WL Ity secretary, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 18 Greenbacks at the New York Gold Ex- ehange yosterday closed at 8 g ‘The Scnate yesterdny confirmed the Presi- dent’s nominationk of Treasurer and Assist- ant Treasurer of tho United States. Doth appointnents aro highly spoken of. ‘The Nationnl Bonard of Trade yesterday adopted n recolution declaring not only that tho business and industrinl interests of the country domand n resumption of specie pay- ments, but that they demand it now, Scnator MonriuL's intentions concerning the ncceptance of his appcintinent as Secre- tary of the ‘I'vonsury avo still o matter of un- certainty, Ife lind an interview with the President yesterday, and unless ho accepts to-day auother appointment must be made. The people of Indinna find it hard work to enthuse over the*Democratio ticket, and Gov. Irsonicks himself wanifested extreme dis- taste for his sharo in tho business. 1ile de- clared emphntieally yesterdny forenoon that hie would not accept the nomination for Vice- President, but relented somewhat as the duy wore on nud telegrams poured in jmploring his nccoptance, until at night it was the gen- cral belief thut he would not ducline, His decision will not bo nunounced until nfter he hins consulted with the Indinna delegation. Itis an ill wind that Llows nobody good. The Congressional investigation of Milwau- keo Whisky Ring operations hns enabled MatT CaneENTER to dovelop testimony going to show n surprising delicacy of moral por- ception, 1t is in evidence that he refused to permit the expendilure of money to soenro his election as United States Senator, and that even went so far as to declare that lio would not serve if his election should bo nec¥mplished in this way. Nobody would Uave suspected this in the absenco of sworn testimony. — ‘What Jonx Krrry, the New York Tam- mauy * boss,” wanted to uny on Wednesduy nfternoon, when he was fairly howled and hooted out of countennnce, ho got u chinnce to sny yesterday, It was that ho and many others had believed that the nomination of T1LpeN would lose New York, Indinna, aud Obio. Iiu had seen nothing to alter thnt opinion, but was content to bow to the superior wisdom of the Counvention, which wasall thot was left for Lim to do, 'I'ho re- marks of Senator MeDovary, of Indiang, had tho samio tingo of bitterness snd melancholy foreboding. A very cousiderablo part of tho Convention *‘ Lowed” extornally whiloe they secrotly ¢ Jkicked ™ "Tho Presidont yesterday peromptorily or- derod tho discbarge of IL L' Yanvan, Ohief of the Ruvenuo Agents, whowo dismissal ap- pears to have boen for sowo time a sottled purposo on the part of the President. Soc. rectury Buistow was repeatedly nsked to ro- move Yanyan, whom be valued bighly us un ofliver of courage, capacity, and integrity, oud whom he retained in spite of strong pressuro. At last the Prosident has suc- ceeded in getting rid of tho man who was A0 nctive und succossful in running to earth tho 8t. Louls whisky-thioves, Mristowlsm in tho Trensury Department is not so pop- ular just now asit has beon and will be pgain if all goea woll. The Municipal Reform Club has kindly g taken upon itself the trouble of selocting a caudidate for Mayor for ratification by the Qtepublicnn City Convention, After tho €lub shall bave determined this mattor to its entiro eatisfactiorr, it would be the extremo of ingratitude for the Mepublican Convon. tion to mrrogate to itselt tho wisdom and patriotism nocessary for the nomination of s candidate for Mayor, and yet it ia to be feared that this is oxactly what the Repub- Viean Convention will do. The fecling hos pomehow got abroad that this would be a good timo to havo a straight Republican nowination for Moyor fu Chicago, and #tranger things bave happened than that the, Qsnvertion's choico should prove acceptable ta tho Municipal Reform Olub, 7o Chicago produce markets were rather steady yestorday, provisions boing quiet und grain active. Mess pork closed 100 per brl Lighor, at $19.30 for July and $14.62} for August. Lard closed 7o per 100 s higher, ob §11.274 cash aud $11.42) for August.

