The dissenaion. and strife which they counted upon wero wholly absent, and there ia o gen- eral feeling among all parties that the Repub- licans of Wisconsin have laid out a campaign plan which will cause distress and anxiety in thoranks of their adversaries, H.

A new poin od in the indictment found by the Grand Jury in Washington in the Cmouzu.Boenn libel case. This last indictment avoids thoe emor in tha first, and charges & lbel ous publication in the filing, by Bueuy, of tho dispatch which was forwarded to and subsequently printed in Datroit. The news- paper Iy loft out of the question, and tho cuse will turn on the polnt whuther the tiling of o Alspateh in o telograph-ofiica constitutes the publication of a libel. B e Reporters’ English has more than onco boon commented upon ungraciously, but these geutlemen of the pencil and note-book now have an opportunity to retort upon editorial English,—ns, for instance, the following from the editorial columns of the Qincinnati Com. mercial; *The weeping WiLraan of the Wis. sabickon will mingle his dvaoping branches with the stalwart boughs of the Tall Byca- more of the Wabash in Ve stormy blasts of the Buckeye wilderness, this fall* ‘Irans- 1ated, this meana that Bry, Kenvey and Dan Yoourzxs are totake the stump this fall in Olio, Untranslated, it puts reporters’ En- gl to ghame, 'The leading produce markets were frregu. lar yosterday, "Mess pork was tame and 16@ %00 per brl lovxer, closing ot &10,25@19,80 eash, and $19.,35 for August, Lard was quiet and Sc per 1.00 ms lower, closing at $13.00 oast, and $13,10 bid for August.

THE OHIO INTRIGUE. We print n letter from Columbns, Ohio, written by a well-informed person, which professes to let light in upon the somewhat extrnordinary proceedings of the Democratic porty in Ohio. It i@ well known that old WiLuiaxe ArLey has been a hard.money Democrat all his lifo; that, like Bextoy, he wna opposed to paper money in any form, whethier national or bank paper. He has been a consistent donouncor of rag money from the beginning of his public earcor, forty years ago, down to the meeting of the recent Convention, Tho Cincinnati Ring, which is controlled by Mr. PENpLETON, the author of the plan of greenback inflation, has burned for revengo upon the Democrats of New York who refused to vote for PesprrtoN when a candidate for Vice-President in 1864, aud who refused to vote for him in convention when secking tho nomination for Prosident in 1868, This Ring has used old Mr. Aniex ns a tool; they have actunlly induced him to belicve that, if he be elected Governor of Ohio this year, he will bo & conspicrous candidnte for President in 1876, Like s child “pleased with a rattle and tickled with na straw,” the old gentleman nc. cepted the rag-money platform, and really expects to be elocted Governor and then Prosident. Our correspondent explaing how Arrey is thus used. His election on that platform i required in order to give Prxpre. ToN a showing in the Domocratic Convention, where, while ho mny not be able to nominate himself, ho can defeat the nomination of any Now Yorker and may sclect tho candidate, ‘This prospective candidata is Benator Tnoxas T. Bavanp, of Dolaware. Our correspondent declarea that tho entire PeNprrToN Ring are for Bavaup, whose nomination will defent not only all nspirants from New York and New England, but will also shelve Mr, Hexpnicxs and Mr. TrurMaN, for whom Alr, PeEnprLeTON and his friends have no special regard, - An oxtraordinary part of this business is that Mr. Bavanp is & hard-monoy man, who, since his apponrance in the Benate, has op- posed all inflation moasures, and has beon a strenuous advocate for a return to spocie pay- ments. But the intrigue shows how unpiin- cipled the Democratio leaders in, Ohio are, when they forced this greentack platform for no othor purpose than to giva Mr. Pen. DLETON An opportunity to &iave personal ro- venge on Hexpnicxs, Trunsax, TiLbex, and the othiers wlho have stood in his way in the past. For this purpose old Mr, Arrex isfirst wade to ignore his past record and then to be disgracefully discarded ; to be reduced to o more tool in the hands of Mr, Penprrron to bo used for the personal noeds of thoe lat- ter, P e — THE WISCONBIN CONVENTION, Tho detailed proceadings of the Republican Couvention, which met at Madison, Wis,, on Wodnesday last, have the ring of the true metal about them, and recall tha spirit of the War days, in the enthusiasm, good fecling, confldence, unanimity, and even exultation, with which the delogates nddressed them. #elves to their work. ‘The Republican party in Wisconsin hnd suffered from the samo causos which had paralyzed it elsewhore and oxposed it to defest. Washington corrup- tions, jobberies, and Credit Mobillers had wenkened it, Intornnl dissensions, misn. domtandings, and jealousies had weighed it down mearly to the verge of destruction. The Senatorial conflict was welcomed by its coemies a8 A wedge which would di- vido the party so that they could rush in and easily overwhelm