In this way the candidates in one district are instrueted to vote, if elocted, for one man, and the oandi. dates 1n other distriots for other men. Ths Republican party is stronger in overy dis. trict than is any of its Benntorial candidates; all Ropublicans will vote for members of tho Logislature instruoted to elact a Republican United Btates Benator, but they wiil not all vota for legislativo candidates instructed to vote for Mr. A to the exclusion of all the other lettors of tho alphabat. Every voter hag somo porson inhis mind whom he would likoto seo clected Senator, but if the candl. dates for tho Legislature are not to be frao in their choice for Senator, but are to go to Springfiold ** fixed " to vote for some other porson, then he oares very little on tho anbject. Senator Ooneapy has frionds in every distriot, and if conventions are to bo pneked to pledgo legislative candidates to vote ageinst Lim, thon his friends have just causo of resentment. Tho {sams camso of discontont will exist among the friends of other eandidates in other districts where the legislativo nomineos are pledged to vote for tho re-cloction of the present Sonator. The Tepublicans of INinois hiave already lost ono Senator by this practice of pledging mem. bera of the General Assembly to vote for ono candidate, to the exclusion of all othors, Thore is danger that this folly will be re- peated thia year, and that & sufficient num- bor of Republicans will, becauso of jonlousies nnturally growing ont of thia practice, bs defeated to ennble the opposition to elect a Sonntor. The rulo should be to first sacura the Logislature, and lot the members elect the Bonator. To try to elect the Bemator by County Conventions may notprovato be suc. ceasful. THE NOMINATION OF LINCOLN IN 1880. Tho contribution to the history of tho first nomination of Mr., LiNcorx for the Pros- idency by tho Republican Convention which mot in Chicago in May, 1860, from the pon of Mr. Lzovanp Bwerr, and published in Tar: Tribuss yestorday, was rend with the futereat which the facts stated and the manner of thelr prosontation so deservedly merited. Mr. Bwert's narrative begins on the Monday beforo aud ends with the Friday on which tho némination was mado. On that BMonday tho great battle for LrxcoLy had beon fought and won, and, whon Mr. Swerr and Judge Davis entered upon tho sceno, the most that romained to bo duno was the ratification of the nomination by the Convention, No mat. tor how tho rulo may be generally {n con- voutions, the nomination of Mr. Lixconn had baen already decroed nud detnanded by the popular hoart of the ltopublican party, though most of the politicians did uot dosire it, and intendod to defeat it, Tho Convention rocognized, aftor an Interchangs of views, that Lincowx's nomination was indisponsable to success, 'Ll nomination of Mr. LiscoLy woss tho rosult of the education of popular sontiment in his behalf. It was not a sud- don thonght or sct of bargain or iuapiration ou the part of the Convontiou. FPopular seu- (iment cantrollod the Conventlon, and over- whelmedthe opposing cundidates. When Mr. Livcowy, who wns the cancus nomineo for United Statos Senutor, wan do- foated by Judge 'U'sussore in 1854.'5, the Republican party was not fully organized in this State. Tho campain of 1858, which onded ngiving the vote of Iilinois to Buouax- AN, on nceount of Fremoxt's alleged rudical- {sm, pointed out {6 tho managing Repu blicans tho necossity of u oloser and better uuion of the ** Old Whig" elemont with the Republic. aus, Tho mavagersof ‘Lug Cuioavo Trisune, who Lad witnessed the ubility of AMr. Liw- cory during the campaign of 1830, had reached tho couclusion that that gentleman abovo all othors was tho best titted to unite the Whigs to the Republicans und lead tho party of llinols to victory, and to remove ull bad fesling among the Old Whigs Le. enmuse of Mr, Lincoun's dofeat for the Bunato 1n 1834, It wus tinally unasimonaly aygreed that Mr. Lixocory shonld be recoy- ulzed and supported us the Republican cane didate for tho United States Hauato against Dougris, aud the Htate Couvention of 1858 formally nominated him for that ofice, 1In Juno, 1858, the wemorablo sud Listorical canvass botwoun LincorX and Dovatas oponed, and was continued uutil election. doy in Novumber following. During all that thme Tug Cuvago Tumuxg