Ono hundred dollars in gold would buy $112,12§ in greenbacks at the close. There are hopeful signa that the Con- grossional dend-lock will yot be broken be. foro the Lrazon tongue of clamorous time proclaima the lhour of 12 o'clock to-night. Sunset Cox's absoncoat the 8t. Louis Con- vontion, and the clection of MittoN SavLrn ag Speaker pro em. resulted in the appoint- ment from tho ITouso of members of the Conferonco Committeos who were willing to meot the Senate half wny and coms to an agreoment. In this way tho Naval bill was passcd yeaterday, and it is hoped that the wame spirit of concession will operato in securing tho passngo of the Post-Office bill, 4As for the other appropriations now hanging fire, it is probable that the Houso will cou. cur in tho plan proposed by the President nnd oxtend for thirly daya the approprintions for tho year just closing. Mr. Hexpricks and the Indiann Democrats wust feel grently humilinted at being forced to tako tho second placo on the ticket with a amsnat the head whom they bato ns cor- dially as they could possibly hate any member of their own party. It wns bad enough to bave Hrxpniczs defeated for the first place without jmposing on him the duty of helping to ecarry in Indinun and the West the very man who routed him, sud to do that by taking the subordinate place on tho ticket. Senator McDoxarp, spenking in tho Convention on behalf of Hexpnicrs, would not pledge the Iatter to accept the nomination for Vice-President, and intimated a vory serious doubt whether Indiana would go Democrntic oven with Iienpnics running. The fact is that the Vice-Presidoney is a place without patronage or influence, and the election vi Hexpnioks to that oftico would in no seuse secure to tho Indisua Democrats what they hoped for in running him for President, The President and Vice-President aro gencrally at logger. heads, and it would be notably so in the caso of "'1iLory and Hexoricks, if they gould ever attnin thoso positions, ITrxpnicks will never forgive TiLpeN, and Tiuoen will always sus- pect and hiato Hexonricks ag ono man nlwnys suspeets and hates another whom he has wronged. ABILITY. Thero is one phase of Sax Trbex's charac- ter 08 a candidate which the Republican party cannot afford to underestimate, and which con ouly be rendered impotent by being met and combated ot every step, T~ by is o shrewd, long-hended, and unscrupu- lous politician, with a genius for organization and o heavy money-power at his back which he will use without stint or conscience, This cstimato will not bo disputed by those who know him best, nor by those who have watched tho progress of ovents in the Con- federato party for tho last fow months, If there worg nothing elso in Mr. TiLpen's en. reer than his manipulation of the St. Louis Convention, it would be enough to warn the country that one of the candidntes for the Chiof Mitistracy is o wily and dangerous schemer, who coaxes whers he ean, bullies where ho onunot conx, and buys where he enunot bully, It hag gono forth, and ro- ceived the stamp of official indorsement at St. Louiy, that money by the ** barrel " iy to be used to insure tho success of the Confed- erate party, ‘Lhis is the talismnn of the Confederato cnmpnign, and in. the hands of 80 export and experienced & campaigner as TiLpeN it will not be wasted. CrpeN ia uselfish, erusiy old bachelor, 63 yours of age, who hns never been benofited or humanized by the influenco of shome and fumily circle, but whose whole lifo Las been absorbed by moncy-getting and political wire-pulling. Ilis profossion hns been that of a corporation lawyor; his chief businens the reorganization of railroad and othor semi-public schomes, and his smusement the manipulation of New York machine polities, e iu restrained by none of the influences which atfect men of family and those ongag- od in legitimato businoss pursuits, but Lo has beon acoustomed for years to work in channels that aro generally avoided. Ilo holds himsclf personally aloof from the dirty work of politicy, for ho is an aristocrat, and feels that ho would be contaminated Ly ussociation with the horuy-handed. But ho hins his ngents—youny, active, aud energotio fellows, whom lio hins himeelf trained up— and who do his bidding well and faithfnily, Though Gen, Dix had been cleeted Governor of New York in 1872 over KenNax, a strong candidato, by n voto of 447,501 to 592,350, ‘L1LoeN was able to beat Dix two years later by'n vote of 416,891 to 864,081, I vote ‘IrLoey polled in 1874 was nenrly as Iarge ns that polled by Bersous for President in 1868, with the aid of 80,000 fraudulent votes. It was the result of cunuing work, and systes matio organization, and lavish uso of woney. Heo had a thorough canvass made of tho on- tiro State, and procured the name and nd- dress of every man