Baltimore Nominations.

The great agony is over. The rati-
fcation meeting has convened and the
nomination is ratified. Horace Greeley,
the Sage of Chappaqaa, the hero of a
thousand defeats, the great advocate of
undertaking, has drained the Democ-
racy to the bedrock, and demonstrated
the efficacy of his pet theory. B.
Gratz Brown, of Missouri has received
the nomination for Vice President.
The Cincinnati platform is adopted, and
the fight now ensucs between Grant
and Greeley. This is virtually the
requiem of the Democratic party. As
a party it is thing of the past. That
grand, old organization with its "time
honored principles" will live only in
history, and that noticed only BY few
who live more in the past than the pres
ent. There is yet hope for the most
visionary and inconsistent. " hen
Horace Greeley, the great champion
of a high protective tariff, lifelong
advocate of aboiitionism-than whom
we would think none could be more
ctionable-receiyes the endorse
ment of his bitterest enemies for the
highest office in the gift Of the people,
it is time that people were preparing
to accept anything without being taken
by surprise.
But what will be the result /? is the
all important question now. 1t canpot
be other than the election of General
Grant. The prime movers in the Gin
cinnati Convention, endorsed by the
leaders at Baltimore, knew full well
and confidently expected to be beaten
at this election but they concluded to
lay the ground work for contest four
years hence. They wanted to form a
nucleus around which they could work
the next four years-somebody had to
be slaughtered on the party altar, and
as Horace Greeley had always wanted
to get Presidential honors, and would
sacrifice anything for such nomination,
it was rendered him in the hope thai
he might lead off few Republicans
and form party which, at the next
election, would stand good show for
success. The result this time is fore
gone conclusion. Grant will be re.
elected by a larger majority than he
received before, and Grceley-well, he
will be lett to cogitate upon the i'm
practicability of raising figs upor
thorns, or reaping Republican victory
from the barren and de@olatcd fields 0
modern Democracy.

The Farce Ended.

The game commenced by the Democ-
racy for political effect is at last over.
Sam May, who was arraigued by the
Democracy for no other than party sue
cess, has, at last, been brought to trial
and acquitted. The idea was entertained
that by bringing him to trial on the eve
Of an election that thousands of the hon
est voters of the State would believe him
guilty and the effect would be to retain
the Democracy in power and allow them
another opportunity to carry on the in
famous legislation which they had COM
menced, for the sole hcnefit of rings
and cliques, and the enrichment of a
few party favorites. The first indict>
ments were dismissed upon demurrer
but the opposition unwilling to allow
the opportunity for making capital to
slip, sworc out other indictments and
held Mr. May, in order to make the
most Ct the matter during the campaign.
After the election, it was found that
the object had failed and the State had
profted by two years bitter experience
aud bad ousted the party which was SO
regardless of the rights and interests Of
the people. Then it was but moments
work to decide that the prosecution was
not of as much moment as had at first

Senator Brownlow of Tennessee is
bound to disappoint those politicians
waiting for his shoes. He is now in
better health than for six years past.
The "vital spark" doesn't "aicker" at
all, we are told by a local paper, but
gives a steady light which promises to
burn after Democracy is dead and for
gotten.

Land Grants for Railroads.

