THE CONTEST IN OHIO.


The nominations of the Ohio Republic
can Convention given in our special dis
patches yesterday morning are satisfactory
to Republicans everywhere. These nomi-
nations, on the platform given in sub
stance in this mornings kilograms, assure
the success of the Republicans in the very
important pending campaign in that State
by very large majority. The contests i'm
Ohio are always of national interest be-
cause Of the very able and influential
speakers who participate therein, but the
contest this year isof peculiar interest and
significance.
The first reason that makes it of national
interest Is, that it is the first campaign in
which the new departure policy of the
Democracy is to be passed upon by the
great sovereign power i'm this Government
the people. The Democracy in their ma
tional platform can not 90 before the peo-
pie upon more liberal and progressive
platform than the Vallandigliam reso-
lutions of Ohio, and as leading Democratic
Journals in their calculation of the vote
next year, place Ohio on the doubtful list
the struggle there this fall, will be a fair
test Of their hopes and strength east
The contest will be of great interest
again, becauseit will be the most influen-
tiai ana most populous State voting this
year, and likely therefore, by its decision
to influence the popular vote materially in
lSI2, as the Issues then to be decided Will
be substantially those now before the in
telligent and patriotic people of Ohio.
The Democrats, as our readers will
doubtless remember, some weeks ago, NOM
mated Mr.. Geo. w. McCooll, a violent cop
per-head, for Governor upon the ''new de-
parture" Nallandigham platform.
The ticket presented by the Republicans
Is as we first stated uneXceptionable, and
Will meet the popular wish. Gen. NOyes,
was gallant soldier in the war and lost a
leg before Atlanta. He is a man Ofculture,
of wealth, of high character and fine abili-
ty-one of the best popular speakers i'm q
State presenting in this respect "A brilliant
array of names. The candidate for Lieu
tenant GOvernOr-HOn. Jacob Mueller-is
prominent and able German citizen of
Cleveland Ohio, and will add great strength
to the ticket. The resolutions endorse the
administration of President Grant and fl-
vOr liberal protective tariff.
An effort has been made to identify the
administration with Ex-senator Wade
There is no foundation for such n charge.
The nomination of Gen. Noyes was prac-
ticaliy fixed 10y a caucus of prominent Re-
publicans last January, about the close of
the last Ohio ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Wade was
appointed on the San Domingo Commits
sion aud long before his name was ever
mentioned for the place. Gen. Noyes is a
friend of Grants administration and with
a full endorsement Of ii, as "A leading plank
In the platform upon which he stands, he
viii be elected by at least twenty thousand
majority.

ALEXANDER STEPHENS IN A NEW ROLE

Alexander II. Stephens, Vice President
of the i" late unpleasantness,n has bought
an interest in the Atlanta sam, and assum-
ed editorial control of its political depart
ment. As one of the recognized leaders of
the Southern Democracy, he takes these
important duties upon himself to keep his
friends in the right path. He has no con-
fidence in the new departures of policy {"
leaders. In his salutatory, he says:
The Sun, under my general control of its
political course, will continue to stand upon the
principles of the platform of the Democratic
party of the Union, as announced in their last
general convention at New York, in 1868
=" A chief object will be to show by calm and
argumentatve appeals to the good sense and
patriotism OF the true friends of the Constitu-
ton, North ms well as South, that any departure
from the essential principles of that platform
will be exceedingly dangerous, If not fatal to
the liberties of the whole country.
The great Giving issue now before the
people Of the United States is between cOnsol-
dation, centralism and empire on the one side,
and the sacred sovereign right Of local self gov
eminent by the people of the several States on
the other; or, in other words, the great ques-
ton now is, whether the people of these States
are to live under a government of laws or q
government of bayoncts This is the great
practical, absorbing, Giving issue at this
time

Correspondence of the Chronice.l
GORDoNsvILLE, VA, June 10th, 1871.
MEssRs. EDITORS: / acknowledge the
receipt of your valuable paper, and will
take great pleasure in trying to find you
some subscribers in this, the Piedmont
section" of the "Old Dominion" Our
little town. Gordonsville, is rapidly i'm
proving. The great G.. & o. II. II passes
through its centre, connecting here with
the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas
Railroad. The wheat crop Is generally
good here, and in the adjoining counties.
The corn crop never fails, and in fact our
whole State il i'm prosperous condition,
and will soon again take its place in the
front ranks of the Union. Our people,
since the surrender, have all gone to
work-hard work. Lawyers, doctors, me-
chanics and laborers have all Joined hands,
and may now be seen working side by side
in the corn fields. We have only one
class among us who are disposed to be idle,
/. G., the freedmen, and they are beginning
TO find out that freedom don't mean idle
ness. KukluX are unknown, and the class
that Horace Greeley SO vigorously de-
nounces since his ''new departure" are
unknown. Regarding the freedmen, while
there are some who won't work, those who
will show the idleTs no favor, and when
guilty of misdemeanOr are more eager
than the whites to have them punished
When anything of interest occurs in
this locality, you will hear from me. .rF

