they had abundantly paid the debt.
He considered the Greeley platform
good Republicanism, and stated that

ments of the Cincinnati Convention,

CINCINNATI, June 20.-A firm Of this
city having purchased an inferior or
country brand of pork, rebranded it as
their own city packed and sold it as

matter was laid before the officers Of the

right to rebrand if they chose. The
President decided to-day that their &C.

Democratic State Convention.

FRANKFORT, June 20.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention was called to
order at IL o'clock; by Judge GRADER
ick. General Desha was selected as
temporary President. Resolutions
favoring straight Democratic ticket
aud others lndorsing Greeley and
Brown, were laid on the table, and the
various committees were appointed
The Committee on Permanent Organi-
zation reported for President General
Desha, with Vice Presidents from each
district; Thomas s. Pettet, Secretary.
General Deshs returned thanks for the
honor conferred upon upon him, after
which the Convention took q recess till
= o'clock P. NJ.
At present the feeling seems to be in
favor OF straight ticket at Baltimore,
thought it is positively asserted that
when it comes to voting two-thirds oi
the delegates will vote for the indorse-
ment of Greeley and Brown.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention reassembled at two
o'clock, when the Congressional districts
were called for the appointment OF dele
gates and electors. The Committee on
Resolutions have not yet reported, but
the movement to instruct for Greeley is
a failure. The opposition to it is 80
strong that the advocates dare not press
it to the test. The committee will report
on that subject substantially the follow
ing, which is acceptable to the straight
Democrats That all opposition to the
present national Administration should
be consolidated in the approaching
Presidential campaign without prejudice
to the unity and prosperity OF the Dem
ocratic organization, and that having
full confidence in the wisdom and
patriotism of the National Democratic
Convention to assemble at Baltimore,
we pledge the Democracy Of Kentucky
to abide its action.
The Committee on Resolutions in
their report failed to indorse Greeley.
General Duke offered an amendment
indorsing aud instructing the delegates
for Greeley. lie advocated the amend
ment very earnestly, and was replied 10
by Joseph IL. Blackburn, Alex. Martin
and Robert Johnson, in terms that
brought such shower Of enthusiasm a.
to compel General Duke to withdraw
his resolution. 1t would have been
voted down by large majority.

body Before Grant-An Article
from Sehurz's Own PEN.
From the Westliche Post.
A few Of our Liberal friends are not
satisfied with Greeley's nomination.
We suspect their reasons and motives
Of their discomfort are based on the
opinion that the Cincinnati Convention
did not do the very best it could.
Granted, that it could have made a
nomination more consistent with the
spirit OF the movement, and could have
given the reform measures satisfactory
guarantees. Granted, that many objec-
hons may be urged against the Cincin.
cinnati nominees which shakes the faith
of the conscientious reformer.
But we now ask the honest, conscien-
tious reformer to take glance at the
other side OF the picture. There is
Grant in the full splendsr Of his re-
nomination, and behind him stand the
bread-and-butter brigade in full force,
with sanity submissiveness and insatia-
bic appetite. Grant has promised us,
in his letter OF acceptance, TO continue
the business OF the Government with
the same zeal and in the same manner
as formerly, and the bread-and-butter
brigade responded with enthusiastic
applause. We now beg the consci-
entious reformer 10 consider what the
election of Grant and the continuance
Of the present policy mean. They
mean the application OF more OPP
pressive military rule in the South, and
not the policy OF reconciliation. They
mean the continued support Of the
shameless carPet-bag government
in the formerly rebellious States
They mean q continued cherishing
Of hatred and arimosity between the
North and South.
They mean acts Of nepotism and
favoriteism which will operate with q
still more immoral influence upon the
public service, if the people, by the re-
election of Grant show that these are
matters Of no concern to them.
They mean a new bloom and crop Of
corruption, not alone in the Custom
Houses of New York and New Orleans,
but in the whole country.
They mean the resumption and then
the carrying through Of the San Do
mingo speculation, which Grant relin-
ouished because be feared that il would
damage his chances for reelection
They mean continuance Of the out
landau foreign policy which has almost
succeeded in making the name Of the
American Republic . by word and re-
proach abroad, and has brought the
danger OF trouble with foreign powers.
They mean further despotic intsrfer-
ence OF the President in the political az
fairs OF the States, packing party con-
ventions, and the bribery Of the dele
gates with Government patronage.

