M. to 8 P. M. —— A Straight Democratic Nomination The following persons and classes of per- sons are in favor of a straight Democratic nomination for President by the Baltimore Convention. Their opinions on that sub- ject are certainly entitled to the grave consideration of the Democratic purty, and we are pretty confident the delegates to Baltimore will estimate them at their true value. Gen, Grant, though reticent on most questions, does not hesitate to declare that It would be a base sacrifice of principle for the Democracy to refrain from putting a straight candidate on the track this fall. Scuvuyter CoLrax holds the same opin- lon now, though it is not quite clear what view of the situation he will take if Wi1- fon beats him at Philadelphia, ‘To-day Henry Witson thinks the Demo- erats will be great fools not to take advan- tage of the split in the Republican party aud run in a candidate of their own; though what will be his opinion next Thursday is not so certain. The Hon, Tom Munrny favors the nomi- nation of a Democratic old-liner, beeause he fears the contrary course may ulti mately depreciate the value of cottage property at Long Branch. Rosrson and Secor, Carswert and Cnorrensixa, have no doubt that a straight Democratic ticket is necessary to protect the United States Treasury aguinst peculators and swindlers, The whole Dent family and all their re- latives are unanimously of the same way of thinking. These, or some of their agents, feel so much on this subject that it would got be surprising to And them tn the lobby at Baitimore. Bancock, Porrrr, and Leet are zeaiou In support of a straight Democratic ticket, while Morton, ConKLING, and CHANDLER are amazed at the stupidity ef those Demos same light. All the collectors of customs, all the in- ternal revenue officers, and all the post- masters feel that the time has come when the Democracy must show their stern ad- herence to principle by putting # straight candidate in the field, Every Republican who doesn't like Sum- 8En’s anti-Cwsar speech says that the only chance the Democrats have for beating Granvis to bi'ug out an old Bourbon at Baltimore. All the Republicans who detest Scrtunz for his exposures of the French arms swindle wonder that all the Germans don't clamor for a straight Democratic ticket. The Miliniry Ring, he “San” DoMiNigs Ring, the Indian Ring, and the SenecaSand- stone Ring feel so solicitous on this subject that they intend to send representatives to Baltimore to aid in keeping the Democracy straight. The London daily Times exhibits even more than its usual ability and zeal in ad- vocating an old-fashioned Presidential nomination by the Democracy. So does the New York daily Times, So does the New York daily World. Among the men of calm judgment who have declared in favor of this policy, and whose lead the Democracy have foundit so profitable to follow for the past dozen years, we need only name the Hon. Da W. Voonters and the Hon, H. Srerurss, We might swell this list; but is not the foregoing sufficient to induce Democrats to throw Dr. Gre y overboard at Balti- more, and put the helm of the party in the hands of a pilot who will be sure to vir ship straight on the rocks for the ALEXANDER fourth tinte? ee Sargent’s Goat Island Job. The mere th rhly the motives of th Central Pacific Railroad Company in seek- ing possession of Goat Island in San Fran- cisco harbor are Investigated, the more in- defensible appears the stupendous job which its agents in Congress are en- deavoring to carry through, The natural indignation of the Culifornians against Bancenr, the principal engineer of this scheme, for his action in the matter, is heightened by the misrepresentations to Which he resorted in order to mislead the House of Representatives in y to the true bearings e he was ad- Vvocuting, thus adding perversion of the truth to bis treachery to the interests of the State he pretends to represent, In the discussion which took plice in the be mensu louse while the Goat Island bill was pending in that branch of Congress, Mr. Sancenv occupied an anomalous position, He assumed to be a representative of the people of California, and a fair witness as to the condition of affairs in that State; whereas in reality he was the tool of a huge monopoly which was endeavoring to fuilict w deadly injury on the interests of his constituents, at the expense of the country at large; and in furtherance of the designs of this monopoly be availed him- self of his position as the uominal repre sentative of the people, not only to mis: represent he Wishes of that people, but to Give currency to Unjust charges