Last year the Democratic party, in order
to get tho Votes of white men, took high
ground against negro suffrage They eaid
it was derogatory to the dignity of white
men and against the Constitution. Ihey
swore this was and ever should be a 'white
man's government.' They played on this
nirinir until It was worn out. They have

Death of Hon. C. L. Vallnntllgham.
The telegraph on Saturday morning last
announced tho accidental shootiugof Hon.
C. L. Vallandichatn by his own hands.
Wo present' to our readers an obituary of
tho deceased, and how tha accident occur
"Ho was absent at Lebanon, defendin
ono McGchah, charged with the murder ol
one Meyers, at Hamilton some weeks ago.
By comparing tho returns published in
our last issue, it will bo seen that the can
didates slaughtered at the late Democratic
Convention were by a fair vote elected or
nominated by majorities ranging from two
to lour hundred. But as "there is many
n slip between tho cup and tho lip," they
' unfortunately were compelled to submit.
Tho candidates placed on the ticket are
now endeavoring to bring bout aro concili-
ntion.nnd urgcthera to "stick to the ticket."
Many ot the old and consistent Democrats
will probably begin to doubt tho sincerity
of some of theso leaders, and begin to think
that they are influenced nioro by tho love
of oftlce than of principles. It looks to us
itiul the old trick "Blick to tho ticket" has
Lad it day, uud that Democrats arc begin
ning to look more favorably upon men who
work for principles than thoso who aro
laying plans constantly to secure offices.
and are ready to adopt any platform, mly
so it ia wide enough to get them intra pay
ing situation.
The XorThCaroiiua Ku-Viux seem to
have no regard-whatever for tho Demo
cratic Varty oftno North. "While tho or
gans of tho Northern Democracy aro itera
ting and reiterating the Boothing story that
all reports of outrages upon Republicans in
the South arc merely political fustian, these
indiscreet ruffians, absolutely regardless of
partisan management, pull down and drag
out n Republican printing office in Ruther
ford County, capture a Republican Repre
sentative to tho Legislature, beat him, and
drum Win out of town, after making l.im
promise to cease plaguing tho "Conserva
tive" party, and bo play a variety of fan
tastic tricks which arc all traceable direc
tly to the Ku-Klux wing of tho Democracy
of the South. All thin is naturally eSpec
ted by those who aro familiar with the con-
tlilion of thoso parts of tho South which
have been described, but it is nam on
newspapers and orators who have denied
tho exi&tcnoo of anything like Ku-Klux.
TrtAT $iM,600. It is very evident now
that the County Commissioners aro deter
mined to make the best of it this year. Last
year they bad over 195,000 to Work on, and
the present year it will probably go a thou
sand or two higher. . .The amount reported
by tho County Auditors for 1S70, was un
collected taxes for 18G0 and previous years,
$30,033 09. The amount of tax levied for
1370 is S55.919 43, making altogether 95,
553 42. Or this amount they report 834,
004 GS expended and 11,151 21 in tho
bands of favorite collectors. After having
this largo amount on hand they tell us that
tho county is indebted 27,575 7G, on which
interest is paid, whilo tho outstanding taxes
show no interest. For 1871 wo learn that
a tax of 7 mills has been levied, aud as tho
valuation on property is much higher than
previous years, it will run tho taxes up to
about $50,000 00, which with tho 41,402,
21 outstanding will mako tho snug sum of
over 97,000. Will the tax payers continue
to uphold the Ring aud pay for the whistle
'at these rates ?
Tue Pennsylvania Editorial Association
met at AVilliamspoi t, on Wednesday of last
weelu About ouo hundred editors, nc-
compaiucd by their wives, from dillerent
parts of tho Stale were present. During
tho forenoon tho party kft the Herdic
llouso for a visit to tho Boom. After din
rioi tho Association met at Elliott's Aca
demy of Music, and received a formal wel
come from Mayor Perkins. Tho address
of the Mayor was responded to by II. t
Smith, of Lancaster, l'resident of tho Con
vention. J. L. ltingwalt, read an essay ou
"Newspapers," and a poem was ready by
Mr. E. II. Mundy. In the evening a bail'
quet was given at tho llerdic llouso. O.
Thursday the party left on a visit for Wat-
kin's tili'ii and Minneqna Springs.
HOW AHETIIJC MlOJlTY FALLEN. The
Democrats who supported the party and
its nominations, from pi uiciplc, arc now
very naturally indignant when they behold
their loaders, without warning, and from
motives of sheer policy, dropping opposi-
tiou to utro suffrage, which was tho chiel
corucrstouo of their political fabric. They
had confidence In Mr. Wallace, and arc
disappointed to see him eurreuder to the
"abolition platform."
The Cincinnati OuzetU says: "Unfor-
tuuately, tho people of tlio .South applaud

