How the Supreme Court Nominations are
Received.

From our exchanges we clip the follow
ing;
If any one can tell us what good this
Convention has done, we would be glad to
know it, As party convention il was a
failure, for it refused to provide for the or
ganization of the Democratic party. If it
was no party convention it was still
greater failure, for no Republicans or Radi-
calls were admitted. Its nominations were
very good, but they bind no one, and one
of the candidates nominated Mr.. Nichol-
son, will not he permitted to qualify, if
elected, because Congress has refused TO
remove his disabilities. We think the
members of the convention would have
done better had they stayed at home and
looked after their private business. This
new style of no-party Conventions ~
strikes us as the greatest humbug of the
age. When legitimate party convention
makes nominations il is the duty of the
members of the party to support them, or
to openly dissolve their connection with
the party, but the nominations of such a
convention as this was amount to less and
bind the party no more than the expiring

The election of a Supreme Bench for the
State of Tennessee took place at the Capt.
tol yesterday. Under the provisions ofthe
new Constitution ordering the election in
fact it should have taken place on the first
Thursday of August next, and at the bal
lot box. Without further discussion as to
the manner in which the new Supreme
Court has been created, it may be said that
the Bench elected is far above mediocrity.
An elaborate set of resolutions We're read i'm
favor of converting the Convention into a
simonpure Democratic meeting but were
tabled as rapidly as any subject which dis
gusts decency and outrages propriety is al
ways sure to be. We know that this will
be regretted by the men who originally
started the Convention for political pu,-
poses, who have for weeks advocated street
allegiance to party. -NnshUiHc Banner.

REAL ESTATE BRoKERs.-The Supreme
Court of Cincinnati has recently delivered
an important opinion upon the right of a
real estate broker to recover his commits
sions, although he had deviated from the
instructions of his principal, the person
offering the real estate for sale. The facts
of the case were as follows
The owner of house entrusted it to q
broker, directing it to lie sold for $4,000,
and not to be advertised. The broker was
to receive one per cent. commission, but
no commission was to be paid in case the
owner sold the property. The broker
afterward, through misunderstanding,
lowered the price to 5000 without the
consent of the owner, and advertised the
property. While matters were in this po-
sition n gentleman who was looking for a
house for friend saw the advertisement,
called to see the broker, got the price rs
$4,000, and reported to the friend. Com
milnications were then opened directly be-
tween the owner Of the property and the
person DESTROYS of buying 4 dwelling, and
the house changed hands at &, 800. The
supreme Court held that the broker was
entitled to his commission, as through his
efforts the parties had been brought together
and the sale finally Effected. -r.af @

Messrs. Editors Should the desire of
those whom Gen. Lee cherished too dearly
to sacrifice in the unequal struggle that
closed with iron grasp upon his own great
heart he doomed TO disappointment, and
his remains rest elsewhere than in our beau

which cannot be put aside, that the great
and central memorial, in evidence of that
admiration and devotion the world yields
to The great and good, should be erected at
the capital Of his native State.
There are rules in eSthetlcS rendered I'M

over the dead the structure should be Sc
pulchral monument but II dedicated to
their virtues, then cenotaph or statue
erected in some prominent and public
place, to the end that the memory of those
virtues may be ever kept alive. In antici-
patton of tie latter alternative, and with no
desire to disparagc the claims Of President
Monroe to the Veneration Of his country
men, it is respectfully suggested that Mon.

the native granite riyen from the hills OF
our devoted city, that so often reechoed the
thunder of his victorious guns.

design and sentiment be left unmarried by the
homogeneous intrusion OF other subjects. II

CHINESE LABoRERs.-The iourneymen
cigar.makers of Philadelphia held mass
meeting on Monday evening. and adopted
resolutions strongly protesting against the
introduction of Chinese laborers. Yet these
same cigar-makers probably voted the Re
publican ticket at the late election. The Re-
publican leaders declare their purpose to be
TO allow the Monaghan, or any other inferior
race, to have equal rights in this country
with the Caucasian. There is no hope for
the working man except in the success OF
the Democratic or Conservative party. Let
the colored men Of Richmond catechise
PORTER on the subject, and if he tell the
truth, they will learn that, like his organ,
the State Journal, he Is in favor of allowing
Chinese to come here and take their places
in the tobacco factories and wherever else
they are employed. Remember that Re-
publicans cannot find any authority for
excluding these vile heathens from this
country, and that the Conservatives can.
