WEDNESDAY, MA.Y 24. 1876. nation. So do Maryland Congressmen. The New York World, also, says the report of a Graphic interviewer, that August Belmont prefers Bayard, "is likely enough to be true, for, so far as we (the World) can learn, there is no sound Democrat in the country, East or West, North or South, who does not favor the nomination of Senator Bayard, unless it bo Senator Bayard himself, who has made and who is likely to make no sign whatever on the subject." If this looks like deserting Tilden, what will Sammy say when he goes on to read an entire column of strongest praise for Bayard in his leading organ? In fact, as we suggested yesterday, Bayard or Hancock is now ahead of Tilden and we believe that even Bay cepts a place in the Cabinet he will bring to it a ripe experience and an ability unsurpassed.

The country will be the gain er if he accepts, and a loser if he refuses All this may be true, but now is the wrong time to promote any man connected with the Cameron class in politics. Don may be good enough, but he is in bad company, and the people don't want him. Have you no men in Pennsylvania but of the clan Cameron Fitzhugh will have to go. The Committee on Rules reported yesterday, and can't discover that he is guilty of the charges of blackmail or arson, but find that he is too ignorant for even a Democratic office holder. The Committee rec-omends the consolidation of the Doorkeeper's office with that of Sergeant-at-Arms At tne impending national election various questions of great importance will be sUDmitted to our judgment The settlement of the Civil War, as constitutionally fixed, must be conscientiously maintained.

Our solemn and often repeatad pledge, faithfully to discharge all national obligations, must be fulfilled, not only by the payment of the principal and interest of our bonded debt when due, but also the removal, not later than the time provided by existing laws, of the cause of our redundant, irredeemable paper currency, which not only impedes the return to true posterity, but has also largely contributed to the existing demoralization. In view of the grave circumstances at present surrounding us we declare the country can not now afford to have any man elected to the Presidency whose name is not conclusive evidence of the most uncompromising determination of the American people to make this a pure Government once more. Our duty in this respect is plain and imparative. We shall support no candidate who, however, favorably jndged by his nearest friends, is not publicly kuown to possess those qualities of mind and character which the stern task of genuine reform requires, for the American people can not now afford to risk the future of the Republic in experi ments on merely supposed virtue or rumored ability be trusted on the strength of private recommendations. In one word, at present, no candidate should be held entitled to the support of patriotic citizens, of whom the question may finally be asked Is he really the man to carry through a thorough going reform of the Government Can he, with certainty, be depended upon to possess the moral courage and sturdy resolution to grapple with the abuses which have acquired the strength of established custom, and, to this; end, firmly to resist the his party friends Fellow-citizens The undersigned in addressing you are not animated by the ambition to form a new political party.

Most of us have long been, and still are, warmly attached to their party associations. It would be most gratifying to us to see, by party action, candidates put forward whose character and record answer these requirements which the present circumstances render imperative. We earn estly hope and trust it will be so. We, therefore, appeal to all citizens who find their own sentiments expressed in this ad. dress, be they inside oi outside of party lines, to organize in their respecttve dis tricts and communicate with the execu tive Committee appointed at this meet ing, so efficient, co-operation may become possible.

Let no effort be spared, in bringing the influence cf patriotic, public opinion to bear upon those who, in the customary way, are soon to nominate the paity candidates, and then, in any event, let us be ready to do what the best interests ot the republic demand Our generation has to open the second century of our national life as our fathers opened the first.

Attorney General Pierrepont, in con versation with a friend, expresses the opinion that Governor Hayes, will be the itepublican candidate tor President. Hendricks stock, which fell away after the nomination of Landers by the Inde pendents, is now quoted at rising very rapidly, in constqence of the bitter opposition developed to both Thurman and Tilden in their own States and elsewhere.

