Ewiko was not very handsomely treated hy the Columbus Democrats. The posters announcing his meeting last night were not ou the wallstwenty-four hours before tho time for the speaking. He was not received at the depot, and was allowed to struggle up town and to the place of meeting alone. No ' systematic . effort was made to ''work up" to the occasion, and his nudience was small and spiritless. When General Ewing came to Columbus he fell under the shadow of the Converse jealousy. Possibly the Converse crowd would have done better for themselves if they had swallowed their feelings and made things more presentable. Ewing has influential Democratic friends in Columbus who are offended at the treatment he received. CRIME AND CASUALTY. A Reverend on Trial for Murder. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 20. Tn the ease of Rev. H. 8. Hayden, on trial for the murder of MaryStannard, the Justice ruled out the testimony of Susan (Mary's sister) as to what the latter had told her. Counsel for the Stute said he expected to have more evidence soon, and asked for an adjournment. Defendant's counsel objected, and the Justice refused to order an adjournment. The counsel for the State then withdrew from the case, and tire Justice, after receiving the testimony, ordered the prisoner discharged. Mr. Hayden received the congratulations of his numerous friends upon the result. The State claim that the Justice ruled out vital testimony, and it is said that Mr. Hayden will bo brought before the next term of the Superior Court on a Bench warrant. Another Train Robbery. Fort Fkttrrman, -Vv,, Sept. 20. The mail from Mclvinney was jumped about twenty-three miles north of here by twelve masked men. They succeeded in surrounding the two soldiers who were acting as escort, getting the drop on them before they had an opportunity to draw their weapons. The horses and arms of the cavalrymen were taken, and the mail thoroughly ransacked. Messrs Tillotson & Snyder, post traders here and at Mc-Kemiey, were passengers on the mail wagon, but having been robbed of upward of $300 a few days before while on their way from Old McKinney to the new post on Clear Fork, the highwaymen secured yety little booty from them. This part of Wyoming is infested with horse thieves, robbers and scoundrels at the present date. Guilt ft Hecomtnry Consideration. Nashville, Tknn., Sept. 20. James Russell, colored, charged with attempt to commit rape UJon Mrs. Jackson, was taken from jail at Murfreesborn this morning at three o'clock and hanged by a mob, one mile from town. There was some doubt of his guilt. InJnrcU by House Falling. Pnii.ADra.pilM, Sept. 20. This afternoon, during a heavy wind and rain storm, the wall of a new house, Forty-fifth and Chestnut streets, was blown down while workmen were engaged on it. Seven injured, three dangerously.

The Senator, alter acknowledging his hearty greeting, began his speech. He uaidl . We have met on a year likely to be the tiinge on wnieii much m the future will turn; a year which, in its political results, will leave a deep and lasting impress on other years. America, in common with every land in Christendom, has been pass ing Liiruugii u jhtkiu m depressed inuiis-tries and commerce. Labor and capital have botii sullered much evprvwhprc Hard times have fallen on all lands; not on all alike, because less heavily on ours Euan on oincrs. ureat Jiniain, Liennany, juissni, x ranee unu. oiner countries ore passing through deep tribulation. We have overpassed the worst, and restora tion, gradual but constant, is sure, unlesf a wunt of wisdom and fallacious measuref block the way. The matchless resources of the country, and the matchless enterprise and artivity of our people will not fail to cure our business disorder, if these things can oe assured. J'irst Congress must not destroy the headway which has been made and launch the country on new seas .of confusion and agitation by wild and restless attempts to control the laws of trade and create values by legislation. 1'imineial stability and cer tainty, on which men can rely and caleu late ahead, niut not be exchanged for ex pioueit meories or novel devices. Perma nence nnu hxoilncss in Jaws arc often bet ter than philosophy, or even perfection. Second We must have frugal, honest, good, earnest and steady administration and honest constitutional currency, with the public credit kept high and untarnished, and the public treasury defended against unfounded claims and' against all schemes of plunderers and speculators. Third We must have peace and order and protection, full and equal before the law, for the rights of nil men everywhere, North and South. The object of just government is not to carry on business, but to protect life, property and rights; and thus so leave every citizen free and safe in all lawful exertions, opportunities and enterprises in which he chooses to embark. Wealth or property cannot be conjured up by legislation nor by political mirties. No slight-of-hand can produce it, no philoso- pner s stone or perpetual motion can he discovered by legislative devices, however cunning. Property is the product of lanor. ii must ne neweu out ot (he iorest, plowed out of the fiej.d, blasted out of the mine, pounded out of the anvil, wrought out in the factory and furnace. Labor is at the bottom of it all, and the nation in which there are most laborers, and in which labor is best cherished and cared for, must be the richest and most