Muenme ul Dearbaorn, Fn: Tiip Van Winkio.” P ] The fast train arrived Bafely at San Fran- cisco at 9:25 yesterday morning, having made the trip from Now York in eighty- three hours and thirty-four minutes. Speaker Kenn's oxpected explanation of the appointment of GreeN is still deferred— on account of ill-health, it is urged, though ho is well enough to appear each morning in the House, ond for a short time occupy the Spenker's chair, His silenco is beginning to excito anxiely among the Democrats, who very proporly regard it as much more impor- tand that Alr, Kenr should give an explicit oxplanation and denial than that Hamxey should be proven a rake and a man of disso- lute practicer Mr, Moopy preached in his new church yesterday morning to ns many peoplo as the walls would contain. 'Tho sermon was ono of his characteristic sort—eccentric, forci- ble, ond interesting. Mr. Moopy belioves wo have preacliers cnough in Chicage, and that what we want is more praying people. Ho has great faith in prayer, and would ox. pect to see tho angel Gannies, make a failure as a preacher unlesa ho had the holp of good praying band. * Bex Hiuy disowns the version of his cele- brated horangue on the amnesty question which has been printed in pamphlet form by the National Republican Committee for cir- culation 8s s campaign document, He claims that it is garbled and distorted, and is onxious to have it believed that ho never snid what is imputed to him. Unfortunntely for tho Georgin Confederate, the pamph. lot in question contains a literal and exsct transcription of what ho said on that occasion, and the only garbling or elimination that has boen done was done by himself when, perceiving tho damaging effect npon the Democratic party of his traitrous distribe, he revised and remodeled his speech for the Congressional Record, omitting the objectionable langnage, and in- sorting matter never spoken by him. The campaign dooument is doubly effectivo be- causa of its entiro nccuracy and truthfulness. A special dispatch from London to the New York Herald convoys news of a dacided- Iy sonsational character, It isto tho effoct that England has taken vigorous and decisive mensures toward the exercise of a controlling power in the Eastorn complication, having sent Admiral Dnuardonp with instructions to provent tho forcing of the Dardanclles, and that unfinished iron.clads are boing com- pleted in hot hasts, and rogiments are under orders to be in rendiness to start at a mo- ment's notice. ‘The same doubtfal authority states that the Turkish insurgents have formed a plan which contemplates the re- fusal of eithor Princo Cuanres of Roumania or the Prince Miran of Servin as their Bov- ereign, but which looks to the invitation of the Duke of Edinburg to become their Em- peror, expecting, through Vicronia’s second son and his wife, tho Princess Arnexan. DROWNA, to secure the powerful allinnce of England and Russis in their interest, The cable bringa the intelligonco that An- pur-Az1z Koawn, the dothroned Bultan of Tuarkoy, has ended his wretched life by his own hand, It is officially announced that tho ox-Sultan locked himself up in his pri. vate apartment, opened the voins of his arms with a pair of scissors, and peacofully and painlessly bled to donth, It is added, paren- thetically, that Appur-Aziz was subjoct to mental derangement, and tho customary show of grief aud regret is made over tho tragic ovent. Mumap Ervenpr will probably not pine away to any alarming extent on account of the suicide, which happened so con- veniently for his penco and comfort, and solvod & rathor unpleasant problem in a aim. plo and oasy way. Tho now Sultan may cou- gratulate himself upon the fortunate circumn. stanco which left that pair of scissors within reach of the royal prisoncr, who in taking Lis own life could not tnke anything with which his successor would more willingly part withal, ‘Wa ropublish this morning the call, sigged by a large number of prominont citizons, for o grand mnss moeting at McOormick Hall this evening, in furtherance of the Bustow movement in Ohioago. The objects and pur- poses of the Bnwrow Club, under whose auspices the meeting is called, are such as should command tho earncst and enthusias- tio support of every true Republican in thia city who desires that the Nutional Con. ventlon at Olucinnati shall put in nomination the man whom above all othors the ring politicians, the whisky.thieves, and the Democrats are most anxious should not be nominated, and with whom for its standard- bearer the Republican party would at the outset be assured of success almost beyond a doubt, If Br, Bristow is nominated at Cin- cinnati it will be tho direct result of such expressions of public gentiment as that which will bo given forth to-night,and the meating at McOormick Hall should and we beliove will be one of the largest and most re- spectable political gatberings ever held in Chicago, The Chicago produce markets wero steadior Batorday, with less doing, except in wheat and corn, Mess pork declined 150 per brl, closing ut $17.77) for June and $17.95 for July.

