The Demand of the south on the Cincin-
natl Convention.
From the Richmond Enquirer (democratic, April

Then we are to suppose that, adopting the only
reasonable and sensible course open to them,
these gentlemen propose to lay the foundation of
new party at Cincnnati-a liberal party whose
platform shall he broad enough to suit all the
tration aud upon which all can squarely stand, no
matter what their previous political relations may
have been. We are to suppose, also, that having
formed this party, they will announce its candi-
dates and the leading principles which shall dis
tnguish its supporters from their opponents We
take II for granted that this will be the action Of
the Cincinnati Convention. Will the Gin
cinnati Convention have the wisdom to secure the
Southern vote by running Southern man on the
ticket, or, by making unpopular nominations, will
10 turn the tide OF battle and give us over TO
Grantism through the supneness and indifference
OF the peoples The South holds the balance Of
power She can and will elect the next President ;
and the only question ID whether she will elect him
by voting or by refusing to vote.

THE PUBLIC PRESS ON THE
CONVENTION.
Shall Grant BE FOrsnkcn for Another
Who Has Not Been Trieds

From the Philadelphia Press Grant, April q.
Harmony does not seem to have ruled In the
counsels OF the gentlemen who met at the Girard
House on Saturday to discover who were willing to
20 to the cincinnati Convention. Colonel Mcclure
was careful to say that the 1st OF May Convention
was to be republican, and that no democrat could
be placed in nomination for President or Vice Presi-
dent. He denied that they were engaged in re-
beon against the republican party. Those who
charged this upon them could do better by saying
that they meant revolution. There Will be many
incOngruous elements, which can only be recon-
ciled by an endorsement OF the broad and catholic
platform OF the republican party That being so,
why not take Grant, who has been true, instead Of
another who has not been tried

We have faith that such men In Massachusetts, as
have commended the Cincinnati Convention are
Influenced by motives OF the highest and purest
character, and those in other States who have pre-
cedcd them In like expression, so far as know,
are worthy OF equal respect. II the proceedings at
Cincinnati shall be what the country has q right to
pressed their intention to participate in them, and
candidates are chosen whose principles are in
accordance Herewith, and whose characters shall

REPUBLICAN RALLY.
A Prominent Democrat Prefers
Grant to Greeley.

New HAVEN, Ct, July 18.-One of tho larg-
est political meetings ever held in the State was
held this evening III this city. Some 10, 900 per-
sons assembled on the green to ratify the NOM
ination of Grant and Wilson. There was mu-
sic, fireworks and a salute. The meeting was
presided over by Gov. jewell and addresses
were made by Senator Buckingham, Hon.
ThOs I'll. Bond, Hon. HI. L. Dawes of Massa-
chusetts, and Messrs Kellogg, Strong and
Starkweather of Connecticut. The utmost en-
thusiasm prevailed. Mr.. Bonds speech attract
ed much enthusiasm inasmuch as he has acted
with the Democratic party for years, and has
been member of the State Senate and a cam
didate of the Democracy for Lieut.. Governor
He took the ground that the Democracy has
sold out and that between Grant and Greeley
he must choose Grant as being much the safer
man. Hon. Charles Atwater, late candidate
of the Democrats for Lieut.. Governor. was one
of the Vice Presidents of the meeting, he TAX
ing the same ground as Mr--Bond. The action
of such men as Messrs. Bond and Atwater GRE
ates much CONSERVATION among the Democrats
here.
An organized gang of burglars have been OPP
Grating in this city for week or two. Five

Portland Light Guard Association.

Agreeable to the call, quite a number of the
members of the Portland Light Guard, and in
fantry company that existed in this city just
before the war land which entered the First
Maine Regiment) met last evening at the Army
and Navy Union Hall, to reorganize as a civil
association, having for its object the perpetual
ton of the memories of old times and personal
friendships. Col. Rishworth Rich was called to
the chair as temporary presiding officer, and
w. Fl. Sargent appointed Secretary. 1t was
voted to re-organize for the purpose above indi-
Gated, and the following officers were chosen
for the year:-Col. Rishworth Rich, President
Lieut.. T. j. Riggs, LIST Vice-President; J. L.
Sawyer, I'd do; Rensselaer, Greeley, Secretary
and Treasurer. Messrs. J. S. York, Jos. A.
Perry, VIM. p. Jordan, J. L. Sawyer and Rish-
worth Rich were appointed a committee to hunt
up and collect together the colors and other
property of the organization. Messrs. j. A.
Perry, j. L. Sawyer and F. J. Riggs were ap-
pointed a committee to prepare and present at
an adjourned meeting plan for the Celebration
of the anniversary of the Light Guards; and the
meeting adjourned for two weeks.
There are nearly forty members of the COM
pany now resident in and about Portland, and
it is hoped that every one will interest himself
in this reorganization; and if anyone has any
of the company property or knows where any
of it is, he will confer favor by giving infor-
nation to the committee

MIDDLE STREEr.-The Street Com missioner
has begun to remove the cobble-stones from
Middle street, between Union and Exchange,
preparatory to re-paving it with the same ma
terial, according to the order passed by the City
Council Animpression has prevailed that the
street was to be relaid with wood, but this is an
error. The order to repave with eobble-stones
passed both branches several weeks ago. At
the last meeting an order TO lay down wood at
given price per yard, the AUDITORS to pay
certain part Of the cost, passed the Aldermen
but was indefinitely postponed by the Council.
Some of the members, we understand, now re-
grct their action, alleging that they voted under
misunderstanding; hence the original order is
In force. There is a very strong desire that
wood shall be used. The good results of the
experiments in front Of the City Hall have
converted many Of the original opponents of
wooden payements TO a belief in their dura-
bility and economy. The sleepers of the horse
railroad, which were laid down eight years ago
were found yesterday to be perfectly sound and
bright These were treated by the Burnett pro-
cess before they were put down, as the proposed
wood pavement would be. So far as we have
heard an expression of opinion the citizens are
favorable to the wood pavement on the terms
proposed in the second order

Bos TON AND MAINE RAILRoAD.-The work
on the extension of this road into Portland is
being pushed as rapidly as the nature of the
circumstances will allow, and we can assert
with some confidence that by the LIST of No
vember trains will come within the city limits
on the new line The rails are being laid from
Salmon Falls east. Part of the iron bridge
across the Saco arrived here from New York
by steamer Franconia on Tuesday. The piling
for the bridge across Fore river is nearly COM
pleted and ready for the superstructure. On
this side of the river about one-third of the
earth has been removed, but the great obstacle
to rapid progress is the exceedingly hard ledge
which has been uncovered, extending from
Emery nearly to High street. A number of
buildings that stood on the line, west of State
street, have been removed, and the work of de-
molishing is going on between High and State
streets. The fine large brick residence on York
street, lately owned and occupied by Gardner
Jordan, is being razed, and the wooden struc-
lures in the vicinity are likely to meet the same
fate ere long. Some further changes in the
location of the streets will be necessary soon,
and within the next thirty days the territory
lying north of Commercial stseet and west of
maple will have novel and unfamiliar appear
ance.