made aztruor- dinary offorts in Lis bobal?, not merely with roference to tho then pending eloction, but to placo the man promivoutly bofore the country es ono fittod aud worthy to be s great loador ins the party, und to toke the placo of older atatesmon who had yielded, or wery duily yielding uore and wmore, to the seduc- tious of Blavery. Mr. LincouN was notan extromist, but he hated Blavery, and, as he oxpressud it, desired to pluce i In'*the course of ultimate ecxtinction.” Ile wass mun of great uatural ability, of tastes and bnbits commending bim to the common people, while hiu parsonal charauter was be. yond reproach or question. With the end of tho Beuutorial cunvass und the dofeat of Lix- coLN, the managers of thix paper did not lose confidence iu bluy 'FLe cauvass with Dovoras hod been used by his friends to msake Lim as couspicuous aud ms familiar Lofore the couutry as pousible, The work of oducating popular sentiment in Ll behalf for tho Presiduncy thus be. gun by Tug Cuicagco ‘U'sisuns never flagped; it wos penslstont, unremit. ting, and {nowssant. 'The story of Asranas Lixcown's lifo, bis humble origiu, his labors, Lis poverty, his grand courago in proposiug to chain Slavery, his brilliant coutost with the grust Democratio leader, who was then expocted to be the Democratio candidate in 1560,—all {bis wos kept constantly before the people, LincoLy, su the man certaiu be- youd reosonatlo doubt to defeat Dovonss in Jlinois und every Western Htato, ‘wus the constant burden of Tux Tnisuse's song from tho winter efter tho Benatorial contest until the nomination in May, 1860, It insisted that ho could carry Illinois, Indi- sus, aud Pennsylvania, which Furmost had lost, ugd that Sewanw could uot curry either of thuw. It drummed this vitlly iwportant idoa into the honds of multitudes of poli- ticians and people, Dr. Onarvea . Rav was thon tho direct- ing editor of The Tnmuss; ho was the per- sonal and intimnto friend of Mr. Livcous, and was a gront ndmiror of his integrity, moral courage, and goneral character. Ile always spoko and wrote of him ss ** Honest Old Ans.” Fow writers of ability superior to that of Dr. Ray ever condnoeted a journal in this country, and he dovoled his whole cnergy and his time to the work of present. ing Mr, LixcoLy to the people of the conn- try, and especially of Pennsylvania and the ‘West, aa the fitling man to be nominated in 1860 by the Ropublicans as their candidate. The other editora of the paper heartily con- curred in this course, and porsonally did all in their power to accomplish the end. The action of Tnz Tarnuse recsived additional cmphnsia from the fact that the Chicago Deni- ocrat and tho Chicago Journal, tho othor Republican papers of this city, both opposed Mr. Lixcorx for the Proaidency, and both enargetically favored the nominntion of Mr. 8ewanp for the firat place on the tickat, Tho Hon. N. B. Junp, of this city (then Btalo Benator), waa then a member of the Topublican National Committce, and was an enthusiastio Livcory man, and to his adroit and {nfluontial efforts was largely due tho seloction of Chicago aa tha place of holding the Convention, giving Mr. LuxcoLy's frionds in this State, Indions, and Iowa, and from all the Northwestern States, an opportunity to be present and swell the great popular demand for the nomination of * Tionest Old Ape.” Mr, Junp eaptured the National Committeo by promising that tho Republicans of Chicago would build a monster wigwnm, capable of holding all the Republicana that might come. Holding the Convoution 1n Chicago was deemed, as it proved to be, no unimportant factor in promoting Mr, Livcorx’s nomina- tion, The storm in his bohalf was frresisti- ble. Tho popularsentiment all throngh tho State was unmistakably for Lincorx, When the Convention met, and when, as Mr. Bwxrr describes, he and Judge Davis nppoared on tho scone, the grest battle for Lixoorx had beon fought and won among tha people, and Al that remained was to sce that the Convention was not misled or docaived by trickery or bargain and snlo into a betrayal of the popular choico, For that duty no persons were batter fitted or more compatent than Mr, Bwerr and Judgo Davis, who undoubtedly did their duty ably nnd well. Yet we nlways understood that Jrsss K. Dusots, 0. M. Hatem, J. Y. Soasnton, N, B. Jupp, O, H. Ray, and Esexczcs