seriously affecting their reputation and caleuluted to injure their commercial interests aud material prosperity The demands of the Central road in relation toa grant of Goat Islnd have beer pushed with adegree of inso- lence without parallel in the history of Congresional jobbery, This is probably Pacific Rail- the result of confiding the management of their case toa man who 18 as coarse and unfortunate in his manner as he is un- scrupulous in the use of means; and whose obtuseness is such that he frequently in- jures the cause he intends to serve by his conspicuous disregard of the nicer proprie- ties which usually govern the course of gentlemen bolding positions of dignity— manifestations of lax morality and bad taste, which very likely result from defec- tive moral perceptions and want of cultiva- tion, rather than from bad intention, It is probably owing to this person's advice that the serious blunder has been made by the railroad party of stigmatiz- ing the people of San Francisco as a set of grasping monopolists, who wish to levy tribute on the entire commerce of the Pacific ocean for all time, and of making false representations, which were sure to be exposed, in relation to taxes on com- merce imposed by the public officials of Sun Francisco, The circulation of such slanders under the encouragement of ao pretended representutive of California in- terests is so gross an impropriety that it at once creates sympathy in unprejudiced minds, and excites suspicions which other- wise might never have been awakened, While it was urged in Congress that San Francisco was levying exorbitant taxes on the commerce of the country, the agents of the Central Pacific Railroad, in and out of Congress, knew perfectly well that that city had been petitioning the Legislature year after year to order reductions of wharfage, dockage, and tolls, and they further knew that the city had succeeded in securing reductions of fifty per cent. in harbor charges. And yet they used the old prices, fixed by the State, and not the city, in arguinent against San Francisco, and exaggerated these charges besides. The city is able and willing to take charge of its wharves and docks, and make the port as cheap as any in the world; but if the con- trary were true, and if San Francisco was as exacting as bas been charged, the ex- quisite folly of supposing that such a state of afairs would be improved by placing the commerce of the Pacific at the mercy of asingle railroad corporation is too ob- vious to impose for an instant upon any person of ordinary intelligence. The truth of the whole matter appears to be that the Central Pacific Railroad Company, having built up a vast mouopoly of routes and privileges, aud gained the control of every railroad and steamboat line centring at the bay of San Francisco, the only port on the Pacifico coast of the United States for thirteen hundred miles, now wishes to monopolize the warehouse business also, and to build up @ rival city to San Francisco om ground whieh tt is begging from the United States. {t asks our Government to give it an island re- quired for military purposes, in order that it may make enormous profits at the ex- pense of San Francisco, and control, be- yond the power of competition, the com- meree of the Pacific. A more impudent demand was never made, and if its real purpose had been fully understood, the Goat Island bill could never have passed the House. A desperate effort will be made to rush it through the Senate, but now that the character of Che measure aud of tis nd- vocates has been fully exposed, that body will scarcely dare to defy publi opinion # far as to permit the consummation of the job. ? « Question of Ifonesty. ~* Is it possible that Groncr M. Roveson can have becn honest when he paid the Srcons $93,000 after they had already been paid in fullof all claims under a special act of Congress? In his report upon this subject Gov, Bat of Michigan speaks as follows That this payment was not only without law, but in direct violation, there is no doubt whatever, It took owt of the treasury $93,000, against the prohibition of a plain statute, and gave it to parties to whom the Government owed nothing.” As for the motive which led Ronson to take this $93,000 out of the treasury, against the prohibition of a plain statute, aud give it to parties to whom the Gov- ernment owed nothing, the following auswers of the Hon. Gipron WeLLes, when questioned By Ropgson himself, should be cousidered : ™ Ropeson—Now T want to know whether you said anything in that letter ab Aybody re ceiving « Chrlstinas preseut—the Secretary or a aay ir.