The Bristow correspondent of the Springfield Republican writes I hardly think that the Bristow movement, as such, is gaining in Massachusetts;" and now a similar report is coming from all sides, it is instructive to note the una nimity and earnestness with which the country press ot Unio repudiates tne schemes or tne Bristow clique. uincm noli Times. There is a very strong movement In the Democratic parly to do away with tbe two-thirds rule in their coming National Convention. The Richmond Enquirer is one of the most ardent advocates of the change, urging very forcibly that its only result is to Kill on the strongest canci dates and to nominate the weakest to say nothing of the bitter feeling it engenders by permitting a minority of one-third to defeat the wishes of the others. The movement is very strong under the sur.

face at Washington, also, though, as the Baltimore Sun points out, "its great ob stacle is that leading members ot the party are prevented from advocating it.for fear that it will be credited as a move in the favor of some particular candi date." In the First Presidential ballot, accord ing to the Cincinnati Commercial, Bristow "will start with from lbs to lio votes, and gain on each ballot. We do not believe Blaine can have as many, and it is certain that all others will be far behind." Tbe Chicago Tribune's calcu la tor gives Bristow 132, Blaine 121, Conkling 92, and Morton 83 of the delegates elected prior to the Jersey convention. Saturday's Utica guessing at the first ballot at Cincinnati, reckons this way Footings leave Alabama con tested, and give ttlaine oia, morion no, Bristow 107, Conkling BO, and Hayes, Hartrantt and Jewell their own states.

Chicago, May 18. The official report of the Twiichell shooting affair at Cou- shatta, has been received by General Shetidan, and gives new and interesting particulars of the assassination. The murtlerer was disguised, wore goggles and was slightly painted. He strolled down from the postoffice, leading his horse to the landing where tne snooting occurred, and as the boat approached commenced firing, killing a man named King, who was in the boat, and wounding the colored ferryman. Twitcheu ras badly wounded in both arms and in the leg.

Those who attempted to approach him from tbe shore were warned on and threatened with the rife that he used. Two women remonstrated with bim, but he said at each shot he was shooting a black alligator. He started oft on his horse but seeing the negro attempting to save Twitchell, returned, ordered him desist and being disregarded fired seyeral more shots, wounding both the negro and Twitchell again. The murderer then rode away and escaped, despite all efiorts to capture him. One of Twitchell's arms has been amputated, and the other is bad ly shattered but he may still recover.

Summit Common Pleas Record of Cases Considered.

The following business has been trans acted in the Court of Common Pleas since our last report: No. 172. John Stripe vs Lawrence Lam- berson, et al. Demurrer to petition overruled. Defendants have leave to answer and continue.

Buttertield. et al vs J. H. Wise, et assignors. Assignees or dered to accept the accounts of plaintiff and pay thereon a dividend of the same amount as nas been paid to other credit ors.

This action is brought to compel the assignees of Hanford Brothers to accept the claim of plaintiff against said firm and to pay thereon a dividend of the same amount as has been paid other creditors. It appears that the plaintiff did not file his claim verified as required by law witnin six montns alter notice by publication was given as required in sec-lion 6 of the Insolvent Act. A divident of 25 per cent, was made previous to the presentment of this claim and after the expiration of eight months after the assignment, and sufficient funds yet remain in the hands of the assignees to pay a like dividend upon the claim of the plaintiffs. it was Held by tne court tbat this sec tion of the statute is merely directory and differs from the statute in regard to executors and administrators. There is no provision in this statute that by the failure on the part of a creditor to present his claim that he shall on that account lose it.

It would be giving an improper construction of it to thus inflict such a penalty. The Probate Court, it seems, held that the assignee ought to accept the claim and pay thereon a dividend of the funds then in his hands, e. he Bhould come in on the second dividend. There is no good reason to say that he is en titled to participate in future dividends if he has not the same right to participate in past dividends. If this is a statute of limitation tor one purpose, it must be for all.

To say that the plaintiffs in this action should not have the amount of their claim, is to take it from them and pay it to their creditors. The assignees were thereupon ordered as above and the nlaintiffs ordered to pav costs. No. 3. Delia R.

