TI0SAL REFORM TICKET.
lBY TxLBGRAPB TO TIE TRIBUsEI
ROCHESTER, May 16.-During the night many OF
the delegates. satisfied that the Convention had sub
stantialy concluded its Isbors left town. and tho
assemblage opened this morning with considerable
less than yesterdays attendance. Satisfied with tho
virtual Endorsement of the Cincinnati movement
contained in the language of the resolutions nnsni-
mousy adopted yesterday, the advance Dem0Iyts
were content to let the question rest and trust -
tho New-York delegates the matter OF presenting
the Cincinnati candidates to the Baltimore Conyen-
ton for support.
1t il claimed that the delegates chosen frons each
Judicial District and confirmed the national dele
CATION in the brief session this morning ara all
earnest for reform, and in favor OF accepting the
results gained at Cincinnati as the proper pledge of
reconstructed government.
The universal sentiment. after the final adjourn
ment was that the Convention had gone a. Ear ~
the safety of the party and the interests Of reform
would justify. The leaders claim that tho unre-
served Endorsement Of the Cincinnati platform is
pledge Of the unequivocal committa q the State
Democracy to the Cincinnati candidates when tho
proper tine shall have come An outright support
OF Greeley and Brown, some claim, would have
created rupture in the party as the Democracy ara
not yet unit in reference TO coalition with the
Liberal Republicans. Then, too. there were some
who demanded passive attitude until after the
Philadelphia Convention, as the action Of that body
might give entirely new character to the political
situation.
This last consideration, curiously enough, gained
force every hour Of the session, and beyond doubt
gave great influence to the timid element of tho
Convention. Republicans in the enjoyment of
Administration favor were at hand. and it is said
moro than insinuated that Gen. Grant approaching
the widespread dissatisfaction against continu-
ance of his Administration, in the hands Ut
his friends" to do with they deemed best for tho
interests Of the Republican party. This and coela
tive arguments made openly and beyond
doubt did much to neutralize the ardor Of tho
Reform Democracy. There is general satisfaction
with the delegation selected for Baltimore. end
although not instructed, it is no secret that tho
great majority fayors coalition with The Liberals.

The work of aseertaining the popular senti

chit than it seems. Tie present Is such transition
period in the politics of the country mat many men OK

coming campaign. This is especially significant IN view
of the fact that hardly month few could De- FOUND

1t is evident now by tho tone OF the party
leaders that they have lost CONFIDENCE IN thoir

horses. Some clubs are joint stock Companies
which send out their agent with their hl,,ed
players, who arranges the matches, takes care
of the funds, and brings home the dividends
to the shareholders. And this is what Z" the
national game" has come to at last 1t
has lost the high ompriso and open-air
vigor which il once had, and has de-
generated into q mild form of speculation or
hazard. 1t is a good thing for the boys
that the emulation of the professional clubs
has fred them with noble ardOr to excel.
1t is well to encourage this form of outdoor
sport; but when groups Of nine hire out for
season to defeat other groups of nine in the
baseball field. and win money to divide among
their employers, the thing has lost its favor
of tho soil, and we have no national game.

Senator COnkling has new grievance.
Perceiving that his speeches are Of immense
account-to himself-he is consumed with
anger that they are wasted upon the Senate.
He complains that some other mems speeches
are sent out "by the column" while his are
shorn of half their fair proportions. This may
he unfair to Mr.. COnkling but should not
some slight barrier stand between suffering

1t is illustrative of the state of public feeling in
England, that it is considered there matter of
course that distinguished man, no matter what he
may be distinguished for, should get into Parlia-
ment Thus it is not at all strange that Mr. Spur
geons friends and admirers should urge him to offer
himself as q candidate for Lambeth ct the next
Parliamentary election. Whether he would succeed
as a member is another matter. People very great
outside the House have proved very small when
once inside Besides, Parliament wants short
speeches and not long sermons; and Mr.. spurgeon
would be apt to forget that he was not talking to
his own sheep in his own sheep-fold.

We know little or nothing of tornadoes here ont
in Kansas they have them OF the noblest kind That
which occurred on the Cd inst. at Wathena is
described as very active and aggravating. First, it
demolished the residence Of Dir. Dom then, in a
fit of enormous payfulness it made for the res
idence Of Mr. McCielland, which it turned COM
petely round, without inticting other damage
them directing its attention to the farm of Mr. Hol-
land it scattered fences it broke into pieces wagons,
it Frustrated stables and it concluded by taking the
roof neatly FROM the dwollng-bouse. If it were not
for the damage and the danger, one might like to
have his pulses stirred from the dull monotony of
hfe by the visitation Of fresh, young tornado like
that.