prosperous. Capital and labor are natural allies. When they work both are enriched; when they are hostile or separated both sutler. What is the difficulty now? Business is stagnant; capital is afraid, and labor lacks employment. Capital is always afraid when labor lacks employment; whenever capital is not afraid there is a brisk demand for labor. It had been asserted again and again that three millions of laboring people in the United States, who want work, arc out of employment. But everybody knows this cannot be true. The picture has been over-painted. The truth is bad enough, and sad enough. Business is depressed, and honest, honorable labor is suffering. Can these evils be cured by such projects as are now urged upon us? Tt is said we should have new and large issues of paper currency. What for? Is not currency piled up in every bank, and money center and depository? Cannot money be borrowed in millions at the lowest rates of interest? When all the paper and coin in the country i3 put into active circulation, will there not be abundant currency? Confidence, stability and assurance that credit and value will not be tampered with, will unlock capital and put money in circulation. But schemes for watering the currency and the shrinkage of its purchasing power, and thus changingbargains and transactions will frighten capital and make it hide. What is to lie done with the nt:w issue of paper? It is to be paid, we are told, to bond holders. What are they to do with it? Will they give it away? They will keep it or loan it. What good will that do? If put into circulation it will dilute and depreciate the whole currency, and put up prices for the poor to pay, and the wages of labor will not advance fast enough to keep up with the advance of prices of food and commodities. All borrowers with security can borrow at cheapest rates of interest now. This is all they can do after more greenbacks are issued. But to pay oil' bonds with paper currency will stop so much interest. es, but what stands in the way? Gold can be bought too dear. In the first place this would be flat repudiation. Yvhy? The bonds themselves for years have said on their face, and the laws and resolutions in every solemn form of plighted faith have said that the bonds should be paid in honest, hard money in coin. Savings banks, trust companies and individuals have bought these bonds for widows, and orphans, and soldiers, on their plighted faith. The bonds arc not held by the rich. Most of them are held bj or for those who arc not rich. Airain. the Gov ernment and American people in Congress assembled said, when they asked money for bonds, that more thatl four hundred millions of legal tenders nhould be outstanding. This was to say the bonds should never he paid by legul tender notes. 1 his pledge obtained the money and there it stands, to be kept in honor, or repudiated in dishonor. What is ihe reason tor striking at the bonds of the United States, or at those who hold them? The chief objection now seems to be, the bonds are not taxed. There are several answers to this. In the first place, they were and arc taxed, and taxed in advance. The man who pays par in gold for bonds bearing only lour per cent, interest, and thus loans his money for 4-7, or only a fraction more than half the legal and usual interest in the State, pnys for exemption from further taxation in advance, ami pays pretty largely for it. To tax Ugain, or differently, now, would be to break the contract just as much as to refuse payment in whole or in part. A he bonus and legal tender notes were issued to save the nation s lite; and now it is proposed, in violation of the laws and taifh of the American people, to repndiate and depreciate both. Tt is proposed to uproot our whole financial BysteiB, when its worst srils have been overpflHsed ; to overthrow the banks and to Jet slutting Congressional majorities, caucuses and coalitions, printing paper promises, or fiat money, us much . an as often as they please such action would unsettle values, would inflate and debase currency, would cheat labor of its just WHRes, would breed corruption and gambling; speculation would battle all calculations of business, and make trade worse than a rattle a rattle in which honest industry, not shrewd capital, would he the heaviest and sorriest sufierer. . The Republican party is against it, and one of its missions is to manage to final success and relief: the ugly financial legacy of a war, which it did not make; a war in which every Republican, in every State and on every spot, was on his country's side. Look over the country and see the position of the Democratic party. ' The Inst National Convention demanded the repeal of the act to resume specie payments next January. Now, when gold and paper have come together, months beforehand, Senators Thuriuan and Pendleton in Ohio, Senator Voorhecs and Governor Hendricks in Indiana, Mr. Johnston in Yirgi uia, the Western and Southern leaders of Democracy generally, and Democratic Conventions 'even In New England, call" aloud for huge schemes of more paper money. In the West the Democratic party has become the party of inflation. In New Jersey and other States, fusions of Democrats and inflationists are progressing. In Maine, a large portion of the Democracy voted the avowed expansion ticket, and the Democratic press exults over the result. Massachusetts out does herself; and General Butler advanocs as Caisar, with the Democracy at bis heels. Neither