If Morton is nominated they will howl "bloody shirt," "enemy of the Southern people," "revengeful hater of our race," and make the campaign so hot in the South tbat the old Whigs and Union men in the Democratic party will stay in. With Morton as a candidate, so far from winning strength from this class, it will not be pleasant tor any while Republican to advocate him. But with Bristow or Hayes, the Democratic drill sergeants can not keep the old Whigs and Union men in the party, and many of the Southern States, including Tennessee, will cast a larger Republican vote than ever before. Either of these men will prove strong in the South, but Bristow the stronger of the two. Equally significant in this connection, is an editorial admission by Holstead himself, which the Commercial would not have permitted a few days ago.

In an editorial on "Bristow Ahead," the Commer cial endorses the Chicago Tribune's con clusions to that effect, but adds, and here is the point to make a note ot But the Tribune is mistaken in presum iug that the Bristow men will be inclined to go over to Blaine, if beaten on their own candidate, and the ticket the Tribune proposes "Bristow and Blaine" is an unlikely one. We think it settled that Bristow will have the largest vote on the first ballot, and that he will be rapidly reinforced from Tenneseee, Ohio and New York, acquiring a prepon derance and momentum that will give him the nomination. If this fails, there will be a break for the favorite sons and dark horses. There will be a night to fix up matters and things, and in this event it would not surprise us if the question of precedence should arise between Hayes and Washburne. But as the case stands.

A Washington dispatch says the foreign mail yesterday brought the reply ot Jfiarl Derby to Mr. Fish's protest to the Government of Great Britain against the violation of terms of the extradition treaty. It does not yield to the position taken by Mr.

A Feel ins of In-ffnritv. New York Times Editorial.

It is unfortunate for Mr. Blaine that baseless as all the direct charges made against him have, so far, been proved to be, a vague feeling of suspicion has got into the public mind that he has had a good deal more to do with railroad specu lations ot a somewhat hazardous charac ter than accords with a perfectly unblem- ished reputation. Mr. Blaine begun his career in Congress a poor man he is now a rich one. Mr.

Blaine exercised im mense power over the fortunes of legisla tion at a time when railroads were among the most persistent suitors for Congres sional aid or reiiet. in some of the rail roads benefited by the national bounty, Mr. Blaine is believed to be a stock holder, and, putting all these things to- gemer, men wno are not at all indisposed to recognize his eminent public services, his great ability and energy, and his ob vious strength within the party, are beginning to look upon him as a somewhat unsate candidate. The best Bervice which Mr. Blaine's friends can do him is to anticipate investigation and disarm suspicion by being as frank about his business affairs as about the record of his public life.

It will not do to turn round and say that a man's private businss is no concern of the public, even if he nas made a fortune during a not very lengthy pub lie career. When such a man becomes a Presidential candidate, he must snbmit to the necessity of answering questions which, under other circumstances.might oe rightfully deemed impertinent. Settling With the Pacific Railways. Washington, May la. A bill was agreed ou to-day by the House Judiciary Committee, after a protracted discussion, to provide a sinking funi for the Pacific Railroads, by which the interest is to-be paid and the second mortgage or Govern.

In the caseof the Union Pacific it is propos ed tbat the company pay 750,000 annual ly into the United States Treasury for 10 years, and $1,000,000 thereafter to form a sinking fund for tbe purposes named The other roads are to be required to pay pro rata on their interest account and principal. This proposition is in the main acceptable, it is said, to the Pacific Roads, who are anxious for some settle ment on a permanent basis, to avoid agi tation of the question every session of Congress or litigation. Under the decision of the United States Supreme Court iney are not required to pay this interest account till the maturity of the second mortgage bonds, but a compromise is preferable, it is thought, in the face of that favorable decision.

