THE DEMOCRATS ADOPT A REPUBLICAR FLATFORM IN WISCONSIN. The Couvontion of the Domocratio party in the State of Wisconsin have adopted a platforms which is, as n whole, the best and clearest oxpression of the sentiments and opiuions of the Republican party that has boen recently put forth in any quarter, The Convention represented the whole Demo. cratic party of Wisconsin; it represented nlso ali those persons who in the past have thought proper to sever their relations with the Republican party, and who, under tho nomo of * Reformers,” cuntributed to the clection of tha present State officers of Wis. consin, 1t would seem that the incorpo. ration of n few Republicans into the Demo. cratic party, taking with them their prin- ciples, have leavened the whole Demoeratic lump of that State. Omitting those portions which aro either buncombo or of n purcly local character, and on which both parties ngree, wo gubmit tho platform of the Democracy, commending it as a model Republican document which ought to be adopted by avery Democratic Convontion in the country, Heroitis: 1. Preservation of the public credit ; honest payment of the national debt. 2. Rigid economy, State and Federal. 3. A sound currency in coin orits equivalent. 4. A tariff for rovenuo only, G. No sympathy or support for men who vote or apologizo for Credit Mobilier corruptions in Congress or elsewhero, or who afllinto with men of corrupt practices of Stato or Iederal legislation. 5, National sovercignty of tho Tederal Government in.tho exerciso of all its delogated powers ; soveroignty of States and peoplo as to alt powers not delegated to tho Federal Government nor prohibited to the States. 6. Supremacy of civil authority in times of peace. 7. Liberty, equality, and fraternity for all men under the law. 8. Freedom of tho press from Federal gag-laws, and freedom of religion and opinion. 9. Hostility to all Stato and Federal enactments which usurp jurisdiction over the private conscionco or punish one man for tho offenses of pnother. 10, Elevation of labor, and its permanent and positive protection in all ity rights without injustico to capital. 11, The perpetual subordination of tho interests of party to principles and the good of the wholo people, In addition to thesa general assertions, the Convention made another advance, and de- clared: ‘That, being but one peoplo and having but ono country, it is easential to natiounl penco and prosperity that thero be Larmony betweon tho State and National Governments in all their relations. Here iz an oxplicit and emphatio assertion of the Ro- publican doctrine that this is a nation and not o confederacy of independent sovereign- ties; that we have but one common country and not thirty-seven countries ; and that our Government is tho Government of a nation, and not the mere agent of tho States, Wo ‘commend this dootrine to the Democrats of Olio, Missouri, and Connecticut. The Convention, going further, denounced any union of Church and State ; and avowed that tho publio schools shiould be kept free from seotarinn instrootion, and that no divis- ion of the taxes among sects shall be permit- tod,—all of which is sound Republican doc- trine. ‘The Convention happily closed its frank adoption of these fundamental prin. ciples of the Republican party by a strong appeal for the roform of the Clvil Service, that oficial corruption be extirpated by sub- stitating honesty and compotonoy as quallfl- cations for offico in placo of partisan service. Wa congratulate the Democracy of Wis- congin upon the manliness with which they bavo discarded all the ante-War political herestes of the Domoeratio party and bravely ndopteq all the distinctive principles of the Republican party, 'Tho contest in Wisconsin presents the singular spectaclo of both the Democratic and Republican parties support- ing rival candidates, but all on & Republican platform. Tho Democratio party has its can- didates, but it has & Republican platform, which discards whatever is left of tho old Domocratio doctrines, The poople of Wis- consin this fall huve the choico narrowed down tonmero personal one. Partics are not divided on principles—both sets of can- didates aro running ona Ropublican plat form. As every voter, no mstter which ticket he may prefer, will have to vote for the Repub. lican platform, Domocrats will be at libarty to vote for candidates on either ticket. In tho cholco of candidates, tho people have Lod o two years' trial of Gov. Tavros and Lis nesociates, and now know how the professions of reform have sadly fallen short in the performance, and how the Btate Luos been ruled and governed by the cabals and favorites who seized the Reform hobby and bave been riding it to their profit.

