TUE WORK AT ST. LOUIS

parties and candidates• That journal

eyes to the important emergency be
,fore us
-"The Democratic Convention has
fought bitterly but briefly, and after
filling all the St. Louis bar rooms
with riots for two or three days. has
plaCed an admirable candidate upon
a NO platform. and Has nowTaused
for breatb-„,..:.
If platfOrms, however, cannot make
.the fortune of a party, they can niar
and there i's no doubt that. Govern
or Tilden will be injured in his own
state by the shuillin.g phrases which
the convention ha - ffe adopted respect
ing the currency. E s About the Gover,-
nOr!S own Convictions there is no un
certainty. But a President is •not
what he chooses to be ; he is what
. his :associations and circumstances
make him. We propose to elect next
November not an absolute ruler but
a chief exeutive. Our votes , will
decide not Only who occupies the
the White Mouse, but who stand
around him,'and what sort of men
make tlif laws. Behind the Presi
dent will always be the party which
chOse him. It is not enough that the
President he honest if his 'party! is
fulk of rascality - and deceit.. So the
country says to the Democracy when
it hears of the nomitation of Tilden,
Very well, gentlemen, that is ex
cellent, so far ; now what do yon
propoSe to do if we`elect ?
i. Sin ter
Look 4 the platform. There. is
just one practical declaration in the
whOle of it,
.There are promises of

Intim in Washington clerkships, and
refiirm in federal, state, and municip
al takation by the party which crca,
teat Tammany. and the new. court
hotit;e ; but of practical declaratiOns
there is, as we say, just one : that is
a demand for the unconditional repeal
of:the Resumption Act. There is
no pledge to resume at any time;
there is no word of condemnation
ti.e the inflation, heresy ; the Reput4
titans are denounced for failing to
mak.. good the promise of the legal
; tender notes and for the financial
1 imbecility and immorality" which
has postponed resumption so longi
litit the only step which has been
ilaken toward resumption the Dem(); 1
crats' insist upon retracing,iand they 1
offer no Substitute for it. The CM-
einnati platform was unsatisfactory
toiflionest,eurreney men, het-ause iti ,
• said too little : but it said nothiw
mischieV6ps, and the nomination ofil
a repesentative hard money champion
like Hayes made amends for its:.
silence upon points where its lang-:.'

.
It is verr different, howeverott St,
LOuis. There .the party commits
I itslelf to i a course of national dishon : '
or, and avows in advance that it ha's
net idea of adopting the policy of the '
statesman-it has chosen for leader.'
Under - . such circumstances it seems

