The Republican Nominations--Inci
dents at Chicago.

The New York Uorld's correspondent at
Chicago, speaking Of The second days proceed
ings of the nominating convention, says the
first real life shown in the body was when the
vote nominating Grant was announced. The
moment that the announcement was made a
dove, with feathers painted IN red, white and
blue, was thrown out from the galleries, and
few around the hall for some five minutes,
when it struck the lights in the rear part of the
stage, and was so badly burned that further
flight was impossible The dove fell 10 the
floor somewhat singed. A moment later the
flags in the rear of the stand were raised, and
revealed 10 the audience a miniature house
painted on canvas, on which was painted full
sized figure of General Grant with Columbia
at hissde. and over his head the words, g Match
him." At the sight of this the entire audience
rose to their feet and gave cheer after cheer,
when the band played the air OF John
Browns soul goes marching on, the entire
audience singing the words.
The same correspondent says that the con-
vention came near having lively row while
waiting for the platform manufacturers to re-
port. The debate which sprung up on the
Union League resolutions, reading Iessenden,
Trumbull & Co., ont of the party, became very
exciting, and showed that the vengeance party
had at least one-third of the convention, aud
at one time it was doubtful what the result
would be. After an hour spent in wrangling
over it, it was laid on the table. This did not
suit Mr.. Spencer, Of New York He moved
to take it from the table and made quito a
splurge, but failed Considerable time was
then spent in buncombe speeches, in which the
most bitter sentiments were applauded the
most. General Palmo- boldly asserted that in
the question Of impeachment the Law and evil
dence had no bearing and should not be con-
sidered. for impeachment was simply the new
mode for decapitation. This revolutionary
sentiment was applaudcd.
The resolutions did not 90 far enough on
some points to suit the radicals Of the West,
and. on motion Of Carl Schurz, two more reso-
lutions were added to the platform Of an ex-
treme radical character.

We are much pleased to be able TO state, saya

purchased an interest in the celebrated Gala

Gallaher, who retains large interest and will
be the principal director in Richmond, will
form q corporation 20 be known rs The Rich
mond Granite Company" Their purpose is
to develope the quarry and extend the business
to the full limits of their capacity. The granite
obtained from these works is Of superior quail
ty, being fully equal in all respects to the best
found in New England, where tho main supply
of the country has been hitherto procured.--
Mr. Gallaher has exhibited business tact ard
energy in the management Of this enterprise
highly to be commended. We congratulate
him on the favorable prospects before the now
company, and trust that the Richmond granite
will soon become as widely known and as much
in demand in the Northern cities as the Quincy

TAETY FEALTY.-True to party interests,
the most of the republican press is acquicscing
in the non-condemnation Of the anti-mpeach
ment Senators Of that party 1t Chicago. Tho
New York Times says: "Messrs. Fesscnden.
Grimes and Trumbull entertain no other poli.
ical purpose than to do what in them lies for
Grants success on the Chicago platform"
The New York Sun says
This is the simple common sense Of the
matter, and no republican politician, except
the fools, has ever thought Of turning these
Senators out of that party. We can tell tho
republicans too that they have no votes 10
throw away, aud that they had better enlarge
their party rather than diminish it, if they
wish 10 carry the next election"
