Republican National Convention.
1876.

The next Cniou Republican National Convention
for the nomination of candidates for President and
Vice-Presdent of the United States will be held in
the city of Cincinnati on Wednesday, the fourteenth
day OF June, 1876 at II O'Clock noon and will consist
of delegates from each State equal to twice the num-
Der OF its Senators and Representatives in Congress-
and OF two delegates from each organized Territory
and the district of Columbia.
In calling the conventions for the election of dele
gltes the committees of the several States are
commended to invite all Republican electors and all
Ierences or previous party affiliations, who are
opposed to reviving sectional issues and desire to
promote friendly feeling and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and enforcing
al the constitutional rights of every CITIZEN incud
ing the full and free exercise OF the right of suffrage
without intimidation and without fraud; who are in
Iavor OF the continued prosecution and punishment
OF an ofnc1al dishonesty, and an economical adminis
ratlon OF the Government by honest faithful and ca
forms in government experience may from time to
time suggest; who are opposed to imparing the cred
1t OF the nation by depreciatng of its obligations
and in favor of sustaining in every way the national
faith and financial honor; who hold that the common
school system the nursery of American liberty and
should be main tanned absolutely free from secarian
control; who believe that for the promotion of these
ENDS, the direction of the Government should con-
tnue to be conded to those who adhere to the prin
cpes OF !776, and support them as Incorporated in
the Constitution and the laws; and who are in favor
Of recognizing and strengthening the fundamental
principle OF National Unity in this Centennial An
nlversary OF the birth of the Republic.

mortality of prisoners, SO,152; per cent. of
mortality In prison, 13 1-2; per cent. of the
mortality OF the whole number of captures,
1-3. Thus the mortality in rebel prisons
was about three times as great as that of Un-
ion prisons. Mr.. Goss also quotes from the
official report of the Confederate inspector of
prisons, Colonel D. F. Chandler, favoarbly
endorsed by the Confederate assistant-secre-
tary of war, to show recommendations actually
made to the Davis cabinet to replace General
Winder, commandant at Andersonville, with
some one more humane, and the only notice
thereof by Davis was to promote Winder to
the position of the commissary-generalo of all
the Confederate prisons.

Murderer Stokes got small comfort from
Judge Dykeman at White Plains, Saturday, the
judge denying his petition for release after
hearing the arguments and remaEdng him
back to Sing Sing to serve out the rest of his
sentence. The hearing gave Stokes counsel an
opportunity to file bill OF exceptions to the
general term of the Supreme Court, thus start,
ing fresh litigation and chance for additional
fees, without adding to Stokes chances for re-
lease the equal of straw TO drowning man.

STRONG opposition is developing to the
proposed reductions in the cost of the con-
sular and Diplomatic service. These reduc-
tions are evidently unwise, and the saving is
not great one. 1t is proposed to cut down
the 100000, for many years appropriated
"for the relief and protection of American
seamen," to 100000. This sum consuls and
commercial agents have been empowered to
draw upon for the relief of suffering seamen
and it has never proved too large. The re-
duction will not infrequently cause these
drafts to be dishonored. Another contem.
plated reduction is the consolidation of the
South American missions and the cutting
down of the consular expenses in China and
Japan. The sum saved will certainly be at
TIC expense of our trade with those coun-
tries. There we have to compete with Great
Britain, and that country is wise enough to
expend great deal on her consular service.
Unless we wish to abandon our commercial
relations with South America and the Orient
the proposed reductions should not be made

WARREN LEE Goss, president of tie Ma.
tional Union of Andersonville Survivors, has
written letter to the Norwich Bulletin re-
plying to Jefferson Davis's assertion that the
mortality of Confederate prisoners in Union
hand was in greater proportion than that of
Union soldiers in rebel prisons. Mr.. Goss
quotes the federal war department figures,
showing the total captures of soldiers and cit
izens by the Confederate forces to have been
1SS,145 It is estimated that of these half
were actually confined in prisons. The num-
Der of deaths in Confederate prisons was &c.
4O1; consequently the per cent. of mortality
in prisons was over 3S 3.4, and the per cent.
of entire captures about 10 3-S. Per contra,
the number of captures by the Union forces
was 6,169; number actually confined (the
rest being paroled OK exchanged S27,570:

THE Boston Advertiser, in a leader on the
export revival, expresses the opinion that the
course of trade is altogether encouraging. 1t
quotes from the last quarterly report of the
bureau of statistics TO show that our sales of
cotton goods TO foreign countries during the
year ended June 80, 1875, reached a value of
$4,990,695, the largest amount, with one ex.
ception, in any year since the foreign trade
was broken up by the war in 1861. In 1869
the amount was slightly larger. But up to
the end of last June the new movement in
cotton goods had not begun. Since that time
there has been an increase at the rate of
nearly sixty per cent. Moreover, the ship
ments, instead of falling off, are showing
constant tendency to increase. Since the
first of January the exports from New York
are in the neighborhood of four times as
much as they were during the corresponding
period of last year, estimated by the number
OF packages. Let as look, too, at the quail
ties of these goods. During the months from
July to November, 1875, inclusive, the ship
ments of colored cottons were 8, 1886, $40 yards,
against 2,269,O56 yards during the CORE
spending months of 1874, and 1858, 1928 for
the whole year 1S74-75. In uncolored goods
the quantity. was 19,12S,63S yards against
6,9S6,314 during the corresponding months,
and q, ,224, ,020 yards for the whole year 1874
rs. The total of both kinds was 22,467, 1908
yards in five months against 2SS17, ,743 for
the whole of the preceding year.
REAR ADMIRAL Slas III. Stringham died
in Brooklyn Monlay aged 78 years. He was
appointed midshipman in 1910, ard his first
service was in the President, when he par
ticipated in the engagements with the British
war. ships Little Belt and Belvidere. He took
part in the capture of the Algerine vessels in
1915, being at that time lieutenant, and
was commissioned as commander in 1881.
Ten years later he was commissioned as
captain; he commanded the Ohio in the
Pacific squadron during the war with Mexico,
was commandant of the Norfolk navy yard
from 1852 to 1866, and of the Charlestown
navy yard from 1856 to 1860. In 1851 he wa
appointed to the command of the North At
lantic blockadng squadron, which embraced
within its limits the whole coast extending
from the easternmost line of Virginia to Cape
Florida, and with the small force placed at
his disposal he did all that could be done in
effecting a blockade Of the southern ports
Flag-Officer Stripgham commanded in per-
son an expedition to Hatteras Inlet, General
Butler having charge of the military forces
The expedition was entirely success ul in the
attack upon and capture of Forts Hatteras
and Clark, the entire garrison surrendering
after great loss, while not man was killed
or wounded in the attacking force. In Sep
tember, 1861, Captain Stringham was re
lieved of the command of the squadron at his
own request, and was commissioned as rear
admiral ia 1862. Since that time he has
been on special duty in New York.
