A FARMERS POLITICAL MLUSTRA-
Z" .i1i" F TIONS.

Among those discussing the re-
suits of the Cincinnati Convention
on the streets, Saturday, were some
farmers, one of whom illustrated
his opinion of the nominee for the
Presidency by saying he once owned
4 COW, the best one for milk in his
whole dairy, that had the bad habit
of bringing the milking service to
an abrupt close by kicking the milk
and mixer both over and then jump
and run. Aside from this damag-
ing habit she was the best COW he
had, gave the most and best milk,
WAS a hearty eater, and always in
o robust health. But her good quail
ities were thrown quite into the
shade by this one incurable bad
habit. He presumed he got as much
milk from hereafter what she kicked
over, as from any other COW; but it
was torment to be always milking
in continual fear of her heels,as one
must be always on guard against
surprise, and he could never like
the animal for this unaccountable
freak of hers. ....-
There was no denying the many
great and good qualities of Horace
Greeley, the nominee of the Cincin-
natl Convention, but if he were
President we should all live in fear
of having the milk kicked over, and
ourselves as well,-remarking we
should have been in a pretty predic-
ament if he had been President
during the war, with his notions
Habout making the best available
peace, and allowing the shareholders
their empire. We pass
ed on, thinking that this man knew
quite as much about government
matters as Mr.. Greeley does about
farming. I. IIH ..s4F

! CONGRESSIONAL BUSINESS.

.d OF the twelve appropriation bills
s. three have become laws and seven
are either in conference or being
enrolled. Besides these the river
and harbor bill has passed the
House and been reported to the
Senate, but the bill making appro-
e priations for sundry civil expenses
: has not yet passed the House. 1t
is supposed the tariff bill will reach
the Senate about Thursday. The
House will be prepared to adjourn
on the third of June, but the Sen
ate's business is not as far advanced
as the House, the Senate having yet
to act on the tariff and other i'm
portant measures, including the ad-
ditional article of the treaty of
Washington. The last named, it is
supposed, will give rise to several
discussions. The majority of the
House is not disposed to extend the
time of adjournment beyond the Sd
h- of June Should the House return
,a. to the Senate the resolution to ad-
journ ON the 29th of May, it will
: rest with the Senate to suggest a
% day other than those agreed by the
1. two Houses separately. Fourteen
!, absent members of the House have
, been tefegraphed to return to Wash

If the Republicans who are at
present in league with the Copper
heads do not think it impertinent,
we will remind our readers that
seven years ago this week, occurred
an event which will forever stand
prominent in history. On the 9th
day of April, 1865, the city of New
York, and the whole land was elec
trified by the publication of the fol-
towing telegram.
Var Department, Washington,
Aprn 80 o'clock A. N.
To Maj. Gen. Dix, New York: a.a
This Department has received the
official report of the surrender, this
day of Gen. Lee and his army to
Lieut.. Gen. Grant on the terms pro-
posed by Gen. Grant. Details will
be given as speedily as possible.
EDWIN M STANTON, .
Secretary of War.
In dispatch sent half an hour
later to the victorious General by
Mr.. Stanton these words occur ::
"The thanks of this Department
and of the Government and of the
people of the United States-their
reverence and honor have been de-
served-will be rendered to you and
the brave and gallant officers and
soldiers of your army for all time" "
Nor did Mr.. Stanton say more than
the truth. Yet, seven years later,
we find a busy and obtrusive crowd
of malcontents, disappointed ego
fists, and audacious Presidency
seekers, resorting to every trick and
subtle practice to blacken the great
fame of the victor of that day
which sealed the perpetuity of the
Republic, and established it firm in
its place as one of the greatest Pow
ers of the world. But the people
are not SO forgetful or ungrateful as
the scheming politicians imagine.
They know the debt they owe the
modest soldier who crowned their
cause with victory, and who not
even turning aside to enter in tri-
umph the city he had captured,
forthwith proceeded to reap the
fruits of his victory, and lend his
aid in relieving the country of the
heavy burden of war expenses. Ap-
pomatox Court House has not so
entirely faded from the memory of
the country as Mr.. Greeley and Mr..
Shurz may suppose, nor do the peo-
pie forget that one Of the greatest
names inrthe history Of the Ameri-
can Union is that of Grant.-Nec
York Times.

We have the assurance of several
esteemed contemporaries that Gratz
Brown has his eye on the Presiden

him to think, however, that he has
no chance of ever getting the ter

that handsome piece of upholstery.

