WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1876, ; | Greenbacks at the Now York Gold Ex- change yesterdny closed at 871 ardey clomlatk 00, The Hon. Brurorp Wirsox, Solicitor of {he Trensury Departmont, hns tendered his resignation, to take effect July 15, It will Lbe in order for the whisky manipulators to hsmilo along the whole line. Trensurer New "has olso decided to rotire from his position, and will vacato July 14, h E= — i The ratification-meeting called under the } nuspices of the Chicago Ilaves and Wureren Club will take ploce this evoning at McCor- mmick Hall, ‘The invitation includes all eiti- ‘.zeml who indorse tho nominations of tho Cincinuati Convention, nnd, as an excep- tionally fine list of speakors is announced, }-thu Ropublicans of Chicago will of course bo ! on hand in goodly numbom. { The New York Republiean Reform Club, i an organization which labored hard for tho \nomination of Mr. Brstow at Cincinuati, 'last ovening adopted resolutions indorsing ‘the National Republican platform, and -pledging the most cordinl and untiring sup- « port to Haves and Wrrrren during the cam- paign. This means the solid Liboral and In. dopendent voto of New York City for the Ropublican ticket. It has been pretty definitoly nscertained that the President las tendered to Senator Monniry, of Maine, the appointment of Sec- retary of the Treasury, though it is not yet known whether be will accept the position. Senator Monniry, it willbe remembered, re- , fused the War portfolio when Berknar re- ired, but, in view of the fuct that his term in the Senate cxpires in March next, and of 1 the strong probability that Mr, DBrarve will 1be his suceossor, first, by appointment in ns0 of & vacancy, and then by clection, Sen- tor Monntryn may coneludo this time to enter the Cabinet. He would worthily fill the place vacated by Secretary Buistow, 3 It has been decided by tho Republican Central Committee to make a straight Ite- (publican nomination for Mayor to be voted forat tho spocin! electiun ordored by the ;Common Council, and that the Nominating Conveution, to be held July 1, be made up of the city delegates to the last Republican County Convention. By tho time the spe- {cial election for Mayor occurs pnrty lines will bave beon strictly drawn and party is- sued fully made up, and it is for the interest of the city at large that both the Republican and Democratic organizations should nom- inate their best men and nssume the respon- sibility of tho administration of city affaira. Neither party can afford to nominate any ; but a first-class candidate, and, betweon tho . two, Chicago is reasonably cortain of having & good Mayor. The Houso of Represenintives yesterdny - pnssed a bill for tho equalization of Lountics, Tho wote on the mensuro stood 181 to 46, tho negative vote being mostly made up of Southern membera, The bill, if it becomes alaw, will, it is estimnated, take from the ‘Trensury between nine and ten millions of dollars. Under its provisions all enlisted \ H , men, soldiers, sailors, and mariues, are to be allowed §8,48} per month for tho period of * sorvice betweon the 12th of April, 1861, and Uth of May, 1805, deducting all Lountics proviously paid under United States or State laws, Tho LIl is not to apply to substitutes, or men who wero discharged on their own application for other causo thau dieability incurred in the service, unless such discharge was obtained with a view to ro-enlistment or to accept promotion, or to persons discharged on the ground of mi- nority, ‘The Chicago produce markets wero mod. erately active yesterdsy and irvegular, but gonerally easier.

Ono hundred dollars in gold won!d buy $112.37} in green- backs at the close. Tn the Senate yosterday tho Indian Ap- propriation bill, as it came from the Illouse, whns taken up, and occupied tao ontire day and ovening. Amendments increasing tle nggregato appropriated by the Lower Iouse to the amount of $800,000 were adopted with little opposition. Among the provis- ions engrafted on the mensuro by the Senote is one with referonce to the ceding of tho Binck Hills country by tho Sioux. This provision necessitntes the retention of a large portion of the approprintion for tho support of the tribo until they shall mnko some definite arrangement with the Government for