Gas one leading Republican after an
other" says the Chicago Tribune, ''joirs
the Liberal ranks. the party Of prejudice,
and plunder, and hate, devotes itself to
proving that this particular man has
been everything that was bad. Trum-
bull, Palmer, Koerner. Sumner, Bird,
Greeley, Upton, Julian, Clay, Schurz,
and many others, have all been bitterly
denounced. It is painful to think Of
what consumnate set of scoundrels have
hitherto led the Republican party. That
organization is to be congratulated on
having freed itself from such men, and
having come under the leadership of
such pure patriots as Cameron, and
Butler, and Grant, aud Clayton, and
Casey. and Leet, and Pomeroy, and the
long line of kindred SOULS"

LIE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONvEN-
TIoN.-The meeting of the Democratic
National Convention in Baltimore, to-
day, the 9th, has drawn to the city dele.
gates and others distinguished in the
politics of the country, end the city is
overhowing. No more important polit:-
cal aesemblage, in view Of the great Goa
litlon which is proposed with Liberal
Republicans and non-partisan elements
has, perhaps, ever assembled in the
| country with reference to Presidential
election.
The pressure for tickets is absolutely
overwhelming. The theatre will hold,
at the outside, not moro than 3, 500 peo.
pie, while there are 10000 applications
for seats, with 400 applications from
representatives of the press. How every.
body is to be satisfied, it is impossible to
! say.
The Opera House decorations, under
the joint management OF Mr.. McLune
and Mr.. Ford, are OF the most elegant
and brilliant character, eclipsing every
thing Of the kind ever seen in Baltimore
IN the way of decorative art. Besides
the pictures, notices, &c., heretofore
mentioned Us forming part of the
spleudid adornment Of the theatre, there
are numerous burners, ensigns, hanging
baskets, boquets, exotics and other taste
tul ornamentation, suggestive of the
"pence and good will" which is the key
stone OF the preparations for the event,
as well as the foundation sentiment of
the campaign which the Convention will
probably inaugurate.
1t is understood that none but dele.
gates will be admitted to the main floor
OF the theatre, psrquetLe and parquette
circle, and that none but bona tide news
paper workers and telegraph operators
will be allowed to go on the stage, ex-
cept, OF course. the presiding officer,
vice presidents and official secretaries of
the body. For the numerous visitors to
Baltimore during the Convention, COM
pr1slng strangers, clubs from other cities,
NC, the balcony circle and gallery of
the Opera House will be set apart.
There Will be sixteen seats and tables on
the stage for the photographers and
writer's for the Associated Press. Also,
twenty tables for other reporters in the
orchestra, and 200 seats, without tables,
In the rear of the stage for editors and
members of the press generally The
National Executive Committee will &C.

The silken badge for members of the
Convention, adopted by the resident
committee from the design by Mr.. John
L. Ford. is OF blue and gold, represent
ing dove, with out.sproad wings, carry
ing an olive branch in its mouth, sym
bolizing peace" Under the design is
the monogram of the Convention,
printed in gold, D. n. c., of antique
type, tastefully interwined. the whole
forming most beautiful and appropriate
badge, valuable and artistic enough to
insure its preservation, after the Con
vention, as a memento of the new ern
which it will inaugurate.

A Columbia letter to the Beaufort Re

The movements and speeches OF Judge
Orr are alarming the friends of Frank.
Moses. It is evident that the Judge
means business, and that he has host
of determined. influential and energetic
friends. It is also certain that his
avowed design of securing the nomi
tion Of an honest State ticket is in :
cordance with pledge of Grant to 8.
port the effort with all the power of IT,.
Federal Administration. It is asserted.
with great earnestness. that unless the
cc::cg State Convention accedea TO the
demands of the Orr men, there will be a
split, and thorough reform ticket will
be put in the field. Such ticket would
receive tho cordial support of Grant and
the party outside this State.
Frank. Moses is eaid to be very blue.
He is working against the tide for the
nomination, and even if he gets it, the
chances are that he will be defeated in
the election by the combination Of the
Orr men, reformers, and the Democrats.
1t is not certain that Orr wants the
domination for Governor for himself,
but unless he is satisfied with the State
ticket, there will be trouble in the camp.

THE STEAMSHIP OLD DOMINION

II any other proof were needed that iron steam
ship building In America Is longer an experiment
it has been furnished in the arrival OF the new iron
steamship Old Dominion, just finished at Whining
ton, Del, and intended to run between New York,
Norfolk and Richmond. This vessel is, without
doubt, one Of the best iron steamships yet con-
structed. She is iron throughout, with the ex-
ception Of the joiner work. and all her interior iron
work Is SO adjusted that, while the demand for
pie space has not been overlooked, the security OF
the braces and ORDERS the gallows frame for the
engine and the deck side OF the paddle boxes
which are also of iron-a new feature In iron ship
building-have been all well assured. The COM
pany have, by years OF experience demonstrated
the economy OF sidewheel steamers, and this new
est acquisition is OF that class and while she has
not been constructed with view to fast running,
trial trip and her set In the water that she will vet
render good account OF herself In this particular.
Her engines are vertical beam, seventy-hve inch
cylinder and eleven feet stroke. She is the largest
vessel owned by the company, her capacity being
1922 tons, Custom House measurement; length,
200 feet; breadth, Az feet; hold, "a feet.
There are ample accommodations for $50 first
class and fifty second class passengers. The ga
looms are elegantly fitted up and are quite worthy
the builders, while the upholstery Is the work OF a
Philadelphia house, and reflects much credit on the
workmanship OF the parties to whom the matter
was entrusted. There IL bridal chamber, but
memory of Its beauty alone remains.
The steerage Is one Of the best features OF the
ship. Many OF the steerage passengers on this line
are col0red citizens OF decidedly high tone. To
overcome the scrupes of these people the steerage
has been fitted mp with all the comforts and con-
veniences with many OF the luXures or the cabin.
The apartment for females Is on the larboard, the
apartment for males the starboard bow, and 1t Is
required OF the steerage keeper that all the bed
ding be aired every morning and the floors
scrubbed.
Just forward of the engine room is steam fire
extingusher, communicating by pipes and hose
with every part of the ship. The steam Is always
kept up on the engine that works 1t. and the hose
permanently adjusted
The minor appointments are OF the best material,
and most improved pattern. The desire for ele-
gance, has been secondary to the demand for
stanchness. Both have been secured In this in
stance without finding it necessary to sacrifice the
slightest claim of either, The total cost OF the old
Dominion was 100000. Captain ii. A. Bourne, an
officer OF many years experience on this line, will
command the Old Dominion. She will start on her
regular trip from pier 81 foot Of Beach street. this
afternoon, and will carry very heavy freight.
