G. L. VALLANDIGHAM.

Information has been received in this city,
from reliable sources, that the convention
recently held in the third congressional dis
trict Of Ohio for the election Of delegates to
the Philadelphia convention was packed by
the friends of @. L. VALLANDrGnAM for the
purpose Of securing his election. One man
from Montgomery county insisted upon cast
ing fve potes, which secured VALLASDIGHAN's s
election as o delegate. This fact will throw
him out Of the convention on its being prop
erly presented to the committee on creden-
tials We understand that another meeting
of the electors Of the third district will be
held, and another man will be chosen in the
place of VALLANDIGHAx.
We do not hesitate to say that the origina.
tors of the Philadelphia convention and the
true friends of the National Union party re-
pudiate VALLANDIGBAM and all such as he.
1t is gratifying to us to be able to say that
we know that such conservative men as the
Hon. GEo II. PENDLEroN, of Ohio who was the
Democratic candidate for Vice President on
the ticket with MCCLELLAN, unhesitatingly
repudiates Mr.. YALLANDIGHAM's course in in
terfering with the proposed National Union
Convention at Philadelphia, and has parted
company, politically, with his late friend.

ooNGR EssIoNAL sTULTIgIcATIoN.

As brilliant specimen Of the wisdom of our late
lameuted Congress. We mention an Instance illus
trative Of the astonishing astuteness of Its mem
bers The second section Of the bill for the equal
isation Of soldiers bounties, which was hurried
through both Houses just previous to their adjourn.
ment, states that all soldiers enlistng subsequent
to April 10, 1861, Tor a term Of not less than two
year., and who served that period, or who were
honorabiy discharged for wounds received in the
service. and Who were by existing laws of the Uni
ted States entitled to receive bounty of $50, and
no more shall be paid an additional bounty of $50
As the United States has never offered any such
bounty the second section of tho act for the equal
nation Of bounties is therefore entirely inopera
tive, as will be decided by the Second Comptroller
Of the Treasury Department within few days

THE PUBLIC PRINTER.

The statement that Gen. SrEADMAS was
confirmed as Public Printer is incorrect.
He was neither confirmed nor rejected. The
law creating Public Printer requires that
the appointee shall be practical printer"
The Senate Committee on Printing, to whom
the nomination OF Gen. SrEADMAN was re-
ferred, was not fully informed on the subject,
and the nomination was consequently passed
over, which leaves the appointments to be made
by The PRESIDENT.
Gen. SrEADxAS is q practical printer, and,
prior to the creation Of a printing bureau,
was elected Public Printer Of the United
States House Of Representatives. He is EN-,
ineptly fitted for the responsible position to
which he has been appointed.

FORNEY's CHANCES FOR THE
SENATE.

FoRSEY has about as many chances to be
elected to the United States Senate from
Pennsylvania as he has to go to Heaven in
his present unprepared condition, assuming
that the popular theology of the day is cor
rect. In the first place, Senator CowAS,
Gov. CURTIN, Gen. CAMERON, and Hon. G. A.
GROW will absorb nearly oil the votes on the
first ballot, and one of those gentlemen will
be compromise candidate, who will take
what scattering votes are thrown for THAD
STEVENS, Congressman WILLIAMS, Judge
KELLEY, CovoDE, and others. and will be tri-
umphantly elected. The dead duck will not
be heard of among the scattering shots.

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY TRI-
uMPHANT.

Congress has backed out Of one folly after
another until il has backed itself nearly down
stairs, leaving TnE PREsrDESr's policy tri-
umphant. Let us see. ~
Congress commenced its present session
with the heresy that the South, inclusive Of
Tennessee, was out Of the Union, and existed
merely as tracts Of conquered territories. II
seemed to be welded to the notion that the
eleven then unrepresented States were to be
treated like so many separate territories in
the West, and unentitled to any rights as
States under the Constitution. II finally
backed out Of that, and took the more tena.
BILE ground that they were out Of their proper
practical relation" to the Union. Whilst
upon that tack IL started the idea that il had
the right, under the clause authorizing the
admission Of States with constitutions repub-
lcan in form, to say that any constitution
which did not confer suffrage upon negroes
was anti.republican, and must be revised.
BY its vote in the case Of Tennessee it has
backed out of both Of those positions.
1t is true that Congress has softened its
iali ny pretending W Pus itS "Suoh ia WY
case Of Tennessee upon the acceptance by
that State of the proposed constitutional
amendments. But that is too 6imsy for an
excuse for anything. Nothing is altered by
it, and nothing will be altered by It, because
those amendments are not and will not be
ratified by three fourths Of the States. The
ratification of them by Tennessee, as we
stated yesterday, therefore, is merely On
empty form in respect to the right or the
fitness Of it for representation in Congress
So that after quarreling with The PREsI.
DENTS policy in this respect eight months
Congress found itself obliged to adopt it as
the only practicable way Of disposing Of the
question.
BY this action Congress has conceded that
it has been wrong and that The president
was right 1t is remarkable, therefore, tina,
that body should adjourn without applying
its own logic to the other unrepresentet
States. Their representatives must remain
out in the cold while longer. Such is thu
rank inconsistency Of Congress.
The radicals in Congress intend to keel
all the remaining ten southern States from
participation in the next presidential election
notwithstanding they haze opened The doc
so widely that, upon their oDn theory, 4
cannot be again consistently closed.

THE TINKERg CONVENTION.

The Constitution tinkers, as Secretary
McCuLLocH aptly terms them, are TO have a
convention in Philadelphia in September.
II is TO be composed of THADpEus STEVENS
and company and such Southern doughfaces
as they shall have seduced to go there. 1t is
intended to be counterblast to the great
Union Convention to be held there in Au-
gust. Their organs say that II is for the
purpose Of organizing an aggressive move
ment" in the South to divide that people be-
tween the Government and themselves As
Il will not be Union convention, no Union
man Of any character will, under the circum-
stances, go there to participate in Its pro-
ceedings, SO that 1t will make very little head
way in President-making--its real object
The radical candidates who have been
"sapping and mining" under Chief Justice
CHASE for several months, will hardly dare to
fire their mine there. They are not quite
ready to blow the Chief Justice up. So they
will be likely to keep Gen. GRANT before the
people while longer, by way Of diversion,
until they get their trains all laid and ready.
We therefore conclude that II will be merely
o convention Of tinkers with the same solder
ing tools which they have used, without mend
ing single article, in Congress, and will be
attended with about the same results. Such
tinkers never mend anything, for the reason
that they tinker their wares topieces instead
of sticking them together. But rs there is
no law against tinkers' conventions, we are
willing that they shall hold as many Of them
as they please and justify Congress, if they
can, for its departure from the Constitution
and the Baltimore platform Of the National
Union party. .o

NEBRASKA NOT A STATE.

Among the clumsy, inconsiderate things
perpetrated by Congress during the excite,
ment of the last hours before its adjourn,
ment was the passage of an act admitting
the Territory Of Nebraska as State into the
Union. This Territory does not contain as
many loyal inhabitants as existed in any one
city Of either Of the ten States to which the
same Congress applies taxation but refused
representation We are glad to learn that
the measure did not receive TnE PRESIDENTS
signature.