THE Nashville Banner thinks the edi-
tors of Harper'S Weekly and EveJy ,Satur-
day must be expecting "tit-bits'' from this
administration, because they are both out
spoken Republicans. Well people are very
apt to put their own motives and aspira-
tions up as standards by which to Judge
others. We wonder that the Banner men
have the cheek to write thus about Mr.
Curtis, of Hmpe,'s Vceky who is paid
more for his editorial writings than is re-
ceived by any other editor in the land, and
who stands highest in the estimation of
those who know him best, and is regarded
by all as an honest, fearless journalist
But the old maxim that people living in
glass houses ought not TO throw stones
might be worthy of remembrance by the
Bdncr men before challenging such a
man as Curtis to compare records. The lat
ter has not been doing public printing, he
therefore might have the advantage of his
assailants, ell

A MORAL ON THE NEW DEPARTURE

The New York Post has studied the thew
departure" freaks of the Democracy draws
some practical lessons therefrom and points
a moral as the result.
1t goes back of the last new departure in
Ohio, and recalls the new departure of
1869 in Tennessee. 1t recalls how the
Democracy took new departure here by
promising to support Senter on a general
amnesty and suffrage platform, and how
as soon as they got in power they forgot
their deliverers and turned the State over
entirely into the hands of simon pure, un-
washed, rebel Democrats. In Missouri
they made the same use of the Republi-
cans and, through their new departure"
there, sent Frank Blair, revolutionary
Democrat, to the United States Senate 1t
then asks the question, will the new de-
parture be respected by the Democrats af-
ter they once get in power? We think
not. Their policy is very plain. In Ohio,
Iowa, &c, they are i'm the minority, They
are ready there to take the "new depart
ure'' in the hope Of inducing dissatisfied
Rep ublicans to trust them. They want
power and office there. 1t is 2oHc9 not
principle with them in those States.
But in Kentucky and Georgia they
know too well the sentiments OF Democra-
cy to talk about accepting the situation"
they are in the ascendancy in those States
and don't need help from Republicans.
They are true to their coors there, and il
is principle not policy with them.
From these facts the Post points a good
moral. 1t finds that where Democracy is
in minority they are liberal and pro-
gressive, but where they are in a majority
they are bold and rebellious. 1t therefore
says:
The moral of all this is plain enough Attic
| tion IS good for the Democratic heart The
| party fourisheS morally under the discipline OF
| defeat but seems, rs whole, to need a good
deal more Of the same sort Of trouble before its
repentance can be fully trusted. If it is still 10
be reactionary and revolutionary where its tri-
umph is assured and if it promises to do well
only where it is too weak to do anything, the
public safety will be furthered by keeping it on
probation for long time TO come.

GEN. SHERMAN has returned from an
extensive tour of observation in the West,
and says lie does not believe there is any
real danger of an Indian war. He finds
the general policy of the administration
giving great satisfaction both to the In
dams and the border whites, and says
there never has been so much good feeling
or so little complaint.

THE German bankers i'm New York at

further shipping Of German troops from
French soil as indicating fears of the
Theirs Government of n coup a. ctot to
seize the Government in the interests of
Napoleon. The action at Berlin is sup

the postponement of the grand review by
the Versailles Government, is considered
very significant.
The German bankers, of course, are
neither prophets nor the sons of prophets,

THE news from Mexico is rather start
ling, and we need not be surprised to hear
any day of civil war. Juarez is again a
candidate for the Presidency Of the Re
public, and he seems to be meeting with
considerable opposition. At Tampico, his
opponents were dispersed pretty much as
the Communists were at Paris. From the
City Of Mexico are heard rumblings of the
storm. The City Council of that place
having been dispersed, a Committee of
Congressman call upon the President for
explanation, and at the same time intimate
that unless a satisfactory explanation is
given, the act may be made pretext for
investigation. But Juarez, with the army
and treasury at his back, defes the Con-
gress, and relies upon force and bis own
popularity 10 carry the election. Further
advices will be looked for with interest.

THE Republican Convention in Ohio
was largely attended, was enthusiastic
and did good days work. Their plat
form, together with the speech of General
Noyes, we give on our first page. The
principles set forth are liberal, progressive,
and make a clear and sharp issue with
those put forth by the new departurists f"
few weeks before.
The speech of Gen. Noyes is brief, stir
ring and confident. His order, " forward,
guide center, march," will ring out in his
clear voice through the fertile vallies and
populous plains of the giant State of the
West will be responded to cheerfully and
unanimously by the hundred thousand
boys who wore the blue, and will be the
watchword to decided and overwhelming
victory.

WASHIsGTon, Feb. 25 1871
The British members aud Official attaches OF the

cutive Mansion. Secretary Fish and Sir Edward
Thornton accompanied Earl de Grey and his asso.
ciates. The distinguished strangers were severally
introduced TO the President by the Secretary
OF State. Tue President received them
very cordially and they felt at ease I'M
medately They recognized the absence OF
all the routine OF stately rprmallty which attends
the presentation OF persons to Queen Victoria or 10
the sovereign or any other country. The friendly
ana unassuming style IA which they were received
by General Grant to-day gave the British Comms-
sioners n characteristic practical illustration OF
American republican simplicity.
The interview was somewhat similar to that
OF the Commissioners with the Secretary OF
stare Yesterday, only IL was more protracted.
Friendly sentiments were reciprocated. All
parties expressed the conviction that the labors OF
the Commission would end harmouiously. If the
deliberations OF the joint Commission shall prove as
plea SAINT these ntroducons there IA good reason
to expect speedy settlement OF all differences be-
tween both countries and the establishment OF per-
perual peace and amty. The Secretary OF the Navy
and the Attorney General were also present at the
interview.
This evening The American Commissioners were
entertained privately by Secretary Fish ard the