Mr.. Gray discovered anon-explosive
Illuminating fluid To show how safe
the new compound was, he invited a
number of his friends to meet him in
his rooms, whittier he had brought a
barrel of the fluid which he at once
proceeded to stir with red-hot poker.
As he went through the roof of
the house accompanied py his friends,
he endeavored to explain to his near
est travelling companion that the par
ticular fnid in the barrel had too
much benzine in it, but the gentleman
could not wait for the explanation.
Mr.. Gray continued his ascent till he
met Mr.. Jones who informed him that
there was no necessity for him to 60
higher up, as every one was coming
down-so Mr.. Gray started back to be
with the party. Mr.. Gray's widow
offers for sale the secret of the non

she wishes to raise money enough to
buy q silver handled coffin, with a
gilt plate for the late Mr.. Gray.

by unanimous consent.

Hon. Gratz Brown then assembled the ros-
trum and was received with loud cheers.
He spoke as follows:

Judge HOadley again got the floor, charging
that the Tammany ring had uiumphed. He
would defeat Greeley and Brown if he had to
vote for Grant to do it. He was no Office seeker,
but was after men to punish them before they
got their hands in the public treasury. But he
was not in favor of abandoning their organiza-
ton. He said they should remain together main
tanning their organization until the time should
arrive when their principles could prevail.
Several other members spoke for and against

Comments of the Press.

Comments of the Press.
New YORK, May 2.-On reception OF the news
OF the nomination of Greeley in this city, a large
crowd gathered at the Tribune office. Mr.. Gree
ley was called for, and appeared. He declined TO
make speech, but hadt undergo a vast amount
Of Misunderstanding. A salute Of one hundred guns
were fired in City Hall Park in his honor.
The Express says Of the nomination: cold
White Coat" viii take large portion of the
rank and file Of his party with him. As TO the
question whether the Democrats will endorse his
nomination, the Express says: ''Greeley has at
times abused us all roughly, but we are a fOrgiv-
ing race Of men, and shall do what is bestt0r our
country"
The Cincinnati Advertiser says the prospects
of the Republican party have frightened, and
whether the Democrats endorse Greeley or not,
he is deemed to be defeated,
The EceHiHg Post heads the news "GTand
Failure-the curtain falls-sad transformation
scene-retOrm surrenders to monopoly and CEN
tralization."
Greeley expressed surprise at his nomination,
and said he would accept in letter. Among
the crowd outside the Tribune office, comments
were Of course various. Some declared the
convention had made fzzle Of it, and
nominated by no means the strongest
man, while others, with more enthusiasm, were
sure that if any body could give the
Greeley. Said one man, ''YOu have no idea the
hold he has among the masses. The working
men will go for him because they believe he Is
honest, and that is the great thing after all -
1t was suggested that he could not hope for auy
large portion of the Democratic vote, on account
Of his past, as an uncOmpromising foe OF this
party, but the ready answer was that his past
record was Of little Importance compared to his
present position. His advocacy of general am
nesty and universal equality, it was thought,
would give him greater strength with Democrats
and with the people of the South, than any other
Republican would have. The nomination has
created great sensation in this city, and is the
current topic of conversation. The Liberal
Republican Committee will give Greeley sera-
made to night, and a rousing mass meeting next
week viii give greater emphasis to the event.
The Sun Tomorrow says, never was such hon
or paid the newspaper press, as the nomination
OF two editors at Cincinnati. 1t believes the
Liberal Republicans and Southern Democrats
viii all support Greeley, and that fact will exert
powerful influence on the Northern Democrats.
The North, South, East West are for him. The
Germans seem for him enthusiastically, and he
is likely to carry the Irish vote. 1t only remains
for the people TO elect him

A delegate moved that recess of twenty
minutes be taken. Loud cries Of no, no
and great confusion.l
A delegate moved that the Convention!
should not adjourn till the nomination of
President and Vice-President be completed.
[Cheers.]
The President, soto uoce, asked the dele
gate, who was close to the rostrum, to
withdraw that motion, inasmuch as the
Convention would be likely to do so any
how.
Amid much excitement and confusion,
the Secretary again began the States. As
the call proceeded, and one State after an
other increased the vote for Horace Gree
ley,
wild Cheers and Shouting
interrupted the proceedings, and when the
vote of Indiana, 10 for Greeley, was an
nounced, the cheers were overwhelming,
the delegation from that State and many
others rising to their feet and swinging their
hats with the greatest enthusiasm.
