STROUDSBURG, MONROE
Cincinnatti Convention.
The Republican National Convention as
sembled at Cincinnati on Wednesday last.
Goverenor Morgan called the convention
to order, and nominated lion. Theodore M.
Pomcroy, of Xew York, for temporary
chairman. The nomination was unanimous
ly adopted. The first day was occupied
with organization.
Mr. Loring, from the committee on
permanent organization, reported as fol
lows : President, Edward McPherson, of
Pennsylvania ; secretary, Irving M. Roan,
of Wisconsin, and also a long list of vice
presidents.
Thursday was devoted to the adoption of
the platform and speech making.
THE PLATFORM.
When in the economy of Providence this
land was to be purged of human slavery,
and when the strength of the government
of the people, by the people, for the peo
ple, was to be demonstrated, the Republi
can party came into power. Its deeds
have passed into history, and we look
back to them with pride incited by their
memories and high aims for the good of
our country and mankind, and looking to
her future with unfaltering courage, hope
and purpose, we, the representatives of
the party in national convention assem
bled, make the following delaration ot
principles :
First The United States of America is
a nation, not a league, by the combined
workings of the national and state gov
ernments, under their respective consti
tutions, the rights of every citizen arc se
cured at home and protected abroad, and
the common welfare promoted.
Second The Republican party has pre
sented these governments to the hun
dredth anniversary of the nation's birth,
and they are now the embodiments of the
great truths spoken at its cradle : '-That
all men arc created equal ; that they are
endowed by their Creaton with certain
inalienable rights," among which are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness;
that for the attainment of these cuds gov
ernments have been instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed ; until these
truths are cheerfully obeyed, if needed, to
be vigorously enforced, the work of the
Iiepublican party is unfinished.
Ihird I he permanent pacification of
the southern section ot the Union, the
complete protection of all its citizens in
the free enjoyment of all their rights, are
duties to which the Republican party are
sacreuiy pledged ; the power to provide
for the enforcement of the principles cm
bodied in the recent constitutional amend
ments in the congress of the United
States, and we declare it to be the solemn
obligation of the legislative and executive
d partmeuts of the government to put into
immediate and vigorous exorcise all their
constitutional powers for removin"- any
just causes of discontent on the part of
any class, and securing every American
citien complete liberty and exact eouali
ty in the exercise of all civil, political and
puoue riguts. ao mis end we impera
1 ! !.!.. rii . 1 i
tively demand a congress and a chiet ex
ecutive, whose courage and fidelity to
these duties shall not falter until these re
suits are placed beyond dispute or recall.
II il T .1 r rt
rouin in the nrst act ol congress
signed by .President Grant, the national
government assumed to remove any doubts
of purpose to discharge all just obligations
to the public creditors, and solcnily pledged
its faith to make a provision at the earliest
practicable period for the redemption of
United btates notes in coin, commercial
prosperity, public morals and the national
credit demand that this promise be fulfilled
by the continuous and steady progress to
specie payments. (Loud and lonir con
tinued applause).
Fifth Under the constitution the pres
ident and heads ot departments are to make
nominations lor omce : the senate is to
advise and consent to the appointment, and
the house of representatives is to accuse and
prosecute faithless officers ; the best in
terests of the public service demand that
these distinctions be respected ; that sena
tors and representatives who may be judges
and accusers, should not dictate the appoint
ments to otlice ; the invariable rule tor ap
pointments should have reference to honesty,
fidelity and capacity of appointees, giving
to the party in power those places where
harmony and vigor of administration require
its policy to be represented, but permitting
all others filled by persons selected with
sole reference to the efficiency of the pub
lic service, and the right of citizens to share
in the honors of rendering faithful service
to their country.
Sixth That we rejoice in the quiet and
conscience of the people concerning po
litical affairs ; we will hold all public officers
to a rigid responsibility and engage that
the prosecution and punishment of all who
betray official trusts, shall be speedy,
thorough, and unsparing. (Cheers).
Seventh Ihe public school system ot
the several states is the bulwark of the
American republic and with a view to its
security and permanence, we recommend an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States forbidding the appropriation
of any public funds or property for the
benefit ol any schools or institutions under
sectarian control." (Great cheers continued
for severel minutes.)
In response to repeated calls General
Ilawley read the plank a second time, and
the delegates and audience repeated the
cheers.
Eiglh The revenue necessary for ,cur-
rtnt expenditures and the obligations of
COUNTY, PA., JUNE
WKweruwri.
the public debt must be largely derived
for the duties upon importations which so
far as possible should be adjusted to pro
mote the interest of American labor and
advance the prosperity of the whole coun
try. (Cheers).
