Mr. President and Gentlemen of thc Convention : I am at all times ready to respond^ ? to any call from the Democracy of this State. The ties that should bind us together are greater and should be stronger than thos^ of ordinary party associations. With us it is not only a contest for the enactment of a fa vorite measure or the adoption of a particular principle, but it is a strug I gie to preserve the civilization of our race. It was from such an appr?cia tion of the -. Democracy of this State that I, in obedience to the unanimous voice of the Convention and (rom a sense,of duty that I owed to the county and State, accepted the lead' ership of the Democracy of this coun ty in th . f ampaigu of 1870. Bel oe that year our party had been invaria bly defeated, but after our exciting and brilliant camp ign we won a grand victory. As your State Senator I have ad vocated the policy of white suprema cy, and the principles of Straightout Democracy, as received from Jeffer son, Madison and Jackson, the great leaders of the party. I opposed the secession of the Dem ocratic Senators from . the' Senate, against the wishes of the leaders" of the party, on the ground that such o 6tep would be in violation of the Constitution of the State, would be revolutionary, and would be in effect to throw away the fruits of our splen did victory at the ballot box. Time has vindicated the wisdom of those of us who refused to recede, and thereby saved the State from lapsing again under Radical rule. 2>C I favored a restoration of the usu ry h?vs in order to protect the poor and needy from the unlimited usury of the money-lenders. I opposed the amendment of the Constitution which levied annually not less than two mills on the dollar for educational purposes, as being without precedent, in conflict, with other portions of the State Constitution, and against, the sj iiit and letter of the Constitution of the United States, and for the fui t tier reason that this iniquitous measure was conceived by the leaders of the Radical party.. I strenuously opposed the educa tion of the children of . the whites ^nu-L'taeire m the^" colleges. I favored the passage of the act that prohibited the intermar riage of the whites and blacks. I ap proved the passage of the act that gave to the Govern? r the right io nul. pros, indictments found . against Radical violators of the, law. I was m favor of '.' putting into the *h ...ds of. every honest man whip to lash the rascals naked thro gh the wornt; ' "I opposed the pay of eith r the principal or intere-t of the,,lraudu lent Louds issued during tiie'-eigit yaars ot Radical rule in this State. I favored retrenchiui M and r-foim in all the offices of the S ate. I advo cated the election of new judges, and the throwing out of office all judges who held office ander a Radical ad ministration, I advocated the reduc tion of county and Slate taxes within five mills on the dollar. I am satis fied that a prudent and economical administration of the linauces ot the State will reduce our present enor mous taxes, which a:e about one per ct nt. on $120,051,024 : the amount ul. .the present taxable property of the S?late. Before the war tbe aggregate taxable p opeity ol the ?tale w*s ?532.500,552. Our taxes then tor Stale and county put poses were from j three to Kur mills ?J:, the dellar. The valuation of property nuder the pres eut Kidical system la aili Unjust, une qual anda fictitious >::e; the Vallie given to property by ?he auditors isj not upon the present standard of the Value of the property, but it is ref'tr red u.iok to what it w i? worth before the war, ?iud is" u nilly valued ct twice the amount il wdi sell for ?n open market at the present time! The practical operation of "this syslein-i> t'o cause the taxpaye s of the State t ? pay about twenty iutir mills ??n the dollar instead of eleven and three quat ter mills, the am? nut of the tax imposed for the cou itv by the last General Assembly. The system has driven capital out of the State an has prevented capital from coming into tho State. This is a dreadful and oppressive evil upon the poor taxpayer,"for the last analysis'^'of taxes makes those who cultivate the soil pay the taxes of the Government. This hidden and insidious system of taxation can but alarm all who are acquainted with the laws that should regulate taxes, for they can but s?e. that it will ab-orb the property of the taxpayers and ruin every interest of the State. . Within the las1 three years the shrinkage in the value ol the taxable property ol the State has been about fifteen millions of dollars. Unless a prop3r and wise remedy is applied, it will continue to decrease in this unprecedented manner. ' In stead of putting men - who cannot manage their own small finances suc cessfully in charge of the* finances of the Scate, you must place practical, level headed, men in the General -As sembly, who will be able to solve this vexed and important question of tax ation. If a man cannot manag own business successfully, you rest satisfied that he cannot prehend or manage the aggr business of the people of this ? In my capacity as.State Sent hav? labored for ail these meas and I have met .with oppositic the party and out of it. Some c measures that I have opposed the pet measures of the Radical ty, and they were boldly and eaj advocated by these men, who known as the Fusion element, ii Democratic ;>arty. The question of Straightout mocracy is to be fought again in campaign; the battle of'1876 i be renewed. It will be the gre; sue of the canvass.