The Philndelphia 7'imes makes tho ap- pointment of ArexaNpER P, TurToN to the Colloctorship of the Port of Philadelphia the ocension to assnil Mr. Bristow most un- warrantably, The Philadelphia paper, re- forring to tho presont incumbent ss an ex- cellent and honest officer, says : He wan requested to retlte, not because one more worthy and better fitted awalted his place, but be- cause one who had served political fnterests at the cost of public Justice demanded his hire, and the Collectorship was hls price, * Thus Mr. Seru L CowLy goes out—thus Mr, Arexasvrn P, TurroN comes in, and the consfderation for the hetrayal of juatice In the trial of Bancock is dellvered out of hand by Prealdent Graxt, and will be approved by a superscrviceable Senate. It §s duc to the truth to sny that it is the act of President Gnaxt himself, for be has confessed his obligation and de- clared his purpose to pay. It further says : Of ali the many questionsble and cven dls- graceful appolntments made by the present Administration, that of Mr. Turrox s the deepest stain upon tho public sorvice, and it {s the most Lldeous of the many wounds the President has made upon hls own personal and ofticial repu- tation. 1fe won mensurably excused for his toler- anco of Bancock after the betrayal of his high and dellcate trust was no longer doubtful. The crimi. nal had been the companion-In-nrms of the Presi- dent, and a soldier who commanded the homage of the country. These facts plead strongly in ex- tenuation of the President's dovotion to him even in his dishonor; but to promote the procurers of Judicin) proatitution to the cholcest gifts of the President, Is to mock cvery honest insplration of the people and to declare bis fnsensibility to public shame, Iaving thus fitly described the sppoint- ment, it thon asks ** Whore was Brisrow?” and declares that the Sceretary of tho Treas- ury should have interposed his devotion to an honest administration of the Trensury “pgainst the President’s open degradation of thomost responsible trust;” and failing to lavo resisted the appointment of Turron, denounces Brisrow *‘as faithloss or unequal to tho great duties of his position.” The answer to all this is, that tho Constitution of the United States vests tho sppointing power, in offices of the rank of Collector of Customns, exclusively in the hands of the Prosident. The Secrotary of the Trensury bas no more aunthority to object to tha ap- poiutment of a Collector of Customs than ho Lias to the appointment of & Chaplain in tho navy. If his advice bo asked he may give it, but itis not likely thatin this case he was givon tho opportunity of stating the charac- ter of the person selected. The Secretary af thoe Treasury is nat responsible for Executive appointments; he can no more opposo thom than he candictate. His duty was in con- fining himsolf within the sphero of his own jurisdiction. The faithful officer is he who performs his own duties, and does not usurp tho nuthority of othors. Had Ar. Bristow told tho President, unasked, that TourToN was a disgrace to the public service, the President, who was already fully aware of the fact, would havo been justified in telling Mr. Bristow he wns guilty of an importi- nent interferenco in matters of which ho had no jurisdiction. Tho Becrotary very prop- erly did nothing of the kind. The appoint- ment wag an Exccutive one. The Sccretary might well have abstained for onother rea- son. Tho voto of Pennsylvaniain the Cin- cinnati Convention has been purchased by Mr, CoxgLING from Brxon Caxenon,andthere ison unwritten law of tho Scnate that ovon tho President dare not refuse to appoint any porson named by a Senator of the Adminis- tration party from the State whero the office is to be filled. CovkLna and Camenox Laving mado their contract by which o Cabi- net office was oxchanged for twenty-nino votes in the nominating convention, the President was permitted to roward Tvrron, the machine members of the Sonato agroeing to it in the hope that BrisTow would accept it na a porsonal insult. BECRETARY BRISTOW’S REPUBLICANISM. Mr. ‘I'noxas Ricamoxnp writes to Tue Cnt- ©0A00 TRisuNE to oxpross his fears that Mr, Bmsrow, if clacted President by the Repub- lican party, may prove an apostato liko Ax. onew JounsoN, aud says in the courso of his communication : Asalife-long Nenublican I was ex ceedingly dls- tressed when the Republican Conventlon nom- inated Axpnew Jounany, Vico-Presldent with Lixcorn, 1 antlcipated not just his actlon in char- acter, but all of the infidellty to party, to principle, and the North, that he wanifested at lost, 1ifa noble and vigorous course in the hieat of rebellfon infavorof tho Unlon shone out in that darkness as bright, or brighter, than Dristow's docs now, and yet you wlll remembder his damaging course when In power as President. Mr. Bitistow can bring no etter record of loyal and noble