it. Dut wise counscls prevailed, and by o judicious compromise the Republicans of Wisconsin settled upon a man who has given gueral satisfaction and@ has occasioned no wenk spot in their ranks, Tho proceedings of this Convention now show that the rouks buwve closed up firmly since that conflict, and present s strong and united front to their encmies, Therois a sure prophecy of vic- tory in the enthusiasm and unanimity of the Convention, as woll as a suro proof tliat the party has purified iteelf from corruption and {hrown off the load which was weighing it down, The ticket nominated by it iaa re. m arkably atrong one, and waa selected with wiauaual discrimination aud regard to char. acter and usefulness, It fs a tickot which will appeal with equal force to na. tives aud to foreigners, and to every clnss of honest people in the Btate, farmers, wrtisong, comumercial men, and manufac- turers, It will arouse general enthusiawn, and will present an array of candidates in vihose olection the people of Wisconsin will tako o personal interest, 'The Hon, Hamnr. #ox Lubinatown, of Milwaukee, who heads the ticket, is one of the most popular men in Lhe Stato, a3 was shown by the fact that ho wag nominated by acclamation, and that his nomination aroused a display of enthusiasm which has not usuilly been characteristic of Republican Conventions of late. Mr, Lup- woroN long has been and fa now actively idontiied with tho interests of Wisconsin. As a publioman and a private citizen, aa & politiclan and » business man, he stands without reprosch or blombh, and fu his varlous private and publio’ trusts bo hes w0 commonded lhinmdt to the poople of his Stats that Lo will not only command the united Republican vote, but will lso make a damaging breach iu the Democratio runks by drawing votes from that party, especlally in Milwaukee, whore his sdininistration as Mayor was lumhlcntly/ popular and mucoeasful. The nomination of I, T. Eaton for Lieutonant. Governor will also ndd great strength to the ticket. Mr, Extoy is n working farmer who has nchieved gront success {n hLis voeation, and tho pithy little speech of aceeptance mads by him shows hitn to bo n practical, forcible, sengiblo man, who will do credit to his position, 1lis nomination will appoal very strongly to the farmers of Wisconsin, The other candidates upon tho ticket, romo of whom were nominated by ncclamation, are strong men with oxcellent reoords, who will command, as they deserve, not only tho re- apect of tho people of Wisconsin, but their determined and united lnbor to elect them, T'he plntform is in keeping with the other results of the Convention, Itisn brief but forcible prosentation of sound Republican principlos,—the nnion of the States; honest and efficient administration of public aflairs; opposition to logislation in the interests of any creed; no division of the school fund for sectnrinn purposes; tho disapproval of Presidontial third terms; the prompt col- lection of revenue; arbitration in the adjust- ment of {ntornational difficuttion; tho prohi. bition of tho monopolies of public corpora- tions; the resumption of spocio payments and & currency convertible into coin; revis- ion of patent laws; the encourage. ment of immigration ; and a tariff for rovenuo. Tho third plank, *that ws regard labor as entitled in a high degreo to the protection of the Government in all its rights,"” affirms a great principle, but leaves the question of its application some- what open. There is no better way of pro- tocting Inbor than by unloading it of all that weigha it down, letting the laborer buy where he can buy the chenpest or sell whero lie can sell to the best ndvantage. Both ticket and platform will commond themselves to the great majority of the people of Wisconsin. They will arouse enthusiosm all over tho State, and put the Republican party in the field without & dissension in ita ranks, united, onthusiastic, and determined upon victory. JUDGE FARWELL'S DECISION. The decision of Jndge FarwEkLL yesterday, dissolving the injunction in the cnso of the Police Commissioners aod the Mayor and Common Council, was a straightforward act, upon which but few words were said. The Judge, assuming for the occasion that the charter of 1872 had been adopted by the peoplo of Chicngo, and was therefore in forca in tho city, reached the conclusion that it was the intention of the Legislature to cut loose from all specinl legislation, and give to ench city a Government in which the Mayor and Common Council, and not the Legisla- ture of Iilinois, should have exclusive con. trol. Ho therefore considered that the gen- eral charter of 1873 of itself repealed all special octs of the Legislature inconsistent with the exclusivo government of the city by the Mayor and Common Council. This is, substantially, the ground upon which Judge FanweLy, dixsolved tho injunetion, An appeal was taken to tho Supremo Conrt. Judge Fanweiy declining to continue the in- junction ponding the appeal, application will be made to some Justico of the Supreme