The Ohio delegation which was in
attendance at the Cincinnati Con.
vention, was thoroughly disgusted
with the bargain and sale by which
Greeley and Brown were nominsted.
They held meeting, after the Con
Vention adjourned, and strongly de
nouaced the nominees. Judge
Woody announced that he would
make an active campaign and a
hard fight for Grant, and others did
likewise. tits perfectly evident the
whole thing will prove an inglorious
fizzle; and it has fewer supporters
to-day, among the Republicans of
Ohio, than before the Convention
was held. Stanley Mathews will al
so take the field for Grant.

In ANOTHER COLUMN, Will be found
8 call from the Directors of the Car
Company for an assessment Of 3 per
cent on the capital stock to be paid
June first, and of 10 per. cont to be
paid July first. The location has
been made on the epike, on the Phelps
lot, White, Wilson and Sheldon
voting for, and Buckland and Raw
son against. We, as well as many
others, have opposed the location
from an honest belief that the best
interests of the company would not
be subserved by locating it there.
That itwould require more expense,
in various ways, to run it there than
elsewhere, and that it was a useless
expense to entail upon the stock
holders the purchase of that lot when
another equally well located could
have been obtained as a donation,
with a sufficient cash subscription
to thoroughly protect it from any
damage from backwater. The ma
jority of Directors have thought
otherwise, and have assumed the re
sponsibility of making the choice.
1t now devolyes upon them to make
a success of it at that point. They
have already advertised for propos-
ais for the necessary quantity of
brick, and we presume will hurry the
work to completion, unless they meet
with some unforeseen difficulty.

The Right Doctrine.

The following, which we copy from
the Y Youngstown Viadicator, express
es our views, and should be the posi-
ton of every opponent of the present
corrupt Grant dynasty, however much
he may be opposed to the nominees
of the Cincinnati Convention
Will VIC stand by the action of the
Baltimore Convention? gssif
Yesi sssssr.9 g7e t-ffslFs dsfH
Whatever the action, and whoever
the nominees of that Convention, they
WILL be far superior to those of the
Radical Philadelphia Convention, and
II no Democrat can hesitate as to his
endorsement of the superior" s.i.
1t does look to-day as if Greeley
would be ratified by. the Baltimore
Convention. We have contributed
our mite toward the avoidance of such
consummation, and shall continue
to do so up to the holding of the Com
yention; but there is spot in the po-
litical horizon which warns us that
our side of the question is doomed to
defeat. We hope this spot may. pass
calmly away, but we hope against the
conviction that it will not. Whatev-
er the action of the Convention, how
ever. we here, in advance, ,grely ying up
on the wisdom of the delegated rep
resentatives of the party of the whole
country, say that we viii swallow IL.
"Swallow" is what the Radicals call
it, and we are prepared, if the issue
comes to Greeley versus Grant, to
show them bit of Democratic pill
swallowing. 3fii io aiif 3'ii

! GIFT TAKING. = Senator Sumner
says that General Grant has changed
the Presidential Office into personal
lnstramentality not unlike the trunk
of an elephant-apt for all things,
small as well as great. He might
have further illustrated by saying
from bull pup to Long Branch cot
tage.
WHAT STANTON SAID. - Senator
Sumner, IN his speech, says that Sec
retary Stanton said TO him just prevl-
Gus TO his death: 81 know General
Grant better than any other person

The Honest Man.

Shortly previous to General Grants
Inauguration, he sold his dwelling in
Washington City which by the by had
been presented TO him, TO Mr.. Sayies
j. Bowen for $4,000. Mr.. Bowen
paid down $1,000 to bind the bargain,
and Grant entered into a. covenant to
make him a deed in fee. s]ia.s51a .

ter this sale, raised 100000 with

Mr.. Bowen settled, on the receipt of
Il good office, and Grant pocketed the
extra $25,O00. In other words, he

What the Reelection of Grant
Means.

