Wo admit, with our correspondent

Tho Hon. Francis Jordan, in his

against fraud and peculation must bo

Wo Hvo in a mercenary nge. The

and especially ns manifested in tho

and thioves. Others by great efforts

their way Into olllco, nnd places of trust
and responsibility, not to servo tho pub

scoundrels can stuff a ballot box,or false

1 am aware it is contended by sorao
that men cannot bo made honost by net

SCO.
I can conooivo of but ono solution to
tho political problem as it stands, aud
that is to refer it, in good faith, to tho
platform adopted at Cincinnati aud to
thooriglnof tho uprising which brought
that assembly together, xiiouiuciunnu
Convention was brought forth from a
sincere purpose to correct tho abuses
which have crept into tho administra
tion of tho government under Grant.
No man can deny, with tho proofs now
at hand, that tho Cincinnati Conven
tion honestly meant Reform ; tho plat
form adopted by It very plainly shows
how reform may bo accomplished, nnd
very distinctly charges upon tho admin
istration of (tno lato General) Grant tho
abuso of power which Democrats havo
been loud in denouncing for a long
time. Briefly generalized, tho leading
ideas, of tho Cincinnati platform aro
general amnesty : reform and purifica
tion of tho Civil Service; tho abolition
of subsidies ; lessening of taxation con
sistent with tho maintenance of tho
public credit; 'local self-government'
and tho supremacy of tho civil over
tho military power (another name for
tho cherished Democratic doctrino of
Stato's rights;) tho maintenanco of
Constitutional government ; tho adop
tion of tho ono term principle; a refer
ence of tho tariff question to tho Con
gressional districts ; and last not least,
a repudiation of Grant nnd nil his
works. To theso is ndded something
about emancipation aud negro suffrago,
matters, which, being no longer issues
but fixed facts, havo (pepco to thoir
ashe3l) passed Into history beyond tho
reach of human hands.
Now all this is Mr. Grecloy's vade
mecum, tho political compass by which
his feet are to bo guided. What Is thoro
in it with which Democrats can find
fault? Could a Democratic Convention
havo done better? Will tho Baltimore
Convention do moro than repeat, in
substanco, this programmo of living
issues? I venture to say no assombly
which could havo been brought togothor
for such purposes as that at Cincinnati,
could havo douo Us work in better
terms, moro amply, more honestly and
moro acceptably to tho vast majority of
tho people. Tho avowed aud real pur
poso of tho wholo movement found fit
expression and was distinctly and un
equivocally embodied In tho profession
ot faith that has been adopted by tho
savants there assembled. Tho pertinent
Issues of tho day havo been distinctly
put and tho Hne3 drawn between what
is and what should bo, between political
plunder and good government ; between
tho spoils of office and Constitutional
liberty; between corruption and re
form ; tho abuso of power; tho prostitu
tion of public patronngo to tho will,
lntorcst or enmity of personal avarlco
and ambition on tho one hand and tho
establishment of tho machinory of gov
ernment on a fixed and independent
footing on tho other. Theso aro not idlo
Issues ; thoy aro vital, practical, urgent
subjects for reform and all tho oppon
ents of Grant, without distinction of
party,profess to de3iro in respect to thom
tho samo thing, so that, all things con
sidered, thero remains but one unsettled
subject lor uisagrooraont botwoou tho
Cincinnati Reformers and the Demo
cratic party ad thatsublect is Groolov.
Beforo discussing Mr. Greoloy's rela
tions, past or present, to tho Democratic
party it may no won to briefly regard
the man himself; is ho tho man for tho
occasion ? anu u loumi so to bo, is ho
tho man to win? It would bo hard to
find a slnglo Araorican who lias now
(as ho has had for many years) so largo
a personal ioiiowmgas noraco uroeiey.
Probably few Americans over lived
personally so well known and so thor
oughly Identified with tho history of
tneir own times, witn so many and
such important measures for reform.
Ho has beon a prophet of emancipation,
of tcmpcranco and many schemes of in
dustrial progress. His newspaper (a
very thin dlsguiso for tho man himself)
Is read to day by over n million of bo-
Hovers, counting flvo readers to ono of
circulation. Thero is about him an
easy adaptation to tho genuino and
strongest typo of American character.
Ho has thesamo aptuess.amlabilltyand
humor, tho manners and bearing, which
did so much to popularize tho late Mr.
Lincoln peculiarities that go straight
to tho heart and understanding of tho
averago American. Ho deservos cer
tainly no less than Lincoln tho credit of
porsonal honesty. Ho Is not vulgar
in his tastes and pleasures, nor avari.
clous In his desires. There Is nothing
in tho man to hinder him from stand
ing squarely upon tho platform which
his sponsors navu uruinou ior ins sup
port. Forty years of hard work at tho
most trying oi an vocations, navo qual
ified him as fully, to say tho least, for
tho Presidential offico ns tho previous
oxperiencoor subsequent stewardship
of U. S. Grant. Butono thing is against
him ; ho has not beon a "Llfo Long
Democrat I"
I havo no disposition totreat this last
difficulty as other than a conceded fact:
it is tho wholo stock in trado of thoso
who for such a reason, would havo us
forego tho ndvantago of associating In
tho good work beforo us, our nblo and
intolllgont allies of Cincinnati I Un
fortunately for tho logic of thoso who
take this view of tho situation, tho ar

