Views OF THE ORGAN OF THE DEM
OCRATS IN CONGRESS.
From the Washington Patriot.l

lcloW tue WoouluetVu 1otilob'l
The Republican organization has already
been shattered to the centre by the Cincin-
natl movement, and this nomination will
complete the work Of destruction. For q long
lime editor of the leading Republican journal
of the country, and editing 1t with q power,
vigor, and %intrepidity such as none OF his
party associates could pretend to match, Mr..
Greeley's name has become q household word
among the Republicans. He built up IN a
great measure the party OF whose power Cen
eral Grant Is now the beneficiary. Ills
admitted integrity, %outspoken frankness, ha-
bits OF independence, and moral courage, and
even his little personal peculiariiies, however
curious. have given him an Individual pop
ularlty such as General Grant never, even In
his palmy days, possessed. The nomination
bodies no good, therefore, to the Ring candi-
date at the Philadelphia Convention.
The Democratic National committee vii
meet Ia New York on Wednesday next, to de-
termine upon the time and place of holding
the National Democratic Convention. This
convention will be composed Of the wlsest,
ablest, best and most patriotic men Of the
party from all States and sections OF the coun-
try, and will aulhoritattvely speak the wish OF
the great Democratic heart. It's first duty will
be to present to the people such candidates as
will command the respect aud secure the sup
port of the good and true men of the country,
and rally to the standard they bear the great
body of tho.e who regard the promotion of
the best interests of the nation as the para
duty Of the patriotic citizen.

THE LIBERAL BOMBSHELL.
HOW THE NOMINATION. OF HORACE
GREELEY W4S BROUGHT ABOUT.
Wild Enthusiasm In the Convention
The Platform In FuII-Enect OF the
News In Washtngton-The News in
Columbia-General Political Notes.

The Northern papers are crowded with re-
ports from and speculations and comments
upon the Cincinnati Convention. A dispatch
Of Friday night to .ne Washington Patriot
gives the following account of how Horace
Greeley happened to be nominated:
Greeley's nomination may be said to have
been caused by one of those storms Of passion
to which all popular assemblages are exposed.
Every vote changed was cheered BY the New
York delegation with a sort of wild enthusl-
asm, which operated magnetically upon the
States that followed. When the sixth ballot
commenced, Adams led the poll ffty-one
vtes, and all the indications pointed to hls
success, and the contest did not grow animated
until Georgia suddenly broke the line. From
that instant the stampede was general, until 1t
resulted in an overwhelming victory for Cree
leH. The usual formalitfes were quite forgot
ten in the uproar. that followed the motion
to make the nomination unanimous. which
came from q New'Yerk delegate. The mo-
ton was finally put; but while there was q
loud and general aye, there were q great
many nays, and the chair decided that it was
not unanimous. he decided, however, that
Hon. Horace Greeley was the nominee Of the
convention for President Of the United States.

TEE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
The Democratic Leaders Perplexed and
Unwilling to Commit Themselves.
WASHINGTON, Fay 4

WASHINGTON, Lay 4.
The nomination, while It excites mirth In
all high political. circles here. seriously
changes the probable programme. Demo-
cratic leaders were virtually pledged 10 the
Cincinnati Convention, with Davis as the
sfandard-bearer, but now the shrewdest politi-
clans predict a square Democratic nomina-
ton.
A very general informal conference was held
by the Democratic senators and members
during the afternoon, and 1t was determined,
with great unanimlty, that on their part there
should be no public Individual approval OF the
Cincinnati ticket, but that the members of the
Democratic party In Congress should delay
their preferences until the voice of the whole
party should be heard In the National Demo-
cratic Convention on the Cincinnati ticker, and
that, whether the convention should be for or
against 1t, every member should be bound by
its decision. II was thought that In no Other
way could the harmony and organization OF the
Democratic party be maintained. Several
Democratic members, however, spoke In
approval of the Liberal nominees.

TIE DEVELOPMENT OF BERLIN:
Tho Rise In Rents.

Few towns have to record so rapid a develop
ment of their prosperity as modern Berlin. In
the last year especially the progress has been
marvellous. AS though a golden flood had
deluged it, says a correspondent of a London
paper, this candy and sterile region becomes
suddenly productive OF untold wealth. For a
Lwelvemonth banks and Commercial companies
of every description have been sprlngtng up
here like mushrooms after rain. Hundreds OF
millions o. thalers have been invested In new
shares, and huge sums realized by the rising
tendency of the market. Though the move
ment continues with undated vigor, the pub
lie are ever willing to take up fresh securities,
and there seems to be no end to the gains Of
founders and actionnaires. Already the Ber-
Lin banks have become nearly as numerous
as those of London. The shareholding com.
panies extend TO every class of manufacture
and commerce, and, being mostly based upon
the purchased goodwill of old and respecta.
BILE hrms, promise safe returns. Their. ener-
getIc activity is Iivalled by private specula-
lions, consumption increasing In the same ra-
Ito, and many more orders coming In than
can be executed. The Iworkingman shares
in the advantages OF this industrial revival,
aud receives from fifty to one hundred per
cent. llRner Wages Lldu was LILO SaSo OLA
years ago. The price of provisions and rents
have likewise gone up with extraordinary
swiftness.
Owing to the steady influx of wealthy peo-
pie from the provinces elegant houses In this
city are now worth twice, nay, thrice as much
as three years ago, and even the poorest ofthe
poor have to pay at least fifty per cent. more
than In 1869. l 4 TX I an keeping within
bounds wien 1 say at the rent exacled from
the middle and lower classes is half as much
again as the present London standard. Other
indications likewise show the increasing de-
mand Tor The luxuries of life and better means
of satisfying 1t. The consumption OF gas has
nearly doubled during the last two years.
Market halle, an old desideratpm, are about to
be erected In all parts OF the town. The sew
erage is at last to be perfected, notwlthstand-
ing the Immense cost It will occasion, IN q
level plain, and at such q distance from the
sea. The number of eQuipages aud vehicles
Of every kind ia prodiglous In comparison to
what it was, and every daily necessary, from 3
grest-coat to q sprig of parsley. has additional
value attached to 1t by the vender. Last, not
least, the budget OF the city, from four million
thalers In 1868, has risen to between six and
seven millions, and, If improvements continue
at the present rate, will soon attain an even
higher figure.
