DEMOCB ATI O
STATE CONVENTION.
At the last formal meeting of the Democratic
State Central Committee, it was resolved that the
State Convention should be called to meet at Har
risburg on Wednesday, the 21st day of June inst.—
But, having since loarned from a majority of the
Committee, and been advised by many other lead
ing Democrats of the State, tli.t a postponement to
a later day wou d,on many accounts, be acceptable,
and is generally desired, I hereby give notice that
the next Democratic State Convention of Pennsyl
vania will convene at the Hall of the House of Rep
resentatives, in the city of Harrisburg. on THURS
DAY, THE 24T11 DAY OF AUGUST NEXT, at
one o'chck P. M.
C. L WARD, Chairman,
Towakda, June Ist, 1565.
I3T The Democratic papers of the State re
respectfully requested to copy.
The Providence Journal, in an article on
Mason & Hamlin's Cabinet Organs, speaks
of these excellent and now celebrated instru
ments rs follows: "For volume and quality
of tone; for variety and beauly of effects;
for excellence in crescendo aud diminuendo ;
for quickness of response to the touch in lap
id staccato and legato passages ; for the ease
and entire freedom from fatigue with which
the bellows is operated ; for the stability of
every part of the workmanship and for ca
pacity for standing well in tune, the new
Cabinet Organs of Meesrs. Mason & Ham
lin—portable reed instruments, the largest
of which are smaller than ordinary piano
fortes—are not only quite equal to the small,
er pipe organs of the best makers, but much
superior to the generality of those heretofore
used in small churches and halls, and for
private practice." > r
Vermont.
The Black Republicans of Vermont have
just had their State Convention, at which
they resolved in favor of Negro Suffrage
This makes the third State where the Ne
gro has been formally established on the Re
publican platform,—Conneticut by Legisla
ture, and lowa and Vermont by convention.
Of course the latter state will give Sambo
full welcome ; they scarcely know what a ne
gre is/up amoing the Green Mountains, and
to worsn.p ov , car
bv. The Republicans of Ohio dodged the
question, as a stroke of policy, but made it
the party issue by nominating a candidate
Governor from the YY estern Reserve, who is
not suspected of any sympathy for the man.

Arrest ot'Hon, E. Etheridge.
The military arrest of the Hon. Emerson
Etheridge. a candidate foi Congress in Tenn
essee, on the account of his political senti
ments, is anoiher of the lawless assumptions
of despotic power to which the people have
become accustomed iu the last four years
They used to be justified upon the plea
thatitwaswar time, and that civil rights
were therefore suspended; but since peace
has come and all resistence in the South en
tirely coased, we find them going on just the
same. Etheridge has been from the start one
of the strongest Union men in Tennessee and
was driven into exile on that account in 1861
AN APPROPRIATE MOTTO. —During the cel
ebration of the 4th at Homsdale, Wayne
County, a citizen by the name of Isaac Sny
der displayed a beautiful banner inscribed as
follows :
"Let it be ours to bury in the grave of the
dead past the heart burnings and animosities
that have been engendered in the strife ; ours
to extend the hand of conciliation and for
giveness to the repentant ; ours to win back
to tho household of the faithful our erring
brethren ; ours to seek the good of our whole
country by manfully sustaining the res
toration policy of President Johnson McClell
an, Grant, Shertnon, Sheridan, and of the
Great Teacher."
"Whatsoever ye would that men should do
onto you, do ye even so unto them."
CRIMINALS AND THE LAW.— -There appears
te be a perfect saturnalia among the robbers,
thieves and blacklegs all over the country.
Our exchanges are filled with horrid details
of their operations, including the violation of
the persons of unprotected females. Some
of their deeds exceed in audacity anything
known in tho ar.nals of crime. We trust
that that the officers who are called upon to
administer the law will discharge their du
ties fearlessly. Lot every one convicted feel
its full force. The laws should be unmitiga
tingly administered, and an end, if possible,
to these rapidly occurring crimes of all sorts.
