rnE wRATHo OF THE HONEST MEN WHO WARE BErAY
I'D,
From the n. Y. Times. /

We may form some id.a of the effectiveness
of this INSCRIPTIONS manipulation OF the Con-
vention, from the wrath of those men who were
beti ayed. Judge Hoadley has expressed him
self ON the euhject. He says the thing was a
''fraud" He denounces it as a corrupt alliance
Of Tammany, and Frank Blair, "-Tammany,
our readers will observe, being represented by
Messrs. Fenton and Greeley and Blair by Gov.
Brown. He says the success of the ticket means
nothing else than an organized raid Of all he
corrupt men nop oui of office on 0e Treasury.
The Judge was present throughout the Conyen-
ton, and was an active member of it, though
John Cochrane's gag rule kept him from talking
much in the open body. He knows what he If
talking about. What do the men who really de-
sire reform and sought it at Cincinnati, think
of the prospect?

A joint meeting of the Commissioners of
Maryland and Virginia, in relation to the dis
puted boundary question between the two States
was held at Annapolis, yesterday, and a survey
ing party from the U. s. Coast Survey was de-
tailed to lend all necessary assistance, Frequent
meetings of these same Commissioners have
heretofore been held, but they have never been
able to agree upon anything definite, and it
would not be surprising il the present confer
ence fails to settle the old and vexed question
But there is a way in which to determine it fully
equitably, and satisfactorily y-by the cession to
Delaware of the Eastern Shores Of Maryland
and Virginia, and the formation of a single State
out of the Peninsula. whose boundaries should
be only those of nature, and whose people
would be cemented in one common bond by
mutuality of interest Enough time and money
have already been spent in the attempt to erect
imaginary State lines now let the experiment
of Peninsular Union be tried, and we shall have
no further need of Commissioners and joint
meetings.
The FreemdR's Journal the Republican organ
Of Kent county, Nd has been sunken into the
Republican Advocate, and will continue to battle
for the success of the Republican cause. 1t is
still conducted by Theopilus Burton, keen and
ready writer, whose editorial views and opinions
are lucidly and forcibly expressed. But the
paper lacks local interest 1t neglects entirely
due observance of matters transpiring at
home to give room for occurrences which inter
est its readers less In fact, most Of the coun-
ty papers in Kent neglect pay that attention to
the gathering and recording of local news which
constitutes their special province. viii the
Aduocdte permit us to suggest that it takes The
lead in this matter:

was the Vice President with Lincoln, an assas

-Four years have passed, and now what do we

question to be determined within a short time.
So far as at present appears its life has depart

chairman of its national committee, who may
now be styled its executor and his associates. are
to meet tomorrow to decide whether there is or
not enough of life in the ancient party to make
q nomination, or whether It shall be officially
declared defunct and those who support it in its
days Of power and arrogance asked to indorse
for the highest place IN the nation Horace
Greeley who for nearly forty years has been its
bitterest foe. When before was the party of
jackson, Van Buren,. Marcy, Csss, Silas Wright
and Buchanan brought to such straits 1t has
played its role. 1t has made its last bow to the
public before the footlights. II has been

Enormous crimes it committed, and now ii has
Justly paid the forfeit OF its life. Better 1t

lFrom the n. Y. Timesl
On these pretensions and promises of Mr.

nominated him for the Presidency affords very
striking commentary. The Convention was
nothing that it pretended to be- and was every
thing its managers professed to abhor 1t was
not mass convention; 1t was not held for con
sultation" at all ; there was no free speech, and
very little speech Of any kind in it it did not
even recognize the need Of revenue reform it
proposed nothing regarding the reform of the
civil service, and it made no proposition con-
ceIning the proper treatment of the kuklux
question. On all essential matters it preyarica-
ted or was silent.

THE SUSSEX COUNTY TICKET.

