1t says nothing of the tariff, which is
a vital question to the people of Ohio
It is silent upon the still more impor-
tant issue of the financies-whether
the bonds shall be paid, as we agreed,
in greenbaeks, or whether we shall
make present to the holders of $780,
100000 or S1,O00,OOO,OOO. The Con-
vention was obliged to be dumb. 1t

1t does not pronounce in their favor,
because it knew that if it,did the peo-
pie would reject its work. e5s. ~
Not word was said about National
Banks, which, it is notorious, are
founded upon a swindling system,
costing the public more than S20,OOO,-
600 year, for which it receives no
benefit. Why it did not say any thing
may be guessed from the fact that its
most prominent members were either
National Bankers or stockholders

PARTY BEFORE CoUNTRY.-The first
formal resolution of the Republican
State Convention declares that sswe
regard with sincere satisfaction the
fidelity evinced by General Grant to
the Republican party, and his policy,
both foreign and domestic, receives
our support" 1t will be seen that the
thsnks for the fidelity to party comes
in before the congratulations for his
public services. With the men who
managed that convention PARTY was
everything, and the country nothing.

The CHITTENDEN LIBEL SUIT.-In
the Common Pleas Court, Judge
Green presiding, last week, the case of
HI. T. Chittenden against VIM. Trevitt
& Co,-an action to recover damages
for an alleged libel printed i'm The
Crtsts-was finally disposed of and
dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff.
The case grew out of an article in The
Crisss last OctoheH in which it was
intimated that O "United States Com
missioner was corruptly running a
black-mail mill on State street." to the
detriment and annoyance of citizens.
Upon this allegation suit was brought
to recover damages in the sum of
twenty thousand dollars. The defend
ants filed an answer, pleading justifi-
cation, and asserting still more DAM
aging charges, and to support this an
swer summoned large number of
witnesses. After several postpone
ments, the case came up last week up
on motion of the plaintiff to dismiss
the case at his, plaintiff g, cost. Thus
another attempt to intimidate the
press by menace of damages, has ig-
ANONYMOUSLY fizzled out, as ninety-nine
out of every hundred of such cases

The Commissioner of Indian affairs
received letter dated May 3lst, from
Geo. w. Dent, Superintendent Of In
dian affairs for Arizona Territory, in
which he gives sad statement of the
conduct of the Indians. News of the
depreciation comes from all quarters.
They have made attacks on the herds
and wagon trains in the Immediate
vicinity of Camp Verde, wounding
and killing several men and driving
off the stock. The same scenes have
been enacted near Camp Lowell. The
River Indians of the Gila and Colora-
do are quiet, being now engaged in
planting. The troubles, he says, are
owing to the temporary removal of
troops from posts in, the Territory. !.

DURING the last Presidential can
vass, the Radical papers and orators
declared that the election of Grant
would bring immediate prosperity to
the country and remove all the evils
affecting tie nation. Grant has been
President nearly four months, with a
Congress and Cabinet of his political
faith, and what is the result? Busi-
ness of all kinds is depressed. Gold
is from to II per cent. higher than il
was at his Inauguration; tPade'is dull
commerce and manufactures languish
merchants are respondent; failures
are frequent; mechanics and laborers
are out of employment, and more men
are seeking work and unable to OBJ
tain it than at any other period for
years; money can be had only at rur
inous rates; and there appears nc
prospect for immediate improvement
On the other hand, there is u wide
spread apprehension that the future is
darker than the past.-N. Y. Wor'd

Police Board. 1t was wrested from her then,
to subserve the necessities of the Tammapy

Republicans a chance to redress the wrong-a
chance which is likely to be thrown away by
the election of Henry Smith, who is called a
Republican, but who is far better known to

of our City. The election of Mr.. Smith would
give Tweed g. Company complete control of

The Cable brings us news that fresh re-
endorsements of Spanish troops were yesterday
landed in Havana, and that the building of
eunboats for service in Cuban waters goes
rapidly forward. Meanwhile sundry wise New
York journals "deny that there is any
instruction in Cuba" Perhaps then they can
explain why this steady stream of troops, sent
out at a time when the Mother Country is it
self in great distress; or why this unwonted ac-
activity in Spanish ship-yards, when the condition
of the Treasury might well enforce retrencbment.
For an instruction that, after six months
struggle, has not yet made an open appear
ance, this one seems to have remarkable
way of making troops and ships necessary,
compelling financial strain, disturbing the
poise of Captain Generals, and sanctioning I'M
numbered murders of the CreOles.

BY the correspondence in another column it.
will be seen that Mr.. Dana declines the Office
of General Appraiser, to which he had been
nominated by the President. Mr.. Dana feels
that as conductor of an independent news
paper he can do the country better service
than by appraising our silks and sugars. No
one can doubt the wisdom of that decision
The gentleman now holding this office is Mr.
Thomas McElrath. He has long been known
as merchant, an estimable citizen, and RcpGb-
lcan of the best school. We believe he has
filed the duties of his Office with universal
approval. We can see no possible reason for
his removal-and unless good reason does
exist, any change would be a mistake.
