso has Just been
oxposed and tho proporty-holders of
the city aro naturally Indignant. Tho
probabilities aro that Congress will bo
petitioned by nearly every properly
holder, without respect to party, to
mako tho lower branch of tho City
Councils appointive, as well as tho other
officers. This Statu of atUlrs Is ono of
tho effects of negro suffrage
Radicat. robbery has bo deplctod tho
treasury of Washington, that tho public
schools havo been closed. Monoy noodod
to educate whlto children, was used to
pay negro voters, and henco tho dls
graceful consummation wo havo chron

Tho Klglils or .Minorities.
Wo chronlclo n hopeful sign of tho
times. Thorlghtsof minorities consti
tute u subject of ncllon, or n themoof
(lobule, throughout tho civilized world.
In this country tho prlhclplu of majori
ty rulo Is accepted by many of our best
men, without regard to patty nffcctlon,
with material qualification. If any
man Insist upon nbsoluto rulo of tho
majority, denying tho right of minority
representation, placo him with tho ml
norlty, and his vision will speedily
clear.
In establishing majority rulo In this
country tho fathers did not, 11 is fair to
presume, Intend to Btlflo tho volco of
tho minority. In fact, wo know that
they Intended nothing of tho sort, when
refcrenco Is mado to tho original clauso
of tho constitution providing for tho
olcctlon of prcsldontnnd vice-president.
Tho right of minority representation In
tho highest offices of tho nation was
thcro acknowledged. It Is n pity that
the plan was put away for that which
now cumbers tho Instromout. Reflect
a moment s Is thcro nny moro or hotter
reason for electing a president than n
governor by Indirection? Under tho
old system tho minority had n fair
showing for tho second highest offico In
tho popular gift. Under tho now, by
management, or accident, tho minority
may bearnrbllrary rulo thus rovorslng
tho principle of majority rule. Arbi
trary rule, whether by tho few or tho
many, Is always oppressive. Theroforo
tho object should bo to so provldo tho
checks and balances of power that nb
soluto cpntrol of tho machinery of gov
ernment may not nccruo to any parly.
The attention of tho best minds In
England Is turned to tho samo subject ;
nnd though tho British masses appear
to bo as Indifferent to tho ways and
means of political progress as aro tho
peoplo In tills country, tho fact that tho
subject Is being discussed, nnd talked
about, both thcro and hero, Is a sort of
promlsoof bettor things. But hero wo
give so much homago to tho names of
things that tho constitution of things
themselves Is suffered to pass without
examination. Wo talk much about
freedom, yet hundreds of thousands
cannot distinguish between liberty nnd
license. Every man has, theoretically,
a volco In public affairs, yet often n
largo minority Is practically disfran
chised so far ns results oro concerned.
Of courso this Is wrong ; oven worse
than that dangerous. Party manage
ment is essentially autocratic. Its bo
bests sound liko decrees from a throne.
Let us 1 earn that names nro not things,
and not always nearly related to tho
things thoy aro supposed to represent.
As every man has rights, so less than a
majority must havo rights which tho

" Head Issue-."
Every now and then wo havo a cry
from tho Press about " Dead Issues."
Now this Is all folly. Thero nro no
"dead Issues." Principles novcr chongo,
and thcro aro no such things as dead is
sues. Issues may bo changed for a tlmo
or not a propos as it may bo termed,
but issues aro novcr dead. Truth ro
mnins unchangeable. It may bo smoth
cred but it will rlso up again. It has
truly boon said :
" Truth crushed to earth will rise
again," so it is now. It is folly to talk
about " dead issues.'' They who do so,
only exhibit their own weakness and
ignoranco. In tho present political
campaign issues most vital to tho wel
fare nnd Interest of tho American peo
plo nro at stake. Under recent acts of
Congress power has been entirely cen
tralized In the President of tho United
States. In Congress tho representatives
of tho peoplo, at tho recent session,
lavishly throw all tho powers which It
should cxcrclso and protect, Into the
hands of tho President. No king or
potentate, tho Czar of Russia probably
excepted, possesses such Imperial pow
ers as tho President of tho United States
now possesses under tho recent act of
Congress. Individual liberty, tho rights
heretofore cxcrclcd alonoby thoStatcs,
havo all been thrown into his hands,
faster than asked. Powers that hereto
fore would never havo been entrusted
by tho peoplo to nny President and
powers which no ono man In any coun
try claiming to bo a Republic of States,
ought to possess, havo been placed Into
tho hands of tho President of thn Unit
ed States. This cannot bo denied. Tho
Ku-Klux BUI confers all of theso pow
ers, and creates nn Imperialism In this
country that was novcr dreamt of by
tho founders of tho Republic.
Tho living Issues then are, shall this
stato of things continue or shall the
country bo rcdeomcd from tho thraldom
of thoso who nro seeking to overthrow
and havo overthrown tho dearest rights
over possessed by American Freeraon?
Thcro nro now no other Issues. And
tho American peoplo must now pass ou

