The election in New Hampshire has set tled two things. It has removed the faint- est shadow of a doubt as to Grant's nomination at Philadelphia, and it) has proved that the Democratic party, acting by itself and according to its old ideas, has not the ghost of a chance for carrying the Presidential election, Last year Weston, the Democratic can- didate for Governor, did not get a majority of the votes, but as two outside candidates ran, the matter went to the Legislature, where Weston was chosen by a coalition between the Democratic and Labor Reform members. This result was due to the quarrel then pending in the Senate at Washington over the San Domingo job, in which Sena- tor Parrenson took sides with Mr. Sumwver. Mr, Parrenson’s friends were very cool during the campaign of last year, and Weston slipped into the Governor's cham- ber by the back door, He had not suM™- ent breadth of mind to comprehend the rituation, and his message to the Legisla- ture sounded as if it had been written in the days of Prank Prence. This year the Parrerson difficulty healed, and his friends worked hard for Straw, the Republican nominee, while the Convention which nominated Weston adopted a platform which would have was done very well for the epoch of James K, Pox. StRAW's majority is about one thousand five hundred. Grant got a mujority of seven thousand. The Demoeracy of the ite State w ina teachable frar of mind; the form Republicans will take the lead in the Pr ntest, and the combined forces will carry State in Novem! Who will be Nominated at Cincinnati? There are but three names prominently before t untry for the nomination to the Presiden y by the Cinetnnati Conven tion—LyMAx TRUMBULL, Davi Davis, and CHAnies Francis Apams, As the call for the Convention eame from the Liberal Re- publicans of Missouri, and as Gov. B. Gratz Buown is their recognized er, his name has been sometimes mentioned in con- nection with the Ciucinoath nomination. ov. Br wy is a progressive statesman and 4 thorough reforme and would make an able und honest Pre lent; but we believe we do not misrepresent his position in say- ing that he does not now wish to be regar wlasa competitor for the chief place on the Cincinnati tick The West, which takes the lead in this movement to redeem the country, will therefor bring before the Convention ator Trewpuss. and Judge Davis, Which of them will be likely to draw the greater support lo the ticket? In considering this question we must bear two things in mind: first, that the prime object of the movement is not merely to select an ucceptable candidate who will run, but to nominate a who can be elected; and see ondly, that though the combination which is to support him must be made up of political elements drawn from both the great parties, the Democrats are expected three-fourths of the voters in Ina word, the Cin to supply November nnati Con vention dos ontemplate the organiza tion of a third party hostile to each of the existing parti but it alms to practical coliperation between the mass of the Democracy and the lit reform Republicans, upon the » honest ground that those tially concur in opinion on the liv of the day ought to act together In this aspect of the case, let us cond the respective qualifications a Mr. Taemacns. and Judge Davis ' formation of the R lican party Mr. Treapece bad been a lead who vious to the ing Democrat of Hhnols, though of late years somewhat withdrawn { nm netive polities because he held a seat upon the bench of the Supreme Court, In the sum mer of Iso4 the act repealing the M i Compromise, commonly called the Ne- Draska bill, passed Ce ess, In the fall of that year Judge Trem uci. was elected t the Honse of Representatives by an alli ance between the Whigs anda large body of Democrats who had opposed the Ne- Draska bill, Inthe winter, and before he could take his seat in the House, he wa: chosen by the Ilinois Legislature, after a long struggle, and by a combination | tween the Whigs and the Anti-Nebrask Democrats, a Senator in Congress. In thi contest Mr, Lixconn was the regular Whig candidate, The Anti-Nebraska Democrat tood finn for Premnens, and finally 1 att e tillnow Mr, Taumpenr has Deen in the Seuate, Inthe very first fpeech he delivered in th ody heavowed bimself a Dem: i nd made a cogent defence of genuine t ratic principle In company with larg: sbers of men of like faith, he helped to organize the publican party, Dut though for the Re- lust seventeen years, 60 fruittul of great events he has been one of the leaders of that party, he has always maintained his jundependence, While cb some memorable ited reum ith put ext occasions he hi under ¢ this rare p that ts and hazarded cal virtue tances irage Cosevere te his standing among less conscientious par- tisans, Mr. TREMBULLS recent speech be fore the Senate in elucidation and def of the platform of the Liberal Republicans of Missouri proves that his political creed may be read in that exccllent summery of reformatory principles, Of his eminent ability, sterling Integrity, firmness of pur- pose, rare administrative talents, and ur flinching devotion to the Constitution as it js, no one who has known him and has marked his public carcer: makes any ques- tion Mr. Treseens. would of course be an ceptable candidate for the Reform Re- publicans, Why should he not be equally eoptable to the Democrats? We believe the only objection made to him by those Democrats who pr to fight the pend- ing battle on living issues is that he has taken so fetivea part in the recent hand- to-hand stragg or reform that he might not be quite so available as some man who is stipposed to sympathize with him in the conflict, but has kept himself awny from the fiercely-contested fleld, In an emer= gency like the present, we question the soundness of this doctrine, The coming Presidential campaign is to be uo ordinary conflict, The rank and file like to fellow a leader who, when the exigency demands it. is not afraid to go into the very thick of the encounter, We never heard that the Union armies or the Confederate forces thought any the less of Sirerrpan or JACKSON Deenuse, In trying crises, they incd in pell-mell at the head of the column, But, though a bold leader, Trew- WULL is never rash and heady, but is al- ways itious and wise; and we venture to say that for every vote he would put to hazard by these qualities, they would win him score Judge Dav man, a is an able man, a prudent man, and would make an ex- lent P: He is highly conserva- tive in his views, was always a Whig down to the time of the formation of the Repub- lican party, but was never much of a poli- tician, Deenuse, during the stormy years when the Republicans were fighting their earlier battles, he was on the bench of one of the Cireuit Courts of Mlino!s, For a great while he was the confidential friend of Mr. Lixcony, and he came with the President to Washington in the my winter of 1861, where he took an active part in the organization of the Cabinet, and was understood to have thrown his in- fluence against the introduction of Mr. Cnase and Mr. Moytcomeny Buarr among the counsellors of Mr. Lexcouy, Having great respect for his judi Mr. Lrxcoty placed him upon the Suprem bench, The objection to taking oe Davis f f Presidential candidate is not in regard to his talents and Integrity; but it springs from the fact that he has never made any itement, so far as we know, in respect to the living issues over which the pending contlict is to be fought. Does he accept the three amendments to the Constitution as ident. al abilities ud, valid parts of that instrument? We pre- sume he does, But these are dead testes, and there are only a few fools who believe that anything can be made for any party by trying to marshal their ghosts upon the fleld of battle, What docs he hold concern- ing the doctrines on live questions promul- gated by the Missouri Repub! and to give effect to which in the councils of the nation the Cin ati Convention is called ?

