The Great Eastern.

The Great Eastern has not achieved the
great results for which it was projected. 1t
was originally intended to form one of a feet
Of six steamers of equal capacity for the
Eastern trade. But it was found upon eX-
pertinent that to navigate such vast wonder
vessel was a failure for all commercial pur-
poses. The operating expenses and the diff
ncuities OF gathering a cargo and passengers
suificient in quantity and number to render
her trp pecuniary success proved futile
What she has not accomplished in one direc-
ton, however, she has admirably done in
another. Although commercially and finan-
cially a failure, such as would probably have
dismantled her long ago, she proved to be
just in time for the calls of science which
have rendered her invaluable in an unlocked
for capacity. Since 1865 she has been exclu-
siyely devoted to submarine telepraphic p,,r-
poses, and during the time has laid in various
parts of the world twenty thousand miles of
deep-sea electric cable, all Of which is now in
good working order. But for her the Atlantic
cable might not have been laid. This vessel
was the only one capable of affording accom-
modatiOns necessary for slowing thousands of
miles of heavy cable, and, above all afford
ing the evenness or steadiness requisite for
paying it out without difficulty or disaster.
Since laying the, Atlantic cable she has laid
down others in al, parts of the world. The
British Australian, China Submarine, British
India, and British Indian Extension are only
few Of them. She is now chartered to lay
| a fourth transatlantic cable, and is only
awaiting its completion to start, lying now at
Sheerness. The cable is to be manufactured by
and laid under the auspices of the Telegraph
Construction Company of England. She is
expected in New York bay in August.

Oglesby for Governor, and good men as his
/ associates on the State ticket, and we will
carry Illinois by such majority as will fill
every true Republican heart with Joy.
| JOHN A. LOGAN"
/ With this prophecy ringing in their ears
the delegation went right heartily to work,
nominated Dick Oglesby by unanimous accla-
nation, and State ticket which will in every
respect satisfy Senator Logan's demand for
good men," and supplemented the days
proceedings with series of patriotic resolu-
tons of which the following is the eleventh
and last.
% Resoloed, That the people of the United
States owe U. S. Grant great deal of graft
tude for his patriotic devotion to the interests
of the people in war and peace that we have
undated confidence in his integrity, patriot
ism, ability, and good judgment, and hereby
instruct our delegates to the Philadelphia
Convention to vote for and use all honorable
means to secure his nomination as the Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency of the
United States"
From present indications it seems as though
Dick Oglesby would walk over the track in
the Gubernatorial race without sufficient OPP
position to make the campaign exciting. If
Governor Palmer wants to experience the
chagrin that overcOmes badly beaten candi-
date on the morning after an election let him
accept the Democratic nomination and 90 into
the contest with ''big-hearted Dick Oglesby."
Ii Senator Trumbull is anxious to test the
relative esteem in which he and General
Grant are held by the people of Illinois let
him consent to be one of the electors on the
Greeley ticket. There will be disparity in
the figures not tiattering to the man who
claims to be one of the fathers of Liberal"
Republicanism.-Balti american.

ton also, the appointing of our old and tried
friend, Hon. Gerritt Smith, and Rev. w. F..

thy, and shall have our united and hearty
support.
3. Resoloed, That we acknowledge the I'M
firing and superhuman efforts to produce a

whole colored race in the United States will
be extended to him, and his name handed

Miramnr, the Deserted Home OF
Macmillan.

Some European correspondent, in the
course OF his ramblings up and down, has re-
Gently allowed his footsteps to tend toward
the stately, but now deserted, palace of Mira
mar, near Trieste, where the illstarred Max
imilian and CarlOtta passed so many happy
days before the Mexican mirage arose before
their bewildered sight. Situated in one of
the lovelicst spots ON the face of the earth
at the head of the blue Adriatc, and fur
nished with every comfort and luxury that
money could procure or a cultivated taste
desire, the palace of Miramar is even now
when all its associations are so sad and
gloomy, q miracle of beauty and grandeur and
very attractive to the tourist The grounds
and gardens are kept with the same scrupu-
lous care as in former days. Taciturn and
melancholy domestics take the usual charge
of the apartments and exhibit their mournful
splendors. Mammoth oaken doors open into
resembling and armor-clad halls, clusters of
| antique weapons, groups of portraits, vast
| marble bust and magnificent, massive furni-
| ture meet the eye at every step. The WISH
tor is shown the "Cabin," or favorite room
of the Archduke, with its pendant lamps,
small windows, writing-desks, and wine
glasses intact; the throne-room with its
bronze chandeliers and the private chambers
of the noble couple; and, as he energies, he
cannot but dwell with sadness upon the fate
by which SO conspicuous an instance of do
mestic bliss, as this palace witnessed in years
gone by, was terminated by an ignoble exc
cution and agonizing insanity.

Grant In Illinois.

