The Republican State Convention at Roches-
ter yesterday nominated

,Jlisfces CHARLES ]. FoLGER now of y. s.;
ROBERT 5. HALE, of Essex
This is good and strong ticket Judge
| SELDEN has served a full term with honor in
the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals
| He used to be a Democrat of the Free Soil
stamp, but has been Republican since the
organization of the party. His purity and
private worth are unquestiOned, while his
judicial ability is of a high order and his ex-
perience quite extensive. The Convention
choice could not have been more happy
CHARLES ANDREWS was one of the ablest
and most influential members of our late Con-
stitutional Convention, and has repeatedly been
chosen Mayor of Syracuse by good majOrities
He is of our younger class of lawyers and
statesmen, and holds high rank among them,
as his vote yesterday indicates.
Judge FoLGER is one of our very ablest
statesmen. He has served two full terms with
distinction in the Senate, and was the most
influential member of the Constitutional Con-
ventiOn. Elected for a third term to the
Senate, he resigned to accept the post of Sub
Treasurer in our City, spontaneously rendered
him last Autumn by Gen. Grant-a post which
he reluctantly accepted. He was Judge be-
fore he became a Senator, and has in every
station evinced stern independence and signal
ability.
Judge ROBERT S. HALE has already eight
years of experience Oh the bench, has been a
Representative in Congress, and Presidential
Elector.
We can elect this ticket. We ought to do
it. Let us unitedly resolve that WE WILL!

The inhabitants of Georgetown, Colorado,
have held a meeting, and have solemnly re-
solved: 1. That the people of the Eastern
States know nothing about Indians, or Indian
warfare, or Indian provocation; 2, that George
town, Colorado, fully approves the Indian
"policyr of Gen. Sheridan; 3, that "War TO
"the knife il the only way of avenging the
"many depredations that are being daily com
Emitted on the border :" and a, that "We, OF
" the West, are judges of what is slaughter
:" and useless blo0dshed." Now, this happens
to be precisely the style of resolution which,
however informally, the Indians themselves
have adopted. They get together in the largest
wigwam, and, after due smoking and medlta-
ton, they solemnly resolve that they approve
the policy of their chiefs; that they have been
cheated out of their lands; that treaties made
by them have not been kept by us; that 'war
" to the knife" is the only remedy left them ;
that they have long series of depredations"
to "avenge;' and, finally, that they care
Judges of what is slaughter and useless blood
"shed." Whereupon they grind their hatchets,
put on their war-paint and proceed to make
war after their own fashion. Now, if there is
anybody who can say, in the light of notorious
facts officially and historically recorded, that
these Indians have always been treated with
even, exact and general justice, then that per-
son is in position consistently to justify the
massacre of Indians. But where is the many

The World, having somehow blundered into
the mistake that The TRIBUNE holds that
"the higher the duty on any particular article
the more of it we use,' seeks to refute that
doctrine as follows:
"Take Tobacco. As smokers will smoke whether they
smoke the fragrant Havana the suceuent Connecticut
1t will not be claimed that the duty cigars has any
bearing upon the public health and morals decrease
in the importation Of cigars, therefore, following
increase Of the duty indicates either that the people
poorer that the duty has been put high to make
importation Illicit, and to throw the profits out Of the
Custom-House into the hands of smugglers."
Remarks by The Tribune
1t seems to us that the decrease above
alleged might prove neither of the things indi-
Gated by The World, but simply that the en-
hanced duty on imported cigars had increased the
consumption of those made at home We do not
see how this inference can have escaped any
intelligent person. Take Pig Iron for illustra-
ton. Suppose it to be the fact that we imported
less of it in 1869 than we did in 1859. Would
not the fact that we made twice as much ac-
count very naturally for the diminished i'm
portationf And so of Woolens, Plain and

w n Notes.

All advices from the seat of war, al
though full are rather confusing and
not wholly reliable Still it is evident
that there has been heavy and contin.
ued fighting during the past week in
the vicinity of Metz, and that the COM
munications between the French army
at that place and Paris, are cut OF.
The losses of the Prussians are reported
TO outnumber the French on account Of
the fortified positions of the latter, but
it appears that the French have been
outnumbered and outgeneralled from
the beginning, the foreign journals as
sorting that their army is t more
than $4,000 strong, while North Ger
many alone has $4,000 in the field