Ninth We reaffirm our opposition to
further grants of the public lands to cor
porations and monopolies, and demand that
the national domain be devoted to free
homes for the people.
Tenth It is the imperative duty of the
government to modify existing treaties
with European governments, that the same
protection shall be afforded American citi
zens that is given to native born citizens,
and all necessary laws be passed to protect
emigrants, in the absence of power in the
state for that purpose.
Eleventh It is the immediate duty of
congress to fully investigate the effect of
emigration and importation of Mongolians
on the' moral and material interests of the
country. (Applause).
Twelfth The Republican party recog
nizes with approval the substantial advance
recently made towards the establishment of
equal rights for women by the many im
portant amendments effected by Republican
legislatures in the law, which concern the
personal and property relations of wives,
mothers and widows, ami by the appoint
ment and election of women to superinten
dence of education, charities and other pub
lic trusts ; the honest demands of this class
of citizens for additional rights and privi
leges and immunities should be treated
with respectful consideration. (Applause.)
Thirteenth The constitution confers
upon congress sovereign power over the
territories of the United States for their
government and the exercise of their powers,
it is the right and duty of congress to pro
hibit and extirpate in the territories that
relic of barbarism, polygamy, and we de
mand such legislation as shall secure this
end and the supremacy of American in
stitutions in all the territories. (Applause.)
Fourteenth The pledges which the
nation has given to our soldiers and sailors
must be fulfilled ; the grateful people will
always regard those who perilled their lives
for the country's preservation in the kindest
remembrance.
Fifteenth We sincerely deprecate all
sectional feeling and tendencies ; we there
fore note with deep solicitude that the
Democratic party counts as its chief hope
of success upon the electoral vote of a
united south, secured through the efforts
of those who were recently arrayed against
the nation ; we invoke the earnest attention
of the country to the grave truth that a
success thus achieved would reopen sec
tional strife, and imperil the national honor
and human rights.
Sixteenth We charge the Democratic
party as being the same in character and
spirit as when it sympathized with trea
son, and Avith making its control of the
house of representatives the triumph and
opportunity of the nation's recent foes, with
reasserting and applauding, in the national
capitol, the sentiments of unrepentant re
bellion ; Avith sending Union soldiers to the
rear ; with deliberately proposing to re
pudiate the plighted faith of the go'crn
ment ; Avith being equally false and imbecile
upon the overshadoAviug financial question;
Avith thwarting the ends of justice by its
partizan mismanagement and obstruction of
investigation ; Avith proving itself, through
the period of its ascendency in the loAvcr
house of congress, utterly incompetent to
administer the goA'crnmcnt ; Ave Avarn the
country against trusting a party thus alike
uuAvorthy, recreant and incapable. (Cheers.)
ScA'entecnth The national administra
tion merits commendation for its honorable
Avork in the management of domestic and
foreign affairs, and President Grant deserves
the continued and hearty gratitude of the
American people for his patriotism and his
immense services in Avar and in peace.
(Cheers).

Mr. Hayes having receiA'cd a majority,

The scene of excitement Avhieh followed is
indescribable. Shouting, Avaving of hats,
fans, cheering, and the band playing "Yan
kee Doodle.""
Mr. Wheeler, of Ncav York, on the first
ballot, Avas declared the unanimous choice
of the conA'cntion, for Yiee President.
Mr. Smith of New York, secretary of
the committee on resolutions, offered the
following to be added to the platform :
We present as our candidates for pres
ident and vice president of the United
States, two distinguished statesmen, of
eminent ability and character, and conspicu
ously fitted for the high offices, and we con
fidently appeal to the American people to
entrust the administration of the public
affairs to Rutherford B. Hayes and Wm.
A. Wheeler. Adopted.
The usual vote of thanks to the presi
dent of the conA-cntion and other officers,
and to Cincinnati for its hospitality Arere
adopted.
Mr. Egglcston, on behalf of Ohio, re
turned thanks for the nomination of Ohio's
candidate for president. The conA'cntion
then adjourned Avith three cheers for the
ticket.
A Missionary in Boxing Glovos.
The San Erancisco Coll is responsible
for this :
The other day, when the wind Avhistlcd
sad toned jigs around the battery, a little
old man entered a saloon in that A'l'einity
and asked the bar-keeper if he could leave
some tracts there.
"A Avhole car-load, if you Avant to," was
the prompt reply, and the little old man
placed a package on a beer-table, and softly
said :
"There's no nobler cause than the cause
of the heathen. We should, all contribute
a small share of our Avorldly wealth to
shed the Gospel light across the seas."