should that bo made without him as
from tho Radical tickot to bo put up nt
I'miauoipnia. witnout urccioy, and
with Greeley in tho field, I verily bo-
llovo tho Democratic party in tho noxt
campaign will bo essentially weakened
by tno want of many mouornto men,
who see. between ultra Democracy and
pure Radicalism, n mlddlo path, whoro
tho Cincinnati movement points tho
way. Tho vory inertness, tho bigotry
and political dullness of tho Democratic
loaders, in refusing ovory opportunity
of success, will disgust many followers,
and depress nnd discourago many of
thoso wno navo c uug to tno party in

Now supposo you nut Grcoloy In

again for now man what has already
been said for Grecloy at Cincinnati?
uau you go lartiicr, or say moro ? V hat
man can you put in tho field who will

But supposo you tako another man, nro

you join iorccs ior turn light, navo you

ally and giving him n command ho lias

when your own action has contributed
in such an important measure, to win
tho day? Horo is strength offered to
you coming jrom tno enemy nn auui
tion which counts two for one it
strengthens you, it weakens him. From
what other quarter will you oxpeet such
reinforcement? "Yes, but," whispers
tho dubious politician, "tho spoils, to
whom shall thoy belong?" In tho first
place, tho spoils do not bolong to tho
rank and fllo of tho voting population,
and tho rank and fllo understand all
about that. Therefore tho rank und fllo
will bo neither encouraged nor cast
down by tho good or ill prospect of
spoils, out excited, ratiior, by tno nope
of victory. In tho second placo, if tho
doctrines you profess nro truo and hon
est, wo shall havo less to distributo than
usual, wiiou tho civil servico is mado to
depoud, in a largo measure, not upon
pany usduniiany, nut upon Honesty, ca
pacity and competitive examinations
Tho vory ovil wo are fighting to put
down is .tho fearful domination of party
power, tho solQsh prostitution of public
patronage, which wo say and boliovo is
threatening tho vory existonco of good
government and civil liberty In this
country. Wo proposo to regulato tho
thing differently hereafter, to break
down monopoly in public offices, to de
stroy tho domestic tyranny of politics
if possible, und mako tho hugo machin
ery of government self-regulating, and
as far as may bo, conducted not in the
interest of professional politicians but
for tho goneral good. Greoloy's elec
tion by a party, not by tradition identi
fied with him, would bo a most fortu
uato circurastauco for tho accomplish
ment of such reforms as aro needed in
tho civil servico. But respecting his
liberality in tho dispensation of public
patronage, I havo fow fears fewer than
I should havo in tho instanco of auy
other man in tho wholo country. From
a distant diagnosis of Mr. Grceloy's
character, I fancy ho will carry into tho
Whito Houso a kindly aud generous spi
rit towards those who, laying asido nil
prejudico and ignoring past animosities
reposed, in such a crisis, tho supremo
conildoneo of so great a trust in him. I
navo so proiouuu a leoung that Mr.
Grcoloy, whou olocted, Will do tho fair

Attornoy-aonoral, Lyman Trumbull:
Secretary of War, Geo. B. McClellan
and so on. I can not help thinking

Mr. Greoloy's privy council. I do not
rancy that tho man who balled Jeff Da

whoncoit came that ho would hud-

and "llfo long" whigs or radicals, and
iiirui out mo wuuio xioiu oi pu'ic pat

Mr. Grecloy's peculiar adhoren lo not
consilium a uouy sumcientiy tiropor
tloned in numbors to tho democratic
party to warrant tno supposition of his
special exciusiveness in tnis particular.
Besides, I boliovo tho Sago of Chappa
qua would consider his political mission
on earth very happily concluded if it
woro crowned at length, aftor so many
years of contention, by n peaceful recon
ciliation in such a causo with his "life
long" opponents. I can not coucolvo of
a moro enchanting picture thau such a

If tho democratic party was sure to
win without Greoloy I could seo sorao

But. Mr. Editor, thoro Is n lilrrhor nnd
bottor nnd broader way of looking at
this subject. It lies in tho plain path
of political duty. In tho higher rango
oi political truth and honesty. Tho
politics of this country hns sunk Into
tho depths of corruption. Wo want

tion would ring tho death knoll of nr.
ganized radicalism in this country ; that
a airuignt oui Democratic ticuot would
bo beaten and thereby all chancofortho
recovory of power lost. I boliovo that

of tho winning party, wo shall main-
tain our placo in tho van of tho politi

most effectually what wo profess to havo
at heart; that wo would witness tho
ovorthrow and destruction of our oppo

in tno seats oi power, still Keop our
placo in tho hearts and braina and confl
denco of tho pcoplo ; that looking rathor
to tno now oruor oi things, than to a
dreary lapso of Grant, tho peoplo would
rally to tho causo wo offer to thoir suf

