Split In the Democratic Dele
cation.

The following paragraph from the
Cincinnati Commercial is doubtless
founded upon correct information
TWenty-four members of the Demo-
cratic delegation of Ohio to the Nation
al Convention had q caucus at the
Burnett House a few days ago. 1t
turned cut that the notion of nomina-
ting Chase had found its way into
the Ohio delegation. The development
of this idea was not very formidable,
but its presence was regarded with
apprehension. The special subject of
the discussion by the convention was
the financial policy of the party. 1t
turned out that only seven out Of the
twenty-four delegates were converts to
the Pendleton-Enquire doctrine Of
paying the nationaldebt in greenbacks.
This is an ominous circumstance. In
the striking and comprehensive Ian
guage of Mr.. C. W. Woolley-"where's
Wash. ?" II less than one third of the
Ohio delegation are greenbackers,
how are the Pendletons to overcome
the convention with their great prin-
ciple?" One delegate, and he of the
highest repute for ability, came out
s~qusrely for the reputation of the
national debt ; and declared in favor of
fighting the battle Of the summer
upon that issue.

The New York Tribune recommend DIS
the appointment of Msior-G General
Phil. Sheridan for Commissioner of
Internal Revenue. There are two
obstacles in the way of the consum-

second, Sheridan could not be induced
to abandon his profession to accept
such an appointment, if rendered.

The gallant General Mcpherson, in
a-Ietter written bat a short time be-
fore his death on the field of battle,
expressed the following opinion of
General Grant:
General U. S. Grant 1 regard as one
of the most remarkable men Of our
country. Without aspiring to be a
genius, or possessing those character
istics which impress one forcibly at
first sight, his sterling good sense, calm
Judgment, and persistency Of purpose
more than compensate for those dash
ing, brilliant qualities which are apt to
captiyate at a first glance. To know
and appreciate General Grant fully,
n ought to be a member of his mil
itary family. Though possessing a
remarkable reticence as far as military
operations r concerned. he is frank
and affsbls, converses well, and has a
peculiarly retentiVe memory. When
not oppressed with the cares of his
position, he is very fond of talking,
telling anecdotes, &c. HIS purity of
character is unimpeachable, and his
patriotism of the most exalted kind.
He is generous to a fault, humane, and
true, and a steadfast friend to those
whom he deems worthy of his conf
dence, he can always be relied upon
IN case of emergency.

striking out all the bonded warehouse,

leaving only the distilling warehouses, and
requiring tie tax to be paid on leaving

the bill allows q drawback of the fifty cents