A pair of boxing gloA'cs Avere softly re
posing on a table, and the little old man
felt of them and Avent on :
"It makes me sad to sec such sinful
things lying around Avhen the cost of one
glove might save a dozen souls in Africa."
Three or four of the boys had dropped
in, and the saloon-keeper Aviuked at them
and replied :
"Do you want to earn fi'c dollars for
the heathen ?"
"Verily, I do."
"Put on the gloves with me and knock
me down, and I'll ante up cash enough to
coiiA-ert a whole regiment of African sin
ners." "The cause is noble, the inducement
great," mused the little old man, as he toy
ed Avith the gloves.
The boys encouraged him to go in, desir
ing to see him knocked Avrong end up, and
he finally got out of his OA'crcoat Avith the
explantatiou :
"It can't be a sin to box for the cause of
the heathen."
The saloonist meant to lift him ovir one
of the tables at the first bloAV, but the bloAV
Avas Avarded off very handsomely, and the
little old man sighed :
"Ah um ! The heathen Avalk in
Avickedness, and they haA'c souls to be
saved!"
"Look out iioav !" cried the saloonist, as
he got in a left-hander.
"Verily I will, and I will giA'c thee one
in return for the heathen."
He struck a staggering blow, and the
saloonist didn't feel quite so enthusiastic as
on the start. He took the dofensiA'c, and
he soon had all the AAork he could do.
"That's another for the ignorant minds
on the far off shore !" sighed the little old
man, as he knocked the saloonist against
the Avail.
There Avasn't any "science" about him,
but he struck to kill, and his arms Avere
flying around like the spokes of a wagon
Avheel.
"Don't-crowd a foliar," called out the
saloonist, as he Avas being driven back, and
he got mad and put in his hardest licks.
He' meant to smash the little old man's nose
as flat as a Avindow glass, but ho could not
do it. He got in two or three fair hits,
and was beginning to regain his courage,
Avhen the aged stranger sorroAvfully re
marked :
"My friend, the heathen call, and I can
not tarry much longer. Take this one and
it may broaden your vicAvs on the heathen
question.. Receive this one in the spirit
tendered, and may you be sure the five dol
lars shall be a beacon light as far as it Avill
KO.

right and left, and the saloonist got the last
on the ear as he dodged the first! lie went
over in beautiful style, and as he slowly re
gained his feet lie felt in his vest pocket
for the wager.
"Ifyou'li come around here to-night and
do that again I'll double the money !" he
growled as he paid the Avagcr.
"My road points toward Bosling," softly
replied the old man, "and I cannot tarry.
Let us part friendly, for I only boxed thee
for the heathen's sake. I gave to thee,
thou hast given to the heathen, and now.
farewell !"
How They Hang a Man in China.
I obserA-ed one mode of Chinese capital
punishment known as the "cage." The
"cage" used was between two and three
feet square, and over six feet high. Near,
the bottom Avas a close floor of plank palings.
The four sides Avere open work of plank
palings. The planks composing the cover
Avere made to fit around a man's neck, and
under his feet a number of bricks one above
the other, just enough to enable him to
tiptoe. When this position, from weariness,
became unendurable, bis only relief Avas to
hang by his neck. The design is to make
a man suffer as much as possible, but not
to kill him too quickly. Usually after a
criminal has been standing thus for a day
or so, one of the bricks is removed, and
then another, until he hangs by his neck
altogether. It is "said that a strong man
ordinarily Avill endure the torture several
days before life becomes extinct.
On the present occasion devath was has
tend more quickly. The man Avas put in
the cage Sunday afternoon, I believe about
one o'clock. I heard of it on Monday morn
ing, and went over to Amoy about tAvo
o'clock in the afternoon to see him. He had
been dead some time. The guard said that
he died just before daylight ; that he Avas
conscious of having committed great crimes,
and had hastened his oAvn death by kicking
the bricks from under his feet. But the
people said (priA-atcly) that the guard wish
ed to get rid of their charge that they might
prepare to keep Ncav Year's day (the Chi-
Leese Jsew lear was near at hand.) and
therefore had taken the bricks from under
his feet during the night. This probably
Avas the fact. Christian at Work.
Advice vs. Cash.
The other morning when a raw-boned
stranger Avas pacing up Broadway he Avas
accosted by a chrouie old beggar who
Avhined out :
"I haA'e been sick for tAvenf v-two years !"
"Woosh ! but that's tough !" replied the
stranger, as he came to a halt. "What
seems to be the leading complaint ?"
"FeA'er sore, sir."
"Fever sore ! ay by you've just staruck my
family ! 3Iy late Avife had fever sore for
clcA'en straight years."
