from the West or rather from the Center-as
ve must soon como to regard Illinois and In
diana-it was wisely felt that no geographical
reasons should weigh against the imperative
wisdom of putting forward our two best men,
botb for availability before the people and for
canacitv and integrity in Office. Such are
Grant and Colfax 1t is noble, glorious,
ticket Since the days of Washington and
Adams. we have had none more worthy of
tbe overwhelming unanimous support OF
the American people without distinction
of party. Gov. Fcnton retlres from
n well-fought contest with signal honor to him
self He has reason to be proud OF the enthu-
siastic support of so powerful an array OF
friends. They show that glorious future is
before him. Mr. Wade deserved the great and
nearly successful support he received. Senator
Wilson and Mr.. Hamln could each only have
been defeated by the other. They will all join
hands to elect Grant and COlfax.
The platform is fair, temperate and firm.
While denouncing all forms of reputation, 1t
consults the interest of the taxpayer by re-
commencing gradual redemption OF the pub
lie debt and reduction of the rate OF interest.
II sustains reconstruction on the basis OF I'M
partial suffrage and loyal supremacy, justiies
the impeachment of Andrew johnson for his
high crimes and misdemeanors, and guarantees
protection to all naturalized citizens.
Against such candidates and principles, the
treachery of false friends and the hostility
of open foes are alike futile. All the States
were represented in the Convention. Now
let our friends in Congress push on
the work of reconstruction the chief
present duty of the Republican party-so
that the votes of all the States, If possible,
may be cast at the election. Let lis have an
Administration unanimously elected by all the
States and by so large a majority of the whole
people that its adversaries will thank us for
emitting to mention them
The campaign opens glOriously On with
the great work! Let our watchword be GRANT,
CoLFAX, AND VICTORY!

TILE OPENING SEASON.

With the return Of bright weather, the bud
ding of the trees, and the opening concert OF
the birds, the people are waking to new
thirst for merriment and enjoyment The hot
house gayety of Winter gives place to the
wholesome amusements which flourish only
amid invigorating breezes and under smiling
skies; and now that political turmoil and UNI
certainty has partially subsidized, and the coun-
try under the leadership of Grant and COlfax
seems to be entering upon new career
of prosperity, the prospects are that our
people during the coming Summer will be
merrier than ever and all rational
projects of amusement will prosper as they
have seldom prOspered before. Jerome Park
and the other great race courses will soon be
crowded, and the stands brilliant with flutter-
ing ribbons and gay costumes The attempt
to naturalize the sports of the turf among the
best classes of citizens which was made when
the Fordham course was opened, but with only
partial success will be made again, and proba-
bly, with better results; for we hear OF honest
and strenuous efforts to clear the race-course
from the reproach of gambling, which has done
more than anything else to keep it out
side the pale of refined amusements. In
the national game of baseball the
movement for similar reform has taken
still more definite shape. The tournaments
which last year brought so much discredlt
upon the game, which were said, we cannot
in all cases decide how justly, to be mere bet
ting speculatOns wherein the victory was not
won, but bought and sOld are to be abandoned
altogether or put upon a very different basis.
The boating men are preparing to test the
muscles of their arms. The yacht clubs are
getting ready their flags and finery, and over
hauling the trim little craft which are soon to
make Ithe bay and rivers brilliant with white
sails and flashing spray. And in few weeks the
German sharpshOoters will hold grand festl-
val in this city, where the pleasant German
customs of Oqt-of-dOor agusements and athletic
sports will be witnessed in their perfection,
and something Of the history and progress of
shooting weapons will be pleasantly symbolized
by gorgeous parades and professions. We shall
have abundance no doubt, of smaller festivals.
The Park will soon resOund with music, clat-
tering hoofs, and ladies' laughter; the
manageable young damsels in country
houses will bring forth the inevitable
cro1uet; there will be pic-nics on the river,
and lirtatiOns in the garden boating by moon
light; rambles among the mountains; and,
until the shams and designations of the fashion
able watering places turn the heads of half the
young women and all the silly young men,
our Summer pursuits will be, we may trust,
both pleasant and profitable.

