Mack. the Copperhead correspond
ent Of the Cincinnati Commercial. was
sent to Chicago to misrepresent the
National Republican Convention. He
has done his best. Every dispatch
that has been sent, and every letter he
has written, has contained some vile
insinuations or SANDER against the
party he seeks to defame. As sam
pie we quote the following para
graph, which the organs of the Con
federate Democracy are rolling under
their tongues as a sweet morsel:
New York is in earnest for Fenton,
and there is a well authenticated re-
port that there have been in his be-
half offers offrom twenty to twenty-five
thousand dollars for the vote of each
Of the seven delegations from the
Southern States, if admitted to the
Convention. 1t is said that the Mis-
sissippi delegation offered itself for
sale, with the excuse Of being poor,
and that New York closed the con-
tract for the lot at twenty-five thou
sand dollars.
The result showed that nearly every
Southern State cast its vote for Col
FAX in preference to FENToN. If
Mississippi sold out for twenty five
thousand dollars, the transfer was
never consummated. If, too, money
was offered so freely and yet without
accomplishing the purpose for which
it was used, it is pretty good evidence
that the delegates were not as pur-
chaseable as Mack insinuated In
other words, he thought FENToN
would get the nomination, and sought
to damage his character and the party,
by insinuating, in advance, that cor
rupt means were being used to secure
that result. As Mr.. FENToN was not
nominated, we presume Mack's fer
tile brain viii have to hatch out some
other falsehood to explain away the
uufulGlIment Of his slanderous pre-
dictions.

HAVANA, May 21.-The Heralds
dispatch from Port au Prince, with
Hayti dates to 18th inst. reports that

The Toledo Blade says of the
Copperhead Legislature Of Ohio:
The per diem and mileage OF the
members of the present legislature
will foot up, Should they adjourn
within a week., about one hundred
and ta0enty thousand dollars. The last
legislature, which was Republican,
cost the State sjEty thousand doltQrS-
just half.
The Copperhead Legislature of
New York was more expensive ex-
pertinent to the people of that State
than the Ohio Legislature has proved
to be. Where the OHIO Legislature
has spent thousands the New York
Legislature has squandered millions.
The most shameless and reckless APP
preparations have been made, ostensi-
bly, for religious and charitable Oh
.iects in the city, but in reality for the
purpose of preparing a gigantic cor
ruption fund with which to influence
the elections this Fall. Many
simple minded Republicans, who
voted against their party in
those two States because it had
done things they did not like, and
because they imagined a change
would be for the best, already bitterly
repent their folly. They begin TO see
the amount Of mischief being done
by their fundamentally, which they
have not now the ability to prevent,
and they would give largely to be able
to recall their foolish action in bolt
ing the nominees Of their party.
is to be hoped the bitter expert
ence Of the Ohio and New York Re-
ipublicans will be a warning to the
members of that party in other States.
That henceforth they VIII be resolved
TO settle their differences inside their
own organization, and, whoever
may be their nominees, that they
will always present a united front to
the enemy, and not permit the latter
to achieve easy victories through the
jealousies and chickering's of their
leaders.

ERect Of the Nominations.

The nomination of Gen. GRANT as
the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent, has been so well assured, for so
long time, that Il was not to be ex-
pected that there would be an out
burst of enthusiasm over the mere
announcement. Yet our dispatches
from all parts of the country, yester,
day, show that the nomination of
GRANT and CoLFAx has aroused an
enthusiasm not dreamed of by their
most ardent supporters. Guns were
fired, congratulations offered, and sue
cess predicted everywhere. The New
York papers, with singular and un-
expected unanimity, endorse the
ticket and platform. and predict the
success Of both. The harmony and
enthusiasm everywhere prevalent is a
sure harbinger of complete triumph
In November, and the restoration OF
the country to the quiet and peace it
enjoyed in other years.
1t now devolves upon the Republi-
cans Of this Congressional District to
roll up their sleeves and 90 to work,
determined to give the nominees a
majority Of the votes Of the District
next November.

A Lake Dried Tn.

A few days ago the water from Ottawa lake
IN Monroe county, Michigan, all AT once disap-
peared. The Coldwater Gdrstfs states that tn,
water had begun to subside for some days, and
the teamsters who carried stone from the lake
noticed that the holes AT which they watere1
their cattle Were crowded with fish. They IN =
creased In number, both large and small, the
former having their mouths u ide open. and 30
exhausted that the people caught Them with
their hands. The ork Of quarTying aud haul
ing stones was soon abandoned and IN a short
time scores of teams and hundreds OF men might
be seen on and around the lake. The men.
with handsplkes, Crowbars. and axes were
busily engaged an cutting aud raising huge
pieces of ice, and then stopping down ana
lifting the fish, some of which were dead,
some alive, and some frozen fast IN ths
ice. for the water having departed from the
lake by some suberterranean passage, the vast
sheet of ice lay on the bottom. For three days
immense quantities of fish were carried away,
principally pickerel and bass, while vast uan-
titles of white fish are left 20 rot on the ace and
in the mud-for mud and ice are all that J.
left of Ottaway Lake. Numerous pieces OF the
ice are left standing on edge, like 50 many
grave stones. The lake, or rather it, bed. Or
graveyard. presents a novel scene. Some say
the water Viii soon return by the same source
10y which IL departed bringing a fresh supply

vicinity greatly feel the loss OF the departed
waters. About seven years ago tins lake de-
parted IN the same way, and old men say Al de-
parts and returns periodically.
