State. declares that if nominated, War
moth .an not GET either the white or black
vcts there, which it has been so vigorously
asserted would be thrown for him.
The friends of Colonel c. F. Ladd declare
it to be falsehood that he is opposing the
administration policy in the convention. 1t
is asserted that he will show by his works
| today that he is on the side Of low taxee
and hoaest government.
Nv telegram of to DAY, cOuDtermandlng

| was based upon information just received
| that ex- Governor WarmOth would control
the Republican nominations shortly to be
made. This must prove fatal to the financial

I fraudulent Chattanooga bond interest is

The above, from New York banker, re-
ceived by his broker yesterday, contains q
prophecy already verified. Bonds have
gone down two or three points. Those who
have placed trust in the Republican party
carrying out the financial policy 80 solemn
~ enacted and pledged, and invested in the
securities issued hereunder, have lost
thousands Of dollars in the past forty-eight
hours. Is the Republican State convention
prepared to still further betrsy this faith in
their honest pledges of reform!
Colonel Jim Lewis was the first colored
man ever appointed IN inspector in the
United States customs service, Governor
Kellogg conferring upon him that distinc-
ton. That was in 1867, and ever since tba:
time Mr.. Lewis has held office through the
exertions and influence of the same gentle
man. When the Democratic city Admins
traitors combined to oust him from their
select circle, Governor Kellogg saved him;
when he WAS left on. in the cold subse-
9uen,ly, his excellency found Mr.. Lewis
warm and profitable billet.
Governor Kellogg is now fighting for the
integrity Of Republican faith and the main
tenance of Republican power honestly won
and deserved. We hope Mr.. Lewis will be
found, as he ought to be, among the Gov
ernor's staunchest supporters. The record
is now being made up, and We hope to find
his name enrolled high upon it.
Said leading real estate auctioneer: Il
have withdrawn from sale three pieces of
property to-day, because am sure could
not sell for ten per cent as high as last
week. There was decided looking up in
my line lately, but nobody will want to
but taxable property in this State until it
is an ascertsined fact that the hungry
boys Of 1870 are not coming back to
power Republican delegates. to escape
the absolute destruction of the party. must
take into consideration such facts as these.
A very new recruit TO Republicanism We
hement,y declared that if Governor Kel-
logg refused to eupport whoever might be
nominated by the sitting convention, he
would be trsitor to the party" The Gov
ernor retorted: "If such treachery will en-
title me to be selected for the highest hon
ors in the gift of the party at the next sub
sequent election, don't see why should
not profit by the example your leader has
set me-" Exit disgnsted Warmoth man.
prominent Wsrmoth supporter had the |
starch taken cut Of him yesterday. Urging
very pertinaciously that his friend would be |
and was the only man who |
could carry the State, Governor Kellogg
was provoked into the retort: "Step right in |
here to Mr.. Ogleeby'e, bank and will wager |
YOU $4,000 that ii Warmoth runs he will be |
beaten by 80, 600 majority" The astonished
politician pressed the subject just far
enough to ascertain that his Excellency |
was in dead earnest" and retired reflect |
ing upon the uncertainty of human am
bitions.
If the committee on credentials. backed |
by the temporary officers, attempt to ex-
clude delegates from the convention simply |
on their own report, and before making a
return to the body which gave them exist
ence, the consequences must rest upon |
them. If the convention and party should |
be disrupted by such violent and fraudulent |
actions, the evil be upon the heads of the |
offenders.
A most remarkable petition was fled in /
the Superior District Court yesterday, in
which Henry c. Dibble, lately Assistant
Attorney General, seeks to restrain Judge
q. r. Steele from exercising the functions
Of that Office on the ground, among ethers,
that Steele is not Q citizen of the State and
not member of the bar.
The fact is, Judge Steele, as soon as he
earned of his appoin tment by the Cover
aor in place of Dibble, declined peremp-
;orily to accept the Office, and Governor
Kallogg has already selected another gen.
leman tor the place, and he will probably
.eceive his commission to-day. The charge
hat Judge Steele is an alien is too absurd
or sober man to give credence to, and
he records of the Supreme Court of the
State show that he was admitted to prac-
ice therein in 1868.
It is difficult to see what can be gained
a the end by giving such absurd state
oents the dignity Of legal paper.
