The National Republican Convention
at Cincinnati nominated, upon the 7th
ballot, GOV. L. b. Hayes, Of Ohio, for
President, and w. A. Wheeler, Of New
York, for Vice President. Neither Of
these men have filed many Offices, but
are men Of ability, and We regard the
ticket the strongest that could have
been made. We believe that Blaine.
or Morton, or ConkIing, could have
been more easily defeated, for their
records are stained with more Corrup
ton. Nevertheless, we have every
reason to believe that "A good nomina-
ton at 81 Louis will insure q glorious
victory for the Democracy. oar Con-

Now, admitting this testimony Of
Adam Smith to be true, what becomes
Of the argument Of those who say that
the country cannot prosper unless We
have specie, or bank notes based upon
specie, for u circulating mcliumY
The very fact tia, an extraordinary
demand for specie in ono country
sometimes produces n specie famine in
another, proves that coin is unfit to be
IN exclusively legal tender in the pay
mcnt Of debts,
We are saliled, therefore, that the
adoption OF the provision in the Fed
craI Constitution which prohibits the
making Of anything Il Ioga! tender but
gold and silver coin, was a great tri-
nmph Of the Money Power in tue Con
ycntion Of 1857.

From crop reports from Northern
Mississippi, Northern Arkansas, and
West Tennessee, it appears that til,
cotton crop has decreased If per cent
as compared with last year. Tn,
weather generally has been less favor
able, and besides planters have suffered
much from overflow. A noticeable
fact is that while the number Of labor
crs has decreased 10 per cent, the
morale Of those now at work is consid-
cred improved. There is a gratifying
increase i'll the amount Of corn plant
ed, and the general condition OF the
crops is good. Hogs are reported as
nearly doubled in number and in good
condition, very few signs Of cholera be-
ing noticed.

The new Secretary Of War, in reply
to a note from Mr. CIymer, the Chair
man or the War Expenditure Commit
tee, says tual that cost the Govern
mcut sixteen thousand dollars for the
hire Of a carriage for the Secretary Of
War from the beginning Of thrs Adj
mini3lralion down to BnIimap's resj9-
nation on March I'd Daring Tie sex
en- years B,lknap was Secretary the
carriage was probably never used q
doH,u times for bis convenience or FOR
dispo,ching public business. 1t served
the same purpose Attorney Gen, VII
liams' landaulet did. 1t enabled the
HcIkuap family to ride out III style
every day and attend the numerous re-
ccptions and parties given during the
society season. Bat why the Govern
mcut should be taxed sixteen thousand
dollars for this luxury, the War Eypcn-
dilures Committee is going to find out.
