W FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1876, Greenbacks ot the New York Gold Ex- clinnge yestordny closed at 885, There is no mistake as to the meaning of tho resolution adopted at Cincinnati on the question of specie payments, It hag the clear motallic ring in every word. ‘The hearing of the protests against admit- ting tho will of A. I\ STEwanT to probate was begun yesterday in New York. A large foree of lawyers have been employed. The Freneh Ministry hias decided to accept the principle of compulsory primary eduea- tion. The ncheme of educntion includes a University at Paris, Bordenux, Lyons, and Nancy. The British Courts Lave dixchiarged Wixs- Low, refusing to surrender him under the existing law, and the United States refusing to negotinte a now treaty enlarging the ex- tradition of fugitives fromn justice. A warm debate took place in the Conven- tion yesterday on the resolution looking to hostile Iegislation on the Chinese question. A motion to strike out the resolntion was voted down by avoto of nearly two to one. ‘The resolution itself means nothing. ying news to her friends nud to the public generally that yesterday Mrs. Annanase Liscony was adjudged sane by a jury in the County Court, aud her prop- erty restored to Lier own control. ‘Tha wholo proceedings were of an amicable character. vap have now alight. ed upon n schems to which they cling with much satisfaction. ‘Tho point is made that tho plen of obsence of jurisdiction recently considered wad a complete dofenso in itsolf,— that is, if it had been sustained, it would have acquitted BeLeNar,—thereforo, nothing but a two-thirds vota (as is required in vital «uestions) could orcan empower the Benate to establish that jurisdiction which would “compel the thioving ex-Secretary to com- mence a more pertinent proof of his *“inno- cence.” Tt will bo gratif —— The Now York gentleman who presented a resolution for femnle suffrage to the Cincin- pati Convention Wednesday, and the Indy who harsngued the delegates yesterday on the snme subject, seem to forget that u very swmall proportion of the men and a still smaller proportion of the wonien of this country desire suything of the kind, and that, conscquently, o Nationa! Republican Convention would misrepresent its party and the people of the country by approving the proposition to give women the ballot, If thero 1 anything tho matter with this coun- try, it is probably too much suffrago, 2 ——— ‘Wo would remind tho Common Council, which meets this afternoon, that, since it i neceksary in any ovent to submit tho charter of 1875 if the petition prosented to it be genuine, it is better to fix the date of the clection on July 12, the duy fixed for holding the special election for Mayor, so as to avoid the extra expense and trouble of a second olection. It is probable, too, that Loth miat- ters being submitted at the samo time, a fuller expression of public sentiment will thereby bo elicited. As to tho objection that the ndoption of the charter of 1875 will limit the term of the Mayor chosen July 12 to loss than four months, the snswer is that this will be tho effect all tho snme if the charter bo voted on and adopted subsequently to the vote of July 12, The Council has not the power to postpona tho submitting of tho charter boyond the November election. The law requires that the Council shall act o the petition within twenty days after its recep- tion, and that tho dato for submitting it must bo not less than twenty nor more than thirty days' notice, So, if the Council avail. ed thensclves of all the time at their dis. tozal, they could 5ot postpone a vote on the charter till after the November lection, sud its adoption at any time priorto that will necessitate the election at (he regular day in November of a full city ticket, If adopted, the city elections will therefore occur always in the fall along with the other clections, ny they did prior to the adoption of the charter of 1872, e ———— The Chicago produce murkets wero stoadicr yesterday, with a fuir sctivity in the leading departinents, Mess pork declined 2350 per brl and closed 5c lower, at $18.95 for July and $19.10@19.16 for.