Prox pat in considerable work whero it would do the most good during the midnight confer- ences of that intaresting occasion. The Convention consisted of 405 delogates, nnd the highest vote Mr. Sewarp received wns 184, and that was on the sceond ballot, and LixcoLy had 181, Szwarp could go no higher, ond LixootN was tho sevond choice from the start of tho Cmasz, Osmenox, Mc. Leax, ond Batss dolegates, who had among them 100 votes. Tho Pennsylvanians woll know their State con!d not be carried for Szwanp sny more thau it was carried for Fantoxt, and thoy camo to Chicago with ' Honest Old Ane " of the Praines in their mind oa thelr sacond choice, for they knew ho could sweop the Koyatono Stato agajnst any man the Domocrats might put in the fleld. We have thought it but proper, while so mauy eminent gontlemon are mnking history by stating the parts thoy taok at the Chicago Couvention to nominate Mr. LiNcoL, to call attention to tho othier fact that the history of that nomination dates much entlior than they suppose; nnd that, withoat disparaging their sorvices in the lenst, the work of preparation for the nominntion covered saveral yoars, aud, eo far es the Republican party was con. corned, tho nomination was protty much ne- complishéd bofore the gontlomen put on thelr bost clothes, and, in the full dress of Inwyers, oud Judges, and statesmen, mot nt tho wigwam to hurrah for LiNcoLy. ] A PLUNDERING PHARISEP. The Indians are sorcly prossed on every hand. While Mivres, Forsytue, and Turocg- storToN are vigorously fighling thom in Tdaho and Oregon, LivinasToN and other plous frauds have boon stealiug from them like sooundrols in Dakota. For eight long yeurs this an LiviNosroN, who wors vory broad phylacterics and guve stained-glass windows aud baptismal fonts to the chnpels with ono hand, while he atolo the Indinna and the Government blind with the other, Llias beon plundering from tho Indlan rations and supplies, porjuring bimsolf and forging vouchers to cover up his villainfes. He soems to have foatherod his nest vory snugly by tho operations, having laid up several large lnnded cstates, town lots, stouk ranuchos, aud intorests in threo Novada'silver mines, where moth and rust corrupt, but where no thief bigger thau himsel! can break through. There liavo boou a good many thleves, frauds, dend-bents, and scoun. drels, both among tho religions nnd frre. liglous Agents, off and on, butthey were pigwles and novices in the fine art of steal- iug as cowpared with LiviNaston, the Ageat who hod the care and foed- jog of 8,000 Bioux Indions at the combined Crow Creck. and Lower Brule Agoueies, Tt must inaky tho other scoundrols s#mite their brousts with despair as thuy study the delicate uud ingenious methiods, the Lold aud audacious systoms, and tho pous and pecaliar plans ho employed to circumvent the Govornmout and strip tho Iudian of his food, and clothcs, and supplics, giviug him inreturn staluod-glass windows and baptis- malfouta stolen with Goverument money, In all the records of Indian frauds, and they ‘would reach from tho Atlantio to the Paoific, thero hns boen nothing so colosssl, fugenious, bold, unblushing, or voracious ss thedepreda. tions of this wolf in sheep's clothing, who se- curad Lisposition through Protestant Episco. pallufluonces, and was expactedto accomplish groat thiugs in civilizing and OClristianizing tle Tudiun. o utole everything that came in his woy, from a ish-hook to & steamboat load of corn. He rana hotel upon Agency supplies, and foroed his employes to board atit. Hofed sl his siock at the Govern. meunt crib. He sold the Indiazy’ wood to steamboata and their hay to tha Black Hills winery’ trains, He paid . Indians for Jabor with their own annuitios, andsold them their own rations. Ils bouglit articles from the Indians, paying thom with thuir owa rutions, collsoted thcir value frown the Government, sud then sold them over again, thus colloct- fug a double toll on the stolen property. Ho fillcd up the traders’ warchouse from the CGovervent warehouse, drew rations for more Indians than he had charge of, and cut off rutions for alloged offenses, nover making avy return of thew, o slocked bis ranches with stolen cattle and fed them with stolon hay. Ho violated the mails, and conflicated stemmnboat cargoes intended for othe Agencies, Hy sold all sorts of