an explosion in China: News has
just reached us Of a terrible explo-
sion in the Chinese arsenal, at Wen

of life has not been definitely ascer-

as high as five thousand. Probably
one thousand is nearer the number
of killed and wounded. No Euro

GENERAL GRANT THE CHOICE OF
OHIo.-None who were present at
the Republican conference at Co
lumbus on Thursday evening,-save
such as are wilfully blind,-can
doubt the sentiment of the Republi
cans of Ohio upon the Presidential
candidacy. Influential and sagac-
ious Republicans, from all parts of
the State, to the number of perhaps
three hundred, met as an advisory
body to the Republican State Com
mittee, and freely and fully exchan-
ged sentiments upon the coming
campaign. So overwhelming was
the sentiment fayoring General
Grant as the nominee Of the Nation
al Convention, that we hesitate not
to saysnine out of ten of the Ohio Re
publicans are Grant men, in this,
that they believe him to be the
strongest man the party can put up
and one in whom the country can
put infinite trust.
At that meeting there were q few
whose first choice was not General
Grant, but with those gentlemen
there was no hesitation in saying,
that they will generously acquiesce
in whatever decision the National
Convention may make.

DISPOSED Owe are reioiced tc
hear that the bill which passed the
Lower House of Congress, restrict
ing the constitutional powers of the
Supreme Court, will probably be
killed in the Senate Judiciary com
mittee. We are not aware that there
are any Republicans in the Senate
who are in favor of this preposter-
GUS bill. There are certainly none
in Ohio. So we shall have one Load
