Legisiation fn both THouses was almost Fuspended, and Senators and Congressmen rushed about in a rather undignified, pchool: boy fashion with tally-sheets and ponell to copy from tho bulletin bourds, Senator Blaine was in tla placo in the Senate Chamber when the first bulletin of the voto arrived, and oviuced some surprise at not haying received a larger yote. ‘The othor votes tho Senator reeclved in his own Hbeary, where ho was surrountedt by his family and friends. Seeretary Sherman. ro- celved the intelligence of his small vote with np- parent unconcern, and nat Inst necounts was waiting, Mieawber like, for somothing to turn. up.

Delay nnd non-netion have seemed to bo thelr policy from the begiuning, and that policy can have no expectation save that of compelling the majority te accept the wninority vandidate, Let us inquire what willbe the probable result of tho ulthnute suecess of this weurying-out poliey in tho hominatton of Gen, Grant. 'The first effect upon the Republican party of the country would be of a paralyzing char- neter,—something Hke the stunning sensa- tion which ono fs Mkely to experience amid the ruins of a falling building, After the Orst feellng of pain and regrot shall have expended {ts force, and that of In- dignation follows, there wlll be a general declaration by the German Republleans of the whole country of condemmation of the netion of the Convention, and clear, firm, and determined resolutions asserting: thelr pur- pose to withhold thelr votes from Gen. Grant, ‘Tho objection of this large class of voters— equal to the change of the, Electoral yote In several of the Republican States 13 not sentimental, but is of tho most substantial character, ‘They will hover vote to npprove a third term, tor will they vote to “yindieate” the corruption, dis- honesty, and Exceutive weakness that have unde the second term of Gen. Grant's Ad- mhilstratlon a Nattonal scandal, ‘I'he re- solves and declarations of these German yoters of New York, Ohio, Wisvonsin, In- dona, UW tnols, and Michigan, founded upon the deep conyietions of duty and self-respect, onee declared will bo adhered to from tho first to tho Inst. Following close upon this declaration of deep-rooted and inilexible hostility to Gen, Grant’s election by tho German citizens of the country, will be the equally earnest and equally determined: union of | Republiean voters of othor classes, presenting before tho country the already too fuuiliar story of the robberies, organized and systematic frauds, aud absonce of offlelal morality that marked the Tdministration of the Government from 157) te 1577; and tho evils, the dangers, and thé wanton violenco to Natlonal tradition re sulting fromthe attempt to break down dio anti-third-term prohibition. Out of tits will grow probably w movement looking to the nomination ot third eandidate to be sap ported by Republican voters, ‘The Democratic Convention will meet and make {ts nominations before the month of dune hag closed, ££ that Convention shall nominate weak and objectionuble candidates, thon the movement for a third ticket will take formal and determined shape; tf, howe ever, the Democratic Convention shall nomi nate honest and faly men of ability and free of all talut iu thelr record, the movement for N third tUcket will probably go no further than the protest agalnat Grant's candidacy, tho muss of the disappointed, alarmed, and indignint Ropublleans voting directly for tho Democrutie candidates. What will be the character of the cam- palgn? From the beginutng to the end the Republicans will be on the defensive, Mr, Conkling will personally enter "the eanvass in behalf and defense of tho candidate, It will be his ticket, and Its greatest recom miwndation to hin will be the very objections which make it so offensive togo great a pore tlon of the Kopubifcan party, In this State Mr, Logan will do his best, and $1 Wiscon- sin Carpentor will ‘champion the cause, For the first time in the history o€ American elections the newspaper press will exereise no Induenee upon public opinion in favor of the Republican party, Jt may, and doubt- tess will, endeavor to impress the public with the Idea that any Republican wil! bo better than any Democrat, but Unis will tail toconyince any person who has made up Iits mind to opposo Grant's election that tt ts destrablo to elect him under any elreums stances, ‘The intelilgent cinsses of Repnb- Means who will array themselves against his election will not by convinced that It fs desir able to break down the antttilrd-term law, or desirable to restore to power tho Prest- dent and the men who shared with him the disgraces of Grant's second torn. Of course there will bo nany who, between the date of the nomination and the date of the elvetlot, will reeant their opposition to Grant to the extent of unwillingly agreeing to yote for him, but tho aggressive war ownged with relentless vigor by the Democratic party and by thou- sands of ablo and futelligent Republic ans, particularly In the doubtful States, wilt have Its effect upon those compellea to an exclusively defensive campaign, Of what will bo the result of an election held five mouths hence, we forbear to speak. Tha situation following Grant's nomination