ToonBgS FIRST AND SECOND CHoI

TOOMBS'S FIRST AND SECOND CHOICE
Every day there are leading Southern men
who come before the public in speeches or let
ters, accepting the situation created by the
war, the constitutional amendments, and the
subsequent social changes, and earnestly de-
string O restoration of normal and legal gov
ernment as a means of restoring the lOng-d
turbed tranquility and harmony among the
States. But as these utterances invariably
conclude with some expression favorable to
the election of Messrs. Greeley and Brown,
they are never allowed to appear in the columns
of those papers which seem to consider them
selves the personal property of Gen. Grant.
If the matter is of such signal publicity as to
compel notice, it is made the subject of a
Rebels will vote for. Once in a while, how
ever, some eccentric Southerner, who did not
do fighting enough while the war lasted to
get tired of it, and who rather relishes the
present state of dormant war, lashes out
against the Liberal candidates, whose
election is to herald the incoming of a
genuine peace. In all such cases the Grant
papers greedily publish these effusions
with eager delight. "A Rebel who turns his
back on the past, and determines TO make the
best of the present and the future, who has
still a decent pride Of country and magma
nimity enough to desire the general good, is
garded as an outlaw by the papers which de-
live their inspiration from Washington while
they have nothing bat hospitality and praise

q with gravity worthy Of better sub
"ject.r And lest "our readers" 4" should not
recollect this important fact-whioh might
very well happen-7ho Neo- York Times
reprints half of ono of its OLD
leaders, and then suddenly considerably
adds: "We should be sorry 10 inillct the
"article upon our readers second time"
Why inHicti Can it be possible that even at
this late day a suspicion is dawnng upon the
mind of this writer that his brilliant and
beautiful compositions are after all an inflic-
tion upon his readers We hasten to reassure
him. The readers need not read unless they
please, friend; and our opinion is that pretty
often they don't please. We say this IN the
kindest way and with no intention save that
Of mitigating the late remorSe OF this long
winded and serious journalist.
After all, if the Wilson and Grant organs
didn't laugh vixen the Cincinnati nominations
were announced, they have lost their chance.
In spite of the gentleman who has stopped
taking THE TRIBUNE and has betaken himself
to The NepYork- Times; in spite of tho dis
tinguisbed but heretofore unheard-Of men who
have made ND their minds not to vote for the
Cincinnati ticket; in spite of omens and
portentS ipgeniously expounded as utterly ad-
verse TO the Liberal candidates, we arc in
clned TO lelieve that those who declare them
selves 80 serious now will be under no necessity
of making a similar declaration after the elec-
ton. The fact of their melancholy will be
patent TO all men. II % - e.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

When O Washington correspondent in the
Gen. Grant interest can think of nothing else
to telegraph to his newspaper, he sends the
following dispatch: "The feeling in favor of
Greeley is not 80 strong as it was O week ago,
"and the opposition to his Endorsement lat
Baltimore] is developing itself into something
"like effective organization" But this is par
ticular and specific in comparison with the
morsels of information with which the Renomi-
nation organs usually regale their readers.
For example: "John Jones of Skowhegan,
" Me-, who has taken THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
Z" for fifteen years, has determined to stop
ait, and to take" some other news
paper. Or this: "Peter Wilkins Of Han
cock Co., Tenn, contradcts the report that
"he will support the Greeley and Brown
"ticket.n Or this: ain the whole State of
Pennsylvania there is not o single Greeley
"and Brown Club. The Keystoners cannot
stand that humbug.n Then resource is had
to well-known names. For example (see The
Nep- York Times of yesterday: at is per-
"fectly well understood that Messrs. Trum-
"bull and Schurz are utterly disgusted at the
"nOminati0n of Mr. Greeley We also were
represented as "quaking with fear lest these
1.-TWO gentlemen should openly repudiate
"Mr Greeley" We were described as
thus wretchedly "quakingn at the very
time when according to another report
in The NeC- York Tines Mr.. Schurz
was saying: "Mr. Greeley was not
"my man, but there is now no other chance
"to beat Grantism." The other gentleman,
Mr.. Trumbull, of whose intentions we were
declared to be in such horrible fear, was also
at the same moment declaring that the Gin
cinnati NOMINATIONS, with which he was said TO
be so utterly disgusted." were those which,
after careful review of the whole field he
had determined to support. The absolute
"silenceu has been broken by Messrs Trum-
bull and Schurz and the "utter disgust" is
probably felt by the newspaper writers who
find their prescience and sagacity, this time at
least, entirely at fault.
But considering the turn which affairs are
taking, we are not surprised to find The New-
York Times solemnly assuring its readers that
it always considered the nominations at Gin
cinnati to be an extremely serious matter, and
never laughed at thom-never "We have
+" no doubt" it says solemnly that our
readers recOlleot that we discussed the affair

NEg CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION.