the surrendoring of this reservation, The Iouso amendment transforring the Indian Bureau to the War Dopartment was adopted in Committes of the Wholo; but, on tho bill being reported to the Sennte, much debato cnsued on the proposition, and adjournmont was had be- foro tho matter was disposed of, The County Commissioners aro engaged in considoring tho bids for furnishing stone to build the ngw Court-House, and the prog- ress of thoir doliberations will be watched by the tax-payers with curiosity aund interest. Commissionor Coxry, of Lomont, is a strenuous advocate of the Lemont stono— not bocausoit is tho best or the cheapest, but beenuse of his calculation that the award of tho contract to that District will incrense tho Democratic vote there this fall at Ieast 2,600, Commissioner Avans very correctly ndded: “And leave the caunty 4,000 moro paupers to cars for in that borough mext winter.” There is thia consolation—that if the colony of paupers didn't incrense the Democratic vote at Lemont, they would increase it some- where clse, for it is n noticeablo fnct that the class of Inborers who spend what they enrn in the summer and are supported by tho county in the winter nlmost invariably voto the Democratio tickot, [ THE DEMOCRATIC GREAT UNEKNOWN. The Democrats have now {heir trouble. Hod the Cincinuati Convention uot nomi- nated Havrs and WrEELER, it iy probable that Mr. Ficpey would, after the compli- mentary votes to the favorite sons, have had not only two-thirds but three-fourths of the $3t. Louis Convention. Now there is alarm. Judge Divis, Brrn Avutey, Jorn Pangen, Tuonyan, Iancock, ENorma of Connecti- cut, Bropueap of St. Louis, Boay of Mis- souri, Bararp, WALRER of Virginin, Jenny Buack, Ewivo, and Icypaicns, are all pressed by their fricnds. Each man is con. sidered the candidate for tho emergoncy, and thern is n disposition to unite them all agningt TLLLEN, There i3 one name, howaver, not in this list, and this name in all probability is that of the winning horse in the Convention. It will be noticed that the Cincinnati Znquirer has unearthed a monstrous scandal about TiupeN. It appears that TiLpey is the prin- cipal owner of vne and largely interested in soveral iron mines in the upper peninsuln of Michigan, and that from 1863 to 1874 these 1ining companies, owned by Tiupes, issued and paid out as currency their own scrip or rag-monoy to the average amount of half a million of dollars o year; thus for a long period of years keoping in circulation o kind of rag-money, which ono of the Courts of Michigan in 1874 pronounced to ba “ g spurious, worthless, bastard curreucy,"— the Court adding, * T'his kil of paper has driven out o better currency just ns the clipped and sweated coin of WiLLiax tho Third drove out of circulation and use the golden crowns of England.” Iere it is cstablished that whilo crafty Sax has been Lolding himself out to the world as the special champion of honest, hard money, ho has been operating a mill for the manufae- turo of printed rag-money of his own, This cxposure is made by the Cincinnati Enquirer in tho intorest of the venerabloe Wirrraxu AnveN, The Chicago Z'imes, whose favorite mode of describing the Democratic party is to stylo it the ** pulrid reminiscence,” has mado nnother revelation concerning Tiipen, It will bo remembered that in 186+ the Demo- cratic National Convention mot iu Chicago and nominated McOrrLLAN aud PeNDLETOR, The platform of that Convention, however, hag passed into history ns one of the most extraordivary political documents ever pro- duced. Bo long as tho nation shall stand, it will share with the redolves of the Hartford Convention tho distinction of rank infamy. Conspicuous on the Committeo of Resolutionn wero 8Sawven J.

