MAY 25, 18T0 Tin Ohio Democrats achieved a glorious victory, last Wednesday over themselves. It is rather tiresome to be a Republican organ these days. The Democratic organs whack each other so that it leaves us nothing to do. The San Francisco Chronicle insists that with the Republicans and the Independents reunited California ought no longer to be looked upon as a doubtful State. Tug Milford (Dei) News says "We know enough of Southern Democracy from home experience and observation to fully satisfy us that there is no liberty for Southern Republi-; cans of any color." Tns Iowa Democrats, Wednesday of last week, adopted a hard-money platform, sub stantially the exact opposite of that adopted at Cincinnati.

There is nothing like a party with principles everywhere and forever one and the same. FiTzncGH, the fallen Doorkeeper, claims that he is entitled to his place because he is representative Democrat. The claim is a good one. lie has been indicted successfully for arson, grand larceny, and perjury. The Con federates bhould cling to him.

Uncle William on Thurman. Cincinnati Special to N. Y. Times. Governor Allen is vtry severe upon Thur- man, and says that he is not a corporal' guard of followers in Ohio outside of a few political "shysters" whom he has bought either with favors or money.

It is very evident that Governor Tilden is gaining strength in the South for the Demo cratic Presidency. Some of the leading South' ern newspaper organs are coming out strong advocacy of him, "and "public senti ment" is in the process of manufacture in that section. The race for the control of the con trol of the bt. Louis Convention seems to be narrowing down to Tilden and David Davis. Is a strong anti-Tilden letter the Washing ton correspondent of the New York Express (Democratic; calls attention to the fact that, in the history of our politics there is not single example where a party was successful in the November elections which lost all the great October States.

"As goes Pennsylvania, so goes the Lnion," was a party watchword, and a political truth that no man formerly disputed. Pennsylvania now has shifted her mantle to Ohio and Indiana, and they now cast the political horoscope three weeks before election with unerring certainty. The writer admits, moreover, the moral certainty liial this state will go with the party tlu.t carries both Ohio and Indiana in October; and that with the loss to the Democracy column in the South will be broken. This concedes tlie whole fight The Republicans will carry ocrjr uue ui ine otaies namea. Do Not Condemn Hastily.

Jlr. Morton, Mr. Bristow and Blaine are gentlemen who belong to the lristory of the time, men in whose genius and achievements we should all take pride. We may have our awn opinions as to their fitness for high places; we may think that Morton is too des perate in his views of many questions to be trusted in the White House: we may think that Bristow is too young and too inconsider ate for the duties of this supreme office; we may think that Blaine is too much of a trimmer and a politician; but this does not justify us in assuming as a consequence that they are all corrupt, bad, wicked men, who use their office for personal gain; who are vulgar job bers- who have forfeited the confidence of the people, and who should be in jail. Let us take some things for granted in druling with our puuuc oincers, ana among tneni this, that when men attain the eminence of Morton, Bristow and Blaine, they arc not as a general thing Until corruption is proven in-contestably, let us at least ive them the bene- 01 meir services ana tueir lame.

JN. 1, Herald. Centennial Items. New York City is to suspend business from Saturday, July to Wednesday, July 5, in order to celebrate the Fourth, and to attend the Philadelphia show. All the exchanges have agreed to this programme, and that the only draw-back is that the Legislature failed to take action on the memorial regulating that the days mentioned be made legal holidays, in consequence of which neglect, the banks will have to be kept open.

Ladies will be especially sad over the fact that a disagreement with the Custom-house officers has debarred the Exposition from a wonderful collection of diamonds from Brazil. The Brazilian Commissioner had brought on a display, estimated to be worth but Custom-house would not let them through without a bond of twice their value, to prevent sales, and as the Commissioner would not could not consent to this, the pretty stones were sent home again. One of the prettiest little side shows at the Exposition is a tiny Moorish villa, elaborate ornamentation, perfect in design, it is brought from Tangiers, and is a beautiful reminder of the luxurious side of Oriental life. Ladies of a strong turn of mind will do well examine the collection of trophies sent by Mrs. Matt Maxwell, the celebrated huntress Colorado stuffed animals and birds of all kinds, killed by her own hand, including a buffalo, a Rocky Mountain lion, and a monster grizzly bear.

