Of the 191 delegates elected on Saturday, every one was presont. ‘There was no contest, save in the Twelfth Ward, whore the avats of s part of the delo- gation were in dispute, When tho Convention was called to order an attempt was made by the Chairman of the County Central Committee to appoint tho presiding officer. ‘This was properly objected to, and Mr. Elliott Anthony was elected Chatr- man by more than q two-thirds majority. A Committee on Credentints was then appoint- ed, whereupon the Grant faction, at this pre- Ihuinary stage of the proceedings, nbeconded from the hnll,—every man of them, to the umber of fifty-eight out of tho 191 members of the Convention, Thwy abandoneti the Con- yontiou by prearrangement, the leaders lay- ing determined upon that course on Satur day night when they discovored that thoy hd been disnstrously dofeated, After bolt- ing from the Convention, they marched off to the Demoeratlc headquarters at tho Demo- cratic Palmer Touse. : ‘Thero was not the slightest eause for such proceeding that any State Convention ever held would listen to for 2 moment, The Committee on Credontials had not acted or reported; the question of contested sents had not been reached; nothing had been atone in regard to appoluting delegates. ‘hoy had made no demand on tho Conyen- tion for any number of Grant delegates; they had been refused nothing, for the rea- son that the Convention was still in a forma- tive or Inchoate condition, and was gradually and by regular steps evolving itself into working order, ‘They ran away before they had preferred a grievance or know what ultimately might bedone, ‘They abandoned their seats before they were dented any- thing; before they liad asked for anything: before the Convention had even ascertained who Its own members were and who were entitled to seats. Aroll of the members remaining showed the presence of tho full delegations from twelve wards, anda third of the delegation from the Twelfth Ward, the others belng In contest, and from twenty-clght of the thirty- one townships, ‘The bolters liad carried out the delegates from five wards, and tha frac- tionat contestants of one ward, and three townships, The numerical strength of the Convention and of the bolters thus cum- pared: Members rematniug In tholr sents Bultiug mombers.. .

THE BOLT, MATHEMATICALLY CONSID- ERED, For the purpose of placing tho whole mat- tor in a aitshell before our readors, wo make the following statement of facts and figures: ta The Cook County Republican Convention consisted of 19% delegates, Their-preferonce for President before the bolt was as follows: For Banos , Antl-third-term., Tho Convention stool something over two- thirds (189 to 59) ngainst another term of Grant before tho Committee on Credentials had reported.

WILL GEN. GRANT WITHDRAW! There ig just one site and honorable escape for Gen, Grant from the scramble for the. Presidential nomination in which selfish and {nsincers friends have placed his nance, ‘Vhs fs a personnal withdrawal from a contest to which he has never yet givens public as- sent. he “Yhis suggestion will be hooted at by the Senatorial {nection which Is managing the third-term movement; and by all thelr blow- ors and strikers tliroighout the country. But” tho withdrawal of Gen. Grant Is, neverthe-, less, a very probable termination of the bitter ‘and desperate conflict now golng on, which threntens serlous dissonsions in the Repub- Mean parly. Indeed; it is not impossible that, before the meeting of tho Chiengo Con-, yentlon, this course nny be advised by the Senatorial Syndicate themselves In order to moke their influence count in the Nutlonal Convention. It will be remembored that, when tho third- term isste was befora the country In 1875, Gou. Grant, thon President, made no uttor- ance util the Pennsylvania Republican Convention declared emphatically agalnst it, "Thon he wrote Gen, Harry White, the Chair man of the Pennsylvaula Conyention, saying that he was not and would not be a candl- date, and that he would not accept the noml- nation if tondered to him, “unless it should come under such elreumstances as to make it an Imperative duty,—cireumatunees not Mkely to arise’? If Gen. Grant has been sllynt In the present thitd-term struggle, it fs fair to ussume that he hog been waiting to dotermiie for himself whether “circum stances” have arlsen which “ make ft an in- porntive duty” for him to go before the Con- yentlon for the Presidency. ‘The asstuned contidence of the third-term “boomers” has been calewlated to impress him with tho belief that ily nomination is de- minnded with something Hke unanimity by tho Republican party. But as the Republican States havo fallen away from the “boomers ono by one, as his own Stato promises to send & minjority ofdelogates to the National Convention on- posed te his third nomination, and as tho vory Congressional