NOTICEABLE FEATURE.

A noticeable feature of Republi-
can meeting everywhere this year,is
the vast crowds in attendance, and
the fact that many Democrats are
present, as deeply interested as any
in the discourse delivered. 1t shows
a malleable state of the public mind.
The people need news, intelligence
and argument. The sallies of wit,
the personal assaults on the charac-
ter of rival candidates. do not 60 for
much; but the careful discussion of
the principles governing each party
are listened to with Intelligent in
terest. We infer from this that the
vote cast at the ensuing Presidential
election will represent more Of in
telligent, fair thought than those
cast at any election for many years.
But because of this we think the
Republican party will have the larg
est popular vote it ever received be-

BITTeR pIsAPPoINTMENT,

If there is a State in the Union
where Mr.. Greeley might reasonbly
expect large gains, it is Vermont.
To that people he is well known.
His paper has for years been more
extensively read there, in proper
ton to the population, than any
where else. For him personally
there has always been a great deal
of respect. tits well known that,
while perhaps he was not confident
of carrying the State, he and his
friends felt absolutely certain of
making extensive inroads on the
Republican party. The result is a
bitter disappointment result all
the more significant because the
voters of Vermont know him so
well and vote understandingly. The
question will occur to every mind,
if Mr.. Greeley cannot make heavy
gains in Vermont, where ca n he ex-
pect to do it? W

willing to weaken it? Assuming
that it would not entirely overthrow
their principles and policy, are they
willing to put them in jeopardy:
And also assuming that it would not
putthe Democrats in absolute power,
are they willing to put them on the
road to it, and give them a better
chance to it than themselves? The
party ,chich made the new Union is
the only party competent and enti-
tied to administer its affairs, and as
an earnest that this is the peoples
missions they will next November
continue it in office, having no fear
but that all its acts will be, as here
tofore, characterized by fidelity to
and interest, by an honest search
their will for reform, by peace abroad
and justice at home, and by an in
creasing watchfulness in the success
Of the most important measures for
the advancement of our national in
terests.
This, then, is the safe path, and
"there IS no doubt about 1t, free Of
difficulty and danger; but the other
is unknown, and fraught with such
difficulties and dangers that even
the most vivid Imagination can not
conjure them up.

BOILER ExPL0sINN.

The terrible catastrophe at
Brown, Bonnell & Cos rolling mill,
Youngstown. on the morning Of the
18th ult,, Is In some respects; with
out 3 parallel i'll this part of the
country. The following account
has been sent us from Youngstown
as correct. 1t is the dispatch pub
lished in the Cleveland Herald of
Thursday morning last,
At three O'Clock this morning, a
range of ten boilers, each fifty feet
long exploded at the rolling mill of
Brown, Bonnell d Co., scattering
the fragments in all directions, with
a noise like a succession of cannon,
which was heard in all parts of the
city, and shaking many buildings.
The boilers supply steam to the
new mill south OF the canal. The
hands had worked their turn and
just left, and those on the new turn
had not come. John Garatty, the
fireman of the boilers, was killed
instantly. His body was mangled
and scalded. No other person was
hurt at the mills. The engineer
had left hut Q few minutes before
and says all was then right. The
cause can only be oonjectured.
One piece of boiler. fifteen feet
long, passed over the buildings and
fell on a house on Canal street,
quarter of a mile distant, falling on
the bed in which William Quigley
and wife and infant were sleeping,
killing the woman and ahild:ipstantr

A DOZEN GOOD REASONS FOR SUP
PORTING GRANT.

First. He has shown by his past
record that he is true friend of the
Union.
Second. He has never abused a
trust, and has had no policy to en-
force against the will of the people.
Third. He has enforced honesty
and introduced economy in all
branches of the Government.
Fourth. By wise financial poll
cy he has reduced the public debt
upward of three hundred and thirty
four millions of dollars. Is
Fifth. He has inforced the laws
of the nation justly, impartially, and
firmly.
Sixth. He has extended the pro-
lection of the Government to A mer-
+ican citizens at home and abroad.
Seventh. He has shown an earn
est desire to promote tranquility
throughout the South, and has done
everything within his power to ad-
vance its prosperity.
Eighth. He has maintained peace
with all nations, and by his wise
policy has preserved the most friend
ly and cordial relations with the
leading powers of Europe.
Ninth. He has given practical
evidence of his sympathy and friend
ship for the working men of Amer
lea, and has neglected no opportu-
nifty to advance their interests.
Tenth. He has proven as great
in peace as he has in war; wise and
magnanimous as a statesman as he
was skillful and just as Soldier.
Eleventh. Under his management
the rights of all citizens will be pro-
tected in the future as they have
been in the past; the credit and in >
tegrity Of the Republic will be
maintained, and our nation will con-
time to enjoy the confidence and
respect of the world. a
Twelfth. His great services dur
ing the rebellion, his devotion to
his country when armed treason
sought its destruction, and the ster-
nng qualities which have since char
acterized his actions as public Of
ficial and private citizen commended
him to the honest men of both par
ties, and entitle him to the gratitude
of the nation.

