THE FORTHCOMING NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
CoNvENTIoS.-Mr. c. e. Fulton. the editor
of the Baltimore American, who is a member
of the National Republican Convention, and
who enjoys the full confidence of General
Grant, has in a late paper an article
urging those holding Offices to refrain from
attending the Philadelphia Convention as
delegates. He concludes by saying: " OF
one thing we are certain. Office holders will
please the President more by staying away
tn an by attending, and the nomination will
be more popular if not single ballot is cast
by an office holder

The Supplemental Treaty.

1t appears probable that after all the
Treaty of Washington will be saved.
In the British House of Lords, Thurs,
day evening, June 9th, Earl Granville
said he had received letter from Mr.
Schenck, American Minister, affirming
that the supplemental article is amply
sufficient to exclude indirect claims
and authorizing the statement to be
made, as coming from Washington.
that that article is a final settlement O
the question of said claims The an
nouncement was received with cheers
Earl Derby said this put new face or
the matter, and he thought debate
ought to stop. Earl Russell then with
drew his motion for an address to the
Queen, and the debate closed.
A dispatch from Washington says
official information has just been receiv-
ed from London giving the assurance
that the English government accepts
the supplemental article to the Treaty
of Washington, as amended by the
Senate, and the Geneva arbitration
will now proceed to consider the cases
presented by the two governments.

The Tariff.

The Tax and Tariff Bill, which has
been carefully and cautiously matured in
the present session of Congress, has be.
come law. As it now stands, it frees
from duties materials for ship-building,
hides, chemicals, dyes. drugs, and many
articles required in manufacturing it re-
duces the duties forty per cent, on coal,
fifty per cent. on salt, twenty-five per
cent on lead, iron, copper and other met
ais, ten per cent. on wool, and their manu-
features; it repeats between seven and
eight millions of stamp taxes f; 1t aboishes
tobacco warehouses it repeats the allow
ance of moieties to informers it revises
and simplfies internal revenue taxes; it
reduces by about 275 the number of As
SCISSORS and Collectors. II is estimated
that the reduction of Taxation effected
by this measure will amount to fifty
three or 6fty-four millions.

The National Ticket.

As we anticipated, Gen. U. s. Grant has
been renominated for President of the
United States; and more than we antici-
pated, he was nominated by reclamation,
J without one dissenting voice.
49,. The abrasions and corruscationS by
Sumner and his coadjutors have all
steadily and surely tended to brighten the
prospects Of the President for another
term. His administration at tie present
hour shines with tenfold brighter lustre
in the judgment of the American people
than it has ever done before. The accu-
sations that have been brought against
him have only served to suppress, for the
moment, the respect and veneration in
which he is held by the millions, until
the charges and impeachments against
him by his enemies, have been scattered
like the mountains Of abatis before his
victorious army in other and more fearful
times Of opposition. ~.
There is an element in the composition
of true republican sentiment that gives it
q capacity for polish under the friction Of
>. opposition for none but pure metal is
? capable of receiving permanent polish.
Gen. Grant has passed through the or
: deal and stands to-day, higher and bright.
=. er in the estimation of the American peo
pie than ever before, and will continue to
shine when all the opposition IS deeply
buried beneath their own rust and corro-
sion.
Hon. Henry Wilson, Of Massachusetts,,
was nominated for Vice President, on the
second ballot He is we'll known to the
country as being the colleague Of Mr..
Sumner as u. S. Senator from Massachu-
sets. The only preference that could ex-
list as to Wilson or Colfax, is, that Wilson
is the choice, under the circumstances, of
the National Republican Convention. Mr..
Colfax had at various times expressed an
indifference as to his denomination, and
W NaheSNsw England delegates were pressing
the claims of Mr. Wilson with zeal in the
Convention even the western delegation
were at loss to decide whether it was the
49, wish of Mr.. Colfax or not to be renomina-
ed, and the Wisconsin delegation
voted 5 for Colfax and 10 for Wilson.
Wilson win certainly prove power in the
X New England States, while the west will
remain well satisfied with having fur
nished the Chief Executive for nearly
=. twelve years, and aattering prospect of
four years more.
Mr.. Colfax sent the following despatch
to John w. Foster, chairman of the Indi-
diana delegation, on being appraised by
o.. him of the nomination of Mr.. Wilson:
