The CONGRESSIONAL NoMINATIoNs.-We
notice that it Is proposed in many parts of
the State by the Democracy to hold the
Congressional nominations before the Ma
tional Convention. We think it Is bad
policy to do so, as there may be some ac-
tion taken at the National Convention,
that would render it of vital Importance to
have the Congressional Convent ms after
ward. Should the Eastern bondholders
undertake to make a platform and nomi-
nate bOndlolders' ticket at the National
Convention which Is to assemble at New
York on the Fourth of July, against the
wishes of the great mass of the people, it
would be we'll to express the Indignation
of the people against such through the
Congressional Conventions.-Kentoe Demo-

'sRoADsTERs' GRANT AND CoLFAx-J. S.
and now President of the Brooklyn Ferry
Company, sent the following telegram to
Grant, the day after his nomination:
LET me congratulate you. The Democ-
racy must take the dust when such pair
of matched roadsters as Grant and Colfax
are on the track.''
"Roadsters,' indeed! The idea of run
ming Republican roadsters against Demo-
cratic racers is ridiculous. Grant and Col
fax "roadsters" That is capital. In
sporting phrase, it describes them exactly.

han may know all about "ferries" and 9TH

he had better learn little about horses

Speaking of the Republican Platform,
the Putnam County Sentinel says:
The substance of the platform may be
summed up as follows: The ballot for the
Negro and gold for the Bondholder. But,
we shall not now at length allude to the
platform. The people have an embodiment
OF it in the history of the party for the past
few Years-its usurpations, its despotism,
its robberies, and its other great and dam
nable crimes against liberty, honesty and
and the sacred rights of the people.
The PRESIDENT AcQUITTED.-A telegram
received just as we are going to press, an
nounces the acquittal of Mr. johnson on
the second and third articles of impeach-
ment, and the sine die adjournment of the
Court. So ends the fsrce. Now comes the
day of retribution. The people are yet to
be heard. The impeachers are to find them
selves arraigned before the bar of public
sopinion for their conspiracy to overthrow
the Government and trample down the
Constitution. May they have Justice met
ed out to themselves; and that right speed.

GRANT suits the wicked and designing
men of the Radical party, because they ex-
pect him to be a tool in their hands, a man
of wax that can be moulded into any
desired shape. They will seek by spread
eagle oratory and fammable speeches, to
work the people up to state of excite
ment that will make them forgetful of the
demands of the country and the utter un-
fitness OF Grant for the Presidency. and by
this means secure sufficient votes to elect
him. But the people have been SO often
deceived and so frequently led blindly into
lnd1scretlons by permitting passion to
usurp the place of reason, that they will be
slow to take the cunningly wrought and
temptingly- bait within which is
concealed the -ibarbed hook of ruin.-

OF all the calmness that we have ever
seen, there is nothing that can surpass the
calmness with which the nomination of
Grant and ColfaX was received i'm this city,
1t was the calmness of despair. Not
shout was beard. not flag was thrown to
the breeze. not a cannon rOared, sin thun-
der tones," in fact it was the common in
quiry, of those who happened to remem-
Der that the Radicals had convention,
"who has been nominated?" This too,
three days after the nomination had been
made. Where is the enthusiasm that the
nomination at Grant was to inspire? We
havn't seen nor heard of any yet. Not

OBIrUARY.-The "dorg is dead" The
poor NANCY cuss was kicked to death by
the High Old Court of Impeachment" on
Tuesday, and no provision made for its res
direction.
A vote was taken on the second and third
articles, and the result was the same as on
the eleventh. After some fillibustering,
the Radicals became demoralized, and
motion TO adjourn the Hight Court of Inn
peachment sine die was carried.
And thus, after three months waste time
by Congress, at an expense to the people of
not less than one million dollars, Impeach-
ment lies dead in the house of its friends.

ADMIRALE SIMPLICITY-One of Thad.
Stevens admirers write that the impeach-
er plays faro an hour every evening for
'mental recreation" and not tor love of
gambling, as he seldom bets more than $50
at at time. The Ne,o Haven Register thinks
this simplicity is about on a par with that
of a returned GENTLE from Utah, who, de-
string to palliate to family friends that
recreant son had abandoned the religious
faith of his fathers, remarked, "Well, he
isn't what you may call a regular Mormon
he has only three wives."-Holnaes Co.

PENDLEToN AND VIcToRY.-One by one
has the Democratic phalanx of the Great
West wheeled into the Pendleton line and
the indications now are that the entire
western delegation will enter the council
of the party on the Fourth of July next a
unit for Pendleton and the platform of
which he is the recognized author. There
is a popular feeling in this regard which
cannot be turned aside by those who would
commit the party to false men and
false principles. The financial theo-
ries advanced by Mr.. Pendleton
have struck the popoular chord
and he is Enthusiastically ANNOUNCE
ed, as the peoples choice. With Pendle-
ton at the head of the ticket and English,