Greenbacks at the Now York Gold Ex- chungo yesterdny depreciated to 86}, The Directors of the Contral Pacific rec- ommond semi-ananal dividends of 4 per cent on the ferrfully-watered stock. This shonld suggest to Congress the advisability of logis- lation which will compel the road to pay the annual interest on its guaranteed bonds be- fore declaring dividends on its watered stock, Up to July 31, 1875, it had defaulted on these payments 80 far that the nation had had to poy $9,861,030 of the railroad's ducs, The rain-storm of Wodnesday night cov- ered a wido aren in Northern Illinois and Southern Wiscopsin, A rain-fall amount. ing in severity to p water-spout was experienced along the line of the Chicago & Northwestern Railrond, and, in conssquence of the sudden washing away of bridges, sev- eral serious nccidents to trains, with large loss of lifo and severs injurics to passengers, aro roported. Thero is a prospect that tho change of meeting-place will be seized upon by a con. sidoruble portion of tho Sioux Indiansasa pretext for refusing to attond the council ealled for the purpose of negotiating the pur- chase of the Black Hills. Tho cfforts of the Commission to gecure s fair and peaceful ad- justment of the matter by means of a goneral ' nasembly of the tribes have already met with wany set-backs, and, cven if the council should bo convencd ns contemplated, the present temper of the Indians does not promiso well for the result of the negotin- tions. Admiral Roxciese Le Nowry, commander of tho French Meditorranean squadron, is not ouly a Bonspartist in sentimont but an avowed hater of the present Ropubliean form of Gov- ernuent. In o lotter rugretting his inability to nttend o Bonapartist banquet, the Admiral expressed without reserve his hope for a restoration of tho Napoleonic line, and tho pablication of the lotter hay ercated not a Littlo oxcitement, President MacManox found it necessary to call a council of Minis- ters to take cogmizance of tho Admiral's lot- ter, and it is not unlikely that the end of the broezo is not yet. —— The fight on tho currency question in the Penusylvanin Demoeratio Couvention termi- nated in a victory for the inflationists, and the Ohio Democracy hiove sccured a powerful ally in their rg-money crusade, OIld B AuzeN fairly danced for joy when he heard the news, and lost no tiwe in forwarding a congratulatory telegram, Frantio nppeals in behalf of tho old Democratic doctrine of hard monoy were of 1o avail in tho Penn- sylvania Convention; the high-larif and groenback men wero largely in the majority, and wero not in a mood to tolerats a discas. sion of the quostion in open Convention, The effect of the action of the Pennsylvania Domocrats will ba to add new prominence and importance to the currency issue in Ohio, for upon the successof the inflationists in the latter State in Ootober must largely depend the result in Pennsylvia in Novem. ber. The Commission appointed to investigate the charges of fraud at the Rod-Cloud Agency will meot in Washington to-day, and among the first things to be determined will be whether representativea of the press shall be permitted to muke full rgports of the pro- ceedings. It is to bo Loped that the Com- mission will not decide to Lold sacret sos- sions, leaving the public in ignorance of the developments upon which the final report is to be based, and also giviog rise to the sup- position bat somebody would suffer if all the facts wore wnde known, Buch a course ou the part of the Commission would be especially injudiclous under the circum- stances, Light and publicity aro needed in this matter of the Indian fraudy, if for no other reason than toremove any suspicion that concealment rather than disclosury was contewplated in the appolntment of the Commission. The Chicago produce markets wore irregu- lar yesierday, but tended downwards, Mcss pork wes rather quiet, and 5@10c per brl * higher, closing at §2L50 cash, and £20.85 for October.