in the attempt to drive through ia

WELLS TO THE:, FRONT !
SAYSB in wan= zoLii
On Saturday last the Reiublicans
of Wells township raised a handsome
pole. The pole Is straight as an
arrew, and stretches one hundred
feet loutard the heavens. From its
pinacle floats a beautithl and artistic
flag, the handiwork of the patriotic
ladies of the vicinity. Prominent
among the industrious ladies who
gave evidence of their- devotion to
the principles of the Republican par
ty 'in so substantial a manner, were
Mrs. C. L. SHEPARD, Mrs.. WILLIAM
JOHNSON, Mrs. GEORGE JUDSON, Mrs.
MARTHA TABOR, Miss HATTIR!BOY.
Mks EMHA ROY,MTS. LYMAN FRENCH,
Mrs. DAVID BECKWITH, Miss MARIA
LIT,TLE; Mrs. ALBERT ARMSTRONG,
Mrs. A. B. HATHAWAY, Miss FRANK
' - lIEPARD, and Mrs. LYMAN BREWER.
When the pole had been placed in
position,. the same fair hands which
had made the "dear old flag" drew
''it to the mast-head. As the starry
banner, on which was inscribed in
largeletters, " RA YES aUd W n Es Lza,'
was spread to the breeze, it was
greeted by the booming of cannon
and the loud huzzahi of those assem
bled to ,witaess the interesting cere-
monies
On motion of MORRIS SIIEPARD,
the meeting was called to order by .
the olectl9n of JOHN A. Roy for
President. C. G. FAIRMAN, of the
Elmira Advertiser, and S. W. A Lvo RD,
of the REPORTER, were chosen Secre 7 '
taries. The afternoon was well ad
vanced, but the enthusiastic Republi
cans,- were anxious, to hear words of
Counsel and cheer from several dis
tinguished gentlemen Who were pres
ent.
Capt. W. H. CARNOCHAN, of
this plaCe l - waa first introduced. He
said he had so icing been a resident
of Troy that he scarcely recognized
"himself when spoken of as hailing
from Towanda. But whereVer we
hail from, he said, this year we all
intend to vote the Republican ticket.
The tact that on so, short a ,notice,
almost without, a notice, so many
Republicans of the town of' Wells
were gathered together, gave courage
to believe . that this stronghold . of the
enemy was about to be redeemed-.
He was glad to see them thus give
utterance to the- faith that was in
them. Before November comes, said
he, the leaves on that little hickory
sapling
.over there (referring to a
diminutive and sickly-looking TIL
DEN and HENDSICKS shrub across the
way) will all wither and fall, but this ,
WI pine will outlive the storm and
bear its proud banner for -. yearS to
come. The Democrats always put
up these little hickory withes, - and
very appropriately too, for they twist
and bend all round just like the par
ty, and always drop when the votes
are . e.anteri. Republicans. on the
Contrary, choose the tall and stately
pine,, which towers above all the
trees:in the forest. Why do the
Democrats . take hickory'' JACKSON
is no longer their candidate for-Pres
ident, and the principles . of JAexsois
are a myth scarcely known even in
the traditions of the party to-tiny.
They used to be for hard money.
Now they are all for shinplasters and
greenbacks. When they nominated
TILDEN they evidently intended to
rake in the specie,, and as'if one bar
rel' of money was n't enough, they
.added HENDRICKS So as to command
it by the prairie full. •:,There dre dif
ferent kinds of hickory, and there are
different kinds of Democrats—sOme
hard and some soft—but we have got
to crack them all in November. The
time has come, said Mr. CARNOCITAN,
when the Republican party has got
to fight its campai,gns independently
of the issues of the War. Shall the
party prove itself as wise in peace as'
it did in war ? A few years ago;
there were some who thought the
mission of thelßepublican party was
ended. In 1572 many of our friends
went out from the organiiation; and
enrolled themselves under the banner .
of GREELEY. These men have now
come back, and in 1576 the old Re
publican party, stands shoulder to
!shoulder in a contest against Demo
crats and DeuMerats i alone. A little*,
thing, a very little/thing, said the
speaker. gives encouragement to a
Democrat. EVerY year for, the last

and defeated, they come' up the next

deaths than all the cats in the uni

other seasons, they are going to win.
They are certain of it, just as 04
have always been certain of it before.
And they are doomed to disappoint
, ment and defe4 just as they have
always been. They did prowl round
•
here in BradfOrd county a couple of
years agd and elect a local Represen
tative,
one POwELL, to Congress.
Who V.= i'owst.F.? He counts one of

jority. But whit has he'done ? Who 1
has ever heard of him since he ex
. changed hisiural home for the vani
tal city? He draws lur pay probably,
but what else does he do ? As much
as any of then). He investigates.
The Republicans haye been iu con
trol for sixteen years; hate had com
plete authority in all the vast depart=
mente of the pyernment. And this
Democratic Congress has devoted all
its statesmanship, not to the punish
merit of discovered ' crime, but to