p(1 nhmit nil the votes of white men that
wero 'lying about loose,' and they now
go iu for tho colored vole, by unsaying all
that they have heretofore said by acknowl
edging that tho 15th Amendmont is tho
law of the land, and ought to bo obeyed,
aud they aro willing to take a colored man
to their bosom and treat him as 'a man
and a brother.' This is about tho most
unblushing bid for negro votes that ever
was made. Never was meat on the sham

of such prostitution I Let us hear no more

had expressed a doubt as to tho possibility
of Meyers having shot "himself in tho way
described by Mr. Vnllandigham, when the
latter remarked : "i will snow you in nan
a second."
He nicked un tho revolver, and. nuttiha
it in his right-hand pocket, drew it out far
enough only to keep the muzzle touching
his body, and snapped tho hammer. Tho
weapon exploded, ana sent its deadly mis
sile into the abdomen, at a point almost
corresponding with that in which Meyers
was shot.
Mr. Vallandisham immcdintclv exclaim
ed that ho had taken up tho wrong pistol.
Tho flash and report wero nlnrm enough
for Mr. McBurney, who immediately sum
moned assistance and despatched messen
gers for physicians.
Two revolvers wero on tue tame, ono
loaded and the oilier unloaded. Unfortu
nately, Mr. VallandiKham seized tho for

a man of refined manners and address, and
enjoyed much social as well bb political pop

mate consequences of the traditions and
teachings of his party, and won for him
self a bad eminence among those who labor

Standing Committee of tho Democracy of idea hpon the mind of his friend, cocked
-i i r -, i 1 1. T 7 7,. T?v.ii..-7
held a meeting at West Chester, on Thurs
day of last week, to consider the action and
platform of the late Convention at Harris
burg. The "Ninth Resolution" was duly
considered, and unanimously condemned
as uncalled-for, time-serving and at war
with tho settled policy of tho Democracy.
Such, we understand, was the unanimous
opinion of tho Committee, who also agreed
that if this platform was endorsed by the
candidates they could not receive tho votes
of half tho Democratic party in tlie county,
Thus far tho old line Democrats havo re
ceived the "new departure" platform not
only with, coldness but hostility. Having
been educated1 to oppose negro suffrage,
they consider that to bo consistent they
must oppose it. The situation is ono cal
culated to try their mettle. Consistency
requires them to stand their ground. Party
subserviency demand's them to change it,
Mr. Wallace, aud tho wire-pullers at Har-
risburg, say that tho success of the party
demands that they shall take tho negro to
their keeping. Principle whispers back tho
lansuago of Hexby Clay : "I would
rather bo right than successful." Tho situ
ation is an embarrassing ono for the
Democracy, the new platform lias not only
left them , with nothing to stand on, but
drives back into their old ranks all the Re
publicans who were unwilling to swallow
negro suffrage. Their opposition to tho
Republican party has been ono of priuciplc
especially on the negro suffrage question.
But when their distinctive principles aro
sacrificed by their leaders at Harrisburg,
iu the mere hopo of power, no wonder that
hundreds feel disposed to allow the Repub
lican candidates to walk over tho course
rather than by the'r votes to sanction tho
schemes of treachery. The men who man
aged the State Convention have shown that
tho question of Negro Suffrage has been a
mere catch-penny. They wore against
Negro Suffrage last year they aru for it
this year. Where they will be next year
depends upon circumstances. They havo
turned "faced right about." Many Demo
crats have an old-fashioned idea that, on a
question ofricjc,tliey cannot turn at the
biddiug of political leaders.
It Is cstini'UcH by Mr.- Dclmar that
about 40,000,000 bushels of breadstuff's, or
ouo-lhirtielh part of the total grain crop of
the United Slates, is aunually made iuto
whisky. The quantity of proof spirits ca
pable of being extracted from a bushel of
grain depends much upou tho skill of the
distiller. As much as seventeen quarts has
been produced from one bushel. Tho aver
age iu good distilleries, wilh all the modern
improvements, is from twelve to fourteen
quarts ; but tho general avoraro in all the
distilleries ia the country is much less,
Strychnine and other powerful agents arc
sometimes introduced in tho process of
mnshing, for the purpose of increasing the
production. Iu 1870 tho total Federal
revenues from 6pirils, including produc
tion, liceuse, stump, sale, aud all other
taxes, amounted to 50,000,000. This
leaves out of view fermeutcd liquors, such
as beer and wiuc, and omits all custom
duties,
and dischareed tho weapon. Mr. Vallan
digham shot himself with his own pistol,
an improve Smith & Wesson, of thirty-
two ennnre.
Mr. Vallanditrhan. was In his 49th vear

