The New York Tribune on the Phila-
delphia Nomination.

The New York Tribune contains
an article on the Philadelphia Con-
vention in which it says as follows
concerning the nominees:
Gen. Grant still has great hold alike upon
Northern patriots, whom il was his high priv
ilege to lead TO victory, and upon Southern
negroes, whom it was his equally high priv
ilege-pro-slavery and Democratic, though
he was-to approach with the armed guaran-
ty of freedom. Henry Wilson is working
man and lifelong Republican, who passed
through thirty years of political contests with
out question Of his devotion to principle, or
stain upon his integrity"
An exchange adds that Gen. Grant
has another "high privilege" to de-
feat the founder of the Tribune in
the Presidential contest of 1872, and
with Henry Wilson, to preserve the
country from the rule of such men
as t be candidates Of the Cincinnati
Convention, who are not devoted to
inciple, and whose integrity can
not stand the test.

Democratic Convention.

The Wisconsin Democratic State
Convention was held at Milwaukee
on Thursday last. The bargain and
sale programme fixed up by the
Greeleyites Of the party was carried
out to the letter, and any member
who was not disposed to the whip
ping in progress, was soon Kissed
down by the body. One delegate,
who announced that he had been a
Democrat for forty years wanted a
committee to externally bury the
Democratic party" and appealed to
the convention mot to indorse the
man who had villified them worse
than any living man" His speech
received o storm of Kisses mingled
with cheers. The Cincinnati plat
form was adopted, and delegates
were chosen to represent the State
at Baltimore with indirect instruc-
tons to vote for the Cincinnati NOM
inees. The Milwaukee Sentinel says
majority of the delegates are known
to be in favor of Mr.. Greeley. That
paper closes its notice of the Con-
vention as follows:
"The abandonment Of the old doctrines OF
the party was painfully felt by all. The
right-about- face in favor of man who has
been an especial object of Democratic hatred
for thirty years, who has heaped upon the
Democratic party the most wanton, unmeas-
ured and gross abuse, was the remarkable
phenomenon in the political history of Wis
consin. Party leaders, like Clarke, Pease,
Cary, Dewey, Strong, Bouck, and others,
closed their eyes and swallowed down the
bitter pill. 1t was, in fact, acknowledged &c
all the world that Democracy as a system Of
political principles is no more"

The Monroe Road-Facts and Fig
ures.

The Galena Gazette having given
currency to the rumor that the dele
CATION to Milwaukee from Dubuque
to consummate arrangements for the
construction of the Monroe road had
returned to the latter city and re-
ported that the project of building
the road had been abandoned, the
Dubuque Times denies the rumor,
and says that the Judge
ID. S. Wilson and Ges. George w.
Jones, of Dubuque, and James Earn
est, of Sbullsburg-reached this city
too late to meet the Directors of the
ST. Paul road, who had just gone
out on a tour of inspection over the
road. Judge Wilson, ewing to the
fact of a coming term of court, was
obliged to return To Dubuque, but
Mr.. Earnest and General Jones still
remain in the city to complete ar
engagements. The Times says the
right of way has been secured
throughout the whole length of the
line, and fully $4,000 of local SUBJ
scriptions and tax also secured
Dubuque will raise her $4,000 as
well as Milwaukee, and every condi-
ton which the company has demand
ed has been complied with.
Mr.. Merrill, the Vice President of
the Company, and the most enter
prising spirit, is most earnest friend
Of the Dubuque Il Monroe extensions,
as is also Selah Chamberlin, the own
err of their water works, who is di.
rector and one of the largest stock
holders in the Company. These gen.
tlemen can be depended upon to ad-
vance the construction of the line,
which there now seems to be every
incentive for the Company to build.

b6rO One of the last acts of Con-
grcss was the passage ofa Revenue
and Tariff and Tax bill. The bill
removes s54, 900, 600 OF national tax
es, which added to the SS5, 600, 900
taken off during the past year; and
the deduction by the expiration of
the tax laws, swells the total to s140,-
600, 000reduction. Official tiguresshow
that tax alton throughout the United
States to-day is nineteen cents less
per head than inlS60. Meantime the
war debt is steadily decreasing.
Figures like these speak volumes in
favor Of the United States.

SAFETY OF DR.. LIvINGsToNE.-A
steamer has arrived at Bombay from
Zanzibar with news which puts the
safety of DR.. Livingstone beyond
doubt. A courier had reached Zan-
zibar from the interior with positive
intelligence that Livingstone had ar
rived at Ungsmembe. Stanley, of
the Herald, had left that place with
letters from the great explorer, and
was near the coast.

ECoI. Forney's paper, the PhiIa.

cECoI. Forney's paper, the PhiIa.
delphia Press, says:
General Jackson was not nomina.
ted by a National Convention. His
candidacy was born of the enthusi-
asm and gratitude of the people,
Grant resembles Jackson in this and
in other respects. The convention
just in session in Philadelphia was a
simple echo and reflection of the
popular devotion to the man who
saved our country. As Mr.. Gree
ley's Republican friends study the
magnificent manifestation in favor OF
Grant, they will perhaps anticipate
tho utter overthrow of their hopes,
and realize that it would have been
n much more fortunate investment
u they had adhered to their original
appreciation of his services and his
character"