Sheep wero slow at Ona hun. dred dollard in gold would buy 211276 in greenbacks at the closo. The platform ndopted by the Convention at Cincinnati is a compreliensive documont. It includes a full declaration of principles and policien, It nssertstho nationality of the United States ns opposed to the theory of a confederacy of independent Statos. It de- clares that until the parposca for which the Government wns established are fully enr- ried into exceution the work of the Repub- lican party must remnin unfinished. It do- mandsa Congress and an Lxeeutive whose courage aud fidelity shall not falter in main. taining the work of pacification and recon. striction at the South. A second Lranch of the platform declared that the Government assumed, nnd commercial prosperity, pub. lic mornls, and nationnl credit demnud, that the Government shall enmry ont its pledgo to make provision for the payment of the greenbacks in coin, and a steady progress to specio poyments. A strong protest is made against the selection of publiv oflicers by members of Congress, and for areform in the Civil Servico, and a demand for rigid re. spousibility from all ofticials, Lhe rigid pro- hibition of the npplieation of auy public funds for any scctarinn schools or institutes is demanded. The tariff is to be adjusted to promote the interests of American labor and advance the prosperity of the whole coun. try. Further grants of land to corporations aro opposed, D'roteclion to American natur- alized citizens shall. be secured by additionnl treatics with foreign powers. ‘The eleventl resolution declared it to be the immediate duty of Congress to investigato the effect of Ghiness immigration. 'The twelfth recommends n respectful considern. tion of the appenl for woman suffrage. The thirteenth demands the oxtirpation of polyg. amy, and tho next commends tha sailors and soldiers of the late War, The cfforis of the Democratic party to unite the Southern States, if successful, will rcopen sectional strifo, 'Tho sixteenth resolution clinrges the Democratio party as being the sama in spivit and character as when it sympathized with trenson aud rebellion B —— THE CONVENTION. Tlre Convention adjourned last night at davle, without taking nballot. 'Thero was an ovidont distrust all round. Neither party folt prepared to begin balloting. Mr. Bruse's friends, though profussedly in n majority, were defeated on several of the preliminary skivmishes. The work of con. solidating the dclegates upon o fower num- ber of candidates has been proscented with vigor. 'Ihe moral sense of tho Convention resulted against admitting the fraudufent delegation of Senator BreNcen of Alabama, and against adwitting Boss Sueruznp and Frep Dovarass from the District of Columbia, ‘To-day the work of balloting begins, and it is probable that a candidato will bo nominnted beforo noon, and possible that one may not e seleeted before night. Mr, Brarsg, un- less somo ehianges shall bo made during the night, will probably benominated this morn- ing. It is not likely that the opposition can combine on CoxkLixg, Bristow, or Mortoy, and if a combination be mnde it will be sither on Ilaves oranow man, probably Wasunuaye. [ ——— ILLINOIS' " GREAT UNKNOWN." Senator LooAN was announced yesterday morning a8 having been tendered a support ot Cincinnati for the. nomination for the Presidoncy. The Convention might have gono furthor ond lava fared worso, oud in this we aro sure wo express the ecandid judgment of the Senator Limsclf, who in his own inimitabla atyle told’ the assembled delegates that the Republican Couvention wns composed of Republicans who had met to nominate a Republican to bo voted for by the Republican party, and that whoever they nominated would bo cer- tain to bo elected. Thero is a tribo of potty, politicinns, aspirants for the Presidency, who shrug their shoulders and laugh when the name of Loaax is presented for tho Presi- dency. 'Fhore are men even hera in Illinois who treat lightly and ns a joke the repeated suggestions Ly admiring people in all other perts of tho country that Gen. LoaaN has long sinco doserved the Presidency. This, howover, is a mistortune incidental to renl merit. Many of the greatest men in Ameri can history have never attained tho Presi- dency ; they have been overshadowed by noisy demagogues, and crowded out by less modest nspirants, Wenster' was pushed nsido to nominate Scorr,—tha mental ginnt for the man of fuss aud feathers, Even the great orator, Cray, was sacrificed and permitted to b defeated Ly o party that clectod Hannsoy, In the Dem. oeratic party the postponement of intellectunl ability ond thorough states. manship was shown in tho neglect of many of ity brightest minds,—~including that of Loaay himsalf. Tu the Republican party to bo as unmindful of the greatuess it curries with it 83 was the Democratic party when Gen. Loaan honored it by his leadorahip ¢ We think thero Los lLeen for yeara a studied effort to ignoroe or belittlo the ability, the cloquence, tho learning, and the states- manship of Gen. Louan. He aptly describes this as part of tho purposo to assassinate tho churacter of every loading Republican, Ilere in Illinvis, whero he in universully known, this effort must fail. Gen, LoosN lls too large a spnce in men's thoughts, and his name is too familiar on the lips of tho old und of the young, to leave it possible for onvy or malice to lessen him in tho estima. tion of his neighbors, countrymon, -aud friends. 