action be- foro the publlc than Axvuew Juunsox did, of of fdelity to Republicanlsm ond thu country than Joussox dld, Buistow is a vigorous, positive, and effclent man, firsterato for his present place, but 80 tnuch the worse 1f ho becomes & JnuNso Preaident, 1 don't know but heaven §s a-golng to allow un to bring another curse upon ourdvlves for vur folly, 1 dare nut teust any man ot the head of this nation who la made up {n the winvery atmosphero of the Bouth, Mr, Rionmonp is the representative of a class of timorous Ropublicans, a class of doubting Tuoaases, and in answering him we shall anewer thom also. Ho is mistaken in two vital points. First, as to AxpnEw JouneoN, Mr., JounsoN never was & Repub- lican and never professed to bo ono. e did not accopt the nomination of Vice-Prosident as o Republican. ITe always called himsolf and was always known as a Union Domocrat. There is nothing on record, eithor in what ho Lins written or spoken, which contains a formal declaration of beliof in Republican principles. 1o was from the outsot, and,| alwaysy, a dyed.in-the-wool pro-slavery Dem- ocrat, Ho nover professed to bo even nn anti-elavery man. 1o was born and raised among the poor white trash, and his highest ambition way to clovate himself into the aristocratio clasa of slaveholders, Ho worked with his ‘“‘goose" for yoars to ranch this elevation, and when he had accumulated money enough to buy a foew negroes his highest earthly ambition was satisfled, Of Anpsew Jounson's Unionism and devotion to the country there is no doubt, but he nover was devotod to the Republican party, because he nover was a membor of it. Pro-slavery Dem. ocrats aro not usually devoted to the Repab- lican party,as Ar. Ricumonp well knows, ‘When he was nominated for the Vico-Presi- dency, na ons of the few Bouthern Unionists, it was nover supposed that he would bo President. No ona drenmed that Mr. Lix- cotn would be nasassinated, except the wrotch who committed the infamous crime. As President of the Sonate, Jonxson could do 10 harm, and as such ho waa selected, Sccond, Gen, Bristow caunot bo com- pared with Mr, Jomssox in any party re- spect. Gon, BnisTow was born and raised in an nbolition family, and was an anti- slavery man from the ontsot. Ifis father, and his grandfather, and his whole family, from revolutionary times down, had been abolitionists, is Republicanism was not circumscribed by Stnte lines, IHis father, who was an emancipationist, had belonged (o tho anti-slavery wing of the Whig party, and ho himself sympathized with the Ropub- licnn party from its very inception, and joined it in Koutucky, as soon s an prgani- zation was effected there. o has remnined steadfastly with tho Republican party from that timo to this, unshaken in his principles nnd maintaining thoso principles under difil- culties and dangera no other Republican can- didato has beon called upon to undergo. When the War broke out, he lost no time in declaring his hostility to the secession move- ment, and ho showed his faith practically,as no other eandidate yot mentioned hns done, by recruiting a regiment nnd fighting for the Union in the bloody contests at Fort Heury, Fort Donolson, and Pittsburg Landing. When his regimont had beon decimated in battlo, o reeruited still another, and fought with it till the term of enlistmént expired. Ho then served in the Kontucky Sonate, to which he had been elected, ns n Union Republican. He had no disguise about his politics. Ho was a Radical and proclaimed it. ‘When the Emancipation Proclamation was issued ho rejoiced at it, accepted it, nnd up- held it. As a mombor of the Kontucky Senate, he voted for all the constitutional amendments touching reconstruction, oppos- ed Axpnew Jomnsoy's policy, and denounced him when ho apostatized. Wo quoto from ono of his speeches in Louisvilla: Neither these constitutional provisions,[nor any statate passed in pursuance of them, oppresses or hurms any buman belng. The ponaltics of the clvil-rights and Ku-Klux acts aro almed rolely at the lawless and violent. No peaceful eltizen or Iaw-ablding community has apprehension of injury or oppression from them. A Government which cannot protect its humblest citizen from outrage and injury is unworthy the name, and ought not to command the support of & free pcople. But *‘the wicked flee when no man pursucth: and when you hear theso statutes denounced by Demacratic wpenkers, you may bo sure that elther they or thelr friends have committed, orare Ikely to commit, the crimes for which the punishment §s provided. We now commend the following oxtract from snothor of his speeches to Mr, Ricu- soxp, and to all other Republicans who doubt Mr, Bristow's Republiconism, and fear that ns President he would *‘John. sonize " : No man in this country had more of my lovo, re- spect, and vencration thau Mr., LincoLs. If we must have 3Ir. Jouxsox's name In the