He was for a suspension of hostilis ties and o Convention after the old Confed. erpto stylo, when tho States should be equal, oach having the samo vote. That was ‘Tir- vEN's substitute for Buenman’s March to the Hen aund for Lee's surrendor at Appomattox Court-House. Mr. TiLoeN and Mr, Var- Lanpinouan prepared the resolutions, and tho Convention adopted them unanimonsly. "This chopter in TiLpeN's history is now re- producsd nominally in the interest of Judge Davis, who never was a Democrat at any poriod of Lis lifo, and for whom at lenst ono- third of the old-line Democrats of this State will never vote. But Davis is not the real candidate. 'here is & greater in re. serve, The coming man i3 not to be pro- duced until TiLpxN has been thrown out, and then the Convention will b ready to ac- copt os tho coudidate the Hon. Jamss IL. DoowriLe, of Chicago.Wisconsi. ‘Lhe strong friendship of the Chicago Times for Mr. DooratTr.E is notorious, That papor has, moreover, so long and vi- tuperatively denounced the Demoeratic party, that, in order to got back, it now proposes to givo tho party s first-class candidate, and the support of two papera—hoth daily, Therois much to bo ald for Mr. Doorarrie. 1o waa a Republican for many yenrs; Le then John- sonized, and thon boeame a Democrat, But, then, Mr. Doorarrer was a Domocrat befors he becnmo a Republiean; ho is now where bo started from; nnd {s, of course, propared to explain to tho Democracy why and wherefore ha deserted them, States whoso delegates are put down ns dis- posed to voto for Mr. TinpeN is Wisconsin, Ar. Doorirrsz hails from Wisconsin, and is, moreover, ono of the delegates from that State to the 8t. Louis Convention. Whenle in nominated, ho will be on the spot, and can then and thero promptly accept tho nowmina- tion and return thanks, ete. Mr. DoorarTee hns boen recently writing on the subject of the currency and specic payments, and his letter hns been published far and wide. Unlike Tigpex, he is not for specie payments; and unliko Brry Artex, he is not opposed to specio paymenta ; and tho Domocrney of all shades will find in him, on thnt aubject, exactly the man they havo been looking for 8o long and so wnavailingly, Mr, Doorirrre has had the experience of twelve years' service in tho United States Senato ; is o better-looking man than Tipex, does not weigh as much as Judge Davis, is not ns old as ALreN, has never Leen a soldior like Haxcocr, aud is in the primo of his physical and intellectual vigor. The friendsof Mr. TiLpEN will therefora tako notico that the Rag-Baby Domocrats of Ohio, Indinna, and elsowhora intond to op- posc him bocause, while professing to be a hard-moncy man, he ran a private shinplas- ter mill of his own up in the iron peninsuln of Michigan, {ssuing what was judicinlly pro- nounced to bo n ** bastard currency.” At tho same timo ho ia to be opposedand repudiated by the Confoderate veterans because ho, at Chicago in 1864, proposed fo call home tho armies and hiave an old-fashioned Democratio Convention of States to consider and decide upon what terms the South would remain in the Union, nnd if necessary upon what geo- graphical line the Union should bo dissolved. And nfter theso two divisions shall have do- cided his fate, his fricnds may, if so disposed, unite the Democratic party upon DoorirTLn and Fenvanpo Woob, and thus defeat tho Republican party. In this matter wo writo from no selfish motive. Wo moraly give the nows of the day—that Troex is tobe reject- ed because of his shinplasters and his disloy- alty, oud that the coming man is tho ex-Sen- ator from Wisconsin, ‘EDUCATION IN THE S80UTH, A writor in the Atlantic Monthly has made nn extremely interesting compilation from the oducational reports of last year, showing the condition of oach of the Southern States a8 to its schools and general educational facili- ties. A brief glanco at this summary will bo at once interesting and aignificant, Virginia shows a gnin in almost every particular, and secms to be prosecuting the education of her children with considorable vigor, The num- ber of teschers has increased 200 within a yenr, and tho sttondance on the public achools has Inrgely incrensed. There are 200 ncademies in tho Btate, fitting young men for collego, and there are two excellent col- ored normal schools. In West Virginin tho rerults aro also very satisfying, and the State has establiahed a normal school with five branches. Maryland Las beon very active in all her cducational departments. The pub- lic-schioolsyatem wasnot innuguratedin Balti- more until 1828, and now tho city has 122 schools and 89,569 pupils. Secondary educa- tion throughout the Stato, howaver, is report~ ¢d to b ina declining condition. Washington hns o colored high school, a normal school, and seventy-cight private schools, three of whichare Kindergartons, 'Thepublicschools