1le is nman of rare qualitics. As an orator he contributes largely to main. tain the historical reputation of tho Senate, whose traditions toll of the rare cloquence heard within its walls when intolleotnal giants met in warm dobate, It is one of the peculiarities of the Awmenican peoploe that they jmprove and do not deteriorate by time; that, when a great man falls, there is u greater to take hiv place, Great men filled the Bewste in post days and have possed awny; and among those who have tuken places as successors the country and the world sy well regard with won- derment the eloquent and nccomplished Benator from Ilinois. It is & molter of prido whon we cau turn from tlo historio post and gaz: with admiration npou the liv- ing presout. It is.not extravagant to say that the Awmcrican Benate ot no time in its history ever listened to an orator like Louax, No member of that budy, no watter Low giftud, hus ever vontured to conpicto with him, aud thevefore e stands uarivided, e i 6tothe rothut Cray was, Lor i3 by exeiusively pavtound s s W ase v deel; BTER, nor the polished rhotorician like HaxxEs, nor the flerco denouncer like xntow, nor the Boreal blaster like the venernblo Ay, Ho nnites nll those charncteriatics, which make him an orator fo whom men listen with astonished intensity, Nor is ho mercly an orator, Mo s a statewman within whoso comprehensive grasp are ombraced all subjects. 'Tha rapidity with which he nbsorbs informntion was il- lustrated two years ngo, when, finding Con- gress all entangled on the finance and enr- rency questions, he dovoted himself for two weeks to the consideration of the sabject, and, having mastered it, ho gave his viows in n speech which has never been replied to, and in which he exploded overy theory or principlo of tinancinl cconomy which ling been wdvanced sinco the time whon Annamas bought n gravoyard with silver, down fo Mr. Keruey's sovereign interconvertiblo bond. Ts there another statesman who eould have mastered this great seionce in such n timo? I thero another statesmnn now living who bias ever icon ablo to ronch the same conclu- sion? Upon that spoech on the finances CGien. Loaay mny well rest his famo, Statestunnship is not mere adheronce aud blind following of party doctrincs. It is kunowledgo,—kuowledge of the true, that it may bo maintained; knowledge of the falso, hat it may bo opposed and defented. Inn Republican Convention to nominate a Re. publican candidate to bo elected by Repub- lican votes, the brondest statesmnnship is to be preferred. Ordinary candidates may un. derstand the theory and principles of the Republican party; but the real statesman is also familiar with the falschoods and heresics of thendversary ; and in the Republican party there aro but fow men so intimately ncquainted with both nides of all questions or hay so brillinnt a record na n partisan of the oxtreme doctrines of both parties as Gen, LoaaN. As a Republican ho can toach the very fathers of the party, while, if wo could imngine him'in the Confedernte party, he would stand there withont a peer, The nd- vantage to the Republican party in having n man thus thoroughly posted, and enjoying a national reputation on both sides of the line, should Love an immense weight with n Re- publican Convention whose business it is to nominate a candidate to be elected by Re- publican votes. The military record of Gen, Looay is teo fauiiliar to call forcomment, It is, how- over, on his civil service that his national famo reats. e needs nono of the adventi- tious aid of military glory, The present President was a soldier, but not like Loaay, asoldior and n statesman, Tho conntry yearns for something better. It looks to the Convention for a man of ability,~—na man who unites the graces of Oratory with the bravery of tho Knight,—tho experience of tho statesman with tho comprehensive knowledge of the scholar in politienl econo- my. Old questions, such as the Fugitive- Slave law, and the laws probibiting the mi- gration of free persons of color into the States, have passed away, to be heard of no more, end in the search of a man qualified by nature and fitted by experience and edu- eation to take charge of the Government and nstound the civilized world, the Convention might possibly find o worde man than Jomy A, Looax, —— DISGRACEFUL REVELATIONS. ‘We print this morning from a Milwaukeo paper a copy of