NEW YORK.
The Raornine Journals of Gotham
on the Nominations.

NEW YoRK, May 9.--Nearly all the
morning journals contain editorial COM
ments on the meeting of the Democratic
National Committee yesterday, and ex-
press their views concerning its tendency
upon the Convention to be held in Balti-
more on the ninth Of July. sl.Esaifl
The World says there has, perhaps,
never been time when the proceedings
of the Democratic National Convention
we're looked forward to with as much in
tense interest. In postponlng their
nomination for President and Vice-Presl
ident until all other candidates shall
have been selected, indicates their will
ingness to enter into some combination
whereby the overthrow of the Republi-
can party and change in the National
Administration may be rendered prob
able. Hts
The Herald regards the nomination OF
Grant at Philadelphia certainty. 10
fail to nominate Grant would be to give
up the contest and abandon the Repub-
lican organization. 1t predicts his re-
election should he urge the resignation
of Secretary Fish and the recall OF MIN
lister Washburne from Paris to bill the va.
cancy.
The Times, referring to the action OF
the Committee, considers the feeling OF
the members are decidedly against sup
porting Greeley. a,6f %
Inasmuch as the convention meets this
time under extraordinary circumstances,
il is of the highest consequence that DEL
epations from every State consist of citi-
Gems who possess the full confidence OF
the party. This the World has no doubt
will be done, in which case it contends
that the Democratic party will accept
the action ofthe convention, and move on
to victory, amid all diversity ofviews and
unsettling preferences which have lately
prevailed. There has been no symptoms
of any breach or weakening of the old
party discipline. All that the party
claims is the right of free citizens, to
express their preference, and which they
will yield in a spirit of patriotic conces-
sion if they are oyerruled by the con-
yention. The Tribune has no editorial
on the subject.
The Times Washington special says
The arms committee, Of the Senate,
held meeting yesterday for the pur-
pose of considering the reports of the
arms investigation. All the members OF
the committee we're present, for the first
time. since the investigation closed.
The majority report, which will include
all the members, except Governor Ste
vens, was considered at length, and it
was resolved to report the same 10 the
Senate Friday. This report will vindi-
cate the government in every important
particular. On Friday Stevens will
present his minority report.

ALCOHOLIzED ARNICA,
Prepared by the RR. FF. Trappists,
Monastery OF Notre Dame DIES
Nelges, Ardeche, France.

A RNICA, AS USUALLY SOLD IN THIS
N country, is manufactured from the dried
flowers which, as may be imagined, must
have lost much of their original strength
during the process of desication. The Trap
MIST Fathers, having the facility Of preparing
their AlcOholized Arnica on the spot where
the plant grows naturally, and at the moment
Of blOssOminR when II contains all its active
properties, are thereby enabled TO offer o
remedy which SURPRISES anything of its kind
that can be had in this country.
Wherever their Arnica has been tried 10 has
been held in great demand. 1t may be we'll
10 state that besides the advantage resulting
from the use Of this remedy, the purchase Of
the same is a great act Of charity. as thus an
assistance is afforded TO the poor religious
who depend chiefly on this resource for subsist-
ence. The misfortunes which befell the princi-
pal cities Of France are well known the good
have suffered as we'll as the wicked; and the
monks of la 1fdppe. who sHbsisted chiefly on
aims. have been refused the bread of charity
which we can procure for them.
The Rev. Francis D'Assise. one Of the Trap
pist Fathers Of Notro Dame des Neiges. is
citizens Of Memphis. Being DESTROYS Of
having an agency through which the medica-
ment will be handed 70 our citizens without
fear Of being adulterated, be has succeeded
in securing the Christian Brothers rs agents

The sailors Strike Becomes Gener-
nJ-COmmeree Retarded Thereby
The Authorities Called Upon for
Assistance.
LoSDoS, May S.-The strike Of the
sailors in outhampton, which was in
augurated several days ago, has become
general, and it is feared that it will
greatly interfere with sailing vessels and
the commerce Of the port generally.
Large numbers of seamen are now in
town and refuse to work unless their de-
mands for an increased rate Of wages
and reduction Of the hours Of labor
are complied with. Seamen who have
been employed by the ship-owners to
replace the strikers, have been threat
ened and intimidated to such an extent
that they were compelled to quit work
on risk Of their lives. 1t has on several
occasions been found necessary TO call
in the aid Of the authorities in order to
repress the violences Of the strikers.
A dispatch just received in this city
contains information of terrible ca
lamity which befel the town Of Vellore,
in British India, during hurricane THAT