Iudiansap- plice, including cuttly, wules, hogs, wowing- machines, wagons, hoes, files, tobacc sugnr, fish-linies, cloth, and hardwnro. There was a fraud in evory transaction with which he was conneeted, from the ssuance of.n ration to the biggest hay or wood contract, and whilo he fed his hogs on curn balonging to tho Indians and his boarderw at his hotel npon their provisions, o kept tho Indians npon bullberrios and cherry-bark, and stols tho rags off the papooses. Thero can e no certainty that Dr, Liv- wosToN will ever Lo punished. Is hns stolon too much for that. He may, like Twrzp, ask, ‘* What aro you going to do about §t?" If he wers turned loose among the Tudians, whosa ideas of jnatice make no /ccount of legat technionlitios, or the salo and | delivery of juries, or tho magnitude of the sgnotnt stolen, hin sealp wonld ndorn some Indinn belt {n short onder ; but white justice is of a difforent sort, and white civilization is &0 far superior to the Indian sort that colos- el scoundrels coms to be admired. It is only the picayunish, vulgar thisves who stenl alonf of brend booansa they are hungry that are visited by the oxtromo penalties of tho law. The minlsters of justico pounca upon agnmin and vindieate the gonins of justiceand civilization, but they will hesitate beforo they pounce upon this pretonded Christian Agent, who, with tho Indians’ monoy, and food, and clothes securely packed awny in his own coffors, has not Lesitated to contribute his mito towards proparing them for a better lite byilluminating them with the * dim, roligious light,” through stolen stained panes and giv ing thom stolen fonts i which they may baptize theie papooses into the trus fith. Notwithstanding all this, and the posi- tion of Agent LivivasTox 88 o reformer among tho Indians, ns compared with him Ohiof Joserm appoats angelio, Brrrivg Bouy is o gentleman, and even the late Capt. Jacx and Buackmasty Jne, of lava-bed famo, might bo libeled by tho comparison. Isit not time that this farce of Indian Agoncies was ended? Wa have tried civil Agonta and roligious Agonts,~—Agants nomi- nated by Governmont and Agents nominated by churchos,—and thoy appear to be very much alike, the essential differenco fluc- tuating according to the amount stolen, It isevidont that the army must bo employed In fighting Indians so long as the villainoua ringa of Agonts, contractors, and traders aroc cmployed In stealing from them and awindling thom. An Indian is only bhuman, snd will fight against thioves. It is evident aldo that, ao long aa the thiovos know that thera is no prospact of their punishment, they will keep on steal. ing, and tho srmy must bo kept fighting. Would it not be cheaper, more sonsible, more oconomical, and more prudent to let the army take carc of the Indians and have authority to try overy thief by drum-head court-martinl, with tho usual ponalties? The villainies of these Indian rings have ox- hauated the public pationce, and the people have no confidence in any of tho gang. They begin to feel that tho Indian problem might be deflnitely sottled if the army, in- stead of hunting down Indinns who have Leen robbed, cheated, and swindled, would Lunt down tho mob of Agents, traders, and contractors, who goll them whisky and ifles, anddrive them to some remotae reserva- tionin a lava-bed, and keep them thore, under guard of some of thelr rod-skin vietims, THE GREAT NORTHWEST. A fow yoars ago whon the ** Groat North- wost " was montioned tho idoa conveyed was a district ombracing the Northvestorn States like Iows, Nobraska, Wisconsin, and Minne- nota, A littlo later on, the same exprossion was made to include tho Territorics of Wyo- ming, Montans, and Dakota, Henceforth, howover, the ‘Great Northwest” will in- cludo o very conaiderable proportion of tho Dritishy Tossosslons, roaching over finnlly into British Columbia on the Paciflo Coast, as tho Northwest of the "United States now oxtends to Orogon. It is only quito re. oently that we have oensed to regard tho Dritish Posaosslons in the Northwestern part of this continont as hyporborean and unin. habituble. Yot we now run across In our oxohanges n rospoctable and well-printed newspaper called the Standard, which has its homo at Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Is filled with announcements of railroad, land, and business entorprises.