in Congress nor in the country will or can our opponents stem the rising tide of inflation.Senator Conkhng spoke of schemes to take money Irom the Treasury, m stairirer- ing totals for claims and grievances and projects to be presented when full sway in congress given 10 mo democratic party, and of the sentiment which now rules the "solid South" a South linade solid bv mi norities dominating through crimes against God and man. That "solid South" again, as oioia,nenusupamajontyot ail democratic votes, in Congress. It rules Democratic caucus, and must decide party action whenever it insists. In the House of Repscntu- tivcs there are torty eommittees,and already the chairmen of twenty-three of them are ex-Confederates from the South. After next iMuren me count win control the com mittees ot the Senate also. 1 am for eon-ciliatiotij and reconciliation, and concord, and peace all around. But my belief is that men and communities who stood by the flag and prayed for it and fought for it. if they behave themselves, are just as good as those who drenched the land with blood and covered it with mourning, debt and taxes. When the pestilence smiles the Southern homes let the North pour out, as she now does, money and sympathy; never holding back a farthing because it is Southern and not Northern woe. This is right. But when taking political action, let us he just to all; not only to ourselves but to those, whether black or white, to whose protection we are bound by tics which would not be forgotten by an Algierine pirate or a Barbary corsair. Senator Conkling spoke of the disbanding of the Republican party in (he Southern States, and thus closed: "There are matters about which Republicans dittcr widely and earnestly. These differences do not concern the issues which deserve attention now. It is not the right of any man nor any group of men, to divert He-publicans of New York from questions which urge themselves upon us. Let all men, of whatever party, see the dangers around and before us, and make common, whole-hearted cause to avert them. Let our motto be, 'In essentials unity; in nou essentials liberty ; in all things charity.'" Colliding having concluded, the usual committees were appointed and a recess taken. The following platform was unanimously adopted: The Kepublicans of New York, appealing to the twenty years' of struggles and triumphsjtis proof of Republican patriotism and udehty,and meeting the high demands of the hour in the same unfaltering spirit which saved the Union and established it on a firm foundation of freedom, make the following declarations: First The faith of the Nation is sacredly pledged to the payment of the public debt and the redemption of public promises, according to the spirit and letter of the engagement; and our good name and well-being reouire that the Nution's honor shall be kept as inviolate as the Nation's life. Second Under the management of suc ceeding Republican administrations, the country has advanced to the front of specie resumption, and highest interests of business, no less than the plighted faith of the Republic, demand that there shall be no step backward and no postponement. With this steady progress we hail the auspicious signs of reviving trade and industry, and congratulate the people upon this practie,ilevideneethat,if the goodwork shall be completed, the depression which crew out of the financial disorders forced upon us by the war of rebellion, will give place to a returning confidence and permanent prosperity which can rest alone on the lixed monetary standard of the commercial world on settled values, and full security and certainty for the future. liurd standing unalterably tor con-titutional principles of hard money, we insist that the greenback, instead of being dishonored and depreciated, shall bo made as good as honest coin ; that labor's dollar hall mean a real dollar; that fluctuations o uncertainties which rob toil and nar- alvze trade shall cease; that our currency hall be made the best currency, by making ill parts of it, whether paper or coin. equivalent, convertible, secure and steady; and all public servants, whether Executive officers, Senators or Representatives, whose acts or votes conduce to this high object, deserve our approbation. rourth ihe AMeetoral Commission was a wise and honorable mode of settling a langerous dispute. All parties were bound to abide its decision, and any attempt to undo or impair the conclusion it estab lished is unpatriotic and revolutionary. r lit Ii hile sincerely seeking fraternal relations in all just efforts and aspirations, we summon the people to renewed vigil ance and unflinching warfare against the vast horde of claims and raids on the Treasury which count for success on Democratic rule, under the mastery of a Solid South, and which would fall with peeial hardship in New York, as the chief tax-paying State in the Union. Jsixth We demand tree and unintimi-lated elections in the South as in the North, and full recognition and observ ance ot equal rights and liberty of all citi zens, as ordained by the amended Consti tution, and until they shall be secured, the work of the Republican party to protect human rights will be unfinished. Seventh We renew our declarations for the elevation of the public service on a basis of a secure tenure during the faithful performance ot othciul duties tor a fixed term ; for pure, frugal, and ellicicnt administration of National, State, and local uf-fairs; for