The protection of society demands that our
courts should deal out summary justice to
the vagabonds.
car Last winter the Legislature of Mas
sachusetts passed a law fining every landlord
who refused to allow his colored boarders to
at at the table with his white guests the
wm of fiftyj dollars. It is said that several
negroes have been making small fortunes in
Boston by taking advantage of this law
They put up at certain hotels, demand places
at tho public table, and when tbey are re
fused they remind the landlords of the pen
ally and offer to compromise for five or ten
doUaca. Talk about black mail ! This is
the blackest kind of mailing by the blacks.
Turning to be Democratic.
The leading New York Republican papers
are beginning to see the bvid writing on the
wail and are gradually shaping their course
accordingly. A few days 6ince, the Timet
declared that the Democracy and the Demo
cratic party would become supreme as soon
as the war was ended. The Tribune , not to
be behind its cotemporary,on the 11th inst.,
produced a long article against military
courts and taking its standing with the de
mocracy on this question, from which we
making the following extract:
"The war being over—not a shot having
been fired for weeks, and not a man oa earth
being now in arras to resist the authority of
the United Slates—we renew our prayer for
a prompt, lull, unequivocal restoration of the
privilege of Habeas Corpus, coupled with a
clearing out of our military prisons by the
liberation of their tnma.es or their rendition
to the civil authorities for detention, trial
and punishment. We can imagine no good
reason for the further dominance of inirtial
law in any State north ol the Potomac and
Ohio. Wo have had abundant exhibitions
of "military justice" throughout the past four
years, as was reasonable and fit—in fact,
racber more than that."
Let military men be subject to military
law, if they must j butgiveus civil law for
everybody tlee.
Next winter, we trust the Secretary of
War will report, either voluntarily or by
order of Congress, on these points :
1. How many Courts- Martial have been
held since 1860 ?
2. What was the duration of these Courts
respectively ?
• 3. What was their cost respectively and
in the aggregate ?
4 In hi.w many cases were the findings re
versed or modified, or the penalties imposed
thereby remitted, by the revising authority ?
5. What would be the probable effect of
confining these Courts to the trial of offeu
derß in the military service of the Union to
those arraigned for disloyal acta in the
States which are the arena of actual hostili
ties ?
There have been instances when we need
ed in the field all our officers who possjss
any fighting capacity, yet when not less than
fifty of them wre serving or dancing atten
dance on Court-Martial -half a dozen of
them being engaged for three months or over,
in the midst of a momentous campaign, in
proving one Brigadirr a scoundrel at a cost to
the Government of not less tbau $20,000,
when any Tombs lawyer would have done
that same conclusively in three hours, at a
cost of $25.
'We hear talk of more courts martial for
the trial of other than persons in our milita
ry service, and we protest in advance
against them. We have courts enough, law
enough, and at least as fair a chance for
justice with these as with any that can be
i._ r '- • - j ■; viuer
frooitbe War Department. We do not
much ca;e what Europe may say of our ju
risprudence ; we are only anxioua that she
shall have no just cause for censure. If any
rebel has conspired to starve our soldiers, or
Infect our cities with pestelence, or do any
act abhorrent to humanity, let him bo fairly
tried for the crime ; or if it is thought best
to arraign some of the rebel chief* for trea
son, so be it; but let u deal with them ac
cording to law. It will be a grievoua mis
take—an arowal of weakness—a blunder
and a folly— -to hold another court martial
for the trial of other than military offenders
belonging to our own army. Such a court
can render no verdict that will carry weight
with it in the judgment of impartial Chris
tomdoiu—the fact that 6uch a tribunal is re
sorted to will be trumpeted by thousands as
a virtual confession that a fair trial WAS not
desired—its verdict of guilty will be decided
as preluding and preparing a judicial murder,
ijjt us return to the dominion of law !"
The Health of Darts—A Touching Inci
dent.
