The Charlotte Democrat from Charlotte, North Carolina • Page 2

Platform Of the National Democratic Parly, Adopted at St. Louis Jam 2SM, 1R7C. Wc, the delegates of the Democratic party of the United States, in National Convention assembled, do hereby declare the administration of the Federal Government to be in urgent need of immediate re- imin Io llCiebv CniOlll 111)011 the nonn- noes ot this Convention, and of the Democratic party in each State, a jealous ellbrt and co-operation to this end, and do hereby appeal to our fellow-citizens of every former poiitical connection to undertake with us this lirst and most pressing patriotic duty for the Democracy of the whole country. We do here reaffirm our faith in the permanency of the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitution of the United States, with its amendments universally accepted as a final settlement of the controversies that engendered civil war; and do here record our steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of llepublican self-gov in the absolute acquiescence in the will of the majority, the vital principle of the republic; in the supremacy of the civil over the military authority; the total separation of church and State, for the sake alike of civil and religious freedom in the equality of all citizens before just laws of their own enactment; in the liberty of individual conduct, unvexed by sumptuary laws; the faithful education of the rising generation, that they may preserve, enjoy and transmit these best conditions of human happiness, and hope we behold the noblest products of a hundred years of changeful history But while upholding the bond of our union and great charter of these, our rights, it behooves a free people to practice also that eternal vigilance which is the price of liberty. Itefonn is necessary to rebuild and establish in the hearts of the whole people of this Union, eleven years ago happily rescued from the danger of a secession of States, but now to be saved from a corrupt centralism, which, after inllicting upon ten States the rapacity of carpet-bag tyrannies, has honeycombed the offices, of the Federal government itself with incapacity, waste and fraud, infected States and municipalities with the contagion of misrule, and locked fast the prosperity of an industrious people in the paralysis of hard times.

lieform is necessary to establish a sound currency, restore the public credit and maintain the national honor. We denounce the failure for all these eleven years to make good the promise of the legal tender notes, which are a changing standard of value in the hands of the people, and the non-payment ol which is a disregard of the plighted faith of the nation. We denounce the improvidence which, in eleven years of peace, lias taken horn the people in rederal taxes thirteen times the whole amount of the le gal tender notes and squandered four times this sum in useless expense, without accumulating any reserve for their redemption, We 'denounce the financial imbecility and immorality ot the party which, during eleven years of peace, has made no advance toward resumption that instead has obstructed resumption by wasting our re sources and exhausting all our surplus in come; and while annually professing to tend a speedy return to specie payment, has annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto. As such a hindrance we denounce the resumption clause of the act of 1S75, and we here demand its repeal. We demand a judicious system of preparation by public economies, by official retrenchments, and by wise finance, shall enable the nation to assure the whole world of its perfect ability and its perfect readiness to meet any of its promises at the call of the creditor entitled to payment.

We believe such a system, well devised, and, above all, entrusted to competent hands for execution, and creating at no time an artificial scarcity of currency, and at no time alarming the public mind into a withdrawal of that vaster machinery of credit by which ninety-five per cent of all business transactions are performed; a system open, public and inspiring general confidence, would from the day of its adoption, bring healing on its wings to all our harassed industry, and set in motion the wheels of commerce, manufactures and the mechanical arts restore employment to labor, and renew in all its national sources the prosperity of the people. lieform is neccsary in the sum and mode of Federal taxation, to the end that capital may be set free from distrust and labor lightly burdened. We denounce the present tariff, levied upon nearly 4,000 articles, as a master piece of injustice, inequality and false pretence. It yields a dwindling, not a yearly-rising revenue it has impoverished many industries to subsidize a few; it prohibits imports that might purchase the products of American labor, and it has degraded American commerce from the first to an inferior rank upon the high seas; it has cut down the sales of American manufacturers at home and abroad, and depleted the returns of American agriculture or industry followed by half our people it costs the people live times more than it produces to the treasury, obstructs the processes of production and wastes the fruit of labor; it promotes fraud and fosters smuggling, enriches dishonest officials and bankrupts honest merchants. Wc demand that all custom-house taxation shall be only for revenue.

lieform is necessary in the scale of public expense, Federal, State and municipal. Our Federal taxation has swollen from sixty millions in gold, in 1PG0 to four hundred "and fifty millions currency in 1870; our aggregate taxation from one hundred and fifty-four millions gold in 1SG0, to seven hundred and thirty millions currency in 1870 or, in one decade, from less than five dollars per head to more than eighteen dollars per head. Since the establishment of peace the people have paid to their tax gatherers more than thrice the sum of the national debt, and more than twice that sum for the Federal (government alone. We demand a vigorous frugality in every department, and from every officer of the government. Reform is necessary to put a stop to the proffligate waste of public lands, and their diversion from actual settlers by the party in power, which has squandered two hundred millions of acres upon railroads alone, and out of more than thrice that aggregate has disposed of less than a sixth directly to tillers of the soil.