unyielding resistance to any further land grants or subsidies to corporations or monopolies; for a grateful recognition of the brave soldiers and sailors of the republic, and, fin' common schools, free from sec tarian influence and itnmenaccd by sectarian appropriations. Eighth While recognizing with satisfaction that many patriotic Democrats do not share its spirit and impulses, we arraign the dominant forces of the Democratic party as a constant disturber of public tranquillity and confidence; as a wanton foe of public security, in its persistent assaults upon the authority and stability of the established Government, as attempting to weaken the Nation by crippling the army in time of uncertainty and danger; ns guilty of false pretenses in claiming for the Democratic House a reduction in public expenditures whose fraudulent character proved by the necessity for heuvy de ficiency bills; as dependent on a solid South and thereby subservient to all its dcmimds; as aggravating the troubles of ine country oy mischievous agitation throughout the period of its supremacy in the House of Representatives; as faithless to the obligations of National honor, and the chief support of the wild schemes of inflation, repudiation and utter financial disorders which imperii public credit and business security; and its lurcher or great er success would be a National calamity. An emergency in the history of the country, second only to the great struggle for its existence, now confronts us. As then the Republican party was the sole organized protection against National disruption, and patriotic citizens of whatever party names rained under its standard for the defense of the Union, so now the Re publican organization is the only efficient bulwark against National repudiation and disgrace- And it again invites good citizens of whatever previous political ties, to unite with it in preserving the National Honor, lo an Kepuopcans this great exigency especially appeals, to rise to; high obligations and join heart and baud for the triumph oi thos vital principle upon wnicn me security and weiiaxe pi the Ke-Dublia dene ml a. George William Curtis rising, was greet: va wun appiause ana loua cans to take the platform, where hewas again received with heartiest greeting. He said lie rose to second the motion for the unanimous adoption of the platform which hud just ueen reau. itencweu applause. I "we came here tor harmony and harmony we have found. I do not believe there'is a Republican in the land, from the President down applause, who can fail to approve the position taken in this platform on the great overshadowing issue of the hour. I believe this is the platform upon which the Republican administration of the country would stand." George F. Dan forth was nominated Judge of the Court of Appeals, and the Convention adjourned sine die. New York Democratic Htua- on veil-Htm. Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 20. At 2:45 the delegates entered the hall and business was resumed. Erastus Brooks was chosen Permanent Chairman. The committee on Resolutions made the following report and it was adopted: The Democratic party of the State of New York reaffirm the following principles, set forth in its platform adopted in 1874 and li77, aud endorsed by a large majority of the people of this State. Gold and silver coin and paper convertible into coin at the will of the holder, the only currency of the country; steady steps toward specie payments; the honest payment of the public debt. We congratulate the State and country upon practical relative value of the greenback currency of the Government with gold and silver; the preservation of public faith; a tariff for revenue; no Government partnership with protected monopolies; home rule to limit and localize most jealously the powers entrusted to public servants, whether municipal, State, or Federal; no centralization; equal and exact justice to all men; no partial legislation; no partial taxation; official account-; ability rigidly enforced by all; civil and criminal remedies; no private use of public funds by public officers; corporations chartered by State always subject to State supervision, in the interest of the people; the party in power responsible for all legislation while in power; economy in public expense, that labor may be lightly burdened and the laborer fully paid for his work; uniform aud equitable excise laws; no sumptuary laws. li'esohrtl, That provisions of the Stale Constitution are mandatory in rerrard to uppuruouineiu oi members or trie' senate and Assembly, and a failure of the Republican party for three successive years niter the taking of the census to so' apportion the State, is a grave crime against the people, and a dishonest aUd infamous refusal to obey the plain directions of the fundamental law. Resolved, That by on infamous conspiracy of force and fraud, the high officials and unrepudiated leaders of the Republican party annulled and reversed the Nation's choice tor Presidency, put a defeated can didate in the chair of Washington, and cheated the people of jhut reform of the Federal Government which their ballots had demanded and ordained, and it is the stern resolve of the Aniercan people that a it ci i irauu nas ueeu perpetrated tor the last time. The administration of Governor Robin son was athrmed. G. B. Bradley was nominated Judge of the Court of Appeals, and the Convention adjourned sine die. CongroKwioiinl NomiiintioiiN. MwiiiWTKit, N.