Thoy know further, that if bo ba elected ke will bo Governor in fact a8 well a8 in law, and that no man or gangof men will rulg, or control, or dictate to him. We commend the action of the Democrata of Wisconsin as an examplo worthy to befol. lowed by the Democratic party in all the Statos. oo —— THE WEST TOWN BOARD, Wo endeavored in vain to head off tho tax- grobbing Celts who constitute tho Sonth T'own oflicors ; wae conld not held the Jus- ticea to their plain, sworn dnty, aud the thievish grabs wero mado, though not quite to the sama oxtent as last year. We think wo discover nbettor disposition in tho Jus- tices of tho West T'own Board. Every prop- osition that looked liko a grab and steal waa put naido at the Inat meoting. Though Jus- tico EpermarpT wna absont (and ho ought not to have been), tho remaining Justices re- fused to permit tho Assessor to take tho va- ennt seat and voto on his own salary, o8 was shamefully permitted in the South Town. Thero will be nnother meoting Saturday cvening, when tho question of fixing tho salaries will come up, There are saven Jus- tices, nnd overy one of them ought to be present. TFive of them constitute a mnjority of the Bonrd, and ean prevent any stenling. Messrs, Scurty nud Monmmsoy will une questionably opposo the grabs to the Litter end, and the publie expect that Messrg. Suenipay, Isaersonn, Martsoy, and Eeenmanor will likewiso sot their fnco like flint against thom, It would bo gratifying, too, if Justice Sarispury would unite with tho others, and make the defeat of the grabbers unanimous. The Bupervisor bas tho ‘‘check ™ to ask for R1,8221 He would bewell paid if ho received 2100, which would bo nt the rate of &i ndny of actual servico of vory fow hours per day, and not ono of the dnstices onght to consent to give him a penny moro. Tho clerk would be well pnid at 250, as he has scarcely a thing in the world to do, and as no financial or other re. sponsibility attaches to his position. If the West Side Justices will insist upon limiting thoso salarics to what they ought to be, there will ba lesa corrupt repeating and villainous batlot-box stuffing at the next election, theso annual town grabs may be stopped for all time, and the tax-pnyers of Chicago will save nearly $100,000 a year in the three towns, Each of tho Justices should keep this well in mind. A B AR CURRENRCY, The Grangers of Sangamon County had a nice picnic on Wednesdny, which was on- livened by rome good rural poetry by ona of the Pomonns, and offset by one of 8. M, Syrru's intorminable barangues in prose. But the most novel foaturo of the occasion was a now currency proposed by ome Fon- BYTHE, Who is sunounced ns the Chaplain of tho Stato Grange. If tho tremsures which Chaplain Fonsyrne recommends his flock to 1ay up in Heaven be no moro valunble or im. perishable thau those ho suggests for earthly uses, wo fear that ho will makelittle headway in tho work of converting sinners to forego tho pleasures of this Iife to secure them. According to Chaplain Fonsyrme's idoa of money, the Government ought to tako bits of papor and print thereon : THE UNITED BTATES. TEN DOLLARS, This is the only kind of money which Chaplain Fonsyras thinks the country ought tohave. Itis mo promiso to pay. It doca not look to redemption or conversion, It dacs not contomplate gold or gilver. Itisto have no intringic valuo whatover, It is to ba n mero Government fiat, stamped on picces of paper, which every man must aceopt in exchange for any valuablo commodity ho may hiave to sell, or any valusble service ho por- forms, In nctual valne, a thousand-dollar note will be worth just as much ngaone- dollar note, and neither will be worth the in- finitesimal fraction of a cont. Of courso there is no limit to be put npon such money as this, Thoro is nothing to do but to print it in such quantities an moy be “needed.” The Government nssumes the functions of the Almighty,—in fact, cxcceds them, for the best thing the Almighty could conceive for man's use and beneflt ag n currency—as o modium of exchango— waa gold, "Bt this Chaplain would stamp o picco of paper with a moaningless utteranco, and, presto, change | that pioce of papor im- mediatoly becomes worth ten or a thousand gold dollars. This ort of currency will make our country a new Arcadin. The first thing for the Government to do will be to stop all