The most flagrant disgraceful ex

not the grace to affect disguise or con-
, cealraent. ; Hi9. .radical : dependents
- avow and defend this turpitude, and

from every section of the country.
There Is no security for life or prop-J
t-rty on the frontier. In one place the
Indians are murdering the settlers ; at
another, bands of armed Mexicans in
vade the territory of the United States,
drive away the cattle of the inhab-
-, itants, and perpetrate outrages of ev
ery description. The army furnishes
no adequate protection in either of
those cases. Regiments of troops
are ordered to the South on pretence
of suppressing social disorders. Ev
ery carpet-bagger and scalawag, by
fabricating a tale of persecution or
. oppression, can have soldiers sent into
that region; but hundreds of men5
women and children may be murdered
by the Indians, and no relief furnished
from Washington. . The Radicals have
always run the machinery of the gov
ernment in party grooves,' and We
sliall never have a wholesome or hon
est administration until we elect a
Democratic President And the peo
. pie will never be permanently pro
tected against the prostitution of their
public servants to personal aggrand
izement until the Constitution be so
amended as to preclude the possibility
of the re-election of a President. The
evils that have fallen upon our country
in these latter days call loudly for
such a remedy, and we believe the
people trill soon apply it; - - . ' :

THAT MAERIAGE.
Some days since we gave a tele
graphic dispatch touching a contem
plated matrimonial alliance between
the House of Victoria, Queen of
Great Britian, and Ulysses Simpson
Grant, the Executive and would-be
Emperor of these United States. Tho
par ties to be united were Fred. Grant,
the heir apparent, and Beatrice,
youngest daughter of Queen Victoria.
We find in the World a notice of this
affair giving some particulars which
will prove of interest:
Letters received here from Eng
land put the extaotdinary question
seriously whether a marriage between
the son of President Grant and the
Princess Beatrice of England might
not be bo arranged as to secure the
entente cordiale between the two coun
tries. The Queen has originated the
proposition, just as she did that for
the marriage of her daughter Louise
to the Marquis o' Lome. Tho young
Princess is only fourteen years of age,
and the Queen's idea is, that upon
the re-election of President Grant.
and the beginning of his second term
in 1873, tho nuptials be solemnized.
Young Mr. Grant would then bo
adopted as a British subject, and
immediately appointed Viceroy of tho
t,...:..: i
Dominion of Canada.
It is her Majesty's belief
that in ;
this way the feelings of the three!
countries 01 America, iniiaua ana
Great Britain could be harmonized as
closely as their interests.
The letters which communicate this
surprising proposition are written in
perfect good faith, and by persons of
the highest position in Great Brit;an.
One of them asserts that the idea re
ally came from Mr. Seward, by whom
it was suggested to the Earl of Mayo,
in India, and by the Earl then taken
up and communicated to the Queen,
through one of his lordship 's friends,
Lady Waterpark, a lady in waiting
upon her Majesty.
It is also stated that the matter was
intrusted to the London correspond
ent of a leading Radical journal of
New York, woo Mt London sud
denly . for , , New 'York about a
month ago, commissioned to sound
the .President upon the subject.
This correspendent - assured .the
Queen'e Ministers tha. the reelection
of President Grant was absolutely
certain, and thus contributed mainly
to give them confidence in the scheme.
The agitation now going on in favor
of Mr. Greeley may disturb his plans.
But it may be considered certain that
he has opened negotiations on the
subject with the Dent family and
with Mrs. Grant.