Keiorm is necessary to correct the omis sions of a llepublican Congress and the er rors of our treaties and our diplomacy, which have stripped our fellow-citizens ol foreign birth and kindred race, recrossin the Atlantic, of the shield of American citizenship, and have exposed our brethren ot the l'acihc coast to tne incursions ot a race not sprung from the same great parent stock, and, in lact, now by law denied citi- zenship through naturalization, as being neither accustomed to the traditions of a progressive civilization, nor exercised in liberty under equal laws. We denounce the policy which thus discards the liberty loving German and tolerates the revival of the coolie trade in Mongolian women, im ported for immoral purposes, and Mongolian men, lured to periorm servue labor con tracts, and demand such modifications of the treaty with the Chinese Empire, or such legislation by Congress, within a constitu- tional limitation, as shall prevent the fur ther importation or immigration of the 4. Mongolian race. lieform is necessary, and can never be effected but by making it the controlling issue of the election, lifting it above the two false issues with which the officeholding class and the party in power seek to smother it the false issue with which they would seek to enkindle sectarian strife in respect to the public schools, of which the establishment ana support belong exclu sively to the several States, and which the Democratic party has cherished from their foundation and resolved to maintain with out partiality or preference for any class, sect or creed, and without contributing from the treasury to any and the false issue by which they seek to light anevy the dying embers ot sectional hate between kindred peoples, once unnaturally estranged but now reunited in one indivisible Republic and a common destiny. Reform is necessary in the civil service.

Experience proves that the efficient, eco nomical conduct of the governmental bust ncss is not possible if its civil service be subject to change at every election, be a prize fought for at the ballot-box, be a brief reward ot party zeal instead of posts of honor assigned tor proved competency, and held tor fidelity in the public employ; that the dispensing of patronage should neither be a tax upon the time of all our public men nor the instrument of their ambition. Here again professions falsified in the performance attest that the party in power can work out no practical or salutary reform. Reform is necessary even more in the higher grades of public service. President Vice-Rresident, Judges, Senators, Representatives, Cabinet officers these and all others in authority, are the people's servants; their offices are not a private perquisite, they are a public trust. When the annals of this Republic show the disgrace and censure of a Vice-President; a late Speaker of the House of Representatives marketing his rulings as a presiding officer; three Senators profiting secretly by their votes as law-makers; five chairmen of leading committees of the late House of Representatives exposed in jobbery a late Secretary of the Treasury forcing balance in public accounts a late Attorney-General misappropriating public funds a Secretary of the Navy enriched or enriching friends by percentages levied off the profits of contractors with his department; an ambassador to England concerned in a dishonorable speculation; the President's private secretary barely escaping conviction upon trial for guilty complicity in frauds upon the revenue; a Secretary of War impeached for high crimes and confessed misdemeanors, the demonstration is completed that the first step in reform must be the people's choice of honest men from another party, lest the disease of one political organization infest the body politic, and thereby, making no change of men or party, we can get no change of measures and no reform.

All these abuses, wrongs and crimes, the product of sixteen years ascendancy of the llepublican party create a necessity for reform confessed by Republicans themselves, but their reformers are voted down in the Convention and displaced from the Cabinet. The party's mass of honest votes is powerless to resist the 80,000 office-holders, its leaders and guides. Reform can only be had by a peaceful civic revolution. We demand a change of system, a change of administration, a change of parties, that we may have a change of members and of men. The Nomination How Mr.

Tilden Received the fiews. A dispatch from Albany says: "Gov. Tilden received but few dispatches from St. Louis, and sent none there. In the evening, when the Associated Press bulletin dispatch, announcing simply Tilden nominated on the second ballot, was received, it was sent up to the Executive Mansion.