Cincinnati Enquirer, Hay 30. The Pope's toe is beginning to cast its baleful shadow over Ohio politics. The Dayton Journal has made a discovery and throws it out in this shape 'Hon. Wm. E.

Fink, the nominee of the Ohio Democracy for Judge of the Su preme Court, is a devout and exemplary member of the Catholic Church. The people may determine what would be the result ot submitting to him a question vital to the interests of the Public Bchools."

WHOLB NO. 1973 Memorial Day this year will be the greatest occasion Akron has ever known, if the preparations long in progress produce their natural results, and of this there is not the least doubt. The oration of Gov.

Can there be the slightest question of the entire and hearty co-operation of all our citizens, or of the presence from all the surrounding country of those who are interested in duly honoring the fallen heroes of the Republic and who is not All will be welcome on that day and it is hoped that very many will be here, coming not as to a show, but as to a scene of Bolemn interest and impressiveness, that shall enforce its lessons of patriotism and heroism upon all. The Pierrepont and Tail appointments are universally approved. "What we want is peace and pleads the Enquirer to its party. What a fine bid for the "balance-of- power" vote is Don Cameron's sudden call to the Cabinet.

Pennsylvania has but 58 votes at Cin cinnati alter all, and Conkling would be in a sad plight if he should lose all the rest by gaining those. Did Schurz's Advisory Council make any suggestion that the Republican party would be better off for not accepting That is the pith of the whole matter. "For Vice President, Thomas Ewing, of Ohio," may not impossibly be printed on millions of ballots for use November 7, 1876. It may yet prove that Tom sucked that lemon to some purpose. The London Times has editorially con sidered the question of Winslow's extra dition and concludes that this country is justified in demanding his dismissal, according to England's own law, without any promises in regard to his As the attorney who is most persistent in pressing Sunday opening upon the Centennial Commission, is interested that way, it is not inaptly suggested that per- railroad influence" is at the bottom of the whole movement.

In the view of the New York Herald, "the dark horse" will win at Cincinnati and his name is Elihu says "We are willing to stake our rep utation for political intelligence on the opinion that he is the hardest candidate to beat that the Republicans could put in the field." It took the Senate scarcely as many minutes in confirming Don Cameron whom the country does not know, as it spent days in obeying the New York World's and Ben. Jiutler's command to re ject Sana, whom the world of law and letters in all the borders of civilization, knows and honors. The politicians and President makers who think it safe to underrate the strength of the Western inflationists are literally "reckoning without their host." The Enquirer crowd have the impudence and brute force on their side and will crowd the "aristocrats" and "bond holders" in-to close quarters. It transpires that the New York World has been out of the hands of Manton Marble, its founder Democratically and editor-in-chief, for over a month, and is now controlled by W. H.

What do the college faculties and theo logical doctors, who were in the Fifth Avenue Conference, think of that from a model "reformer," one of their own kind in all outward professions The English press are making the shameful use of the Geneva award by our Government a pretty good off-set to Derby's blundering in the Winslbw case. That money was got for certain individ ual claimants and should be distributed among them and would be, but for the unseemly wrangling of Congress over the matter.

A Cincinnati correspondent who attended a meeting in Philadelphia in favor of opening the Exposition on Sunday, says "the audience was a peculiar one, being largely made up of "reprsentatives of the 'young men' in Cincinnati who were to ba tempted to literature by opening the libraries on Sunday, but who have thus far showed themselves temptation-proof. Of substantial, thoughtful, proportion seemed to be small." The occasion for the Christian people of the country to express themselves upon the question of opening the Centennial Exposition on the Sabbath, has not entire. ly passed. The local movement Phila delphia to have the Commission reverse its action is making a good deal of noise, at least, and may accomplish something, the better sense; 61 the country at large makes itself felt most emphatically. As it will be necessary to nominate a Common Pleas Judge in this District to succeed Judge Boynton, it has been pro posed that the Convention meet at Medi na, Friday, June 23.