From $1,000 to 10000.
A Net Gain of Over 5000.

week, resulted in electing the en-
tire Republican ticket by a largely
increased majority. The Senate is
entirely Republican and the House
has but few Dolly Varden's.

expected to live. One piece went
through the mill, knocking down
the furnace stacks and breaking
the machinery. A piece, about
twenty feet long, broke the braces
on one side at the south end of the
Presque Island bridge, about sixth
of a mile distant. Another large
piece lies near the brewery on the
opposite side of the river a third of
a mile distant. About one hundred
feet of trestle work, near by, is
thrown down and not brick or
stone of the foundation of the boil
ers is left in place.
The wreck is total. Loss estima-
ted at $4,000; partly insured.
This accident will stop the mills for
a month or more. A large force is
already at work clearing up the
wreck.

A canvass of the Northern Ohio
Conference Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in session at Masfield,
Ohio, showed 118 for Grant and 2
for Greeley. This is a pretty fair
indication of the unanimity. with
which the old, loyal supporters OF
the Administration of Abraham
Lincoln are going for Gen. Grant.

The Republicans Of Missouri
seem TO have happily settled their
difference of last year and the year
before at the late State Convention.
The candidate for Governor, ex-
Senator John B. Henderson, has a
national reputation gained by his
brilliant term in the United States
Senate, He gave way to Carl schprz,
we believe, and before bis guberna-
tional term is out will likely find bis
way back to his old place at Wash

LOUISVILLE CONVENTION.

The Convention met in Louisville
on Tuesday of last week, and was
called to order at one o'clock by
Blanton Duncan. Levi S. Chatfield
Of New York, was chosen temper;
ary chairman, Wm. NJ. Ferry of
Michigan, was appointed temporary
secretary, Judge Spaulding of New
York then INTRODUCED new feature
in the proceedings by announcing a
sealed letter from Charles O'Conor.
On motion the the letter was read
before the Convention amid tremen-
dous cheering, In this lengthy let
ter he expressed himsels as in deep
sympathy with the movement, but
declines to be candidate. The
Convention was permanently organ
ized by appointing Judge Lyons of
Virginia, permanent chairman. The
President on assuming the chair
made a short address, urging the
importanc Of the movement.
The Conyention on Wednesday
morning was called to order, and
after the necessary preliminaries,the
Convention proceeded to chose a
candidate for President. Mr.. o.
Conor was nominated by acclama-
ton. Six hundred votes were cast
for O'Coner and four for Pendleton
by fouY of the Ohio delegates, this
preventing the nomination from be-
ing made unanimous. John Quincy
Adams of Massachusetts. was NOM
mated for Vice President. At the
evening session telegram was re-
ceived to the effect that O'ConOr
would not accept. This threw the
Convention into an uproar. A
committee Of eight persons was
appointed to consult with O'GonOr
and urge him to accept the nomina-
ton. After q good deal of debate,
convention adjourned over till next
morning. This committee was tomeet
with O'Conor on Tuesday, in New
York apd there have the matter de-
cided. When the Convention had
met on Thursday morning, large
number of the delegates had already
gone home, thinking that the busi-
ness was done. The Convention at
this morning session agreed to stand
by the nominees, and il they re-
fused to accept, it would then fall
to the National Committee to fill
the vacancy. That O'Conor will be
voted for, seems to be settled. The
delegates declare that they will
meyer, no never, vote for Horace
Greeley, and that they have a right
TO vote for who they please; that
their choice, fairly and repeatedly
expressed, is Charles O'Conor, and
that they propose to support him.
They do not generally seem to in.
dulge hope of electing him, though
some are sanguine enough to believe
that Greeley will withdraw, and
that Grant may thus be beatal.
But all agree and rejoice in the con-
viction that in any event Greeley's
goose is cooked; that they represent
a constituency numerous enough to
accomplish that. at least A Georg-
ia gentleman said be was absolutely
certain that O'Conor would carry
that State by 10000 majority.
