POLITICAL.
speech Of Mr. Clay at st. Louis.

Sr. LOUIS, October 4.-The following
are some of the points in Mr.. Clay
speech last night: He announced HIM
/ self in favor of universal suffrage and
universal amnesty; he said he was
approaching the decline of life bat
believed he would yet live to see uni
versal amnesty in the South and free
dom from the present military des-
potism. 1t was indeed a matter
for rejoicing that men had not yet come
to submit quietly to this injustice. We
have had plenty of illustrations OF the
dangers OF Capitalization. This was
tried to the bitter end in the Roman
Republic. When the Provinces lost
their interest and feeling OF responsible
ity in the government, then cruelty and
despotism reigned We do not want a
strong Government, we want a strong
people. We have placed a military
man. il YOU accept the term, at the
head of this Government and he has
proved a most complete failure. He
surrounded himself with satellites, and
they made him presents, and he gave
them offices. He thought it would
have been better if all our military men,
when their services were no longer re-
quired, had retired from public life.
But what is this least of our military
generals doing? lie seems to consider
the war still going on. Don't every
editor and politician in the land know
that Grant, for the past two years, has
been making war upon people with
whom we are at peace? If Grant is
reelected he will annex San Domingo
and Hayti in spite OF the Senate and
the opinion OF the people. The rebellion
itself was not such a blow at the liber-
ties OF this people, and the lite of the
nation, as this present administration.
Notwithstanding he may bring his ar
mics into New Orleans or New York,
where he has no more right to place
them than in my house. Nevertheless,
neither you nor | need fear him, for we
have the power of turning him out Of
his place in 1872, and putting better
man in.
In conclusion, Mr.. Clay urged the
nomination of an earnest and able man,
expressing himself warmly in favor Of
Horace Greeley.

ALWAYS increases after marriage; and
even if she were Indifferent before, no
well disposed woman can help loving
the father of her children. Children,
on her side, are bond OF union, and
though she may appear, for them, to
neglect some OF those little attentions
which men naturally seem to expect, it
is only because the child is the more
helpless being of the two, and the true
woman always takes the side OF those
who are most feeble.
1t is strange but melancholy fact
that when young girls fancy themselves
in love they are seldom if ever happy
if they marry the object OF their choice.
The fact is, in most cases, they find the
husband they have chosen quite 4 diff
ferent person as an individual from
the imaginary object he had appeared
as lover. The imagination in most
girls is stronger than the judgment;
and as soon as the first idea OF love is
awakened in female heart, the imag-
ination is set at work to fancy lover,
and all possible and impossible periec-
tions are assembled together in the
young girls mind to endow the object
of her secret idolatry. The first man
whose appearance and manners attract
girl on her entrance into society is
generally invested by her with the
halo Of her secret thoughts, and she
fancies herself violently in love without
the least knowledge OF the man she sup
poses herself in love with No wonder,
then, that if she marries she is mis-.
erabe. The object Of her. love has
vanished, never to rerurn; and she
finds herself chained for life to a man
she detests, because she fancies she has
been deceived in him.

Horace I'm the West.

Greeley is still pursuing his agricul

his tenets meet with opposition. In a
recent discussion with an Indiana editor
Horace maintained that fne-cut tobac

will not ripen unless the tin.foil be
stripped from the growing buds early
in the spring, and that plug tobacco
ought TO be knocked Off the trees
with clubs instead Of being picked

to this, and Greeley consequently
called him a villain and a cut-throat.

doubtless would have ensued, had not

State eC0nventiOn-Lay ing OF Corner
Stone.