She is a woman who can "sight her rifle clear to pigeons in the skies." the tenderness of her sex has never been imposed upon. One of the biggest things at the Centennial to be the parade of the Knights Templars June, which promises to be the most gorgeous display in the annals of Masonry. The number of Knights expected is estimated at upward of twenty thousand, exclusive of the Philadelphia organizations. It is odd that just now marble slab should unearthed in the Military Park in Newark, containing the following inscrintion The citizens of Newark, in grateful com memoration of the SOth anniversary of Ameri Independence, have on this 4th day of July, A. D.

1826, deposited this stone as a foundation of a monumental memorial here to erected; and when the dilapidation of time shall discover this inscription to future generations, may the light of the Gospel illuminate whole world." The memorial has nner been built; and the hope expressed baa hardly been fulfilled. Fitzhcgh, the Southern doorkeeper of Con gress, writing to a friend in Texas, last December, said, among other things: Come on Christmas for a few days and we will have a glorious time. .1 have more invi tations to frolick with members and Senators than any man in Washington. I am a byer man with the members than old Grant, I I can't put my foot on the floore of the Hall, but what they mate a brake for me ami sometimes a dozen trying at me at onae for plases for some friend. I scarsely ever get out of the office to go on the floore of the House I have under me the FoWi.ig rooms, Document rooms, File rooms all Committee rooms all employes in south wing of building and entire southern wing of Capitol.

I have a sup Assistant in each department and about a dozen book-keepers besides my office clerk, we do things up in style, I have a boy to take my hat and coat of I can't turn around without some one at my beck call, and when I get all of my new appointments broken in I shall have a nice time, now do try and come on this Christmas. The above is only a fair picture of the exuberance of the Democracy in getting into clover. Some of them are festively prancing around still. National Prohibition Convention National Prohibition Convention in Cleveland. Clkveiasd, May 17.

The National Prohibition Convention for the purpose of nomi. nating a Presidential ticket met in this city this morning. Green Clay Smith.of Kentucky, was made temporary President, and P. P. Russell, of Michigan, Secretary.

The usual committees were appointed, and the Convention adjourned until two r. it. On reassembling of the Conventiou the committee reported for permanent officers: Kev. H. A.

Thompson, of Ohio, President, and I. P. Russell, Secretary. The committee on Credentials reported 150 delegates present. i weive were represented.

ine committee, on resolutions not being ready to report, the Secretary read a number of letters from prominent prohibitionists throughout the country. The letters were or dered printed in the proceedings of the Con vention. The committee on Platform not being ready to report, tnc Convention adjourned till even- ing. At the evening session the Convention on Platform presented a report reaffirming the Hrumuiuou piann ol the platform of 1872, anu maue me following nominations: For candidate for President, General Greene Clay Smith, of Kentucky, who received the nomination on the second ballot, and accepted in a snort speech, (j.

Irwin was called upon, by legal process, to account for the money he used at Washington in securing a munificent and now famous subsidy from Congress for the Pacific Mail Ship Comnanv. He was required to show in detail where his money came from and where it went to. The amount involved was a round million. He succeeded in showing that it came from the company, through those who had the nVlit if anybody, to deliver it and that it went to fee lobbyists at the national capital, bribe congressmen and pay "election expenses" here andahere, as the politicians who favored the subsidy might direct 'PI tnfmuit ii i i-i. oum went to scnumauer.

ment, but accused Irwin of being "stingy and not paying schumaker enough." One would tue payment was liberal That Schu- maker was well "heeled," certainly, provided he kept only a small per cent, of it at last It was understood that tl.e Brooklyn member snouia superintend the passage of the bill through Congress, and of course he disbursed a good deal of it to others, in one wav and an. other. The Doorkeeper of the House received from Irwin. This Schumaker is a member of the present Confederate Conirreas. and the body, which was so righteously indignant at the corruption of Belknap, permits a far guiltier man than to retain his seat in their midst.

But then.Schumaker-is a Dem ocrat, and the zeal of the House for reform is not directed against the Democracy. When Pendleton is dealt a deadly blow it is alto gether accidental. It is the old story, and makes all the differ ence in the world whose ox is gored. Had he been a Republican, he would have been expelled promptly, as he should have been. The facts point their own moral, so far as con cerns the pretensions of the Democracy to be ing a reiorm party.