people confirm what Congress has dono

New Yohk, Juuo 2-5, Tho action of
tho Book Committeo In tho Lnnnhan cosu
removes blmfrom office. It Is thought
that tho final decision In thn matter lies
with tho Bishops, ylthout whoso sanc
tion tho tiimmlltco's ncllon goes for
nothing. Tho nttltudo of tho Bishops
ou tho question has not been dovolopod.
They havo s.it In their corner listening
patiently all through tho trial, but havo
not Bald a word as to their opinion.
Tho committeo sustained tho three
charges, separated and ns a whole. Tho
first ono was voted upou In two parts.
Tho first division charged that tho as
sistant ngent mado nffidnvtt nnd caused
proceedings to bo Instituted thereon In
tho Supremo Court, for tho purposo of
procuring n writ of mandamus from
said Court ngalust tho Book Concern
and Its agent, to compel frco access to
all banks, etc. This was not dented
during tho trial, nnd passed unanimous
ly. Tho second division declared that "ho
based such assumption upon tho Im
proper assumption that ho was nn agent
and co-operntor of s.ild Book Concern,
having equal poAverniid authority with
said agent, dr., nil it which Is contrary
to his proper olllclnl conduct."
On tills voto tint division was mado
which marks the iittllmloofeach mem
ber of tho committeo on tho general
question. Yens SU-hsrs. Brooks, Blades,
Bannister, Moore, Kennedy, Erwin,
Rawlins, Briigimin, Mallby, Rothwller
nnd Wood run it. Nays Messrs. Pike,
Sllcer, Multby and Vcrnou 1.
Thorecord was the samo on tho sec
ond charge, which declares that tho as
slstant agent bus niiogalcd authority
not accorded to him by any authority
of tho Church, and that his proceeding
In n temporal court tends to scandalize
tho Church and tho Concern.
On tho third chargo, also, tho samo
voto was made. First, disregard and
contempt of tho authority of tho Boole
Committeo and of tho ngent of tho Book
Concern j second, causing to bo copied
largo portions of tho books of nccount
of tho Concern, nnd carrying Bald copies
away from tho establishment j third,
causing cxtrocts from said copies and
pretended results of examination thero
of by accountants to bo printed socretly
without tho knowledgo of tho ngent or
conforenco with him; fourth, ho has
taken further legal proceedings If tho
demands nro not complied with.
Tho net of removal was carried by tho
samo majority, tho following being re
ported :
Resolved, 1st, That tho Book Com
mitteo having concluded tho Investiga
tion of Rov. Thomas Carlton, agent of
tho Methodist Book Concern, dated
May 2,r)th, 1871, against tho Rev. John
Lannhan, assistant book agent, and
having entered our findings upon the
sovoral terms of complaint, this, our
Judgment, thntthoRov. John Lanahan
aforesaid should bo removed from his
offlco as assistant book agent, nnd ho Is
hereby removed.
Resolved, 2d, Tiint tho Bishops In at
tendance bo officially notified of tho ac
tion of tho Book Committee. In taking
this action, tho committeo acted on tho
ground that it is an cxecutivo rather
than ajudlclal body. Thoy do not claim
to havo ascertained whether or not
thero havo been frauds In tho Book
Concern. They think tho public man
ner In which Dr. Lanahan ha3 brought
hls'charges, and tho pertinacity with
which ho has Insisted upon them, after
thoy wero disposed of by tho commit
teo, has been detrimental to tho Con--
ccrn, and has rendered him moro than
useless nsan cmployco,nnd, consequent-'
ly, thoy dlschnrgo him.
Tho charges of fraud ho ha3 brought
against tho Concern previous to this
timo thoy do not set down as untruo,
but as Improved by him. They will
now lnvcstlgato the matter In their own
way, as thoy dcslro to hold n moro
thorough inquiry than Lannhan's has
been. Tho minority dcclnro that if tho
Concern has been suffering from frauds
during these many years, during which
ho has been connected with it, Dr. Lan
ahan almost deserves canonization for
his magnificent efforts to laybaronnd
euro this dlscaso, nnd that in any caso,
it Is unfair to punish a man for expos
ing tho cxlstcnco of frauds which tho
committeo ncknowlodgo thnt thoy aro
not prepared to deny nnd concerning
which tho deposed man has not been
allowed to bring in evidence. They
claim that at this stago of tho investi
gation this oxerclso of power by tho
committee 13 confessedly nn arbitrary,
unju3t, and not a Judicial act, and does
a monstrous Injustice ton man who has
suffered for what ho believes to bo tho
truth, besides putting a premium on
concealment for tho future. To hear
tho ovidenco first and depose nftorwnrds
lfneccssnry, tiiey think would bo moro
Just and wise.

mileage and per diem dangling beforo
their nnxlouscyes. Knuc nnd Beikien
nnd IIomikn all halted a little, when
required to tako certain leaps, but La

cially after Informing tho committeo
that ho had no Intention of resuming
his "missionary" (?) labors in Ala
bama. Ilo sworo that ''thirty-three"
indictments had been found In tho Fed

rights bill. Upon this point ho was
posltlvo. Yet, when tho'Judgo of that

But Lak in is entitled to tho merit of

After os'crcomlng what ho cnliod his

tho child was elongated, was ornament

projecting on cither Bide, nnd other

said described his Satanic Majesty. La-

opportunity of gaining valuablo infor

The Cincinnati Inquirer declares that
tho action of tho lato Radical Couyon
tion of Ohio is equivalent to nn open
repudiation of General Quant, and
yet tho nggregato of tho salaries of tho
Federal ofnco-holdcrs, delegates to tho
Convention, nro estimated nt about
11,000,000 annually 1 If that amount
would not purchaso an endorsement of
General Quant, his caso must bo des-
pcrato, indeed.
" Every honest man Is saw In -Ala
bama, no matter what his political
opinions arc,", is tho declaration of tho
Journal, tho organ of tho Radical party
of that Stato. All theso facts wero
known to tho men who passed tho Ku-
Klux bill, nnd yet they trampled upon
nil Ideas of a Republican form of gov
ernment In order, If possible, to re-elect
Qoncral Grant, and retain possession
of tho money-bags of- tho nation.
