1T reports are true, the scenes at the
Syracuse Convention were of disorder
y and disgraceful character. But con-
sldering the falsehoods that were told
about our own convention, we had better
wait for proof before believing all that
is telegraphed.
The Republican nomination for Coy
ernor OF Massachusetts is received with
satisfaction. Notwithstanding the ex.
cited contest, Gen. Butler abides the re-
suit and thereby proves himself better

Gen. Wade Hampton has written
letter in which he advises the Southern

When Chief Justice Chase was in his
strength and prime he was a sound Re-
publican. Now that he is approaching
his dotage and final dissolution, he pro-
poses to sink into the dotaSe and final
dissolution, he proposes to sink into the
grave Of Democracy. Waukesha water

The La Crosse Democrat wants to know
if Gen. Washburn is crazy, because he
predicted that Doolittle could be buried
under 20, 900 majority. Well. supposing
he is. Meg Merilies made all her pre-
dictions come out true, aud people talked
the same way about her.
Greely said at Waukesha few days
since, that "thc best men are not all in
one party" Greely was right. Several
