DI .WKIIATIO tKIXK. . f Sixteen years ago the Democratic party was displaced, and the majority of Its members avenged their fall by civil war. That party now renews its persistent de mand to be again intrusted with the na tional government, and one -of their strangest argument for such a step is, I hat Republicans did not. suppress their rebel lion as chei ply as they might huv done, that they have not managed the public debt, taxation, and other matters.growlng out ot their treasn,as well as they might have done, therefore they ask to take the settlement of the consequences of their .crimes and blunders Into their hands. Ve cannot, wo dre not trust them yet. The wall between the Republican and Demo cratic parties, is like between Union and rebel soidiers, as high as Heaven and deep as Hell, and cannot so soon be broken down. The I'emoerats say we ought to have whippet! I hem audput down tlie re bellion at one half the expense we did, aud they are indignant at our want of econo my and kill iji performing the operation. The ex-Cnnfedemte Uousoof Representa tives, which Ins ju;t adjourned, has shown the people what Democrats would do should they get into power. Their hatred tor tho government is plainly shown by their per-lstent efforts to cripple the pub lic service and have so far succeeded, that If not remedied by deficiency bills next wintei, in many respects have destroyed It. llow can Democrats talk about re form, have they no, sacred memories of the past ? After they reform themselves, it will lie time enough for them to talk rabout reforming this government which they so recently sought to destroy. Sup pose we had a Democratic President and both Houses of Congress were Democratic, wliat would he tlx- result ? The ex-rehel tn the House of Representatives have inti mated what, they would do should they succeed in obtaining the power. Tliere wa pending in the House 140 so '''3"!t', .litns ftinniifiHiHr to nhnnr ' $'1 000,000. evrv one of which is for Injuries caused by our army in rebel 6tate dnrbg tlnwar. These acts show conclusively that, ' sh Hild Democrats get Into power, our , national indebtedness wnuld be more than doubled, our country would soon become bankrupt, our foreign credit ruiwd and as a nation de- gra led and scorned. rteeing all these things as we do, would it be safe, within iito it eleven years after the war. ro hand over the ccntrol of this government to ihe very, men who once un dertook to ilestr iv It. Now 1 -t us 10; Oily interest nur-e'ves in elicrhig our President, but let us redeem our state from the disgrace heaved upon her by Repre jentative Lane in Congress, who, true to the teachings of his lather, wilfully mis represented us in every paitlcu'lar.

When a man goes iihout charging that thi rest of the world Is destitute of a par ticular virtue, and that all there Is of that article resides hi hlmselt, he ought at least to afford Miiio proof ol his very sweeping allegations. Mere declamation Is hardly a convincing argument, if the hearers are men of sense ami sound judgment. Now, here is the Democratic imrty howling Itself into a bronchial affection about reform and economy; but how does it prove to m that It either does or intends to practice economy? One branch ol Con gress Is IVmocratic and it stands as the only authorized mouth-piece aud represen tative ol tho Democratic party. The House has provided for tho. reduction in tlie expenditures of tt,e current llsoal year from Jnlyl, 1S7G, to June 30. 1m77 about $25,000,000, as compared whir last year; but hotcf Well, they cut off a lot of foreign consulates, thus crippling the service and doing an injury to our own commerce and cutting oil a source ot actual revenue to tho treasury. They have cut off some millions from the Sun dry Civil Service, by withholding tM year appropriations which everybody knows must be made next year; crvatiug defici encies that must he hereiit'er supplied, by destroying or greatly Impairing several important and valuable services, and by actual repudiation of several jiiH obliga tions. They have cut off some millions I from tlie Legislative. Judicial and Execu , live services, by re hieing clerical forces In J the Department., which are now In-uHlci-; ent to keep the current work up; by reduc ing various wi la lies to a point below a fair I compensation tor the services performed; , by actually suspending . several services j. which 11111-t be hereafter resumed with an , increase ot expense; and by crippling (as , is nosjtivelv s'aled bv heads of the Demur- i ments and IJureaus) nearly every branch ot the public service. The saving is and, it will lie seen next year of that kind which in the cud is waste. Slid, a reduc tion hi A is year's expenditures is made, and answers the purpose of the Democracy to howl about tor electioneering purposes, though it Is morally certain that nearly the whole amount thus alleged to be saved will have to be raised and paid out next year in addition to the proper burdens of that year. It U simply a shullllug off rf tlie burdens of the present year upon the liou!ders ol next year. The people, how. ever they may be tooled now by this sham economy, will fully understand It. mid ap preciate it, next year when they find themselves compelled to pay additional taxes to conipeiisatefor tlie "short com mons" of tlie present year. A NOTABLE L'OTAXCK 0' ECONOMY ! When the Ih-moeratlc House met list 1 winter it began an onslaught, as blind as and thus relieve the people of their burd ens of taxation. One of the first things done in this programme was to reduce the number as well as the salaries of our Min isters and Consuls abroad. Having Iramed and passed their bill upon the general piinciplc timt all reductions were a ftviug. they began to proclaim that they had Sived to many hniidn d thou Jmils of dol lars In the Diplomatic and Consular Ap propriation biil. The Senate was better informed as to the outgo and income ol the diplomatic service, and refn-ed to accede to the reductions. Finally, how ever, alter several conferences, and juf at the heels ol Ihe session, In ordej- to get Ihe bill through in any shape, the Senate yielded to the demand of the House lor the abolishment of twenty-two consulates. The House hid originally demanded the Ksdps of over lorty. The economy of this thing will appear when it is stated that our consular system -is an actual source ol revenue instead of an expense to the treasury. Fornerly.tl e couusuls received and retained tlieir fees as compensation, but for many years, they have been paid salaries and reqnired to re turn all their fees into the U. S. treasury. Since 160, these Ice's have ferjatly exceed ed in the agtegigo, tlw sum ol all the salaries pai l. In the last year of Buchan an's term, the cost of the consular system was Including a deficiency ot $M.071, without any return of fees ; and prior to that tune, the cost had always exceeded Ihe income.