crats hold the patent. All this is to
the credit of the Republican party
It has demonstrated its honesty.
W. T. DAlaxs, of Towanda,' was
the next speaker. He said the 'Heti
ecratie party was nit a party of pro
gress. It must disband and begin
anew bifore it,could lay claim tp that
title. The Republican party is the
party of- progress. In sixteen years
it has accomplished a greater Work
than any other po' litical - organiMtion
in any government. In fonr succes
sive ?residential elections. it has
Been approved by the peoPle; and
now again in 1876 it is before them
for a verdict. The campaign beginS
auspiciously._ The party is united
from one end of the' Union to tie
other without a break. The GitrgLEY
men are with us for HAYEai 'a - nd
WIIIMLER. The Reformers are with
us. The column is unbroken. The
Democratic party expects to win un-
der the cry of reform. Reform from
the Democratic party !• What a mis
nomer. At Cincinnati there' were
various leaders. •The earnest, enthu
siastic men of Indians were for Mon-
roN, the gieat war Governor. New
York.. by a delegation *hick he nev-
er saw equalled in strength and per
sonal character, was for her own
brilliant Senator, RoscoE CONICLINtI.
The enthusiasm for BLAINE, stricken
in health, was of a wonderful charac- -
ter. Ohio was for HAYES. The con
test was earnest, but the result was
harmonious. All accepted the result
with earnestness and enthusiasm.
At St. Louis also there were leaders.
But who are they ? Who was Tn.-
ins's leader? JOHN MORRISSEY, the
representative gambler of the United
States. This man was TILDEN'S right
bower. lie was for reform. Yes,
MORRISSEY was•for reform, because
with a Democratic administration at.
Wcishington he couhtmake twice the
money with his faro Wa nks that he
could with a Rep 1 4217 administra.
tion. Thisman w ' a strength,
but such a man championing a Re
publican candidate would be ' his
death. "[Ares and WHEELER are the
Reformers. The Republican party
is the party of reform. If Republi
can-officials do wrong they are pun-
ished. and then nine times in ten
they go straight to the Democratic
party and are welcome. how is it
with TILDIN himself. From 180 to
Ira he was the close companion and
associate of Tw.r.F.D. Let the fell his
tory of this man be exposed and he
will speedily abanfton the cry of re
form •
Mr. DAVIS was listened to thro'.
out . his entire speech with rapt atten•
tion, and his remarks were repeated.
ly greeted with hearty applause.
Hon, G. L. SMITH. of Elmira, was
then c alled to the platfortn. After an
elOquent tribute to. the ladies who
had contributed so largely to the suc
cess of the meeting,, Judge SMITH
said that twenty years ago he was a
Deraociat. lie believed in the prin
ciples of the party as they had been
nii to that time. Rut it became a
sectional party and arraYed, the South
against the North.. When. that time
came, and tte ReptibliCan party in
scribed Freehoin• on its banners, he .
went with the Republicans. What a
Magnificent history • it - has male ih
these twenty years! It has saved the
Union and stricken the shackles from
four millions of people. The flag
floats now in all the land over no
man who is a slave. Shall we desert
it now, when politically nearly the
same condition of affairs exists as'
did twenty yearil ago. , Again the
Democratic party bases :all hope of
success on a united South. , If they!
win, who does it ? The South. Stop
and consider what it is which consti
tutes this Democratic strength in the
South. It is the men who sought iti
four long yeap of bloody : war te
drag down the flag. This is true an
all men know it. Do you of the NOrt
want to go with them and put th
government in the hands of these
men? You have heard them' in Con}

You know what they are, and wh a a n !

.
It had!beett evident for' some time
past that no matter who should re
ceive the nomination at ' St. totlis
the unterrified democracy of, this
Place would celebrate ; and so when
the news was flashed over the wires
that TILDE'S and 111ENDRICk6 were the
bees who had been put forward ' to
'suffer defeat, the gun that
day had stood
! for aay loaded was fired, and boys
were sent to notify every democrat

