THE Boston Advertiser is informed, in
quarters which must be considered authori-
tative, that the nomination of the Cinclnnau
Convention is to fall upon Hon. Charies
Francis Adams. A Cincinnati correspond
ent who has made study OF the cheeriul Top
lie ofthe probable nomination OF that eonven-
t;on saws the struggle will be between Davis
cd rrnmbull with chances in favor of the
former. The writer says the doughty Davis
has managed very adroitly and has secured to
his interest the delegations from the South
| and East where the movement is confined to
few trading politicians. He further says that
Mr.. Adams will have little support at the out
set and will be formidable only in the event
| of dead lock between Davis and Trumbull.
THE suggestion by the Boston Journal of
Hon. S. E. Spring as one of the electors at
large for Maine will meet with ready and
hearty response from all parts of the State
and particularly in this section. Few men
are so generally and deservedly popular as
Mr. Spring, and his name will add dignity and
strength to the electoral ticket.
THE Bangor Wing has an admirable lead
ing article on ''The American Case at Gene
va" 1t treats the subject exhaustiyely, ar.
guing that the case as submitted should be
insisted upon by our government. In conclu.
sion, itsays:
A strong pressure has already been brought
to bear upon Congress on behalf of holders OF
direct claim and others, to secure modifica
ton of our demands, and we have noticed
threats that the Cincinnati Convention will ell
deavor to make partizan capital on the same
issue. 1t is to be hoped that Congress will mo-
consent to emarrass the Executive authoritie,
by inconsiderate action upon SO important
subject, and especially that the hope of hast
ening the payment of money will not be per
mitted to influence negotiations which concern
the honor and dignity of the nation. The peo
pie have confidence in the patriotism and sa
gacity of the President and the ability of thost
whom he has called to his counsel in this case
and we are assured that if his hands ar,
; strengthened by hearty public support he viii
conduct these negotiations to an honorable ant
| peaceful conclusion.

GRAND TRUNK RAILRoAD-During the year
1871, there was an increase in the gross receipts
of the Grand Trunk railroad of 81 ,O43, 273, the
whole amount being 8,313,014, and expenses
about SO, 100000 The managers are confident
that the receipts of 1872 will largely exceed
those of 1871 as the. two past months show an in
crease of $150.000. Within a month or two the
balance of the Grand Trunk equipment bonds,
amounting to one and quarter millions of dol
lars, have been disposed of at par. The work
of improving the line is steadily going on. One
hundred and ten miles of steel rails were laid
up to January, 1872, and it is estimated that in
four years the whole line will be relaid with
steel, as iron has been found unsatisfactory on
account of the rigor of the seasons and the i'm
mense amount of freight transported. In the
improvement of the rolling stock, twenty-five
first-class passenger cars, twenty Pullman cars,
twenty engines and very large number of sec
ond-class passenger and freight cars have been
added the past year, and more have been order
ed for future use. During the past three years,
one thousand changeable gauge ears, for
through traffic in freight, have been added, and
fifteen hundred ordinary box and platform cars,
making total addition to the carrying capaci-
ty of the road of twenty-five hundred cars.
The company have also ordered a new and COM
modious iron ferry-boat for use at Sarna, large
enough to carry full passenger train.-The

LOCKING Up,

Now that the attention of Congress has once
more been called to this nefariOus business
we insist that it shall be dealt with thoroughly.
The experience of Black Friday" should
have sufIiced, but it seems that it did not.
Congress inquired into that wrong, but did
nothing decisive. And men who would burn
their neighb0r's houses in order to roast their
eggs nicely do MT mind little empty scold-
ing. Can you expect to reform such rascals
by telling them they are naughty boys, and
must MT do so again ? Congress will achieve
contempt and deserve it if it does not at least
enact that any bank that lends itself to the
base uses of those who would make money
unnaturally scarce shall forthwith be wound up.
But shall the retail sinners be punished,
and their wholesale exemplar and prototype
be spared? Secretary Boutwell, is the head
and front of this giant wrong. Where others
lock up Millions, he locks up tens Of millions.
He keeps One Hundred Millions In the
Treasury earning nothing, when, if he would
but use it to reduce his interest-bearing Debt,
he would return all that vast hoard to beneti-
cent activity. How long, o how long9

SENATOR JAMES wooUs, SPONSORS.