WASHINGTON. WILI, USE THE AHMf IF NIX'ESSAJIV. Washington, D. C, Sept. 20. The Cabinet to-day considered the large amount of business which had accumulated during the President's recent absence. There was some conversation concerning the clause in the Army Appropriation hill, prohibiting the use of the army or any part thereof as a possce coaiitatus to aid civil authorities, etc. This clause, it was said, had in numerous instances been detrimental to Government service. The Hecrctarv of War stated, however, that he felt justified in directing General Crook, should he deem it to be neeeBsary, to ailbrd protection to the Pacific railroad, the Government having an interest in the roads and a duty to perform in the safe conveyance of mails. AID FOR THE HOUTII BTIM. NEEDED. The Secretary of War this afternoon Hent Governor Shepherd, Chairman Yellow Fever National Kelief Commission, the following telegram received by him from Mayor I.angdon, of Detroit, Michigan:"Is there any truth in the published statement that they need no more funds, and that you have ordered an investigation in regard to the fever funds in the hands of the Howard Association of New Orleans? Can you give me the points where funds are needed or much needed ?" To this the Secretary replied as follows:"I am informed that the Howard Association have on hand an unexpended balance, probably sufficient for their wants at New Orleans and Memphis. I have ordered an investigation at all the aflected points save New, Orleans and Memphis. Suffering and want are great, and 1 think increasing, and even in those cities more help may be needed in the near future. You can scarcely go amiss in sending aid. G. W. McCraby, "Secretary of War."

'Cincinnati, Sept: 28. Eefugeea from Louisville, arriving by every train, and on all roadB, give alarming accounts of the sudden outbreak of yellow fever in that city. Two hundred and fifty eases are reported in the neighborhood of the Louisville and Nashville depot, and some streets in that vicinity are, reported as almost entirely deserted by the fleeing populace. Every vehicle obtainable is reported being used to remove the reiToTstrftken people, and haekmeri are accused of charging exorbitant rates when called in to service by the frightened inhabitants. The locality of the outbreak is said to have been largely populated by refugees from fever districts farther South, but the disease is not confined to them alone.

The Guardian's London correspondent says there arc strong indications that the Government are not in a hurry to take action on the Afghan question. Their desire is to leave the responsibility and conduct of the question almost entirely to Lord Lytton, Viceroy of India. It is desired to make the question an Indian, rather than an Imperial one. This is clearly indicated by the attempt of the official press to present the quarrel as solely with the Ameer of Afghanistan. Any intervention by the Cabinet would have the appearance of dragging Russia into the dispute. This the Government is anxious to avoid. This second reason for the abstinence from Imperial action arises from the differencesof opinion, notonly between tho Foreign Secretary and Viceroy, but between members of the Cabinet themselves. Another obstacle to a leading part being played by the Home Government is the state of Lord Beaconsticld's health. Viceroy ol Iiulla' llNmtchcn, Semla, Sept. 20. An Indian newspaper publishes the Viceroy of India's dis patches to the Ameer ol Afghanistan.