At some retainer in the shape of @ Carisumas pi nt was given to this fascinating widow, and just oue week later the $1,000 was turned over To Secor.” Inasmuch as the then Mrs. AULICK 18 now Mrs, ROMESON, It is to be presumed that her tothucnce to th y Department was cousider- able. It will be remembered that no reference to this lady was made by Mr, Dana's coun- selorany of his witnesses before the In- vestigating Committee, nor was anything id about her in the columns of Tue SUN, until Mr. WeLLes's testimony was pub lished; and that testimony he out by Roveson himself, aud remains un- disputed, Aiter this can there be any question as to Rougson’s personal honesty ? was brou Honor to John Lanahan, When Joun LANAWAaN discovered that there were great’ irregularities ino the Methodist Book Concern, he acted Like ap bonest man, and at pveuled the fuct to those most interested in the right conduct of that great establishment, in reply bo was ussailed with all the animos- ity naturally excited by the revelation jiu those vespousible for the exist- ence of such a state of things; apd from that day until now he ed in w desperate struggle to maintain: the truth against the power and money des voted to maintaining hes and puting the truth down iu disgiace, However, LANAHAN persisted bravely, and the General Conference have now des (ormined that bis charges were true, and that the irregularities, (rauds, and robe which be bad detected were mat- ters of fact and not of imagination, In compliance with his advice those whe have abused their great trust in the Book Con- nee has been engi beries cern have been dismissed from their ste ardship, and other men more competent and, we doubt not, of more scrupulous honesty have been put in their places, This is a victory for Dr. LANAWAN and for the truth, and he may well feel that his devoted labors and fearless efforts have not been put forth in vain, It is true that while the memory of these efforts is so re- cent there is a considerable party in the Methodist Church who cannot appreciate his great services; but in due time it will be universally understood that Joun Lan- ANIAN is & most worthy servant of the Chureh, and his name will everywhere be mentioned with gratitude, not only among Methodists, but among all who appreciate fidelity, courage, and perseverance in the ‘ight. — The Lowery gang of North Carolina have their rivals inthe SaARTER gang of South Carolina, a band of ruMans who are engaged in horse stealing and all manner of lawlessness. The Lowenys are as bold and defiant as ever. Recently Srernen Loweny and AspKEW BrROVY, two of the leaders of the gang, spent the day at Moss Neck, mixing freely with the in- habitants and getting thoroughly drunk. They attended a funeral where five hundred persons were present, but no attempt was made to are rest them. The Sanrers, like the Lowenys, believe that the maintenance of republican in- stitutions depends on the retlection of President Grant, A sheriff who had warrants for their arrest, and was ina fair way of effecting their capture, was himself arrested by a United States marshal for a violation of the Enforcement bill, It is expected that they will do yeoman service for GRANT next November, —_——>»>—__—_ ‘The sudden death of Mr. Joun P. Brown, who for forty years had filled the place of dragoman to the American Mission at Constan- tinople, as explained in the Allgemeine Zeitung, was tho result of a rebuke received from Mr. BAKER, tho Minister. It is alleged that the Sul- tan has for some time past contemplated a rad- {cal change in the order of succession to the Turkish throne. For five centuries the law of the empire has preseviged that the oldest male member of the imperial family shall reign, and when the Sultan dies he is succeeded by his son only when he has no brother or nephew who Is older. For this reason fratricide bas repeatedly been practised by the Sultans in order to secure the succession for their own sons. In compli- with this ancient law of succession, the present Sultan, ABDUL Aziz, succeeded his bro~ ther, ABDUL MebsLD, In 1861, while the seven sons of the latter retired into private life, though as the oldest of the four sons of Asput Aziz was born Oct. 9, 1857, while the oldest son of AUDUL MEDJLD was born Sept. 21, 1840, the latter Is the lawful successor to the throne, With this condition of things, however, the present Sultan {8 dissazisfled, and proposes to introduce our Western system of succession, so that the impe- rial dignity will be inherited by the eldest son of the Sulta 6 is not only suggested by his own paterna! ambition, but the fact that with the consent of the Sublime Porte, bought by the payment of ten millions sterling, the Khedive has Introduced the Occidental method of succession in Egypt, at least nominally, for It has not yet been tried in practice, encourages: AppuL Aziz to aim atthe same change in his own empire. It appears that in this project he had the sympathy of Mr. BkowN, and that on occasion of the introduction of Lieut. GRaxt and Gen. SHERMAN, the dragoman assured the Sultan in Turkish that such a change would be regarded with favor by the Government of the United States. ‘This assurance was soon brought to the knowledge of Mr. aken by other Minis ters, and he waited upon the Grand Vizier on April 25 to repudiate the ideas expressed by the dragoman, and to declare that in bis opinion fuch an alteration tn the order of succession would be a dangerous measure. Anh Balne’ Cand Mr, Baker, according to the Allegemetne Zet- tuny, rebuked Mr. Biiows with such earnestness for his unauthorized statement to the Sultan that the dragoman was struck with apoplexy und died within an hour, Saseanslissanee: SEE Large bets were offered in town yester- day, two to one that Dr. Honac® GrexLey will be nominated at Baltimore; and even that he will be elected Prasideut in Novewber, So the tide runs, Journalism in Austria is not in a very good condition. The most Influential journals published tn Vienna are owned by