Court to grant an injunction for that pur- pose. This decision in no wise affeots tho othor question, which is, waa the charter of 1872 adopted by the poople at the so-called eloction {n April last? Whilo there is little doubt that the Courts will oventually declare that the charter of 1872 waa nover ndopted by the people of this city, we have the satisfuction—which will, we know, bo general—that if that chartor has been adopted the Police Board has boen abolished, and that n great political and pub- lic nulsauco has beon abated. Ono of the groat advantages of tho charter of 1875 was that it abolished the Police Board in direct torms. It is, we ropent, & mattar for rejole. ing that whichever charter shall become the Iaw of the city the Polios Board will pass out of oxistonoe. REBUMING SPEOIE PAYMENTS, Under the Funding nct of Congress of July 14, 1870, the Beorctary of tho Treasury was nuthorized to sell or exchango any of tho & per cont bonds or 4§ por cent bonds in ro- demption of ¢ per cents, But he was pro- hibited from increasing the bonded dobt. Secretary BouTwery, however, in his dealings with the Syndieato, issued to them the new © por conts in exchange for G per cents to be delivered to him three months later; and this indiroct but nnquestionable incroase of the bonded debt ho excused on tha plea that he could not do otherwiso. Congress subse- quently whitewnshed or condoned the illegal- ity. "By the Specie-Payment act of Jan. 14, 1875, it is provided ¢ And to enublo the Becrotary of the Treasury to pro- pare and provide for thy redemption in this act wu- thiorized aud requlred, be {s anthorized to uve any sur- Dlus teveuues from time 10 tme lu W Treasury not othorwise appropristed, and Lo {saue, sell, and dispose, 8t 10t Joas than par in coin, either of tha descriptions of bouds of tho Uulted Ktates dvscribod in the act of Cougress approved July 14, K10, o , o And all provisions of law {uconsiutent withs the provisions of thla act aro Leroby repealed, Under this act Secretary Bnistow considers tho restriction of the act of 1870 against incroasing the bonded dobt even temporarily ag repenlod, and he has therofore sold from twalve to fifteen millions of & per cent bondxs for bullion or coin at par. The Trensury now holds between ten and eloven millions of dollars in silver bullion and coin. With this Lo proposes to exooute that part of the lawof 1875 which authorizea and requires that he shall ** as rapldly as practicable cause to be ocolued nt the mints of the Uniled Statea sil. ver colus of standard value, and to fssue them in redemption of an equal number and mmount of fractional currency,” or ot his dis- erotion to isaue such coins through the public ofices, and to redoom an equal amounut of fractional currency. It will be seen that the Secretary in no wonse {ncreases the publicdelt ; he exchanges b per cent bonds for bullion which ho coius, and takea up the abominable fractional currency. Under this law the Secretary has to some oxtent a control of the gold market, 'The announcement of his policy caused a decline in gold of 1} por cent. Bo long as ho can oxchange his 5 per cent bonds for coiu at par, ke can prevent any combina- tion in the gold market againsl the Treasury Deportment. A short experience of this polioy will have the effect of reducing the prewium on gold. The ability of the Secretary to obtaln whatover gold Le needs at par settles tho question of his ability to maintain the redemption of the currency, and wo will probably have the greenbacks at par and equivalent to coln before tho Ohio Democrats get into power to prevent it. There are persons who deny the possibility of specle payments, becauso they say the mo-. mout greenbacks are made redesmable every- body will rush in with the notes and get the gold and well {t! DBut if the gresnbacks are redeemable in ooin, thers will be no premium on gold in fack, for almoat all general pur. pores, the enrrency will bo preferred. It is not actual redemption that is needed to make the ocurronoy equivalent to coin, but tho kuowledge that the ourrency can bo convert. ed into coin at tho plensure of the holdor. Tho Secrotary of the Troasury is rapldly do- veloping the fact that he can got all tho silvor ho needs at par to redeom the fractional enr- roucy ; and what s possiblo in the ono case enn readily bo made possible in tho other long Lofore 1870, tho date fixed for resump- tion. The policy of the Soaretary of tho ‘Tronsury ia not only tho one nuthorized and reguired by law, but it is tho ono suggosted by wisdom and the protection of tho publio credit. It will ho, of courso, strenuously op- posed by the Gold Room and by the advo. cates of clieap, irredeemable paper, but it will nevertlicless bo succossful and beneficial, THE NEW MOTOR. Tho attack of the Scientiflo American up- on the Kerny motor las beon answered. The nttorney of the Keeny Company has writton o long letter, which we publish elso- where in this issuo, with various corrobora. tive documonts, Oue of the lattor is a state. ment