WHO NOMINATED FRANK BLAIR ?-The
man who nominated Frank Blair in the
New York Convention was Ger raj Pres
ton, Of Kentucky, who was an officer in
the Confederate army without even the
shallow justification that his State had Sc
ceded. This General was so stepped in
treason that none of Andrew Johnson's
pardon proclamations, or universal amnes-
les-not even that one issued on the 4th
OF July Tor the special benefit of the Dem
ocratlc Conyentien-reaehed his case He
is relative of the Blair family and re-
garding the elections as unfayorable to
rebels, has applied for and obtained q
special pardon. He is now qualified to
accept commission under Seymour in the
new rebellion.

mendous shouts. We noticed in par.
ticular fact which we commend'ta

sion to the Republican party and the
great deeds it has wrought, even in its
youth, was completely drowned in the
laundering shouts of the vast Assem-.

speakers, contributed greatly Ito ii.

THE GHOsT RING.
BY LII BILLINGS sPALDINs

He said our dream was over,
And he took his ring away
But he could not rid my finger
OF the impress where it lay.
For circling still my finger,
Like little band of snow,
A ghost ring clung about it
With white and pleading glow.
I said the dream is over,
For had to set him free
For his heart warmed for another,
And he didn't care for me.
fknew the ties were severed,
And tried hard to forget,
But the wan thing on my finger,
Kept pleading o not yet! y
And the tears would struggle upward,
For the little penciled band
Chung with faithful fondness
To my poor forgotten hand,
And my heart, too, bore the impress
OF the loveft used to hold;
Though knew him all unworthy
And l strove SO TO seem cold.
And hope he my be happy;
They say bis bride is fair,
That her eyes are blue and winning,
With long aud golden hair.
I never prayed for beauty
Till found he thought me dim;
But d not think he'd scorn me
When was so true to him.
But his heart cried out for beauty,
And so set him free;
And pray God to forgive him
The great wrong done to me.
And in that purer region,
Where we take spirit mould,
He may see with eyes unclouded
That there's BEAUTY OF THE SOUL.