district in which he lives when st home will be agaluat a third term In the Chicago Convention, It will be strange if man of his shrewd perception shail not rec~ ognize tho deception that has been practleed upon him by those why have crowded them- gelves nearest to him, Whenover Gen, Grant shull make up his mind that his nomtnation {a not only not demanded by the country, but not even by # clear and umistakable major {ty of the party with which he has acted since the War, it will only be reasonable to expect from him a deojuration of the ganie character as that which he made fn 1873, Such an utterance will disposo of the third- term Jasue, unite the opubllcun’ party, and afford’ Gen. Grant an important Influence In the naming of the Republican candidate, if he chogses to exurcise It, It it be asaumed that the Chicago Conven- tion may possibly be carsled for Grant, that reault can only bu achieved by the enforce ment of Statesoverelgnty Justructions and unit rules, by the votes of. the delegates from the Sonthurn States which will not give hlin asiigle Electoral vote, and by a capture of the Hinois Convention Iu @ manner that will threaten ‘the Republicans with the loss of this Stato Iu the Presidential election, Are these “clreunistances” which would render it “an iaperative duty” for Gen. Grant to accept a nomination abtainod by machine lutluences and the suppression of the populur- gentiinont? 2 , Supnose Gen, Grant shall recelve and ‘accept the nomination mnder these condi- tlons, will It not be wyldgut to him that the struggle for bis election will bo desperate 1880—TWELVE PAGLEN. and hazardous, and that ho will bo exposed to the humillation of dofont ond the for- feiture of tho present exalted position he holds before the wortd ? Suppose, finally, Gen. Grant may be elect- eal in spite of tho terrible dissenston In nts own party which his nomination will create, will anything bo added to the brilltancy of his career? Will he hold any higher placein Atmeriean history after he shall havo been a party to the breaking of the unwritten law of the country? Willa third term be a boon, with » Senntorial clique clalining the rightto «lctato the distribution of the appointments, nnd the “old crowd” clninoring to be re- stored to power, on the ground that his noml- nation and election were dus to them ? After conceding ail that fs possible and all that is most finprobabto to the success of the third-term movement, no polutof view would svom to make the situation attractive to Gen, Grant, nor to make {t comport with Ils past utlorances and the high position he now oc- eunies as the first citizon of the Republic. All the notable circumstances in tho situa tlon indtente that Gen. Grant's withdrawal from a contest for which he fs not respons!- ble will redound to his popularity, his credit, and hls interest. Ie will thus acquire in history a renown for tho samo unselfish de- votion to his country which Washington en- Joys. The Republican party will owe hin s debt of gratitude for rescuing it from «is- sension which threatened to destroy It. Tho American people, without regard to party, will hold him {n the same unbounded esteem and admiration tht wera so Invishly mani- fested for him upon his return from his trip around the world. Ilo will enjoy a supreine senso of sceurtty In the place which he has carved out for liuself, Ilo will escape scetlonal, partisan, and factional strife. Ho willoceupy virtually the position of arbitrator in the counctls of hits party and the Nutton. "There Is no doubt that some distinctive piace will be conferred upon him which wilt assure him a fitting Income for life and the ease and comfort of honorable retirement. ‘This prospect fs certainty more attractive in every way than the desporate and dublous struggle which the third-term managers hold. out to him to further thelr personal Interests at the risk of his porgonal humiliation, If the opposition to Gon, Grant's nomina- tion wero in the nature of 9 personal antag- onisin, or merely in tho Interest of some rival candidate, his pride might be excited to continue the struggle to the Inst, But the struggle hag at no thie taken this direction. It is not Gen, Grant's personal merit nor his personal popularity that ts involved, but a repugnant and dangerous Issue of third- termisin which his nomination would impose upon the party, and tho malign influence upon the campaign which would be exerted by selfish and designing men who have fastened themselyes upon his fame, and whosa apparent. selfishness has awakened popitlar distrust, ence no feeling of prido and no ambition to prove hitself stronger than hig opponents cna legitimately intuence Gen. Grant. It rests with Gen, Grant to eliminate third- termism forever from American polities, aud the situation is such that he must be strongly temptod to thus add a new jewel to his crown of fame. .