taxation, and thenceforth pay off all expenses in tho new money. It will require about three wecks to print money enough to pay off the whola national debt. After that, the Government may sot its printing-presses to work and run off “money” enough to pay oll tho State, county, and municipal debts, Having done this, the Government could, at vory small expenso to itself, print enough monoy to pay off tho debta of all the individ- uals. It conld then order a general sus. ponsion of productive and industrial labor, direct the peoplo to buy in other countries whatever they want, and furnish thom with money enough to pay forall the things their hearta could desiro, ‘This would be all very lovely; but sup- pose the poople of other countries should ra- fuse to roceive theso bits of printed paper, what then? Suppose, for instance, n grocer of Springfleld should buy $100,000 worth of coffes, augar, and molasses for the people of Bangamon County, His prosent practice is to go to Now York and sell his greenbacks to the gold-brokors for the highest price he can got. Ho then sends thoe gold to Brazil and Cuba, buys his coffee, sugnr, and molasses, and sells them at a suficient morgin to cover the fluctuations and.depreciation. But no- body will give gold for Chaplain Forsyrus's currency, becauso there 18 no promise or pre- tense that it will ever Do rodeowed in gold. The Springfield grocer would have to send his bills, which we very much fear would not bo accopted in Braril and Cuba, 8o it would Do if tho Pomonas and Ceres of Sangamon County wanted any French silks, or if the doctors meedod opinm, or tho children got tho ague and required quinine, Unloss these bills wore sccepted as money in France, the Indies, Poru, and the other countries where wo buy more than we pay for in producta of the land, the people of Bangamon Coumnuly would Lave to go without their coffes, thelr &ilks, thoir drugs, eto., sto, If Chaplain Fosz. syus, or any of his flock, can inform us how this little diffioulty can bo overcome when we shall have definitely and formally abandoned tho money of the world, we may approve of Lis schemes, Qur columns are open to him aod his followers for that purpose. . Probably Chapiain Foasxras thinks his ligion, * Tho Intarior belioven it i3 the fruit of dogmn. 'That is the exnct difference be- tweon us. As ngainst an Jnterior rovival of dogms, which would consign all who, don't beliovo in tho Interior dogmn to an uncom- fortably warm place, wa prefor a rovival of honesty, which tho Taterior says i nonsenso. Meanwhilo, s T Trinuse has no idea of abandoning the Tnterior to its fate or sur- rondering it over wholly to the Evil One, it would suggest to the Interior not to loss its temper and call people *liara.” Buch opi- thats are not becoming, oven in tho mouth of o dogmatist, much less in that of o Christian, proposition entirely originnl, and hns novor heard of ono Jony Law.

BYTHE now propoges for this country, Hero is Mr. Jonry Law's idea, sel forth by himself in his own words : But this scarcity of spscts generatly comen trom tho entightonad cupidity of notghboring natione aud the Dlind dlatrust of our own counteymen, The forelgner, amatenr aleo of gold and allver, has an {nfinite variely of resources for drawing our specis awsy from nry mich a8 bribing otir own subjects by illlelt and erimi- nal galue; and oven the subjecte, without engaging in thene misdecds, Ahut up thesa SIGNS OF TRANSMIB- BION aa though they wero a real tressure, being In- duced thereto by fear or dlstrust, which K call, in every cano, blind and frrational, becaurs it arresta the circu- Istlon and thiows dificultien in the way of the Stato, and s more likely than anylhing eiso to plungs tho people lnto the poverty which they dread, But Lero s the soverelqn remody for thiadlls 1t {n togive tho people a HIGN OF TRANSMISSION, of wwhich the material shalt be of native growth, tho vol- nme of which tho Prince may augment and diminish IN ACCORDANGCE WITH TIE WANTS OF TIE BTATH AND OF COMMERCE, and, above all, WIICIT BITALL HAVE NO INTRINRIC VALUE! Mr. Law, having aucceedod to the contro} of the finnnees of France, issued his sort of wonoy {o the amount of nearly 2,000,000,000 livres (about the value of the present frano). Gold and silver disappenred from circula- tioy ; tho crash came, anddreadful was the