The railroad war has had the effect to
hasten the collapse of the Erie-the
weakest and least able, perhaps, TO
withstand the pressure. Il has yielded,
and a receiver has been appointed
While such result is not, probably, TO
be looked for from others engaged in the
war, its effects may be traced In the de-
preston of the stocks of some of the
other companies, and snotably, perhaps, is
that of the Lake Shore, the stock of
which has already touched SO cents. This

The convention that assembled at Co
lumbus on the I'd INST was a full and en-
thusiastic one; nearly all the delegations
were full. The temporary organization
was effected by calling Hon. S. Danforth,
of Belmont, as chairman, who made
stirring speech upon taking his place.
General Sherman being in tire city, was
waited upon by a committee bearing the
compliments OF the convention, and an
invitation to a seat upon the platform.
Ex-Gov. Noyes was chosen permanent
chairman, and delivered himself of an ell
oquent speech upon taking the chair. At
it close, Gen. Sherman was introduced,
and briefly addressed the convention.
A very strong effort was made TO mould
the convention into an acceptance OF
Judge Taft. The speech of the chairman
even, took strong ground in this derec-
ton. The spontaneous desire of the con-
vention was for ex-Goyernor Hayes, and
in spite of his positive and repeated Iefu-
sal to stand, he was nominated on the
first ballot, and a motion came from the
son of Judge Taft. on behalf of his father,
to make it unanimous. There was no
withstanding the pressure, and all came
in to full and hearty acceptance of the
result. 1t is believed to be the best NOM
matt on that could have been made. and
one that will go before the people with a
winning enthusiasm

President Grant declares that he is not
and never has been candidate for re-
nomination, and that he does not want a
third any more than he did first term.
This is sufficiently explicit, but he g oes
still further, and declares that he would
not accept a nomination if it was tender
ell unless it should come under such cir
cumstances as to make 1t an imperative
uty-circumstances not likely TO arise.
In other words, as we infer, unless an un-
auimous denomination were rendered
him, and turbulent state of political af-
fairs justified it, he would not accept it.
Neither of these contingencies are at all
likely to arise, and it may be set down
among the things that are certain that
President Grant will retire from the

Beecher's religion of love, as set forth
in that memorable and rather chilling
colloquy which he proposes with the De-
Ity, as we gave.,a week or two ago, calls
for out some pungent criticism from the
secular press-especially the New York
Times of Monday last. God, I love
Thee now damn me if thou canst." The
love of God is, strangely enough, in the
minds of some, considered consistent with
the Ioye of man, and especially OF women
and Mr.. Beecher leaves the door open for
this comprehensive love. To ease himself
down, Willingness is shown TO preach
that kind of gospel Those who'are dis,
posed TO take advantage of it, as many
believe that Mr.. Beecher is, may find
that the debauchee may not be able TO
put on the defiant air at the judgment
which the great preacher foreshadows.
The Times is very calm, but very wither-
ing.

CLOSE OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The Assembly Journal OF Wednesda y
morning says:
The Assembly closed its session yes
tarday, having been occupied eleven
days. Its principal and most important
business was the adoption, after some de-
bate, of the report of the Benevolent
Work of the Church. After an earnest
and protraeted contest the friends OF the
committee, carried the day, and their re-
port was substantially adopted, except
til at part which recommended "budget"
of app ropriations, which was stricken
out. DIR. Talmage's church, Brooklyn,
was chosen as the next place Of meeting,
contrary TO previous prevalent expec-
tation that the Assembly would go to
Philadelphia. DR.. Morris has made an
excellent Moderator, kind, impartial, firm,
cool and clear headed.

,Chen you don't bel;eve 1t, in the face of
our own declarations?
Only two weeks ago we said in these
columns:
We have repeatedly explained that we are
not in favor Of indefinite expansion or of per-
petually irredeema BILE paper currency. Our
resolutions, offered in the Opposition State
convention, co onmenced as follows:
"WHEREAs, 1t is admitted that our national
currency should be made to corr espond in ralue
.0ith the currency Of the rest of the ,corld; but
inasmuch as the rate at which foreign coun-
tries are uilling to acc pit our currency in ex-
change for tLeir own depends upon their con-
f1dence in our financial stability, the degree of
our prosperity. the amount of our exports, and
to some extent upon their sympathy or want of
sympathy with our free institutions.
But we held hat the true way to reach specie
payments was not by crushing out the int rests
ofthe country but by promoting them. We
said:
RESOLVED, That in the judgment of this con
v-ntion the true road to specie payments is
through economical administration Of the GOV
ernment, reduced taxation. restored prosperity,
developed resources, and increased expectation
of the products of our inexhaustible fields, for
est and mines.
Could anything be palmer than that?

We desire TO express our gratitude
to the Democrats, Liberal Republicans
and Anti Monopolists of Dakota county,
in convention assembled on the l6 inst
at Pennington, tor the honor they con-
ferred upon us, in renominating us for
the State Senate. We regard this not as
q personal compliment, but as an en-
dorsement of our legislative course du-
ring the last two years; and especially
rs al evidence of public approval of our
efforts in favor OF economy and retrench-
ment in the public expenditures. If
elected we shall labor with renewed
zeal to reduce taxation, and protect the
peoples rights against all their cunning
and uuscyupulous enemies. There is
strong probability that the Opposition
will control the next Legislature. Ii it
does. such reforms will be inaugurated
as will greatly benefit the state; and, if
member of the Senate, we will do our
part in trying to accomplish them.