A girl about eighteen years ohl made a serioiiH accusation hint night agaiiiHt a citizen tolerably well known an a member of the legal profession. The girl wafl discovered maUing her way from the lawyer's loilgings at a late hour, and inteara. She related that the lawyer had met her on the street, had proposed to go home with her, and gave her some candy which she ate. Hho states that after that she. became unconscious and knew nothing till she found herself in the lawyers room, shortly before the time she was discovered niakiug her exit. She was unable to say whether she had been injured in any way, but the surrounding circumBtancea produced suspicion, and information was communicated to the police. The officers found the lawyer in his bed, dead drunk, .and were unable to get any statement from him. The complainant's brother made his appearance, and with a pistol visited the accused's lodgings, and it is probable that if he had not been purposely directed to the wrong room there would have been seriouH trouble. The police, taking nil things into consideration, did not feel justified in making an arrest without a warrant, and the Mayorcould not be found. There may be further proceedine:s to-dav. Un til the case assumes nuJIe tangible tdiape it is hardly fair to give the name of the party accused in connection with the very strong charge now implied, thougli in any event his conduct could not have been in the strict line of propriety. He will get the full benefit of print if the case "pans out." HORTICULTURAL Close of Hie Exhibition by tbc Columbus Society Premiums Awarded and General Notes. . .

' 1 ' Miss ' Caroline Schneider. A line audi-enoe, composed of friends, and admirers . Miss Caroline Schneider, gathered at the ., Athcneum last night, and were rewarded " with a select entertainment that commanded the endorsement of the critical in music. Miss Schneider's performance on the piano took her into a line of music which afforded an opportunity to compare her playing with that of some of the most celebrated pianists of the world, and the ;' result was the conviction that the accom- t plished lady will do honor to Columbus wherever she may go. Miss Schneider had the valuable assistance of the Beethoven Club nnd several soloists of established reputation. Mr. W. II. Lott, Miss Kate ' Cornstock, Miss Lulu Galloway and Mr.-William Bach were severally received with , much enthusiasm, and acquitted themselves in a manner befitting the interesting , occasion. Part II was "The Eendsvouz," with the . following cast of characters: Quake Mr. H. C. Comatork Bolden Mr. It. O. Smith Charles Mr. W. O. Tolford - Smart Mr. H. M. Butler Simon (Servant to Quake)... Mr. George. A. Backus ; Lucretia Miss Nettie Buttles Sophia .....Mitt Margaret Taylor Bose Mrs. Lafayette Baekus Richmond Sisters The Richmond Sisters will be at the Atheneum next week. Opera House. La wintee Barrett In consequence of the non-nrrival of necessary wardrobe, a change has been made necessary in the , list of plays to be presented by Mr. Barrett in this city. Instead of Uosedale, Richelieu will bemvento-ntgbt a play in which Mr. Barrett has achieved a reputation soc-ond to that of no other actor. The other " pieces will be as heretofore announced Money at the Saturday matinee, and double Saturday night Merchant of Venice and David Garrick irk. It is very seldom that bo much good entertainment is crowded in so short a time in Columbus as is offered in the Barrett engagement. We certainly cannot hope ' for a better showing in the same length of time during the whole of the season. If anybody waits for the appearance of a better notor than Mr. Barrett he is likelvto be disappointed. It is gratifying to observe that a gentleman who is so distinctly the representative of the leiritimatu drama, at a time when so many of the people of the stage are running to fireworks, is receiving tho most liberal patronage. Mr. Barrett is always successful, but his engagements this year seem to represent the very enthusiasm of success. His appearance here will be a gracious intellectual relief from a reign of entertninment m which the iniiittercnt pre dominates, ami we have no doubtColumbus will manifest as lively an appreciation of the treat now offered as our neiirhhors have. The diagram of the Opera House will be found at Schneider's music store, State street. Pantomime. Tony Denier's Pantomime Company, with Grimaldi and a strong aux-. illiary force, will make merry at the Opera House Mommy and Tuesday nights. t