who had ever voted with the Dewocrats, From every county sest in the State he had a porsonal und contidontinl appeal wddressed to Democratio voters in sealed envolopes, and inclosed their local tickots, ‘Plo loeal gowspspers throughout tho Stato had the printing of theso circulnrs and tickets, and TiLpeN footed the bills, ‘Tho whole work wus done so socrotly that tho Nopublicans scarcoly kuew of it until after tho eleotion was over; but it hrought out the entire Democratio vote of the Btate without oxciting s suspiclon on the other #ido that so vigorous and fur-renching an of- fort had beon mado, TiLpen's lactics in conducting a Prosi. dential campaign will bo much the same, varying only as the field is largor, Ilo ran for Goveruor of New York with tho I'resi. dency in view. o jumped on Tween & Company after tho New York ZTimes and the Rtepublicans of Now York had exposed tho villaius and put many of thew to flight ; ‘T1LoeN then had the Presidpnoy in view. Ho began his canal wor with the ulterior motivo of being a ** Reform " candidate for Presi- dent. 1Mo bas been laying his ropes and putl. ing hia wircs for years. o hus his ogents and his co-operators in various railroud schemes ot work for Lim in overy Btate in the Union. e has raised monoy and nego. tiated loans for cortain newspapers und other institutions that could ba of service to him. ‘Thero wro two or three newspapers not o thousand mwiles from here which are 6till walting o bLe rotained beforo thot barrel o exhuusted. Within two wmonths Tipen will have arranged for the disposal of the entire patronoge of the United States Governwent, in Yw Lo shall be elected, and will thus have sceured tho expenditurs of mora time, Iabor, and money in hin behnlf by those who expect the spoils than those in actnal possession of the oflices ara nblo or willing to spend to retnin them. o will sparo no money of his own, nor per- mit any of his friends or any of thoso who havo been nssocintod with him in the big, railrond schomes to bo niggerdly.

Louis Convention, and Le has Dbad vast experienco in this, kind of work. 1le has been tha controlling epirit of the Now York ring and machine Domocrney for years, audhas manipulnted Stato Legisfutures, Btata Conventions, and oven National Con- ventions, whon it has been in hLis idterest to do so. All his experience, all his money, nll his railrond wecrets, all his organizing faculty, will boconcentrated upon the great and absorbing ambition of his self- ish old bachelor life,—to bo elected President of the United States,—and they will all be eni- ployed without any of the restraint of mod. esty, morality, or conscience. This is the most formidable power which tho Republican party must contend sgainst in the pouding cunpaign, THE DEMOCRATIC FINANCIAL PROMISE. ‘We havealrendy referred to the Democeratic- Confederate platform as au extraordinary document. A close rending will leave it an open question whether tho finaneinl part of the document is more extraordinary for what it conlaing than for what it omits, The ouzions Granger and Greenbacker and the oppreseed workingman will search it in vain for any promise of abundant and chenp money ; for any reduction of the rates of in terest ; for nny recognition of an intercon- vertiblo bond ; for a curreucy aeveding no redemption and * based on the fajth aud re- sources of the country'; for any assurance that the National Banks are to be abolished and their currency replaced by more green- backs, ‘F'o all theso cardinal points in the demands of the groeuback party and of the Democratic party in n dozen States the plat- form malkes not tho slightest referance. It iguores them completely. What, then, docs the platforin sny on the subject of finance ? Heru is the deliverance : Sirth—We denounce the financial imbecllity and fmmorality of that party which during elesen years of peace liue made no advanca toward resumption, and no preparation for resumption, but, Instead, luss obstructed resumption by wasting our re- soarces and exhausting all our surplus Income, and while annually professing tolntend o speedy return to wpecie-paymente, has anuually cnucted fresh hindrances thercto, Aw such n hindrance, wo de- nounce the resumption clause of the act of 1875, and we here demand ite repesl, Secenth—Wo demand & Judicious sywtem of preparation by public economles, by officlal re- trenchunent, and by fnauce which shall cnable the nution #00n Lo assure the whaJe world of its perfect ability and its perfect readiness to meet any of its prumiscs at (ho call of the creditor entltled to pay- ment, We belleve in kuch 8 system, well-devised, anidusbove all fntrusted to competent hands for exe- cutlon, creating at no time an artifletal currency, and at no time alarming the public mind intoa with- drawal of that vaste: nery of credit by which 03 porcent of all huelness transctions are per formed—a syxtem open to the publie, and fuspiring general contldence, which would, from the day of its aduption, bring healing on fts wings to ull onr huragged Industrics, set In motlon the wheels of commerce, manufactures, and the mechanle arte, restore employwent to labor, und renew In all 1ts natural sources the prosperity of the people, Tho first is an arraignmont of the Ropub- lican party for unot having restored specie payments, and for having nctually hindered and prevented it (1), espocially by the se- called Resumption act of 1875, Iaving thus impenched the Republican party for **imbe- cility and immorality,” the platform pro- fenses to tell how the Democratic-Confederate pacty will act if the poopls put it in powor. There i to be a judicions system of econo- miea, and officinl retrenchment and finnnce, which shall enable the nation to assure the wholo world of ita alility and rendincss to pny its debts on demund. But thero isn deoply significnnt omission to explain what this judicious system of economics and what this systom of finance is. The Domocratic party has hiad supreme control of ono hranch of Congress since Deo, 1, 1875 ; the Houss has been in continuous session since then, but during that wholo time tho Houso hag novor permitted o vote to Le taken on the repeal of the great ** hindrance™ to specio pnyments, nor has it dovised a judicious system of proparation by publio economios ; indeed, tho Democrats of that budy lnve never been able to agreo on any gues- tion relating to finance. The mnjority of tho Domocrats, whenover tho manngers would permit an expression of opinion, Liavo favored Laspeus’ plan of paper mouoy a5 distingaished from paper notes or promises to pay ; and Ilowatax's plan to abolish the Nationnl Banks and substitute more green- backs for their cirenlation ; and Voonnurs' plan to iusue greenbacks and pay off the wholo national debt; or that other plan to issue notos redecmablo in a bond payable in greenbacks, ‘The Democratic party made this Inst plan their creed through one Presi- dentinl eampnign, and have nsed it repented- ly in various State campaigns since then, aud over 200 of tho delegates at St. Louis favored it at this time. Now, which of theso *‘puiblic economies,” or systems of finance, does the 8t. Louis platform mean, ns demunds ed by the Democratic party in 18767 We naturally look to thy second clause of the seventh resolution for an explanation, but in vain, The lauguage employed baflles com- prehonsion. Al we understund is that the Democrats demand that the now system shall bo Intrusted to *‘competent hands,"—such as tho Democrats in Congress, who, during saven months' session, aftor long anyl labori- ous cfforts, failed to agroe upon any oue item of public cconomies or finance, and flully sbandoned tho attempt ns hopoloss. What in the mnamo of common senso 18 intended by o ‘“syston " which will at no time *alarm the public mind into a withdrawal of that vaster muchin. ery of crodit by which 95 per cont of all busincay trausaotions are performed "2 What f4 tho systom, aud what {s the *“vaster machinery of credit"? "o ordinary niortals this laugunge is incomprohensible, Who is tho oraclo that will make it plain? As Mr, 4n.oeN wrote this platform himself, will he explain toa benighted people what bo in- tended and what the Convention intended by this frightful arrangement of words? It will nat do—it will not sutisfy tho publio mind— to say that this system, which will not lead to the withdrawal of the * vaster machinery," will “bring healing on its wings,” set in motion * the whuels of commerco and thoe *‘mechanio arts,” employ labor, and venew hio prosperity of the peoplo. All plaus of fluauce are ropresented by their suthors as promising all this nud more. But what is the system ftself? Lot us have that mude known, that each man may judge for him- self wito ity probabilities and possibilities, 1t tho Dewocratio party or Mr, TiLpex kuow of any system of finance which will ne- complish all this, or any part of it, let it bo proclaimed, and the whole country will adopt it. ‘Fhis way of treatingit asa sscrct, not to bo divulged until after ‘TiLvey shull be elected, fs not caloulated to inspire publia confidenco. The country is not look- ing to the Democratic party as represontod in Congross for n system of finance, beeauso that party has declared its inability to devise one, It is not looking to Henpricks, nor Voonners, nor Ewixa, nor LANDERs, nor HormaN, nor 8axm Ranpaut, nor FERNANDO Woop., Al thess have proposed plans which have been spurned by tho country. Tho protensa that theso men ecollectively havo another. plan which will produco the mil- lennfum of prosperity, but which eannot bo disclosed until after