must he obvious to every man in the Convention. If the success of the Republican party {3 the end sought, what must be thought of thosa who perll the purty In the country by per alstently forelng upon the party such acandl- date at such n time as this? ——_—_——— 3088" CONKLING'S TRIBULATIONS, “Boss” Conkling ts the only member of the Senatorial Syndieate who hns retained his domineering style tn the Convontion, The two others have subsided. Cameron illekered out the moment his function ceased. us Chairman of the National Committes; he has not been heard from since Mr. Hoar assunied the Chair, Logan has reared 1s gently a3 0 sucking dove over sinco tho eighteen district delegates were admitted in pluce of the bogus fellows of his own np- pointment, Conkling alone has strutted and sneered; and he made himself unneces- sarily offensive yesterday upon overy yossl- bie ocensfon. Iu begun the day by endeavoring to in- struct the Chair ns to the rules, Because ho begrudged the Blaine site a motion to begin. tho balloting, which was made by Mr. Male, he disputed the regularity of such a motion, When ho was properly rebuked for this In- terference he sought to make a polnt by see onding the motion which he hnd endeavored tu putdown, He took an unfair advantage when the State of New York was called on the first ballot, Under tho rules, it was his duty as Chairman to announce the vote of the delegation, and a call of tha delegates was only In order when the nlinouncement should be disputed. Instead of taking this course, he insisted from the first thatfheNew York delegates should be called by name. The Chair, with singularindulgence, allowed Mr. Conkling to have his way, This trick— for Jt was aclear evasion of tho rules—re- sulted In giving Grant perhaps three or four more yotes fram New York than ho could have obtalned In regular form, ‘The “ Boss Was thus enabled to cxerclse his authority over the Individual delegates from Now York who had not already assorted their iu- dependence, From this timo on “Buss” Conkling did Not lose nn opportunity for obtruding. him- self upon the Convention, When he an- nortneed the voteof New York, it was always with some show of contempt for those who refused to yote under his dictation, Ho would say, “Lam informed that two dele- Gates yotu for Sherman and eighteen for Blaine, and L know fifty vote for Grant,’— or some such puerile expression of resent- Ment at tho partial loss of his power. Lato in tho evening he called fora division ona vote to adjourn before the Chairman had an nounced his decision, When the Chairman {nfornled hin that the Chair had not yot ux- pressed au optnion, he retorted, “But J have,” a8 though he were the supreme power Jn the Convention, Conkling's petulaneo did not esenpe re- buke. Tho Chairman of the Weat Virginin delegation retaliated by reporting ono for Grant and oight for Blaine in Imitation of Conkling’s manner, and It brought down the house. Soon after it was notived thut Conk- ling delegated to some one elso tho an- nuuncejnent of the New York vote. He suf- fered defeat, too, in tho vote upon adjourn- incnt. He evidently feared some comblna- tlon against the third-term enndidate during the night, and he resisted tha motlon to ad- journ. But he could only command 98 votes agalnst it, which represented about the full strength of Grant’s supporters Inst night, It {sa matter of surprise to the Independ- out people of the West how a man of Conk Mng’s bearing and manner can retain ao large afollowlng, Not even elght yenrs’ control of the patronage, such as he enjoyed during Grants two terms, would havo enabled bhi to ford {¢ over tho yeomanry of this suctionot the country, Whatever the outcome of this Convention may be, Mr. Conkling’s popuinri- ty will not have been extended by his Chi- cago performuatices, Much might have been forgiven him in consideration of the aunse of defeat which has been welghing down upon hit, but he has carried his artogancoe beyond all excusable bounds, THE BALLOTING FYROM THE TOP SEAT. ‘The first session of tho Convention's work yesterday was not particularly lively from the nltitudo of tho top seat. Prior to the call to order, however, tho band took a different view of the situation, and blow lustily on alrs from opera bouffe, and finally wound up with the ennoan from La Belle Helene,” which was somewhat Incongruoualy and abruptly followed by prayer, the Grant crowd for once restraining from their usunl applauge, Perhaps tt was on this nceount that the Chair- nan deemed ft an opportune thne to make a speech to tho Gran members and to the Grant crowd 1n tho gallery, demanding that they should restrain tholr indecent and Inde vorous nolge during the balloting and have womie regard to the dignity and propriety of the oceusion, The rebuke was 9 pertinent one, and the Grant mob must have felt tts foreo, for up to the revess thoy made no dis. bins of nolse, nor did thoy undertake te bull- 020, ‘The balloting began at once, and up to tho eluhteenth vote was as Interesting as tho licking of a pendulum and quite as monot- onous, varied here and thero by the dark horses who trotted acroas tho scene and made graceful exits; by n slight break on the eighth, when Blaine galned