It states distinctly lljat it is the sense of the Ohio De mocracy that not one dollar should be appropriated by Congress to pay Soldiers, marshals or supervisors to interfere with elections. If we are not much mistaken in our judgment, ifot only is this the opinion of the Democrats of Ohio, but it is the hon est conviction of a large majority of tbe voters of the United States. The financial platform adopted is pretty much the one laid down by Senator Thurman in his Mansfield speech of 1878. It will no doubt be very popular among the good people of Ohio. j It is to be noted that as decided as tbe platform is in' regard to the elec tion laws and the use of bayonets in elections, yet the wisdom of the con vention was overwhelmingly opposed ttTThe Democrats in Congress ad journing without voting supplies for the maintenance of the army. They do not propose to punish the army f o r 1 1 ay -J 01 ng. .. - - The Gieenbackers also nominated candidates aud. laid down a platform. Gen. Piatt was nominated forGover norj and Hugo Prior for Lieutenant Governor. . There is one deliverance in their platform we were pleased to see. It declares that reference to the late eivil war is revolutionary. This hits the Stalwarts 'heavy blows that will be felt. Both the -Democratic and Greenback platforms call for the abolition of the National Banks. "The leaders are now all in the field, the three parties have defined their principles, and now the great tri angular battle begins. We can but -hope that Ewing and Rice will be elected. They are both strong men before the people. The Republicans will not deny that the ticket is formidable and that the fight will be close and desperate. GOVKKNMKNT LEAKS. Senator Beck has been doing the country a real sei vice. ; In his very able speech on the Legislative Ap propriation bill he pointed out some leaks that ought to be stopped. Our readers will remember that in the campaign of 1 876 wo reierrea seve. -ral times to the very abuses men- tioned by the Kentucky benator,, ana they have continued ever since, .but it is well io reire&u uui mcmui and km we copy what he tells con cerning the leaks in the Custom House system. He shows as follows: 'Outof the one hundred and twenty eight custom houses there are thirty-six whose expenses range from $1,000 to $20, 000 over and above the receipts. There are thirteen custom houses in Ma'yie alone. In twelve of these establishments the col lections aggregate $80,000, and the em ployer, we paid $38,000.

Tbe St. Louis custom house collects nearly as much as that at New Orleans, but the expenses are only $39,582 53.

The bill before iCongfess concern I. ing the removal of causes from the State to U. S. Courts is one of very i j i! 3 great importance Th Democrats in this instance, as in, aU! others, are endeavoring to legislate jf or the good ot tne country anq lor tne protection of the citizens. Thcj Republicans,on the other hand, are doing all they can in opposing the repeal of the law. They are resorting to all sorts of obstructions ut their: opposition, lhe very large number of JJemocrats who are absent from their : scats ena ble the Republicans to succeed abstain in their plans, from voting, so rhev there! is no quo- ruu. The bill will, therefore, fail in all probability.! Conger has an nounced that uo legislation will be allowed except on appropriation bills. If this is not arbitrary to tho last possible limit then we are mistaken, It is even worse if is trtSVOiuuouaT yy f ' ' tor it makes xi.e p-noruy mB cou- trolling power, which isj contrary to reason, to experience, to tne very structure of our government. It is revolutionary in the Democrats when t.hfv follow urecedeut and law, and j t i j exercise the constitutional powers of majorities. But it is not revolution ary when the minority j successfully obstruct all legislation.; ; The Phila delphia Times very properly says that Conger's notice was a, simple notice "that lawful government is ended at Washington." Ifi, the j strength of parties were reversed, and if the "Re- bel Brigadiers" were to ; assume the revolutionary attitude of the Repub- licaus, what a cry of j ;; indignation - would ring out through the entire North, and how the "Northern heart would be fired" afresh. i The Times says that the "Republican obstruc - tionists must nowibe taught that the majority in Congress is the sovereign power of Congress, charged with the exercise of its responsible duties, and tbat th(J Xawful rights of the minority I are lQ jiBCU88 Yote and submit, with righi of appeal to the sovereign i wiji of lue naliou Tl)e Kepablicans appear to have eaten Qf the "insane root, to be smit- ten witu jaaiia.l blindness, and to be controlled by! an nnuying nosumy io the Constitution and to tile best in- terests of the country 'I'll K UBMlOCBATie , V.AVCVS. We have been reading such re portB as have come to hand of the discussions in tho:Democratic cauous. Senators Thurman and Bayard were the chief speakers.

Mr. Reagan, of Texas, was equally pointed. He is thns reported: "Afl for himself, he reiterated the state ment of Mr. Bayard that he never would vote to adjourn until the government was I providedfor, and especially the artny was proviaea lor.

Foster's nomination for Governor of Ohio by the Republicans fails to please two classes the colored peo ple of that State and the third termers generally. The colored Re publicans of Ohio are really very mucn disgruntled They opposed his nomination bitterly. The leaders generally say they will not vote for him, but we reckon they will come in before tho election.

WASHINGTON. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. SENATE. Washtsgton, June 5. The Senate, by a vote of yeas 28, nays 19, took up the bill reported yesterday by Mr. Bayard, from the Judiciary . Committee, relating to ju ries, and to repeal sections 801, 820 and 821, of Revised Statutes. Mr. Hampton, of S. C, after briefly supporting this bill, proceeded to speak upon the general political issues of the session, f : Mr. Hampton said he could not claim to speak as the leader of bis party, nor would he try to shield himself from the conse quences of his actions behind any party. If the Dolicy supported by him was r(- laUonary and treasonable, he was a revo- lutionist and traitor. But what policy is before ;Congress worthy of that charge ? Continuing, Mr. Hampton said : "By no vove or mine win me appropriation neces- sarv for the efficient maintenance nf thn Aimy ue reiuseu. u is competent lor I (innrnR4 t.n dfr.ir nnHornhut limito? aai, conditions appropriations shall be regard as immaterial.

The Constitution has provided the means by which an appeal to the country can be had, and it is for the people to deckle whether the Presidential veto has been wisely used to defeat the will of Con gress, which represents a majority iof the people."' Mr. Hampton proceeded to say that he had no intention to embarrass tbe adminis tration, and, although he considered the provisions of the bills just, be recognized tbe difficult position in which the Execu- tive found himself.