resolution, fet ue have 3r. Lincoux's, tov. If, usIunder- stand Mr. Jounsoy, bie Iy carrylng ont the polley of Mr. LiNcoLy, I am for Mr., Jouxson. Withthls express underatanding, I Indorse Mr, Jonnsox, But 1 will not ludorse hlm In the language of cvery rebel meeting fn Kentucky, nor Inthe way of those who, while they indorse hitin, reassert the funda- mental and orlginating principles of the Rebelllon —the miscrable, shominable, and fnfamous resolu- tlons of ‘“ninety-elght." [Meaning State Suv- ereignty doctrine. ] No rensonablo man has o right to question Mr. Busrow's Republieanism or his fidelity to Republican principles. Ho has been through the fire which has tested his devo- tion and attachment to them. No other can- didate has been so soverely testod. If ho is doubtful, who is true? If we cannot trust Gon. Briatow, we cannot trust any one. If thero are Republicans who opposo Gen, Bnstow, let thom place their opposition on somo other ground than his Republican soundness, To cnst n doubt or slur on his Ropublicaniem is a slander 89 mean as it is cruel. CONFEDERATE AND DOUGHFACE VENOM. Undor a strict party vote, 120 to 82, the Democrats and Confederates in the Houso have passed Bavxmva's army bill, without amendment, which abolishes the four colored regiments in tho regular army of tho United States. This action of the Democrats and Confedorates, growing out of their old pro-slavery prejudices, is 88 infamous as it is unjust. It is part and parcel of their old Copporhendism and opposi- tion to the principles whick gave the black tan bis freedom. It is part and parcel of that party's aversion to the equal rights of tho colored race. By what right of Iaw or equity does this Northorn Democratic faction, aided and oncouraged by the ex-Con- fedorate party, against which tho black man fought, rofuse to allow him to serve the Gov- ernmont as & soldier? Why should ho not sorve? 'This is not exolusively o whito man's Govornment, but o people’s Governmont. It ia not a Government solely for mon who have white sking, but for all men, whether thoy have white skins, black skins, red akins, yecllow skins, or brown sking, There are 5,000,000 of colored poopla in the United States—one-eighth of the whole population, They are citizons and voters by constitutional law, Thero is no legal dis. tinction of right in the Constitation appli- cnble to them, Thoy are on the sama foot- ing as white men, before the law. By what provision in the Constitution then, by what provigion of law or vquity, do the Con- gressional Copperhends and Confederates stop forward at this timo and say that the colored mon shall not shoulder a musket, gorrison forts, fight Indians, and peform military duty? By what right do thoy pass bill that soldiors ehall bo exclusively white? Suppose that a foreign war should break out, with tho Democratio party in powog,—are wo to understandthat that party would notallow colored mon to defond their country and to assist in beating off the enemy? DBy what provision of the Constitution would thoy undortaka to make so absurd a decision ? Tho duty of n soldier is an arducus one, Tho fatigues, hardships, and privationaof war or service on tho Plains sguinst tho savages ara not enjoynblo, nor iu it particularly agreo. able to stand up and bo shot at, but every wan, black or white, nevortholess, it he be 80 disposed, bas the right to Lear arme, and it is his duty to sorve his country. There is no plea that tho black man is unable to per- form military service, or that ho is lacking in physical strength or courage. For servico in the southern latitudes and in malarial re. gions, he {5 o better soldier than tho white mun. No other nation in the world having black citizens in its population hesitates to | employ black soldiers in its sorvice. France uses thom in Africa. England uscs thenf in Bouth Africa, Most of her West Indian sol. diers aro blacks, and she has 150 regiments of dark-skinned men in India, and she de- iog in courago, endurancoe, fitness, or apti- tude for performing military service. It is in. spired by the old pro-slavery venom which atill rankles in the Domocratio party. It is tho hatred of those men who were coura. geous onough to fight for their own freedom ngainst the slaveholdera that has inspired this mnlovolont blow. It is & movement in tho intorests of casto, Its tendency is to- wards a restoration of sorvitude. It is the first dangerous stop in that direction, and should be met and crushed. THE VOTE OF ILLINOIS, The importanco to the Ropublicans of Tli- nois of moking the very best and strongost nomination possible at Cincinuati cannot bo botter illustrated than by a glance at the ro- turns of the Inat gonaral election in the State, At thiselection the Opposition wore divided on their State ticket—tho Democrats and Independents voting for different candi- dates for Treasurer and for the same