Ohio, in 1822. Ho received a liberal edu
cation at Jetlerson College, and spent a tew
months in Maryland as a teacher. In 1810
he began the study of law, and in 1842 he
was admitted to tho bar in Ohio. Ho en
tered public lifo in 1845, being elected a
member ot tlio Ohio Legislature, i rom
1847 to 1819 ho edited a Democratic iour-
nal at Dayton, nnd from that time until his
death he was a prominent, though rather
erratic leader ot the democratic party,

ment of tho United States, llis utterances
wero caught up by the Confederates as a
sign of hope to them, which led Vallandig
ham to further excesses. In 1803 he pass
ed the limits of prudence, and was arrested
by order of Genercl Ambrose E. Burusido
for seditious utterances inside of the Union
Hues, by publicly expressint; sympathy for
those in arms against the Government of
tho United States, and declaring disloval
sentiment1? and opinions, with tho object
and purposo of weakening the power of the
government in its enorts to suppress an un
lawful rebellion. Mr. Vallaudicham was
tried by court-martial, General U, B. Pot
ter presiding, nnd sentenced to close con
finement at Fort Warren durum the con
tinuance of the war. This sentence was
changed by Presideut Lincoln to one of
transportation across the rebel lines, which
was executed by General Rosecraus. The
Tub correspondent of the Philadelphia
Evening Tclajrapli, accompaning the mem
bers of the Press of that city to tho Penn
sylvania Editorial Convention at William
sport last week, in describing tlio scenery
nlong tho Susquehanna says :
"Along the banks of tho Susquehanna
the scenery assumes a new loveliness. Its
broad, placid waters aro farmed into
glorious picture by tho grand contours ot
Harrisburg. Further on, the graceful
curves harden iuto severer maiesty, nnd
palisade-like blulls rise from tho stream in
long stretches of regular rock, looking like
the vestigatcs ot the city wan girdling tho
homo of some extinct -giant race. At each
successive step in ascending tho river tho
scenery is happily diversiucd, tho lulls at
times assuming jrcntlo undulating curves

portions of greater grandeur. Tho skies

lustrous intermingling s ides that mark

luxuriance. In tho midst of tho wido ex

from General Bumside, issued on the 13th

all persons found within tho Union lines
who committed acts for the benefit of tho

however, determined to be a martyr, and,
iiiereioie, insisted ou the Uonlederates con
sidering and treating him as a nrisouer of
war, he not perceiving the absurdity of tho
proposition. The arrest of Vnllaudichim
caused great excitement among the Demo
crats, aud numerous protests were tor-
warded to Presideut Liucoiu, who in an
swer to tho Albany protest, thus defined
the position ot the government.

