don single principle of the original plat
form, although they may not have carried out
the Civil Rights bill in the way some of us
desire. have always believed that the po-
litical salvation of the negro and of the hard
working whites Of the South rests with the
Republican party. 1 believe also that this
convention will adopt platform broad
enough for every loyal man to stand upon
that it will, before adjourning, incorporate
into the platform every vital principle con-
tanned in Mr.. Summers Civil Rights bill.
Then, when we 60 into the campaign, we can
unfold our banners to the bright sun and
pleasant breeze, with the name Of Grant in
letters of living light upon it. We will make
clean sweep, and Mr.. Greeley and Liberal
Republicanism will be known no more in this
country. [Applause.] Twill say, in conclu-
sion, that our Northern friends need not give
themselves any fear that we are charmed
with the name of Mr.. Greeley, or that we
have one eye toward Cincinnati. Although
ignorant, although we have not had the ad-
vantages of education, yet we know by in
stinct which side is to our advantage. APP
plause.] And although we may not fully
comprehend the great political question, let
me tell you one thing: The name OF no one
man or set of men in this land will ever blind
us SO much as to make us forget the party
that gave us liberty. Applause.

The Mortality Of Three Great
Cities.

We have before us the bills of mortality of
Paris. London, and New York for single
week in Nav. The returns from Paris and
New York are for the week ending May % !;
those from London are for the week ending
Nav Is. They may be briefly summarized as
follows: With population of 3, 25l 800, the
British metropolitan district counts for 1858
deaths with population of ,9S0, 900, Paris
shows the record of Sl2, and with pOpula-
ton of 90 300, New York has GAG deaths.
A slight examination will show that these
figures give New York very alarming pre-
eminence over the two European capitals
with which it is compared. During the week
ending May IL, SO people died In London out
of every 100000 of the population. During
the week ending May %, az people died in
Paris out of every 100, 900, and during the
same week the rate in New York was is out
of every 100000. 1t must be noted that the
week in question was an exceptionally fatal
one in New York. the recorded deaths being
l47 in excess of the corresponding week of
1871, Smallpox accounts for 54-precisely
the same number as occurred in London dur
ing the previous week, and the largest weekly
mortality from this disease ever recorded in
New York, Unless an auxiliary cause of
this mortality be found in the rapid variations
of temperature during the week-from a
maximum of 79o to minimum of SIT
would be difficult to assign any reasons for
so extraordinary a rate, save those derived
! from our filthy streets and neglected sewers.
| That the week which we have selected for
examination is not an unfair sample OF what
the gross neglect of sanitary laws has brought
upon us, becomes tolerably apparent when
we take moro extended area OF comparison.
This is furnished by the last quarterly return

BILE to attempt to show that neither Grant
nor his policy deserved any credit for the
frightening financial outlook. But Grant and
has policy deserre The rery highest credit. Sup
pose his policy had been of different kind
from what it has been. Suppose he had col
iected the revenues in the negligent manner
OF which We had so much previous expe-
rlence-suppose the debt had been increased
as 1t was in the latter part of Jobnson's adj
mlnistratlon- suppose the wasteful expendi-
lures oil Johnson's time had been continued
suppose we were experimenting with the
greenback theory and the reputation fraud
does anybody suppose that our bonds would
now be at or near par, or that gold would be
quoted at the present price, or that our credit
would stand where it does abroad? To ask
the question is to answer it, and to show the
absurdity of the reasoning of the Democratic
organ.
It is not by the display of any immsnse
genius, or of any gigantic or mysterious
plan" that these great results have been
wrought. 1t is by the carrying out of few
simple principles, the principles of honesty
and economy, which President Grant an
nounced one year ago. There can be no
more beneficent natural genius than is found
In the power to perceive and enforce those
principles. And having aided in the election
Of Grant, it gives us pride and JOY to be able,
at the close of the first year of his admins
tration, to point the country to the results
that have already been achieved-to speak of
the growth of the national welfare, as shown
In the financial improvement no less than in
the cOnsummation of the peaceful policy of
reconstruction.

respect for those who deemed it to be their
duty to give their support to others. 1 hope
we shall all strive to win to our support
every honest and patriotic man in the coun-

republic become a great Christian nation, an
example to the world.
Let it be understood that our ranks are
wide open to receive all devoted to the coun-
try and who would advance the happiness and
general well-being of all sections of the land
and all conditions of the people. We Repub-
licans should offer the hand of reconciliation
to all fair-minded and honorable men and use
all legitimate means to achieve success for
the honor and salvation of the country, as
well as for that of the party which saved the
Union and established freedom in every part
of the land.

OUR HoNORED DEAD.
BY LOUIS A. BELL.

our H0NORED DEAD.
BY LOUIS A. BELL.
True life springs forth with manly ardor keen,
With answer prompt to duty's sudden call,
Serene and frm-resolved with lucent sheen,
To win the mastery, or fighting fall.
Such types were they whose graves to-day we
strew
With vsrnal springs fair off'rings, fresh
and sweet,
Which, though they die, shall wake again
and blow
Of these fond, faithful slain the emblems
meet.
Led by the patriots care, its own reward,
The path of peril to pursue they trod
Alone the wine-press. Fearless grasped the
sword,
Nor asked protection save of valor's God.
But in perplexity, when passion ragged,
When hate and sordid lust breathed fires
from hell,
When treason fierce and bitter conflict waged,
And stern hearts quivered in its torturing
spell
These welcomed glad the suspicious natal
day;
These saw the crown await them from afar
These proudly came and armed them for the
fray;
These willing, untried hands drew vict'ry's
car.
Naught to them all fleeing base allurements,
Visions of joy subdued the throes of pain
Bright dreams, whose full and sure procure
Attest the truth that man ne'er dies in
vain.
With rev'rent step we tread this sacred earth,
Where heroes in unbroken, quiet sleep.
We cannot estimate Alright their worth,
Though here we contemplate and sadly
weep.
For who can number deathless deeds of
fame?
Who tell the price of freedom S regal boon
Who sing the lavish love whose modest aim,
Though brought pampered
death too soon?
Dost ask what stately monument we rear
To tell the future their most hallowed
names?
What chisled pile with beauty crowned Sc
What chosen shrines burn holy incense
flames?
They need no pillared dome-to fame allied
Their names are craven deep in fleshly
lines;
Where'er they, as they fought, sleep side by
A nation saved kneels at devotion's
shrines.
What loftier memorials can we raise
Than natures vast, sublimest forms?
What records better speak their praise
Than those uninfluenced by the wrath of
stOrmSC
When golden sunlight gilds the eastern sky,
Sweet prisons 60 forth for their repose,
And anthems lofty strains, which only die
When vesper bells announce the days
calm close.
o fiOw'rs! on wings of choicest perfume
The grateful incense which We fondly
bring
The nations dead, its treasures and its care,
More highly priced than jewels of a king.
Tell them, how in our heart of hearts we
keep;
The mem'ry of their brilliant, daring
deeds;
That youth, and age, and beauty come to
Recounting all their virtues and their
needs.
q tell them that we sanctify the cause
For which they faithful fought and grandly
fell;
That now the "altered customs, purer laws"
The full fruitiOn of their struggles tell.
Bid them be near in trials gloomy haze,
When souls are faint and vile temptation
strong.
Bid them protect us from corruption's blaze,
From vain ambition, selfishness, and
wrong.
So shall we keap the dear bought prize they
won,
So shall Columbia's standard be upreared
And every hope fulfilled, each duty done,
No craven, plotting, parricide be feared.