re- sult; and, finally, Mr, Jouy Law had to fly the country tosave his lifo, Chaplain Forsyrup probably docs not care to go through with Mr. Jonv Law's personal experience, and ho will probably be saved the trinl by tho good sense of tho American people, who will de- clina to adopt any make-beliove monoy, e Moo\ vy THE NEW YORK ég};HBLICAN CONVEN- The New York Republicans in their Stato Convention on Wednesday last spoke out clearly and boldly upon nll the political issucs of the dny, and presented them to tho people of that State with an enthusinsm and una. nimity which will rally tho entire Republican elemont of the Stato, and call back those who have wandeped nway from their party. Tho Convention was doubly fortunete, first, in its platform, and second, in its ticket, The platform is built solidly and put togeth- er without quibbla or ovasion. 1t is compre- hensive enough for any Republican to stand upon, and overy Republican will know npon what ho is standing, Thero is no half-way work, no botching, no weak planka or knot- holes, Every plank is sound to the core and built of goad Republicon doctrine, In thig respect, it stonda in striking contrast with the compromises of nlarm and subtorfuges for safety which wero noticeable in the Penn- sylvania Convention on the same day. It is an carnest, Lionest, and manly declaration of Republican principlos. With regard to the policy of the National Governmeont, it impar- tinlly declares that the Government should bo in the Lands of those who sustain tho guar- sutees of the amendod Constitution; and ot tho same timo admirably definos the relations which should exist betweon the Government ond the Southern States, viz.: n just, gen- erous, and forbearing policy, a firm refusal to WOREINGMEN IN FRANCE, The most potent reason against a success- fal revival of communism in its snpposed stronghiold—Franee—is steadily ignored by political theoriata and prophets in England and the United States. Itis thoe marked in- crense in tho comfort of tho average French workingmon, Comfort and communism ara incompatible forces, The triumph of either involves the diminution of the other. When the Revolution.of '03 was at its height, tho pensantry of Franco wero communists of the most approved stripe. Thoy sacked and burned their Iandlord's chateaux and stole all tho proporty they could lay hands on. But the poasantry of to-day aro of tho most rig- idly anti.communistic type. Tho chango in their feelings is due to the improvement in their matorial condition bronght about by the land laws and tho aboli- tion of the oppressive faxes of ilo old systom, The scarccrow of threntoned communism, worked by wires that contered at tho Tuileries, made them devoted adher- onta to tho Third Empire, which promisod their property protection, The samo caune is producing the ssma offect among the work- men. A report published o fow days ngo by & committeo, appointed by the Assembly to consider the material and economic condition of the laboring classos, shows this. Tho law of 1861, sfter which tho recont Artisan- Dwallings bill of England was, patterned, hna had an important influenco in hettering the homes of the poor. Structures on thoe plan of the Pravopy buildings, howover, have not succoeded. Tho report says: *‘Tmmenso buildings, o kind of barracks, occupied solely by workmen, had scrious inconveniences in a moral and even political point of view, to avoid which, strict supervision, supported with difficulty, ind to bo organ. ized." Much hos been done by employers, The grent Crousot Iron Company lotsita em- ployes o house at & rent that barely covers oxpenses. Other companies regularly set npart n percentago of their profits in improv- ing the homes of their oporatives. 'These well-meant attempts arc regarded with con- siderable suspicion by the workingmen, who think that their wages arc lowered Ly just tho amount spent on their homes, This feeling soems quito goneral. Tho 14,000 omployes of tho Orloans' Railway Company, who are supplied with food and clothing in the Com- pany’s stores at nbout 80 per cont bolow market pricos, actunlly complain of this s an ovil. Co-operafion hes done something to bonofit the individual workingman, but the political bias that has bedn given to e e e et ene it hoa boon fual t its gonoral succoss. Tk 4 ¢ praisos tho strict sonits i stitution, ond the local enforcement repuct iikinen o staiol auniltiry regnistiods concerning light, air, oto., enforced in French factories, nnd declaro that tho health of the poor is much bottor than it was twenty years ago,—n fact thatis partly Que to the more gonerous diot that this class can now afford. Woges havo iucrensed. Tho great noed now is induatrial edueation. It s of value to compare this report with thoso submitted by tho Freuch workingmon sont to the Vienna Exposition, The latter have justbeen published, and are reviewed in n Into number of the Revue des Deuz Mondes. Thoy moy be taken as tho anthoritative utterances of the working classes. Thesa reports admit that wages havo rison in France of lato, but claim that tho cost of liv- ing has incrossed insn groater ratio. They show that industrial education hns mado grest advances, thanks fo tho trade- unions, which have organized tochnical schools, Almost without exception, tho re- ports condewnn strikes. This is a very note. worthy fact. It shows that tho Fronch workingman is far in advauce of his English or American follow on this important point. It appears, too, from theso interesting state~ monts, that tho lnboring classos hope to sco the wage.system abolished, and capital and labor united in the possession of the presont wago-carners, but they expect this to como nbout, not by & sudden revolution, but by a procesa of orderly evolution. Councils of workingmen are to bo formed,’ Thess will eutablish socletion for co-operstive dis- tribution. The copital accumulated by theso societics + and . by tho trade. unions is then fo bo used in starting part of tho members in a co-operative work- shop, The proccess,of accumulation will go on mennwhile, and tho next round sum of money saved will atart another workshop. Thus by degreea tho whole body of worlunen in cach trade will establish themselves in bunsinoss, ‘This is the programmo of action which Tz ‘Poinuxz bas ofton urged upon the attention of unjonists. When it is com- parod with the babyieh depondence of French workingmen, Litberto, upon the Stato; whon its calm and ordered develop- mont is contrasted with the flerce pagsion of the Commune; when the ovidont material and moral advance of tho individual laborer ia cousidered, then the ghostly texror of the Commauno fados away, and fearof the future 18 roplaced by hope, e ———ay Tho Wisconsin Demooraoy have held thair Convention and renominated the present State officers. Meanwhilo it is somewhat mystorious that the influentju) Democrata of Milwaukee and elsewhere, who but a faw doys ago protested 5o vigorously against tho renomination of Tayror, made no sign, The protest which these men wrole and printed ‘was ono of tho most bitter attacks ever made oven in politics. How ig it that they have suddenly grown so dumb? Why were they not heard from in the Convention? Wero they bought off or were they intimidated? Or, as 18 moro likely, did they rocognize the fact that they would be powerless in the Con- vention, and therefore felt it to be a better policy to remain quist and make their protest felt at the polls? Time will tell, Mean. whilo, tho hint of one of the anti-Tayrom men from the northern part of the Btate, that there were 2,000 voters in 8, Orolx County liable to stop at home on elestion day or go back to the Republicans, possibly throws somoe light on the subject. of national authority by those only who rro in favor of such a policy and will enforce it. It hns.no apologies or defense to make of corruption in office, but demands honesty and cconomy in every department of the State and National Governmonta and tho prompt arrest and summary punishment of all offenders. In this dircotion it gives its policy n local appliestion by sustaining the present Executive of the State in his cruanda ngainst the Canal Ring thievesand plandorers, —a crusade which, by the way, was sot on foot under a Republican regime befaro Gov, Tizpen commencod to onforco it. Upon the currency question, the Convontion was outspoken in ita demeuds for sound monoy., Thers was no confliot of factions on this point; no nocossity for compromiso in order to apponse any parg of the Stato, It will requiro no effort upon tho part of any Republican in New York to know where hio ls standing, Republicans of that Stato will not have to ride two horses at oneo like tho Democrats.