The Washington correspondent of the
the New York limes,
The newspaper reports of the health of
Jeff. Davis, are, without doubt great exagger
ations of fact, There is no reason to believe
that Surgeon Craven, who left here for the
North yesterday,and who has chsrge of the
prison, would not have reported to the gov
eminent, were if true, that Jeff. Davis is sink--
iog rapidly, as has been repnrteb; bnt up to
this hour no official information has been re
ceived here tending toshuw that he is crit
cally ill. About 2 o'clock to day, a smart
bright lad of about sixteen years, called at tbo
Executive mansion, edged his way through
the crowd wailing for an audience with the
President, and presented his card to the ush
er, requesting an interview with Mr. John
son. In a short time he was admitted.—
" Well, my lad, "said the President, "how
can I serve you ?" "I learn, Sir," said the
boy, "that Mr. Davis is very ill, and I desire
permission to send or take him some delica
cies suited to his o million." "I do not
think I can act in the matter." repl ed the
President," and I will give you a note to the
Secretary of War." The boy shortly after
applied at the War Department, and obtain
ed an immediate hearing. Upon interroga
tion he said he was the brother of a Rich
mond editor. lie felt a great deal of interest
in Jeff. Davis. lie had seen him but once in
Richmond. That he heard he was ill, and
needed some of the delicacies that invalids
usually crave, and be wanted to supply them.
The lad was informed tbut no official infor
mation had been received of Jeff. Davis' ill
ness, sod the papers which give accounts of
his supposed sickness also state that all the
care required was bestowed upon the prisoner
The boy expressed surprise at the last state
ment, nd remarking that be would make
further inquiry, and call again i n two days,
departed, bowing himself out in the most
dignified manner.
Tbe Back Tax to be Paid by the People,
It may not be generally known that our
State Backs have all been obligod to go into
the National Banking System or to go out
of existence, and that consequently the State
will) lose.its taxes from this source—to be
made up otherwise—a sum not less than
$500,000 annually. The receipts list year
were were in fact $538,631,71. Increased
taxation was therefore necessary to make up
for this loss, and for this the act of the 30th
of April, 1864, provides, by taking tbe ton
nage of all railroad companies, and the ear
nings or income of a class of incorporated or
unincorporated companies, not before paying
tax upon dividends, a tax of three per cent.,
in addition to taxes paid under existing laws,
a tax of three mills on dvposites and upon
the whole amount by county, city, bcrough
or district bonds without regard to tbe rate
of interest:
SECTION 7. That so aiuch of tha forty
second section, of the act approved the twen
ty-mnth day of April, one thousand eight
hundred and forty-four, as provides for the
abatement of five per centum on the amount
of state taxes, paid fifteen days prior to the
first of September, in any year, be and the
same is hereby repealed ; and, hereafter, it
shall be the duty of the Auditor General to
add five por centum penalty to each country,
on all State taxes remaining unpaid, on the
first day of August, one thousand eight hun
dred and sixty five, and of each year there
after, which shall be charged in tbe dupli
cate, against each delinquent tax payer in
arrears, on and after said day ; that in addi
tion to the taxes, already imposed by law,
all persons appointed to an office, by the
Governor, or elicted, under the provisions of
any law >f this Common wealth, the gross re
ceipts of whose office shall exceed six hun
dred dollars, and not exceed twelve hundred
dollars, ehall pay into tbe treasury of the
State, a tax of me per centum, and on all
amounts, over twelve hundred dollars, and
not exceeding twenty five hundred dollars,
fivs per centum annually.— Act of 30 th April
1864.
The abatement not being allowed will In
crease taxation about $60,000 annually.
Efforts to Procure Mrs. Suntt's Corpse,
for Chrlstiau Burial.
From the Washington Union-
Before the body of Mrs. Suratt was cut
down, her friends asked General Hancock
for permission to remove the corpse, and had
in waiting Mr. Harvey, the undertaker.
Gen. Hancock said he had no authority to
grant the request, and referred the friends to
the Secretary's office, and finding him in,
and being refused permission to see him, the
following note was sent to him :
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 7, 1865.
