THE New YORK HERALD, of Thursday, says: "a
consultation was some time SINCE held by the
leading mon OF thesparty instho city and State,
including United States Senators Morgan and
Conkling, ox-Mayor, Opdyle. William M. Evarts.a
Marshall o. Roberts, Isaac Sherman, Ex-Copgress-
man Frederick A. Conkliug, William H. Webb, An
B.Cornell, s. d. Clittenden, Amos r. Emo, Will
liam T. Blo5eett, and others Of equal prominence,j
which has led to an important financial combina-
ton, by which it is proposed to establish q newi
Republican organ in the metropolis, on q secure
basis, free from the erratic propensities or the |
Tribune and the jumpipg-jack peculiarities Of the |
Times. The gentlemen who have undertaken this
enterprise, having secured the cooperation Of the
President Of the broadway Bunk (which institu-
ton enjoys the large PROFITS Of the city deposits),
have agreed to subscribe the following sums to
operations: Messrs. +. A. Palmer and
Marshall O. Roberts, twenty Thousand dollars
each; Messrs. Morgan, Conkling, Opdyke, Sher-
man, Webb, Evarts, Cornell, Blodgett, Emo, Muir
ply, Chittenden, Butler, McMartin, Blake and
Cowden, ten thousand dollars each. These parties
command o capital Of six hundred thousand dol
lars, which will be doubled il necessary to carry
out their purpose. They have purchased Tamna-
ny Hall, entirely remodelled the building, and
made arrangements to issue a morning paper, to
be called the Telegraph, and to its sale
at two cents a copy, subject, Of course, to such
| changes as may hereafter become advisable. This
| new Republican organ will be under tho editorial
management Of Charles A.. Dana, formerly one Of
! the principal editors Of the New York Tribune, in
| connection with the brother Of United States SEN
ator Conkling. Its object will be to check the
folies, absurdities, vagaries and ~vanities Of the
/ Tribune and Times, and to take the position Of the
recognized Republican organ in the State or New
York" "@ s~' .'
The ONO ELECTION, says the Lafayette (Ind.)
Journal. has settled the question Of Mr. Chase's
| nomination. We remarked, it will be remembered,
! on the day before the election, that in case Ohio
condemned negro suffrage, Chase would disappear
| from the arena, end Grant would be brought fof-
ward more prominently. The result has verified
the prediction. Grant stands forth to day at once
the hope and glory Of the Republican party. The
enthusiasm his candidacy would inspire ia needed
to arouse the country from the apathy produced
by the selAshness, vilainy and imbeciity of poll
ticians. Besides, his great frmness, wisdom, rett
oence and patriotism are wanted at the head Of tho
Government. He is true to liberty, and possesses
the elements OF a popular leader. The thousands
OF Republicans who have become tired OF support
ing a party 30 largely dominated by unfaithfal and
incompetent leadership, and thousands OF Demo-
Gratis, too, who are repealed from us by the hordes
Of peculators who have, through venal Congress
sional Recommendation, or equally venal Executive
preferment, fastened like leeohes upon the Treas
ury, would at once flock to OK standard, carried
by Grant. II the result of the late elections shall
force his nomination over and through all the Pre-
sidentisl schemes of the politicians, in which, I'M
case of success, the spotls are already parceled
out, every wveTl-wisher Of the country ought to re-
joice. Elected, as he would be, 10 save q sinking
party, he would be free from party trammels, and
! free from debt to public leaders. Such o President
the country now needs-one who has no particular
/ friends to reward or enemies to punish at his
/ c~ountry's expense. h'R .
PEoeIE UNFAMILIAR with the ways OF the politi-
\ cal world sometimes ask how money raised for
| elections is spent. Committees are not in the
habit Of publishing full reports Of their TRANSACT
tions, but occasionally secrets wi. leak out. We
may divide the purposes for which money 10 dis
bursed in carrying elections into two classes. We
| will call them for convenience sake the wholesale
and the retail. The wholesale purpose ia o legiti-
mate one, the latter is not. The former seeks to
influence men in masses by the employment Of
| speakers to present the arguments, by the publ
cation of tracts, or by the circulation of newspa-
pers. The latter strikes for the individual voter
and holds out q personal inducement to each to
cast a particular ballot. The Democratic Central
Committee Of Pennsylvania adopted the latter
course, but endeavored to voil its retail business
under o Wholesale guise. In a s'private" circular
issued a short time before the election ocours this
paragraph, wnacn shows great skill in the choice
OF phrases, but whose meaning it is not difficult to
gather: elm very slow districts, I would suggest 9
I special contract with active men thus: In 1855 the
district polled 100 Democratic votes; in 1886, 12O
Democratic votes. Now, for every Democratic
vote over ITO polled, we will pay you q Fixed sum
the day after the election. This 10 simply an In
%csntive to bring men out, for the vote Of 1857 shows
that they are there. See that your agents lave all
Democrats assessed, naturaized, and their taxes
paid. Let me know what I can do for you. Send
forward the lists rapidly"
JEFFERSON DAVIS pays the following eloquent
tribute to Southern women sIf asked for nv
sublimest idea Of what woman should be in time
OF war, I would point to the dear women OF nv
people, as I hav, seen them during the recent
struggle. The Spartan mother sent forth her bow.
bidding him return with honor-either carving
his sword, or on it. The women of the South sent
forth their cons, directing them to return with
victory, to return with wounds disabling them
rom further service, or never return at all. All
they had was flung into the c~onfict-beauty. grace.
passion, refinement, the exquisite fuvolities 80
dear to the sex, were cast aside; their songs. If
they had any heart to sing. were patriotic; their
trinkets were flung into the public crucible; the
carpets from their floors were portioned out as.
blankets to the suffering soldiers OF their country.
Women bred to every refinement Of luxury wore,
homespun made by their own hands. AS nurses
OF the sick, as angels Of charity, as patient and
beautiful household deities, accepting every sacri-
fde with unconcern, and lightning the burden OF.

per to their sphere, the dear women OF the South
