n, York Al 900 for hs vote. scene OF terrible confu-
son epsued lasting some time. when, under the ono
sided ruling OF the Chairman, nomination was ordered'
tho ballot resulting; Moses, CO.; Melton 10; Chamber
lain, 16; Tomlinson, TO-"
Mr.. Tomlinson, who got Is votes, was the
special candidate of ex-Congressman and
cadet-broker Whittemore; and it was charged
in the Convention that he had used his office
as State Auditor to make money out OF cor
poratiOns, that he had accepted brbe OF
$4,000, and that he had been deeply impli-
Gated in the fraudulent railway ring. Car
doza, the colored candidate for Secretary OF
State, was a candidate for denomination, and
it was charged against him that he was impli-
Gated in fraudulent bond transaction. ln-
deed, there were but few candidates suggested
by either of the factions whose record was not
soiled with bribery, theft, or some other Varl-
ETY. of fraud. Finally the Convention broke
up in row, and ex-Gov. Orr, with about
forty or fifty Others organized bolters'
meeting and nominated new ticket. Inc
scandals and recriminatiOns were now renewed.
The boilers passed resolutions denounclDg the
wholesale venality and corruption that have
so long disgraced the State, and then nomi-

TomlinsOn who had been branded by the
rival Convention as a bribe-taker and
swindler. For State Treasurer they nominated
the rejected Secretary of State Cardoza. Mr..
Cardoza, in vindicating himself, told pretty
story about his official associates. He charged
State Senator Leslie with forging paper to
the amount of 100000 while Land Com
missioner He charged State Treasurer Par
ker with offering him bribe to afiix the
seal of South Carolina to illegal bonds
and he accused the Advisory Board Of manip-
ulatng vast amounts out of the Treasury and
into their own pockets. Having thus exposed
each others baseness, and left most OF the
rival candidates without a rag of reputation 10
cover their nakedness, the two Conventions
broke up with cheers for Grant and wilson
There is only one hope for this robbed anu
outraged State. The Liberal and DemocraVic

ONE TERM.

Since even some Americans will persistently
misunderstood, or with equal persistence mis-
represent the One-Term Principle, we must
not be surprised to find the British newspa-
pers making a muddle OF the matter 1He
Saturday Reriew for instance, which cannot
see why anything more should be expected
from Greeley than Grant, because Grant
/" when reelected would be in precisely the
"position where, under freedom from temp
tation to aspire for another term OF ONCE,
"be would labor more for the country and
"less for himselfr Let us see about tins
1. What certainty is there that the Presl-
dent "would not aspire for another term Oh
"ofice ~ Other Presidents have not done so,
but then the Doctor is not exactly like other
Presidents, and being probably the most oo-
stinate man in the Union, if not IN the known
world, how are we to know, If there was
money to be made out OF 1t, tnat nc "oui"
not run for third termf q,
2. But admitting that Grant would zee,
Obliged to retire at the end of his second
term, is there not all the more reason 10 sup
nose that he would improve his opportunities
and make his hay, so to speak, while the sun
was sbiningP He has squeezed the Executive
orange tolerably hard, but if there is no juice
loft wbv ia he so unwilling to loosen his hOld
of itP Moreover if we take him for another
four wears, we take his whole family for the same
neriod. and we keep in place the whole nst Oh
household pensioners, from the paternal POST
master at Covington, KY, down to the last OF
the third OF fourth cousins, wherever they may
he growing fat on Treasury pap. There are
special reasons why DR.. Grant should be con-
tent with One Term, and there are, we admit
special reasons why he should MT be. The main
idea in his mind is that he has got into good
thing, and must by hook or by crook, keep
himself in. There will be nothing in his re-
election which will change him from what be
is into political saint. On the contrary, we
have every reason to suppose that he Will be
more of an Executive Ethiopian or leopard than
ever. with q duskier skin or with greater
variety of spots. There is only one word to
conveniently express what we shall have, and
that word is "Grantism." It's barbarOus
word, but then it represents barbarOus thing
Does the country want four years more Of 1t !
3. What we need are not Presidents who
will be biased by hope of reelection during
the first term, thus securing another during
which they will be perfectly regardless OF
public opinion. Nor do we want Presidents
who grown strong by eight years of power,
will be able to designate their, successors.
Human nature is infrm at the best, but that
President will most probably be patriotic and
singe-minded who, having reached the highest
of political places, will deem nothing so valu-
able as good historical reputation; and the
sooner man who holds the place without
any sense of its honor and dignity is out of
it, the better for this sorely-tried Republic
New-York tribune., 1872-08-27

.ho ;,setut;on ia not merely Negligent
,,,,t sor,ot;nes oruel. DR.. Brown, the physi-
o;o, IN cbarce of Bloomingdale, is reported aS
Sou;ng in effect that an attempt to commit
sane person would be fruitieSSi iVi' -
event of two physicians ana poiico Jug
beine deceived into making the conini'in.n', -,
the regular physicians at the Asylum, iaiiiiiiar
with the disease, or the visiting Governors
on their weekly rounds, would detect tho
;mnosition. In saying this DR.. Brown
undoubtedly supposed a perfection OF manage
ment which does not exist at BloOmingdale.
If a proper directory did exist there, then we
think his words might be proved true. But
we have clear grounds for saying, and we dis
tinctly charge on our own responsibility, that
commitments of sane persons are made by
physicians whose examinations are unskillful
and insufficient; that police justices do confine
persons in lunatic asylums without ever SO
much as looking at person, physicians
or papers that at Bloomingdale DR.. Brown
himself RENTS his duties to young physicians
incapable of scientifically treating insanity or
detecting feigned lunacy; that the Board OF
Governors either make no weekly investiga-
tions, or that their inquiries are not searching
or adequate; and that the trustees of the In
stitution do not extend their inquiries into
the character of those committing persons as
lunatics further than to establish their reSpon-
sibility for the payment of the patients
board.
In other words, we charge that the law as
it exists on the statute books is fnghtful
absurdity that its administration is hldeous
farce, and that the management of the best
lunatic asylum in the country-such as Bloom
ingdale claims TO be-is crimlnally careless.
More we are indisposed to charge now; but
this much, and possibly a great deal more IN
detail, we are prepared to maintain at any
time, before any Court or Commission OF In
quiry, or that greater tribunal, the People