There were pre sent with the Governor Comptroller Robinson, State Engineer Van Buren and four or five other friends. Mr Newell took the dis patch and read it aloud to the Governor. "Is that so?" he inquired in the calmest tones, with not even a smile on his countenance. Subsequently another dispatch was read to the Governor, who then exhibited 6igns of interest, and inquired if any one knew what the vote was, and what the platform contained. No one present could answer either question.

The Governor then drew four or five of those present about him, and in a tone scarcely above a whisper said "I can tell you what has done this. The nomination was not made by the leaders of the party. It was the people who made it. They want reform. They have wanted it for a long time, and in looking about they have become convinced that it is to be found here (pointing to himself).

They want it; that is what they are after. They are sick of the corruptions and maladministration of their affairs. They want a change, and one for the better a thorough reformation. You will find there will be a larger German vote polled next fall than ever, and it will be largely cast for the democratic ticket. I know that." IdgT Dr.

Eugene Grissom, Principal of the N. C. Lunatic Asylum, was made chair man of the Committee on Medical Jurispru-I deuces-Chemistry and 1 sychology at tfie American National Medical Association, recently in session at Philadelphia. cSTHe harXolte cmoerai, I Terrible Battle with Indians. Gen.

Custer 15 Officers and every man of Fire Companies Slain. The following is a report of a very disastrous fight with Indians in Montana Territory "Gen. Custer found the Indian camp ot twenty-five lodges on Little Horn, and immediately attacked it with five companies, charging into the thickest of the camp. Nothing is known of the operations of this detachment after the charge, as they were only traced by their dead. Maj.

Reno attacked the lower parts of the camp, with the seven remaining companies. Custer, his two brothers, a nephew and a brother-in-law, with about three hundred men were killed only thirty-one wounded. Two hundred and seven men' were buried in one place. The Indians surrounded seven companies and held them in the hills one day away from water. Gen.

Gibbon's command then came in sight. The Indians broke camp ami left in the night. A regiment of the 7th cavalry, Gibbon's command, is returning to the mouth of Little Horn, where there is a steamboat. The Indians'got the arms of the killed soldiers. Seventeen commissioned officers were killed.

The whole Custer family died at the head of the column. Other accounts say the battle was fought or. the 25th, 30 or 40 miles belovC Little. Horn. Custer attacked the village of 2,500 to 4,000 warriors on one side and Col.

Rino on the other. Gen. Custer's fifteen officers and every man of the five companies were killed. Rino retreated under protection of the reserves. The whole number killed was 315.

Gen. Gibbon joined Rino. The dead are much mutilated. Lieut. Crittenden, a son of Gen.

Crittenden, was killed. Chicago, July 0. A dispatch confirming the report of Gen. Custer's fight on Little Horn river, has been received at Gen. Sheri dan's headquarters.

LirtJi er Part iculars. Washington, July 7. Gen. Custer left Rosebank on the 22d with 12 companies of infantry and the 7th cavalry. On the 24th a fresh trail was reported.

On the morning of the 25th an Indian villa-sre three miles long and half a mile wide was reported 15 miles off. Gen. Custer pushed for it. They had made 78 miles in 24 hours preceding the battle. When near the village, the Indians appeared moving as if retreating.

Reno, with seven companies, was ordered to attack the right, and Gen. Custer, with five companies, vigorously attacked the left of the camp. Reno felt them with three companies, and was immediately surrounded, and after hours ot fighting, losing Lieutenants Hodgson and Mcintosh and twelve men and several Indian scouts killed and many wounded, cut his way out and gained a bluff 300 feet high, where he entrenched, and where he was soon joined by Col. Renton with 4 companies. Here the Indians made repeated assaults but wro repulsed with great slaughter.

The Incians finally gained higher ground than Reno nd with longer range guns than the cavalry, kept up a galling fire till night. 1 Indians renewed the attack at daylight. Maj. Reno had lost 40 odd killed before reaching the bluff, many in hand to hand corflicts, the Indians outnumbering them ten to one. The men were without water 3G hours.

They determined to reach water at all hazards, ami Col. Benton made a sally and routed the main body, guarding the main approach to the water. The water was gained with one killed and seven wounded. The fighting ceased for the night, during whjch Maj. Reno proposed to resist further attacks.

They had now been 48 hours fighting with no word from Gen. Custer. Twenty-four hours more of suspense and fighting ended, when the Indians abandoned their village in meat haste. Gen. Terry, with Gen.