IOWA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The following are the series of
resolutions adopted by, the Iowa
Democratic State Convention, at Des
Moines, last month. They were re
ported by that old Democratic, war
horse Hon. A. C. Dodge, and we re
gard them as having a truer ring than
any Platform yet adopted since the
Vallandigham'Departure :
llcmlto d, That we recognize our
binding obligation to the Constitu
tion of the United States as it now
exists, without reference to the means
by which the same became the su
preme law of the land.
llvwtlwd, That we will faithfully
SUDnort the Constitution of the Uni
ted States as it now exists, and ;'tbat
we demand for it a quick construction
so as to protect equally the rights' of
States and individuals. , . : ;
llcwlced. That ' we' 'cherish ' the
American system of State and local
governments, and that we will forev
er defend the same against central
ized federal power r j
llmolced, That universal suffrage
having been, established should now
be coupled . with its twin measure,
universal amnesty. . .
lienolvcd, That we denounce all ri
otous coiuoinations ana conspiracies
against law, and demand the same to
be suppressed by the proper State
authorities, and that the - Federal
power ought not to intervene except
when such intervention is demanded
by the State authorities. .
ltctiolvcd, That the proposed annex
ation of the-Dominican Republic
meets with our earnest opposition,
partly ou account of the character of
its mongrel population ana oi . tueir
unfitness to become American citi
zens but more especially on account
of the corrupt motives in which that
measure had its inception, and of the
.1 .
repreuensiuie means uy wiiicn it was
sought to be conuuntated.
jiffAvcd, luat wbile we nave a
torilTou imports, it must be regulated
with an eye singly to revenue and not
with a view to what is termed protec
tion, which is only another name for
the legalized plundering of one in
dustry to bestow favois upon another;
end that the recent election to the
United Stutes Senate, by the Legisla
ture of Ioa, of a man wholly and
openly committed to a protective tar
iff, d uionstrates that the party are in
antagonism to the great agricultural
iutcrcsts of the State.
Itetvtlved, That the profligate cor
ruption and wanton extravagance
which pervade every department of
the federal government, the sacrifice
of the interests of the laborer to ag
grandize a haudful of aristocrats, the
wicked depriva.Mon of the people of
their rightful hei.'tage in the public
lands, which have been made a gift
to railroad and other nionor olists,
the payment of more than f 20,000,
000 premiums during the adminis
tration of President Grant on gov
ernment bonds, payable at par, the
maintenance at an annual cost to the
people of nearly $30,000,000 of an
unconstitutional, oppressive and ex
tortionate system of banking, whete
by money is made scarce and interest
high, are abuses which call for wise
and thorough remedies.
lb tuAred, That we are in favor of
strict economy, of a large reduction
in the expenditures of the Federal
and State Governments, of civil ser
vice reform, of the collection of in
ternal revenue by State authorities
and the return to honest labor the
myriads of tax gatherers who afflict
our land and eat up its substance,
and of the speedy trial, conviction
and punishment of the thieves who
have stolen the taxes paid by the
people I
ltttvAced, That we reject the idea
of repudiation of the national debt,
and believe it to be the duty of the
Government to pay according to law
and in lawful - money, all its lia
bilities. llemlved. That it is a flagrant out
rage on the rights of the free labor
ers and mechanics of Iowa, that the
labor of penitentiary convicts should
be brought into conflict with theirs,
and that it is the duty of the next
legislature to enact such laws as will
certainly and effectually protect them
from such' unjust and ruinous com
petition. -
Resolved, That section 2, article 8,
of the Constitution of Iowa, which
declares that " the property of all
corporations for pecuniary profit shall
be subject to taxation the same as
that of individuals," should I e rigidly
and strictlj enforced, and that by
virtue thereof we demand that rtil
roads and railroad property shall be
taxed just as the property of the me
chanic and farmer are taxed, and we
affirm the right of the people by leg
islative enactmeut to regulate and
control all corporations doing busi
ness within the borders of the State.
llcmlvedf That with the watchword
of reform, we confidently go to the
country ; that we believe the interests
of the great body of the people are
the same ; that without regard to past
political associations' they are the
friends of free government, that they
are equally honest, brave' and patri
otic, and we appeal to them as to our
brothers and countrymen, to aid us
to obtain relief ' from the grievous
abuses which wrong-' and .oppress
every one except the wrong-doers
and oppressors themselves. : j

was recently obliged to dismiss her
nurse on account of an excess of fire
men and private ; soldiers too,-often