are geuerally overcrowded and poorly venti- lated, sud the proportion of colored pupilsis Jarger than in any other city in tho country. Iu Kentucky, 141 new school-houses have been built in the past year, and the State and county tenchors' associations are thor- oughly organized. In Tennesses, in 1872, not one-fifth of the population of the State had any means of cducation ; now over one- half of the children are enrolled aud over onc-quarter are in daily sttendance, Thero are thirty-threo *colleges, acadomics, and seminaries” in tho State, In Arkansas, the wholo free-school kystem is paralyzed. Ac- cording to {he last report, the Suporintend- ent could not even provide shelving for the preservation of tho roports of other States, and the school-tenchers were paid in State gerip which had depreciated to 35 centa on the dollar. -Tn Mississippl the same style of payment exists, the teachers boing paid in warrants that are worth from nothing up to 50 cents on the dollar, Many of tho schools are closed, and those that are open re- main open but a fow months in the yoar. Nothing is done for the education of woman, and onc-half of tho children of the State do not go to school st all, In Louisiaus, only one-ifth of the children wero even enrolled in 1873, "There aro no school-buildings worthy of tho name in tho State, with the cxcoption of o few in the City of New Or- leans, and it is stated that ‘*the best of the Now Orleans school-houses would not be tolerated in any largo town st the North longer than to give tine to crect others,” In ‘lexns, cducation is struggling with all kindsof difficultiea: *‘School-houscsarorent- ed instend of being gwnod by the Stato, thus adding ono-fourth to the school expenses; the 1 per cent tax peculated and misapplied ; free schools and private achiools blended to- gother; amultiplicity of school districts ; no provision for the schiool organization of citics and towns nas such, these be- ing under the control of county officors.” In Alabama, the diversion of the school moueys to defray the general oxpeuses of tho Btate has caused an almost entire paral- ysis of primary education. In the report for 1871, the retiring Buperintendent says that * during the pust echool year tho dificultics above roferred to have neithor been removed nor lessened.” The University of Alabama Lias been kopt in operation by the State, but the common schools have beon saffored to go down. Florids looks very hopoful. Half a docado ago there woro no schools, outside a tew of tho largor towns and cities, Now there are ovor GO0 scattered through tho {a State, aud, out of a total population of 200,000, thero are 20,000 childron attending school. Georgia's educational facilities aro very satisfactory, and promising of impor. tant results in tho future. In Houth Curolina, not a cent of the appropristion of 1873 reached the schools, and iu 1874 there was also o largo deficicncy. As a sample of the way in which the school funds are adwjuistered in that State, the following jucident is given: *In 1873 Groaville County reccived but $600 of the $12,254 of school funds which cawo futo the hands of In the list of* the County Treasurer, a man who, being par- doned from serving a term in tho Stato Peni. tentinry, aflerrard reccivod possession of the schoal funds from the State Treasurer, and immediately left tho Htate!" In North Carolina tho State Las not yot nuthorized loeal taxation for school purposes, and pro- vision is sought to bo made for them out of the State taxes with inndequate rosults, The Northern reador will not fail to catch thio moral of these significant summarios. It would ba woll for Southern readors if they would do the samo and make n practical uso of the lesson. Ignorance of tho ballot can- ot bo overcomo withont comnion school edu- ention. 