Gibbon's command and his own infantny, had arrived, and as the comrades met the men wept on each others Inquiries were then made for Gen. Custer, but none could tell where he was. Soon an officer came rushing into camp and related that he had found Gen. Custer dead and stripped naked, and near him his two brothers, Col. Tom and Boston Custer, his brother-in-law Col.

Calhoun, and his nephew Col. Yates, Col. Keogh. Capt. Smith, Lieut.

Crittenden, Lieut. Sturgis, Col. Cooke, Lieut. Porter, Lieut. Harrington, Dr.

Lord, Maj. Kellogg, the N. Y. Tribune correspondent, and one hundred and ninety men and scouts. Gen.

Custer went into battle with Companies and ot the 7th cavalry, and the staff and non commissioned officers of his regiment, and a number of scouts, and only one scout remained to tell the tale all were killed. Gen. Custer was surrounded on every side by the Indians, and men and horses fell as they fought on the skirmish line or in line of battle. Custer was amonsr the last who fell, but when his cheering voice was no longer heard, the Indians made easy work of the remainder. The bodies of all save the newspaper correspondents were stripped and most of them were horribly mutilated.

Custer was shot through the body and through the head. The troops cared for the wounded and buried their dead and returned to their camp for sup-' plies and instructions from the General of the army. Col. Smith arrived at Bismarck last night with 35 of the wounded. The Indians lost heavily in the battle.

The Crow scout survived by hiding in a ravine. He believes the Indians lost more than the whites. The village numbered and it is thought there were 4,000 warriors. The Herald correspondent, Kellogg killed. was Vance for Civil Liberty.

The Habeas Corpus Order oj Gov. Vance. Depaktmext of N. i AlUVTAXT GkXEUAL's OFFICE, Raleigh, 26th May, 1SG3. General Order, No.

9. Militia officers are ordered not to arrest any man as a conscript or deserter who may have been discharged under a writ of habeas corpus tried befoie any Judge of the Supreme or Superior Courts of this State. They are further ordered to resist any such arrest upon the part of any person not authorized by the legal order or process of a Court or Judge having jurisdiction of such cases. By order of Governor Vance, DAN'L G. FOWLE, Adjutant General.

The Proposed Constitutional Amendments. They should be voted for by very white man in the State, and by -every man in favor ol an economical State Government: The first amendment proposes to add a single sentence to the 24th seciion of Article 1. That article provides that there shall be no infringement of the right of the people, "to keep and hear The amendment provides as follows: "Nothing herein contained shall justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons, or prevent the Legislature from enacting penal statutes against said practice." There can surely be no objection in the minds of "christian" men to this provision. We need not waste words in commending it as required alike by humanity and the soundest political wisdom. The text of the Constitution, as it now stands, might easily be held as a limitation upon the power of the Legislature, and the practice of carrying concealed weapons be justified under the right so solemnly guaranteed to keep and bear arms.

It is a precaution in the interest of peace, an emphatic protest against a dangerous and deadly-custom, and a promise of stringent laws for the protection of the well-disposed and orderly part of our population against the sudden outburst of passionate and ungoverned rage, which too often finds a victim because it has at hand the opportunity and the instrument for a bloody revenge. II. The proposed amendment of Sec. 2, Art. II, only chauges the time of meeting of the General Assembly from the "third Monday in November" to "the first Wednesday after the first Monday in January next after their election." This alteration is rendered absolutely necessary, since the time of hold- mg the elections in our State has been changed.

We no longer elect the members of the Legislature in August, as formerly, but it has been postponed until November. The change in the time of meeting of the Assembly, therefore, must be altered to conform to the new order of events. III. It is proposed to strike from the Constitution Sec. 4 of Art.

11. This provided for the Senate Districts in the first election under the Constitution, and was to continue in force only until the first session of the General Assembly, which should be had after the year 1871. It had become obsolete, and was superseded by a new arrangement of the districts. The amendment merely gets rid of a mass of useless matter, and is too unimportant to require consideration. IV.

It is proposed to strike out Sec. of Art. II. This provided for representation in the House of Representatives, and for the same reasons given above in reference to Sec. 4 of this article ought to disappear as so much useless lumber.

V. Section 27 of Art. II is proposed to be amended by merely leaving on he provision for the termination of the fl.ee of Senators members of the IIoi.si. of Representative chosen at the first el under the Constitution. The time dining which it was to operate, having long since passed, the amendment becomes merely nominal for the reasons given above.

VI. The same reason is given for the amendment proposed to Sec. 29 of Art. 11, which strikes off from the section the provision for the first election under the Constitution, leaving the other parts of the section untouched. VII.