TiLbex is elected, is too transparout n fraud,—too much of a confl- dence-gaina to deceiva auybody of any party. Such i the financial promise given by the parly which proposes to reform the Govern. ment, o party that has persistently, since tho War closed, opposed overy mensure to sustain the publio eredit; which hns brazenly avowed its purpose to repudi- ato tho public debt; which has sought to inflata the currency indefinitoly, and to make it permanently irvedeem- able; which has constantly opposed overy movement to advance tho valug of tho cur- rency, and which has sought to roach power by redncing the Government and people to Lankruptey. And this party has the effront- ery to chargo the Republieans with imbecility in not having long siuce restored spocie pay- ments] When the War closed, greenbacks were worth &0 cents on the dollar. 8ince that timo thoy have advanced to 90 cents, At tho snmo time tho national bonds were worth only the same ns the currency, Thoy are now worth 115 in gold. Sinco then the Re- publican party hins paid over three hundred millions of dollars of the public debt ; since thon 'it hns repenled taxes that produccd $276,000,000 annunlly; siuco then it hns taken up over five hundrod millions of dol- Inrs of bonds bearing 6 per cent interost, and funded them at 5 per cent; since then it hins given tho world assuraunce of the ability and readiness of the nation to pay its public debt. Al this hns been done, not with the aid or the approval of the Demo- cratie party, but in spito of its persistent and malignant opposition. All this is o magnifi- cent work of preparation for that final re- covery of national credit which will bo com- pleted when the natiounl emrrency shall bo equivalent to its nominal value in the recog- nized money of the civilized world, and all this has been nccomplished in deflanco of the Democratio party. THE DENOCRATIC IXEY-NOTE. Gen, Casrprrn, Confedernte dciegate of Teunessee, rising in the Democratic-Con- federnte Nationul Convention in St. Louis to second the nomination of Gov. IlkxNpRrIcEs as eandidate for President, sounded the key- noto of the South in the forthcoming cam- paign, It will be found in the following extract: Thut there is one consideration that has more (n- fluence with Tennesseo than any other, and that Is the simple conslderation of enceeer. [Applause,] We feel that we muat conguer In the battle that fs 1o he fought in November next, and in casting sround among many of the most distingulshed men of the nation whom Tennessce will follow she ls of the opinjon that under the leadershlp of the ggrent statesman of Indlana we nre more certaln Lo conguer thaw uny other, (Cheers, 'T'his sentiment was grooted with applause and indorsed to the echo by every Southern delegate, It succinctly stales their posi- tion. Platform is nothing, principles aro nothing, success s everything. Ihey are ready to take any position on the currency, on hard money, on resumption or inflation, on the tariff, or any of the sorious questions of tha dny which aro now being discussed in tho North, provided they can secure suceess and get control of the Gov- ernment agnin, This sentiment which ne- tuates tho . Confederntes of tho South actu. ates also tho very man whose cause Cien, Casenent was pleading, Gov, Iizsprions hns never been anything but a doughfacennd trimmer. 1lo Lus been on overy side of overy question, hns carriad water on both ghoulders, with no higher ob- ject m view thau office. During the War ho talled Unionism fo Union men and secession to secessionists. During the po- Titical campaigns of last fall Lo trimmed on both sides of tho currency ¢uestion, till no mnn could tell whether ho was for resump- tion or inflation. Sixteen years ago the South ousted itself ont of power by secession, It wade o desporata effort, aidod by Northorn Copperhonds, to disrupt the Union and de. stroy the Republic, and was defeated. It hng beon kept out of power ever since, and now tho ong thing needful for it isto got Lack, sud, to accomplish this, it is ready to awal- low any platform, shout for any priuciples, avow uny policy. For this it is ready to stalo everything, to give away everything, It wants the possession of the Government, | nd ig knows full well thnt, if this combing- 5 of Northern Democrats and Southern Confederates i successful, it will havo the power, The Intter will bo the party, tho former but awing of it. They aro ready to give their Copperhend nnd doughface allics thy offices in tho North for the snke of gotting control of the purse, the sword, tho army, the navy, tho flag, und tho seal. 1laving control of these, thoy ean then pro. ceed Lo fix things and restore their labor sys- tem to the ante-bellum standard. Iaving control of the administration of tho Govern- meount, they ean