'Tho nogro cannot be elovated to the full standard of citizonship withont it. The Southern States nd a wholo ennnot bo peace- ful, prosperous, and happy without it. The proof lios in theso summaries, Education is at the lowest obb in Arknnsas, Mississippi, Louisiana, T'oxas, Alabama, and South Caro- lina. Theso six Stetes have boon in constant disorder since the War, Their ndministra- tions have been corrupt. ‘Iheir rulera have beon dishonest. Human life is not safo in them. Society s rent aund distract- ed. Agriculture, manufactures, and com- merco aro stagnaht, The two races aro at varianco with ench othor. AMurders and as- sassinations aro cvery-day affairs. In Vir- ginin, Maryland, West Virginin, North Caro- linn, Florida, Georgin, Kentucky, and Ton- nossee, education is fostered according to their opportunitics, and they sre peaceful and prosperous, THE WEST AND EAST IN POLITICS. Tho most unfair expression on the result of the Cincinnati Convention comes from the New York Jlerald, which, prompted by ita sensational habit 1.0d with its chronie dis- regard of truth, professes to sco o sectional significance in the nominntion of Mr, Maves; and, in an apparent effort to sot the West and the East by the onrs for the purposo of wenkoning the Ropublican ticket, it mnkes the following distortion of fucts : The Enst has not had a Preajdent since 1860, and it 18 not likely that the Enst Is to have one now. The Western Itepublicans, atleast, had no scrious thought of conceding the Cincinnatl nomination to Mr, BLauiNg or any of the Eastern candidates. It remalns to be seen whether the Weatern Democrats will be more foreetful of their section; butwhether they are or not the fact remalps that the West ls determined to rale this natlon. Weetorn ideas and Western Interests are to be paramount in our politics. There may be an alliance with tho South Jf the South will do the Bfuding of the West, hut, In any event, or under any conditions, the West Is determined fo rule. Tthins the power and means tocxerciso it. We aaw this In the election and re- clectlon of both Lixcory and Graxt. We saw it In the fact that CoLpax and Indiana swero given & place on the ticket with Graxt and Ilinols. We sce it In Lhe nominatlon of Hayrg over the worth of Coxkting and the enthusloam for Tuaiye. We #hall seo it fn tho future as wo huve seen it In the past. The President ie not to come from the East for many years if the West caa help it} and the West means to help It. While we aro busy with commerce and manufactures, with the develop- ment of coal and iron, and hesdless of partiean, and cspeclally sectlonal, politics, the West s making politicaa business, andcombining to lavo its own way In overythlng., Appurently thero ls 10 help for it, end we shall be compelled to let mattera go as they are going, at least untll we acquire Western tactles and learn to combino agalnat Westorn combinations. Now wo aro out- mancuvered and ontvoted, andat almost any time the majority of votes Is Ilkely L be agalnst us. Of courso tho spirit of all this is wrong, and, whilo entirely misrepresenting the West- ern fooling, we do not beliove it embodies any Eastern sentimont of consequenco. As to tho facts, there was notaing in the pro- ceedings of the Convantion to warrant an inference of sectional feeling botween the East and the West, and the Lallots show just tho reverse of the Jleralds assertion that the Western Ropublicans, at least, had no serious thought of conceding the Cincinnati nomination to 3Ir. Braxe or to any of the Eastern candidates.” On tho contrary, tho fact is thot Mr. Bramne roccived his most of- fectivo and unwavoring support from tho West, and the most dnmaging opposition from the East. The strugglo in tho Con- vontion was Bramve and suti-Brsng, ond it finally settled down botween Braing, an Eastern man, and Haves, a Wostorn man, In all this struggle the preponderanco of the Western strength waa with the Eastern candidate, aud tho Western candidnte was only nominated at lnst by the concentration of Eastern delogates on tho Westorn man, This certainly is tho very reverso of the sectionalisin tho flerald outlines. Wo will take tho first ond final ballota to show this, aven omitting the Paciflo States as belonging neither to tho West nor East (being adistinct soctlon), though mucarly tho unanimous strength of that section was also for Brame. Now on tho firat ballot the result was some- thing ns follows ; ) TIE WESTEUN STATLES, Antie Blaine, Uiaine, 38 4 . a0 owa, 22 . Kansas 10 .