He OFeJoHtuU SECS III W uluer Will
US, and not with US only, but the great
mass of the Republican party of the
country, under the leadership of Pres
ident Grant, upon the question of land
grants for railroads. This it has a right
to do if it chooses, but we do protest
against the idea advanced by that paper
that the great Republican party was
compelled to aba don what it pleases to
term zone of the proudcst things in the
record of the party" by little disaffec>
ton which eliminated in the farce en-
acted at Cincinnati. In the formation
of new parties it is often necessary to
yield little to principle advocated
by an opposition. But tor great party
like the republican, being induced to
yield great and all important principle
for tho qualification Of a few soreheads
aud mal-contents, is absurd in the ex-.
treme, No one would deny that TIE re-
sources of the great west have been de-
vcloped by the advantages derived from
the development Of the railroad inter
ests. Tie facilities for transportation
have been increased, immigration en-
couragcd and general Interests advan>
ced. This is patent to the understanding
of every one-No one complains of the
result, but many DO complain aud justly
too, at the cost at which it has been
done Many among the best men in the
party saw it years ago and entered a
protest against it-Presldent Grant saw
it and recommended in his message
that this policy be changed F.; the great
Republican party of the nation said it
and encrafted protest against it in
convention assembled; the mass OF
the people saw it. and stood ready and
as it was promulgated, Not from any
clamor raised at Cincinnati, not through
fear Of defeat, raised by the course OF
the opposition, but from sense OF
! Justice, reason aud interest. We may
| build a structure, Of which Ne may be
! Justly proud. but after the main portion
| is built and we see that it has been done
at too great n cost, would it be unrea-
sonable to curtail the cost as much as
possible 10 finishing the remainder :.
All can see at once the position occupied
by the Republicans, they do not pro.
pose to cheek the advance OF railroad
interests, but to support them in some
way which shall not build up gigantic
monopo!ics at such terrible expense to
Fthe people. We have no fight to make
with the Oregonian only as it draws Us
into controversy in defending great
principle engrafted in the Platform OF
that party Of which we claim to be an
humble memher--a principle which
has been ours for years, though in op-
position to the mass Of tho party, and
one which we were satisfied would
eventually be adopted by the party
principle which has at last become the
great and perhaps all important measure
of the party when these or any other
great, leading, principles Of the party
are assaied, We are in duty bound e
defend them, even though assailcd by
one with whom we would like to stanC
shoulder to shoulder, advocating what
we conceive to be the best interests 0
the people.

The San Francisco Chronicle says ::
A prominent Federal official, just re-
turned from Washington, had the pleas
ure of Dining with President Grant.
An ardent Greeleyite met the official
yesterday, and being informed of the
dinner party, asked, "What did Grant
say about the election ?" Nothing par
ticular," evasively responded the Grant
man. I" He must have said something
about Greeley; what was it ?"Persist-
antly inquired the Greeleyite. The
Federal official winked his eyes, read
justed bis spectacles and replied, "WelI
he said he'd like to run against Greeley.
He had made number of Federal APP
pointments at Greeley's recommends
ton, and they were all now in the va
rious State Prisons" The Greeleyite
asked no more questions.

The Geneva Arbitration.

GENEVA, July 16.-The Board of Arbitration
met to-day. A large quantity of printed mat
ter was submitted TO the Board and exchanged
by the agents of Great Britain and the United
States. No other business was done, the court
adjourning after session of less than thirty
minutes duration.
GENEVA, July 1.-THE Board assembled to-
day an hour earlier than usual. The proceed
ipgs are somewhat delayed in consequence of
the difference of languages spoken by the
members OF the court, which rendered it a
tedious transaction, and explanations are
settled, and the Board has finally decided to
take up the case of each ship Seridtim.
GENEVA, July lS.-The British agent to-day
presented a demurrer, praying that the Tri-
bunal exclude the cases Of the Tallahassee,
Chickamauga, Sumter Nashville, Retribution,
Boston, Sallie, JEFF. Davis, V. II. Joy, and
Music. summary Of the American argu-
ment, and statement in the case of the
Florida, were presented to-day.
GENEVA, July l9.-To-davs session lasted
from until 4 o'clock. All the members Of the
Board were present. The English and Amer-
can counsel were engaged the greater part of
the day, yesterday and until late hour last
night, in preparing their pleadings. 1t is sup
posed that the discussion to-day was devoted
to the question of the responsibility OF Eng
land, which Lord Tenterden denies. The
court adjourned until Monday. Great precau-
tlons have been taken TO secure secrecy IN the
proceedings of the Board.
GENEVA, July 20.-Gentlemen connected
with the Board of Arbitration still preserve
the most profound secrecy on the subject of
it's proceedings. The counsel of the Govern
nlents of Great Britain and the Uniled States
refuse to answer any communications on ques-
tions pending, in order to prevent the inter-
ference of newspapers and the possibility Of
their exercising an influence on the minds of
the arbitrators. Hereafter the Board will
hold five sessions per week. sitting every day
except Saturdays and Sundays.
GENEVA, July 22.-The Board of Arbitration
reassembled this afternoon about l o'clock.
After remaining in session until 4, it adjourned
until tomorrow
The claims for damages caused by the ves-
sells Boston, Salle, jeff. Davis, Joy and Music
have been dismissed by the Arbitration. The
demurrer of Great Britain concerning the
other vessels is overruled. The case of the
Florida was concluded to-day. The decision,
it is believed, awards S2600,0 900 damages for
her depredations. The Board took up the
case OF the Alabama to-day.