Our wandering countrymon have discovered much
to complain Of since the partial despoilment OF
Paris by the Communists and the removal of its
fallacious glitter by the subversion of the Empire
But no one material thing has given them moro dis
satisfaction than the closing, without prospect of
reopening of the world renowned Trois Freres.
What " we fancy some of our stay-at-hOme readers
exclaimng the delightful restaurant in the Palais
Royal the genuine glorious old Trois Freres Pro-
vencaux where breakfast was pure joy, luncheon
q sovereign cause for felicitation, and dinner
sensuous and aesthetic blessingp Yes, even so. The
great center Of epicuIean eating, where all peoples
have met for generations and been made over the
daniest ard most delicate of food the richest and
rarest of wines, the most polite and complete Of
service, has actually shut lis DOORS and its propre-
tors presumed to have fabulous wealth, have really
gone into bankruptcy. What luxurious Lutetia
will do without its admirable d5euners its incom-
parable petit soppers, its loungings and chats and
persifage its winning and dining and tOasting it is
hard to tell. How the citizens of the Great Repub-
lie who have never deemed their social accOlade re-
ceived until they had made at least dozen visits TO
tho Trois FTeres will henceforth support physical
existence on the borders Of the Seine is beyond the
power of conjecture. Without exaggeratiOn. there
is a certain sadness in the extinction OF restau-
rant that had become not only interna-
tional in reputation, but in some sense
historic--classcally cotemporaneous withal. Every
European diplomat, statesman, general, actress,
artist, author, and man of fashion, of promi-
nence, for tho last seventy years, has sat at the
tables of the Trois Freres The Mettemichs,
Kossuths, Welngtons, Napoleons, DOrsays, Mac
Mahons Dumas, Hugos, De Mussets Raches. De-
jazets Ristoris, Bismarcks, Won Beusts, aud An

prestige reproduced. 1t has followed tho famous
Cafe dc Paris, Y@fOur'5, and other Apician resorts
but none were what it was. 1t stood unriyaled and
alone, the easy prince of the palaces where the
palate is crowned with the royal cheer. 1t is diff
cult to dssocate the pleasures and consultations Of
the gay capital from the Trois Freres. Without that
Paris seems like the fair city deprived of Notre
Dame the Madeleine. the Champs Elys6es tho
Boulevards, or the thousand charms and comforts

There is nothing like details in newspaper
report. Dubourg, it will be remembered lately,
in Paris, stabbed his wife for infdeity. After
his arrest, for some unknown reason, the Gov
eminent tried to keep the affair out of the news
papers, and these as matter of course, became pro
portionately eager to tell all that they knew, and
perhaps little more. Thus the Figaro stated that,
after his arrest, Dubourg obtained permission
to 90 and dine with agent of police at the Tour
dArgent. Who could doubt this when Figaro
actually gave the bill of fale 3" Soup, fish, two
entrees asparagus, cheese, iqueurs two hottles OF

Let us take heart of grace; there is some
immediate prospect that the foul streets of
New-York will be cleansed before cOntagiOn
hoists its yellow flag on the waterfront. The
provisions of the act granting additional pow
ers to the Board of Police are sweeping
enough. apparently, to warrant thorough
publication of the city. Contractor Brown has
told pitiful story of his wrongs; but he will
now be obliged to withdraw from his contract,
or do the work ordered of him. We have had
enough of evasion and delay; if Brown does
not clean the streets, the Police Board may,
can, aud will.

As generally expected, the publication of
the report of the New-Orleans Investigating
Committee is indefinitely postponed. BY dint
of various shutting expedients, the Committee,
originally averse to doing anything which
might injure the Administration, have put off
the printing of the report, and, after all other
articles failed, have suddenly discovered that
the introduction of new evidence will still
longer delay the completion Of their work.

The stock market was actively weak rom tile be-

bulls,, accustomed by fear that their leaders were
selling out their holdings preparatory to suspen

took the easier alternative OF selling out their stock
again and letting the price drift to where 1t will be
10 more eligible basis for beginning the speculation
anew. As a consequence Of this pressure to sell
the whole market broke down, but to quite rregu-
lar extent. The greatest decline was in Pacific
Mail, which went CT i've per cent.-viz., from 73k
to 83x. The Vanderbilt securities were better sup
ported and were not so conspcuously involved In
the downward tide, but were lower to the extent
of 4 q y per cent. The decline was helped by al
Washington telegram, asserting that Mr.. Boutwell,
will make effort TO fund any more Of the national