But the propriety of holding two conventions and going to Medina a second time to nomin ate a Con gressman, does not appear. The Judicial Convention in 1875 was held Jaly 27; the Congressional Convention in 1874, met August 25. There were a diversity of choice President manifested by the Prohibition ists Thursday at Cleveland. The first ballot resulted as follows: Gen. Greene Clay Smith, 28 votes; James Black, 12; John Russell, G.

Stewart, R. A. Brown, S. Merritt, Myron H.Clark, Wendell Phillips, James G. Blaine, W.

D. Dodge, Neal Dow, 1, and R. M. Foust, 1. On the second ballot Gen.

Greene Clay Smith, received 46 votes, a majority. Gideon T. Stewart was nominated for Vice President. If the London Exposition could along without pening on Sunday and it the English and American exhibitors at Paris aad Vienna, could continue to worry through, though closing their departments on Sundays, it will be hard to persuade people of the overpowering necessity for violating both the laws and customs of our land by opening the Centennial Exposition on Sundays. The American Sunday is one of the institutions of this country and foreign visitors should not be shut off irom all opportunities for enjoying it.

After appointing the usual committees, the convention adjourned till 2 o'clock. The convention reassembled at, 2:50 p. m. A question ot contest in the Second district arose, owing to the committee seating Hon. 8.

F. Gary, and much excitement and confusion resulted. While the convention was voting on the subject, Mr. Cary appeared on tbe stand and withdrew his name as a delegate. The report was then adopted.

The Committee on Permanent Organization reported Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton as Permanent President, James W. New-mon, of Sciota, Permanent Secretary.with the usual number of Vice Presidents.

The report was adopted and Mr. Pendleton conducted to the chair. Alter a brief address from the presiding officer, the report of the Committee of Resolutions was read. The committee made two reports. The reading ot the report was followed by that of the minority ot the commiteee by General Morgan, who claimed' that the report represented 19 of the 20 members of the committee.

It is as follows: Resolved, That, recognizing the duty of the Democratic party as the time honored champion of the rights of the many against the aggressions of the few to express its purposes in the pending currency conflict without reserve or equivocation, we declare that we shall urge against all opposition, come from what quarter it may, measures to effect the following objects: The immediate and unconditional repeal of the Republican Resumption law defeat all schemes for resumption which involve either the contraction of the currency, perpetuation of bank issues or increase of the interest burden of the debt; the gradual but early substitution of legal tenders for national bank notes the is sue by the General Government alone all the circulating medium, whether paper or metallic; no forced inflation, no forced contraction, but a sound currency equal to the wants of trade and industry, and to be regulated in volume and gradually equalized with gold by means of appropriate legislation, such as making it receivable for customs and inter-contro-vertible at the pleasure of the holder with a bond bearing interest not to exeeed 3 65 per cent, payable in gold, so that the volume of the currency shall not be determined by the pleasure or ca price of either Congress or the banks. A graduated income to meet at least the premium on gold needed to pay the interest on the public debt. That public policy and the sense of common justice requite that silver issued by the Government should be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public or private, and that we det mand tbe unconditional repeal of the so- called silver act, so far as the same limits the amount for which said silver coinage shall be a legal tender. That we are in favor of a tariff for revenue only, and we denounce the Republican scheme of re- sumpt.on as intended, as operating, through a large increase of the bonded debt and a sudden and enormous contraction of the currency, to double the bur dens of taxation, rob debtors of their property, paralyze productive and com. mercial industries, cast laborers out of employment, and nil the land with want and mUery, for the wicked purpose of oouDiing cne values ot money securities, and subjugating tbe wills of the people to the imperative sway of a money oligarchy.