enthusiasm of victory assured, nil thnt

"What Mr. llotitwcll Might Do.
Tho Secretary of tho Treasury, no
doubt, Is not only n zoalous friend of
tho Administration whereof ho forms n
part, but an earnest ndvocato of tho ro
olcctlon of President Grnnt. Holms It
In his power to givo that Administra
tion a lift, to promote that ro-olectlon,
by doing nslmplo thing which will com
mand tho hearty approbation of nearly
n4l tho American People. What wo ask
him to do Is to use the public money ly
ing dead in fits vaults and drawing no In
terest to pay off our National Debt, on
which the people arc paying six per cent.
Interest.
Could anything bo proved Just nnd
wiso by tho simplest statement If this
Is not? What nrgumonts, what consld
orations, could add to tho forco of that
statement ?
On tho 1st Inst, Mr. Botttwell report
ed that ho had on hand in
Coin 4110.103,119 Cnrroncr. 911.40l.l2n-
TOtal fil2IKt-t7M
Deduct Coin corllllcntpnoutslandiiiR 8)2,510,0
Leaves net liatauco lu tho Treasury SOJ.308,713,
Hero nro nearly Ono Hundred Mil
lions of Dollars belonging to tho Pcoplo
lying iuio nnu useless While tnoy nro
paying six per cent, interest on nearly
Fifteen Hundred Millions, nnd lower
rates on over Four Hundred Millions
more. And ngood part of thoso Fifteen
Hundred Millions nro subject to redemp
tion at tho pleasure of tho Government.
Docs nny man boliovo that Mr. Bout
well a careful, thrifty merchant over
managed his own business In this fash
Ion ? Supposo ho wcro In debt 5100,000,
drawing six per cent. Interest and pay
able on demnnd, nnd had $20,000 on de
posit In bank, drawing no interest, how
long would ho lot It Ho thoro?
Doubtlos, tho noxt monthly exhibit,
which will nppear early noxt wcek.will
snow some reduction or this enormous
hoard of coin. But why not "reform It
altogether?" Why not go into the
market, nnd buy up $50,000,000 wortli
of bonds forthwith? Supposo them to
cost 1 per cent, premium in gold, may
not that betterbo paid than thrico to tc n
times ns much in interest on bonds that
wo havo tho cash In hand to redeem ?
If Mr. Boutwell would Just call in $50,
uuu,uuuor unredeemed bonds at onco
and then proceed to buy up or pay off
uutil his coin was reduced to nn cqua
tlon with hi3 outstanding certificates
ho would earn grntitudo for himself
and popularity for tho Administration
Must Congress squarely Instruct him to
do this or let itgoundono? JV. 1'. Trib

A "llurnl Writer," who edits a Grant
organ in tho Interior of Ohlo,ycstordny
encountered D. P. on Fourth streot
and gavo him tho grand hailing sign of
radical distress, as thus:
"Colonel, wo shall havo rare sport
now. Tho convention was tho broadest
joko, tho most roaring farco of tho
season. Why, I four wo shall all laugh
oursolves to death. Greeloy Is on educa
ted idiot a racing lunatic honest
perhaps, but intolerably stupid."
Whereupon D. P. "It may bo a
joko, sir, but it is ono at which tho ad
ministration cannot laugh. Tho ticket
nominated to day will bo elected. Tho
man who can look into tho faco of
Graut, and nfterwurd accuse Uoraco
Greeley of lack of souse, must himself
possess unlimited capacity for stupidi
ty. Grant is tho most incoucolvablo
Idiot, nud tho most cold blooded, infa
mous, heartless hog that God Almigh
ty over set ou oud. Even his tools in
Washington, who oboy his behests and
do his dirty work, ioatho and abhor
him. A man not accustomed to him
frequently does not appreciate, neither
can ho concoivo tho depth aud degrada
tion of his meanness. If, as you say,
Greely Is n lunatic and au idiot, ho will
of course recolvo tho support of all tho
Idiots and lunatics iu tho country and
thoy aro by no means Inconsiderablo In
number. IIo will get tho votes of ull
tho negroes In tho country, nnd all tho
whites of tho south, Wo know him to
bo honest, and ho will got tho votes of
oil tho honest men. In short, sir, ho
will got tho votes of overy body oxcopt
tho ofllco-holders and tho editors of
county printing, and unless I nm very
much decolved thoy will bo howling
forhlm in less than threo months. Tho
very alleged absurdity of his nomina
tion will bo a strong point in his favor,
for you seo tho Auiorlcans aro very
nb3urd pcoplo. So his election Is In
ovltablc." Cincinnati 1-hquirer.
Tim Charleston lTews says that the
effect of tho Ku KIux arrests in South
Carolina has been to render fiOO plows
Idlo In Laurens county nlono, and pre
vent tho cultivation of 10,000 acres.
The Chicago Times says of tho Wash
ing ton Chronicle: "So this II ttlo vlllago
nowspaper, nover distinguished except
as tho recipient of post ofllco printing
and odd bits of plundor from Bullock
and Evans, reads Mr. Horace Greeloy
out of tho party as complacently as tho