by Kreur himaelf, who says that with water and air alono he has ** produced in an inappreciable period of time, by a simple manipulation of the machine, a vaporia sub- stanco . . baving an elastic onergy of 10,000 pounds to the square inch.” Ha further says that hio has been **unaided by any and overy chemical compound, beat, elactricity, or gal- vanio action,” 1In this ho is corroborated by G. I, Grocrer, the maker of the * genora. tor,” who testifies that ‘‘there are in said machine no secrot chnmbers or recosses in which chemicals or compressed air could be contained.” These statements, if true, wonld dispose of the theory advanced by the Scientific A merican, that some hiddon gas or secret chemical action produced the results shown, Butis the testimony of two doaply- wntorested parties to bo taken ns true? Mr. Grocken goes on to say: *‘In said npparatns there aro no pistons or moving parts other thnn valves.” This is & suspicious sontence, for the description would apply to the com. mon firg-extinguishers, in which the gnsis prodnced *by o simple manipulation of the machine which opoens certain valves and closes others, On the whole, the Latch of letters which we pnblish does not form a sat- infnctory nnswor to the Scientific American's attack. Tho ‘altorney, Mr. CoLtier, says, to be sure, that no stock in the Motor Company is for snlo, but this is a vory minor point. It is of more importance to kuow whether the holders of tho stock have been sold. Mr. Corurer demies that tho engine run by the motor was a *dollar toy,” and enys it coat $250, But he tacitly confesses that ils dimensions wore as ho firat gave them, ro that the machine was a more toy, no matter how much it cost. Tho con- nooting pipe, through which the *‘new pow- or " works, is one-tenth of an inch boro ! It is o noticenble fact that the time for publicly proving the genuinencss of the grent discov- ory has been again postponed. Of course, it would be folly to absolntely deny tho possibility that a valuablo discovory hos beon mnde, The Scientific American porhaps went too far. All the foroes of na. tare have not yot beon discoverod, exploined, or complotely analyzed by man, and it may bo that a now mode of producing forco has beon found, At preeont, however, a jury dociding upon Mr. Keeny's * claims would have to bring in the Beotch verdict of ** Not proven.” The lotter of Mr. Honmaor L. Arvorp to Tue Trinuxe, which is published this morningwith the others, states Rome vory cogont arguments on the other side of the question, When Kezry has harnessed hia cold stenm to o trainof cars, and has drawn thom a hundroed miles, he will have no lack of believors, Nature docs a good deal with the cold vapor which the son yields up to the air, but this vapor ia gonerated by heat, the rays of the sun, while the Philadelphia m echanio protends to disponse with this essential ele- ment, nnd convert water into cold steam or vapor by mochanical manipulation, instonta- neously. But seoing {4 bolleving, and we profer to wait until he shows us o the modus aperandi. ** DEMOORATIC KEPU]!LIGLBB" IN MIN. NEBOTA. A new child bas besn born in Minnesota of doubiful sex. It is ucither Democratic nor Ropublican, but it claims to be both. It is certainly not a Republican Demoorat, but is moro likely to be a Democratio Republican, It has boon so namoed by its progenitors, theroby muking the substance Republicon uud reducing tho Democrats to tho poor sor- vicoof an adjective, We take this fledgling to be the product of about nine parts Demo- erat aud one-part Republiean. The Re- publican party in Minnesota boing too strong for its own good, it has apparently de- tailed o detachment to take hold of the Dem- ocrats and drill thom futo better principles and moro perfect discipline. The idea was not a bad one. We kuow of no political or- genization on earth that is go much in need of mixsionary atteution as the old Bourbon Domocratie party, and if the Republicana of Minnesotn can advance the Democrats of their State toa position at all in keeping with the spirit of the age, it will be the vory bost thing that could happen for the com- wunity, The influence of the Republican element which hna been infused into the Minnesota Democrats does not seem to have been ex. erted in vain, T'o begin with, the Iemocrats have been brought up to tho acknowledg- ment of tho Fourteonth, Fifteenth, and Six. teenth Constitutional Amondments, and to the important sdiission that human slavery oand tho struggles that grew out of that sys- tom aro dend and gone forever, This in further than we have ever known the Miu- nesota Democrats to go, and we can only at. tribute the progress to the prosence of the Ropublicans among them, Thoy have been advanced now to where the Republicans were some sight or ten years ago. This is dolng very well; and, al the same rate, the Democrats will catch up some time in the next century, The Republican element in Minnesota also Raved the Democrats of that State the disgrace of committing themselves to shinplasfers and repudiation, like their friends in Ohlo, who did not enjoy the ad. vantage of Republican advice and as socistion in tho party, They favor ‘‘a roturn to gold and silver es a basis of the currency of the country, with preparatory and effective mensurea to sucure tho resumption of specls payments.” 