Mr. Guuld bus quite a largo number of statesmen who ure ‘stugorlug under tonds of Missourl, Kansas & Texas, which ho kindly per> mitted thom tu take nt prices ubove 40, su that ho milubt bo less cmburussed In puttloy tho price dawn tod. une nena that they wore golpg to pigs Mr. Gould's bills for him, but dis- cover that tholr prosent funtion {s to curry Mr. Gould's stocks for him. When bis upples are rind, tw will shnke the treo, Legislative action in respect tu Paelfig Mail hag proved cqually Intercating.- Wher fierce investigation was de- visod to put the stock down, behold! tt ad- vanced. Whon an tnlintted subsidy bill was qepared to putit up, it immediately dropped, ico toxd, and, for convenicnco auke, it iy duubt- ful whether the noxt olcetion of officers hud not hotter be beld tu the Cupitol nt Washington, One other virtuous Dill was devised to block tho Canndn rallronds, tho Michignn Central, and tho Wabush, aud to help the Lake Shoro, but the men who sold the athor stocks "short" ut tha peiver. then ruling, and the men whe bought the Jatke Shore, cab compare notes and condole with ench othor, Jn short, uny attumpt to put any stouk down or up, by inewns of action in elthor House or its committees, hug resulted thus far in preelsely tho movement whieh "the gtites- uiin's pool” wid not deairo or expect. It may uitimntely ocour to speaulative legislators that Rtock-Jobl in legislation isa gun which kicks harder thin it shoots. It woul be better policy for the Connit- tee on Ways and Means to hotd an hour's session every morning for the offoring of “bills” to bull or bear the market. Fer- nando Wood as Chairman would fill the place of Moderator admirably. Stocks in woot-pulp mills, in galt compaules, in steel- yall conipantes, jn carpet: mills, in quinine mills, In nail mills, in woolen and cotton mills, might be affected by proposing bills, or, better, by’ votes of the Committee to ralse or reduco the tariff on the commodities pro- duced -by these corporations, Mr, Turd might be niade “ caller” forthe Committee, andintime quite a business might be built upbytho Committee, As tho Waysand Means Commlttes do no business,—that Is tu say, never get far enough to report a bill,—the opening ofasortof Stock Board would be only in the tne of thelr proceedings during tho Inst few months. The public anneunce- ment of tha formal opening and sessions‘of the stutesinan’s pout-room would, however, bo a now sensallon, and would draw a large attendance o day at the Capitol, THE GERMAN FREE TOWNS, Prince Bismarck has recently entered with characteristic energy upon another of those reforms whoso tendency It is to still further consolidate the German Empire, and this ts the abolition of the free cities like Hamburg, Bremen, and Lubeck, and thely incorpony tlon into the new Customs Union, The condition of these so-called free -clties for years has not only been an anachronism, but an nnomaly,—an anachronism, because they have been free In nothing.except as free ports; and an anomaly, because It is absurd that cities should exist In such a condition dua great Empire ke Germany by virtuo of tights granted then In the Middle Ages, the condition of things whieh exisied thon and warranted them not exiting now stall, In establishing: and consolidating the German Empire, tho’ unification of customs ts hardly secondary to that of polltics, and that three or’ four German elties should ba ex- empted from tari! regulations ‘fs hardly less absurd than it would be ta exempt thom from taxation or polllical alleglance to the Throne, Hitherto the great porls of Ham- burg awd Bremen have been as practically fsolated from the commercial regulutions of the Eniplre as Boston and New York. In substunce, they owe-no commurcial alle- glunee to Germany, and, to preseryo their fuerative forelyn trde with Englayl, they have divested thenisclyes gf all sympathy with German commerce, and, of course, have no intercat in Blamarck’s plans for the unity and Jneroase of German