State eCOnventiOn-Layi OF (OrHc'
Stone.
BosroN, October 1.-THE State Cor
vention of the Prohibitory and Labor
Reform parties was held today. The
former met at fremont Temple. The
question lies between the endorsement
of Washburn, the Republican nominee
and either Jno. J. Baker or Judge Pit
man. The Labor Reform party met at
South birmingham, Wendell Phillips
presiding.
At the session Of the Prohibitory
Convention this afternoon the commit
tee on Credentials made report show,
ing that l37 cities and towns were rep,
resented by 735 delegates.
The names of General 3. F. Bath, OF
Gloucester; Robert c. Pitman, OF New
Bedford John J. Baker, Of Beverly
and A. B. Washburne, Of Greenfield,
were placed before the Convention as
candidates for the gubernatorial nom
ination, and at half past two o clock the
Convention proceeded to ballot. The
balloting for Governor resulted as tol-
lows The whole number OF votes cast
were 300 ofwhich Hon. Robert e. Pit
man, of New Bedford, received 254, the
rest being scattered among several can
didates.
The ticket was then completed by
acclamation as follows: For Lieutenant
Governor, Eliphalet Trask, Of Spring
field; Secretary of State, George >
Bell, of Upton; Attorney General, 5. 1.
Fields, of Shelbourne Falls; Treasurer
and Receiver, General John j. Baker
OF Beverly; Auditor, E. 5. Grant, o'
Randolph.
After much discussion series OF res
olutions were adopted declaring that the
suppression OF intemperance Is polltl
cal necessity; that the only struggle is
between prohibition and free rum; that
the Republican party is unworthy OF
the support OF temperance men; thai
the law permitting the sale OF maI'
li0uors is cheat and a disgrace; favor
ins short legislative sessions and econo'
nv and retrenchment in public expendl
ture; commencing the principle OF pro
hibition to the labor;ng men; impIorlns
women to come to the rescue, anc
recommending the candidates OF th'
Convention for the sutirages OF th'
vetoes OF the Commonwealth.
The suffrage resolution offered b!
Mrs. Bo Sles was indefinitely postponed
ayes, 100; nays, 81.
The Convention then adjourned.
The ceremony of laying the cornel
stone of the new postotfice, about to b'
completed, will be presided over by
Postmaster General Cresswell, and sec
retary Houghton and many other dis
tinguished persons will be present tt
witness it, which takes place on Octo

While the Board of Apportionmen

While the Board of Apportionment
I was in session Yesterday, a gang o1
three or four hundred laborers EN-
ployed by the Department of Public
Works, besieged the Comptroller :
office and demanded the wages due
them for the past seven weeks. MIR:
Green returned about this time, and
told them that he would give them an
answer to-day.
Acting Controller Green is receiving
the praise OF the community for the
changes effected in the Controller 8
department. Under the new order Of
things, instead of close meetings OF the
Board of Apportionment and the Com
missioners Of the Sinking Fund, as
heretofore, the proceedings Of these
Boards are now open to the public.
Mr.. Green is furnishing the committee
OF seventy with such particulars as they
desire, 10 enable them to institute the
legal proceedings necessary.
There is every indication that the
Convention at Rochester today will
exclude the Tammany delegation al
though Mr.. Tweed is hopeful that they
will get in. 1t is believed that Mr..
Tildcn will use every effort to reject
them.
The accounts from Rochester say that
the streets are alive with excited,
drunken throngs. Serious trouble is
apprehended. Numbers Of citizens, it
is rumored, have called on the authori-
ties for the military.
The Tribune thinks that the Tam
many delegation will be rejected, but
that the rejection will only be a sham,
a kicking out at the front door TO be
coaxed in at the back, and begged to
steal more circumspcctly in the future.
The Democratic party, it says, cannot
carry the State without fraud. 1t
means to carry it anyhow.
The World charges the Republican
party with the responsibility OF the
New York frauds, and says that the
Democratic State Convention at Roches
ter today will plant its heel on the head
of the monster, Corruption, and crush
out its life.
The German Republican Central
committee last night adopted resolutions
endorsing the Republican ticket, and
urging the overthrow Of party consider
alton in local politics for the purpose OF
securing municipal reform.
The Reuo!uti0n, the womens paper,
expires this week.
Another member Of the Tammany
General Convention, Patrick Loveam,
leaves the institution on account OF its
corruptons.
The Kings county Republicans held
an exciting session last night in refer
ence to the Republican State ticket.
The police had to be called in to quell
the disturbance. The boiling faction
undertook to get resolution passed
organizing opposition to the other
wing.