as in Europe, because the sum cannot

affect the United States is an important
question. 1t is thought that, as the

only affect us indirectly, by tightening

have so many relations.

Grants Reelection Necessary.

We need scarcely call attention to the
inadequate but striking synopsis of the
speech of Secretary Boutwell, at Greens
boro', North Carolina. 1t strikes the
key note for the music Of this campaign.
He protested against the advice to clasp
hands across bloody chasm. The hand
clasping, delightful and tempting as it
seemed, had better be delayed till the
chasm can be filled up, and both parties
can meet fraternally above the closed
abyss on solid ground. The bloody
chasm could not be filled. he said, till
the South agreed, not only that all were
equal before the law, but that they ought
10 be, for only in the prevalence of this
sentiment can law for the protection
of personal rights be enforced.
He said that the financial policy of
Grants administration was /, 10 secure
the faithful collection of the public reve-
nues; ., reduction of the public expen.

and reduce the interest account; 4, re.

Johnson himself manifested contempt
for the laws and set his subordinates
the fatal example. He expressed be-
lief in the practicablity of funding the

ent policy could be prolonged; but if
Greeley could come into power and sell
all the gold in the Treasury, and under
take to resume specie payments at once,
as he has, for the last three years, been
clamorously urging the Secretary of the
Treasury to do, the credit of the country
would certainly suffer shipwreck. "I
do not hesitate to Declare" said Mr..
Boutwell,, "that an enforcement of this
policy, which is the only policy in any
department of the Government to which
Mr.. Greeley has adhered of even three
years, would end in disasters such as
the country has not witnessed since

Greeley,s Alliance with Tammany.

If Mr.. Greeley never made, or nobody
ever made for him, a corrupt bargain
with Tammany Democrats, he is, never.
theless, the candidate of that party. IL
his nomination at Cincinnati was not
preconcerted thing, it nevertheless was
hailed with delight by the worst rebel
element that had gathered there from
the South, and which will accept any
thing that promises disorder and dis
organization it was accepted with
loathing and disgust by the very few
mistaken reformers who could BRING
themselves to tolerate it; and 1t was
rejected with scorn by nearly all those
who meant what they said when they
asked for reform. If Mr.. Greeley's un-
fitness for the position he covets cannot
be proved by showing what he promls-
ed to pay for it, his unfitness is never
theless manifest and is not denied, that
we know of, by single sensible man
in the country. After all that can be
said, or cannot be said, this fact remains
this damning, unmlstakable, and, SO
far as there is any danger of Mr.. Gree
ley's election, this alarming fact, that
he is the candidate of that party which
in the administration of local govern
ments, and the administration of the
general government, has reached, with.
in the last quarter of a century, to an
assumption Of despotic power, and to
its corrupt use, which has cost US al.
ready one war of four years which is
a constant menace of civil anarchy
is constant threat of financial ruin
is a constant reproach to the cause of
popular government, and is a uniform
if not an unanswerable argument all
over the world against republics and in
favor of monarchy. Those who are
willing to risk the return of such
party to rover may vote for Greeley,
because of some personal and selfish
end they are to gain by his election;
but any man of common sense and
common honesty who has nothing to
gain by it, but yet advocates his cleo
ton, seems to us to be under delusion
the most lamentable, or an infatuation
little short of insanity.-Ne,o York Even-