candi- date for Superintendent of Publio Instrue- tion, The Republicans elocted their candi- dnte for Treasurcr by o plurality of 34,8i5, The Opposition elected their candidato for Superintondent ¢f Public Instruction by 30,606. Probably the fairost test was the vote for Congrossmen, that being the only ticket involving national issues. In this olection the Opposition carried twelve mom- bersand the Republicans soven. The Re- publicans have sinco lost one seat by con- tost, making the dolegation in Congross staud thirteon Opposition to six Republi- cang, Wo presont the vote for Congressmen in dotail horowith : District. |Oppovifion. | Republican, Elected., Canifield, D. Harrlson, D. Farwell, Tt Harlhut, It, Turchard, 1, ilenderson, it. upbell, 'Ind. ititng, T hiting, R hi e Wike. Springer, D, stevenson, D. Cameron, ‘R, Eden, D. Sparks, D. Morrinon, D. Hartsell. Auderson, Ind. lon majority, 10,327, In the” Nineteenth District Wirtiax B, N, Independent, ran against Saxues 8. Mausuart, regulsr Democrat, and Gnesx B, Ttauy, regular Republican, and way elected. It will bo reon, therefore, that Ilinois ia not o Repnblican State beyond every con- tingency. It is mnot a Republican Stato be- yond the contingency of tho Opposition be- ing practically united, and oven though they should not be united on a Presidential ticket it is quite conceivable that thoy may bo united on s State ticket, and also on their Legislativo ticket. We lost the last Legisla- ture in that way, and we may casily losa tho noxt one by failing to make the best possible nominationat Cincinnati. The Germnn vote of the State hns beon in a state of somi- revolt for three or four years, and the only nomination likely to briug it into full acoord with tho Republican party is that of Bex- sy H, Boistow, The ‘‘Independents,” 0 called, cast 76,580 votes in 1874 for their candidate for State Trensuror. Thoy ropro- sent the provailing dissatisfaction with par- tios and party management, and the man who can bring back the largest number of their votes is unquestionably Brvsasuwn II. ‘Brisrow, We commend these facts to the men who go to Cincinnati, and request them to give us a ticket that wo can onco moco carry the Stato with. THE NATIONAL APPROPRIATIONS, It is roported from Washington that there i8 now o fair prospect of ruising the dead- lock betwoen the Senate and Houso rolative to the appropriation bills, and that they will all bo ngreed to so that Congress may ad- journ by July 1, and 8o as to make a saving of 320,000,000 from the last annual appro- printions, It is to bo hoped that there is suficient foundation for this report, and that tho prediction may be quickly realized. The pasgago of the appropriation bills is about all that can be expected of tho present Con- gress, and the sooner the work can be done oud Congress disporsed the better it will be for tho political and commercial condition of tho country, Congressin the hands of the Democrats has been impotent in dealing with tho great questions of financo and taxa- tion, and the uncertninty as to what may be done by alot of igneramuses and domagogues is n constant menaco 8o long a5 Congress js in gession. As to the differonces between the Senate and the Houso relative to the appropriations for tho various branches of the publio ser- vico, tho Democrats in control of the House have adopted the policy of ecrippling the Govornment by insufficiont appropriations, thus forcing the Ropublican Senate to correct the error, Tho purpose of this policy has been to gain for the Democrats undue crodit for rotrenchment, and place the Republicans under the appearance 6f an unwillingnoss to acquiesco in the reductions. If final action on tho appropriations shall show a saving of £20,000,000, the result will relicva the Re- publican Senato of suspicion in this regard; and, at tho samo time, the country will owe it to the Benate that the policy of crippling the publio service was defeated, and that ar- rangemonts wore not madae for a gigantic de- ficioncy bill next yoar, This spociousdecop- tion has boen practiced before, It con. sists of culting down appropriations for cortain oxpenditurcs authorized by law without ropesling the provisions of law necessitating them. Thus in the Post-Ofice Dopartmont the House has increased the exigencics of the servico by adding to the number of routes,—making weekly routes tri-weckly, and tri-weckly routes daily, oto.,—aond otherwise exacting additional outlays, and yet it coolly cut off 0,000,000 from the rosources of the De- partinent. 