VERY coon.


IT was stated some tune since that DIR
GrceIey's support OF the nominee Of the
| Cincinnati Convection would be condi
tional on the tariff plank in the plat
form. Greeley il and always has been
a protectionist, and he is not likely to
modify his opinions now, though he may
act with those who disagree with him,
and consent to a compromise for the ac-
complshment of great object. ip a
recent article in the Tribune he says;
If the World earnestly seeks basis
of substantial accord between parties
on questions Of Political Economy, It
will allow us to suggest the utterance OF
the last National Democratic Conven-
ton. held in Tammany Hall, July 40,
1868, as possibly atiording such basis,
We think we could standon that, fairly
Interpreted.
Here is what the Democratic Conyen.
ton Of 1868 put forth as the orthodox
test on this subject.
The Democratic party, in National
Convention assembled, demand such a
tariff for revenue upon foreign imports,
and such equal taxation under the in
ternal revenue laws, as will afford Incl
dental protection to domestic manufac-
lures. and as will, without impairing the
revenue, impose the least burden upon
and best promote and encourage the
great industrial interests OF our country
Now, when DR.. Greeley, the head and
front of the protectionists, consents to
compromise the tariff question on the
basis Of the National Democratic plat
form of 1868, the greatest obstacle to
the success of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton is removed. 1t grows brighter and
brighter.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Much sur
prise is manifested here at the statement
made by the London Times in reply to
the letter of ex.Consul Gen. Freeman,
to the effect that the presentation Of the
rebel cotton loan before the mixed com
mission here, was without the sanction OF
the British government The claims pre-
sented before the commission was not
only with full knowledge of the
British Ministry, but by the authority
of the Ministry. The case was so
extraordinary that it was imme-
diately brought to the attention of
the administration, and the Brit
ish Ministry was Immediately re-
quested to withdraw the claims, as they
clearly did not come within the scope
and purpose of the treaty. This re-
quest was refused by the British Minis
try. The English Consul was advised
to press the claims, and did SO until they
were ruled out by the commission itself.
The public speeches Of Gladstone, in SO
far as they hint at the contrary being
true, as they very broadly do, are as
excusable in the impressions they con-
yey as the statement in the London
Times.

KEEP AWAY.

There has been talk Of conservatives
Of all parties participating in the Gin
cinnati convention. There may be some
trick in this to introduce Democrats to
ruin its influence. Under the call, which
is as follows, Democrats are not invited
there:
We, therefore, invite all Republicans
who desire the reforms herein set forth,
10 meet IN National Convention. at the
city Of Cincinnati, on the FIRST Wednes-
day Of May next, at II m, there TO take
such action as their convictions Of duty
and the public exigencies may require.
The Cincinnati Commercial thinks
that when the convention meets It viii
be found to have outgrown the pro-
gramme Of the historians. Horace
Greeley's advice" Bring ell you can
with you"-is likely to be obeyed.

The IOWA Radical Convention.

DIES MONIES, March 2S.-The Repub
lican State convention is much larger
than was expected, nearly every county
in the State being represented with full
delegations. The convention met at II
a. m, and effected temporary organi
cation and adjourned to 3p.m. At the
evening session it elected General james
B. Weaver, of Breamen, president, and
one vice-president from each congress
ional district. The following resolutions
were adopted.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the
administration of U. S. Grant, the en-
forcement of the law, the faithful collec.
ton of revenue, reduction of the public
debt, and the restoration Of national
credit, and that we believe with him that
President should have no policy to en-
force against the will of the people, and
that our delegation to the national con-
vention be instructed to vote fer and use
their most earnest endeavors to secure
his denomination.

WILL 1T COME.

1t is probable that the New York Sun
misrepresents the temper of the people of
Mississippi In reference to the state
ment Of the Auditor, that the taxes
must be doubled to carry on the State
Government, the Sun says: In the face
of this warning, every measure of re-
trenchment which is proposed in the
Legislature is promptly voted down by
the carpet-baggers and freedmen, who
form the majority of that body. But it
must net be forgotten that the Southern
negroes, who ignorantly vote for all
manner of extravagant measures as a
class, cannot under any circumstances
be brought to see the propriety of any
taxation which affects themselves. Con-
sequently when the question of repudi-
alton comes up in Mississippi, as i. is
certain to do, it will be found that great
majority Of the freedmen will vote for
that method of canceling their debts.

MAKING FoRruHEs.

