. Gen, Grant has expressed wish that
the Democratic Convention might nomi-
nate Judge Chase. So has Mr.. Bryant ;
SO has Dir. Grcely; SO have many other
prominent radicals. The reason is the
the same with them all. They want the
Democratic party to adopt republican
platform and a Republican candidate.
Then it would make very little difference
which party should carry the election !;
it would be a Republican triumph in
either case. Why shouldn't the Demo-
Gratis take this easy and simple course /?
All that it would require of them would
be the remuneration of their distinctive
principles and in return for such a con-
eessson they would get a chance of elect
ing their president and tasting the sweet
sGoils of ohce.-N Y. San.

NOSE BLEED-Therc are two little ar
teries which supply the whole face with
blood, one OH each side; these branch off
from the main arteries oil each side of the
wInd-plpe, and running upward toward
the eyes, pass over the outside of the
jaw-bone about two-thirds of the way
back from the chin to the angle Of the
Jaw, under the ear. Each OF these arte-
rles, Of course, supplies just one half of
the face, the nose being the dividing line.
The left nostril! is supplied with blood by
the left artery, and the right nostril by the
right artery. Now, supposing your nose
blecds by the right nos,fil, with the end
of the fore finger feel along the outer
edge Of the right jaw until yop feel the
beating of the artery dlseclly under your
finger, the same as the pulse in your wrist, /,
then press the finger hard upon it, thus
getting the little fellow i'll a tight place
between your finger and the jaw :;
the result will be that not drop of blood
goes into that side of your face while the
pressure continues; hence the nose in
stantly stops bleeding for want of blood
to flow; continue the pressure for five
or ten minutes and the ruptured vessels
in the nose will by that time probably
contract SO that when you let the blood
into them they will not leak. Bleeding
from cut or wound anywhere about the
face may be stopped in the same way.

Fhe Nomination of Gen Garfield, siveSmuch
pleasure out of the district as well as in. Our
cotemaorary of the Painesyille Telegraph speaks
of the result of the Convention, on this wise:
This action of delegates, fresh from the peopls,
is highly complimentary to our able and faith
full public servant Gen. Garfield has greatly
distinguished himself in Congress. The people
are satisfied with his public career, and desire
to Se;ain his services.
True, an element of opposition, was dssXelop
cd. This is not strange under az the ctrcum-
stances which generally SURROUND cases OF this
kind. But this clement ef opposition had its
source, we presume, in nc denial OF the integ-
rity, ability or usefulnes of our distinguished
Representative. The gentlemen who had other
preferences, and who, as it was their privilege
and right. gave expression TO them, cordially
united in making the nomination unanimous,
and will of course, be found among his most
faithful supporters at the ballot box, This is
as it should be. In no other way can n party
organization be kept from Generalization, and
its integrity be preserved.
1t must be especially gratifying TO the nOmi-
nee that he received the vote of every delegate
from his own county, and so heavy a majority
of the delegates in each of the counties OF the
district.
1t is particularly pleasing to observe the sat
isfaction with which the Republican press of
the country halls the nomination of Gen. Gar
field. In honOring him, the district honors ITSELF

Commissioner Wilson, of the General
Land Office, has addressed a circular to,
all land officers setting forth that eYten-.
sive tracts once designated on the maps
as deserts are now found to be fer
tile and filled with thriving agricqltp5
raj populations, and that vast mineral
wealth, has been wasted owing to the
ignorance of miners of the value OF the
refuse they were throwing away. AS
an instance of this, the great Colnstock
lode was at first worked for its smal,
proportion of gold until scientific mi
ner examining its refuse found it to con
tain $4,000 in silver to the tun. He
suggests the forwarding to Washington,
for a national cabinet, specimens of the
various minerals and products OF the
new Territories so that they may come
under the eye of scientific and practical
men.