NEW CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION.
In accordance with legislation perfected at
the last session of the Legislature, the Gov
ernor has sent to the Senate for confirmation
the names of thirty-two gentlemen who are TO
undertake the work of drawing up and proposing
TO the people for ratification suitable amend
ments to the Constitution of the State. 1t
will be remembered that the work of the last
Constitutional Convention, though much OIL IL
was excellent, was, nearly all of it, rejected
by the people. The names now proposed by
the Governor consist of an equal number
of Democrats and Republicans. We GER
tainly hope that the Convention will
not undertake to do too much. The slow
ness of the people to mako changes in their
organic laws is one of the strongest elements
in our institutions. When changes are pro-
posed In the fundamental law, their nature
and the necessity for making them should be
clearly understood.
The clauses in our present Constitution, pro-
hibiting the State Government from contract
ing debts, except by vote of the people
sanctioning an act of the Legislature, have
been of great benefit in recent years. We
hope, now, for an amendment which will al
low the State to get rid of its non-paying
Canals The new Commission is exactly of the
size of the State Senate. We should judge,
from the list of names submitted by the Gov
ernor, that the Commissioners will make
very respectable body, and will be inclined to
discharge their duties with fidelity. The pres
ent political cOnjuncture takes some difficult
ties from their path. Let them make the best
of their opportunity.

A crisis in the affairs of France and NJ
Theirs is evidently approaching. The protests
of the Right in the Assembly were nominally
made in the interests of RepublicaDism and
against the personal government of the Presi
dent. But, as might be expected, the movement
was really designed to benefit the Royalists,
and the Right have invited the Due d'Aumale
into their conferences, leaving NJ. Theirs to
depend on the Left for support. He will re-
ceiye, however, but cold comfort from that
quarter, as he has done nothing to win those
delegates 10 him. Meantime, the Ministry

We learn from The Cincinnati Times that the
Methodist Conference Of that city has been inyesti
eating the charges made against the Rev. N. }.
Cramer our Minister at the Court of Den
mark, and the result is the opinion that Mr..
Cramer. :" in his private as well as official
character, is above injurious suspicion" 1t
seems to be the judgment OF the Confer
ence that the worst that can be said against Mr.
Cramor is that he happens to be connected by mar
riage with President Grant" This unfortunate gen.
teman must take the bitter and the sweet of life to-
Qether If he had not been connected by marriage
with President Grant, it Is not very likely that he
would have held his present office, with all its de-
lights and emoluments 1t might be well for the
Conference also to explain how it happened that Mr.
Cramer undertook to insult another guest at the
table of brother Minister, by intruding disagree
able topics of diplomatic controversy on social

Cincinnati platform and nominees, sending
a united Greeley and Brown delegation to

denomination has wrought its perfect work
in Arkansas. The Military Ring, whose in
trigues afflicted the U. S. Senate with Mr.
CLAYTON and the House with Mr.. Edwards,
issued its call for Republican State Conven-
ton, last Spring, in terms which were IN
tended to exclude all nti-Renomina-
ton men. 1t was purposely worded 80
as to ban those who did not wear the
Grant badge. Mr.. Joseph Brooks, who was In
a minority in the State Central Committee,
rebelled against this perversion of the term
"loyal," and, with others, bolted. Liberal
Republican organization was formed, Cincn-
natl indo1sed, and Mr.. Brooks was nominated
for Governor Now see what followed. The
Liberal movement spread; the Democrats
also suffering under carpet-bag and military
rule in Arkansas, at their Convention on the
Goth of June heartily accepted the Cincinnati
movement, elected Greeley and Brown dele
gates to Baltimore, and agreed to put no can
didates in the field against the State ticket
headed by Brooks. The Democrats had In
majority in Arkansas at the last election.

folios under difficulties which may cuimiha'o

There is no indication of any satisfactory
end Of tho strike" now in progress in this
city. On the contrary, delay has only en-
Uttered the workmen and strengthened the
hands of the employers. The action OF the
iron and metal workers lends new force to
the trades which had previously quit work
and their attitude is fortified by assistance
from abroad. The prosperity of important
branches of trade is now at stake, and 1t Is
possible that, before the dull Summer shall
close, we may finally lose valuable mechanical
interests.

The recent Sunday-school Convention at Pitts
burgh was entertained one morning as by circus
OF animated wax-work performance. Red Cloud
and his companions were escorted to the church
where it was held, and exhibited with pride and
pleasure by Mr.. Brunot, who, after hymn had
been sung at them, mentioned, incidentally, that
they had perpetrated of the greatest crueties
of war. Red Cloud made speech, complaining OF
the dreadful discomfort brought upon them by our
soldiers and the worthy President of the Conven-
ton gave nice little Grafton in return, adjuring
the noble chieftains of the insinuating scaipng to
love us as they love themselves This rather queer
affair ended with the presentation to the Indians Of
a package of those small and improving pictures
which are commonly given as rewards of merit to
well-behaved infants of the Sunday-sOhOol

II the War Department be not too much engaged
in making arrangements for the elections in the
Southern States, perhaps it can inform us whether
the following order was really issued at Yagainia
Bay, Oregon:
''NorIoE.-Any person employed on this work-Cape
fully on or of duty Of the President OF the u 81 or any
member OF the Cabinet, or any superior officer OF the
HENRY M. ROBERT,
Major OF Engineers, u s. A."
It appears from this that any person capable of
speaking disrespectfully of the President of Mr.
Fish or of the rest of the Constitutional advisers is
incapable of working to any purpose on light
house. We are glad to have the thing settled, but
we are sorry to have 1t left undecided whether q
journeyman mason who should speak disrespectfully
of the President would be equally incompetent.

One of those unhandy set of men called