'The demagogism of such a pro- coeding is apparent. There is desire to socuro unmeritod applause for the reductions, aud then to put unmerited rebuke upon the Republican Administration for making up o larga deficioncy nccount. Of a land with this proceeding is the of- fort, of the House to reduco the range of do- partment salaries below tho rate of paymont established by the Domocrats themselves, long beforo the War,on a gold basis, and when pricos were from 23 to 50 per cont lower than they are now. This grade of pay fixed by the Dewmocrats has not been changed oxcept during the inflation of the War, whon the curroncy was reduced almost to nil; and, after a lapso of more than twenty years, the (Government employes do not receiva moro in paper money (worth 88 conts on the dollar) than they wero paid under 8 Demooratio rule in gold. The proposition to reduce their pay 10 por cent under theso circumstauces is un. pends largely on them to guard | ressonable. It is especially inconsistent on India against Russian invasion, The | the part of tho Democrats, becauso if the abolition of the black regiments | employes receive too much now, when their in the Army of the Unitsd Blates does not grow out of any plea that they aro lack. pay is the sawe in depreciated greenbacks sa the Democrats fized it in gold in Democratic times, then their compensation waa too high when the Democrats originally voted it. 'The fact ia that clerks who roceived $1,000 in gold in 1854 really got only 8880 gold valuo now on tho pamo basis, andif their pay was not oxorbitant in 1858 it cortainly cannot bo so at this time, Tho Bonato did right, too, in restoring the item of §£0,000 for tho President's salary. Tho Prosident having vetoed the bill reduc- ing tho salary of his auccessor to $25,000, tha propor nction for Congress, if it still in- sista on tho reduction, is to pnss the bill over tho voto, If this cannot be dono tho appro- printion ought to Lo mado which the law roquires. Asido from this, thero is no justice in the proposed reduction. Tho sum of 40,000 in dopreciated notes is little onough to pay tho Chiof Mogistrate of n nation of forty-four millions, nnd it is not ecnsy for a Prosident to save any money out of that compensation in view of the extraordinary and unavoidablo expenscs ntinched to the position, To reduce the Prosident's salary to $25,000 in papernow would bo to restore it to the samoe figure as was originally paid at the formation of tho Govornment with four millions of people, whon %1 was equivalent to the value of $3 now. Congress menn- while has increased the pay of its own mem- bers half a dozen times, and by about GO0 per cont, sinco then. If tho patriotism of tho Democrats in Qongress demands the ro- duction of the President's salary to what it was in Washington's time, thon tho patriot- ism of the country may reasouably domand that the psy of Congressmen shall be put back to 84 por diem for actunl ‘sorvice. Tho fact is that tho more respectablo Demacrats rocognize the niggardly character of the proposition. 'There wera #iz Democratio votes in the Bonate in favor of rostoring the sum, of $50,000—Bavanp of Delaware, Cooren of Tonnessee, JonxstoN and WiTi- zns of Virginia, Nonwoop of Georgia, and Ransor of North Carolina; and some fiftoon of the Domocratic Senators did not vote— showing that more than two-thirds of the Domooratic Benators disnpproved of tho demagogism of the House in this matter. HALF-BREED HARRISON. Our Canten Las beon and gono and done it agnin. Ho first distinguishod himaolf with his eagle that was no common bird and flew into the sprays of the Pacifio. 1o next rushed to the rescue of the Marine Band, lotting the country know what he knew about music. Now ho has proposed a patent process for oivilizing the Indian. The ocen- sion was the presontation of certain amend- ments touching the civilization of tho In- dinng. Our Oanren opposed the cstablish. ment of schools among them upon the ground that education only tondod to mnke them worse than thoy were before. The abolition of the schools was one feature of his process. The sccond was moro unique. Ho would make tho declaration of n white man and squaw that they were willing to hve together as man and wife a valid wmarringe. “Leot thom come togother without hindranco and raiso fami- lies of children,” snys our Canrenm. *This would have o beneficial effect, but prohibit these marriagos and a groat wrong would bo porpetrated upon the Indian race.” Perhapy tho most surprising statoment of our Canten is tho following: *‘Ibolisve Iam one of those in whose veins flows Indion blood. When I look at the picture in the rotundn of the Capitol, representing the bap- tism of PocsHONTAS, one of my ancestors, I foel that amalgamation with the Indians rhould be encouraged.” Our CARTER must have considerable Indian blood in his veins to ndvocate the union of ignorance and mis. cegenation a8 o ménna of elovating the In- dian. No full-blooded white man would do it. Of courso our Camrcn's viows were laughod at: they always are. His opinions were rojected: thoy always ought to be. But now that our CanTen has broached the Indinn-blood business, will he not inform uws whother he ia a half-breed or an octoroon?