We point with special satisfaction to
the excellent county ticket put in nomi-
nation by the Republicans Of Sussex on
Tuesday last. 1t is made in view of the
great demand for reform in the affairs
of that county which is known to so
generally exist, and if the people want
reduction of their enormous load of
taxes and desire to stop the wastefulness,
extravaganza, favoritism and corruption
that is fast driving the county to ruin,
they will elect it. This ticket is made
up of men who are highly competent for
the duties to which they are named, and
every one of them are men of the highest
character for honesty and integrity as
well as capacity for business. They are
pledged to a reform of the abuses that
have so long disgraced and degraded the
county, and to large reduction of the
taxes of the people. If relief is really
desired, there is no other road to it but
in the election of this ticket. The one to
which it is opposed is made up for con-
tinuation of public plumber. 1t is largely
composed of men who threatened to bolt
their party if they were longer kept
from the public crib; and to induce
them to stand by the old Ring they were
allowed places on the ticket, which, if
elected to, they propose to use to feather
their own nests well, as others of the
same Ring have done before them.
We trust that the taxpayers of Sussex
will no longer submit to the rule of the
incompetents, but for their own welfare
will give the reform ticket triumphant
majority. This ensures the payment of
the county debt, an economical admins
tration and a large reduction of taxes.

BOOK NOTICES.

A PIucku Pubksher.-O of the most
examples of Chicago pluck and en-
ergy is given by Mr.. III. N. +. Lewis, proprietor
of the Western Rurdt-one of the ablest and
most widely circulated agricultural journals in
the country. MIR. Lewis lost, by the fire, one of
the most complete and valuable printing and
publishing establishments in the West, and
also his residence and household goods. Yet
he comes to the surface again with unnbated
ardOr, re-establishes himself at No. 407 West
Madison Street. where he has gathered new
material for his business, and from which point
he has already issued the first number (since
the fire) of the Western Rurdl, the same size
and in the same form as previous to the fiery
storm. Nobody would imagine, on glancing at
the Rurdt that anything uncomfortably warm
or specially disastrous had ever happened to it.
Success to Lewis and his excellent Rural
Chicago ought to feelproud of them.-Chfcogo

The WASHINGTON TREATY.

The Geneva Board of Arbitration I'M
der the Washington Treaty finished it's
labors last week and has now finally adj
journed. The money award made to in
demnify citizens of the United States
for damages resulting from England's
failure to maintain her obligations of
neutrality, amounts to the snug sum of
FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. This
award of mere money, though large one,
is the smallest part of the good results
accruing from this Treaty. When the
heat of partizan strife which now pre-
walls, and blinds the bigoted and preju-
diced to everything good which is ac-
complished by their political opponent,
shall have passed away and men come to
see things in their true light, this peace
full settlement of the difficulties between
two great nations will be regarded as
one of the grandest achievements of this
or any other administration.
If Gen. Grant had been less states
man = had he been the cold-blooded
butcher, glorying in war and bloodshed,
as his enemies charge, what a splendid
opportunity these Alabama complica-
lions would have afforded him to rush
the nation headlong into war with one
of the greatest powers of the earth /;
war which, however triumphant to us
in the end, must have impoverished us
to degree requiring many years of hard
labor from the toiling millions to recu-
perate. But Grant is statesman, as well
as soldier. In the interests of peace and
humanity he was willing to forego the
opportunity such war would have af-
forded of adding to his already brilliant
military prestige, and instead of foster
ing the bitter feeling against England,
he pursued a course conciliatory and yet
dignifed. Our claims were firmly and
courteously presented; argument and
reason were used instead of silly threats
and recriminations, and in the end re-
suited in the joint commission, composed
of the representative men of the two
nations, who, in peaceful confluence,
agreed to protocol as basis of set.

left to board of honorable men, chosen
from powers friendly to each. And thus
we have set the world an example of how
the most delicate and irritating compli
cation can be settled without resort tt
bloodshed, which must have far-reach
ing influence in the future, and do g
vast deal toward fastening on the time
when wars and rumors of war shall
cease, and when the benign doctrine, o
peace on earth good will among men
shall prevail everywhere. Truly ''peac'
hath her victories no less renowned
than war;" and this, the grandest of he
trophies, must rebound to the credit o
the administration Of which Presiden
Grant is the head.