It is proposed to amend Art. II by the addition of the following section, which is entirely new Section The members of the General Assembly, for the term for which they have been elected, shall receive as a compensation for their services the sum of four dollars per day for each day of their session, for a period not exceeding sixty days and should they remain longer in session they shall serve without compensation. They shall also he entitled to receive ten cents per mile, both while coming to the seat of government and returninc -home, the said distance to be computed by the nearest line or route ol public travel. The compensation of the presiding officers of the two Houses shall be six dollars per day and mileage. Should an extra session of the General Assembly be called, the members and presiding officers shall receive a like rate of compensation for a period net exceeding twenty days.

In this amendment it will be seen that the Conservative party, which is held responsible for the changes they advise the people to make in their organic law, has given a guaranty of their sincere and earnest purpose to retrench expenditures and reform abuses, which ought to secure the support and hearty co-operation of all good citizens to secure the support and hearty co-operation of all good citizens. In 1872, as we have shown, they changed the Constitution of 18G8, so as to provide for biennial instead of annual sessions of the Legislature, thus reducing the expenditures lor this object more than one-hall of what it had been under the radical government. Now they propose to limit the session of the Assembly to the very shortest time in which it is possible for them to complete their labors. They may sit for sixty days at the expense of the State, if the public "business requires so long a session. Beyond that period patriotism may.

keep them, but the Treasury is made sure against "depletion" from this quarter. Their compensation is fixed also, and we shall not again vex our righteous souls from day to day at the prospect of paying seven dollars per day to professors ot the "tonsorial art," or common "field hands," to do the work of our Lc-ms- lature ior lourornve months, spinning out the time because it was "money in the pocKei, anu more ot it than many ol them had ever seen in all their lives befoie. We have often thought how oddly many of the members of the Legislature "or 3 80S must have felt at the new and untried position in which they found themselves. Men whose ideas had never risen above the "strapping of a razor" or the "plowing of a furrow," unless the "sewing of a saddle" might be deemed a more exalted occupation, might now present their warrants on the Treasury and draw their pay as members of the Legislature, fitted by a natural instinct to make laws, though they might not be able to read them properly when printed in the statute book. This amendment also pro vides the amount of mileage and, what is 'MM.

more to the purpose, it is "to be computed by the nearest line or route of public travel." When this sh ill be adopted, we shall not again be called upon to pay a member for "going around his elbow.to get to his thumb," as we did once, "if ancient tales say true." It is also proposed to limit the duration of extra sessions, if such should be called, to a period not exceeding twenty days. It is readily seen, therefore, how much of actual economy and advantage to the public service such a change in our Constitution will promote. It will diminish the expenses of the General Assembly fully one-half, and the resulting benefit to the character of our legislation and the important interests committed to the law-making power, is absolutely incalculable. And we are free to say that this amendment, if adopted, is fully worth the entire cost of the Convention to the people of the State, and that a practical experiment on this line will be more satisfactory and more profitable than the whole work done by the Legislature of 1SGS, which cost the State nearly one million of dollars, beside the expenses of Kirk's war. There is neither "rhyme nor reason" in opposing it, and the Republican party in committing itself against it, have only justified our observation so frequently made, that it is prepared to ruin the State, to sacrifice all its interests, material and social, rather than submit without a desperate struggle to the loss of power.

Fayetteville Gazette. Sketch of Gov. Hendricks. Thomas A. Hendricks was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, in 1810, and is, therefore, fifty-seven years of age.

He removed to Indiana, and in 1851 was elected to Congress, where he remained until 1855, when he was appointed Commissioner of the Land Office. lie filled this position uutil 1859, when he was elected United States Senator for six years. In 186S he was the Democratic candidate for Governor, but as the passions and prejudices were then too strong for any Democrat to be chosen, Mr Hendricks was defeated by a small majority. In 1874 he was elected to this position, which he has since filled with signal ability, adorning the place with the simplicity of the early Roman times, when the robust virtues were valued at their true wort Ik Gov. Hendricks is one of those unaffected great men who impress themselves forcibly on the era as much by the wide contrast with others as by their own simple worth.

Such an impression he made upon North Carolinians last year at our great celebration on the 20th of May. And we will say that we think with reason that no man would be more heartily supported in our State who could have been nominated at St. Louis. CAROLINA MILITARY INSTITUTE, CHARLOTTE, N. C.