industry, It is a votleeablo feature of the situation that Bis marek 1s not moving alone In this matter, but has the sympathy and gupport of the great mass of the Uermuu people, who can- not see why this anomaly should be allowed to continuo any longer, du his movewent to compel Hamburg to como into the Zollverein, Bismarck has acted with groat shrewdness. ‘The western suburb of Hamburg 1s Bt, Paull, which {s closely bound to Hamburg, and‘ has a large sliare of {ts colamerco; but it fa nota partof tho old elty, consequantly ho has the right to Include it within the Zollveroin. By doing this ho would establish 9 Custom-Zlouso frontier bo- tween one partof thecityand another, which, of course, would {nvolye such a complicated rouline and such endless and Irritating de- | bis crowd as soon ns {twas decid Inys and petty annoyances to the thousands who go from one to tho other thnt It could not be endured aweek, Tho Philadelphia Press, (n disenssing the subject, says: In 1842 the very tian of Hamburg who aro now Sapprsad td be in oxtremis willingly: rae sed the very thing which [’rusala is ow al of tholr rights,—and thoy can now hardly com- Iain, Another ipolat eihge Hamburg (y that ue Elbe begins in Prussian territory and tows for past Hamburg, yet Hamburg has the right of oath anoce free TA neh no uther | tho third-tormers had remained tn reculving goods free of duty, which town has, ‘This involves an olabornte storage ayatom inefdent to the payment of tho customs ta id Uetora thoy Ieavo the flues which must be pal town, which syatom is somowhat ntalagous to our bonded-warchouse system. THambury now pays considerably over balf a tnililun dollars to the Zollverein or {ts successor, the Empire, for tho prisilegcot Kocping ita old rights. | Ths stn it will of course sanyo, besides tho bothor of tho cuatonis dutics. ‘Thero is no valid reason why these towns should be allowed to remaln:commerelally outside the German Empire and untniluenced by Its legislation, except the prite and greed of thelr people, and every ‘renson tending towards the commercial prosperity of the Empire why they should be made to como into the Zollverein, Their real position enn bo appreciated by tha American people if they can imagine Boston and Now York en- lirely independent of any commercial alle giance to the restof the country, and oxempt from Congresstonal legislation In business matters, Itisan anomaly that never would } laino—Towns.. be endured, and there fs no more.reason why it should extst In Germany than In this coun- try. ‘Tho only really aggticved party seems to bo England, which sees in Prince Bls- marck’s action the loss of the flourishing trade with the Continent which she now car- rleson through these free ports. Thatis inatter of little consequence, however, in comparison with the business necessitles of the German Empire, since tho unity of na- tional industry and commerce Js one of the most important elements of that prosperity. ene ‘Tne sturdy independence of tle Wiscon- aln Republicans 1g to be admired, and thelr deflant attitude towarda self-appointed political bosses fa worthy of tho warmest commendation, ‘Tho nachino does not work woll in that rolin- ble Republican State, and the mnuly action of tho Into Convention In appointing delegates ta in striking contrast with what bas taken place Jn Pounsylvania and New York under the dicta- tion of Cameron and Conkling. Gov. Smith and nll the Republican delegation in Congress from ‘Wisconsin, except Mr. Wiiliums, from the First District, had long ago proclaimed thoir profer- ence for the third-term ‘heresy, and twico In his debates with Sonator Blaine Mr. Matt Carpen- ter had offensively dcolared .bis attuch- ment to the pollticn! fortunes of Gon. Grant. So, too, in a private way bad Senator Angus Cameron ant Messrs. Hazelton, Caswell, Humphrey, and Pound, of the House, Before the Convention mot tt was even ostentatiously given out by the third-term advo- cates that Scnator Carpenter would be chosen a