in the imprompl 0 demonstration in'
. i
the evening. , I
It was about 7:30 in , the evening
.when the clans began to assemble in
front :of the '' Means llouse." It,
!wit's evident at this early hour that
this was to be Mr , occasion with th
'democracy here, l and when the full
!strength of the p, rty would be bro't
lout. At 8 o'eloek; by dint of hard
!work and persuaSion on 'the part of
the managers, the grand' pageant , of
gie y-three torches and ;Seven trans
parencies, headed by Lin-ta Band,
was ready to march. : l .
The, mottoes emblazoned- on the
transparencies were not new. " Re- ! !
form " was the preponderating word,
and, judging froth the frantic efforts
' of the Marshals, one would hake been
led to suppose that they, considered
it as special orders: to themselves, as
they were •Constantly endeavoring to
re. form the motley . colunin during its
entire march.. The banner inscribed
" Enforce the Laws," 'was, very ap•
propriately borne aloft! 'hy one who
was recently indicted for Sellinglifittor
without license. Like a!funeral pro
cession at night the column moved
. !up Main street,not a Oche greeting
it! nor its tranParencies eliciting a
'laugh. , ' I
' A ft er marching through one or two
streets the procession again returned
to the " Means! House," where re
marks were made by Several of the
legal fraternity Of this plade who are
aillioted with modern 41110ft:toy.
Mr. S. IL PAYNE, the first speaker,
had evidently been reviewing his as
tronomical studies quite recently, as
he frequently referred to the heavenly
bodies. We did, not hear the Whole
of DICK'S remarks, but his reference
to 'the setting 'sun and democracy
was very appropriate. ! !
• Mr. I): li. MAmtni!), the second
speaker, started! oil' his remarks in
good style, but it was ilailiftl4 evi
dent that the gnestion he was endeaV
oring to haiidle *as top " heasiv, " for
him, and in a few minutes je fell
back to the usual demoeratW - esort
' on such oceasi l hns—told a stintty :
story. This pleased the " boys," but
the ladies on the balcony were fewer
in number during the 'remainder of
the jierformanee; - 1 ! .
Mr. ELIJAH eilAuNckY GinDLEY,
Esq., is one of those licctiliar yortng
meek who are determined that no time
shall be wasted on such an occasion,
and so While the crowd! were calling
for other speakers hi, ! , stepped out
ir ilhipil calling r l . Ilis! remarks were
simply a repetition pf 'What has been
written and
.spOken,hy democratic
editors and speakers ftiii the past ten
years. The boYs not !cheering, his
speech was peryjhrief.'perhaps much
mote so than he intended it should
! be when he com menced. .
EDWARD TtIo;%IAS ELLIOTT, Esq.,'
was:the fourth. speaker!. There was
a deep stillness! settled down over
that vast concourse of perhaps lira
hundred people 'as EDWARD THOMAS,
removed - from hiS ' head a battered
'chapeau, and the flickering light of
sixty torches shot.athWart his classic
• brow. E. T. is the recognized leader
in the labor-reform branch iof the
democratic party here, and as his
hand, Calloused! and Seamed in the
counting of hiS bonds,
,was raised.
aboVe aface broWned by exposure in
colledino rents, a cheer Went up. from
the toilers in the street. E. T. is a
good story-teller, and never lacks for
a story to tell ; and' so !on this occa
sion he told a story. It was of a pic
ture that is On exhibition at the Cen
tennial and is leaned . 1" A Tramp."
But it was evident 'that, E. T. had
lost his usual happy styie of applica
tion, and the story fell, as though his
audience were. imported specimens
from. the glacier regions:. 'Twas when
he touched the subject of Bread that
his pent-up eloquence found vent,
and: his masterly oratorical powers
came into full play. 'One could see
that be was alive to this subject, in-.
4„,stinuch as his struggle thus eft,- in

his speech, and that it .may not •he

to wish to convey the idea that men

GlAwstaormi—ln reply to your official

informed of my nomination for the office
of President of the United States by the
Republican National Convention at Cin
cinnati, I accept the nomination . with

tI shall be able, if elected, to ascent:tithe
1 duties of the high office as a trust for the
I benefit of all the people.
I do not deem in necessary to enter
upon any extended examination of the
't declaration of principles made ll' the
Convention. Tim resolutions arc in ac
s cord with my view,, and I heartily concur
I In the principles they announce. In several
of the resolutions; however, questioni; are
considered which are of such importance
that I deem it proper to briefly impress
my convictions in regaii to them. •
• CIVIL SERVICE RErOllll.
The fifth resolution adopted by the"cou
vention is of paramount interest. More
than forty years ago a system of malcing
appointments to i office grew up, based
neon the maxim, "To the victor belongs
the spoils." The old rule, the true tilde.
that honesty, capacity and fidelity L!con
stitute the only real qualificationg - for
'office, and that there is no other claim,
gave place to the
,idea that party services
were to be chiefly considered. All parties,
in practice, have adopted this syistext, It
'has been essentially modified simia its
first introduction ; it has not, however,
been improved. At first the Prasident,
either directly or through thce,hearls of%
departments, made all the appointments.
Rot gradually the appointing power, in
many cases, passed Into the contful of
members of Congress. The offices in
these cases have become, not merely re
wards for party services, but rewards for
services to party, leaders. This syStem
destroys the indepernience of the seperate
departments of the government,: ititeinis
directly' to extravagance and official in
capacity ; it is a temptation to dishoneifly;
it hinders and impairs that careful super
vision and strict accomitabilitY, by Which
alone faithful and efficient public service
can be secured ; it obstructs the prompt
removal and 811:8 punishment of the un
worthy ; in every way it degrades the
civil service and the character of the
government. It is felt, I. am Confident,
by a large majority of, the members of
Congregs, to be an intolerable burden and
hII unwarrantable hindrance to the proper
discharge of their legitimate duties. It
ought to be abolished. The reform ithonld
be thorough, radical and complete We
should return to . the principles and prac
tice-of the founders of the governtnent—
supplying by legislation, when needed,
that which was formely the established
custom. They neither expected rer de
sired from the public officers any partisan
service. They Meant that public Officers
should give their whole service_ to the
government and to the people. They
meant that the officer should be secure in
bis tenure as long as his personal charact,
er remained• untarnished and the perform,
once of - his ditties satisfactory. If electedi.
shall conduct the adihiration of the gov
rittnent upon these principles and all con
stitutional powers vested In the Executive
will be employed:triestablish this reform.