banks and devoted to their interests. When it is known that an Austrian bank does not confine its bust- neas to banking operations as understood in this country, but that {ts undertakings are of the most manifold kind in all ‘branchés’ of Yndus- uy and commerce, it will at once be seen that the control of a widely-circulated newspaper must be of great assistance to the projects of such an Institution, though it would hardly seom possible that Journals so devold of inde- pendence should exert much influence. The Neue Freie Presse, which has by far the largest circulation of any Vienna daily, 1s owned by the Union Bank. The Presse, having tho next largest circulation, ts owned by the Bank Verein ; the Fremdinblatt, the so-called organ of the Vienna aristocracy, by the Credit Austalt, also a bank; while the Wechsler Bank runs two dally papers. As the authorities exercise a strict cen sorship over all political matter appearing in Austrian newspapers, while thelr articles relat~ ing to commercial and Qouucial affairs are di tated by the moneyed corporations which con- trol them, the editors must have a very limited field forthe expression of honest and indepen- dent views, As the highest aim of Austrian Journalism appears to be the accumulation of wealth, no scruples are entertained as to the means used for attaining success. A story 1s told by the Vienna correspondent of the Chicago Tribune of an American official who, meeting pba bun caith, a: deatasen lag. ash can paper, kindly translated it, aud sent it to one of the leading Vienna Jr was published, and due credit given to the official for his courtesy in sending ft for publica- tion, In addition to this public expression of thanks, the gentleman privately recoived a bill of some seventy odd florins for printing the article, which was of no advantage whatever to the gentleman who sent it, but was of decided interest to the readers of the journal which published it, ae nals, The article Tho burly Individual who calls himself Sir Roger Tichborne docs not appear disposed to sure reuder the hold he has obtained on the affections of the British poblic by permitting himself to be forgotten, lie is now making the our of the privelpal towns of enxlans for the purpose, his (riends Ay, of geLCNg Laat fair play wich tins hitherto been dented him, He began in Journey by paying ® visit to the village of Alrestord, whieh I distant some threw miles from Tiehborue Hall, ‘The Clalunant, ashe fe generally termed fn England now, had been stopping for eeveral days at the cat of Mr. Guildford Onslow, M.

Tweed, Impleaded with Ingersoll and others, was called at noon to-day, on the demurrer of the defend- ant. Tweed.ta the couplaint, the tesue being Joined in November last. Wheeler H. Peckham and Charles O'Conor appeared for the people, and W. O. Bartlett, David Dudley Field, and Jolin H. Reynolds for the defendant. Mr. Bartlett, in opening the argument for tho defendant, said {t was contended that the county of New York had no corporate exist- ence—no right to sue and be sued, and if that proposition was not sound, then the case of the people failed, ile sharply criticised the manner in which this sult had been originated by the Bureau of Municipal Correction, and the trans. fer of the office of Attorney-General to the city of N He then proceeded to show the le- jn occupied by the county, its powers nd duties, and insisted that the county of New ways been recognized for about two hundred years as a corporate body. various logistative acts claus New Vork is mentioned, and also bonds issued by that count for which the county 1s held Hable, he said not {ng could be more absurd than the proposition that there was no such body corporate na the county of New York. He then proceeded to cite authorities to show that the county had power to suc and was Hable to he ened, it was Acoporation. The Constitution provided that all corporations should have the power, and also he subject to it, He contended, therefore. that the proposition made by the prosecution amounted to allowing two different parties to ie and recover this money, and that was ab- rd. As to the State becoming responsible f the bonds of New York county, the Constitution expressly prohibits the credit of the State being loaned to any corporation. Batt reat polnton which he relled as an insuperable barrior to the suit. begun by M. O'Conor was the provision contained in sectior 10, 11, 12 of article 7 of the Constitution, which regulated the manner in which slone debts could be contracted by the State, and which would have rendered null and void an act ren- dering the State responsible for the six millions sued for by Mr. O-Conor, even It the act bad been passed by the votes of every member of ‘Assembly and the Senate, and approved by the Governor, Mr. O'Conor contends that the State has been rendered responsible for a debt by some mysterious slip of twwplication, whteh it was utterly impossible for all Its constituted au- thorities, by any ieans whatever, to render it responsible for. ‘The State has no Interest In this matter. Ifthe argument of the prosecution pund, and Supreme Court shall decide In accordance the with, then the State is liable for the debts of ail Corporations, banks, rallroad companies, and of all towns tesuing bonds In aid of railroads.

Garvey and the others might have said to Tweed that they had had a good and prottable Job, and that they could afford to give him a hundted thousand dollars, and there would not, perhaps, be anytuing criminal in his receiving it. Mr, O'Conor then said he had no further argu. ment to make. He had made the few points hi desired to and would close. ‘The Court then adjourued until to-morrow morning at 10:15 o'clock. — What Ex-President Johnson Kuows About the Missing Record Wasnrxaton, June3.—President Johnson, who arrived ere to-day from Tennessee, iu obedience to the not responsible to : then tn Tweed, aad spreneriem onset dre Hines Snete mobimb wm oh inn appeared before that committee this afternoon.
