The Press on tn Cincinnati Conven-
tiOn.

- 10 Soo ~ -
tion.
New YORK, May 1.-The World this
morning under the caption, "a last
word TO the Cincinnati Convention, "
says: ave protest against the intrusive
impertinence Of a clique Of Democratic
Copgresamen in an attempt to control
the Cincinnati Convention in the in
terest of Judge Davis and their denun-
citation of the World for expressing their
honest judgment in entire independ-
ence OF this interesting caucus. 1t has
been our settled wish that the Cincinnati
Convention should not act or appear to
act under any eort ofDemocratic duress.
/, again points to Adams as the can
didste best qualified for successfully
contesting the reelection of Grant,
claiming that he Is the most prominent
contrast to Grant that has yet been
mentioned.
The Times editorially has little to say
on the subject OF the Convention this
morning. 1t thinks the movement,
which was to be a consultation of the
Republicans to insure reform OF the
Republican patty, has degenerated into
squabble of political hucksters over
a nomination. 1t thinks there are only
one class of men in the Convention de-
serving respect; those are the Republi-
cans, such as Wells, Atkinson and
Horace White.
The Herald thinks that if the Presi-
dent has observed the Cincinnati move.
ment he must see the time has come
fora flank march. 1t says: However
much we may despise and condemn the
movement, public opinion cannot be
disregarded."

Our west the customary fine for
kissing a pretty girl against her will
ranges from five dollars upwards. 1t
has always been stage etiquette, how
ever, there as elsewhere, to submit
gracefully to this infiction when the
play required it MdIle. Gindele, Of
the Imperial Opera House, Vienna, is,
nevertheless, OF different opinion.
When Herr Neumann, according to
the stage directions, ventured to take
that liberty, Mdlle. Gindele declared
herself insulted, and threatened if she
could not obtain reparahon from the
management, to seek it from the law.
The matter was smoothed over, the
irate lady paci6ed, and the opera was
again put on the stage. When they
came to the obnoxious scene, after Herr
Neumann had. as usual, kissed her
hand, and to follow the play, should
have then kissed her lips also, Mdlle.
Gindele quickly stopped him with: {:
There, 1 will not trouble you for the
kiss on the lips" Herr Neumann
hereupon quickly replied: Thank
heaven have not to kiss that fright"
Mdlle. Gindele became go excited that
she had to be carried in a tainted state
to her room. She had again COM
plaiued to the management. State
iurists are deeply interested in the mat
ter, for they want to know whether q
kiss given in character to lady on the
stage can be regarded as an insult TO
the recipient.

patients within the institution is 2I0,

There was rumor in circulation to-
day that advices from Washington say
that Grant declines the Philadelphia
nomination, giving as reason his fail;
ure to agree with the party on civil
service. Another rumor is that in case
Davis is not nominated here, the De.
mocracy will call Convention and
nominate Davis and Walker.
Cassius NJ. Clay will probably be
permanent President of the Liberal
Convention, and Judge Rufus ?. Ran
nev of the Union Reform Convention.
Susan B. Anthony and Mrs. Gordon,
of California, opened an informal meet
ing in the parlor of the Burnet House,
and attracted such large crowd that
the proprietor, in order TO protect his
furniture, called upon the police to
disperse the crowd. The action Of the
proprietor is the subject Of much un-
complimentary remark.
1t is reported that the platform is
being made ont tonight, and that the
working of the tariff plank has been
left with Alex. Mcclure, Of Pennsylva-
MIA, and that the second choice Of
Pennsylvania is Davis, with Greeley for
Vice President.
1t is said that Schurz will be strongly
pressed to accept the permanent chair

thought he will not accept it, however.
Cassius NJ. Clay, Ex-Governor Sanford
and Ex-Governor Cox are prominently
mentioned
Ex-Governor Fenton has left the city.
1t is stated that he withdrew from the

supporters in several Of the We:tern
dele cations.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The President

authorizing the construction of bridge
across the Missouri river at or near St.

The National Republican, the admins
tration organ, in its issue this morning
says that the President has construed
the action OF the House in regard 10 the
Howard CAGE as requiring him to exer-
else his authority in demanding the
unconditional release of DR.. Howard
and the restoration OF his confis-
Gated property. The President has
become satisfied that DR.. Howard is an
American citizen aud that the cont.
nent Of the Spanish Government has
been such as to inspire dissatisfaction
on our part. Minister Sickles has been
instructed, on his arrival at Madrid, to
demand his passports and 10 notify the
Spanish aoverameut that unlil il is

messed a gradual abatement OF the
violence of the discharges from Mount

visibly subsiding. The sand and cind-
ers have ceased to fall in this city, and
the disturbance is terminating. The
smoke which yesterday enveloped the
mountain almost from top to base has
greatly cleared off and the serious and
desolating effects OF the eruption are be-.
coming more apparent. The explosions
have ceased, although at a certain dis
tance a rambling noise is heard. In

mortality occasioned by the eruption
will be commenced as coon as the
disturbances have been stopped so as
to permit the work TO proceed quietly.

Another Convention and q
New Demand.

In accordance with the published
call, the French speaking delegates to
the Liberal Convention, from all the
States, held a meeting this morning at
College Hall. After organization had
been effected, the following resolutions
were presented and adopted:
WHEREAS, The French speaking
population Of the United States are
convinced that the time has come when
all liberal progressive citizeus should
unite without regard to past political
opinions; and whereas, they, rs
American citizens, always felt some
delicasy in participating in the great
political movement Of the country, but
that they are now convinced that the
spirit as now practiced by the existing
political organizations requires all good
citizens to organize themselves in order
to enable them to aid in establishing q
fraternal feeling, which is absolutely
necessary for the common welfare OF
all paris of the country; therefore
be it
Resoloed, That is the sense Of all the
French speaking delegates assembled
at the Cincinnati Convention that they
shall give expression to the practicable
principles which will enhance the in
of American citizens either native or
foreign born, who have their countrys
good at heart, and to have said princi-
Piles incorporated in the platform TO be
adopted by the Cincinnati Convention.
Resolrcd, That deeming it necessary
for the good Of the country to erase all
political hatred between its different
sections, We will support the nomna-
ton of a candidate to the Presidency
of the United States OF America a
Northern man not only known by his
works and writings, but also by his
deeds, as a good statesman and a
staunch Union man, in favor of general
amnesty, the full equality OF all cltl-
zens, and opposed to the military en-
croachments manifested by the present
administration. For the Vice Presi-
dency a Southern man having equal
qualifications; thus preserving the laws
and the rights of each and every State
OF the Union established by the com
bined efforts OF Washington and Lafay-
etc.
Resolucd, That in order to carry the
above resolutions into effect the COM
mittees shall form in all the respective
States in the Union TO organize the
100000 vo.ers OF the French speaking
population.