B3 1k ‘FLat is to say, if tho result had been left to tho Western States, Brave, the Eastern candidate, would have beon nominated by a large majority ; and, if it Lad been left to tho Eastorn Btates, Haxes, the Western can- didate, would bave bcen nominated by a wuch largoy wajority then he actually re- ceived. In Now England, which ia really ono Btate in six districts with less votes than Neow York, and Mr. Brans's own homo, he received but 30 votes out of 60, or only one- nialf, on the final ballot, when the life or death sirnggle had come. ‘Theso figures show what littlo basis there i3 for Lhe nssortions of tho New York Ierald, It was not tho Weat, but tho East, that de- fented the Enstern candidato; the West, if it had been lot alono, would have nominated him. The chinrge of any soetional feoling in tho West against an Eastorn man is only less ridiculous than tho ssiertion that thera is sectionn! achaol of politics in the West “combining to have everything ita own way." Buch an ambition has no existenco outsido the fecblo imngination of the Jlerald writor; and wo cannot lot tho asscrtion pass without deprecating soriously that thero should be an effort in any quarter to croata a sectional political feeling Lotweon the East and Wost, which, should it over bo develop- ed, would be mora threatening than tho sec- tionnl feeling between the North and South aver was. — POSTAGE ON NEWSPATERS, The present rates of postage on prepnid mntter—nowspapers, magazines, and period- icals—is 2 cents per pound when issuod weakly or oftener, and 8 cents per pound when issued at longer intervals, Mr. Senn. tor Sneraaxn proposed on Friday last in the Senate to increnso these rates to 4 and & cents respeotively. Ho stated that there was a largo deficlency in tho receipts from nows. poper postages, as compared with tho cost of transportation, Mo statos the amount collected from mnowspapers for postage nt $1,000,000 annually, and the purpose of his amondment is, bo snid, to compel the nowspaper publishers to pay for tho trans. portntion of their papers. Tho Senator has alwnys been strong on specisl legislation. Ho had just voled to increase the price at which tho Government shall soll stamped lettor envelopes to such prico as shall not bo less than unstamped envelopes can be pur- chased at the retail stores, with 3 cents poat- ago added. This legislation was an addi- tion to tho postage on letters, put on for the protection of thoso mnnufacturors of en- velopes who do not have n contract for sup- plying the Government with stamped onoes, There is in the Postal law a provision that weekly newspapers, of which there are probably 5,000 in this country, shall circu. late through tho mails in tho counties where published free of postago. Thers aro, there- foro, ovor o million of shoets passing through the mails weekly which pay nothing, This in specinl legislation ; this is * protection ™ ; and this dead-heading in-the nails at tho publio expenso Mr, Suenyvay of course pro- poses to continue, betraying o dread of tho soveral hundred country papers in Ohio wholly inconnistent with his nssortion of in. depondonco of tho press genorally. e Alr. SnenaaN overlooks tho fact that the great bulk of the daily newspaper distribu- tion does not go through the mails at all, and, if his amendment should be adopted, e will discover that, instend of doubling tho rovonue, he will reduce it by driving tho transportation of newspapers and periodicals to the expross compnnies in every caso where theso companies can reach tho readers. It is on old theory of Mr. Smenyan that the proper way to increase revenuo is ‘o increase taxation to the point of extermination. Tue Darvy Trmoxe weighs 17 ounces per weck, or Gh} poundsa year, Mr. SHERMAN pro- poses to mnke the aunual postage thercon $2.20, THow long does ho suppose tho daily newspapors of tho country will use tho mails ot that rate ? Tven at tho present rates the great distribution of nowspapersis by ex- press, beesuse it is cheaper than to sond by mail. ‘fho expenses of tho Post-Ofico Dopnrt- ment exceed its income. But the cxpenses of tho Department ara capablo of reduction, The Secnate rejected tho ITouse bill for the reduction and equalization of the salaries of Postmnastors. Postmnsters ave valuable op- crators in machine politics, and Senators np- point Postiasters, and Senators are willing to pny Postmasters exorbitant salaries out of tho Trensury, oven if they have to doublo the postago on nowspapors. In Mr. Snenyan's own Stato, as admitted by himself, there aro numerous Postmasterain compnratively