FRIDAY..................JANUARY IA
Cincinnati Convention.

1t has become fixed fact that Cincin-
natl is to be the place for holding the
Republican National Convention, and
June IA is to be the day. No better place
could have been selected. The time and
place now being fixed, the 'sropes" will
soon be laid, and the usual subterranean
wires be put in working order. Close
by this "head center' of the campaign
are three OF the most prominent Repub-
ican candidates, Hayes, Bristow,
and Morton. This may lend
interest and ardor to the occasion. Un-
doubtedly Cincinnati will be generous
In her open-handed hospitality towards
the numerous visitors and delegates who
will honor us by their presence during
the session of that memorable Centen-
nial Convention.
Now, as to the selection of q place for
holding the Democratic National Con-
vention, we would candidly advise their
Committee to go and do likewise. Let
them make Cincinnati the great Conven-
tion city for 1876. They can't do better.

1t was in Paris. An elegant lady went
out shopping. While she is engaged
there is a heavy tall ofraiu. The streets
are flooded, and to add 10 her distress,
her carriage stands on the far side of IA
large, open square, which has become a
lake. She signals to the driver, but his
horses, being young, will not face the
water. She stands ON the edge of the
curb, stamping her little feet, aud not
knowing what to do. A gentleman
passes and takes the situation in at a
glance. Throwing his cigar aside, he
steps up to the lady, seizes her by the
waste delicately, plunges into the tide,
and lands her safely on the lower steps
of her carriage door. Recovering from
her astonishment, she turns around and
mutters. "lnsolent" The gentleman
loses no time, butsteps back to the lady,
seizes her by the waist delicately,
plunges again into the tide, and lands
her where she was before. He then
takes off his hat, bows politely, and
walks away.

Ben. Hills Speech.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald, speaking of Ben.
Hilps speech in reply to Blaine, on the
amnesty bill gives this account of the
Georgia members great effort in defense
of jeff. Davis:
His speech was, as might be expected,
defense of j eff. Davis in particular and
the Southern Confederacy in general
against the charges and implications OF
cruelty in connection with Anderson
vile. He thought MIR. Blaine had no
more right to connect JEFF. Davis with
the brutal Wirtz than he had to hold
President Grant responsible for
the whisky frauds of Babcock,
Joyce and Mcdonald. But perhaps, he
said, sarcastically, the gentleman from
Maine was trying to subvert General
Grant, his rival tor the Presidency.
(Laughter.) Mr.. Hill got along swim
mingly in showing the clemency and
magnanimity of JEFF. Davis and the
Richmond Congress until Mr.. Blaine
read from book an account of resolu-
tion introduced in the rebel Senate by
Mr.. Hill, authorizing the putting to
death Of Union officers, soldiers or
agents who should be captured circulat-
ing the proclamation OF emancipation
within the Confederate lines, when the
laugh rather went against MIR. Hill, and
derisiyely at that, for the an
nouncement made a solemn impress
sion. Mr.. Hill, ON cross-examination
would neither admit nor deny this re-
port Of his conduct. He then assailed
the action of the Federal Government
no, he begged pardon, the Republican
party-for the brutal treatment of the
rebel prisoners at Elmira, an account OF
which he read from an old slip OF news
paper. Observing this, Mr.. Platt, of
New York, inquired what the authority
was he was reading from. Mr.. Hill an
swered ingenuously enough, "The New
York World" which admission was
greeted with roars OF laughter. He had
piled the agony ON to a very great
height about the Elmira business when
he was again interrupted by Mr.. Platt,
who said he lived within thirty-six miles
Of Elmiras and pronounced the whole
story unqualitiedly false. Later on Mr..
Hill read out Of a book some praises of
Jefferson Davis good qualities. After
he had read several paragraphs, Mr..
Hale rose and asked him from what au-
thority he was quoting. MIR. Cox hur-
Iriedly cried-"Dont tell him,v and Mr..
Hill said, "Out OF this book.n Hale per-
sisted in asking the title of the book and
Mr.. Hill presently said it was lie Of
Jefferson Davis by a Southern author.
This announcement created great laugh
ter.

BIaine's ANN esty Bill.

BlRine's ANN eSty Bill.
Mr.. BLAINE's exclusion of JEFF. Davis
from amnesty has been carped at in
some quarters by his own political
friends as measure impolitic and indis-
Greet. 1t is alleged that such measure
would have the effect to cause sympathy
for JEFF. Davis, and thus give him a de-
gree of conspicuity that might prove mis-
chievous; whereas, ii he were not thus
excluded it would look magnanimous on
the part of the Government, and leave
him In his obscurity as disgraced and
harmless old man.
No doubt, the papers which thus took
issue with Mr.. Blaine did so in good
faith, believing what they said in refer
ence to JEFF. Davis, his helplessness and
harmlessness. But we can not concur
with them in these views. They are
quite mistaken in their assumption OF
facts. JEFF. Davis is neither helpless
nor harmless. Were his disabilities re-
moved, as Randall's bill proposes, it
would not be two years before JEFF.
Davis would once more be member of
Congress. 1t would be done merely as
brayado. The spirit of the politicians
of Mississippi is precisely such as would
eagerly seize the opportunity to elect
Davis to a seat in Congress, simply to
evince their hostility of sentiment, and
to that extent vindicate the triumph of
the 'slost cause"
We do not apprebend that JEFF. Davis
in Congress could work any great
amount of mischief there. 1t is not that
which we would apprehend. For men
as able as himself, and not less devoted
to the "Confederacy," are already there,
and we fear nothing from them even if
they desired to WORK mischief But we
would oppose the idea of permitting the
head of the most gigantic rebellion
known to history to be publicly absolved
from his transgressions even while
boasting of his work of rebellion. To do
so is to do injustice to history. To some
it may bear the marks of exalted mag
nanimity; but to millions of men in the
future 1t would be regarded as a degrad-
ing pusillanimity.
But let history bear to posterity the
indubitable record that the chief of the
rebellion was not too great rebel for
the Government to strike, even while it
extended amnesty to all his followers.
and the future then may know that our
Government was not merciful because it |
was weak, but merciful because 1t was
strong. The single example of thus for
ever disfranchising the chief puts the
historic seal of reprobation upon the re- |
bellion that he headed, at the same time
that it records the power that crushed |
the revolt, and yet LETT its leader, in his
person, mercifuily unpunished.
The time has not yet come, when the
civil war is forgotten. We would not
awaken a single memory of its horrors. |
But when men seek to override all its |
results, and to overrule all its lessons,
the memory of the past can not slumber;
and men must recall the perils they en-
countered and the sutferings they en-.
dured, and will demand that at least
one example be made Of the authors ofI
their woe.