the writton statement made by 8. J. Coxkuy, the rovenua offeer, giving the history of tho whisky frauds in Mil- waukee, and openiug wido to public gazo the interior corruptions of Wisconsin politics. Wo invite the nttention of the public to these rovelntions and to the men who figure in them, Marr Canrexrem, Boss Keves, and Dax MxN are now at Cinciunati, swoar. ing that Bristow cannot bo trusted, and Kevrs and MuxN are urging tho nomioation of Braxe. Tho rovelations of the licenso given to the distillers to make whisky and pay no tax, on condition that they sub. seribed money to re-olect CanrextEn to the Benate, aro positivaly disgusting. Thoy tell the story of tho degradation of tho civil service, and rovenl the motives of the deep- seated hostility to reform in the Govern. went, It will bo secn that the work of bribery was not confined to the use of money, but that evon o more disreputabla agenoy was employed. The payment of monoy to Kryes, which money wos collected from the distillers in considerntion of being allowed to mnke whisky freo of tax, is directly charged. Not only ig this alleged, but that Keves and Coxrray ngreed for convenience sake to spealc of this money as given for™* politieal purposes,” Tho rovelations are disgraceful to all concerned, and illustrate into whatlow and disroputabla hands has fallon the control of tho Republican party when these mon are deliberately nnd deflantly forcing a railrond stock-jobber aud speculator upon the Ropub. lican party a9 a candidate for President. THE GERMAN REPUBLICANS, The Convention of Germnan Republicans which sssembled at Cincinnati, aud at which twenty States were reprosented, draws con- spicnous agontion to the return to the Ite. publican party of the mass of the Germans who temporarily abandoned it in soveral States two years ago on account of local is- sues, involving principally temperance mens. ures and the observance of Sundny. ‘'his roturn is of tho most vilal impertance to the Republiean party, aud the most hopeful ele- ment of its puccess in the appronching Prosi- dentinl campaign. It was natural that the Germans as o class should turn back to Republicamism in a nnllflunl‘conlost, in spite of local disaffections, Even so eloguent and powerful a leader as CanL Scuunz conld not leud them away from the party in the nn. tionnl campaign four years ngo, though the resnit of the last Ohio elaction showed that e conld bring them back to it after they had once gono, There is no doubt that the now Gormun uliegiance to tho party, indicated Ly the Cincinunti Convention and in various other ways, in based upon the baliof that the Ropublican party is essentially pro- gressive and reformatory; and {Lis faith has been restored largely by the efforts of Bocretary Bastow in proseeuting the whisky-thieves and purifying the publio ser- vice.. 'Though two or three Germans bave been implicated in the Chicago whisky. frauds, they have nowhere received more general aud outspoken condemnation than amoug the German people. ‘The Germans us a class abhor all kinds of official pocula- tion and jobbery, and the labors of Becretary Durow linve nowhere found greater appre. ciation than from them. A continued confi- denco on their part that tho spirit of theso reforms will govern the noxt Admiuistration will restore to the Republican party 49-100ths of all the German vote that wero lost to it two ycans ago in several of the Htates; and this German vote is almost cnough to assure victory, The Republican party 1 the most naturel sudeorgzenial political refuge forthe Qermans in Amerien. They are in full sympathy with the political and religious freedom which thoe party representa, The platform ndopted by tho Germans in Cineinunti would not have been a bad one for the National Ropublican Convention, though containingsomo points of more particular concernto the Germana them- solves than to any other class of voters. It declared the supremacy of the nation and the subordination of the State Gavernment. It domanded the wmaintennuce of every amendment to the Constitution made by the Republicon party, and particularly tho en- forcomont of the laws for the protection of all classes ot tho South. It called for o civil service “ based on moral character and capncity, aud not sololy on political servico,” It set forth an omphatic opposition to all the heresies of inflation and ropudintion, and maintained that there shall ho *no step backwnrd on the rond to resumption.” It favored non-seetarian rehools and compul. sory oduention, which are among the more advanced idens of the Republican party, and denounced every support of scetarian wor- ship by the State or General Government. All