To the Hon. Secretary of War:
Slß —The friends of Mrs, Suratt, whose
sphere in life has not been widely different
from that of other competent and respectable
r ucus v cat ticavtj |BK |)TI IIHIHUI)
to remove her body from its present grave in
the enclosure of the Arsenal Prison, aiy] to
be permitted to give it a Christian burial
They desire to do this this afternoon.
Yours very respectfully,
FREDERICK. A. AIKEN,
JOHN W. CLAMPITT.
In a few minutes the above was returned,
with the following indorsement on the back:
"Referred to this Judge A lvocate General,
Chief of the Bureau of Military Justice, for
report, and to give such directions as to the
disposition of the body as he deems proper.
EDWIN M. STANTOH,
"Secretary of War.
"July 7, 1865.
"To the Judge Advocate General, Chief of
the Bureau of Military Justice."
Gen. Ilo't had likewise given orders that
no one should be permitted to see him during
the day ; but the note was sent to him, and
by h tia referred back to the Secretary of
War, and by the Secretary back to Gen.
Holt, and by Gen. Jlult again to the Secreta
ry of War back again to Gen. Holt, who at
last sent the following verbal message to Mr
Aiken, through one of his clerks, a Mr.
Wright.
"Request will bo considered, and at a
proper time mny be complied with, but not
at present."
This is a simple statement of the facts.
Stand back White Soldiers,
The notorious black Republican Abolition
iat, Wende'l Phillips, who with Sumner, Wil
son, Kelly, Stevens, and our woolly-head
neighbor of the Record, are advocating negro
equality by giving the negro the right to vote
made a'speech at Farningham, Massachusetts,
on the 4th inst. in which he proclaimed:
"The negro bears the palm in virtue , GAL
LANTRT, aDd PATRIOTISM, in this war."
Columbus Delano, a prominent Ohio Re
publican says, in a recent speech—
"The heroism of negro troops has added
lustre to our history, and without the aid of
the negroes our armies would not have sue
ceeded ! The negro has fought and conquer
ed for us. and deserves his reward. He has
a right to sit on juries, to hold office, and to
vote as a Jreeman at the ballot box."
All this plainly says, stand back white sol
dier* ! you are entitled to no honor for your
services in the battle field ; it was the nigger
not you, that conquered the rebellion ; ''the
palm of patriotism" belongs to the nigger
not to you. Such is black Repoblicanism,
now tbo war is over.

President Johnson's Inherited Cabluet.
The following from the N. Y. Wo rid, 60
fully expresses our views, t>pon the relative
position of the President and the Democratic
party, we are induced to copy it entire. We
ask for it a careful perusal:
The country has practiced toward Mr.
Johnson a more generous forbearance than
has been accorded to any other President
since WASHINGTON. This is less a tribute tc
the man, than a patriotic impulse set in ac
tion by the appalling circumstances of his
accession. Under that sudden shock the
country, for the first time, was alarmed for
the existence of the government. The in
stant unanimity with which all parties stood
by the new President was a protest against
assassination, against anarchy, against at
tempts to change the personnel of the gov
ernment or tho politics of the country ex
cept by the republican methods of Iree dis
cussion and regular elections. Nothing
more creditable has ever occurred in our Ins
ory. But tho danger which struck us all
with sudden dismay is past ; and henceior
ward President Johnson, like every ruler of
i free people, must encounter the criticism
by wh'ch responsibility is enforced upon
public officer*.
