THE MErRoroLrrN AND CorSTr NoxS,-
TroNs.-The conventions Of the different parties
are very busy just now making nominations
for all the Offices to be filed at the approach
ing election for the county, for the Legislature
and for Congress. We do not attach any i'm
portance to the dictum Of any party or any
convention, bu. are disposed to support such
men only as are qualified by their good charac-
ter and Intelligence to administer faithfully the
duties imposed upon them, whether 1t be upon
the bench, in the State Legislature or Ia TIE
halls Of Congress
We perceive that Recorder Barnard has re.
ceived the nomination Of Tammany for the Su-
preme bench, and also the nomination OF No.
Fart Hall This will undoubtedly give him
prestige when be comes before the people We
see also that Judge Russell got the nomination
for Recorder frem majority Of the Tammsny
Convention, but by some means or other row
was got up before business was concluded. and
the Convention broke up. Mozart Hall, how.
ever, has nominated him, and this will give him
also a handsome prestige; while the fearless aud
upright course he has pursued for the pas,
four years as criminal Judge has commended
him to the good viii Of all The respectable por-
ton of the community friendly feeling

heaped upon him By portion OF the press II

versally severe In his dealings with them. and
Il is only natural that this class Of people and
their friends should be bard in their deuuncia-
lions Of hin.
The nomination for members Of the Assem-.
biz Is only partially completed, 20 that Il IS
difficult TO pronounce any opinion a. 70 what
the result will be. The same may be said Of the
nominations for members Of Congress: out We
perceive disposition to run some Of the plan.

Dess talents, AID understands the interests OF
the city far better than mere politician or law
yer; be knows more about the business of his
constituents than Mr.. Sickles, who now repre-
seuts the district, or than the editor of Sunday
paper, who knows still less. Mr. Wood has the
capacity to serve his constituents we'll, and he
is by far the best man at present in nomination
In that district and having no one to compete
with him who has any chance at all, we presume
he will be elected.
In the Sixth district, now represented By
Hon. John Cochrane, there appears to be come
opposition to bis denomination; and there could
not be Q more forcibls evidence Of the depFa-
witty Of the democratic party than to see the
erogshop politicians who control the nomina-
Tors endeavoring to reject such Representa-

ter, upright, refined, Intelligent as statesman,
and man Of undoubted talent, who has proved
himself not only an honor to the metropolis, 9

to substitute in his place one Of the plunderers
of the Cooperation. When party conventions
60 to such lengths as to supplant worthy men
for the refuse of the community they are eati-
tied only to contempt and no man who has the
interest Of the city or the country at heart will
be bound By their action We shall see, how
ever, what the upshot Of these conventions will
be, and we fancy that we have great many
scores yet TO reckon up sgainst them

the late conventions In Charleston and Balti-
more have laid ii out sti6 and fat all over the
country.
The new organization which has sprung up
In this city, composed Of all the fir gments of
parties which ths exigencies Of the times have
utterly broken up and demolished, is great
Union, constitutional, conservative party, whose
origin and aims are wholly incemprehensible
to the grogshop politicians, Office holders and
Office seekers Of Tammany, who see no farther
than the spoils. II is equally incomprehensible
to the men of the rotten aud corrupt Regency,
though they are forced to chime in with it.
The Regency Is compelled to Jump into the
train. though much agsinst its will, and travel
on the grand Union railroad, being all the time
il the dark "a 70 the reason why it should be
obliged to go out Of its old track laid in the
filth and mire OF politics. Bnt this great Union
conservative party is an organization Of new
ideas ard statesmanlike views and purposes and
is therefore not presumed to come within the
comprehension of the worn out political hacks
Of Tammany, or the Albany Regency.

our Relations with Chilli and
Peru.

Dispatches have been received at the De-
partment of State from our Minister at
Chill, brought by the North Star. The con-
dition Of affairs there is not very salts
factory. Outrages are continually perpe-
mated upon American citizens, and no eff
i olts are made by that government to re
dress them, or bring the perpetrators to
account. Their professions of friendship
and desire of cultivating friendly relations
with this government amount to but little.
They persstently refuse indemnity to our gov
eminent for losses which have occurred by
seizure of vessels and property belonging to
a nerican citizens.
This matter, together with the Peruvian
ditiiculty,is before the President,and he will
doubtless take such action as the Importance
Of the subject demands.

The Governor of California.

AS an incentive to aspiring young men
we mention this fact in connection with
the career of the present Governor of
California, John G. Downey, who was
inaugurated on the l4th of January last.
But few years since, Mr.. Downey was
an appothecary's boy, in the city ofW ash
ington, d. C. Born of an enterprising
spirit, and acquiring a fine reputation, he
proceeded to the Western States, and
finally to the land Of gold, where, in the
drug business, he became eminently sue
cessful. He married a wealthy lady, a
native of the new State, settling in San
Angeles. In 1886 he was elected a
member Of the Legislature. By majo-
rity Of $4,000 the people chose him as
Lieutenant Governor at their late cleo
ton; and subsequently, by the promotion
of Governor Latham to the United States
Senate, our Washington lad, of 4 few
years since, succeeds to the executive
chair of State.

in the Jail yard at New Castle, Delaware, on
Friday, for the murder of John W. Dewlin,
at Delaware city, in August last. The
wretched man confessed his guilt, but pro-
fessed to have repented. He fell about three
feet, and died almost without struggl,; the
twitching of his feet was all the movement
that was observed. He hung about half an
hour, when the physicians pronounced him
dead. He alleged that he was drunk when he
committed the crime, and warned his friends
and associates to beware of lager beer sa-
looms and strong drink.