That the Democracy of Ohio present to the Democracy of the other sovereign States of the Kepublic the name of Will iam Allen as the choice of Ohio for the Presidency. That the delegates at large to (he St. Louis Convention, and that the delegates appointed by the Congressional districts, are hereby reouested to vote in the National Convention in favor of the nomination of William Allen as President. and to use all honorable means to secure his success. The reading of the minority report was ioiioweo by considerable contusion, oev.

efal speeches were made for and against its adoption. Finally, under the previous queston, a vote was taken upon the report of the minority as a substitute for tne majority report, and it was adopted by a vote of 368 ayes to 800 nays. Much conf usion followed, and several motions were made to adjourn, but were voted down. The report was then adopted by a vote of 386 ayes to 266 nays, many delegates having left the hail.

The res olutions adopted declares that the Repub ucans ot Delaware pledge their unaltera ble devotion to the cardinal principles of the party, including the payment ot the government obligations in coin or its equivalent, and in honest administration, and tbat James G.

The Address of the Con fe rente to the Imeri- caa People.

New York. May 16. The address Is sued, to the American people by the Re formers' t'oiitical conference sets lortn substantially that there is corruption in an branches of the Government, al though the great body of the people are ard is too hard money to get a two-thirds vote in the St. Louis Convention. The truth is that the Enquirer crowd are deteri mined and vigorous and will, at the least prevent the nomination of any man who does not please them, though they will probably lack the delegates to put in a man of their own kind.

While there may be plenty of "red hot" news from Turkey, any day, the events of the past week may be summarized briefly. England has refused to enter into the plan for pacification proposed by Germany, Russia and and the Porte has refused to be guided by that plan, and the Christian nations, including Great Bri-tain, are concentrating their fleets in the Eastern Mediterranean. There is great uneasiness in Constantinople and the ladies of non-Musselman families have been advised to leave the city. Official reports are that the conservative faction came into power at the late change of Viziers, but the press generally seem to fear that the ascendancy of the ultra-Mahome-dans has been increased. There were rumors, Monday, of the Sultan's possible abdication.

At Salon ica, the murdered Consuls have been buried with great ceremonies the French and German government have demanded $250,000 indemnity for each of them; the trials of suspected assassins have been in progress, and severe punishments have been administered upon those found guilty. In all this, there is a chance for open war before long. SELF-NULLIFIED ADVICE. The Advisory Council, is the New York World's title for the conference of That journal, however, does not take the advice kindly, sugar-coated though it be with an endorsement of Tilden, which a Washington special to the Graphic declares is the work of Sammy himself and will put that schemer away ahead of all his Democratic competitors in the Presidential race. The World objects to their recommendations, because they narrow the available saviors of the country from corruption down to only two men and the Adamses, and because their manifesto "pledges the members to support the Republican party, if it nominates a good man for the Presidency." The Tribune, too, which sympathizes with the conference, takes occasion to remind C.

F. Adams, that "it is by no means true that the independent voter is reduced to a dilemma between Bristow and Tilden," and suggests this to him "The selection of William M. Evarts as the Republican standard-bearer is not an impossible contingency, and if that should happen how looiisn Mr. Adams's aeciara tion would seem These comments agree with the general drift of remark upon the Council's pro ceedings, and it is evident that a meeting which might have yielded good and needed fruit, has weakened its influence, first, by seeming to confining itself to any particular Presidential candidates as the only possible reformers second, by showing such utter lack of common po litical knowledge as to call Samuel Tilden a model reformer, a man who was hand-in-glove with Tammany, dunn all its peculations; who is now called to answer in the Federal courts by the victims of his acquisitive ability as a "railroad lawyer;" who has carried on a pretended "reform" as a trump card for the Presi dency, and has managed his public du ties in the interests of his personal am bition. The best advice from men who know no belter than to indorse such slippery fellow, must fail to command public respect or to have much influence upon popular action.