A DUl'IILK EXECUTION. '
K . v-;:;- - i
Vincent Bnyonntf and Pedro Abrlcf
were hanged lirNeW Orleans for mur
derlntf and robbing a sailor about; a
vear agar. The scnllbld was a platform
about six feet long end four wide, sus
pended from a beam which protrudeJ
from an upper window 6f the priori
and overlooking the prison yard. From
two other beams depended well greased
ropes with the fatal nKses at the ends.
Hoou after 11 o'clock the culprits de
scended the stairs leading to .-tho drop,
both calmly smoking dixartfttes". They
1 1 ltd been litx-rivlly supplied with stimu
lants, but neither vas drunkr Both
were, dressed In white, drawers and
shirts, without coats or vests, and wore
the white caps drawn over their heads

He was quickly restrained ana Abriel
was sent ahead, JJayonne exclaiming,
'He's more afraid than I am.". They
took the seat provided for them, and
(razed out tipon 'picMjpowd with un
daunted bravado, luring the reading
of the death sentence . their features
bore signs of Impatience.

rrotestlnjf their -lnnjence, but forgiv

that all they had oflended would for

from bead to foot In black glazed mus
lin, adjusted the ropes. Both men
pressed the cross and shook hands with
their priests, but esch protested strujr
glwd when the white cap was drawn
overihein, exclaiming In Spanish, "I
am not afraid to show my face." The
priests with difficulty paclled them
and the caps were adjusted. Then as
tho executioner retired to the room be
hind to cut tin-rope, Hayonne broke
forth In a torrent of Spanish curses,
and died with an oath upon his Hp.
Both necks were dislocated by the fall,
and each died with scarcely a percepti

Amcsixo Incident. At the magic
entertainment, pn Saturday .night, an
incident occurred that was not , ''down
on the bills." Miss Cora was" in the
midst of the a-rial -"suspension feat,"
and had placed her subject in ; the
"m!smeric state," when she lecame
alarmed with; the Idea that a lighted
lamp had set fire to some drapery be
hind the wings. , Under this impres
sion she rushed wildly off the stage,
and in doing so : she passed jrnrpedi
ately under a hook used for the pur
pose of suspending the "magic drum
this hook caught into the wild wealth
of curls that crowned Miss Cora's
head, and there the whole of her beau
tiful head-dfess bung in full .gaze of
the audience. . J o say .that th'.s "feat
was greeted with bursts) of .laughter
scarcely expresses the idea; and to
add to the merriment, the young lady
who wa supposed to" be in the "mes
meric state was olserved to jdiri in
the general roar. This "hairy suspen
sion' called down even more applanse
than the "a-rial feat." Walla Walla

The Cuois. The crops in Iowa,
Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois are
this year the best known for many
years, and great rejoicing is caused
thereby "out West." In Minnesota
the reports are not so favorable, the
wheat being somewhat injured by rust,
and the prospects are good for only
half a crop On the Pacific Coast,
IKirtieulariy in i California, there will
e abetter crop than was expected
early in the season. It is jiottis cood
as could be wished, but under all the
circumstance better tlan could have
been expected. California will have
enough for her own uses, and consid
erable to spare. In Oregon the ce
real crop will be better than ever
known, and we will have a larger
number of bushels for export than all
of the other Pacific ' States' together.
Our rpwn, Oregon is eminently the
wheat country of the world.

A darkey 'was boasting to a Sbcer
of the cheapness of ten pounds of su
gar he bad liought at a rival shop.
"Let me weigh the package," said
the grocer. The darkey assented,
and it was two pounds short. , The
"colored gentleman" looked perplex
ed for a moment, and then said:
"Guess he did'nt cheat dischile much,
for while he. was fettih.r the sugar 1
stole two pair of shoes." .
"Why do you oppose the giving the
ballot to Voniun?" asked a lady, the
other evening, of a con Armed bachelor.
"Excuse me, madam," replied he, "but
I have not sufficient confidence In their
capacity to 'conduct government ; af
fairs." "What evidence of their men
tal inferiority to mankind can you ad
vance?" queried the lady. "A simple
fact is enough to satisfy my mind," re
torted the bachelor, "and that is the

A New England spinster, who weot
out, to Nevada' about a year ago,
writes home that , she has already a
husband and a pair of : twins, and

A woman travelling on the cars saw
a man in front of her put his head out
of the window, and asked him if he
wouldn't keep his head in, as she had
a new silk dress on, and she didn't