A DISCREET HIGHLANDER.-TheD Duke Of
Athol having one day, at Blair Athol, en-
tertained o large party at dinner, produced
in the evening many curious and interest
ing family relics for their inspection,
among them q small watch which had be-
logged to Charles Stuart, aud been given
by him to one of the dukes ancestors.
When the company were upon the point of
departing, the watch was suddenly missed,
and was searched for in vain upon the table
and about the apartment. The duke was
exceedingly vexed, and declared that, Of all
the articles he had exhibited, the lost watch
was the one that he most valued. The
guests naturally became exceedingly uu-
comfortable, and eyed each other suspi-
ciously. No person was present, however,
who could possibly be suspected, and cour-
tesy forbade any stronger step than the
marked expression of the noble hosts ex-
treme annoyance aud distress. Each de-
parted to his homo in an exceedingly unen-
viable state of mind, and the mysterious
disappearance of the royal relic was q
subject of discussion for several months in
society. Agar afterward, the Duke, being
again at Blair Athol, was dressing for din
uer, and in the breast pocket of q coat
which his valet had handed to him, he felt
something which proved to be the missing
watch. "Why,-!" exclaimed his grace,
addressing his man by name, "heres the
watch we hunted everywhere in vain for I"
eyes, sir" replied the man, gravely; 81
saw your grace put it in your pocket"
"You saw me put it in my pocket, and
never mentioned It'll Why didn't you speak
| at once, and prevent all trouble aud nn-
pleasant feeling9" 81 didna ken what
might haze been your grace's tentions,' y
was the reply of the faithful and discreet
Highlander, who saw everything, but said
nothing, unless he were directly iuterrO-
gated.

The PoPE AND CARDINAL. DE BoNNKCHosE.
The En;rers publishes q private letter from |
Rome which has an exceptional importance In |
consequence of the rumors which have been |
q living about on the subject Of the possibls de-
parture of tho Holy Father. Some people have
been much exercised with respect to the visit
of Cardinal de Bonnechose to Rome. maintain
ing that he was charged with confidential
mission from NJ. Theirs, having for its object
to dissuale His Holiness from lending On ear
to the counsels which would urge his depart
ure NJ. Theirs is probably, as the Cardinal
Archbishop is certainly, well aware that the
Holy Father is the sole and best judge OF what
course should be adopted in so grave ques-
ton and it is certain that any representa-
tions which the Cardinal might have made
would have been limited by this consideration
| The fact is, that His Eminence's visit was the
usual episcopal visit lad limina Apostolorum"
| 1t now appears that at the close of the second
! audience which was granted to His Eminence,
which took place the goth of September
| and lasted for an hour and quarter, the Pope,
| after the ecclesiastics who accompanied the
| Cardinal had been presented to him. told the
| latter that he wished to make q small present

in its meaning. The Holy Father then spoke
Of the copjectures current concerning his de-
parture whenever mediate" he went on
to say, on this subject, this scene in the life
of St. Peter alwsys occurs to me. When
the Prince of the Apostles, flying from the
persecution, left the city of Rome, he met not
far outside the gate of st. Sebastian, Our Lord
bearing His Cross Domino, quo vadisi Lord,
whittier goest Thou 2 exclaimed Peter. 60
to Rome was the reply, TO be cruciied afresh.
Peter understood, andremained at Rome in the
midst of the persecution. I do SO also, for il

me the Same reproach. 1t is, then, this, which
is doubtless only legend, but pious legend
which wish to leave with you as o remem
brauce." And Plus TX. gave to the Carolina
Archbishop an ivory carving, in which thi
scene was represented in relief, the frame be
ing surmounted by his own arms.

Froude'S Mission.

It appears that Mr.. J. A. Froude, histo-
RAN, has changed his role from that of re-
lating history to that of manufacturing it.
He wishes to impress his views upon the
future. In pursuit of this ambitious end
he is now upon q mission for arousing
American sympathy in behalf of Engiand
as against her Irish prosecutors. He thinks
America needs enlightenment on that sub
ject aud he ia the man to give it.
It is all mistake, according to Mr..
Froude, about Ireland's being oppressed
and having been oppressed during seven
centuries by England. The Irish are, he
thinks, the sole creators Of their own mis-
fortunes. Leave them to their own Kill
keupy-cat propeusities and the Island
would soon be depopuiated. This striking
benevolence of Mr.. Froude brings him,
strange to say, to the very same conclusion
to which cruelty, avsrice and hatred brought
Cromwell-England must rule Ireland
And of course, it is most ungratefol, rebel
lious and cruel in the Irish people to desire
severance of their ties Of that character.
Mr.. Fronde may believe all this, for men
of narrow minds and expansive Prejudices
! thing, but he will and America poor field
| in which to create An English Juror. On
the contrary, his effort will probably resalt
in fixing public attention more strongly
| upon tho falsity of his plea and the injustice
of his cause. 1t lie one which cannot stand
ventilating, and if England has hitherto
stood her ground, to some extent, in popu-
lar estimation it has been solely from the
fact that her side of the question has as yet
been unheard. Irelsnd's wrongs have had
several millions Of asserters on this Cont
nent, but England has never hitherto put
1 in q epecial and authoritative defence.
Some people were inclined to wait for that
Now that it has come, charity can no longer
ask stay of judgment against her.
Mr.. Froude gets, however, a dollar pei
head from his jury instead of paying them
| and will no doubt go home quite satisfied
with the results of his emission"