strip the blacks of thio ballot nnd of their civil rights which bad been punranteed to them by the Hepublicans, ‘I'ha black man then will have no protection, There will bo no Governor to appeal to the Presidont that Llack citizons shall be secured to their rights, and, if thero were, thero will bo no President to roply to the nppenl. The black maon will find the nrmy, the navy, the courts, the Executive, turnod against him, Ho will onco moro bo in tho hands of tho ex- slave master, and, beyond all possibility of help, stripped of the right to vote, and, de- burred from tho enjoymont of the privileges of the citizen, it witl be an easy matter to gndually degrade him to tho system of peounge aud re-establish slavery on tho samo basis that it existed before the War, ox- copt in name. This s what is involved in tho suceess for which the South has an- wounced itself ready to sacrifice every other consideration. It meany the control of the Ulack man, and the determivation that he shall not enjoy the fruits of his own labar, uud to securo this result tho Northern doughe fuces will contributo theirmost zealons efforts, ‘I'hiy thoy must do, sincu the South, being the party, will dictate the policy and whip its Northern tools into complinnce, as it hasul. ready done in tho Democratio Honse, While this sentiment was but the expression of one eman, it wns the uppermost thought in the mind of every delogate south of Masox and Dixox's ling, and its enuncia- tiou called forth the unanimous and enthusi- tic upplause of the whole Southern delega- tion, It will be Wull for Republicans, for tho men who fought for the integrity of the country, for all men who aro dutermined that the constitutionw] awendments shall bo carried out, to give the Southern sentimeng %0 boldly promulgated it full welzht and menning, and to dotormino whether the work of the pnst sixteon yoars shall bo un- dono by tho South ns tho dominant party in powor for the next four years, THE TWO CONVENTIONS. Thero could rearcely bo n greater contrast between two national assemblages, both pur- porting to bo reprosentative bodies, than thero has boon bebwoeon tho Cinciunati and Bt. Louis Conventions. The difference be- tween tho two might be comprehensivoly stated to be the differenco betwoen tho Re- publican and Democratio partics,—the one ropresenting the intelligent, industrial, and commercinl peoplo of the country, and tho other a couglomerato nad incongruous mass of peoplo embracing pretty much all the nd- venturous and nomadic classos. 'Tha contest at Cincinnati wns a8 bitter as nt St. Louls, and the preliminary strugglo in both cases was long and determined. But the moethods adopted wero vory difforent. ‘The canvass of candidntes at Cincinuati, though flercely partisan, wns gentlemanly, honest, and de- cent. In St. Louis it was carried on in bar- rooms, after the mannor of the lowest ward- politics of n large eity. In Cincinnati thero is ronson to believe that not a dollar was used corruptly in the intorest of any eaun- didate. Ia 8t. Touis tho “Dbar'l of money " sent in tho interest of Mr. Tiorn has beon placed where it was thought it would do most good, nnd it would not be ensy to count tho number of delegates whoso vote represented the paymont of personat expenses, In Cincinnati the stengpglo way intellectunl, it St. Louis physienl: With Sonator Joux Monmssey, tho celebrated gamblor and prize-fighter, heading n cohort of Now York roughs ou Mr. TiLpeN's side, and ‘Tammany Sachem Jony Kerwny, who has succeeded Tweep na * Boss,” heading another gangof roughs opposed to Mr. Trr- ey, the outside arguments have beon of the “ knock-down " charncter, aud o strong arm hns counted for more than o powerful brain, The main pressure brought to bear npon the Convention has been by betting and offering to bet, and Ly bribory and promises of bribery., There has been littlo of cool cal- culntion of chances which marked the prog- ress of the Cincinunati Convention, but an unsystomatio nand pell-mell scramblo in par- tisan Dlindness. At Cincinnati thero was wmethod in the following of the leading candi- date and method among his opponents, but at St. Louis there was no method among cither the TrLprs faction or the anti-TiLpeN fnction ; tho result way left to chance, on which the gamblers and roughs always base thoir hopes, The contrast may be followed out in the netunl proceedings of the St, Louis Conven- tion, through the comparative tameness and weakness of tho men chosen to the first places and of the speeches that wero made, a5 well as in the uncouth reception given thenr, Thero was n very palpable lack of nbility ; it wns so marked, indeed, that it may well bo doubted whother the Demo- eratic porty, aside from every ques- tion of honesty aud policy, has the material competent to take