The Rhode Island Republican state
| Convention met on Saturday, and nOm-
mated Seth PadeIford, of Providence,
| for Governor, by acclamation, in, place
of Governor Burnside, who declined

| The name Of L. L. Rice was sent in

In the new deal, Ohio came to the top
Of the pack. Grant, the President,

/ Of the promotion of Sheridan over
Thomas to Lieut.-General. Sheridan
| was not promoted over Thomas, as he
ranked him" In the date of his COM
mission as Major-GeneraI. "Oid Pap
Thomas" ranks them all, though, in
the hearts of hiH soldier boys. So what's
the ''dit" 10 him.
The copy Of the Suffrage Amendment
to the Constitution, ratified by the Mis-
souri, Legislature, WAS transmitted by
telegraph, and the second section omit

The high honor of having a sober
" Reception" on the evening of the 4th
of March belongs 10 Mayor Bowen, oi
Washington, who utterly refused to
have anything to do with the affair II
wine-guzzliBg was toprevaii. He very
properly thought drunkenness and RI
citing should be discountenancsd on
such an occasion.
A special says: There is now excel
lent suthOrity for saying that General
Grant has decided when there is
change made in the Cincinnati post
office, to give it to Thomas II. Foulds
that George M. NJ. Lynn, of CoviDgton
will be Assessor of tie Sixth District
and that Rev. DR.. Cramer, now Consul
at Lei 9sic, will be made Minister resi-
dent at Switzerland.
President Grant was politely inform
ed the other day by q delegation o
GeorRians that i6 was the purpose o
the Democracy of the South to aid II
T the ratification of the fifteenth amend
ment. Congress having indicted ne
gro suffrage on them, they were now
, going in turn to in11ict it on the Id
Yankses.'' That is fair. Thus tbs
wrath of the rebels is made to do jus
tice to the negro.
Poor old Andy having nothing to be
stow upon his parasites, the Demo
cratic press now speaks of him as q
g Radical ~ They were willing to beal
the odium of fellowship with him a.
long as he had any Offices to bestoW
but now that he is poWerless, they seeE
to throw the odium upon the party be.

tlemen Andrew johnson is no more
a " Radical'' than Judas was an ApoH.
