EDITORIAL ExTRACTs.

TlH subject of the protection Of Ameri-
can forests was very fully discussed At
meeting of excursionists at Sea Grove, N.
j., few days since. Alexander Whilidin
presided. An able and convincing argument
in favor of the holding of National Con-
vention at that''point some time during the
summer was made BY Mr.. George May
Powell, of New York. Mr.. Powell, in the
course of his remarks, pointed out very
clearly the immense damage inflicted upon
the interests Of agriculture, inland naviga-
ton, manufactures, the public health, ETC.,
by the detoresting going on, without re-
planting. 1t il very evident that the time
has come when some definite action should
be taken upon this important subject.
There is nothing in it of political nature,
nor can it be said that those who are agi-
tating it are influenced by any other than a
desire to promote great general good by
the abolishipg of s.grest general bad. No de-
finite time has We, been sgreed upon for the
holding OF the Convention.

was this class of the populace that greeted
him upon his recent arrival from India, .
rabble, that was vulgar, gross and ebscene,
crowded, pushed, and rendered the sur
roundings unpleasantly resonant with a
language decidedly unparaliamentary, but
no less forcible in the terse expressions OF

pondents writing from London to American
Journals remark il as singular fact that
it is among this class the Prince finds his
admirers, while the educated and refined
classes cannot draw line indistinct enough
to be invisible at times, and overleaped in
a determination with the Prince. He has
violated the highest confidence that the
nation could repose in the royalty OF the
throne and its lineage, and in this vlola'
tion has drawn about him the unenviable
silent dislike Of court circles. He will as
cend the throne notas the beloved choice
and wish OF the people, but as the heir TO

THE suUrR Al ST. LOUIS.

What the South intends 10 do al 81
Louis is qestien frequently asked.
Previous 10 the war the South was pcW-
er in politics. Its representave men were
giants in intellect Their opinions We're
based upon deep logic, and 10 them ali
looked as magnetic influence in pohli-
cal conventions. But the South now is by
no means what il was then. It's people,
We mean those born and raised there, not
those who rob and plumber, are studying
too closely the prosperity OF their country
to NEEDLE in politics. The rents OF the
war are being repaired, business recuper-
ated, honesteads put in shape again, and
the wheel of improvement kept in motion.
This takes up all their time, and they are
willing TO listen and be instructed The
delegates from that section will attend At
St. Louis, not TO suggest platforms, Or
advance theories, but 10 see that 1 good
man is named, vote ior him,
60 home tell the people who zeal them
there TO vote for him and work tor the
party with an sssiduity that can only
animate people who have suffered the
humiliation and degradation that these
have at the hands Of the present admins
tration. A correspondent Of the New
York Sun has Just had an interview with
General Clingham, OF Norti. Carolina, who
is in New York now on business. He was
leading Southern member Of Congress:
for fourteen years previous 10 the war, ane
was United States Senator in 1850, ser
wing with such men as jefferson Davis
Calhoun and others, and fifteen wears az,
was regarded as the leading man il
Southern politics, and therefore hi
views at this time are not 10 be dis
regarded as having valuable polilca
significance. He stated that the Demc
Gratis OF the South will rely entirely upo
theiudgment Of the party al the North 10
candidate, and We will be perfertly saii:
fed if both candidates GENE from III
North. No Southern man will offer ID
any place on the ticket, and even if he d
would not be voted for They leave Il
choice in the hands OF their ho-ther
brethren, and ali our delegates will go .
St. LOUIS unpledged. This expresses e,
actly the position the South will take .
the Convention, and We hope will serve t
quiet those extremely nervous iourna
who are afraid that the South will sho
Its grit and give the rebel yell on the eSt
of next month. The South will take Il
position most advantageous to itself an
TO the party. It's people are no long
political leaders, they have no bitter Sc
tional doctrines to promote, ask no favor
merely wish wha, is right, and will reser
the 6ghting until ths election takes plat
when the rebel yell will be heard for he
esty, Justice and political liberty.

TOO MUCH MILK PUNCH.

Bishop Gil. Haven, has turned up in u
new and somewhat novel role this time.
He has deserted the field OF politics, or
rather has unloaded it from his stomach.

mated for the third term. and the Al
mighty did not interfere in politics sufii-
ciently 10 secure for Grant this msch de-
sired boon. He now appears as lecturer
On Milk Punch and relates some de-
lishtful experiences with the delicious
beverage. Ii has been over forty years
ago. since ne had his first drink Of il in a
harvest field and he has not forgotten the
taste vet Ii was the best thing he ever
had. and he had often been tempted since
then 10 take another. Ii we mistake not
milk punch is decoction that contains
some OF the ingredients that Shakespeare
alluded to when he spoke of men putting
that into their mouths which steals away
their brains Now as the Bishop has
ever been regarded as man of good brains
Il was always matter of astonishment to
Us, until his recent address, how he could
have 50 tar lost his brains as to kneel down
with fully one hundred more clergymen
and pray that Grant might be nominated
for the third ,ern. But now We know The
reason of it, terrible as it may seem, the
Bishop has been tasting Milk Punch. He
should have put the devil behind him
forty years ago in the harvest field, when
he first tasted the fruit; and he would not
have been tempted until he lost his brain.
Punches are dangerous things either in
the head or in the stomach. Punch

Assured Defeat of Qtho Curtis.
A Republican Joint Representative
for Jefferson and Gallatin.

We have reliable returns from Gallatin,
showing the election of E. NJ. Bachelor over
Otho Curtis for Joint Representative IN the
counties of jefferson and Gallatin. This is a
triumph SO wholesome and SO little expected
that we respond to the known sentiment Of
large class of HERALD readers and give a
jubilant crow in honor of Bachelors victory.
With one precinct only to hear from-West
Gallatin--Bachelder leads Curtis in the two
counties by 81 majority. The precinct yet to
report will vary this majority but little either
way, and the election Of Bachelor may
therefore be considered an established fact
TO those good Democrats in Gallatin who
have contributed to this most gratifying result
"a result rs devoutly wished and prayed for
10y one party as the other-let due credit be
awarded. They have done nob!y, and have
ample cause for sincere thankfulness at so
glorious IL result.

liyered by the Hon. D. J. Morcel, U. S. Gen.
tennial Commissioner from Pennsylvania, and

Hon. John Welsh, President of the Centen-
NAL Board of Finance, delivered an address.