this is souud Republican doctrine, Ho far a3 tho special demands of the Cin- cinnati German Convention are concerned, they are wortly ofand will nudoubtedly re- ceivo the serious attention and nctive nid of the Republiean party. Ouo is that the Gon- ernl Government shall pass proper legislation for the protection of emigrants, since the Supreme Court has decidad that such logisla- tion is not within the provinco of tho States, and tho other that tho existing trenties be revised with a view to securing a foreign recognition of more libernl rights under our naturalization laws, Theso demands ere rensonnbleand in themselvesentirely propor, and thero is no question but they will ro. coive mora consideration from a continned Republican administration of national affairs than from any other, Thero will bo no difi- culty, indecd, in holding the full German vota thronghout the country if the party can give reasonable assurance of the continued reform movements that have distinguished the latter part of Gen. Grant's Administra- tion, and if the various local party mauagers will simply refuse to admit temperauce and Sabbatarian questions into national politics, where they do not belong. T — THE BELGIAN OUTBREAKRS, ‘While the other Great Powers in Enropo have been agitated by the attitudo of Turkey townrds its Christian provinces and the sud- den outeropping again of the embarrassing Enstern question as affecting tho relations of England ovd Russis, little Belgium, having no iuterest in the direction of Asia or tho jealousies of the Grent Powers, has rovived nnother of ier periodical atruggles between tho Clerical and Liberal factions which have disturbed that Kingdom for #o mnny yenrs. As the merits of these chronic disturbances are not generally understood, a brief histori- cal summary of them will bo interesting. To make it clearly intelligible, a fow statisti- cal statemonts are necessary, Belgium is n Roman Catholic country governed by o Protestant royal family, Ithasa population of 5,253,821 inhabitants. There are only 15,000 Protestants nnd 3,000 Jews, the remaindor of the population boing Roman Cntholics, There aro six Roman Catholic dioceses—the Archbishopric of Ma- lines and the Bishoprics of Bruges, Ghent, Liego, Namur, and Tournny, 'The Protest- ant Chburch is under & Synod which sits in Brussols onco & year. It has eight pastors and ns many chapels,—thrao In Brussels and one each in Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, Ostend, and Spa. Tho Jews have a contral syna. goguo nt Brussels, three branch synagogues of the firat class at Antwerp, Glent, and Liogo, and two of the sccond class at Arlon and Narour, : To get at the root of theso roligious dis- turbances, which have onca moro broken outinto open warfave and bloodshed, it ia necessary to go back to 1815, in which year the union of Holland and Bolgium was effeet- edunder the rulo of Prince WiLiaa Frep. xnick of Nassau, who wns crowned King of the Netherlandy. Tho union was not o for- tunate one. Holland waa strongly Protest. ant and Belgium just ay strongly Catholic, and tha Catholies of the Intter Kingdom were opposed to the union, The discontent increased when Holland, although wenkest numerically, obtained the predominance of power in the Government, It grew into most bitter opposition when tho Governmont at firat sssumed the diree- tion and regulation of popular education,and subsequently undertook to manage the edu. cation of tho priests themsclves, In 1897 a compromise was effected by a concordat be- tween the King and tho Pope, which provided that the education of the priests might ba under control of the prolates, but that inthe seminnries professors should be appointed to tench scienco as well as theology. This did not satisfy tho clergy, and s union was formed between the Ultramontanes—now the Clerio- al party—and the Liberals to overthrow the Governmont. Political excitenent ran high for o long time, aud at last culminated in a popular outbreak under the influonce of the Paris rovolution of 1830. Matters were reaching a cujtieal point for the Governmgnt when tho Great Pow- ers interfored. Nogotintions woro com- mouced, which in 1839 led to the Hepara- tion of Belgium and Holland. Up to the year 1840, the King of Belgium succeoded in aintaining the allianco of the Roman Cath- olics and tho Liberals which had effected the Belgian revolution, By degrees, however, tho Government grow couservative, and now causes of dissatisfaction arose, A moro lib- eral Miniatry was formed, but it was opposed by the aristocratic Catholic mojority in tho Heuate, Popular oxcitement again roso high, ‘Thoe Cabinet resigned and n now mixed Min. iutry was formod. In 1842 o law was passed regulating public education, which again aroused the oppasition of the clergy to such an extent that tho Ministry rotired. A second mixed Ministry was formed, but it lnsted ouly soven ‘months, and was uucceeded by a Catholio administration, which was a4 oneo furlously attacked by the Liberals. Iu 184G they onlled a Lib. eral Congress which convened at Brussels, and drow up an act of Federation and & plat. form of Belgian Liberalism. 