BLAINE AND BRIBTOW, To the Editor of The Tridune, Cineago, June d.—In- your edltorial in Tre Trinunz of this morning you assert your faith In the ntegrity of Mr."“alie, and your belef in hi eminent abllity an@ neness to perform the dutles of n Chief Execut{ve of the natlon, But then yoa go on to object to s nomlnatlon because of the serlous churgea that have been made agninst him (mainly at the instance of rival cundldates, aa you admit), argulng that we would be put on' tho ‘de- fenaiva In the coming campaign to explaln over and over again every siander that envy bad been able to trump up againet him, If this s to bo considered an fnsuperablo objection to Mr. Blulne, whatabout th case of Mr, Bristow when you comne to upply the samo stato of clrcumstances to his candidacy? Mr. Brivtow lias buen but o short time compara tvely In public life, but noveral scrious charges hiave been preferred against him, which I bellove 10 liave been slanders: but docs Tus Triruse not remember that Mr. Bristow and his partisans (Tug Twisuxs smong them) quite recently were put on the defensive to oxplain and refute thom,—the Sollcltor of the Trensury, Bluford Wilson, appear- iogas his attorney bofore the Commlttoe? And wil"I'iiE Tiisuns havoe tho kinducss to explain to its yoadera how we ahnll escape being compelled to expluin during the campalgn slanderd againat Hris tow, and to thiat cxtent being put on tho defenslve, Juat tho vnme as {t cluims we would bo for Blaine? 8. B. WaLoox, Our correspondent misapprobends the situn- tion, There was an attempt to make a personal accusation against BrisTow; it was an sssault on Integrity, but it falled lamentably, Upon fuvestigation the truth was discovered, and his actions were shown to be strictly honest, and the suggestions of impropriety wers confess- edly aud trunsparently falee, There Is, there- {fore, nothing standing charged agalust the Sce- retary of the Treasury, aud there ls nothing requiring or calling for defense. With him as o candidate the campalgn on the part of the Re- publican party will be an aggressive warfare along the whole Confederats line, and thie attack will n nio ¢vent have to be suspended to repel assaults on the leader. ‘With Mr, BLAINE tho caso will be different. The friends of Conxring and MonrToN have overwhelmed him with a cloud. After a long and devious scarch they have produced his own book of sules, when he acted as broker {n selllug the sccurltics of wild-cat rallronds, hu us Bpeaker alding by leglalation {n giving value to such bonds. They also have shown that sub- scquently when pressed by the victims to whom he had sold these worthless sccuritics the Pa- cifle Rallroad Company, through Tox Bcorr, advanced him the moncey to enable him tosllence the clamorous dupes whose money had been in- veated at his solicitation. This I8 no longer o mers matter of accusation; 1t s a conceded and established fact, admitted by Mr. BLaing, who, however, denlea that there waus any personal or intentional dishonesty fu the transactfon. We bave said, and now repeat, that we have not lost fuith In Mr. BLAINE'S per- sonal honesty. Wo do not believe he willfully cheated or defrauded any persou, But to nom- inats s candigate for Presldent with o record extending over several years of oftlclal life as Bpeaker of the House, and directly exerclsing an {nflucnce on legisiation, belng cngaged in peddling the bonds, optlous, scrip, sccurtics, and obligations of speculstive rallroads, and writing letters bolatertug their credit, 1s assum- ing a rlak of success, which, belug unnecessary, 18 un act of folly. X 1s tho Republean party prepared to forezo all other questious, drup ull other lssucs, and moke tho campalgn on the rallroad speculatious oud operations of Mr, BLaing!

But I8 Is not over-sanguine that Conxring will bo nominated, and thinks that the “Great Unknown * will prove to be E. B.