charge of the executive, logislative, and judicial machinery of n grent Govornment like aurs, The selection of Mr, ‘WartERsoN as "Temporary Chairman was ro- garded with surprise, not only on accouut of the constitutional bnshfulness which he has inherited from the journalistio profession, but beeawso of his uttor aud confessed igno- rance of all parlinmentary rules and practico. But, as there was nobody of influence in the Convention who soemod to be any better posted, WarrensoN mnnaged it pretty much ag he plensed. DBut the selection of a Por- manent Chairman in the porson of McCrrn- NAND, of 1llinois, was n mora pronounced ovidenco of the poverty of {alent in tho Con- vention. e began by stumbling, and stum- bled all the way along, Ho trivd to make o committed speech pass for a spontancous and oxtemporaucous uttorance, but forgot Lis words; then ho pulled out his manu. seript from Lis pocket and could scarcely road his own writing, As the result proved, it was really not worth reading. DBut tho Convention did not want to give it up so. They still aspired to somo of tho oratorieal bonors that distinguished thoe Cincinnati Convention, and Dax Voonures was trottod out to offset Bon IxaEmwsort. The *“Tall Sycnmoro of tho Wa-bash ” strove hard. Ifo wrestled with the most complicated son- tences; hograppled with figures of apeoch that woull have startled n less audacions man; hoindulged in a fabulous amouut of martial comparisons for n non-combatant ; and ho was finally enrried off in a swooning nud lnchrymose condition, withont having ronched as high as Bon InaersorL's kuoes in all tho oratorical flights ho made. What Dax Voonuees tried in oratory Sasiny Cox tried in humor, tho result of which was that any dmpression the former had made was rapidly dissolved in smiles. Dut tho laugh was rather at Sasty thon with him., Cox's Now York constituoncy consists mainly of Sachem Jonn Kervr, and his constituency had ordered him to St. Louis to oppose 'TiLoex. Under this con- dition of things it was n great pieco of folly to nuk the Convention who was to bo their standard-bearer when he ought to have known that “TipeEN" would be tho over- wheling response from Joun Monnmssex's roughs, But Baxuy wis nov alone in his mistakes ; Lo only followed tho spirit of the Convention, 1t is entirely fair, and wo boliove the cxact truth, to say that tho 8t. Louis Convention a4 compared with the Cinciunati Convontion was o gothoring of roughs, blackguards, igno- ramuses, and Incompetonts, and that a re- view of its procecdings does not point to any material of governing capacity or ability for publio affuirs, As o body representing the Democratio party it was aven more discredit- uble, nud porhaps on that account more nc- curately represoutative than the present Democratic Congress, Thero were no sigus of vigor, of policy, of system, of experienco, of taleut, or of patriotism, but tho same old desperate scramble for office that hns result- ed so disastrously for the last sixtoon years, ‘F'he Principality of Roumanin is the only ono of the Belavio provinees which has not yet joined in the general uprising agninst 'Turkey, but that may be owing to its re- moteness from tho seat of war.

As it has atiracted little nttention heretofore, the following details of its resources will bu of intorost. It has a population of 65,000,000, and outside of Roumanin thero are 1,000,000 moro Roumans distributed through Transylvanis, Hungary, Hervia, Bulgaris, and ‘Purkey. The country is purely agricultural, the only manufactures of any importance beiug oils, wine, and spirits, ‘The exports amount to $40,000,000, one-hnlf of which is ropresentod by wheat. ‘Fhere are 742 wiles of unpaying railroads, for the coustruction of which the publio dobt was auninly incurred Tho rovenuo frow theso rouds 1ast vear reached $18,288,« 285, but tho oxpenditures were $10,428,910, Tho total liability of tho Btato Inst year on sccount of railwnys was $4,620,000, one. fourth of the entiro income of the Princi- plity, Banry Treozw, who s 63 yonrs old, wag nover married. If oleoted, howill bo the sec- ond old-bachelor President, his predecessor being Jases Bucoanay, whose Administra- tion is mot odorous in publioc momory. DBuouanay had o love-affalr in ently lifo which resulted tragically; ho was never- tholess human nt one time.

Samny Cox endeavored to supply by humor what he lacked In cloquence. But of all the at- tempts and faflures, Mr. MerLviuLe W, FuLLER, of Chicago, came nearest the mark In seconding the nomination of Mr, HeNpricks, 1o hasn't the shape, nor the presence, nor the volee, nor tie fascinating flow of language which are sucl powerful uceessories of * Pope Bon's * oratory, but hegave a sophomorle imitation, which at least hnd the merit of being tho best speech madent St Louls.