ANOTHER BLUNDER This is the poorest time in all its his tory to load the Republican party of the nation with the promotion of a Pennsyl vania politician and of all Pennsyl vania politicians, Don Cameron, the son of his father, skilled in Simon's peculiar strategy, besides all of the modern im provements in political trickery. If Pennsylvania had to be "recognized," the President could have honored himself and strengthened the party by calling into his Cabinet such a man as John Welsh, Chairman of the Centennial Finance Committee, or Dan J. Morrell, recently Congressman from the Johnstown District, or Felix R. Bru not, of Pittsburgh, a man whom Grant knows well and whose character is clear as crystal. But to put the War Depart ment of all others into the control of the son of the man, who has never got en.

tirely from under the cloud which full up on him at his enforced resignation of the War portfolio in 1862, is a blunder at the best; it is doubly a blunder, when done at the very time that the Department needs an acknowledged reformer at its head, determined to rid it of the last trace of Belknappery. Of the other nominations, we have nothing to say, but by way of approv al, except to criticise the impolicy of transferring Taft to a new Department, just as he is "getting the hang" of the War Office. The change sends a gentleman and a scholar us an to Eng- land, and gives Attorney General with back-bone to stand up law, even for his interpretation of the against a President, if need be, and in so far is good, but have men of culture, abil- ty, experience, and worth suddenly be come so scarce in this country, that all these changes had to be contrived to make a place for Simon Cameron's son, whose own State even has never trusted him with a single political place? Later A telegram just received gives the news that the Senate, which could not hear the voice of the entire Republican pre ss and people for the confirmation of Richard H. Dana, has confirmed Senator Cameron's political heir "quicker'n wink." Simon, for a man 77 years old, is a lively worker, and has made his point He has also contrived to offset the Democratic suicidal attempt at Cincinnati last week quite completely. HATES STOCK RISING.

V. has a brief, but unusually significant political letter from Nashville in Saturday's Commercial. In it he as serts again 'tit is universally acknowledged here among the Republicans (and Democrats too, for that matter) that Bristow can get a larger vote in the Southern States than any man who can be nominated at Cincinnati." He says that the Southern Democratic press encourage reports that Morton has strength among Southern Republicans, because they know the South would go solid against Morton, and adds: Of all Republican candidates there is none that the Democrats fear more than Bristow or less than Morton. Next to Bristow, the man they are afraid of is R. Hayes.

Hayes would poll a large white vote in the border Southern States much larger than any other Republican candidate, except Bristow. And for that and other reasons he is the second choice thus politely "freezing out" this gay Texan ranger. According to an Indianapolis letter to the New York Timet, the Morton men count certainly upon 146 votes on the first ballot, and are expectant of making it 204. In the matter of second choice, the State would be divided between Bris tow and Hayes, but would do little or nothing for Blaine or Conkling. It is always worth remembering that the Hoos-iers are terribly in earnest for their War Governor.

An extract given elsewhere from the New York Ttmet about Mr. Blaine, should have weight, coming from the leading Republican paper of the country. In this connection the following note from Mr. Blaine's warmest friend, the New York Tribune, among the great newspa pers is significant: Similar complaints come from Califor nia and West Virginia that the delega tions sent to Cincinnati do not accurately represent public sentiment It is claimed that a large majority of the people are in favor of Bristow. while Mr.

Blaine con trols a larger part of the delegates be cause he had at his command the conven' tion machinery. The President has suggested a new remedy for the Louisiana troubles, which is that the Executive officers of that State stay at home, mind their own affairs and not loaf around Washington, continually whining forjinterference in the affairs of the State. Charles Nordhoff telegraph to the New York Herald of the snub Grant gave Kellogg: General Grant told him, it is reported, that if he were at his post in New Or leans and discharging his duties, instead of being here asking for troops, he would be able to preserve the peace that he had abundant means and authority to main tain the laws and DUt down disorders without getting the United States author ities into complications with state attairs. We have little sympathy with any move to reduce the general price of ad mission to the Centennial Exhibition. It is made in the interest of people, who support the circuses, theaters and variety shows at half a dollar an admission and never murmur.