two Sherman Votes; on the fifteenth, whon Grant gained four votes, upon whieh the Grant crowd at- tempted another’ demonstration of howl, which was checked by tho tndignant Chatr mun; and by tho loss of one of Conkilug'’s yotea on tho seventeenth, which so enraged tho Boss that he poltud tho yotu of the State to diseover the traitor, who turned out to bo Denis McCarthy, the great salt-boller of Syracuse, who had dared to disobey the ma chine and vote for Blaine, And thon came the recess, which was agreeable to the man on tho top seat, as the sat was getting hard, pud at that altitude the monotonous elng- song of tho Sceretary had aroused {n hin ne hfs nelghbors un ardent dosire to slay tim, ' du tho eventug the band again addressed Itself to opera bouffe, and was apparently the only cheerful body in the building. , Our report tells -the story, ‘l'on more ballota, with insignificant yarintions Indicating noth- ing.—the oudience, however, trying to got some comfort ontof a change of one or two votes, and tho Grant factlon lustily ap- Diauding whenever Conkling gave thom tho signal. Tho noticeable feature in the voting was that every candidate, with the exception of Washburne, nt some time during tho day fell below the figures atwhieh ho started, Mr, Washburno started at 90, for the next six ballots kept at 31, for the. noxt four at 89, the noxt two att, the next 38, the noxt three 34, the noxt two 35, the next 82, the next three 35, and so on, closing at 35, It was noticeable also In the ballot on the fina) ad- Journment that all tho Grant men voted no oxeept those from South Carolina, twelve {1 mumber, who voted nye. How long docs thelr contract run? Only foroneday? And when the summons came to join the innu- inernble caravan whieh proceeded out of tho Exposttton Building, tha man on the top sent mentally voted aye for a lurgu delegation and awent home and spent the night, probably like thousands of othors, mechanically calling off tho names of the States and Territorloa and footing up scores In dreamland, HOW THE GOVERNMENT MAY AID POP- ULAR EDUCATION, In the Repubitean platform which has been adopted by the Chicago Convention are tho two following resolutions relating to public edueation: 8, The work of popular education {8 one loft totho cnre of tho sovernl Stntes, but it is tho dutyof tho National Government to ald that Work to the oxtent of ita constitutional ability, ‘Tho intelligence of tho Nation Is but the negro- gate of the intolligencoin the sevoral States, and tho destiny of tha Nation must bo guided, not by the genius of .any ono State, but bythe average genius of all. 4, ‘he Constitution wisely forbids Congress to minke any law res} eotine fn establishment of religion, but it isidie tohape that tho Nation ean be protected against the Influonco of seota~ rianism while each Stuto is exposed to its dome fuution. We thorofore recommend that tho Constitution be so amended as to lay the samo prohibition tipon the Legisinture of enoh State, and Lo forbid the appropriation of public funds to tho support of svoturian schools, Taken together theso two resolutions Indi- cate a purpose that the Natlonal Government shall undertake a practical system for aiding the public schools, which hnye heretofore beun sustained exciusively by State and local effort. The constitutional amendment do- manded by the second of the foregoing reso- lutions fs an essential condition precedent to any such project. The General Government cannot consistently contribute one dollar to the ald of a public-school system under tho control of tho State Governments axcept upon an absolute assurance that no portion thereof shall be used for sectarian purposes. ‘The language of tue first of the sbove reso- Intlons recites that itis the duty of the Na- tional Government to aid that work {viz.: popular education] to theextent of its constl- tutional ability.” Congress has already ap- Propriated lands forgducational purposes, If such appropriation be constitutional, It must likewlse be im the power of Congress to appropriate money or taxes. In this viow of the cnse it becomes & question of ox- pediency. ‘There is no longer any doubt that education is 9 valuable auxiliary to good eltizenship. It is equally certain that the Southorn States ara suffering from a lainent- able deficiency in common-school facilities. The material prosperity of the Nation would bo immensurably increased if the public- school system in every section of the country were ng broad and comprehensive as St is, for instance, In the State of Itinols, How can the benofits of popular education be equally distributed at a proper and equit- able adjustmont of tho cost? Manifestly through the agency of the Natlonal Govern- nent, Tue Trimune’s plan for attaining this now blessing of popular govornment was pro- posed some months sinco, and tho revival tiereof now would scom to bo timely. itis to draw upon the consumers of lquors for the chic maintenance,of freo schools, Tho tax on spirits ylelded to tha Government $50,420,816 In 1878; the revenne from beor and ale during the same year was $9,037,052, In round numbers, whisky and beer yleld now an annual revenue of $60,000,000, and the ainount will grow fn pace with the futuro