There has been, thus far, a disposition to
discriminate between President Johnson and
his official advisers. These advisers were
not id his appointment, and it was presumed
that their stay in the cabinet was a tempora
ry convenience. If he had intended to keep
them, it was assumed he would control
them ; and it was impossible to believe that
the outrageous acts of Secretary Stanton
were approved by any honest statesman
wrn to defend the Constitution. It was
easy to see how, in closing a great war and
settling an enorn; >us mass of unfinished
business, the services of an officer tamiliar
with its details might be valuable, especially
as the President had had no personal connec
tion with the administration of the war.—
With the great mass of new business emer
ging, be could not afford to master the un
wisely details of a system that had served its
day and was falling into disuse. Shockingly
as Stanton had violated the Constitution, it
was not difficult to discover plausible teasons
for his temporary retention, but Mr. John
son is in his fourth month ; and, or ought
that appears, the cabinet is as firmly eated
under him as under his predecessor that ap
pointed it. An indulgent country cannot
much longer consent to d'stinguish between
the acts of the administration and the acts
of its responsible chief. If the most conspic
uous and offensive heads of departments are
to go with Mr. Johnson through his term, or
through any large and considerable part of
it the country is justified in concluding that
he keeps them because he approves of their
conduct ; that their acts are his acts; and
that he ought to be held responsible for their
usurpations.
The cuntry will come reluctantly to this
V..n .t, C-l
shaken, it will, for a long while, hope against
hope. But certain it is. that this people,
cradled in liberty, will stand by no man who
abandons the principles of the Constitution
The subord.nation of the military to the civ
i! power, government by law instead of gov
ernment by arbitrary will, the habeas corpus
trial by jury, free speech, a free press and
free elections, will be resolutely claimed :
and no inan or party can stand who are faith
less to these guarantees. Great allowance
wns made, during the war, for the difficul
ties of the situation ; but the plea of an over
ruling public necessity will no longer avail.
The people now demand that officers sworn
to support the Constitution shall keep their
oaths. They will give thei r confidenae to no
public officer who is deliberately recreant to
republican principles of government.
One one great subject President Johnson
satisfies the just expectations of the country.
If he stands by his recognition ef state rights
in the reolganization of the state govern
mints, tho people will support him till thrt
battle is won, But the other great question
of the supremacy of the law is too urgent to
be much longer adjourned ; and, considering
how the law has been trampled under foot
defied, and spit upon, even 6ice Mr. John
son's accession, we can see no other suitable
atonement than a removal of the offending
members of the cabinet, and filling their
places with honest, law-abiding citizens.
car The following is one of the resolu
tions of the platform adopted hy the Conven
lion which nominated Lincoln at Chicago in
1860. It is well to take a look at it occas
ionally, in order to see where we have drift
ed :
Fourth. That tho maintenance inviolate of
the rights of the States, and especially the
right of eich State to order and control iis
own domestic institutions according to its
own judgment exclusively, is essential to
that balance of power on which the perfection
and enduranc of our political faith depends ;
and we denounce the lawless invasion by
armed force of any State or Territory, no
matter under what pretext, as among the
gravest of crimes.
RELEASED.— It gives us pleasure to state
thst the Hon. John Letcher, of Virginia,
la'.o Governor of the "Old Dominion," in her
palmy days, and for many years a represen
tative in the Congress of the United Slates
has been released by order of the President
from the Old Capitol, where he has buen con
fined foe some time past.
THE RADICAL REVOLUTION Wendell
Phillips, demaids that the Clerk of the
House of Representatives, whose duty it is to
call the roll of States and receive the creden
tials of members at the opening of Congress,
shall refuse to call the Southern States, and
admit only those members who appear from
States that have not been in rebellion ; and
he calls upon the radicals of the North to or
ganize and brirg such an influence upon the
Clerk as shall force bim to take this course.
This scheme is revolutionary.

Cure for Diarrhoea.—The followiog prescrip
tion is said to be unfailing in coses of diarrhoea :
''Laudnum, two ounces, Hoffman's anodyne, two
ounces, essence of peppermint, two ounces ; tincture
of cayenne pepper, two drachms ; tincture of ginger
two ounces. Mix all together- Dose-a tea-spoon
ful in a little watbr, or a half tea-spoonlul repeated
in an hour afterwards in a table-spoonful of brandy.
This preparation will check diarrhoea in ten miuutes
and abate other prenionita y symptoms of cholera
immediately. In cases of cholera it has been used
with great success to restore reaction by outward
application.