'I'he clections of the next year were largely Libernl. The Cabinet resigned and a Liberal Administra. tion wna formed which lald out an entirely new policy, 'Tho now Governmont put down revolutions, restored the publio credit, sthnu- Inted private industry, developed great pub. lio works, and strove to conciliate and unite all tho political fuctious, but in 1852 the Liberal Cabiuet was overthrown and a Minis- try of Concilintion wus formed, In 1834 thy clections inereased the streugth of the Conservatives and a now Ministry wasformed of woderste Catholics und Progrossives under M. i Deesen. In 1857 the question of the dministration of pub. Le charities became u Lone of coutention Letween the Liberals and the Roman Cath- olics, aud s LU way paased sbolishing the existing Inw on the subject, which sinca 1830 had vestod the administration in the secular powor. The passage of the bill aroused auch 0 commotion, however, that it wns with- drawn aud the Ministers rosigned. Tho new elections went Invgoly Liberal, aud another Liberal Ministry was formed. The next olection, in 184, continued the Liboral ma- Jjority.* In 1870 the Liboral party, after having been in powor thirteen Yyenrs, was overthrown by a combiuation of tha Cath- olics with the Radicals or Progrossionists and afow of the Liberals who had become dissutisfied with the action of the Govern- ment in certain reforms, Tho Baron D'ANETHAN formed a Catholic Cabinet, nand at a now eloction in 1870 they obtained n mnjority in both Houses. ‘The Premicr still further increased the power of the Ultra- montanes by the gerrymandering process, which so inflamed the Liberals that an out- breok occurrad, resulting in the dismizaal of tho Ministry by tho King, aud the formation of nnew Ministry under M. pr Tarux, In the cloctions of 1872 tho Liborals gained somewhat, and still further reducod the Ul- tramontane majorities Inst yonr, which was followed by popular outbreaks very similar to those now oceurring. 'I'he olections this year, while they have slightly reduced the number of Catholic Doputies, have not dis- turbed their majority, so that it is tantn- mount to a victory for the Catholic Minis- try,—n fact which sufficiontly accounts for tho disturbances now provailing in Antwerp, Ghent, and other places. Thoy will, of course, be speedily suppressed, as they were Inst year, and then Belgium will bo quist— until the noxt election, ——— It is absurd to suppose, ns some persous do, that CoLvin would ba continued in office by tho adoption of thie charter of 1875 on the sama day a4 the spocial eleotion for Mayor, "I'he special election will be held under the charter of 1872, which remnine in full force till noxt Novomber, evon if the chartor of 18756 should be sdopted. If the Mayor clectod under the specinl election of July 12 would be the Iawful Mayor if the charter of 1875 were not adopted or not submitted, he will also be Mayor if the charter of 1875 be adopted, since the Iatter does mot go into cfact till the second Tuesdny in November, when a goneral clection of all city officers would take placo under its provisions, T — It fs tobe feared that American manufac- turers and merchants do not appreclate the fin- portance of the Centennial Exposition to the tradeund cominerce of the country. We are asgured by an Amerlean gentleman extensively engaged in the sale of canned meats and veg- ctables in London that large numbers of European merchants have come overto the Exposition for the purpose of opening trade in our products, and are sccking information ns to prices, the quality of the goods, and all fucts fn relatfon to them. He went through the Exposition a few days since with s number of these gentlemen, und while the goods they wunted were there In abundauce, in only two in- stances were thelr owners or sgents there to glve prices and other facts in regard to them. “Ihis I8 & grout mistake which all partics fu in- terest should fmmedlately correct. In the pres- ent depressed conditfon of our trade, this grand opportunity to make the world ncquainted with tho products of our soll, and especlally of our manufacturing {ndustries, shiould be {mproved to the best pos- sible ndvantage.