Why they should ask to enjoy a full day of the greatest exhibi tion the world ever had, for half the price paid for a few hours in some cheap show, is beyond our comprehension. What might be a good thing and directly in the line ef the Exposition's true use as an edu tor, would be to offer commutation rates of admission to members of institutions of learning, employees of manufactories, railroads when attending in parties of sufficient size to ake it worth while. This paragraph from the Cincinnati Gazette and the scores of other facts like it, ought to be stuck under the nose of every Fifth Avenue Conference man, who is simple enough to seek to ignore the Southern phase of the political problem, and kept there until he is compelled to acknowledge that the Nation has not yet got through with the work of protecting the rights guaranteed by it to the colored people: A dispatch from Woodville, to the Vicksburg Herald (Dem.) under date of May 16, says it is thought that 25 negroes were killed in the recent massacre. The dispatch savs the county is quiet. massacre that has distinguished many others which have occurred in the South since the war no whites killed.

Whoever of any party is interested in preserving the purity of the judiciary, must have been amazed and disgusted with the spectacle presented at Indianap olis of the attendance upon the Independ. ent Convention of an authorized agent of a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, deputed to negotiate for a Presidential nomination on a platform dealing with questions that are to come be. fore that tribunal ior final decision. The word; "demagogue" cannot be spoken or written strong enough to cover Judge Davis's conduct in this matter, and we trust that the people will appreciate the man's true character and that if, by an evil chance, he should come before them in an election.they will vote against him so unanimously that hereafter no Consti tutional amendment will be needed to warn all Supreme Judges to keep out of politics. This brief Washington special to the New York Tribune, shows how purely "bunkum" is the threat of the Democrats ic House to adjourn June 12: The resolution introduced by Mr.

Mor rison to day and referred to the Committee Oil Ways and Means, fixing the 12th of une as tne day on which the presen session ot Congress shall be finally ad journed, caused much surprise among the Republicans both in the Mouse and Senate. Should this resolution be agreed to, only three weeks would be left during wnicn tne Jtiouse would oe required to pass the It aval, Army, Indian.and Sun dry Civil Appropriation bills.disposeof the great mass ot special orders wnich have been made, close up the investigations. and finish all other miscellaneous busi ness that is likely to come up for consid eration. This would be simply impossi ble. If no other business of any kind should be allowed to intervene, the House would hardly be able to complete the ap propriation bills before the 12th of June, even if the progress made upon mem was twice as rapid as thai upon any Din tnus tar disposed oi.

The "considerable comment over Pen dleton's reappearance in Ohio politics," is not confined to Washington, and many will acknowledge the probability of this special from there to the Enquirer: Well informed politicians think that George has something more in view than mere personal vindication, and the manner in which the New York World suddenly comes to his defense is suggestive. Pendleton is opposed to Allen for Presi dent. He is not overfriendly to Thurman. and if an opportunity presents itself he win give Gov. Mendricks a hard hit in the St.

Louis Convention. It is thought here by a party whose opinion is entitled to some weight that George has not given up his political aspirations. He goes to bt. Liouis to trade Ohio influence tor a Cabinet place or a first class foreign mis sion. Pendleton is perfectly willing to represent his country at St.

James when that Democratic President is elected. The Cincinnati Star justly thinks that "there is more truth than poetry in this that the New York Herald says concerning high rate of interest paid by the Government," and we would add to it that the National success of the policy adopted by the Democratic party of Ohio at Cincinnati last week, would effectually block all efforts to refund our debt at lower interest and would thus make a direct charge, otherwise needless, upon the National Treasury of over 120,000,000 a year: One reason why we pay 6 per cent, for our money abroad is that we have fallen into a habit of universal slander. We degrade ourselves, defame our country, trine wun our credit, call upon the world to see what rascals and knaves we are. and then marvel that the world should take us at our word and charge us more for money than nations without a half of our resources. We shall strengthen our credit when we protect our self-respect.

Lamar, the Southern leader, thinks that Bayard should have the Democratic nomi.