Hayes Seed in Tennessee. Knoxville Chronicle (Parson Brownlow.) GOVERNOR HAYES OF OHIO. contest of 1876 is to be hotly contested, and the Republican candidate must not be put on the defensive because of any doubtful record. The platform will not ignifysomuch as the candidate. His life and services must be the guarantee that his administration will be pure and able.

Ohio will be the great battle-ground in Oc tober. The State is close, but with a proper candylate the Republicans say they will sweep again, as they did last year. The memora ble struggle in the Buckeye State of last sum mer, will take rank in political history side by side with the great Lincoln-Douelaa Sena torial contest of ante-bellum days. The great central figure of that contest was the thrice-elected Governor of that great State a successful General, an able, and fearless public servant, whose private life and public record are without stain. It is net therefore strange that shrewd politicians see in Governor Hayes one of the most formidable Presi dential candidates before the Cincinnati Con vention next month.

He will not enter the contest with as maay votes as bis rivals, but not having enemies among the friends of other candidates, he does not run the risk of any combinations to defeat him. His friends have not packed conrentioua or made any noisy demonstrations, but have relied upon the mer its of their candidate to commend him to the intelligent voters of the country. The de mands of the times is a fearless, honest man, who will give us an honest administration of public affairs. It Is significant, that while every other candidate for the Presidency, on bath sides, has been, the target for vituperation, and been charged with almost every kind a ot offense, "Gov. Hayes has escaped.

He has just come forth from an exciting canvass in his own State, with an unstained record, and with him as our stalRlard-bearer, we could fight the Presidential battle without any fear of the crucial test to which the character ef candidate will certainly be subjected. Should the Republican National "Convention at Cincinnati nominate Gov. Hayes, we will certainly support him, and feel that we have a lead er tried and true, who will certainly follow to victory. The Democratic Victory. After a tremendous battle yesterday, the Democrats captured Holland.

Democrats, after a hotly contested fight, won a glorious victory over Democrats. The triumph will cause the hearts of one-half of the Democrats of Ohio to thrill with exultation, and of the other half to thrill with execration. One harf of the Ohio Democracy will receive the news with shouts of triumph; the other half with growls of anger. It was a glorious victory, and an excellent promoter of that harmony which will be imperatively required to carry the State against the Republicans, especially if the National Convention should happen to accept the candidate recommended by the tri umphant half of the Ohio Democracy, fresh from his defeat in the popular vote when he ran th second time for Governor. It was a great Democratic victory over Democrats, and therefore a great Democratic defeat; but what it was all about would be bard to find out.

Tburman may be regarded as a possible Presidential candidate, if backed by his own State; but who supposes Allen to be within the bounds of probability, or to be seriously supported for the nomination, even in his own State. There was a pretence of furious fight over the respective currency- platforms of Tburman and Allen, but in terms they to approach each other. The Allen platform favors specie payment at convenience, and meanwhile is for repeal of the Resumption Act. The Tburman platform is for deferring specie payment till conveni ence, and for postponing the time for resump tion. The Allen trick is for substituting green backs for bank notes, as the bank charters ex pure.

The Tburman dodge is for the same. Allen would have all these greenbacks ceivable for all dues to the government. Tnurman ditto. Tburman would divest these notes of their legal tender, but would have them receivable for all public dues, and re deetuable on demand in specie. Allen would have them receivable for all public dues, but says nothing about their legal tender.

The only difference that we cansce is that Tburman proposes specie payment at some time to be fixed, while Allen proposes specie payment at convenience. This seems not a great mat ter to fight about; but the Couvention fought over it as if bent on mutual destruction, and delegates have carried the fight to tbeir homes. Wt are inclined to think that Mr. Thur. man made mistake in planing down his plat-instigation torm 10 placate the softs.

It weakened his abroad, and did not conciliate his en- emy home. It seemed to make the oppo- s'tion mre arrogant But Thhrman's trim- ming of his currency principles proves him practiced trimmer in politics, and he doubt less acted according to his nature. 1 he Democrats yesterday achieved a great victory over the Democracy. They split the party, and sent half of it home howling exe cration8 on the other half. They adopted a platform which has no more promise of a currency blessing than simply the substitution of one kind of paper for another kind equally as good.