delegate-at-largo and would bullitdzo the wholo crowd for Grant in the Chicago Convention. It fs suspectod that Gov. Pound's sudden appear ance in Wisconsin, like John Logan’s iu Bllnols, was for tho solu purposcof Instructing the dele- gates to the State Convention how to vote, what gontlemen to sclvot tu represent tho State In Chicago, and to bayo tho, delegates properly bound hand and foot with third-term instric- tions. If that was Pound's mission at Madison. on the bth of May, and 'f ho loft bis sout in Con- gresa at tho request of hia colleagues (pore hups thoy onst lots to see who should go), he must rétura to Washington sadder and a wiser man,—hbia skdness “being ‘canded’ by tho ‘glgnal falluro of his nilssion, and his wisdoi be- ing the outgrowth of the better knowledge be has galned of tho Intelligence and judependence of tho Stulwart Wisconsin Hepublicang. Bir. Carpenter will not bend the delegation in tho National Republican Convantion, and Col. Bry- unt, of the First District, the only third-termier, has declared that he is“ publicly for Grant, but privately for Washburne.” In other words, be- ing an ex-soldier, he personnlly profers his old commander, while he knows Uist the nomina- tion of another porson would be infinitly pref- eruble tou large majority of the rank and filo of tno domfnant party, But. tho machine ia smashed in tho JadgerState, and a large-sized flon put In’ tho enr of each of the would- be bosses. It is refreshing and roassuring to turn to tho herole conduct of such a people uftor witnessing tho abject cowurdico ana pusiiianimity that bas boon exhibited in’ othor sections.

A spreran dispatch sent Saturday night from here to the Cinchinatl Commercial respect ing the result of the Republican primaries con- talus the fulluwing bit of information; Tho Grant mon are yory sore over tho result, declaring that thoy will_buve control of the or gunizution of the County Convention, and if out- voted will gend w contesting delegution to Spring- Held, and, having a majority from tho outuide, their delegation will be iutmitted. This ts thought to be only wind, and impoxsiblo of exo- ctition, They attempted to deccive tho voters to-day by tickots npecoring to bo for Waxh- burne, of Grant and Washburne, but in reality for Grant, The action of the benten faction yesterday shows that thoy resolved on Saturday night to bolt the Convention and go through tho farce of sonding asccond delegntion of sluon-pure third- termers to Springiletd, Tholy little game was * Hends I win, tails yott tose? But they bolted prematurely, They absconded from the Con- vention before they had a grievance; before tt hid tikon any action; before the Committeo on. Credentials bad acted or reported; before any plan was proposed oradopted for the selection or Apportionment of delegutes to Springiteld, They do not know how tho delegates to Springfield would have beon apportioned, bee eause thoy absconded prior to any action of the Convontion, After they had run off thore were nu Urnntites in the Convention to usk for Grant delegates.

On this principle they have con- ducted tholr campalgn nl over tho, State, In nll counties whero they obtained controlof tho Convention thoy took all the doleyutos, while in tho antl-third-torm counties they bugged and coaxed foradivision of the delegutes; and ja Couk County, whero thoy failed to secure con- trol, thoy bolted In advance, aud set up a rump Convention of Mty-elght delegutes out of a Convention of 190; and thoy have tho sublime {mpudence to publicly clus that the State Con- vention will reject the regulura representing tho overwhelining majority and admit tho bolt+ {ng minority, Not unlogs the Convention ta golng Into tho bombshell buainess and lutends to explode the opublican purty.” ———_——_ Tuxse are somo of the men, delegntes In the regular Cook County Convention, who were denounced yesterday by tho third-torm News and by speakers in tho Palmer House gorohead Inceting as “thugs” and " blaoklesa'"s Q.
