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 those 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 gle 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 o-.ved to the county and State, accepted the lead ership of the Democracy of this coun ty in tho campaign of 1870. Belie 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 Straightouo 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 n step would be iu violation of the Constitution of the State, would be revolutionary, and weald be in effect to throw away the fruits of our splen did victory at the ballot box. Time bas vindicated the wisdom of those )f us who refused to recede, and ;hereby saved the State from lapsing igain under Radical rule. Jx^ I favored a restoration of the usu j IKV.'S in order to protect the poor ind nesdy from the unlimited usury )f the money-lenders. I opposed the imendment of the Constitution which evied annually not less than two ailis on the dollar for educational )urposes, as being without precedent, a conflict, with other portions of the State Constitution, and against the ij iii t ii ri cl letter of the Constitution. ?f the United States, and for the arther reason tliat this iniquitous neasure was conceived by the leaders >f the Radical party. I strenuously opposed the educa ion of tbe children of the whites ' nu ?.-taclia in me same ti^L^ai^-m^ olleges. I favored the passage of 1 he act that prohibited the inte rm ar- . rage of the whites and blacks. I ap- ' ?roved the passage of the act that ;ave to the Govern'r the right to [ lol. pres. indictments found against ' Radical violators of the, law. I was u favor of " putting into the'hands " ?f. every honest man whip to lash 1 ho rascals naked thro gh the woridV' *I opposed the fay of eith r the : irincipal or intere-t bf thc pl audit en t bonds issued during the-eigit r?ars of Radical mic in this State. '. favored retrenchment and rVfprm in di the olfioe3 of the S ate. I auvo :ated the election cf new judges, and he throwing out of office all judges vho held ellice under a Radical ad nin?8tration, I advocated the red nc- ; ion of county aud Slate taxes within ive milli on the dollar. I am salis ied that a prudent and economical idministration of the finances ol the 0 state will reduce our present enor mous taxes, which ure about one per ;tnt. en *12?,5?l,?:M : the amount ul ;he present taxable property of the ?late. Bfcfon be \v..i the aggregate axable p opeity ol the ^taie Wts ?>532 530,552. Our taxes then ?or 'de and county put poses were from bree to I'vUi" mills v.. the dollar '111? valuation of properly nader the pres sut Ridicdl system l- ail unjust, uiu pt il and a fictitious d:.V; lue value jivttti to property by the auditors is lot upon th? present standard ot the ralue of the property, but it is reftr ed badfc to what it ?ra? worth before ,he. war, aud is u ti t ly valued it ;wice the amount il wili s?il for ?n )pen market at the pr?sent lime. Tue practical operation of "thia system-i o cause the taxpaye s of the Stale ; i pay about twenty mur radis <m the jqllaT instead of eleven and three patter mills, the aim tint of the tax imposed for the county by the last General Assembly. The system has inven capital out ol the State an bas prevented capital from coming into tho State. This is a dreadful and oppressive evil upon the poor ??xpay?rj for the last aualysis^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 see. that it will ab-orb tbe property of the taxpayers and ruin every interest of the State. . Within lue last three years the shrinkage in the value of the taxable property ot thc Stale has been about fifteen millions of dollars. Unless a proper 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 ol the State, you must place practical, level headed men in the General As sembly, who will be able to solve this vexed and important question of lax ation. If a man cannot manage own business successfully, you rest satisfied that he cannot c prehend or manage the aggre( business of the people of this Si In my capacity as State Senat have labored for all these measu and I have met with opposition the party and out of it. Some of measures that I have opposed v the pet measures of the Radical ] ty, and they were boldly and eagi advocated by these men, who known ar the Fusion element in Democratic party. The question of Straightout mocracy is to be fought again in I campaign; the battle of 1876 is be renewed. It will be the great sue of the canv .ss. It' the Strati out : olicy and party should i'.iil, j civilization of this State will be Hg imperilled, peace and prosperity 5 be unknown,' the great agricultu and commercial industries will come" paralyzed","and' a 'gloom v again settle upon ur-, and' the d? shadow of misfortune will envele the entire State. The Iliad of w< that, will How from it cannot be er me'rated or anticipated ; our "worn and men will again bemoan the Rc ical rule that will ruin and derolf the country. The names of some of the Fusi ieauers of 1S76 have been pat lc ward by the Press of the State" 1 the highest ofiices of the State, ai the choice will again have t) be ma' in the convention'of the party or I the primaries of the party betwei the advocates of Straightout Demo racy and Fusion Democracy. In tl August convention of 1S7G tl Straightout party, after defeating tl Fusionists before the convention, in spirit of fairness and generosity ei deavored to divide equally the feta! offices between the two wings of tb p.irty. The rei ult has been that; a though the State was in 1S7G and ; 1878 in favor of the Straighout poll cy. by a large - majority of the ele. tors, we have had during all that tim a Fusion Administration, and thc-s sime men who were ready to run o Chamberlain's ticket, in 1870, v:h did run on the Democratic ticket ii 1876 1878, aie again eager for a thin term of office in 1830.

NEW YORK, April IT.-The suite of Mrs. Caroline Briemann against Mrs. Catharine Paach, of Tompkins and Willoughby avenues, Brooklyn, to recover $20,000 damages for the lois of the services and affections ol her husband, Johann H err man Bi ie-, mann, was tried to day. Ir. has at tracted much attention, being the fijst 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 and tnosr consid?r?t'', attention ; after reviewing tho evidence in de tail, giving it the calm, honest and sacred consideration duo the merits ?-.?- r>-n"i !?.";; v r> f'i Hus non >.} i|g'"H I ' Thai, fii;-t, ""the defendant Paach "is J guilty of the nets alleged, which en titles the plaintiff, Briemann, lo a verdict; second, that in our judg ment no amount of money is equiva lent to a blasted hearthstone ; still we agree to assess the damage at ?2,500."

[Neun York Letter Chicago Liter Ocean.] Yesterday I t?et a young lady just from California, and fresh in its gos sip. Speaking of Ulysses Grant, Jr., j and Miss Fiood, of millionaire father ! fame, she s lid: "Well, I won't say they j are going tobe married, bat they I have certainly achieved the first and i 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 given when the ex-President was in Frisco, ami a very jolly altair it was. In the course of the afternoon Mi's Flood, lik? most, young Indies on such occasion", was aeizad with M violent affection f>r tha fl >i*'i of her native laud; but not. feeling ?quai to culling the specimens by herself, in vitad young Grant to go botanizing with her; l-? th?y '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 pecially 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 viue, 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 ils vengeful sap, and, in consequence, by the time the young gentleman re crossed the stream, he felt as if all life was made up of mosquitoes, and the oniy comfortjin such a case, pro fanity, denied him. . "A flood of tears did not console bioo, but luckily an old iady present with .in infallible ?salve in her pocket^ did.

IT is a most agreeable dressing, which is at once harmless and effectual, for preserving the hair. It restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By Its use thin hair is thickened, and-baldness often- though not always cured. 'IE checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where thc glands arc not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. Thc YiGon cleanses thc scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of thc humors and diseases peculiar to thc scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of thc scalp and hair arc impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair? Thc VlGon is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for thc toilet it is economi cal and unsurpassed in its excellence. rRLr.\nEi) r.v Dr. J, C.