The Kestlische Post begs the con-
scientious reformer to Consider what
the reelection ofGrant and the con-
tinuance ofthe present policy mean.
1t says:
They mean The application of more
Oppressive military rule in the South,
aud not the policy of reconciliation.
They mean a continued support OF
the shameless carpet bag governments
in the formerly rebellious States.
They mean contiHucd cherishIng
of hatred and animosity between the
North and the South.
They mean acts of nepotism and iar
voriteism, which will operate with a
still more Immoral influence upon the
public service If the people, by the re-
election of Gram, show that these are
matters of no concern to them. t
They mean new bloom and crop
of corruption, not alone in the custom
houses of New Orleans, but in the
whole country. t." il A'if
They mean the resumption and then
the carrying through of the San Do
mingo speculation, which Grant re-
lino0ished because he feared that it
would damage his chances for fe-elec-
ton. p fr i5 ifilS l5-~
They mean acontinuanceo of the out
landish foreign policy which has al
most succeeded in making the name
of the American Republic a by-word
and reproach abroad, and has brought
the danger of trouble with foreign
powers.
They mean further despotic inter
ference of the States, packing party
T ~ hn l,,il,os.x- the
delegates with Government patron
age. si44Sie - ~ ''t3 81
They mean greater audacity than ev-
er of military srings" which have sur
rounded the President, and have ena-
bled him to use the substance for his
own benefit
They mean that the peoples voice
shall sanction and whiteWash the
Presidents assumption of power. q
They mean the continued bondage
of the office-holders, who even now
do not dare TO speak for fear OF losing
their bread and butter.
They mean the complete servility
of Congress to the President, the APP
proval of all unlawful acts, the white
washing of all corruption, and an un-
scrupulous and demoralizing party
despotism such as we have never yet
seen, and we have already seen mach
more than we are able to bear. .
The reelection OF Grant means all
this, and, indeed, in increased meas
ure. for through the bare fact of this
reelection, the fear of displeasing the
people will prevail, and loose rein
will be given TO the arbitrary rule of
the White House.
All these things will as certainly
follow the reelection of Grant as
thunder follows lightning.

The Toledo Democrat publishes a list
oflover one hundred names of promi-
nent, influential and representative
citizens of Toledo, who have hereto
fore acted inside the Republican or
ganization, but who now renounce
their allegiance to that party and ally
themselves with the Democracy in the

Terrible Boiler Explosion in the
Ohio PeniteDtiary.

On Friday morning at about six o.
! clock the large boileI-over twenty six
! feet long, in Lough's Brush Factory,
within he walls OF the Ohio Peniten-
I tiary, exploded, tearing the brick
building in pieces, and shiverIng the
roof into small fragments and badly
woundin@ twchty-siX of the convicis-
The scene i'll the hospital, where the
wounded men were conveyed, beg
gars description. Some OF them had
! their1acessso badly iniureSk and were
swollen as hardly TO be recognized as
human others blackened and bruised
on their. breasts and bodies, suffered
indescribabie tortures. Like men
wounded on the field of battle, their
thirst was almost intolersble, and sew
eral of the convi9ts were detailed TO
fetch water for their RELIEF.
The boiler had scarcely any water
in it. Rumor SAYS it wss exceedingly
defective. 1t had been in use two
years.
To gain an idea of the awful force
with " hich the boiler exploded, it is
only necessary to state that heavy pie
ces of boiler iron, weighing from three
hundred to FIVE hundred pounds were
hurled in air over adjacent buildings
and landed at distance of from two
hundred and fifty to three hundred
feet from the scene of disaster. The
weights on the safety valve were
thrown to near the front of the build
ing, perhaps six hundred feet from the
boiler. Briekbats, pieces of slate and
other missiles were thrown through
the air as if hurled from an exploding
mine, and every building and shop in
the Enclosure was more. or less injured
by the missiles crushing through the
roofs.
The force of the explosion was such
that the western gates of the Prison
yard, over five hundred feet distant,
were blown wide open. Such was
the surprise and CONSERVATION of all
the prisoners, that, thought it was some
little time before any ono was suffi-
ciently collected to close them, yet
no one attempted to escape. All were
beWildered with the noise of the ex-
plosion, many in distant shops think
inc il an earthquake that was to en-
gulf the city. One hundred and six
fy men, at the time of the explosion.
were within thirty yards ofthe boiler,
vet less than thirty were severely III
jnred. i5ta
The explosion took place immedi-
ately after the convicts had finished
their breakfast. The squad working
in the brush factory are the last to
leaye the dining hall. Upon reaching
their workshop, under the rules five
minutes are devoted to prayer. For
tunate for many of them was this
short prayer, for had they been at
their work tho list tofs4wOuffdttQ would
have been greatly increased. The floor
of the brush shop is covered with rub
bisli, in some places to the depth of
ten. feet, and on the south side the
whole building is lying on the ground
a mass of shapeless ruins, and all
| through them are scattered ponderous
beams and pieces of machinery heavy
enough to crush to death any one i'll
reach when they fell.
The cause of the terrible accident is
to be investigated.