1st. Because tho Republican nartv. as a
political organization, has been faithful to
tho country, defended its lifts against its en

it was cicmeu oy traitors.

pathy wun ine men who banded and arm-fclnir
cd to disrupt tho Union, and who for six
years warred, at the sacrifice of thousands
ot lives and minions oi dollars, to destroy
the government.
3d . Because if there bad not boon a Re
nubllcan nartv we would not now have a
government. The strength and patriotism of
the Kcpuoiican party ot the land, and the
unwavering devotion of their leaders, alono
saved the Union and perpetuated tho government.
4th? Becauso,if there had not been a De
mocratic party, slavery would never have
attempted rebellion, lho covenant into
which the slave-masters encouraged them
with the hope that treason would bo suc
cessful, as they believed, tho Democratic
party 'of tho North would be strong enough
to prevent troops from going South to con
tend with rebel organizations.
5tb. Becauso the material resources of
the nation have always been protected by
Republican policy. Tho labor which is
now prosperous owes its vitality to tho in
vigorating policy ot ltcpuuiicau rule.
Gib. Because tho influence which used
slavery to crush a frco government is now
wining to allow pauper labor to destroy
free labor.
7th. Because tho only reliance which the
creditors of the country havo for the secu
rity ot their investments, is in tho itcpubli-
can party being kept in power, ucpudia-
tion is ns sure to follow Republican defeat
as rebellion was the direct result ot JJemo
crntic teaching.
bth. lsecausc our system ol internal im
provement, now so potent iu its influence
for good, would, by Democratic victory,
become tho direct prey of a corrupt lobby,
ever ready to use the representatives of tho
poople in furtherauce cf schemes to plunder
private and public enterprise.
9th. Because the Democratic party, as
tho advocate of direct taxation, would re
store tho tax on real estate, repealed at the
instanco of a Republican Government.
10th. Because tho Republican party has
secured for the American peoplo a foreign
policy by which wo now wield moro power
in Europe than our government ever pos
sessed iu the old world, by reason of which
millions of our bonds are held by European
creditors.
11th. Because the Democratic party hay

New Youk, Juno 19. Tho particulars
ot the tioublo murtlor ami suicide ot JJr
Connolly on Sunday are of absorbing in
terest. Dr. Connolly had been for some
two or three day on a licriodical "spree,"
and Saturday and yesterday he took occa
sional noses ot morphine to quiet his nerves.
About 4 r. M. yesterday lie entered the
bedroom of himself and wife, on tho rear o!
tho second floor, taking his two children
with him and locking the door, llis wife
soon afterwards endeavored to enter, but
without success.
Tho police, warned by the neighbors
entered Ihe house about 7 o'clock, and
forced open the door. The room being dark
the gas was lighted, when a horrible spec
tacle- was presented. " On the bed lay the
father anil children, nil dend, and literally
bathed in blood. Tho children had noth
ing but their night clothing on. The fath
er was clad in a white undershirt, covered
with blood, while a pair of red flannel
drawers served to add to tho ghastliness of
liis appearance, leading ono to believe, at
tho first clancc, that his entire clothing
was soaked in blood from head to fool.
Tho head-board was spotted with blood,
and the bed clothing and mattresses soak
ed. A rubber ball, with which the chil
dren had apparently been amusing them
selves, all bloody, lay on the lied. The
Wen pou the lunatic had used also lay on tho
lied. It was a carving knife, with a blade
sixteen inches in length, aud tailoring
gradually to a line point. The throats of
both children had been cut, their iugulnr
veins being severed. The throat of the
father was cut nearly from ear to car, and
there wero besides several stab wounds in
the breast in the vicinity of the heart. A
physician examined the bodies, and an
nounced that death had 'occurred several
hours previous. Mrs. Connally was ren
dered insane for tho time by the terrible
discovery.
Funeral of Mr. YallMudigliuiu.
Daytov. Juno 20. Tho funeral . of
Vnllandigham to-day was of a most im
posing diameter. Tho procession was
two miles long, composed of persons of nil
politeal parties and prolcssions. Jiusiness
in many parts of tho city was suspended
during tho passage of the cortege. The
county, city aud private buildings were
draped in morning.
Ihe pall-bearers wero A. li. Thurman,