They endorsed a candidate who has no supporters abroad, and who, at the last elec tion in Ohio, was beaten in the popular vote. They dispatched one Presidential candidate, but did not set up another. Yet it was agio- nous Democratic victory. Cin. of 18th inst.

A Pair of Adventurous Lads. Walter Farbr, aged fifteen, and his cousin, frank Farber, aged seventeen. fan away irom ineir nome in Bt. recently, the JJlacIc Hills beirie their destination. Tney propose to kill In dians and make their fortunes.

Tbov had read dime novels and Black Hills advertisements, and learned just what they had to do to make themselves fa mous ana rich, so they got together $94. 80 cash of tbeir lewpective parents and bought tickets to Denver. Their equipment, aa was subsequently learned, con sisted of two tiny seven-shooting revol vers ana two boxes of cartridges for In dian-killing purposes, several little sacks for storing the nuggets of eold that they were going to Hud, a pocket- diary each, and the jacket, shirt, pants, and shoes in which they were dressed. They reached Kansas City all right, and while awaiting the departure of of the train for Den ver were approached dv a Hunaay-scnooi looking man whose sympathy was evidently excited in their behalf. He told them that he ctfuld ket their Black Hills tickets ex changed for tickets which would carry them clear to California, and then they could come around to the Black Hills by the back way and get a good view of the country.

He required, however, bonus of ten dollars on the exchange. They thought this an excellent sugges tion on the part ot the kindly young man and gave him their tickets, to gether with ten dollars in cash, receiv ing from him a nice-looking check on the Hiberian Bank of St. Louis for $100, which was to secure there until the young man brought bqck the Califor nia tickets, rtiey ueia on to the check until it look rather scaly in the light of the young man's continued abscence. and they soon after found lots of persons who could tell them tnat tbey were victims. A little Inaurv develooed the fact that the young man had sold the I tickets to a ticket scalper, and the boys bought them back at an advance ol $io.

Tbey felt very dismal tndeed at this experience. They had been out from home for more than a day and not an Indian nor a gold mine had they sighted. Just as the runaway lads were in the gloomiest part of a calculation as to how they could make their few remain ing dollars bold out till They could get shot at an Indian or pounce upon a gold mine, ao officer, bearing telegram from the Chief of Police of St. Louis nabbed them, and they ahanduned their purposed expedition, to the frontier and were escorted bacic home.

in which he forth with considerable force and clearness his reasons for devoting his whole time and attention to a single department ot medicine lie treatment of lingering chronic diseases. The same article also takes up the subjects of diagonsis, methods of consult atiun and treatment, and will be found to contain many valuable hints to the invalid. Dr Pierce is the author of a work which has al- ready attained a large circulation "The Peo- pie VyUlllluuu ocuau iiiuuuyu aurnut wu- taining some nine hundred numerously-illustrated pages, and devoted to medicine ii all iu branches, a work well calculated for the guidance and instruction of the people at large, and which may be had for by addressing the author. Dr. Pierce has now been before the general public long t-nongh to enable the formation of a careful stlmate of the efficiency of his treatment and tia medicines, and the verdict, we are glad to know, has been univsreally favora'ile to both.

Popularly speaking, the Bring of a pun is an instantaneous process; the ig nition ol the charge and the movement ot the bullet being to all appearance simultaneous. But although a large urns oi gunpowder in a close cavity is inflamed with auiazicg rapidity, this iufliiinmation is not instantaneous. We know Unit, there are other explosive such as gun-cotton, nitroglycerine, and various fulminating powders, which fire much more rapidly than kud powder; but it would be wrong to say that the rapidity of their com bust ion was more Instantaneous than gunpowter, because instantane-unss can admit of no degrees.

Looking at the question, therefore, from this point of view, we are forced to nek no ledge that there must be some duration of time in the burning of the charge. The length of that duration may be jjp small that we can scarcely conceive it. Scientifically spekingt however, there is a very appreciable duration of time between the first ignition of a charge of gunpowder and the conversion of the whole mass into gap; moreover, this duration is comparatively greater or less nnder different conditions.