The signs in the West are most cheering
The nomination of Greeley and Brown has
made no impression whatever on the solid
Republican ranks. The Democrats seem to
be supporting Mr.. Greeley with more or less
enthusiasm, but the sixty thousand readers
of the Weekly Tribune in the Ohio Valley have
utterly refused to second the Presidential as
pirations of its editor. In Illinois, particu-
iarly, it was feared that Mr.. Trumbull, would
lead off q formidable company OF desertcrs,
but the events of the last three weeks have
abundantly demonstrated the fact that he has
lost all his influence at home, and that his
detection will cost General Grant one vote
namely. that of the distinguished Senator
himself. The Chicago Tribune, the organ of
the Liberal party in illinois, has been called
upon to name twelve Republicans Of any
social or political prominence in that city
who support Greeley and Brown, and we have
not vet seen any answer to the challenge.
We take it for granted that the twelve are not
to be found. That such challenge should
have been made, shows the insignifcance of
the Liberal movement in the city in which it
was supposed to be strong.
The Illinois Republican State Convention,
which met at Springfield on the ODD instant,
represented the old-fashioned Republicanisnl
of the West. In numbers, in enthusiasm,
and in harmonious action it far exceeded any
State Convention that has been held in ILL
nois since 1860. AS soon as a temporary Or
ganization had been effected a telegraphic
greeting from Senator Logan was read, which
was received with mighty cheers. The des-
patch was in these words:
WASHINGTON, May %, 1872.
" To the Republican State Convention, Spring
field, Illinois:

The Senatorial Cont est In Nevada,
From the Salt Lake Herald, I

The fight between the asprants for the
seat OF Nye in the United States Senate, from
Nevada, wakes warm and bitter; and in con-
nection with it some startling charges have
been made this week, which have shocked
society in the West and shaken stocks in the
San Francisco market. The belligerents are
William Sharon, of the bank of California,
and John p. Jones, both working hard for
the Senatorship. The charges are, first,
against Jones, that he fired the Yellow Jacket
mine, Gold Hill, Nevada, on the morning of
April I, 1869, which cost the lives of thirty
eight men and second, against Sharon, that
Jones is falsely charged, and that he, Sharon,
has subomed men to prefer the charge against
Jones and swear to it. Jasper O'DOnnell,
former foreman of the Jacket, and j. S. Hub
bell, underground foreman of the same mine,
principally the former, are the parties on
whose testimony the grave charge is made,
and G. F. Kellogg is implicated in the af-
fair with Jones. The tale is told with cir
cumstantial details, and if false is we'll con-
cocted.
Briefly told, the charge is, that Kellogg
acting for Jones and under his instructions
had six or seven carloads of powder lowered
into one of the drifts, and by it fired the mine.
the object being to affect the stock market.
The fire and its terrible results are matters of
history, the grave charges concerning it have
yet to be investigated. That it should be
made at this time, when political contest is
being waged by the two parties, and that
Sharon, the political opponent of Jones,
should be the principal figure in having the
charge given to the public, are points in favor
of Jones, for the INSCRIPTIONS means to which
political adversaries will resort are sufficiently
well known to give coloring of this charac-
ter to the accusation. The question will be
asked, why did not Sharon move in this mat
ter before? When and how did he learn the
horrible story? Why did O'Donnell and
Hubbell keep the secret locked up in their
breasts until this late hour? And why do
they now give it to the public in the heat of
political fight?
Still, the accusation is made with such
minuteness of detail that society may well be
shocked. Either the terpitude of Jones is so
great for having planned and executed such
a diabOlical act, which becomes capital
crime, that his life should answer for it :; or
the terpitude of Sharon is almost equally
great in having such a charge falsely pre-
ferred against his opponent. One thing is
clear, that unless the guilt can be fastened
where it properly belongs, the Nevada Legis-
lature would act safely in dispensing with
the services of either until the innocence or
guilt of one or the other is clearly estab-
lished

From the Baltimore Americana
The Original Jacobs.

In the midst OF all our glorifcation over
Greeley We should not forget to whom the
honor is due of first offering the tempting bait
that lured the coy and modest PHILOSOPHER
from the recesses of an editorial sanctum into
the broad glare of the fierce light that beats
upon Presidential candidate. The name of
this national benefactOr is Mr.. Patrick Do
nan, and he edits newspaper published at
Lexington, Missouri. This gifted individual
is a modern Greek by birth, and with that
sense Of the eternal fitness of things which
attaches itself to the national character he
calls his paper the Caucasian. 1t will not be
forgotten that year ago Mr.. Greeley wrote
to DOnan the famous letter in which he
pointed out to the Democrats the way to de-
feat the Republicans, and which, as explained
by events occurring between then and now,
limited that he was the man for the times and
occasion. Now that the Cincinnati Conyen-
ton has confirmed what DOMAIN did. the able
editor overfows in gushings of 10Y which it
taxes the resources Of language to give ex-
preston to. Such wealth, glitter and a
confusion Of adjectives as fill the columns of
this weeks Cameasian no human being ever
had conception of before. Mr.. Donan mildly
expresses his opinion that it would be 'the
blindest and bessottedest jackassery" for the
Democratic party to make any nomination,
but in q mournful strain he presently owns
up to fear that ssbull-headed Democratic
politicians" will destroy the party and its
cause by calling Convention, and that the
Idiots and demagogues" are resolved to
throw away all the glorious chances Of the
season. But In spite of this encouragement
the hopeful DOMAIN scars away into the empy-
rean Of heaven of adiectives. and draws the
following picture of the happy future when
Greeley shall be President:
