The Domocratic Stato Convention of Ohio has ratified VALLANDIGHAM’s platform of the new departure. Asin the recent Deino eratic Convention of Pennsylvania, 60 now In that of Ohio, there was eomo dissent Against the unqualified acceptance of recon- Mruction and the three amendmonts to the Constitution. But in both Conventions the majority wes overwhelmingly the other way and tho minority quictly yielded. Tac Democracy of New Eagland, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Missouri, and other Western States, have herctofure taken the satno ground, ‘The Democrats of Kentucky have advanced very nearly up to the line, while the Democratic State Committees of Tonnessce and Arkansas havo just adopted resolutions cordially accepting the amend ments, All this anmistakably shows that the Dem perntic tide drifts steadily in one direction A few Northern Copperhoads and Southern Becessionists will coutinue to make unavail Ing efforts to stem it; and if they hold out till the Presidential campaign is opened, and the Democracy then present a sound candi- date on a solid platform, the defection of these malignants will be mado up, ten times over, by independent Republicans who will nid the progressive Democrats in driving the open and secret friends of the Lost Cause from their last ditch, On such an issue, the rallying ery of theDomocracy should be: A fair field, @ square fight, and no quarter $$ = Buila tt and Eudow It.

It begins to appear pretty plainly to the outside public why the Rev. Dr. Canttoy, the senior Agent of the Methodist Book Con. cern, has been ali along #0 reluctant to per mit his colleague, Dr. LANAMAN, to overhaul the books and records of the Concern. Affi davits presented to the Supreme Court on Thursday show that Dr. Can.ron li divers occasions, received interest on money belonging to the Concern ; and an inquiry whether or not this interest was duly paid over might result in unploasant revelations, No wonder that the impertinent rummaging of the books which Dr, LANATAN asks for is resisted. Dr. Cantton’s own reputation is at stake, as well as that of the Concern, and he takes his measures accordingly ‘The testimony adduced by Dr. LANATIAN fa to the effect that, during the years 1867 and 1868, the average monthly cash Valances of the Concern were about $36,000 greater on its cash book than on its bank account. Daring the same period the account of Tuomas Carros, Treasurer, in the same bank in which the Concern kept ita money, was a large one, and considerable sums of money for interest on loans were carried to the credit of Titomas Canvron individually Dr. Can.ron is th forced into a corner. where he must explain or be thorouglily dis graced. Where was tho missing $36,000 during those two yoars? Whenee came the funds standing in tho name of Tuomas Canton, Treasurer, aud what was done with the intercet credited to Tomas Cant Ton’s individual account? These are im portant questions, and we look to seo them speedily answered — . Can Those Things Bo? One of the spurious sections smuggled into the Code Amendment Dill, which bas just been vetoed by Gov. Horrman, provided that no business corporation should be com: pelled hereafter to bring its Looks into Court in any action or other legal proceeding, but that such corporation might, if it proferr furnish transcripts of the particular entrics de sired, which should be received in evidence inetead of the origiual books. Much curiosity has existed as to the particular interest which t provision was intended to aid, and a dis position has prevailed to attribute it to some one of the great railrond corporations which are so frequently engaged ia litigation. A curious report has reached ua, however, to the effect that this particular clause was in tr in the in of the Methodist Book Concern, which is now resisting 80 desperately the efforts of the Rev. Dr. Lana HAN to bring ite Looks into Court, as a means of obtaining light reapecting the frauds which it is alleged the present mana Gers of that institution are endeavoring to conceal, We lave not been able as yet t trace this report to its source, but it certainly lias alout it an air of probalility, Ifthe Hon, Tuomas C.

The Staterman says that several parch: covered with hieroglyphica, w ent 4 evidently 4 ich hi beon sont to certain noblemen inviting them to join the order, had been picked up in Oxford, Engla thas indicating the existence of o brotherhood of the Phantoms there; and that similar scraps of stamped parchment have been found by children in the streets of Lexington, which is accepted as conclusive proof that Ken- tucky is also blessed with the presence of a se cret order of Phantoms.