1t is plossant to see the pig-headed Bourbons of the older Btates thus rebuked by the pioncers of youthful Minnesota, with the help andundor tho tuition of the Republicans, The dedaration fn favor of & revenue tariff ia sounddoctrine, aince it is an sbandonment of the impracticable extreme of Fres Trade; which alons was known to Demoorats as au opposition tothe other extreme of Protection, Mloat of the olher planks in ths Democratio. Republiean platform of Minnesota show the influenco of the llepnblican element na wo have traced it. The only notabla oxcoption ia n disposition to stand by the old notion of Btate Sovoreiguty, saying that the ** groat bulk " of tho rights of the people must find their pafoguard in the States. There is just onough of Bourbonism in this to show low great a work the Republicans in Minnesota have nchioved is so far modernizing the Domocrats of that Btate. The “great bulk"—that is the most vital and wuniversal—rights of the peopla are protected by tho National Government, of which tho Constitutionst Amendments that the Minnesota Democrats now accept aron somple. In the langungo of the Constitution, it is only tho residue that is turned over to tho States, Of courso there {a now no important issue betwoen the Republicans of Mlinucsota and the Democrats of that Btata on principles and mensures, sinco the latter have accopted tho cssentials of tho Repnbliean party, This simplifies matters in Minnosotn, and leaves tho people free to chiooso the bastmnen offered for their sufrnges, The mass of the people, howover, will bo apt to apply tho good old Methodist rule of probation to the new con. verts to Iepublican principles, and not intrust them with important offices until they have shown for a year or two that their chango of lieart is real and permanent, and not simulated or spnsmodic. The Repub- licans of Minnesota have dono an admirablo proselyting work, and wae regret that the Democrats in most of the other Btatesare too perverse in their traditional prejudices to be amenable to modera influences. THE WORLD MOVES, Next to tho astounding admission by the Democrats of Minnesota that the Constitu. tional Amendments are now in force and can- not bo sat aside, wo think thoe grentest ovi- denco of recent progress is to be found in the Memphis celobration of the Fourth of July. The whito citizens took no steps townrd a formal celebration of the day, so the colored citizens took the matter in hand. They have nn associntion callod the Independent Order of Pole-Boarers, nnder whose auspices the day was celobrated. But tho colored people wero less solfish and oxclusive than the whites were before tho mnegroes could take any part in the obsorvance of Independence Day, The Independent Ordor of Pole-Bear- crs invited the whites to join them, and the celebration nequired the charncter of a peace. gnthering of whites and blacks, Thero was considerable curiosity to ascertain how thin novel and somowhat dangerons experiment -would pnse off ; but, fortunately, it had the happlest results, ond its success aptly illus- trates the now ers in Southern society and politics, It doos not appear that there was any very large numbor of white ladles and gontlomen who rushed to the fair-grounds to mingle with the colored brethron and sisters, bat roveral of the most prowinent men of Memphis wero prosent, and took an setive part in the exercises. Addresses wero delivered by Gen. Fornrst and Gou.

Gen. Piurovw's address, whioh was much moro alaborate, wns of the same tenor. e ndvocated any measure caloulated to promoto the harimony and well-being of the two races living together in the samo country; and uttored the following sentiment, which will rovolutionizo tho affairs of the Bouth when it sball have become the goneral sentiment of the peoplo: The sevoral smendmenta to Lhe Tederal Conatitution, #lnce slopted, placed your freedom aud your civil aud political rights under tha protovtion of that instrue ment and of the Fedural Governmont.

The editor of the Vicksburg Herald s in- consed &t the remark of & New York journal that four of the editors of the Herald had been killed in as many months, and claims that the Sentine! is the guilty party, which Laod five of it editors killed and then died itself, Tho Jlerald states that ** Dr. Janes Hagax, the first on the list, was killedin & atreet encounter by the late Gen.

But, according to his own confossion, the editor of the 2erald oxchanged shots many yeors ago with Dr. Hagax, the first named of the above viotims, and recelved a bullet inbis body from the Doctor's woapon, and subse- quontly bad an affair of homor with Col {3220 M, Pantsinos, thon editor of the Wi, aud seud the Wiy man oft with & broken leg or somothing.