Whon tho Ottoman reprosentatives ontered their pro- test against this appropriation of Turkish torritory, the reply of Lord Barasnunr was, that the provinces had beon frightfully mis- govorned, nnd that robellion agd massacre had existed for years, and that Tarkey bod shown hor utter inability to pacify or govern proporly. All the other Powers nssonted to thia view of the case, and, when the Porte remonstrated at Vionns, and do- manded that, while Austriaadministered the government of tho provinces, sho should recognize the paramount of sovoroignty of Turkoy ovor them, and shonld namo a day In the noar future when she wonld withdraw therofrom, all the .roply that Austria made was, that tha Great Powers hind turned the torritory over to Austria without conditions as to, time of ocoupancy or anything elso, and that shie conld not consent to imposo limitationn upon herself, This acquisition will make good the hu. milialing loas of the Italian provinces. The inhabitants ars mainly Greck and Catholio Blavs, with comparatively fow Turks smong them, and the vast majority of tho people are dosirous of annexation to tho Austrian Empiro, sa that will secaro them justico, religious telorance, and good governmont. The Austrians propose to run railroad lines down through the provinces to develop thelr resourcos nnd onable the people to market thelr orops.

The Bloux Indiaus upon the Missouri Rivar reservations in Dakots, espocially the tribes headed by Rep Croup and Srorrep Tai, are evidently dotormined to mnove from the river, and havo so informed the Sranzxr Commissioners, who, after laboring in vain to dissuade them, hnve returned to Yankton. These Indisns have settled upon White Clay Crosk, @ amall aflluent of tho White River, in Northwestern Nebrasks, near the Dukota frontior, aa thoir future home. White Clay Oroek is 140 milea distant from Siduoy, the uonrest rallvond poiut on the Union Pacifie, in Bouthwostorn Nobraska, and 250 miles west of tho BMissouri, the nearest polut at which supplies could bo reachod by river, ‘fho Governmeont natarally opposes such s removal, irst, because of the imniensa ex- pensg of transportation over this 230 miles, nnd, second, bocause the Indians are beut upon golng there in order o por. fect thelr communfcations with the hostiles of the north, It fa ovident that, wunless the Qovermment aots firmly and promptly, it will have another, Indiau war upon its hands befors winter saty in. 'I'horu nre 20,000 of the Bioux Indiaus on the Missouri, and they have about 800 rifles nnd 10,000 ponivs, notwithstandivg that Ageuts were instructed to disarm and dismiount them on reservations, Buch a foree a8 this, in communication with the hostiles and confronted by ouly C00 soldlers, will certaiuly make trouble, and fuvolve the Gor. ornmont in a long and oxpensive canipaign, unless the Government puts iis foot down immediately and heavily, and gives the In- disus to understand they must stay where thoy are. Ilaving done this, it should next tako Ar. Ageut Inwin's head off as quickly as lightuing will do it, for violatiog his in. atructions by counseling the Indians to * go West.” A little investigation will probably shiow that Inwix and his gang of traders aud contractors have put the Indians up to their determination to move, in view of the increased profits snd plunder that ore sure to ncerue from trans. porting supplies by wagon 250 miles west of thedissouri. The wholo question, there- fore, turns upon the isiue whauther the Gov. ornwent can afford to let theso Indians go to ‘White Cley Creek and involve itsclf in vastly incrensed expouso murcly for the sake of en- riching & rapacions and greedy ring of trad. ens and coutractors, aud whether it is not cheapor aud more prudent fo head off Loth Indians and Indian Agents by prompt snd decisive action. Any delay must inovitably iuvolvo oue of two results,—sither a very expensive and destructive Indian war, or & camupaigu of robbery and plunder that might make oven the pious LivixosTon envious. There i3 a nowspaper coucern in Cbicago which {8 only useful becauso it is a wost of political baromcter. Whenever thut news. popet yells, it is pretty cortain that sowe cor. rupt or incowpetent politician Lus been tarned out of ofiles, Tho Iatest oasasion for A cry of disteess from this machine organ hna beon the removal of Collector Antnus in Now York. This nction on the part of the Adminfatrntion has been reeaived at tho Wast as tho signal of n detorminad purpose to put A stop to the frauds of the New York Ons- tom.Iouso, which for yenrs hava cost the Governmont millions of dollars annually and erippled the importers of the Western cities. But thero comos n protest from tho machine organ beoause the movenient is in tho direc- tion of