New York. Nav %.


Of the nomination made yesterday
the Herald says Grant is stronger
than his party, and Colfax is the
most popular man Of his party, and
the Republican ticket was strong
one"
The New York Times says: "The
people have faith in Grant, and the
selection OF Colfax is eminently ju-
dicious.'
The World says: The ticket
would have been a strong one Ave
months ago. 1t is completely Wes-
tern, and wholly radical. Grant is
without popular qualities, but sue.
cessful military career hides a multi.
tude OF defects. Colfax is perhaps
the most popular man in the party.
On tho whole, the ticket is not \ very
strong one"
The New York Tribune predicts
that Grants electoral end popular
maiorities will exceed those OF Lin
coin over Mcclellan. He will re-
ceive more votes from the recon
structed rebels than any other man
in the country. Under the auspices
OF Grant and Coliax, our country is
destined to achieve speedy restoration
10 its former prosperity and more
than its former fraternity"

DRUNKENNESS IN PARIs.--In the
Annual Journal of Prison Discipline
and Philanthropy it is stated that
drunkenness is SO rare in Paris that
no legal steps have been necessary
for restraining it by arrest and conf
nement in police stations. If one be
found drunk in the streets a rare
spectacle in Paris), he is treated as
unfortunate, and assisted home for
nursing. 1t is supposed, however,
that this treatment will SOON give
place to punishment, since so many
foreigners are congregating in Paris,
who being with them their habits of
hard drinking, that drunkenness will
be likely to spread among French
men.