The Iliad of v that.will How .from, it cannot be < me'rated or anticipated ; our "woi and men will again bemoan the ? ical rule that will ruin and dero the country.

In August convention of 1S76 Straightout party, after defeating i Fusionists before the convention, ii spirit of fairness and generosity i deavored to divide equally the Sb offices between the two wings of i pirty. The ra ult has been that; though the State was in 1S76 and 1878 in favor of the Str?ighout pc cy. .by a large/, majority of the eh tors, we have had dnringall that ti; a Fusion Administr?t io;!, and thc sime men who were ready to run Chamberlains ticket in 1S7G, \v did run on the Democratic ticket 1876 1878, are again eager ?or a thi term of .office in 1S80. li? they wa every office ?

NEW YORK, April 17.-The suite of Mrs. Caroline Briemaon against Mrs. Catharine Paach, of Tompkins and Willoughby avenues, Brooklyn, to recover $20,000 damages for the lo-s of the services and affections of her husband, Johaun H err man B tie mann, was tried to day. It has at tracted mach attention, being the fijjst in which, a woman has thus sued for the loss of wife's affections. Juege Neilson, who presided over Theodore Tilton's similar suit against Beecher, in charging the jury, re viewed the testimony, and said that as for the law under which the suit was brought, that had already been well settled, and it need not be con sidered by the jury. The jury, after an absence of three, hours, re turned the following verdict in writ ing : : " To the Honorable Judge : We, the jury, in the case of Briemann against Paach. after an earnest, heart felt anti most considerate attention ; after reviewing the evidence in de tail, giving it the calm, honest and sacred consideration due the merits ?-?.-1.KIB rioo^ eory>f> if? fb'ti ^nr't'li'io'"?'

Speaking of Ulysses Grant, Jr., and Miss Flood, of millionaire father fame, shesiid: "Well, I won't say they i are going to be married, but they have certainly achieved the first and most important stop,- that of falling in love and, indeed (laughing), I was a witness to the process. "You see, it happened at a picnic j giveu when the cx-President was in j Frisco, and a very jolly affair it was. j In the course of the afternoon Mies j Flood, like most young Indies on such occasion*, WHS seized with a violent affection for the il ir i of her native land; hut not feeling equal to i culling the specimen? by herself, in vi:ed young Grant to go botanizing with her. As they 'wandered by the brookside' and discussed the poetical definitions of different flowers, the young lady happened to espy a clus ter of the glowing wild geranium, es-, pedal ly adapted to her complexion, but, unluckily, growing on" the wrong side of the stream. '.This trifle, however, could not daunt the young Ulysses, and boldly he leaped the-turbid stream, grasped the bright blossom in his manly hand, and was about to return, when his knightly eye caught in the toils of a beautiful and luxuriant vine, which, quick as thought, he proceeded to break off and add to the impromptu bouquet ; but alackaday, the green and graceful vine, was nothing less) than poison ivy, which, rudely torn] off, revenged itself by sprinking the face of the fell destroyer with ifs vengeful sap, and, in consequence, by j tbe time the young gentleman re crossed the stream, he felt as if all life was made up of mosquitoes, and| the only comfbrtjin such a case, pro fanity, deuied him. . "A flood of teai'3 did not console bim, but luckily an old iady present with an infallible salve in her pocket did. That is to say she donated the salve and Miss Flood her sei vices and aa those services consisted in the application ol the soothing compound withthtf?BBB five ?mill finger?, the consequencevWB evident, and, as the salve smoothed away the wrinkles from the skin of th 3 s.'l (T?ri??.fy "yoa 'fr ..jj.-CIT"""'" ^ j tl?at tire sentiment: was" stroke 1 in, so to speak.

This question, which h-s attracted no little attention here of late, as well as elsewhere throughout the State, is now before the Supreme Court on an appeal by a citizen of Richland County, and a decision may bi looked for shortly. lu 1873 the number of immigrants arriving in tae United .Slates was 200,000; in 1S72 the number was 29.4,000, and in 1S74 they amounted to ore than 319,000.