1t is easy to credit the ayerment-not now
novel-that Mr.. Seward has rendered, through
Gen. James Watson Webb, our Minister at the
Brazilian Court, the "gOod Offices" of Our
Government to reestablish amty between
Paraguay and her powerful neighbOrs, with
whom she is at war; but we utterly repel the
vague report that reaches us from London that
Gen. Webb has intimated to the Emperor OF
Brazil, that unless the war is soon ended, the
Government Of the United States will inter-
"vene to prevent further bloodshed." For,
in the first place, Mr.. Seward has no
right whatever to authorize Gen. Webb 70
make such threat-the war-making power
being in Congress- which has in nowise
prompted such gratuitous menace. Then
we submit that it does not become our
Government, in view Of our recent history, to
evince such anxiety to stop the shedding OF
blood in remote quarter Of the world. We
notified Europe, not six years ago, that We
would shed as much blood as we should deem
necessary and that her rulers might better
mind their own business than intermeddle
with u.s. The rule we thus asserted we must
be content to abide. IL Gen. Webb has really
undertaken to bully Brazil in the manner
reported, we trust the Emperor promptly gave
him his walking-papers.

The Hon. Arson Burlingame, Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the
Chinese Government to the Treaty Powers,
with his suite of Chinese dignitaries, arrived
here yesterday in the Aspinwall steamer. Mr.
Burlingame went quietly to his hotel and gave
no opportunity for any public reception. The
novelty, as well as the surprising Importance
of the mission of Mr. Burlingame, excite
the profound interest, and the universal desire
to honor our fellOw-citizen who returns,
after eminent services with so great dignity

Gov. FENTos has been less conspicuously
prominent in National affairs than either of his
leading competitors for the Vice-P Presidency,
one of whom presdes over the Senate, whereof
another has long been an eminent member, while
q third is the popular Speaker of the House.
That he should be second on the list in
such rivalry, is no small honor-twelve

A resolution has been introduced into the
Methodist General Conference condemnng the
use of tobacco and shutting out from the min
istry all persons addicted to the weed in any
form. The liberal and enlightened spirit OF
this proposal cannot be too warmly commended.
AS soon as it passes, we trust that the Rev.
Mr.. Bingham, who offered it, will draw up an
Eleventh Commandment to the effect that
" Thou shalt not smoke" and will take imme-
date measures to close the Kingdom of Heaven
against all sinners who take snuff, drink tea or
coffee, play whist, checkers, croquet, or base
ball, read SCOTS novels, or smile or Sunday.

1t is understood that the Court of lmpeach-
ment will adjourn next Tuesday without vot-
ing on the remaining articles, the Managers
being unwilling to risk another vote at pres
ent. Meanwhile the investigation as to the
alleged corruption in the vote on the Alth
Article is being thoroughly prosecuted, and now
promises large results The existence OF an
organized "Anti- Conviction Ring" from the
first days of the trial is reported to have been
discovered. Mr.. Stevens is pressing some new
Articles upon the Managers, which he declares
he will present to the House If the Managers
will not accept them.

The two resolves adopted on the suggestion OF
Gen. Schurz are among the very best planks IN
the Platform. They refute the frequently
iterated charge that the Republicans are VIM
dictive and implacable in their feeling toward
the late Rebels, and show that what we truly
demand is not punishment for the past out Sc
curity for the future. The Acknowledgement OF
the leading Rebels is expressly declared to be
provisional and temporary-necessary to pro-
tect and secure the rights of the loyal people
of the South, but to be swept away whenever
its end is secured. 1t would have been Ma

Every honest man ought to rejoice that in
vestigation is making into the charges of cor
ruption in the Impeachment trial, and, no mat
ter to which party he may belong, he ought to
assist the Managers in their inquiry BY every
means in his power. This is what the johnson
sect persistently refuse to do. Their purpose
to stifle the investigation is transparent. Docs
it speak well for their consciousness of limo
cencef If the suspicious OF bribery are I'M
founded, for the honor of the country they
ought to be set at rest. If not, let us know
who the guilty men are, and treat them ac-
cording to their deserts.