SALT LA E CITY, Utah, July 5
The speck' correspondent of • the
Helena (Mont.) Herald writes from
Stillwater, Montana, under date of
July 2, as follows :
Mdggins Taylor, a scout from Gen.
Gibbon, arrived here last night direct
from Little horn River, anti reports
that Gen. Custer found thel Indian
camp of 2,000 ledges on the Attie
Horn, and attacked it.' He charged
the thickest portion of the camp with
live companies. Nothing is known of
the operations of this detachment ex
cept.their .course as traced by the
dead. Major Reno commanded the•'
other seven companies, anti attacked
the lower portion of the camp. The
Indians poured a murderous fire from
all directions.
(den. Custer,. his two brothers, his
nephew and brother-in-laW were all
killed, and not one Qf.his detachment
escaped. Two hundred and seven
men were buried in one place. The
number of killed is estimated at 300.
and the wounded at thirty-brie. The
Indians surrounded Major Reno's
command. and held them one day in
die woods,. cut off from water, "until
Gibbon's command came in sight,
when they broke camp in the night
And left. • V
The Seventh fought . like tigers, and
,were -overcome by mere brute force.
The Indian loss cannot be estimated,
as they bore oil' and cached most of
their killed.
The remnant bf. the Seventh Cav
alry,and Gibbon's command arc re-'
turning to the mouth of the Little
'Rom, where a steamboat lies. The
Indians got all of the arms of :the
killed soldiers. There were seven
teen commissioned - officers killed.
The whole of the Custer family died
at the head of their column. The ex
act:loss is not known, as both Adju
tants and the :-'ergeant *for were
killed.
The Indian camp was from three
to four miles long, and was twenty
miles up the LittV Horn -from its
mouth. The'lndians actually pulled
Men off their horses in some inStan-
ce.
This report r is given as Taylor told
it; as he was over the field after the
battle. The above is confirmed by
other letters, whieli.say Gen. Custer
has met with a tearful disaster.
It4s said that there has never been
a massacre of our troops by thejudi
ans,. that approached this in extent.
ThOiodoc massacre and the affair
at (Fort Phil Kearney in 181;li most
pearly approached it. In -the latter
two companies were,.
decoyed frOm
the.fort by a feint which the Indians
made to attack a wood train. It was
in the days of the old muzzle-load
infrlmuskets, when it took a handful
of r soldiers too long to load and tire
to 'vtccessfulry defend themselves
against a cloud of Indians; and not
one escaped. , •

A GIGANTIC FRAUD.
WasniNoToN, July :3.—Secretary
Chandler has just discovered in his
Department a fraud of. stupendous
toda s n4,,,do.. • Ars out "' thi•
session directs' the transfer of the
Indian Trust Funds, heretofore held
. by i the Secretary of the Interior. to
the citstody of the Treasurer of the
unite(' ~tates. 11 - TtlfallitUl y to ourn
' plying with this law Secretary Chan
. dler :caused an inventory to be made
of various stocks, bonds, and other
securities constituting the Funds.
On Friday and Saturday last, when
it was found that in addition - to the
$470,000 .taken by Jacob Thompson,
President Buchanan's Secretary of
the Interior, tan. 'Chandler), $1,509-
000 in cash was taken out by some
of Mr. Thompson's predecessors, and
replaced by various kinds of South
ern bonds, including $66,01)0 inhonds
of.the Tennessee Turnpike Company,
and others equally valueless. In
other words, while law required that
the funds should be invested only in
Government- bonds, these unfaithful
';custodians took out a rnillimin and a
half of cash and. put in nominally an
equal 'amount of bon& upon which
little or no interest has ever been
paid, and which are now almost, if
not absolutely,worthless. The United
States, as trustee, owes the Indians
not only Ihe $1.506000 thus practic- j
ally abstracted from the
,funds, but
also the interest thereon, so that the
Government has actually been 4 , 1
frauded - to, an amount betweeen
000,0410 and Vi,000,000. Secretary
Chandler is investigating the suli,;bect
with characteristic vigor, and within
a -few days a complete statement. of
the whole trausaethic will probably I