They had a great excitement in the
New York stock market on Tuesday. 1t
was tremendous, and was caused by 3
rise in Erie No such excitement has
been witnessed before on Wall street for
several years. Numerous instances are
reported of negotiators in stocks having
made immense sums The number Of
shares that changed hands is estimated
at two hundred thousand. The opening
price of 81 rapidly advanced in the morn
ing, and, under the stimulous Of orders
to buy telegraphed from Europe, the
price had reached 60 at the close. The
World, editorially, says that Jay Gould
alone nets a profit of 81, 245, 600, and
expresses its suspicion that Tuesday 8
business was but feature of the great
plot Of the Sickles combination to make
colossal fortunes. A man who works
all the year round for just enough hog
aud hominy to keep himself and family
alive. will open his eyes 10 astOaishmeni

riblc tragedy occurred at the Littl,

came to the hotel and took a room. Yes

screams and pistol shots were heard, and
the man came out saying he had shot
her, and gave himself up to the police.
1t seems that they were quarreling, when
he put his arm around her neck and fred
four shots, all of which missed her, ex-
cept the last. He then threw her down,
put his knee on her breast, and shot her
through the neck fatally, she dying in a

MODEST DEMAND.

A pamphlet has been published ant
circulated among the negroes of Souti
Carolina with the following rather
unique title:
1.-The Political Battle Axe Tor the use
of'Colored Men of the State of South
Carolina in the Year 1872, with Consti
tutien of the Progressive Association,
By Kush.
Among other modest demands that
"Kush" makes is this: I'VE want and
must have during the next two years in
this State eighty thousand Rural Home
stead Farms, of ten acres each, for
eighty thousand families Of freedmen,
now without homes"
Hurrah for "Kush" Let the lands
come, plank down the dust, rob the
owners of lands, despoil their estates to
set the Kushites up in the world That
is platform enough for one Niger. OF
course he will get the land, if he has to
stink the owners out Of the State.

A MARRIOTT.

The World, that is never happy I'M
less it is intensely partisan. hints at the
probability Of a third presidential can
didate That means tive Republican
and one Democratic. The World is a
great newspaper, but such a suggestion
from such source may do great mis-
chief, and il followed up by other Demo
cratic papers will ruin the Cincinnati
Convention. II, after that body shall
have nominated Davis, or any
other Republican, Democratic
candidate is placed in the field, the Re.
publicans who would have co-operated
with the Democracy, would go of in a
body to Grant The idea that two Re

Is THIS AN ANSWERS

A Southern paper asks: DO we need
new party because the principles oil
the Democratic party as at present or
ganized, are not orthodox Or is 1t be-
cause the men composing that party
cannot be trusted2 Not at all. The
difficulty is, the principles Of the Demo
cratic party, being the principles OF the
Constitution, are too good for the time.
They have become. not perhaps unpopu-
lar with thinking men, but with the
masses who control the ballot-box in the
North, effete. The men who lead the
Democratic party, in one particular
cannot be trusted, or rather they can
not be relied on by the spectators and
thieves to wink at their operations.
Therefore the Democrats are not wanted
in power. The rings do not want an
honest administration. The day an
honest government is inaugurated at
Washington, drives them to the jails, the
penitentiaries and the uttermost ends of
the earth. No new party is proposed,
and no new principles suggested. Demo
Gratis who shall support Conservative
Republican will sacrifice no principle il
their peculiar tenets are not brought
into question. The election of Presl-
dent is a practical question, just as
much as cutting down tree. Does it
matter whether an obnoxious tree be cut
down or Wing, Republican or Demo
cratic principles2 Who ever thinks of
carrying his politics into mere matters
of detail? Now the Democrats who are
willing to vote for Conservative Repub-
lean will do 80 for specific reason.
There is an obnoxious tree to be cut
down and got rid Of. 1t shades the land
and stunts its productions. That tree
is Grant. Republicans Of the Davis
school and Democrats agree that he
should be cut down. Does it matter on
what principle it is done, so it as doneY
The defeat Of Grant is the only question
involved in the coming canvass. The
Democrats are too weak to accomplish
the work. Nobody disputes that. Well,
then, must the Democracy go into the
conflict with defeat already inscribed
upon their banners2 Ne wise man will
advise such course. But right into the
hands Of the Democracy springs q rein
forcement from the ranks Of the enemy.
Here is q diversion Republicans who
despise Grant as much as the Democracy
do, are breaking away from the Radical
organization, and advertise to hold
convention TO discuss the subject
Of putting q conservative, anti-Grant
candidate in the 6eld. If they do
SO, what would be wisdom on the
part Of the Democracy That is the
question. Would il be better 70 vote in