small towns who aro paid $4,000 a year each and perform the duties Ly deputies, whilo the Judges of the Supremo Court of Olio aro paid only £3,600. Thero is an immenso ex- penditure for daily mails on routes where the business doos not yicld cnough to pay for weekly services, but mail contractors nre admirable operators in machine politics, and some few millions have to bo expended to kecp the machines in motion. There is vast room for rednction in waateful expendi- ture in tho postsl sorvice. The salarics are ol too large, the number of persons employ- ed too great, the nmount paid for tho trans- portation of mails excoessive, not ouly in the wny of compensation for service rondered, but for compensation whera thero is no ser- vica rendered. But reduction in expenditure when there is a power to incresse tho tax is o heresy in modern statesmanship, Bhould Mr. SBnenMan's proposition to tax the nows- papors out of the mails bo carried, it will Liave the offeot of increasing the nunual do- fleioncy in the rovenues of the Dopartment, and be another instance of the brilliant wis. dom of the policy of taxation to provont rovonue. 'The Staats.Zeitung follows up its opposi- tion to the Republican candidate for Pres- ident with a zeal singularly at varisnce with its professed political independence, and cro. atos a suspicion that it has beon regularly re- tained in the interestsof the Confederates who meet in St. Louis noxt weok. 'The hard. ost thing that it has been able to say is that the Republican party have united on Mr, Maves with surprising unonimity. It pro. fessea not to bo able to understand how Mr. Monron's friends, ond Mr. CoNkLng's fnends, and Mr. BrisTow's {riends, and Mr. Bramvg's frionds, and the friends of all tho other possible candidates for the nomination, should now be so enthusiastio about Mr Haves, Sofar from this being strange or unusual, it is probable that thers could have been no such hearty and onthusiastic rounfon on any other man named in connootion with the place. Every other candidate would have had personal prejudices and enmities to contond against. Mr, Brang could not have counted on any cordial sup- port from Mr. Conxring, and vice versa ; Mr. Baistow would hove been opposed by the “machine” men; Mr. MontoN ocould not liave entirely allayed tho bitternces emgon. dered in the struggle for the nomination, and Mr, Haves alone can unito all the divisions of preference and projudice in a common zeal for tho Republican party. ‘I'hi is why he will roceive the solid vote of tho Republican party, just as he immediately commanded the enthusiastis indorsemant of ull the mou and newspapers that bad been devoted to other personal interests, 1o will ulso receivo tho support of the Liberals, ropresonted by the New York Conferouce. Tho only *independents” who will be agninst Lim aro thoso regularly retained by the Confedarates, or thoso who nre identifiod with the Whisky-Ring and othor carrupt olemonts in politics, This s what's tho matter with the Staats.Zeitung. Tho opposition of the London Times to tho policy of tho British Government in ro- lensing the Louisville forger, ng indicated in tho cablo nows, is a protty aure sign that tho eurront of public opinion in England ia set ngainst the now notions of extradition which 'the ruling parly is trying to enforco tho United Btates to recognize in kpito of tho oxisting oxtrndition treaty. Whon it comes to turning looss criminals like Bnext, for whoso surrondor tho courtesies of eiviliza. tion should sutfice aven without atreaty, the British authorities have entered npon » prac- tico that will not receive the approval of any civilized country. Tho Z%¥mes proporly charncterizes the procoeding when it says, in regard to such a criminal, that “To nssumo that its [the United Statos] Courts will not deal fairly with him is a reason for refusing to entor into any treaty of extradition with it at all, but not for vex- ations ind suspicious stipulations.” IHercin hins been England's greatest error. It has attemptod to bully the United Blates Gov- ernment into a recognition of ona of its municipal laws without any movemont townrd changing or modifying tho existing treaty. Tho result is thnt extradition be- tweon the two countries, for tha timo boing, is practically abrogated. Wo are