nc NcW L OTk ECcHtty ONi tliab Ofu otodA
of Democracy in the days when the Democrat
ic party was something more than name, dis
sects "the forms of words" agreed upon as a
platform by ihc Tammany Hall Convention,
with sharp, disguised lcvity:
1t has but three striking features:
l. Reputation, in every form except
the open and manly one Of direct refusal
to pay the debt, is recommended. The
bonds are to be taxed, in spite of the di-
rect pledge in the act authorizing the
loan, that they should be free from taxa
ton. They are to be raid in irredeema-
bic paper, IN spite of the official pledge
that they should be paid in coin.
That is, if the candidate of this con-
rention should be elected.
2. A delicate coquetry is practieed
towards the doctrine of a '"white mans
government" Immediate reconstruction
and suffrage in ali the States, vii, mean
one thing if Mr. Pcndleton is nominated,
and a very different thing should MIR.
Chase be the candidate,
3. The tariff and the internal revenue
system arc to be so modified as to give
':incidental protection" to American IN
dustry. The old rallying cry of the
Henry Clay wings, for "a tariff for reye-
nae with Incidental protection,' is to be
raised by those who claim to be the sue
cessors of VIM. L, Marcy, and Silas
Wright. The last shred of the old, time
honored democratic banner, OF equal
rights for all men, is gone; and the sole
Object of the party now is to rescue some
thing of the spirit of slavery from the
rnius Of the Institution, and to sacrifice
sAe paor man, nprth and soRtl, to tie in-
:rigies of demagogues and the interests
of artstocrats.
So the Democratic party enters on the
strife for national supremacy, building its
hopes en an alliance between two forms
of oppression; capital oRpressipg labor
in the North by unjust revenue Laws, and
in the South by prejudices of race and
color

General Grant.

The y. Y. Tribune, almost always contra.
~ and impractical, never showed those quail
tiles more distinctly than it is doing daily in
its opposition to the movement in favor of
Gen. Grant. That Grant is to be the Re
publican nominee, if he lives till the Nation
al Convention meets, and the next President
if he lives till the 18th of March 1869 is as
certain as any thing future can be. That he
has the respect and confidence of the ueople.
Of all classes, the copperheads excepted ::
that the voters who united on Mr.. Lincoln
and in support of the war, are ready to unite
on him; and that they will not unite
with the same harmony and strength on any
other man. seems as plain as the light. But
the Trijune will not see it, and the constant

sentiment towards the General. seems only

The Repl, of secretary Adams:

The reply of ex-Secretary Adams to the
supplementary report of the Board of Educa-
ton, published by us to-day, will attract at
tention
Mr.. Adams seems to us to fully meet
every point made in the Supplementary Re
port, SO far as he takes them up,-haymg be-
fore him, It is to be noted, only few quota
tons from the report, and not the document
in full, which the Board it seems have not
troubled themselves to send him, though it
was aimed wholly at him. lie shows that
the law required him to print and distribute
his Report as he did, before the annual meet
inc Of the Board but that nevertheless there
was no concealment from the Board Of the
matters to be contained in it, to which they
take exception. In reference to the state
ment that Mr.. Adams was himself responsible
for the exclusion from the meetings Of the
Board Of the teachers who had been invited
to advise as to the selection Of school books,
"a statement 50 intrinsically improbable,
that it needed the sanction ofthe suppo~ed-to-
be-truthful and reliable names attached to the
supplementary Report, to secure for it ar.-
credence-Mr. Adams AYERS, and appeals to
the record for the proof Of his assertion, that
the exclusion favored by him was Of the Puj-
hshcr's agents, who were swarming around
the meetings of the Boards, and not Of the
teachers. This is "horse Of quite another
color" and We can only express our surprise
that some Of the gentlemen of the Board, who
have been old associates of Mr. Adams in it,
and who We have always respected, should
have been willing 10 attach their names to 50
unjust and essentially ntruthful a charge
We can only account for it by supposng that
they signed the report as a whole, without
attention to some Of its details Certainly
this single instance Of disingenousness
must weaken for every one the whole force of
the supplementary report