growth of population. ‘This plon fs entirely feasible. ‘Tho interest charge hing beon reduced from $150,000,000 to $89,000,000, and will be further reduced to $75,000,000 within the next year. After al- lowing for the comparatively small reduction in taxes, there will bo a surplus revenue of about $60,000,000, or about the anount de- rived froin the tax on spirits and beer, ‘This surplus revenue, Jf permitted to remain, would bo s temptation to extravagance or new subsidy schemes, If taxation wero still furthor reduced, it would result in the abate- ment of tho taxes on whisky and tobacco, which are not oppressive upon any cluss. Hienco it Is wiser that the surplus revenuo should bo applied to the work of popular ed- ueatlon, as suggested by the Republican plat- form in offect, ‘ ‘ The popular support of such a project may be counted upon because It would re- lieve the peoplo fn equal proportions of tho local taxes they now pay for tho support of thoschools, If tha revenun from spirits and fermented tquors be $60,000,000 a year, it amounts toavout $t per enrolled pupil. If de- voted to the free svhools, !t would relteve the farmers and house-owners of this State of about four iniillons of taxes every year which they now pay out of thelr pockets to the State, district, and clty achool funds, Tho people of Iiinols would thus save the annual interost at 4 per cent on $100,000,000, and the people of Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Wis- conain, Kansas, Nubraska, Minnesota, and all the other, States would, mako a similar saving in proportion to tnelr nutnbers. This sixty million fund would bo sufliclent to pny tho teachers In nine-tenths of the suhool districts of the whole United States for teaching seven to nine months o your, It would leave to ba raised by taxes enough to build and repair school-houses and provide fuc! for the cold weather, Tho rellof to the taxpayers of the country would bo very great, and the Natlonal fund would bo tmmensely pepular. ‘There could be no sectional strife over such an allotment of the tax on Nquors, bocausc the burden would fall upon tho drinkers In the North and South, inthe East and West, in proportion to the extent of their consumption. Tho bonefits that would scernofrom the universal spread of information would be enjoyed by the Nation as a whole o§ well aa by all ita parts, ‘There would bea gort of compensatory Jus- tice In such a distribution of the tax on whis- ky aml beer, ‘To tho extent that the con- sumption'of Iquors is an evil tat cannot bo cured by political methods, ft would be made to atone by ‘a notuble contribution to the cnuse of education and good citizenship, Practical sworallsts could uot refuse to ap- prove of such a disposal of the revenues do- rived from the consumption of Mquor, The tax on whisky and beer ts not really a com- pulsory tribute levied upon the people, be- cuuse It Is volunturlly pald by every person who voluntarily takes a drink or asks a friend to, join hlin In drinking, ‘The obylous distribution of un annual Gov- ernment school fund would bo among the States on a basis of population aa ascertained every ten years by the National census, and under the supervision of a National Board of Education, Such a distribution would, of course, be accompanied by conditions, the most important of which would be those: (1) That no part of the Government fund’ should be used for thé construction of school buildings or purchase of school property, JUNE 8, which would furnish States, politiclans, and ringsters with an opportunity for squander- Ing the money In Jobs; (3) that the apportion tment for each Stata shoult be distributed among tho different achool districts for the payment of teachers and the current ex- penses of the schools; and (8) tat the public schools should be absolutely free, fmpartial, and universal, open to all children between the ages of 5 and 81 years, without distinction of erced, color, race, previous or present con- dun. The rich and the peor, the white and tho black, the native and the forelgn born, the Catholic, Protestant, Jew, and Free ‘Thinker, the Northerner and the Southerner, should all enjoy the ald and advantages of Sich a system, In the resolutions adopted this year tho Republican party has made a great stride toward the position taken by Tau Trmune, and the proposed constitutional amendment forbittding the appropriation of any public funds to tho support of scctarian schools is all that is needed to. render the scheme practicable and destrablo, 130. NATIONAL CONVENTIONS, ‘The number of ballots In the various pollt- {eal conventions held in this country may have some interest to the general reader at tlils time. ‘The first Convention of thia kind was held In Baltlmore in May, 1832, by the Democrats, to nominate neandidate for Vice- President,~Gen, Jackson belng the accopted eandidate for President, ‘Tho two-third rule was ntopted, but: thero was only ono ballot, Von Buren receiving tho required vote, The National Republican (afterwards: Whig) party hold a Convention in Baltimore In December, 1831, and by unanimous vote nominated Henry Clay for Presidont and John Sergeant for Vice-President. Tho whole number of delegates present was 157.
