WCINoIENATI, May 8.-The Volksblatt
this morning has the following: "The fate
of Mr.. Adams in the Cincinnati Convention
has again shown, that in American politics
only that man has chance Of success who
will descend to trading and trafcking, to
make promises and make use of all those
other means and tricks usually resorted to
at conventions. The man who is too man
ly and has too much self-respect for this,
will be passed by. What do politicians
care for statesmanlike qualities and capae-
ity? They want a man whom they can
use as tool. Charles Francis Adams
would have been altogether too independ-
ent and unpliable for them. He would not
have asked the blacksmith how TO play the
organ, and he would not have turned to the
organist to learn how horse must be
shod. His qualifications would have ena-
bled him to stand on his own feet. Politi-
clans have no use for such a man."

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May, 8.-The NOM
ination of Greeley and Brown meets the
universal approval Of the Liberals and
Democrats here. The Irish are enthusiast
tic IN their support. The Times has placed
the ticket at the head of its columns and
supports it cordially. The journal and
the Bulletin (Radical) affect to treat the
nomination with leVity, and endeavor to
make capital against Gov. Brown on the
Cass county troubles. 1t is reported on the
streets that the Bulletin will shortly come
over to the Liberals. A ratification meet
ing was held here Saturday night.

CINCINNATI, May S.-The Commercial
his morning publishes a communication
from Peter p. Clark, a prominent colored
Republican leader here. The Commercial
says in an editorial notice that Mr.. Clark is
a close observer, a man of liberal tendencies
and has recently travelled in the South.
Clark in his communication says that if the
Greeley party are building any hopes on
5he oft repeated assertion that the colored
people of the South will vote for their can
1idate, they are surely doomed to disap-
pointmeIt; that some colOred men will be
found on their side is perhaps true. Some
colored men have been found to vote the
straight Democratic ticket, but the number
s small and not likely to increase.

WASHINGTON, May GA large majority
Of the Democrats still talk against the con-
Vention, but there is cooling down in their
modes Of expression, which the friends of
Greeley interpret as indications that the
Democratic current has begun to set to-
ward him. But it cannot be denied that
tonight the position of representative men
Of the party here is that they must make an
independent nomination. To-day a num-
Der of prominent Democratic managers had
a private conference with Justice Davis,
with the view of ascertaining whether he
would accept. While Judge Davis did not
intimate that he would refuse if there be a
concerted purpose to use his name, he said he
should have great reluctance in consenting
to the proposition after having allowed his
name to go before the Liberal Republican
Convention. In case the Democratic Con-
vention does not accept Greeley,sa a number
of recognized leaders in that party have not
hesitated to express the firm belief that a
large number of Democrats will vote for
Grant, if the latter is the regular nominee.
Several of these, who were in the Missouri
movement from the first, and who have
been active in the whole matter here, re-
turn very sore over the course pursued by
Gratz Brown, and declare positively that
Brown sold them out, without previous
consultation with them, and simply as a
step taken deliberately, be-
cause he saw that, without some such trick,
he could not secure place on the ticket,
and that he traded with the Greeley men
after looking the whole field over quietly,
because he could best advance his interests
with them.

WASHINGTON, May 7.--The talk in GER
tain quarters about Grants withdrawing as
a candidate before the Philadelphia conVen-
ton, has been generally received with deri-
sion heretofore; but to-day there have been
several important conferences among the
leading Administration Senators and mem
bers, in which the possibility of such an
event was earnestly discussed. Tonight
the story is very generally circulated that
similar conference was held in New York
on last Saturday, at which Speaker Blaine
and Secretary Boutwell, were present, and
that leading Republicans, bankers and
others, urged Secretary Boutwell, to resign
and allow his name to go before the Phila-
1elphia convention. 1t is quite apparent
that the Republicans are discussing the
of new departure on candidates.
An important consultation of Administra-
ion Republicans was held to-day in the
marble room of the Senate chamber, to dis
,uss the course to be pursued towards the
who had joined the Cincinnati
movement. One or two Senators, like
Chandler and Edmunds, favored war to
5he knife policy, and denounced them as
traitors to the Republican party. Other
including Wilson favored a
peace policy for the present, with the
future hope that the Democrats would
nominate a straight ticket, and that the
Liberal Republicans would thereupOn all
return to the fold. 1t was intimated that
he President held that view; and so far as
his conference could bind anybody, it was
agreed to pursue lenient course. A pro-