British Outrage.

A Washington special says the State
Department has received dispatches
fron George Holt, our counsel at
Gaspe Basin, Canada. to the effect that
fhe captain of the Dominion cutter
Stella Marie captured the American
schooner James Bliss for alleged vio-
lations of the DoBlinion laws, and
brought her into port with the Do
nlinion flag flying at the peak over
fhe American flag, which was Paii
down. Our consul protested against
the insult, but it was repeated, and it
is understood that the action was
sanctioned by the highest Dominion
authorities.

Rronchitis.

This is an irritation or. inflammation
of the bronchial tubes which carry the
air we breathe into the lungs. 1t ari-
es from a cold settled in the throat,
from Catarrh extending TO these parts,
from scrofnlous affections, and from
severe use of the voice. The irrita-
ton from this latter cause commences
in the lasync and glotis, which are the
organs of the voice, and, extending
downwards, produces hoarseness,
coughing, and splitting mucous mat
Ter, sometimes mixed with blood. Il
is chiefly dangerous from its tenden-
cy to spread into the lungs and ter
inmate in consumption. 1t is in the
cure of severe and obstinate cases OF
this disease that DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has achieved I'M
paralIeled success, and won the loud
est praise t.om all who have used it.
1t is sold by all respectable DRUGGISTS.

THAT CoNFERENcE.-On the 2Oth
inst, a number of leading. politicians
opposed to Grants reelection assem-
bled at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, IN
New York, TO consider the situation,
and devise some means by which the
elements of opposition to the present
administration may be harmonized iii
the coming contest Most of those
present at the meeting expressed the
opinion that the object could be best
accomplished by ysupporting Mr.. Gree
ley, and declared their purpose to do
SO. Among them were Schurz, Trum-
bull, Judge Brinkerhoff and others,
whose position had heretofore been
considered doubtful. The conference
finally adjourned without, as a body,
expressing preference for any nom-
inee. After the adjournment, those
who were dissatisfied with the action,
or rather non-action of the conference,
got up supplemental meeting, and
proceeded to the work of nominating
candidates for President and Vice
President, and TO put the machinery
in operation for harmonizing the po-
litical elements; but before they had
fairly begun their work, Ex-Governor
Cox, of Ohio, and one or two others
bolted and left the room. But, noth-
ing daunted, this little band of braves
pnshed on the work, and put in NOM
ination for President, VIM. S. Groes-
beck, of Ohio and for Vice President,
Frederick Law Olmstead, of New Jer-
sey, and adopted . platform strongly
denouncing the Liberal platform and
Greeley. This effort of few outside
voluntary organizations TO unite the
elements of.opposition don't promise
TO meet with much success. The
Democratic Convention soon TO as
semble at Baltimore as the representa-
tive of three millions of voters, will
name its leaders, declare its policy
and point ont clearly the road TO a
glorious triumph over the rotten, cor
rupt, and despotic dynasty that now
rules the country. Until then let us
patiently watch and wait. And when
that great body of Democratic repre-
sentativcs from all sections of the
Union shall have proclaimed the pur-
poses of the people, let the opponents
of Grant and his rings accept their de-
cision and sustain it by their votes.
and the fate of the official brigands
who have so long been plnndering
the people and peryerting the Govern
ment of Washington, jefferson and
their compatriots, from a simple Fed
eral Union to centralized despotism
to be controlled by the bayonet at the
will of single man. will be forever
sealed. Such a consnmmation is
worth our united efforts, and of much
personal sacrifice. Rsa al saa
