FRIDAY. AUGUST as, 1873


The state convention, of the New York repub-
lcaus, did its work erandly. Their state ticket
is admirable throughout, because they sought
in earnest and without controversy TO select the
best men. 0ne part of their work will be re-
garded everywhere with special satisfaction,
namely, the nomination of Gen. Dix, for gov
ernor, by reclamation. OF all the men they
have named in connection with this office, he is
every way the dttest and most desirable,
the strongest in the present canvass, and the
surest to be elected by a large majority.
His ability and character make him worthy of
the most cordial confidence and the highest
honor The New York Tribune imputes his
nomination to Thurlow Weeds "masterly"
management, and calls it as cone of the greatest
successes of his Ile." If this were true, we
should add that il was the best work Of his life;
but, the enthusiasm with which the name of
Gen. Dix was received by the convention, and
the eagerneSs with which he was nominated by
reclamation, were not the result of anybody's
management.
We notice that this nomination is not ac-
ceptable to either the Tribune Or the World.
The Tribune admits that it is the best the re-
publcans could have made, but shows how
much the Greeley party fear it, by proceeding
to talk of Gen. Dix in manner quite worthy of
that sheet. Unwarranted personal abuse is and
always has been the chief thing in the Trbunes
method of partisan warfare. 1t was never
meaner in this respect than it is now but ii was
formerly much more vigorous in its personal as
saults of this kind The World does not de
scend to the Tribune's style of warfare. 1t
abStains from the personal abuse which the Tri-
bune finds necessary Nevertheless it is greatly
disturbed, and hastens to announce that Gen.
Dix is not a democrat, and that no democrat
should vote for him. ''Dix is no more demo-
crat," says the World, ethan the Batavia corpse
was the body of Morgan" 1t is hardly worth
while TO utter such cries of distress. The voters
Of New York, democrats as well as republicans,
know who and what Gen. Dix is much better
than either the World or the Tribune can tell
them; and they viii be likely to show this at
the polls, in a manner which Greeleyism will
not find very agreeable.
Gen. John A. DIX was born in Boscawen n.
H., July q, 1898, He was at West Point in
1872, and served afterwards in the army, until
1928, when he went TO Cooperstown, n, Y, and
entered the legal profession. From that time
until the outbreak of the rebellion he acted with
the democratic party, sometimes holding impor-
tant offices. The whole country knows lwhat
he was, where he stood, and what he
did after the date of his famous dis
patch:-'I any one attempts to haul down
the American flag, shoot him down on the spotp
His patriotism has been tested and found I'M
sulIied. His integrity is so far above reproach,
that we don't believe the Tribune viii venture
to question it. In the articles of the Tribune
aud the World, there is evidence that they feel
ii certain that he will be the next governor of
New York

CANNIBALIsM IN FoRMosA.-The Pekin
Gazette contains an account Of the shpwreck of
two vessels belonging to Loo-Choo, off tue coast
OF Formosa, near the point inhabited by can
nibals. The captain, officers and crew of one
OF the vessels were saved by a Chinese merchant
vessel that brought them safely to Fungshan,
from whence they were sent to Loo-Choo The
other vessel, containing sixty-nine men, was
dashed upon the rocks, and ffty-seven of those
who escaped death were, in a few days, bar
barously killed and eaten by the cannibals of
Moutan Formosa.
According to the account of one who escaped
death, the typhoon swept over their vessel,
taking three of the men from the deck, who
were Immediately drowned; the vessel, after
drifting about for some days near the coast of
Formosa, was then suddenly capsized throwing
the remaining fifty-six men into the sea /;
but as they were all expert swimmers they
made for the rocky Shore which they all safely
reached.
After wandering over rocks and desert places
for seven days and seeing no inhabitants, they
suddenly came upon party of cannibals, who
rushed upon them, stripped them of their clothes
and OF all they had with them. Yet this time
they fortunately all escaped alive, and fed and
hid themselves among the rocks at some dis
lance; but the "Sangfau" caunibals scented
them ont, surrounded the place, and captured
and killed hlty'four. The other twelve once
more escaped In answer to a memorial, the
Chinese emperor says; "Let the sufferers be re-
warded according to the will of the memorialst.
Let the civil and military officers speed to ex-
anime and punish the cannibals, that il may be
seen we cherish the peoplein our BOSOM"

BOYS IN THE ARMY.-During one battle, a
lrall little fellow hung to the regiment like
frightened child to its mother, simply because
he knew not what else TO do. When the noise
OF battle became greatest, he beat his drum
without reason, in this way working off his eX-
element. He scrambled about in the woods as
intent on beating his drum as the soldiers were
in firing their guns. The very fact that he did
this, made him hero in the eyes of soldiers.
They forgot how they sc0lded him for "whim-
pering and how fercely they ordered him to
the rear in the beginning of the engagement
and saw only the gleaming-eyed, hOtfaced
little fellow beating his drum furiously when
bullets were flying and men falling.
Gen Crttenden, on the march that resulted
IN the capture OF Chattanooga and the battle of
Chlckamauga, was accompanied by his son, a
bright little boy, who wore the straps of
colonel and rode fine horse The sight of this
boy rarely failed to call out expressions of en-
thusiasm from the soldiers, although he was
SIMPLY an unmeaning figure in the scene. One
day, when the division had biyouacked on the
mountain side for dinner, the corps commander
and officers with him stopped near The boy,
fatigued by his long ride, threw himself on
bright colored blanket that his father placed on
the ground. As the general was preparing to
lie down also, the boy said with boy excite
ment, "See the snake, papa-see him squirm."
dozen men said "Great Godp and stood as if
paralyzed. Within few feet of the boy huge
Hundreds of men were on their feet in an in
slant, and all eyes were turned toward the
father and his boy. There was flash OF the
symmetrical, richly made, ornamental sword
of the major general, and it seemed
that the rattlesnake, as it sprung, flew
into dozen pieces The father put his
whole strength into one blow to save his
boy, and as the tall Kentuckian staggered back,
bloody sword in hand, great shout, as over
victory won, went up from the mountain side,
and hundreds of men gathered about him. The
boy had not changed his postion-had not real
lied his danger, and said, with sudden awe,
What makes you so white, papa? knew you
would hit him." This was young Crttenden's
baptism of fire, and it brought moisture into
many rough soldiers eyes.
Again, when some soldiers, with bodies
"scalded" and chafed by marching in the hot
weather, had dropped out of the rauks, and
the general on riding by, said sternly, ''Bad
time to fall behind, men," the boy said "See,
papa, they can't march, they are sore all over"
The corps commander at this stopped his
horse, looked at the men, spoke some encourage
ing words, and suggested course of treatment.
After this the interests of the boy were looked
after by the whole DIVISION Toledo Blade.