informed thnt the objectiouable clnuso nttached to tho Lake-Front bill, ns it passed the Xouse, was not o part of the original bill which Mr, Carrea MHarnrsoN - sought to have passed, but that the Commit- teo insisted upon tacking this clause on be- foro thoy would cousent to report it. This was in deferonce to the rights of private owners. Now, thero is no objection to pro- teeting tho rights of private ownors, which ahould not be impaired in any case, whatover thoy may bo; but the real objection is that thio bill which passed the Houso acems to in- hibit the eity from selling the property for any purposo, since the conveyanco is mado “ provided that this actshall in norespeot impnir tho dedication heretofore made of snid grounds.” Now, the original dedica- tion was for a common, and it would bo impaired by the sale of the property to tho railronds or for any other business purpose. A titlo subject to this restriction is of no bonefit, but, under the circumstances, an in- jury to the oity. The local Democracy a few weeks ngo made & dospernte effort to throw off the bummerism that has fastened upon it by ro- pudinting Corvin and leaving the ballot- Tox stuffers of the town elzction to theirown deserts; but tho effort was spasmodio and temporary, If any one doubts that tho Democratic party of Chieago and Cook Connty has egain passed into tho hands of the loafers, gamblers, bummers, and whisky- bloats, it is only necessary to refer to tho action of the lnte County Convention, which was complotely under the control of the old set. Locally it makes but little differonce whether the Cook County declegates to the 8pringhteld Democratic Convention go for TiLpeN or any other man; the chief local interest is in the potent fact that the Chicago Democracy has returned to its vomit, and will honceforth as beretofore be identifled with the Jowest and most vicious clements and purposes of local politics, Perhaps it in just os woll; for this associntion will insure tho simultaneous defeat of both tho Demo- erats aud the bummers, When the seventh and last ballot was or- dered at the Cineinnati Conventlon, the vote of’ Arkansas—being the second Btate to be called— took the whole Conveution by surprise. The delegation had steadily voted one for Brarvm, cleven for MonTox. Everybody knew, after tho sixth ballot, thnt the eriels had come, nnd that the next vote would be deelsive, Nobody ex- pected that Braing would recelve miore than three or four votes from the Arkansas delega- tion, us they were angry at him for his course iu sclecting the Poranp Committee, and for op- posiug the BaxTer Government, whereby the Democrats obtained possession of tho State, But, when the vote was announced, elev en for BLAINE and one for IIAYRS, the report was u8 unexpected a8 a clup of thunder out of a clear sky. The BLAINE men, of course, uttered tumultuous shouts, and went almost wild with delight. Tt secms, however, that the vote as re- ported and counted was a fraud. Several mem- bers of the delegation, alter the Convention nd- Journed, explalned the facts as follows: ‘They sald that the delegation concluded to drop Mon- 10N nfter the sixth ballot, as they saw he hadno further chance, and divided their votes as fol- lows: For Braing, 8; Hayes, 8. Four or five of the Hayes men left their scats and visit- ed the Georgly, Caroling, . and other Southern delegations, to tell them what was dose. While they were absent from thelr scats, one of the BLAINE carpet-baggers moved .a reconsideration, which was carrled, and then moved thet the voto of the Stato be cast as n unit for Braine, The only Haves man present sharply protested. At this juncture, the Becre- tary called Arkansas, and the tricky Chalrman of the delegution announced the vote of the Stute s before stated: 11 for Brains and 1 for IIavgs. Henrlng this false vote cried out, the other lHAvzs men hurrled back to thelr seats to have it correeted, but it-could not be done until the roll-call of all the States had been finished, when ft turned out that HAxes was nominated, notwithstanding tho fraudulent vote of Arkan- sas; and the Haves men of that delegation were persunded not to reopen the matter, but to let it pass in sl ———— Our dispatches have recorded o characteristic instance of Caucasfan borbarity fn California.