And vet the Democratic llousc has foicda decrea- ol the number of consuls to the extent ol twenfy-two, thus not only cutting off a relative portion, of tho consular income, but embarrassing and crippling our com merce at all the ports left destitute and leaving ou merchantmen nud Railors without tho protection ol an . American agent. A bull In a clihla shop could hnru Iv liu so destructive an animal as this D'liiiK'ratU' majority in tho House when It undertakes to wrestle with public affairs. ALL llt'AKcitKS MA1M5 TO SU1TKK. The House has been at work all winter, spring, niul summer, just about as Iguo rautly In other appropriations as In the diplomatic nud consular bill. Tliere Is not a department or bureau 1 fllcer.whb has not expressed tho dillbei-ito opinion, in reply to r.fHcinl InipiirUs by conference committees, that the ill-advised reduction will grea'lvj embarrass the public service in all branches, and in some of them the effect will bo nothing short of public disaster, Tliere Is scarcely a branch of the service, in which the iiifeiilllcicut appropriations will not effectuate a loss of r. venussora serious hindrance to Import ant public service. It is very'uiuch as If a farmer should, in a spasm of economy, re solve to sow only live acres ol grain in stead of fifty, because he wanted to savo the expense ol the seed for the other forty-five acres ; or as If he Should determine to neither build 0r .repair hW fence tills year, and thus let In predatory cattle to destroy Ris crops, and should call that a saving ; or .should conclude to make a great saving by employing; only two men to carry 011 the operations which had here tofore required the services of ten.

What pleases me more is that the merits of our glori ous, wise, warm-blooded Hayes should be so warmly supported on tho ex treme Pacific coast. An Oh loan is proud to see tlie man Miey love so well at tho nnu4t-head of papers, to ward the setting sun. The boys in blue from this city were among thoso w 10, at tho celebrated battle of South Mountain when charging, the enemy, were checked by an almost impene trable moruss. To hesitate was do- feat. A cleur, grey-eyed man in the flush of vigorous manhood, flushed along the lilies and siiouled, "forward march!" Amid the lutil of shot n ml shell, aud the roar of musketry the gallant boys pressed forward, mid vic tory was theirs. The young unl pil lant soldier who led timt charge was Rutherford 15. Hayes About the1 same time Tilden wan framing a dec laration at Chicago, saying Hie "war Was a failure." Last summer during the Allen cam paign, Gen. Hayes came to our city to visit and swmk to the populace.. I went with him to lh top of the most beautiful nioiiuifT u relic of tlie pre-hi-toric race, which stands within 100 yards of (.'ol. llovey's old home, while quietly sitting in the. simile of the oaks which spread their folia go over the lonj; flight of srono tstcps, which run down the side nf the nnuitid, the Gen eral remarked that in Into he was ad mitteii to practice law in the town of Marietta, and that with Ills parch ment in bis hand, penniless he started in the world. To nilit, lion. John Sherman, who w is raised in tli is county, madtj the first speech of the campaign He; told me that )t tinvti bun pride to return to old Marietta, the mother of those patriotic men who funned tho ordi iuunce of 17M7 which f ive civil law and freedom to the northwest territo ry. Ohio was tiie battle ground with Indian forces in. 1700, t Is it in 1770 politically. The oggresnive policy of the rebel Democracy under the thin guise of reform, will meet Its rebuke in November, when tlie silent vote declares that tlie prineiplcsenunciuted in J7M7 which proclaimed civil law to every citien still meet a response from patriotic breasts. You need have no fear us to tlie purity, power and executive ability of tlie champion ot Republican hosts. Those who know the man wish they were thousand tougued and that each word were an electric flash to all parts of the world. Pardon a stranger for Intruding up on your notice. Printers can forbear with one of their old fellows J. ti. Hl'KAOUK. Maim etta, O., Aug. 12th, 1870. Cheering words for tlie Repbiicans come to us every day. Quite a num ber who voted with tlie Democracy last spring hayo announced their in tention to vi t ! thin fall for Hayes and Wheeler and Dick Williams. Repub licans, let us work with a will, and we will sweep tlie State this fall by a large '-'majority. The rebel symptoms manifested by the last Congress, and the double dealing and dodging resort ed to by the St. Louis Convention and their candidates on tlie financial ques tion has di-gmitcd many, wllo for a few years have been voting with that par ty. The Roys in Blue ( realizing the manner in which their comrades arc hurled from olllce to make place for those who fought against tlie flag, will unite almost to u inn 11 in favor of the soldier candidate for President. We are gaining votes every day. Prof. T. II. Crawford hai accepted a jositioii an principal ot ons or the pi Wic schools in Portland. MISCELLANEOUS. WHAT BEA.TJTIFTTL SKIN!