The People Of our State, with signal una
nimty and emphasis, have reprObrated official
venality and peculation. Such was the mean
ing such The motive, of their verdict in our
last State Election. The most conspicuous
among the robberies and rascalities which i'm
PEELED them to this demonstration, had been
perpetaated by prominent Democrats; hence
the Democratic party and its candidates were
exposed to the first sweep of the tornado;
but its impulse was not hostility to Democrats
as such, but to thieves. Thousands of life
long Democrats voted the Republican ticket
throughout, not that they had changed their
politics, or deemed their own party hope
lessly corrupt, but because it seemed to
them that the Democratic ship needed
oyerhauling and scraping clean of the
barnacles by which she was infested and be-
fouled before she could make another credit
able voyage. Their war-cry was not "Down
with the Democrats !" but "Down with the
",thieves.n whom they struck wherever they
could most effectively be hit.
But knaves and jObbers stood ready to ride
the whirlwind, and seek to make it available
in grinding their private grist. In this there
was nothing new Let it be resolved that an
Honest Mems party shall be formed, and half
the villains in the land would make haste to
join it. Its name and prestige are exactly
what they would realize that they peculiarly
needed.
Among those elected to our present Lcgsla-
ture were several Republicans who bad done

1870 and II. Five of these were Senators re-
elected Messrs Bowen Of Genesee, Lewis of
Erie, WinslOw of Jefferson, j. Wood of Liv-

these were assailcd in their canvass for re-
election because of their votes for Tweed's
Charter OF 1870, but-sometimes by the help Of
solid lying-thcy were enabled to pull through.

TILE GTdTUS OF ERIE.

We print this morning an interesting state
ment made by Gen. Sckles to reporter of
TIE TRIBUNE, giving full account of the
present attitude of the new administration Of
the Erie Railroad. in relation not only to its
yanauished enemies, but also to those honest
shareholders who differ from the present
management on questions of policy.
We have sought this expression OF views
and purposes from the man best quail
fed to speak positively in regard to
the matter, and print it to satisfy the
natural interest which is taken by the pub
lie in relation to some recent events which
have excited general attention and remark.
At the same time VIC consider that tho Erie
Railroad has now entered upon the normal
and regular existence Of legal commercial
corporation, and is subject to no more public
surveillance or official interference than
any other Railway in tho United
States. 1t has Lad hard history.
It has been redeemed by brilliant and we'll
fought battle from the control Of the men who
werc misusing and rapidly destroying it. 1t
was promptly but thoroughly redeemed, before
its value and usefulness were gone. The
measures which were taken for its rescue were

sanction of the courts end tho Legislature
There can be no protcxt for sus-
picion found in the names and
the character of the men WHO compose its
direction. The name of Gen. Dix, its Presi-
dent, is q synonym of honor and integrity, and
the Directors, Barlow Sherman, Mcclellan,
Travcrs, Diven, and all the rest, are men as
incapable of intentional wrong as they are
difficult to deceive. There is no Board OF
Directors in New-Yor!l more able and more
honest. We respectfully submit that business
men of this calibcr have right
to manage their affairs and those
Of their principals on business basis without
any outside interference. The Erie Company
is no longer suspected corporation; no one
fears that tie revenues Of that great thor
oughfare are to be stolen by its officers or
otherwise diverted from their legitimate pur-
pose. Its officers have therefore the right to
conduct its affairs with the same freedom and
the same discretion which are enjoyed by other
lawful industrial enterprises They appear to
possess the confidence of the public and Of the
majority of the stockholders of Erie, and there
is no necessity and no justification for any
treatment of them which would not be proper
in the case of any other corporation. The road
has suffered sufficiently from harassing and
scandalous suits. There seems no present call
for any more of them. We are informed and
believe that the work Of restoration and Of
restitution i3 going on with remarkable sue

the help of the legal authorities they will
doubtless ask for it,