Civil-Hervics reform, which is hatefal to oll of ita class, Tnn Trrouxw's dispatchios Lavo stated that tho removal of Collector ARTHUR Was partly *¢ hecanso ho has rotained political hacks in office, while discharging moro efliciont clerka who were not politicnlly inclined.” This statement the machine organ atlompts to distort into an admission that political considorations, and not any regard for tho collection of the revenues or the righta of the Western businoss.men, have suggested tho Executive interforonce. Was Qollector Antaun, then, promoting the inter. osts of the Government or those of the Wesl- ern busincas-men by retaining the political hacks who connived at the frands, or by discharging the efficient mon who did not mix up in machine politics, but honestly and faith. fully discharged the duties for which they were employed? This would Le the infer. ence from a protest against his dismissnl for thena rensons. ‘The fact is that tho interests of the Government and thoso of the buainoss community generaily cun ouly be efficiontly promoted by an honest colisction of the Gov- ernment revenuos andan oconomical disburse- ment thereof, and to do this it is necessary to employ honost and compotent men who will have some other claim upon office than that of belonging to the rotinue of some ambitious politician. But all this is caleu. lated to break down the innchine, and hence the machine organ in Chicago thinks that the businesa fnterosts of tho Woat should bo permitted to suffer, and that the Govern- ment should submit to boing robbed, rather thau discharge political scamps from office, Mr, Cuanies FosTeR, one of the Republican membors of Congress from Oblo, whom the Democratic Legislaturo of that State Lias gerry- mandered out of & certainty of being returned, has boen talking with a reporter of the Cincine vaty Enquirer, and o the coilrse of the fnter- view occurred the followlug question ond anewer: **Yon thought the Porrzn investigation gave you a good hold for 8 ~|flumm campatgn?™ ** 80 it did until the adoption of that resolution offered by (he Judiciary Commiltee -afirming Havse' title.

But tho fact {s that the resolution adopted by the Houso shortly befurs adjournment, affirintng HAYZs' titlo to the ofiice, has uot allayed public npprehension to the oxtent that Mr, Fosten scems to think, The history of this PorTER business shows that it can have neother aim than to disturb the President, and tho way in which the Judiclary Committee's nuzatory resolution was adopted is not calculated to re- assuro the public. The Potrer resolution was originally ontertalned by 8peaker RawpaLn solely ou the ground that it related to the Pres- {dent’s office, and was, thoreforc, & question of the highest privilege, 8lnce BuTLER bas been permitted to assume tha control of the investi- gation, 1t has been levaled squarely at Presi- dent Taves, and no expedient has heen neglected to connect Ll with somo action upon which an attempt st his removal could be based. The resolution sdopted just before the adjournment of Coogress, dls- avowing any purpuse to disturb tho President in tho posscssion of his ofllce, was Insincore and hypocritical, The Democrats refuscd to asscat to this position when CasmY YOUNG proposed it, when ALEXANDER BTEPHCNS urged it, or when Canter HAksoN reuswed it. They only passed It when they found the whole conntry was {n a state of alarm, and whien they becsine convinced that they would lose a large number of the Congreasional olections which they hoped to carry unless thay disavowed thie purposs of attacking tho President's title. Iu other words, the resolution was mere buncombe for party advantage in the fall eampaign. 1f thisbun- comba should decelve tho peuple, If the Demeo- crats bavo sullictently quieted public apprehen- sion by thelr hypocrisy to elct a Iarge majority af the next Ilouse, with the control of the Sen- ate protty certaiuly assured to them, they would take no moro notlecof the Judiclary Committes’s resolution than they wouldof = rerolution declaring in-o general way against subsidics, The real Democratic purpose of the Porrer {nvestigation 13 now just as gonl a renson why patriotic and peace-loving citizens should vote agalnst Democratic candidates next 1all, a8 it was before the hypocritical resolution of dlsuvowal was pussedl. e — Vicror Iivao made a grand oratlon before the Tuternutiounl Literary Cougress in Parls at its opening seswion in the Chutelet Theatro, The weeting attracted o very brillfunt gathering of men aud women from all parts of tho world, and it was sald to be the most cosmopolitan as- seublage ever coavoned, The great orator was at his best, sud hero are some of his notablo sentences: An army of 2,000,000 of men passes away; the Thnd remains.