If this be true, and if the Ci ti Convention follows out this idea, and 1 nominating either Tremucns or Davis for President should turn to the Past fora candidate for the Vice-Presidency, upon whom could its eye fall with more pro- priety than Dr. Honack Gareney, the philanthropist and statesman, who did so much to build up the great party which RANT has done so much to pull down— the man whose name, familiar as a house hold word all over the land, would be a tower of strength in the conflict upon which we are about to enter?

Inthe list of proprie- tors of designated warehouses, the names of Lert & Stockixa did not appear. The follow- ing provision, however, appeared at the end of the order: “In addition to the wa Acents of ween this and any furelgn deni any bonded warehons trfet tm which ti eh all ninelal Wwely Will be sent; sea tn t FOL OF mehip or ne so dy App? which any. st ret.

This emissary ts re- ported to have said to Mr. Mackenzig, of the French line, that he echoed the sentiments of Collector ARTHUR, and that it was in the power of the Custom House to reciprocate such @ favor, He did not care about Mr. MACKENZIE glv- ing the business to Leer & STOCKING as a per- panency, and if he chose he might withdraw it in a few days, Fearful of incurring the displeasure of the Custom House authorities, Mr. MACKENZIE signed a letter to Collector ARTHUR, designating Leet & STOCKING's bonded warehouse as the one to which the unclatined goods of the Iino were to bo sent. Mr. Hunst, of the National line, was induced to sign by a similar method of persuasion, ‘The clause that * warehouses so designated shall not be changed except for cause” will of course prevent the steamship agents who have been persuaded to designate the warehouse of Leer, Srocktna & Co. from transferring their business to other warehouses. ‘Vhe order ts of @ plece with every pretended movement toward reform ever made by GRANT'S Administration, ‘The disclosures of Custom House corruption had so seriously damaged the prospects of the Administration that the Mili- tary Ring felt that a seemingly decisive step must be taken to prevent an overwhelming de- feat.
